Cities in the Astral

01/26/15 I was in the hotel again and had lots of time for sleep. I set my alarm for 8 hours and planned on Alarm DEILD for the last hour.

I succeeded at 6 DEILDs of 9 minutes each. The first 4 were not so special so I will lump them all together. Themes included finding myself asleep on a bed at Walmart and walking around. I found the deli and ate part of a breakfast burrito. Then went out into the parking lot. I found a DC of an old friend out there in a car and visited with him. In one I appeared in a park behind some odd building and another old friend DC showed up and asked if I recognized the place from real life. A rest room building like in a park appeared, and I sort of remembered that it must be the little tiny park across from my junior high, and the other building was the back side of the public pool. I walked with him around the restrooms and we were then on a board walk and I looked at the store front nearest me. Nothing exciting here. In another I appeared sitting on the hotel bed, but 3 other people were in the room. I saw a large squash sitting nearby and picked it up. It grew larger tahn a pumkin. I started joking with the DCs and held the squash up to my belly laughing that under my shirt it would make me look pregnant. They suggested I do that, but I thought that was kind of stupid to waste lucid time on. I could just become a pregnat woman after all (maybe, sound like a challenging morph). I decided to cut the squash up and cook it and then serve it to these DCs and see if I could make it taste good. It fell into slices without the need to do anything and a pot of boiling water appeared. I dropped a piece in and it swelled up like those sponge toys. I poked at it with a fork, finding the whole texture and general appearance novel and fun. One of the DC scooped off a chunk and said it was nasty. I messed around with it a bit more before the next DEILD. I also had one with limited recall that just involved interacting with DCs.

I felt no need to fly or use super powers. I just had 4 fun 9 minute romps doing nothing worth while, but was completely fine with that. Then it got weird...
