DEILD from an F/A

[Mortalis]

Hey all, I posted this in my DJ, but I'm not sure how many (if any) people read that, and I'd like some thoughts on this type of thing. The later part of the dream is pretty much the important part, where I pretty much DEILD'd from a F/A, and then pulled a dream scene from that DEILD(In an F/A) to a second F/A, while flip flopping back and forth between lucid and non-lucid. I've seen dream within a dream posts before, but this struck me as kinda weird since it involved a lucid technique in an F/A...lemme know what you think.. I was at a bar, standing up at the bar itself. There was music playing and lots of people were dancing. The bar owners then decided that whoever wasn't dancing had to leave, so my friends and I left. We looked around, but were unable to find any other bar, so we decided to go back to the original one and just sit outside. I ordered my drink, and just as it was being brought to me, I saw my advisor from college. I went over to say hi to him and invite him over for a drink, but by the time I got back, my drink, and a can of gasoline that had apparently been at the outside table with us the whole time (???) was gone. I went inside to see what was up, and my friend who was at the table with me called me over to a different table they had found inside. Another buddy of mine who was a waiter there told me that they had poured out my drink and given away our table because I got up and left to say hi to my advisor. My other friend who was at the new table had already ordered another pitcher of beer, and poured me a pint. The problem was that I took one little sip and the pint was half empty. At this point I went back outside and saw my backpack and my jacket sitting on a picnic table ***This is where it gets complicated and also interesting*** At this point I became semi-lucid, because I knew my dream was about to end, so I decided to do a DEILD. I had a false awakening into the back of my friend's car and tried to picture that picnic table exactly, closing my eyes and concentrating. I was able to do it, and had entered a DEILD (??Maybe??) from a false awakening. In my dream (in a dream) I was floating above a cow pasture, but among the cows were lots of zombies and body parts. *This may have happened because of a zombie reference made by Dwight in a recent episode of The Office that I watched last night* I then had another false awakening form the DEILD into the same car I had been in before. I didn't notice that the zombies were still there and told my friends about the dream with the cow pasture and zombies, and one of them turned to me and said "don't you still see the zombies?" It turned out that from my DEILD from a false awakening I had pulled a dream scene into another false awakening **Note: My concept of lucidity here isnt that good because I think I was lucid for many moments throughout but never for long**

I often use DEILD within a dream (lucid or not) in order to change the dream, prolong the dream, or to control some part of the dream. I also DEILD often during FAs (because I DEILD prettty much every night whenever I awake from a dream). It is cool that it worked for you too, even though you had a hard time hanging on to your lucidity!

Cool, thats interesting that you are able to do that as well seeker. I think it would be a great way to keep the LDs rolling, ill keep trying it from now on.

Great dream! Dields into fa's seem to be common and normal, and they seem to be fun. Do you ever tell your dcs that you're dreaming? If i had that dream and seeing all the people dancing, i would have walked up to a dc and told them that i was dreaming. Then maybe you should have a converstion, maybe about lucid dreaming?
