lucid

I was in darkness and realized I may be awake while sleeping and beginning or ending a dream. I was in the darkness and decided to rub my hands together briskly to become more lucid so I could see something. The darkness clarified and I became aware I definately was not in waking reality but I had no dream scenery but the darkness did clarifiy( I saw some glimmers of light reflecting off something). I knew I was lucid at this point and was happy that the rubbing the hands together worked well. I will use it more often. I decided to "jump" thru the blackness as far as I could to "jump" into a dream or at least into some scenery. On the other side I saw a spectacular sight of dogs dogs dogs of every breed and color and type jumping and some falling and some seeming aggressive and others friendly etc. I can't remember much except I was extremely lucid and suprised to land in a dream of so many dogs doing so many different things. Nuts.
The cool thing is that when I awoke I shared my dream with my family and another family member had dreamt that our and our neighbors dogs were causing trouble so they were looking for me to help and couldn't find me.
finally!! fulll blown lucidity since my renewed commitment starting this year 03/31/11. whew thank goodness I'm back on track.
