Moving in formation

5-10-06 Fifth Lucid Dream This makes LDs two nights in a row. Pretty cool. I went to bed at around 11:00 and got up at 5:45. I was not planning on going back sleep, but at 7:45 or so I laid down again for a little power nap. And I had this dream. It started as a non-lucid dream. I was driving up a hill in my car. I was looking for a graveyard. (I have a friend in Rhode Island who I have been doing some research with involving graveyards in RI. And this had to do with that research.) As I was driving I suddenly thought, "Wait a minute--how is it that I am acutally in RI ?" At that point I realized that I was in a dream and that I was now lucid. I remember thinking "Hey, this is getting easier. It does not take much to get me lucid these days". I looked down at my arms and hands holding the steering wheel and noticed I was wearing my red long sleeved shirt. In all my past LDs, as soon as I find I am lucid I take off flying. But I was in a car this time driving down the road. I was actually curious about what I would do. I decided to focus on the windshield with the intent to change the scenery outside. The road in front of me become fuzzy and then changed to clouds and sky. I was proud of myself. I now needed to get out of the car (for some reason opening the door did not come to mind). I wanted to make the car around me disappear. I focused again on the windshield and made the windshield disappear. That was good enough for me as I now flew straight out into the sky. I noticed it was strange that I could not feel the wind or the coolness of the air like in my first two LDs (That is something I have to work on. Flying is not the same without the wind in your face). The thought now hits me that it is not the middle of the night for my sleeping self, but somewhere near 8:00. I was afraid someone would disturb me and I would wake up, and I was not ready to wake up. I knew I needed to hurry. I decided that since this dream was originally about finding a graveyard, I wanted to fly to a certain graveyard in RI (EX022). I knew from my first LD that I could not fly the traditional way or I would never make it in time. In fact I did not even know where I was at the moment. I would have to instantly make myself appear there. So I concentrated once more on the sky ahead of me and tried to make it appear as Exeter, Rhode Island. It started to get fuzzy and change.Then I woke up. I am never ready for these dreams to end. This dreams gets me excited in several ways. First, it is the second lucid dream in two nights. Second, I did not have to have one of my traditional dreams signs to get me lucid. It happened without a lot of thought. Third, I was able to remember my goal of trying to learn how to change scenery. Fourth, I was actually able to do some scenery change. I am hoping that with practice I can master it. I am getting better, and more confident with this ability.
