lucid

Finally, a weekend to sleep in and just dream. I don't know what this part of my night was (not a dream) but I'll have to include it, anyway. When I became thoroughly exhausted at 4am, I happened to be in my sister's room and decided to just crash there. When I laid down, though, I felt this warm breeze on my face. The feeling was comparable to someone passing by me, which I found a bit strange. I never try any DILDs, WILDs, or other sleeping techniques, nor have I actually read through any on here, so I don't know if this relates to one of these techniques, (I kind of thought so,) but it sure was weird to me. Within two minutes of laying there, that ringing noise you hear in your ears increased significantly and then seemed to *change frequencies*, finally settling on one that was higher and very clear. As soon as it settled, my entire body shook as if an earthquake was occurring. I knew things like this happened sometimes, so I just went with it, but nothing really happened after that, other than vibrations. I didn't really know what to do, either. Since I was pretty spooked out by that warm breeze still and nothing was happening after that "incident," I just sat up and went to my room to sleep. Having a nightmare was not on my to-do list.

In my own room I had two consecutive lucids immediately, I'm guessing because I was so exhausted. In one of the dreams, I was at school. When I "woke up" I had the feeling, as usual, that it is very easy and natural to do, and that I'm always capable of doing it. I wracked my brain, thinking of things people have told me to try that I hadn't before. I wasn't very alert or concentrated at this point (had to focus every ten seconds or so to remain lucid and wasn't really feeling much energy to try) so I knew I couldn't do anything huge. I looked around and realized, "I could try reading!" Someone had told me that reading things was interesting because after you read something, if you try to read it again it changes. To my knowledge, nothing changed, though, and I did read a few things. Oh well, I thought. I really can't remember the other thing I tried. It may have been using my phone because it was technology? If I did that, I think it also worked, but I didn't put much effort into that one, either. I know I ran to another classroom later because I remembered from my pre-lucid state that some of my friends were in the, say, English room. I always run in lucid dreams because it feels funny and unnatural and why not? When I got there I scanned the room, looking at my classmates, and saw someone I've always found very attractive. I kind of grabbed at his bare arm (he was wearing a t-shirt) but his arm grew thinner and slipped away. I know I looked to see if his twin was around (I also find him attractive, haha,) but I don't think he was. Whether he was there or not, I tried again, taking one of their wrists and this time holding on successfully. It was kind of a big deal getting our fingers to intertwine and holding hands.

As soon as we did and our palms pressed against each other, I woke up. I realized I was horny!! This was/is a big deal to me because even after 17, almost 18 years of living I have never been able to say that I have "felt horny." So, finally! (Don't worry, the rest is actually SFW.) I went back to sleep, knowing that I could wake up lucid again and hoping I could maybe figure out my sexuality a little bit, now that I know I'm capable of feeling horny. (I actually really hate that word.) So I entered my next dream lucid and what do you know? A blond, taller, and more built version of Josh Hutcherson happened to emerge from a shower. (I don't know why him - I even had to look up his name to type it just now - but whatever, I'll take it!) I won't write what my thoughts were about what I wanted to do, but basically nothing really happened, although I can't remember why. It's possible that I woke up within the next few minutes and gave up, or that I was too tired in my lucid state to continue, but either way, I know at some point I said "fuck it" and just gave up my lucid state because of my lack of motivation. In my head, I thought, "I know I'm exhausted in real life but I shouldn't be in my dream, too!" I wasn't feeling it, though.

If anyone reads this and knows what I was describing in the first paragraph, please let me know!

Realizations: reading isn't always impossible, it really is easy to become lucid, last time I was lucid (about a week ago) I also woke up a few times and had gone to bed late, it's difficult for me to figure out sexual things in dreams, and I need to work on not being lazy and unmotivated.

Wake from an NLD. I lie still and wait to DEILD. Body begins to roll to the side, which signals beginning of REM sleep. I roll off of the mat and fall through space. Eyes flicker open somewhat, and I can see stars in a black sky. I accidentally open my WL eyes, though, because I can suddenly see light streaming in from beneath my sleep mask. I close them and wait for my "dream eyes" to open on their own. They do, and I see I am flying swiftly over a dark, deep purple ocean. The stars are still out. I can feel the wind on my face. Ahead of me, on the horizon, a white number one appears.

