1st post-WBTB dream:
I was in a car, driven by my dad, in the front sit. We drove towards my university, like I do every day IRL (sometimes with him, sometimes myself, etc). We talked about random stuff. Then I looked at the sky. The weather was supposed to be nice and most of the sky is covered with nice feathery clouds. But just next to the sun (which was still low in the sky), there was a nearly black wall of thunderclouds, and we were headed towards it (driving parallel to the shore towards the mountain). I saw it to dad, and based on the fogginess below it he said "it seems that a heavy rain is going where we headed". I told him I left my umbrella at home and wasn't dressed for that. Then I heard my grandma's voice scream from the back sit. Looking back I realized that both her and mom are also in the car. :wtf2: I looked out of the right window and to the back to see what she's screaming about. A tornado was ravishing the city, separated from us by one or two rows of buildings (btw, we where driving via a different route then in RL, it's slower but goes thru the nice commercial center with many impressive buildings). Anyway, mom also noticed the tornado and started screaming at dad to drive faster. I looked more carefully into it and notice several penguins (~5) going up its vortex among other debris. :rolllaugh: I realized it must have destroyed the statue with penguins that is near by (IRL it not that near by, but it exists). In all of the panic I was mumbling, "this couldn't be happening! It was supposed to be a day with great weather! We don't even get tornadoes here!!!"
Then suddenly a thought crossed my mind - 'wait a second, I don't think I remember how I got here!' After some more thinking, it became clear to me that the last memory I have is doing WILD after a long WBTB to try lucid dream. Suddenly everything became clear and RCs weren't required. But the tornado and screaming were still going on, and my heart rate was off the charts, and the car was flying thru traffic into the black wall of clouds away from the tornado. Everything was getting dark until I lost all vision. I kept "calm", and analysed what I can still feel - the bumps of the road, the screaming in the same voices, the roar of the engine, and then a new sound joined the mix - like a monster roar that was chasing us. :wtf: I focused on getting vision back, and started to focusing on opening the eyes, but stopped to not open the real eyes (and wake up). I tried to 'ordering' the dream to put the lights on and soon after (while still in the chase), I could see two foggy spots - one in front of each eye (like 20 degrees wide). I could see that I'm running now, and saw the road I'm on - like the lane markings, etc. I could still hear the engine and mom and grandma, but couldn't see them. The monster was still chasing me. I felt like I'm about to wake up, and still had impaired vision - so decided to do the fire TOTM to kill two birds with one stone - both getting more light and doing the task. Unlike the previous time I lit up my hands, I couldn't make the flame to originate from my shoulder, so I had to try a different way. I started snapping my left hand fingers and focused on causing sparks (sound ridiculous if done IRL, right?), the sparks appeared and lit up the whole palm - but not like last time - not like a flame throwing thing - rather like it's on fire. The fire was hot, but not uncomfortably so, and the flames were red - orange. To lit up the other hand I had to "snap sparkles on it", since just touching hands didn't work. I then started slowing down, and the fire made more things visible, but it was like I was surrounded by fog. The roar kept going, but it's like the monster was hiding in the fog. Then I just woke up when the fog covered everything again.
Then I woke up and tried to DEILD back, but failed. Tried to WILD again, but failed and it was pretty hard to get into a dream and took sometime until I finally fall asleep (but lost awareness).
