    Lucid from Buried Rings in the Ground - Basic TOTM with Cryptic Answer - Hovercrafting

    by , 02-09-2014 at 12:10 PM (614 Views)
    I recognized a dream-sign, which had only shown up once before and got luucid again last night!
    Compared to two days of doing nothing before - I had done maybe 5 RCs in the day and matraed a bit going to bed, and when I naturally woke up and went back to sleep.

    Again I dreamt of digging a bit into the ground for some reason, and finding lots of different finger rings.
    I had dreamt exactly that some weeks before, and so remembering that - I got lucid from it.
    No need to RC - I was instantly convinced.

    And the dream was really vivid and realistic - I didn't want to change something and risk loosing quality.
    But I made a small pause to recollect what all I had planned for an LD - checked if I know exactly what is the case and engaged all my senses - which worked very nicely.
    Usually it doesn't and I sometimes lost lucidity hunting down dream-senses - not this time.

    For taste I licked a tree, since my dream-teeth wouldn't let my take a bite - or the tree was very resilient.
    It tasted salty.
    What I kept doing throughout was hand-rubbing and touching things.

    It was a really beautiful landscape - much better than I usually LD together - a bit fairy-taly - but nothing completely mad.
    There were plants, like they don't exist - with interestingly shaped leaves and white and violet flowers.
    Beautiful weather and a deep blue sky with some fluffy white clouds - sun shining and giving a fine warmth, like spring.

    I walked about and then hovered.
    Doing experiments with the hovering - getting up was instantaneous - but for the first time I really played with it - direct the height, fly in hover mode in such and such a height and such and such a speed.

    I had to practise a bit but got it down real nicely - except for getting an impression of long distance and high speed, where other forms of flight might fit better - I think, I will be a hover-fan now!

    I did remember darts - but was worried to destroy the beauty of this fairy-tale landscape and get something less enticing.
    So I thought - lets at least do a basic TOTM, when I cam to a little valley with two houses.
    Also fantastic looking - the one I entered had a door which consisted of very intricate webbing of branches into patterns - looked great.

    So I went in in the expectation to find a DC for asking the question.
    That seemed nicer than summoning dog-food.

    A woman in her fifties, very good looking with black hair and a red dress and some strange jewellery was behind the bar - it was a pub or café of some sort inside.
    So I sat down on a bar stool and asked her, who my true love would be.
    She got a conspirational look on her face, took out a piece of paper and pen and wrote down a sentence - one word per line.
    And I couldn't read it - the letters were clear and I could read it as in read it out loud, but didn't understand it. So I asked what it means - and she said, it would be in a language, I was yet to learn.
    A mix of Latin and something else. It became apparent then, that there was indeed Latin shining through the words.
    She said - once I learn that other language - I would know the answer, too.


    Forgot to mention - I looked into a mirror too - and I looked like I am supposed to look - just that I have a new short haircut and not in that reflection. But I didn't notice that.

      That's a cool interaction; you'll have to learn Latin now! Do you still remember the words themselves? (lol, google translate?)

      Hovering sure sounds fun when you describe it. I've never really played with hovering consciously, I suppose I rather like the use of legs...

      As for other forms of flight for long distance and high speed, I usually wind my energy up and then shoot my spirit off to the next destination like one of those pin-ball machines (or a giant slingshot) if I don't want to deal with any portals or the like.

      Unfortunately I didn't even remember the words directly afterwards.
      I had some Latin in school - and endings and such did look like it - maybe it is a hint at something - I know somebody from Latvia - that's a language influenced by Latin to a big degree.
      Just came to my mind now - I hope, I didn't mean it - long while ago I had a crush on him - but he was more interested in the guys..
      No - just joking.
      Married after all!

      I really like hovering - sometimes I start to unwittingly hover from being lucid alone - but I didn't play with height and getting somewhere yet before.
      Once I did a superwoman style thing - arm almost directly up - and shot away at such a speed - almost into space it felt.
      Got scared - really scared - *sigh* - next time!

      I sometimes "zoom" somewhere - probably similar to your pinball thing, but without an elastic feel in it.
      Just optically zooming in - and bam - I'm there!