Memory is fuzzy here. Certain I did not lose consciousness, but unsure of how narrative unfolded entirely. I land down in the water, and there is some sort of game being played by a bunch of DCs. I try to persuade one of them that she is strong enough to lift me up and throw me out of the water. She says she is not. "Oh come on," I say. "Look at those triceps!" She laughs and tries to throw me. She just sort of pushed me out of the water. She says she can't. "But really," I say, "You can." I'm trying to get the dream to bend to my will a bit! She tries again (and throws me a bit higher) and reiterates that she can't do it.

I mess around for a bit more (can't remember what I was doing--interacting with DCs, asking questions and what not, and I specifically remember rubbing my hands to stabilize--and then it occurs to me to complete the tasks of the month. I think about what the tasks are, and remember the leaf task. I am in a back yard. I begin thinking I will materialize the leaves by pretending they are on the other side of a wooden fence. I say, "You're around this fence!" and run around the fence. I briefly see the outline of what looks like a pile of leaves, but then that pops out of existence. I try two more times, and nothing happens at all.

I run around for a bit, thinking I might find a pile of leaves somewhere. Nope. I then think to call for help on my phone, and pull it out of my pocket. I figure it will take too long to punch in the numbers though and toss it away. Instead, I head inside to get help from a DC.

Near me is a blond girl. She attempted to assist me earlier in the dream, but I rebuffed her because DCs are too unreliable. I now ask her if she knows where any leaves are. We go inside the house, and she nods and points to some storage boxes. One of them is black and I open it up. Inside there are only Christmas lights. "These are just Christmas lights," I say, and then get annoyed. This always happens. DCs always trick me and waste my time. I run out of the house. The DC runs after me, trying to get me to come back. I ignore her. Looking around, I see a bunch of leaves lying around on the grass. I think I might be able to rake them up, but then pull an Ophelia and scoop some up in my arms. Some of them are crackly, but others are rotten and gross. I make a very small pile. I look at it and decide I'm not jumping in that.

I try to think of the other basic. Oh yeah, tell a kid they are dreaming. I am on a path in the woods, and a jogger is coming towards me. She is a kid, maybe like a high school student, but I check just to be sure:

"How old are you?" I ask.

She stops running and faces me. "16."

"You're dreaming!" I say.

"If you don't shut up, I'm going to hit you," she says.

I back off, and she continues jogging.

I continue on the path until I find a small cabin/mobile home (don't ask) in the woods. Inside are some DCs. More conversation that I can't remember. However, I hear voices up inside a treehouse-like loft. They are discussing someone messing up their abilities to dream. I ascend the wooden ladder up, and see two people I know semi-well from WL. However, I understand that they are DCs and not their real selves. They are crouched over a dream journal. When they see me enter the room, the girl (it's a girl and a guy) moves to cover up the DJ so I can't read it.

"It's just me," I say. "The dreamer." They are smiling now in a mocking way. I sort of lose it here, and demand to know "why you guys (meaning DCs in general) always tease me?"

"Because we can," the girl responds.

"But lots of dreamers get help from their DCs. They teach them fun things like how to fly. You guys always try to trick me."

The girl now laughs and says, "You can't even fly."

I get mad and grab the guy in my fist. He instantly turns into a small, faceless rag doll. The transition was seamless and sort of shocked me. The girl disappeared altogether. I fling the doll down on the ground and leave.

Back in the house, I remember the advanced task--cut off your hand and serve it up for Thanksgiving dinner. I look around and see a half-eaten plate of food: there is some cornbread there and some other stuff I don't remember. I realize that if I hadn't scared the DCs away I could have served them my hand. I leave and begin running back to the first house (where I tried to complete the leaf task.

Once inside the original kitchen, I approach the block of knives. They all appear to be light, serrated blades, and I am not keen on sawing through my wrist. I am hoping for a cleaver, and find a small one, but it is not heavy enough. I finally settle on a knife that probably does not exist in WL, but resembles a butcher knife. I RC to make sure I am dreaming. I then (to be honest, fearing the pain) test the knife by slicing into my index finger. I don't feel anything, and think maybe I missed (lol). However, a line appear on my finger, and I start bleeding. The dream quickly fades and I wake up.

