lucid

The first thing I remember is doing a RC. I had a FA, but I kept doing the nose RC, so I realized that I was actually still dreaming. unfortunately my eyes were closed, which is a recipe for disaster for me. I relaxed and tried to DEILD by pulling myself into my HH.

Eventually I made it into a dream, where I was spinning around in dark water. There were a bunch of glowing red bubbles around me. I surfaced and found myself in a cavern, where there was a line of gods and their animals. I talked to a few of them, asking about their powers and whatnot. One of them, which had a raven on his shoulder, said that his raven served as an extra brain for him.

Back to last night's dreams.

A bunch of my classmates and I were travelling by broomstick. I waited in line for the bathroom, which turned out to be just a little plastic toilet seat with water in it. Then I went to look up a map, but I didn't end up using it. Instead I just traveled with my friend, who said she knew the way.

At some point I became lucid. I thought about going to Shibuya, but instead I was like, "ehh, screw it, this is fun" and kept flying around. I told myself I'd go to Shibuya later (and of course I didn't). There was something about my cousins too. This dream went on for quite a while, but I can't remember the specifics. I do remember tying balloons to my bed so that flying would be easier.

I actually don't remember the non lucid part of this dream, but here's what I wrote down...

We were refugees in a western city/town. We had horses, and my friend's horse almost died, but she fed it some essential equipment instead of letting it. Apparently we destroyed buildings...

We went to a little gazebo. As a bunch of other people came in, I floated up and flew out the window. I came to a roof where there were tons of shooting stars. A bunch of couples were sitting on the roof either kissing or watching the stars. One of the guys (a rather ugly guy) got down from the roof. I followed him, but he got away. I thought about going to Shibuya again, but decided that I would do this first. A bunch of horses trotted by. I hid behind a tree to avoid getting trampled.

I have no clue what day this dream happened, but...

I was walking down a hall when I did a random RC and became lucid. The dream was surprisingly clear. I remember thinking that it was like I was wearing contacts. I came to a room with a window and a closet. I decided that I should go to Shibuya, so I pictured it and opened the closet door. I was a bit shocked when it worked, although all the buildings were made of wood.

I went through the door and ended up at an ice cream stand, where I stole a cup of vanilla and mint chocolate chip ice cream. The police hunted me down. There was one guy I was particularly scared of. I reminded myself that since this was a dream I could kick ass, but I kept freaking out and ran back through the door.

I flew out the window and ended up at a stadium filled with people where they were holding my trial. I flew over the stadium, but then I started getting heavier and fell. They caught me, put me in a chair in solitary confinement, and gave me an experimental drug that was supposed to cure me of my disobedience. I felt weird, then I woke up.

Brief Lucidity (dild) 1/5

I am laying on the floor of a shabby room with the walls torn out and wires exposed. I watch as a spider the size of a small bird walk on the walls and ceiling. It is yellow and black with a huge stinger. It comes too close for comfort and I exit the room.

Through the living room and into the kitchen I notice I am at grandma's house. Odd. I see an ant on the kitchen floor and return to the living room. I don't know why I am here. I become lucid. I look at my hands and they have an extra finger. I think of my goal. "Need to find my dream guide." I say. But the dream is unstable. I lose vision in my right eye and wake up there after.

Catching up again...

I was walking down a street near my house when I decided to do a reality check. I couldn't seem to count my fingers, so I did a nose RC. I reminded myself to do something later... What was it? Oh right, become lucid. I lost my vision, but I kept walking. I briefly got a scene, but then I woke up.

Crappy, crappy, crappy lucid.

