I fell asleep with one goal on my mind - to experience my first (technically second, I suppose) lucid dream. I studied various WILD guides. I set an alarm. I pulled the covers over myself. It was time to dream.

Strange tingling overcame the lower part of my body after what seemed like ten minutes, but then I was jolted awake by a Skype call blasting through my speakers. Apparently, I was yanked out of stage 1 sleep. 25 minutes actually passed. Not giving up yet, I soldiered on but fell completely asleep within minutes. The battle was not over, however - as any dreamer knows, developing dream recall is perhaps the most important step to becoming a lucid dreamer, and regardless of whether I could (as unlikely as it is) achieve a WILD, I still met one goal:

I remembered a brief tidbit of one of my dreams. It was absolutely strange, and its connotations left me feeling somewhat homophobic. I'd watched what amounted to a Youtube poop before going to sleep, and it included a disturbing (non-explicit) introduction to a gay porn video. Awakening, I realized that I dreamt about something influenced by that video. In the dream, I recall inserting a massive plastic earplug into my oddly oversized urethra. That's all I remembered, and frankly, I'm glad I don't know the rest of the dream.

Needless to say, I do not wish to repeat that bizarre dream. Tonight, I plan on recalling more interesting content. I begin sleeping according to the Dymaxion schedule in less than a week. I intend to be writing frequently in this journal to keep myself updated and aware of the whole experience.
