Last night I turned in at a good time, and woke up at around 5am after a long dream which I could recall in great detail. I decided that this would be a good time to try WBTB, and it nearly worked. I sat up and wrote my long dream down on a notebook for a little while before turning back in.

What followed was a long series of dreams in which I have just woken up and in the process of going about my morning. In some of these dreams, it all seemed so realistic, but I felt like doing a reality check anyway. But the reality checks didn't work. I tried pressing my finger through my hand, and I couldn't. So I still wasn't sure if I was dreaming, it seemed so realistic. It's a shame, because it would have made for an awesome lucid dream. One thing I forgot to do was trace my steps and ask myself how I got there. I should do that more often as a reality check.


Still deciding whether to experiment with MILD or DILD. I don't see why I couldn't do both, since DILD is reliant on daytime awareness and MILD is about some pre-bed ritual or mantra (it's been a while since I've read up on MILD so I could be wrong).
