hehe, thanks guys. And yeah, waking up in a puddle would've seriously sucked.. I don't think I'd have ever heard the end of it. The purple stream dream wasn't lucid, just very vivid.

I think the reason why I haven't had lucid dreams in so long is that my sleep schedule is pretty messed up.. the majority of my time in the army was spent staying up until one or two am, and getting up at 6 in the morning.. I'd make up for it by sleeping in on the weekends.
