Probably the most elaborate dream I've had the pleasure of remembering in a while :0... It went a little something like this:
I found myself hovering many kilometres off the ground with a grassy, desert like landscape beneath me in all directions. After taking in the scenery I looked up to find multiple iron man suits floating around nearby. I myself was wearing the 'arms' of the suit I guess because my wrists felt heavy and every time I made a fist I'd lose altitude. I hovered closer to one of the other 'Iron Men' and noticed markings on one that looked like a police badge. This was when the man himself, Tony Stark flew up to me in his classic red and gold armour and challenged me to a freefall race: First to the ground wins. I accepted his challenge, clenched my fists and the race begun. I took a skydiver pose, the one where you've got your hands up next your head and your legs bent back at the knee, but quickly straightened out to pick up speed when I noticed that Tony had assumed the lead. We were neck to neck as I got closer to the ground but I had this feeling like I was going way too fast so I'd have to slow down a little in order to avoid crashing into the street. To do this I opened up my palms again and directed them to the floor. Tony bolted passed me not slowing down at all and then stopped dead just above the ground. Having lost the race I laughed and stated that it was unfair because he likely had Jarvis calculate exactly when he should adjust his speed to stop so close to the ground. The last thing I remember before waking up was taking off the now suddenly very heavy arm thrusters and putting them in a storage unit near a gas station. Needless to say when I woke up I was impressed by my brain's capacity to create such an amazing and detailed dream.

Early afternoon of May 20, 2013. Monday.



In my very clear lucid dream, I walk around in our house (which is much larger in my dream) wondering what is going on. I start to get into the habit of touching my face and mouth regularly in my dream to check if I am breathing properly in real life. This is because, at the time, I remember that I am sleeping with a pillow over the side of my head but there is plenty of room to breathe.

I walk around until I notice that our back hallway is so much larger than in real life, I feel amazed. It is so large that there is now a shiny white car in mint condition, possibly a 1980s Ferrari Testarossa, parked between the bathroom and storage cupboards facing north to where I am standing in the larger than real life kitchen area.

Being fully lucid, but with too many ideas on how I can utilize my lucidity, I walk to the car and start tapping it on the top and front and it makes a sound just like someone slapping the side of a washing machine, with a slightly hollow effect. This makes me happy, as I start lucidly feeling all the cool areas of the outside of the car. I am able to open the unusual car door (though on the second attempt). Curiously, I am actually able to fit inside the car comfortably after being able to get in. (As I have documented before, cars are often too small to get inside of in my dreams.)

I move my feet over the floor of the car, not really touching anything with my feet, and I turn a key to hear a soft sort of engine sound. Suddenly, I take off very fast, north, right through our house. It does not matter at all because I am dreaming. There are no obstacles; I just drive through as if nothing was there to slow or block the car.

I eventually drive near a cliff, but then the car is vertically upright, facing downwards, hovering high in midair, and I am looking down at about dozen people on a rocky beach near the ocean. A few people look up at me. I start thinking about all the things I could do in my dream, but I am also thinking that I had been asleep long enough and decide to wake up.

---

I came home to find our main aquarium on the floor over turned. Miraculously it was unbroken but either all or most of the water was drained. I quickly set it back up while very nervous, refilled it, and started trying to save the creatures. As I found them on the floor I proceeded to add them to the aquarium. It was dark and I had trouble seeing. one of the weirdest creatures I found and added was a tiny blue aquatic bird. I somehow caught it in my fist. It's fluttering was hurting my hand, but I held on and plopped it back into the water where it swam / flew safe. I knew that there were supposed to be others like it, but did not know whether they were safe inside or still missing. the aquarium was full of lights which were time and looked amazing, but made it hard to see anything else. I wondered whether I had plugged everything that needed to be plugged into the electricity back in, and whether all these plugs were indeed aquarium related, but I had no time to check, I had to try to save the creatures. While crawling on the floor under the stand, I saw something rolling fast: it was a Malaysian trumpet snail (this is a real creature from my tank, unlike the blue bird, but in reality it could not roll like that). I caught it and into the tank it went. I wondered whether my favorite fish had been saved, but could not check yet, must go on searching. I thought, well, at least now don't have to worry whether the tank is overstocked or not, but that thought did not make me feel better. I was confused that the plants seemed to be missing, even though in reality I have tons of aquatic plants, and yet the tank seemed rather full already.

