False Awakening, watching my lucid dream on recording!

[darknightedlady]

6/17/2010 (lucid) moon phase: one quarter, waxing (My dream began with my dog having metal sticking in his foot, so my dad takes it out and my husband holds my dogs paw, so I can add peroxide. Then, my mom and I are in the backyard, looking for things that might hurt my dog. She talks about suing the previous owners. I walk by a rotting tree trunk, with flys, and some of them are coming at me.) I realize I am dreaming and see my mom and sense a cameraman next to me. I walk toward my mom and know I am being recorded. I hold up my hand and tell her not to say anything, because I didn't want to lose my lucid. I say to her, I know you want me to accomplish a task, but I want to do something fun...like, bounce on top of a big marshmellow! I tried to manifest it, closed my eyes and jumped, but landed on my back, hitting the ground. I open my eyes and have a false awakening. My mom explains that the cameraman was able to capture my lucid on film (how cool would that be)!! I watch and see myself with long wavy brown hair and I was younger and healthier. I am walking and I have a goofy look on my face, with eyes half open (like I am trying to stay awake), mouth opened in a state of awe. I am smiling and kind of wobbly. It was crazy and funny observing this! During the dream, I realized that to gain lucidity, I am trying to keep my eyes open...how true. I loved this lucid/false awakening experience! Other notes: had a couple beers and chinese food, staying at hotel, off by 3 hours time zone. As an aside, chinese food usually assists in strange dreams .

Ah, yes. Chinese food will give very some odd dreams.
