Hi Everyone,

I didn't get a chance to sleep in a bed last night (I had to sleep in the airport waiting for a bus back to Vienna or pay some guy 100 euros for a taxi ride), so I just took a nap (It's 8:50 PM and I'm back in Vienna).

The strange thing that happened to me during this nap was that I had a lucid dream, but it was less than spectacular. I was dreaming and then I thought to myself "This is probably a dream," but it was in a matter-of-fact way.

With my realization that I was dreaming, I did some back-flips, some flares, and some windmills (a windmill is like a flare that you do on the ground, so you don't have to completely support your weight).

The really strange thing was that I knew I was dreaming, so I would pause myself in the mid-air, trying to figure out how the move would feel in real life (like trying to visualize it, so I can execute it when I wake up).

After that, I continued on dreaming on normally. I may have woken up and fell back asleep. Has anyone had a lucid dream where they consciously try to practice something they would do in their waking state and it actually makes sense? I had a dream before that I solved a problem, I woke up, wrote down the answer and went back asleep. The next morning, the answer made absolutely no sense. Practicing dancing in my sleep actually seems practical.
