lucid

11/21/2012

My brother is laying out by a pool in a storm. I have to go save him. A snake is about to bite him. I go to pick him up and the snake bits me on the throat. Son of a bitch. Wake

My cousin invites a bunch of Amish people to his thanksgiving dinner. I am super drunk and cussing at everyone. The Amish are not thrilled.
My two buddies Robby and Quentin get into a fight because somehow they are mortal enemies. I break it up.

Stopped a robbery at a gas station. Everyone was speaking a different language than me. For some reason I think I was supposed to be in Brazil.

LUCID
I dive into a lake and can't find the surface. I realize I am dreaming and start breathing. I breath underwater and swim down. There is some sort of under water fort. I sneak around through it but don't see any crazy creatures. I go back outside on the castle walls and see an army of mermaid like fish people assembled outside the gates to the castle. I use some kind of force push with my voice and the are all sent head over heels out of my line of sight.

1st Dream
It is christmas at my grandparents house. Things are going pretty normal. I am lucid but not making anything really crazy happen because I am having a good time. I haven't got to spend Christmas with my whole huge family in a long time so it was fun to do. We are in my grandparents basement playing games. My cousin shows up late and wants to spread some christmas cheer. I'm down for that so we all go out caroling in the neighborhood although the only song we sing is Jingle Bell Rock. We do this for a while then head back to the house. It is snowing as we get back. My cousin says he wants to spread more Christmas cheer and I ask him how he wants to do that. He shows me sculptures of the heads of our family members who have died in the past 10 year. He wants to presenent them to the whole family. I luckily persuade him this is a terrible idea and we just rejoin the party.

Later on everyone at the party starts giving me shit for no reason. I have lost lucidity at this point. I get really pissed at everyone because if this. For some reason now my buddy Kyle is there and he has a stolen weed plant he says he got from the neighbors yard. My mom does not approve. Everyone lines up to take a christmas picture and for some reason we decide the best way would be for everyone to do headstands. There were almost 40 of us there. I wish I had that picture for real.

This was the night of November 3rd/Morning of November 4th

.

Pre-knowledge:
I went to bed around 6AM (Was up late drinking with my friends.) Only got about 4+3/4 hours of sleep. The dream got more and more vivid as it went on. I got more and more aware/lucid as it went on as well. I'm not quite sure whether it started in a street, my room, a mall, or the computer labs at my school. I'll just explain all scenes and how I think they go together.. Again, I will label violent/scary/weird parts in RED

The Dream!

I was at home, in my room. My sister kept bothering me. My friend Jesse came over. My friend Jesse is a pretty big stoner, so I asked my mom for $20 for marijuana.

We went out to this street for I don't know what reason. We were near a car on the side of the road. Two black guys kept talking to me about money and I said something along the lines of "Hey everyone has a use for $20 in today's society!" I turned around back at Jesse and my sister and there was a giant tree I had to go through to get to them.

In the next scene, its my sister, Jesse and I at some sort of store. We were just messing around at the store. Opening random items, tasting things we had never tried before etc. I was eating some sort of Ice cream with my hands as I walked down an isle. The isle slowly turned into the entrance to the computer labs at my uni.

There was a cop there, so I devoured whatever was left in my hand. I talked to the lady at the front desk to use the computers. She yelled to a teacher that his shift was starting soon (I had shown up for class.) There were a lot of chairs along the side of the wall, where people were sitting/studying. I noticed the lady was talking to my Composition teacher who was sitting in one of these chairs. For some reason I got really absorbed by his face. There were suddenly two of him and his face kept changing.

I became lucid somewhere around this point.

He started explaining some concept to me and I was envisioning what he said. He got to a climax in his speech about "YOU NEED PHYSICAL STRENGTH!" I was then on a beach. Me and a group of five people were at one end of a rope, and six on the other. The other team was pulling us pretty slowly. The rope went around a pole in the middle, so both teams pulled in the same direction. We were fighting over a very beautiful naked woman.

I gained some strength and in one big jolt, won the game of tug of war. All the other competitors disappeared once it was over. It was me and this beautiful girl on a tropical island. The island was completely square with beach on all sides. Nobody could get off of the beach as the rest of it was ALL thorns. I kept trying to have sex with this girl, and the scene kept getting creepier. It got really stormy. We turned around one of the corners of the island and down the beach I saw a very strange figure. It was a giant monster. I grabbed the girl and said "It's okay it's only a dream."

