Had a good time at the charleniehead and cyruska's last night. Good news: The boiler is finally fixed it would seem. I now have the room. A interviewing we go, a interviewing we go, hi ho the derry-o. I was at some convention-style place. John Kerry was there dressed in a penguin suit. You can blame Livejournal's email servers as to why there have been few updates. So I read a website on lucid dreaming and it said to look for "dreamsigns", things that ocurr often in your dreams. I found two things that ocurred twice each: people from Tae Kwon Do, and cats. Friday, I attempted a standard transmission. Thank you very much faboo! It is official: shoujo_mallet's mom has caught on to the going out. Yay for not planning at all! For once, the Mechatronics HW makes some modicum of sense. I have decided to take on the challenge of writing more stuff in e-prime.

Have you had much success with lucid dreaming? I've been curious about the process for some time, ever since reading some Carlos Castaneda books back when I was in high school, but I've rarely had much focus in dreams... nor the ability to remember them long. I do seem to have some ability to influence dreams, at least as far as I can have what appear to be conscious thoughts that allow me to influence the goings on or my own actions, or sometimes to seem to slip back into the same dream from a state of semi-wakefulness, but I'm not really sure that these qualify or that I'm even 'on track', so to speak. From my reading I got the impression that the trick was to observe specific bits of your surroundings - your own hands, for example - and from there one could begin to freely explore and manipulate the dreamscape... I'm not sure how much weight that really bears, though. What are your thoughts/insights on the matter or where I could find any useful info?
