Wow, that really makes a lot of sense. Having it pointed out like that makes it crystal clear when looking back at my previous lucid dreams and how they ended.

That sounds fun! I don't have a sound card in my computer, nor a mic, so I think I'm disqualified for now. But it is fun to make up new acronyms. I always guess when I see them, and make up new explanations for existing ones.

I'm still practicing the TILD method. I got 3 more attempts in today, but no lucidity yet. I was thinking that it would make for my most epic TOTM completion if it was also a TILD. I'm trying for the elevator task. All I got was a brief dream of holding green onions and sorting through the good bunches from the bad ones...
