Went to bed somewhere around 6:00 am, slept from about 1AM-3:30AM before.

Woke up in my bed, thought I was awake, for some reason chose not to get out of bed at this time. It was dark outside (which should have triggered something as it was just beginning to show brightness when I fell asleep) Tried to open my eyes, was a mess of shifting comic strips (???), faces, dark purple, static. Closed them.

Could move my lips a little, but not much. Got out of bed, as I was scared, went to mom's room, told her that something was wrong. She told me all would be ok, I laid down with her, still did not open eyes. I remember being able to see the entire room but remember thinking about my eyes. Not sure if the weird visuals were in here or not. Mom left the room strangely, I wondered why, something about "early for work" idk All of a sudden, remembered the "check" thing you do in dreams. Looked at the clock, it kept shifting randomly. My mom noticed my gaze and asked if I was alright. Looked at my reflection, the mirror (which was where the TV should be, oddly) looked like it had cuts or something in it, distorted my reflection.

REALIZED I WAS IN A DREAM

Thought this was cool, imagined Angelina Jolie, didn't work at first, but thought of her and she started to appear and a weird white outline of her (I think it was her) started to walk toward me. Mom walks in and disrupts the appearance, I run in her bathroom for some reason and start to imagine Hayden Panetierre. Didn't work too well, I think.

Next thing I know, I'm fighting Godzilla to retrieve something (don't remember, but I did tell my mom about needing this), and I rip apart his hide. I had a strange thought that I wanted to eat it, but I plopped it down with the rest of his body, brown blood I believe. Next thing I know, I'm awake.

Not sure if mom woke me up or not, she was just in here talking to me, but I think I woke up on my own. The beginning of the dream was very scary. I really can't describe what it looked like when I tried to open my eyes, but it was just maddening. Hard to talk until I walked in my mom's room. Got cool after I realized I was in a dream. I'm sure there is more detail about this, but this is all I can remember (it has been about 5-7 minutes since I woke up, I think). My first true lucid dream that I can remember vividly, an amazing experience.

Was on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) before I went to bed. Maybe the Lucid has something to do with all this. Was updating Rhythmbox before I closed the laptop lid (I believe it was on an 808 State song "E Talk", it reminded me of Soulwax's "E Talking") Parents were up when I was going to sleep, Dad was just leaving I believe. My dog was making that weird noise when she sleeps again. I tried at one point to get myself out of the dream, was definitely before Angelina started to show up. Did I know that this was a dream before the clock test?? Dunno. I remember my penis being hard when I went into my mom's room, I was worried that she'd say something about it.
