Night of April 16, 2013
Dose: 1 bag green tea
Supporting Supplements: Prebed: 10MG Melatonin WBTB: ¼ cup mugwort (packed) 10-15min simmer prepared prebed.
Bedtime: 9:30PM
WBTB wake time: 2:30AM
Dose Time: 2:30AM - 3:00AM
Technique:WILD failed. DILD/DEILD
Lucid: YES
Dream Comments: Dream control seemed pretty easy. There was some wakefulness but I also felt pretty alert and rested when I woke for WBTB. I seemed to be deep in NREM when my son woke me. It was a dim awareness in the void almost like deep meditation. That was @ 3:30. The caffeine had kicked in at that point and I had to count myself down and sort of gave up on WILD. I had a brief DILD and had to DEILD back in. I think I lost lucidity briefly but recovered quick.

It seems to me that just a negligible amount of caffeine (25-30mg?) helps aid in mental alertness and recall when using mugwort.
