LUCIDITY ACHEIVED.
Holy wow, I did it! I just woke up about five minutes ago from a full on, lucid dream!
It started with me at work, in the kitchen. Everything was very hazy and dark, so I closed my eyes and concentrated on being invisible, as there were my coworkers in the kitchen. I was leaning against the steam table with the soups, and Michael and Winter were standing there, and they could see me . . . Winter accidentally spilled soup on my shoe, and laughed to Michael about it. They were being friendly with me though, and weren't acting like I was behaving weirdly with my eyes squeezed shut. I decided that I would go somewhere else, so I went out to the hostess stand and tried something I've never done, namely sinking into the ground. First I tried it face first, and only got in a few inches, then standing and I quickly sunk through the floor. I did this for a while, but it all just stayed dark and I started to feel a bit suffocated. Not wanting to lose the dream, I looked up and saw the sun shining very brightly, and made my way for it.
I burst out of the ground right near the entrance to the Cafe, and just as I was about to zoom off, I notices a panhandler/bum near the doorway. I slapped my hand into his, happily putting a large sum of money in his hands, something like $500 before flying to a corner of a rooftop. He was looking at me, saying thank you, thank you! I felt kind of conspicuous, but I wanted to follow him and see what happened, so I flew to another rooftop. I saw him go into a small store, and followed in through a window on the second story, where I found myself on a floor overlooking thr ground floor. It looked like a consignment shop/curiosities shop, the kind of place where you can find interesting jewelry, clothes, purses, stuff from other countries, etc. The bum was excitedly telling the people in the store what had just happened, and I was excited that my attempt to make a lot of money appear in his hand had worked. He was describing me, so they'd know which girl from the Cafe it had been, and he described me as the one with "the big boobies, a little flat tummy, a little round butt" and I was kind of appalled that this dirty old man was being so frank with all these women in the store, but they were all nodding and saying "Oh yes, kelly, isn't she "bzz bzz bzz" oh yes I heard she was "bzz bzz bzz", gossiping about me and getting mostly everything wrong.
I ducked into a room, feeling upset that they were gossiping about me so freely. I looked around the room. It was mostly empty, with a man behind a small desk. I looked at him, said "Why do you keep showing up?" because he looked vaguely familiar, and then noticed the furs and hides hanging on the walls. This excited me, and I took one bearskin off the wall and draped it over myself, looking at myself in the mirror and making dramatic, proud faces. I was intending to go back into the main room and make a scene of some kind, really give all of the gossipy women in the other room something to gossip about! The man was kind of bewildered, but wasn't moving to stop me, and I felt kind of bad for him; he was just some guy in my dream, and I had burst in on him and started messing with his pretty hides on the walls. So ((oh god)) I decided, hey, he isn't bad-looking, he seems like a nice guy, and this is a dream, so I will have some fun and make his day! And took of my shirt with my back to him. I could see him in the mirror, and he was startled but happy about the situation. I intended to maybe give him a show, MAYBE fool around ((because come on, dream sex is the best sex)), so I walked over to him with the bareskin draped over my shoulder, topless. He was grinning and blushing, and I asked if he would like me to make some coffee. He accepted, so I started to fiddle around with a small coffeemaker he happened to have sitting near him. I ended up not putting in the filter in correctly, and knew the coffee would be full of grounds.
Just then, a matronly woman came in, saw me, and looked very startled. I was kind of embarassed, but still confident, as she asked (her son?) if he was ready for breakfast. He said yes, and led me over to a rough-hewn wooden table with several small chairs. I was a bit put out at not being able to have my fun, but I hadn't been terribly enthused about it anyway, and several more women were coming in and sitting down. There was some confusion as to where I was to sit (they had some kind of pre-arranged seating pattern already in place), and I was trying to be helpful, and one woman just said "No dear you are fine where you are, go ahead and have a seat." I sat down, and noticed with surprise that there was a stylised, very kind of primitive representation of the four protagonists from The Wizard OF OZ carved into the table and stained with color. I put my nose to it to see more closely; it was beautifully done, if very simple. Then one of the women (who were all dressed in very early american clothing, like 16 or 1700's, long plain skirts, roughspun materials, very plain and industrious) put a bowl of cereal in front of me. This is the weirdest part of the dream, I think, because all the pieces of cereal were very intricately assembled parts, to make whole characters that you were supposed to eat, and they were from a cartoon series called "The Woebunnies", one of whom was a pink robot rabbit. I said to myself "this is really odd, is that even a real show?" And that last thought woke me up.
Whew! Well any of you who actually read all that, thank you. Oh, just now remembered a bit, as we were sitting down at the table, I said to the man something like "I supposedly have a problem with arrogance, I should work on that." Which I do think the dream shows in several ways. But hey, I was having my first controlled, long lucid dream in a while and was feeling pretty good about myself, so I'll forgive it!
I am ninety percent sure that the man was one of the characters in an incredible movie that may very well still be playing wherever you are, and if it is YOU HAVE TO GO SEE IT. I was going to make a post about this sooner but completely forgot and I could just kick myself, because this movie is just indescribably beautiful and pure and honest and good and real and powerful, and it's called "The New World." PLEASE PLEASE go see it, you WILL NOT be sorry. I saw it three times, and would see it again today if you asked me! Anyway, he was not a very likeable character in the movie, but this wasn't the same guy, just looked a good deal like him. Also the skins, the proud faces in the mirror, the early american clothing, I am sure I got all of that from the film.
GO SEE THE NEW WORLD PLEASE
A few closing thoughts: Next time, I need to remember a few tricks I have learned in my reading on Lucidity. Most importantly, rubbing/clapping my hands if things start to get murky or start to fade out . . . if things get REALLY foggy, I need to remember to spin in place! Also, periodically need to say "CLARITY NOW" or a similar phrase, to help bring things into focus so I don't lose the dream. I am overall very very pleased with my success, hope I can have another one soon! WOOOOOO!!!!
