Thread: The Pond of All Knowledge

Finally I have broken a two month dry spell! This week I have had two full length lucids. One of them is extremely epic, and is the one I am putting down here. The other is interesting too, but I will share that some other time. The dream is as thus:

I am sitting at a table in my aunt's kitchen, playing cards with some friends, when suddenly one of them tells meto look at her digital watch. I do this and look away. Then she tells me to look again, and the time has gone from 2:35 to something like 4:900. Then comes the all too familiar sense of becoming lucid, accompanied by the usual (at least for me) dramatic musical cue (I have a very musical mind). Quelling a rush of excitement ("Finally my dry spell is over!), I decide to explore my dream world. I walk around for awhile and find nothing but a perfect recreation of my Aunt and Uncle's house. "This is boring," I think. And since you are way more creative in dreams than you are in real life, I tried a new method of scene switching: Walking Through Walls. I first envision my destination and have it clearly pictured in my mind. I focus all my attention on my destination, and then walk straight through the wall. The first attempt I had at this was a complete failure, I hit the wall and fall down and hurt myself. It is then that I realize another key element to this process, and that is projecting your destination onto the wall, so as to convince your mind that it doesn't exist. I looked at the white wall ahead of me and thought, "Snow. I'm going to the top of a mountain." This color association along with my unfailing expectation caused me to be teleported to mount everest.
The rest of my dream was spent going through various scenes and exploring a dream universe that I created. However this friend who had first inducted me into lucidity began to follow me. She would always show up right behind me in a new scene, sometimes attempting at conversation. I was determined not to be distracted into my deepest lucid experience yet, so I ignored her. But for every scene I came to, so did she, and each time she became bigger, darker, and more ominous. I finally shook her off and stumbled into a place I had not been to before. It was a quiet pond in the middle of the woods. There was a small wooden sign next to it describing "The pond of all knowledge." It was only about a foot deep and I could see small stones at the bottom. On each stone was enscribed a deep question that people have always pondered. I was excited. I thought that here I could find out anything I ever wanted to know. So I pulled out a stone at random. On it was the question "Is there a God?" Around the edges of the stone were three buttons. One said "Don't want to know," one said "Find out" and the last "Extreme." I was feeling curious, so I pressed the extreme button. The stone began to dissolve into a swirling cloud and I could see through it an image of a mountainside. I looked deep into it, but before I could see more, the image faded. All around me, trees were dying and the pond itself dried up and the stones turned to dust. Then, a huge crack appeared in the land and out from it came my friend, now an evil villainess, complete with evil black cape and scepeter. She began a long monologue in which she said something about having "all the power in the Universe." At that point I interrupted her and said dramatically, "There's only one power I have that you don't." I slowly began to rise into the air and I felt that this was the epic climax of the dream. "The one power I have over you, is that I CAN WAKE UP!" All of a sudden I began flying and shouting "I CAN WAKE UP" at the top of my lungs.
My eyes slowly opened, and I thought, "What an epic dream."
