The dream started only moments after falling asleep. I seem to wake up in my bed, the T.V. in the room is on the fritz, the controllers I am trying to use are different. In a flash of insight i realise I must be dreaming.

The dream

I get up and start walking toward the living room window which I normally leave the apartment out of. My vision is flashing in and out of focus, my body is heavy, the apartment is dark. After some effort and the recitation of a mantra for extra energy I make it out side. I instantly look up at the stars, there were hundreds or thousands in the sky, I simply stood there and enjoyed the stars of the inner cosmos for a while. I phase out.

I have a false awakening. I am in my bed and find it hard to get up. I do the rope method and pull myself up and out of my body. I imagine in my mind I want to visit a snowy mountain which is under a clear blue sky. I move through the wall and then - pop - I am on the slope of a mountain. People are walking around, some are skiing. I have a short conversation with a person, but I do not recall its details.

Another false awakening. I imagine in my mind I want to visit a tropical paradise. I do not recall how I got there but I am suddenly in a fully formed dream environment. Outside it is dark but the mood is enjoyable, I walk into a large restaurant made of wood and straw, I sit by the bar. There room is happening, people dance slowly next to a stage where there is a band playing, I sit and enjoy myself. I phase out.
