Looking further down I realized I was wearing strange looking tighter khaki pants and they were fastened completely backward. Finally, I look down at my feet and see I'm wearing one tennis shoe and one high heel! I was mortified during the dream wondering why I'm out in public dressed this way. I woke up and could have slapped myself for not getting lucid from this screaming dream sign haha. I literally LOLd at it.

Lol, that's pretty funny. A smack yourself in the head moment. I need to pay attention to what I'm wearing more when I get lucid more often. Will be interesting to take note if it's the usual things I'm always wearing, or something completely different. I don't usually think about it.

I like the idea of the digital watch RC. I'm going to start incorporating that one.

Try making it a task to look at the watch after you get lucid and see what happens with it. I think it's kind of cool my watch not only tells me the time and date, but what reality I'm in as well...

And I like those kinds of moments where you're marveling at the beauty of nature. It is a great time to question reality, especially if it is making an impression on you.

There has been times in dreams when I was looking at some scenery that was so stunningly beautiful that it caused lucidity to wash over me, just too visually intense to be waking life.

I had a dream last night where I was taking a girl to a dance. In the dream, I had purchased a ticket but then lost it. I was fumbling in my pockets to find them when the generic blue perforated ticket with numbers fell onto the ground. Then today while walking down and up a hill for exercise, I noticed a blue perforated ticket on the ground with some numbers across the bottom with the same cutouts at each corner. It was a good RC and gave me a little chill for a moment. Of course, I don't remember the numbers on the ticket from my dream and it was a generic ticket, but it still made an impression and seemed unusual.

That would be surreal.

I've had a couple of weird similar experiences like your ticket in the last week or so. After waking from a dream, then turning on my computer and whoa, something very similar to my dream comes up on the screen.


Like after my shark attack dream, I turned my computer on to write down the dream. The first thing on the screen is a huge great white shark mouth open teeth bared. Had a vivid awful dream about being in the mountains with my dog. It was a beautiful dream until the moment she went off a vertical cliff falling to her death. The cliff being so tall she disappeared from view as she fell. When I turn on my computer the first thing, the log in page are these towering mountains vertical drops. And there was something else too, even more surprising, probably inappropriate to write about here though... But yeah, it's a really weird feeling when that kind of thing happens.
