It is over a month since I had 2 lucid events (not great events but something nevertheless) The weather has generally stayed moist and grey but it is far grimmer up North so I am not complaining. I have recorded 15 dreams since then, none lucid and three reasonably long and vivid (but nothing to really shout about) A couple were negative (I get one or two now and then) A few I could relate to something I would done or watched, the rest were mainly just a mish-mash of obscure events. I am good though...generally the results are the same whether I self-condition or not...maybe the basics are now well-ingrained and other influences (as yet not detected) make the difference. Every day...some time between 16.00 to 17.00 I retire to my bedroom, sit upright by the bed in very subdued light and with <PERSON> "Submergence" playing very softly in the background I meditate for about 40 minutes. I use the music because it is drone-music, always the same tune and therefore not a distraction. I think I eventually drift towards sleep...not too close because I "snort" like a pig when I am slipping into sleep or start to fall sideways and neither of those happen. Maybe I am in deep meditation ...personally I think I am maybe moving into hypnagogia (although I do not ever get a "start"). Wherever I am it is useful...once a saw a flash of a vision of a person...too quick to identify...today I say what looked like a very clear <PERSON> video of a house frontage in a suburban setting It was as if I was watching from a passing car (although it never actually went out of vision??) It was so vivid I thought for a second I was watching on a pc, with my eyes open. Dark room, eyes shut, no pc. I realised that I was not and I was a bit confused. Was a dream building and I merely needed to slip into it? I felt too awake to do that but I tried to relax and the image gradually faded. A hypnagogic vision? It was very clear and seemingly moving. I cannot normally think of an object and visualise that object clearly with my eyes shut...maybe few people can... But I try to visualise a wire-frame square...no go...except I have discovered I can sometimes do that during meditation... also I can infill with colour...and several times now a rectangle with various shapes inside pops into vision...where does that come from? So...something different again...and that is what keeps the dream alive for me... Still planning for an expected trip with my new mate Psi, sometime in the Autumn...
I was laying in bed and I could not fall asleep. Then finally I got relaxed and I felt I guess what is known as the roll over signal. I decided to roll over and see if I would enter SP fast.…

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…

Non-lucid, Lucid I woke up just now at around 5:38 AM. Before that, I was sleeping with my back on the bed, and I was thinking of a few images. Then one came by really quick, like it was goi…
