WoW! what an experiance! I woke up around 5:30am and stayed awake for 30min before going back to bed. I woke up again after the LD and the tme read 8:30am. I figured it took up to 30min to fall back to sleep, which puts the length of this LD at my longest ever. Also, keep in mind I’m 24 years old and this is a first time dreaming of anything like this place.
As soon as I fell asleep, I entered the dream and was instantly lucid. [color=blue]I found myself in a city with hundreds if not thousands of people. This was no ordanary town. The buildings all had a shine and very slight aura about them. Some buildings were very large, others were quite small. All the streets were paved in stone. I did’nt feel like walking through the crowd to look about the city, so I jumped up and flew over them to get a better view. To my suprise, I was not alone in this. There were many other people flying over the city as well.
I spotted a mid-sized two story house, built in the roman-style, so I decided to fly down and take a look. When I entered, I seen there was a party going on. As soon as I walked into the door I was greeted by the “head of the house”. He was a young man about the age of 30 or so. He invited me in to look around and stay as long as I wanted. I looked at him carefuly to notice how real he seemed. He looked at me a bit odd for it. He smiled and turned back into the crowd.
I walked up the stairs after a quick tour of the first floor. I turned right at the top and entered a large room. There was only a hand full of people in this one. One of which was a short girl in her mid twentys and the most beutiful thing I’ve ever laid eyes on. She invited me into the room and introduced me to the others.
“how long have you been here for?” she asked me. I told her I just got here. Then she once again asked “No, I mean how long have you been comming to the capital, is it your first time?” I told her it was. She must have noticed how confused I looked at this point, so she started to explain. She told me this was the Lucid Capital, the hub of the Lucid world. Many people come here to gather and some head out on Dream adventures together. This BLEW MY MIND!
She continued to tell me that she has been comming here since she was little, and always to this very house and this very room. She became best friends with everyone in it. I asked her how she always ended up here instead of falling asleep and ending up in a far away dream place. She explained to me that she always “woke up” in her bedroom, and all she had to do is step into her closet. “When I step into my bedroom closet, I know it will always bring me here.” I think are the words she used.
We sat there talking for a long time but I forgot most of the conversation. She then asked me if I wanted her to take me around the city. I was quick to agree. Not only can I learn more about this place but I could also spaend more time with her. We flew out the window high over the city. She pointed out various places of interest. There was a dream arena, where you can do battle or other things without worry of harm, but mostly houses, like the one we came from that were used as meeting places between friends.
She explained that if you wanted to go on an adventure with people all you had to do is fly out of the city, and once you passed the city limits you would be teleported to where you wanted to go. She also told me that the Lucid Capital could not be reached from those that dont know it’s there. You could not fly along in your dream and stumble upon it. In order to find it you have to know its there and teleport yourself into it. She was telling that dreams are a list of endless destinations, a shot in the dark to where you’ll end up. When you revisit places in your dreams, you’ve been there before, making it easier to get to. The people in the Lucid Capital found it the way I did, luck. It just so happened when I entered my dream, I popped up in it. Once you know it is there you can return to it.
Still while flying around the city she went on even more. She began telling me that the city is always changing. “How?” I asked. She told me not to think of the city as a place onto itself, it is not set in stone. The Lucid Capital is one large scale shared dream. The city is created by those that are there. The layout of the city, the style of the buildings all change with the thoughts of those who are in it at that time. That’s why no two buildings are the same and location of them are never constant. That’s whay she uses her closet to get to that room, she may never find it by looking for it. It wont be where or look how it does now.
We ended up back at the room we left earlier. We sat down next to eachother silent for awhile. I was trying to comprehend all that she told me. Over the next what seemed like hours, we got to know eachother pretty well. We knew our likes and dislikes, favourite colors, ect. I never asked her real name. You didnt tell your real name only your dream name. The best I can remember her dream name is Tyre Fairglow. I told her to call me Sparta, my nick i use for Guild Wars.
We sat next to eachother even longer…just looking at eachother. She had the brightest teal eyes. I grabbed her hand. We leaned toward eachother and kissed very passionatly. The room was empty now. I dont have to tell you what happened next, because I dont kiss and tell but I’m sure you know what happened. I will say this, WOW!!
Later, we sat next to eachother and talked more on a personal level. It seemed like I’ve been there all day, and asked her how long I’ve been here. She told me that it was’nt as long as I thought, and that time seemed like it did’nt exist here. I’ve spent a total of what seemed like two full days at the Capital with Tyre. It is always night there but you can tell the “day from the night”. During the “day hours” the sky seems more of a dark navy. The “night” of course is darker and with millions of the brightest stars you’ve ever seen.
I wont bore you with what happened for the next “day or so” but I will say that it realy does feel like I spent two days there, and cant wait to try to return tonight. I finaly found the girl of my dreams. Unfortunatly, thats exacly what she is. I cannot let myself dwell on this too hard because I have a waking life I have to attend to also. Who knows, maybe next time I meet Tyre Fairglow, It wont be a dream. [/color]
