Cities in the Astral

08-01-16 I have been letting my daily routine slide for awhile. The quality of these lucids is pretty poor, but for only my 3rd day of getting back into trying, I guess I can not complain. Hey, any lucids beats the hell out of no lucids.

DILD #1 I am working on a pharmacy computer, but it is an old school monitor and I appear to be in a home. The screen makes no sense. I stop and do a general RC (can I remember how I got here? Is there actual noise? And so on) and decide it is a dream. There are messages on the computer. I wonder what my brain will do with this. I press a button to play the messages. A female voice sounds but is nonsensical gibberish. I look around. I am in a bedroom, and some how know this is Brandy's house. I can see DCs moving around in the front room. I want to do something to score points, but the list is not very clear. Any power will score some, I think? I look at a padded dinner bar stool and place my hand on it. I will push my hand through this. For about a 3 count it resists; I relax; my hand phases through it. I went in the front room and Brandy was talking with someone. I tried to get her attention. Before I fully got her to focus on me I was suddenly outside. I woke up at this point because my wife was getting ready for work. At my best I can avoid waking, but LDing has been much less of a focus with all the Brazilian Jiujitsu lately.

DEILD #1 Relaxed and re-entered the same setting using WILD skills. The neighborhood seems to have changed. I am pretty sure this is a dream, but am a bit confused. In order to RC I attempt to use supper strength and jump crazy high. I spring forcefully up and land on top of a house. Ok, RC worked; this is a dream. I remembered the comp and wanted to score points. I heard a lady scream, so I decided I would play super hero. I started running (no longer on house?) trying to be like The Flash. I got the feeling of moving at super speed and the scene blurred out in lines like it might look from Flash's point of view. Everything went black. No visuals would form after this.

WILD #1 I barely woke for my first WBTB and went rapidly into this WILD. I was laying on a bed, but could tell it was a dream. I look around and am back in the strange pharmacy/bedroom. Again there are people in the other room, but I also see my ferrets are running around on the floor. I did a general reality check and it was clearly a dream (huge parts of my vision was made of deep shadows). I examine a very strange carved wooden bed. I went out into the other room and see someone letting one of my ferrets out the door. I went to get my ferret, but it ran. i ran after it, but then relaxed, stopped and called the ferret, which came to me. I wanted to examine the ferret, as it seemed very interesting. I interacted with the DC ferret for a brief while and thought this was actually very cool, but my wife made more noise and I woke up.

WILD #2 I came out of pleasant H.I. and was standing in a hall way. I knew this was a dream as there was no loss of awareness in the transition. I see a lamp stand type of table and it has a piece of pottery on it. I go up to it and place my hand on the pottery wich seems to be some sort of smooth topped jar. The colors look cool and the feel of it is interesting. I walk up the hall, but it does not seem to go anywhere. The light fades and no more visuals would come.
