Hello. I almost did it again! I had a long dream about me being in college and then at one point, I had a red pen in my hand. For some reason I done a swinging motion with it and it suddenly turned into a black pen! That's when I realised I was in a dream and said to my self 'reality check' Usually I look at my watch to see if it has any hands, but recently i've been using this program on my computer were a reminder pops up, telling me to do a reality check. Aswell as looking at my watch, I tried breathing through my nose whilst holding it. In the dream I held my nose, tried to breathe....and could! It was really wierd and I can remember the feeling. Unfortunately, I think due to the excitement of realisation, I woke up I tried rubbing my hands but whenever I do that, I just get stuck in some kind of black abyss of nothing.

I think my new aim is to find a way to keep in a dream when I realise I'm in it.
