That is so cool you want to induce lucid dreams for inspiration. A beautiful idea.

Dying in dreams isn't actually much. I killed myself in a lucid dream. No biggie.

I am at an amusement park. I am there with my mother. We are going around to all of the best rides. There is a large portion of the park that is underground. This is where all of the eateries and gift shops are. My mother and I go into the underground area to get something to eat. My mother is waiting in line at one of the eateries. The line is long. I tell her I am going to look at a nearby gift shop and I will be back when she gets closer. I leave and start browsing at the gift shop. There are lots of interesting little things. I reach into my pocket to see how much money I have to spend. I have nothing. I see a couple of things that I know my mother would like. I see something I would like. I am tempted to shoplift. I look around to see if anyone is watching. No one is. I pocket a pair of earrings I know my mother will love. I am too nervous to shoplift the thing I wanted now. I hurry from the shop before I am caught. My mother is at the front of the line now, but it is no longer for an eatery. Now it is for a roller coaster. She tells me it is the best one there. Five loops. Guaranteed to make us puke. I wonder why she wants to puke. I give her the earrings. She loves them but says I shouldn't have spent the money. I told her I didn't spend much. She hugs me and walks away from the roller coaster without riding. I guess she doesn't want to puke any longer. This is where I wake up.

What age did you feel you were in this dream?

I'm not really sure... I think about 16. I am 25 now, but in many ways I still feel like I'm 16!

I have read some of your dream journal. You have awesome dreams! Yours and Raven Knight's. I hope I can get to the point where I can dream like that! And you really share dreams? I would have never thought that was possible, but there it is!

I am at a friend's house. Her name is Alice. I am ready to go home. She has to go to school. It is a strange time of day for her to go to class. I wonder if she has something else she is doing. I leave her house. The ground is shaking. That is odd. I have never been in an earthquake in Tucson! I look towards the mountains. There is thick black smoke coming from the mountains. I also see lava spewing into the sky. But there is no volcano in the Catalina mountains! I don't stop to consider that. I am thinking I have to get home. I have animals there. And my mother is there. I have to get them out before the lava reaches them. I get in my car and start heading towards home. I am going the opposite direction of all of the other cars. They are driving away from the volcano and I am driving directly towards it. A couple of people stick their heads out their car windows and tell me I'm crazy and I deserve to die a horrible fiery death. I think that is extreme. I close my window so I don't have to hear them. I am looking for roads that aren't blocked by lava. I come to a place where I can't get past. Lava is blocking the road. But I have to get past! I find out my car can fly. It takes off and flies over the lava. But cars don't fly! The only way this car could be flying is if I am dreaming! I become lucid! On purpose! I am so excited to be lucid. What do I want to do? I have a flying car! I can go anywhere! But where? I remember reading Dreamviews dream journals about a tower on the moon. I want to see it. I pull back on the steering wheel to make the car fly higher. I don't see the moon... It must be on the other side of the planet. That's ok. It can't be too hard to find. I fly higher and higher. The flight is so exhilarating that I feel like I am about to wake up... and I do.

I am at a movie theater. I am there with several friends. We are there to see a really creepy movie. The movie doesn't start quite yet. I am wandering in the mall while I wait for my friends. I am hungry. I go over to a restaurant. The eatery is selling ice cream and sandwiches. I want a sandwich. I buy one and I am waiting for it. A really fat man goes and takes my sandwich when they call that it is ready. He eats it in one bite. I get mad at the people who gave the sandwich to him. The woman says I am too slow. She says it is my loss. I tell her I paid for a sandwich and I want a sandwich. She says I am too slow. I grab a sandwich off the counter. She doesn't stop me. I take it and go. The sandwich I grab is really good. I eat it on the way back to the theater. My friends are there. We go into the theater together. It is dark. My friend on my right is named Joe. The movie we are watching is The Grudge. Joe sees the dead girl vomit mud. He turns to his right and vomits on the person next to him. That person turns into the Grudge girl and eats him in one bite. I am too stunned to move. She is hovering over me and making those weird creaking Grudge noises. My other friend, Jen, looks past me and says how it is so annoying that those rude ghosts never respect people's personal space. I wake up here.

Please tell me you were not afraid.

Maybe a little... but I was more grossed out than anything. I was sitting in a theater next to a living corpse. I am annoyed at myself that seeing a living corpse didn't trigger a reality check!

