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 6

I went to bed about 12:30 last night and set my alarm for 5:50. I woke up, went to the bathroom, wrote some in my dream journal, and then did the cycles before I went to sleep. No lucids again, just 3 fairly long dreams.

1. I was watching this video about this new piece of gaming equipment - basically a helmet that read your brain waves and translated them into motion for your character. It seemed more like a Home Shopping Network segment, and it was hosted by John Anderson and John Henson from Wipeout. The segment showed this woman with a helmet that was connected by ridiculous looking wires to this small robot that mimicked her moves completely. I ended up watching the video twice, the second time with my dad, who asked stupid questions while it was going on, like "Why does the robot have lungs if it can't breathe?"

*WBTB was here*

2. I was at some hotel or convention center for this talent show that we have every year, Teen Talent. I was supposed to audition for piano, but I didn't have a song prepared. I figured I was just going to improvise something since I couldn't think of a good song to play. I remember seeing my drama instructor from church as well as some of my friends from church who were also there for Teen Talent. When I finally played for the audition, I played this Legend of Zelda piano medley that I've been working on IWL. It sounded good, but I don't know what the judge thought of it.

3. I had some friends over at my house. We were either watching or playing some game show in my family room in front of the TV. I thought the intensity of the game needed some sprucing up, so I decided to set up lights to help make it more interesting. I had Christmas lights, spotlights, can lights, and even some motorized lights that turn by themselves at my disposal. I had them all set up how I wanted it, but I spent a long time trying to figure out how to work the controls in the back. I finally figured it out, and the lights looked awesome, but then I woke up.

So yeah, 2-day drought of lucids. After the promising start I had with this technique, I didn't think this was going to happen. Don't worry, I'm not stopping. If anything, this failure's making me try harder.

Day 6: LD - 0, FA - 0
Total: LD - 4, FA - 1
