Oneirin's Dreamworld

I'm in my childhood home, and approaching the window of my brother's room on the second story. As I begin to head toward the window, my awareness raises and I have the thought that when I phase through, I'll be lucid. As I pass through to the outside, I am floating in the air in the front of the property, aware of the dream state. I announce to the dream 'I'm lucid' to solidify it. I think back to the podcast that made the suggestion for the announcement. I begin floating across the yard while rubbing my dream hands, and consider some of my dream goals. As I run my memory, I decide against it and instead decide to explore a bit and stabilize. Everything becomes very vivid as I approach the sidewalk, and make my way to the back of an SUV parked in the driveway. I approach the trunk, and place my hands on it, feeling the texture. I have the thought that it's incredible that a dream could be so realistic. I continue to stabilize by feeling the texture of the trunk for a few seconds, then continue on and turn left. I make my way into the street, and the dream quickly goes to void. i'm very calm, and simply remind myself that a new dream is loading. I stay in this state for about three minutes, patiently waiting for the next dream scene. I go through periods where it feels as though a waterfall current comes onto my dream head, then periods where it feels like a light current of energy is moving laterally across my head. Finally, someone lightly shakes me and tells me I need to get up. I jolt awake on a couch and ask 'Is this a dream??'. S responds matter-of-factly no... it's not a dream. I take a look around and see the vividness of the scene; it's easy to believe her. RCing doesn't come to me for some reason, and I go on to tell her about my lucid.