I was inside a school wandering around or maybe a bus when suddenly I appeared in my house but in a room downstairs. I was thinking about trying to share a dream with someone but than I was pulled by something and everything went black. It looked as if there was a black screen with a white (_) sign waiting for something to be typed. It kept blinking so I put in a name I chose randomly by speaking it. But the person's name I put was meshed with another person's name. So I was probably going to call to the dream both of them or one of them.

When the name went through I was pulled to my bed hovering above it and someone who I thought was the person I called but probably wasn't took out a piece of long paper that almost looked like they wanted me to sign it. But instead the guy DC showed me a black outlined Eye and said it was a dark symbol, something about Buddha and how it had to be followed or something. I thought they mentioned Illuminati but maybe not. Perhaps the Eye just made me think it.

Anyways I quickly appeared in a room where I was supposedly watching a regular anime, thought it was Negima but it turned out to be a show for perverts. One of the girls lost her closed and than my dad came in. I told him I wasn't the one watching it and that I'm not gay but he didn't really care much. Than the dream changed and it was as if I was now inside a moving heart or organism's brain. It was pretty much like flowing through something.

I soon appeared on my bed where I thought I woke up but didn't. As I walked to the living room something invisible propelled me to the couch. I was scared but than thought about the dream sharing. I looked out the side window after that and saw two tall guys laughing. I was a bit confused. There was a hooded mysterious character with them bringing them to my house. I thought of him as maybe a guide character and shouted at the two guys.

I told one of them it was a dream and he got really happy and was like " Are you serious!?" I called to him to get his attention after the excitement and asked him if he was the person I was looking for. But he was like "Come over here!" And tried grabbing. Scared I shrunk him and his friend to tiny people, went through the window and started swim flying into the air. I saw a beautiful starry sky surrounding me but than heard a scream from behind me. I guess the DCs got eaten or jumped or stomped on. But it started getting creepy when I was in that heart beat portal. Made me think I was going to die or something. I decided to wake up and woke up.

Finally had a lucid dream after WILDing! It was short though, but I did it

The "tornado" dream was the lucid dream. The horsebackriding dream was non-lucid, but it was kinda fun anyway.
__________________________________________________ _____________________________________

1: I walked on a footpath, in a housing development. Everything was blurry, so immediate I rubbed my hands and shouted: "Clarity now!". I was aware all the time, and decided to try flying. I just jumped, and didn't focus on the ground. The only thing I was thinking, was the air. Well, it worked. I tried flying like Superman and just flied into a different dream scene. I landed on a beach, and suddenly there was some other persons in my dream. DC's.
Something wasn't right, because I heard some loud sounds from the sea. And then I saw it - a giant tornado was coming (saw the "Into the Storm" movie last night, haha, I think that's the reason).
But i had superpowers, so that was no problemo haha
I simply raised my hands, and wanted the tornado to disappear. And, yep, it did. Then, I jumped high in the air and into another dream..


2: I was with a friend, she said that she had to go to her riding lesson. We went there together, and I sat playing audience.
But, she didn't ride on a horse. She rode a white, small, fast goat, and jumped around the area. It was kind of funny to watch, because she fell of the goat and the goat just ran around.

3: Had a nightmare too, but I can't remember the details. All I can remember, is that I ran from someone in a dark forest.

Standing in the street with a bunch of friends, we are all going to a skate park of sorts, but it is far away. They suggest I levitate to make the trip easier. I'm jump up in the air, and lay horizontally, levitating above the ground and slowly moving forwards through the air. I ask them how to go faster because I could walk this fast normally. One of my friends shows me that I can bang my fists together while holding them out in front of me to go faster. It works, but I only go a little faster. I keep doing it, and keep increasing speed, but only slightly.

A large crowd of people are walking in the street, and start tugging on me as I float past them. I think maybe they're jealous, so I stop levitating, and walk with them so they don't feel bad. They settle down when I do this, and we all walk together toward the skate park.

