On this night I saw a house being carried through the air from a cable, by a helicopter. I did a nose RC and it didn't work. In another dream I was skiing. And while skiing, I decided to check to see if I was dreaming. I did a nose RC and it didn't work. In another dream I was walking around questioning reality, but didn't RC, or get Lucid. But finally, late in the morning I decided to sleep in one more hour and got Lucid.
A Lucid Dream

Lucid Dream # 23 of 2009
Lucidity trigger unknown
At the cabin
The first thing I know of this dream, is that I'm in the middle of a conversation with a seemingly very wise female DC. I'm Lucid, and so is she. She is giving me advice about Lucid Dreaming. If I remember right, her advice was about how to stay in a dream longer. I remember her saying that I should try not to focus too much on one thing, at one time. She says, that I should try to stay aware of as much as I can, and just let the dream winds flow. I take this to mean that I should let the the dream events form around me on their own, while trying to stay aware and observant of as much as I can. And without letting one particular thing capture my attention too much.
I say, " I like what you say about letting the dream winds flow." I look around the room trying to take in everything at once, and waiting for some random thing to happen. Suddenly, there is a knock at the door. " This should be interesting." I say to the DC with me. I open the door and another woman enters. I suddenly get this really weird feeling. My cloths are really bothering me. They are irritating my skin, and I feel almost trapped within them. I have to get them off right now. So I pull all of my cloths completely off.
( I realized later that this must have been because I was sleeping fully clothed, and wrapped head to toe in my sleeping bag. With my pants tucked into my socks, and my sweat shirt tucked into my pants, and my hood over my head. And my sleeping bag hood over that. I was trying to protect myself against any stray wood ticks that may come off my dog and want to get on me in my sleep. I would try to find all of them, but there is always more. There were times when this was very uncomfortable.)
Anyway, there was some more really weird stuff that happened right here that I would rather not try and describe. But then I realize I have to pee really bad. I go looking for the bathroom. I realize that I don't have to use a bathroom in a dream if I don't want. I can go anywhere. But I forget that going in a dream does not really do anything good for you. And I want to find the bathroom anyway. I do find a bathroom, and about to go when I wake up.
Comments
Maybe the advice the DC was giving me was correct. Because in my next Lucid, the next day. I had some of the longest Lucid sex I ever had. I was only partially focused on the sex, while simultaneously being focused on other events. The dream took up six pages in my note book. I will have to do some experimenting with that and see.
