I've totally been slacking lately with the dream journaling, but I figured I'd write this weird experience down. I woke up several times this morning, and kept immediately falling asleep. I was having this (non-lucid) dream about me and a friend (I don't know who) at a theme park type thing. It was huge and took up a whole canyon. The problem was that there were bad guys in the park that wanted to hurt us. So we fought the bad guys.

We kept finding "loot" as if we were playing a roguelike. I found a ring that let me fly, run incredibly fast, hit incredibly hard, and jump incredibly high. I used it to fight the bad guys, but if I ever used it for doing something other than fighting bad guys, it would disappear and I'd have to get it from the spot that I got it from last time. Over time, it burned my finger from over-use.

I woke up, remembered my dream briefly, and lied back in the bed with the intention of going back to sleep. I remembered what my dream was about very vividly, and I remembered exactly what I was doing when I stopped dreaming. So then I started imagining what would have happened if I had continued, kind of like a day dream. Over the next couple of minutes, my daydream became a real dream, and I basically picked up where I left off. But then I remembered that I was just daydreaming or something. So I tried to stabilize the dream. It worked. I could still feel myself lying in bed, but I wasn't seeing the back of my eyelids. I started running around, but I realized that I needed to go get the ring to be able to fly. But then I stopped myself and said "Wait, no I don't. This is my dream. I don't need to let a imaginary ring tell me what I can and can't do." So I started jumping and trying to hold myself there, and eventually I could kind of glide. But I wasn't completely successful. So I started running, and I could run as fast as I did with the ring.

I did some other stuff. Like, I went on the other side of the canyon, and using my new speed, I ran through this zoo exhibit thing they had over there. I remember goats, yaks, and something else. I think I was afraid of the yak. Which is funny because I did lose a level 8 character to a Yak last night on Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (a roguelike). I found a big slide ride, the lady there told me it was like a mile long, and I rode it. And it was cool.

Then I kamehameha'd some trees cause seriosuly, what's a good lucid dream without shooting laser beams. That didn't really work because I have a hard time imagining what a tree getting destroyed by a laser beam would look like.
