Just ignore the subject of this post. I thought it would make it easier to write an intro. Well, it did .

Im a 1983 vintage and had several lucid dreams before waking up several times n my life. I somehow figured out how to get those more often (that was about 5 or 6 years ago) but somehow forgot it again because of the lack of sleep I took back than.

Last monday (01.10.04) I read something about how sleep works (there was a note about lucid dreaming) on howstuffworks.com, proceeded to wiki and there I found a link to this site. Everything seemed very friendly and the idea of "Journals" catched my attention. The last cupple of days I tried to wake up in the middle of the night with the "drink water method" and setting my alarmclock. The first way didn't really work out fine and the later one made me come late to work once because I just switched the alarm of without noticing it . last night it worked for the first time. I woke up at 0300 (or a little later), then tried to remember everything (really hard) and then went to morpheus again. In the morning before walking up I was lucid for only several seconds and it was more halluzinating than really dreaming. I could decide on waking up or not but I wasn't sure if I had to go to work already so I woke up. I still had a little time left and took a bath.

After that I went to the Bus and wrote down everything I could remember of my dream. (I'll post that in the journal section).
