Lucid Dreaming
last night i had my first run-in with lucid dreaming. after 24 years of never quite getting there, i had two in one night. it was incredible. to create, manipulate, and of course, fly - never been so thrilled. i created ships that got larger and larger until it was actually frightening to see a moving object with that much mass. every cabin on the thing was mine.
it started in a dream i had about teaching. i was being observed by a higher-up who was hated by all. one of my students was very obviously trying to hint at the fact that he had gotten a ‘special phone number’ and REALLY wanted me to ask him about it. i didn’t, because i was balls deep in a delicious sandwich. when i finished, i finally asked him “did you get a pretty lady’s number?” ”Yep”
that’s when the observer made a snide remark like “oh, you finally remembered you have kids to be teaching. great.” that’s when it hit me. i replied “no. it’s tuesday. this is the week off we have for chinese new year - this is a dream”
of course, things got strange after that. as you can imagine, being lucid while dreaming is fucking insane. the reaction of this dream-bitch was a frozen expression of some sort of mid-laughter/mugshot hybrid. at that moment i wanted to see what i could do, so i decided to make all the desks and tables lift-off the ground and then come crashing back down. it worked, and from there on, the night was amazing for me.
