Taekwondo, School, Doctor Who, and breaking into lucidity.

This morning after falling asleep at 10:30 AM, I experienced a lucid dream that happened out of nowhere.

The beginning, as I recall, I was at my Taekwondo Dojang ready to practice. My instructor asked me if I was ready to train, and I was eager to and said yes. Immediately after, I realized that I had forgotten my uniform at home, and asked if it would be acceptable for me to leave and come back. The response given by my instructor was yes, and I proceeded to leave my school.

After, I recall being on a road in my town driving, heading back to my school. Once there, I was at what was supposed to be my school's dining hall, but it looked nothing like it. As it turns out, I was meeting a girl there for a date. I don't recall much of the date, but I walked out and asked her for her number. Prior to that, I remember discussions pertaining to classes taking place, as well as textbooks being pulled out.

Finishing my apparently successful date, I took a walk around campus alone. Near the library, I spotted the Tenth Doctor standing outside of the TARDIS, although rather than it being blue, it was a red, traditional telephone booth that are common to see on the streets of the United Kingdom.

I walked over and was immediately granted permission to enter the TARDIS. The inside, unlike what is typical of Doctor Who, was merely the inside of a normal telephone booth, but it was larger and had enough space to move around, though seemingly less in comparison to the TARDIS I'm used to.

Rather than the fast travel I'm used to seeing, it was as though I was a passenger on a flight. The tenth doctor stood to the side and a driver operated the flying phone booth, and I stood in one spot observing where we were headed. Passed by a lot of natural sightings, and our eventual stop was a fair that took place in the middle of a field.

Landing and getting out, it was at that moment I broke into lucidity. I could feel the dream fading, and instinctively, I identified it as being far too excited, which apparently causes one to fall out of the lucid state. I started doing deep abdominal breathing in the dream whenever I felt myself losing consciousness in the dream. Continued walking with the tenth doctor in the fair, and seeing as I was completely conscious and knew that he was a dream character, I asked a simple question:

"What is the meaning of life?"

After asking, my environment started becoming distorted and felt dark. Feelings of discomfort grew and I found it hard to calm myself like I did earlier. The tenth doctor gave me this response:

"You're ridiculous."

I then found myself in my own bed, having a difficult time coming back to a full state of consciousness. In any case, I have not had a lucid dream in some time, and it was pleasant to have one again.
