I finally did it!......well....sorta. I just had one of the most vivid, intense lucid dreams ever and remembered this experiment during it. I had the most perfect circumstances to have a lucid dream. I just caught a flight from portland oregon to chicago. I got about 5 hours sleep on the flight. Then the time from getting off the plane til getting to my moms house and going back to sleep was between 60- and 90 minutes. Perfect! So tired from travelling I fell asleep easily and even had the thought as I was going to sleep that I should have a lucid dream in this situation. Enter dream...

I was at a family party and my cousin was showing me how she types fast and trying to teach me.(I type fast, but in my dream she could type really fast with one hand...strange). Well then a little later I heard a splash and I looked and my cousin had jumped into a pool that I only just discovered was there. She then immediately got out. SO then I thought, "why not"" so I jumped in. Thats when it happened. the most amazing feeling ever. The water around my body was so comforting. I immideately became lucid. I lost all sense of up an down and just swam around happily in the water. Then I got out and started walking around and my lucidity level climbed and climbed to one of the top levels Ive ever experenced. I could just chill out in my dream all day. Then I remembered..."gotta write a song!" and let me tell you, I could not come up with anything I hadnt already written. I gave up within a minute thinking,"Im just not in the mood to write a song, and theres so much to do right now!" Ive had dreams that were different with writing music so Im not giving up. I will continue this experiment. I still think something will come of it. But I did think of someting else that was great while lucid. I called it "lucid mad-libs" I went up to a framed newspaper article, and being so lucid , I could read. Except the words didnt all quite go together. I just kept reading these hilarious sentences that would change every few seconds. They were like "Fred was walking -300- more came back for justice entirely disclosed. Maybe 769 Talk is working under improved theory ratification". Well, I got a huge kick out of it. I must have just sat there reading nonsense for a good 10 minutes, laughing "out loud" in lucid land. Hey that could be the name of song. "Laughing Out Loud in Lucid Land" Ok, Im in a wierd , overly positive mood right now. This was one of those special lucid dreams that makes it all worth while. I think I'll be carrying that "glow" for a little while now.
