hi all i'm starting a dream journal here, and i will also be writing my dreams down in a physical dream journal, but i think it will help me and encourage me to write them down if i do it here as well. i'll start by describing last night's dreams, what i can remember of them. i remembered more when i woke up of course, but since i didnt write them down right away (bad me), theyve faded some.

last nights dreams: there were two that i can remember-one that went on for a long time, but what i can remember of it is me being in a car with a couple of guys who'd just robbed a bank or done some other kind of illegal thing. one of them had a gun and was pointing it at me even tho i seemed to be in on the robbery with them. i felt no fear tho, whether this is because i like guns or not, i have no idea it gets foggy here but i think we somehow crashed into a lake.
the next bit i remember is being at a big dinner, like a thanksgiving dinner with lots of different dishes, with perhaps 12 people, but i dont know who any of them were. it was like i had been gone and arrived at the dinner late-i tried to serve myself (i remember one dish was mixed vegetables, another was Stove Top stuffing) and when i looked in the dishes, the food that was there was suddenly gone, and i was very angry with everyone for not saving any for me! then everyone stood up, and i looked to the head of the table, and Woody Allen was standing there. if anything, that should have made me realize i was dreaming, grr. anyways he was holding a dictionary and saying it was some sort of game where he reads a word and then each of us takes turns, saying what the word means. as soon as one person gets it right, he moves to the next person. i remember being excited and wanting to go first, thinking "i can do that, i'm good at that!" lol.
anyways thats all i remember. i will try to write down any dreams i have, right when i wake up, so i can remember more detail.
NOTE: i just want to mention that i had a flying dream a few nights ago and i think thats important because for me flying dreams and lucid dreams are somehow connected, not sure if its like that for other people. in fact i think of my flying dreams as sort of very low level lucid dreams. in that dream which was baout three nights ago, i dreamt i was flying around San Francisco. i had gone to sleep that night trying to practice WILD, and i think it partially worked, because i wouldnt have thought to try to fly in my dream if i wasnt aware at least on some level, that i was dreaming. at one point while flying, i started to sink slowly, and i was over the San Francisco Bay, and my toes actually dipped in the ice cold water, and it felt sooo real. i cant wait to have a flying dream again, i had lots when i was a kid, and loved them
*edited to add that ive been interested in lucid dreams off and on since having one when i was a kid that made a big impression on me: i was walking down a street in my neighborhood (not sure how old i was, maybe 7?) when i suddenly just out of the blue, realized i was dreaming. i decided i wanted to make all the houses change colors-and as i thought that-they did! i skipped down the street feeling incredibly happy, as all the houses changed from blue to green to red to yellow to orange to purple as i walked by them. as anyone who's had a lucid dream knows, the feeling is amazing and really hard to describe. i've tried explaining it to my boyfriend, because he wants to know why i'm interested in lucid dreams, and i explain it but it always feels like he just doesnt quite get it. he says "oh..that sounds cool then". if he only knew how fun it was... 8)
at any rate, its only in the last week or so that i've gotten interested in lucid dreams again, and am using various techniques to try to have one. i consider the flying dream a good sign tho
