Kitties

- I was standing in the bathroom in my house, and something weird happened, so I did a nose plug RC. It failed and I became lucid. I tried to walk through the wall to get into the hallway, but it didn't work, so I opened the door and walked out. My house looked a bit different. I threw myself at the stairs, trying to fly down for fun, but ended up just falling and slamming into the door at the bottom in slow motion. I stood up and saw my mom and my aunt sitting in the living room, then went in the kitchen and saw my cousin sitting on the floor in a pink outfit, except she was younger, maybe 3 or 4. I...wasn't very lucid yet at this point, and I just sort of kicked her out of the way lol, and she started crying. I went into the living room and guiltily said, "I accidentally hurt her..." and my mom was just like, "oh yeah don't worry, it happens, I do it all the time". I RCed again to be sure, then continued on.

I went into my back yard, but suddenly got self-conscious because for some reason I thought the people I saw outside were there IWL and would see me. I imagined myself going outside when I woke up and asking them if they'd just seen me. A girl in my class who lives near me, LM, was in the yard next door.

The dream suddenly faded and I woke up; I don't know whether I was really awake or not, but I think I was. I moved my arm, then realized that was a bad idea and moved it back. I tried to re-enter the dream, and succeeded after a few seconds. I sat up in bed, did an RC, and stood up. My vision suddenly disappeared, but I forced my eyes open with my hands and it came back. I counted the fingers on one of my hands a few times, and got six each time. Then I went back out into the yard, more lucid this time. I actually managed to walk right through the wall this time, and felt kind of proud when I got through.

Once I was out there, I decided to try some verbal commands. I yelled for the dream to stabilize, and it did make a slight difference. It felt pretty stable. I recalled a post I'd read on DV and yelled, "show me something amazing!" After a few seconds, the colours of the dream started to flicker, then everything was suddenly a rose pink, with a soft round black border at the edges of my vision. I said out loud, "okay, turn it off now, I don't want to see the world through an Instagram filter." xD The colours returned to normal.

I noticed there were a bunch of big, cool birds around the yard. They were probably about 3 or 4 times the size of a pigeon, but with a small pigeon's head and face. Their feathers were really fluffy, some of them were black, and some were blue. I went up to a group of them and said "Oh my god hi, can I touch you?" I reached out towards one of them, but it just made a really pretty cooing noise and shied away from my hand, so I didn't touch it.

I wanted to try and meet someone in my dream, and decided I'd try and go find N. Without even really thinking about how to fly, I started flapping my hands a bit to rise into the air, then started swimming in the air to move. I tried different strokes and stuff to see if I could go faster. It wasn't super fast, but I was okay with it. I started trying to convince myself that N had moved into a house down the street. I flew into the street, but got tangled in the telephone wires, and had to go higher. I reached a house less than a minute away from mine (which really exists) and went inside.

Inside, to the right of the entrance, there was a blueish porch with someone in it. Straight ahead, the rest of the house was very warm looking, with dark reddish wood and yellow-orange walls. Most of the house was risen maybe 1.5 feet above the small area I was standing in, with a tall step to get to it. The main room was pretty empty, and I saw a doorway to what looked like the kitchen in the far right corner. Two very old women came out of it who looked like twins, both dressed in yellow and with long fluffy white hair. I thought to myself that I 'wouldn't be able to find N in here because I knew in my heart it wasn't true', so I left.

Once outside, I rose into the air again and concentrated as hard as I possibly could on the fact that he would be just around the corner a couple blocks down. I started off slowly flying down the street, but sped up as I got to the corner. The thought actually took a lot of energy, but as I rounded the corner, I saw N approaching on a black skateboard. He was wearing a black jacket with red designs on the front and black pants. His eyes widened and he smiled at me, but didn't say anything. I touched down and walked over, then started saying something about how I was pretty sure I was dreaming. I counted the fingers on one hand and there were eight. I gave him a hug, and tried to concentrate on keeping the dream as well, but I felt like my eyes were closing. I could still feel it, but everything faded to black. This lasted for a few seconds.

I 'woke up' into a short FA where I took a notepad and pencil out of my purse and was about to write the dream down, but then woke up for real.


- I also had a short dream earlier, after being awakened by the phone ringing and someone leaving a weird message. I dreamt that I checked the phone to see who it was, and saw a bunch of calls from 'DEBT COLLECTOR' or something similar. I asked my mom about it, and she said, "oh yeah, that's the money I still owe from when I went on a scuba diving trip to make friends with the oysters."
