lucid

Because my brother decided to leave his radio on super-loud before leaving, my dream was influenced by this christian talk-show. I dreamed I saw a city in the sky which I thought was 'The Kingdom of God.' I also saw these sheep being slaughtered by these large, black monster looking things.

I stood under the monster and it dropped and large axe on my left shoulder and through me to the side. I met this man who was babbling to me about consulting the FBI for direction on finding the place where Jesus died because it is a government cover-up or something bullshit like that. I saw blood trails.

I also dreamed that I had my laptop in my bed I was trying to check Reddit for something important happening to day. I had trouble getting to the website and it is my own fault I was not skeptical enough of my reality. False awakening then?

No lucidity.

The bright side is that mindfulness meditation helps me fall asleep faster than normal and get these easy-to-remember dreams. Either way, I feel like I am on the right path to master lucid dreaming. The trade-off is that my non-lucid dreams are more 'adventurous' than my lucid-dreams which have mostly been featured in my own house.

So I believe this dream was mostly based on the video game called Heavy Rain, for those who have no knowledge of the game, this is the summary : As a child goes missing, his father tirelessly works to rescue him, while a journalist, an FBI agent, and a private detective try to identify his kidnapper known only as the "Origami Killer". So this is my dream... First person point of veiw : The first thing I remember was opening my eyes to rain. I looked around my surroundings and I was in some sort of park, I think it was the evening or early morning because it was raining super hard and it was cloudly but yet it was bright? But anyway I walked around the area to find something to make this dream forward, that's when I heard yelling. I couldn't hear exactly what the yelling was saying but I followed the sound. I came to a deserted road where a guy was wandering around yelling the name, "Shaun." I stood there for a bit wondering why this guy's voice and that name seem so familiar. Then I realized that it was from the video game I had recently played 'Heavy Rain' I remembered now that this guy was named Ethan, and he was looking for his son Shaun who had gone missing and was probably taken by the Origami killer. After realizing this, I ran after Ethan. "Ethan! Ethan! Wait up, I know about your son!" After saying that. he stopped and turned to me. He looked at me frantically. "Who are you?! And what do you know about my son?!" He yelled as he grabbed my shoulders. "Calm down, I know you don't know me but I do know you and I know who the origami killer is." I said. Ethan started to say something until we heard sirens and a motorcycle. That's when a motorcycle stopped beside us and Madison(another game character/Ethan's friend) started to yell at Ethan. "Ethan get on! The cops think your the origami killer and they're after you!" Ethan looked at me and start to get on the motorcycle. "Wait! Ethan I know everything! You need to listen to me!" But they both ignored me and drove away, I tried to chase after them but it was no use, I stopped to think, I knee that Ethan wasn't going to listen to me so I had to find someone that will. then I remembered about the FBI Agent(didn't remember his name in the dream) who believe Ethan wasnt the killer. I waled around in hope of him popping up somewhere but I couldn't find him. I ended up at some sort of casual resturant and when I went inside I saw two people I was hoping to avoid, Scott Shelby(Another Game character/Private Dectective/Origami killer) and Lauren(Another Game Character/Scott Shelby's Friend) I knew I had to keep it a secret that i knew who the killer was from Scott, so I tried to play it cool. I walked up to them and made it seem like I knew Lauren. I told her if we could talk privately in the restroom and she didn't disagree ( surprisingly) I told her to get away from Scott because he was the killer and I explained all the details and stuff and she believed me. We made a plan to say were are leaving to 'catch up' and leave, then go find the FBI guy. When we walked out the of girl's bathroom, Scott was waiting for us right outside the door. 'I wonder if he heard us.' I thought. "Scott, Alma and I are going to leave, we need to catch up on some old times and stuff, you understand right?" Lauren said to Scott. Scott gave us a bug smile and said, "That's fine, I can give y'all a ride, it'd be rude to leave girls to walk in this weather." "No, That's okay, my apartment isn't that far." I Lied. "It's no trouble, come on." Scott said while walking to his car. We got in the back seats, something felt really weird. "So Scott, what do you do?" I asked. "I'm a private detective, but I guess you already knew that." He said in a cold tone. "huh?" I said. "You know, I wonder how a kid like you, figured it out so quickly." He said. That's when I though, 'Shit. He knows that I know.' that's when I tried to frantically open the doors. The next think I know we come to a stop at some deserted place I didn't recognize, Scott gets off the car and I turn to Lauren. "Okay Lauren, this is what's going to happen, your going to run while I district Scott." I said. she looked at me with tests in her eyes, "Where do I go?" she asked. I looked around and studied my surroundings, there were 5 abandoned warehouses, I knew one of them, Shuan was in there trying to survive from drowning and I had to figure out which one, by just looking at them. so I remembered how the warehouse looked like, it was white rusted with broken glass skylights on top, and there was a catwalk type machine above the warehouse that crushed garbage. After I saw that one warehouse I told her to run to that one and to call 911. She asked, "With what phone?! I don't have one!" I patted my pants in hope to find one and thankfully I did. 