The Shaggy Dog [NL] [S: DreamLeaf, double dose] (Day 5 of 40)

12:20 PM

I am in an airport. I am with my wife possibly other members of my family. I am sitting on the floor. It is a very wide open expanse of linoleum. My wife is looking at an information board. She is scrolling through or in someway looking at a lot of detailed information. She makes the comment "I do not want to spend my whole vacation looking at logos."

I'm sitting next to and petting a very large dark brown/red shaggy dog. Like the size of a sheepdog. It's very friendly it's long fur/hair covers its eyes.

I spend a lot of time examining, petting and looking at this dog in very great detail. At some point another woman, I believe she is a African-American comes up with her dog which is the same breed.

(It is possible that this happened after I woke up and went back to sleep I'm not sure)


We talk briefly. I look at her dog. It is obviously the same breed slightly smaller slightly different. I wake up.

Notes:

I got to sleep at 5:30am. I took two (double dose) of the blue DreamLeaf pills, then two red ones when I woke up again at 9:30. No noticeable effect, certainly not lucid. I think this is the third time I have taken a doubled dose, without spectacular results (the bar set by Lucidimine). I have taken the regular dose (1 blue pill than 1 red pill 4 hours later) several other times. I am keeping an open mind, because I just reviewed an older dream entry (The Transition: In Six Parts, August 17th) and it was a Big Dream. I had taken DreamLeaf. Maybe it doesn't kick me into lucidity, but definitively punches things up.

I'm feeling under pressure about this project,the 40 day dream thing. I didn't wake up until afternoon. That's because I didn't go to sleep till 530 in the morning because I was working on the transcript of the book, Prelude to a Dream. That is obviously in direct conflict with one of the main goals which is to regulate your sleeping patterns. "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." Does that work for women?

I'm also thinking I need to put small pieces of what's going on in the world, like Donald Trump or something, into the daily logs to give it a feeling of being real time. . It's like kidnappers taking a picture of the victim with the daily paper.
