Sounds cool! You will get lucid soon if you stick to it.
It is really possible. I am down to maybe 2-3 bad dreams a year and those are usually just angry dreams fighting with family members. It can be life changing.
Thank you so much, Sivason and RelicWraith (Yes, it was scary!)! Thank you both for your encouragement! I definitely need to take it as my first steps, and continue to persist ^^ And log any dreams I do remember, as they will only help in the long run! I would love to be able to have fewer bad dreams, and be able to change any bad ones by going lucid!
Whoa. That must've been scary! Anyway, Sivason's 100% right. This was entirely a lucid dream experience. That's a fantastic milestone. I wish you luck with your future dreams.
Congrats on getting lucid. Control takes some time. It is normal at first to not be in control. One massive benefit lucid dreaming causes is much fewer bad dreams and the ability to stop bad dreams if you are lucid in them.

Hi Xanous, Glad to hear you are doing well. The woman sounds intriging. Following on from what NYxCC noted, in regards to the topic of shared dreaming, I wonder if she lurks or participates on like-minded forums?
That sounds like a fun dream task.
Verdict: stupid!
Thanks for the replies all. Sorry I'm so late seeing them. I'm highly skeptical of shared dreaming but things like this make me wonder. I know I've done experiments with some of you and we never got there but it doesn't mean it's not possible. It seems I have two sides when it comes to dreaming - a mystical side and a scientific side. I feel conflicted sometimes. Maybe I'm just an open-minded skeptic. Also, there's a lot of stuff I'm not telling about her to make me think she's capable. I'm sure it's just a mental construct that took me by surprise... or was it? Dreams are weird and lucid dreams are even weirder.
WOW! That is so cool. Must have been very exciting.
Congratulations on the lucid! Great dream, sir.
F**k me! It's them! ^^

Though I'm missing a large portion of detailed recall from that dream, my best guess would be that it's because I've recently been watching Star Trek TNG plus one of the newer films, and playing Populous 3 again lately. These two activities have usually happened only at night, after dinner, and Populous especially is a game I was already very familiar with years ago. Most of my dreams about space tend to relate to the general contexts of "journey" and "mystery".
Heh. When you mentioned those cartoon soldiers in the last dream, I immediately thought of these guys:

I never rely on "it's vivid enough to remember later", it works sometimes... but not always. Like you say, fun at the time but not getting to keep the memories sucks, especially if there was something really cool or very interesting in a dream. Today I had some fairly vivid dreams that I was wanting to write down, I lost all recall because as I woke up I spilled a drink I'd left on my bedside table before sleep; there's a plug just there so I got on alert pretty quickly, waking myself and my partner quite fully and abruptly too, completely forgetting all my recall in the process. On the other hand, I did get to remember to question reality while this was happening and while cleaning it all up!
Congrats on the ld and hopefully in this case not a shared dream! She may have been a stalker? in the past but the mood of the dream wasn’t too menacing. Maybe it’s one of those cases with the weird coincidences and info from real life trickling in.
