First of all...thank you fogelbise for your kind support.

For those reading this.......I have found that every time I post something like this here at Dream Views my lucidity spikes for a few days. I think it has something to do with formalizing my intention. I highly recommend more posting!

I have been dreaming for 67 years now. While the dreams of my youth were fantastical machinations of a youthful imagination, as I got older and began to amass countless karmic traces, I began to wander dreaming down well worn paths surrounded by real people doing very real things. These days my dreams are almost always like that. Even with building lucidity, I dream about real people doing incredibly real and normal things. That reality has been pretty much impossible to get through and my most lucid moment come when something fantastical comes from out of nowhere and shocks me into uncontrolled lucidity.

A few days ago, after posting here, I suddenly realized that the key was right there in front of me. I needed to concentrate on those very real dream characters. I spent the last two days treating everybody who came into my office as a dream character. Remembering to do that was extremely difficult at first but yesterday I began to have success.

So last night I was doing a landscape job with my old partner. Even with that nagging feeling of hovering lucidity, he was absolutely real as was everything in the dream. But as I got in my truck to back it up.....I felt lucidity blooming. I got out and walked up to him.

"You're not Digger", I said.

He looked at me and smiled...."Of course I am".

"No. No you're not. This is a dream".

He laughed....a gentle and real laugh that was not in any way mean spirited. "OK", I said...and I floated up into the air over him. I rolled over and smiled up at the blue sky.

FINALLY! Real controlled lucidity!
