Tornados have long been a recurring dreamsign for me. Yesterday I decided to try and use that to obtain lucidity.

Of course real tornados are hard to come by, but youtube videos of tornados are not. So before bed for about half an hour I watched tornado videos while asking myself "Is this a dream?".

It worked! Sort of.

I dreamed about a tornado alright, and a mighty one it was. I'll spare you the details, but I did not become lucid upon seeing the tornado. But when the tornado picked up the house I was in and started to spin it a la The Wizard of Oz, I looked out the window and noticed that the other houses were not being picked up. That seemed odd to me and I realized it was a dream. Lucidity ensued!

Just thought I would share.
