Best dream control so far last night!

REM rebound + SSILD + WBTB + FILD + menthol

As usual, my attempts at stabilization (by looking at my hand) only made things less stable, but this time I gave up before the dream collapsed. I'm wondering if I'm stabilizing wrong. Perhaps I'm focusing too hard and getting pulled out of the dream?

Next time I really want to remember to verbally ask for stability, and perhaps I'll try a less intense stabilization ritual.
