Title: "My Third WILD - That Goddamned Malfunctioning Dream-PDA!"
<span style="color:#000099">I'm standing in my bedroom with my eyes closed. I realise I have my eyes close, and think to myself "Okay, better open my eyes, but be careful: I don't want to open my real eyes, just my dream-eyes. I manage to do so, but I have trouble FULLY opening them. The room is dark, and not very vivid. I can't fix this, though I try. It's also not my bedroom.
There are two beds, both singles, the one on my left (I'm standing away from them) I came from. As I hover forwards (I'm half-walking, half-hovering in this LD) I hear a snore or cough from the other bed to my right. I think this is because in real-life, my flatmate may have coughed or turned over in the bedroom next to mine, and it supplanted itself into my dream. There's a desk to my left, but the room is otherwise empty - I can't see mich of it anyway because the gorram dream's so gorram DARK.
The floor is carpeted, and I notice there's hundreds of little black specks in the carpety, which are either clumps of dirt, or tiny LEGO blocks. Can't work out which. I make my way to the doorway, and put a hand on the wall. I try to stabilise the dream by concentrating, but it doesn't gorram work! I look at the back of my hand, which I can't see because of the darkness of the dream, and I try to concentrate on the texture of the wall. Neither work. I think of yelling out "Vividity 100% NOW!" But I think somehow I get distracted and forget to do this, or chicken out.
And then, I pull out from my pocket:
My handy-dandy Dream-PDA! (Which, by the way, I've never seen before in my entire life, dream or real-life). It's cool. It's black, with a blue-green illuminated screen.
It has shitloads of data and graphs and stuff on, all updated in real-time. There's one meter that says "Dream Vividity 87%" and "Lucidity 45%" and stuff like that. (I'm still mostly lucid BTW. I am wondering where this gorram PDA came from, though)
But then something screwy happens. The screen of the BDA goes glitchy, and the lights start to flicker. Sparks and vibrations, and I realise: It's going to crap out! I'm afraid it'll blow up, so I chuck it to the ground. IT turns off and goes DED. Dee Eee Dee. DED.
And I think to myself: "GORRAM SCREWY DREAM F%&$ING ELECTRONICS! WHY WONT ELECTRONICS WORK IN MY GORRAM GREAM!"
I get reall pissed off at the PDA not working, as I think it could have helped my stabilise the dream (It was the most vivid object in the dream). I think it's this anger that wakes me up.
Sucks about the lack of clarity in the dream. but still - WOOHOO WILD!!!!!
So, I have a few questions: Why was my dream so gorram dark and unclear and "wobbly"? What can I do to stabilise the dream other than what I already tried? Do I just need to "wait it out" and stay in the dream longer than 30 or 40 seconds, and it will stabilise itself? And why didn't my awesome dream-PDA work? GAH! I hate screwy dream-electronics.
