Hey Guys! I am somewhat of an oldie here, but my quest for Lucidity has finally hit a milestone… My first LD (Along with my first completed goal).
A little about my quest, I started last year, achieving only better dream recall and a Fake LD (An LD where you act as if you are in an LD, but are still not aware).
I somewhat forget about how my dream started, but I was driving, and my car’s brakes were out. I had a huge fight with my best friend, and got in two spinouts (going off road) because I would slam and pump my brakes (IRL, I have Anti-Lock Brakes, btw), and I still couldn’t get them to go. I went home, and when I walked inside, my mom had a black-haired friend who kind of looked like this one actress (I don’t really remember her face, but I remember black hair and a comforting face). I told her my brakes were out, and she said “I don’t care”. So, I yelled at her and told her that I was going to drive it anyway, and she said “All right”. So, I start to drive my car, and I spinout again. I drive my car in reverse past “WEIRD SYMBOL” road (In hindsight, I couldnt read it… LD SIGN!), and I went to Chestnut street, a street behind mine. I went in reverse until I got to a huge mansion with a huge party and lots of cars parked outside. I went inside to find out it was a dinner supporting a White, Smug political candidate. Long story short, we got into an argument and he said “Listen son, you’ll never come into my house again”, and I left, driving my car in reverse, home. I hit a guys car, but didnt stop, but then I hit an old ladys car. I would have kept going, but she turned around and stopped me, so I got out of the car. I quickly explained to her “M’aam, my brakes are out, I am so sorry!”. While I stood there holding up my car (LOLZ!), she started to say, "Well, that’s quite all right. Ive had the same problem. I asked her if I could write my information down, but she wouldnt let me. (Dream Sign! Described earlier in my journal) She said “You can fix the brakes from inside the car”. I agreed, and went on my way, being sure to hit “Override” on my all new touch screen, brake fixing car. I drove home, and my car was acting fine until I got to my street. (Still driving in reverse) I pulled up to my curb outside my house, where my car died, and got out. My mother and father were there. I got out of my car, and I had a huge, worn out, old van! (I drive a '99 Pontiac) I said, “How did this happen?”, but my parents just blew me off. My dad even said, “It seems like a fair trade,”. (LOL!)! I went inside and there was a time flash.
I was then at a mall in a nearby town. There were stores everywhere, but I never looked at the signs. I walked into the mall, up the stairs, into the food court, into the arcade, and into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror, and it all hit me. “[i]This isn’t how this mall looks. My car isnt a van. I’m Lucid!”
I quickly began spinning like I usually do when I become lucid, but this dream was too vivid and alive for me to give up that easy. “Lucidity times One Thousand!” I screamed. I was still losing it. I muttered out four more words before almost passing out. “Lucidity Times One Million!”
BOOM! I was alive, and moving, and I was lucid. I started running out the bathroom. I ran out of the arcade, and out of the food court. I was desperate to do the first thing to prove me that I was lucid, by looking at the sky. Looking at the sky would be a sure fire sign I was dreaming, I know.
So I was rushing out of this mall. It was taking forever. As I ran down the escalator (In a huge hurry), I spotted a friend of mine. I quickly ran past her. As I ran outside, I realized that I had gone deaf since my lucidness. I remembered the old lady and the Politician, as well as my Mom. I quickly shunned those thoughts. I had to get a glimpse of the sky! I was even more distracted when I heard a cyclist pedelling (sp) around me. That familiar bicycle “Click, Click, Click” reminded me that time was almost up. (And was the only sound I heard throughout lucidity) After I ran outside, I realized I was still in the building somehow, so I took a hard left over to a small overlook on the second floor of a mall structure. It had small, block windows scaling the 50-100 foot wall facing out into my dream world. As I ran, I finally got to the window and looked up.
And there I saw it. And It was one of the most unexpected things I have ever seen in my life. I expected crazy colors of pastels, rainbows, and auroras. An abyss of neverending hope.
I got the opposite of hope.
I looked up and the sky was overcast. Black clouds covered the sky. There were huge strips of lightning between all of them (THere were thousands, but I only paid attention to two) The two I saw were seemingly connected by a neverending lightning bolt. I looked to the ground in disbelief outside the window, to see that I was trapped inside a floating structure, with everyone else around me unaware of the immediate peril around them. They were simply… Shopping. Unaware of everything around them.
In utter shock, I fell backwarkds. I felt myself start to twitch, and I started to feel like I was having a seizure. I felt the spinning, but after my huge shock, I decided to let the dream come to its end. Too much shock for one night.[/i]
My dream tried to tell me something, I know it. I tried to explain it above, but its so hard to explain. Its like, I realized that all of this stuff was destroying the physical universe, and was grounds for absolute chaos, panic, and disturbance of peace. But, other than the view of the high, white tiled ceilings, my last view of the dream mall was everyone just walking, buying, shopping… unaware of everything going around them. And right before I left my dream, I saw a deep black Mozilla Firefox web browser pop up in full screen in my minds eye, and the only thing visible was the white URL box, with the blinking line… but with no URL.
And for those few seconds, I heard the “Click, Click, Click” Of the cyclists bike, just like life was ticking away.
