Thread: An Officer and a Gentleman ~ Awesome LD!

I had such an amazing LD the other night that I just have to share it in here. The girlies will love this one!

I was attempting WILD after a WBTB...

Suddenly I am sitting on a couch beside my sister feeling like I just woke up from a nap. She turns and asks me "Hey, where did you get your nails from?" (I have never worn false nails in my entire life but not only that, my sister would never ask me about my nails - she's a total feminist!). I think, 'that's weird' and do a reality check. Bingo! I'm immediately lucid. I stand up, turn to my sister and say "thanks R!" I then tell her I'm going to summon our late brother, D who was killed in an accident a few years ago but then I feel the dream fading and I don't manage to stabilise it. I have a brief awakening then fall back into a new nonlucid dream...

I'm in an airport departure lounge. I'm walking around looking for a spare seat. I see a young man who looks a bit like my brother. It is a consistent lucid goal of mine to meet my brother in my lucid dreams. Suddenly I realise I'm dreaming again. As I look at the guy he morphs into my brother. Upon seeing him I am overwhelmed with love and emotion. He looks so handsome. (My brother was incredibly good looking and he was also one of the most intelligent and kind-hearted human beings I've ever known on this earth.) I walk over to him and hug him. He is wearing a blue and white striped shirt. I ask him my Lucid Goal Question, "Was I a good sister to you?" only the word 'you' comes out as 'do'. He teases me and repeats, "was I a good sister to do?". I ask him again. He then gives me a look that says 'you don't need to ask' and telepathically affirms that we had a wonderful relationship and of course I was a good sister. Suddenly my husband is there too. I introduce my brother and my husband who, sadly, never met in RL. They shake hands and I am overwhelmed and start crying.

Then I say to them "If we just stand here I'm going to wake up, so let's go and ride on top of a jet as it takes off". (I think I must have got this idea from Yurithebest's Dream Journal!) They both know we are in a dream and so don't have a problem with this 'impossible' suggestion! I then look through a big glass window and see a huge US fighter jet taxiing onto the runway. I run over to the large window and my brother and husband follow. There are of course no doors and or windows that open as it's a secure airport lounge so I shout "just jump through the glass!" I then hurl myself at the glass but I just smack into it! "That's crap" I say and try putting my arm through. My hand just hits the glass. I push hard but it won't go through. I try and will myself to push my hand through. I've walked through walls lots of times in my LDs, but this time it doesn't work. Just resistance! My bro and hub are putting their arms through successfully. About four other people come along and put their arms through the glass, but I can't. I'm kind of amused at this and am wondering why my lucid powers are so useless all of a sudden.

Then I DEILD.

I re-enter the same dream, still lucid. It's just me and my husband, C present. I tell him I have to put my arm through some glass to prove to myself that I can do it. He finds a window and says "here's a window". I go over to it. C puts his hand through and says to me, "Come on, you can do it. There is no spoon." I concentrate hard and my arm goes through the glass beautifully! I do this a couple more times then I turn to a DC who is standing nearby and say to him, "Hey watch this!" I put my arm through again then ask him, "Have you ever seen anybody do that before?" He looks thoughtful then replies, "Yeah, once in Rotorua". I jokingly call him a smart arse then walk off. I turn back to check if C is following. He is, but he is now wearing a fancy pilot uniform! He looks amazingly handsome. I laugh at him because I know he's changed his clothes to amuse me. He has a twinkle in his eye. I automatically know what he's thinking. I say, "Oh you gotta do it!". He replies "Just give me a second". He adjusts his cap and then the music from the final scene of 'An Officer and a Gentleman' starts playing! He comes over and sweeps me off my feet into his arms and starts walking across the airport with me. People are clapping and cheering. It's just like the movie! Love lift us up where we belong, where the eagles cry on a mountain high, love makes us act like we are fools... It's amazing and exhilarating and hilarious and unexpected all at once. I love how the dream surprised me. I woke up elated!

Hope this dream inspires you all! Thanks for reading. To anyone who hasn't seen the movie, you simply must. It has one of the most iconic, romantic endings of all time!
