Adventures in Dreamland

Last night I had exceptionally better dream recall than before, for numerous reasons. I was not drunk and high when i went to bed... I went to bed around 12:30 and i drank apple juice 2-3 hours before bed. I also woke up 4 hours into my sleep for the WBTB technique.

I started out my dream lucid but i quickly lost it without doing any dream control into the dream because i could not do anything without almost waking up due to the excitement. I soon forgot I was in a dream, but this is good progress. I woke up in denver and I was in what seemed like a medieval village except i knew i was in denver colorado. I soon saw my family and at one part of the dream we were in what seemed like a big beach store with staircases all over the place. I kept telling my mom i needed to either start driving or take a plane home tonight because i had work at 11:30 tomorrow. I dont remember much else from this dream

This might be a continuation of the previous dream or another dream altogether, but i was still worried about getting to work at 11:30. I was with my dad and we were driving to his house, and there was a long drive and i dont remember much of what happened but we got to this nature place and started to walk along this path, which in the dream world you take this long path through the woods to get to my dads house, no path in real life. Then we decided to drive somewhere else because my dad can not walk that far and got to this random house, which i faintly remember was my old friends house. But then we decided to leave to my dads beach house (this is how i know im dreaming a lot of times in my dreams my dad has a beach house, he doesn't have a beach house in real life) but I did not realize i was in a dream. I woke up shortly after this.
