I'm going to be so sad when cherry season is over.

Lol, I love humans.

I had another lucid dream last night. The fact that this is medication induced is wild to me.

But I got to hug my late grandmother and tell her that I miss her.

So I figure some of you are curious what I'm taking and I don't mind sharing, because I find this fascinating. I'm taking amitriptyline. It's a tricyclic antidepressant, but I'm taking it to calm bladder spasms.

It's documented that it can cause vivid dreams and nightmares, but googling it doesn't return much info about lucid dreaming, but this medication is absolutely the cause of that change for me. There's nothing else I can attribute it to.

I've always been a vivid dreamer anyway, and I'm not really prone to nightmares.

I used to practice some of the techniques to induce lucid dreams (mainly W.I.L.D.) and had some success, but I've never experienced them with this frequency.

Honestly. I love it. It's super fascinating to me. I perform experiments in my lucid dreams. Right now one of my favorite ones is to ask the other people in my dreams what their names are. Rarely do I get an answer.

I'm not a medical professional, so I'm definitely not recommending this for someone wanting to experiment with lucid dreaming. You might be one of the unfortunate folks who ends up with nightmares, and of course you need to be careful about changing your brain chemistry.

If you happen to be in the OKC area, I would love for you to come see my work!

My life is abundant in so many ways, but I think the true measure of my wealth is that I really like being myself.

I had my second brunch with a new friend today. We ate at a café in the Paseo Arts District and then walked around and went through the shops and galleries in the area.

We're going to take a metalsmithing class together sometime this fall.

I have another Bumble BFF coffee date next weekend.

Oh, and there's another pool party next weekend too.

My social calendar has just exploded.
