5th lucid dream

[venusflesh]

I had my 5th lucid dream a couple nights ago. Anyway, as with the last lucid dream, I became lucid without doing any reality checks (unless I just don't remember doing one, but I'm pretty sure I'd remember). I am standing in a room somewhere, and all of a sudden I realize I'm dreaming. There is a guy in front of me in a black sweatshirt, of black descent, and he has glasses on and has a shaved head, and is tall. As soon as I realize I'm dreaming, my first instinct is to scamper off and try to do stuff, but I realize I need to stabilize myself first. I rub my hands together, and it seems to work, because then I think I feel more, well, stable in the dream. The next thing I remember is that I'm in this house, and my mom is there. We are upstairs, standing outside of this bedroom. I am thinking to myself that I want to try to get my mom to say something funny, and we're talking about something, and all of a sudden she says something really random and hilarious, except when I woke up, I couldn't remember what it was! Damn. Then, the scene changes again, and I am in some place, but I don't know what/where it is. It's inside some building, somewhere. I am trying to control the dream and put myself in the scene from The Labyrinth, the ballroom scene, in the beautiful dress that Sarah wears, and with Jareth there, etc. (I've been telling myself in real life that if I have another lucid dream, I want to dance with Jareth/David Bowie like Sarah did in The Labyrinth movie). I am trying to think about it, and picture myself in the scene, to try and get it to happen, and all of a sudden, I'm in the dress (except I don't think it's 100% the exact same, but it's pretty close)! I'm really happy that I'm in the dress, but I want to be in the scene, too, and I want David Bowie as Jareth to be there. I remember how I've read that a way to get something to appear in your dream is to look for it, so I'm looking for Jareth, and saying to myself that I'm looking for him. I also remember spinning around and around, dancing by myself in the dress, and I keep looking at my reflection in this window, not quite a mirror, and loving the way the dress looks. I think that I check to see if I have the silvery things in my hair that Sarah has in the movie, and I have those, too. For some reason though, when I am thinking back on the dream, in the image in my mind of my reflection, it looks like I'm in my Rainbow Brite costume from Halloween... but I remember being in that beautiful gown. I don't know, dreams are weird. Anyway. The next thing I remember is that David Bowie is there, except he's not dressed as Jareth. He's in a black sweater, and his hair is short... he looks younger than he is in real life now. He is sitting on a chair in this little office which is near where I had been spinning/dancing. I am in the room/office with him, and to my disappointment, he seems extremely uninterested in me. I am in tears, telling him how much I love him, what a fan I am, etc., but he's just sitting there, not paying attention, and looks bored/annoyed. I'm so bummed! The last part I remember is I decide to start spinning to change the dream scene, so I am spinning, and then I look around and there is no scene anymore-- all there is, is white around me. That's the last thing I remember. The first couple of lucid dreams, I couldn't control anything, but the past few I've had, I've gotten a little bit better at controlling... and I assume it's just going to keep getting better, so it's exciting! I couldn't make David Bowie appear as Jareth, but I got him to appear at least, so that's a start! I got pretty close. haha.

Nice going, Venusflesh! And Labyrinth used to be one of my favorite movies. I haven't seen it in so long, though. One way of summoning people, that you might want to try, is to affirm that they are standing behind you, and will be there when you turn around. Then, turn around. Not fool-proof, of course, but it couldn't hurt to give it a shot next time.

That's a good idea-- I will try to remember that for the next LD.

If you like such things, it is definitely worth putting the whole season on your netflix. I think Jermaine Clement is one of the funniest men currently alive on the planet. Anyways, sorry for the thread-hijack. I get easily distracted by the slightest whiff of retro memories
