Nonlucid, Lucid, Partially lucid

April 17, 2011: I consciously enter a dream. I get up out of bed. Everything is dark, grainy and black and white. Things clear up a bit and I find my girlfriend lying in a bed. Then the dream fades and I begin to wake up.

I get up. I'm not sure if I am awake or not, so I pinch my nose. I can still breath through it, so I know I am in a dream.
I comment on how bright, colorful, and realistic this dream is, unlike the previous one. I call out my intention to face my nightmares and fears and confront them.
I see a creepy hooded guy upstairs. I approach him and I demand that the nightmares stop being a nuisance. Lots of other people and things appear. I tell all of them to leave me alone and that I want to explore and grow, and learn without them hindering me, or being in the way.

I tell this to a mirror and to a dark place. I tell them all to go away!
There is something like a flash, everyone vanishes, and I wake up.
