In reality, I have stopped smoking cigarette since June 17th, 2014.

In some of my dreams lately, I'm smoking and it's always a trigger to try and become lucid, but last night I couldn't convince myself that I was dreaming despite reality checks. I don't remember all of the reality checks that I did, but I know I tried looking at my hands and at the time and at my phone and surroundings and felt convinced I was not dreaming. I may have even tried plugging my nose, all I remember is that nothing I tried worked to convince myself I was dreaming. Yet I was dreaming.

Maybe I just need to learn some more effective Reality Checks

I have continuously been trying to pull winning lottery numbers from a lucid dream. I can say that I came very close!
In my dream I was driving and there was a huge billboard that had the winning lottery numbers displayed on it. As soon as I drove past the billboard I remembered "oh yea, I'm dreaming- I should turn around and be sure to remember those numbers"
Only to find that when I turned around, the billboard was plain white and the dream would not show me the numbers again!
Oh well.. I'll keep trying

I have a friend in reality that i'm pretty close with and we often talk about our dreams with eachother. One night she told me sometimes she has dreams where she's driving through the woods, not scared or alarmed in anyway, not on a dirt path through some trees.. just driving straight through the woods. And i realized that a few nights prior to our conversation i had a dream that i was in the car with her, and we weren't talking to eachother in the dream, but i remember looking around and we were driving through the woods. I could tell just by watching her drive in the dream that there was no reason to be alarmed, even though we were starting to go pretty fast and at points we were going airborne when she'd go over large hills or mounds.

I knew we had to have had the same dream because she described everything exactly as i remembered in the dream; she even mentioned a point where we were completly free falling, like we had drove off a cliff, but we weren't falling fast, and when we hit the bottom, it wasn't a hard thud, it was like we drifted down slowly and landed softly on the bottom..

I've never had someone else describe a dream i felt, so well. The only thing was, she said she didn't remember me being in the dream.. and we had discovered we both had the dream the same night (a few days before we talked about it) maybe she didn't know i was there in the dream because we didn't speak.. i didn't make myself known, i was simply along for the ride i guess and i just watched..

In reality, my radio keeps going off for no reason, and i have took into the consideration that it may be some sort of spirit or something trying to tell me something.. In my next lucid dream i was going to ask who keeps turning my radio on for no reason; I was only asleep for 2 hours before i went lucid. here's how the dream went:

i was at my old house that i haven't lived in 5 years and was playing w/ my cellphone (i have an LG slider phone w/ the full keyboard) and i was trying to slide it open and closed, but it was like falling apart and wouldn't slide right; then i remembered that electronics don't work well in dreams and i gained lucidity; I remembered my goal and asked outloud "who has been turning my radio on?" all of a sudden my phone rang in the dream, and there was a Hispanic woman on the other end crying. She was crying so hard, and her accent was thick it was hard to understand her.

I asked what her name was, and it sounded like she said "Linda Gomez" but i couldn't understand for sure her last name because of her accent. I asked her how to spell it, and all of a sudden i heard a mans voice say "this gesture is not allowed" and then i started hearing different frequencies of voices, it sounded like there were 5 people talking, and maybe even some music playing. Then the radio in my dream went off for no reason, and it was playing a heavy metal song that said something like "while the bodies are all burning" and i tried to change the station, but no matter what station i changed it to, it kept playing the same song so i unplugged it.
Then i started having false awakenings of waking up and writing this down and calling a friend to tell them about it.

The dream started to break up a little, because i thought i was awake in reality, but really i wasn't. I remember waking up (in my dream) and going to my parents room to tell them the disturbing encounter; my parents were having some sort of party in their room w/ glowsticks, and my dad offered me a glowstick as a nightlight, but the light in it was faded.

i went back to my room in the dream, and felt a body fall on me, there was a weight holding me down on the bed, but no one was there. When the weight lifted, i saw a man leaving my room about in his early 20's i thought i recognized him but couldn't think of his name. i started to wake a little in reality but was experiencing some sleep paralysis. when i could finally move my body again, i wrote down the dream in reality and called my friend, who happened to have their phone on them at 3 in the morning and they calmed me down. i fell back asleep and don't remember my dream after that.

i just remember seeing a girl in my dream i actually haven't seen in about 7 or 8 years, so i knew i was dreaming but didn't do anything about it i just let the dream take it's course. and the only other thing i remember was being in this huge hotel, and the lobby was like a huge swimming pool.
i tried setting hourly alarms on my phone to make a beep every hour, hoping that if i heard it, it would remind me to go lucid. but it didn't work and i ended up sleeping for almost 12 hours.
i woke up after 1 alarm, and remembered to try not to move and just recall the dream, but i laid so stiff that i just fell back asleep and didn't write anything down! ugh. well hopefully better luck tonight.
