Cities in the Astral

01/16/15 Very weird astral trip. I was having a long intense lucid that involved flying around the city and landing on roof tops that were vivid. I remember one was a steeply sloped brass roof. I could actually feel the rooftop and the slight give a metal panel would have. I interacted with DCs and my dream guide through various scenes. At one point I had ended up back at what seemed to be a market, when I noticed the DCs one by one taking off into the sky. The entities who dwell in this city rarely fly as it requires energy to counter the gravity this astral area has in place This made me curious, so I flew up after them. They were congregating in the sky and communicated telepathically to me that they were attempting to open a gate way to another are.

I joined them by taking the hands of two of them and everyone formed a big ring in the air like you see with sky divers. Something very weird and hard to explain happened as that reality faded in and out and clouds swirled around and changed colors as the seemed illuminated from behind. The act seemed to take effort as we had to keep trying until a clear center appeared in in the swirling clouds that was lit like a sunrise. that expanded and reality vibrated, then we were floating in the sky above a new area.

We were above a hillside leading down to what looked like a lake or sea shore with features like you see around mineral springs. Many entities were walking down a short path and climbing in the water. I followed them. As soon as I got to the bottom I found myself and companions in a hot springs about chest deep. I realize now that I have been to this place once before in a dream that did not go so well (I freaked out, still being new to astral stuff). I was surprised that I now seemed in a some what enclosed area that was much smaller than what I saw from above. It seems the area is divided into small intimate hot tubs for relaxing with friends.

i asked the crowd in general what this place is, and someone told me to look in the water to see their history. I looked in the water and a scene formed. It was suspiciously like anime. I could not really tell what I was seeing, except that some central figure with a sword had stabbed it into the ground or something. I thought, "this must be a joke, it looks way to much like anime.

I looked back up and said out loud, "So your history is Dragon Ball Z?"

Everyone started laughing, and I felt that somehow they were playing a joke on me. I asked how they could know about things from my waking life? A girl talked and said that they were not from here and were actually all dreamers from various areas. She said she was from France, so and so is from Y*jU&^ (some alien sounding name I could not process) and you are from Idaho.

I asked how she knew I was from Idaho. Unfortunately, at this point I was jolted awake.
