Ha!
It rained meteors last night! With damage!!



After I first got lucid, in a building, I had to go up stairs to get out. So I flew up them, maybe 30 cm above the floor - and the quality was soo great - super-realistic.
I touched and tasted things - the carpet on these stairs, the metal-rods, which were proper cool and I even licked them. All great - until a guy comes flying down the stairs in the opposite direction. I knew, I should better not look at him - but I did - and so forth.
So I needed a DEILD, but this worked great - I just looked at the back of my eyelids and waited, till a dream came back optically.
I had even moved about a bit - worked anyway. Then I imagined swimming motions - and flupp - I was back in.

Being outside already - I took aim at a high lamp-post, and wrapped myself around it, not to be on the ground for the following action.
It was night - I looked at the sky and commanded meteors - goddess-style - METEORS ARE COMING DOWN NOW !!
First I thought nothing happens, but after a couple of seconds - I saw the first one.
Then came more. All fiery balls speeding down without a sound and with the impact sites out of my sight.
Next to my pole was a swimming-pool, and I wanted one in there - this somehow didn't happen.
There was a telephone on the mast I clung to - and on a whim I took up the receiver and sung into it.
Yepp - I found it sounded great - and the apparatus seemed to work as superb amplifier - that went on for a bit - I really liked my voice...
But then I remembered, that I need to inspect the impact sites.
So I flew to where I had seen earth being spat up in the sky from afar.
What I found was a longish hole in a garden, maybe some eight by two meters, and about three meters deep.
Now I regret not having climbed down to retrieve the meteor and marvel at it. Na well.
But the owner of the place came out of his house, lamenting about how he had just put out seeds for new flowers...

I can't quite remember a prior dream, except one snippet:

I was in a forest, and on one side of the way stood small children in a row, all in white night-gown-like dress, and Jesus, similarly dressed and with pale halo, was walking past them and giving some sort of special blessing. I believe there were other religious leaders there as well, doing different blessings. It was a pretty picture. Like a Catholic devotional painting.

Anyway - next dream - I was taking care of a store, while the owner wasn't there, and a friend of his turned up - a woman, seemingly under some sort of stress, and she asked me if I would let her in - the shop-owner would have promised her, she could store her stuff in the back.
What she brought in was hilarious - a kicker-table with huge chickens as players and a washing machine on a leash - rolling in on its own.

Later I was on the laptop with her - looking for night-clubs to go out to. We came upon a youtube video with recommendations, and suddenly I was in the video. That managed to make me lucid - and like usual - first I flew about a bit and enjoyed that. Then I came down and summoned a meteor for the TOTM. Optics were great this time - no problems whatsoever.

Something of the size of a football came down from the sky, really fast, and I was pretty pleased with myself - looking forward to major catastrophic events with flood wave and earth crust igniting and whatnot.
Nope - the thing bounced off the ground several times, and when I followed it - it was a simple harmless football.
Damn.

Again after considerable dryness - finally lucid. I woke up naturally after 4 h and thought about having a lucid dream, tried affirmations, raise expectation - the usual, but not for long.

When I became lucid, it was after a lot of of another dream - but it held up quite long anyway.
No loss of optics this time - what I found, is that it is good not to swivel the head about wildly but taking it slowly, bit by bit, initially. So I really raised my eyes super-slowly and all fell into place.
Not sure, if it was a DEILD at one point, because I thought, I had woken up, everything was grey - but then I saw something in the distance again. I guess it was, but I didn't get to feel my body in bed, like usual.

I tried the gravity RC - three times all together - worked wonderful. I just raised my arms and tried to feel their weight - and that led to them floating up, and me with them, if I wanted.

I was in a friend's room and we talked and she showed me pictures, she had painted - then I wanted to take her out flying with me, but somehow she disappeared in the process.

Problem is - I slept on and had another dream afterwards, without journalling the LD, and now I'm not sure anymore, how the transitions worked exactly.

I just know, that at one point, I was on a very high roof again - like church-tower hight - did my RC and jumped and managed to get a swimming-motion free flight together. Been dropping initially, but then it worked. Just so - arms in the direction I wanted - and just so.

While coming down, I flew over a running black stallion and came down in the saddle and rode a bit - which was great - but then somehow I lost the horse under me - flew over it again by mistake and it took off.

When I came down, finally I thought, I should get something done for the TOTM.
I hadn't looked it up, what they actually were - thought about all the suggestions for basic tasks, and decided that repeat day must be among them.

My earliest ever TOTM!
Hooded African American guy: Yo Nigger! Steph: Yo Nigger! Guy: Yo Niggger!! Steph: Yo Niggger!! Guy: Shakes his head and is off.
It's because I watch 'The Wire' at the moment - and he started it!
By the way - I wasn't sure, if I had to do that - and so I also mimicked his behaviour - tried to.
I guess it must have looked hilarious, me trying to be gangsta-cool - his head-shake felt like expressing disdain at my cultural incompetence.

Yeah - and then I stood there and thought about getting a meteor going, but somehow I lacked the confidence to go about it. And nothing much further happened.
Still not happy with the optical quality - they used to be so brilliant, and hyper-realistic and colourful at times in the past - I want that!! It was all in a bit subdued, darkish colours.
At least no blindness!
