    #53 - Country Road

    by , 03-30-2013 at 12:15 PM (565 Views)
    I was standing in the middle of the road looking down a side road. I was at the junction of a T. All the roads were really wide. It was dusk, and there was nothing else around.

    At first I was intrigued by my location. Then I started getting concerned because I didn't know where I was. I then began to question how I got there and immediately realized I was lucid. I started singing "Country Road" by John Denver because it looked like a country road.

    I thought about a conversation I had with Canis Lucidius about singing in dreams and sounding really good. I sounded terrible in this dream, but I kept singing because it felt so good.

    I started flying, and thought how I should be trying a dream goal.

    Dream Skip

    I'm at a white ranch style home with black shutters and door and such. It is a fancy home for such a simple style house. I fly up to the house and see a man coming out of the door. I contemplate whether I should phase through the wall or take the opportunity to go through the open door. I didn't really want to deal with a DC, but there he was. He was an ugly older gentleman with a huge chin. He was a typical brain-dead DC, so he didn't notice me flying right in front of him.

    I phased through the wall and was then inside. I decided to try to enter my childhood nightmare. I had seen a chimney from the outside, so I looked for the fire place. I thought I could teleport to the demon circle of ashes from the fireplace.

    I was unable to go through the fireplace. I couldn't phase. I turned around to see the house from inside the fireplace and saw the man's wife. She saw me too. I got a face on as though I was the demon. The lady saw me and started having a heart-attack. She was carrying wood in (I guess to bring to the fire-place. I didn't even think about the connection 'till just now.)

    When she saw me in the fire place with an evil look on my face, she leaned over terrified and dropped some of the wood.

    I knew I was dreaming, but I didn't purposefully look evil. I think it was a byproduct of trying to enter my childhood nightmare, finding myself in the fireplace, and not wanting to deal with a DC. Still, I'd rather not be the demon. I just wanted to recreate the nightmare. Hmmmmm.

    I flew out of the fireplace and around the floor, under the dining table and such. I saw the man go outside, and now I decided to surprise him. I decided to phase through the roof and meet him outside to make him wonder how I got out there.

    I think I ended up at a street near my house and soon woke up.


    I used SSILD for the first time in a while.
    I also took care of business yesterday.
    Mowed my friends yard and had a few cold beers.

      LOL. I'm sorry that your singing voice was so bad! I'm glad that you had fun playing John Denver anyway. it's fun isn't it?

      Congratulations on the lucid! It's good to see you round the dream journal section! Had your dream life been going ok the past few weeks?

      Haha! Yea, I did enjoy singing John Denver! I'm glad you've sung in a dream before so you know the deal.

      I've actually been dreaming, yeah, but I started to log only my lucids. It may be a double edged sword. I don't log my dreams, which I used to enjoy, but I have told my mind that I better have some lucids or I won't be journaling at all. Then again, I've been improving my lucid count every year, so that may have nothing to do with it. Either way, I'm glad to have reason to be back on journaling also, and good to talk to you again.

      You were such an integral part of my recent success. I had a great night last night. I chained, and in one I cycled during an FA. It was ridiculous! I'm so glad you told me about SSILD. It's easy, and it seems to work.

      Man, that all sounds great! I'm thrilled that you're having so much success. I guess you're still journaling your NLDs offline, though, right? You always had some good NLDs as well... it'd be a shame to lose those!

      Thanks for the kind words and I'm really glad to hear that SSILD is fitting so well for you! I've been using MILD lately but I always got tons of results out of SSILD! I will definitely have to check out that chain.

      Canis,

      I don't journal my NLDs. I know I should, and I've had a few good ones, but that's OK. Maybe I'll start.

      I get what you mean about wanting to treat lucids as special when you're journaling. That's why I just put lucids in my DreamViews DJ but I record all of my NLDs offline in Google Drive.

      The downside of this approach is having stuff in two places. The upside is not subjecting everyone to any really boring dreams. Or subjecting myself to feeling awkward journaling up a really embarrassing NLD.
