    25 Aug: After the Manjushri sword

    I was dreaming something about me and Riverstone when I realized I was lucid and decided I wanted to do something with it.
    As usual, he was being a nag, not accepting that we were in a dream, so I just flew out of the window and left him behind. It was late night and pitch dark. I landed on the top of a building and I did some tricks to stabilize the LD. Found out a new way to keep myself anchored - chewing gum! The sensation of taste and texture helps stabilizing the LD and it's something you can keep doing during the entire dream.
    Once I felt anchored I used a door as a portal to the town of Denn. I landed on what looked like a fancy mall instead of the outdoors market, but every time I've been there it looked different, so I embraced it. I looked at my reflection in a mirror and adjusted my look - there I was in my black boots, black leggings, red corset, long dark hair and samurai blade.
    I looked for the weapons' stands and I found a lady selling what seemed to be tibetan buddhist knifes and swords, with vajras on the grip and beautiful turquoise ornaments. I immediately knew what I wanted, so I asked her if she had the sword of Manjushri.
    Manjushri is the wisdom Buddha, who holds in his right hand a sword with burning flames at the end of the blade. This sword is said to represent the realization of transcendent wisdom which cuts down ignorance and duality.



    She seemed apprehensive with my request and started talking very fast in a foreign language - sometimes sounded like german, other times sounded like russian. I asked her what she meant, but she didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore. She started talking to other customers and putting me aside. I was baffled.

    Then some guy pulled me over a corner and told me he knew where this sword was. He told that this sword was in the hands of some rich noble guy who got it (stole it?) for his private collection. He gave me his name and the land where he lived and then disappeared. I guess there was more about this sword going on, than I initially expected. There were different interests pulling it in different directions. This guy probably was using me to get the sword, but I wouldn't let it keep it anyway.
    I used another door as portal to this other land and landed on a beach, where people were gathered for some kind of local festivity. It was a beautiful day, but it was ruined by a water spout that formed close to the shore. It worked as a wake up call for me, as it forced me to take cover in the city and reminded me of my mission.
    I noticed when looking up at the sky, that there was a suspended bridge - almost like a suspended tunnel - over the city, high up in the clouds. It was metallic with big glass panoramic windows and branched in several directions. It was used for traveling to different parts of the town and to neighboring towns. I flew up there and looking down I tried to feel in my guts where the guy's house might be. I was amazed by the beautiful landscape below. I thought: "it looks just like a Hayao Miyazaki film" and it did! There were green fields with geometric forms, interspersed with colorful cottages of different shapes and sizes, all around the city center. When I finally tuned in to the house of the guy, I left myself fall down from the suspended tunnel through the clouds and with that I teleported myself to inside his home.
    But this time I had to be smarter. I couldn't just appear there, so I actually entered the body of his daughter, who was about to wake up in her room. She opened her eyes and I was seeing through her eyes. She was in her pajamas and I used her body to open the door and explore the rest of the house. I saw her dad ("so, this is the guy?") on the dining room drinking coffee and reading some papers. The mom was busy walking around between dining room and kitchen and said good morning to me. There was also one or two boys, probably the brothers, roaming around. I looked inside each room, trying not to look like a stranger to this house. The mother however noticed my strange behavior and I excused myself with being looking for something.
    When she left me alone I found the dad's office and saw a bunch of swords and knifes near his desk. I looked at each and every one and took some out of their cover, but none was the one I wanted. Then I was caught in flagrant by the guy, with a sword in my hand. He looked me in the eyes and he knew. He asked me "who are you? who sent you?". I tried to disguise "what do you mean, dad? it's me!". But he wouldn't buy it. Things were getting ugly and by then I had already figured out the sword wasn't there. I had found on my exploration that they had a country house somewhere else and the sword was probably hidden there. The guy was threatening me and I was loosing lucidity, so I decided this dream wasn't going anywhere anyway, so I woke up.
