The Collaborator, The Telephone Rings, The Poker Game [FILD] 1st time

The Collaborator

I'm on a dark dirty street. It's like being in London a hundred years ago. I need to be very stealthy for some reason. I am making my way through the streets but I'm also going up. [PUR]

I'm not sure what I am hiding from or cautious of. But the definite feeling that I want to be unseen. So I am crouching in doorways and shadows.

I make my way into a big facility [RT: Big Site]  and it's old. There's more light than in the dark streets but everything is dirty. It's  some kind of workshop. It's a very large open space. I believe that this is the last structure I need to get through to get outside and to get to freedom. I am crouched behind a railing possibly a piece of glass and I see a person. I try to remain hidden but they see me.

It's a man, he comes up to me. He throws something to me and I sort of catch it but drop it. He's testing me and my near catch gets his attention. We agree in someway that I have a special talent but it has something to do with the future. With something that other people don't have or can't do. We decide to work together to develop this.

Notes:

I am waking up after a four hour [WBTB] effort. What I'm trying to do is implement the finger method [FILD]. I was not successful on my first attempt. It seems sort of close. There were a lot of problems. For example I need to have an auto shut off alarm app. I have one set for an hour from now. Hopefully I'll be able to go back to sleep and try again but not have to move when the alarm goes off. More to come.

The Telephone Rings

I am working at home. There is a group of people with me. I assume it's my family. Multiple things are going on. There's some discussion about the phone. Then the phone rings and interrupts what I am doing. I get very angry in the dream and tell everybody I don't care about the phone I probably swear. Then I wake up. As I wake up my actual cell phone is ringing. I forgot to put it on airplane mode.

The Poker Game

I am playing poker with a group of friends there's 4 of us. We're sitting closely together in a combination of couch and chairs. Between us is the top of a fairly large table. We're trying to figure out if we can adjust it perfectly on our laps so that we can play cards on the surface.  I think we're going to play poker. Then there's a thought but nothing happening that we're going to be playing strip poker. At least one of the guys is mature so I wonder do older people really even want to get naked? Another part of me thinks my wife is not here and what is she going to think when she comes in as a group of people playing strip poker. [RT; Fidelity]

Recurring Theme

Notes:

Well into week two of a 40 day intensive effort to more regularly have lucid dreams. Bollox. I had some difficulty with the alarm. I am using an app called Auto Clock. The big thing that is does is to ring and then turn itself off. The idea is to wake you up, but not make to move to shut it off. Tricky.  I failed to set it correctly, so it didn't go off. It takes a while to get this right.

I can't believe how pissed I was when I woke up with the dream/reality phone interruption.

The finger method is supposed to be "easy" but either it works or it doesn't.  I need to experiment more. Feels similar to The Phase, the technique on OBE4U.com.
