In both cases something happened in the dream which made me instantly realise I was dreaming. (Didn't do reality checks....didn't even think to do them, which isn't so good).

Fridays dream I waw became lucid in a giant bar. I had a good look around but it was a bit boring. I decided I wanted to visit a holiday resort I'd been to recently. I decided there would be a magic door around the corner which would 'port me there. I walked around the corner. I saw someone going into another door but knew it wasn't mines. I found a santas grotto.
I asked one of santas helpers where my door was. He pointed to one.
Then I woke up. Hmmmmm....I wonder if it would have worked.


This mornings dream was much longer. I became lucid in a big house. I explored it. Decided I wanted to mirror 'port to the moon and look back on the earth. Found a mirror in which I could call up visions of anyone I wanted.
I stepped into the mirror, but it was all just grey smoosh.
Backed out into the room and then woke up.


Nothing ground breaking, but It was pretty cool to become lucid.
Before I did this morning I have a very long crazy dream. I remembered a lot of it. So my recall seems to be getting better too.
