I am really happy, because I have had a new lucid dream. This one rocked, although I did not quite get to do all the things I wanted to. My top dream goal is to reach an amazing place, built from my imagination. I know every place in a dream is built from my imagination, but I want to go somewhere of my choosing. My parents and I were in an odd, slightly medieval looking house. The house was on a bank of pebbles, in a very shallow lake. Around the lake was a big cliff, so we were in a sort of basin. After some unmemorable things happened in the house (something to do with losing a rubber ball I think), I went into the lounge, which had a door to the outside. I suddenly gained awareness that I was lucid. I do not remember doing a reality check, but I may have done one and forgotten. My thoughts went something like this: "Am I dreaming? It is so realistic, just like waking life. Amazing." I walked around the lounge, touching objects and looking at them close up. Then, I stepped outside onto the dry pebble bank. "Now it is time for some fun! I will try exercising my powers" I thought. I would read about people using the kamehameha attack from <PERSON>, so I decided to use that for practice. With a confident attitude, I drew back my cupped hands. "<PERSON>!" I shouted. A blue beam of energy fired away from me, and fizzled out. Hah. Then I had another idea - I remembered they used hand signs in Naruto, so I thought anything was worth a shot. I tried to form some hand signs, but I could not do them correctly. I managed to pull it off, however, because I shouted the name of a made-up attack as I did the hand signs. It was something like: "Landslide cliff destruction!" It worked. The cliff face shattered - huge slabs of rock broke away from the cliff, and collapsed into the lake. This is where things got a little bad. The mass of the rocks falling into the water caused the water level to rise in an exaggerated way. I ran back inside and slammed the door. The water level was as high as my chest outside, but luckily the door was water-tight. Somehow, I ended up back outside, standing on the edge of the cliff, looking down on the lake. The lake seemed to stretch out for miles, with no end in sight. I find this in a lot of my dreams. To lower the water level, I used a ninja hand sign and said something about the moon, and dragons. The main point was for me to convince myself that I was using a real ninja power. The water exploded in certain locations, releasing bursts of steam. In no time, it was drained of most of its water. I decided to put it back to normal, not empty, not full, but just right. Using another power, I sent spouts of water into the lake. That topped it up just right, so it was shallow but not empty. I went back inside. "Where can I go that is highly populated, so that I can speak with people and maybe because some havoc? Somewhere I have not been before..." I pondered. Then I realised - New York! I attempted a dream spin for the first time. I started spinning round and round, and I thought "New York, New York, New York", picturing the busy city streets in my head. It was surprisingly hard to keep the image there, and I had to concentrate hard to keep thinking about my destination. I stopped spinning, and the last thing I saw was the interior of a prison cell, before I woke up. So much for New York!