I tried to make the monster go away, but I kept focusing on it. It was still slowly approaching. I saw a ton of eyes looking at us from the thorns. The monster kept changing form/shape which is why I was attentive to it. I realized I was paying too much attention to these details, so I turned 180 degrees. Everything disappeared without attention on it. The day went back to normal and the things were gone. I ended up talking to the girl/teasing her in the water. Because I was lucid, I wanted to know what its like underwater, so I tried summoning some goggles. I wanted to explore.

It didn't work, so I turned around and to my luck, there was an ambulance floating in the water. I kept trying to open the things on the ambulance knowing there would be goggles inside. I couldn't open it, so I just ended up going underwater without goggles.

It was beautiful. The color and clarity were so vivid. There were small white fish as far as the eye could see. There were pink streamer like seaweed strands floating in the current, like they were hanging down from the top of the water. The ocean bed was covered in coral and other wild life. There were giant snails and there was a very tall coral formation. There was an octopus on the side, and a mermaid laying on top in a giant white anemone.

At this point, my phone woke me up (Stupid low battery .) I didn't want to waste the day away, so I didn't go back to bed. I am ready for REM rebound tonight!

from 5:30 to 7 am I had a false awakening to a dream to another false awakening!!!

I can't remember any details other than the first one other my family and I were at some house, my sister got in trouble at school with some guy, got into a fight I think but my 3rd grade teacher name came up.

dream some guy really dark and could see his face was being very sexual with me and I didn't like it at all!! I tried to write down everything into my dream journal but myself said I was too lazy so I said my phone then. then i tried it and it was dead and so was my laptop but when i pulled it in my phone started to charge. i think i went lucid then because i heard a chime when i said this doesnt make sense! then I lost it and went back into dream/ false awakening again and started off from the last one and the laptop. my father was hiding in a closet saying he wanted to know why she was in trouble and said mrs miller said a needle would be in her hair. heard another chime and woke up....I'm pissed

This dream was an unsuccessful/successful lucid as it was short and mostly blind but I got to try some new things like phasing and different uses of expectation. (I couldn't phase through a door but was able to use expectation to make it disappear.)

I had some really interesting and new things happen with sound as well. During my DEILD I heard a buzzing sound and then the alarm clock. I kept in mind that it could be fake and found out that I only had to concentrate just a little to make it stop for a few seconds. That turned out to be a great reality test and told me it was go time. At a later point I could hear the fan like it was centered the living room. This was an odd experience as the sound changed as I walked around it but I knew that in reality the fan was in the bed room with me and I wasn't really walking around it.

Also, my transitions from physical to dream body seem to be getting quick and effortless so that's a plus. I probably would have continued my chain but I think it was the baby that woke me. Oh well that's life.

Hey guys, so first off, I want to say that I've had about 5 LDs, but I've unfortunately only written about one. I will definitely start wrtiting in here more often. Also, I want to say that I have good dream recall now, so I can remember dreams almost every night. Alright, so here I go. This morning, I woke up and didn't move. I didn't have any dreams (I don't think) and I was probably mostly asleep when I just briefly thought about LDing (I didn't even plan on LDing) when instantly, my body started vibratingand I couldn't move. It felt like my foot was asleep, except on my whole body. I couldn't mistake that it was SP. I closed my eyes so I wouldn't see any hallucinations. Here's the weird part: When I opened my eyes, I was in a dark field, even though I was still in SP. I closed my eyes, and almost instantly, I was thrust into a LD. When I opened my eyes, it was dark, and I was in my front yard (We live in the middle of the woods). There was a man standing next to me in a wrestling mask (could he be my Dream Guide??) And he was telling me to vote on something. Let me just say, everything was more vivid then life, and I could FEEL the weather (it was freezing.) I told the man (I was lucid) that if I was voting, I wanted to use the electronic voting booth. The only reason I was doing this was to practice summoning. Instantly when I looked over, there was a bright voting booth. When I looked towards my house, I could see my dad sitting in a chair at the door. I closed my eyes and tried to imagine downtown Atlanta (I live in Georgia.) Nothing showed up. I walked inside, and my dad was talking about the weather to my mom. I asked him if he would drive me to Atlanta. He said yes, and when I looked out into the front yard, in between the woods were semi trucks like a truck stop, and a plane was landing overhead. The lights were more vivid than real life. It was Atlanta in the woods! There was a parking lot on the side of our house, and he said we would take the big bus (we don't have a bus). We got in and the whole place was red, with TVs for windows. He said that when he got on his phone, the bus ride would intensify, and then I woke up.

