MeggyFayePhotography's Dream Journal

**meggyfayephotography** · 05-16-2007 04:30 PM

This is my first blog ever!

Let me give you a little bit of back-info on me:

-I've always had lots of dreams each night for as long as I can remember.
-I've always been able to remember at least one dream per night.
-I used to keep a dream journal, a hand written one, but through the years I've been busy with work and college.
-I always look forward to going to sleep at night so I can dream.
-Up until yesterday I never knew that I could learn to control my own dreams.

I found this website yesterday afternoon. We discussed dreams, dreaming and lucid dreams lightly in my psychology class Monday night. That sparked my interest in keeping track of my dreams again. I didn't know what a lucid dream was. I didn't know this was even possible. I couldn't stop thinking about it all night.

I remember reading that some people are natural lucid dreamers. I also remember reading that a key skill in lucid dreamng is being able to have dream recalls and dream signs. Both I've always been able to do but never been aware of.

So, last night when I went to sleep I kept telling myself over and over again in my head, "Tell yourself you're dreaming if you see this, or that. Tell yourself you're dreaming if this happens, or if that happens. You are in control of your dreams so tonight we're going to do this. Or maybe this!"

When I finally started dreaming, I woke up many times to many different dreams that are vauge. I remember one dream specifically that I know wasn't lucid and another dream that I think was lucid but I woke up.

My first dream: The only thing I remember was saying over and over again "I'm dreaming. This is a dream" then I woke up.

My second dream: I remember it was dark, lots of overcast. My friend Krystle was driving my car. My sister Lisa was in the passenger's seat. I was in the back sitting on the floor (I found that very odd.). I believe we were at a stop and then Krystle started to accelerate but she did so quickly and with a high RPM. It caused a lot of noise so a cop pulled us over. I was unbuckled in the back because I was on the floor. I remember getting very upset and nervous. Krystle said everything was going to be fine. I buckled up while still sitting on the floor. I pulled the seatbuckle down to the floor and the fastener was on the floor instead of on the seat. The cop was my father (my father works for an insurance company in real life, and I found that weird also). I don't remember the conversation exactly but he ended up laughing and letting us go. Then I woke up.

I think my excitement got the best of me last night. I'm usually a lot better with remembering dreams. I need to learn how to control my excitement just as much as I need to learn how to control my dreams.

Comments and suggestions EXTREMELY welcome! ^_^

It sounds like you're off to a good start, especially since you're just getting into LDing. As I stated in that PM, don't be afraid to ask and participate in the forums. We're all here to help each other, not only ourselves.

So last night my sleep was quite disturbed for the first... nearly 3 hours. My boyfriend works night and he's gone 2 nights out of 3. I sleep SHITTY when he's home. Just as I started to get into a deep sleep, a guy from his work called him and it woke us both up. THEN I think I had my first REAL lucid dream and something woke me up, more than likely him stirring in bed. Possibly his first alarm to wake him up.

Dream #1:

It was a very nice and sunny afternoon. I was driving in my car which was my car in waking life but a convertable. I had a feeling I was dreaming, so I tested it. I saw a "For Sale" house sign. The second time I looked at it, the color and text of the sign changed! I shouted, "I did it! I'm dreaming!" Then the next thing I knew I was standing by what seemed to be a pond and I said it again, "I'm dreaming!" I believe it was at that point I became lucid. I then got this very... amazing feeling ALL OVER MY BODY. It was cool, and comforting. My body tingled but in a good way. It was like a cool breeze before a summer storm, but inside my body. I felt at peace with everything. My favorite dreams are the flying ones so I thought to myself, "Let's try flying!" Just as I was preparing myself for take-off, I got this new feeling in me. A feeling in the pit of my stomach because I felt like I was waking up. Things started to get fuzzy so I covered my eyes with my hands tightly and spun around yelling "NO!" It didn't work and I woke up anyway.

