So, I haven't been here for three years. In that time, I have had a large amount of stressful things happen to me and have got completely out of the habit of using a dream journal and lucid dreaming. However, this morning, I experienced a WBTB dream and gained full lucidity for this first time in ages.

So here is the dream:

I was in a local shopping centre and noticed two small boys staring at me and suddenly I became lucid. For a few (?) moments, I dipped in and out of lucidity/ the dream but eventually gained control. I realised that I was dreaming and managed to walk where I wanted but I noticed that I couldn't see the dream environment properly. I frantically tried to do a reality check but I panicked and couldn't find one to do. Anyway, I had completely forgotten the feeling of walking in a lucid dream so I found the experience pretty trippy, even more so because the dream characters appeared to be looking at me in bewilderment. At this point, I woke up.

I'm going to keep recording my dreams again and hope to attain some lucidity very soon. One thing I have never managed to do is fully control by dream environment. There are a few things and places I would like to explore in my subconcious so I hope to do this very soon.

My Friend and I were at a large,youth hostel style cabin located in the grounds of our university. I felt distinctly American,which is odd as I am British. It was a special place where you could go to revise for exams, containing a dorm and a shared kitchen. I shared a room with my friend and a person that I haven't seen for some time who refused to move from their bed and seemed afraid of us,pulling the duvet covers over their head. Looking out the window I could see a bus stop.I thought that this was odd...briefly realising that I was in a dream. There was a shared bathroom next door with a curtain down the middle to separate thetoilet from the bath. I felt afraid, knowing that there was no privacy.There were kids everywhere, a large school party, being yelled at by teachers. One kid shouted where do the uni versity students be?' I yelled 'over here'. My friend and I walked through a hall where my dad was sat with her dad watching a rememberance service. I hugged dad and woke up...

This dream was perculiar as a number of people I have not seen for some time were in it at various points. I assume that It may be about exam anxiety home sickness when at University but I will have to see.

It is also interesting to note that I often dream of University when at home, as I have been the past two weeks. It is almost like living in two places at once.