'Really?! I had a phone this whole time?' I thought. I gave the cell phone to lauren and told her to hide it. Scott came back to the car and he was fiddling with something, I decided to taunt him, in hope of making this dream move forward. "So 'Scotty'..." He flitched at this name, "...are you going to kill us?" He said nothing. "I get why your doing all of this but its just sad.. how your poor bother told you to live on and your just stuck in the past. You should just move on." He took out his gun and aimed it between my eyes. "How do you know what my brother said?! who are you?!" He said in a stern voice. I Smiled. "Like you said just a kid who figured it out, and who knows more about you then even you do." His hands shook with anger. While he was distracted with me, this gave Lauren the chance to run out of the car. Scott tried to go after her but I quickly tackled him to the ground. He threw me off and took out his gun , I thought he was going to shoot me but he shot Lauren in the head, he fell to the ground and he laughed. "LAUREN!!!" I yelled. My eyes teared up, but mostly I was feeling angry. Scott turned to me and started to point the gun at me. "Sorry it has to end this way, but you shouldn't have stocked your nose where it doesn't belong." I grabbed a rock and threw it at Scott's face, it hit him in the eye and I ran for it. For some reason there was a huge playground so I ran to the top of it. (knowing that Scott was on the heavy side, he would have trouble fitting through the nooks and cranies of the playground) I tried to test my water bending in the rain, but it didn't work. 'Great. One of those dreams' I thought. "Come down here, and I'll make your death fast and painless!" Scott yelled. "In your dreams!" I yelled back. I remembered the phone, and looked to where Lauren's lifeless body was laying and saw the phone lying next to her, I had to find a way for Scott to get on the playground so I can have time to run and get the phone to call for help. "Hey Scotty, did you feel helpless watching your brother drown? You should have tried harder to get your dad to help." I teased. "Shut up!" he yelled. "Maybe you should have tooken your dads beer so he would have chased after you, no?" I continued. He growled and started to make his way up the play ground. "Awh, is someone mad? You know who should be mad? your brother, because you couldn't save him. you failed him. your dad wasn't the one who failed, you were" Scott started to yell and ran towards me, I dodged his attack and made him hit the pole behind me. I Jumped off the playground and headed towards the cell phone, I got to the cell phone and for surprisingly, the FBI guy's number was on the phone, I called it and he picked up. "Hello?" he said. "FBI guy! okay listen carefully, my name is Alma Cross and Scott Shelby is the origami killer, I need help so find this location now and hur-" *Bang* I was shot in the arm. "f*ck!" I yelled. I dropped the phone and started to run, I didn't need to look to know who shot me. I was scared and I need to find a place to hide until the police get here. The only place I could think of was the playground, it was super huge and I knew there had to be someplace in there to hide. I found a little place between some huge poles under the stairs. I didn't hear any foot steps anywhere. I looked at my arm and saw that I was bleeding through my long sleeve. It was so quiet I thought I was safe, but then a hand grabbed me, it was Scott. "Really? you thought you could hide?" he said. "No, I just needed to catch my breath." I said back. With that I hit him in the face and while he was stunned I kicked the gun out if his hand, the gun flew and fell into the holes of the playground. We fount for a bit, both if us throwing punches, and kicks, but knowing him from the game I knew his strengths and skills were far more advance then mine. I was losing painfully, the beatings kept coming and when it finally stopped I could not move. Scott got up and walked away for a second, I tried to use my strength to crawl away or something but I was to weak. I only got a few inches away until a foot stepped on my head. I struggled for a bit until I heard a *click* of a gun. "D-do you really think your going.. to get away with this?" I struggled. I heard him laugh. "I Already Have." *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* I heard. I opened my eyes expecting blood surrounding my body, but no. I looked up to see 3 bullet holes in Scott Shelby. He looked shocked but yet tears weld up in his eyes. His body fell next to me and I tried to get up quickly. I Sat up slowly and looked to see the FBI guy come towards me. He kicked the gun away from Scott's hand and checked his pulse, then he turned to me, "Are you okay?" he asked. I Nodded. (I couldn't say words, I was starstrucked, he was my favorite character in the game) "The rest if the force and paramedics are in there way, your going to be okay" he said with a smile. I shook my head, and stood up. "No, we need to go save Shaun, I know his location, he doesn't have much time left!" I yelled. "Okay, you are injured, we'll handle this." he said trying to sit me down. "No, you don't get it, shuan only has 10 minuets left!"(where that number came from? I don't know I just said that in my dream) "we need to go now!" I yelled. He gave me that, 'shit let's go' face. The next think I know we are in that one warehouse, and I guess we saved Shaun because Ethan was hugging him and the cops were all there and I was sitting next to Ethan and shuan. "Thank you, thank you so much" Ethan told me. I Smiled at him and got up, FBI guy cane up to me and said, "Hey, you did good work, you were really brave, you saved Shaun's life." I smiled sadly, "But not Lauren's... she didn't deserve this." He just sighed, "You did what you could, that's more then doing nothing." he reassured me. Then he saw my shot wound that I sloppily wrapped with a piece of my shirt, and my other injuries. "You need to go to the hospital!" he panicked. I looked at my arm. "Nah, I'm fine really, I can't even feel it." I sai, but that's when my body started to stagger, I fell forward but thankfully FBI guy caught me. "We need a medic!" he yelled. (I felt my self slowly waking up) "It's okay, I'm going to leave, but I'm glad that I helped." I said. I remember hearing the FBI guy yelling, "Alma! Stay with me. Medic hurry up! Alma, Stay awake, stay with me" and the last thing I said before waking up from this dream was, "Bye bye, FBI guy." This was one of my intenst dreams, it actually scared me a bit, but it was fun to go along with it, and I even met my FBI guy (*_*) He's so badass!
If you need more background information about heavy Rain the game, then look it up, if you got question please ask me. well until next time! Bye~

