My lucid comeback!

Looking back on my poor lucidity from last weeks I decided to introduce a new technique and change my sleeping schedule. The WBTB-alarm is no more, it was a fun experiment to see if it worked for me and I used it for a little more than a month now so I think it's time to move on. From now on I'll make use of auto-suggestion and DEILD/SSILD. This was the first night I tried auto-suggestion and it worked extremely good, if not too good. You see, I read a lot about DEILD the day before and it said how one shouldn't make use of an alarm that he/she has to manually shut off because you're not allowed to move and instead it was adviced to make use of auto-suggestion. Auto-suggestion isn't entirely new to me, last year when I had a DJ over at LD4all I didn't have any alarm yet so my only option was naturally awakening with the help of auto-suggestion. The only difference is that back then I told myself to wake up at a certain time, now I told myself to wake up after every dream. It woke me up 4 times, which was quiet annoying at first but now I see the potential in this. There was one problem though, every time I woke up my left leg was bended upwards like this.




Anyway, I had some interesting dreams which I could remember quiet well because of this fragmented sleep.

1. The seminar

I'm entering the dining room of my grandparent's house, not for diner but because there's a seminar for learning how to model and render stuff on the computer. The room was slightly larger than normal with some desks against the wall that had computers on them, on the table in the center of the room were two computers. There were 3 people in the room, two sitting at a desk and one who aproached and welcomed me. He asked me if I had some experience and I told him I'd been rendering with Blender for some time. I sat down at the table and waited, we ate some fries and after some hours it got late. The atmosphere was really good and I enjoyed my stay but I decided to go home. On my way home there was a parked car that I wanted to enter or just run passed but it moved forward and backward blocking my way. I got extremely annoyed and began shouting at the driver who seemed to be angry too. Then when I passed the fry shop in the center of town I met up with my mother. She wanted to go and eat some fries but I told her I had already eaten fries that midday.

I wake up, before I realize it I already moved and was fully awake. After 20 minutes I fell back asleep.

2. The new teacher

I'm at school, it's the first day and I have chemics. The teacher is new, the whole class is new and I seem to get along with everyone quiet well. Infact I'm the most popular guy after some minutes, anyway the lesson is very interesting and we get to do a lot of experiments ourself. I'm a bit sloppy and the person I was working with did most of the work. Then the class was over and I made my way to next class, which was also chemics with same teacher but in a different room. Or rather the room changed after I'd been in there for some minutes. He tolds us we would watch a film, I took a place and waited for it to start.

I wake up again, I don't move but notice my left leg is bended. Although strange I don't give it much thought and reposition myself.

3. War horse II

The film we're watching is 'War horse II' (IRL I watched the first one but didn't see the beginning, I started watching when the cavalry gets mowed down by the machine guns.) the opening scene is some people getting in two rowing boats with a horse, it's very foggy. I feel as if this is the same opening scene from the first film. (I have never seen the opening scene of the fist film IRL, I swear if it's the same scene as I saw in the dream I'm a wizard!) First the movie explains how the horse is a hero, it has fought in over 50 battles and so deserves to be resqued. It is wounded and laying somewhere in Nazi-occupied territory, next I see a strategic map on which plans get drawn out to resque the horse. They can't just go in and take the horse back cause they would look like enemy's aproaching the base and be shot down by MGs. The second plan was to transport the horse over a river in the north, however there was a minefield there so that was not going to happen either. The last plan was to go over the river, dig a channel from that river to another river leading into friendly territory and then using a submarine to go passed the defenses.
