NON-LUCID / LUCID / NOTE

My house seems empty, but I can sense the presence of others. I am aware that a game is taking place in which the last man standing is the winner. To eliminate other players, one must engage in a wrestling match and win or throw a crumpled up paper towel and hit an opposing player in a dodgeball-like style. I step out of my room and narrowly avoid a crumpled paper towel. It whizzes past me and down the hallway. I spot a player who is a student at my school who I believe to be a wrestler. I don't know how to wrestle but we begin pushing one another. I run to the kitchen and crumple up a paper towel and I pelt it at his leg and it's a hit. I shake his hand and he departs in a sportsmanlike manner. I become aware that I am one of the last few players remaining. I run downstairs and spot a small hill of crumpled paper towels. I dive into the room while simultaneously grabbing two armfuls of paper towels that I hurl at a group of remaining players who seem to have formed an alliance. I eliminate all but one who is an old friend of mine. We look at each other and smile. I feel confident that I'll win as we shuffle around the room and avoid thrown towels. I finally hit him and win the game. I feel very pleased with my performance and the next thing I know I am outside and aware that I am dreaming. The exact moment when I gained lucidity is unknown, which is quite unusual for me because I often become lucid by RCing or just realizing that I'm dreaming. I cannot recall the precise moment. I begin walking down my street, which is how I begin most of my lucid dreams. My vision is blurred and highly shaky, and I can only make out the gray street and some trees beside me. I stop for a moment in an attempt to stabilize the dream. Things come into focus and a few dream characters appear in front of me. This is also unusual, as I am often alone in my LDs. One character is D, the old friend. Another is J, a girl from my school who I had a crush on a couple years ago. One or two other characters are there as well, and they are ready to take flight. D grabs onto me and J grabs onto D as I lift off from the ground. The other two characters fly independently of me and each other. We fly down streets as I follow the others and D and J are unable to hold on. I stop flying and tell them to hold on tight for the turns. They listen, and I am happy for them to be holding on and experiencing this flight with me. I then test my control and I am able to gain speed and slow down rather well. I then decide to turn on warp speed and leave the other two flyers behind. I am gliding at an insane speed down another street. I live in the suburbs and I take note at how beautiful and realistic the houses appear. I then think to myself how this is all my creation and I promptly wipe out and wake up.

NON-LUCID / LUCID / NOTE

I am outside of my friend's home, which is surrounded by various foliage overlooking a river. This is not how his house or lawn appears in reality, but I somehow know it is his home. My friend, T, is some yards away from me and his mom throws T and myself a lighter. I take out a cigarette and begin to smoke. I don't smoke cigarettes, and I feel somewhat guilty for doing this. The next thing I can remember is being inside the house and in the basement. Again, the environment doesn't look anything like it does in waking life, but it feels familiar as if I'd been there many times before. My field of vision now looks as if I am looking into a microscope at a germinating Cannabis seed. A small growth is protruding from the seed, and I am quite excited and perplexed as to what I am seeing. I somehow believe this plant to be mine and the next thing I can remember is being in my room on a very sunny afternoon. The sunlight is pouring into my room and two Cannabis plants are sitting on my windowsill. They are growing very quickly before my eyes and the sun is moving rapidly throughout the sky, and I am quickly adjusting the plants so they are receiving sunlight. They continue to grow larger and larger and I begin to feel somewhat overwhelmed. Then, S appears in my room to take one of the plants. I somehow know that one is Cannabis Sativa and one is Cannabis Indica. I give him Indica and he leaves my room. I begin to feel paranoid due to the presence of an illegal plant in my room, so I take it outside and that concludes my recollection of this dream.
