Not much sleep last night either, but a few interesting dreams. And finally some nap recall.

but on a lighter note......nice one on the WILD's man wish I knew your secret lol

Oh do you mind if I borrow your idea for the monthly summery?

Yeah, that bridge was pretty freaky. I've gone across it so many times myself. And my sister and my nephew went across it the day before it fell.
A lady I work with, has a friend that had just crossed it and it fell behind her.

I haven't really heard much about it for a while. I don't watch regular TV to much. Only DVDs. But yeah, I heard there were bridges all over the country that are being looked at now.

Go ahead and use the summery. I think keeping track of your progress is a good thing to do. And goal setting is also. I'm going to do it for the year as well as the month.

I guess part of my little wild secret, is that I have a little bit of insomnia. So I don't fall asleep to fast. And, I have to absolutely clear and focus my mind in order to fall asleep at all. Sometimes I can be completely exhausted. And if I let my mind keep wandering I still won't fall asleep. But after I've been asleep a while I don't have a problem with waking up and falling back to sleep. At least most of the time that is.

Strange work dream
I was at work and I was the only one there. But, I was a multi personality consciousness. The consciousness of all the other people I work with, was a part of my own. And we were doing every job as a single being somehow.

I think, I was having one of The Cusp's dreams.

Some fragments
I'm in a wide open empty parking lot of some shopping center. The black top is really smooth, and I'm thinking about how much fun it would be to go roller blading here.
then I'm looking all over for my dog. I can't see her anywhere, and I'm starting to get pretty worried thinking I lost her. But then I see her off in the distance sniffing around some grass and trees. I go to retrieve her.

Then I'm at the cabin again. One of my moms friends shows up there, and we are having a conversation about something. I can't remember exactly what it was about.
Something about going somewhere and doing something.

Some nap recall
I remember hiding in some room and smoking a big joint.
Then, I'm not sure if this was a part of the same dream. But I was with some people in a house. we were hiding upstairs for some reason. something weird was going on.
We went downstairs and I remember there was something dangerous about going downstairs. There was a little bit of fear involved. But at this point I can't remember what the threat was.

But then, I remember standing in the doorway of the house looking outside. I need to get to the store to by some cigarettes. But I'm afraid to go outside. There is something odd going on with all the deer in the world. they have gone crazy, and they are trying to kill any humans they see. I can see a shopping center a ways off, and I'm contemplating the risks of making a run for the store.(Just got to have those cigarettes lol.) I have a pair of binoculars, and I'm trying to scan the area for any deer. But when I look through the binoculars the image seems different. I keep taking them away from my face and looking with my eyes. I'm trying to reconcile what I see with my eyes, and what I see with the binoculars. I finally decide that it just looks different because of the magnification. Thats all I really remember about it.

I think playing with binoculars could be an interesting Lucid Task.
Or, maybe even a telescope.

There was stuff about Lucid Dreaming as well, that was just on the edge of my memory.


A random thought

I want a T shirt or bumper sticker that says, "I'd rather be Lucid Dreaming"
And even better, if they were Dream Views Forum designed!

Sounds like you were assimilated by the Borg to me!

Roller blading, your dog, your cabin, smoking...sounds like you were getting all kinds of signals to RC...

You know that idea has gone around before (T-shirts, bumperstickers, etc.)--but I don't think anyone said it exactly that way--that's great, a classic bumper sticker!

We should do that.

P.S. I dont' know about the DV part tho, since this is owned by somebody now.

Yeah, bumper stickers would be great!

Your right about the signals, I feel like I've been in a dry spell because of focusing so hard and not getting to far. but getting closer I think. It always happens like that with me. It will feel like it's impossible to get Lucid. but once I get enough energy built up for it. I'll get a bunch of them all of a sudden.

It would be nice, if another monster would chase me down and throw me into the sky again. It would help if I actually sleep sometime maybe. lol
I haven't slept much more than 8 hours total in the last two days. And that's just in a series of short naps. I plan to sleep in and get some REM rebound tonight.

man I wish I was as good as you at the wilds!

love the star trek dream! it must have been great to be lucid on the bridge! and man it would have been great to introduce yourself as Q lol

To bad I can't turn those WILD's into true Lucids! I've been thinking, maybe if I change my attitude towards them, And give them more significance. Maybe with a bit of motivated work I could possibly get better at prolonging them. It's worth a shot anyway. A good goal for next year.

That star trek wild was interesting. it was weird how I stretched through the blackness that way. That's something that never happened before.

Yeah, I loved episodes with the Q. And that was a pretty freaky dream. Freddie could take a few lessons from the Q!

I've read some of the new badges thread, pretty cool idea! Makes me wish I knew more about computers. This is my first computer and I haven't had it that long. Or really tried doing much with it.

A lot of recall but nothing really exciting to write about. There was one about being held prisoner by some psycho family. But I don't remember it well enough to write in good detail.

New apartment
Nearly Lucid in this one.

Was moving into this awsome new apartment. It had many rooms, it was huge.
I spent a lot of time exploring the place. It was actually a pretty cool dream.(Not sure why I always dream about moving into new places. It definitely has some symbolic meaning. I'm starting to think it has something to do with a change in my state of mind. And the tunnel in the ceiling I always find, that leads to adventures.)

In one of the rooms, there is a closet. In the ceiling of the closet, I see there is a square cover to an opening. Right away, I recognize it as being from a recurring dream. I am excited about climbing up there and seeing where it leads. And I tell myself, that when I
climb up there I will do a reality check. because I know the place from a dream. I didn't climb up there right then because there was stuff going on. and I was going to wait for a better time to explore it.(Not sure why I didn't just do a reality check right then. It's not like it takes any effort to reach up and plug your nose.)

I never got around to going up there. because I woke up before I got the chance.

There was a lot of smoking dreams! Not sure why that's been coming up so much lately

Todays WILD attempt
I decided to focus on hearing before the visual.

At first, I here my sister ask me if I took her bicycle.
Then I hear a dog barking outside to come in. I open my eyes to see if there really is a dog. I get up and look outside. a family members dog is out there and wants to come in. I think it's strange, I hear a dog in my mind, and then there really is one. Then I wake up! I opened my eyes into a dream! That never happened to me before. I think I remember Clairity talking about doing that though.

There was a few other ones, but that one was the most interesting.
I tried a couple early morning ones but fell asleep to fast. the one from above was during nap time.
