Went to bed at 10 last night, set a WBTB alarm for 4:30. Woke up straight out of a dream, which I quickly recorded. It was very vivid and easy to remember. I was really tired, but excited. I stayed up for 30 minutes, and then I got back in bed and did some SSILD cycles. I managed about 4 short cycles, and then I started to lose focus.

I must have begun to think about the dream I'd been having before I woke up, because I ended up back in the same place as before, but with a few different aspects. I couldn't remember it as clearly, but the parts that I can remember involve me considering things from WL, in a very rational kind of way (rational for dreams, anyway.) That's new for me.

I think my problem this morning was my lack of intent. I was focused on doing the SSILD cycles lazily, and also on my first dream. Didn't think about attaining lucidity. Still, I managed to get back to that first dream That's good enough for me, for now!

Thanks for reading!
