LiveInTheDream's DJ v2.5

So last night I had a brief, but very highly lucid dream. First one in a while; I haven't been able to put much effort into lucid dreaming, so any that I have right now are random and unintentional.

Someone was hunting me down, for reasons I cannot recall. I had been on the run from them, but now I was back in my house. All I knew is that I had to get out of there before they caught me, and before I got out of there, I had to get a very important email from my computer. It held in it some form of proof that would end my problems (details of the contents are vague). So I sneaked upstairs to my computer, and tried to turn it on so as to get the email, but my pursuer was too smart. They cut the power to my house which of course immediately caused my PC to shut off as well. I suddenly got a feeling that I only get in dreams--a feeling of being utterly trapped by some power that I cannot see, but that I know is there, without any possibility of escape.

That triggered lucidity, and I instantly realized that I did not have to be trapped any longer. I recognized completely that I was in a dream and could control it how I pleased, so I held out my hand towards the computer to channel my energy properly, and with minor effort was able to power it up with Electrokinesis. I had hoped that once the power got stable I could draw my hand back and the PC would continue to operate without further active control, but unfortunately it did not. If I retracted me hand and withdrew the effort, the computer would immediately shut down.

There was no time to fool with that, so I tried to keep the computer powered on with my left hand while navigating to the email with my right. Now, my PC is rather powerful, and requires a lot of energy to keep running. It was draining my own energy very quickly, and I was having to put more and more effort in all the time. (Pause here for a moment: I know it doesn't sound very epic, but picture what all this was really like: the room was dark from lack of electricity, I had someone drawing nearer trying to kill me, and I was forcing myself to do something potentially 'fatal'. Not to mention that sparks were falling from the ceiling as lights and other nearby electrical objects were picking up on the current and breaking. It was a very intense, epic moment )

I had just gotten the email to open, and was about to read what it said, when suddenly the effort grew to be too much for me. The electricity overwhelmed me, resulting in a shock that hit from the inside out, as if coming from my brain, which threw me backwards onto the floor, bringing my chair with me. At this point I knew I would be defeated by the dream if I remained inside, so I just tried to break the dream into a million pieces, and I was awake instantly (that trick always works for me).

It's been far too long since I've had lucid experiences like this one. Call me an adrenaline junkie, but I love intense circumstances like that where lucid dream powers come particularly in handy