When we get there, it turns into a snow/ice version of a skate park, and I am on a snowboard. People look at me, expecting some fancy tricks. I realize I'm dreaming, and this seems fun, so I drop into a big half pipe type thing on my snow board.

Suddenly, the dream is in 3rd person, as I watch myself doing tricks. But physically, I feel myself doing all of it with first person tactile sensations. I manage to do lots of spins and flips in this way, and people are happy with the performance. I also retain a physical sense of observing all this from about 30 feet away, standing on the packed snow. I go full tilt with spinning super fast, and doing every twist and rotation physically possible.

Now the audience becomes loads of Buddhist monks and nuns, who all look at me at once and tell me it would be a good time to wake up now. I recognize that it's up to me, but I trust them, so I concentrate my mind on waking up. I feel a peaceful tingling, kind of dull and soft, as the dream fades back into my subtle mind, and my waking sense of my body in the dark room gradually exists again in my awareness.

About 30 seconds later, I get out of bed, and walk over to the desk to check the time on my phone. As soon as I pick up my phone, the alarm starts to go off, and I silence it before it wakes my room mates :-)

As I said I'm going to start getting lucid now on will so expect more lucids. Even if they seem short because when I have school I don't have enough chances to have a lucid.


I was walking with my mom after something I don't recall occurs in the dream. But as I was walking my mom pointed out that our house roof, which looked like a animal crossing red roof but bigger, was on the ground right in front of the house. I was surprised but as we walked inside I knew it was a dream.

My dad than gave us orders to stay in a room and away from trouble because there was someone coming to inspect us and that they had a bomb. I looked around and saw a little girl in the room. I don't remember why but for some reason I found her annoying. So I used my dream hand wind powers to pull her up into the air and shook her up a bit. After I put her back down she started complaining. My brother said I probably shouldn't have done that to her cause what if she came back to get me. I told him that she's not going to hurt me and went through the walls and over a fence.

As I was running the scene started transforming into a office building but with narrow halls. I thought something negative was lurking further into the office rooms and decided to go through a clear huge window that showed a welcoming city in view. As I flew I looked around at the scenery than landed somewhere near a fruit market. It had a roof over it and was attached to the supermarket though. But just when I thought things were going good I was suddenly jumped by a group of girls who were set out to get me. Things got intense.

My strength was deteriorating and my movements were slowed down as if they were poisoning me with their negative DC minds. Good thing I'm a trained combat in the art of heavy gravity. I used my sheer will and strength to kick and punch the girl DCs that were surrounding me. Wamo!! In a few minutes they were out of my face. One of the innocent DCs who was a girl started panicking. I asked if she was okay and she said yeah but the girl DCs were treating her like a doll/servant. That's when they came back madder than ever so we fought. It was 3 girls and a guy against one. I was punching, they were swinging, my defense was high up there and the offence was bringing them down. When suddenly...BANG!

They pinned me on the fruit stand and took out a weapon. It was a stick with a diamond/Jewel on the top and it appeared as if they were going to drain me. One of the girls laughed than said " Looks like we finally got you. Its too bad we have to destroy you now." As she was talking I saw that there was a pole somewhere near my hand that another girl was holding. I used all my strength and tried reaching the pole without them noticing.

Just before she could use her power stick on me I grabbed the pole and smacked them all back than through the stick in the air that now exploded and ran into the supermarket. In it I saw a old friend and decided to try one of the dream foods as a reward for my dream fighting training. At first it looked like a peanut butter and jelly snack on the box so I took it. But when I opened it it was fruit roll ups.

I was surprised but content as well. I ate it than noticed the gang of DCs looking for me. I ran up a couple of stairs and shouted for the DCs to stop. I looked at them all intensely and asked why were they still chasing me. Is there something your unhappy about? One of them said they weren't content with their blushing face. A toy whale thing said it wasn't sure what it was confused about and a guy DC said something I don't recall. Anyways I told them to stop the chase and woke up.

