I feel like my recall might be improving already due to the new way I write down my dreams. Might have something to do with the fact that I'm able to type quicker than I can write and am thus less likely to lose my patience and make a mess of it. Or because I'm now writing for an audience.

My dreambuddy (werty52) and I have come up with a challenge: whoever becomes lucid first using DEILD, starting last night. I think both of us are still struggling with the same issue though: how to wake up in the middle of the night consistently. I prefer to use an alarm that will turn itself off after a few seconds, but haven't found one yet. Last night I did wake up in the middle of the night spontaneously, but I had issues laying still because I just was not comfortable, though I did fall asleep again within what felt like a few minutes.
