Ok, so last night, I had two vivid dreams, and woke up at about 2:30am, went the the restroom, settled back down in bed, and reapeated to myself, "I am going to go right back to dreaming, and be lucid. I will be aware that it's a dream. I will be aware that it's a dream" And do you know what happened??? I started to dream that I was dreaming, and in the dream's dream, I hurt one of my dogs. Then when I woke up from the dream in the dream, my poor pup was still hurt. it felt aweful. I couldn't understand how she could still be hurt, if it was jus a dream. Then when I woke up for real this morning, it took me a minute to realize the whole thing was a dream. For a sec I still thought my poochie was hurt until I looked over at her. Now shouldn't I have recognized that as soon as it happened, and become lucid??? It seems like it was the exact opposite. I believed it so much, and felt emotional pain. That really sucks!!! Aaaaahhhhh!!!