I don't remember the beginning of this dream - its probably the longest one I've had for a while. What I do remember though, are small fragments. It started while I was playing a video game. I thought that this game was rubish because I was driving a car in a city, and the road was made of sqares that moved down when I drove on them, so i kept crashing. After this, I remember watching a war in the city between two robot armies and then they jioned together to fight some other robots that appeared. The next thing I rememeber is being in a building with two or three people in a different city. The city was infested with zombies but i dont remember what we had to do in the building. Anyway I sent a scout helicopter (a mini rc one) to do something (cant remember what) but then a monster/zombie saw it and soon there were loads coming towards the building. I wasn't scared because I knew that we had enough machine guns to stop them. After that I remember going into a zombie infested shopping centre/mall, but the zombies didnt attack if we didnt disturb them. I went into a shop that sold antiques with lots of people inside, and met one of the twins from skins (I dont know which one). She said she lost her sister and naomi so I said i'd help her because it was better than just staying in the shop bored. Then someone shot their gun (i think it was me) and the zombies started to run towards the shop. I pulled down the meshes (things they pull down when they close the shop) but there was a gap where there was no mesh to pull down (the meshes were weird because they wernt flat, they were shaped like tall hill-like things, that are hard to explain). Everyone in the shop started shooting them so they didnt get in. After that we left the mall, then the next thing i remember is seeing lots of zombies escaping the mall, with lots of soldiers shooting them. I tries to help by shooting, but my pen (that was a gun in the dream) didnt workbecause it was a ball-point pen and the soldiers were angry at me because they thought i was have shot the because i was behind them and the zombies were directly in front of them. After that I remember being in an allyway with the twin from skins and then a bunch of bikers were there but I dont remember the rest. I then remember running out of a garden because a REALLY fat zombie (she was shaped like a ball) was chasig after us and was getting even more angry becuase we were using her trampoline to jump over the fence, and she didn't like that (or she didnt like us touching the netting around it). I then remember going back into the fat zombies house, and she had lost weight, and turned to normal. I then said sorry to her for the trampoline thing. I became lucid here and walked around her house, rubbing my hands trying to stay lucid. After that I came out of lucidity and did something else that I can't remember but it might have been something I wrote already because i'm not even sure if its in the right order :S.

Into the Wild

I am in Southern Oregon, in the Red Buttes wilderness, camping with some friends. It is a beautiful summer afternoon. Everyone is doing their own thing and I go to the campfire and see that the salmon steaks that are on a spit are almost done.

I go off to find everyone. They went down the trail that goes South. I walk down the trail and it goes over the summit of a mountain pass and then I am in Northern California. There are redwoods all around suddenly. I am with my friends now and we walk down to a beautiful mountain lake and we decide to go swimming. The edges of the lake have an underwater shelf or ledge so it stays pretty shallow for ten feet or so and then drops off into deep waters. This place is similar to my special place, but it is not the same place.

There we are, swimming in the water, all four of us. On the opposite beach we see four birds: A turkey vulture, an eagle, and two owls. If I were lucid, which I am not, I would look for Darkmatters. Maybe he is one of us four, but I don't know who the other three people are, just that they are my friends.

At the same time, the four birds launch and swoop into the water and swim towards the four of us. Raptors can't swim, can they? But they are swimming. When they get to us they reach out their claws and each one takes one of our hands and leads us back to the opposite shore where they were. Now they sit in the shallow water upon the shelf but they are one giant bird with four heads: an vulture head, an eagle head, and two owl heads.

We get out and explore and we find that there is a bunch of discount outlet stores here! Darn it! I thought I found a remote place in the wilderness where no people go. I tell my friends that the salmon is probably done and we should head back to our camp. But they think I am just making excuses because I am scared of the wilderness. They want to go shoe shopping.


Another Into the Wild

I am kayaking in Alaska with some friends. We kayak up to the edge of a huge glacier. The ice is very beautiful - the way the water is lapping at the edges, making ice caves underneath the glacier at water level. The aqua-blue-white of the ice and the layers of translucents and opaques and the way the light plays with it and the water. So beautiful and peaceful.

Spoiler for big pictures:

I look up. The top of the glacier was WAY up there. It was massive. It reminds me of the cliffs of the Na Pali coast in Kauai, but made of ice. So awesome was this mountain of ice that I became a little nervous should a chunk fall off on me. I did not want an iceberg to fall on me. Also I know how icebergs explode when they land in the water, the same way ice-cubes crackle when you put them in a drink. So I kayaked a safe distance away into the ocean. Then Lo! The Humpback whales arrive!!!!

Spoiler for MORE BIG PICS:

A few times they have showed up in dreams past as harbingers of lucidity.

My friends and I get out of the water just past the glacier and park our kayaks. We knock on the door of some cabin/inn in this fishing village. A man answers the door and invites us in. He is a friend of someone in our party and we are to be his guests for the remainder of our time in this town. He looks at me suspiciously. We take our boots off and sit down and have coffee. Our host reminds me of Cliff's roommate (Cliff is an old friend of mine whom I worked for and his roommate was an asshole. He only ate redmeat, nothing else, and he claimed he was a master healer, but his place was filthy and smelled horrible and had flies all over it eating all the leftover steak grease).
I don't get a good vibe from our host. He gets it into his head that I am having an affair with his wife.

