Going through a dry season, here. Very few dreams remembered. Last night I had a lucid dream, the first in about two months. Dream was very dark. I was in some type of conflict or combative situation. I began to rise and became lucid. I floated up and looked into an abyss, dark and deep. I knew it was my own unconscious mind and I spoke my desire to see deeply into myself. The dream dissolved into regular sleep.
Overall, it felt very positive, no fear or confusion. I have had a dream-goal of deep self-examination for some time, and this fulfilled it.

I'm in some kind of library, or bookstore. As I am reading a book, I seem to know I am asleep. There is a small key in my lap that moves on its own, going towards a lock. I have a short vision of being in a furious mind state and breaking a thick chain as I chant "Odin!" and "Auspicious One!". I am aware of dreaming and feel very powerful.

Early morning dream. I am deep underwater, diving, and photographing a huge dark shape in the water. I know it is some type of giant whale. I know I'm dreaming, and need have no fear. (I am creeped out by deep water, usually). I ascend to the surface knowing I can be anything I want.

Still having problems with recall, even though I am dreaming quite a bit. A few slightly lucid spots, here and there. Last night I dreamed of finding two dead songbirds. As I carried them outside a large raven appeared and looked at the songbirds then looked at me. I explained that I did not kill them, I just found them. Not sure of the meaning of this. There was no fear, no negative feelings. Also, on a side note, the Reverse Blinking technique is working wonderfully well to get me to sleep. I will continue to work on this.

Just found out about RB. My major problem is that I take so long to go to sleep, thus ruining my dream cycles. I will give this a try tonight. Fingers crossed!
