Practice makes perfect

What a beautiful stream to wake up to. So much poetry, in words and images. 4AM, the holy hour. 3 nightmares (rare for me) and all 3 easily dissolved through past lucid dream practices and meditation. I just pulled myself out of the dreams. As Sofia said yesterday, "meditation is a head replacement." The 2nd dream involving a dog! Who wouldn't leave me alone in Central Park (probably just wanted to play.) the 3rd one I was reading Pynchon and all twisted up in the language, trapped. Pulled myself out of that one, but needed extra help so dropped into grounding mantra. Such a useful tool. And then looked at my phone and saw all this!
