Not long after that, as I moved through my bedroom door, I woke up at 7:30am.
Nice job, Pickman, congratulations on the lucid! As I was reading your entry, it took me a second to realize that you were not in fact hitching your way along a road that passed through a Cornish village. Glad you caught your dreamsign because it looks like I missed it.

I'm glad that you took the chance to really study your hands in this one! I highly recommend using your hands to draw yourself into the dream either by studying the incredible detail that your mind can produce or simply rubbing them together. Even should you find yourself in the void, rubbing your hands together will very often keep the dream going until you can find your way into a new scene.

Another cool thing is that your hands may look different from dream to dream. In some dreams you may even find that they are almost completely lifelike apart from a small detail or two. There's a lot of variance here.

Anyhow, great job! Keep up the great work!
