Going to bed, i repeated the mantra "i lucid dream." when my thoughts wandered, i would chant it louder in my head. During my trying to fall asleep, i could imagine daily things being effected by it (i see a scene from earlier play out, but instead of normal words, it added things like "i loudly dropped..." which followed the same first letter of my mantra. Somewhere in there, i fell asleep.
i am in an extremely dark house. People are all around, and for some reason, i feel a sense of urgency. I try to turn on lights, but they fail. My first thought is the lights are broken. Somewhere in the dream, i get the notion that it's a dream and try to rc. I try poking my finger through my hands, counting my fingers, but both worked flawlessly. Undaunted, i do the nose test, and it failed. This forces me to realize i am dreaming. Since it's dark, i conjure up a potion, for some reason, and drink it. Within seconds, the room brightens up. I drink another, and the room gets brighter. Eventually, the entire room is dark, but bright enough to make out details. I know the ld is extremely unstable, so i began to think of tasks to do. Yes, this was my first thought because i am goal-oriented. I ask a woman wondering around what are my tasks again, and i remember it's to talk to someone, so i ask her to tell me about lucid dreaming when i try to conjure a fireball for nomad's class before the most recent one. She explains i need to wait to develop dream control and duration, but it'll come. I start to create the fireball in my hand, but while i feel the heat and hear the sparkling, i lose the visual. Begrudgingly, i wake up. I quickly jot down my dream, then i try to return to the dream, but instead, i have a non-lucid where i see a radio host willing to have his kidney removed for the sake of radio. Later, i am planning a trip to local colleges (day residue) to watch their graduations.
All in all, good night!