I woke up without completing the strange rescue.

Finally broke the the lucid length dry spell, thanks to the competition i guess.
Now need to improve dream control and work on my expectations...

Dream 1(fragment):

I was in some theater/shop place.

Dream 2(fragment):

Can't recall much of start of the dream, i was doing something at home and getting messages on skype from SilentEternity, then i went to continue the nap. I was trying to fall asleep but my legs were randomly moving into some positions, i eventually fell asleep. Then i woke up and was walking to somewhere, then fadeout.
I wake up again and take off headphones, i still hear binaurals so i am dreaming, the room is pretty accurate to waking life. I go towards the balcony door but it's closed, for some reason i decide against going outside this time, and i just start flying around inside, i feel the wings. Random thought comes to me to try to summon a dragon again, but nothing happens. I fly around the room in circles and each time furniture around changes, there are random tables, some food, vases, drawers, the time of day is changing between day and night as well randomly. While flying i decide to try transformation again, this time into one of the characters i thinked up for certain game, Scionox. I feel the change in my hands, i look at them and they are turned into kinda solid darkness, not exactly what i wanted but still success. They fade back to normal after a few seconds though. I do give it a few more tries but each try just reduced the number of fingers on my hands by one with no other effect.
Shortly i wake up, happy and then i wake up again and do an reality check, haha, false awakenings.

In this dream I was a male member of a software development team. I remember I was a white man, tall and skinny and strong.

I don't know what our application was supposed to do, but there was an email component. The developer of the email component was I think a subcontractor of a different company, and the lead of our project wanted to exclude him as much as possible.

First scene was like a demo, and during the demo the email developer figured out how to make things visible in 3D and in color. the lead resented this even though these were crucial developments in our project but she did not like that this was him who figured it out.

Second scene, we are in our work area and our lead is telling the email developer that he cannot come to another meeting. I say to the lead, "You cannot exclude a member of the team and remain a member of the team, especially not after what he has done!" I bodily lift the team lead up. She is a petite woman. I sit her on a desk, and jab a finger in her chest to make the point. Then I suddenly get the insight, "Hey, I guess that means you are not a member of this team. Out!" And I point to the door behind me. She says, "You can't do that. I am the boss." And I say, "Yes, I can. And no, you are not. He is." I just know without looking that our boss who is her boss and everyone else's is in the doorway behind me. Will he support her or me? I wonder.

I never find out because I wake up instead.

Side note: Even though this dream was non-lucid it had this powerful moment of insight, where I felt empowered. this dram is inconsistent in that I say that one can't exclude a team member, but I exclude her.

Last night's dream was a sad one for me. Took me a few moments after waking up to realize it didn't actually happen.
I was hanging out in my old middle school for whatever reason. All of a sudden, I noticed my girlfriend outside of the door in the hallway, being insulted by some guy. Obviously angry, I stormed out there and beat the guy up, telling him to never disrespect her ever again. Afterwards, my girlfriend and I wandered off. As we passed by more people in the school, she decided to run ahead of me and hang out with them instead. So, naturally, I started feeling as if she was mad at me.
I eventually asked her about this. "Are you mad at me about beating up that kid? I'm sorry."
She shook her head and said it wasn't that. I asked what it was. At this point, I can't remember what we discussed, but I do remember it ending with us standing by a poolside, me begging her to forgive me about something, and her splashing me with water and running away.
Woke up afterwards with a sad feeling, only to realize it was just a dream.

Have to be quick so I'll leave out the details.

#1 I'm an extra in a play. Something about number coded items. I'm wearing some robe. My part is not speaking but I pretend to have a funny conversation with someone.

#2 I am camping with RR and full into different campsites the they are disappointing because the look like putting a tent in a parking lot.

#3 My back yard is flooded and water is coming up to the deck. I start looking at river rocks and find loose change. Dimes and quarters. Then a dollar on the deck. I think all this is really cool.

#4 I am driving and see a horrible car crash. One car is on its top and burning. There is a child in it. Suddenly my car crashes but I'm ok. I try to call 911 but my cell doesn't work. I run to a house and use an old corded land line. I have a conversation with them and I am crying. I go back and show my wife where it all was but it looks like a strange basement.
It was very emotional.

#5 My son has to go to the doctor right away for something I'm concerned about in waking life.

#6 We decide to trade our new car in for something else. The dealer asks me how much I own and I am amazed at how upside down we are.

