    On boat with family in ocean off coast of some holiday place. Water is stormy and black, big waves..

    Haven't been on here in a while because of lack of dream recall and things going on in the real world (had an operation couple of weeks ago so currently recovering/healing from that).

    Went to sleep about 1am, woke up with the central heating about 6:30am

    Dreamt I was on a boat with some family specifically my Mother, StepDad, Brother in law & Sister. We were out on the sea just off the coast of some holiday destination we were at. We were doing some kind of test sail before setting of on a bigger trip later. The sea started to get really rough & the water was black & dirty with waves just swelling up seriously high, as high as high rise flats.
    I turned and said to my brother in law I probably wouldn't take the trip later because of the sea conditions & I was worried it would capsize the boat & we'd all drown.
    When we got off the boat I was telling the same thing to a stranger as we were walking away off the beach & onto the street. I was telling him that I wouldn't go back on the boat because of dreams I'd had about water!

    We seemed to get split up on the streets in a sort of market area & I lost my family. I ended up tussling with some guys but not seriously sort of play fighting. I think I was asking them for directions back to our apartment because I'd got lost. One of them was leading me the wrong way & this is what caused the tussle! They were making me follow this florescent tube light that was sort of floating before me or suspended by a translucent string. Eventually I moved it aside and broke off from them after a little play fight & some laughter then I threatened to smash up some fruit on their market stall!
    Eventually I'm back in our apartment but my family have already gone on the boat trip I was so scared of going on. I feel devastated because I'm certain they'll perish, I'm crying out for my mother in despair, I'm looking around a mess of tobacco & bits of weed on the floor..I rush out to see if I can get to my family in time to stop them from going on the boat trip & save them but I forget my keys so have to go back for them..suddenly I wake up & realise I've been dreaming.

      Wow, close call there, man! It may be frustrating to come that close to realizing you're dreaming but that sort of awareness is a very good sign. It may pay to recall this dream moment from time to time throughout the day and gently remind yourself that next time you will make sure that you're not dreaming.

      I wish you a speedy recovery from your operation! Your dream recall is bound to return as the waking life stresses you're currently facing begin to settle down.

      Hey thanks for your comment I didn't really think of it as a near lucid trigger at the time, thanks for pointing it out! I'm slowly but surely healing from my operation now, it's a long frustrating road to recovery though so while I wait I'm trying to get back into my lucid dreaming training & general vivid dreaming recall. I'll be starting with updating my dream journal with a few dreams I've recorded into my phone.

      Very good, I'm glad to hear that you're on the road to recovery! I know it feels weird being a little out of practice, but I'm already seeing great evidence in your dream journal that the vivid, interesting content is back, along with a tendency to be aware that you might be dreaming. It'll be fun getting it all back!
