Dougie

This is my first entry into my dj. Last night I had my first lucid dream because I wanted to, it happened sometime between 6:30 and 9:00AM. in the dream I was walking toward a large wide set of concrete steps, I decided to try to clear the steps with one leap and I did! Upon landing a woman ( stranger?) with really curly hair and a large beaded necklace asked me how I did the leap and expressed awe at my abilities. I kept saying that it just takes practice. Even I was confused by this answer because it seemed to me athletic ability would be required, even though no human could have made this leap.
In the next segment I told her that running speed was also required to jump that high. In my dream world running always feels bogged down and slow. But last night I figured out how to run! I gave her a demonstration by starting super low like a track runner, and pushing off really hard. Then, to help gain speed I remained low enough to help push with my hands.this all went down on the landing spot.
At this point I realized the dream was starting to fade, I was able to extend the dream by suggesting that she and I go get lunch, and we did. We both reappeared in a sandwich shop. I said go ahead an order anything you want, I then turned around to look at her and she had changed into a man (also a stranger). Then i started to question everything and I woke up.
The details of the dream are both fuzzy and clear. When I first woke up I was disappointed that I missed my chance for lucidity, and slowly started recalling points of control in the dream. The leap, running, and suggesting lunch. I guess this counts. Can't wait for tonight!
