      Dose: 50 mg Pro plus caffeine (with water)
      Supporting Supplements: None
      Prebed Supplements: None
      Bedtime: 10.58 pm
      WBTB time and length: 5.50 am (20 min)
      Time of dose: 6.05 am
      Morning wake time: 5.50 am and 6.00 am ( - see note)
      Technique: DILD
      Lucid: Yes
      Insomnia/loss of sleep: I did take a rest/snooze at the start of the WBTB as I woke up 10 minutes before the alarm which I then switched off.
      Post-WBTB was not a major problem. I did feel a bit warm though and slightly uncomfortable (which wasn’t Caffeine related.)
      I did repeat a couple or so mantras, etc. and I had my totem.
      (Total sleep time = 8.75 hrs approx)
      Comments: A fairly vivid and interactive dream. I had reasonable awareness, but I did sort of get sidetracked.
      I did have some control where I could think, etc. The dream was quite a long affair for me.
      I had good recall of the event which helped with recording details, etc. which included other NLD’s.