I had an accident in the dream. ram into a car. I thought that yesturday in no-lucid dream i had the same situation. Made RC, and decided to fly to Jupiter. I made some device on my palm - which would help me to fly there. I put it on my neck and flew. The land was far away and when i was near the space i found myself in some bushes and one of the torny branch was in my mouse. And i couldn't took it away. I made befor my eyes the device again and put it on my neck. flew and awoke.

A very common dream sign of mine is the mushroom. Whether it is growing in an unusual quantity or off the branches of trees like leaves, I must learn to recognize this oddity as a dream sign inside the dream. Last night I dreamed that I was walking on the side of a river, the place looks familiar but is a little different. I think I have visited this spot previously in another dream. It was looking at the various types of mushrooms growing there, all of them not really out of the ordinary. Then I come across a little patch of mushrooms growing out of the fork of a tree. They were the most vibrant shade of red I have ever seen and gave off a slight glow. Looking closer at them, I see that there are small crystals growing on the caps and are giving off a low, barely audible, humming sound. As I sat there looking at these mushrooms, I hear a growl beyond the tree line. Suddenly, a troll-like creature bursts from the undergrowth and starts charging towards me. I fall backwards, abruptly waking up with a dull ache in my head.

Maybe they were the troll's special prize and I was encroaching upon his territory? I cannot make any sense out of it apart from that. What does this dream tell me? I don't think I will ever know, but that isn't too bad of a thing.

Gentlemen's Class

My school had some kind of program for boys who didn't have dates for the prom. It was supposed to teach you how to act when you have a girlfriend and how to treat her. The class was taking place outside of an auto parts store in my town.
The teacher (who was actually my current math teacher) told us that we all had to take off our jackets and lay them down so that our girlfriend could walk over them.
(Real life notes. I've never been interested in getting a girlfriend. Really. Never. I had a crush on this one girl but the girl I liked moved away a few months ago and that was the end of it. I never had the guts to ask her out.)
Anyways. I started talking with this younger boy with black curly hair. We talked about how this class was kind of pointless because most of the people here weren't even interested in getting into a romantic relationship.

My friend's dad died.

I was in my own neighborhood, talking with someone. We were walking down the center street of the subdivision while talking. I can't really remember what we were talking about.
When we got to the end of the block, we found that one house had this huge party going there. When I came closer, I was explained that the party was actually a funeral for my friend's father.
Now I can't remember the specifics of any of the dream characters here. The dream was very blurry. I can't remember who I was talking to on my way down the block, or which of my friends' fathers had died.
I shied away from the party and started walking back down the path toward my house. Another faceless dream character came by my side. The three of us started talking about life and things.

WILD experience.

It was about 3:00 am when I did this. I can't remember the details of being in SP, or if I even was in SP. I just remember that I started thinking about school, and slowly a dream about school formed around me.
I was walking down the hallways. I did a nose plug reality check, but I did it without really paying attention, and didn't become lucid.
Dream characters to the rescue! Someone behind me reminded me to pay attention when I did my reality check. I did the nose plug again. I noticed this time that I could breathe.
I continued down the hallway, but the dream was very blurry, and my lucidity was not very clear. Just like in the last dream, everyone was a faceless dream character. I can't even remember the specifics of the stabilization techniques that I employed.
I slipped out of lucidity nonetheless and went to class.

I woke up after the WILD experience about half an hour later in real time. I tried to WILD again while maintaining lucidity. It was unsuccessful.

Pre bed: Green tea

Total sleep time: 9 hrs

Dream quality and recall: went to bed very late, deep sleep tonight, and recall was hard. I have been trying to recall the whole first dream all day long but with little success.

Fragment1 DILD: I am looking at a male person, concentrating on top of their head. I see a second more transparent double layer shining with color, I am so aware, lucid is an understatement. I get a great sense of understanding. There is a discussion and feelings of happiness from my side. I am also talking with PennyRoyal, he is one of my good buddies in the dream. It was very vivid, but I don't have much recall. My key impressions are positive feelings, knowledge and understanding. This was my first memorable REM or Non-REM? for the night.

Fragment2: Me and somebody else are about to catch a small plane. We are in front of a very small airport, but we need to get to the other part of the airport, we are looking at a map of the area.

brief natural wake, had the idea of writing down the previous dreams but was way too tired, thought I would remember it, so went back to sleep

Fragment3: FA, I wake up in my bed, grab the tablet and start writing down the dream with Penny. My bf is near me, watching what I have typed, I stop writing, I wake up.