Dream 2:

I had my 4 year old niece in my car and we were driving around, not sure what we were doing. I saw my sister (my niece's mother) sitting on a big truck with her old friend from her pre-teen childhood. I got out of my car and went over to see them (I'm not sure if my niece was still in the car or if she just disappeared). She was smoking weed (she never does that which should have been a big red flashing dream sign). I just kept smiling trying not to give her dirty looks of disapproval. She stubbed out the blunt... on her forehead... and her friend asked her why she was putting it out. "I can tell my sister doesn't like it," She said as I walked away. Then I woke up.

Dream 3:

My mother and I were watching some talk show. It was a special on TV because it was her birthday. A woman I know from college made a surprise appearance on the special and sang her a song for her birthday. My mother and I were cooking dinner. She for her and my father and I was cooking for myself. We made the same exact thing, grilled steak and roasted potatoes, we just had different types of steak. She asked me if I wanted any and I thanked her and said no because I had my own. She went to her big bowl of roasted potatoes and they were all gone. "Did you eat all my potatoes?!" She yelled at me laughing. I said no, I had my own. My mood in this dream was rather depressed. I'm not sure why. Other than the tv transforming into my mother and I sitting in the outdoor live studio at this tv special, there was one other very distinct sign I should have caught on to... there were bits of what appeared to be lobster shells mixed in with my food. They were just the hard shell parts near the lobsters head. And it was freaking disgusting. I hate lobster. Any kind of shellfish really. I woke up.

I think my sleep was too disturbed until 1AM to really concentrate on having lucid dreams after my boyfriend left for work. I had to get up for work myself at 6am and I was really tired by the time he left. I don't think I'll be very successful tonight either because he'll be home. He's too much of a bed hog for me to get into a good REM sleep. When he's home, he passes right out when we go to bed. It usually takes me about an hour or so to fall asleep. Most of the time I just marvel at how quickly he fall asleep. I've never been good at falling asleep quickly. Well I really should get ready for work. It's 6:54AM and I have to be at work for 8am.

**meggyfayephotography** · 05-18-2007 02:32 PM

Last night was a horrible dream night for me. I was tring too hard to fall asleep/stay asleep that i didnt really focus on trying to have a lucid dream. The boy will be working tonight so hopefully something good will come!

Oh, and can I just share my excitement from school last night?! My instructor says that I'm a natural editor, more natural than a photographer. He compared me to a professional photo editor who's had very famous clients such as America's Next Top Model photographers, the photographer for Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, various professional high fasion photographers and magazine photographers. So now, not only am I a photographer, but I'm not a professional photograph editor.

College Graduation can't come soon enough...

**meggyfayephotography** · 05-19-2007 08:20 PM

No dreams last night that I can recall. Not a single one. I know why though. So I'm not worried.

**Twoshadows** · 05-23-2007 04:05 PM

Very nice pictures!

The children are adorable.

I like the way you cature the color just right in certain of you pictures--like the light house, and lobster place, and that other place on the dock with the red. Oh, and the gumballs with the lighting on one side.

And also the close-ups of the furit are very appealing.

Great job. Hope to see more!

**meggyfayephotography** · 05-24-2007 06:53 PM

I meant to post this earlier... I finally had a dream last night that I had an easy time remembering...

Dream:

I went to North Carolina to visit my best friend. The only scenario I remember from my visit was being in a bar with her. But I wasn't sitting with her because I was mad at her. I was mad because she had a newborn baby, like 3 months old, and had the baby, in the carseat, ontop of the bar, and she was drinking a lot like the baby didnt even matter.

So I had my boyfriend who was still in New Hampshire, come and pick me up. My dad was supposed to meet him in Pennsylvania and pick me up from there and bring me the rest of the way home. This I didn't understand because my boyfriend still had to drive the rest of the way home to New Hampshire.

