Cities in the Astral

08-14-13 DILD
I became lucid when I saw an old friend from decades ago. It was easy to RC and the scene was of little interest to me. It involved a house I lived in long ago. It was abandoned and one of the old crew was asking if they could use the bed. I said "as this is just a dream, I do not care what you do." I then just started enjoying my LD.
A few random things took place and it was fairly ordinary LD stuff for about four minutes. Then I tried to think of something challenging to do. I could not get clear headed enough to think of the TOTM, but remembered I had a task involving going to certain locations.
During this LD I had to stabilize it five times. I used a method of touching my various fingers to my thumb in order. I decided I would find a certain local park and get up on a certain hill, that would warm me up for the travelling challenge. Plus, I could not seem to focus well enough (alcohol in system) to remember the travel destinations.
I exited one room planning on being outside, but entered another room. There was a window on the wall and a DC of my father in the room. I did not want to be distacted from my goal, so I just ignored the DC of my dad and went towards the window,,,,,

IRL my father died about 14 months ago. I had heard one skill a master dream yogi could do was talk to the dead, but prior to this had never had a reason to try. I succeeded in contact 5 times. The last dream led me to think we had said goodbye and would not see eachother again. I assumed he was reincarnating at that time into a crow body, like he planned.
I have seen many ordinary DCs of him in the year just passed, but that was all they were. I assumed this was just another DC, but it was actually him...

As I ran past him he called out. The voice was clear and more like an astral entity than DC. He said, "Wait! This is really me! I have come back! I really am here!"

I stopped and looked at him and sure enough, he had every charectoristic of a true astral entity. I was face to face with my father again. It seems what ever body he took has already died (bummer) do he is in spirit form again. We got to talk for about 3-4 minutes. I told him that I was keeping in touch with his wife and that we were both continuing his work with coral. I told him what I did with his ashes (made reef rock with them, and set up a memorial reef tank) and he burst into tears.
He embraced me with an odd hand grasping thing. Hands grasping each other's fore arms and the left hand grasping the other's right elbow. He became very intensely emotional. I think before he was in denial about truely being dead (he avoided talking about it before.) He expressed many loving things basically proclaiming that he would always find me when we both were incarnated on earth. I called him "brother" and he seemed confused. I told him, "you were my father this time, but that will often change. Perhaps sometimes father, friend, brother, or lover depending on who we are born. Brother is the truest term for this."

Suddenly another entity was in the room. It was in the form of my dad's deceased best friend. It said, "I am sorry, but your time is up. You are needed for a meeting, so you must return now." Dad did not argue and we said good bye and he said it was unclear if/when he could do this again.

I left the room by phasing through the window glass. I then continued in a normal LD. The other DCs were back. I did not want to forget detail but was not ready to wake myself, so I tried to type key words into my phone. A DC of Robb asked me what good it would be as the phone was only in my dreams. I just was reinforcing the key wods, I said.
He tried to hand me a phone saying it was for me. A loud voice started saying something confusing about time, from the phone.
The dream started to fade. I tried my fith stabilzation but a real life itch pulled me awake. Dur ~15 min
