I feel that LDing gives me energy to go through the depressing and stressful days, and just go to sleep in a whole new world where YOU matter. . i know what you mean man. when you have a lucid you wake up feeling AWESOME haha.. specially flying.. that sorts me out and i wake up all excited that i had a lucid lol. head up!
Congrats! That sounds awesome, my friend. It sounds like you kinda followed your dream plot a little rather than completely deviate and create a new world from it. Hope you had fun. There will be more. Good luck.
