Two nights of lucid dreams this week.
Dream 1. I become lucid spontaneously. I'm looking at a grassy undulating back yard noticing the texture of the grass. I decide to just explore the scene and only look at objects close to me. I walk 10 ft or so and the scene fades. A scene forms and it is dark, empty and bleak. I wonder in the dream if this reflects my mood recently, (mom died a few months ago and now this sad election). ( right after she died I had a very powerful and vivid lucid dream of trees blowing in hurricane force winds, a rough and wild ocean and then I've dreamed several times of intense rain) none of these felt particularly sad in the dream but when looking back they seem to reflect emotions in a symbolic way.
Dream 2. I'm spontaneously lucid. I see a group of women in a circle laughing and having fun. I remember I wanted to search for a dream guide. I go up to the people to assess whether one could be a guide. No, I don't think so though I note they are more animated than my usual DCs. I then see a DC crouched down eyeing me off to the side. I feel a little scared but not enough to react. I then wake up.

Dream 3 3 nights later. I became spontaneously lucid after dreaming of frogs and lizard that I want to protect then I was bitten by a lizard. Once lucid I notice I'm surrounded by snow. I think to smell and taste the snow that has some dirty looking patches. I note a savory type smell and a dry dusty texture (no real flavor). I then try to fly and float up a few feet. It was somewhat challenging which is a first for me in a LD. Vision fades so I rub my arm a wait for my vision to return which it did after a few seconds. Vision is now blurry and it's very dark out. This is really common for me for some reason. I decide to do something sexual with a DC I see. I then wake up.

I was pleased to smell something for the first time in a LD and maybe in any dream. These dreams felt fragile and ready to end quickly which they did despite having semi solid goals and rubbing my arm. Maybe I'll try spinning and looking at my hand next time to solidify or lengthen the the dream.
