      Lucid Dream 216: Enowapi 2090
      Series: Mind of a Gamer, Episode 4
      DILD
      around 7:00am



      The first part of the dream I remember is running the a swamp/bog area. The water only comes up to my knee at the deepest. I am holding an AK-105 and there are several guys running with me. My friends Mike B and Jon B are there. As well as Postman and 2Gats (two guys I used to play Socom 2 online with). We are in an actual version of the Socom 2 map, "Enowapi" (the all time best map of any shooter EVER). I run up the front ramp and head out onto the front ledge. Jon B puts the C4 on the front door. I notice there is an enemy off in the distance try to flank us. I lay down in the bushes around me. I'm watching him, but he is running behind to much brush. Finally he stopped moving behind a bush and was taking aim at Jon. I popped off three quick single shots and dropped him. The door exploded and I sprinted and ducked down in a nearby set of bushes.

      The rest of my team was standing outside the front gate hurling grenades deep into the base passed me. I looked down at my gun and noticed there was a yoshi head with a crown on it. I thought, "This wasn't in socom? This was a COD Black-Ops feature. I then realized, that I was actually in Enowapi and not using a controller at all. I knew I must be dreaming. I performed a RC to confirm.

      Seeing a real life replica of Enowapi just about made my jizz my pants. I seriously had to set the gun down, shake my hands and calm myself. I performed some quick stabilization even though the dream was crystal clear. I picked the gun up just as two enemies ran toward the front door. I waiting until they had ran right passed me, stood up and shot them both in the back. I then took off for the middle of the base. There is a ramp that leads underground in the middle of the enemies base. This is where we are supposed to plant the bomb. I sprinted toward ramp and two people started shooting at me. I popped one of them, but I couldn't see the other one. I jumped over the railing and landed half way down the ramp.

      There is always a camper at the bottom, so I wasted no time and started shooting as I turned the bottom corner of the ramp. I blasted the guy in the head before he could hardly move. I waited a second and the guy from up top jumped over the railing and landed on the ramp. Before he could take a step, I jumped out and dropped him. I laughed to myself and thought, "Man this feels exactly like the old days. I am playing this exactly like I used to on the game." I knew what was next, so I sat in silence at the bottom of the ramp. My view kept changing from a normal first person perspective, to a third person perspective (the game is a third person shooter). I noticed this and decided to try and switch back and forth on my own. I felt around on the gun and there was a D-Pad on it. I started using the arrows to switch from first to third person. It felt so strange and amazing, that I just switched back and forth for a while.

      I waited in third person and an impatient camper came running down the basement hallway toward me (thinking since there was no activity, no one was there). I popped out and dropped him before he could even get a shot off. Jon B, came running down the ramp with the bomb. he told me the last guy was outside, so I told him to just go plant the bomb and I would wait for him to come down the ramp. Jon ran passed and I was just about to say, "Watch out for mines," when I heard an explosion and knew he had stepped on one. I ran away from the ramp and into the basement. I picked up the bomb and headed toward the bomb plant area. I could see several mines set up around me. I almost stepped on one, but I managed to avoid it. I planted the bomb and sat in the corner watching it. I heard the last enemy shooting down the ramp as he ran. I just waited and watched him step on his own teammates mine and blow himself up.

      The bomb went off and I exited the basement. Both teams were waiting above the ramp. Coach Beast from the show Glee was there. Along with two other people I know.... cC and Evan. Beast said, "Damn Yosh...you had one hell of a round. I've never had 7 in a round before." I said, "Hell I have had all 8 kills several times." Jon B and Mike came over and gave me a fist pound and were cheering. We had won the game 6-5 (you play best of 11). I asked Jon, "Man I wish they would remake Socom 2." Jon replied, "They did" he pointed all around us and then said, "It took them long enough though." I asked him what year it was and he told me it was 2090. Beast held out her hand and a holographic futuristic menu popped out of the air. Reminded me of the one from my Yoda dream. It had the scores on there. I was 8-7. I thought, "Damn! I was getting my ass kicked before that round." I held out my hand and a window popped up for me as well. I chose the Seal team again and pushed the "Ready" button. We had all decided to play another match.

