Last night was awesome.

I woke up sometime last night and tried WILDing. After a while, I really didn't think anything had happened so I opened my eyes. I noticed everything had a blue tint to it, like the sun was blue, or something. I did the nose pinch RC and confirmed that I was dreaming . I got out of bed, walked across my room to the door, and walked through it. It felt like I was walking through Jello, which was pretty cool! My sister was in the hallway and saw the whole thing. She stared at me for a second then said, "...What just happened..." after which I explained to her that I was dreaming so I could do anything I wanted to. She accepted this explanation happily, and walked back into her room. I ran downstairs and tried my hand at summoning, as I did across all but the last LD (it's one of my primary goals), but apparently I suck at it because the farthest I got was being able to feel the object... I couldn't see it, but it was "there".

About this time, I woke up. My eyes were closed, but I could hear my fan spinning so I knew I was awake (my fan makes no sound in my dreams. Actually, I'm not even sure it exists in them, ha).

I focused on the last dream for a few seconds and eventually I entered back into it, still standing in the same place. I walked down the hallway and tried (and failed!) to walk through the front door. I go outside like a normal person and look around. I see the same goblin-esque person from my first LD standing next to a tree, but I don't bother him. I failed once again to summon something, trying all the methods I could remember and one I made up on the spot (I used Google to look up an image of the object, then tried to pull it from the web page).

I wake up again, eyes still closed. I figure that if I did it once, I can do it again, and I was right.

This time, I didn't even bother trying to summon anything. I decided to act like a maniac throughout the dream . I tried to jump through my bedroom window and failed, so I opened the window, broke down the screen and crawled out onto my roof. I get a running-start and jump off the roof. I go a good 50 ft forward and land in my back yard. I noticed that the yard was missing the fence, and my two dogs were running around freely. There is an old computer terminal (think ww2 era missile launch control panel) that grabs my attention. It is powered on, but there is nothing written on the screen. I tried a bunch of "commands," all of which seemed to work perfectly. "Brightness 70%" instantly "dimmed the sun," which I thought was pretty neat. I noticed a red button which I just -had to- push. Of course, all it did was wake me up!

This morning after everything was over, I realized that I also had a false awakening earlier that night. If I could just remember to RC every time I wake up, I could have had a 4th LD!

The dream starts out with me and my family sitting on our front porch watching a house down the street burn down. Since that house actually did burn a couple years ago and was rebuilt, my reaction was "Cool, I get to watch it burn again." xD

The flames eventually caught the next house over on fire. We watched the people living there run around trying to grab anything important before it burned. As I was watching this, I noticed an orange light coming from behind me -- my house was on fire now.

We only had enough time to grab one item we wanted to save before we had to get out. Everyone grabbed an item and a cat (we have too many cats ) and ran out the door. Turning around, all I can say is, "Damn arsonists."
