Lucid Dreaming

1. A lucid dream is any dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming. In relation to this phenomenon, Greek philosopher Aristotle observed: "often when one is asleep, there is something in consciousness which declares that what then presents itself is but a dream".

When I was younger I always used to attempt to lucid dream, and I often could.  However as a became older I never tried at it anymore it just faded to the back of my head.  Last night however it happened again it was completely involuntary, and it was amazing.  

I have moved from L.A. a while ago and so i have many friends down there that I don't see often.  So in my dream I was standing in my old friends house and all of my new friends who I had just met a few years ago were there to and we were all just hanging out and it was a cool time nothing crazy happened until, It just clicked in my head that it would be near impossible for all of these people to be in the same place at the same time.  So my friend who I was talking to at the time I told him that I think this is a dream and he said "if its a dream you can fly right?" He then ushered me to his balcony and he just said "jump" at this point I was about 90 percent sure it was a dream and so I jumped and flew (luckily) and so then I flew to my current house and to an old mine near it where I landed on some tailing pile and suddenly a very small little lizard slithered out and sat in the lotus position its very hard to describe so I've found the closest thing I can to it.

 

So anyway this little lizard comes out and sits in the lotus position and I ask him his name and he just sits so I wait and when he finally responds he does so with "ask me a question" well I did and we pondered the existence of other life and as we had this conversation I noticed that our surrounding had faded into a drag purple soil with slight swirly patterns he said "look" gesturing forward to these strange yellow tree-ish objects that were very round and circular, so I observed and up came a tall stocky creature that didn't notice me and walked slowly up to the tree and began to sculpt it like clay he then made a tool and began to peel away the soil and he found water I wanted to explore more but, my alarm went off as always with the most impeccable timing.
