Zukin's Dream Journal! <3

I was at SD's house. We were hanging out and he was having a party. He showed me a cool website that was a lot like grooveshark, except one would reserve certain songs for certain says. The front page had a calendar of the week with songs lined up on it.

"Do you hear that...?" He whispered.

"No...I don't hear anything..." I responded.

"Shh...Sounds very low, very bassy..." He added.

I didn't hear anything. We went to the bouncy house in front of his house and I finally heard what he was talking about. Somebody was playing their guitar outside!

He came inside the bouncy house and started rocking out. I tripped and accidentally bounced into the netting on the backside of the bouncy house...And when I did, I had a strange vision. It was like for a moment I had poked my head into someone else's dream.

There was something strange about what lay past the white netting of the bouncy house. Very strange and curious. I pushed myself into the netting. It was like trying to walk through elastic saran wrap.

I began to see that I was traveling through a psychedelic tunnel. On the sides of the tunnel were sometimes snippets of scenes and people as if they were on film, acting out their lives as if everything was normal.

I saw a scene of a guy I knew, he was sitting in a locker room alone. I pushed my way into the scene, until I was standing there with him.

"Woah, woah, woah, shorty!" He said as he realized that I was standing there.

"What's up?"

"You look like...A shiny, glossy, metallic person from another dimension!" He exclaimed.

I looked down at myself and chuckled. Indeed, I looked exactly that!

I sort of looked like that guy above, but more gray metallic.

"So, what are you doing?" I asked.

"Waiting here for my parents to come. We're supposed to do some weird family photo together. It's their dream or something to have a photo together since we are always apart," He responded.

Dream...Hmmm, I should do a reality check, I thought.

I did a reality check and found that I had five fingers and a thumb. I dismissed it at first, then did a double take. I couldn't believe that I was dreaming!!! Everything seemed so real.

"We're dreaming!" I told him, "Do a reality check!"

He looked puzzled for a moment before I explained that he had to see if he had the correct amount of fingers.

I wanted to stabilize before I went out to try and do the Nightstalker Tasks. I walked around the locker room and went into the girl's bathroom. The entire scene was very yellow and green. It was kind of creepy. I was trying to read the words that were written on some of the bathroom stalls. All of them sounded rather despairing and unfortunate. It was hard to make out the words because of the nature of the dream. One of the sentences said something like, "All there is left is false hope."

Once I decided I was stabilized enough, I left the bathroom to try and find a graveyard.

"Wait! Wait! Don't leave without me!" He yelled. I had completely forgotten about him! I decided that if he has never lucid dreamed before, then I should take him flying.

We left the locker room and went into the main school hall ways. The halls were flooded with students. We easily navigated our way out.

As soon as I got out of the door I looked to the sky. Perfect blue skies in hyper clarity.

I told him to grab my hand and I launched off into the air. He seemed absolutely delighted. I let go so he could fly on his own. We landed back on the sidewalk.

He tried to launch off on his own, but stumbled.

"How do you get back up in the air?" He asked.

"Anyway you want," I replied, "you can flap you arms, pretend to swim, whatever. Don't try, just do."

He got the hang of it immediately.

"You're a natural!" I shouted out to him.

Even though I feel like I got completely distracted from what I was supposed to do, this was honestly one of the best flying experiences I have had. Everything was in HYPER clarity, and I could feel the wind rushing against me as we flew, and I could feel the height that we were at, it was just awesome.

We landed back down on the grass so he could bring some more friends up there with him, but I woke up.
