Ophelia's Book O' Fun II

Early this morning, I woke up at 5:30am, then again at some point and started getting some vibrations. They were being really really pokey about kicking over into a LD. Finally I got there, and I opened my dream eyes and found myself in my bed as usual. But when I tried to get up I woke up for real. Ok. So I repeated the process and same thing. I think I did it maybe one more time with no success. Not good hehe.

Then my alarm went off at 6:50 to make sure Chris was on his way to school. Then I went back to bed and got the vibrations again, nice and strong. As I was waiting in those couple moments for the dream to start, I quickly thought up a Plan B because I didn't want to risk waking up again and losing all my chances for a lucid. I thought, well, I'll just start the dream IN the bed, and maybe even go for a task while staying in bed. I opened my dream eyes, and was in bed again, and it was pretty dark. I thought about the basic I task all I needed to do was eat a piece of Halloween candy. I can do that right here in bed haha. So I slowly reached over and imagined a piece of candy would be right there on my nightstand. Of course as I'm reaching over, that old childhood fear of something under my bed grabbing me popped in my head. Sure enough, some small animal or creature jumped up and locked its jaws on the side of my hand. It kinda hurt, but not enough to stop me. I continued to reach for the table, with this thing dangling off my hand. I felt on the table and there was a little piece of candy wrapped in cellophane. Yay! I brought both the candy and the creature into bed with me, and just shook the creature off my hand and it vanished. It was a bit lighter now, and before the creature vanished, I could see that it looked a little like a deranged prairie dog lol. Anyway, I opened the candy and it was a tiny square of blue gum. I popped it in my mouth and chewed, and it tasted like blueberry!

I decided maybe now the dream was stable enough that I could get out of bed, and I did easily. I managed to go out of the room and down the hall a bit. At some point I woke up, can't recall exactly. Fortunately, I DEILDed right back into the dream, back in my bed. So I decided to do the same thing (because if I could convince my subC that the candy was poisoned, I'd get advanced wings too!). I reached over, got the same little attacker, and shook it away again. This time the candy was a little red square of gum and tasted like cherries. I got up, went down the hall and into the bathroom. I wanted to see in the mirror if the gum was poisoned and what it would do to me. I'm telling you, I willed the SHIT out of that gum to be poisoned, but nothing happened. I stuck my tongue out and the gum had stained it green. I thought to myself "I guess in dream land, blue and red candy makes green!" Then I woke up.

A silly little basic task, but I'm mostly proud of the way I handled the issue of accidentally waking up. I'm seriously patting myself on the back for not only thinking up the solution, but thinking it up quick! It was mostly out of desperation for fear of losing lucid opportunity, but I'm telling you: once you're in the mind set to solve problems in a lucid, or just before the lucid, or while transitioning, you only need a few seconds of really rational thought. Then things will fall into place. Then you'll feel like a million bucks and a super lucid genius for the day!
