    "You never really remember the beginning of a dream, do you? You always wind up right in the middle of what's going on." - Cobb, "Inception"

      Not dream Non lucid Lucid
      4:30-10:00 PM
      While trying to do a MILD during a nap, I successfully slipped from half-wake to dream state. First accidental WILD. I was relaxing and had a hypnagogic hallucination that I was hovering just above my bed. Then a dream scene enveloped me and I was instantly lucid without dreamsigns/RC's. Little to no rush. I was in a small dark beige-colored room with a door in front of me. It lasted 5 seconds before I turned to face another wall and slowly realized the wall was my bedroom ceiling.

      Reading web news about Syn making a choice to leave A7X. "My Quit or ??? Departure". Talking about them moving base between 2 cities and Syn's difficulty with that.

      1:00-4:00 AM
      I learned about stabilization on DVChat and vowed to try it in my next LD.

      4:00 AM - 10:00 AM
      Longest LD I've ever had to date - felt like around an hour. I don't remember much of the plot, only fragments of the whole dream, which I'm sure is 1 dream. I got lucid in a walled area, but forgot how (no RC's or dreamsigns, and no rush.) When I became lucid, I realized I had to stabilize and maniacally touched the walls and floor. It worked! The dream felt stable. I spun around to make sure the dream lasted and it did. (I went on touching floors and walls in the rest of the dream to prolong it. At one point I remember yelling "Stabiliiiiize~~!!" when I reached an indoor room and started pawing the walls.) I left the building into an open field and started successfully doing control. I made the ground turquoise and the clouds red. (Though I thought "sky: red", only the clouds turned red.) I did many more color changes that I can't remember. Most amazingly though was telekinesis. I could make small objects rise with mind command, and with what I now call a "finger flick" (a flick of my left index), make them fly in the pointed direction.
      Next bits are bits and pieces of what I did in the dream in no plot order.
      - I succeeded summoning Gates! I was in a computer lab of some sort and used passive control. I believed and knew he was sitting in the row behind me. I turned and there he was. (In the attire of the purple lazer pic) I went to him and tried to think of a good opening line, and told him I was looking for someone named Synyster Gates. Crafty bitch pointed to a midget bent old lady and said she was Synyster Gates. I had no idea what to say. He took me to her and we were brought out of the room. I later brought her back but Gates was gone.

      -A game show where people had some cards in front of them. I turned invisible and used telekinesis and the finger flick to chuck the cards around.

      -I teleported myself backstage to an A7X concert.

      -I showed off telekinesis/finger-flick skills to Wong Lee and others. Victoria wasn't too impressed. I remember walking on an expansive field and walking onto a construction site on a gigantic red squishy tomato where Ivy was working. I left and worried if I should wake up, since I thought I was asleep at school during lunchtime and was probably missing some classes. But I thought it would be a waste, so I spun and continued. Victoria came over and I told her I was in a dream and showed telekinesis (failed on large objects, succeeded on small). She asked me about the major project and I said "Later" but felt bad for procrastinating. I went into an apartment bottom with her and used the finger flick to make a fan on the ceiling spin so quickly it lighted up. Lotty was there too and warned that it was releasing sparks. While exclaiming, I got hit with the falling sparks - it stung.

      -A domestic helper I didn't recognize talked about a new bra. My mom told me she'd bought a new pushup. I used passive control to make my boobs bigger and wore the new grey pushup.


      Wake.

      Notes:
      Longest, best-control LD to date (b/c of stabilization techniques). First attempt at and success at stabilization.
      Dream accomplishments: Stabilization, significant passive control, summoning person, large-scale color change, telekinesis.