Spoiler for The cabin and the jealous guy:

I tell him "No way, man. Relax! I wouldn't fool around with a married woman, and I wouldn't betray your hospitality that way, and besides, I just met both of you two minutes ago."

He grumbles something and we all start making music. There are other guests there who are musicians as well. I pick up a guitar that is laying there. I am looking at my hands and seeing which frets I am playing. One song has these chords: C/E7/A minor/C7/F9/E7/A minor/D9/D9, F9/G+,G/C/G7. Just a blues song. Now I notice that I have chocolate syrup on my hands and I stop playing. I am confused, how did I get chocolate syrup on my hands?

The guy got up and grabbed the guitar and yelled at me. He yelled "THAT is my WIFE'S guitar and I don't appreciate YOU playing it without asking me." I look over at his wife and she obviously was enjoying the music I was playing. He shoves this homemade instrument into my hands to play instead. It looks like a broken piece of plywood with metal springs and things attached. He thinks that I won't be able to play it because it is a piece of crap, but if you know me you know I can make music out of anything. It sounds beautiful.

I am beginning to get angry with this alpha dude because I have no interest in his Eskimo wife. So I look down at my hands playing this fucked up kalimba when I suddenly realize that my hands, this instrument, this whole scenario is just a dream! I look over at this angry guy glaring at me and I felt such love for him and compassion because he is so threatened by me and insecure because he thinks that he actually exists separately from me; he doesn't realize that his nature is emptiness and he is just a part of a dream.

I knew he wouldn't understand it if I tried explaining it so I turn to CNDR and say: "Let's get out of here." I take her hand and we teleport to a tropical beach and there are the humpback whales in the water. Then I wake up

Spoiler for Farewell Whale:

It all started last night as I lay in bed with my mind wandering like a tumbleweed through an old ghost town. After a while I start focusing my mind into a point while relaxing my face, my jaw and the rest of my body.
I start sinking into deeper levels of relaxation. I become aware that I am in a hypnogogic state when I notice I am watching a pickup truck driving down a driveway, kicking up dust. So I focus on my dream task, which is to dreamshare with CNDR.

I am on the verge of WILDing and I sense many possible dreams to step into all swirling around me. I am invoking CNDR's energy and feeling for it. Then I see glimpses of her: her arm, her hair, her silhouette against the moonlight coming through the window. I smell her and her hair. I hear her saying "Is it working?" or "It is working!" Or something very similar. Keep in mind I am not in the dream, but trying to completely fall asleep and enter the dream. But my monkey-mind starts getting excited and I try to calm it but the swirling wheel of dreams recedes a little. I can no longer see or hear or smell my dreams but I can still feel CNDR with my feeling sense. But eventually my mind comes back and starts wandering as the dreamtime slips away.

Organic Mechanic
I go hang out with a musician friend of mine (Greg) and a friend of his at a hotel lobby. Greg's friend wants us to stay and watch Emerson, Lake, and Palmer play a show. I don't think that I will stay, it costs to much and I am not a fan. But Palmer is a good drummer.
I notice that Greg's friend is vacuuming my car. He is vacuuming pieces of broken glass and I notice my windshield has a hole in it. Damn! He tells me he saw some shady guy break into it. I take the car to an auto body shop and ask them how much it will cost to fix it.
Mechanic: "What happened here?"
ME: "Some asshole broke my windshield"
Mechanic: "Don't worry about it. We'll take care of it. There's no charge"
They started working on my car. Hey that is very nice of them to fix my windshield for free! I am going to recommend this place to my friends. But how can they afford to fix it for free. Surely they will have to charge me for at least the cost of the new windshield. I get the bill back and it is $500! I start talking to the guy and he says:
Mechanic: "This is how much it would have cost if I had charged you. This is for my hourly rate, as well as the hourly rate of the guy who made the windshield and the guy who delivered the windshield and the guy who made the glass for the windshield. You see, when you pay for something you pay for everybody who had anything to do with it, and they are all taking advantage of you because they are motivated by profit. But if they all realized like me that there is no such thing as money, the world would be a great place."
Me: "Hey, thank you! I will definitely recommend you to my friends"
Mechanic: "I am the Organic Mechanic

KAUA'I DREAMING

I am in Kaua'i swimming in the ocean! The beautiful tropical sun is tanning my body and the sea breeze is filling my lungs. I hear the sounds of surf and the smell of coconut and guava. The white sand beaches are brightly reflecting the sun. I am kayaking around the island with Kayak Kaua'i (In Waking Life I used to Work for Kayak Kauai). We are out on the part of the ocean that goes around the corner of the Kalalau valley into the Polihale.

