I had a lucid dream last night. It was short, but interesting and it made me question how i percieve ordinary reality. No need for long introduction so I will just start writting. First dream(non-lucid part): It was something about me going to a party in a club.(Ricks). I met a friend from high school whom I did not see for atleast 4 years. I did not think of her at all in a past year or two, so I do not really know why I was dreaming of her but nevermind. We were walking to the club and chatting in the mean time, I put my arm around her neck and she did not seem to mind. I felt confident and planned on seducing her. First dream(lucid part) Next scene, I am in a park and while I do not remember how I got here, I look at the sky and see that the stars are really bright. It was cold(autumns here) but it was still a beautiful night. I start seeing shapes and movement in the sky and it looks like constelations have become dragons(chinese, long body type) and they are moving. I look at the statue in the center of the park and its frozen and completely covered in ice. Kind a like this, just with less details and with a statue inside, and not a demon lol. So later, when I wake up I figured that this was a dream reference to me watching <PERSON> anime in waking life recently. But let us get back to the dream. While looking at the statue and flying dragons(there were two or three of them) I started to think that this is not normal and I figured that I am dreaming. Remembering my last lucid dream in which I kind of astral projected but could not wake up(even though I tryed to kill myself several times), I wanted to see if I can wake up on command now. I "ordered" myself to wake up. Second dream I am still lucid, but in my bed. I open my eyes and look around trying to see if I am in a dream again or I am in reality now. I remeber ordering myself to wake up and now I am in bed, seemingly awake. I question reality by questioning vividity. It seems vivid, things are pretty detailed and all. I go to the living room to make myself a breakfast. At that point I am convinced that I am awake, and I lose my lucidity waking up, for real this time. Kind a made me wondering at how lucid I realy am in RL, if I cannot distingwish between a dream and reality while sleeping. EDITED ONCE, for categorizing and additional info..
3rd Lucid This is my 3rd lucid dream and i am starting to have one every week which is a big accomplishment for me because I did not expect to have this many even if they are only 5 to 10 se…

One notable thing about this dream was that I had it very close to the beginning of my sleep. <PERSON>'s MIT article gave me the idea to do a really determined MILD before bed and it certain…

Introduction I got up far too early this morning and decided to go back to sleep and lucid dream. It took me a while to fall asleep again after waking up. I used the usual MILD strategies - …

Has this happened to you?
Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
