Lucid Dreaming

I had an amazing dream last night where after weeks of unintentionally doing so, I've managed to (almost) perfectly lucid dream. At first it was an ordinary dream, the typical surreal and bizarre sequences where if Freud was present, he would have a field day. However, then out of nowhere I found myself in a shop in the south of France, it wasn't a specific place I'd been before but everything was there to remind me of where I
(sort of) was.

Anyway, I was in there and I was about to buy something then I realised I was lacking in funds. Then I realised I was in a dream. I was conscious in my subconscious, if that makes sense. Because of this I concluded that I could shoplift and if caught, run away because it's just a dream.
However, I needed to prove to myself that I was in a dream and at the moment I saw a friend of mine whom I asked if it were a dream, yet he likes to be annoying and did his best to prove otherwise.

Oh and if I haven't explained what lucid dreaming is, it's where the dreamer exerts a certain amount of conscious control over their participation or the imagery in their dreams.

Experts say that you can practise lucid dreaming before you go to sleep yet I don't exactly know what the technique is, it's always been an unintentional act.
Yet I highly recommend attempting it because it is truly a brilliant experience.
