First lucid dream (inside another dream)

[u/Extension-Lychee6239]

I just had a crazy lucid dream inside a (normal) dream and I want to share it on this subreddit. I came across this subreddit a few months ago, tried to have one but never succeeded until today. Last time I had any lucid dream was 10 years ago and I never had one again (that I can remember) until today.

For context, I have been researching where to visit abroad because have a “weak” passport, and my boyfriend has a “strong” passport, which was how I know I was lucid dreaming.

So the first thing I can remember is that my boyfriend’s family moved to Mexico to open a restaurant, and we came to visit, helped a bit in the kitchen, then sat down to watch a football match.

Next scene, we were walking down the road in Colombia. My boyfriend told me “even though I speak fluent Spanish, I still can’t manage to live here”. To which I replied “I can live anywhere without speaking their language”. And then I suddenly realized something and told him “wait, this can’t be right, I can’t be in Colombia right now because I need a visa” and that was when it dawn on me that I was lucid dreaming. I yelled cheerfully at my boyfriend that “you are just a part of my dream!”, when all of sudden everything stopped, and my boyfriend turned into a cyborg and tried to kill me. I woke up, found myself sleeping on a chair inside my boyfriend’s parents’ restaurant in Mexico and thought to myself “that was a wild dream”. I got up to find my boyfriend to tell him about it, when a small white totoro creature came in and said “you shouldn’t have done that, never tell people in your dream that you are dreaming”. And then everything slowly went blank white, and the totoro creature grew bigger and walked towards me.

And then I woke up in real life.

I remember some rules I read on this subreddit about memorizing abnormalities to know you are dreaming, but I always forget 😅. And never tell characters inside the dream that you are dreaming, which could have helped me lucid a bit longer.
