Slept 7.5 hours last night. I have been lacking sufficient REM sleep lately, having not slept enough for the majority of the week, and I think that is why I started dreaming and woke up about 30 minutes later, then fell back asleep with no recollection of dreams for the rest of the night. Weird how that works -- I will have to do some more research. The one dream I remember was from that 30 minute period shortly after going to bed. I was at home home, as in my parent's house, which I only go to during breaks from college nowadays. There were spiders all over the place. I am freaking terrified of spiders. D: The other weird thing in this dream was that my dad was nervous just like I was, when in the waking world he tells me to stop being so scared of things like that. Yet that was not enough to clue me in to lucidity. But it was close. Ish. I need a new reality check. Checking my watch has not worked in years, and attempting to fly worked a few times, but it simply has not occurred to me during a dream. And I am not doing the trying to breathe with your nose plugged thing, because the idea of not being able to breathe scares me. o.o Maybe I will try the one where you push your finger through your hand. We will see.
