I am not afraid anymore.

Looked like I was on a college campus on the track, me and several other students were BS'ing, we were there for some kind of test, I had done it before though, I knew I had. And I was kinda annoyed that I had to do it again, the teacher was a young guy, looked like he was in his mid 20-early 30's im bad with ages though. I said to him, "hey I have done this before, do I really need to take this test again?" He looked at me close and said, "how old are you?" "24" "Damn, your kidding? you look ..." "really young, I know... " (duno what that really meantguess my outward appearance was different? "Ok sure if youve take it before, but your gona have to prove it" Behind us was a steep hill, there weere some monuments at the top and some more campus buildings, the teacher started going on about his sports days when he used to play football, and told me about the buildings up on the hill I feigned interest for a bit, but finaly said, "well I was never really big into sports myself" "So what kinda stuff did you do?" I think I said I was a dreamer and then it started to hit me... I jumped...Up the entire elevation of the hill and onto one of the monuments, they kinda remind me of incan pyramids.. or is that aztec... with a staue on the top they were VERY steep and the steps were very narrow, but I was at the top hanging onto the statue, The PE staff and some other of the school officials, at least I think they were, they were in suits and stuff... They gathered round down at the base of the momunemt, I was up pretty high and for some reason I got a fear of heights, I didnt know how the hell I was gona get back down, then I realised how I got up there to begin with. They yelled at me, saying how I was in trouble I thought about it for a moment.... I knew I was... but I was afraid... why was I afraid? what the hell was I afraid of? I didnt want it to crumble.. I said it.. I finaly said it and the dream didnt crumble... I said it to myself at first... "Im dreaming" I laughed, and they yelled some more. I yelled down back at them, "Im going to get in trouble? How? and for what? I'm dreaming! what would I get in trouble for?! I just flew up here!" I jumped and hovered off the statue, and landed, the teacher for the class was in awe and the rest of the faculty kinda backed off. "It was evening, now, the sun had been going down during all this, it was a beautiful spring night, The teacher followed me around, he seemed facinated that I thought I was dreaming and how I was able to do such things. we didnt talk about it much though, this is the sense I got from him. I wanted to go on a roof, he had the keys to the gymnasiums roof so we went up there, We climbed the last ladder to get to the roof and there was a man sitting up there... Meditating.. about a foot off the roof itself. He opened his eyes and looked at me... he was real. For some reason the first thing that popped into my head was "Your aboriginal arent you?" But he didnt look like one, he looked more like a Hindu, he was pretty much wearing only a white undergarment looking thing looked like a diaper, though I duno what its actually called. I corrected myself. "No your not aboriginal, but you walk the same path dont you?" He smiled and nodded "It is good to meet another who walks the dream" I laughed and said "yes it is isint it" The teacher was confused about all this we left the other dreamer in peace as thats what he wanted and we walked around the campus, it was beautiful, I want to go there again, it was so vaired in terrain, lots of hills and valeys, trees streams... it was night but the moon was peeking through the heavy cloudcover every now and again, shedding its silver light down. He finaly asked me..."So if you are dreaming... what does that make me?" He seemed very nervous abou this, like he was afraid, he didnt want me to say "just a figment of my imagination..." I mean how would you react to somone if they said that after displaying such abilities and they said it seriously meaning it. At that point, I wasnt sure about him anymore either... I thought he was a construct, but few have actually confronted me about their existance... I said, "I dont know... but its too nice a night out to worry about that, if you beleive you exist then you do" It was time to do some flying I lept into the air and flew up about 20 feet I looked down and he was still standing there watching, he looked sad, fuck it... I gave him some of my energy, gave him the ability to fly, he floafted up a few feet and laughed his ass off he looked at me and smiled, it was so genuine and REAL... "Ive given you some of my power, I dont know how long it will last, but have fun, I have to go now though" I looked upwards, the moon still peeking through the thick clouds, The trees were also huge on this campus... I flew up but it was difficult, I guess giving some of my energy to that guy left me drained... whatever, i wasnt going to let it stop me. It wasnt superman/neo flying though, I felt like I was flapping wings.. but I didnt remember changin into my dragon form, and it shouldnt have been that difficult.. but again