Ok! Good news! no, wait, excellent news!!! I had another lucid well, semi lucid dream!!! This makes 3 now. I was able to recognize a dream sign, when my ex-boyfriend, (who I'm still madly in love with) gave me a great big huge hug like we were getting back together. I realized that would not happen in real life, and that I was dreaming. It was so great. I don't think I'll ever forget it. Then the next thing I remember was trying to make another old friend of mine appear around the next corner, and sure as shit, it worked!!! It was so great to be able to think of a technique while dreaming, and actually try it. I had pretty much given up on becoming lucid, and low and behold, it all just happened one night. Wow, it was so awesome!!!!!!!
