Second lucid dream

Introduction:
I tried a different mantra tonight, and it worked. My mantra tonight was "I'm dreaming". I thought it was too long to keep saying "I will realize I'm dreaming and do reality checks" over and over, and I read that the "will" only implies the future, not necessarily tonight. I think MILD is going to be my best lucid induction technique, with that mantra, of course. Can't wait for tonight's lucid episode! Going to actually remember to stabilize this time around!

Sorry if it is a little hard to read, I am editing it right now. I have 3 brothers. Only two were in the dream, we'll call them A, B, and C (C was not in the dream). 2 of my brothers have girlfriends, well call them D and E. A is dating D. C is dating E (C is not in the dream).

Okay, this is a little weird dream, I can't really remember how the dream started off, but I became lucid out of nowhere in my living room. I performed the nose-pinch reality check and confirmed I was dreaming. I seen my brother(A) and his girlfriend(D) sitting on the couch together, and I walked over to them. I got a little uneasy thinking that I actually wasn't dreaming, but I confirmed myself that I was dreaming again by reality checking again. I looked out the window to see my brother(B) and my other brother's girlfriend(E) playing ping pong, I didn't think about going out there.

I sat down on the couch, and grabbed the TV remote, I realized that while I was reading the remote looking for the "Guide" button, I would see it, try to push it, then it would move. I also realized that my vision was blurry. I finally pushed the "Guide" button, and the TV's guide screen came up. The screen looked like it normally would, but the screen looked like stars, but with text overlaying on top as if it were a TV guide (impossible to read).

I headed towards my front door, jumping along the way and testing gravity. This lucid dream was much more vivid and I actually felt like I was doing everything. I decided to go out my front door. The first thing I saw was my mom pulling out of the driveway with her car. The driveway looked different than in real life. There was another car in the driveway (we only have one car), that had 2 moving trailers on top of it (the ones on the back of big rigs). This may not make sense, but they were miniature. I decided to go back inside and see what else I could do. As I walked through the front door, my vision went black and I woke up in my bed.

I wake up in my bed, and can see my brother(B) tossing and turning in his bed (which is weird, my room was never near his). I go tell him about the lucid dream I just had, and we start to go downstairs. My other brother(A) is downstairs with his girlfriend(D) (the ones that were sitting on the couch). He tells me about how he wants to do something with lucid dreaming (don't remember exact words he used.). His girlfriend(D) said that she is trying to lucid dream, too. They came out to the living room and I told them my story, and my brother's girlfriend(D) started getting irritated at me because I could do it and she couldn't.

Me and my brother(B) (the one that was in bed) said he was about to go to sleep. I asked him if he wanted to smoke a cigarette with me, and he said sure (he doesn't smoke, so when I say that, he comes out with me, he didn't smoke in the dream). As we were out there he was talking about how we have more chances at lucid dream's tomorrow. I still thought it was the night (It was night in the dream), and I said, "We still have tonight dude.". He just completely ignored it and said that we need to get the weight's out of our closet (We don't own weights.). He said that our mom was going to sell them in a garage sale. (oddly enough, there is a neighborhood garage sale today.) Then the next thing I remember I woke up.

Thanks for reading!
I really need to remember to practice stabilization techniques in my dreams!

First lucid dream

At the beginning of the dream, I was with my two brothers up inside my parent's room. It looked just like how it would in real life, although I did not inspect everything as much as I should have. The lighting was normal and it all seemed very real.

We were all just standing there, and then I cant remember but I realized I was dreaming and became lucid. Me and my brothers all knew it was a lucid dream, which was kind of weird. Then we decided to believe that something would be under my parent's bed, and we started taking off the mattresses and sure enough, it was there. I really do not remember what it was that was there, but we did find it. Then I tried to summon a magic wand(Really don't know why, just the first thing that came to mind when I thought of summoning something) I just yelled "magic wand!" and visualized it in my hand, but nothing happened. Some black lady walked through the door, and I decided to leave to go downstairs. I jumped off the staircase and landed on the floor with no pain. There were some people that I never seen before laying on my couch, and they were saying stuff about me, I got mad and yelled at them. (Can't remember what I yelled) This is when I did my first reality check in a dream, I plugged my nose, and sure enough, I could breathe!

I decided to go outside to see if I could find any DC's to interact with. I opened up my front door, and it was not my driveway, it was a grass plane with a school. The school had the words "middle school" floating above it. I continued to walk around looking for some DC's and I walked for what seemed like 20 seconds to the left, and then there was another school, that had the words "high school" floating above it. I instantly recognized the high school, because I have been there before in some of my non-lucid dreams.

I woke up after that, and I tried to go back into a dream but there were people talking loudly in my house at the time, so I decided to get up.

I think the reason the dream ended so quick, is that I did not practice any stabilization methods, I just did my own thing. I didn't even perform a reality check until half-way through the lucid dream.
