Hi Nyx - glad you enjoyed the 'bed' incident! Ha ha! Actually came to back to bite me on the bum - as this morning both my daughter (4) and son (7) both independently wet their beds! Dooh!

anyways - had 1 lucid night before last(#63) . This was a suprise as I wasn't doing my tech - night off. But as I'd gone to sleep I'd been thinking I wanted to concentrate on 2 actions in my next dreams to try and have a simple task to do. If I were indoors I'd try and hover/float, if outdoors I'd fly. Anyway went to sleep on these thoughts and at some earlish stage in the night I had a dream I was flying and after a short bit I realised that I only ever fly in lucid dreams and so became lucid and continued flying for a bit, before waking up - so good bonus! I think the dream was a bit longer than normal, no RC required. But it was much earlier in the night and my recollection of it is a bit hazy as I woke up from it at the end but immediately fell back to sleep (I'm guessing it must have been 2ish in the morning). Anyway - this is the first LD i've had outside out doing the tech in AGES so nice to get a bonus.

This morning after my daughter woke us up at 4am having wet the bed did the normal tech. And got lucid around 5.00ish I think (#64). The 'wbtb' (if you want to call getting up doing a short spin cycle and showering her as a wbtb!) probably helped. The NLD part of the dream I've frustratingly forgotten (unusual for me but I was pretty tired from the days work and had been out doing an outdoors fitness class in the dark and rain so pretty smashed when daughter woke us up early) - but I was walking out in the dream to an outbuilding, plywood and as I got inside it , it was dark and I just got the feeling that whilst it was unlikely, there was a tiny poss I could be dreaming, I tried to do a watch RC but the light didn't come on on my watch and I immediately thought 'I'm dreaming' anyways - sigh - I think the surprise of made me jolt a bit and the lack of light meant I just stopped doing anything, and woke up.

I figured I had plenty of time to play with so went back to sleep. After one more cycle of audio/vibe/interuption I was dreaming I was in bed and I just knew I was dreaming (#65), I did a watch RC again and the time changed each time, so in the bed I started rubbing my hands together, this stabilized the dream, until I realized, oddly I was holding my son's minauture rugby ball in one of my hands, the texture (rubbery and rough) made the rubbing good - but I can't remember why - but I lost the dream after that - waking up- I think I just was too knackered. I checked the time on the clock and it was mid way between cycles.

At that stage I feel really sleep deprived so disconnected the audio and clock and went 'free dreaming'. Had several very vivid NLD's and it was interesting how my NLD self really spent alot of time trying to explain the oddities in the dreams away - trying several times to create false memories (in one I was looking at a photo album with my sister of places I'd never been and was trying to explain how this could be). Interesting how maybe without the awareness the regular interuptions bring my awareness quickly degrades - but then I was pretty tired too. After that my son came in crying that he too - for the first time in years - had wet the bed! And that was that for the day dreaming wise!
Anyways another 3 short LD's in the last 2 days - can't complain, just gotta fix on keeping them going longer. cheers T

quick final bit to add, was looking at my LD freq by month so Jan - not enough info in this diary as just started DV
feb - vibe nites = 8
mar - vibe nites = 4 (felt I became desensitized and no more lucids, stopped by april)
april = 0
may = 0
jun = 0
july = 0
aug = 12 - develop new method - interupted sleep audio method
sep = 13
oct = so far 6 (middle of the month)
so def spike upwards again and last 10 wks pretty consistant rate of around 3 LDs a week - hurray! Thanks for your support NyxCC!
