The Castle oddity
07/08/20
Lucid #16 - DILD

I’m in the back seat of a car driving down the road through my childhood village with my friends. I suddenly become aware this is odd, and feel as though what I’m experiencing isn’t real. “It’s time to move into the second act!” I chuckle to myself, feeling as though my current situation is a movie and things are going to get interesting. The car starts moving up a hill and I look out of the back window and see the familiar village from my childhood but in the distance there is a medieval kingdom and a large castle!? I know that shouldn’t be there and start to slowly become aware it’s because I’m dreaming.

Lucidity is low but I sense the dream is unstable so I start to feel the fabric on the car seats and look at my hands, concentrating on the realism which is very lifelike. Things get a bit vague here but I’m floating or flying down the road after and trying to grab a moving truck that’s coming my way. I grab the truck and hold it for a moment and then try to fly to another car but it’s then I notice my vision is failing and the dream ends.
