Lucid Dreams

My dreams are almost always lucid, semi lucid or something that resembles lucid.

In a lucid dream, you are aware you are dreaming. You sees yourself like viewing a movie, also you are supposed to be able to control the dream. Following is an example of what I call semi lucid:

I dreamed of going to the next town from my home in Texas. Being conscious I was dreaming, I knew the way in this life was to go up the road and take a right onto highway 80. The terrain was flat and mostly roads ran east-west or north-south. In the dream, I went up the road and took a right onto a two lane country road heading north of due west. The terrain was rolling and the road kept bearing more northerly. I came into a town and pulled into a junk yard. There was a shack in the center and a man and woman were talking by it...vivid detail omitted.

I was determined to get to the next town in this life and came up with a map to get directions. I talked to the people but they did not look at the map or offer directions. I could not influence the dream...vivid detail omitted. I drove into the town. The tall buildings formed a canyon. There were no doors or windows, no people or cars...vivid detail omitted. I turned around and went home.

In mulling over this dream, my intuition and imagination provided a long view. In this life, media reports had been discussing how terrorist were changing communications methods. In the dream, I was a terrorist, the town was a secret military post, the people by the shack were spies planning an attack on the post, and I had driven over for a discussion, because it was not secure to use the phone. The dream, intuition and imagination were very detailed and vivid. Combined, they could be a full length spy thriller. It is easy for me to see how past life memories are the basis of creative writing.

Lucid like dreams may come up later.