I was in the middle of a city, still daylight but turning dark. I was being chased by a angry mob of people. They wanted to lynch me for some reason, no idea why just kind of got dropped into the shitty situation..

While running from the mob I became lucid. They were closing in on me and I wanted to test some lucid powers out. I was standing in the middle of a street and decided to merge with the road and become part of it using it as a disguise. I didn't know if I could turn myself into the road but I tried. I melted into the road and became part of it. The mob ran right past me, it worked perfect.

I emerged from the road into my normal form. A new crowd of people came up to me impressed with my powers but they seemed to know all about it. I asked them if I could use this ability anytime...they said yes but it would only work when I wasn't dreaming from now on. I asked if I were to be hiding as the road and a car drove over me would I be harmed...they said yes but it would be worth the risk. I agreed and somehow convinced myself this really would carry over to real life and would be a useful power.

A woman then started emerging from the street like I did but she was naked and had pieces of the road stuck to her skin. She got stuck in the concrete, bent over in a compromising position. The new crowd told me she was a evil person who was a threat to my powers and everyone else. This is dark but they said in order to keep my power and stop her for good I had to force myself on her sexually. I said no I'm not doing that. They said I had to and besides it was just a dream no one was really going to be hurt. This made sense to me in the dream so I did it while the crowd cheered me on until I woke up...shaking my head thinking how messed up that was.

