half forgotten lucid dream

I had a lucid dream this morning, and a really long one. But then I woke up and went back to sleep for 5 hours without writing anything down so I forgot most of it. That sucks.


I have no idea how this dream began anymore... so I'll just give the setting and what I remember. I was on my grandma's street, which is a big hill with a cul de sac at the top. My grandma lives on Long Island, but her street was in the middle of a big city with random suburban houses scattered here and there. Most directly near the street was a bunch of dark and scary looking factories and warehouses. It was mostly day time and warm during this dream except for one part where it was randomly night.
So I was hanging out with Karina, because apparently she lived on my grandma's street. Her house looked like Nina's house and her parents, probably since I've never met her parents, were Melissa Lowinger's parents (girl who went to middle school with me.) It was sunny when Karina and I left her house but by the time we walked to the warehouse area it was night out. Everything felt out of place as things often do in my dreams, but this dream was in first person so it was a little more convincing. When I dream in third person (majority of my dreams) I know the dream isn't real but I can't really control it. I told Karina something wasn't right but she just asked me, laughing, what I meant. As we continued walking I started hopping for some reason and on the last hop I didn't come down, I just stayed floating there. This is when I definitely became certain I was dreaming. Karina said something along the lines of "see you later" and I flew off into the sky, which was now day time.
When I was flying it wasn't like my vision was just moving through the sky, as if watching a movie from a camcorder mounted on a plane. I felt it through out my whole body. I felt like I had a body high as the warm wind blew against me. I got that feeling in my stomach you get when a rollercoaster drops from the top of a hill as I dove through the clouds. The whole experience was amazing. I landed on the roof of a house across from Karina's house, and her mom and her waved to me from their front door. I felt myself in my bed and that I was starting to wake up, so I tried my hardest to hold myself in the dream but it didn't work =(. Still that was a really fun dream.

sidenote: I've also noticed that I get the dropping feeling in my stomach sometimes in real life when I'm playing a video game and the character is falling from a mountain or something. As a little kid, at night I'd lie in my bed with my eyes closed and pretend my bed was flying. As the bed flew upwards or dove downwards, dipped to the left or right, I would feel the sensation in my body. It's crazy how much your imagination can affect your senses.