The next thing I know I'm in a gas station in the middle of the night in Pennsylvania buying food after Matthew walked out. I wanted a ham sandwich but all they had were re-heatable cheeseburgers. So I got one of those, a juice drink and a bag of chips. The total came to $9.95 so I gave her a $20 dollar bill and she gave me another $20 dollar bill back. I told her I gave her a $20 and she said no you gave me a $10. This made even less sense to me because I should have gotten $0.05 if I gave her a $10. I just took the money in confusion and started walking out the door. On my way out, I saw chips that were a new flavor in a lilac purple colored bag. I grabbed a bag on my way out and didn't think twice about paying for it.

Matthew disappeared and I was in a car with my father driving home. I don't remember driving home though, just sitting in the car with my dad.

Next thing I know I'm at my parent's house and it's still the middle of the night. I called Matthew's cell phone to see where he was and it was someone else's cell phone number. It was the correct number but the wrong person. I found it really weird though that I was at my parent's house and was to sleep in my old bedroom seeing as how I haven't lived there for about 7 months.

I remember my mother telling me that my dad went to my grandmother's house, 62 miles away, to drop off one of her Segways. My mother and I were supposed to bring the other two Segways back to my grandmothers house. All I remember was thinking it was crazy because it was too far away to drive on a motorized scooter and then we didn't even have a ride back.

Then I woke up.

**meggyfayephotography** · 05-25-2007 03:48 PM

I don't know what to say about the two dreams I remember from last night. Well I suppose the first one throws me off more than the second one. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it, but at the same time it makes me wonder. I know that's horrible but... I can't help it.

My memory from the first dream is a bit scattered...
To help you understand, I'll give you a little prelude. I've been with my boyfriend for almost a year now. We're very serious and very much in love. I have two classes this term with a guy who I'm attracted to both physically and personally. He has a fiance. I don't want to date him. It's just an attraction that I can't help and don't want to act on.

Dream 1:

Ethan and I were hanging out. Everytime our faces got close to each other when we spoke, we'd hold back kissing each other, then look away quickly. We were close to his apartment and we were finally discussing our attration to each other. "You have a fiance." I said to him looking away. "I can't help it, I love you." He said to me. "What did you say?" But when I turned around he was gone. He was inside his house.

I was afraid that if I called his fiance would answer the phone and get upset. I was afraid that if I knocked on the door for no reason, his fiance would answer the door and get upset. He had a large gap under his front door. I noticed that his kitten had gotten out of the house and crawled under the door. I picked up the kitty and knocked on the door. No answer. I knocked again, let myself in and called for him. I told him that his kitty got out and he thanked me and smiled as if nothing happened between us earlier.

I was in his apartment and we were talking about how his fiance was out with her friends and she should be home by 10pm. It was 10:36pm. We saw headlights and heard a car door shut. She was home. I left and a few minutes later he came out after me.

This was the moment I was anticipating. We were talking, I don't remember everything that was said. I think he said something about us hanging out right now. I said it wasn't enough time. We were standing at a round table covered with things. He asked me why it wasn't enough time. I didn't answer. The next thing I said was along the lines of, there's only one guy I want in my life for the rest of my life. He asked me who it was. "I'm looking at him." I said. Knowing that things could never work between us (I have a serious boyfriend who I love, he has a fiance who he love), tears started welling up in my eyes and he too seemed a little misty. He started to walk away again and I followed. He stopped walking and I began to rub his lower back. I could hear him breathing heavy because he was frusterated and confused. He started to walk away again. "But I love you!" I shouted.

That's all I can remember. I think, though, that Ethan and I kissed which initiated our talking about being in love with each other.

My next dream doesn't really bother me. I often have dreams about Matthew and I breaking up. At first they used to made me sad and I'd tell him about these dreams. He'd reasure me that they were merely dreams and I had nothing to worry about.

Dream 2:

This is a short dream that I remember.

