Nivv's lucid dreams

28th June 2012

I am lying in bed thinking about dreaming and false awakenings. I think about how I should have done an RC in a dream I just had. I'm pretty convinced I'm not dreaming now as there's no reason I should be, but nonetheless I figure I might as well do an RC. I'm mildly surprised to find that some air still goes into my lungs despite the fact I'm plugging my nose, so I pinch it harder. It still happens. I get lucid, and the dream begins to destabilise so I calm myself, focus on my surroundings and rub my hands together. I demand "greater clarity" but that doesn't work. I manage to stabilise it and head straight out the window.

I fly to a beach nearby. It's daytime seemingly but it's somewhat dark still and the moon can be seen, somewhat obscured by the clouds. As I fly, I notice the very realistic and wonderful feeling of the wind. I attempt to think about a place I'd like to be but it gets confusing and I don't really make much of a difference. Instead, I fly towards a town, beyond which there is the sea, beautifully blue. I then decide to take my LDing a step further and summon something. Naturally, I decide upon summoning the character Rainbow Dash from MLP (huzzah!). I look up to the sky and shout something along the lines of "come on Dash!". I had already decided how I was going to summon DCs IRL. For Rainbow Dash I figured I would call and she would pop out of the clouds and come down to meet me. As expected, something small and flying comes out of one of the large stratocumulus clouds in the sky. As I get a better look at it, it does indeed turn out to be a small blue pegasus, and she comes down to meet me. I'm slightly worried about getting her look correct in my mind, but when she is with me I find it quite accurate, albeit not perfect. I give her a hug and we fly onwards towards the sea.

At one point we have to go over the edge of a cliff and so I fly downwards towards the sea. I look behind but I can't see Dash, so I go up and find her again, and sure enough she's there. I peer up at the sky and wonder whether to fly to the moon or into space, but then it occurs to me that I'd quite like to go and play some tennis at Wimbledon as a pro. We're in a covered area of some sort in the town and I wonder where I might find a mirror or a cupboard to step through to get to the tennis arena. On one side of the covered area, however, is an archway. I decide that Wimbledon is through there. I talk to a DC near me and tell them that I'm going to Wimbledon through that arch.

Sure enough, I go through and find myself in a place where lots of cheering can be heard. An unidentified DC tells me that Federer is playing. I decide that he would probably be too much of a challenge, even for my dream self, and I wouldn't want to beat Federer anyway as I support him a lot. I decide another player will be there, waiting for me to appear. I have a tower around my neck, and have to head up a spiraling passageway to get to the court above.

I arrive amid the cheers of the crows, and I can hear the commentators somehow. He refers to me as an unknown, although I secretly know I'm going to be a legend on the court. I start to hit a few balls back and forth with my opponent, who is a bald guy not unlike the player Davydenko. At one point, however, he goes to the back of the court and starts using a medical device to aid with breathing, which stops the game. I'm worried about my opponent and head over to him. The commentators say how strange this is, and suggest my opponent is using it to delay the match. I put my hands out, questioning what's going on, as the medical people arrive at the scene. I start to think about playing someone else, but then find myself awake.
