      The FA night (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a night with plenty of FA and real awakenings. I'm not even sure about which ones are real and which ones are not, so I will jot fragments of everything I can recall.

      - My wife was on most of them.
      - I wanted to do some stuff around home but my wife did not.
      - In some of my FA, my wife also wakes up and pretends we are going to do as planned.
      - One of my old cell phones was still working.
      - I played basketball with some friends.
      - I was out of the game, but at some points I would get the ball and pass it to my friends. For some odd reason, it was not cheating. The other team did not complain.
      - A few of my friends critiquized a guy on his back.
      - More basketball game and chit chat about stuff of Internet.
      - I felt bad when I woke in the morning, but can't recall why.

      Handling flowers to entities and jumping over the pit after mocking people (MILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a false awakening. I always do RC when I wake up does not matter where, when or how. I was in my bed and my hands looked blurry. The entire room looked blurry and I realized it was a dream I walked away from bed and started to explore. I was looking for something to read so I would reinforce my lucidity. At the same time, I would hold tighter to the dream without exhausting my lucidity. I went to the main door of my house and there was a poster on my door. I knew that I have no such thing as poster in my waking home so I tried to read it. I saw everything blurry so I got closer to try to read it. As I approached the door I was able to walk through it. The door opened itself so I exited my home. The exit was the same, the same stairs and everything was normal. It was night. While I was walking I remembered I had to give a flower to some one. A weird entity appears in front of me. It was as big as a regular cat, but it was pink. It had two wings and a female voice. The entity was female. I pulled a stick from nowhere and tried to turn it into a flower. I placed my hand on the stick and the entity appeared to be happy. She knew what I was doing. A few purple sprouts appeared on the stick. I wanted to do my job well done so I kept concentrating. These sprouts became bigger and bigger until they became something like lilies. However, in the dream I felt it was a type of flower that you can find in a cactus. The stick was not longer a stick but a bouquet full of purple flowers. I handed it to the pink entity and she got very happy.

      I walked away. I was walking on the street and it was day. I wanted to perform another reality check to keep up with my lucidity. I looked at my left hand, my thumb was missing, I looked at my right hand, two fingers were missing. I also felt my phone vibrate in my shirt pocket, but my phone was in my pants pocket. I found it weird so pulled my phone And actually it was weird because my phone was in my desk and I have nothing in bed that vibrates. Nothing from walking life was near me except of my bed, covers, pillow and wife. I pulled my phone and I felt like staring at it to set what was going on. It was a phone I do not own and it was doing funny stuff. The vividness of the dream skyrocketed. Too many reality checks in a row and the detail grew. I could see everything very clear. They sky was very clear and blue. I could feel the wind in my face, hear the sound of the cars... everything. I felt very happy.
      I saw suddenly a few skyscrapers. I remembered I had to sky dive from one of them to complete the whole lucid task. All the skyscrapers where in the other side of the road. I felt I was for a while in the dream and it was very vivid so I was not afraid of waking up. I took flight. This time I did not need to perform my typical three jumps to fly. I just floated and started to fly. When I had a considerable height and I was heading to the skyscraper, the wind started to blow hard. I could not move, I was paralyzed in the air. Slowly the wind was pushing me back. I held to a tree and the wind blew even harder. I could hold still until the wind stopped. Then I kept flying towards to the skyscraper until I reach the top. There was a parking lot on the very top of the building. The sound of the street was low. I was pretty high. I walked around the parking lot. The whole lot was surrounded by a metal fence (so people would not fall off) I was going to jump out but I found something funnier. I heard there was a lady in the lot so I wanted to freak her out. She was parked next to the edge of the building. I jumped over her car and started to mock her. I started to make noises, to jump on her car and laugh and her. She told me she was going to call the police. She pulled her cell phone and started to call. When she was done, I jumped over the edge of the building. She started to scream. I reached the ground very fast. It was fun!! There was a policeman coming towards me so I decided to bounce back to the top of the building. The police man was dressed like a S.W.A.T. but he was a regular policeman. However, I crashed in the ground. Did not hurt a bit, but the policeman grabbed me. I started to spin to teleport and go crazy as my tasks were accomplished. However, everything became dark. I knew I was about to wake up, so I kept spinning. I woke up
    3. In a hotel... on a hot day