I wonder if its because I imparted my energy to some one else... I only just realised that part as I an writing now.... So up I flew, it was hard work, my muscles strained I was getting tired, but I did not stop, I kept climbing up and up. The ground, the campus was starting to get small, but I was still below coud level, I was getting close though, the moonlight was incredible, I noticed the sun was starting to come up... I wanted to see a sunrise Above the clouds I was in the thick of the clouds now I could see the dim grey of the sinlight, the moon had set now. I finaly broke above the clouds... but there was another layer even higher... I strained and gained more altitude, it was even harder up in the cold thin air... i love it though.. I think thats why I like cold weather actually, because my home is like that. I was in a tube of clear sky within the clouds now, it went all the way to the horizon, I could see the sun coming up below the clouds, it was incredible, it rose and as it reaced the center of the tube, some kinds of lensing effect happend, It flared brilliant, and I could barely see, The cold air still blasted me, but the rays of the sun imparted their own heat, deeper in me. It formed nebulous patterns, it was weird, at one poitn it looked like a parrot head, hell they got weirder named nebula =) Everything flashed... It was night again, I was back at my parents home on long island, sitting at teh edge of the lake, there was a crowd of people looking across the lake, and at just about tree level, there was this weird light... It looked like pictures of the arora borealis, (I never seen it with my own eyes) It fluctuated and moved it was beautiful, somone said "This is impossible we shouldent be seeing this" Another commented, "its visible as far south as colorado." I wanted a better view, so I flew up, it was still not as easy as it should have been but I got above tree level and watched.. it wasnt long bands like the arora is.. this had a point...it was emanating from something, there was something weird about it, I was entranced because it was so beautiful, I flew out over the lake and watched, the sky above was clouded, and the lights looked like they were getting closer. Then it changed, it looked like fireworks... but they were hitting the bottoms of the clouds and it seemed like they were chain reacting within the clouds itself, the clouds started to dissolve! the firework lights started eating away all the clouds, I heard some one say "This is perfect, its clearing the skies so we have a beautiful Valentines day! I hovered and thought...If all the clouds are vaporized thats not going to be good. The atmosphere... wholy shit... I woke up. Gamma ray burst. People think that the only cosmic events that we have to worry about are meteors and sun flares. No. Neutron stars, sometimes collide, it happens rarely, but there are binary star sytems out there and the suns have enough mass to become neutron stars, they eventually gravitate to one another and collide the resulting explosion produces a wave of gamma radiation, depending on how large the suns are, varies the intensity and range of the radiation burst. If two large enough stars collided, it could set off a chain reaction with other neutron stars, and the range would be on a galactic scale... What this means is... we dont know when they will occur, the radiation would hit us at about the same time as the visible light which we would see the explosion, there wont be any warning. It would burn away the ozone layer, and we would recive in a few seconds, the amount of radiation the sun produces in a year... Not much would be left alive. I didnt fully understand untill I sat and thought about it... Its a sobering thought. Im not sure what all of it means, but it was good to meet another dream walker. and imparting my energy on that teacher.. the look in his eyes, the thanks, was well worth the trouble I had flying.

sounds like a really satisfying dream

[RedStarSoldier]

Wow, very good read. I can't wait until I can go lucid more often..

[Ev]

that was amazing.... Really great LD!

Here is something, how do you distinguish a dream walker from a dream character. Once I met someone in my dreams and I think she was real but I wasn't sure so I ignored her...

[Serinanth]

its hard to figure that out... sometimes you just know... I find the eyes to be the biggest indicator. and few constructs will actually coem out and say that they are a dreamwalker, let alone know what it is, thats why I was kinda confused about the teacher, he seemed interested, but it took him some time to build up the courage to ask me, I wonder if was a dreamer as well, perhaps just starting out? I duno it was confusing =) Anyways... look into their eyes... If you se yourself, than its a construct, if not, its a dreamer, I have not met many dreamers in my dreams, I did have the luck to have a shared dream with a very close friend so that has helped me to be able to determine whos real and whos not, but its still sketchy at best in how accurate it was =D

[KalmaH]

Thanks for the advice man. I'll try it out.

Pretty cool man!
