For a short time I tried keeping a dream journal to remember my dreams better, which was supposedly the first step to being able to lucid dream consistently. It's hard to keep up with it during the school year, where I either don't have time to write down my dream when I wake up, because I have to get ready for school, or I don't get enough good, deep sleep to have vivid dreams. I didn't stick with the whole thing long enough to really have any lucid, although I did enjoy remembering my dreams more often and in more detail. I want to start again.
I sort of had one, although I'm not sure if I was actually lucid, or if I was, it was weak. It basically involved me going through a really shitty, surreal day at Cedar Point (a theme park for those who don't know) with some friends, and we were all too busy arguing over something to have fun. Time was running out, the park was going to close soon. So I came to conclusion that I was in a dream, and decided to control everything and everybody from a bird's eye RTS style view to break up the arguments so we could have fun. I sort of fly back onto the ground and we started getting on a ride. I began to take off my glasses as I usually do so they don't fall off during the ride, and I remember "hey, this is my dream, I control what happens!" So I kept them on, but when the ride started they fell off, and then eventually I fell off as well and landed on the ground, where all my friends were waiting next to the car to head home. But then some guy from my school started trying to shove me into a mailbox. Then I woke up.
I mean, obviously I didn't have control near the end, I didn't want to fall off the ride, go home, or have someone try to stuff me into a mailbox. And when I was supposedly lucid, I rode a stupid fucking roller coaster that I've been on at least a dozen times before in the waking world, but instead with my glasses on. I mean, why would I want to do that? I remember not remembering that I was in a dream near the end when things started to get lamer as well, like maybe my lucidity just died out, and when I did have it, I didn't really know how to control my dreams yet. I don't know.