Matthew and I had broken up. This guy Jake that I had a crush on in high school was there. We were at an amusement park that was sponsered for $40 million dollars by McDonalds. One of my best friends was there with me. After flirting with Jake and teasing him until he started following me around, the three of us ended up in some room with a tv, chair and sleeping bag. I was tired. Krystle was in the chair watching tv. I was lying on the floor. Jake had the sleeping bag and came to lie with me. Krystle was oblivious to what we were doing. He kept kissing my neck and I kept quietly telling him to stop as I raised my hips and rubbed myself against him. I could feel my breathing getting heavier.

Then my stupid cellphone rang and woke me up. I don't even know who called because it was a private number. I tried to fall back into that dream by thinking about it and thinking about what would happen next and just as I felt myself drifting off again... the private number called again. So I then said fuck it and just tried going back to sleep. A half an hour later, Matthew called to let me know he was on his way home from work. So I just got up out of bed.

**meggyfayephotography** · 05-26-2007 02:34 PM

Yet another dream about not being with Matthew...

Dream:

I remember the dream starting out in the night. I was trying to get to school. I was driving in my car. There was a red light coming up. I stepped on my breaks and nothing happened. I pressed as hard down on my breaks as I could and still my car would not stop. There were cops nearby. I went right through the red light. The cops did not pull me over. I was so scared I almost cried. I pulled myself over to the side of the road to compose myself.

I got to school and I remember driving Matthew's 72 VW Beetle around and the breaks were doing the same thing as with my car. To top it off, I was driving the car inside the building.

I remember getting a note or talking on the phone to my ex boyfriend Rob. (Note: Rob was seperated when we were dating. The last time we broke up he and his wife got back together for the 3rd time) Rob and Hannah had broken up again. (Note: If Matthew and I ever break up and Rob and Hannah aren't together, I'd more than likely go back to him. For a 4th time...) So in this form of contact we had, he told me that he was single again and he also told me where he lived.

After school (but I actually think I was there for work; I do work at school during the day and have class at night) I went to find where Rob now lived. I found it. He let me inside. He had just woken up. I didn't want to kiss him because he had to brush his teeth.

The next day I was at work in the morning like usual. People kept trying to get into the equipment room and I had to keep telling them to get out. No one is allowed in there unless you work there. I had stuff to do and I told Krystal to make sure NO ONE goes in there while I'm gone. She's kind of a slacker when it comes to working there.

My shift ended at work. This guy on a bike from school was following me to Rob's house. He kept trying to kiss me and ride his bike with his arm around me while I walked. I kept telling him to stop and moving out of his way. We neared Rob's house and I kept telling him that I have a boyfriend and we're right in front of his house and that he needed to stop. I went down the hill to the back door of his house. I knocked on his window. He was sleeping. I saw his foot startle and get caught under the curtain of the window. He told me to come in.

Then I woke up.

The weirdest part of that dream for me was my car not stopping when I was pressing down on the breaks. I often have dreams about that. The fact that I was back with my exbf didnt really bother me because I know the chances of that happening are slim to none. I don't talk to him anymore. And funny enough I'm very good friends with his wife. We hated each other at first, mainly because Rob was dating me and didn't tell me he was still married and didn't tell her about me when he was trying to work things out with her. Yeah, he cheated on me and I still got back with him twice after that. Now Hannah and I are really close. It's funny how things work out, isn't it?

**meggyfayephotography** · 05-28-2007 02:41 PM

I remember having a bunch of different dreams last night. My body was in too much pain to remember the dreams. Damnit for taking after my mother... I just couldn't get comfortable last night so whichever way I fell asleep ended up with my body aching.

**Oneironaught** · 05-28-2007 03:47 PM

You too? I tossed and turned more last night than I can recall ever doing.

**meggyfayephotography** · 05-28-2007 04:20 PM

I remember one part of one dream from last night-- I was cooking for Matthew's family and his dad thanked me for the meal and told me it was great. Then Matthew said something about me being the best cook in their family but he kept using his last name as mine. I said I'm not a L********, he said no you're not and I said but someday I will be and he said yes that someday I would be.

That's all I remember.

