Interesting Recurring Dream

For the second time last night, I had a dream that I was sent to a fictional college jail, which is actually like a nightclub I visit often, so it's not a jail at all. I got sent to the jail because I made an illegal U-turn. I wanted to escape the jail. I was nice to the staff and got released earlier than my one day sentence.

A few things stand out to me:

1. The jail is administered by my college.
2. The jail is a nightclub.
3. I wanted to escape.

Recently, I've decided to stop going to clubs and bars so much. Perhaps, the dream is telling me that the nightclub is no good? I think it might also signify that I feel trapped by my college, which I do.

-- One more thing, immediately after I was released from the jail, it occurred to me "that was a dream" because I realized the jail was fictional and I had been there before so it couldn't be real. Right after that realization, I woke up. So, am I close to lucidity if I can realize that?

You seemed to awnser all your interpetaions. This Recourring dream could really work to your advantge when it comes to lucudity.

That always happens to me too, once I realize that I am dreaming the scene turns hazy and I wake up. Anyways, I agree with the post below yours saying that you answered most of your interpretations. I read that spinning in your dream helps after you become lucid so you do not wake up, but I am new to this whole thing so maybe something else can help you more :P
