Method - interuppted sleep (travel lodge). BT - 12.00ish - LD around 5.00
Comments - I think there must have been some noise from outside my room (perhaps another guest leaving and closing their door in the corridor) that got incorporated into the dream as the falling debris - certainly this seemed to totally change the direction of the dream.

Longish NLD I am rushing around trying to find some stolen cutlery, I pop out onto Gamul terrace in Chester and am about to search somewhere else when I hear this whizzing crashing noise, I look around immediately. I am looking down hill across the medieval walls and over the river dee to an open field and see a piece of wreakage scream down from the sky and smack into the earth around 50m away with a sort of BOOOM. I kinda of gasp and my brain rejigs and I look up and there is this massive 747 jet liner with smoke pouring from its partially missing wing roaring downward toward the earth. It is so close, so breathtakingly real I think WOW - holy crap I am about to see a plane crash from 50m away - and then I think 'its a dream - and its that simple I'm lucid. I start spinning around. I been thinking about trying this as opposed to rubbing my hands and in fact I do both. I can feel my eyes flick back in forth in my head (I speculated about this and it certainly feels very real). I start to panic abit about being alone in the big lucid world but keep going, controlled spin and rub. The visuals have stabilised somewhat and I slap the terrace stone work. (The plane is now nowhere to be seen). But I appear to be completely deaf. I decide to go flying before I lose the dream and jump and drift up, I seem to have little motion, and I think about NyxCC's and my conversation about the lack of tactile sensation with flying. But rather than lose the dream all this introspection (+ a bit of a hangover!) lead me to stay in the dream but lose lucidity. The NLD continues for a few minutes before I wake up.

Thougths - the plane crash - the sound of the first bit of wreakage slamming home, then seeing the jet following it at a breakneck speed was so realistic, so awe inspiring it remains an incredibly vivid image - as real as any 'real' memory. It really gives me a buzz as to how 'real' dreams can be.
Also the OKN eye movement during the spinning was really interesting - will try again soon.
