Another Lucid Dream, and it was a good one :)
I just had the most amazing lucid :) The kind you read about in lucid dream books, and the kind I thought I'd never have. First thing I remember, I find myself in a non-lucid visiting someone's house, she's a friend in my dream tho I don't know her in real life. She gets upset at me for some reason, and tells me she's in love with me, and I tell her I like her as a friend but I don't feel that way about her. There's something about wanting to take a shower, there's two or three showers but they're all being used, and I somehow decide to go to take a nap on her couch. In the dream, I am lying there drifting in and out of sleep. As I'm laying down in the dream (maybe in reality? I'm honestly not sure), I feel a sudden 'warp' feeling, and wonder if I've gone lucid. I pinch my nose, and I can breathe! I try to get up but almost lose lucidity, it takes a few tries but finally I get up. I pinch my nose a few times, sort of not really believing it at first, but after four times or so, I finally believe I'm dreaming. I get up and walk around and there are a bunch of people, mostly men, seeming like they are on their way out of where I am. I am coherent enough to remember the simple task for January, and and stop one and ask what my new years resolution will be, and he ignores me. I stop another and ask, and he says "only you will know", lol. Okaaay. I ask another but he ignores me as well. Somehow after that I end up back on the couch again, feeling like I'm about to "wake up" from my nap. I do another RC, can still breathe, and I decide I want to go outside. I get up (a little difficult, and I keep thinking I'm about to wake up, but finally I manage) and find my way to the door. I open it and go out, and there's snow on the ground, and somehow I know it's supposed to be freezing out, but it takes a minute for the "cold" sensation to kick in, and I never really get a strong sensation of cold. I step off the steps past a woman who's just sitting on the sidewalk (I ignore her) and walk down the street a bit. I look up and see the san francisco skyline in the distance and suddenly decide I want to fly. I used to fly in dreams when I was a kid, so there wasn't much doubt in my mind that I could do it - I simply reached into the air, and I come off the ground and fly up about fifteen feet. I angle myself a bit more like superman as I am pulled skyward, slowly but surely, and then I start to speed up. I look up and see the lights of the San Francisco skyline and just think oh wow, I want to fly to that. They're kind of blurry, and I say "increase clarity" to get them a bit clearer, and suddenly the lights are incredibly bright, incredibly vivid and beautiful. I start flying towards them a bit faster, when I start to see a rainbow of lights ahead.. I squint to see what they are, and as I come closer I see it's a carousel! It comes into focus and is about 30 feet away, I'm flying towards it and I can see all the horses are covered with rainbow lights, each horse a different color, and it's slowly spinning around, and it's just so amazing and beautiful. I think I want to ride one of the horses, and wonder if I can land on one. On top of the carousel, perhaps 200 feet in the air, are a bunch of multicolor pastel balloons - blue, pink, and yellow, tied to the top of it. My flight path is going to take me right into them, but I don't hesitate, I just dive into them, and they're soft and light, it's so real, I can feel the plastic balloons hitting my face before moving away from me, there are hundreds of them, and I'm joyfully batting them around as I dive through them. I may have even started laughing at the sheer amazingness of it all. Finally I'm through them and I am coming down slowly to land, and it's like there's a big fountain, but the water is special in a way I can't explain, it's water but there's something else added to it, it's very pure with a kind of inner light. I land in it and it sprays up all over me and it's exhilerating and really fun, but at the same time it blurs my vision. I know I'm in trouble because everytime I take my concentration away from the dream for more than a moment or two it starts to waver - I fight to be able to see but my eyes are wet (in the dream), so everything's blurried, I can't see anything except blurred colors, and suddenly, I awaken.
Oh, man. That is the most amazing dream I've had since I was a kid :D I am beyond happy right now. I think I've been sleeping about an hour and a half. It seemed like a pretty long dream...The colors were so bright, so vivid, the sensations so real.. the best part was flying and diving into all those pastel balloons :D
Now I'm going to go post this in the Task thread so I can get my first ever pair of wings :D