I find myself upstairs in a hallway, and I recognize M Street. I do a quick noseplug, breathe twice and I'm good to go. I walk down upstairs hallway and there's a faint yellow hue hanging over the dream scene. I begin clapping to engage senses and increase vividness. Noise doesn't come on the first, but sensations and noise come on successive claps. I continue a few more steps as I rub hands and clarity picks up. I finally reach the rail and get ready for some flight up and over into the first floor entryway. There are glass double doors with glass windows to the right. I notice a resort looking area in the front which seems to be a blend blend of grass, some parked black SUVs in a cresent driveway, and a pool laying beyond. I decide to make it interesting iand go to phase through the light tan wall to the right and remember my dream goal of the reishi forest. I figure I could try taking this route to get there. As I go to phase through the wall, I notice that I'm transitioning into a very thick, high viscosity material and decide to pull my dream body out as I don't want to risk losing stability; I decide to take a simpler route for the moment. I approach back to the glass windows, and simply jump right through to the next area. Instead of transitioning directly to the outdoor resort setting, I enter to another room with a glass wall that leads to the back of a resort area - now containing a large pool in the center with a lounge area surrounding it. I fly over the single dropped step in the middle of the room and through the glass. It's a bright sunny day out in the resort area, and the water of the pool is crystal clear with a hint of blue. I remember the dream goal idea in I had thought about: going into water/underwater. I've never gone in water in an LD, so I use the opportunity. I fly swoop down and glide across the surface of the water, sticking my right hand out and trailing it through. I feel a bit of the resistance and texture of the surface. I then remember hearing some LDers talk about going underwater. I want to experience it, so swoop up, then plunge down into the water, and submerge quite a few feet. I then want to see if I can see as I notice my dream eyes are closed from habit. I open them, but everything is a dark gray murky color with a slight hind of green. I begin to feel myself waking to my physical bodyand get up for the day.

I was at my childhood home there were a group of people there not sure who, we were watching some sport on the TV and after it was done we went to the kitchen (at this point I became lucid) I went along with the dream and started talking to my dream characters saying how this house looks exactly like the one I grew up with, we started talking and telling jokes and laughing later. woke up

Had a short lucid dream I was in the hallway of my old high school, I was walking around just looking. I started rubbing my hands so I can prolong the dream cause usually I wake up quickly when I get lucid. so as I rub my hands while walking I looked next to me and behind me other people were doing the something as me and I woke up

I am trying out the WILD method I am confident that my WBTB skills are on point.I relax, I get all the way up to Hypnagogic Imagery but then lose consciousness. However, the dreams are really vivid.

Long story short, I dreamed I was in my bedroom with a flamethrower. I was expecting that a monster was supposed to come after me and I was supposed to kill it. A fun note about the flame thrower though is that it was a can of his athlete's foot spray that I have in my closet; it just shot out flames though. I felt confident in that moment.

But something was wrong; I heard a struggle in the hallway outside my bedroom door. I turned around and saw a large, dark man in a suit which I immediately knew this was the guy. I felt like a nightmare was imminent because something was off about this guy.

He comes into my bedroom and flame him until his clothes burn off and his skin is midnight pitch-black.

But it doesn't work.

The flames stop.

He tackles me and to be brief, he sexually assaults me. It wasn't some comical event like a lot of men like to joke about. It was slow and disgusting; it felt real, and I was powerless. At this point, the dream was lucid because as the man was pinning me down to the ground on my stomach, I kept trying to control dream to kill him in some form or fashion - to summon monsters on my side or whatever. But it would not happen. He just kept licking and biting my bare left shoulder as I was struggling as hard as I could to prevent him from penetrating me.

Eventually, he got off me and began to walk out the room. He was lighter-skinned and dressed in a tuxedo. I chased after him, punched him in the face and backed off. The dream began to collapse and the man smiled in my direction.

End.

I'm swiping through all the photos on my phone, and am a bit confused as to why there are so many stored on it now. I reason that s took a lot of them without letting me know. I transition to a set of photos of me playing with my dog. I see one where my dog is on her bag kicking me up into the air with her hind legs with a big smile on her face. I see my body suspended in the air above her and start laughing. I want to show it to people at a nearby table. I begin showing it to a DC, and the strangeness of the situation hits me. I become aware I'm in a dream, and ask the DC his name. He responds that his name is Viktor. I then tell Viktor "I'm lucid right now". The man is a very short old black male with a tan top hat and an innocent face. He's sitting at the head of a small rectangular table, and I'm sitting on the side to his left. He looks at me and asks, "Lucid? What does that even mean?". I tell him "Well, this is a dreamworld... as far as humans are concerned" as I start laughing a bit, feeling that it's ridiculous trying to explain my state of consciousness to a man who seems so unaccepting of the fact that that I'm viewing this reality differently than him. He expresses that he's here all the time. I progress to asking him how to make the lucid more stable, seeing this as a good opportunity to learn. He responds that his favorite way to stabilize is to rub his hands. Curious, I ask him what happens if he doesn't continue doing this every so often. He responds that things can get a bit blurry every once in a while being here. He then tells me he likes to apply pressure with two fingers to the base of his skull. I ask him what this does, and he says it will help sharpen vision. I stay at the table for a bit longer and it helps anchor me for a short time. I then feel that i'm waking up.

