NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
Clarity 5/5 Lucidity 3/5
6:27-7:50AM
I decided not to go to the WBTB meetings today because I was too tired, and hopefully I'd fall asleep and have a lucid. Lucky. I almost didn't remember it, like there was a block keeping me from remembering the dream, but I managed to grab it back before it faded away.
It starts out with me laying on my father's bed taking a test on my phone, but something happens and I lose all my progress and the test aborts. I curse, but I'm not too angry because the teacher gave us two tries just in case. The next try I plan to use on a computer so I don't mess things up. Just then dad comes in and asks me if I want to go get something to eat, but it's got to be like the middle of the knight. 'Dennys, then?' I wonder, "sure." I grab stuff and go to the door and we walk out of it.
Now we're walking through a playground, but dad stops in front of this kid. 'What's up?' The kid is a pale skinned kid with dark brown or blue eyes, I'm not sure which, and reddish hair, and freckles all over his face, and now dad's marveling over how dark the kid's eyes are. From the way he says it, I can tell the kid's going to have significant magickal ability. That's when I have a conclusion, I didn't just walk out of the house, I walked completely out of body, because out of all the people there, only a girl playing on one of those old wooden slide forts could see us.
I must have fallen asleep, and this is one of those traveling dreams he talks about. Neat. Sadly, dad knows this too and isn't happy leaving well enough alone. He wants to tamper, so we hang around and soon the parents come to take the children inside again. Well, lets follow them inside, since we don't have anything better to do, and apparently Denny's is out if you don't have a stomach to store their food in.
I walk around a bit, through the house to the outside and back inside again, but I have to stay away from that one kid because he now can see us, the one that was staring blindly past us while we were talking about his eyes. This spells trouble because he doesn't seem to be comfortable with us being in his house one bit. I absently pick up a stack of napkins and move them from one table to the kitchen counter, and from my vantage point there I hear the mother say that her child was acting odd, like there was something there. Crap. Dad, we have to book. I can't remember exactly how I said it, but the message was the same, they were onto us and we had to leave. Sure they really couldn't do anything to us, but them knowing we were there was a bad thing.
I abandon the napkins, and make my way out the door that takes me away from her and outside. Hopefully I can avoid that annoying kid's eyes and get away, but it seems to be no good, because his frightened wails are now accompanied by the mother's voice, and she's telling her husband or brother. I say nothing, but keep on walking towards the exit to their yard, and am saved 3/4 the way there by some sort of gate (think gate as in teleportation gate made out of stones on the floor, that is, stone circle).
The only symbol I remember is a seven, but it's shaped more like a sickle. Woah, I must have completely gone over into the astral, nice. I'm looking for something, I know it, but I don't know what. I'm sure what ever it is I'll find it if I go down this path. Man though, this place looks like one of those tiny caves that go deep within some mountain and beg for a cave in, and now there's a brick wall standing in my place. Ugh, but no problem, I can just shatter the stupid thing, right? The stuff dreams are made of. Sure enough, with a little help the thing falls, almost on me, but now I can continue.
-FA- I wake up in my dad's bed again, excited at the dream. Wow, I managed to topple that wall without losing control and without it crushing me? Sweet, let me go tell dad about that dream. I look around but don't see him, so he must be outside. I creep down the stairs and look out the front door, and sure enough, there he is on the rocking chair talking to someone. Uh-oh, he's getting up, best make myself scarce, so I run up the stairs as quietly as possible, with him coming in just too late to see me turn onto my own staircase, and go inside the apartment. Where are my keys? Dang, they're still in the door. I open it to get them, but he's already almost at the top of our own stairs, so if I closed it now I'd be being rude. I start to tell him about the dream, but this time I wake up for real.
Admittedly, I didn't realize exactly that I was dreaming, but I count this as close enough. I skipped from Lucid #7 to #9 because #8 is recorded on audio and I haven't transcribed it yet.
