The experiment involved participants utilizing specialized equipment including sensors and earbuds. On September 24, one participant sleeping at home induced lucid dreaming, a state in which you are aware that you are dreaming.

    Record it in the present tense
    Put it into a permanent form

You want to specifically check things that tend to be vulnerable to dream logic like clocks or books because they’ll often change if you look away and check / read them a second time.
