Exploration of my Mind

I am just using this post as some places I would like to explore and enjoy when i finally become more conscious in my LD and get better at changing settings.

- A calming forest with a sparkling lake in between
- A large mountain to climb
- Underneath the Ocean
- The world of Avatar: The Last Airbender (lol Lame, I know, but I love that show and some of the places look so cool to actually be)
----That water palace
----Ba Sing Se
----The Spirit World
----Fire bender village
-Final Fantasy X maps (Spira - The Final Fantasy Wiki has more Final Fantasy information than Cid could research)
---- Besaid Island
---- Kilika
---- Luca
---- ect.
-On a Caribbean type Island
-African like safari
-Rain Forest
-Climbing a giant tree. So big that the higher I climb, the more lost I get until I find a village in the tree with bridges and houses made of branches and lanterns.
-Swim through space with no gravity
-Explore through an Ice cave.
I will add more. hopefully, I will get good enough to start trying some of these. If you can think of some more I would love to hear ideas.

I was getting Vietnamese food with my best friend. There was an old Vietnamese man in the back that kept muttering phrases to himself in Vietnamese. He would say them quietly over and over again to himself. Other creepy things I can't remember happened so I decided to leave the restaurant. I walked out into the town. It was greyish outside, like it was beginning to rain around 7pm. A grocery cart rolled up on its own as I heard (Not sure where I was hearing this from) about some legend of a dead little girl in the village. Any time I would try to speak it was very hard (This should have been enough to make me lucid). I decided to walk around the unrecognizable town. I was going through people's yards and felt so scared. The village felt dark and haunted. I was pretty lucid but not a hundred yet. I knew I had control over most of my decisions. I decided to fly because I was afraid of running into people. As I started flying I felt my dream body "leaving" my real body (which I usually wake up then because I get scared) but I decided to just let it happen. This made me totally realize the dream. I was slowly flying higher and higher. It was taking a lot of will for me to keep going higher. I became excited as I realized the dream and called my sister (haha). She was yelling on the phone with excitement and told me "you are dreaming" many times. I was so sure my real body had slept walked to my sister and really called her and that she was really saying these things to me but I was hearing them in the dream. This thought made me wake up only to find out that none of that was true! Oh well haha.

The dream started as a different dream that I can't exactly remember but somehow it led into me laying in a bed watching a movie. Next thing I know, the dream was taking place in the movie. I was a character in the movie instead of myself. I don't even think I looked like myself. I have never had a dream where I was not myself, this was the first one where I played another character. (If anyone else has had a similar situation, I would love to hear about it). In this horror "movie" I was a greaser type guy protecting my gf/date while we waited to see a movie (I know, lol) from a masked man who stood and pointed at her, blaming her for something she must of did. I do not recognize anyone in the dream. I finally see the masked man and decide to run towards him. As I do this I start to become lucid, but not fully. I try to yell for my friends to grab him but I can't (Common in my dreams for me to have trouble talking). I can fee,l what I think is, my real life mouth trying to open and talk but it won't budge. I am scared and try and wake up but what happens is the "Other dream me" "watching" THIS movie stands up to look away from the movie. As if the "me" watching the movie had woken up. I was not completely aware or in control for ether dream bodies. I barely controlled my actions and did not have a huge "I'm dreaming" moment. I realize I need to learn to control my talking in dreams and also control my dream body without trying to move my real body.
