Lucid #3 Running Like the Wind

I am competing with my friend D to see who can run down a grassy hill faster. We are in a very beautiful place with steep, sloping green hills and a tall forest ahead. Behind us there is a quaint town.

D wants to charge down the steepest hill head first and I want to take a less steep hill. I say "Of course you want to charge down the steep hill like a fire bender. I'll go down the more flat one like the air-bender I am."

He laughs and says "Of course you will! Race you!"

Then he charges down the hill. I run over to the flatter hill and sprint down laughing and having fun. When we get to the bottom D rubs it in my face that he beat me and I decide to do a reality check. Just in case. I go for my normal nose pinch RC and I find that I can breathe! I think this must be a mistake! I must have not pinched my nose hard enough. So I try it again and I can still breathe. I try it one last time and squeeze me nose and mouth shut as hard as I can and I suck in a huge breath!

I immediately become lucid. I get really excited and tell myself that I will not wake up from being excited like I did before. So I rub my hands together and study the feeling and the landscape around me. I shout I am lucid dreaming! D seems to have disappeared. I then run up a hill on to flatter ground and decide to air-bend at a pole.

I fling my hand and arm forward but nothing happens. I think that I must have not truly expected anything to happen, so I try again. This time a huge visible gust flies from my hand and hits the pole! I’m feeling really confident so I decide to try to make some targets appear behind me. I start by expecting to see them there because I have to believe they already are there.

As I turn around I see that they did appear, just to the side of me rather than behind me. I don't think it's a big deal so I walk over. The targets are three big black circles on top of a black box. I try to air-bend at them again but only small pathetic gusts come out of my hands this time. I start to get frustrated as to why I can't do it well and I
lose lucidity.
