Cities in the Astral

12/14/13 I had as many as 6 LDs last night, but most were short and not worth recording. This one however was very fun and long. I do not remember when I became lucid. I know I had been able to recall a scene prior to this when I woke (maybe it will come back to me). So at some point I went into a fast food restaurant and was behind the counter. The DCs assumed I worked there and two DCs were making hamburger patties and the boss told me to do it too. I normally would just walk off, but I noticed the beef and tools were very vivid. I wondered how real it felt. So I started needing the ground beef and squishing it through my fingers. It was awesome, very tactile and realistic. I was just having fun, so instead of doing the patty making part correctly I pushed the press as hard as I could and made ground beef squirt out the edges. Then I made a beef patty and started to cook it on the grill. It sizzled and seemed pretty real. The boss came over and asked me what I thought I was doing. I said I was hungry. She wanted to know why I was not doing what she told me to do. I told her it was because I did not work there. She said I was so and so and did work there. I just told her I was dreaming and just screwing around. Then I climbed out the drive through window, and went on my marry way.
I eventually saw a very large local park and was on one side of it. I decided to time myself flying across it feet first. I looked at my watch (never wear one IRL) and it was 9:01 I started flying through the park feet first. It was fun and what I would expect, until all the graphics in the dream went black. I told myself I was just flying through a tunnel and not to worry about it. Is there a tunnel in that park. Sure there is, just don't think about it. You will be flying through a tunnel until the visuals come back. I still felt like I was flying feet first, and before long I saw a square that was lighter. See, you are almost out. The visuals did come back and I was flying through a condo complex. That is ok, there is a condo complex midway in the park (not really, but I use this artificial logic on purpose). Now you will be back in the park,,, and so I was.
I came to the end of the park and went to check my watch. I stopped and laughed at myself. Of course my dream watch would not be able to keep time, how silly. Next I saw a road side vender and they had a rack of doughnuts. I wanted one, but no one was around. I looked at the racks, and these were big tasty looking doughnuts. I picked a chocolate one and it was very fresh and broke into 3 pieces. Before I got to taste it some kid DCs were there and said I was stealing. I figure giving DCs something they want is a good way to get them to leave you alone. I pulled out a handful of change and set it down. How much is a doughnut? maybe $2-? Why don't I give you the money and you can pay the guy for my doughnut when he gets back. I started trying to count the change, then figured who cares how much dream money it is. Keep it all.
I never even tasted the doughnut (damn waste of hard earned imaginary money!) I then just flew around feet first on my back. Before long I came upon a party in the walk way of an apartment complex. I wanted to float up all casual like and see what my DCs would do. They were talking about drugs and how they need some more. One of them pointed at me floating all casual and said 'That guy obviously has some good drugs!' Then he started to read a news article about some sheriff saying kids were rubbing drugs into there underwear that absorbed into there skin all day long and they were calling it 'crack'. OMG! My brain just through that out as a random joke. LOL. I woke up after that because I had to use the rest room. Dur- at least 15 minutes but perhaps longer.
