Well I took a large amount last night prior to sleep with some muscle recovery items, and a meal replacement shake. I took more than I usually do. Probably over a gram. I just poured a dollop of it into my shake and stirred it up. I also took melatonin to help me sleep. I usually have trouble sleeping on Sunday nights.

What started was my standard Sunday night of expecting to be up on all night. After a few hours, however, I went straight into REM without being so deep into sleep. I had a series of erratic and vivid dreams. There were some hints of lucidity and control, but it was so crazy that I could not calm things down.

I still consider this a form of progress because I've been working on self hypnosis more than lucid dreaming lately. I plan to use Self Hypnosis to help with lucid dreaming, but right now I'm working on other ways of bettering myself.

It seems that at least for me, there is some happy medium with Kirkii. If I take too little, then there is no effect. If I take a large amount, then I have effects, but my dreams get too nuts for me to stop and really control them. Either way, if I take the right amount I tend to have a restful night of sleep, and this was no different. I am much more spry today than on the usual mundane Mondays.
