Side Notes
I also spent about 45 minutes reading before I went to sleep, which got rid of my problem of not being able to fall asleep.
I should mention, the dream where I was moving to New York, almost the entire dream was spent just driving around talking to my family. It felt like a pretty long dream, and I spent the entire duration of it driving. I miss having a car. = /
My alarm went off at 7:30, I called Kaia right as it did. Then I made a 1.5 minute audio recording of my dreams throughout the night up to that point. My next alarm was scheduled for 7:35, and I probably went to sleep at 7:32. The lucid scenario occurred within three minutes of falling asleep.
Attempted to WILD last night at the beginning of my sleep. I felt like I was moving into the state. Body started pulsing and shaking, whole body felt cold and extremities were basically non-existent, tunnel hearing, I was making progress. Then my body just forced me do some kind of weird swallow thing, and it started to fade. I plateaued in a physical and mental state that was nothing like my normal waking state, but where I was no long making progress towards a conscious sleeping state. I attempted this at 6:30 in the morning. Gave up at about 7:15, I believe. I had been on the dream view IRC for a while talking before that to Vortaix, RealDealMagic, Xyvoch and Paige.
but a post, bringing my dream journal to life.
