A Pipe, Three Wood Nymphs, and a War

Here is an excerpt from my dream journal.

4/26/06 - LUCID

---

The dream started off with me in the reception area of a clinic. I was talking to the receptionist for a bit. I was still not lucid yet. I walked outside. I see my Rav-4 driving down the street towards where I am. It gets near me, I jump onto the hood of my car and take a pipe out of nowhere and smash the windshield. I then jump into the car through the smashed window and get into the driver's seat. The glass regenerates. Instead of pressing the pedals to move the car, I pedal them like a bike.

!--- Suddenly I am lucid, and everything around me gets more and more clear and vivid.

I "drive" my car to a park where I used to play as a child. The woodland is much prettier and lush than it used to be. I see a rabbit running across the path I am standing on. I force pull it into my hand. The rabbit bites me. There is little pain, mostly a sharp pressure where its teeth sunk into my skin. I let it go. I then will three beautiful wood nymphs to come out of the forest. The three come out of the forest. I try to do one of them. She resists, and shouts, "Don't you listen to your mother!?" I fail doing them, and then the scene shifts to me being in a large hallway at my chool, lined with lockers. Then this kid comes at me with a sand rake, which is used to clear the sand box used with the long and triple jump. He swings at me, but I grab the rake and punch him in the face. Then all of the sudden I am in the middle of a war with a bunch of kids I know. There are two sides, and I was on one of them, and I don't know what the war was a bout. The fighting didnt last long. My dream ended as someone on my side stabbed someone else on our same side in the neck. As the guy bled to death, he just stared at his stabber. Then I woke up.

I believe that I started to lose lucidity after the attempted sexing. I believe I tried to control my dream too early on. I should have become more lucid before I tried.

Pretty cool, huh? I just suddenly get lucid. I have never experienced anything like that before. I have always either FA'd into my lucids, or RC'd because something was off. Never have I just "felt" lucid. I think it was because I could feel myself "decending" into another phase of sleep or something. I could feel my sleeping body for a brief period of time.

Interesting that you noted that you could 'feel' the state of lucidity. Every lucid I've had, this sensation is there. I think keeping a good memory of what the state feels like might encourage LDs. I'll try this tonight. It seems like it could be a great trigger, or at least something to aspire to in your regular dreams - the lucid state.
