First off, I had to give up the Day # format because it seemed like it was digressing into nothing but me saying Day # -nothing happened again. So I've chosen to only write if something interesting actually happens.

Now with that said, I've had 3 major lucid experiences lately but they were all completely different than what I consider normal.

I had gone through a dry spell and not gone lucid in about a month and a half and then suddenly these three happened two in one night and one the next but they were very frustratingly short and focused more on reality checks rather than actually enjoying myself.

Usually when i become lucid there's a sense of awe but all 3 times I had this sense of business and seriousness cause I was trying to accomplish things before waking up.

The 1st time, I simply realized I was in a dream in a school hallway and I looked at my palms. The other time I did this it appeared like amazing HD quality but this time it was fuzzy and I looked at my other hand it was bloody! I soon woke up.

The 2nd time I was in some type of log cabin/restaurant hybrid and I started yelling out math problems to try to keep myself in the dream, but that's all I really did and then I noticed I was looking at the back of my eye lids. I had awaken.

The 3rd and most recent time, I became lucid in the living room of a house. For the first time I tried the famous "finger into the palm" reality check technique and was weirded out by how it felt. Then I tried my personal favorite technique: Pinching my nose closed and breathing in (in a dream you'll be able to breath)

Then I realized that a dream character was in the kitchen but I couldn't see her. I called her name (or at least what I had named her because she was a character from a previous dream) and I started hurrying toward the kitchen, I was afraid I'd wake up before I got there and sure enough, I did.

By now, with the amount of lucid dreams I've had throughout the years, I thought I'd be further along in the "staying calm and not waking up so fast" department. I'm really frustrated at how much I seem to have regressed in that category.

On the other hand, I'm glad that Lucidity seems to come more naturally now, but I really wish I could stay in the dream instead of instantly feeling my body and soon finding myself behind my eyelids.

Another blank. Got woke up

skipped this morning because of bad sleep and getting woken up. no recall whatsoever

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)
