Entry for 09/08/2013:
Preparation: RC, Reverse RC, ADA, Drank a large glass of Milk 6 hours before sleep. Brightened up the room a little with a CFL Lamp(white light) because of the suggestion of the Dream Recall Compendium thread.
Gone to bed at 12:20 AM itself, But I was simply unable to sleep as I have not slept so early in the recent past, so i tried to chant the mantra with a goal of 100 chantings!, I think I overdid it a little because I was chanting for almost half an hour or so, I simply could not sleep at all,but i remember having a very small session of sleep(maybe 20-30 minutes) then I am awake and chanting again but finally, I think the sound sleep kicked in at around 1:40 AM, woke up at the sound of alarm at 6:05 AM, I don't know why, but I was VERY tired, Even though my alarm is a voice alarm which goes up gradually, and it although it says "Don't move Stay still record your dream" repeatedly, this time around my singular thought was to switch off the alarm, and I did not remember to WILD at all because I was so tired! so I went to sleep, without even recording the dream in my Phone. anyways, the second alarm goes off at 9: 00 AM and this time around, I could remember to somewhat stay still in bed and recall the dream, but all i could recall was the latest dream I was having, (i think i was in that dream, when the alarm rang, because it felt so recent) but even still, I could not recall it with the same clarity as I did with yesterday morning. anyways, I updated my phone DJ, and then immediately woke up. I am planning to attempt WILD tomorrow at 6 AM as well.

Strangely, Yesterday, when I had slept in complete darkness for the first 6 hours and then slept in a room lit by natural sunlight, for another 5 hours, I could recall two long dreams with somewhat a satisfying clarity but today, I wonder if the recall was affected by the sudden change in the ambient light for the first 6 hours of deep sleep? It is too soon to tell, so I am going to continue with the brightened room for another week and see how it goes.

Edit: One of the most recurring themes in my dreams is undoubtedly My Childhood Home and Hometown and all other associated figures/objects with it. I must etch this into my memory.
