lucid

8:04 AM - 1/5/2012

I'm at school and I have a netbook that I am using to browse FJ while walking to lit class. While walking there I ask someone if the teacher gave us a lot of work and they said yes and made some sort of simile. I sit down in lit and while browsing FJ a comic convinces me to shake the computer which reloads all my tabs, one of which I remember had japanese or korean writing on it, and then I start browsing through my FB feed, which has mostly pictures of girls duckfaces, but I feel like a stalker so I stop. After closing the tab, I am in the place where the last picture was taken, which is a picture of a few of my friends at some restaurant. It's night and from our table I can see out the window and I notice that there is a building that is reflecting something really bright. As I walk over to the window for a closer look, I notice there is a river between me and the building and I also see that the building is actually the Burj Khalifa and is reflecting some really small building. I exclaim, "Why am I in fucking Dubai?" and with that exclamation comes the realization that this is a dream. I turn around, everything in the restaurant is a little shaky and then I wake up.

I'm walking down the left bank of a river which has two thin trails on either side. Its night and I am walking uphill and upstream, the river is fast moving. A boat goes down the river, then a helicopter (flying of course), and then another smaller boat. The helicopter is one of those longer military helicopters. When the last boat goes down the river it comes to a T-section and turns left (my right) and then hits directly into another, bigger boat at which point I realize how ridiculous this whole situation is and realize it is a dream.
Immediately I try to make it brighter because it is really dark and honestly I'm scared of what might happen in a dark lucid dream. I can't seem to get it to work like I have in the past so I change dream scenes, I think I closed my eyes and opened them again but I can't quite remember how. Out of the next two dream scenes one of them was in my room, in each dream scene I was unable to make it brighter and then eventually woke up.

I want to preface this with the fact that I learned how to teleport in a normal dream but I seem to have been using the skill ever since in other normal dreams and in lucid dreams.

I would say this is a semi-lucid because although there was a lot of realism and I didn't really think straight.

I'm walking down the street at night with J. There is a fence to the left of him and a sidewalk to the right of that and open pavement to the right of that. We are on the side walk. There is a low building with a parking lot in the distance which we are walking towards. I'm practicing short range teleportation having fun annoying J. I'm just teleporting on every side of him to annoy him and I found out I have trouble teleporting and changing my angle a lot. I can teleport easily to any location but it is more difficult for me to face the direction I want immediately upon teleportation. Then I decide I want it to be daytime so I rotate the sky. I start by raising both arms in the air and get to work. The first rotating attempt (it's hard work) made all the starts shimmer. The next time the stars rotated out of view on an axis perpendicular to the street (so I guess we were walking west or east) but it was still dark. The next ry blotches of dark red came into view as if for a sunrise. I start thinking about wanting to see a pretty sunset and the dream fades away.

Before all this I remember fragments of fighting against some kind of Voldemort hybrid and watching American Horror Story (not at the same time of course).

I am semi lucid but I can't remember much about the beginning of the dream. I was sort of Lord of the Rings themed with lots of sex. Someone betrayed us exactly like Saurumon. I was going over to have sex with huge hordes of enemies, for some odd reason that would help. I think I left the dream and then came back (in the dream).

After that I am fairly lucid and I fly out through my frond door and fly over the powerlines. My legs are dangling awkwardly. I remember it felt fucking incredible! Its a cloudy day. I fly down over the hill and a car comes by and I drop down because I remember I want to ride a motorcycle while signalling the car to stop. Great vividness and realism in that part!

I'm posting this as one dream because it all happened during one REM cycle.

My family and I, without my brother, are going on a trip through Arab territory through the desert. We need some sort of protection so I try to take advantage of my kung fu skills (I do kung fu IRL) and find a weapon but all I can find are these weird plastic weapons. They have metal blades but plastic handles. There is what looks like a katana but the blade is actually really short on closer inspection and the handle is really long. Then there is another really long handle with a right angle blade on it. Both of the blades are incredibly loose so they are generally useless (not to mention that nobody actually knows how to fight with an awkward katana or an L). After that my dad tries to put on a turban but I tear it off his head saying he looked ridiculous and would get us killed. The turban was a light purple, made of a towel with a very smooth obviously not-turban material.

After this I randomly became lucid and was with my friends K, A and some others under what seemed to be some sort of overpass unlike any I had ever seen before. It was almost completely enclosed, made of really big cobbled stones with giant square pillars and water to the left of the road from where we are standing in a cul-de-sac. There are steps leading into the water between the pillars. I summon a silver Ferrari California and get in with one of my friends, I think it was A. When I get in, the parking brake doesn't work, i.e. when it is in park it moves forward unless I press the brake. I also noticed the shifter, it was backlit with orange light and looked like a manual because it had a bunch of gears, yet it was a straight line so it had to be automatic. I wasn't doing any shifting anyways so it didn't make a difference. I do a lap under the overpass, drifting and stuff. There is a giant truck, I'm not sure if it was on the way forward or the way back which I swerve to the left of the pillar and over the steps to avoid. Lots of drifting going on here. After that, I don't remember how I got there but I was on the side of the highway and I realized I should try to stabilize the LD. So I started doing palpitations and peeking and everything starts coming into focus. My hands are really weird looking, they are red and swollen and my fingernails are really small and keep changing size. I am looking at the large evergreen and pine trees off the highway where I am and they start to come into focus as I continue to "peek". There isn't any shoulder on the highway and there is just a hill leading down to the forest where I am standing. The sky is blue in the background. After that the dream slips away.

I prepare for a DEILD. I see a hypnagognic image which is a square pumpkin face and focus and relax my body to go into another dream. I feel the awesome sensation of falling into a dream which in this case felt like I was falling sideways for a couple hundred feet at high speed. I end up in my bed and RC but it wasn't a dream I think it was because I was worried I would forget everything because my recall has been crap lately so I wasn't too upset.
