Almost there...

Non-dream Dream semi-lucid ok so i almost forgot about this one, then i went. "Holy hell how COULD you forget this." I think the dream was semi-lucid, because i remember thinking "ohh wow i haven't seen them since high school, i miss them." and i also remember thinking about my actions but I didn't really didn't have total control of myself. I was walking down the Main road of my home town. I was just outside of then Between the cemetery, and the "Atlas Purina feed Store." when My mother and an hold High School friend Laura showed up. I remember thinking suddenly "Wow Laura! i miss you and your amusing political rantings." They told me I'd be in a figure skating competition. I WISH i could figure skate! that was one of my dreams when i was little, but I ripped the ligament in my right knee. I can even run any more, and i even have a light limp when i walk. I got a little excited since i love figure skating. We ducked into the Atlas feed store, and I took a deep breath. I remember there was no smell. The real Atlas Purina store smelled like Leather, dust, horse feed, and grass seed all mixed into one dreamy aroma. I grabbed my mp3 player out of nowhere, and put it on. I couldn't hear the music, but i know what i wanted to perform. I got dressed, in a white jump suit, with flare/bell bottom legs, and a vest. We then apparently skipped transit and showed up at the competition as if it was an Open Horse Show. Laura was just like "Oi! she's entering btw. K thanks let us know when it's our turn." I looked around, and saw some of the other girls, and the crowed. No one had a face worth remembering, but the commentator on a holographic TV screen. It was my figure skating friend from High School, Connie. I remember relaxing a bit, and looking around at the rink, but it wasn't a rink is was a damn obstetrical course. The rink was in a I shape with two rectangles attached through the center by another rectangle. there was also a couple rust run down trucks in the center that had to be jumped over. I remember thinking "this is figure skating Not Extreme Trail crossed with Cross country!" Laura told me i was next, and took a deep breath. I don't remember putting on skates, but i have them on now. The girl before me finished, and i stood in front of the rink waiting for my music, and then it started. "Jealous of my Boogie by RuPaul" I smiled to my self straightened up, and began to walk! I hit the ice just as the lyrics started, and i began thinking of my routine and as i thought it up, i performed it. Some of the more difficult things were fumbles or even misinterpreted by my body, but I was telling myself what to do. I jumped one car, dropped it like it was hot, while spinning on one leg, and bounded into the air over the second car. It was amazing! and so much fun, but a lot of my moves were on my left leg, or fumbled back i was worried about really fucking up my knee. I finished, and i got some applause as i left the rink. I then met Lynn, and her daughter Kenny. Some dressage folks from the barn i used to work for. They were very smug, and ignored me. I really didn't expect them to be nice so i don't know why i even said hello. My mother was gone, but Laura was there, and she told me I'd done a good job, and we just had to wait for scores. I got a 9.0066 and came in 3rd place! I got a horse book, and a nice big pink ribbon. Lynn and Kenny were very angry at my placing, and don't know why. They didn't even perform, but they didn't matter any way so I made them disappear. They just went poof. I woke up shortly after that, and I remember smiling. That dream was so fun! I didn't ever truly have control over my self, but what ever i seemed to be thinking in my head would happen to a degree. Like my Performance, and Lynn and Kenny Going 'Poof'. [edit] the music in my dream sounded as if my head phones were on! i could seriously hear the entire song as I performed my routine.[/edit] Ok since i can't post links, I'll just quote my DJ from this morning. This is the second semi-lucid dream I've had, and I can tell I've gained a little more control, but I'm not remembering the points as which I go. "Ohh hai thar. I mus be dream'n" I know I've sudden;y got control, but i don't know how. Both times though, are when I've entered a building, and expected something that wasn't there. I.E, The first time I was walking back into a house my family had been staying in. I entered the house expecting to hear sounds of my family and smell good food, and booze, but there was nothing there just an empty room. This second one was I walked into an old feed store I used to love, and i expected an old familiar smell that I didn't get. I know this is part of my reality checks, i always start with closing my eyes, and smelling.(my house right now smells of mouth was and cold sheets.) I'll then look around for something unfamiliar,or out of the ordinary. Followed by a noes plug. Is there anything i can do, or add to help me gain a little more control of myself when i realize I'm dream? or is there something i can add to my RC's?