WBTB: I wake up, this time jot down keywords, and spend 10 mins struggling to remember more of the dream. Reviewed tasks, but had the feeling this will be it for today.

Dream4: We are in some place with my bf with a blond guy, resembling a former classmate. While he is a total stranger, but my bf doesn't mind him spending the evening with us. We talk for a long time, he is slightly arrogant. The guy decides it's time to leave so he jumps from a bridge. I watch him vanish in the air instead of falling in the water.

Fragment5: Another attempt to remember the dream with Penny, but I am trying to recall during the dream itself. This time I see a water in front of me, it is a waterfall. I think the dream with Penny might have included Angel Falls, also get some feeling of happiness, yet cannot remember more even during the dream.

Fragment6: A new thread started by Xanos

Dream7: I am with my parents in a familiar place. I have the feeling this is the second dream in that place for today. We talk about something with my mom, and I decide to go to another room. I then go out. I feel much better now, by myself, on the street, there is a fence and obviously a zoo. A lot of people are there, I join them. I see a polar bear cub, and that people are actually going beyond the fence. I want to go to where the cub is so I also cross over and am inside the section with the animals.

I look to the other side and see now a brown bear cub, it is on its back, drinking a bottle of coke. I am with a friend of mine and I tell her that the zoo keepers will think that we gave the drink to the bear and be angry with us. I try to take the bottle of coke away from the bear, but I am taking its food, it is stressed now. I am afraid of its mother, which is a much larger polar bear. We are sitting on a couch with some DCs, when the mother bear comes. I try to think of a plan to escape, without attracting her attention. I think at that point she transforms into a DC, conveys the message that she wants us to leave her territory, so I ask the DCs that we go. They get up, we are leaving, and the mother bear DC is grateful.

Comments: It's been three days in a row that I have been dreaming animals, it is high time I begin to recognize this as a dream sign! Also, upon waking up don't forget to at least count fingers or do any RC, to take advantage of those FAs.

Pretty good narrative in last night's dreams. I can remember an abrupt shift in continuity, which normally I wouldn't have remembered and it would've been split up into two dreams.

First was another Peet's dream. Pretty unrelated to any others, this might've been before I woke up to go to the bathroom and went back to sleep. We had a shitload of new pastries. I could not remember the names of any of them, for the life of me. We had a lot of new promotional materials, new menus which folded up, with different pamphlets inside, which were touchscreen and I could control by pinching and zooming around with my phone. "I really hate these things," I thought. A customer came up to ask me what "this one" was. I believe it's a cranberry walnut scone. I sold him 2, but tried to find the name of the second one, since I thought they looked different. I went searching through the menu. There were pictures of Peet's employees (home office? some promotional thing? i don't know) in risque poses, girls showing their boobs, but nothing hardcore. They're really getting desperate, I guess. Maya ends up coming in to sort things out. "This is an iron-faced scone." I guess it has a lot of iron? wtf? So those would have to be voided, whatever. My dad and grandpa and other members of my family started to arrive. It's always a really interesting feeling when they visit me at work. We started to eat, I got my grandpa some kind of coffee, there was a scrounge for food. This is where the dream fades. Vague impressions of selflessness, which could lead on to the next one.

I began working at a park, Franklin Park. I was doing the most selfless job of all time, hosting a fair kind of thing for kids to play in. My whole LIFE was about these kids, I swear. I lived in a tent on the field. This was my doing, and it felt pretty good. Ping-pong was happening, frisbee, air hockey, and yet I kept enough space between everything and monitored the energy levels to make sure that everybody could enjoy the park to the fullest. No air hockey pucks went flying off to smack somebody, not on MY watch. I had to chase one kid out of the park for being a dick and picking a fight. I walked up to him and chased him off. After he went through the front gates of the park I jumped highhh in the air, intimidating. "Damn Joe, you can levitate now??" Not really, but it was such a sick jump that it was almost like I could. (Levitating is one of my hallmark dream powers.)

