Dream Lucid Partially lucid

February 2, 2011: Slept around 6 hours, awake for 15 minutes, slept on back. Had another successful WILD. I did not feel any tingling or vibrations this time. I just noticed that I was moving my left arm. I felt a desk or a piece of wood on my bed. I picked it up and tossed it.

Then I clapped my hands together, still lying in bed. I sort of heard a sound from it. I knew I was dreaming. I sat up, out of my physical body position. I said to myself "I'm getting better at this."
I couldn't see at all at first, but my vision gradually got better. I examined my hand to stabilize the dream. There was light from a window that I held my hand in to see better. I began to see more detail.

I also rubbed my hands together. I stood up and looked back at the bed. My body was not there. I was in my childhood bedroom. I walked out and into the nearby bathroom. I noticed little objects and decorations that I thought I recognized but had forgotten about. I wondered if my mind remembered everything or just "guesstimated," or made stuff up (now I realize that the remembered objects were actually false memories in the dream. The general layout of the house was right, but the details were not accurate to reality).

I walked into my parents bathroom. My mom was there. I tested to see if she could see me. She couldn't. She was doing bathroom stuff and I said I didn't want to see her naked, so I left.
I went out to the garage and flew, looking at my hands again to stabilize. I flew out to the front yard and up to the top of the trees. They were like weird shaped pine trees.

I thought about how I enjoy flying through the trees in my dreams and how I haven't done that in a long time (I really haven't). I grabbed a branch as I flew/floated higher and let go to let it swing. My hand was sticky from sap.
I flew into the woods near our house. One of our cats followed me for a while. I told her to stay out of the road.

My brother showed up and asked about a phone message he had sent me. I told him this was a dream. I also told him I had been looking for a city of some sort. We both laughed because I realized this made no sense.
I asked him if he could remind me that I'm dreaming if I start acting unusual, so I can become lucid again. He seems unsure of his ability to do this, but agrees to try. He looked sweaty. Probably he was hot after running through the woods to me.

Then I begin to lose lucidity. A bear-like monster person attacked and I fought it for a minute. Jason said something about walking through the woods in shorts hurting your legs. I was wearing shorts, so I made them longer.
Soon after that I woke up.
