I slept last night for about 3 hours. I awoke with the feeling that I was staring at a blinking cursor under the word ‘READY’ – like I was waking up at exactly the right moment. I had one problem-dream, involving moving cars about in a parking garage. It had not progressed to the nightmare stage when I exited it.

Lucid dreaming is still beyond me, but I do have certain new capabilities, like the ability to find the exit in dreams. It does seem that I think less circuitously and more directly when I get more sleep.
