1. I see a brown leather couch begin to appear in my hypnagogic imagery. I try to slowly phase into the scene. I am snapped back to WL after a short while, then refocus my awareness. I relax, and the couch appears and becomes ever more vivid. I think to some dream yoga techniques, and go to reach out a phantom limb to attempt touching the couch and engaging tactile sense. I slightly feel an arm come out and begin to rub the couch and feel the texture with my dream hand. The scene becomes a bit more clear and I am able to slowly slip into the dream scene and become immersed in my dream body. I make it onto the couch, feeling it, then turn around and recline a bit on it. As I sit down my lucidity slowly slips, and transition to a non-lucid shortly after. 2. I am walking down the walkway in the front of a house, which slightly resembles my grandparents' old house. I see thin metal black railings trailing on either side of the walkway as I descend the stairs.As I descened, I suddenly realize I am dreaming and bring my right hand out, saying "I am lucid". I stare at the hand a bit longer to build up clarity. I continue my way down the walkway and decide that I am going to stay busy and active in this lucid to see how it affects length and stability. I bring my hands out and stare intently, verbally reminding myself I am lucid and shouting for clarity. I continue walking down to where the black driveway is at the end of the walkway. Three different types of pickup trucks are parked in the driveway. I recall the three goals I set before bed of exploration, eating some dark chocolate squares, and teleporting to a dream sanctuary. I make my way to the first pickup, open the passenger door, and climb in. I enter the glove compartment and begin to try to manifest to some dark chocolate to see how it affects the dream/stability. I unnzip a few compartment of a camera case, but nothing comes out except the large camera in the main compartment. I look into the screen and see a faded image of a female face with closed eyes laying down. I turn around and climb into the back seat seeing if I can manifest a dream character my stating verbal intent before hand. The seats are empty, but I continue to climb back then exit. I continue on to the next pickup, and see the next sitting behind. I try to verbally prep another DC to be in this pickup, but it is empty as well. I reason that I can drive the pickup a bit, but I figure I will just fly instead! I turn away and fly low to the ground down the driveway. I consider teleporting through a part of the pickup, but decide against it. I float toward the road, eventually land and walk a bit, exploring. i soon wake up.

One notable thing about this dream was that I had it very close to the beginning of my sleep. <PERSON>'s MIT article gave me the idea to do a really determined MILD before bed and it certain
