Hyu's Adventures

non dream - lucid - non lucid

I'm at university. The classes have just ended and I'm leaving the classroom, planning on going home.
I ponder about what to make for dinner as I walk down the hallway.
The hallway ends at some point and you have to go right into the next hallway in order to keep going.
As I look up I see the end of the hallway, the red wall which I see every time I leave the university, but this time, it is very different.
There is a message written on the red wall. It's written in white paint, as if someone had painted it with their fingers onto the wall.
It looks a bit sloppy yet elegant in some way:

"You are one of the chosen"

I immediately become fully lucid.
Someone wrote me this message a few days ago in waking life. I found it mysterious at the time,
but it appearing in my dreams must mean it had a stronger impact on me than I initially thought.
I don't bother to RC or perform any stabilization techniques.
I feel like there is absolutely no need to, but more importantly, I'm rather preoccupied with something else:

I suddenly "remember" how to open a portal to other places.
The memory came very sudden and without context. It's a memory from childhood dreams.
I can clearly remember how to open the portal, like if I had done it 100 times, but I cannot remember one single situation where I actually did open one.
I feel that there is an immense amount of other memories where that one came from, but I'm unable to access them.

I consider the possibility that it could be a false memory. I've started reading WakingNomad's DJ: http://www.dreamviews.com/f107/nomad-chronicles-82576/
Maybe that's where the idea comes from?
No. I'm entirely convinced this is my own memory, and it is real.

I'll create a portal!
I start drawing a circle with my right index and middle finger in front of the red wall.
I begin at the 6 o' clock position and move clockwise.
I know I could do this a whole lot faster, but I want to feel and experience every single detail of it.
I also remember that this is not the way I used to travel, I had a more effective way.
Where do these memories come from? Are they really from childhood dreams? The memories are so real...

As I reach the starting position again the image in front of me distorts slightly, like touching the surface of still water.
Right now the portal is useless, I haven't created the exit point yet.
Before I do that, I decide to verify how well I'm doing. (This is why)
I'm nearly fully healed, my aura is quite smooth again, though I still feel like I'm lacking a lot of energy.

I choose the first thing that comes to my mind as an exit point for the portal. It's a place in Italy, on top of a mountain, it has an amazing view.
I give the portal a slight nudge with my right middle finger. It opens.
It looks like it leads straight into a void. But I remember that's what portals look like.
I feel excited to go through the portal. It feels like there are dangers associated with it, but I also feel that it is safe for me.
I step through...


... I fall out of the portal and it closes behind me. Something just happened but I can't recall it.
I look around. The portal worked, I'm exactly where I wanted to be. The view is amazing, and I really enjoy the fresh breeze of air on top of the mountain.
I feel very good, I just achieved something big, though I don't know what it is.
I make a mental note to investigate my childhood dream memories in the future, though I don't know how. Something is hidden in there, something important.
I remember that I need to look for "her" as well.

Well of course! I can just open a portal to her.
I remember that finding her aura requires a lot of energy, I may not have enough and it feels dangerous toying with it in my current situation.
I should wait until my energy is fully recovered.
But... I don't actually need to find her. I suddenly realize I know where she is!
She's on the planet where she taught me how to walk on water.
I want to open a portal but I suddenly realize the place is too far away, I don't have enough energy, at least not right now.
The planet is in the Andromeda galaxy... it is very far away.

Somehow I feel like all of this is supposed to happen.
Maybe she hasn't shown up recently because she knows I'd remember how to open a portal and find her?
The dream slowly fades away, I make no attempt to stabilize it.