I descend a couple stairs in front of the house on M Street. I need to make a phone call. I turn and face the group of teenagers that are congregated on the front steps. I begin to engage some control within the dream, and decide to focus on levitating as much as possible. I begin ascending, and it catches attention of a few. My awareness raises more as the levitation stirs associations with becoming lucid. I stick my right hand out and say "I'm lucid". I continue to stare at the detail of my right hand and notice int's very vivid, yet with some small nicks/cuts. I want to test the noseplug right after and see how the RC responds. Perfect breathing, and I realize this is probably my best RC at the moment. I take in the surroundings and the colors are vivid with a slight glow. I peaceful nighttime blue hangs over the scene. I fly away from the group for a bit, and explore the yard area, and take in the vividness of the tall trees. I return to the group after a short time to ask a few questions about dreams. I say they were the ones in the previous dream with the brothers who weren't getting along. They say "yeah, yeah, yeah" affirmatively as they nod. I then ask what they represent. That give a silly/nonsensical response and I respond ..."That's stupid...". The couple in the front look at me and one responds, "Yeah, you're right; it is stupid" as he hangs his head with a slight smirk. I levitate upward, then fly from the patio area out into the center of the front yard, then to the side and take in the view of foliage. I'm taking in the amazing colors and vividness once more and simply appreciating as I levitate. I decide to rub hands to stabilize, then to clap hands afterward. I clap twice, and loud sounds and reverberations permeate the scene. The feeling of levitating is awesome. I don't want to risk losing stability so I go right to dream goals. I remember wanting to go to the Mystic Reishi Forest. I continue to back right of the house of M Street - the first time I've traveled to this area. I notice an incredibly large tree with a massive canopy, glowing and luminescent in a rich red color. I reason this has to be connected/ guiding me to the forest I'm looking for, and decide to let the dream lead me rather than create a portal and try teleporting. I head toward the tree and admire the amazing glow. I lower a bit then turn to my left to see a massive constellation of brilliantly bright white stars in a massive band across the sky. The constellation stretches from the horizon all the way to the apex of the sky and makes the whole area glow in the middle of the night. The view is completely unreal. I soon begin to feel that I am waking. I'm thinking 'I really need to hold through this!' as I go into a white void; I really want to explore to the reishi forest. I wake back to my body right after the white comes on.

Another dream at Six Flags, at least, I assume it was Six Flags, as that's what it looked like: in fact I've been at this exact location in my dreams before. I become lucid and wander around, trying to find some stuff. There's a Christmas themed area. But that quickly bores me.

I find my father (for some reason) and we walk in the park, then we appear at a place that looks suspiciously like a plaza we live by. Eventually it turns into the plaza.

Here are some fragments I remember (all lucid):

I was trying to turn a glass of water upside-down and see if it would remain in the glass just for fun. It didn't. I think my mom complained.

Biting my brother's finger off (????).

I lost my laptop at a restaurant (not sure if it was lucid there, actually).

Trying to go through the mirrors in our living room and failing.

Conclusion: I failed at a lot of things, meaning I have a lot to learn, but hey, that's the process.

I remember I was being abducted by an alien kid but then our spaceship was attacked and we started floating in space in something that looked like a giant glove...?

Then as I slipped out the glove and started floating in space, I realisd I was dreaming, because if I were really in space I'd be dead, not breathing, so I decided to float around some more but then I woke up.....or so I thought.

