About 2-3 months ago I was talking to my mum and a few family friends about lucid dreaming and although they expressed some interest they ultimately said "but it's not real" and refused to believe that a lucid dream could be anything like real life. This kind of annoyed me a little because I felt like they were shooting down some of my lucid experiences that I found to be very important. I continued to talk about it though and explained that for some people it's quite a spiritual thing and they believe you can dream share or contact people who have died (which is not my personal belief). Again they kinda didn't listen and looked at me like I was crazy so I said I would try and contact my great grandma, my mums grandma, and get her to tell me something I couldn't possibly know.

Around the beginning of May I found my great grandma in a lucid dream and we spoke for a while. She told me to say hello to my mum and my auntie when I wake up. I asked her if she could tell me something I wouldn't know and she said she remembered helping my mum when she hurt her hand. I woke not long after this and was a little disappointed. To me that didn't really seem like anything big. It seemed stupid. I concluded that I didn't really speak to my dead great grandma and instead it was just my subconscious and nothing more than a dream. I didn't bother sharing this with my mum because I felt she would just laugh at it.

Anyway I told her about the dream last night and she seemed interested. Then I got to the part about my great grandma helping my mum when she hurt her hand. She just stared at me for ages and then said "Yeah but I must have told you about that." I was really confused. She then showed me a scar from when she put her hand in some glass as a very young child. I had never known that. Now I'm still not saying I really talked to my great grandma. After all a grandma helping her grandchild is a pretty standard thing. I'm sure we've all had that experience. Still I find this to be pretty interesting and if there's one good thing to come out of this my mum no longer thinks lucid dreaming is stupid
