lucid

Awake, Non-lucid, Lucid, [Commentary made while awake]

[This is a catch-up post. These dreams are from the nights of December 24-27, 2011. Adult content warning for the one from December 25-26.]

Night of December 24-25

I'm at church, with my choir, accompanying our performance of “What Child is This?” on my clarinet. My clarinet keeps misfiring; some of the notes here and there refuse to play. I'm embarrassed. [This was definitely an anxiety dream. Exactly that actually happened during our choir rehearsal on Thursday, December 22, and I was afraid it was going to happen during the performance, which was the morning after I had this dream, on Christmas Day. Thankfully, it didn't happen; my clarinet worked fine.]

Night of December 25-26

I'm at this place that's kind of like a spa. It's a place for people to rest, relax, and renew. I'm in an outdoor area of this place, and it's a beautiful, warm, sunny day. I'm lying around on the ground, wearing only panties, along with several other women who are doing exactly the same. Other people are walking around the grounds, and the thought crosses my mind: Maybe I should go and put on some slightly more modest panties.

All of a sudden, I'm being molested by a group of two or three men. I manage to fight them off and struggle out of their grasp. All the while, I'm shouting at them, forcefully telling them to stop, and that I don't like or appreciate what they're doing. I end my tirade by telling another man, who's just sitting on the ground watching the proceedings, that he's a despicable jerk, too [or something to that effect; I don't remember my exact words here]. I tell him this because I know that he's being paid to be there as a witness to the scene that just unfolded. I also know that the molesters were also hired to do what they did. The men who hired them are also in the scene, standing around, watching it all happen. I know exactly what they're doing: They're lawyers, and they have a racket going on where they hire people to rape beautiful girls in establishments like the one I'm at, and then get the girls to sue those establishments for a lot of money, of which they get a percentage because they act as the girls' representation.

Night of December 26-27

I'm at work, but I'm participating in a dramatization of the work we do at my workplace for TV. The part of my boss [who I've mentioned in this DJ before] is being played by Tim Allen. I reflect that this was a strange casting choice, since he doesn't look at all like my boss, nor does he act much like him.

I'm watching a movie about a big, tall castle, a white one that looks like it came straight out of a fairy tale. I'm immersed in the movie, and I'm flying in circles around the top of the castle's high, central tower. There is a song playing on the movie soundtrack that I find kind of annoying, so I want to change the channel on the movie. Awww, man, the remote's all the way down there, I think to myself when I look down at the ground and see the TV remote control lying there. Then I think, Maybe I can get it by telekinesis. Wait a second. If I'm thinking about getting the remote by telekinesis, and flying around, I must be dreaming.

I stretch out my hand toward the remote control and concentrate on it, trying to use the force of my will to pull it into my hand. It doesn't work. Then, my mind calls up the primary example in my schema for what pulling an object into your hand with your mind looks like: the wampa cave scene from The Empire Strikes Back [starting at 2:20]. I think, It's kind of like the object is attached to a bungee cord that snaps it back into your hand. I try again, keeping that analogy in mind and focusing on it. This time, it works. The remote control flies up into my hand, just as if it were attached to a bungee cord.

At this point, I abruptly realize that during the time I've been concentrating on drawing the remote control into my hand, I haven't been concentrating on flying, so I've been gradually descending without noticing it. I'm now only a yard or two above the ground. I quickly correct for this and start climbing again. As I do so, I think, “And hurry! We're losing altitude fast!” And yes, “altitude” is the correct term in this instance, because this is a planet I'm flying over, not a moon. Even if it is just a dream planet. [This is a reference to the original version of the “Star Tours” ride from the Disney theme parks.] The remote control has transformed into a deodorant stick, which I use on myself. [? I don't even know.]

I woke up very pleased with myself, knowing that I could finally cross “Move an object with my mind” off my master list of lucid goals!

I find myself in my room as usual, and when I head outside, there are a bunch of wizards/mages or whatever in the middle of the road. Everyone out there is just casting random stuff, and I fly out there, and basically tell them all to fight me.

