Lucid Time!

I recall riding a school bus and there was a terrorist guy with a gun outside who stopped us and the bus driver was trying to defend everyone on-board.

I remember some dream about hugging this log and flying through this beautiful forest of gigantic old oak trees. I was semi-lucid and I was thinking about how by hugging the log I was showing an affection and appreciation for nature and in return it would grant me the power of flight. The log started to carry me too high and I was worried I might not find a way to get back down.

The next thing I knew, I was fully lucid. I was sitting in a booth at an Italian restaurant with Manei. It was nighttime. I recognized the restaurant as one that I have dreamed about for the past two nights.

"You came back! I was waiting! Wait long time for you!"

"Yes, I found a reason to return... But where are we? I didn't make this place, at least not consciously."

"Because I make it for us!..."

She went on for a minute about me not being around and wanting me to come back to lucid dreaming while I was distracted with things like school, playing video games, etc. I told her how she must accept that I will not lucid dream every night, as much as I would like to.

"But sleep every night, so why not lucid dream every night? That was goal, is it not still?"

"Yes, that is still a goal of mine. Just it's a big goal and sometimes I need a break from chasing it."

"Just make promise, okay. Do not give it up. Stop and rest if need to. Take step back if need to. But do not give up."

"Wasn't planning on it..."

"Pinky promise?"

"Seriously?! alright..." *le pinky promise*

There was a pause in the discussion, or a bit that I forgot. We were walking out of the restaurant. I remembered something I wanted to ask her.

"My friend S, he merged with one of his guides and now he becomes lucid every night. Is it possible that I could do the same with you?"

"No. It is too late for us to do that, and we cannot. His journey different from ours. Besides, we have already forged powerful partnership. We can attain same level of power as him, if not more. Take my hand."

I take her hand. I feel the heat/energy coming off of her and it burns a little at first, but I've gotten more used to it as time has gone on. After a few seconds it evens out into a steady flow going up my arm into my body. I look down and see for a few seconds a bunch of little orange energy arrows going down her arm and up mine.

"Now, your turn. Take other hand."

I take her other hand. I don't even have to do or think anything. Blue arrows start flowing into her. She tenses up for a second, like she is getting a similar sensation to what I have been getting.

"There. Very good. Two act as one. Not dreamer. Not dream guide. Two parts of same whole. Think like your Yin-Yang."

The dream shifts from the outside of the restaurant to my college campus for a second. Then we are standing on the surface of a still lake under the stars. The dream stops when we are in a wheat field. There are some trees in the distance and a huge gas planet with rings in the sky. I can see the stars and bands of galaxies, even in the daytime sky.

"Now kiss me!"

" ... Fine."

We go into kiss and it lasts for a few seconds but I have a false awakening and I am in bed kissing my cat.

"Yuck! I knew the dream was going to do something gross like that! Sorry, Alana (my cat's name) I was having a lucid dream and I thought you were someone else..."

I woke up for real a few moments later. Consider that the last time I kiss a DC.
