    Fantastic ladder

    Entry 1/2

    Pre bed: 3mg mel, wbtb: 1/2 latte

    DILD+: I've got the impression that I deilded two times after dream fade, got into the same place with the first deild, but my memory is really messed up, so putting this as one ld.

    I am on the porch of this place the way it used to look years ago. I am staring ahead of me, as if trying to figure out if I am in the dream. I confirm it feels like a dream, then turn around to go towards the yard, but the porch is very high and there is a steep slope just below it, so not very convenient for a jump. I decide to take the stairs and go down one level. Notice some details of the house and get a mix of memories that seem to change the place. I am now on the lower level of the yard and see a very long truck that carries some sort of long metal wires. Random thoughts arise about there being a construction site in the proximity and how they have ruined the place and I almost lose lucidity.

    Ignoring the truck, I continue on my way, this time trying to climb to the upper level of the yard using some sort of a morphing ladder. This time, I decide to experiment and see if I can stretch my hands like Mr. Fantastic as I am holding on to the ladder or whatever it is now. My hands stretch somewhat, but it is the ladder thing that stretches the most. The whole thing becomes a flexible rubbery substance that is being dragged down like a curtain, as I clench onto it.

    Still hanging in the air, holding on to it, the next idea that comes to my mind is that I actually want to climb it like a cat (i.e. with claws) or even better, why not make the surface of my fingers just stick to the ladder. I am midair holding myself by clawing on the surface of the ex-ladder, trying to smoothly let go and just allow my fingers to stick to the surface, but feel that I am about to fall. Then, subconsciously apply some sort of mini- vacuum effect with my fingers, that makes the ladder stick to my fingertips. There is a thin indigo energy layer around and behind my fingers as I look at them.

    I finally climb to the upper level. There is some sort of long white board on which I decide to do random acrobatic tricks I can't exactly recall in detail. Then I remember reading on DV that someone used a certain tech to fly and decide to try it out. It consists of putting your hands on the ground and launching yourself by applying pressure to it (Man of Steel). I try to do that and feel some pressure, but can't take off.

    I turn around and acknowledge the greenery which reminds me it may be good for the Wall of China. I look around, thinking about the wall, but only get a couple of Asian/Buddhist statues made of ebony among the trees ahead of me. Maybe I need a little bit of motivation for the task, so I start singing a Chinese tune to help me out. It echoes loudly around me, but the dream slowly fades.

      Hey, I love all of those experiments you were doing in this one! That was great! It was like something out of a superhero movie's origin story where Our Hero goes around trying out her new superpowers.

      That sticky fingers trick is great for future Spider-Man dreams, as well as perhaps a helper for the North America (King Kong) Task of the Year.

      I'm impressed that you know a Chinese tune, too! Okay, off to your next DJ entry because oh my goodness, that title!

      Thanks CL!

      Lding has sparked my interest in all those superhero movies and themes I used to love as a teenager. I am trying to watch as many of these as I can and saturate my mind. Having the mentality of a superhero can be so useful in an ld. You are super confident, which means you can deal with bothersome DCs or obstacles with greater ease. You have already showed that practice can make for a great proficiency in skills like flying, hulk-jumping or force pushing. Now, it's time for me to show some super powers too. Also, it's so fun doing this stuff!

      Exactly! There's something fundamentally appealing to that superhero movie story arc where the protagonist discovers all of this hidden power that they never realized they had and that they can't completely understand. That's the story arc of lucid dreaming too.

      Enjoyed the read, thanks! I could tell how much fun you were having!

      Congratulations on the LD.

      I liked the part with the stretchy ladder and hands.
