A "go-to" for personal defense in dreams
So the other day after I woke up from an afternoon nap, I realized something that I always do when first becoming lucid in my dreams. I'm not entirely sure when I started doing it in my lucids, but just today I realized it was kinda silly.
Anyways, getting to it: The very first thing I do when becoming lucid is grabbing an m4a1 assault rifle, which i can just reach behind my back and grab for, and it always appears there when summoned (unlike everything else I summon). I have done it for a while, and I have done it in order to fend off any immediate threats that come my way as I hate it when the lucids turn into nightmares. It works fantastic actually, as for my other abilities usually take some time to summon for some reason I don't understand, so it's much more reliable and faster than anything else. I just realized how ironic it was for me to reach for a real life weapon of choice, even when I am in the dream world where super-powers are possible. Now I haven't exactly updated my DJ in forever due to sheer laziness, so unfortunately I have nothing to help further explain it or prove it.
So I was wondering, do any of you lucid dreamers have your own type of "go-to" weapon to carry with you as well? If you don't have a weapon, maybe a certain super-power that is your "go-to" when threatened?
