lucidity - at last

for those who know of my personal quest for lucid dreams they will be familiar with my endless scribblings of the previous nights adventures. this has finally (after a long three months) paid off, and it was a pretty surreal experience.

after getting loads of long, vivid dreams at the start of the year i decided to nuture it. this continued the phase and i continued to get more lengthy and fun adventures. i've got pages and pages of bullet-points from different nights, some of which had up to 7 dreams in them! each page unlocks a strong memory of a situation or feeling, it's quite nice too have all these interesting little things that can be easily accessed.

anyway, to the actual dream in question baby. was quite strange that i hadn't been that strict or precise with my dream recall recently and hadn't been really writing anything down. so it was basically out of the blue, which i suppose is relatively cool (you can judge that). but i did go to sleep very late, around 5am, which may have had an impact. for any of you who care this lucid dream occured on saturday 28th march.

but yeah, the dream, i'll cut out the beginning for times sake. me and some mates were bmxing round the back of some big concrete building and a security guard came up to us and accused us of having drugs on us. i just flipped out and chased him while shouting and managed to take him down. then went on to punch him in the face and the people i was with caught up with me. i asked them to get my jacket from where we were before but they arrived back with my blue and orange mishka crew, but i was wearing it already! so there were two of the same jumper. this made me realise, within the dream, that i was in a dream. it then also sprung to mind that i could now control it as it had become lucid. we walked down the path we were on and i could feel myself starting to wake up, but i didn't, and i stayed in the dream, which was now lucid.

i don't want to go into the specifics because for all i know a young child could be reading this. but let's just say it was fun but only last a few seconds, it then reverted to a normal dream, even though i was aware it was a dream, i was not in control. was stuck on some gardening website and needed to get off of it to find inspiration for more lucid adventures but i couldn't control it to get off of the website. so i guess this means the ending wasn't lucid, even though i was aware it was a dream.

hopefully more to come!
