How can i not realise its a dream?!!!

[jason1987]

Basically I had 5 dreams of which i could recollect last night but 3 fully remembered, the first i remember when i woke up at about 6am I tried to just remember it as i dont have a dream journal atm. After falling back to sleep i remember my second dream, It was rather brief it lasted about a minute but I was walking through a casino gambling, there was money falling out of the machines, and i decided to gamble on the cheap ones which wouldnt work...so quite a few hints that i was dreaming, Money falling out of machines, the machines not working...being in a casino in the first place. Then when i woke i up was like how did i not realise it was a dream and try a RC, I have a few in place atm, Checking my hands,checking for my wrist bands and a piece of paper in my pocket. This is where it gets really rediculous, I then had a longer dream must have lasted about 10-15 minutes. To begin with I dreamt that I was about to leave on holiday with my family, we were going to turkey, next minute i know were in turkey walking around the weather is perfect but the surrounding buildings are more like Miami or something than turkey. We decide to take a picnic on a cliff edge overlooking a beach. Thats when we start to see pigs with wings, big pigs twice the size of normal with huge winds all flying around and swooping up to us, flying around like a flock of seagulls. I was..rather than realizing how completly insane it was, I was amazed, and decided hey why dont i take some photos to show my friends, So i get my camera phone out whilst my family were taking photos on the camera I started taking a few shots of these flying pigs. I was thinking to myself so pigs really can fly i can't wait to show my friends its true. I wonder why i never seen them before. So then i decide to check my photos on the phone when i check there are none rather they are replaced by photos of webpages or blurred dark blue images. So i concluded i ran out of space on my phone. Then i ask my parents to see there camera and checked the pictures and there they were the flying pigs. ( That was a real dream and the images in my head were very vivid, I can remeber most of it pretty well now) Next minute I realise we are back at my house and im talking to a friend who i havent spoken to in ages about the holiday ( I assume this is when the dream changes or becomes something totaly different) The discussion turns to how i never speak to him often enough..But i dont recall much of if from there. Then I dream im at a swimming competition, this was a rather short dream, mostly what i can remember was someone said i bet you cant do two lengths under the water, So I go into a 3rd person view of myself swimming under the water whilst breathing and do the two lengths. HOW CAN I NOT REALISE IM DREAMING...Flying pigs, breathing underwater with 3rd person, visiting a country instantly..I mean why doesnt my mind click and say maybe i should do a reality check. Well all that in one night...I was hoping to have atleast 1 Lucid dream.
