Thanks for replying, and welcom to the forum!

Down hill ski race
Best dreamsign missed

Last night, I did a wake back to bed. Went back to sleep an hour before having to get up. And my subconscious put me in the perfect position to become Lucid!

I find myself at the top of a mountain ski slope, on skis. There are three other skiers there also. Two guys and a girl. We are about to race to the bottom. It's not a slalom race, but an all out speed race to the bottom. And we are all going to go down at the same time. there is a fence along the top of the slope, with many spectators standing behind it. I am near the fence, and talking with some of the spectators. suddenly somebody points out, that the race has started. I look back, and I see that the other skiers have already started down the slope. "They're going to need a head start on me anyway," I brag.

At first, the slope is not very steep at all. I have to push with the poles to move. I am pushing along hard, and I am already catching up to the others. Then, just as the slope starts to get steeper, I pass the other skiers, and I no longer have to push. and I immediately ski into deep powder. "Check out this powder!" I holler back to the
others. I'm skiing quite fast now, and I am aware that there is a lip coming up, that descends to an almost vertical drop. I crouch and lean forward, and will myself to go faster and faster. I'm going so fast now, it's just intense! I race off the edge of the lip, and the mountain begins to fall away beneath me. I'm leaning forward and flying down the side of the mountain! "Woooo hooooo," I scream, as I'm soaring down the side of the cliff. The intensity of the moment, and the exhilaration I'm feeling is beyond words.
I now notice, the the side of the cliff, is like a huge bowl shape. And I'm soaring towards another lip on the other side of the bowl, that I need to land on. Almost like a double jump, on a motocross track. I land perfectly on the other side, and ski the rest of the way to the finish line.

I look back, and here come the other skiers behind me. Now, we all have to walk back up a walking slope, along side the ski slope. we are walking along, and I can see what looks like a sprinkler sticking up from the snow. for some reason I decide to mess with it. When I touch it water starts spraying out, and I get soaked. We continue on up the mountain Surprisingly, it does not take long to get to the top. the skiers I am with, are actually friends of mine. And we all came to the race together. we have to walk over the mountain, to get to where are vehicle is parked. on the other side of the mountain, there is no more snow. We are walking along a trail, that is more like foothills than an actual mountain. It is so beautiful, the hills are covered in plush green grass, with rocky areas here and there. The tops of the hills,disappear into low laying fluffy clouds. I'm beating myself up, for ever moving away from the mountains. We eventually make it to the bottom, and to the city. Are vehicle is parked on the side of a road. The vehicle happens to be a large four person tandem bicycle.
I climb onto the front seat, and the others get on behind. I look around, and I see an apartment building. In the windows I see curtains tied back, and flower pots on the windowsills. I am jealous of the people that live in this amazing place, And I am wondering, if I would really want to quit the job I have now, to move here. Anyway I start peddling away. The strange thing is, is that we are moving very slowly. Like a couple of inches a minute. I am thinking that something is really off here. How are we going to get home at this rate. I'm contemplating this, and struggling to peddle, when I wake up.

Comments
This dream was so awsome! I'm really surprised that I didn't get Lucid during it. But it was so fun I don't really care. But the flying part would have lasted a lot longer if I
had.
I had a lot more dreams but I'm to tired to write them all. Didn't take a nap today.
I'm going to sleep early, try and do some more wake back to beds. Hope it works. normally, when I start trying to skip naps. So I can get to sleep earlier, and have longer REM periods. I just end up losing my recall. But I'm going to try it again.

I had a very disturbing dream early in the night. I was in the hospital with my dad during his final hours.

Caradon, EXCELLENT dream!!!

Wonderful details and great description.. I felt like I was flying down the slopes with you!

This non-lucid dreams was better than some of my lucid dreams!

I concur with Clairity! That was fun to read!

Thanks guys, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wasn't sure I could get the experience across well enough.

As always, deciding to skip my nap, turned out to be a mistake.Recall wasn't nearly as good. I remember a lot of dreams, just not very well. nothing as fun as last night either.

Parachuting
I took a nap when I came home today, and had this dream. I'm a little confused as to what happened during it.

I wasn't actually parachuting. I was photographing somebody who was. I'm having a hard time recalling the part where I was taking the pictures. I'm not sure what was actually going on there. But I was showing the pictures to the guy who was parachuting, and the pictures become more like a video. We both watch, as he dives off of a building head first. Then, before hitting the ground, he curves upwards and starts flying into the sky. He then pulls the cord, and parachutes down to the ground.
He lands in a graveyard, and there is something about a tomb with snakes all over.
Like in the movie Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

Burglar
I'm in an apartment, and there is a storm outside.I notice something is wrong with one of the windows. I realize somebody had broken in. I look around, and I can see that some of my stuff is missing. I go to the office and talk to the land lady about it. She tells me, that somebody has been breaking into a lot of the apartments. But they had recently caught the person.

Wild horses
Second time this week dreaming about horses. I didn't get around to writing the last one.

I'm on a woodsy trail near a lake. I'm walking the dog, but the dog becomes A human child. after a little bit of walking, two horses come walking down the trail toward us.
I climb onto one, and I pull the child up behind me. The horse doesn't mind. It seems friendly,even though it's wild. We ride down the trail for a while, before I wake up.

That was the best recalled dream of the night.

Discussing Lucid dreaming
I'm sitting in a room with an old friend talking about Lucid Dreaming. I don't remember the details to well. Be we were talking about different mental focusing methods.

Pet store
I just remembered this one.
I used to have a big aquarium, with three Oscars. when they were little, I would hold a piece of food ever the tank in my fingers. And they would jump out of the water and take it. It was pretty cool. But they started getting bigger, and could jump higher. One day, I walked up to the tank with some food. And one of them jumped out of the tank onto the floor! So I stopped doing that.

Anyway, I was dreaming that I was in the pet store. I was feeding some fish, and I was trying to get them to jump for the food.

When I had my aquarium, I used to always dream about the Oscars swimming out of the tank and through the air.

A couple of other fragments
I was at a movie theater watching the new Simpson's movie. (haven't seen it yet, probably rent it)

I was talking to an old girlfriend on the phone.

Talking to mom on phone. phone goes silent I suddenly think she had died on the phone. so I'm about to go find out.

That's about it.
