    Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

    Lucid #233: Rucksack

    I have a false awakening in a hotel room. It’s dark and my oldest son E is standing nearby. He asks me where Wife is and when I don’t know the answer, I feel terribly worried.

    Another false awakening, and this time Wife is lying on the bed. She stirs and sits up. Confused, I complain to her that she shouldn’t have just disappeared earlier without telling us where she was going. She says something strange about the time of day and after a moment of feeling strange,     I realize that this is a dream.

    I walk to the hotel room window and phase through to the outside, finding myself 25 feet or so up in the air. I drift gently to the ground, finding myself in an alley during daytime. I’m behind a brick building and sign with fancy lettering reads:

    “←Tavern→”

    This sounds interesting, and apparently either way will take me there. I hop along through city streets until I come to a plaza at the base of a tall office building. I quite unexpectedly encounter an old friend “Rucksack”.

    “Hi!” I say. I’m surprised, because he and I haven’t really talked in a few years.

    “Hey,” he says. “I really like the stuff that you’re doing on DreamViews and I wanted to buy you some extra <dream control tricks?>. When you log on, you’ll see a $50 donation. That’s from me!”

    I thank him, and he quickly leaves. I wonder what this new dream control could be. Unsure what to do next, I bound joyously around the plaza for a bit before     the dream ends.

      Funny! Too bad that $50 isn't there.

      Ha ha, sadly, no! I did check to see whether there was an unexpected windfall of Community Hall points waiting for me, though!

      Such a profound thought/statement! Dreams are awesome!

      I've just read your next dream too, it's interesting that the tavern kept showing up!

      Your awareness is really great - your lucidity triggers often aren't something really strange and obviously dream-like, it seems more like an internal feeling that tips you off. Your day practice is paying off, keep it up!

      Congrats on another night of multiple LDs!

      Dreams really are awesome, aren't they? I should make sure that I have this attitude for when I'm trying to summon you, too! "←Dreamer→"

      Thanks, I think you're right! Even though t wasn't gravity per se that hit me here, there was that overall feeling of Now hang on a minute, what was I supposed to be...? Oh that's right!

      As we are skyping this very second about how I've slacked off just a bit on this in the last 24 hours, your comment leaves me very motivated to refocus on this!

      Yay, do it! I will be starting a new day schedule from tomorrow with MILD meditation as well as Gravity RC. Gonna really hone in on my day work, so I'm sure I'll be reminding you all day to join me.

      I love that Rucksack was going to get you extra dream control techniques! Very video-game style! You met one task (finding your old friend) and as a result you get leveled up . Good job on hanging in there for the lucid transition. Hopefully you will get a chance to talk to Rucksack, in wl, soon.

      Cool dream! It's awesome when DCs offer their help with dream control and giving you cash on top of that!

      The either way tavern sign couldn't be more true! So dreamlike!

      Oh, wait the next entry is about the tavern! >>

      @Dreamer - Thanks, I love it too! Totally true, isn't it? Certainly seems to describe both the way that Dreamer-summoning is going as well as my NLD content.

      I'm happy that even though I was super slow to respond to this comment that I'm still working the gravity RC. Like I've been telling you, my percentages are a little stuck right now, so I'm going to try to up those percentages. Thanks for the encouragement and ideas on that front, too! I'm excited about unlocking this one!

      @darkknightedlady - Thanks, I thought that was cool too! Maybe he thought that I needed it, but I'm not insulted. Never enough dream control! And you're right, I should say hey! I saw movement from him on Facebook for the first time in ages, which was an interesting coincidence.

      @Nyx - You're absolutely right! So nice that we have the power to shape the dreamscape so that it inevitably takes us where we need to go.
