I just wanted to post this helpful hint that I have learned all too late in my experiences. Don't give up your lucid dream too soon! Last night I dreamed I was in a little snack shop and wanted a marshmellow cookie. I thought I would save money and just buy a candy bar on the way home. But I couldn't recall where I was or how to get home so I became lucid. But then I assumed I woke up as the scene went dark. But I wanted the cookie so I reached over where I last saw it, and could feel the plastic wrapper, no problem! So in spite of no vision I opened it up and ate it. I felt something silky on my right arm that felt like a silk nightie so I reached my arm out and felt a woman's body. I pulled her to me, pulled off her nightie, and started to make love. Then my vision came back and it was a beautiful woman...she looked a lot like my wife but with other beautiful women mixed in. It was a wonderful dream. So as you see...don't give up on your little cookies...you never know where it will lead!
