Thought i would share one of my first strong lucid experiences. It happened without much intention on my part, i was extremely tired and laid down after class to sleep for about 3 hours. I was in and out of SP (though sometimes I swear my mind simulates SP in my dreams!) and eventually, i found myself in my room with my roommate and my friend that goes to a completely different school. I for some reason just decided to do a RT, looking at a bag of M&Ms i think of all things, and found that it changed and thus I realized i was dreaming. I have become lucid on a number of occasions in the past, but they have all been very low level lucid experiences, and i had extremely little control over what was going on. This certainly was an improvement, though i know there must be much higher levels to be attained than this. At any rate, i walk out into the hall (which appears nothing like it does in real life) and think about diving out the window, but since in all my past experiences i have never been able to fly, i didnt want to fall and risk ending the dream, so i just took the stairs . Outside the sky was a pretty color, and i remarked this to myself, and then i came apon some people that were different, like they either knew what was going on (that i was LDing), or we had shifted planes or something, because they had "power" in the dream too, like they took me to a school for people that had power, something along the lines of magical ability? I'm not exactly sure, it was strange though. Chilling in a waiting room of some sort I read the tags on one of the pillows and found that the text changed as well. I met a couple girls there, and we left to go on some sort of mission or something, and walking down the sidewalk it was raining and i like waved my hand over my head to stop the rain from hitting me, and then i did the same from the girl in front of me. The instructors didnt like this very much, and overrode me and made it rain on them even harder, which i counteracted again. He then got really mad and added some lightning to the mix, which i couldnt stop, and ended up killing one of the girls. We then ran into a tiger that was extremely intelligent and that we barely managed to best. I think it was about this point that i woke up, but was too tired to get up to write this all down (which is why my memory of it has faded pretty severely) but i quickly fell asleep again and ended up in the same basic dream.
I was back in the school, but it was evident that some time had passed. I wanted again to feel more lucid so i walked over to the wall, and just flexed my arms making an "o" shape, and felt resonance almost, i think it helped. I Walked up to a girl who was sitting in a chair and was obviously distressed, and just offered her a huge hug, and she accepted and became very happy, and then introduced me to her boyfriend, who happened to be my suitemate IRL (she looked nothing like his girlfriend IRL and the fact that I didn't notice this attests to the limits of my "lucidity" lol). I let them be and walked down the hall, and here is where i lost the little control over it i did have and it became mildly frightening...this guy in some sort of medical room gave me a small syringe, and on it was a note that read something like "due to exposure to [some sort of gas] you have unlimited rights to the contents of this needle and to be able to refill it" and then it mentioned something about a WWIII that had happened, and i guess this gas had been some sort of weapon in it. I figured that i had been exposed to the gas in the interim when i awoke IRL. But i never injected it, because i never really had a chance to. The perspective of the dream shifted momentarily to show the guy who had given me the syringe right over my shoulder with fangs, appearing like a vampire, and so i took off running. I ran into the instructors room to ask them what the hell was going on, and one quick glance without a knock showed a female vampire laying on the floor. I turned and bolted out the door with one of the girls i had met earlier, being chased by these vampires now. We ran ourselves into a courtyard, and the only way out was up. It seemed i would have to fly my way out. We got a running start, and i tried to convince myself that i could fly, but it didnt worked and i just hit the ground. The vampires were almost on us now, and somehow i managed to lift off and felt myself soar into the air, but it was shortlived as i fell straight back down almost immediately, and was forced to run on foot again. They began screaming at me to give them what was in the syringe, and i shot it at them and as it hit them they screamed "oh it burns! but it's so worth it!" so i figured whatever was in it was what had turned them into what they were...i don't know the first part of the dream had been kinda cool but the second part was mildly disturbing lol it was just like, i had uncovered this massive evil or something. I awoke right after that last scene, and decided i didn't really want to LD anymore lol (amazing, that) and so i just got up shortly...hopefully i can improve the quality of the LD soon! Wish me luck
