DREAM #12
"LONG ‘N LUCID"
I was in my classroom, revising for a test that was apparently coming up that very day. I was sitting with my friends at the back-left corner of the room. My friend B was there (even though she is in a different class to me), using a strange learning method that involved drawing those stereotypical 'a-square-with-a-triangle-on-top' houses. Also there was my best mate C and I think our friend L.
Then the scene cut to music class where I was with B again. We walked back down the corridor at the back of the room which seemed the same but different somehow (like a parallel universe). Halfway down the hallway a kid I don’t recognize told us it was snowing and then went to tell a teacher for some reason.
Then the scene cut to my street. It was either nighttime or winter as it was dark. I was walking home when I suddenly thought "Oh no! I had an RE exam at school and now I’m going to miss it!" But then I thought "Oh wait. I’m asleep right now, and this is a dream so I don't really have the test. There's nothing to worry about!" but as of yet I was not lucid (because I'm some kind of a retard).
Then I reached my house where my parents' bedroom light was shining through the window. I thought the house looked a bit dim but said "Ah well; no matter. The lights are all going to come on NOW!" I was not willing it to happen with mind power, I just knew that they genuinely were going to switch on at that moment. Anyway, they did along with a load of white Christmas lights. I don't really know what it was but something made me lucid now.
My vision was a little blurry and I could only see out of a small circle, like I was looking through a telescope the wrong way. Something stopped me from yelling "Increase lucidity now!" or anything of the like. I don’t know what, but I just decided against that. On that note, I figured I'd have to do something else to stabilize the dream. I decided that RCs might work, as they would reinforce the feeling and prove that this was a lucid dream.
I looked at my hands. My right hand was normal (or now that I think about it, it may have been the wrong way round – a left hand on my right wrist) but my left hand was quite messed up. I had 5 fingers and 2 thumbs. I clenched my fist and opened up my hand again and it had returned to normal. I couldn’t put my right finger through my left hand nor could I stretch my fingers by pulling on them. So after trying these I did the nose breathing RC, which worked.
I decided to just go with what the dream threw at me. I looked across the road where, in the waking world, a couple, S and S (lulz), live. They have this huge gate in real life and my dream had made it even grander. It was tall and made of iron that had been painted black. The iron bars turned to pointy stakes on top and it all looked pretty menacing.
I walked over to it and heard a register or roll call in progress. I think this Scottish teacher from my school was doing it. In reality there's a set of triplets who are my age who get on the school bus, and according to the register one of them was absent.
I climbed onto the gate and saw a guy called JD from my bus with his mates. One of his mates said to him, "Why has he come here just to ask you for a Polo?" He was on about me. Then the gate opened and all the people inside stampeded out. I told the guy I wasn’t there to ask JD for a Polo but JD said "You can have one anyway." It was a daft thing to say, however, as he was already some 10 metres away from me now and wouldn’t have been able to give me one anyway.
Along with these guys (who were my age), there also were some Year 7s (that’s 6th Graders in the USA, I think) in the crowd. I suddenly remembered my LD Goal, which was to blow things up by pointing at them. So I looked around and saw this (real) camp guy from 7H. I pointed at him and tried to blow him up (a bit harsh, I know) but he just collapsed in a heap, and didn’t explode at all.
So as to try it in a different way, I put my hand in my pocket in hope of finding some dynamite. I felt a pencil and willed it to come out as dynamite. I saw J (a cocky shit from the bus – see DREAM #2) next to me. I pulled the pencil out and put it on his head, even though it had come out still as a pencil and not a stick of dynamite. He laughed at me, shook his head and took it off.
I then gave up the idea of my LD Goal and heard my brother say that the badges everyone was wearing were in memory of the Stockport Disaster. I have never heard of any such thing but I checked Wikipedia and there was apparently a Stockport Air Disaster that occurred in 1967 here. I think it's just a coincidence.
Then cocky J’s older brother J2 (a guy I have more respect for) came over to me and asked me to wear one. I think I must have refused as he tried to argue me into wearing it by saying "Well, I'm wearing this." He showed me a white sweatband around his wrist that had my first initial on it.
Then I had an FA. I 'awoke' in my Grandparents' bedroom on a mattress on the floor. This was very authentic as it was where I was genuinely sleeping that night. My Grandpa was there. I started messing with this weird alarm clock that had a button that apparently aided dream recall with "DREAM SETTING" or "DREAM SYNCHRO" or something similar written on it. I pressed the button and my Grandpa said "Oh! Dream SETTING [or] SYNCHRO [or whatever it was]. Very nice!"
Then I awoke.
I’m very satisfied with that.
