Screaming or howling

Well, as any of my readers might already know, I do not really have lucid dreams. My dreams are more like that of memory fragments that are very realistic, and slightly terrifying at times. My point is this: A week or two a friend of mine suggested that I try lucid dreaming to counteract some haunting nightmares I would been having. I did some research on the subject of dreaming lucidly and found out the basic beginner's trick to knowing when you are in a lucid dream. I had kind of gotten the idea from Inception, but regardless, it works ALMOST every time. People would often say for beginners to think of a bright, easily recognizable object. After seeing that object appear you would know you are now in a lucid dream. At first I tried to think of something like, a neon green dodge ball, or fiery puppy, but nothing seemed to work, but then I watched Inception. They used small inanimate objects like a chess piece or a small top, well I then tried that the following night, and it worked! I am not going to say what the object (because it is very personal and I do not think the objects original bearer would appreciate me just telling everyone on the internet what object kept us such good friends). Once I was lucid, I think it would be safe to say that all hell broke loose in my subconscious mind. At first I just got out of bed like i had woken up in the middle of the night. It was so real I was afraid I was actually awake! To safely test my theory out, I punched my brother in the face. Instead of waking up, his entire head was dismembered and the things inside it spread all over the wall. I felt so amazing, so I shot a blast of fire at the wall and flew out after my large, white Angel wings had sprouted from my back. I was drawn to my school for some reason, so I smashed a whole in the ceiling and landed in the cafeteria. It was dark except for a few candles here and there. In the middle of the room was one of my good friends, uh, <PERSON>. Before I continue I should mention that she is a very well behaved teenage girl, who would never do anything bad past... okay, at the moment I cannot think of anything bad she would do, but anyways... She was laying in the middle of the room with a syringe in her arm. I rush over to her and hold her up due to the fact that she did not eve look like she was breathing. I pick her up and she begins laughing like a maniac. She holds up another syringe in my face. "Dude," she says tiredly. "You should... totally, try this stuff!" 'What the hell is it?!" I asked concernedly. "HEROINE!!" Then I realized I was in a dream and I pulled a Daedric Dagger out of nowhere and stabbed my leg. The next thing I know I wake up screaming, because I was pinched my leg so hard that I started to ooze blood. Anyways, that was my first successful attempt at lucid dreaming. Hopefully in the future I will try to have longer and more intense dreams. I will also being doing some research in shared dreams and will attempt one of those. Dekaron, signing off!
