Sound the trumpets!! I completed the basic task!! :breakitdown:
Ok.. here are the details!
I went to my living room couch around 3:30 am to try to WILD.
After about 25 minutes I felt the familiar "shift" (where I know my body has fallen asleep). I waited til I felt it once more and then I rolled over and stood up.
It seemed really dark to me (I'm talking "can't see a thing" dark).. when it dawned on me that my "eyes" were shut! I opened my eyes and I could see.. it was still dark but at least I wasn't blind!
I went outside and the neighborhood was dark as well and deserted (it was afterall around 4:00 am). I stated "increase lucidity" and "lucidity now" but nothing happened! :?
I remembered both tasks and thought "ok.. snow". I told myself that when I walk around the next corner, there will be snow... WRONG! Sooo.. moving on to the basic task!
There was a diner down the street with a house attached to it and I decided to go there.. heck there has to be people there to talk to.. right?
I enter the diner and see a wide array of different types of people.. professional, blue collar, deliverance backwoods types :silly: ..
I went towards the middle of the diner and asked loudly "Are there any Lucid Dreamers here?"
< cue the lonely sound of crickets chirping > :ghosttown:
They all ignored me. I asked again and the still got no reaction.
I decided that maybe I'd have a better reception in the house. I walked into the house and appeared to be in the living room and there appeared to be a party/gathering going on.
I walked further into the living room and yelled "Are there any Lucid Dreamers here?"
I heard a man's voice yell, "I am!" I looked toward what I assumed to be the kitchen area and saw only a man's hand raised above the crowd of people there. I never did see his face.
I asked again if there were any Lucid Dreamers here hoping that he would come into view but instead a man sitting on a couch asked me what Lucid Dreaming was. I explained to him that Lucid Dreaming was knowing that you were dreaming while you were dreaming.
< the crickets came back >
I then asked, "Have you ever seen Star Trek?" He replied that he had and I said, "When you Lucid Dream.. it's like having your own personal Holodeck. Your dream becomes the Holodeck that you enter and you pretty much can do whatever it is that you desire.."
A woman came from the next room and tried to hit on me so I missed what his response was (if there was one). It was then that I realized that I wasn't "me" in this Lucid Dream. I wasn't female.. but I don't have a clear picture of the guy that I was.. but hey, if this woman was any barometer, I must not have been half bad. :ohyahbaby:
I decided that I didn't want to waste my Lucid Dream dallying with this woman and went back into the diner. I was determined to impress these people!!
I walked up to a table and asked those sitting there if they wanted to see some tricks. They just STARED at me as if I was insane. Ok.. tough crowd!
I picked up a glass that had about an inch of soda still left in it and I threw it up in the air with the intention of stopping the liquid in mid-air. Instead the liquid solidified and hit the ground in little beads. The locals were NOT impressed. :yawnorama:
I then picked up a jar of mustard. The mustard was too dark for yellow.. it could have been Grey Poupon but then it was too light for that so it might just have been some OLD yellow mustard (I don't know why I fixated on the color.. I know.. get on with the story)!!
I thrust the jar of mustard upward hoping to send its contents into the air.. but I neglected to take the LID off!! :P
Well this got a reaction alright, the diner erupted into laughter!! :laughhard:
Totally determined now.. I REMOVED the lid and thrust the jar once again upwards. A blob or mustard flew out of the jar and I tried to levitate it between my hands. Seconds before it hurt the floor. It stopped!
I levitated the mustard over my head and then moved it around my body.
I then let the mustard drop and floated up to the ceiling :meditate: and then flew around the diner a few times.
My superiority established I let the dream fade so I could write it all down before I forgot it!
The end! :okbyenow:
