Dream 1: All was as normal as could be; I went about my day as I would go about any day. That kind of makes a long story short, because the dream was long and vivid, but hey, it was normal, so why waste time on that stuff? Anyway, at one point, I stopped to tell my brother about lucid dreaming. When I got to reality checking, he was kind of confused. "Why would I ask myself if I am dreaming when I know I am not?" "You want to ask that when you are in a dream. The only reason you ask during the day is so that you will remember to in that dream." After that I had to leave and run some errands, and the normalness returned, but I kept thinking about reality checking. So close...but not close enough. Dream 2: My mom was telling me how she had been unable to get to sleep lately. "I do not have that problem anymore." I said. "I just put myself into sleep paralysis and I go right to sleep!" "Oh really?" She replied. "How do you do that?" "Well, it is simple." And then I went through the process, mentioning the possibility of lucid dreaming with the WILD method. Honestly that is all I remember from that second dream...it was not very clear to begin with. But the fact that both dreams have a lot to do with lucid dreaming tells me that I am close. I had other dreams, too, (I just could not remember them because I slept all night long instead of waking up three or four times as usual) and I would not be at all surprised if they had similar content. I guess today I better beef up my RCing and see what happens!
For some strange reason these parts of this dream stick out to me the most. And please note that I am jumping right into what I can remember, so please excuse if you do not know what is goin…

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.
