Images In The Night

I've been trying to get back into lucid dreaming again. I keep trying but usually I get distracted. This time it seems to have paid off somewhat though.

I woke up from my bed. As I always do I did a RC. This time it worked though and as I pinched my nose I could still breath. For some reason it was so realistic I thought I was just deluded and kept trying. The dreams was so vivid I thought I was awake. So I tried testing it in another way. I went to read a book I knew about but never read myself called Pendragon. I opened it up and saw pictures and not too much writing. I knew the books had no or very little pictures. That was enough for me to realize I was dreaming. I just looked around the room for a minute. Just kind of taking in how real it all looked. I thought outside the dream to see if I understood what day it was and where I was sleeping. I understood where I was sleeping, but my mind was blank on the date. I walked over to my computer desk and saw a bottle of coke. Now I've always liked testing food and drinks in dreams so I downed it. It was spot on in terms of flavor. Then I shoved an oatmeal cream pie in my face. Delicious as well, but I felt slightly sick but I generally do after oatmeal cream pies. After that I got kind of bored and started walking outside but my dad saw me and asked what I was doing. The way he talked and what he said were so realistic I did another RC. I was dreaming but still treated as if it were real life saying I'm just walking out for a minute. Outside I just thought about the absurdity of how realistic the dream was and how I would like dreams to be slightly less realistic in the future. Then I started brutally murdering everyone I could find. The end.

Me and 2 buddies are riding in large trucks down a road in a forest. A small clearing comes up on our left and a smaller one on the right. The truck in front of us with 1 of our friends pulls of on left. Me and my other friend drive left a little ways into the clearing. I guess we were gathering food of some kind. Probably berries fruit. Anyway at this time I realize aliens have invaded earth at an earlier point and we are on the run. Cause you know, you can just forget things like that. My friend and I hear a noise and look towards the road we can come from to see this large orange glowing energy moving along the ground. Our other friend across the way didn't see him until it was too late and was absorbed into it. I hit the deck and pull my friend down whos screaming at the alien for killing his friend. I try to muffle him but to no avail. They see us and send strange looking dogs to chase us down. My friend hands me his gun and I run off into the woods nearby. My friend either dies or gets absorbed, but I never see anything. I only hear him screaming. I ran deeper and deeper into the woods but the dogs were catching up. I try to shoot the gun but the trigger is difficult. I have to pull it all the way back and it gets difficult. I shoot 3 of the 4 dogs after me while I'm running and as the last one catches up to me the dream fades. So it was kinda cool.
