So I had a lucid dream yesterday after laying down for a nap. It only lasted a few seconds in dream time. So, My family and I were in an environment that looked to be a cruise ship. I became lucid when I realized there were two of my sister. The one on the left pounced on me, and I woke up.

Awareness - 7 / 10
Control - 4 / 10

The first thing I remember is that I pulled up in the parking lot at the local Sonic for lunch. (probably because that is really what I had for lunch earlier yesterday. lol) Anyways, I pulled up, got out of the car, and went inside. I remember opening the doors and holding them for some elderly lady and her grandkids. Then I went inside and got in line. The place was pretty busy. As I made my way to the counter to place my order, the cashier informed me of a contest to design thier next menu item. I thought I might as well try so I got my foot long chili dog w/ Dr. Pepper and got a table.

As I was sitting there I studied the menu, looking for areas where it appeared my entry would stand out. As I was scanning, I noticed that they didn't sell a double cheeseburger!! I was amazed. How could a fast food joint not serve a double? Anyways, I decided my entry would be a simple double cheeseburger with a large fry and a drink. I finished eating and got up. Then the dream kind of seemed to just fast foward to the next day.

Anywyas, I pulled up in the same spot and got out of my car. Not only did I have the entry paperwork, i had gone and made my own double cheeseburger with fries and a drink! I carried my precious cargo into the restaraunt, and it felt like I did this every day. I started to get that feeling where you just start to question what the heck you are doing, but then decide it is perfectly logical anyways. So in I went with my meal and placed it on the counter for the cashier to examine. In the dream it seemed like I already knew I was going to win the contest and sure enough, I had won. I didn't seem to be concerned with the prize and asked the cashier if I could have the cheesburger back. He said he would need it for a few minutes to show the cook and then he brought it back. I figured I may as well be the first one to eat a cheesburger named after me and then went and got a table.

As I sat down, the dream scene changed slightly. I was still in the same restaraunt and everything, but outside it got really cloudy and stormy all of a sudden. Then it started raining really hard. At this point I am really close to becoming lucid because i start wondering how the weather changed that fast. Then suddenly, I hear the tornado siren go off. For some reason I come to the conclusion that I am in Arizona however and am not worried because I didn't think Arizone had tornado's. Then however, the roof suddenly lifted off and the wind began blowing, sucking everyone out with it. I was the only one left and I was hunkered down between the boot seats, clinging on for dear life. Then for just a spit second I became lucid. I realized I was dreaming because I couldn't really feel the wind blowing on me and I actually seemed to be able to hold on fairly easily, despite the storm ripping the roof off. It literally was only for a second though because then I think a piece of debris came and smacked me in the face and I woke up.

Althought it wasn't lucid for about 99% of the time, it was still at least a good dream in that it was clear and easy to recall this morning.

Current lucid dream goals...
-Stabalize the dream each time I become lucid
-See how fast I can run and if it is consistent
-Meet someone special I have been wanting to for a long time now

See ya!

Well the first thing I remember about this dream is that i was in this kind of abstract white area that was really bright. Suddenly, over a speaker or something it was stated that i needed to find shelter because a tornado wa approacing. Turns out that there was a side room type area that went down about 20 feet in this huge white space. I went over to it and jumped down to hide from the tornado. So I was down there. The room was probably about 10 X 15 feet with the window thing I jumped down from up near the top. I could hear the tornado approaching... I sat down next to the wall in a little ball and waited for it to pass. Then some reallt strange stuff started to happen. The wind died down and it started snowing. For a couple of minutes I just sat there wondering what the heck was going on. (RC anyone?) Anyways, then the wind picked back up. The snow was coming down really heavily now and was making a pile under the window where I had jumped down. Then the engine from a train went wizzing by the window, blowing in more snow as it went along.

Then... well... I don't really want to explain. It was really personal to me but I'll just say this. Someone very dear to me appeared and asked me why I wasn't on the train. I told them I was down here because of the tornado. They replied that it was safer on the train. Well, I had wanted to meet them in a dream for a really long time so I decided to join them. The bad part is that my encounter with them was kind of wasted because I wasn't lucid and really aware that I was actually meeting them. Guess there is always next time.

Anyways, while we were on the train the snow kept coming down. We started piling it up so we could get to the roof of the train because we needed to get up there for some reason. Once we had finally accomplished this and made it to the roof, we went back in the train. We decided we needed to get to the next car but it was too dangerous to walk from car to car. After reaching this conclusion, we decided to just stay in the car we were in. Although I had no idea where the train was going or what we were really doing, apparently it was going to be a long trip so we decided it was time to get some sleep. As we drifted off to sleep, I decided to do a reality check. (always do one right before bed and when I wake up) I tried to push my hand through the floor of the train and... IT WORKED! Now lucid I became super excited. I was fully aware in the dream and realized I was actually with who I had wanted to meet for so long! I went over to wake them up but my excitement got the better of me and I woke up!

Skunked on lucidity two dreams in a row! There needs to be a little angry smiley face to insert.
Just another example to do reality checks as soon as the thought enters your mind.

As you all probably know, Colorado has been having a wildfire issue lately. Well, this worked its way into my dream last night.

So, I was at home and decided to go for a walk. I put on my running shoes and took off. As I went by the lake near the house it got really cloudy and dark. It looked really beautiful though and I stopped to take a picture of the lake. As I did however, it got really stormy with a lot of rain and lightning. Since the ground is so dry, I remember hoping in the dream that the lightining didn't start any fires. Well, apparently in my dreams when I wish for one thing, the opposite happens. Suddenly, the lighting struck the ground on some dry grass, instantly setting it ablaze. The other bad thing about it... my tractor was RIGHT NEXT TO THE FIRE! (yes, I do own a tractor. Bought one at an auction to fix up for some $$$) Anyways, before I knew it the fire had jumped to the engine of the tractor. I was pretty distraught and decided if I could get there in time I might be able to put out the fire and drive the tractor to safety. I took off running. As I was running some really bizarre stuff happened. I was THIS close to becoming lucid. *holds up fingers with appropriate spacing* In my dreams, whenever I run, I feel like I have some max speed. No matter how fast I move my legs or attempt to run, some supernatural force inhibits my running ability. Well, this started happening. In the dream I began to think that I might be dreaming. I considered doing a reality check but was so focused on saving my tractor that I decided against it. *MAJOR FACEPALM* I have learned this one the hard way many times now. WHEN IN DOUBT, DO A REALITY CHECK!! Well, I was nearing the tractor. Apparently though, there was this big ditch in my path. There was a house though right next to the ditch. For some reason, it seemed like it would be faster to go in the house, go to the second floor, bust out the window, and jump to the other side from there rather than just going through the ditch. So, I went in the house and did just that. Then I got to the busting the window part. I tried kicking the window a few times but it was really tough! I found some automatic window opener button thing and pressed it. As I was waiting I thought I might as well do an RC. I plugged my nose and inhaled. Well whaddaya know. I could breathe just fine! I went and stuck my hand through the wall just to be sure. Yep I was dreaming. i became pretty angry with myself that I had been wasting all this time when I could of become lucid a while ago. But, stil glad I was finally lucid I began to formulate what I was going to do. Just when I started brainstorming though... I woke up. My whole 3 seconds of lucidity ended right then and there. But I learned a very valuable lesson... As soon as the thought of doing an RC even enters your mind... DO ONE!
