Ophelia's Book O' Fun II

Man I had some crazy nonlucids the other night when I went to bed sick, but they'll have to wait. I gotta tell y'all about the interesting WILD I had this morning.

Went to bed at 1am, woke up at 7,8,9 and it was sooooo hot. But I kept trying and ended up WILDing probably at around 10:30am because I woke up from the WILD at about 11am.

Anyway, traditional roll over, vibrations, then WILD. I got up out of the bed, and my vision was bad, balance was off, and it was really really dark. One of my eyes was blind too, if that isn't insult to injury. [Doctor says to the patient: sorry, your vision is 20/1000, and that's in the eye that ISN'T blind, chuckle chuckle.] ANYway, I left the room and went down the hall, thinking of the hug task. The hall opened into a sunny little play room that doesn't exist irl. A 3-year old version of my son Chris was playing on the floor with some colorful blocks. Perfect! [A little side note about 3-year old Chris: that was the age he was when we had to go to a shelter, and he had regressed somewhat during all the turmoil. Point is, it was during a crappy time for me too, so I feel in many ways that me and Chris missed out on a lot of fun during his 3-year old time. When I was 3 and my parents were split up, my mom took me to Disneyland. Alot.] Happy to see cute lil Chris, I just bent down and picked him up and hugged him super hard and long. Best feeling ever

Then I thought of the write name in sand task, and I noticed that part of the playroom had a sand pit. I won't really count this task because it was indoor sand, but I told myself at that time that in case I don't find a beach later, I'll just try it here. I wrote "Lisa" fairly easily, then "Ophelia" next to it . Ok, still lucid, what were the advanced tasks? I couldn't remember them, even now as I'm typing this out I can't remember, oh yeah, punch the pres. Oh well, all I could remember at the time was the only one I DIDN'T want to do, which was to jump in the volcano. But I figured I could just go there anyway and maybe I'd get brave when I got there. I asked Chris if he wanted to come along and he followed me to the front door. I could hear that it was raining bad outside, and Chris said "Mommy, umbrella" and pointed at the closet where we keep them. I told him that we won't need them. We stepped outside and it was pouring horribly, and super dark. Now, I never have much luck getting rain to clear up, but I remember that one member who uses his DCs to do things for him. So I told Chris to point at the sky and use his magic to make the rain stop. It took a few tries, but the rain stopped, and it got a little brighter out.

I didn't see any mountains or volcanoes anywhere, but a van drove up to us. A guy was driving, and a lady was in the back and she opened the sliding door, asking if we needed a ride. I said, "Mount Fuji is over there somewhere, can you take us there?" She said ok, for $40. So I handed her a $40 bill Which did seem normal at the time lol. Anyway, we weren't driving for long before the van was now on the tracks of a roller coaster. I said to the driver "Man, we gotta get off this thing or I'll lose my lucidity!" as we rolled and tumbled, with visions of Mount Fuji going in and out of my peripheral vision. We finally stopped and got out, and we were in DisneyLand! (Anaheim).

I knew that one of the rides was situated around a volcano that I could probably make real somehow, because I had seen it from inside the van. But then I noticed that Chris was in the arms of that woman from the van, looking really sad. He said, "Mommy, I don't want you to go into a volcano.." Ordinarily this would be where I combated the DC guilt trip and said something like, "Ok, you stay here with Aunti so-and-so, while I go get some 'ice cream' wink wink," and then continue on to find the volcano. But here I was, totally lucid, with 3-year old Chris, AT DISNEYLAND! So I thought fuck it, "He Chris, want to go ride some rides?" And he ran over to me and grabbed my hand. I thought to myself I don't even care if I lose lucidity at this point. The lady gave me back my $40 bill and said, "Here, you can have this back to get some ride tokens." So we went to the token dispenser (so not existing in real Disneyland, oh well who cares. Mickey coins sounded fun). I stuck in the entire $40 dollar bill, which seemed to empty the dispenser of all its tokens. Me and Chris just started filling our pockets with the tokens, much to the dismay of a dad and his son, who were waiting to get their tokens lol. Then Chris and I walked hand in hand and got in line for one of the rides. I believe I did start to lose lucidity at some point in that line, but I don't think I was ever happier in a dream.
