3 lucids + dreamchaining all in my 1 hour nap! Very happy!

[LucidNightmares]

So I lied down for a rest at around 8 p.m and unintentionally fell asleep. I was having a dream, a quite long one for a nap. I won't go into much details, but at one point I was reading some stickers. I can read very clearly in my dreams, but I noticed that the words were nonsense. They made no sense at all, and in that moment I jumped back and said "I'm dreaming!" Sadly throughout all of these dreams I had the constant need to go to the bathroom, so in all 3 they were very short and hard to maintain due to that fact. After the first lucid started fading away, I woke back up in the middle of dreaming and consciousness, and began re imagining a scene. A room formed where I was apparently living with roomates. The dream went along as a normal dream for awhile, and again I managed to knock myself into lucidity with something or other. I left the room and went into a bedroom where I looked at my hands as usual, rubbed them, told myself I was dreaming. I spun around to face away from the bed and said "big beautiful lush field!" I spun back around and the entire wall opened up to reveal what I had wanted. As I walked through I did one of the techniques I had read about to help cement your dream body, where you gently flex your muscles from your toes up to your head. I made sure to keep saying my "clarity now"'s, because at that point I didn't know why my dreams were being so short. I enjoyed the feel of the grass on my toes before my dream faded again. And again, I woke up in that crucial moment of not awake but not asleep, and again began forming another scene. This one I feel like I was put into the scene already lucid, and here I practiced with some more environmental changing. After about an hour of sleeping, I woke up all the way, i.e my eyes actually opened. At that time I realized all my dreams were so short because I needed to pee >_> and my body was trying to wake me up fully so I'd get up and go to the bathroom. I was pretty bummed, but at the same time really happy I had managed 3 dream chains (if that's the right term?) anyway, just thought I'd share my experience! All of this further cements my notion that naps are my go to for lucids.

"I had the constant need to go to the bathroom" This sounds extremely familiar to my dreams..Anyways congrats on all the lucids,and finding when you are at your best.I have similar experiences to yours in that when my recall gets to say 6 pages a night,I know when i'm out of the dream.I'll just know im awake while looking at the backs of my eyelids,and from their I usually try to WILD instead of visualising a new scene.I'm not the best at that..I just love how real life needs seep into dreams,weather it's going to the bathroom,hunger,or anything of that nature.So good job,and hopefully next time they're more stable for you.

I think having to pee can actively make us lucid. Also my lucid brain is so mean, I had to pee this morning when I was in an LD and what do you know? It's in my dream underwear. My lucid brain told me I had peed myself. I knew this was likely not true and went about my business, and sure enough, when I woke up, I hadn't gone peepee in my pants. Lucky and unlucky at the same time.
