    This is a dream from the morning of 12/15/2013.

    Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

    Lucid #175: The War of Red and Blue

    I’m in a building that looks like my new office, sitting next to my friend “Leroy”. He complains that his chair is uncomfortable and moves to a row of tables that’s just behind us. While Leroy goes on and on about how much more comfortable this part of the office is, I notice that Dwight Schrute from The Office is sitting here as well. I know that this is wrong and become lucid.

    I walk over to the window and phase out to the street. The roadway looks similar to the one that the android and I saw in the previous dream, but now everything is vivid and quite detailed. It’s night and in the distance I see what looks like a spacecraft. Soon I see more and more ships flying through the sky. Before long they’re shooting at one another!

    I take to the sky to get a better view and see that the sky is filled with blue and red ships firing at one another. Each building in the city is also apparently affiliated with either blue or red. You can tell because each window, rather than being simply transparent, glows brightly in either a blue or red.

    I fly for a while and at one point a trio of red ships spot me and train their fire on me (just as I worry this will happen.) Fortunately, I shrug it off, feeling nothing more than a slight impact.

    Flying higher, I soar over the top of the conflict. It’s just war as far as I can see, blue vs. red. Ships explode and buildings crumble, but from this high up I feel distanced from the whole thing. In spite of all the carnage below, the feeling is almost serene. I fly like this for a while, just observing until
    the dream ends.

      Blue v red reminds me of politics.

      Ha, good point! No wonder flying above it all felt so serene!

      I would love to have seen that!! I always loved good space adventure movies. So you must have been seen as being with Blue since Red fired on you...

      Yeah, it was a fun little sci-fi romp! Yeah, I don't know whether I was wearing blue colors or if I just got caught in the crossfire. but a warzone's no place for a peaceful lucid. These things are much more entertaining from a distance.

      Wow, it's amazing how this whole scenario started with just one spaceship. That's the magic of our subcon. Great ld and nicely done being invincible to ship attacks!

      You're right, it's cool how the mind will latch onto something that gets your attention / captivates you in a scene and tends to expand on it. (For better or for worse!)

      It's a very visual way to see how a train of thought can get going in our minds. Some of them are fun to ride, while some are less so, of course. For the most part, though, it's been my experience that if we're relaxed, enjoy the process, and can manage not to worry too much about it, it's great fun watching the way that dreams unfold.

      Thanks! I can't promise to remember to always keep my invincibility intact, but it was very handy for staying on track and not freaking out. (Something I am capable of, unfortunately!)
