Nights 5 and 6 earned me zero points. No dream recall; no anything. On one of these days (cannot remember which), I experienced a very short WILD during a nap. It lasted about 3 minutes. During the dream, I tried to achieve my second competition goal of figure drawing (practicing a real life skill). While I was able to make a sketchbook appear, it was harder to make a model show up, and I tried to start sketching but I think I woke myself up. At any rate. I am not going to count it this time, because I know that I can do better than that. I do not think it quite counts since I did not really finish practicing the skill, like I did not even finish a gesture drawing or anything. Night 7: Non-Lucid Dream Fragment 1: This was from my hypnagogic imagery. It is always hard for me to wake up during those and write them down, because my body is in the process of falling asleep and does not want to stop! However, in this one, I was walking to a castle, with <PERSON>. Non-Lucid Dream Fragment 2: I was visiting an aquarium at a college. I believe it was either a) one I had previously visited IRL, or b) one that I thought I had visited IRL in the dream, but had not actually done so. There was a whale, and I cannot read the rest of my notes. -_- Non-Lucid Fragment 3: I was at a different version of my grandma's house, and a former uncle of mine was there. He either farted or fainted -- it is hard to read my handwriting dang it xD I think it was actually farted. And he was putting away some stuff in storage. The dream faded to a store/shop of some sort. Night 8: Non-Lucid Dream Fragment 4: There was a Pokemon, a spider and something else that I wanted but that also creeped me out. Someone or something got lured into a corner. Non-Lucid Dream Fragment 5: Theme park, roller coaster, talking with others at the stheme park. Non-Lucid Dream Fragment 6: I was making love to an older (middle-aged?) woman. She was very pretty, and it was all in all a very pleasant experience, but I remember wishing that she could somehow be <PERSON>, my tulpa, so I would not feel so guilty about what I was doing. Non-Lucid Dream Fragment 7: This one may gross you out. Just a fair warning haha. I fell in love with a lizard that was sticky and slimy. I need to stop spending so much time on DeviantART. It is dirtying up my subconscious mind. xD Non-Lucid Dream Fragment 8: A group of shiny people were running away from something. Metallic shiny, I think? But I was "pinned down and safe." Nope, no idea what that meant. It made sense to me at the time of writing, obviously. Again, too much time on DeviantART. <PERSON>: Non-Lucid Full Dream: I was still a missionary (did it a few years back). It was our day off, and I was on the computer...watching a live dog??? Ah, I still cannot read that line! Another missionary was online chatting (face to face!) with <PERSON> from Owl City, and I started chatting too! <PERSON> looked a lot younger, though, and he had a security guard with him. For whatever reason, he was in a rush, so he could not chat for long. But he was also very kind, as I would expect him to be. Night 9: Got nothing. I could have at least written down some hypnagogic stuff, but I was too exhausted. It is been a difficult start to the new semester, and I have not been sleeping enough. Total: 1 WILD, 8 non-lucid fragments, 1 full non-lucid.
