Crazy dream

Most of my sleep has been pretty dreamless lately, maybe I dream like once a week or at least what I remember when I wake up. Every now and then I get these weird lucid dreams that are mixed with something happening right now, something in the past and like in this case memories from another dream involved. Before I get to writing real quick everything I remember while I remember it I want my readers to know that in my teens I used to lucid dream a lot. Like, I kind of made it a sport for a long period while reading r/luciddreaming and got really into it and triggering it on a daily basis. Was fun but who knows the effects of it, studies said they didn't harm your REM sleep and that they were more beneficial than damaging.

So it started with me being at a party in Finland, this party was happening outside but had a lot of "open" houses where people could go in and chill. It must've been summer, maybe even midsummer because it was at one of those famous places in the archipelago where teens would party at. It was pretty fun, I met a lot of old school friends I hadn't seen in years, this may also be due to the recent reunion we had in that same spot. As we're drinking I was reaching for my cigarettes (even though I've quit smoking now) and noticed that my box was gone until I see an old friend holding it and taking out a "cigarette" from there probably thinking it was hers. The reason I say "cigarette" is cause it was more of a doobie with a lot of THC in it, I start to panic and rush over and take it out of her mouth as she just lit it up and I'm like "hey, that's my cigarette" like a complete douche while her friends get really aggressive instantly. "So fucking what dude, it's just a cigarette" and I'm like "yeah I know but it's principle" or some other lame excuse hoping they won't find out and they're like "gtfo here". Knowing that was the only doobie in there that she picked I leave my box with her and smoke it. As I'm getting really high - in a dream - I suddenly see my mom appear at the party with some other elderly folks and I try my best to hide and stumble upon an friend doing some stuff with someone behind some bushes, as they notice me and call me a pervert for peeking I'm trying to tell them that I'm just "high and hiding from my mom" but I start laughing as I say it as ridiculous as it sounds and she starts screaming "rape" to get me to leave, lol. ??

Yeah anyway, so that kind of ends there and the next day I'm at work. No idea what kind of work is we're just cruising in a truck with an old highschool friend of mine that I had seen on the party last night first time but suddenly he's working with me. He's asking what I've been up to and I tell him "not much, just working and drawing" lol, as if I've been drawing much. He then tells me he has started drawing as well and draws up this amazing Goku from Dragon Ball Super and for some reason decides to print it at the work place because he wants to "post it on Steem" while the boss comes in asking what the fuck we're doing. To not get in trouble my friend tells the boss I need that print for art school? but don't have a printer at home and I'm like "yeah, nice save buddy, thanks" while he's doing the printing he asks me what I've done at this work all summer. Out of lack of knowing wtf we do there I tell him we been going around recycling bottles from all the tourists all summer. This is kinda where I start realizing I'm dreaming at that lame example of what people could be doing at a regular job. Then he asks me with who and I tell him some random ass name and that he used to work here with me before him called "Robbie" (which was like a character from another dream I had a few weeks ago) and he's like "oh I know him" and calls him up? Then looks at me all angry and is like, "Robbie says you didn't recycle anything this summer and only made him work".

Then out of no where the room gets filled with people/employees? and it seems my dream is kind of running out on realistic imagination as for some reason Shroud is there speaking swedish and mocking me about lying and next thing I know my girlfriend is calling me on whatsapp asking me how I could lie in front of Shroud and that he was livestreaming my lying face to his 70k viewers and that she thinks lying is just as bad as cheating and that's when I wake up.

Yeahhhh, pretty weird and kind of a funny dream. It's not often that I remember myself having giggled in my sleep when I dream some ridiculous stuff. Although there wasn't much lucid dreaming going on in this one it did feel pretty real until some things got out of hand and I started to realize what was going on at the end.

Have you had any crazy dreams lately or any experience lucid dreaming? I recommend checking out the subreddit if you want to "try it out" as you can do things to trigger them. Takes some practice and I gotta admit it's way harder as you get older but it can be a lot of fun once you know the drill and can easily take control of any situation in your dreams. PS. time moves way slower in dreams. ;)
