Before I went to bed last night, I just knew that I was about to have a lucid dream. I just had this feeling. So my dream recall has been amazing this week. In the past five days I've recalled 29 dreams or so. I started doing reality checks again from wednesday. I've read through my dream journal before I went to bed and I kept repeating this mantra: "I must be dreaming" until I fell asleep. It started of as a normal dream. I was working in some sort of lab. And my job was to mix the chemicals. It was quite dark in the room and all the furniture seemed so old. For some reason I said to myself: "Hey, I must be dreaming". So I tried to push my finger through the palm of my hand, it worked and I was lucid. I was really happy. But 5 seconds later everything turned black and I "woke up". It was a false awakening and I forgot to do a reality check. I've had 9 lucid dreams so far. And with 4 of them, I woke up immediately right after I realise that I'm dreaming. I'm quite happy with this lucid dream. I've got my motivation back. But why do I keep waking up before I can even stabilize my dream? I really need to do something about that, but I don't know what.
