What a great thread. ...

My lucid dream story:

In the dream, I am in an airplane, which suddenly starts to pitch violently and I can hear the sounds of stressed metal. I know we're about to crash. But suddenly, I realize that this is only a dream, and I don't need the plane to come down safely; I can just float down on my own. So that is exactly what I do. The plane dissolves and down I go, light as a feather.

Also, one technique I use when writing down my dreams is the present tense. This gives the dream a sense of immediacy and somehow helps me remember. Thanks for the thread, RR.
