I didn't have any lucid dreams last night. But I did do something in my dream that I wanted to do while lucid dreaming. I had a flying dream, when flying was what I was all that I was focusing on before going to sleep.

A few nights before, I had my first realization that I was dreaming, but I woke up right afterward. I had been thinking about my relationship with someone in the same way that I did while awake, but I noticed how weird the setting was (I was in a Colosseum-style stadium filled with people in strange costumes). That realization that I was dreaming is what got me back into researching lucid dreaming and creating this account.

I have been drinking a lot, a LOT of green tea in order to stay healthy and awake for finals and the preparation that comes along with them. I heard that this can help induce lucid dreaming.

Getting back to the flying: It was exciting having a flying dream after thinking so much about being able to have a lucid, flying dream and imagining exactly what it would be like (I would, like normal flying dreams, kind of push myself into flying, like I am swimming to the surface of a pool).
Unfortunately, I also had a lot of dreams last night about a girl named Chelsea, a girl with whom I do not have a very good relationship.
She tried to steal the guy I was dating at the time, and I would constantly compare myself, believing that she really //was// the right girl for him.

But that's all over now, and it's not pleasant having dreams about her, again.
The dreams were filled with tension. We were both trying to make amends or something, but I could tell that she really didn't want to.
I kept telling myself, when I'd wake up from each dream, that the next time I'd dream, I'd realize I was dreaming. But it didn't work like that.

I hope to focus on wanting to fly and continuing to imagine what it will be like. I'll continue drinking green tea.
We'll see what happens.
