lucid

After a few non-lucid dreams I found myself in my hallway with my brother, completely aware that I was dreaming. I was doing backflips with him, trying to achieve the perfect flip. I was telling him about how I wouldn't be able to do a backflip if this wasn't a dream. I then tried flipping the dream world as I tried a backflip and it really helped my landing. After a while it finally hit me... I'm lucid dreaming! How could I control the dream world let alone know I was dreaming and still not even realize it...?

So I charged out of my house, super excited, yelling and screaming out to everyone, telling them that I'm dreaming. I took flight across my road to my neighbor's house from my last dream. It was a very awkward flight though, I was spinning around uncontrollably. I used to have this problem a lot as a kid. Kinda scary and very annoying. Anyway, I decided to go on the hunt for a girl...

Any nice-girl would do. I walked in a house and saw a few people including a girl I thought was alright. I walked up some stairs and saw my neighbor from the last dream. Despite being a very nice guy in waking life, he seemed a little angry in the last dream and this must have passed onto this dream too. He was yelling at me to keep away from his daughter (he doesn't actually have one in waking life). He then shut the door to this little workshop he was in. I tried locking the door with magic so he couldn't come out. Not sure if it worked, but I pretended it did and walked off to do the exact opposite of what he told me to do.

So I was hanging around for a bit and got too shy to say anything to her so I walked out of the house (which was also somewhat of a shop). Then I thought "No, this is my dream, there's nothing to be scared or shy of!" so I went back inside and asked her to come for a walk with me. She misunderstood and gave me her three younger siblings to take for a walk. Damn! However I left them at another neighbor's house instead.

A few things happened and I then found myself chilling in the house/shop again, munching on deliciously crispy food while wondering how I could get her. Then these two older guys grabbed her and tried to take her somewhere! I took this as a great opportunity to be her hero. So I walked up to one of them and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and I grabbed his shirt and sent him flying across the room with one arm. I stood there feeling all awesome and thinking of how impressed the girl would be and how scared the other bad guy would be, but then my brother, who sleeps in the room next to mine, opened his loud ass door in waking life and woke me straight up...

I tried to go back into the dream but ended up in a non-lucid dream about something else. Oh well. Still had fun!

I must have had lots of REM because I've only been asleep for 5 hours and recall quite a bit. The non-lucid dream before involved a party. It also involved driving, speeding and swerving through a very odd, almost futuristic construction site to get to the other side several times. I was with my brother. I also saw my friend who didn't see me. We followed him for a while and he took a random dump while hanging off these two bars. Disgusting. Oh yeah, I also accidentally said something offensive around another friend (who doesn't exist in real life), and it took two or three tries but I rewound the dream and kept my mouth shut. I knew I was in a dream but failed to really realize WTF was going on and become lucid. I guess I was more worried about making everything better between us.

Anyway, skip a bit, and we were finally going home. Unfortunately home was about 6 hours away so we started driving. I fell asleep in the car (in my dream) and had another short dream. Then when I woke up I was like "Are we there yet?" but no, my brother decided to stop an hour into the trip and stay somewhere. Very annoying. I saw a shop with lots of Zelda stuff in it though and wanted to go the next day. Anyway, my brother took me to some resort with lots of girls and stuff. Then, as I was sitting there not doing much, I looked at my hand. Where's the R I usually write on there? (I didn't do it much yesterday). Then I thought "This feels like a dream. RC time!". After about 10 failed reality checks I wouldn't take no for an answer, so I kept on trying with nose plugging, finger through palm and finger checking...

Then I pictured the member flipsyde. Or more so a picture of some weed dude smoking. And thought about what he once said "I usually start killing people and if the cops show up its not a dream...". For just a moment I thought it was a pretty good idea. Anyway, after much trying my finger started going through my palm. Hooray!

But, instead of an awesome resort, my dream reverted to me being in my house. Oh well. I ran into my living room and started dancing with my cats. Not usually something I'd do but I don't know. Maybe when the time actually comes to be lucid I just get a little crazy? Anyway, I was dancing, rubbing my hands, crawling around on the floor (a technique I learned here). I was moaning in extacy at the realistic feelings of everything (purposely exaggerated for fun)... Then I tried to spin and appear somewhere else but it only slightly changed the objects in my house. Then my brother wanted to watch a movie. Everything seemed pretty real so I actually started questioning if I was in a dream or not now. But I soon got rid of that thought and found myself rolling on the floor moaning like an idiot again, but it was all good. Then I finally decided to take a stroll outside and test my reality by busting into a neighbor's house. I walked outside and saw that it was morning. It was supposed to be night. And the neighbor's husband had a big fire going outside for fun. I felt better outside. More free and whatnot. As I was walking I tried to make a scary demon appear for a moment, which is extremely stupid because I did NOT want one to appear, but that's how I am. I will tempt things like that for a moment. Anyway, nothing appeared. I kept walking and started feeling just a touch off. I saw some grass where the road was supposed to be and planned to touch it to regain my conscious but just as I tried to do that I found myself wide awake. It felt like I had plenty of stability in my dream. I wasn't phasing out much, I just... boom. Awoke.

I done a RC in case but nothing, so here I am now. It wasn't a very good dream, but it's definitely something. A start. My techniques are starting to work. Maybe next time I'll do something a little more interesting!
