Last night I didn't dream anything. Well I just don't remember any of it. I'm going to say that the biggest cause of this was that I watched tv for about an hour and a half before going to sleep. So for now on I'm going to try to avoid using any TV, phone, I pad, ect. 1 and a hlaf hours before going to bed.

I wasn't able to attempt wild last night due to the fact that my alarm didn't go off. That was really a let down because I thought I had the alarm set. This isn't the first time I'm doing this, so for now on I'm going to be checking the alarm before I go to bed.

Now for the good news. I think it's that I may have timed my rem cycle corectly. At first I tried using affirmations to wake me up, but that still has not worked, but last night I used a trick where I drink a lot of water before bed to wake me up at night after a rem cycle and it worked. I woke 1 time about 5 hours after sleep. So I'm going to use this to try and find my rem cycle.

I was In a very different place than where I would normally be. Everything looked like a cartoon. The details are fuzzy, but I do remember being on top of a tower and looking down onto dry rocky soli and being surrounded by two large building made of wood and sheet metal. I was also around some people who I also have a weak recollection of. All I do remember is that like the rest of the dream they looked like they belonged in a cartoon. Then everyone started talking about ways of becoming lucid. I didn't engage in the conversation. It was like the entire dream I was just watching it as it went. While they were talking about lucid dreaming a method was mentioned, but I forgot which one it was. Then they started talking about a new topic, something about how something's were genuine and others were not. After that I don't remember anything else.

This is my first strange experience with sleep and lucid dreaming in general. This also happened before I was even a sleep that night. As I was lying in bed to go to sleep my mind began to wonder to other thoughts. Eventually I was thinking of walking on a trail in the woods. At this point my consciousness could have lapsed any second. But as I was walking I began to get a feeling of falling. I still barley even realized this because of how close I was to sleep. Then as I was walking on the trail I tripped on something. Then in real life I actually felt my body trim and fall to the ground. This sent me back into full conciousness and I was of course still on my bed. The feeling was so real that for a second I truly thought I had fallen off my bed.

This is my wild attempt for the night. I did not become lucid. I woke up after 6 hours and 10 minutes. I vaguely remembered a dream when I woke up, but forgot it while I was using the bathroom. After that I got a sip of water and went up to my room to starts my wild. I started off by lying down on my side and just paying attention to my breathing. Within a few minuites I started to feel a numbing sensation cream pu from my fingers and toed to my entire hands and feet. Then after experiencing this for about 10 minuites I felt a few itches around my body. I ignored them and didn't move. Then the itches stopped and I was left with the numbing sensation for about 20 minuites. In that time nothing happened except for one hypnotic jerk. Eventually I just gave up and went to sleep.
