6:30 AM Poor Recall Quick notes on these recurring locations. There are basically two overall settings in this dream. Both are massively large and "arcing" settings outside either end of my childhood hometown which is a small country town in the Sierra Nevada foothills near Yosemite National Park. The two settings are connected in some way(not just physical transition). The two can mostly be distinguished by the types of "out of place" locations that get mixed in, DC that I see, and % of time I spend looking down compared to being near to the ground. The lower end is further away and mostly West South-West. The upper is closer and located between South-East and North-East. I almost never wonder outside of these areas while in these settings. OK Dream Bit One Outside east end of town a new plaza is constructed, could be open but I don't see any many cars and there is a line of confusing road signs all cluttered and blocking. I think I was headed to the plaza for some reason but I'm not sure why. (note: this may be representative of my waiting to hear back after a job interview.) Dream Bit Two Some points during dream I get areal views that transition me from specific to specific location(but I'm not flying). Outside the west end of town a long dirt road comes down a mountain side curving slowly and steep around through the sparse trees... I transition and wind up at a Large familiar river that is not near my hometown yet somehow resembles a ditch that is. (This mixture of ditch and river is pretty common but always takes a slightly different form.) Today the river was pretty full from a couple tributaries that added to it and was pouring down from a small water fall that I was looking over towards. Good feeling here today.
Lucid - Semi Lucid - Not Lucid First LD WooHoo !! DILD So it all started out as a flying dream. Setting was above a local shopping center parking lot... the way I was flying was to kind of like the way a kite works. It's how I used to fly in my dreams as a child before I knew what LD was. So I basically will myself into the air and float up and catch the wind... faster flying usually starts after Ive bin up for a bit but sometimes its an instant take off. Anyway this time I was using a something like a nozzle from garden hose to kind of redirect air flow lols. After a little while other people were flying too and I was quite high up and showing off a little. Then my uncle David happened to join me and which was cool because I usually fly alone. I had never seen Dave fly and we don't see each other very often. We started to drift and lower in elevation until we touched down on a nearby hill. While we were walking back I though..(hmm we were just flying.. omg I must be dreaming..) So then I decided to test this hypothesis.. rather than remembering to do a typical reality check however I settled on changing something in my environment.. at this time the world was fading and my focus was on Dave.. so .. I said out load "Dave, turn purple" and then he did. It happened fast but not all at once, more like if you put a drop of food coloring into water minus the swirling...anyway I got exited and woke up.
