I go into my Inner World, and meet my non-Lucid Self. We are sitting on a cliff over looking the ocean. There is an chocolate volcano island in front of us. He looks like me in jeans and a red t-shirt.
"Hey buddy, why can't you be lucid."
"My name is Jerry."
"Okay, that's weird, I don't like that name."
"Exactly. Germans were called Jerrys in world war two by Americans."
"You mean the Nazis."
"I mean the German Soldiers. The Nazis were a political party."
"Yes, whatever. So, why the hell is your name Jerry when that's not my name, and I don't like it."
"Jerry's kids. You dated a girl with cerebral palsy. Jerry Lewis, cheesy comedian. But, he's kinda funny."
"Okay..."
"You're ashamed to be German."
"No, I'm not."
"Why don't you research German history?"
"My people weren't even called Germans when we left Europe to go to America."
"Well, that's a start."
"You're ashamed to be non-lucid."
"No, I'm not."
"You do stupid things when you're not lucid."
"Hey! I only had sex with a unicorn once."
"Let's not go there."
"So, Jerry, you are saying my non-lucidity, or you, my alter ego, your existence is somehow tide to my subconscious shame?"
"Bingo."
"I hate it when people say that."
"Don't blame me. I do a lot of dumb dumb stuff that you don't like, like have sex on the sidewalk during the day with people walking by."
"That's in my Inner World! It's fine."
"Then why are you blushing?"
"I feel stupid. You're right."
"You feel stupid? I feel stupid! I'm the one doing all these weird things."
"So, I need to release my shame somehow in order to become lucid more often?"
Jerry nods. I go to hug him, and then he turns into some kind of weird vampire demon monster and bites me on the shoulder. The whole world turns into a grey graveyard. Zombie versions of people I know that have died come out of the graves and ask me, "WHY? WHY?"
I scream in sheer terror, then a rage overcomes me, and I grab the Jerry monster and rip him in half.
I am suddenly in a White Void.
I hear the hollow laughter of Morpheus, god of dreams echoing all around me.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #150: Eden

I'm in a vast, quiet white void. There's a woman here as well, long brown hair, late 20s. She's not a romantic interest but rather a colleague and collaborator on some kind of important project.

We're looking down from high above at a nearly featureless white room floating in the void. Two DCs are in the room, one male and one female, both of them controlled by us. The male is my avatar and the female is hers. While I'm thinking about this, the notion of dreaming crosses my mind and I become lucid.

She says something like, "This is how we create everything." I know she means that this is how we create a dream world.

There's a door in each wall of the white room and we each guide our avatars out through separate doors into two different new rooms. A nearly identical scene takes place in each room: each avatar steps into another nearly featureless white room that contains a DC of the opposite gender. In each room the female gently places one arm around the male's shoulders and lays him down on his back. Then, the female straddles the male like something sexy is about to happen, but she only sits like this for the briefest moment (both of them fully clothed.)

Now the couple stands up, accompanied by a newly created, fully-grown DC! (My avatar produces a "daughter" and my collaborator produces a "son".) Then each of the three DCs exits through different doors into a newly-created room, each of them encountering a DC of the opposite sex. And then the scene repeats again, the woman in each room laying her arm across the man's shoulders, lowering him to the ground, and winding up as a trio.

Each round of this doesn't take long and in just a few moment what was once a single white room is this sprawling network of hallways and chambers where DCs walk outward like ants. Some of the DCs eventually come to doors that lead them out onto a grassy hillside. As they spread further out, the hillside grows along with them. Soon there's land everywhere with DCs walking all around.

My view pulls further and further back and I see dirt roads, a stream, a little town. I'm having a hard time keeping up with how quickly all of this is happening. I make some remark about how beautiful this is and I sense something like silent agreement from my collaborator.

I decide that I want to explore this world more closely and immediately I find myself standing in the middle of one of those white rooms. I walk through a door up ahead of me and emerge into another white room. The idea of trying to complete some tasks finally occurs to me, but the dream ends pretty soon after that.
