Waking life Non lucid dream Lucid
Sometimes in my waking reality (you know, not a dream life) I imagine that everything is around me and all the people are drawn and animated just like the movie Waking Life. Its totally cool and helps me with being conscious. Lately I have been reading Power Of Now, and I was in the city yesterday and just would switch on consciousness and drop my thoughts and emotions, just listen and be aware of the sights and movements, people and sounds.. I thought to myself at one point, its probably to late in the day to recieve a lucid from starting consciousness this late in the afternoon. But I thought, hey you never know! Anyway, I wasn't absolutely conscious all the time. When my mum, sister and myself left the bar we were at a gained consciousness of our surroundings again. (I wasn't drinking or anything! Just lemonaide and coke) I did 2 RC's as well. I counted my fingers and pinched my nose.

First dream

Theres quite some bit to my dream but I don't have much time to write it. Basically, throughtout my dream these girls kept attacking my little sister and I. I had a false awakening but didn't click on and recognise it like normal cause the FA was in the morning, instead of at night like it normally is. I layed in bed recalling my dream then I went and sat a table and wrote the dream down. I looked away for a moment and when I looked back two cans had replaced my book. I was conscious here and thought, 'hang on, but my DJ was there..'
I woke up and was pretty happy with recognising it and being conscious of my dream surroundings and strange occurances! My waking life consciousness was paying off well tonight. I fell back asleep..

Dream 2

The girls were still attacking us but this time they put a bomb in our room. My sister and I ran out of our apartment and into the elevator. My elevator is a dream sign cause its always different in my dreams. This time it had only floors 4, 5, 6, 7, G, B1, and B2. I became lucid. I tried the breath through my pinched nose but I had a blocked nose or something. I asked my sister some more RCs and she said to pinch myself. I did and felt no pain. The walls of the elevator were like a water feature and water ran down them. And there was no mirror anymore. I pinched her and we ran out the elevator and into a strange and changed enviroment outside. WHere the pool was meant to be was our bedroom again but this time the bomb didn't detonate. I tried some magic but it didn't work so I began to job behind the room (the room had no doors or roof which is another dreamsign of mine) and I said to myself that I will find my magic gloves. And there on the ground lay my rainbow 'magic' mittens. I put them on, but as I did, I happened to remember how on Dreamviews people say not to think about being asleep while in a lucid. I never use to but I rememebered that and did a bit. The vividness dulled.. The dream was slowly slipping but only gradually. I should have felt my enviroment. George Bush just so happened to be hanging out, siting on the ground against the wall. I went up to him and tested out my mittens, giving him seahorses for hands. He said 'You know what noises seahorses make?' and he made this really retarded noise. I tried to summon Jonas Bjerre (a singer from the danish band Mew! < 3 ) and he arrived. But he was asleep.. I woke up before I got the chance to talk to him! SJAHFAKJNFJKHAKSJNkj!

So yay! Thats pretty awesome. Lessons learnt: Consciousness does pay off! Recognise dream signs, make a note of them and RC when you see them or remember them for dreams later. Write what you remember, if only two or three things in your DJ when you wake up. It makes a difference.
