Hovering

LD#13 DILD/WILD/OBE? Monday, 1/9/12 Bed 2am Before bed last night I read <PERSON>'s Lucid dreaming book, I just finished it, as a matter of fact. Last pages deal with inducing DILDs via MILD. Formal and informal suggestions. I specifically paid attention to part from <PERSON>'s book "The road to...", how don <PERSON> was telling him to look at his hands in his dream and <PERSON> did not understand, how in the heck is he suppose to do it. So I looked at my hands while saying "tonight in my dream I will look at my hands and realize I am dreaming". I also said this every time I woke up at night, and at WBTB. DR: 3am Lots of people, bunch of thoughts, activities about <PERSON> 6am-7:50am LD - woke up from LD at 9:40am I was trying to WILD, but fell asleep before anything happened. I had quite a long dream before I somehow realized I am dreaming. So this would be a DILD. But I did not look at my hands. I did finger/palm RC and it was the weirdest one so far. My thumb went in just half way into my palm before I stopped pushing, because it was so real. Not like a playdough in previous RCs. When I pulled my thumb out, there was a big wound that started to close up, I could swear, there was blood. Quite uncomfortable. But I also remember trying to roll out and levitate out at the same time and I remember hovering above my bed and not knowing how to stand up. That would be WILD/OBE. LD- I am in a big, one story house. Lots of rooms, lots of people. It is some kind of a trip. My mom is visiting, rest of the family has left. I tell her, we should go and do something, since she is the only one left visiting. There was a bunch of kids and cats. Someone put some chicken soup in the yard for their cats, so all the cats from neighborhood were hanging around the yard and inside the house. One kid got eye infection and we were like oh, great, not everybody will get it. I somehow realized I am dreaming. I am floating around in a house, propelling myself by touching furniture. Suddenly my left had gets stuck to the cabinet. I look, and the cabinet handle was just fixed with some strong glue. I have to pull my hand hard to get it free, it feels like skin from my thumb will peel off. I get to the room I was before and think about what to do, when I remember I wanted to look at my cats in OOB. I see both of them and they look normal. I squat down and call them. My boy starts hissing and backs away, but a kitten that I do not know goes after my hand and wants to play. Then I am outside. It is night. I remember I wanted to go to the moon. But I also remember, that I have changed my mind and wanted to stay close and explore the city. I look up and there is the moon, tiny, behind a mist and is rapidly getting smaller until it disappears. I start flying around, bouncing of bushes and trees. Everything feels real, branches hitting me in face, and I can smell jasmine and see it is small white flowers everywhere. Try to fly up but not much luck. There are 3 tree trunks, like a birch, but completely white. I try to fly to the top, propelling myself with my hands, but it is not easy. I wake up.
