Level of Lucidity (1-10): 9 | Dream Signs: flying, | Mood: Relaxed
My sleep has been light and unrefreshing for the past month, and I've been more concerned with good sleep than being lucid. Today, I took a day off from work and a much needed mid-morning nap, and had a nice, long lucid dream.
I don't know why I know I'm dreaming, but I feel it strongly. I'm in the subway, coming up the stairs to the street and I decide to test my dream. In the waking world, we're in a snow storm today. In my dream world, I decide to walk up the stairs to summer. And it happens! I emerge into bright warm sunlight. Everyone is in light clothes or swim suits. I always indulge myself in lucid dreams, by undressing, fondling and having sex with women at random. This time, I also try conversation, walking up to two women in beachwear. I smile and say hello, and they smile back and don't resist at all as I do what I usually do in these dreams. As I start to lose the vision of the dreamworld, I look at my hands. Why does looking at your hands work so well at keeping you in the dreamworld? I see my hands in incredible detail, and I'm able to continue to explore this strange changing landscape.
I find myself on a second-floor terrace, in an outdoor restaurant. This time, I decide to fly. I am a little worried that I'm not high enough up for the flying to kick in, but I dive toward the street. I don't so much fly as skip like a stone on flat water. This is unsatisfying to me, but I can't do much but bounce off the pavement until I hear a dispute and then I am following a car, really flying this time. Real life intruded several times, waking me - a siren, street sounds, muffled voices. But each time I was able to reenter my dream at almost the same place.
Lucidty faded and a normal dream took over, which was interesting to me in its own right, but not worth repeating here.
It had been so long since I had a lucid dream, I forgot my list of to-dos: walk through a mirror, fly to a country I've never been before, think of someone and have them appear, transform and experience the world as a dog/wolf/lion/dolphin/woman... Actually, my hardest task is to dream lucidly more often.
