No reality check needed
I'm having this weird dream that starts out with me walking up this stair well of some building. near the front entry way. There is a group of my old friends there hanging out.
Some of them are real old friends, and some are people I never saw before. But I seem to know all of them. As I walk up the stairs, I'm over come by a strange affection for these friends. Just like a drunk person, I begin telling my friends how much I like them.To each one in turn, I describe to them the likable qualities that I see in them.
Until finally I get to myself. And I say, "And I'm just some guy that can do weird stuff like this." I leap up and start climbing the wall. There are little ledges a couple of inches wide running around the length of the walls. I climb up onto these, and begin to use them to run around the side of the wall. There are places where the ledge stops and I need to run to leap into the air to land on the next one. I end up doing a front flip, and landing on the next shelf.
When I get to the next gap and jump across, I lose gravity just a little bit. And I realize that I'm dreaming right away. "This is a dream!" I say to my friends below. They laugh, and one of them says that they already know. Then they take off to do what ever it is that they want to do in a dream. Whoa, that's weird I think to myself. Then I leap off the wall doing a flip, and landing on my feet back on the floor.
I leave the building by the nearby exit. As I do, I notice how my cloths feel on me. They feel very real. I can even feel my shoes on my feet. Standing out in front of the building, I take in the scene. There is a busy road right in front, and a cross street that goes along the side of the building to my right. The building has this red brick wall surrounding it, enclosing a court yard, or some such thing. The brick wall is about waist high, and rising from the top of it is one those kind of fences with the black vertical bars that taper to a point at the top. In front of the wall are green decorative shrubs spaced at equal intervals.
Across the street are more buildings that look like stores and restaurants. I can't figure out what I should do next. Don't want to do anything sexual. I think about crossing the street and exploring one of the other buildings. But I'm not sure I want to leave one place, just to go inside another. As I consider what to do, I half think about the realism of this dream. And I'm kind of like wow, How can this not be real? The detail of every little thing is perfect.
I think, I really need to remember my Lucid goals. But since my Lucids have been pretty few lately, I have no real goal set for my next one. I feel like I'm thinking very clearly, and yet I'm drawing a complete blank on the things a want to try doing. I know there are lots of things I want to try though.
After a moment of racking my brain. One thing finally comes to mind. Oh yeah, get someone to tell me something I don't already know. Cool, I turn around and go back inside the building that I just came from. Inside the door there is an entryway. And a pay phone on the wall. I see one of my real life old friends named Phil, and some other person, trying to use the phone. I notice that Phil is wearing some funny looking pajama pants lol.
To Phil I say, "Hey Phil. Tell me something I don't already know." When he speaks I'm not sure I heard him correctly, but I think he says. " This isn't really a dream."
"What?" I ask. But then Phil laughs and says,"I'm just joking." Then he turns back to the phone, but doesn't' repeat what he said.
I then see this weird thing on the wall, looks like some kind of light fixture or something. I try jumping up onto it a few times, and can't get up for some reason.
I give it up and go back outside.
Outside, everything seems to look exactly they way it did a moment ago. I get this Idea that it might be fun to just start shouting random stuff at the top of my lungs. But I want to find a place where more people can hear me. There is lots of traffic on the roads, but I don't think that the people in there cars will hear me.
I leap up onto the brick wall to my right. And I run along it, between the black spiked fence, and the shrubs. I then leap off the wall, and into the air. I kind of drift slowly over the road, and the traffic. And as I do, I again marvel at the detail of it all.
I notice a motor cycle rider with a passenger. They are both wearing helmets. the kid is sitting weird on the back of the bike. He is sitting sideways with both legs dangling over the same side. As I watch them and continue to drift over the road I wake up.
