Almost had my second lucid dream?

Haha. Last night I had a dream that I was on a bus, and this cute guy I sort of like was there, and he was talking about lucid dreaming. Then in the dream I barge into the conversation like "you lucid dream? I've been trying to and keeping a dream diary but I haven't had one yet!".

It was kinda funny because I don't think I thought to do a reality check and didn't realize I was dreaming, even though I was on a bus home from my high school, which is one of the most commonly occurring events in my dreams (I haven't been to high school in 5 years xD).

So I think I could have had a lucid dream right then but it didn't occur to me haha!

The first lucid dream I had was over a year ago during an afternoon nap (I wasn't taking lucid dreaming too seriously back then). And in my dream I was at Christmas at my relatives' house, and I noticed a toy in the house that I recognized from a previous dream. I then realized the toy didn't exist in real life and so it had to be a dream. I then also noticed that the house I was in didn't look like any of my relatives' actual houses, recalled what all of them looked like inside and realized this wasn't one of them.

Sorry, I was dream sharing last night and I accidentally entered your dream on that bus..... No, you say? (I guess it was a different cute guy then....)

BAD JOKES ASIDE!

I've had dreams where I talk about lucid dreaming to people, but fail to realize it's a dream myself. Even when all the signs are there too. It happens. "D'oh!"

If you commonly dream about being on a school bus, you could try to program yourself to do a reality check in that situation by thinking about doing reality checks if you are ever on a bus and being determined to do so in that event. Think of that as you fall asleep.
