DILD + DEILD

The dream started during a gym class at my old church gymnasium. We were playing basketball and there were a bunch of games going on concurrently. My team is doing well. I am contributing more than my real life white-ass self would. We are up by 4 and the ball gets thrown out of bounds to some people who are watching another game. Mattie catches it and gives it right back to the other team for a break away. I thought that was bogus, but I had confidence that we would win. There are a few seconds left and we call a time out. I practice lay ups off the backboard during the TO. None of them go in. The play starts back up and I am in the middle. They have some weird zone where there are 2 people vertically in the paint and 3 spread around the outside. I am the only one in the middle so the two people switch off on me. I duck out to the corner so the outside guy has to cover me. I dip right back in and they don't switch back. I get the ball with a lay up chance. Because I missed like 5 during the TO, I pull up for a 3 ft. jumper. It goes in and we are now up 4 and the game is clinched.

As the game ends, everyone is gathering by the door. I am shaking hands with some people we played with. Iman (guy from my high school class who now plays on the knicks) is there and doing some trick dunks. He runs up to the hoop and jumps completely on top of it! He stands on the rim for a second and comes back down. He does this like 4 more times. I try to text Will to tell him what is going on, but I am struggling with my phone. Will then happens to show up and we head downstairs together. There is a table of cookies for some other people and I snatch a white chocolate one. It is big, fairly soft, and delicious. Will heads back to grab another and I head outside alone.

I become lucid and look around. To the left there are two towers, and one is a giant yellow water slide. That seems like fun. I fly over to it and land on the ground. There is no water running. I fly to the top and go down anyway. It is really dusty and has like a 20 ft. drop onto the ground. It was still pretty cool. I turn back the way I came and start flying. I have good horizontal momentum so I fly really low to the ground. I am a few feet above the ground and cruising. Eventually I land in the grass on my stomach and it all goes black.

I focus on the tactile sensation of the grass on my face and I stay in the dream. I regain vision and take off again. To get speed, it feels like I am drawing the world under me more than actually accelerating. I still have trouble turning so I land and walk around a corner. There is a giant field with some frosty mountains in the distance. I want to go to a city. Looking for a way to teleport, I see a small crate door next to me. I go inside and try to imagine hearing city noises outside. I end up in the same place. Things go dark again and I wake up.

I am back in the field, and I decide I want to go to the frozen tundra ahead. I try teleporting again by spinning. At first I spin like 5 times and try to blur my vision while imagine seeing white. This didn't work. I also tried one quick spin and that failed. Finally, I just take off and fly over there.

I land in an area with a bunch of boulders randomly laying around. There is another LDer, and he is helping this one bird escape another predatory bird. The predator looks like an osprey. I join in and try to help. Eventually I grab the smaller bird and run inside this stable-like building. The bird at some point becomes one of those flat, native american drums in my hand. It has dangling beads like those toys you spin in your hands to beat a small drum. The building is full of small, enclosed areas that have sliding wooden doors. I run into one and quickly run back out, closing the door behind me. This confuses the osprey for a moment and gives me some time.

I get on top of the small enclosures and keep running. The other LDer tells me to fly out of here. I respond, "I can't fly inside!" I hop across each enclosure and make it back to the front door. I look to the sky and take off. Now the bird/drum has become a diet coke can . The other LDer tells me I need to let him release his ice power (or something like that). As his says this, I feel an energy come from the can. It is now pulling me in the air and I get tremendous speed before instantly stopping. I hover and turn around, aiming the can back at the building. A giant energy blast goes off and eliminates any danger.
