Weird weird half-lucid dreams most of last night. I knew I was dreaming but was only lightly asleep - I was too hot, uncomfortable, in pain, I could feel my body lying in bed and the sheets on me. I tried saying 'stabilise' but don't think I really remembered why I was saying it, so unsurprisingly it didn't do much.

I remember looking at some text, looking away, then looking back knowing it would have changed because I was dreaming (it did). I did it several times, but somehow didn't think it was a 'real' dream that counted.

I remember flying, but inside a building, floating along the ceiling.

Ok, thought I might as well start one of these since after a few weeks of trying I finally lucid-dreamed again.

The first one wasn't very long - i was dreaming about celebrating Christmas with my family, and suddenly thought 'Wait, it's July, isn't it?' Did a nose-pinch reality check and... figured out I was dreaming. I was worried about waking up so tried grounding myself by rubbing my hands together and running them over my hair to feel the texture of it, which seemed to work okay. I decided to go outside and maybe try flying, but when I opened the door everything outside was pitch dark. I was trying to figure out how to approach that when... my alarm went off and woke me up.

I took a nap a couple of hours later though and was able to drop back into a lucid dream almost right away - counted my fingers as a reality check and I had six on both hands. This time, for reasons I'm not really clear on, I decided to try walking through a mirror and seeing what happened... I ended up in a weird videogame landscape, which was kind of fun, but I had very little control over what was going on even though I remained lucid.

Still though, two LDs in one day isn't bad after weeks of trying with no results so I'm pretty happy about that.
