I'm new so sorry for the consecutive new threads, but I just fell in love with this site and all of you

So last night I was having a non-lucid dream that I was stuck in these massive waves crashing on a beautiful beach shore. I wasn't afraid and didn't sense any danger, I was just trying to find my way out while getting sucked into the pull of the waves and tossed around over and over.
I started jumping every time a wave came by, and I would soar over each wave about 15 feet in the air. So fun. I sensed this was a dead give-away that I was dreaming and I became lucid. I looked up at the sky, so beautiful and real. It looked like an oil painting of a sunset with purple, deep blue, orange, magenta, and even though it was bright and sunny, there were stars. Something you really have to do when you're lucid is take notice to details. It's crazy how beautiful the sky was and it looked so real. I was amazed that my mind created that. But anyway back to the dream...
I got the idea to shoot myself into the sky, so I did. It was like being slingshotted into a kaleidoscope and I shot all the way to space, stars racing past me. Then I woke up My LD's usually last longer, but this was one of the most beautiful and somewhat meaningful. I woke up and reflected.

You know those dreams that just leave you with an overall sense that you got something out of the dream? I used to have horrible nightmares as a child, and no matter how lucid I was, I couldn't understand or control them. I'd have nightmares so horrible I was afraid to go to sleep because I wasn't at ease with myself. Now I felt this dream was a sign that as I'm growing up and learning more every day, I finally truly understand and have control over my self. I never have nightmares now that I can't turn into a good dream. Understanding your subconscious and deepest feelings, desires, and thoughts, to me, is pure bliss. Thought I'd share!
