Strange dream, why no lucid?
So last night I had a dream that has renewed my interest in LDing and dreaming in general. I dreamt I was in a jail. The strange part was I had all of the things everyone does. My dog was with me, my guitar was with me, phone was with me, and I was able to walk around outside. But for some reason it was the most depressing dream I think ive ever had. But it was also one of my most vivid while it was happening. I remember the water that took the place of streets (really should have thought something weird was up) Even the part of the town (which i live right next to) and the building it replaced. It was bizarre.
But I dont get why i recognized none of this. I questioned reality on several occasions, and even acted on my curiosity. I thought, "why do they let me have a cell phone?" so I asked the DC, and he said "You have a cell phone!!! How?" And i just answered "Well, I woke up here" I even wondered, why did I wake up in my room with it being a prison? Why am I arrested when I got hit by a car? (strangely corresponding to the dream earlier in the night, when I think i was hit by a semi truck) But none of these questions apparently got anywhere.
So, how exactly do you notice these things? I know that the answer is RC and keep a journal. But I am. How do you RC purposefully when nothing weird enough happens in my day to day life to really question reality?
