This Lucid Business is STRANGE

[redrover]

Alright so after having my first lucid after joining this forum, I've had a few weird occurances in my dreams. Firstly, a dream I had a few nights ago where I was not very lucid... I dreamt that my brother stole and crashed a car. And then the next day (still in my dream), I dreamt I was talking to my dad & brother about it (saying I thought it was a dream) and they seemed to know what I was talking about. So I thought to myself, "is it possible for 3 people to have the same dream?" Then my dad said, no, it wasn't a dream. Then he started philosophizing about dreams and dreaming. Yesterday, I had MY SECOND LUCID!! WOOO! Again, this was during a daytime nap. This is the first nap I've taken since my last lucid-nap. I think these are what really work for me. It was another DILD. Unfortunately, I didn't like my dream situation so I shouted WAKE UP WAKE UP in my head... but I had a false awakening!! My dream scenario changed but I was so convinced I was awake that I didn't want to do anything stupid (like punch someone I didn't like) or anything cool (like jump out of a building and fly). DAMN those false awakenings! They ruined my lucid experience! Now yesterday NIGHT, I had a dream in which I was a bit lucid at certain points in the dream. Now at one point, I dreamt I was helping escort some king/queen w/e through the forest. I was walking ahead of the carriage with someone else (we were carrying guns, but the bandits were using bows and arrows.. go figure). And then I experienced a bit of dejavu (while in my dream) and I demanded that the other gaurd and I position ourselves in a certain way that would give us the best advantage. Now the strange thing is, the rationale I used was, "BECAUSE THIS WAS HOW IT WAS IN ANOTHER DREAM!" My poor dream-buddy... wonder what he must have thought. Hahaha. Anyways, this feels like the key to being able to recreate dreams. It was a small step, but hopefully I can expand from this!

Perfectly normal I fink. I've had dreams that use things from other dream places, and dream people in new dreams from old dream places. It's all a bit convoluted.

The mind becomes a conspiracy when we sleep. All at it, trying to make you believe this business is real when its obviously a dream... so me "finks". haha, random~ dats cool about your dream though! I kinda know what your talking about when you were like, "oh this was in my other dream" ecxept its when I wake up that I realise. Like I'll go back to a place that was in my other dream, and I'll have some recolection of the place. conspiraces. thats all I can say.

"BECAUSE THIS WAS HOW IT WAS IN ANOTHER DREAM!" I've had dreams JUST like that before, where I didn't even really remember the other dream, I just knew that it had happend before. Like one time, I dreamed I was out in the woods talking to some fairy people, and I wasn't actually very lucid, but I realized that this seemed familiar, and there was going to be a huge stampede! So I ran in a supermarket telling them about the stampede (I gave the same reasoning that you did) but no one believed me. Sure enough, there was a huge stampede that crashed through the store, but it was weird: there were buffalo, deer, aligators, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, birds, tons of other exotic animals, and FOOTBALL PLAYERS from my school.
