January 27, 2012 Synopsis: Lightly lucid, I help the dream characters learn to fly. Later, I witness birth life and death in a single horrifying moment. Lucidity and Total Life in a Moment I was at school, in a large open format classroom. There is not a class in session but there is lots of students hanging around. After what felt like a long time, I get the idea that I can fly. I look down at my feet and imagine myself getting lighter, light enough to float. It takes a moment but gravity gives way and I am airborne! Excited I start to dance in the air and fly over the classmates. Some of the students started to fly to. "Its a dream! You can fly!" My friend was having trouble, she told me "Its been so long since I have flown in a dream I do not remember how. I feel stuck to the floor" So I stand next to her and show her slowly, one foot at a time off the ground. After everyone gets their taste of flight inside school, the professor walks in and starts a different class. So we head to the backroom to continue our lucid exploration. "Let Us try walking on water" The back room was dark, dank, dirty, old and it had a huge sink. So we filled a bucket with water. "Okay, you first". The water was oily and slimy. "Hell no" I said "I do not care if its a dream, i am not touching that dirty water". So we dump it and try to clean the bucket real quick. But nothing we did worked. The water was still dirty and greasy. "Let Us try walking on water another time, at this rate I will wake up" I also remember talking to the other students while in that room and I remember saying "We spoke about dreams for hours" which I do not remember "And after flying, all in all it feels like i have been dreaming for five hours" We left the back room, I felt I could wake up any time now. I went back into the main classroom which was now empty except for a small group of students. The next moment was so vivid and horrifying, I forgot half of the dream. A group of students sat around a creature, moaning in agony. His mother was in tears. They held his hand, caressed his head and remained in sympathetic silence. He had white fur and blue eyes. He bellowed in pain as he swelled up and mutated and grew some more. I realized he was born just an instant ago. "What Is going on? Rapid development?" His mother continued to cry as he continued to grow, mutate and age. He cries out "why, why". His eyes were deep. There was anger, as life was stolen from him in an instant and he begins to die, fear as he dies, and gratitude that he lived at all. As one creature died another was rapidly born from the mutated mass. But I did not want to witness what I just witnessed again. I altered the dream and now these rapid development creatures were just mutants, but their life cycles were stabilized. Still they looked in the mirror and asked why. I woke up soon after, but that single moment of birth life and death stayed with me the whole day.
