    Dream - Lucid - AP

    Last night before I went to sleep, I meditated for awhile, maybe half an hour. First, I meditated on my MILD mantra ("I will become lucid"), then, on peace of mind.

    I was in my family's driveway at dusk. Chris, an ex and one of my best friends, was there, and so was my dad. My mom may have been there too. My dad was videotaping me dancing and playing in the driveway.

    All the sudden, everyone is gone but me, and the garage doors are shut, with the left one being open just a teeny bit, enough room for one of the cats to get in under. I'm not sure how, but I got into the garage. I think I came through the back door, and then entered the garage.

    This scene was very, very vivid, more vivid than most of the dreams I've had lately. The garage seemed to be a bit bigger and spacier than usual, and Chris was in there, standing next to one of the cars. He was dressed in all white, his shirt being a long-sleeved white thermal shirt with a light blue design on the front, and I think he was wearing white cargo pants. I thought the scene was weird for some reason...and then I figured it out.

    Chris and I haven't talked in months. We don't even live anywhere near each other. This has to be a dream! I got excited, but not enough to wake me up. I started to talk to Chris. I was careful, however, not to just blurt out "This is a dream! I'm dreaming!", because that seems to dumbfound my DCs. Instead, I said something along the lines of
    "Chris! This is awesome. This is such a wonderful experience!", to which he replied, much to my surprise,
    "Yeah, it's a dream!", something to that effect.
    I was shocked that he knew it was a dream, but in a good way. How awesome! Then, I said
    "Let's fly!"
    I started to float upwards, but for some reason, I couldn't take off. Chris started to float too, and was surrounded by this bright, white-blue outline around his body.
    "Here, lift me up with you!", I said.
    He took my hand, and started to pull me upwards. I thought to myself "This must be my dream guide, maybe he's taking the form of Chris for some reason...". I've never had a DC help me with anything while lucid.

    Then, we went through the ceiling, and this very vivid music started to play. It sounded like the opening to a 1950's adventure film, with violins and such, like an orchestra. Also, everything was black, save for the most vivid hypnogogic imagery I've ever seen in my life. I was tunneling through vivid, colorful geometric shapes. Yellows, blues, greens, you name it. I felt like the dream must be over, but I didn't wake myself up. The whole time, I was still hearing the music, as vivid as can be. I also started to feel like I was laying on my family's bonus room couch for some reason.

    Then, as I concentrated, I started to feel my body in sleep paralysis. There was an intense buzzing sensation. I concentrated it to my head, and it came to my head in intense waves, making my ears buzz. I then started to sit up out of my body. I got this image of a girl's astral body sitting up out of her physical body, and a male voice commented on it, describing it as "the female astral body". I got too excited, and went back into my body, and woke up, thinking that I must have been asleep for hours, when really, it had only been about and hour to an hour and a half.

    I had a fragment about Ryan texting me, and calling me his fiance, but he was trying to be goofy and spelled it weird and spaced out the word (it was something like "fiz on ce"). I was very excited that he called me his fiance.

    I was at the coffee shop I used to work at before it went out of business. It had reopened, and the restaurant that had taken its place had gone out of business. Looking through their walk-in fridge, I found a lot of the food they had left behind. It was nothing that we served.

    I was then at the register with Kacey, and a lady with her young daughter ordered ice cream. Kacey got distracted by something, and I had to finish their order. I took big scoops of this very soft, delicious-looking ice cream and put it in a cone (maybe a cup?) for the little girl.

    Then, it was the coffee shop I currently work at, and I was trying to explain to some customers at their table that we didn't have what they wanted, because of the business that had been there before, and we only had their food at the moment. I told them "It's a long story." I think we actually ended up finding what they wanted.

      You were smart not to blurt out that you were in a dream because you know how your DC's react. I feel there reaction is part of your awareness that you are in a dream and a concern that their reaction will not be good for your dream. You basically let it be the DC's idea even though it was your subconscious deciding how he would react.

      Was I clear, or clear as mud?

      Here I think you were having trouble flying (I get heavy myself), but asking your DC to help made it easier for you to fly. You didn't doubt him.

      In both instances, you let the other person achieve your goal. We never doubt that the guy chasing us will succeed, or that the train that is about to run over us will have trouble making it, but we ourselves often have trouble punching or running...or flying.

      I think that was awesome. Now, how about the music. Do you remember how any of it sounded? I'll post a (part of) a song I wrote in a dream some time. It was really cool. Think about how cool it was for Motzart. You go to bed, have a lucid dream, and wake up with a symphony. I'm so jealous.

      I definitely understand what you're saying. And the music, I just remember it being happy, 40-'s/50's-esque orchestral music. There were no words, so it would be hard for me to explain. The best description I could think of was the opening to an old adventure movie. It was so vivid, loud, and beautiful.

      Ah, I bet that was cool for people like Mozart. That is truly a gift.

      Sounds like an awesome experience!
      I have heard music in my dreams a few times, and it usually was orchestral music, usually quite dramatic and/or fitting to what was currently happening.
      It can be quite intense. I wonder if we have heard all these pieces of music in waking life, or if our mind occasionally makes up it's own songs.

      I made up part of a song. I plan on uploading it to YouTube sometime. If you like, I'll let you know when I do. I feel very fortunate I was able to remember all of what I made up.

      Hyu, I wonder that too! I thought maybe it was some sort of compilation of stuff that I've heard before, or if I'd heard it in waking life. Maybe our minds do indeed make music up every once in awhile. Either way, it's pretty awesome what the mind can do, isn't it?

      Yes, it's absolutely amazing.

      @Rman
      I'd love to hear it!

      @Hyu: I've been meaning to get it done. I have to figure out the microphone thing, but I'll get on it.

      I have recently found a thread that I'll pass along. I promise you will get more laughs than you have in the last five years combined. It deals with strange things your dream characters say. Reading the thread, I realized that I rarely hear anything in my dreams--speech included. This is one of the reasons I am so happy that I had a dream where I was able to instantaneously compose the music and the lyric...and hear it all.

      @Krista: That leads me to my response to you. Yes, it is incredible what the mind can do. Referring specifically to dreaming, it is incredible and very weird!
