hi melanieb!
i'll keep this short for now.

my attempt failed in trying for lucidity when i finally went to sleep.

as i said above^ i went on a night walk around the near by lake. this is where all the REM payed off for me in WL.
the moon was out/ i looked at it- focused on it, and as my focus rose, a bright ring of light closed around the moon on both sides and the moon, would drop down from the clouds as if in suspension as i seemed to be drawing it out of the clouds.
it was at about 3:30/4:00 in the morning and the whole walk/night felt like more and more like a dream closing around reality.
with that much REM working on my senses in the dark of night, things i thought of- appeared, and what i thought was reality- disintegrated.
i've actually gained a lasting clarity after this experience of "tasting my neurosoup" you may say, and now my focus is on the the ominous moon in WL.. its something to see and think about weather day/night to wager the possibility of lucidity.

anyways i'll look further into this sleep dep and see if i can use it better and also if it can help anyone else... hm, maybe its best use is to incubate an all day WL dream sign, a sign to be found during sleep dep, different for each... i found the moon. haha

used with the all day awareness technique (the technique that brought me to this great site,) it could be useful.. at least for me.
ok too much ranting from me, i'll come back to this when i have more results.

- the dream i had after was quite vivid though by the way.
