   Hi All,   
      
   This newsgroup is good. More power to you all! I posted this dream   
   here about a year ago. It's one of my most interesting lucid dreams.   
   I think it will fascinate you just like it did me. Read on.   
      
   This newsgroup is good. More power to you all!   
      
   Here's my lucid dream:   
      
   I was walking with two friends on a very high hill. Can't remember   
   where we were going.   
      
   There was a very deep ravine on one side of the hill. Something   
   happened to let me know that I was dreaming. Actually I saw an   
   out-of-place thing-----a bus stop shed----right there out in the   
   middle of nowhere.   
      
   I said to my friends: "this is ridiculous, there's no bus running   
   here!"   
      
   I walked on while musing, puzzled about the bus stop shed. Then the   
   realization hit me: I suddenly knew that I must be dreaming. But I was   
   still skeptical, because my environment seemed so absolutely real.   
      
   I turned to my friends and said to them: "guys do you know that right   
   now we're in a dream?"   
      
   They just scoffed and looked at me like I was some kind a loony. But I   
   kept pressing the point to them that there was no bus route running in   
   the area where we were and that the bus stop shed shouldn't be there.   
      
   I exclaimed to them over and over that we were in a dream, but all I   
   was doing was really trying to convince my own mind that I was in fact   
   dreaming (this I realize after I woke up).   
      
   I kept repeating over and over: "My god, this seems so real, but I   
   know it's a dream."   
      
   But I was assailed by grave doubts. The dream place was just too real.   
      
   Finally I said to my friends who were conversing among themselves: "   
   listen up guys, I know one way that I could prove to you that we are   
   in a dream. If I jump over the edge of this hill and fall headlong   
   down, and hit the bottom of the ravine and remain uninjured, that will   
   prove to you that this is a dream."   
      
   My friends looked at me like I had gone completely mad. And that was   
   when my doubts finally took full control of my mind.   
      
   I changed my mind and decided against attempting the feat. But even as   
   I kept on walking, I continued to mutter: "damn this feels so real,   
   but I know it's a dream." And my friends were just glancing at me like   
   I was crazy.   
      
   Just then I woke up. I slapped my leg and shouted: " damn, I knew it   
   was a dream!"   
      
   But it all seemed so funny I just started laughing.
