LiveInTheDream's DJ v2.5

Well, that was a frustrating lucid dream! I tried my RC-MILD method again, and it worked like a charm, but I guess having not been lucid in a while made me forget a few details about dream control...

I was at a huge party; people were everywhere, and the place was crowded despite the fact that we were in a mansion. It wasn't long before I simply said: "I'm in a dream!" and then just from looking around me found it to be true. Unfortunately, I didn't take time to do a nose-plug RC, so I never was quite as 'there' as usual. But I did remember my dream goal: to share a dream with a friend by utilizing the dream room from a previous lucid.

I tried to leave the main party room so I could find a door that would lead me where I needed to go. However, on my way out, a DC tugged on my arm.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"I'm lucid now, I have to leave." I replied.

"What? You can't leave now!"

"Yes, I can. Let go of me."

"No! You're staying right here!"

"Alright then, VANISH!"

As I shouted that last word, the DC faded away into nothingness and the grip on my arm disappeared with it. "Problem solved," I thought. But after going no more than two steps closer to the end of the room, another DC cried out.

"He killed him! He killed him! I saw it!" A woman screamed, breaking out of the crowd and running towards me.

"Quiet down! It's just a dream, you idiot! He never existed! Do you want to get this whole place in an uproar?"

"Yes!" She replied before starting to scream.

"Ok, enough of this. You can just vanish, too!"

And she did. But this time I had the attention of everyone else, and they all thought I was a killer. The party music stopped, people put down their drinks and food, and slowly advanced towards me.

"I don't have time for this..."

My next thought was to try flying. I made it up to the ceiling and about half-way through, but for some reason at that point I was sucked back down in and I couldn't push through anything. I was also distracted enough that I fell about fifty feet to the ground. Of course it didn't hurt, but it further convinced everyone else that I was demon possessed or something. So I ran, then, going from room to room, just looking for a door, without success. Hundreds of DC's were always in hot pursuit.

Eventually I came across a staircase, so I jumped down and found myself in a cement basement. There was an alcove not far away, so I teleported myself there to throw off my pursuers and then peeked around the corner to see if it worked. It had. They were all gathered around the spot I had teleported from, scratching their heads and wondering where I could have gone.

I slowly backed down the alcove, hoping to find something I could hide beneath until the DC's gave up. Instead, I bumped into something on the wall. When I turned around to see what it was, I saw a door staring me in the face!

"Finally!"

The DC's heads all snapped in my direction when they heard me say that.

"Get him! Quick!"

"When I open this door," I frantically commanded, "the dream room will be on the other side!"

I threw the door open, DC's just feet away, and then slammed it shut behind me just before they could get to where I was. I locked the door and then turned around. I wasn't in the dream room, for sure. I was in some vast darkness...and then, there was this light. And I realized it was the light from the window...and I had woken up

At least I scored another point for RC-MILD...
