yet another lucid dream! i find it quite interesting that its only after stopping actively trying to lucid dream ive been able to. i was slow to journal, and thus didnt manage to record many details, but i realised i was dreaming after meeting a LD youtuber, & realising he did not prompt me to perform a reality check.
once again, this dream was quite a blurry one. ive heard that "your dreams are never blurry, its just your memory is poor", but i ca attest against that. it was blurry, and in the dream itself that frustrated me.
another interesting pattern ive realised in my dreams, is that 'my' love interests are always women, despite the majority of my partners & crushes being men. perhaps i should learn some more of the lore surrounding this dream identity?

i had another lucid dream, finally! this time was very brief, ive fallen behind on my Retaining Lucidity practices. there was no real trigger for it, interestingly. i broke into a house and poked around, accepting the odd furniture and the fact that i wasnt sure what i was doing there. but the moment i sat down at the computer, everything just clicked. i thought 'huh, thats pretty cool!' and figured id try to get the computer working as it would while waking, but while messing around on there my lucidity faded fast.

i had a lucid dream! im unsure of exactly when i became lucid, though i wasnt entirely. it may have been towards the end of the dream, as i recall it was all very blurry. i remember looking at some distorted coffee mugs and thinking 'oh shit, im waking up'.
i communicated with the dream through the Google Home i had in the kitchen. i dont recall the first question i asked it, but the second time i asked how to extend my REM period so i wouldnt wake up. i dont know if thats even possible, and i dont remember getting a response, but i just imagined brainwaves and that seemed to keep me in the dream a few minutes longer, so good enough for me!
the dream remained blurry, and i eventually came-to enough to be woken up by a pet's breathing about 4, 5 am.
this was the first LD ive had in recent memory that actually took place at night-- the rest of my LD's tend to happen after my first alarm goes off.
