Ya, I don't know where I came up with that idea. I could tell my clarity wasn't 100%, nor control. I didn't want to wake up by trying to focus too hard (which is happening more often). I thought hey, why should I do all the work! LOL!

I think part of it is like in the Matrix, if you don't believe it will happen, it won't. If you're unsure, it won't happen. Well, I remember thinking the DC isn't me (although it is) so I had no doubts that the DC could will in the easter bunny! lol.. Can't wait to try it with my DL (my dream lover...lol...) Have a DC will her in... mmm...

As for the tree, that was the creepiest feeling I've ever felt in a dream. And I've had a screwdriver thrust through my scrotum while sitting in a car in a dream before (sorry to be so graphic, but this was a LONG time ago and probably one of the first times I became lucid, right after that happened.. lol).

I have a feeling if I wouldn't have stopped and "shaken off" the branches growing out of me, I would have become quite a tree... just didn't feel right.. lol!
