Thanks, dolphin. I will try to incorporate that into my regimen. I'm looking forward to having more lucids.
And I think I'm going to give that a shot, Sunfire. I attempted a WILD this morning but was not successful. I had a short dream, but I lost focus by that point and was not lucid. I awoke to the "noise" in the way of body vibrations. I tried to stay very still to reenter the dream, but I became more awake over time.
And sure, I don't mind answering at all. I understand that dreams can be personal to some and that some dreams are personal, but I don't feel a sense of privacy regarding most of my dreams.
I'll try to exercise my brevity as much as possible.
As far as the moments of attaining lucidity, the first one was a combination of a few things happening in quick succession. The first lucid I had was set in a church with my father that had me attend as a child, my father then making a joke, laughing, and resting his head on my head and shoulder, which made me feel weird and hot, and then me looking down at my body to see I was shirtless. I then became lucid after realizing my shirt was gone. That is the first time the odd apparel dreamsign occurred, and I did recognize it. But since then, I have not recognized during the dream the last three times it has happened. I'll be aware that it's strange and feel self-conscious but do not have enough of the "critical faculty" to become lucid.
The second, I was standing behind a business in town and noticed it was too dark and seemed surreal. At night there are plenty of LED street lights in this area which illuminate the parking lot IWL. When I noticed this I became suspicious that I was dreaming while talking to a guy I know behind the building. I quickly said bye to try and do an RC to confirm I was dreaming. When I realized I was dreaming, my dream vision went away. I wandered back to my car, lucid but blind, for about 15 seconds or so. When I found my vehicle I lost my lucidity. I remained suspicious that I was dreaming for awhile, testing out the acceleration of my car and things like that, but remained convinced it was not a dream.
The third time me, my sister, and my mother were riding in a vehicle while my sister's partner drove. He was speeding. I asked him to slow down and he wouldn't. We then came upon a 90-degree turn where he tried to overcompensate by braking and turning and the vehicle flipped. I was ejected but somehow fine. I came back to the vehicle to check on them. I couldn't see them anywhere. I flipped the vehicle over and started pulling it apart. I thought they had been crushed. As I was doing this I realized I was dreaming. I stopped what I was doing to look at my hands. I then knew I was dreaming as my hands were changing shapes before my vision.
There have been a couple of other times I don't consider to have been lucid where I'll be dreaming and at the end of the dream as it's fading I'll see nothing but white and know I'm dreaming. I want to be back in the dream so try to stay still but I still seem to wake up each time.
