Cities in the Astral

05/25/15 DILD I had been lucid, but just watching from 3rd person, an adventure with a guy and a girl trying to escape from bad guys in an Indiana Jones type setting. They ended up in a dead end cellar room. I decided to join in the dream and help them out.

I shifted to 1st person and now another character (me) was in the room. I caused a new feature to appear in the room sort of like a garbage shoot. I pointed it out and we all escaped sliding down the shoot. I decided not to control where it went and just to let the dream create something.

I was now on a wheeled board zooming down a tunnel and came out into a scene much like a giant water slide. There was a jump in the ride and eventually I slid to a stop out in the middle of a valley. I got off the giant skate board and was near playground equipment. I looked around and saw what must have been a frat house with a party going on. I considered going there to get sexy with some ladies, but decided to stay focused. I could do a task of the month, but what were they? The bonus had to do with all 4 elements, maybe just any cool thing with each? I know the Earth one said to grow a mountain, that is easy enough.

I decided to make a mountain sprout from the ground. I looked to what seemed like north and there were rolling hills. I focused and 'poof' a mountain appeared. No, that is not cool enough, so I turned to the west. There were two tall rugged mountains there with a much lower bluff between them. I made the ground under the bluff swell and churn causing a mountain to begin forming slowly. I slowed it down enough to really watch it erupting from the Earth. It looked a little blocky at times like older C.G. I decided that was because it had a lot of basalt columns and that fixed it, it was rugged, not pixelated. Finally it was much bigger than the two on either side. Mischief Managed!

Now, something about a forest fire or some such? And also some fantastic wind event? I did not have a forest on hand, should I make one? No, lets assume that the mountain is far away (it looks that way) and is covered with trees, but far enough they just are a mass of green. I focused on the mountain and fire and the entire mountain burned. I was not impressed as it was too far to see actual flames, but instead the entire mountain became black and red like cherry embers on a smoldering fire. Well good enough for now, I did torch an entire mountain.

Wind? I caused a wind to blow from behind the mountains and come over the passes between them. I made them tear the mountain into ash and dust and pull it into the sky as a dark cloud. I directed it across the valley and through a big mid air loop and then through the front door of that frat party. Oh hey! There is no water here, so let's go to this party and see if we can do something with their beer kegs or something...

I appeared (teleport) on the door of the party and go in. It is as you would expect for a party and a bar is set up in the corner. I tell a woman to watch a trick and have them pour me a drink with no ice. I imagine the glass frosting and ice forming. It takes about 10 seconds to get it right, but looks great like special effects in a show like X-Men. Ice spreads up the glass and the contents crystallize. Even the bottle the bartender is holding frost and bubbles and makes cracking noises. She looks at the drink and says it is a trick, probably I slipped dry ice in there. I tell her she is correct and decide to go back outside. Maybe I will find a stream just outside (setting the thought in motion). I get out on a balcony and see a stream, but everything turns grey and I feel my body in bed. I do not fight it and just let myself wake.
