I awoke in my bed and the sky outside was dark in shades of blue and red. There was a thunderstorm going on outside and streams of water were coming in through the two open windows and hitting the carpet and my bed, so I got up to close the windows.

I awoke again in my bed. The sky outside was now light and the weather was calm. This is how it was supposed to be. This is how it already was when I woke (for real) earlier. How could I have missed the signs? (I'm not sure if I woke for real or just dreamed this part)

Just as I was about to fall asleep again, I opened my eyes and saw the familiar dark blue and red sky. The weather was calm this time, but I knew the morning sun was already up in real life, so this had to be a dream.

I got up. My brother and three friends were staying with me (note: this wasn't actually happening in real life, but I believed it in the dream). The layout of my apartment was different to real life; there were a couple of extra bathrooms and the spare bedrooms were in different places.

I opened the door to the room where my friends were sleeping and shouted for them to wake up to have the opportunity to experience the lucid dream. They seemed very realistically annoyed at being woken up so early and I began to question whether I was really dreaming, as it seemed to be based on my assumption more than any actual evidence.

So I got up and went to the living room, and my friends got up to see what was going on. I jumped and did a backflip, then suspended myself upside down in mid-air just to prove to myself that I was dreaming. One of my friends was watching; it seemed to take him a moment to acknowledge this as unusual, but once he did, he became excited about being inside a dream.

Shortly after this, I woke up for real.
