Had a near miss in one of my dreams last night, one of my goals for when I become lucid is simple manipulation like changing the color of an object. I was walking somewhere in my dream and thought to myself "If this was a dream, I could change the color of that door" and when I thought about the door changing color nothing happened so I continued on. It's great that that kind of stuff is showing up more often but frustrating how close I was There were also a couple other times where something seemed off but I would quickly be distracted by what was going on in the dream.

I notice my recall is definitely improving from practicing with memory exercises and that my dreams are beginning to develop more of a story rather than just random bits and pieces. Working with ADA is starting to significantly help with overall awareness while awake which is carrying over into dreams, I think that with a couple more weeks of practice I'll get the hang of it more and begin having some real lucids I just need to be sure to stick to my routine of becoming aware first while asking myself if I'm dreaming, then doing reality checks, and I need to be sure that I am diligent about it and not just brushing it off too quickly.
