I just discovered this website thanks to someone on reddit linking to a post about ADA (All Day Awareness) which I'm eager to try.
I've been Lucid Dreaming for a few years now but it's all been random DILD's until recently where I had my first successful WILD. Now I'm really trying. I want to do everything I can to have more lucid dreams and I want to share it with people. that's why I'm here!

Anyway..

Tonight I was in "las vegas" again---despite going there twice in real life, my dream version of LV is always terrible and nothing like the real thing---I found myself with almost no money (another common thing) and in a taxi. I asked the driver to suggest where I should go based on how much money I had and he told me to go see Phantom of the Opera and then play games at the bar next door. (apparently my subconscious is mixing together new york and las vegas)
At one point I was on a hotel room trying to watch a video that was like a guide of the city, I asked someone to rewind it so I could see a certain strip but they wouldn't do it and it really upset me.


NOTE: It's very frustrating to me how often I have dreams about Las Vegas and Hotels/Vacations and yet I virtually never go lucid in this dreams. Considering I'm AWARE how much I dream about vegas, shouldn't I immediately recognize that I'm in a dream? Isn't one of the main ideas of the dream journal to make it to where you can recognize common themes in your dream and thus become aware and thus become lucid.

and yet despite knowing this, I never seem to be aware of it until after I wake up...

2nd dream I was inside my childhood house looking out the window when two young men on bicycles rode by. I thought one of them looked like my bike that had been stolen. Suddenly a police officer pulls up and neighbors surround the scene to see what's going on. It turns out the bikes were stolen (but not mine)
