    Black: Non-dream
    Blue: Non-lucid
    Red: Lucid

    Note: There were a lot of friends that know, used to know, or haven't seen in a while. Through out all these dreams I seemed to see a whole bunch of them.

    Dream 1 - Bad Drivers (before 05 00 - birds started chirping about 30 minutes after I woke so it's a rough estimate).
    I am in my university, heading to field (the field is much larger, and has a dirt wall on the left) to meet someone. I remember that my old biol group is meeting too, and I don't want to meet them so I consider running up the side of the dirt wall to get past them. This train of thought is interrupted, as I'm walking I see a crowd of people and a truck just speeds towards them. I SWEAR this truck hit a person, but when is passed there was no one who was injured... I look off to the left and see a bus speeding towards me and the crowd! We all scatter to avoid it, I turn around heading towards a construction area where they're setting new pavement. I remember walking back knowing that the bus has passed, I seem to somehow be talking to a construction worker, I talk weirdly, as if I had a foreign accent... Haziness ensues until I'm walking down the ramp inside the cafeteria building (I remember that it seemed more club-esque style, black walls and dimmed lights etc). I am utterly shocked, because at the bottom of the ramp is my best friend D! He's looking at his phone, I haven't seen him for about a year so I just run towards him and bear hug him . He's apparently gay too, and I hug his boyfriend so he feels welcomed or something.

    Dream 2 - Lucid #3 (07 00ish)
    I'm in my high school walking along beside a bus (I used to bus back and forth from school). I see ahead of me my old friends, and M who I used to be really tight with but he moved away. I'm overwhelmed with the same happiness I had when I had seen D in the previous dream, I start running to tackle-hug him, but I stop. The feeling spurs a déjà vu effect, I realize instantly that I'm dreaming. I don't even do a reality check, I start to float and fly away (this has happened at the start of every lucid I've had). I stop myself, telling myself to stabilize the dream first, I'm rubbing my hands together but I can't really feel it. The same thing that happened in my last lucid happened again, I seemed to have my eyes closed, and I knew that once I open them I'd be awake. Bam. Ruined it again somehow.

    Note: Stoked to have my 3rd lucid, but I need to learn to make them last and make them stable.

    Dream 3 - Talking to friends (08 30)
    I seem to be walking the usual route I take to university, talking to J1 who I don't usually walk with. I tell him that I had my 3rd lucid dream last night, he is impressed and then another friend walks past and asks us what we're talking about. I tell J1 not to say anything, I feel embarrassed about sharing it now (this is probably related to when some people walked in as I was showing J1 some poetry junk I was working on). I see J2 and I'm happy to see him (he used to get bullied and I used to stick up for him in high school), we start talking and I tell him we should go meet with J1 who's standing on the bridge looking into the river (still in the uni, this is all pretty accurately place for the dream world).

      Congratulations on the lucid! I especially like how it was brought on by this amazing surge of positive emotion.

      Strong positive emotions are a fantastic dreamsign! The lucids that follow on from them are very likely to retain those happy feelings as you continue on through them.

      Keep up the great work!

      I should probably have realized it before but I never thought of emotions being a dream sign I'll have to pay attention to my future dreams and see if I notice any feelings or emotions thanks Canis!

      Yeah, emotions make for a great dreamsign! This works for negative emotions as well. In non-lucid dreams, you'll often find yourself becoming much angrier or upset than you ever would in waking life.

      Keeping an eye out for this dreamsign is also IMO a healthy waking life habit. Taking just a moment to stop and examine negative emotions before they take hold of you is often enough to cut off a potential negative cascade of emotions.

      Good luck and you are very welcome! Looking forward to seeing how you do!
