A week or so after I first became interested in lucid dreaming I had a near miss. I performed a reality check which involved changing the colour of a wall (stupid one i know). I couldn't change it so instead decided to go to my house and see if i was in bed or not .. I got to my house, checked my room, and my bed was empty... "ahh, cant be dreaming after all"... Just to make sure however i asked the family if i was dreaming or not.. They said no.. and i said... "Oh, nevermind then"...

Never trust dream characters, they be liars, all of them!
