So I've decided to do a 30-day challenge of using the SSILD technique. I have experimented with the technique before with somewhat mixed success. So this time I'm going to use nothing but SSILD for the next 30 days and record how many LD's and FA's I get. So here we go:

Day 3

Technically this should be day 4, but Saturday night I only got 4 hours of sleep, so I didn't even bother to attempt a lucid dream.

Tonight, however, I went to bed at about 12, but because my back was killing me for some reason, I didn't get to sleep until about 1. I woke up at 6:00, went to the bathroom, and then did the cycles before I fell asleep. To be honest, my dream recall was a little hazy, but I do remember one very hazy non-lucid dream, one FA and one LD.

1. I was at Target getting some supplies for some party with my friend. The line was ridiculously long (gotta love those old ladies and their checks...), so me and my friend decided to grab some Nerf guns and fight. These guns, though, were ridiculously overpowered, and they shot the bullets so hard they were able to leave cracks in the concrete walls. I figured that it wouldn't be good to destroy this Target (plus I couldn't imagine how much pain those babies could inflict), but my friend insisted and started chasing me with it. I was hiding behind aisles trying not to get shot until...

2. My mom woke me up in the morning. I got up and walked over to my closet while she told me some news or some story about something. I realized however, that my room looked wrong, like there was a mirror next to my closet that wasn't there IWL. I did a noise plug RC and found that I was dreaming, but as soon as I did, the scene went black. I tried rubbing my hands together, shouting, "lights on," and finally spinning around.

I don't remember exactly what happened next. I think I woke up, but managed to stay completely still and perform a DEILD, but whether that awakening was true or if I was lucid from the start of the next dream, I'm not sure.

3. I was lucid. I started flying off the ground without really thinking about it. I decided to go with it and lifted myself higher. I slowly rose to about 20 feet, and then I picked up speed until I got about 100 feet in the air. There were tons of power lines in my way, probably the biggest mess of power cables I'd ever seen, but I dodged them all fairly easily. I then set myself horizontally and prepared to take off. It took me a couple tries to get the right technique. I first tried Hancock style with my arms back, but it kind of made me pitch down towards the ground. Finally, I got it with both hands outstretched. I flew faster than any other time I had tried to fly in a dream (usually I just poke along at a really slow pace, like my flying engine is just a trolling motor). I managed to lift myself higher until I got to space. I continued to fly, while the planets rotated behind me, kind of like the background in the Flintstones. I continued this until my phone vibrating woke me up.

Day 3: LD - 1, FA - 1
Total: LD - 3, FA - 1
