First lucid since joining!!!

[stjimmy]

Las night I had my first real lucid dream since joining! In my dream, I was in my high school (I actually left high school years ago in RL) and I was in the principal’s office. She was explaining to me that I was not going to be graduating from high school because I had failed a course in my final semester. I could not believe that was happening and while I sat there in awe listening to the principal, realization started dawning on me. “Wait a minute, this isn’t possible, I don’t fail courses…” Then I looked around me and more realization came. “This doesn’t even look like my highschool, what the f*** is going on?” And then, BAM! It hit me. “I’m dreaming!” I was so sure I didn’t even do RC’s. I just stood up and ran out of the principal’s office in ecstasy. I ran through the halls of the school, laughing and screaming, knocking people over, until I finally found an exit and ran onto the grounds. The first person I saw outside was ‘A’. ‘A’ was the typical geeky kid who nobody paid any attention to because he was always hidden in the library. In RL, this guy, several years later, is now a computer genius and works for Microsoft. When I saw ‘A’, he was walking along with his shoulders hung down and the usual droopy look on his face. I saw him and grabbed him by the shoulders, shaking him. “Hey! Cheer up! You’re going to end up working for Microsoft! You’re going to make a lot of money!” And he was like “Wait, what?” And I just said “Trust me, I know, by the year 2012 (yeah, I got the year wrong, oops) you’re going to be a Microsoft big shot, so cheer up!” And I left him there with a stunned look on his face and kept running to find my friends. Once I did find them, the rumor apparently had started spreading, because I was met with “Dude, is it true? Are you really from the future?” And I actually told everyone I was from the future and they were all buying it and it was so funny. I kept going around the school greeting old friends until I found ‘R’, who confronted me for hooking up with his girlfriend (which, sadly, actually did happen back in high school, I’m not proud of it). At this point the dream started dissolving and for some reason I didn’t try to stop it, so I just woke up. Still, I felt completely exhilarated and I haven’t been able to stop smiling all day! Woooo! I want to give a special thanks to everyone here who has helped me, especially Serenity for letting me in her course and Puffin who has been particularly helpful on several occasions. Yeah!

NOOOO! Not the back-to-school dream! I have this all the time. I always either have to retake a final exam, or turn in some huge project. That stressful feeling of being completely unprepared is awful. That feeling of having to redo something you thought you already completed. I guess all that stress from school has permanently imprinted on our minds. Good job catching the dream sign. You turned it into an amazing dream.

Yeah it was definitely cool! Also, I have noticed that all the times I've ever became lucid it is during stressful dreams. Maybe the stress causes something to click in your mind.

"I don't fail courses". Lmfao, awesome read. It's great isn't it? Realizing you're dreaming... It never gets old.

[stjimmy]

Haha thats amazing Ive been doin reality checks in real life but I doubt that I ever will actually do one in a dream because when Im dreaming it will just click for me too sometimes. I havent even had a lucid dream since joining. meaning Ive never became lucid by doing a reality check I just know.

[stjimmy]

Hang in there dude, it'll happen before you know it.

I will probably never use a reality check in a dream. Its normally pretty obvious when I figure out that Im dreaming and doing a RC would be kinda pointless.
