Somewhat frustrating two lds this morning, I seemed to just keep on running into obstacles >_< Spoiler for CLICK ME: DILD I randomly become lucid in my house and dive out of a closed window without smashing it and into the garden. My Dad is there and I tell him that we're dreaming and we should try to meditate in the dream. I decide that the best place to do this is atop the garden wall, but as I climb it, it begins to crumble. I make it over into the street and become properly lucid as I remember I need to do the other two of the three step tasks. I crouch to the ground and start running my hand over the tarmac, it is sharp and gritty. Everything is much clearer. However, I think I'm supposed to do advanced flying for number two, so I look to the sky, which is full of sparkling stars and 'romantic' whispy clouds. (I really can't recommend lucid stargazing enough, particularly when you see big alien planets in the sky)I start attempting 'Neo-style' flight, I crouch down and launch myself high in the air... about 100 feet. I try again. A couple of thousand feet. And again, cloud level, several thousand. This is utterly thrilling, I can feel the wind and the G and the clouds are around me, but I'm getting nowhere fast. I remember I'm supposed to teleport first, anyway. I'm not a big fan of dream spinning, but I decided to try it here. Usually it has the opposite of the prescribed effect and destabilises the scene and destroys my lucidity... and that's exactly what happened here. The scene blurs and I start to wake... FA Or do I? I'm back at my secondary school with my brother in an IT suite. I realise I'm still dreaming and focus again on teleportation. I try tearing open the air to teleport, it feels like heaving a heavy velvet stage curtain. When I get through I'm back in my street! Unsatisfied, I tried diving through the nearest wall, but instead of entering an entirely different scene, ended up in a random DC's house! The DC who lived there started giving me hell for phasing through her wall. and I lose lucidity again. Points: Dream one: Recall = 1 Lucid = 5 Interact with DC = 2 Stabilise = 2 Flying = 4 Total = 13 Dream two: Recall = 1 Lucid = 5 Teleportation = 7 Move through a big solid object = 8 Total = 20 Points for three step task, step two = 10 ------------------- Total for last night = 43 ((I don't really count the flying as advanced, for me advanced flight is detached from any idea of relating to dream flight on a physical level, and I was clearly thinking physically, launching myself from the ground through the force of my legs when such effort is unneeded in an LD))
