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 5

My timing tonight was absolutely horrible. I went to bed at 12:30 and set my alarm for 5:45 (I seem to have best results if I wake up after 5 hours of sleep). However, I naturally awoke from dream 1 below at about 4:00. I figured, what the heck, so I did the cycles then instead, but left my alarm on just in case. However, I then naturally woke up after dream 2 at 7:30ish for some reason - meaning I completely slept through my alarm (which automatically turns itself off after 15 seconds). Somewhat disappointed, I tried the cycles again before I went to sleep. I don't remember any dreams from then until I woke up again about 5 minutes before my final alarm went off at 10:30. As a result, I only had 2 somewhat-disappointing non-lucid dreams.

1. I was back at the grocery store (dream sign, anyone?), but instead of being a normal grocery store, it was the set for a kid's game show. The set looked like that old show "Legends of the Hidden Temple", but had the premise of "Supermarket Sweep" (2 big reasons why the 90's were the best). Kids would run down the aisles retrieving specific products and bringing them back to the front of the store.

2. I went back in time to when I was in 8th grade (I remember thinking "8th grade is fine. I'm sick and tired of all this college stuff.") One of my coworkers (yes, from the grocery store...) was our substitute history teacher. She was writing our assignments on the board, which included "Frog Dissection Part 2" (kind of a weird thing to do in history class), and two long papers. I remember thinking how interesting her handwriting looked, almost like it looked like in real life (yes, I'm an idiot. I was so close, but hey, it's progress, I suppose...).

Day 5: LD - 0, FA - 0
Total: LD - 4, FA - 1