Obviously, being in the middle wasn't a good idea, so I started to work my way to the outside. I tried using a frost aura, and it was pretty sweet. Snow-like ice was perpetually shooting out of my feet in all directions at a marginal distance of about 2 feet. It didn't do much damage, so I kept that rolling while throwing fireballs at them. My hands were on fire, and I kept alternating throwing motions with each hands to fling them. The mages were returning fire, but I was pretty much invincible, or my aura was more of a defensive thing. Either way, I figured it would be a good time to work on my short range teleporting. I tried it, and flew backwards about twenty feet, dodging some of the mages magic. I tried it again, and went back forwards. It was almost like flying except I didn't have to think about it at all...I was up in the air about a foot off the ground and I traveled to my destination.

I thought about it again, and felt that it was really just some form of low altitude long jump, so I decided to try something else. Everytime they got a lock on me, I would focus on being at an area, and close my eyes. When I opened them, I would be roughly at that spot. Now this, felt like teleporting! I did it over and over, while trying to hone in on what exactly is happening other than just badassery. When I close my eyes, I can see smoke, and when I open them, I'm where I was looking at. It seems pretty simple, but this has taken me a long time to learn.

I was already asleep, and I ended up going into SP. I was trying to fight it for a while, and I broke out of it. I was really sleepy so I decided to lay right back down. It hits me again, and this time I just relax, and slip into the dream.

I'm laying in bed, when this hollow ghost-like character floats into the room. It has a blueish outline, and it had a mask. Something like either a ninja mask, or a nights helmet. Anyways, the thing floats in, and merges with me. At first I was like "wtf", and then I just reminded myself it's just a dream anyway.

My room was well lit up, but everything else in my house was pitch black. I didn't know if it was because I didn't stabilize when I started or what. I headed out my house and wondered Kaomea was near by so I yelled out for her. Nothing. I took to the skies and found myself in this city I've never been to.

This place was very dark, dirty and gloomy. It seemed to be teaming with shady characters. There were plenty of buildings and alleyways for some good sandbox fun, but I had another objective. I continued on and asked a pair of DC's if they saw her, and one of them glared at me and said "I haven't even heard of that name". I turned around, and started making a portal. "Maybe she's elsewhere" I thought.

As I was gathering my energy, one of those same DC's was wondering what the heck I was doing. I could almost feel her looking at me. My hands started to glow bright orange, and when I tried to release the energy on the ground, it just turned into a greenish gunk. I tried it again, this time quicker, and still failed. So I decided to continue investigating this city.

I came up a line, and there seemed to be a bunch of DC's waiting to get inside a club. I asked one of them if Kaomea was there, and they said "she's already inside". I headed straight to the front, and told the guy I was going to go in on VIP. The guy told me it would be 10 bucks. I had a few one dollar bills in there, so I put it away, and grabbed it again, and it had a couple of twenties or so. I handed the guy the money, and someone else said that I'd need a wristband....we were both surprised when he realized I was already wearing one. The one he had was purple, but the one I was wearing was orange. I don't know why, but I wanted that purple one. the guy said it'd would be an extra 20 bucks, so I handed it to him, and woke up.

I was at the swimming baths trying to convince people that I could breathe
Underwater, the next thing I remember is a plane attempting to taxi out of a busy street, there were police everywhere, I was also a cop, then a side door opened from the plane and a guy came running out of nowhere and jumped into the open plane door. The plane then turned onto a busy motorway and started to take off, when I got onto the motorway, the plane hd turned into a flying fedex van, funny. Anyway I fire a tazer at it, it misses but floats, so I drive closer until the tazer touches the van/plane. This brings it down. I must have drifted out of this dream as I next remembered doing some traveling on a bus with lots of people, we got off the bus and were going to the airport, then I just remember we were in a Muslim country because of their clothing, but the ground was burning ashes and people were running holding something up, there were people sat on hills of ash, then we got to what I can only describe as the end of the world, it was a sheer drop to nowhere, the sky was full of stars and milky ways of all different colors. They launched this thing off and came back. The dreams were very weird, I do remember doing several RC's but never became in control of the dream.*

Sometimes I'm too lazy to do it, but WBTB is definitely worth the trouble. Another 2 or 3 lucid dreams in a row, seperated by a few FA's so it's difficult to tell how many different dreams there were. Too bad my recall isn't any better.

Friend's house

I am at a friend's house. I don't know what tips me off, but I do a nose pince RC and realize that I can breathe. I become lucid, and work on stabilizing the dream. I also work on trying to convince my friend that this is a dream. My friend doesn't believe it. He looks into the living room next to us.

"I think I'll turn on a light in there, unless you can do it with your 'magical powers'" he says in a sarcastic tone.