      In a hotel... on a hot day (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a false awakening in a hotel. I usually perform RC when I wake up, but it seems I forgot to do it this time. I was thinking I had to write down my dreams and I was trying to recall them. My dream turned in third person and I saw myself lying in bed (in the hotel) tried to recall when I suddenly fall asleep. I find out that I started to dream. I knew that my dream body was in one dream and a second dream was about to start. I knew I had to transfer my dream body from dream #1 to dream #2. I was lying down in the bed (in the hotel) concentrating. I could not leave dream #1 so I opened my eyes for a second and closed it again. I realized I've lost both dreams. I decided to sit in bed.
      The TV was showing "The Simpsons" My wife was next to me. It was a very hot day and the AC was not working. My wife had a water spray and sprayed herself with it. She claimed it was a hot day but she had to time to take a shower. In the TV, Homer Simpson was sweeping. He was outdoors in the country, crying and surrounded by typical Simpsons characters. Snake approached him. He wore his regular clothes and started to dance with Homer. After this I woke up I can't recall what happened next both on the TV and on the hotel. I had some difficulty recalling this dream, but I think I got it entirely.

    4. Getting a Red Honda Bike and getting it stolen

      Getting a Red Honda Bike and getting it stolen (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      For some unknown reason. I bough a bike. It was big, red and shinny. I loved the bike. I felt I needed that bike to go to work. Probably my wife got her driver's license and she was driving our car. I was excited about my new bike. I never drove one before (I only rode bikes) and I had to go home for the first time with my bike.
      The bike looked something like this:







      I started riding it. I could hear the engine and feel the wind in my face. I felt proud of my bike. It was night, and I was tired so I went to sleep to a hotel. Something happened here, but I can't recall.

      I have a False Awakening in the same hotel room. The first thing I though it was about my bike. I knew I had the keys with me but I wanted to make sure it was OK. I left the hotel. I started to ride my bike again. I've been riding for a while, I rode over country and on the freeway. I parked my bike in a mall. I was going to get some supplies for the bike and a helmet, for some unknown reason, I had no helmet. I spend a while in this mall, a few females wanted to ride the bike with me and I can remember I ate something in the mall, but once more, I grabbed my bike and left. I think I did not buy the helmet after all.

      Night falls again and I stop in a small house in the middle of a forest. I did not feel like leaving my bike outside, I was worried some wild animals could damage it. Both the bike and I entered the wooden house. It was warm inside and it was almost empty.







      Inside, there was a mattress and a small table. I lied down in the mattress and the bike was on my right. I fell asleep and False Awakened in the morning. I opened one eye and I saw proudly my bike next to me. The front wheel was touching my mattress.
      I had another False Awakening. I think I was in a car repair workshop. I was worried if my bike was OK. I saw that my bike was a little damaged, but it had minor scratches. Everything looked OK. I left the workshop and rode it. I've been riding for a while until the dream vanishes.

      I had a False Awakening in a small store. A couple of people entered the store and they had their face covered. I felt scared because I though they were going to pull out a gun and rob the store. I started to walk backwards slightly until they turned around and started to leave. I felt better as I saw the face of one of them. They were just covering their mouth and nose.

