Sex, Murder, and Vivid Lucidity, as well as Lost Dreams

[Phobetor]

Okay, I waited so long to post my first lucid dream that I had another. By first of course, I mean first recently, as I had some lucid dreams when I first got into LDing about 5 years ago, and periodic ones since. As I mentioned in my other post, I never got into LDing enough in the past due to school taking over, so now this summer I have decided to devote some time to really mastering my LD abilities. I had two big problems in the past: One, I was always fearful in lucid dreams. Again, I said this before in my last post, but I'll quickly restate: I get afraid in LDs sometimes. I begin to think that I am alone in my own head, and, as I sometimes do in real life, my imagination unintentionally wanders to what scares me and what would things would scare me or be horrible if they happened. For instance, I see a closed door and think, (glass half full) Oh no, a cornucopia of fright could be lurking on the other side! In the LD, of course, my subconscious immediately picks up on this and BAM! the terror enters my dream. Second problem: Lucidity. Clarity of the dream was always a huge problem for me. Things were fuzzy and often I could just barely feel my real world body in bed during the end of the dream. Anyway, it's late, and I have to work tomorrow, so I will just give the brief version of the two dreams and fill in more if needed tomorrow evening. The first one was great. It was a Wake Back to Bed, and I became lucid immediately as the dream began. Having read about the hand rubbing technique to try to better the dream clarity, I tried it and WOW!, this is what LDing is all about. Now I had truly entered my dream, rather than existing in some purgatory dream state as I had before. I was walking around my college campus, exploring a bit and flying around. At one point I talked to a friend (I believe I lost a bit of rationality here because I am not sure if I totally realized that he was not just a DC; I kept laughing at him though and saying Petros, this is just a dream! so there must have been some sort of rationality I suppose). Then I did what I now wish I hadn't: tried to have some dream sex. In waking life I always tell myself, don't waste your time with that, do something else for a change, but in the dream world, it is all I want to do. So I found a cute girl I know and we ran off together, but deep down I knew that it didn't seem right. We were looking for a place to enjoy ourselves and all we found was a public bathroom, so we quick hoped into a shower with a closable curtain and got going. But I felt awkward and ashamed and extremely exposed to the other DCs. Nonetheless, one of them perked up, "Hey we can hear you in there! Get out of here!" We ran out and headed into another public bathroom, but this time it had showers with doors on them. We got in and again... But still I felt awkward. I think I peeked out of the shower and saw a DC who I knew had called me out of the other bathroom and was trying to hunt me down and stop me again. So I ran from this stalker DC with the girl into a different room, where again we started banging, this time just on the floor. For the sake of the forum, I'm going to skip a quick part here (it was not a good thing at all, but it would be too weird and take too long to explain here), but essentially she disappeared just as the stalker peeked over the open-topped door to the room and said something like "You just can't hide from me." I was so frustrated at him and the uncomfortable, and in some ways gross, sex I'd been having that I ran at him, grabbed him, and threw him off a balcony at the end of the hallway outside the room (we were on the third floor some sort of a student center facility, not based on any real life place, with an open area in the middle that each floor looked down on from some parts). I watched him fall, and it felt fantastic. Then some DCs started chasing me, but I ran outside and realized that I didn't care at all that I had killer the stalker, and just then the DCs stopped caring about it too. I spent the rest of the dream flying, but accidentally woke up when flying in circles made me spin a little too much, causing me to awaken. Aside from all that jazz, another problem is that I can't remember the very beginning of the dream! How horrible! It's too late for any detail about the second dream, but essentially I remember it beginning, and me using the "Increase lucidity now!" command, which worked absolute wonders, and I remember it ending, also due to spins from flying. Same problem (minus the weird sexuality), but worse: Can't recall the main part of the dream. Such a shame to lose an LD to dream recall. Anyway, that is that. Now I need to sleep! Comment on any of this, please!

I realize now that I should have put this in the Lucid Experiences section after seeing what this post turned into, sorry about that. I meant to more to ask some general tips on solving problems I had in these two (being stalked, being too sexually excited, simply forgetting little parts of the LD, and spinning causing me to wake up).

Are you sure you were lucid in that experience? Doesn't sound likely that a lucid individual would have to deal with some silly DC chasing him around, you could've blasted him to dust or made him disappear into thing air.
