Serenity's Silver Millennium

Beatles in prison!
I was a security guard for my current building, but the building itself held a much different purpose. In the basement, we were holding the Hamburg-age Beatles prisoner. Not entirely sure why... I concocted a plan to get them out so they wouldn't miss their gigs.

By the time I started the dream, I had already done my part to get them out. Nobody had noticed they were even gone. I was patrolling the basement and came to the north stairwell, where I encountered their instruments. Ohhh shit! Susanna (RL friend of mine) fell through!! Getting the instruments to them was her responsibility!

I started trying to make phone calls, contacting people who could help me get them their instruments, but no luck. I tried to phone Paul, to let him know what happened, and the owner of the building answered. My employer. I sincerely hope he doesn't have me on call ID.

"I'm sorry, who's this?" I say, trying to disguise my voice.

"Marissa Hampton," the voice says, impatiently. She either doesn't know, or she isn't letting it on...

"I'm trying to reach Paul, I thought this was his phone number!" I continued.

"Well, he's indisposed of at the moment," she said and hung up on me. I think I'm in the clear!

There's this odd little bit where I hear someone coming into the basement. I hear a woman's voice, so I hide under the sinks in the men's washroom. She comes into the men's room though, to use the toilet She sees me when she's done, and I made some stupid comment about fancying hiding underneath washroom sinks. She says she won't tell anyone.

Paul and the lads finally returned, and I greeted them remorsefully about their instruments. Paul assured me it was okay, they actually didn't need them today.

Woke up here to WILD, but it failed because I'm a wuss. No, seriously, I kept breaking SP because it was making me all achy and itchy. I need to man up for my next attempt

The Dream WILD - Lucid - 3/5
I'm in a dorm with a bunch of people. Nola, from my radio job is acting VERY kooky. Slightly insane. Can't recall what she was saying, but she was keeping everyone awake. I remember guiding her back to her bed and saying, "It's time to sleep now, Nola!"

"Okay, Serenity!"

I crawled back into my bed. I was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Everyone has their dream partners for tonight?"

"Yesssss," a grumbling mumble answers me.

"Good," I say.

I close my eyes and I picture the hallway of a house. Almost immediately, the image surrounds me in 3D. "Holy crap!" I thought. "That surprised me! Wow, it's all 3D and pretty solid already. I know I'm dreaming. I don't remember a gap in consciousness. I think I finally WILD'ed!" I was overjoyed, but I kept my cool. I started carefully exploring the house, by walking down the stairs. I saw Darren approach me and I thought, "I should stabilize before anything starts to happen." I rubbed my hands together, and the dream dissolved.

When I woke up, I realized I just had a WILD within a ND. That was a very cool experience! I wonder... is that what a visual transition should look like, when I get there? You think of something, and it kind of just whooshes around you into 3D? Anyways, I tried to fall back to sleep and chained back into the house from my dream WILD.

It wasn't as solid this time. I was standing in the living room, that overlooked another level to the house. It was like this second-level living room was my and Darren's personal space of the house. However, the room next to me was an open-plan kitchen (no separating walls to distinguish the rooms) and my parents were making breakfast. Dream dissolved.

Dream dinner - Lucid - 2/5
I joined this line up for some food. It wasn't very easy to tell where the line up started.

Then, we saw some other people jumping the queue, and starting their line up in what was admittedly a better position. But it pissed us off and we started shouting "Hey, there's a queue!" and they began taunting us.

We somehow managed to take our spots back by cutting in front of them when there was a gap in the line. I told everyone to run for it.

We get inside and we're greeted by this lady looking like she could be working for Oktoberfest. She had a tray of veggie things and potatoes and the like. I got some dumplings and rice from her.

Behind her, there was an array of plates full of breaded fish and chicken, but for some reason, we weren't allowed to eat them. She kept blocking my path and saying they were for dinner. I said they'd be cold by dinner.

I got a burger and joined some strangers to eat. Not much here, other than one girl didn't know where i got the dumplings from. Oh, and she told me this was a dream dinner. We could order anything we could have wanted in a dream.

[Woke up and chained]
I'm on the roof of the same restaurant. Its flying down to join a main building. I had to crouch in to avoid getting knocked off. The guy controlling the building's flight was impressed and said I should be a sorcerer's apprentice. I was game for that.

[The deer. Scene jump, possibly another chain, can't remember]
I saw a very aggressive deer attacking a fence. "This is a dream!" I thought to myself. "About fucking time I recognized one!" ("This is a dream" is my MILD mantra).

The deer saw me and started to charge at me. I jumped up to fly. However, gravity pulled me back down. "WTF?" I thought. I tried jumping again. This time was more successful, but the deer started floating with me I decided to blast it with some fire, but... nothing came out.

Frustrated now with my lack of control, I tried just blasting it away with energy shocks. It kind of worked, but it turned into a dog. And the dog was still quite pissed off and bitey.

I tried blasting the dog with fire and nothing So, in a last ditch effort to change the attack, I threw a shield around myself, closed my eyes and fell to the ground.

To my surprise, the dog started licking me! I opened my eyes and started petting the dog. He rolled over to his side for a belly-rub. I propped myself up on one arm and kept petting him. "So, why did you stop attacking me?" I asked him. "Is it because I gave in, into a submissive stance?"

The dog nodded.

"I guess I shouldn't really do that next time though," I pondered.

The dog nodded in agreement. "The attacks may not always stop," it said, wisely.
