Waaaay back in July, I had a dream about my Aussie ex Alex. It was very odd as it was a full colour dream and I was lucid in the dream. We had a long talk and we got back together. Okay, it was a one time dream I thought. I shrugged it off and forgot about it.

In late August, I had a couple of more dreams about him, in the same pattern, full colour and lucidity. Once or twice a
week, I had the dream in September and October. By the time November and December rolled around, I was having it three to four times a week. Now it's a rare night that I *don't* have the dream.

In the last 10 days, I've had the dream every night. I've been lucid in every one, full colour dreams. I've tried changing
the course of events in the dream. I've told him no to reconciliation, no to sex (we have sex after we get back together), and other situations. Every time, Alex and I wind up back together and we have great sex that night.

Normally, I'd shrug off "odd" dreams such as this. I have odd dreams from time to time, as if my mind is pulling random
bits of garbage and getting rid of them. The dream I had when I had to find my grandfather and rescue him by singing Russian opera is a *prime* example of this. My dreams, when I am fully lucid in them, and they are in full colour, are almost always a foretelling. I mean, when I've had dreams like this (full colour lucidity), the events in the dream almost always come to pass. The dream may have the events somewhat wrong or the dialogue may be different, but the end result comes to pass.

I've not spoken to Alex since around May of 2000. Why this dream has started and gotten more and more repetitive and
more and more lucid and vivid, I don't know. It will be interesting to see what will happen in the next few months.
