I've been writing in a dream journal for 2 months and have had 5 lucids. I was looking back on them and wanted to share a couple since I'm new here.

1st Lucid
Type:WILD
After lunch I decide to try a WILD so I went to bed and relaxed, using some techniques from The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep book. After what seemed like a long time I gave up and got out of bed and walked outside. However, I noticed that it was really dark outside which was odd since it was around noon. I looked at the ground and thought "Am I dreaming?" as soon as I said that my dream body was plummeted strait back to my room, phasing through a wall and back into my body. I made sure not to move and started visualizing different places: the forest, desert, ocean. I couldn't make up my mind on where to go and could tell the visuals were fading I knew the dream was ending. Suddenly a distant sound emerged from the darkness, something I recognized but couldn't pinpoint on what it was exactly.

Go to youtube and type in "Total Recall The Dream" and that is the song that was playing(I cant post links yet)

Then, out of the nowhere this incredibly powerful voice from nowhere said this: "Have you ever wanted to climb the mountains of Mars?" Then I realized the song was from the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Total Recall. My eyes opened and I was looking a red soil. I looked slowly looked up and was staring at the mt. Everest of Mars. I looked around, taking in the details (blue sky), but became so overwhelmed I woke up.

-I thought it was interesting that once I tried to find the song on youtube I discovered it was called "The Dream"

Second Lucid
After waking up early then going back to bed I fell asleep and found myself on a rooftop. The building seemed to be coming out of the ocean. Somehow I just started flying out over the ocean, changing speeds and flying higher and lower. The ocean was incredibly vivid far more than real life, which was amazing to me. I saw a tall building in the distance that was being engulfed by nature, as if it had been abandoned. As I looked at the ocean I saw what I first thought was thousands of multicolored flowers just under the surface of the ocean. Then I sensed something that blew my mind: Those weren't flowers I was seeing, and I wasn't even flying over an ocean at all, it was all energy . At that point of realization a wave came up and I passed through it, feeling a shockwave through my body that sent me into waking consciousness.
