Younger, I was living perpendicular to a street. I remember dreaming that I was in a racing car and crashing. I woke up right then and heard my father running around the house in the middle of the night. I didn't understood what went on until the morning when I saw car tracks on the grass and traces of impact on the tree that was right in front of my room! Could have been very dangerous...

That dream is still very vivid. I'm not a pro on the matter, but maybe dreams are easier to remember when they have a direct outside stimulus?

I still remember many dreams that includes outside noises. Just lately, and this was the reason I'm back here after one post in many years, is that I forgot to shut the radio before sleeping. In the middle of the night the noise woke me up. Suddenly I found myself having trouble offing that radio...Instead, stations were changing after every try...and then found curious that there was only two stations now...Suddenly I realize something was fishy and said to myself : He! It's because I'm dreaming! This was the first hint of lucidity in many years. I decided to finally shut down the radio and slept well after that...In the morning the music was still playing...

That got me reinterested in LD and here I am! :-)