      I suddenly realize that my bike was not there. When I fell asleep, I was holding the keys of the bike and the bike was parked next to me, inside the store. (The wooden house appeared to be a store) I started to feel worried. The bike was brand new and it was already stolen from me. I had another False Awakening. I was suddenly in a different room, still thinking about my stolen bike. I was planning to go out of the house and look if the bike was parked there, however, I felt that the bike was really stolen because I knew well where I saw the bike before it was gone
      I suddenly realized I was dreaming. I was not feeling good so I just started to push my eyes and close them thighs. I was trying to wake up myself. The image started to fade until I realized myself, "Why I am waking up? My bike is not stolen. I can summon it back." I decided to move away from bed. I performed a RC and looked at my hands. They looked fine... or at least if what I first thought

      This might be because just before going again to bed, I read this:

      Quote Originally Posted by Serenity

      So that could help. My subconscious mixed "my hands actually seems to be okay" and "RC's have a 100% fail rate to me"
      Sorry Serenity, no hard feelings!!!! I kept lucid after all, but your statement mixed in my dream!


      I looked a second time to my hands because I could swear they were blurry. I had all five fingers in my left hand, however, the Middle Finger was forked into two small fingers. On the right had I had some anomalies that I can't recall. I left the room and I realized that my house was in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by mountains. It was a wooden house and it looked very cool. The house had two floors and I was in the top floor, so I started going to the main floor. I pinched my nose to see if I was able to breath. I was able to breath, however, I did breath like if I had a bad bad cold with mucus. I cleared my nose and kept walking. My dream was clear, but I wanted to make it crystal clear. I remembered that in other lucids after performing several reality checks I could reach that point. I was about to leave the house when I looked around for books, to try to read. I see a shelve full of books so I grabbed one. The title looked blurry but I opened the book and try to read. Everything was blurry and I could not read. I looked away but did not reach the crystal clear dream, so I stared at the book to try to read something, hoping the text would do something funny and reach perfect clarity. Bad choice. I did not remember that staring at something in your dream can screw it. My dream started to fade. I was thinking, "No, No, No, Nooo!!! And I started to look around to try to recover stability. The dream faded completely and disappeared along with my lucidity

      I have another False Awakening. I wake up in a room, similar to mine. Even I could see one of my cats sleeping in the pillow in the same position where she was before I fell asleep for real I grabbed my notebook and started to jot down my dream about the bikes. I could not write well but this time I performed no reality checks. I though I was about to fall asleep again, so I allowed myself to fall back. I think I had to beds and I was going to fall between them, but I did not care, somehow I know I was not going to get hurt. I started to perform a WILD and I could feel my body paralyzed and I saw some hipnagogic images (yes, in my own dream) until I felt asleep and woke up in my real room for real.
    5. Ending my job and moving somewhere

      Ending my job and moving somewhere (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had various FA and I think I lost a couple of dreams, but I'm unsure.

      I can remember that for some unknown reason i got fired from one of my jobs (if you followed my journal you know I work at a Olive Oil Store, well, this dream I got fired from my other job, a Spain Imported products retailer)
      I did not feel bad at all, I somehow was OK with it. I was thinking I could use the extra money from the job but it was not strictly necessary. My boss did not gave me a strong reason of firing me.
      My wife and Hanna (a co-worker from the Olive Oil Store) were together in our place. It was a different place. I think it was a studio were I lived in Chicago with my wife a few years ago.

      We were moving to another place. I remember entering the apartment and seeing a big white carpet. There were two big suitcases at the end of the room.
      The room looked like this (without the table)







      All the furniture was gone. There was a small room with a few boxes. I asked my wife and she told me that those boxes were going to be left there, for the next tenant. I remember seeing several bottles. One of them was Marie Brizar







      I had a feeling that a few really really old wine bottles I have at my parent's house were going to be left there and I complained. We were talking about the moving and my job where I got fired. I claimed it was not my fault, that I was doing my job well done. Hanna told me that it had to be my fault as I got fired and I arrived home without another (new) job. I claimed I had my Olive Oil store job and that I was fine. I woke up.

      In a sleep laboratory (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was in a sleep laboratory. There was a nice lady that told me she was very proud of me. I had connected a device to my head that was able to read my REM phases and also it was able to read when I was dreaming deeply.







