Im new here like ya couldn't tell

I first checked DV out 2 days ago and decided I wanted to try this out.
Well gone from remembering vaguely 1 dream every 4-8 months to 2 in my first night by "I will wake up after my dreams tonight"
Dreams werent at all vivid (any maths students, my first one i was stuck/caught in a asymptote of a f(x) = 1/x graph .... yeah weird)

My second night (last night), well something just devastated me an hour before bedtime (my dog returned home after getting bitten by a snake, and subsequently died), so i only ended up sleeping 3-4 hrs, and i didn't bother even leaving my journal near my bed to write in, nor was i interested in waking up, but i still had a very vivid dream that night, and recalled most of it in the morning.
The second night was more like "I am with my school friends and i am doing this" , the first night was "i was caught in a maths graph, i got chased by a polar bear", so i guess i DILD is possible, ive never really dreamed in the present tense before.

I wonder what the next few weeks will bring me.
Im glad to be here, seems like a good community
