    1. First successful lucid dream

      And not only that, but a dream within a dream, too! And not only that, but a WILD within a dream! Quite thrilling.
      (STARTS NON-LUCID) I was in this complex entertainment building. We were getting lost, and my parents were disagreeing over priorities in getting where we wanted to go or something. Finally we arrived in a theater where we got portable see-through armrests. In order to get to the next level on the screen, people would have to find the various things going on, point them out, and receive a 3-letter code for doing so. At the end of every level we would have to go out and act out parts (or something, I don't remember.) Finally, we were chased out of the theater as what might or might not have been part of the act by soldiers dressed like toy-soldiers. We ran up the staircase (very homey) then found out it was a dead end, got out, ran outside, set up defenses (there were a lot more of us outside than in), and started attacking. Somehow the dream transformed into me reading the most blatantly soulless sales and marketing ad I'd ever seen (and I'd seen it in another dream sometime), then looking up and realizing the ad was happening to me (involving an impossibly well-groomed woman of indeterminate racial profile asking me if I wanted to come to the meeting and that there would be Froot Loops and cake). Somehow THAT dream went to me at Grandma's house, somehow finding a second floor, and then somehow finding a spaceship on that floor, taking it out for a test drive (using the clear armrest from earlier as a piloting device), and then being immediately followed by the U.S. Government's spaceships. I was told to cease and desist or I would be destroyed. I panicked and (falsely) woke up. I tried to go back to sleep because I felt only half-awake and fought with SP (but a dream version nothing like the real thing; it felt and looked like being submerged in deep blue (we're talking toilet-levels of blue) water. So after I successfully WILDed my way into a LUCID dream within a dream, I'm rewarded with another false awakening (only this time I know it. I know both were false awakenings because both times I awoke to the sight of a ceiling fan, and my room doesn't have one of those.) I immediately RC'd by noticing some colorful cartoon animals. I clapped my hands and noticed the sound was off. I tried to get the sound to change to cowbell, but I couldn't think of a way to passively make that happen before I spun off into cartoon land, then awakeness. I did spin to maintain lucidity after I realized I had tried to actively force too much, but I didn't know what to do after that. However, I do know that next time this happens, I will be flying a spaceship.

      EDIT: First *intentional* lucid dream.
