I was laying in my bed, I knew it was a dream, so I started rubbing my hands (to make the dream more vivid), each time they touched the dream seemed to fade away until I finally woke up.
It was so real, the only reason I know I was dreaming it's because when I woke up and wrote it in my dream journal it was still dark (around 4:00AM) yet in the dream it was sunny outside. As to how I was aware that I was dreaming in the dream, I have no idea.
So my question is:
WHY THE HELL DID RUBBING MY HANDS HAD THE OPPOSITE EFFECT IN MY FIRST (and probably only) LUCID DREAM!?