Of all the times I've had a lucid dream, this one was actually induced by a nightmare. I'll start from the regular dream first.

I was at my grandmother's house with my sister (Eva) and we were playing some video game system in the backyard on a projection screen. For some reason, there was a piano in view 10 yards in front of where we were playing. While we were playing some game, an unknown being had struck three chords on the piano. My first thought that it was a ghost because Eva and I have had a paranormal experience where a piano has played on its own. I tell her "turn off the game don't acknowledge it at all let's just go to the porch." So it was like we hadn't heard the noise but we put our heads down as we walk to the porch where there are other people talking about what had just happened.

At this point I am spooked and am only thinking about ghosts. I walk inside to find I'm in my living room by myself. My family owns this big clanky television that has a glare when it is off, so I walk up to the screen and all of the sudden I see a black shadow of a person behind me in the reflection. I scream and turn around to find I'm now lucid because I think that there's no way this could happen. I scream and run around the black shadow as I look at my hands and realize how vivid they are. Outside is now my actual backyard and I run around to the side of my house where my drive way is and I run up it. My only intention was to get away from the shadow, so now I have nothing to do as my dream starts to fade. It turns to black but I can tell I'm still in some dream state.After that I woke up panting in the dark. One of my problems is that there are plenty of times when I'm in this state of darkness but still dreaming, and I just need to find a way to visualize the next place to go with the next dream.

First dream...either I'm watching a movie, in it or just the perspective keeps changing. This takes place like 20 years after DC gets decimated by some alien attack. These aliens basically look like us if we didn't have skin. They possessed this power to transform us into them, and I guess we were some of the last few remaining people. Some sort of way, the humans and aliens came to a truce, but right when the humans were least expecting it, the aliens started invading the last human town.


I get out of my bead and head to the living room. I plan on visiting Kaomea, so I decided to use my new teleport technique (taught by some crazy DC a while ago). I went up to a wall, and opened up a portal, and climbed through it. The weird part about it was I saw some guy on the other side, with like a dragon on his chest....and the guy looked like me.

Anyways, I get through to the other side, and I'm totally not where I wanted to be. I'm in an underground cavern...walls are red, floors are red....molten lava is everywhere. This is either hell or something similar. All these monsters started coming at me, and then the cavalry arrived. Thor, a valkarie, Conan, and the Green Lantern showed up. We started handing out ass whoopings throughout the dream. I don't know exactly how the fighting was (because this happened hours ago) but I do remember Thor tried a synergy attack and it backfired. Giant golems appeared, and started fighting some of the monsters, before the part of the cliff they were standing on gave way. We had even less room to fight, and I guess all of the monsters could fly like nothing. Eventually Thor used his magic on Conan's sword and it grew ten times it's size and he ended up killing everything.

I get out of my bed, it's dark. I think that it's possibly reality....I turned on the light (ceiling fan that I don't own IRL turns on) and it it stayed dark....bingo. I double check by trying a little TK on my way out of the house, but nothing special. I get outside, and it's day time. I jumped up, and glided towards the ground. My brother was there, and he asked me how to fly. Now get this....my normal method of flying is sheer will. The way I explained it to him was pretty awesome though. "I jumped up and told him to let the breeze carry you." It was so easy...it was like everything was auto pushing me exactly where I needed to go. Then I told him I had to leave because I needed to find you and I think I knew exactly where.

There was a river with a water fall, and I headed straight for it. I flew down and it lead to another one, and another one, and finally this Indian bath area. Everyone is wearing white robes, and it looks kinda like a scene from slum dog millionaires. All the people are friendly, and I head out of the water....but guess what....there's a party going on in the back.

I head back there through a narrow corridor, and it's happening on at least two or three floors. Some guys are discussing their game plans to hook up with these women, but I think they're short a guy, so they tell me to come with them. We head up a floor and meet up with them, and they all start walking upstairs. I hung back, and they all went to the third floor. Then all the other girls just showed up on the second...they gave those other guys the slip. So the four girls decided we'd head outside, and we're at this courtyard, and people are wearing prom dresses and crap. They really like me and think I'm cool, and simultaneously the blonde DC (could have been HER) right next me and I say "Have you guys ever had a three way kiss?". I tried my hardest not to blurt out "knock on wood" and act silly. The other three girls say "no". I said now was the perfect time to make history.

