My father died of a heart attack when I was about 5. He was a smoker, like me. Now that I'm 36, I have pretty much outlived him.. or real close.

Last night I had the most vivid dream of him. I believe I became partially lucid.

I remember talking with him.. about what, I don't remember. The point I believe I became lucid was when I looked at him, realized it was my dad, and told him "Dad... please quite smoking so you can stick around and be with your family. I miss you so much!"

I remember starting to cry in my dream. He looked at me and smiled. All I remember was his two bottom teeth were severly discolored from cigarette smoke. (they weren't IRL, and mine aren't either). I realize it really was my subconcious telling me to quit smoking. And that we had just visited my grandparents (his parents) in arizona a little over a week ago.

I remember waking up right after that crying for 2 reasons. 1, the dream crying, and 2, that I got to see my dad again.

Anyhow, just wanted to share. Hopefully I will become lucid again.. to talk with him. It was so cool. Next time I want to share my story with him, about my beautiful wife and daughter, sucessful business, etc. Even though I know he already knows. And even if it is only my subconcious... it still meant a lot.
