Fantastic Fuzzman! Congrats on your recent success! Seems like you feel more comfortable in lds now and also figure a good way to solve issues if they arise. Nice!

Unfortunately my dream ended after about a minute as my wife woke me up with a sudden movement; need to try and work on ignoring exterior distractions. I want to tell myself to ignore the physical world, but I'm worried if I think of that then reverse-psychology will imply that I then think of my body in bed and wake up!
Man, that's so cool! I don't think I've experience this after an ld - only from midnight wake up from deep sleep mostly. I got some crazy shaking after ld once - it was as if a real person was trying to wake me up, but there was no one there (tactile hypnopompic that is).
