For a few nights before last, my dreams had been showing new characteristics, such as moments I would just stop in a dream and examine something, and think "This looks so real" or "This is very detailed". However, I never became lucid during those times. But last night, I finally did.
It started out that I was being escorted through a strange building. (Not like, secret service or anything, but more like a tour group.) I was walking along, staring at the carpet, which was blue, and had a rough texture, when it dawned on me. I am dreaming! At this point, I was no longer walking, but staring at the wall to my right. I decided to do a reality check, but I only did one. I pinched my self, and oddly enough, I felt the pain. I knew I was dreaming, despite that, because I thought "I don't remember waking up, or getting to this point, I have to be dreaming." I should have tried the nose breathing technique, as well as stay put and try and stabilize the dream. But no, I decide to continue outside. As I step outside of the building, I turn around and notice that the door is closed behind me. It was metal, a light tan color. It also had a bar going across it that you push to open. I open it (not sure why) and there are 5-6 people behind it. I tell them "Hey, guys, I'm dreaming right now", and the guy closest to the door even agree's and says "Yeah, you are". The rest of them, however, act like idiots, and say "Oh, it's you birthday?" and they seem to be trying to distract me, so I decide to move on. I walked off, and tried to see if I could make things appear, but no such luck. Then I woke up, or at least I thought I had. It was false awakening. I was with my 3rd mod class, and we were at a lake, I assume trying to clean it (Environmental Problems class :p). I was no longer lucid, but I still remember telling people in it that I had a lucid dream, but didn't catch on >.< However, I woke up a while after.
This night, the Lucid was my 2nd dream. I usually go to bed at 11-12 p.m.
and have an alarm go off at like 5 a.m. and another at 7:00 a.m. (for school).
Before bed that night, I had some cheddar (Tryptophan) and a lot of Orange Juice. Too much in fact, I was extremely dizzy while trying to get to bed.
