I do a brief bit of oral on her anyway [ew!]

would be picky if you wouldnt have

i really need to boost my recall. its nice to remember so many dreams

tooth conference
the crazy subway driver is soooo cliché^^ only the fact that you had no pants on is missing
and the thing with the fish. that a way our sc occupy us so we dont get bored all the nights

nice and funny dreams

Didn't know about the blue legend, but surely looks like a lucid! I think you had quite a bit of awareness there! Wish you a full blown ld tomorrow!

Thanks! I'm not counting it as lucid, just as semi (blue is my semi-lucid color). It may have been a super low level lucid but the ramifications of breathing through a plugged nose were entirely lost on me except for the slight confusion at the end about what this meant for the people all around me.

Interesting that the recall was almost all pretty late, after about 6-6.5 hours.

Congrats on the ld! Love the RCing theme, sounds like you had a lot of fun with DCs.

Also, fantastic recall!

Ha, I thought usually people were missing their pants at important meetings.
Good call avoiding those thugs, what was Wife DC thinking!?

walking through family where the women have really strange breasts, don't stop to look because the mother is holding a revolver

Ahhhahahaha
I love it.

I am not the only one who has to stealth and complete missions for no reason in my dreams? Oh, thanks god!

Sometimes people hold a pistol in my dreams, too but they never actually shoot or hit as they need awfully long to aim even if I am running in a straight line.

"I'm teaching my son to drive!" then I get angry and chase them off, throwing swiss cheese at them

Next time I encounter any thugs, I'll remember to bring some cheese with me.

cat walks and sits on guy's face

ehehehe

nice to see that you enjoy yourself with that peach instead of doing some points! That´s what i call having clear priorities

Thanks!

The most important rescue strategy is just assuming you're still dreaming. Entering "the void"[*] is NOT the end of a dream. It is just a brief break period for your "dream hardware." Keep thinking about your dream scenes you just experienced and usually that's all it takes for them to come back. Physical contact is important, too: rub your hands, dance around, feel your dream body, try to keep your dream body active. If you feel it's your waking body you're starting to move, then I'd say stop the motion, and concentrate on keeping your mind dreamy and on the topic of the recent dream.

I had good luck with asking DCs to pull me back in in this dream, and paying attention to body sensations and critical reflection (hearing my mother's voice). With experience you'll come up with your own ways. I've also had in the past good luck with flying out of the void. In fact, I can't think of a recent dream where I *didn't* save from the void at least once or more -- it's just comes with experience and the expectation that you *can* get back out.
[*] (as most of us call it, meaning loss of visuals, I've experienced dark (mostly) or white (rarely), it sort of looks like the back of your eyelids in the dark). Who knows what it really is? Your brain rebooting (lucid dreaming seems to take more brain power than non-lucid dreaming?)? A semi-wakeup? An incomplete dream transition and your mind is gathering material for the next scene? Some or all of these? The point is you can absolutely continue, just keep thinking you're still in the dream until it's unavoidably obvious that you've waken up. Once you get enough experience with "the dream feeling," and what your dream body feels like vs. your waking one, you'll know fairly certainly if you're still dreaming or solidly awake.

Congrats to this awsome LD!
i really need to try some of your rescue stategies. why shouldn´t stabilizing be fun too right?

Thanks for the spoilers. After I decided to click the first one and skimmed the text I was like "Okay, yup, there's a reason for the spoilers."

I include these sexy time sections simply because I want to remember my dreams accurately. I realize not everybody wants to read that stuff, especially since I like to write explicit details.

Awesome FM!! I am so happy to see you extend and extend your lucid dream. Very impressive. Isn't it therapeutic to see a deceased loved one while lucid?

It took me G to really get to the next level of lengthy extensions and multiple scene LD's with sustained awareness but it sounds like you are doing it through your sustained practices! Congratulations!!

Congrats on this truly epic dream, FryingMan!
I'm so glad you got to see your mom, that is really special.
Nice work with all the saves, and great work refocusing your attention to remove the towel/sheet!
It's cool that you remembered some of the TotM song in-dream, too!
Very impressive recall as always, congrats again!

Thanks 3C, I haven't even written this one out fully yet, I still plan to. I think I still have the voice notes, almost forgot what "semicolon" meant but I remember now (I saw some writing where there was a semi-colon as the first character after opening quotes and thought that was an unusual and new form of grammar (argh: unusual + new = dream!) . Forgot to mention trying to get our boom box back from the guy at the gym.

Wonderful experience with your mom, FryingMan. Thanks for sharing with us.

I'm so happy for you. The way you wrote the meeting was beautiful. There are so many wonderful people in life.

Unfortunately she passed away a few months ago, which is why this meeting was so meaningful.
