Hi everyone! I'm new to this site, but have been dreaming lucidly for years and years.
A couple weeks ago, after having (forgive me, mom!) lucid dream sex with an incredibly beautiful, sensuous woman, I chose to simply lie next to her in bed, looking at her, and she at me. Even though I'm always amazed at the power of the mind to create the vivid dream images that I see before me, this one was....special. The look in her big brown eyes was such a positively "in love" look, that it took me aback. She just lay there, a few inches away, looking at my mouth, my nose, my eyes. She brought her hand up to my chest and lightly dragged her fingers over me. It was such a REAL feeling, that I had to concentrate to keep the dream alive and lucid.

Well, I'll stop short of turning this into a chapter from a cheesy romance novel, but a minute before the dream faded and I awoke, I saw that she had tears running down her cheek and onto the pillow. She looked at me and said, "I know I'm not real, and as soon as you wake up....I'll be gone. Sharing this bed with you has been like sharing the world, the womb, and a secret with a twin."
I wrote that last sentence down as soon as I woke up. I have never written much poetry, but that one line is better than anything I've ever come up with in my waking life.
Sappy, I know, but it reminded me that the very best lucid dreams I've experienced have been the ones where I'm not rushing around like a kid in a candy store. The best ones involve sitting still and concentrating on what's right in front of me. If we could apply that to waking life, I think we'd all be a lot happier. Thanks for reading!
