Polyphasic Sleep: Day 23
I believe I have acclimatised to everyman schedule. Yesterday, I had my first Lucid Dream and it was a brilliant experience. Before during my adaptation, I had phases where I knew I was dreaming and I knew my muscles were not exactly obeying my orders (REM atonia) but nothing was as lucid as yesterday. In my dream, I was trying to chase something. I think I was somewhere in the middle-east (probably the effect of playing Assassin’s Creed) and I could direct myself through streets. I don’t know why the streets were empty or what I was chasing. But that’s fine because, I always have weird dreams. The important point though is that I was able to control my actions.
I would classify this as dream-initiated lucid dream as the wikipedia articles says. Also, I can still recall bits of my dream even now. During the monophasic days, the early morning dreams (or technically, REM dreams) I could only remember for a few hours after waking up, they seemed to fade away with every moment. This one’s different.
After reading through, I think I am going to keep a dream journal for sometime and judge my bizzare dreams.

That’s a wonderful experience.
A dream journal is also a great idea as, over time, it allows you to remember more and more of your dreams. Also, as you remember more and more, you have an easier time recognizing when you’re actually dreaming.
Also, you’re a small hop away from Astral Projecting.