Kalalau:


Polihale:


The current is strong here and the fish are gathering. I become lucid. The owner's son, who is one of the guys with us, is a real asshole, and has always been an asshole to me just because he thinks he is the shit because his Dad owns Kayak Kauai. So I summon a shark to get him. A shark comes and heads for his kayak. He starts screaming and I am laughing. But then I remember to love my DCs so I decide to turn the shark into a dolphin. Now we have dolphins all around our kayaks out there in the ocean. But I am feeling a little mischevious so I turn the dolphin back into a shark and the guy freaks out agian. Then I cahnge it back into a dolphin and the guy relaxes. But he had lost his oar! He couldn't paddle his kayak and he starts drifting out on the riptide. I throw him my oar and I use mind power to power my kayak. It is like a motorboat or a jet ski, but all mind power! I get very involved with flying through the ocean on my kayak with the dolphins all jumping and spinning and racing me! I love dreaming!

Pickle Frog Song

A little while later, I am back on land in some Hawaiian town hanging out on the lawn in front of some grocery store. This is not lucid. There is a little boy singing a song and picking his nose. The song goes:
"Pickle Packle Peek-a-boo, Pickle Packle Peek-a-boo"
but maybe it sounds more like "Picko Packo Pee-a-Boo"
I really like the song. CNDR comes up and I say "He is singing about his pet frog!" And CNDR starts laughing and we are both laughing joyously. The kid is very cute, picking his nose while he sings. His sister comes up and they both are chanting "Pickle Packle Peek-a-boo"
CNDR and I go into the store to buy some pickles but the owner tells us that they are all sold out since those kids started singing that song.

Finally, a lucid dream!

Started off with what seemed to be a nightmare, and was a tad shorter than I would have liked, but it ended quite interestingly enough .

Warning: dream ended up being pretty graphic, so be warned.

Started out with a few of my buddies sitting around talking about stuff that did not make any sense what-so-ever. We were all sitting in what looked like a run down hotel, door was wide open, as well as the windows. The windows reveals what looked like stairs going from the bottom of the hotel to the top, resembling metal stairs seen in NYC apartment buildings as a fire-escape. All of a sudden people break into the hotel, drawing automatic pistols, killing two of my friends. First thought was to run, and run as fast as I could. The remaining friend followed me out the door and we parted ways in separate directions.

I first ran through the open door, and jumped off the balcony onto a close rooftop of another building nearby. The killers kept close tail of me, following my lead off the balcony onto the roof. I continued off the edge of the roof, and hopped down on to the ground. Killers, still following my lead, closing in on me. When I hit the ground, I feel as though I am paralyzed, unable to move. I was laying next to a small children's pool it looked like. Several of the killers go to raise their automatic weapons to my face and are about to pull the trigger. The friend I parted ways earlier at the beginning of the chase all of a sudden grabbed one of the killers behind the neck in a choke-hold and looked at me and said "intense dream so far eh?"

I looked at a nearby sign by the pool I was laying next to and it proceeded to change every time I looked at it. I was dreaming! Now that I was awake I took a hold of the other killer's hand and ripped off his arm that had the gun in it. I then proceeded to transform painfully into a large timber wolf, as I do with nearly every LD. For some reason when I transformed in this dream, it hurt really bad. Usually the transformation in my dreams go by quite smoothly with little pain, however this was a different story. I felt my face painfully cracking and contorting outwards until it finally resembled a snout. Fur spread all over my body, and a feeling of intense goose-bumps covered my skin. My tail bone cracked and contorted as well. Sharp teeth sliced their way through my gums, at first with pain that mimicked shattering my teeth. Paws formed as each foot elongated, and my hands elongated and turned into paws as well.