      I asked her if the chip could download my dreams to a file to make them viewable. She told me it was not possible, but she explained to me that it beeped when I was having a vivid dream only. She told me it did beep a lot. In fact, I heard it beeping a couple of times.

      I had a FA somewhere I can't recall. I had my dream journal and I jotted down my dreams. I wrote down a list about a previous dream I had, but I can't recall it. I woke up for real.

    7. Wife is hearing music and making noise very early morning

      Wife is hearing music and making noise very early morning (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a FA in my room. I remember I awoke and I opened my eyes slightly but I did not move. I was up to date with all my dreams so I planned to attempt DEILD. It's a fake DEILD, as I was dreaming everything. I felt my body vibrate. It vibrated very hard and I though I was going to have an OBE. I was a little excited and afraid, but I just kept meditating. I was happy because whatever it leaded to (LD or OBE) it was going to be a nice experience.

      My wife broke my concentration as she was hearing music and news out loud. I could hear the music and the news coming from her phone. She talked to me a couple of times and asked me a few questions. I got mad at her and I told her she screwed my DEILD up. She also got mad at me claiming that she could never talk with me. We've been mad for a short time until my wife asked me if I wanted to know what happened.

      She told me something like, "Do you know that plane that almost crashed in Salamanca? Well, a lot of people cried and freak out. It was worse than the earthquake at Haity. More people suffered in Salamanca." I woke up.

      The cat is outside (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a false awakening in my room.

      I somehow knew I was dreaming before the RC, but the RC confirmed it. I do a RC and it fails. I left my bed slowly as I did not want to wake up sooner than I expected. I walked around my house until I felt my dream was a little more stable. My house as usual was very dark. I decided to leave my place, so I opened my front door. It was not locket.
      One of my cats was right on the other side of the door. I was scared because I though she was going to scape. My lucidity was gone and the dream faded.

      Earthquake (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a false awakening in my room and the ground was shaking. The feeling was the same that a recent big earthquake I felt in San Diego. I was hopping my home would not fall. I asked my wife if she felted it. She was drowsy and did not answer me.

    10. The Earth melts while I enjoy a chocolate cake in the moon

      The Earth melts while I enjoy a chocolate cake in the moon (MILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was at home, in my room. It was day and I was going to leave somewhere with my wife. I became lucid instantly

      My wife was ready to go, but I walked around home to make sure my dream was stable enough. I had a small flight around home, but nothing fancy, I levitated a bit and flew around.

      I told my wife, "Hold on, this is a Dream and I'm lucid. I want to make it stable first!!" She looked at me like if I was nuts. I remember that I could blast the Earth and destroy it (for the "End of the World" task of the year) I rose my hand and created an energy blast. However, the blast was not stable so I decided to stop and hold tighter to the dream.

      I remembered that a user in this forum had in his signature "Pray" as a goal within his lucid dream. I prayed for a few moments to accomplish it (It's not my goal, but I wanted to do it anyway)

      I appeared at a theme park. I enjoyed the theme park, rode a few things, walked around and observed how fun were having other DC. I remember the park was very vivid. The sky was very blue, the theme park was crowded of people and I could see a lot of detail.

      I remember about doing the task of the year. I thought that a gladiator fight would be easier as I was in a theme park. I started to look for gladiators. I could not find any so I asked a policeman and to a couple of DC. They directed me and I kept walking without any success. I found a kiosk store for Cricket Wireless. One of the employees grabbed my arm and I pushed him abruptly. The other employee told him, "Hold on. Not yet." I asked him if he knew were the amphitheater was. He pointed me to it and asked me, "So, what cell phone do you have now?" I replied, "I have a HTC Mytouch. Cricket does not offer such phone, so sorry." Both salesman appeared sad.

