Well, I am excited that I had my 2nd LD in 3 weeks, but my problem is that I just get to damned excited. The one last night probably lasted 10 seconds. I did MILD after staying up for 40 minutes, and a few seconds into my dream I knew I was dreaming. I pinched my nose to breath thru it, and I did. Everything was vivid for a few seconds - it then faded to black and then I woke up.

Any tips on how to stay calm and stay asleep? I think next I'll try to work it into my mnemonics. The one I was using last night was "I am dreaming." Perhaps I should add "and I am calm!"