I was walking on the middle of the road and then a man wearing one of those yellow construction vest started punching me, so we begin to fight afterwards he yelled out for the police and quickly I could hear their sirens. Something I did which is my usual response to these situations is to attempt to quit game however this did not qualify for the dream. I began forcing myself to enter in one of the police cars, but was then teleported in to the living room. The lights were on, I then continue to ran forward to the back door and opened it with the intention to runaway. That is when I caught myself in thoughts and knew this is a dream. I began running on the road saying I am dreaming and then I ask why was it so dark? I made attempt with dream control to cause the sun to rise however it was futile. It began to get too dark to the point where I could not see anything. The only thing I properly perceive now was the wind passing through me while I ran. Eventually this does not last long. A CPU file appear in the darkness and said rebooting please wait patiently as it finish loading. Soon it reach to a hundred percent and appear in my father room. I ask if I was dreaming as I already had the thought this was an FA. I look at my hand but it appears normal. Before I made it my intention to use the noise pinch RC I woke up. Lucidity Time: 1 minute.

WOW, did I just coin a new phrase? Nope, just did a Google check DSILD

My dream sign is a black cat. Whenever I see a black cat in my dream I become instantly lucid, even if I’m beyond tired and in a deep sleep. I have these little pictures of cats scattered around my house and at work, and whenever I see these pics, I do a reality check. It has worked out really well.

Last night in a dream, I was under a table, on my hands and knees organizing some files. Out of the corner of my eye I could see a black fuzzy thing sneaking up alongside me. I flicked this creeping black thing away using the backside of my hand, without even thinking, and it was sort of like a panic reflex. I then took a close look at what I just flicked, and it was my beautiful black cat, my dream sign. I became instantly lucid. I then looked at the cat and said, “Oh, is that you? I’m sorry, come here.” I called the cat by her name. The cat quickly came to me and I hugged it in my arms. The cat then kissed me right on the lips, just like a person would. Lips actually formed on the cat for an instant as it kissed me, and I felt its little teeth hitting mine. This little cat helps me to become lucid at least once or twice per week, and we always do some snuggles! I swear this cat seeks me out.

My dream started with me waking up in my apartment, it was still very dark outside so I go to turn on the light, but none of the lights in my apartment work, further more no lights anywhere are working, but the power is not out, my computer is running but there's no light coming from the screen, no moon light, nothing, just darkness. I try to light a few candles but when they burn there is no flame, just that blue dim ember burning appearance, nothing that i light will produce a full flame...


If anyone can help me with the meaning of this I'd appreciate it.

I'm at a local pool. But around me are things that I don't remember. The trees are sadder and less alive than before. The grass is gray and the sky is opaque. Where am I? This isn't Pocahontas Pool.
I look ahead of me and see a few people from my school. They don't see me. Instead they're talking to each other. I begin to walk over where they are.
"Hi"
They only stare. Their eyes are cold and I freeze where I stand. I suddenly can't move and my thoughts break like old towers. Then they freeze and I'm able to move. This girl appears from my peripheral. She's quite beautiful. I don't remember her name but I remember seeing her around school. She grabs my hand and leads me in to the pool along with her. She just looks at me. A heart-felt stare. I feel as though she has me captive. I never want to leave.
We get into the water and just float there. She speaks.
"What's your name?"
Her voice is so sweet. Like the sound of birds in morning. I smile.
"Dana"
She swims closer to me. And looks deeper into my eyes. The closer she gets and quicker my heart beats. She touches me and my body softens.
She wraps her arms around my neck and rests her legs around my waist, then says, "Are you a model?"
Why is she asking such a thing? Is this a joke? I feel as though everyone behind me has planned this and if I say something wrong they'll all laugh at me. But then I look into the pool and see my reflection: I'm beautiful. More beautiful than I've ever seen myself.
"No... I'm not"
Her eyes hold something more than she's telling me. They're pale blue and deep as promise.
She leans her head and presses her lips on mine. I feel her tongue reaching in-between my lips. I do the same, and before I know it, where making out.
I've never made out with a girl before. It's quite easy. I've always wondered how it felt. The sensation of someone else's lips on mine. Their warmth making its way into my body. This feels so right. Until she stops.
"Are you ready?"
What is she talking about? I know this must be a joke. I push her away and turn my head.
"What are you talking about?" It comes out with more force than I intended.
"Don't you remember? Today's the day..."
I kind of have an idea where she's taking this. I get out of the pool and walk away. I hear her voice echoing in my head. The more it sounds the angrier I become. I look around me and everyone is still frozen. I look behind me and she's gone.
I look below me and the ground is falling from underneath me. And as it falls I do, too.
:canislucidus:

