This morning I had my first ld where I could alter my surroundings. It was the second dream of the night. My first one had ended and I was started to feel my self falling out of REM and in my head I said LD NOW! The second dream began. I was in a theatre lobby/lounge and people were all dressed up and I was merely observing from the sidelines. I decided at some point that the lights need to go way down so the lights dimmed to near darkness. Then I wanted extreme brightness, it was like I was physically using the dimmer switch. This is pretty advanced for me, I was so excited and happy. I can't wait till my next LD, I can't wait to try something new.

My recall is pretty good, as long as I jot down some basic points about the dream a few minutes after waking.

Yea!! I am doing a happy dance right now...woohoo!