So we all got in close and made out in one tight circle. Then one of the girls wanted to record it on her phone, so we did it again several more times. The End.

I made it snow in this LD, but much earlier in the dream than I'd intended! I'd like to try this one again.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #35: The Blizzard

My friend J is showing off the contents of a huge wall safe to me and a couple of other people. The safe is about 5 feet tall and features not only a combination lock but also the dual-key system you usually find in safe deposit boxes. Each shelf is stacked with interesting little boxes. There's something dreamlike about all of this to me and I become lucid.

I ask J, "Have you got anything really cool in there?" He motions for me to move closer. "Oh yeah. Check this out." He hands me a small piece of paper with cursive printing on it. The top of it reads: "Receipt for Money Laundering". This amuses me, but I decide not to get too stuck trying to read the rest of it. The Task of the Month (making it snow) is on my mind now and I head for some automatic doors.

Fortunately, the automatic doors work perfectly well this time (unlike a few dreams back), and I walk through a two sets of them, repeating over and over to myself, "I'm having a lucid dream and I'm going to make it snow."

The next room is a post office filled with dream characters waiting in line. Hell if I'm going to spend a lucid dream hanging around in the post office, so I start running. Still repeating my mantra, I go through another automatic door into a quiet, windowed reception area.

Through the window I see that it's night outside and a fierce blizzard is swirling outside. There's a road outside and the headlights of passing cars illuminate twisting snow eddies. An 18-wheeler roars by and blows its horn for no apparent reason. The snowfall is so thick that the truck disappears quickly after passing.

I try to head for the building's exit, but it's extremely hard to move. Even though I can't feel the cold winds outside, somehow they're affecting things inside the reception area. I lean into "wind" that I can't even feel, trying to push forward outside into the actual blizzard. It occurs to me that I'm trying to get better at flowing with adversity in lucid dreams, especially adversity in the form of wind. My brute force progress is slow, but I make it close to the exit. Before I make it out, though, I wake up.

I wake up in a comfortable position to DEILD so I roll out to enter the dream. I land on my feet. I purposely fall back and close my eyes because I heard this increases lucidity. I reappear in the same dream scape.
I go to the bathroom and I look into the mirror. I see myself as a normal person. I put my hand up to the mirror and try to go through it. I don't go through it but it did felt strange. I push it and it bends a little, like it is made out of some cheap plastic. I then get a pointy object and poke a hole into the mirror. A strange multi colored substance oozes out of the mirror. I dip my finger on it. The substance then started to spread over my finger slowly. I thought it might take over my body or something but didn't get scared.

Even thought the bathroom door is closed a part of it is made out of glass. I see a shadowy figure quickly moved past the bathroom door. I then look out and I see some random guy just staring at me so I come out. I asked "who are you and what do you represent" And I couldn't remember.

He vanishes. Ahead of the bathroom is the living room and I see the window. It was a cloudy morning in this world. I then remembered my goal to practice psi in the dream world. My intention manifested in a book about psi appearing on a nearby table. I am impatient and didn't want to read a book, instead I wanted to summon some sort of master to teach me instead. There was another book on the table about programming in C# but I didn't even pick that up. I tried to summon the master of psi but pretending he's there but I wake up soon after.

Yes, you read that right. I have successfully managed to WILD.

At about 12:30pm I decided I'd try and WILD again, I had a few bad experiences the last times I'd attempted this but my room was very light and it's been over 24 hours since my last medication so I decided nothing could go wrong. I put some pink noise and 10 minute restless to learning binaural beats through my headphones, set my alarm to go off 10 minutes later and lay back to try and fully relax my body until it were asleep. I kept reminding myself in my head that I would be dreaming when the next thing came into my mind and soon enough I could feel my limbs beginning to have a slight twitch in them and images forming in my mind.

I saw a coffee cup in my mind which then transformed to being on a desk that I was sat behind. I don't drink tea or coffee but I picked the cup up and took a sip. Looking down at myself I realized I had a smart business suit style dress and high heels on, neither of which do I normally wear. I had already convinced myself I would have been dreaming and by this point I had confirmed it to my brain. Looking up again the background of my position had formed itself into a typical office with a few plants in it. Laughing to myself I got up and started to walk out of the office, leaving the door and reaching a corridor.

