lucid

This was about a week ago, but I've been meaning to post this anyway.

The dream starts with me playing Rainbow Six Siege, and I'm on the operator selection screen, I believe for attacking. I hover my mouse on an operator in the first column and about the middle row to the left. I saw an operator named "Siev" and got confused because I am very familiar with most of these operators and I know that one does not exist. Since I was practicing reality checks for about two weeks up to this point, I decided to count my fingers starting with my left hand, then I saw I had about 6-8 fingers. While the vividness was very low, I was aware that I was dreaming. I got very excited and tried to stabilize, however, the dream ended regardless.

Making this post now even though this dream was approximately a week ago, and I didn't have access to a computer then. Anyway, here goes the dream:

I wake up, and I look at the clock: 11:23 AM. I was wondering why I woke up now, considering I had set a timer for 8 AM. Then, I see the 3 disappear on the clock. I was confused at first, but my initial thought was to look at my fingers, and I was missing my pinky and ring finger on my right hand, so I immediately knew.

Though I have to say, it felt like a very low-level lucid, barely any awareness at all.

Anyways, I immediately thought about my cousin's house in Pennsylvania, and I wanted to teleport to it, so I did, and it was mind-blowingly accurate, even though I had a birds-eye view. I remember going on Google Earth (in real life) and looking at his house (my cousin's house) from the satellite view, and that's exactly how it looked in the dream.

That was about the end of the dream though, so pretty low-level, but cool I guess. I haven't even practiced reality checks in over a year, if not a year and a half now, so I'm confused why this happened. I guess it stuck with me which is a good thing I suppose.

Dream #1: Kanye West comes over to my cousin's house, which my family and I were at. It was pretty weird seeing him there because my family had absolutely no relationship with him whatsoever. I also noticed Kim Kardashian was there, I believe with one of their children. I also remember turning on a Nintendo Entertainment System, but my uncle didn't want me to turn it on, so before he noticed, my cousin quickly unplugged it.

Dream #2: It was a scary dream and I was in a hallway in my house. I remember my mom doing a very creepy truth or dare smile in the dark, and when I'm dreaming I usually know I'm dreaming but can't take control -- but that changed tonight (kinda.) As I've been trying to lucid dream more, I guess my ability to take over a dream has improved, and I realized it was a dream, but everything started turning white so I tried to grab on to the wall because I read in a r/LucidDreaming post that it can help you stabilize your dream. It didn't work for me though.
