An excerpt from the journal of my first semi-successful Lucid since last time:
"The Emperor's Hearing, 11/03/2012, 9:22 AM
State: Brief Lucid, Minor Control
Tone: Excitement (During lucid period), Anxiety.
I was in a park with my family, just doing nothing in particular, in an unspecified country whose culture held similarities to a variety of asian nations. I was approached by a character who I knew as my guide (in the country, not a dream guide) who had instructions to drive me to a hearing about my apparent attempt on an unnamed "Emperor"'s life. In the car, I was mostly unworried as I had done no such thing, in fact, I don't even remember coming to this country, it's as if it were in, say, a dream...
I forgot to do a basic reality check, but I knew it to be the truth anyway. I immediately closed my eyes and visualized the scenery become more vivid; even with my eyes closed I could feel the seat under my hands, and when I opened my eyes I saw everything so amazingly clear, the clearest lucid I have ever had. I finally got around to performing a reality check of sorts by forming a fireball in my hand, and was rewarded with a very real looking small blue fireball floating above my palm. When I concentrated it grew bigger, but the moment I took my attention off it in order to cast it, it shrank down or changed form.
Eventually I became so engrossed in this new power and seeing if I can successfully cast one (I asked my father, who was sitting across from me, to fling a fireball at me so I could test a shield spell; he did so, and it worked.), I forgot all about my lucidity and the car arrived at the courthouse, but I awoke as I walked through the doors."
I'd heard stories about the vividness, of course, but I'd never truly understood until that moment.