I was back at my home which I 'woke up' in, but the scenary outside my window looked completely different, making me realise I was dreaming again. I decided to change my dream scape to Undertale and then everything became 2D. (It was very weird. that's all I can say, I really can't put it into words.) There, I saw Sans who was about to get killed by Chara, but then I stepped in and took the blow for him and I woke up.....but I didn't.

I was once again back at my home, this time when I 'woke up' I instantly knew I was dreaming again, I don't know why. Then I started messing around with the dreamscape and tried to make Sans appear infront of me, I tried expecting him in the next room, and it worked except he didn't look accurate. So, I recalled one of the tutoriels on DV about summoning dream characters, so I told the dream character, "Ok, I'm gonna turn around and when I turn again, I want you to look exactly like Sans."

So, I turned around and when I turned back, the dream character looked a bit better, but I wasn't satisfied yet. so I did the same process again, but when I turned and faced him again, he looked completely different and demonic.

The dream character was angry, "You think I'm some toy for you to play with?!" At first I was intimidated by the creature but since I knew it was all a dream, I just smirked, "This is my dream. It doesn't matter whether you abide by my wishes or not. You will fade away at the end of them all."

Then, I recieved an interesting answer, "That's what you think." Then the dream ended...

+ kitchen, steak (skirt [round], filet, third type on circular spit), ovens, cut-off switch, water on floor [DS] (sand, sponge), outside/glide inside [DS] snow on ground glide back and forth like on ice, floor is white I'm waving to wife as I glide

+ city B (food, beverage), maybe city SJ can be like B eventually

+ bus, put stick thing out back door so can throw things there and will stick, should practice, (keys), standing holding driver pauses look into neighborhood in hills see distances, only the steep plots don't have houses [DR] see steep plot construction, point out to son (LOOK AT THAT!), construction guys there see us pointing and start dancing I say "wiggle!" they're chiseling out gourmet kitchen sink from stone son S2 goes picks up stone hits it with a baseball bat over the ridge, my dad is there hope he doesn't get hit by it

WBTB, 2-ish hours

+ LD#198, I realize I'm dreaming, I'm in the dark, I do several nose pinches and can breathe, I figure that my dream eyes are closed so I plan to force them open, I wonder what I'll see, what sort of random scene, I do this and I do see something but there is a transition afterwards, wake or lose lucidity

+ in a school room with teacher, reading math problems on pieces of paper, someone criticizes the teacher and he responds.

+ riding in a car/limo with several black guys then they make room for several black girls, we're pushed closely together, we're on the way to some club.

Spoiler for sort of sexy time:

I'm trying to get my right hand under the butt of the girl on my right but we're so tightly spaced that I can't get my hand in there and I feel a bit self-conscious about trying this so I pull my hand back up and put it on the top of her leg and caress it while we're driving. I wonder if I'll have to pay her to do this, and wonder what the length of ride to the club is. If the charge is $6/minute and the ride takes 6 minutes I'll have to pay $36, which I think is fine, I'll just give her an even $40

More dreams, fairly detailed, but after about 8 hours of dreaming the recall becomes vague, also: woken by phone call

