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!
