A Gamer's Trip into Lucidity

20.06.2011

Out of a slump or was I just thinking too much? (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was able to chain along last night's dream pretty much through the entire morning. I'll start at the earliest point that I remember. As a side note, I use I-Doser to help me get to sleep sometimes since, like many people, I just have trouble getting there and sleeping easily. To I put on my ear-buds, laid in bed and waited for sweet sleep. The hubby kept twitching and waking me up, though so that didn't fly for very long.

The Dream starts in space. Actually in a house that was floating through space. I had Universe Sandbox on the mind since I downloaded it off of steam and was going to play it today. I remember calling up parts that I needed but I wasn't lucid. I just thought I was playing the 'videogame' despite being in the house. I also remember being a very impatient yet powerful person and at one point I was actually playing a videogame but I'll get to that. Once I was satisfied with the house, it landed in San Diego (where the hubby is from) and from there, we explored the inside of the house (there wasn't much to see) and then we hopped into the car and explored the city for a bit. I don't remember much from this part of the dream but I do remember being back at the house and having an argument with my husband. I can't remember what we were arguing about, either. But we eventually took the car up to the beach where there was this tall cliff for people to dive into the water from. The water was very deep. I was talking with one of the girls about why it's so funny when a woman screams and dives into the water when it isn't so funny when a guy dives in. I remember explaining "When a guy dives into the water, he doesn't scream or try to make an idiot of himself. When he dives in, he plays off his mistakes like it's cool. When a woman dives in, it's hilarious because she screams when she gets scared and when she comes out of the water, she's fine. So dive." And that's basically true for the way I see it. And then there were sharks flying in the sky. They were flying towards the bay in front of us and my dream mind said "There must be a water spout nearby". Next thing I know, I turn around and there it is. I freak out and run for the car.

So the next part of my dream starts. Here, we're headed back to our cabin (which is actually our house in the waking world) and we decide to relax after our horrible experience with some racing games. My friend Daniel was there (I haven't seen him in years. He's not even on the same side of the planet as me.) and at this point of the dream, I was very irate, bordering hostile. So, when the racing game started, he was being annoyed with me and the vague things I was saying (I can't remember what) and I eventually told him that I just wanted him to shut the f* up and let me watch the start of the game.

We played a few races and, for some reason, my brain told me that there was an event or party or something that we were going to be late to if we kept playing the game. Sadly, the hubby decided that he wanted to keep playing and Daniel kept picking the events. I remember losing the game horribly but I did a great job making my custom character look identical to me. I was super skinny in the game but that was the default female body. At least that's how the game justified me not being overweight in the game. (I wear my weight very well, thank you.)

When we were done, the hubby and I ran to the end of the apartment building (it changed into an apartment, apparently) and we got into the elevator. We were in the basement and we were trying to get to the 6th floor. After that, I don't remember much.