I'm in the passenger seat, driving with my brother down a road at daytime. The dream is highly vivid. I see a green pickup against the trees on the opposite side of the highway, crashed. I then see a school bus swerve, tipping into the trees and crashign. i'm alarmed at first, then feel that something about this is very strange. My brother turns to me and says loudly "Oh my god, do you see that bus?!". I reply that I saw it actually happen. I do a noseplug, breathe a few times and I'm lucid. I'm a bit surprised that I'm in a dream as it feels so real; this RC was fascinating. I feel that this lucid would have been tougher to catch without it. I show my brother the RC and tell him this helps me become lucid. I feel this is a perfect time to test out how RCs react for me in dream. I look several times at the car clock. I see 6:15 and realize this is about the exact time in waking life. I look back and it says 6 something. I look once more and the clock isn't there. I peer around a portion of the dashboard that's justting out, and the clock dispalys an interesting S/Figure 8 pattern. I then move to thumb throuh the palm, and see my thumb in high clarity. I push the thumb and nail with a strong amount of pressure, and actually feel the pressure and sharpness at very close levels to what it would feel like in waking life with the same application. I'm completely amazed that I'm actually experiencing this level of pressure and sharp pain in the dream, and repeat the pressure, several times. I note that the sensation is about 90% as strong as in waking life. I feel this RC is no good for me. I continue to staring at hands. My hands are very realistic. I notice that both scars on my left hand are present in the dream. The only difference is that my ring is not there. I look back and one finger disappears, soon to reappear. I'm tired at this point of asking DCs about how to improve LD frequency, and quickly notice an ipod and headphones. I decide to rock out to some music and just have fun exploring! I turn on the music, and Sleep Now In the Fire by Rage Against the Machine comes on very loud in the lucid. I'm suddenly overcome by a super excitied, energized and happy state of mind. I feel superchared and can't believe how awesome it feels to be flying out the window, and into the air above a several lane highway with awesome music blasting. I decide to remind myself that it's a dream as I don't want to lose stability. I descend a bit to the back of a car, and notice a co-worker. I stare at the face, interested in how realistic the detail will be, then realize how awkward this would be in waking life! I tellt the DC it doesn't matter since it's actually a part of me. I turn to my left and want to explore to the side of the highway. I see a group of DCs in the road, but ignore them.The music continues to play as I fly down the path to my left. I continue down this path and eventually run into a group of DCs inside of a structure. There are small groups of DCs throughout the area who appear to be college aged. I think about asking them lucidity questions, but still feel unintereste din the responses lately. I see an brown fan above us in the upper floor room. I get the idea that the dream would probably become highly stable if I flew my dream body into the fan blads, and let them stimulate me tactile sense rapidly. I fly up, exposing my midsection, and the fan plades are highly pliable, almost like a soft rubbery material. I lower, and the dream begins to fade shortly after I wake up for the day

I'm climbing up an ddown sets of vertical black pipes that are alligned in a row. Once climbing down the final set, my awareness raises, and I suddenly realize I'm dreaming. I fly away, and become interested in asking some DCs how to become lucid more often. One DC, a young girl, tells me that I'm not eating any dairy, and that it's beginning not to be good for me. She tells me to start having some for of dairy and putting some extra dark chocoalte in it, stating this would be good for me. I decide to move on from asking DCs about improving lucidity, and want to ask a higher dream form as I get a memory of sivason's dream journal entries in astral astral cities. I begin trying to imagine some different entities appearing, but nothing solidifies. I soon enter a void.

I'm with a co-worker in a side-room, filling up an ink cartridge. I go through the doors, and enter into the a courtyard area that extends down in great length. I begin walking through the courtyard area, and my awareness raises. I suddenly realize I'm in a dream. I look down at the ink cartridge, and realizing that this dream plot no longer even matters, I chuck it to the side. i take in my surroundings of gray stone pavement sprawled across the open area. The Walls surrounding the courtyard a made of of very light burnt red brick material. I stare toward the far end, and notice a small set of doors in the middle. I single tree stands in the middle of the courtyard. To the right, there is a large square opening in the wall - a type of underpass leading to another area. I begin grounding myself into the dream, and focus intensely. I start shouting "clarity in the dream". The dream becomes super vivid and life-like, and I'm blown away. I'm super excited at waht I'm experiencing, and just want to explore a bit at this point. The dream feels very stable, and I don't want to risk it, so I fly low to the ground toward the underpass into the next area. I enter the room, and see two levels with the upper area consisting of a winding walkway with a black rail. Behind this walkway stis another room far behind. I begin to shout to the dream "subconscious make me lucid more often" a couple times. i see a DC on the walkway. He's a bit heavyset and blonde with a male-pattern bald spot. I tell him this is the astral, and I ask him how I can go to the astral more often (implying LD). He turns to me in a 'I wish I knew type of manner' and replied "I'm learnign from you. I'm impacted by his voice intonation and it's implied meaning, and feel a sense of awe and wonder from his response. I then ask if he can give a bit more information. He says "All I know is that it takes time and dedication. I decide to continue onward, and am still impressed by the stability as well as length. I feel I'm at around 7-8 minutes. I fly through this area into the rooms beyond. The dream begins fading, but I don't want it to end just yet. I begin rubbing my dream body all over. I decide to start whistling. The song Norwegian Wood comes into my head and I'm carrying the tune through a white void. I begin jogging my memory for dream goals, and remember I wanted to go to The Reishi Forest I lose lucidity, and enter into a normal dream.
