    The LongLong Lucid: LD #55

    I can't really remember the first portion of the dream where I actually attained lucidity, but it was outside of my own home. My recall of what happened improves as I went on. The neighborhood looked dark, nighttime-ish where the sun was just starting to come up.
    The first thing I can recall was running into another male dream character who wanted to do something called "dream phasing." He looked to be about my age, but was taller than me with curly hair. I had some idea of what that meant, it meant he wanted to change layers in a dream somehow. (Layers in a dream being like in inception where you are asleep and dreaming within a dream.) I was going to journey to the soccer field outside my old middle school to try and build my dream base. I don't know why I'm still fixated on this project.
    It was also at this time that I thought about "dream time" and how long a second is in the real world compared to a second of dream time. I thought about doing an experiment where I would breathe out heavily twice, one second apart. But then I remembered that nobody was watching me in bed. I was telling the other dream character all of this. He didn't seem very bright.
    He followed me for some time, and we talked. I can't remember about what, after the whole dream sharing thing. I told him that when we got to the soccer field I would help him dream phase (whatever that really meant, he never did really tell me.) before I started work on my base.
    He followed me until we got to the intersection between my street and another in the neighborhood. We stopped walking under the lamppost. He started arguing with me that the correct direction to go for dream phasing was left. I was still going to the school that was to the right. He split up with me.
    After another minute of walking, I arrived at the school. Because it was nighttime, the dream was very dark. Dark=Not vivid. I wanted it to be more vivid, so I used a voice command. "Sundial" I think it was. From there, I was able to grab hold of the sun with my outstretched arm and move it to a different position higher in the sky using a sort of telekinesis thing. I can remember there being several moons or other planets in the sky nearby the sun. I looked at them and noticed that the lighting looked wrong on them, the wrong sides of the planets/moons were illuminated. I wanted to fix it, but I decided to focus on the task at hand. I may have also done some other stabilization type things.
    The area around my middle school was noticeably different than it was in RL. There was a picnic table and a small playground set up on the eastern side, with a fence preventing me going any further than the westernmost wall of the building. There were about 8 or 10 dream characters in the scene, most of them were adults. I didn't want to tell them that I knew I was dreaming, for that may provoke hostility. (Have you read LD#30?)
    One more thing that was different about the school, there was this mcdonalds sort of drive-through built into the eastern side.


    Now I must have lost lucidity for part of the dream, because for some reason, I recall these portions of the dream being nonlucid. There was a small swimming pool in the area that I was in, (From what I recall, the swimming pool wasn't there for a vast majority of the dream. I think it just appeared for this scene and disappeared when it was over.) with a couple of dream characters. I think S appeared around this time, but I can't remember.
    In fact, there was a family here, and they had a couple of dogs. S was talking with the parents in the family about something stupid. and I don't remember what their kids were doing. But their dogs were the really clingy licking type. They had a whole bunch, three of them, and they were big.
    They started licking me and jumping up on me, and caused me to fall into the swimming pool. I actually let myself fall in because I wanted to do this sort of passive-aggressive thing and teach the people that S was talking to to control their dogs.
    But then, I was laying on the bottom of the pool, and I noticed that I felt my phone in my pocket.

    Then there was this thing about me going to the McDonalds drive-through. Other people were going through driving cars. I just walked along the road as if I were a car. But when I came along, the workers from the (I'm assuming it WAS a McDonalds) rolled out a bunch of tall aluminum shelves with food and garbage on them. Something else happened, something pertaining to food, but I can't remember.
    I do remember something to do with this eggplant-type fruit that was supposed to be some strange breed of apple. A worker was saying this was the last one that wasn't either rotten or sold, and they were going to have to hope that they didn't sell any between this time and when the next shipment arrived.
    I think the existence of the McDonalds had something to do with the fact that the east side of my school is the cafeteria. So the idea was that the McDonalds served the cafeteria food during the day and fast food to people who used the drive-through at any other time.


    But I really start recalling things after these non-lucid fragments. S was still there, and I told him I was going to stabilize the dream. I shouted "clarity" twice and stomped my foot onto the ground. When I did, a wave of clarity shot out from around me. It was very weird the way it spread into the buildings and trees around me. When I did it, I also felt the shock of my leg hitting the ground. That helped to stabilize the dream some.
    I looked at an empty patch of grass and started.
    Me:"Okay, now create a concrete circle."
    Nothing happened.
    Me:"Create a concrete circle."
    S:"Maybe we should try a different location."
    We moved down from the grass into a sand gully type thing. (The sand gully isn't there in RL) I tried my dream control again, but nothing worked.
    S:"Maybe we can try drawing your base first."
    I walked down into the gully, and when I did, I noticed a marker floating about four feet in the air. It looked like a sharpee and was sort of this color. Maybe a little lighter.
    We moved into the woods almost and sat at the bottom end of the sandy gully. I took the marker and started drawing an oval in the sand. The tip of the marker broke off. I woke up.

      That experiment that you never tried out, you know the one where you would breath heavily one second apart. I would really like that tested out because scientists just have estimates.

      I heard about that experiment the day before on a youtube channel called "Gizedwards". He was the one who taught me the most about lucid dreaming, and he talked about "dream time" and how equal dream time is to real time, and said experiment.