      I kept walking and I found a weird restaurant were I was indicated. I asked one of the employees about the gladiators. She told me, "Yeah. It's here." I entered the restaurant and walked down a few stairs. I got to a room with not much light. The decoration was old school. There were a few tables around. The tables were round with a candle in the middle. At the end, there was a small theater. There were Mariachis dancing and singing in Spanish. I asked another employee about the gladiators and she told me it was going to be next. I was a little annoyed because I did not want to wait, I was afraid to wake up. I realized that if I saw the gladiator fight, it would not be valid. I was somewhere in the future and I had to be in the actual time in order to accomplish it, so I just flew away.

      I was walking with another friend. I told him I wanted to do the Task of the Year. He looked at me with a weird face. I decided that as I was in the future, I could complete the task, "End of the World" I knew that it was OK if I destroyed the Earth in order to provoke the End of the World. I remembered I could do energy blasts.

      I flew to a small building and my friend did as well. I've made an energy blast twice big as a basketball. It looked like this:







      The blast was intense, but it had not much color and I felt it was like a bubble. I threw it in the water and I saw it vanish inside the crust of the Earth. My friend laughed at and and claimed it did nothing. I was sure it would damage the Earth but I did not know how, so I told him to hold on.

      Suddenly, I see bubbles in the water and my friend says, "Oh... how scary." I replied, "Oh yeah? Just hold!" Suddenly, a giant gaiser showed up. The water was very hot and it reached the sky. My friend said, "Oh.. a geiser. Like if you are going to destroy the Earth like that." A few DC freaked out, but not many. I told him, "The gaiser will raise the Earth Temperature... but one gaiser may not be enough for you, how about several?" My friend stopped laughing and started to worry.

      I threw several energy blasts and the same effect happened. All the DC were freaking out, screaming and running. There were several gaisers and the whole atmosphere was turning into a wall of vapor. The heat skyrocketed and the North Pole started to melt. The water level started to raise very fast.

      I had an unfinished building on my back, so I started to climb it the same way an ape would do it







      My friend came with me until I reached the top of the building. The water level was on my head, so I decided to swim to a taller building. The water was very hot, but it was bearable. I asked my friend if we would have time to swim before everything starts to boil. I get tired of dealing with it and I just jump and reach the moon. My friend followed me. My friend had a chocolate cake in his hands. He claimed it was from his country.

      I was observing the fate of the Earth from the moon. The Earth was all blue, I could not see any of the continents. A huge mass of clouds covered the entire earth. This mass of clouds was thinker and thinker until I witnessed the Earth melting itself. The whole planet melted and disappeared.

      I was in the mood, enjoying the cake proud of my accomplishment. Neil Armstrong came to my mind, and I though in summoning him, however, I remembered that I was only allowed one task per dream so I passed.

      I observed the moon to see if I found someone such Raven or Wakingnomad, but I saw no one but my friend. I could see a few vagrant images from videogames floating around the moon. I also saw a pikachu's head.

      I was happy enjoying the moon but I decided it was time to wake up and write down the dream. It passed a lot of time and I was afraid of forgetting it. I summoned a bed, lied down and closed my eyes.

      I had a false awakening without lucidity. I told my wife I had to write down my dream. I ran out of my bed and went to the backyard. I sat in a iron chair and used an iron table (classic white garden iron table) I opened my DJ and it was full, no room to write the dream down. I was afraid I would forget the dream so I called my wife for another journal.

      She told me that before getting my first journal, I had to remove all the cash and credit cards attached to my dream journal (There were credit cards attached like additional pages of the journal and business cards from several companies) I grabbed a few $20 bills and put them in my pocket while I laughed. The dream vanishes and I wake up.

      FA: Remove target dream from the brain (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I usually get tons of FA in my dreams, even three or more in a row, threatening my recalll as I write them down over and over, but usually I'm not fooled by them.

      I had a false awakening and I wrote down my last dream. It was a long dream. I talked with a friend about stuff of Super Game Operator and I bad game operator I knew and I was planning to fire him. I woke up.

