Well, guess the topic I'll dish out for today is lucid dreaming. You know it's weird, I know it's weird, but when you yank out the bizarre mystical balderdash that sometimes sneaks in, it's sort of cool. I'm going to try to report a little here on how I'm doing with it, because I hear that you can improve your chances at having one if you have some accountability. So, here goes:

Haven't had a full one yet, only one partial WILD (wake-initiated lucid dream) where I sort of lost it after a few seconds. Milk seems to help, but it has to be a WHOLE lot, like 3 glasses at lunch and at dinner. I think mainly it's just the placebo effect, but it seems to help me remember dreams. That, and of course, keeping a journal. I thought that this would be a pain, but it's not that bad when I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night anyway because I drank so much milk! I just fill it in by the nightlight and it doesn't disturb my sleep too much. In fact, I remember my dreams better when they come after waking up (the WBTB or wake-back-to-bed) technique.

I do have to remember my REALITY CHECKS though. These things make so much sense if you remember to do them! ::counts fingers to make sure there's 5:: This, I think, is why I have the strangest experiences yet it never strikes me "Hey, idiot. You're dreaming!!" (haha random <Myst KI Exile spoiler alert!!> Saavedro use of second person).

That's all you'll get from me today. Kindly remind me to do RC's, and I'll remind you, 'k?
