I never knew about this lucid dreaming until last year after watching "Waking Life". After the first viewing, I became interested. No luck and time went on. In the past 2 weeks I regained my interest by watching the movie again 2 times. I am pretty sure I lucid dreamed last Wednesday, but not sure. Here is what happened. I was standing near a fountain talking to a friend (I don't recall what we were talking about) but I said, I am dreaming. Everything went black. When my dream came back, I was back with my friend at the fountain, but was unable to get my friend to talk back to me. I said to myself that since this was a dream I am controlling for myself there is no way I can get other people to talk. Meanwhile I could feel my bed, and myself laying in bed. The last thing I remember was saying maybe I am not dreaming after all. Did I do something wrong? Is this not lucid dreaming? I have never before told myself in a dream, that I am dreaming. What did I do wrong? What should I have done?
