Well i had a fun night away from reality last night. It wasnt as good as i expected, but i got to see some old friends and have a laugh 
One thing that blew my mind and completly made the travelling worthwhile was i had a lucid dream last night.
Ive always been interested in the idea of being able to control your dreams and have always wanted to read up about it. I got to read up little bits about it over the last few days but nothing substantial. And amazingly i had my first real Lucid Dream last night.
I cant even begind to describe how it felt. It was just amazing. Im prone to having some bad nightmares and generally having uncomfortable nights sleep because of dreams. Last night i was dreaming about having a car accident.
I was driving along on a really stormy night and i was driving the nissan patrol i hired when i was in new zealand. Suddenly i lost control and slid off the road. It was bizarre coz i got out and the whole car fell apart and i got really upset and fell to the ground crying. I couldnt believe it could happen to me as i only slid on the road yet the jeep was a complete write off.
Something just hit me, this cant be happening, cant be real and suddenly i thought oh its a dream. Just like that, then i consiously became aware of whatever i do dont wake up. I had my head in my hands and it was pitch black so i took about ten seconds to let it sink in i was in a dream and i said to myself ok if it is a dream,when i stand up it wont be rainign and i wont be upset. Ill be happy and have amazing scenery around me.
I stood up, opened my eyes and i saw the most amazing sunrise, like in the truman show or something
I was just in awa, there was tons of sand all around me and it was just the most beautiful sight i had ever seen. I was completly aware this was my dream and i could do anything.
I started to run around and feel the sand and it felt amazing, like i could feel where every grain had come from. It was like being blind for your life and suddenly seeing everything for the first time. And i never felt so happy and peaceful.
I wanted to have some people around me, i remember thinking a cute girl would be brill, but i wasnt able to imagine it, instead an ol lady appeared a bit away. So i went over and said hi, and sat down and sh started to tell me the most amazing stories. I was just in awe, listening to her wisdom about everything.
When she was finished i just walked around touching everything. I tried to fly but i couldnt and kept falling on the sand, but it didnt hurt it just felt good It takes practice i heard to make everything appear and come into your dream but when i woke up, i never felt so good in all my life.
I was worried that maybe lucid dreaming wouldnt refresh me as much as my brain would be working so much while asleep, but i felt so happy and at peace with myself when i woke up. I still feel excited about the whole thing. I was so doubtful to if this would even work! Im off to read up as much more as i can becuase this is truly amazing woooooo

There are things you can to increase your chances of having lucid dreams, I was having them every night for awhile. I did it by thinking about dreaming, and the fact that I am not dreaming, many times through out the day. If you do this enough, when you start to dream you will think this instinctively, and realize you ARE dreaming.. Most people wake up once they realize they're dreaming, but if you can stay asleep, you can gain control like you did that night, try flying it's the best.