      I was walking back down out of the base toward our swamp spawn. Evan caught up to me and said, "It sucks we can't just fly down there....Damn, lucid restrictor plates." He held out his arm and I saw a metal plate on his arm. I looked at my arm and saw one as well. I decided to try and fly anyway. As soon as I took flight, I felt a shock of electricity zap my arm. I landed back on the ground. I thought, "Wow, that is pretty cool actually." Evan started talking about my friend Shawn's plasma TV and DVR and something else as we walked to the spawn. I was barely paying attention to him. I was just taking in the beauty of the map around me. It was awesome, because it was exactly like the game in every detail I could notice (it makes sense, because I have played that map so much I know every single elevation change, nook, cranny, tree, and bush ).

      We played another match and because of the restrictor plate (i suppose) I ended up losing lucidity during the round.
      It played out much like a normal match in Enowapi and may have had some time skips. I ended up going 19-3 and killed six in the final round of this match. I either woke up at this time, or simply forgot the rest of the dream.

      DEILD

      Category - Exploration


      ....I felt my self fade in and back out of reality and knew my DEILD was successful. My body began spinning around and I noticed I was in the basement of my house. After a short period of spinning/rolling in place, I stopped and stood. Everything was a bit fuzzy, so I performed some quick stabilization techniques. Everything cleared up rather nicely.

      Through the sliding glass door I could see it was dark outside. I turned away and headed toward the stairs. The wood paneling on the lower half of the walls had names carved into name. There must have been hundreds of them. I read a few, "Ben G, Alastor, Gobbleton, James was here, etc." I didn't waste much time reading them and headed up the stairs. I exited via the front door and it was still dark outside. Pulled over on the side of my street I noticed about 3 school buses, several cop cars, an ambulance, and a firetruck. All the vehicles had their lights on and specialty lights (cop car, ambulance), but there was no sign of life among them. I suddenly remembered some that I wanted to recruit for my dream army. I leapt off my porch and took flight. I floor over the trees and up over top of the nearest mountain. On the other side, I noticed the ground had turned to the sky, so I stopped and landed at the top of the mountain.

      I decided to dream spin and see if the problem fixed. I just performed a quick 360 (didn't want to spin too much and scramble everything). It worked. There were woods in front of my. I took flight once more and stayed low to the ground, dodging trees and such. As I flew it gradually turned to daylight. I flew upon a small lake or giant pond. I flew lower over the lake/pond and skimmed my hands on the top off the water as I flew. There was a tiny island in the middle of the lake, barely large enough for two people stand. I flew over to it and landed on a large, flat rock that (located on the island). I noticed the lake/pond had suddenly became very swamp-like.

      The water had a thick layer of green something (algae?) floating on the top. The surrounding trees were no longer pine trees and had all become mangrove trees. There was a vine covered tree in the middle of the island I was standing on. I scaled up the vines to a limb that hung out over the water. I felt around in my pocket until I found a blunt and pulled it out. I performed my usual, invisible lighter trick, and lit the blunt. I smoked and started looking around for some wild life. A few moments later I started to notice several gators were swimming in the area. As I observed them, I began to notice more and more in the area. I now noticed that they all seemed to be swimming in my direction. I wanted to throw something into the water and see if they attacked it.

      I stood on the branch and began rummaging through the leaves over head. I found an orange and soon after there were oranges everywhere. I started throwing them in the water and the gators were viciously splashing about and attacking the oranges. All of the gators were gathered below me. There must have been 50 of them gathered under my limb and the immediate surrounding area. I started launching oranges as hard as I could aiming for the gators head. When I hit them with the orange, they sunk under water for several moments before resurfacing. I began launching oranges like crazy and it turned into a game like whack-a-mole. The gators were stationary and popped up in and out of the water as I launched oranges at them. This went on for several minutes when I suddenly got an idea.

      I sat on the branch and wiggled my feet in the air. The gators broke out of their whack-a-gator state and began chomping the air and jumping up a little trying to bite my leg. Once they were all viciously aggressive. I took a deep breathing and jumped off the branch. My arm got caught in the trees vines and I was just hanging there as the gators chomped below me. I struggled for a bit, but couldn't seem to wriggle free. I could feel my actual bodies arm and figured the dream had become unstable. I performed a couple nose pinch RCs (for stabilization purposes) and could feel the vine loosening up. The vine suddenly let go and I dropped right into the middle of the gators. As I hit the water I felt gators slam into me from all angles, but unfortunately, I woke up immediately (I think the rush of emotion/adrenaline kicked me from the dream).
      I was a little disappointed that I didn't keep my cool, but I did just jump into the middle of 50 hungry gators .