I think about trying to turn the lights on just by thinking about it, but I'm not sure how. Instead, I run into the room and try a bit of anti-gravity tricks. My friend still doesn't believe me. He walks to the light switch on the wall. I run up to the wall and onto the wall like Spiderman. I climb up to the ceiling. My friend is still skeptical.

We go into the kitchen. There is a woman sitting at the table who looks like my mother. Perhaps she is my mother. Things get a bit fuzzy after this. I believe that I tried summoning Monk to try the dream avatar posession technique again, but it doesn't work too well. I also try slowly doing a 360 degree turn, examining everything around me, which I read in someone's dream journal was a good technique. This helps a little.

Back home

I wake up. Wary of FA's, I do a nose pinch RC. Things look normal around me, but to my surprise I can still breathe. I think of ways to increase dream time or stability, and notice a stopwatch next to my bed. I pick it up, and watch the hands ticking. Interestingly, they tick regularly, just like in real life. To be honest, they skip a beat now and then, but for the most part the watch ticks like normal. I remember someone's post on Dreamviews about watching a clock, and how it extended dream time. I lay in my bed, and watch the second hand.

tick-tick-tick-tick, it ticks like normal. I watch it for 30 seconds, surprised that dream clock could work so regularly. I wonder if this will increase dream time. Already it has given me a stable dream for about 30 seconds.

I get out of bed, holding the stopwatch to my ear and hearing the ticking. Whenever it stops ticking, which it does every once in a while, I point at it and say "tick" and it starts again. I keep counting the ticks trying to use this to anchor me to the dream. I concentrate on increasing the vividness and stability of the dream. On my way out the door of my bedroom, I see a hand made sign posted next to my door that says "remember to increase vividness".

I chuckle to myself and start downstairs, all the while repeating the commands "increase vividness" and "increase stability" and now and then demanding another "tick" from the watch. I run my hand along the railing to try to anchor myself. Much of this dream centers on me walking around the house trying to increase the vividness of the dream. I try summoning Monk again, once in the kitchen and once in the living room, but it doesn't seem to work. I seem to have a mental block about controlling some things in dreams, even though I know it is a dream. Still, this dream seems to last a bit longer than dreams have been for a while. Maybe it was the watch that helped.

False Awakening

I wake up. I go downstairs to the bathroom and brush my teeth. As I turn to leave the bathroom, I notice something is weird with my vision. I seem to be taller than the door, and then I notice that my head bumps against the ceiling. I think something about the possibility of a dream, but I decide to do an RC to make sure. I pick up a bottle of hand soap and try to read the ingredients. Nothing makes sense. I'm dreaming.

I leave the bathroom, and decide to go outside and have some fun. For some reason, I feel that I should be quiet going out so I don't wake everyone up. I unlock the back door, and slip out into the sunshine. I decide to try some flying, and jump into the air. I bounce around a bit on the ground, which is fun too. I realize that it helps to stabilize the dream and increase vividness by running and being active, so I run around like a mad man.

I find myself driving in a car. This is a false awakening, because I have forgotten all about the lucid dream. This may even have happened later in the morning, but I seem to feel that it happened after the last lucid part ended. I am listening to a call in talk show on the radio, and the man talking is broadcasting from near where I am driving. People are pulling over to talk to him, or else pulling into the driveway of a park off to the left to turn around. I pull into the park behind them.

I do a nose pince RC for some reason, and find that I can breathe. This is rather unexpected, and I am a bit skeptical. I pinch harder, but can still breathe. "OK kiddies," I say out loud, "if these failed RC's continue I am going to have to pull over and figure this out." I look at my digital clock, which is wrong when I'm awake anyway but is consitent. It looks OK, but when I look again it has changed, and even displays the letter "F".I'm dreaming.

