Dream diary update. My dreaming has been extremely fitful lately. I have to wake up too often since I am training for a new job working graveyard shift. I mostly have these short lucid dreams, since my waking world imperatives usually force me to rouse myself quickly. Dreaming either off or on-the-job is not a priority.
Nevertheless I do occasionally reach deep sleep long enough to do REM and dreams. So I will adopt a different method of reporting them here. My family chat log. Here are excerpts from last night. FYI I am still dreaming about the lost cat. I love the little guy. My naturalist nephew 'Tom' is a night owl and another big cat lover so he responded. Sorry about the typos but they are supposed to be common in dreams, No? ;)

[04:41:59] [Tom - 25.188.56.89 / 2620:9b::19bc:3859]
Although you might actually be right in keeping lil Swirly inside
[04:42:10] [Tom - 25.188.56.89 / 2620:9b::19bc:3859]
She's not as outdoorsy as the boys anyway I don't think
[06:09:22]
I woke up when gma called me
[06:10:14]
I was telling gma how sad and worried I am about Sticky and Swirly heard and jumped up on me until I calmed down
[06:10:36]

[06:29:56]
I let Oza and Swirly out
[06:30:18]
they wanted to watch the sun rise while they hunt
[06:30:35]
Swirly is a little wild child
[06:51:21]
Swirly popped the door to come back in
[06:51:36]
she leaped right on top of me lol
[06:51:46]
she is a wild child

[07:47:23]
Oza just came back in
[07:47:51]
Its funny cuz I woke up from a dream to do it
[07:48:04]
I guess that is lucid dreaming
[07:49:06]
A dream character who I was on a video game tournament team with told me how bad I am at video games
[07:50:02]
I laughed and said that I prefer to have low scores because when my vg scores go up it stops being fun and my mood gets really bad
[07:50:13]
then I woke up
[07:50:30]
Oza was scratching the door
[08:10:09]
I almost forgot to mention it but the librarian said a tree fell on a cat during the polar vortex
[08:10:28]
she said it was really sad
[08:10:46]
it wasnt Sticky but it makes you think
[08:11:06]
I remember a lot of branches falling over the past year
[08:11:44]
I still think he is with a nice lady getting a bowl of warm milk right now
[08:12:38] [Tom - 25.188.56.89 / 2620:9b::19bc:3859]

RIP
{chat postscript: I also dreamed about a nonexistent girl. She isn't mentioned in the chat. My dream girl is BBB = blonde, buxom, and beautiful (also dressed in blue). She was also part of the video game team and she heard the young guy snark me but she still gave me a warm smile as I walked past her embarrassedly on my way to the "Wake Up Chamber"}
