Fragment Something to do with superman fighting a number of Tanks in a downtown/city area. Lucid Dreams I count these as two lucid dreams since in some respects they were separate dreams and I actually got lucid, lost it, then got lucid again. I was at some apartment with <PERSON> Supposedly this was in the near future where we had graduated high school and started living on our own. (I am graduating this spring.) I can remember getting lucid through the old nose pinch reality check, stabilizing the dream a little, telling S that he was a dream character. It was at that point that I picked up a ball that was lying around the room. I began to use dream control to do this trick where I would change the color of the ball by closing it in my hands, looking away, then opening my hands and the ball would be a different color. The other dream characters did not really seem to care, and for some reason I wanted to entertain them. I thought about a daydream that I would had yesterday where I picked up a handful of dirt and closed my hand, when I opened it a bunch of butterflies flew out. I wanted to try the same trick with this ball, it was the perfect sort of thing to try in a lucid dream. I closed my hands around the ball and thought about what would happen when I opened them. I thought I felt something crawling on my hand. It was ready I opened it. No fantastic butterflies. All I managed to do was change the ball from plastic into putty. I was not disappointed however and began experimenting with the putty; how it felt and looked in the dream world. I could tell I was losing the dream and going to wake up. False awakening, I am in my own basement. It looks really realistic, but I decide to do a reality check because this looks like a false awakening. I do the nose pinch again, but for some reason I did it for a really long time, like 10 or 15 seconds. Okay, I am still dreaming. I decide I want to go outside and practice some more advanced dream control. (I do not get why I did not just teleport by dream spinning, I seem to forget that I can do that...) That said I begin making my way upstairs and paying attention to the fact that this dream, unlike the apartment dream beforehand seemed to be much more vivid. I was excited by how I could make out the patterns on the wood paneling we have in our basement. I get upstairs, and decide to summon some dream characters, or maybe my dream guide for help. I think that the best way to summon someone would be to call them on the phone. I look at the phone list on the refrigerator and all of my waking life friends are there. I cannot seem to find any unusual numbers that I would want to call, so I decide to go outside. S is back and he has pulled up in his car. I decide to get in with him and a bunch of random DCs. We all pile into the back of his car and drive off. After a minute I realize that this was a stupid idea and now I am stuck in this car, and cannot really move, and I am going to lose the dream. I wake up.