After I was done changing, I looked at the man who stood under the control of my friend in form of a head lock. I sprinted and tackled the man by pouncing on to his chest. My friend, still holding the man down looked to me as though he knew what was about to happen. I decided to go ahead and finish off this nightmare with a bit of gore of my own, haha. Anyways, so I open my jaws up, and clench the killer's head in between my jaws. I proceeded to clench down as hard as I could onto the man's skull. After a few seconds, the man's skull gave in to the pressure, and I felt the cracking and breaking of it in between my jaws. That was then followed by warm blood filling up my mouth, and dripping down my throat. In a weird way, it actually sorta tasted good.

My friend then decided to follow my lead, and he ended up changing into a wolf after letting go of the killer's head who was now unrecognizable as a human being. Regarding the other killer with one arm, I don't know where he went. After that my lucidity sort of drifted off, and I was being controlled by my dreams once again. The rest of the dream involved me and my friend running off into the woods as wolves, then I suddenly woke up!

Rat's Nest (WBTB)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I managed a small, semi-stable WILD this morning. It was punctuated by several false awakenings. Recall is terrible. I should have written down some dreams from before the WILD. Now it's waay later on, and I can barely even remember the WILD, never mind the non-lucids before...

The first thing I remember is a false awakening in my own bed. I felt what I assumed was the cat walking up the bed from the bottom. Except there were two of them. And the one on the right felt much more like a snake. A massive, heavy snake. Part of me nearly shat itself, but then I remembered that my door wasn't even open, so the cat couldn't have got in. Then I remembered I was trying to LD, making the "door closed" theory irrelevant anyway.

The next FA occurred in a four-poster bed on top of a platform, in the Halo 3 multiplayer level, Rat's Nest. The difference was that the indoor sections were much tighter than in the game. I got up and walked downhill to the open-air part, where a girl appeared out of nowhere and took me by the hand. She led me back up the hill and through a door I hadn't noticed before.

We were now in a strange house. It was decorated like an old couple lived there. I tried to speak, but I had the same problem as before. My mouth didn't work. I think this might have been because I was asleep on my back with my mouth wide open, unlike normal- so this must have carried through. I tried to say,
"What are we doing here?" She answered anyway, telling me that somebody upstairs wanted to talk to me. I ran up the pine wood staircase, to the third floor, and went into a bedroom. There was a naked girl lying on her front reading on the bed.
"Shit! Sorry!" I said, as I turned and exited. (Prob. semi-lucid here)

Another FA in my bed again. The cat was back, and it crawled up to my face. Then it turned into the girl from before.
"Sweet!" I said retardedly, with my mouth hanging open. Right then my asshole brother came into my room, turned on the light and started talking crap in my ear.

Giant Tent...? (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This is the end of the last dream (I can't remember more than the end). I had just got out of my final class of the day in school. There was music playing as I headed for the exit. To my surprise, when I got to the front foor, I saw that it opened up into an enormous tent. The interior of the tent was Native American Indian in style, and the roof was about 30m high. It was pretty dark inside, and there were big, uneven steps down to the inside. I danced and jumped my way down these steps in time to the music. Part of me wondered how I was getting so lucky at landing all my jumps and landing so softly, but I didn't become lucid. When I got to the bottom, I started running for the exit at the front, but I was stopped by my headmistress. She said something angrily and pointed up at the clock. All I got from her was that it was too early to leave just yet.



I looked around the tent. There were lots of what looked like pool tables scattered around, with seats right beside them. Me and a few friends went over and sat down at one of them. Instead of balls on the table, there were tiny black, white and red stones. There were a lot less black stones than white and red. I assumed they had been lost, or I just couldn't see them in the dark. I put my head down on the table to wait to be let out, but I woke up.

I was still very deeply relaxed, and hadn't moved, so I went for a DEILD. I imagined the feeling of my head on the table, with tiny pieces of stone poking me from under my forehead. I also "felt" my feet (wearing flip-flops) beside the legs of the chair. It became really realistic very quickly, and I found I was able to lean back on the chair and put the front two legs down on my feet- not too hard, just enough to anchor myself. I moved my head around on the table, feeling the scrapes of the stones. Suddenly I felt like I was falling off the chair to my left.

