Wow, now that's a summon! That's some brutal dreamscape destruction, talk about having your emotions played out in large-scale. In dreams, the figurative (white-hot magma rage!!) becomes so very literal. It's amazing how much emotions increase in intensity when you're dreaming, even a lucid dream. When I'm at my best in a DILD, I can quell the emotion residue that may remain from a bad or nightmarish start, but it's not easy in every case. Here it would have been much harder than usual because lucidity itself was what made you even realize you had anything to be angry about! Having said that, totally boss dream control!
Sounds like I need to check it out! Summoning is always pretty cool, but this kind of summoning is a whole different deal. You'd have to call this a mega-summon when you call up something so massive that it does essentially a full scene-wipe and winds up changing every inch of the dreamscape. I guess that strong emotion in dreams is a tough beast to tame no matter what. This must be why dream yoga emphasizes the very moderate, detached approach to emotion. Sure does make some cool stuff happen though!
I'll be drinking and dreaming this weekend for the first time in ages... I'll be interested to see what effect it has. Glad your hangover is clearing up now!
Hehe, have you read my other entry? If you want to talk about negative emotional energy. X) And thanks! I was shocked myself. I hadn't really had a lucid for a while before that and the ones that I can recall didn't particularly stand out much. I'm definitely excited to see what more I can do with this!! Summoning has always been a favorite power of mine especially as it relates to things like this wave, I always thought it would be cool to build up my dream self into some kind of elemental witch. My dreams actually used to fall apart really easily from negative emotions too. I think what's really started to change it for me is just that I've gotten so used to immediately channeling my strong emotions into some kind of on-the-fly dream control. It seems to have worked out pretty well in my favor, though I'm starting to think I may have to learn to hold back with it more lest I risk obliterating the entire dream world every time I want to see something cool lol.
Wwwwow on that tidal wave! Amazing dream control to call up something like that. And very cool use of negative emotional energy, which is so often the beginning of the end for effective dream control in my own LDs. Emotions that seem so easily subdued in waking life just jump right off the leash in LDs a lot of times. Maybe things didn't turn out exactly like you wanted, but this made for a way cool action dream and some seriously advanced summoning!