I pull over, and turn off the car. Getting out, I think of what to do. I remember that staying active and moving is helpful in maintaining the dream, and also how exhillerating it felt in my other dream to bounce into the ground and splash through puddles. I jump onto the hood of my car, onto a picknick table, and into the tree above me. I remember feeling as though I had to prove this was a dream (I may have still had mental reservations), and I am a bit concerned because I'm not floating as well as usual. Gravity seems to be OK. But then I jump from the tree and launch myself into the air, and flying works decently. I aim for a few puddles, and splash into them, bouncing up into the air as though the puddles were springboards. Water does that for some reason in my dreams. Then I skim low across the ground until I wake up. Just before waking up, I remember hearing the man on the radio (or some voice) talking to someone. I can hear him saying, "you say you have nothing against Mormonism, so why are you talking about demon possession while you are talking about Mormons?"

the previous dream was wery dark, so when i was laying in my bed and deciding if i go turn the computer on, or just go back to sleep, i wanted to turn the lights on. it didn´t work, and as i was flipping the switch, my wish for light came true. i new this was a dream now. the light was beutifull, and it was falling in a completly different way than usual.i closed my eyes, changing the scene. with that, i lost my lucidity, because i was only mildly lucid.i went wandering to the places that offered free food, and tried to help my friend desining his add on a bilboard, met some agent looking guy on the way, and chewed apple bubblegum.

Lucid dream 2:

I was in this building when I suddenly became lucid. It took a moment to realize that I needed to take advantage of my lucidity, so I tried to exit the building. I kept running into doors and having to open them. I was flying so I was horizontal. I came to what I knew was the last door. I also knew it was locked before I tried to open it. And sure enough, it was. I chided myself a little because I knew it didn't have to be locked. But I didn't worry about it. I immediately started ripping through the wall beside the door. I knew I had super strength and it would be fast. And it wasn't long before I had ripped through the layers of wall and had made a hole to the outside.

But I don't think I made it outside because tha is all I remember.

Something triggered lucidity (I remember having that "aha" moment. I'm pretty sure that it was my camera), and I decided to fly. I don't remember doing anything else.

I was struggling to fly, when I realized that if I'm dreaming, I don't need to flap my arms to fly as dreamspace is not bound by earthly physics. I then told my friend who was having a picnic "Watch this Ruthy", and proceeded to take off and fly just by sheer willpower. Actually, more like ironman by directing the force through my hands.

I was becoming increasingly lucid as I skimmed across the lawn, and began to marvel at the terrain and HD quality of my surrounds. I followed a zig-zag railing along a building till I came to the end of the building overlooking a peninsula of land jutting out to the sea.

I decided that I would meditate, so sat down cross legged and waited. I presently noticed a pane of glass in front of me, and reasoned that if there is glass there must be a reflection. I became aware of my reflection, crystal clear, and realized with amazement that my eyes were huge, glowing emerald green, and my pupils were that of a tiger. I wondered what it meant and thought perhaps it was a portend of a tiger arriving. Moments later a shadow fell across the doorway, and an enormous head peered round the door. The tiger looked one way, and then the other, seemingly deciding what to do. I wasn't sure whether to be frightened, but as it looked away from me, I leaned forward and kissed it. The tiger had a bewildered look on its face, and with my lips pressed firmly against its soft fur, I started sucking. As I drew in my breath, the tiger grew thinner, and shrunk, till with a final look of shock it disappeared within me.

As I tardily regained consciousness, my chest felt like it was expanding, and continued expanding till well beyond my physical body! I had this sensation once before, when I awoke the first time after saying a mantra.

Bed 1:30am

School trip with H.

Sunday Dec.25, 2011
Bed 12:30am

I made a contract to have an LD.

Regular DR.
- I'm in a hospital setting, but I'm not sick. Big bright rooms, lot's of instruments. Kinda quiet and peaceful.
- Find some old piece of meat and something nasty falls out of it as I'm taking it to the trash can. A mean person claims I'm hiding it for myself and makes me give it to her. I tell her it's dangerous and gross. She doesn't listen.
-Something about cooking noodles and grinding pecans for it.

GM 4mg+Choline 300mg at 6:50am

DR - I spilled water on my bed, had to change the sheets. As I'm putting the comforter on, it suddenly gets heavier and heavier. That strikes me as odd (first time something strikes me as odd) and think that it must be a dream. No time to RC, because as the weight of the comforter pulls my head over the bed, I enter in "headrush" - acceleration feeling of my head racing through field of stars. I say "faster" and faster we go.

LD#10 - I end up in my parent’s bedroom, making beds. I see my auntie and I give her a hug. Her dark red pajamas with small pattern of green are very soft, as brushed cotton. I feel it to stabilize. Also touch the closet, light brown, high polish, slippery and cool to the touch. Frantically rub my hands to stabilize, but I wake up.

