October 28, 2015: I've maintained the earlier bedtime, 10:30pm, for two more nights. Have been sleeping very well, but when I do wake up in the night, it's hard for me to stay awake long enough to even think about lucid dreaming, let alone attempt FILD or anything else. Have been remembering 3-4 dream scenes each night. Vividness has improved a lot, even if the dreams themselves aren't very interesting. Last night I had a dream that I was riding a horse with fluffy tan fur, and I could see the individual hair strands as well as feel the thickness and texture of the fur. I ended up falling off the horse and landing in some water, and the water felt vaguely cold -- it's been a long time since I've felt temperature in a dream.
