Induction Method: DILD. In a dream I was about to take a test, but I realized I wasn't prepared for it. Now in real life I really was supposed to have that test, but the weekend wasn't over so I still had time to prepare for it. So I recalled that, and it didn't make any sense to be taking the test now, so I realized I was dreaming. I performed a reality check, the breathing through pinched nose. No nose, clear breath, went lucid.

Stabilization techs: About 3 times during the dream I rubbed the top of my left hand with my right thumb. Each time felt the friction on my hand, and subsequently the dream around me became much clearer. It was as everything snapped into focus. I did this even when I didn't feel like I was losing much control, and it still snapped clearly.

Dream Intent: A short exploration and then flight.

Dream Control: Didn't try to control anyone, spent most of my time in flight, swooping and soaring in the open sky. Flew through a closed window at one point.

Dream End: I was flying through a multicolored starburst field, and decided to fly outwards into deep, dark space. And as it got darker and darker I guess the dream faded and I awoke in the darkness of my room, 100% awake. In the last flying part of my dream I hadn't thought to do any stabilization techniques.

An additional note, this was one of the most awesome dreams that I've ever had.
