Thread: semi-successful lucid dream

This morning I had a dream where I became lucid, and lost lucidity a few times. There were lots of crazy events in this dream but the most interesting was the water. I was with a bunch of my friends, near a river. It was winter but the water wasn't frozen (and it never occured to me that the water should be cold). There was a bridge about 4 feet wide with no hand rails crossing the river. A bunch of my friends jumped in the river and told me to come in. I refused to go in, so they all climbed up onto the bridge. They told me if I didn't jump in they were going to throw me in. At this point I decided that I had no choice but to swim with them, but for some reason I charged across the bridge and attempted to push them all in the water to try and make it across the bridge. I ended up losing my balance about half way across the bridge and jumped in. As I was falling into the water, I remember thinking "I"m dreaming, so I can breathe underwater" and as I realized it, I got excited, and woke up right as I was hitting the water. I realized I had waken up (or perhaps it was a false awakening) so I closed my eyes and willed myself back to the dream I had been in (something I've never done before). As soon as I was back in the dream, I found my self underwater with my eyes closed, experiencing something like hypnagogic imagery, but I understood it to be water currents. I was breathing water, and could feel it going through my lungs and nose, and it felt surprisingly good. I could hear the water "bubbling" in my nose, and it sounded EXACTLY like a person toking on a bong (haha). I don't remember exactly where the dream went from there, but the last thing that happened before I woke up was interesting and I wish it had continued. I was at my friend reid's house and I had just dropped some acid, and it was getting pretty intense. (more then waking life trips) I told him I had to get out of the house, and he said something about I couldn't go outside because there was an absolutely insane electrical storm coming. I woke up at this moment, but I wish I could have seen the storm, I'm going to try and go back to that situation tomorrow morning.
