No reality check needed
I'm walking along a country road. there is a farm to my right, and an open field that stretches out ahead. The field ends at a steep hill. There are cows in the field. Where the field meets the hill there is a wide trail going up the hill, and disappearing over the top. I know that this trail leads to a place I want to be. I have to cross the field with the cows to get there. I see a farmer and ask him if it's ok for me to cross his property to climb the trail. He is ok with it.
But now I'm a little nervous about the cows. I start crossing, and near a building I see a black shape I didn't see before. for a second I think it's a mean bull, and I almost run away. But I see that it's just a black cow. It turns and looks at me, but that's it. I walk towards the trail. There is a black and white cow that start running towards me. But I can tell it's friendly. It has the manner of a happy dog that want's to meet you. I somehow end up just passing up the cow, though. And I make my way to the steep trail.
I start climbing. I find myself climbing through some tall wheat like grass. It's taller than I am, and it becomes and effort to push through it. But the wheat/grass gives way to an all rock hill. It's a smooth kind of rock, and I continue climbing that. It seems to steeper and steeper as I go. And it's really a struggle but I eventually make it to the top.
Once I clear the top I'm moving at a fast pace, and there is a huge crevice open in the rock before me. It's too late for me to try and step back from the edge. If I don't try and jump for it, I will just fall in. I leap and I make it. But just after landing, there is another crevice just ahead. This one is even wider across, and I have no choice but to jump and hope I can make. I'm moving too fast to stop now. So I leap through the air again, and I barely make it. But I have to keep going, there are more crevices. I keep running and jumping and flying. I get going so fast, that I'm just skimming over the surface of the rocks, barely touching them as I make my next leap.
Sometime during this flying across the rocks I become aware I'm dreaming. My Lucidity is pretty much full. I know, because of my clear minded thinking about how I will ever be able to describe this incredible dream when I wake up. The place I am at, is just wow. It's a place of smooth rounded orange rock formations. Similar to something like in Utah. But for me, it's like a stretch of park in front of Pike's Peak, in Colorado, called "Garden Of The Gods." I'm very high up, doing my skimming, leaping, flying thing, across the top of one of the orange cliffs.
Now, I'm right on the edge of the cliff and there are formations of rock jutting out from the side. I'm now leaping the gaps between these, and getting longer and longer hang times over open air. looking down, I can see lots of people walking along, and I'm just in wonder at the sight of all the twisting, smooth rounded rock formations below. They are so complex, and entwine with each other. This is the kind of mountain flying Lucid I've always wanted to have.
Eventually I come to a spot where I dive head first down the side of a smooth rock face, an inch from the wall. Where the cliff meets the ground, it's a smooth curve, like it was made for this. And I just swoop down, then I'm flying across the surface of the ground at high speed. I come to another cliff, this time swooping right up the side of the wall, then leaping over the entire cliff. I can see a group of people below, they all have long staffs and are in some kind of battle. I briefly consider landing right in the middle of them, and doing some fighting with them, then leaping off again. I like the idea, but instead I end up swooping down, and along the ground again missing the group.
Again, I'm flying across the ground at high speed and come to another cliff wall. I swoop up the side of this cliff face again. This time, when I reach the top, I don't go over the top of the cliff, I keep going up up up into the sky. My speed carries me like a rocket, much higher than I intended to go. I lean backwards into an end over end free fall. My intention is to dive back down the side of the cliff again, like a ramp. But the ground is so far away now. As I begin my end over end tumble, all visual is gone, and I wake.
Reading over this I don't feel I've described it very well. But I think it was one of the most fun flying dreams I've had.
