Almost as soon as I became lucid last night, I thought about going the spirit world. I opened the front door of my apartment, and stepped outside. To my amazement the doorway led me to a grassy plane where I was greeted by a Native American shaman (notice I didn't even intend this to happen; all credits given to my subconscious). He referred to the spirit world as the 'Outworld' and said that he knew I wanted to go there. Then he reached into a pocket in his robe and pulled out a dodecahedron crystal. He explained to me that it contains the arcane energies of the Outworld and if shattered will create a powerful distortion that will allow a corporeal being to temporarily travel and exist in that dimension. He handed it to me. I peered into the center of the structure; it was basically like a diamond will light-blue energy swirling in its core. After staring into it for a while, I threw the crystal onto the ground. It ruptured with tremendous force and cataclysmic energies were released. The winds of the plane howled and the moon in the night sky eclipsed. The moonlight was replaced by a vortex of blue energy which enveloped me completely. I felt my body being distorted and compressed. My very being started to collapse into a void at the heart of the vortex.
The Outworld was an ethereal dimension is made up of stone walkways with a few larger land masses and arcs, all of these things floating in an infinite expanse of emptiness. Also, it has an unparalleled sky, meaning any being in the air unbound by gravity is unable to return to the ground easily. At this point I started to lose focus and had somewhat of a dreamskip. I remembered that I walked a very long distance and somehow managed to convince the spirit of John Lennon to come back to Earth with me. We talked for a bit (huh, how cool is that? Had a conversation with John Lennon..) then I asked him how we can go back to the corporeal realm. He said that only the Outworld Guardians, these winged gargoyle like creatures, have the power to create the portal that bridges the two dimensions together. He said he knew where one of them resides and we walked for what seemed like weeks to that location. When we got there I saw the winged creature perched on top of an arc. Without saying anything, its eyes glowed with the same color as the crystal I had shattered earlier in the dream a huge portal started to form beneath the walkway we were standing on; in the empty expanse ahead. We walked all the way until there was no walkway left and prepared to jump. I looked down into it and sure enough, the mortal realm was on the other side. It looked something like this:

We jumped through the portal once we appeared on the other side, in the real world, we were flying above Manhattan in New York. The opening of the portal created an intense storm. As we were descending, lightning flickered across the night sky and started to rain. As I looked up this is what I saw:

The ethereal light from the Outworld diminished as the portal started to close.
