Lucid Dreaming

Last night I had 5 lucid dreams all in a row (dreams in which I was consciously aware and able to think and control events). I had stayed up all night and through most of the day, and then crashed out bigtime at 5pm, I slept until about midnight and was awoken by my flatmates watching TV. I meditated and tried to astral project for about an hour but couldn't. At about 1am my flatmates went to bed and I spent another half hour trying to get to sleep (although I couldv'e sworn it was more like 3 hours). Eventually I drifted into a dream. I was slightly aware, just enough to realise I was in fact dreaming, so I started saying to myself quite loudly over and over "you are aware, become more aware, but don't wake up, don't leave the dream". I became very aware and decided to explore the bizzare house I was in, I realised the room I was in was resemblant of my own, It had all my plants in it and a bed I felt I'd been sleeping in, I explored the house and It was GIGANTIC. The house suddenly became immensely familiar, and I started remebering a dream I'd had long ago but not recalled on waking, it was based in this same house. I went upstairs to the room I wasn't allowed in the last time I had dreamed in this place. All the while I was avoiding a blonde woman with a child for some reason. As I entered the room it became a long concrete hallway leading outside. I follwed it and saw myself aproaching me. This was particularly weird as I suddenly remembered a dream in which I was approaching myself from the other direction, I was unaware in that dream and afraid to see myself. However this time I was very aware and approached myself, looking at myself I took my hands in hand, the other me looked very scared, just as I had remembered being. Eventually I passed myself and walked over to a group of three girls who I started talking to. I was trying to make them also become aware of dreaming, but they just got confused and annoyed so I figured they must just be dream characters, figments of my imagination. I woke up and drifted into 4 more dreams which were also lucid. Each time I was waking into a bedroom with features linking to my life and subtle clues to unravel. Very strange indeed. I eventually got up in the morning at 7am.