It's horrible!! I sleep on my sides and my hips kill so much that I cant sleep on my sides. I lay on my back and my spine curves too much and I get major back pains. I never lay on my stomach because I get the worst back pains of all from my spine curving from that. Not even 21 years old yet and I'm falling apart...

**meggyfayephotography** · 05-29-2007 05:17 PM

Last night I had a rather odd dream. I went back to college for culinary arts. My chef coat was a blue smock (very similar to the one I used to have to wear when I worked in the photo department at Walgreens). There were two girls there with me who I went to elementary school with. I don't really remember anything else.

**meggyfayephotography** · 06-01-2007 03:21 AM

I think I had several dreams last night. But I've only been able to remember two parts from one dream, the last one I remember having of the night. I won't... shouldn't... post them on here though. They have to do with me and Matthew... intimately. And boy was it an amazing dream. It was funny though because we were in a hot tub with like two other people and he was sleeping. And well, it was still intimate even though he was sleeping in a sitting up position.

I &hearts; my baby! And I'll probably never tell him about that dream. Or any other dream when we have sex for that matter. Lol.

**meggyfayephotography** · 06-02-2007 04:00 AM

So Matthew's never had even a slightly good dream recall. The other day he had a very vivid dream. He was Italian, and in the mob. He was living in his old house where he grew up. He shot two people in the head. And he found it absolutely hilarious when he told me about it tonight. I really do love him more than anything in the world! lol

**meggyfayephotography** · 06-02-2007 06:44 PM

Dream:

I went to work what seemed to be an hour early. There were people signed up to use the studios starting at 10am. When I arrived at work, an instructor was letting a former employee/current student into the photo equipment room. I yelled at her from down the hall that he wasn't allowed in there without me being present. They backed away. This student was there to shoot his grandfather and 4 young male cousins around the junior high school age. The grandfather got very upset and started bitching. I tried to explain to him that, by request of my boss, no one was allowed into the studios unless a work-study student was present; there have been too many expensive equipment items going missing and we're trying to stop it. He didn't care and stormed off. I tried explaining it better to one of the 4 boys as well... "We started off with 6 lenses that cost about $600-$700 and now we only have 3 and one of the stolen ones was just returned to us yesterday. Thats why people aren't allowed in there without us." He understood. I went in the equipment room and Tristan, the former employee/current student, was sitting at my table as if he were working there; his things thrown all over the table. I started yelling at him about how when he works he needs to keep the table clean, then I threw something of his off the table onto the floor. Krystal, a co-worker/co-student, was there signing stuff out for me because I was suddenly overcome with nausea. Christine asked me if I was ok and I shook my head no and crouched down to the ground, leaning my head against the metal door frame. She walked me to the bathroom. She went in the stall farthest down. After I looked at the cleanliness of the other stalls I realized the one she took was the only clean one. I walked out of the bathroom feeling better.

I started walking around outside. The scene was totally different from what it should have been. I saw my old high school. There was the boys lacrosse team practicing outside to my right and to my left were boys playing basketball. Wanting to show off I started shaking my rear end a bit more as I walked. I don't remember why but I then started running. "Let's fly!" I thought. A second later, my next thought was "I'm lucid! This is a dream!" So I started flying and yelling "I'm dreaming" as I flew.

I felt the dream fading and things starting to go black, kind of like when you close your eyes and press on your eyelids. I concentrated on remaining lucid. The next scene was different, but I was still lucid. I don't remember what it was, but I do remember I didn't like it so I changed it.

The next thing I know I'm on a bed with a guy's face between my legs. He then climbed on top of me and we took our pants off. We started to... you know... and I sensed the dream fading again. I concentrated hard on it staying then things got weird. I had a false awakening but this false awakening was half dreaming and half awake. I was still in the lucid dream but I could feel myself lying in my bed. I knew it was almost time for me to wake up for work. I heard someone moving around downstairs so I thought it was Matthew coming home from work. I heard someone come up the stairs and then I heard a knock on my bedroom door (I keep the door locked at night when I sleep). That is when I really woke up.

