Very Lucid Reoccuring Dream

[Violet]

I think of lucid dreams as something where I have full conscious awareness during my dream and can remember the entire dream from start to finish in every detail but still am aware that it is a dream.

The best example I could come up with of lucid dreaming were a long series of reoccuring dreams I use to have between the ages of 8-12 years of age.  Each time the dream would start out with me seeing a small playground.  Not a typical playground though.  There was a merry-go-round, and  a few other fair type rides and a long tunnel slide. I use to dread seeing this scene for I knew I was about to be tested again. I always went down the long tunnel slide immediately (always wondering why I never got to ride the merry-go-round) and ended up in some different place. The last dream I had I ended up on an island.  I was told (not by a voice or anything just the thought was put in my head) that part of the forest had caught fire and that my friends on the other end of the island needed to be told so they could get to safety.  I started to run to warn them.  I was running at a neck breaking pace not worrying about the small cuts and bruises I was getting.  Then suddenly I saw a bridge and felt that this was the short cut to get to my friends.  But guess what! It was a very narrow suspension bridge and guess who was standing on the bridge.  Well what ever it was had a dark long robe with a hood and all one could see where shining red eyes.  I stood there looking at it and contemplating what to do for a moment then I said to myself I do not have time for this and tried to find the next best way to get to my friends.  Suddenly I was there and my friends were all on the beach having fun and I suddenly got the thought there was no fire.  I look at my presumed friends and did not know a one of them.  Then I wake up.  That dream occurred when I was 12 years old and I remember every moment of that dream and every feeling I had to this day.  How is that for lucid.

Pretty wild (but not WILD) dream if you ask me.