As I got to this corridor I wondered if I could run in heels, normally I can't even walk in them so I gave it a go and sure enough, normal running, in heels that were at least 6 inches high. This time I laughed aloud, "Brilliant!" I exclaimed, reaching down to take them off as I stood in the middle of this grey concrete corridor. "Absolutely brilliant! ... I really don't like this dress..." After I'd thrown my shoes to the floor I started to unzip the dress, sliding it off my shoulders to find myself dressed in my favourite jeans and t-shirt. I looked up again and found the glass wall that was at the end of the corridor to now be right in front of me. For no other reason than because I could, I decided to jump out of this window thing.

As I started to fall to the ground, no glass impaled in me at all I realized I was in the centre of London. I hit the ground in a classic crouch with one hand on the floor, my first thought being 'Ow, my shoulder hurts.' As soon as this thought had entered my mind I realized that in actual fact, none of my body hurt. My conscious mind was aware that my limbs were twitching again, in correspondence to my dream actions so I stood up and began to look around me. "I have absolutely no idea where I am" I laughed, being completely useless at Geography. "Well this is great, I finally realize I'm dreaming and don't know where I am, typical Katie" I hit myself in the face with my hand, laughing at my own stupidity for both my lostness and the thought that had just crossed my mind. "Oh you are stupid sometimes. You're dreaming, you can do whatever you want to do!" I cried, grinning as I went to kick-off into the sky, intending to fly to where I wanted to be. As I got about 10 feet off the ground I had another brain revelation. "Wait, why fly, when you can teleport if you want?" As soon as this thought had crossed my mind I was no longer in the middle of London, a couple of feet off the ground but right in front of my boyfriend, who looked at me in relief.

As I threw my arms around him in a tight hug I smiled slightly. "I missed you" I sighed.
"You've missed me?!" he cried, hugging me tightly, "Katie, you've been missing for 20 days!" he exclaimed, pulling away to look at me properly. "I was beginning to think I'd never see you again!" I looked at him with anguish and confusion on my face.
"But, I was at work... in an office in London... I can't have been missing..." His expression instantly turned to one of pity as he studied me.
"Katie... you work in the RAF, you're a doctor, remember? You were taken from your office 20 days ago, you've never worked in London..."

At this point I lost my grip on the dream and it faded because my mind decided it had to remind me about the coursework I have due in tomorrow! But I'm quite proud I managed to get that far! This whole process lasted 7 minutes as when I removed my headphones after loosing the dreams I had 3 minutes until my alarm went off.

This was a very long dream that I don't remember much of so here's a fragment:

I was flying over some water and there was someone chasing me, I was very uncomfortable and didn't want to be caught. I appear at an island with a large villa on it, this is where I know there's no way in hell I can survive the person chasing me. As I was admitting defeat, now walking toward the hostile with a "just get it over with feeling" I become lucid, I've never been this sure I was in a dream in my entire life, it was amazing. I'm 120% convince I'm dreaming. The hostile was flying toward me with probably 150km/h speed, and I grab the hostile in the air with telekinetic power around it's neck about 5 meters before he reaches me. The hostile becomes smaller, almost like a balloon that someone poked a hole in and dies immediately.

There was no hesitation, no issue with controlling my power as I was very sure this was a dream. Getting lucid & killing the hostile all happened in half a second, it was completely spontaneous and there was no questioning whether I could do it or not.

When the hostile was dead, I flew around the villa for a while, it was sunny and as vivid as my dreams get, I was trying to look for a woman to have sex with. Unfortunately there were none anywhere, I imagined one appearing around the next corner without success. I was pretty amazed, and I was talking to myself, and managed to make my voice sound normal. "I'm dreaming, this is a dream" "Increase graphics!" I also began spinning at one point. I was flying around for probably about 25 seconds or so, before I felt the dream was collapsing on me, I tried holding on to it by spinning but it didn't work.

Last night I got to bed extremely early and therefore had awesome recall. To avoid a super long post, I'll post them all separately.

Fly, Flee, Fight (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Looking in the mirror, I am horrified to realize that one of my front teeth has been chipped. The more I look at it, the worse it gets. "This HAS to be a dream," I think, though I'm convinced that it is reality. Even so, I do a reality check and am relieved (and surprised) to find that I am, in fact, dreaming.

