Pre-Sleep:
Good Meditation again an hour before sleep. No TV.
In bed, incubation of first scene - then distilled to one 'frame' at concert with mantra.
Stressful report to write for work kept me awake composing draft plans for 4 hours - sleep about 2am.

Sleep:
2 fragment dreams followed by long Concert Dream coupled with river/water dream sign. Non-Lucid.
Summary: I am at the outdoor field concert of incubation but larger scale consisting of 5 stages with 100's of thousands of people. The 2 lower stages have been flooded by river (dreamsign) and two large tug boats with cables are needed to stabilize remaining 3 main stages of concert from being swept away. I suggest/realise we need to go "upstairs" to get 3 remaining stages away from the strong current of the river so tug boats can secure concert stages more easily.

Post-Sleep:
6am work start so very tired. Amazed at dream about concert incubation semi-successful but also realise that my subconscious has used dreamsigns of river/water and incongruity of "going upstairs" in a river in an attempt to make me realise I am dreaming. I still do not realise and attain lucidity. Almost like I am resisting realisation of dreaming despite best attempts by my own subconscious !!??

Self assessment:
I am achieving concert incubation although not achieving lucidity so sub-conscious bringing in dream signs in attempt to help my consciousness realise dream an LD. I still obviously lack energy/awareness to bring this to the fore and become lucid. Beginning to think I may be trying too hard and draining my energy that is obviously required to become lucid at concert task.
