Venryx

I don't really have a body at this point, but I'm floating above a large plain with many sections, with walls mostly separating them. It's like an RTS game, and I'm in control of one army.

This section of the dream was fairly long, so the order of events is muddled, but I know at various points I switched between floating above the battle, and being on the ground with the troops.

The enemy team was composed of many different unit types, one of which were the common ant-like alien form. Another were transformer-like droids. And then there were also more exotic alien types like those seen in movies and games (particularly mobas).

At some point the battle ends (I think we won), but now I'm on the battlefield with my family, and apparently by its lake. We had been trying to protect the lake as it supplied water for the corn we were trying to plant. However, they had been pushing us back (so yeah, on second thought, neither side had won, the battle just faded/become obsolete dream-wise). This endangered the lake, and changed the dream to us standing there talking about how this meant we had to leave this place--which was apparently in Japan.

Now here's the point where, shortly after someone spoke (a female), I heard a four digit number spoken in the same tone.

At first, I was just confused. "Uhh, what does that even mean?". I thought about it, and after a few seconds, I remembered! "Those are my number prompts!" (thus triggerring lucidity)

At that point I then accessed my short-term audio memory (you know, the special type you can access after-the-fact even if you hadn't been paying attention), and, after some effortful thought, realized they were all odd. (I remember it having the digits 5, 9, and 7)

At this point I was now "lying in bed", however I knew it was most likely a false awakening. I checked with a nose-plug rc, and this was verified. I also looked around, and could see my closet and bedroom door, through my blanket (which is too opaque irl).

It was dark (which was inaccurate), and I could feel I was close to waking, so I tried to remember a dream goal that wouldn't require me to get up. I thought to my quick-list of four, but none of those would work very well in-bed. Then I remembered the questions I had for my subconscious. Those would work well! Except I couldn't remember what they were, and wanted to see if my subconscious would remind me if I looked them up on my tablet.

I grabbed my tablet quickly, opened the Wunderlist app, and started scrolling through the dream goals list. However, most of them were fake ones. The two I remember were: "Get your brains... sucked.. out" and something involving screaming. Obviously those didn't sound pleasant for someone not as skilled with dream control, so I decided to keep looking through (and anyway, those were fake).

I realized though that I *could* do the reality-check goal (forgetting I'd done it a minute earlier). I start reaching my hand up to plug my nose--shoot! I feel my body in a different way, and I know I just broke my dream. I'm dissapointed until I realize, well, at least I had a lucid dream, and remembered three digits of the number prompt that triggerred it. I then started the recollection process. (which didn't take long for such a short lucid segment!)