I sat up and looked around. There were people lying sleeping at tables all around me, hundreds of them. It was even darker than it was before.
"What the fuck, where am I?" I asked the room. It was so realistic and I was so surprised it worked, that I had a hard time believing it was a dream. Should have done a reality check... Everybody around me woke up and laughed. I thought it was weird that they weren't annoyed for being woken up. I woke up for real a few seconds later.

Nigel Powers (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Semi-decent WILD this morning. I've no idea how long it took to get into the dream, as I lost all sense of time.

It began with a false awakening, where I was almost completely paralysed. There was a fat dude sitting on my legs. I was surprised to see him there, and after thinking about it for a minute, I concluded that this had to be a dream. He started trying to tell me a story, but I interrupted him, and said,
"God dammit mate, let me sleep." With that I drifted off to sleep (in the FA) to a dream-within-a-dream. This seems to be a good way of getting rid of situations where you can't move or if you ever get trapped in bed in a LD. Just WILD then and there and find yourself somewhere else! Good times.

Suddenly I was being taken through the streets of Belfast, leaning on somebody's shoulder. My neck didn't seem to have any power, and my mouth was hanging open. It was like I had no muscles in my face. It was night time, and we headed down an alley beside a shop I sometimes go to. I managed to ask the person carrying me,
"Where are we going?" in a mumbled voice. He explained that we were going to a nightclub run by Nigel Powers. Normally I would have been pleased about this, but I thought I was in no fit state to party! The guy supporting me seemed to be friendly with the female japanese bouncers, and went straight to the front of the line. My head rolled around on my neck a bit, and for a second I was back in bed with the fat guy sitting on me. I put it out of my head and tried to concentrate on where I wanted to be, in the club.



There was a little bit of missing time here. After which I was semi-lucid. I had just got on a bus, heading for a night out. There were about 10 double-decker buses picking people up. A girl I know started giving me seductive looks from another bus, so I ran down to the front of mine, and jumped from bus to the other. I went upstairs to her and kissed her. Then I woke up!

Lightning Show (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Lately I've been too lazy to throw myself into a proper WILD, so I've just been waking up then goin back to sleep a few minutes later, hoping to DILD. Works occasionally!



I was driving round Florida with two of my friends. I kept seeing things completely out of the ordinary, like a giant arch of light in the evening sky, over the ocean- and buildings which sprung out of nowhere. I kept trying to tell my friends about the stuff I was seeing, but they wouldn't believe me. I eventually convinced them to go to a restaurant beside the sea for dinner the next evening to see if the arch appeared in the sky again. We had our meal, then lay down on the beach as night approached. Sure enough, the arch appeared. Soon after, the sky went completely black and a thunderstorm began. It was a bit scary, and I became lucid. Looking up at the sky was incredible. It was like a light show. The lightning would make the gaps in the clouds stand out white. There were several of these gaps shaped like pterodactyls and monsters. It started to rain lightly, and I could really feel the coldness of the droplets on my chest (I was just wearing swimming shorts). I reached up at the sky and tried to create my own lightning, but it didn't work. As I reached up, I started to feel my own body lying in bed. I thought,
"Crap, crap, don't wake up now, I've only had two minutes of fun!" I tried running my hands through the sand and grabbing people lying beside me, but nothing worked and I was dragged back to consciousness.

12.12.2009

Music Festival (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was having a pretty uneventful dream about hitching a ride on a coach, and it was easiest to go back in again when I woke up.

The coach driver (who was a lot like Chris Rock) had agreed to drop me off right outside my house, but instead he took a wrong turn and started heading into town. We drove through streets I didn't recognise, where the buildings were very ornate, but made of black and white stone. It looked weird as hell. I wondered to myself why my mind couldn't just give me my own town centre, that would have been fun to muck around in. I got off the bus in the middle of a very wide pedestrianized street. There was some kind of music festival going on down at the other end, and I could see a couple of my friends on the outskirts of the crowd. I levitated to knee height and zoomed over. As I got closer, I saw that they were caring for a girl lying on a bench covered in blood. Unfortunately I couldn't slow down in time to stop beside them, so I whooshed past and had to say very quickly,
"Shitwhathappenedtoher?" I landed further into the crowd and ran back out to see what happened. My friend Lucy told me that she had been up at the front for the performance by Mika, but when he had swung his microphone, it had smacked her in the head. I wondered how the hell it could have caused so much bleeding; she was covered in blood. I gradually lost lucidity and we had to all carry the girl to a hospital.
