Hi guys,

Apologies for the long post

Last night, I'm sure I had another LD, because I actively tried to seek out opportunities to fulfil my lucid goals, but the fact is, since a great many of my non-lucids are false lucids, by the time I went back to sleep after it and woke up for the final time (to get up) , I was second-guessing whether I was lucid at all, even though the fake ones 'feel' different somehow, and I decide I wasn't pretty quickly. Any ways to be absolutely sure? Here's the before bed situation and the dream:

Before bed, I watched the latest episode of The Apprentice (UK,) before sleeping though, my thoughts were of romance, and having a family. I went to sleep easier than usual and all was well. The first part of the dream that I remember was walking up a hill at night, in the company of Sir Alan Sugar's aide, Nick, though I don't think we were adversaries, he was just kind of there. Suddenly, the sun exploded, and it was supposedly the end of the world. My thought process was something like 'Sun explosion? Nick Hewer? Has to be a dream! The dream scene changed and I was in some kind of night club. For the first time ever I remembered I had dream goals, I thought 'right, lucid sex.' The DC I find most desirable turned up for a second, and then disappeared into thin air, so I decided to try and find him. I went through the door which was behind where he had been standing, and found myself in the public toilet. As I walked, I remember still feeling a sense of consciousness. I opened every cubicle door, and in the last, found two women having sex with one another, at this point, I woke up.

After this, I rolled over and went back to sleep, happy about the lucid. Later however, I began to question it, since I've had lots of false lucids.

1. Why lucid sex? I have over fifty goals and that one isn't really a priority. As I think about it now I remember saying in my head in-dream that I wanted to experience lucid sex with a specific DC because it would carry a certain sentimental meaning in waking life and it sounded easy enough since I didn't have to change my environment, it but has my brain just made that up afterwards? I was thinking of romantic stuff before bed, so it could be part of a normal dream disguised as a lucid.

2. I remember the very conscious feeling of walking, and thinking 'right, I'm in a lucid and I'm not sure how long this'll last, best not walk for ages' but I don't remember the sensation of pushing doors, and I usually get heightened senses in lucids.

3. I'm confusing myself by trying to remember what all my conscious thought processes were, and that makes me wonder even more, but I definitely thought I'd been lucid straight after the dream, the doubts crept in later.

Any thoughts please?

Thanks in advance
