I had a weird one last night.

I was walking down a tunnel hand carved from chalk on the phone to a friend of mine who told me to get him at the ice berg at the next turn off. So I walk down this tunnel then I reach a subway station, but the subway station and it turns out im in Pyonyang North Korea. But the whole place is filled with tourists, I heard a woman say
"You know for 50p, all the westerners can ride this all day". And she was carrying a macdonalds (Kind of reminds me of the product placement in dreams from futurama). So I jamp the turn style and it was at this point that I wolk up

Really weird since the dream was so vivid and had interaction with random people

i spent 3 months practicing the art of lucid dreaming and the best one i had was by accident after i left a open bottle of poppers in my bedroom

Ill have to check this out, im studying it in psychology right now so should be interesting

So, after reading through this thread last week some time and with no prior knowledge of lucid dreams I barely gave it a second thought. Although i did find it interesting.

And then last night, it happened, I had one! Before i went to sleep i was watching Miss Congeniality 2 which is set in Vegas, my favourite place in the world since going there the last couple of years. Anyway, I fall to sleep after and in my dream i'm in Vegas checking into a hotel when I suddenly realise its too good to be true and wake up as I realised I was dreaming. I fell back to sleep and i was back there, this time relaxing pool side with my friend and for a while I forgot it was a dream but then remembered, at this I said to my friend 'Its a dream, I just realised and woke up a minute ago' to which he replied 'So, you're still here, and so am I, so lets get on with it'. Then I thought to myself he is right, I know its a dream but Im gonna stay in it and have a great night in Vegas sarging!! Unfortunately it didnt get as far as the night out (Bummer!!) but for a short while I was living it up in Vegas knowing full well that it wasn't 'real'.

Im gonna give it a try tonight again, if its possible to remember to give it a try in semi conscious dream state.

'Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a persistent one'

I have these all the time - but not through trying! I'm going to have to read more into the subject because theyre great when they happen.

One thing i have noticed since forcing myself into becoming a lucid dreamer is the amount of energy it takes, sometimes if i have what feels like a long dream (though apparently they only last seconds) i wake up very tired, its somtimes like the sleep is my life and the awake conciousness is my rest.

I've had two lucid dreams.. One where I was having amazing sex with the hottest girl ever, and the other I was flying for a bit..

I haven't had one in a few years, I might start a dream diary first..
