Thread: Finally a lucid dream, question mark?

Hey everyone! So I had a post in the "Attaining Lucidity" forum, so I figured I would post my progress here, as i did somewhat have a lucid dream. I have had 2 or 3 lucid dreams that lasted about 5 seconds (I woke up or went back to dream logic almost immediately after realize i was dreaming within my dreams.

Here is what happened:

I got 6 hours of sleep (of course a good amount for REM). I wake up at 5:30 AM for a hospital shift from 6 AM until 2 PM. I tore my ACL not long ago and tried goin to work on crutches. They sent me home at 7:30 AM telling me I have to go home as policy says no working with crutches or a boot. I go home, and went back to bed figuring this would be a good WBTB chance, as my usual WBTB tries were few and only about 20-30 minutes.

Results:

- Had a dream about arguing with a guy and he punched me in the face. I felt real pain in my face, like a bruising sensation, and the pain in the dream nearly carried out into real life (ouch ), as I woke up a few times and realized that in real life i would try to move my body and barely move my arms and legs (also my first case of SP in my life, ever). That dream then ended and I went back to sleep with the intent to realize i was dreaming, and the following happened

- I woke up in a long corridor, and the first thing that happened is I knew i was dreaming. Not even a "realization" that surprised me, I just knew i was in the dream world. I figured now is my chance to try to visit my dream world i created (mountain and lake scenery). I tried to make it happen with my will and the walls shifted but nothing happened. I ran to the back of the hallway to look behind a window to see if maybe it was outside, but it was just raining outside (and outside was just grass and a forest). During that whole thing It was not Super clear like real life, so I still am not sure how lucid i really was. Anyways, after that I sort of lost what little control I had, and even though I still knew it was a dream, the dreaming started turning towards a sex dream with dubstep music (which is not my favorite lol). Some stuff happened and I tried closing my eyes to change the scenery, but i was still in the same place (which still made me happy because any other lucid attempt i have had, closing my eyes ended the dream). I was able to choose what girl I wanted to fool around with, and than one girl looked at me with a smile, shook her head, and the dream ended.

The weird thing is that sexual interactions is not one of my goals for lucid dreaming. I still had knowledge of myself dreaming but it seems i lost control, and was stuck in a half aware/ half dream logic state. Anyways it is good progress. This was two weeks ago about, and I was camping this past week so I look forward to trying to achieve 100% lucidity again and soon!