I didn't know if the noises of someone downstairs was a dream or if it were real. So I got up out of bed and opened the door. No one was there. I called Matthew and he was still at work.

It was actually pretty funny.

Now, for anyone who reads this, I have a question:

Once I become lucid in a dream, what should I do to practice my control over it not fading so quickly? It seems everytime I find myself lucid it quickly fades away even if I'm not surprised or excited about it. Is there anything I should do during my waking hours to help with my lucid sleeping hours?

**Twoshadows** · 06-02-2007 07:57 PM

Cute picture of you and Matthew.

And congrats on the LD last night.

But I don't have a really good answer to your question. I have just recently started having this problem. So I haven't had a chance to figure out a good solution that works for me. I know there are lots of threads on this board about this topic--because it's a fairly common problem. Maybe if you do a search, you will find something that will work for you.

**The Cusp** · 06-03-2007 03:52 AM

In answer to your question, I find the best way to maintain lucidity is to completely ignore the dream scene you are in. Ignore the dream characters and their problems, and focus only on the goals you have set for your self.

There are two main pitfalls to lucid dreaming: Waking up and losing lucidity. THe blackness you described in that last lucid sounded like you were on the verge of waking up. To prevent waking, I like to fly. But anything with an intense feeling of movement will help anchor you in the dream. A lot of pple use spinning, but I find that technique unreliable, both in my experience and from what I've read of other people's dreams. Jumping and running work as well, but the key is to focus on the feeling of movement. Of course once you do it a few times, it becomes easy. I never wake up from lucids anymore.

As for control, there are many types. Every type of lucid skill has it's learning curb, such as flying or walking through walls. The more you do it, the better you get.

**meggyfayephotography** · 06-04-2007 12:48 PM

Dream:

It was a very dark and dreary dream. Don't remember too much. Steve, from school, could see dead people. They could see and harm him too. No one believed him. All of the events lead up to the big dramatic ending. I don't remember all of the events and I more or less remember the dramatic ending.

I was in my psychology class. I was handing in my research paper a week early because I wasn't going to be there the following Monday for class to hand it in due to my 21st birthday. The instructor became incredibly upset and I told her that I've worked really hard with every assignment she's given me so she had no reason to be upset that I was missing just one class. I was also confused as to why she was upset because I was being responsible and handing in a huge research paper early as opposed to late. She said something about if I was trying so hard then I should have more detail in facts in my papers than what I do, which I really had pleanty of to receive and A on the paper. I left to go downstairs.

I went downstairs and found myself with other friends from school on a dock by a lake. There was some horrible accident and Steve was cast into the middle of the lake floating on a piece of wood. He was freaking out because he could see dead bodies all around him. I was freaking out with my friends because we didn't know how to get to him. I jumped into the lake to go and help save him. When I got to him I was trying to calm him down by telling him that the dead bodies were, well, dead, and they couldnt harm him.

"They're dead right?" I asked.
Then before he could answer I turned my gaze away from him and saw hundreds upon hundreds of dead bodies floating in the water. They slowly started moving towards us.
"Yes..." He said with a trembling voice. He was trying to convince himself as well that they couldnt harm us.

It started to get hazy after that. I'd like to say that we made it back to shore ok, but I'm really not sure. I could have woken up before we were safe for all I know.

And I really am handing in my paper tonight too in psychology. And my birthday really is next monday so I'm skipping class to spend the night out with Matthew. And I'm so exctied! Good thing I know my instructor really wont flip out like in my dream!!! Hahaha. I'll have to tell her about it, she'll find it funny!

Ok, off to work! ...more like off to "work" to work on school work! Oh the joys of being a college student who works on campus!

That's some creepy stuff there. It makes me view your signature picture in a new light. Those floating bottles are really starting to scare me.

