memorable

I had a lucid dream last night, my 5th! This one was the first one vivid enough to actually write about. It was short, but sweet. And I think I've broken a long dry spell after attempting to get back into LDing!


I was in one of my classrooms, at a desk. I looked around for a while, bored. I decided to idly nose RC. I do that often in real school. I found that I was breathing through my held nose. It felt like my nose was running, but I could still breathe. I looked down and tried to count my fingers, losing count multiple times. I got pretty excited. I looked around the room again. I have never had a dream this vivid. The entire thing felt completely real. It was so bright, too. I was surprised. All I can remember that was out of the ordinary was that my teacher was not the right teacher for the class I was in, and a thin, faded black border around the edge of my vision. I got out of my chair, thinking of what to do. I walked over to my teacher, holding my nose harder to confirm that it was a dream. I was going to slap him in the face just for fun, but wasn't confident enough. I turned around and walked to the classroom door, thinking of what to do. I told myself that my friend was just outside the door. When I opened the door, my friend wasn't there, and some visual distortions and purplish-blue spots faded in and out of my vision-something that happens when my dreams collapse. I stopped thinking and they slowly stopped. I walked down the hall, finally remembering I should stabilize the LD. I was pretty excited at that point that i was able to stop the distortions. I walked to one side of the hall to rub my hand on the wall, hoping to stabilize the dream, but that is all I remember.

So glad I remembered a dream, and quite well too..
I am in a state of the art mall with a friend, E. We are pretty bored and walk up to a conference table and take a seat. Across the short side of the rounded rectangular wooden table, 2 businessmen in suits are obviously having a business discussion of some sort. I didnt think my DCs talked amongst themselves, apparently this is false. My friend mentions watching a cartoon movie that he brought along. Something like a cross between anime and Despicable Me in terms of what the movie looked like and was about. I ask the men across the table if we can watch the movie on the big screen behind us. They say it's fine. So E puts the movie in the centerpiece of the table, a very long xbox 360 with multiple disk ports. This is a well thought out conference area. The movie starts and I get bored pretty quickly. I decide to continue work on what I am building in a small part of the mall where you can build anything you want easily with giant digital lego-type blocks. I'm building an aquarium. I add some rocks to one tank and work on making some broken pipes look realistic beside the entrance to my aquarium. E comes over right when I finish and asks me to show him. I give him a little tour through what i've built. There are 2 exits to the aquarium and E takes the bad exit, where I basically built a lava temple that looked like stereotypical hell. I grab him and walk him over to the good exit, where there is just a cobweb in the corner to remind me of the bad exit. After rushing him out, I show off another thing I was building, the payload cart from TF2. The track lays itself out in big blue slabs as I walk over to the cart, explaining that it dispenses health and ammo just like the real thing. The cart is blue all over instead of blue and white, which seems to be how my subconscious remembers it for multiple reasons. I walk over to the cart as a lego-like brick extends from a few feet away from the cart to a few feet from me. Then I wake up.