I was a female reporter for some kind of news agency who had gotten some serious dirt on the US government and they had sent some secret service agents to try and stop me from leaking the word. I was working with this man who looked and dressed just like Morpheus from the matrix movies. I think he was my bodyguard or something.
The funny part was as we were being chased by these guys he was piggy-back-riding me around. We were in a park area but there were many tall buildings around. Somebody pointed out that a speck in the sky was actually just the space station. My vision zoomed in and I could see four large solar panels coming off of it.
He continued running with me on his back. A couple of tranquilizer darts flew past us. I can recall this funny looking helicopter was being used to chase us, with a sniper in it firing the darts. It didn't have a tail or any stabilization. it was just a pod with a big propeller on it. I looked at it and realized that it wouldn't be able to fly, and it crashed.
Eventually we somehow created this portal on the ground and jumped through it.
...
We wound up in this beautiful sanctuary area; some kind of virtual reality or alternate dimension. There were these shallow concrete pyramids with waterfalls running down the sides and various plants and flowers planted in the steps. There was a huge lake; in fact, I think we were on an island. But you could see mountains in the distance. There were also many tall deciduous trees with brightly colored leaves. Everything was tinted autumn colors. (Reds, Oranges, Yellows, Browns). Even the sky was tinted orange.
The Morpheus man told me that the government agents could still find us here, but it was probably safe to rest for the night. He told me to gather wood from the forest so that we could make a fire.
I recall walking into the woods. I see a orange Chinese dragon, about fifteen or twenty feet long flying in the woods, weaving its serpentine body through the trees. It blends well with the leaves, but I'm certain that it's there.
...
I became lucid. I changed myself out of the female reporter guise. I decided to summon Manei for our sit down question time that I've been visualizing. I yelled for her name, and heard her yell back. I looked and standing about a hundred feet into the autumnal forest, I could vaguely make her out.
"Manei, I have some questions for you!"
"Hurry up, the dream is about to end!"
"How come if it's my dream, I can't picture what happens and make it happen?" (I was trying to ask her why my visualization doesn't work.)
"Because you didn't like your cookie from 300 years ago!"
I woke up.

Typical Manei logic...

When I do get my long conversation dream, I should ask her why half the time she makes sense and the other half she says totally random things like that.

I went back to sleep; it was still quite early. I think it yielded a Nonlucid dream, but I cannot recall it.

I woke up in my room (false awakening), but there were two things wrong; it was way too bright, and the window was on the wrong wall. As a reality check, I focused on the curtain and levitated it to the middle of room, and then it vanished. I figured great! Now I can go and explore my dream house! Btw, I’ve never managed to explore my house in a false awakening. I leaped from my bed in excitement, and then I woke up. Dang!

As far as I can remember the dream began with me being chased by something or someone inside of a big building. Once again its dimensions were not from this world, it had 6 or more elevators in the middle and an absolutely exceptional spacey staircase. There was stuff and garbage lying all around and in order to get to the lower levels to escape I had to remove the garbage, for whatever reason. I apparently couldn't use any stairs, or didn't have the idea. Eventually I arrived at level 2 in an elevator, and realized something odd about the dream, pinched my nose and realized I was dreaming.

The elevator opened to a maintenance shaft, through which I floated instead of crawling. I turned around once, not sure why, but the path behind me did not change at least. I exited the building but was still rather high above the ground, a dangerous or deadly height for a normal human. I thought about turning into Ryuuko, so I did that and glided down there, the place was somewhat industrial yet rural. While flying I saw myself from behind for a short moment, and again Ryuukos scales were mostly green, this time however the inner parts of the wings were a flashy blue. I looked at my hands, I could see the claws but the proportions were off, the fingers had totally wrong lengths, which I could fix however. While they were largely covered in green scales, the insides of the hands looked rather human in color if I remember right. I landed on something container like and I thought about trying to breathe fire, but remembered I didn't have the skill and needed some skill points from quests and the likes to enable it. There were a few people close by (I think they wore cloaks or something along those lines), so I tried talking to them but when I was asking for a quest I suddenly couldn't talk anymore and woke up with a rather dry mouth. Meh.


