Cities in the Astral

Wow! I have been actually getting to spend quality time with my deceased father! I knew high end LD mastery would lead to mystical ends, but this is WILD (punny). I have had all sorts of precog dreams, met many entities from astral worlds, and other crazy stuff, but untill May I had no one close to me who died.
i seem to be able to reach my Dad and spend time with him, although I feel more like it is him contacting me. So, this is the 6th dream in which he has appeared and seemed way more thatn a DC. I have been fully aware that it is a dream and that he recently passe away during the dreams.

In this one, i was having a vivid Ld and there was a party going on. I was not trying to control anything, as it was a work night and I needed the mental relaxation of a casual LD party. I have only a casual recall of the things that happened, but it was fun and busy. I am not concerned with writting any of that stuff though.

The realy intense part starts when my dad walked up out of the crowd and puts an arm around my shoulder. It was clear he wa snot a DC. He talked with me for awhile about my life, and we meandeed around the party. Fianlly he says "I have been able to free dive on the coral reefs of the Bahamas and I do weird things like follow the course of green feather duster worms (?what?), it is great!". he said he was going back to do it some more and would see me again later.

He turned and suddenly walked away and out a door. I followed after him, and reached out for his shoulder. He turned around, but looked like someone else. I have learned through working with dream guides who to see through illusion, and I could tell it was still him.

I laughed and said "that is funny, like the classic dream image. i follow you, but it turns out not to be you. I am better at this stuff than that! I can see you through the illusion."

He turned back into dad they way I remember him and looked angry, and said "don't be like this (clingy?)"

I said "I just wanted to shake your hand and actually say good bye." he smiled and shook my hand warmly and then faded from view.

I returned through the door into the party, and someone asked if it was raining. They were talking about the tears of joy running down my dream bodies cheeks. I did not care much what happened in the LD after that, and soon lost lucidity. Dur~?10 min
