Screaming or howling

Date: 3/23/2014 (Sat) Total sleep: 7 hours? Daytime Techniques: RCs (Text), visualization, Mantra Lucid Techniques: Mantra, visualization Recall Techniques: Mantra Fell Asleep: Sometime after 1 am Dream 1 Title: Ghost pinches my butt Dream 1: (Brief - I believe this was actually Hypnagogia) I am sitting on my couch in my living room. Everything looks exactly the same as reality. I am watching some random nature show. Out of habit I look down at the digital clock on the face of the cable box. There are no numbers. I know something is not right. I stand up and suddenly the power goes out (all the lights and the TV). I am standing in complete darkness when I feel a very strong hand pinch my left buttocks! At the same time I hear a deafening loud woman's scream! I startle awake. (See notes below) Dream 2 Title: Random Fragments Dream 2: (See notes below) (1) I am on an island. I am standing on a rocky hill top, with long grass growing from between the rocks. It is a cloudy and slightly foggy day. I can see the ocean from where I am standing. (2) I am asking someone "Is she corporate?" I feel nervous because I feel like she has been sent from corporate to spy on us. Vividness: (scale of 1-15, 10 is waking life vividness) D1 = 8; D2 = 3; Awareness: (1-10; or lucid) D1 = 9; D2 = 3; Length: (how long it felt like! Because that matters) D1 = 1 min; D2 = 30 sec Emotions: Confusion, Fear, Peaceful, Annoyance Dream Signs: Could not see text, sudden power failure, being somewhere I do not recognize. Notes: I took only B-5 and Chorine last night. My wife and I went out with friends to see a live band last night (when we left I had a strong ringing in my ears which could explain the woman's scream in dream 1). But my wife was coming down with an illness and we left at 10:30 pm. When we got home she was feeling horrible and could not sleep. I had to drive to the 24 hour pharmacy twice. This kept me awake until after 1 am (I stopped looking at the clock at that time). On a good note: I am working very hard to develop a strong habit of searching for text (with my eyes) everywhere I go. When I see it I; look, look away and will it to change, look back. There is text everywhere in my life. So far it is an extremely rare occasion where I cannot see some kind of text (numbers or words). Last night I started with a new mantra: "When I am dreaming tonight I will seek out text, when I see it I will know I am dreaming."
