NON-LUCID / LUCID / NOTE

My house seems empty, but I can sense the presence of others. I am aware that a game is taking place in which the last man standing is the winner. To eliminate other players, one must engage in a wrestling match and win or throw a crumpled up paper towel and hit an opposing player in a dodgeball-like style. I step out of my room and narrowly avoid a crumpled paper towel. It whizzes past me and down the hallway. I spot a player who is a student at my school who I believe to be a wrestler. I don't know how to wrestle but we begin pushing one another. I run to the kitchen and crumple up a paper towel and I pelt it at his leg and it's a hit. I shake his hand and he departs in a sportsmanlike manner. I become aware that I am one of the last few players remaining. I run downstairs and spot a small hill of crumpled paper towels. I dive into the room while simultaneously grabbing two armfuls of paper towels that I hurl at a group of remaining players who seem to have formed an alliance. I eliminate all but one who is an old friend of mine. We look at each other and smile. I feel confident that I'll win as we shuffle around the room and avoid thrown towels. I finally hit him and win the game. I feel very pleased with my performance and the next thing I know I am outside and aware that I am dreaming. The exact moment when I gained lucidity is unknown, which is quite unusual for me because I often become lucid by RCing or just realizing that I'm dreaming. I cannot recall the precise moment. I begin walking down my street, which is how I begin most of my lucid dreams. My vision is blurred and highly shaky, and I can only make out the gray street and some trees beside me. I stop for a moment in an attempt to stabilize the dream. Things come into focus and a few dream characters appear in front of me. This is also unusual, as I am often alone in my LDs. One character is D, the old friend. Another is J, a girl from my school who I had a crush on a couple years ago. One or two other characters are there as well, and they are ready to take flight. D grabs onto me and J grabs onto D as I lift off from the ground. The other two characters fly independently of me and each other. We fly down streets as I follow the others and D and J are unable to hold on. I stop flying and tell them to hold on tight for the turns. They listen, and I am happy for them to be holding on and experiencing this flight with me. I then test my control and I am able to gain speed and slow down rather well. I then decide to turn on warp speed and leave the other two flyers behind. I am gliding at an insane speed down another street. I live in the suburbs and I take note at how beautiful and realistic the houses appear. I then think to myself how this is all my creation and I promptly wipe out and wake up.