I went back to my tent, but as the day was getting darker the people in the park started to get older. Bigger kids, shady people. They ended up stealing some of the stuff out of my tent. I went to chase after them; one of them was something like a brother to me. He took off in a van, and I ran after him. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? He was ruining my altruistic gig here! I caught up to him in an alley way. During the chase, my emotions had gradually escalated towards violence, and I hurled insults at him and might have tried to hit him through the van window. I jumped in the air again, in hot pursuit, and he SHOT me. I was stunned; that was uncalled for! But I wasn't hurt. He apologized and I got in the van. It's time to learn guns, to learn violence. He gave me a tiny gun. "See if you can shoot this .22, five rounds." It was more like a BB gun than anything. Miniscule. It must have been even smaller than my hand as I held it. We graduated on to bigger guns; he had a big collection in the van. I came back to the family eating place (from earlier on in the night), acting sly. I had broken the good-natured identity I presented at the park, but I didn't want to show it. Yet there were guns.

The scenery changed. There's a gap in continuity here. Me and my brother started chasing another pair of brothers through a "level" of some sort. Strains of Crash Bandicoot began to shine through the dream. We finally confronted them in a futuristic-looking room; they climbed into this tank-like object in the center and we began the "boss battle." A thought came to me: this is how the "Nitrous Brothers" were formed. They would be a boss in a later game. After the battle, they were immobilized. I got the feeling that the game was telling me to leave the area, like they were knocked out and it was time to move on, but I didn't want to be responsible for letting them become an evil menace in the future. I climbed around the towering, swiveling tank thing in the middle, and grabbed different chemicals out of indentations in the side. Bleach, ammonia. I poured them in the hole in the top, but it didn't cause a big enough chemical reaction to kill them. Eventually I moved on.

Walking down a hallway, I decided to do extra exploring, and peeked inside of a bathroom. Of course I went inside the girl's bathroom, too, and this is where shit got crazy. There were a ton of easter eggs, places where a different reality emerged. All of the sudden I stumbled upon a tree, or a hole in the ground, and then the transition happened immediately. I WAS crash bandicoot. I bounced along the canopy of this tree, avoiding "holes" where there was no substance in the texture of the game which would take my lives. This was extremely sudden, but I've learned (I guess??) that when you're playing crash bandicoot and a portal to an extra world opens up, you roll with it! So I abandoned the rest of the level, the one of bathrooms with tile and human identities. I bounced along the canopy and made it to the end, where I was warped to an entirely different world.

There were cliffs along the side of this very narrow canyon, with terraced vegetation. I could walk along these parts. ("I" was fully marsupial at this point.) I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had the death spin from Crash 3. It had a different trajectory, but it was cool as hell. I could roll with it. I spun to a tiny cave in the wall of the cliff and collected crystals. Sooo many crystals. There were 3 or so on each level as I jumped down towards the floor, for a total of 5 or 6. Near the bottom there were allll these crystals and gems, although they weren't shining or floating, sticking out of the wall, like they needed to be excavated. The dirt was soft. I spun away at it, or dug away at it with an indistinct tool, and all the crystals and gems fell to the ground. Yet I couldn't collect them; they were still inanimate objects, things not of import to my quest. I checked a strategy guide. They said to do what I had done, to get the extra gems (some were bigger than others, and all of different colors, worth more than one! One was 45 or something). But they weren't animated still. I found on one crystal an "on" switch; once I hit it, it began to vibrate, and the energy that it exuded revived the other gems and crystals. They all came alive, and I watched them with fascination. They had different personalities. One was blue, with a mangled end, and as it started to move I realized that it was actually a mouth! I fed it a few minor gems/crystals, hoping to increase its value but save the important ones. I didn't want it to grow into a monster, either. It was very slow. Some enormous ones splintered up, others merged. After this whole process was done, I managed to "snatch" the crystals (with that beautiful nostalgic sound effect). As I was waiting for them to come up into my inventory, Crash snuck away. (We were two now.) Like a cat, he jumped up into the rocks and tried to hold on. Once he missed, and landed, but the second time he jumped up too high, grabbing on to holds at the very end of his wingspan. Someone else came along (a climber?) and make a quip. "I hope he doesn't try to...." Eventually we went down to the mouth of the canyon, going underground, to the next level, and the dream ended.

Analysis: The most interesting part is probably that I brought about this weird reality by the means of violence. There are opportunities in day to day life to express myself nobly, and try to be super altruistic for the greater good, but the happenings of this dream seem to indicate that it is superficial and shallow, and won't last. Also, I love Crash Bandicoot, and all the imagery that I get from it. I'm GOOD at problem solving in these strange, virtual worlds. It feels good. I don't know, I like it. Strange things might happen, but I'm usually OK, and can exercise my will in different settings, depending on the environment.

