lucid

I got lucid by doing the nose pinching rc. I got up from my bed and grounded myself in the dream, which stabilized it. I decided to just jump out of the window and fly. Not sure why I don't remember any of the goals for the competition. I phased through the closed window and jumped off the ledge. That was pretty scary this time, I actually felt scared of falling but forced myself to do it anyway. I started flying up and when I looked back, the area looked completely different. I didn't even notice anything had changed. Funnily enough, I actually tried to see if anything would change after this. That made me mindful and the mindfulness seemed to make things more coherent, at least while it lasted. I lost that again quickly. After flying for like half a minute I decided to land and look around. It was raining and kinda cold so I went into this restaurant. I started talking to a waiter right at the entrance and then woke up.

I was in the dining room at home when I got lucid randomly. My memory sucked in this ld too so I didn't really remember anything I planned in real life and just ended up flying around for the most part. The area outside the window didn't look like it should. After focusing on my sight for a bit, which made the dream more stable and vivid, I phased through the window in front of me and started flying around without a goal or destination in mind. I heard someone I know from discord sing in my mind at this point. I remembered him telling me that he has lds sometimes where he talks to people in a voice chat, thinking he is asleep and hears the voice chat from real life. I knew this wasn't real though. After a few seconds of flying and then landing on the ground, I had a really bad youtuber song play in my mind this time. I started flying again and the next thing I remember is being in an area that doesn't exist in real life. It was a playground surrounded by trees, with a carpet in the middle of the sand that had a wooden table on it for some reason. I landed and kicked over the table on purpose while doing so. Shortly after that, I got startled by the sound of my alarm playing and the sound of my phone vibrating. I was surprised not to have woken up yet, but I decided that I'd wake up anyway so I might as well let myself wake up. I just kinda "let go" of the dream and woke up, to find out that no alarm was going off in real life and my next wbtb alarm would've been in like 20 minutes.

After being non lucid for a while, I escaped my own balcony, which, in my mind, was a literal prison. I did so by flying off with some kind of device that didn't really make sense. I ended up above a country road at some point and this is where I got lucid, mid flight. I decided to try and control the speed a bit, but the way this thing I was using was shaped made it difficult. Strangely, I never actually looked at the object, but as far as I could tell, it was some kind of bucket shaped object, with fire or air coming out of the open end with a lot of pressure. I was standing on the other end and there was some kind of pipe coming out of the middle, which I was holding onto while flying this thing. I tried to change the angle to fly faster, which worked, but it didn't make a big difference. I eventually decided to land on the ground. On the ground, I saw a group of people made up of former classmates of mine from real life. I was curious about what they were doing there, so I decided to go there. One of my class teachers was talking to a girl about something while the rest was kind of just there and talked to each other, not having any particular tasks to do. When I looked at their faces, it seemed to me that they were really accurate to real life, better than I could remember in waking life. This might have been a deception, not sure. There was a fence next to the group, a bit taller than me, which I jumped over with super strength. I woke up shortly after this.

The mental clarity wasn't perfect in this LD and I probably would've done something else had it been better, but there was still some stuff that gives points for the competition and I wasn't bored either, so whatever.