**meggyfayephotography** · 06-06-2007 07:30 PM

Long, busy day today. Work and errands. Now I'm taking a break before school tonight. I had a really weird dream last night that's kind of scattered.

Dream:

I remember Matthew and I being in a city away from home. We were staying in a home that was not in a good part of the town. I had to leave for work and I didn't want to leave him there alone because I didn't know what he was going to do (I often get paranoid that he'll do something I don't approve of due to past relationship experiences... it's an issue I'm working on.). So I left for work.

Next thing I remember I'm walking up a sidewalk of a very large and busy street in the good part of town. Someone was being chauffered in a tan car, I think it was my sister and her boyfriend, and they told me the adoption was a success, or something along those lines. I kept having visions of the little girl they adopted peeing an incredibly excessive amount of blood. I yelled my sister as she started driving off that it wasn't good and she needed to take her to the hospital. She didn't believe me or listen to me and drove off.

I found myself sitting on the side of the road, on a stone wall that lead to a park with really green grass. I sat along the wall and (this is that part that sticks out the most to me) across the street I saw a WHOLE BUNCH OF OSTRICHES. They weren't colored normally black and white in my dream, they were like a dolphin blue color. I was afraid they were going to peck my face. Someone around me said that they wouldn't hurt me. I remember one of them coming right in front of me just a foot away and I was afraid it was going to peck my face.

Then I woke up.

So it's 11:18AM and I finally got a break to write this down. I wish I had time to earlier because I only remember after a certain point.

Dream:

I was at some really large building. I was unsure of what it was at this point. I was there with my sister, her 8 month old daughter and her old friend from years ago. All of a sudden something triggered in my head and I knew I was dreaming. I'm lucid! I tried to fly just to make sure, and I flew! I told my sister, Lisa, and her friend, Heather, that if they told themselves they were dreaming that they, too, could fly. Lisa said out loud that she was dreaming and she started flying. I had her daughter, Sophie, in one arm and held Heather's hand with the other. For some reason she was refusing to say that she was dreaming. Because I was holding Heather's hand, she was able to fly. I was her connection to flying in a dream. We were in mid-air, up really high. "Come on, if you just say that you're dreaming you'll be able to fly." She didn't want to. I told her that as long as she's holding my hand, she'll be safe flying with me. I let go of her hand for a short second and she began to fall. I quickly held her hand again trying not to drop Sophie.

It was then that I realized where we were. It was a really weird aquarium. It was outdoors, but the outdoor part was just a bunch of fish tanks like in a pet store. And there were very weird fish in them. Some were like dragon/monster/dinosaur things that looked small in the tank. If you got close enough to the tank they would pop their head out and try to eat you. We quickly went inside.

Inside was not an aquarium at all. It was like a really big family renunion. But the only people I recognized were my sister, Sophie and my uncle. I gave Sophie back to her mother and went over to my uncle. "If you tell yourself you're dreaming you'll be able to fly." And then I demonstrated my flying. He seemed less than amused. I flew away.

I don't know if the rest of the dream was just cloudy for me or what, I think I may have just woken right up (I really had to pee and was having a hard time staying asleep after I woke up from that dream. But sometimes I'm too lazy to get up!). It was a great LUCID dream though! The longest one I've had yet! It was really a break through, too! It was the first lucid dream I've had (knowing I was lucid and knowing what lucid means) where I was able to stay asleep after realizing I was dreaming! The dream also seemed a lot longer than my details make it out to be. There was a lot of flying. I should set sort of task for myself soon so I do things other than flying. But for right now, I'm just working on remaining lucid when I realize I am. One step at a time, right?

I also remember at one point in the dream that I was shaking my head at something and closed my eyes for a second. Then I realized that if I close my eyes and shake my head, I may change my dream scene. So I opened my eyes and shook my head. I thought it was cool that I realized that in my dream though. I think I made a lot of good progress last night. My dream recall really is helping my lucidity. This dream journal stuff really works!

Yay for Meg!
