Last night my sister called long-distance, and kept me up late on the phone. As a result I was extremely tired when I woke up, but having to stay awake and keep my kids in check (Ages 2&3 1/2) I was sitting on the couch cuddling with my 2 year old daughter, and waiting for my son's school bus to arrive. This is where the dream starts: I am sitting there as I was just before falling asleep, when I decided to go into my son's room to look out of the window to see if the bus was coming. when I walked in the room was completely clean, and there was a wash cloth hanging at the top of the window. I instantly said "Shit I am dreaming" and knowing that I was not supposed to be asleep, I woke myself immediately.
Funny because if you want to count this, then all 3 lucids occurred after (1) I was awake for at least a couple minutes. (2) My dreams contained what was actually happening in reality at that exact moment. (3) each started with a false awakening in my house, and contained my children immediately.
I used to be a pot smoker, but I did not dream then, now 2 months after quitting my dreams are back, and I am starting to realize the fact that I am dreaming again. I say again because I used to have lucid dreams when I was younger before being a pot-head. LOL. But back then, I thought everyone had lucid dreams, and I never knew that I could make my own decisions during a dream!