Well, I tried to stabilize a little with my mind but I think I should've paid it more attention. Also next time I turn into Ryuuko I should try to not just adapt to her body, but her mind as well. In the beginning of the game there'd be no way she'd just go to random people and ask them for a quest. Next time around I should ask the game, the dream itself for a quest or something like that. Also the transformation was not complete again, I forgot to add the 6 tentacles on her back. Also I was obviously not in Cardia, so I need to fix that next time as well.

I'm visiting someone, arriving in the yard behind her house, and I find two men doing yard work. I'm surprised, and when I talk to them, one of them complains about being summoned like this - straight out of bed, early on a Sunday morning. (Summoned in the magical sense of the word - he was asleep in bed, and then he was here being put to work.) I go into the house, calling out, "Babe?" There are a few other workers around, and they give me odd looks for the term babe. It occurs to me that the word may be outdated. Or it may be that the woman I'm meeting looks much older than me now, since her hair's white. You have to keep adjusting the way you address humans as they age - it's a headache to keep track of all this stuff.

I find her and ask her about all this work she's having done around the house, and when we step aside from the workers for a moment I point out to her that summoning people on a weekend is rude, and besides, we're supposed to be demonstrating that we're not cartoonish villains here. What does she think she's doing, summoning up people like this? We are supposed to be reformed, we don't get to keep minions anymore. She protests that her helpers aren't 'minions,' but they most certainly are.

I'm taking a little kid home to her family. Initially I'd tried to just send her home with the click-your-heels-three-times bit, but while we wound up somewhere familiar to her, it wasn't actually her family's house. So I'm flying her back the rest of the way - but the kid was so excited about flying, I gave in and kept flying around instead of just taking her straight home. It's a pleasant night flight - lasted a long time and there were so many beautiful views, I deliberately made an effort to remember all of what I was seeing so I wouldn't forget it when I woke up. But despite that, there's not much to describe - a lot of scenes of beautiful city lights seen from far above, and occasionally diving down low over traffic to amuse the kid. The lucid observer part of me wondered why the dream character part of me stuck to following the roads - I supposed it helped with navigation. At one point while we were diving low, we wound up passing underneath this large overhang at a trolley station, and I found it difficult to gain altitude again when shut in from above, so we landed in the trolley car.

I was doing my usual really late sleeping in WBTBs, and I started getting the usual vibrations. But this time it was accompanied by some little demonic sounds. As I was transitioning, little demon voices started talking right beside my night stand haha! I understood completely that they were not real, but you know how you can feel more vulnerable in bed and get scared easy? Well I just felt like NOT starting my LD, and rather just crawl in deeper under my covers. But I resisted the urge and allowed the demon voices to do their thing. I don't have to look that direction if I don't want to. The dream had basically already started, I just needed to crawl out of the bed.

I got up, left the room and my little demon buddies behind, and went down the hall into the living room. Light wasn't good, it was that early morning dull light. I could see 2 of my dogs on the couch, and I went over to Daisy and pet her and cooed at her a bit. The blinds on my living room window were closed, but it looked like there was really bright full sunlight starting to stream though. So I flew across the living room, and fly-phased (my new thing) through the living room window and landed outside.

It was the typical for my front yard in lucids: 8am sunny and bright, and sparkly as if it had rained all night. No DCs anywhere. I waited too long to record this dream, but I remember just fiddling with random shit in the front yard. I even started getting bored because it got dark and cloudy again, and there were no DCs, and I couldn't think of a totm. I finally thought of Percy and recalled the leaves basic task he posted. There weren't many leaves on the ground, and it was kinda muddy still. But I gathered as many leaves as I could with a couple big arm swoops, and made a pile that was as big as me surface-area-wise, but maybe 2 inches tall at best. I just kinda flopped down on them, and instead of a satisfying soft crunch like you would hope, it was an unsatisfying wet, matted down sound. Yay lol.

I saw some neighbors appear next door, so I went to go talk to them, relieved for a chance to get unbored. I followed them into their house and I don't remember much else. Pretty sure I lost lucidity then woke up.