Accidentally fallen asleep while recalling, so eh.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was browsing dreamviews and there was some sort of discussion

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing some video game(I think FPS) and i recall some blue-ish level

I lived in a tribal area with a large family. I know that we lived at the foot of a huge mountain, and that we might have lived in tan-colored tents. Something was threatening us, I think it was a guy that wasn't human (dark hair, I think). My job was to go up the mountain and stop him, although I can't remember what he was doing wrong.

I remember climbing up a snowy mountainside with my servant. It was very steep, and tough to not slide. I remember catching bugs and finding plants to eat. I was constantly worried that we would starve or not be able to find shelter. We came upon an abandoned house on the mountain, had been white but was now green with mold and moss. It had a very creepy air so we kept on moving.

The mountain had this spiral 'stairway' that was constantly moving. My servant and I had reached the stairway and were staring at it as it descended below us to a point that we couldn't see. There was a digital clock with red letters above the stairway that I think said 4:20. It told us how long it'd take for us to make it to the top of the mountain if we started now. We decided to wait for a while, because we wouldn't have to walk as far if we waited until the mountain had descended a little.

We used materials that we found to make a shelter, and at this point others joined us. I remember seeing a big sheet of metal that I think we used as a roof. At one point we went and checked the clock again, but decided to wait when we saw that it still had two hours left.

Fragment: There was a radio or old TV that someone got very angry over and accused another person of stealing. I remember seeing someone carrying an armload of supplies. I was very busy.

We finally did come back down the mountain. I remember running on my hands like some animals, but going really fast. I remember seeing a tree that was growing like a huge corkscrew, but was like Jack and the Beanstalk because it was still growing. My dad met me at the bottom of the mountain. At this point I felt like I had been chasing someone, and that they had escape up the spiral tree.

Well had two lucids this morning, although they were pretty late in the morning so the quality was kind of low. But hey at least I had them..
Onto the lucids,

First Lucid: Again there was no real precursor that I remember to this one, it was more like my classroom for 3-D animation at school just started materializing and so I just was lucid as it appeared. This time I had my mind on my three step task list for the competition. So I immediately got up from my chair that I was sitting in and just tried to fly in the classroom haha. That didn't really work so well, I didn't even float or anything. Wasn't even thinking about stabilization or anything either. So I went to a more spacious part of the classroom and tried to jump again, but to no avail. And the dream was just extremely finicky the whole time what with not stabilizing or anything.. So, after my second failed attempt the dream ended and I woke back up.

Second Lucid: Again I was back in my 3-D animation class, but this time I didn't become lucid instantaneously. I was sitting there playing some sort of game or something on a computer that I don't usually sit at. There was a cool looking flashdrive just sitting there that was white with light teal accents, so I just took it and put it in my pocket. Then it was time to leave so I got up and when I got up I noticed there was a substitute, which isn't important at all just a detail.. And then I saw what looked like someone's phone and headphones sitting next to the computer, so I was going to tell the substitute about it, but upon closer inspection it turned out to just be some power brick or something.. Now when I go outside I realize that I'm dreaming.. And again my mind darts right to my three step task list, wanting those bonus points.. So, I immediately jump over the rail of the building and fly down to where a ton of people are walking (this area actually at the school is blocked off and under construction.) So, I fly down and land and focus next on using telekinesis I see a girl's back pack hanging open with some goggles hanging out, and I focus all of my attention on them but then they just fly out of her backpack before I move my hand or anything.. So, I think well I don't know if I did that or not, I wanted to actually be sure that it's me moving the object. So, I walk around and see this big leaf on the ground, around the size of a small palm tree leaf. I focus my attention on it and visualize the imaginary string coming from my finger to move it, but it doesn't move! I stop and think, and realize I should probably stabilize or this dream's going to go the same way the last one did. So, I rub my hand together for a little bit still focusing on that leaf. I feel it, that this time it's going up, but again it doesn't.. So I kind of crouch down at this point and as I go to move my hand up in a quick motion above the leaf, I let out a sort of yell and it finally flies up into the air, I might have overdone it.. Once it's flown up into the air I realize that all the DCs stopped and are laughing at me. I stand there smiling for a second, but then think wait a second I have to interact with one of them. I start running over to them and think of yelling to them to wait, as they're walking again. But before I reach them my dream ends..