      I tried to write down the dream and my short FA dream... the first dream was wiped out from my mind. I could not even remember a feeling. I'm not even sure if within the FA dream I dreamed I had a dream. But I recalled nothing but the FA. So, for once FA success in erasing a dream from my mind

      Bottomless pit with a cork at the end inside a cave in the dessert (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was inside something that looked like cave. I think it was dark, but it was lit inside as I could see everything perfectly. There was a party going on. There was a mix of human people and citizens from Bikini Bottom (Sponge Bob) The cave was brown and there was a large table with alcoholic drinks, non alcoholic drinks and random food. There was one fish lady (a female random character from Sponge Bob) asking for drinks.
      I do not know why but I was next to a well. The well was said to be bottomless.
      I knew if I jumped inside the well I was not going to die as I could not die in the dreamworld, or if I did I would just regenerate somehow So I jumped inside the well. It was very dark inside and I was falling for a while. I reached the bottom (it was bottomless with a bottom) I landed gently and I did not get hurt. There was a HUGE CORK at the bottom of the well. I removed the cork (it was bigger than me) and there was another hole. Darker. I jumped inside Something happened here but can't say, lost it while jotting it down I was in the party once more, inside the cave. The party was still going on. Same human and Sponge Bob's people. One character told me if I wanted to go to a room with her Can't recall if it was human or fish I told her, "Thanks but I rather not" She walked away. I think I ate something at the party, unsure though. Fake Awakening 1 I woke up somewhere. I grabbed my notebook and started to write down my dream. I was able to write, however, I finished too fast to write all the details. I did not try to to read what I just wrote. Fake Awakening 2 I woke up in the cave again. I jotted down my entire dream in a notebook and put it into my pocket. I walked outside the cave with satisfaction because I was able to wake up myself without a clock and jot down my dream. I exited the cave. It was dawn. I could see some soft light beams coming from the sun. The exit of the cave leaded me to a dessert. It was yellow. There was nothing but sand. Slowly the image vanished I woke up happy in bed real awakening because I was able to jot down my dream, until I realized that I wrote nothing. Grabbed my notebook and finally jotted the dream for real.

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a great many lucids in an afternoon nap today. Too much of a good thing, I think- I can't remember them in very great detail.

      I had a FA in bed in my old house. I was so drowsy I didn't notice where I was right away. I tried to DEILD, thinking I had woken up for real. I fancied a party, as I was looking forward to new year's eve, so I imagined myself in a nightclub. An absolutely awesome song was playing. It was completely made up by my mind, I'd never heard it before. It was of the same hip-hop/pop genre they play in a lot of clubs (specifically my ususal one). I'm not really a huge fan of that type of music, being more of a rocker myself, but to me it sounds like partyin'. The song went on for about three minutes, and even had a chorus! I danced a path around the club looking for someone I knew, but no luck. The stability started to go a bit, so I grabbed onto a metal pole to "feel my way back in".

      Gradually, I was back in the bed like before, but I could still feel the pole in my hand. I was gripping it quite tightly.
      (yes ha ha.) I was however, still dreaming that I was awake. Since it felt like I still had the pole in my hand as I went to sit up, I reasoned that it must be a FA. I felt some pressure on my leg and looked down. There was a dude with blonde hair and glasses sitting there. No sooner had I seen him than he shot up towards me. His head turned into that of a tiger and he snarled viciously. He was a centimetre from my face- it was as vivid as real life. I knew it was a dream but it still shocked me awake.

      Bus Ride (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      A major dream sign I've noted (can't believe I didn't see it before) is buses. No exaggeration, since starting this DJ, I've had about 10 dreams involving buses. That's like 12%. I'll be keeping an eye out for them in future.

      I've been having decent success with DILD's the last few days. I think of it as a lazy approach. I wake up in the morning, then just go back to sleep as if it were a WBTB, but fall asleep normally. I tend to become lucid naturally near the start of a dream.

