I had this dream this morning - I'm on a ship writing a letter to my dad about how trying to rescue someone could cause us to sink. I can hear myself in a film-style voiceover saying a line from the letter that is quite poetic and profound like "Just one call of distress can send us all to our doom". Next scene I hear an eery distress call and it's like watching a movie - I can see the gigantic ship I'm on sinking - I think that bit might be directly from "Life of Pi". Next scene I'm in the movie again, as it were, drowning outside the ship on a stormy night. But I see my fellow mermaids and realise I'm a male of their species and suddenly rise up through the water, it's more like as if gravity has decided to change direction for me only. I'm above the water and flying, which suddenly stabilises without me necessarily controlling it and it's a bright sunny day in a nice bay. Then I realise I'm dreaming. For a few seconds I enjoy my flight without control then I decide to stabilise the dream and, on the advice received last night at a lucid dreaming group, try to rub my hands together. But instead I wake up.

The fact that I tried stabilising is a good sign and I'm sure I just need my mind practiced and in the right place for it to work. Also it's the first time I had one while having to do something the next day (I was in work today) as usually the stress free atmosphere had helped.

And finally, as in my lucid dream 2 weeks ago and the semi-lucid one last Monday, waking up for real was exhilirating experience.
