7.8. -> 8.8.

1 normal dream: 1 pt

8.8. -> 9.8.
After some hours asleep I awoke around 5 a.m. Time for WBTB and a 20-minute Muse-monitored awareness meditation before a WILD attempt.

Spoiler for funny freezing:

After listening to my breath for a while, I feel to be in the phase between awake and sleeping. So I visualize myself somewhere and try to look around. My usual test if a dream wants to form is trying to perform a full 360 degree spin. If my "vision" stays intact and there is no resistance I'm near the dream state. If I only manage 180-something degree, I'm still closer to my physical body than my dream body and the physical senses are still stronger. Gradually my mind gets away from my physical body and a dream scene forms itself. I'm ourdoor, at daylight. I pass the critical moment to stay aware that all of this is me, dreaming. I focus on the competition and my three-step goal. I wanted to play with water! There is the ocean, I'm at the beach. Well, that is a WAY to huge body of water to freeze or to boil! I realize that this is a beautiful carribean beach, the one I've been in March, aquiring my basic PADI diving brevet. There should be a pool around. I find it and step at the edge. "Walking on water - you just have to believe and than it's easy" I tell myself and make a careful step with my left foot on it. It feels like pudding, squeezing and bubbling. But it holds me! I make a few more steps and stop in the middle of the pool. I shake as a realize myself standing on the water, which feels like glass now. I knuckle down and put my right hand into the pool and fetch some water. It's still water, not very clean and full of chlorine, but normal water. While I sink in a little (my ankle is in the water, not more, while the pool is about 2 meters deep), I push my full right hand into the water and imaging pure coldness coming out of it. The pool responds by freezing, I hear cracking sounds and see a misty breeze around me. Stupid me now is completely stuck as my ankles and right hand is covered in hard ice, I cannot move out. After panicking for a moment I lose control and awake. That was STUPID. And fun, too