      FA in my old caravan. It was night time, and very dark. There were no lights on outside. My brother Andrew was asleep in a bed across the room. I saw a shape move on the other side of the door. (The door is made of frosted glass) A huge brown dog phased through and was now in the room with us. I nearly shat a brick. I'm not afraid of dogs at all in real life, but there was something terrifying about this enormous one which had found me in the middle of the night. I became semi lucid as it advanced on me. I was sitting up in bed and made up my mind not to run away from it. I leaned down so my face was level with the dog's and stared it out. It got closer and closer and I kept glaring at it. Soon our noses were nearly touching, and the dog's face was all I could see. Then it vanished.



      I woke up Andrew, who had slept through the dog's intrusion. I told him that this was a dream, but he seemed reluctant to accept it. I looked at my hand and saw way too many fingers. I showed it to Andrew and asked him what he could see- but he didn't give me a solid answer. I considered the possibility of this being a shared dream since it really seemed like him, but I doubt it was.

      I looked out the caravan window to my left. There was a double decker, open-topped bus parked outside. I closed my eyes and tried to teleport on board. At first, I was pretty sure it hadn't worked, but when I opened my eyes, I was on the upper level, at the front. Andrew was with me. The bus started moving, driven by Idon'tknowwho. I kept looking at my deformed hand and trying to get Andrew to comment on it, but to no avail. We held on to the railing at the front of the bus as it went far too fast over bumps and round corners- it was like a roller coaster.

      Duelling My Subconscious (WILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      My memory of this dream is somewhat warped, in that I can't remember what order things happened in. There were a lot of FA's which chopped it up a bit- most of which I was 100% sure were real.

      FA 1:
      I was in my bed, really disoriented. I had no idea what was going on, and I had a suspicion I might still be asleep, so I tried to roll out of my body. First to the right, where I rolled about half a metre into my desk which moved a good foot or so. Then I did a 180 degree spin so my head was at the bottom of the bed. This didn't even convince me. By this time my various blankets were a real mess, and I tried half-assedly to fix them and went "back to sleep". What convinces me I was asleep (apart from the easy 180 degree rotation), was that I had an extra yellow blanket.

      FA 2:
      I was in the bathroom of my old house, looking in the mirror. My vision was a bit blurry, but I put this down to having just got out of bed. I was thinking about lucid dreaming at the time, doing my ususal mental exercise, "How would I even know if this was a dream, they're always so realistic!" I tapped the wall beneath the mirror with my knuckles, just to reassure myself of reality. I was literally 110% sure I was awake, it was so lifelike. Just for that extra guarantee, I looked at my left hand. About seven fingers!
      "No fuckin' way," I murmured. It had been about a week since I'd had a lucid experience of this quality and I was very pleased. I went out of the bathroom and found myself in my current house. It was dark outside, I could see through the glass on the front door, which was at the bottom of the stairs. My mum was trying to get the cat inside and lock up. I went down to help. Strangely, there were two cats which looked identical. I picked up the imposter by mistake and it scratched my face. My cat is friendly, so I decided it wasn't that one. I looked to my right, and saw a blonde guy getting into a yellow lambourghini. I wanted a go in his car, so I called over to him. He glared at me and sped off. Annoyed, I hovered up to streetlight height and flew after him. Before I even left my driveway, I was slowed by an invisible force. I turned round, and saw a guy about my age with his arm outstretched. It seemed he was using telekenisis to keep me from flying away. He was looking at me evily.

      I descended to waist height and prepared to take him on. From looking at him, I could somehow tell that his name was Johnny, and he was no ordinary DC. I tried to blast him out of the way, or throw him with telekenisis, but he resisted my efforts. As I thought about what I could use next, he created a fireball in his palm and hurled it at me. I dodged it, and sent one back. The fireball looked like heavily compressed fire. It was completely spherical, and much brighter than I expected. It looked like I was winning, until he sent out his Pokémon. Yes, Pokémon. I can't remember what Pokémon it was or what move it used, but it quickly overwhelmed me.
      I accidentally lost touch with the dream. At the time I figured it was probably due to lack of sensory input. I was just flying around, not touching anything. Or it might just have been the end of a REM cycle.