It's already past 8am and lots of noise outside, can't really sleep. But have a couple of visuals, I fly over a dream and although I'm not thrilled with it, I decide not to take a chance and enter it, maybe change it later. But for some reason I don't land in it.

Donut Data
I am in my car and on my way to work. I have a job at a data center at a hospital. I didn't really want to take such a position again, but I felt I had no choice since I haven't been finding a job in computer or game design. I get to work and I park in a parking garage that seems much larger than it needs to be. I realize I forgot my lunch. I work nights, so it isn't really lunch, but I know I will be hungry. I also have no money. It's ok, I think, I'll just jack someone else's lunch. No one will ever know it was me. I don't stop to consider that the other person will be hungry or that there might not be anyone else's lunch available… I go to the data center and get ready to start working. There are other people there with me, but they are not computer operators. They are going about other business. I fill out a couple of forms I need to complete before starting the nightly backup. As I fill out the forms I wonder if I am getting it wrong. The form looks different somehow… In the data center I find a box of donuts being kept warm on the exhaust vent of one of the computers. I take two donuts. An idiot comes in and starts eating donuts in the data center, dripping jelly everywhere, including in the computers. I hear jelly sizzling inside the circuits, but nothing goes wrong. I head to get the backup tapes, hoping I can get a backup of the data and get out of there before the computers take a major jelly-induced crap.


Lord of the Flies
I am in a strange place, I look around and see it looks like the interior of a volcano or something… actually the entire area is filled with volcanoes. The sky is filled with black clouds and there are actual rivers of flowing lava coming from some of the surrounding mountains. The result is that the landscape is bathed in an eerie reddish glow. Somehow the air isn't choked with smoke, though, most of that seems to stay in the upper atmosphere. Maybe kept there by wind currents? There are cloaked people around me, eleven of them to be exact, standing in a circle around me. I realize I am lying on a bed of soft grasses and hay, and the people around me are chanting. It's as if I can hear a song playing in my head… Iron Maiden's "Lord of the Flies" is clear in my mind. I feel healing energy washing over me, and I know they are trying to help me feel better, I am feeling better already… more motivated, less depressed. I relax and let them do their ritual.


I don't care for this world anymore
I just want to live my own fantasy
Faith has brought me to these shores
What was meant to be is now happening

I've found that I like this living in danger
Living on the edge it feels... it makes me feel as one
Who cares now what's right or wrong it's reality
Killing so we survive wherever we may roam
Wherever we may hide we've got to get away

I don't want existence to end
We must prepare ourselves for the elements
I just want to feel like the storm
We don't need a code of morality

I like all the mixed emotion and anger
It brings out the animal the power you can feel
And feeling so high on this much adrenalin
Excited but scared do you believe what we've become?

Saints and sinners
Something within us
We are lord of the flies

Saints and sinners
Something willing us
To be lord of the flies

Telekinesis not working

Becoming bored while lucid and deciding to go flying. Phase through living room door.

Walking down forest scene but not in control of legs.

FA where I realize that every time I wake up and get out of bed immediately is a FA.

It was around 6am, my alarm went off and I woke up. I did a reality test then dosed off again. Woke up a few seconds later, rc, dosed once again. Woke up a third time after a few seconds, did a nose pinch and guess what, I was breathing clearly, I was lucid!

So as soon as I sit up I have this very weird tingling experience, it was so strange it's hard to put into words and I saw stars at the same time. Another thing that was totally strange was that as I sat up, can clearly see this very small triangular symbol in the upper left corner of my left eye. It looked like it had very small writing inside of it, but I couldn't make it out. So I get up and I can't stop doing the nose pinch to make sure this is a dream. Then I do a poke through the hand test and it worked...somewhat it felt really strange.

I make my way through the hallway to get downstairs, and everything seems odd, distorted like a funhouse mirror effect. In addition, I feel my body moving very sluggishly, almost like I'm walking underwater. As I go down the stairs, I'm getting very excited to get outside the house to explore. When I reach the bottom, I see my mother in the kitchen...then I wake up IRL cuz I had to use the washroom.