I head to the living room and run into my brother. "I'm dreaming," I tell him. He suddenly morphs into a rather girlish looking boy with long black hair. "Cool," he says. "What are you going to do?"

"I just want to go out and explore." I say. "A kind of vacation from the stress of earlier in the dream." My feet are cold and I am looking for socks and shoes to put on, then I wonder why I'm bothering with such silly details. Shoes will automatically appear on my feet if I walk outside.

Sure enough, they do.

The boy who was previously my brother steps outside with me. "I know of a cool place we could go," he tells me excitedly. "Follow me!" He proceeds to fly off in a southward direction. Wanting to add new places to my dream map, I hurriedly follow, though I have always had problems flying at the fast pace that he is keeping. Suddenly, I realize EXACTLY how to do it and I am flying faster than ever before to keep up with him. ((I'm clearly not paying attention to where we're going, however, because though I KNOW we were originally going south, we end up in the northern woods of my dream world.))

We land in a small area in the woods that appears to be a village of Fairies. The Fairies are human sized with bright, colorful wings. We spend a lot of time talking to them, and they give us some sort of Honorary Fairy status.

We decide to have a race with some of the Fairies that will end at my house. There are many colorful floating checkpoints in the air that mark the route we are supposed to take. We have to fly as close to the markers as we can to get points and to make sure we're not taking any shortcuts.

We take off and I easily follow the trail of checkpoints, even when it shoots way up into the air and then does complicated spirals and loops downward. It's amazingly fun!

The race is interrupted, however, when some kind of strange force crash lands us into a cabin in the woods. Inside the cabin is a large square patch of ice, kind of like a skating rink that isn't round. We are playing around with this when suddenly a door opens in the back and the same force sucks the two Fairies with us into a back room. A sinister feeling suddenly overwhelms us, and I temporarily lose lucidity as the boy and I run from the cabin in terror, some unseen evil chasing quickly after us.

Suddenly I stop, becoming lucid again and realizing that I'm being cowardly. I force the boy to stop, too. "We can't just leave our friends back there!" I yell at him.

"But we don't have anything to fight with," he stammers, afraid.

"This is a dream, MAKE a weapon. Like this!" I act as though I'm drawing a sword from a sheath at my side. I can feel the sword in my hand, but it seems to be invisible.

"There's nothing there!" He yells.

"Hey, an invisible sword works just as well as a visible one," I defend. At this time, an evil woman and her scary looking cat-creature approach us. The cat lunges at me, but I decapitate it with my invisible sword. I grin, pleased that this actually worked.

The woman then criticizes my fighting skills, saying that my stance is off and that I'm holding my sword wrong. She says she'll have to teach me. We end up having a mock sword fight with plastic zip ties. She seems rather bored, so I perform a sneak attack with my zip tie to prove that I'm a competent fighter. I barely touch her arm, and if you've ever seen a zip tie it's obviously not sharp in the slightest and extremely flimsy, so I am shocked when it cuts her nearly clean in half!!! She falls to the ground in a pool of blood, a surprised look on her face.

I wake up shortly afterwards.

I had a lucid dream last night, my 5th! This one was the first one vivid enough to actually write about. It was short, but sweet. And I think I've broken a long dry spell after attempting to get back into LDing!


I was in one of my classrooms, at a desk. I looked around for a while, bored. I decided to idly nose RC. I do that often in real school. I found that I was breathing through my held nose. It felt like my nose was running, but I could still breathe. I looked down and tried to count my fingers, losing count multiple times. I got pretty excited. I looked around the room again. I have never had a dream this vivid. The entire thing felt completely real. It was so bright, too. I was surprised. All I can remember that was out of the ordinary was that my teacher was not the right teacher for the class I was in, and a thin, faded black border around the edge of my vision. I got out of my chair, thinking of what to do. I walked over to my teacher, holding my nose harder to confirm that it was a dream. I was going to slap him in the face just for fun, but wasn't confident enough. I turned around and walked to the classroom door, thinking of what to do. I told myself that my friend was just outside the door. When I opened the door, my friend wasn't there, and some visual distortions and purplish-blue spots faded in and out of my vision-something that happens when my dreams collapse. I stopped thinking and they slowly stopped. I walked down the hall, finally remembering I should stabilize the LD. I was pretty excited at that point that i was able to stop the distortions. I walked to one side of the hall to rub my hand on the wall, hoping to stabilize the dream, but that is all I remember.
