Ophelia's Book O' Fun II

Horrible insomnia last night, but thank goodness I'm off today so that I could sleep in and have an interesting DILD. I woke up at 3am, then fell back to sleep at about 5:30am, when Danny was getting ready for work. I could faintly hear him in the kitchen getting his food together. Right before I fell asleep, I had some vibrations, but they were really short, mild bursts. Not enough to keep me aware, so I passed out cold. The first thing I remember was a nonlucid where I was reading some kind of health journal in bed. It's interesting to me how the words were not jumbled, and what I was reading seemed to make sense (until the last 3 words):

Something about congestive heart failure.. something something patients experience these symptoms etc etc in a bird.

HAHA?! In a bird? I said I must be dreaming. My room Looked different and my comforter was not mine. So I slowly got out of bed. I had the strange feeling that not much time had passed, and that Danny would still be in the kitchen in real life, so I wondered if I would bump into the DC version of him. I did, and he came up and kissed me. I noticed that he had rearranged all the living room furniture, including some furniture that we don't own. I laughed and said "Good work on the living room there buddy, been busy eh?" He hugged me and said "Yeah, I know, I'm awesome. There's still a blank spot on that wall though, and I need to change my cell number." I wanted to tell him what a cute DC he was, but I didn't want him to explode, so I just said I needed to go do stuff, have a nice day at work. I went to the dining room that we don't own, and thought about how I want to see if I can switch back and forth between feeling my real body in bed, then back into the LD. I laid down on the floor, but things started to get dark, and I was afraid I would wake up, so I hopped back up. I went into the living room, and Danny was gone. The room wasn't very well lit. I saw Daisy run up to me and give me some love. I went through the house trying light switches, but nothing worked. So finally I went for the front door, which looked different and had a weird lock that I don't own irl. I could hear rain on the other side. I opened the lock, then the door, then what I saw was probably the coolest LD scene I can remember. It was raining, and flooding the driveway and road. There were these bushes in the front yard that were so emerald green. Everything was so vivid, and hyper-colored. More vivid than in real life, and I'm starting to think that my extra vivid dreams are extra clear like this, because I don't have visual snow in the really clear, vivid dreams. Whereas I have visual snow in real life, which translates to some of the less vivid dreams. Anyway, I wasn't going to go outside at first, because of all the rain, then I thought screw it. I'm glad I did, because the scene that unveiled was amazing. Instead of a row of houses that should have been there, there was a playground with a huge jungle gym set, and just behind it was a giant italian villa, only way more colorful. To the right was a huge silver and crystal palace, and to the left was the Dallas skyline more or less. I looked at the villa and there was an outside elevator going up, but it didn't stop at the top balcony, it just shot up through the sky like a rocket. I said I'm so going there right now. Oh and Ziggy escaped and went for a swim in the flooded driveway, but I retrieved him and tossed him back inside. I started for the gym set, but I was barefoot. I summoned some shoes, but there were no matches, just a bunch of odd sized boots. I threw some on that looked similar enough. They felt cool and wet from being rained on. Though the rain had now stopped. I walked to the base of the gym set, when I noticed a guy talking to a girl about real estate. I decided to be funny, and I shook my bootie at him. He stopped talking for a bit, like I distracted him haha. I climbed to the top of the jungle gym, singing some Lucia di Lammermoor. Couldn't get out the high E, so I laid down and tried again, no luck. Stupid dream voice. I stood back up, but now that villa and the palace were gone, just the Dallas skyline. But I could see, just a short distance between the base of the other side of the jungle gym and downtown, was a little street that was adorned with lights, just like Little Italy in NY. I decided to get down of the set and go there. I had the choice between a rope ladder with plastic bars, or the pole. It was a looooong way down, and I feel pain in LDs too, so I avoided the pole and went down the ladder. As i started down, it went immediately to night, but I could still see since I think there were floodlights on the playground. I stopped briefly and looked at the pole.. I should have gone for the pole instead, would have been faster. I need to fly more, hell. i got to the bottom, then everything went black. I clapped my hands, saying more light, over and over. But my voice was so weak. I suddenly "woke up", but it was into another lucid. I was instantly in a bed in a strange bedroom, sitting straight up. This bed had bed posts, and holding onto one at the foot of the bed, was a man dressed like a KKK member. But his costume had floral print lol. Still kinda creepy. He was facing me perfectly, almost like a reflection (except for the KKK part of course). I waved my hands back and forth really fast, and he mirrored me perfectly. Then I flipped him off with both hands, same thing. I said, I gotta get out of this room. The door was right beside him, damnit. I got up, and ran for the door. He ran towards me, so I put my hand out to block him, and my hand ended up in his toothless mouth, and I woke up.

All the annoying things about this dream were worth that one, beautiful vivid scene. I wish I could draw it for you guys.