Windhover's Dream

dream 1 - I'm in my high school(weird, the class was from my elementary school, but the kids were my friends..) My seat buddy is Katsuno. He does not speak and I dont recognize his face, as if his face is void with question mark on it... and I know that we only talk thru Facebook.(wth?) Our teacher is Amy Lee. (wtf?) idk why, but she almost looks like my mentor teacher. I get excited that Lee is going to teach us. Dont recall what she taught, then at the end of class a guy brought several Christmas gifts saying who wants them. I raise my hand and receive one gift. I open it and there is a scumbag (literally, that brown scum 'bag') I see... I laugh with bad poker face.
I walk out of school from the back door with Katsuno. I pull his arm to walk together...

dream 2 - WILD. I get up from my bed and summon spider web that attaches to Katsuno. It's first stretched thru the wall, so I open the window and follow it. But the web's attached to a big, dark, ufo-like space ship that resembles something from like Starcraft (I think). it is really detail, but I've never seen it before so I dont recall all details of it. I detach the web from my wrist, and observe the ufo. it comes down on the ground. it's not big at all; almost same as car's size.. I think it's dangerous so I transform into my dream battle character Tyon and jump on the wall, standing steadily. there's a small square mirror on the wall; I look at my aspect: my uniform is Tyon's, but my face is still me. so I turn my head and imagine Tyon's face. when I looked back at the mirror, I have a tiger's face
anyway I land on the ground and nudge the ufo. it has something like a small gate, so I open it to see what's inside. then these small digimon-like purple small monsters come out, with evil giggling. I beat them up.

dream 3 - did WILD again and summon really thick spider web, but wake up immediately.

dream 4 - I am in a house trying to rent it. the owner of the house is a small girl..

Dream 1
I'm drinking Coca Cola with friends and suddenly realise I'm dreaming because I HATE Coca Cola XD Not the brand itself, just the taste of cola. So I shout "THIS IS A DREAM!!" and wake up into Sleep Paralysis.
I realise how lucky I am, and just let it be. I hear a high-pitched giggle (HH).

Dream 2

I find out I can move again, and open my eyes. My room is all white (should be dark shades of grey), my door has no handle, it is instead attached to my wall As if that wasn't clear enough, I check my hands. I tilt my hand backwards (perspective makes my fingers look smaller), and when I tilt my hand back up, my fingers are still small XD

So I spin around (I always do this after a FA, in an attempt to summon C.), and walk out my door.. ..straight into a staircase-hall. So I follow the stairs all the way down, thinking "..what's with these stairs, anyway..". When I hit the bottom, there's a door to my left, askew, and I can see the end of a bed and clothes on it. Instead of going in (it's MY dream, after all!) I decide to just leave it be and look around. I see another door with a few steps leading to it. It's a back door and leads to a back yard that looks vaguely familiar to me. I can't put my finger on it, but I know it'll come to me later.

Suddenly I realise there's another door (it must have only just materialized..), which is the front door. I walk out of it and.. ..I'm in Woodley (just outside Reading, England), and have just walked out of the house I used to live in during my stay in England. My housemates are sitting in the front yard (which doesn't actually exist IRL). I wave at them, but I have other things to do. Like flying. I don't really know how to go about it, but remember the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In the book, Arthur learns that "flying" is simply "falling and missing the ground". So I give that a go; I flop down on my belly and stop the ground from touching me with my hands. It works, I'm floating about an inch above the pavement. I slowly straighten my arms, effectively pushing myself upward. I'm now at about eyeline-height. I start making swimming motions and swim through the air.

I pass a female DC and some male DCs, she's stopping me like those survey people on shopping streets. Slightly annoyed I go "Ugh, seriously, I have better things to do!", but she's looking worried, so I "land" anyway. Apparently she's trying to get rid of her plane ticket to New York, where she's supposed to open/announce a circus show (I'd been watching Cirque du Soleil yesterday) as the Celebrity Guest. I laugh and joke she'd have a better chance in the US, and flop to the ground again, float and swim away. I'm now kicking my feet together, like a Mermaid's tail, and I'm reaching a nice speed. I suddenly realise I failed again at summoning C., so I try again by going around corners and expecting him there. (Seriously.. just show up, dagnabbit!)

That fails over and over, but when I look behind me, the DCs are always close to me, as if they're running after me or something. I suddenly remember my little contest with Nito89 (in Matte's Competition Thread) and try to summon him. Doesn't work either, and I wake up.

I think I woke up because my REM cycle ended, since I woke up in the middle of it, I was still in SP..
This is memorable, because it's my first attempt at flying, and I'd say I've done rather well

Maybe C was in that one room with the door askew? Next time I get lucid I'll remember to check out each and every opportunity.
