my 2nd LD after much alcohol-Tom Cruise? WTF?

[elsoñador]

Hey everyone...so i was becoming discouraged about LDing and dream recall, so i put my dream journal away for a week and decided id come back to it later...until last night.. i'll only include the important parts! I drank a half bottle of wine and a shit load of whiskey, so i was feeling rather occified. i only weigh 150, so i'm a major lightweight, this is normally too much for me too drink. i went to bed around 5 a.m. and had a dream where i was drunk driving in a big city, (cinncinatti maybe?-and which i don't condone drunk driving mind you) and i deliberately ran a red light, a cop pulled me over and i attempted to play dumb, i said outloud before the cop approached "officer i have no idea why i decided to run that light." and then i noticed the cop was goddamn Tom Cruise...he said "well i'll tell you why you ran it, step out of the car you crazy asshole." so i obeyed and followed tom to the rear of my car, regardless i knew something was just not right about this experience....i didn't find out what tom/cop was refferring to but i noticed that i was driving a car that i had totalled about a month ago...i said, "wait officer, this isn't my car, and you are fucking tom cruise, this can't be real" ...and then for some reason i felt compelled to punch Tom in the face and fly off... tom screamed at me "this is real you fool! and your under arrest for assaulting an officer!" I woke up smiling.......... so alcohol defenitly worked for me (christ look at my speling hear, i think i'm still drunk)... for some reason i have reoccuring dreams about Tom Cruise. I believe its b/c vanilla sky was such a badass lucid dream movie, and it ignited my interest in LDing, so naturally its a dream sign to see tom, (but a damn good actor) and also i was shocked that i recognized my old car in my dreams...usually if i notice something strange in a dream, it doesn't even register, but for some reason, i attribute this experience to señor alcohol here's my question....this experience wasn't as vivid as my first LD (which was so vivid it scared the hell out of me) i want to experience FULL CONSCIOUSNESS while in a dream, can i go about this by utilizing the "spinning technique?" what are some other suggestions? Thanks people.
