In this case, "fail" definitely equaled "fun"! I went to bed at like 1:45am, thinking I had stayed up too late and ruined my chance at a lucid. But I did my usual WBTB at 6:45am and went back to sleep at about 7:30am. I felt oddly less tired than I thought I should have, so maybe that's why.
Anyway, I woke and fell back to sleep a couple more times, and around 9am or so, I woke up and felt the vibrations. It's been a while since I had a nice seamless WILD transition, so I was happy that I went straight into a lucid on the first cycle of vibrationsI opened my eyes into the usual overly dark bedroom scene, and my eyes blinked on and off. I eventually could see fine, and so I got up out of bed, but I was entangled in blankets again. I just stayed calm, and kept getting up and moving toward the bedroom door. I left the room, and thought about the celebrity chef task. I went into the living room and saw a man that could easily have been Tyler Florence. I said "Tyler?" But he ignored me. "Hello, Tyler? Tyler Florence??!!" But he just kept looking in pantries and drawers, like he was focused on getting used to my kitchen. I should have been patient, because he might have still cooked something. But I wanted more attention
So I said screw it and got on the floor to try the purgatory task again. I stuck my face on the floor, but it was hard and cold. I tried another area of the floor, and it went through just fine. Like the last time, a column of floor and earth broke away, revealing a fiery depth. I yelled something into the tunnel, forgot what it was. I was having more fun than focusing on actually accomplishing the task. I yelled something twice, and both times a hell hound appeared at the bottom and jumped up through the tunnel, trying to get me. But as soon as they reached the summit, they vaporized. I considered going into the tunnel.. maybe there would be levels and I could find purgatory. I stuck my head in really far, and I felt this sensation, like a force gently pulling me. I think I could have really shot through that tunnel had I let myself, but I pussed out again and woke up lol.
I went back to sleep and ended up in a non lucid where I was in my parent's livingroom. I don't remember what I was doing, but it wasn't long before I remembered that I was JUST in my bed moments before, so I'm dreaming! I don't know why, but I didn't feel like a TOTM. So I just walked out the front door. It was early morning outside, like 8am, with a cool sparkly autumn sun and long shadows. Everything was still green, and the lawn glittered with dew and looked like emeralds. My favorite time to go for a walk. Things were pretty vivid, so I just felt like going with it. I walked in the wet grass, barefoot, and I remember now that all I had on was a t-shirt and underwear. I didn't care, it was cool out, but not too cold. Plus I knew it was a dream anywayI felt like flying a bit, so I flew around the trees in low figure 8s. Then I walked some more, then flew some more. I flew up into a tall tree and landed in the nook between 2 branches. A neighbor's dog, Leah, a white great dane, came up to the tree, jumping and barking as if she didn't recognize me. Dumb dream dogs are dumb. I looked around at the beautiful 2 acres that my parent's house is on, lamenting the fact that I'll really miss this place. Because they're selling it in real life. After what felt like many many minutes of walking and flying, I woke up.