I am at a swap meet. I am looking around for a cheap present for my mother. I go to one of the stands. They have only crap. I would be embarrassed to give my mother any of those things for her birthday! I head to another table. I spot the stand where by boyfriend used to work. He is now my ex-boyfriend, but we were going together when he worked there. I am wondering if he is still with the slut he left me for. I head over to the stand. The stand sells toys, books, and comics. My ex is behind the register making out with a fat woman. But it's not the woman he left me for. She is huge. She barely fits behind the register with him. She is wearing spandex that is too tight for her and that creates disgusting results. I walk over past the stand, morbidly fascinated by the scene. My ex looks at me and asks for help. He says the woman is a nightmare. I laugh at him and continue to the next stand. The next stand sells mirrors. Beautiful ornate mirrors. I am looking at a full body mirror, one that looks like it came right out of the Victorian age. It is far too beautiful to be sold at a swap meet. My mother would love it. The owner of the mirrors comes over and tells me I have made a wonderful choice. He says he has no better traveling mirror in stock. And it comes with a handy carry-on size. He pulls out a smaller mirror and hands it to me. A hand mirror. I look into the mirror. I don't see myself. I am looking into an abyss. The mirror seems bottomless. I am fascinated by the view I have. I am so fascinated by it that I wake.

Haha. You just bought a couple portals to other dimensions. The abyss you were looking into is a wormhole. AWESOME.

I am in a parking garage. It is a parking garage outside a very expensive hotel. I park my red Prius and go inside. There are luxury rooms. The ones being used are close and the ones available have their doors standing open. I think how easy it would be to spend the night in one of those rooms with no one even knowing. But that would not be necessary. I have a room reserved. I am looking for the door to my room. Room number 313. I am on my way there. I meet my mother on the way. She wasn't supposed to know I am here. I expect her to be upset. She is upset but for a different reason. She can't find her car. I tell her it would be in the parking garage. She says the car is gone. She wants me to come find it with her. I want to find my room. On the way back to the parking garage I look in one of the rooms. My mother's car is parked there. My mother says she knew she hadn't parked in the parking garage. I tell her she is nuts. I leave the room. I want to find my own room but now the halls look completely different. That can't be right. I think I might be dreaming. I try to fly. The hall I am in used to be an interior hall, but now it is exterior. I jump off the edge and fly. I'm dreaming! Now what? There is a place everyone has been going. Everyone has been meeting at the moon. I want to go there. I look up into the night sky and I see the moon. I fly straight towards it. It is getting closer much quicker than I expected. Then it is blocked out. Something with huge bat wings is blocking my path. The wings flap down at me, pushing me back towards the ground. I am falling out of control. This wakes me up.

I am in a big storm. It is pouring rain. I am in my red Prius driving down the road. The road conditions are awful. This is the first time I have ever wished I had an SUV instead of a hybrid. I drive down the road until I reach a place where the road is flooded. I can't get across. Definitely not in a Prius. I turn the car around to try another route. I drive for a ways. Now I am in a blizzard. Somehow the rain has turned to snow. And the ground is covered with snow. I drive up to a big cave entering into the snow. I think it might provide shelter until the snow stops. I park and go into the snow cave. It is still very cold. But at least the wind is not hitting me. I go deeper. If I can get past the snow into a real cave then maybe I will be a little warmer. I keep going, past a couple of side passages. I peek into the next chamber. There is a man with a gun there! I wonder why he has a gun. I don't want to be seen by him since I am unarmed. I am trying to sneak around the edge of the chamber because I still want to go deeper. The man spots me. He shoots at me with a pistol. He misses. When he shoots he triggers the area of the ceiling right over him to collapse. It knocks him out. I go take his gun. I go deeper into the cave. Another man has a gun. He aims at me but I take him out with a single shot. My marksmanship surprises me. I keep going. The next chamber has two more armed men... but they have machine guns! I am way outgunned. I don't want to fight them. I turn back and take a side passage. I find a hand coming from a wall of snow and ice. I dig around the hand and find there is a man buried in the snow. I pull him out. I think he is probably dead but I find a faint pulse. The man looks like Vegeta from the Dragonball Z series, which is strange since I don't watch that; my younger brother does. It is actually Super Saiyan Vegeta. His hair is blond instead of black. He needs to get out of there to warm up. I carry him back towards the front of the cave. My car's heater should help. And maybe I can get him to help. I am almost to the front of the cave, still carrying Vegeta, when I wake up.
