Growling

I find myself in a white void with heightened awareness. I do a noseplug and I become lucid. I understand that a dream is about to begin from this state, and want to give it a jump start. I begin trying to visualize some shape and colors, yet nothing vivid is created. I few darker curved figures begin appearing as I try to envision a DC, but nothing solidifies. I decide to simply meditate for the time being. I cross my dream legs that I become aware of, and enter a mindful absorption. A thought goes through my mind that this feels like a waking life mindfulness meditation. After a few minutes, I begin to see a rectangular figure appearing. It gradually begins forming into a sliding glass door. A dream scene eventually fills out, and I have the thought that the sliding glass door probably leads to the backyard area in M Street. With the brief thought, I phase through the glass, and find myself in the backyard of M Street...of course. I am really enjoying the moment outside on the back patio. The vividness of the dream is very very high, and my mental presence is quite high. I am very happy just being there. I decide not to stabilize. I remember one of the dream goals of simply walking through a dream-scape slowly, without flying, and simply taking in my surroundings. I feel very grounded and stable in the dream, and love the feeling of actually walking slowly and deliberately through the lucid. I appreciate the small blue tree in front of me which resembles a pine. As I wind around the right turn by the pool, I stare at the dark blue water and the ripples. I think back to sivason journal from the previous night and decide to simply lay down a bit farther down on the pavement and stare up at the stars. I head a bit farther, lay down, and simply gaze up. It feels very similar to stargazing in real life, just more...surreal! It is very relaxing. I get up after a few moments and continue walking around the pool. I reach the other side and lay down once more. I see a small black figure several yards ahead and think of how great it would be to have an astral animal companion in LDs. As I am nearly in a supine position. I am aware of a stealthy,lithe, dark beast - resembling a panther - growl in a deep tone with low volume as it comes by the left side of my head. I notice very thin, light green swerving patterns throughout it is body. The head does not have clearly defined eyes. I actually feel my heart take a sudden pound. I am aware it is my waking life body responding to the powerful presence of the beast, and quickly affirm to myself that it is just a dream and my entire body calms. I begin to raise and intuitively understand how to tame the dream beast. I stick my hand out and to the right to where the beast is making its way around. As my hand comes out, I intuitively change a two syllable tribal chant in a commanding tone. My head turns as I say this, and I catch a glimpse of the beast. I understand the taming command has been successful. I find myself a few yards up the path all of a sudden, yet the beast is no longer present. I enter a white void for a short period wake up briefly. *and go for a DEILD
