Thread: Strangely Romantic Ld

Last night I had a dream, which started with me and my brother living in a house somewhere in town. It was a big apartment building, completely empty. A friend was also there, Jacob. He was wandering around, constantly smoking weed (thats what he usually does in real life, too).

Note that me and my brother did not. This actually made me feel very good, since Ive been trying to quit for the last months.

So one day our father comes by to see everythings okay, but we get a little nervous about Jacob (father has a very nonliberal view on drugs). Anyway, nothing spectacular happens. Then I dont remember much, and suddenly, a lot of people is looking for something in our house. They cant find it so they go outside. There are empty houses and cars everywhere around our house, and I dont remember what they were looking for, but I knew where it was, so I point in a particular direction, I think it was to our car that was parked a few blocks away, we could see it through a window. "What if they find it in the car?" we asked ourselves.

Seconds later the crowd is going for the exact car I pointed at. "They couldnt possibly have seen my finger pointing there!!" I say, and my brother agrees. But nonetheless they are going to find it, so we split up, run and try to find somewhere to hide for a while. I dont know what we were hiding, maybe a lot of drugs, maybe an atom bomb.

Anyway I end up in a basement room, with those white, corny, cement, pizza walls, a little furniture here and there. There was clothes on the floor, coulorful ones, and a big bed, undone. There was some small windows close the ceiling and a low stairway leading to a subwaylooking electrical door. Outside there was a supermarket, where I would go later on.

Lucidity starts here.

Note: I always have a hard time remebering conversations in dreams, but Im pretty good at remembering the looks of things. Though my english sometimes isnt enough to describe it, but Ill do my best.

So, there was a girl in this room. I have a feeling we intruduced ourselves, but perhaps not in words. I knew I was dreaming, but I still like to have some kind of manners, you know. Besides, I was in a cellar, which supposedly is a sign that you are visiting the subconcious, so I decided not to start flying, saving the world or doing any crazy shit, but instead to just go with the flow and see where this would lead. I would not try to change anythings appearence, just control my own body as I do in my real life. Besides, I dont know if I have the "power" to do anything I want just yet, so I decided to keep the focus on staying lucid, controlling my body and leaving everything else to itself.

I had a feeling I had seen this girl before somewhere. She had long red hair falling down her shoulders, average height, beautiful green eyes, big lips and a wonderful smile. Throughout the dream she wasnt wearing much clothes, so I could clearly see tattoos of butterflys on her chest. She was not naked, but not very dressed either. Her clothes were white.

We sat, in a kind of lotus position but more relaxed, in her bed, talking about things. As I said I cant remember dialouges, so Ill skip that. The strange thing is that I felt we were down here for days, going to the store buying food. I didnt feel a real need to eat of course, but she did. I think I tried once to tell her this was my dream, and that we dont need to eat. Since she didnt believe me and I didnt want to spoil the dream and wake up, I let her eat and got some candy for myself.

After a while (days or weeks) I started to fall in love with this girl. It was that feeling of that scene in Waking Life with Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke, but more "falling-in-love", when you spend all your time with a person you just met, and you never want to do anything else in the rest of your life. Ive had it a few times in real life, and it was just as real in this dream.

We started doing the things a man and woman do, and everything was very vivid. I remember crawling under her shirt exploring her body with my eyes and skin, and it was amazing. It was even more real than real life, since I felt I could see inside her, the exact feelings we were experiencing, the sensing sensations of touching another being, physically and mentally.

You can imagine the rest. The dream continued for a while after this, in pretty much the same manner. It felt like we were going to be there forever, in our own little edens garden in her basement room, making love, talking, felling, touching, dreaming, eating and so on.

The dream was very vivid but I dont remember much exactly how it ended, because it was mixed up with my awakening in my own bed. I tried to go back too sleep, but I had had a such good nights sleep that I couldnt. I had slept for almost nine hours straight. My father then came in and droog me out of my limbo, lingering to the fragments of my wonderful dream, but I wasnt angry with him, I was instead gratful, because now I remembered to record the dream on my dictaphone. The greatest thing about my dictaphone is that once I have recorded it, I dont have to listen to it, I remember my own words perfectly once Ive heard them been spoken.

So, five hours after waking up, I still have that cosy feeling from my dream and feel very lucky to have had another lucid dream, though this was a very peculiar one. Imagine if I had gone to school on time today, then I would not have experienced all this. But then again, my plan was to take the day of to have a WBTB WILD. Couldnt manage the last, but Im satisfied anyway.
