always-there

I've been interested in lucid dreaming for a while but have not ever been successful. I looked through your guide and this passage stood out to me:

"You’ve had a notebook sitting by your head for 3 weeks and you still can’t recall a single dream."

3 weeks doesn't begin to cover it. I can't remember having a dream in 30 years! I have tried the notebook thing. I've tried repeating mantras to remember as I go to sleep. I've tried hypnosis. Nothing works. My unconscious mind is a black hole. Any advice?

I'd sure like to watch Our America but the OWN network is not available in my area. Any alternatives to piracy out there? I'd sure like to see your shows on Netflix.

Let's say I'm in Hillsboro when the big one hits and I have to get to loved ones in Vancouver. Many roads and bridges are impassible. Which ones are a foregone conclusion that they will fall? What areas should I avoid in trying to travel across a disaster area. any recommendations on a navigation strategy?

I drop to sleep within minutes of laying down. The next thing I know I'm awake, alert, the sun is up and there's a total gap of anything that happened since laying down. I've slept through earthquakes only to find out the next day.

I bought some Bluetooth headphones made for sleeping with to try. I lay down listening to a playlist of binaural beats, or hypnosis. I can remember the first few minutes as I lay there falling to sleep. Then I wake up and the playlist is complete. There's just nothing there to remember in-between.

My house is in an area where liquifaction is shown as high risk. It's along an Oregon river on the edge of the food plain. Can anything be done on a budget to reduce the chance of major structural damage or sinking into the earth during an earthquake?
