    I Am Darth Vader

    #400 - DILD - 8:33AM

    I have a long dream that I am reading a handwritten story about surviving the zombie apocalypse on post-it notes and notebook paper. As I am reading I am in the story observing things as I find pieces of paper with the next segment of the story. I don't recall everything as a lot happened that didn't make much sense.

    I have an FA and find my cousin Jared with guns and heavy artillery. He's prepping for an attack. Then he has a suction cup ball that he throws around.



    The ball is spewing out some kind of water color and I think of the color run but it's all over my bedroom walls. I hope it will wash. The ball comes my way and paint gets in my mouth. I sit up and choke on it a bit then tell Jared about my dream.

    *memory gap*

    This maybe be a different new dream but I am in some Star Wars setting going down corridors and triggering switches. I have entered some robotic body like a mech suit or something similar. It's hard to recall all that happened but it all very video game like. during the next part I gradually become lucid without any real 'ah ha' moment. I am done with whatever I was doing and come to a new area. I see the crumbled body of Darth Vader in a corner. There seems to be some metallic connecting points in his torso and I decide that I should be able to embody him like I did with the robot. I set over him and sink in. I see the dark uniform cover my body and I stand up. I hear my Darth Vader breathing sound, "Ruuuuu. ppppprt. Ruuuuuuuu. ppppppprt." I feel dark and powerful and continue down a new set of corridors. I can' remember all that I did but activate switches, force jump over gaps, and use the force to move objects. I move swiftly through the obstacles with ease. I come the end of one section. There is a colorful panel on the floor. I decide it must the an elevator platform. I stand on it and it descends to darkness. I worry about the void here and focus on seeing the next section. After a moment I see that I am on a high catwalk with a yellow rail. I am facing the rail and decide to vault over it. I think about my method but for some reason force jumping over seems too hard. Instead I put my hands on the rail and launch a flip over the side. I worry about the visual of spinning destabilizing the dream and actually slow things down so its not too disorienting.

    At the bottom and I land firmly and am facing a some sliding glass doors like at a grocery story. I use the force to open them and step out into a bright sunny day. The landscape is arid and desolate. The parking lot is cracked with weeds growing and there are no cars around. In the distance I see a vast dessert like on Tatooine. I feel lost here and unsure what to do next. I look around and see shopping carts strewn about. I use the force to throw them around. One cart lands at the feet of a dark skinned bald woman in light brown robes. Her eye narrow and she assumes a fighting stance. I realize I have started a fight with a Jedi and quickly send several shopping carts in her direction. She vanishes before my eyes just before the carts hit her. I wonder what new force power this. I am very intrigued. I wonder if she really vanished or if she was just invisible. I reach out and grab a shopping cart in each hand and begin spinning hoping to hit her if she gets near me. This destabilizes the dream and I wake up.

    I quickly DEILD and visually reenter the dream. No SP or vibrations this time. I am not Darth Vader anymore but I am walking down a long gray Star Wars corridor. I pass a mirror and pause. Though I am mostly bald, I have white hair that looks a lot like Will Ferrel in Zoonlander without the part. Also, I am wearing something that looks a lot like Raiment of Arden-Sul from Shivering Isle expansion in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. (I was playing last night)

    I find the hair very distracting and I mostly want to see what I look like bald. I adjust myself so that my hair is cut of at the top of the mirror. Somehow I turn my head to the left with out changing my view. have hair on the side and back but the top is so bald. I decide I won't look too bad if I ever loose my hair in the future. Satisfied, I wonder what to do next. LSD! I finally remember my dream goal. I want to do some LSD and see what my best guess of the drug would be like in a dream. Unfortunately, this when my body decides to wake up for good.

      #400!! Congratulations, dude, that's so cool! I still remember back when you had #200 and thinking how insane that was. And you've doubled that since then!

      Great job... you continue to impress and inspire me with all of your crazy lucid antics.

      This was a good one, too; loved all of the Force powers that you employed in this one! It was especially perfect because you had such a Star Wars-saturated dream setting in this one. When you came up on the empty parking lot with grocery carts parked all around, for some reason I got a visual sort of like Fallout 3 and the grocery store filled with looters near where you first exit the vault. (IIRC, been a while.)

      LOL @ your Will Ferell hair. At least you didn't have the part!

      Speaking of Elder Scrolls, I finally started playing just a bit of Skyrim. I'm impressed that you can remember the individual names for things... there's so much stuff in those games!

      Congratulations on the lucids and the successful G night!

      Way to go, man! Congrats on the 400th!!! What a better way to celebrate than a SW ld? That was a really cool dream, so much use of the force and making the DC disappear! Just reading this makes me feel super excited!

      Wish you many more awesome lds like this one!

      Thanks dude. Of all the time I've known about LD I should have a much higher count. I guess it's only been recently that I have really kicked things into high gear.

      Yes, that last part was very Fallout-ish. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Also,I'm not sure where all the Star Wars content came from but I sure enjoyed it. I can only image what I'll think this December when 7 comes out.

      If I were to grade my level of lucidity from 1-10 ,(10 being the highest) I'd say I started at a 1 and gradually increased to 6 or 7 there in that last bit. There definitely seems to be something to be said about low level LDs and content/control. Or perhaps it's DILD vs. WILD. Although, the latter seems to be more high level, I think I'm on to something here. Certain things just can't be forced; If I could somehow maintain a balance of high level lucidity but with a low level mindset I think it be in the sweet spot for epic LDs. Maybe that's happened before... I think it has.
      EDIT: After posting my latest LD, I realize I maybe completely (or partly) wrong here

      Oh Skyrim! I could get lost in that world forever. I only recalled the details because I had just played that part the night before. Still, I didn't quite remember the name and especially the spelling until I looked it up.

      Just saw the Skyrim line of the conversation. Have you faced Miraak yet? This guy keeps popping up and steals my dragon souls!
