I continue down the stone walkway, and to the front of a two story gray stone building. I understand that I need to enter to attend some sort of committe meeting with several other people. I approach the front area, and am standing between two brick pillars in the front when something feels strange. I see a DC cross the path and noseplug. I become lucid. The vividness of the dream becomes very very high, and is close to waking life. My awareness becomes very high as well. I clap very hard twice and hear the sound reverberate throughout the dreamscape. I shout 'stabilize' right after in a commanding voice. I briefly have the idea of heading into the building, but immediately reason that the plot is a complete waste of time. I begin to work my memory for some dream goals, and am very happy with how easily I can recall all the goals I wrote as well as thought about before bed. I have quite a few at this point, and even think about my previous LD of the night and consider finding another dream beast to tame. I begin walking, then take flight to look at the surrounding. I'm in a large outdoor plaza area, mostly made of light colored stone, during the daytime. There are several tall palm trees in the area, and a two story building in the middle of the plaza qutie a few yards away. Large buildings sit on the outskirts of the plaza, and a few cars are off in the distance. I begin flying a bit higher, and am loving the feel of my control; I can really feel the movement of my dream body gliding effortless through the air in the direction of my choice. I decide to incorporate some slow back flips in order to practice flight skills. I take one, and am impressed by the spinning of the dream scene, and the feel of my dream body as my sense of proprioception raises slightly. I take another right after. I land back on the ground, and begin to think about a couple of sivason's dream journal entries from the previous night. I look down at my vivid right hand and begin to get ready to cast a fireball. I try to feel energy charging in the open palm as I raise my hand. Nothing. I try for some lighting with an outstretched arm, but no luck. I decide I'll probably need more visual work for impressive effects. I decide to reach for an out-of-sight dream item figuring it'll be easy. I think about a crossbow, but reason that it's too big. I go for a gunslinger's revolver, and reach to my back pocket. Nothing comes out, but I make a shooting motion anyway, and see a bullethole appear in high up on the wall of the the gray building in the distance. I fly for a bit longer, toward the other side of the plaza, and skip forward to the interior of the building on the outkirt of the plaza. I find myself coming into a large room of what appears to an elementary school. I see all the students sitting in wooden chairs in group of four at a table. I begin engaging my sense of awareness very strongly. I repeat to myself 'I'm aware inside of a dream right now!' as my awareness comes to a very high level. I remember another goal of simply simulating one of my frequent DILD occurances of simply levitating upward. I recreate the experience, with very good control of the levitation. I continue excitedly telling myself that I'm aware inside of a dream as I look around, really being blown away by the level of awareness, and wanting to reaffirm it to myself I decide to what the 'dream feel' feels like in the present moment and enter a very mindful state. It feels very similar to practicing Sageous's reverse reality check. I continue for a moment, then remember another dream goal I wrote down. I think breifly of going to a lucid chocolate shop, but ignore that goal. I decide to go for another. I begin to ask a child DC what my greatest source of happiness is, but the dream quickly ends midway through the question. I have a very brief semi-FA experience where I hear the re-creation of my alarm going off for work. I ditch idea of initiating a DEILD and decide to get up right away. I look at the clock with a RC, and realize I still have about 30 mins to sleep.![]()
