Taking off impossibly fast

I think I only managed this because I was discussing it with a friend during the day. But anyway, on with the show: I was in a huge city, not as big as London but a bit older. There were lots of old buildings around but then a tram line running right through the middle of it all. The sun was shinning and families and the people that lived there were milling around doing their jobs, it was actually quite busy. Then for some reason I started thinking about lucid dreaming, I looked around and noticed I was not anywhere I recognised. Then again that is pretty normal for me. I RC'd purely out of habit and it failed, I could breath. As I was about to walk off I realised, "woah woah woah wait what?! I can breath?! I am dreaming! ." But as I started to walk once more my vision went blurry which for me means the dream is collapsing. I hit the floor, desperate to keep this LD in one piece. As I felt the solid concrete beneath me everything became crystal clear. I could see every detail in everything, in fact I think I would even go as far to say I could see better in this dream than in real life. The colours were so vibrant and stunning, I wanted to stay here forever. Knowing that not to be possible I decided to get moving and try some stuff. I stood up, first things first go back to basics. I shot up in the air as the knowledge of flying came flooding back. The last time I tried I was still learning but clearly I was done with the basics, I was flying like a pro! Once above the main level of the city I had a fly around both to get my bearings and to get used to being airborne. After some time when I would got to know my way around a little I landed gently on the turret of a small castle within the city. Looking over the edge at the rather large drop to the ground I did another Reality Check just to be sure (even though I would just flown ) again it failed and I could breath through my blocked nose. This was so strange, it all felt so real even down to the slight breeze passing over me. Not wanting to waste any more time admiring I took off again. This time I flew past a kind of half stadium, the crowd saw me and cheered wanting me to do tricks. Just having mastered normal flying I did not want to fall and end up looking stupid so I just flew around a little bit. After a while I got bored of entertaining my own brain (they were all DC's after all). I landed nearby on the flat glass roof of what appeared to be some kind of mansion. I spotted something on the floor and out of curiosity I went to see what it was since dreams can conjure up strange objects. As I went over to it I lost lucidity I cannot remember what the object was either. But I am not complaining, it was my first LD in months and for a first one it was pretty amazing. Fragment: I was hiding behind a hedge from what I thought to be the police. What an amazing night DJ
