While reading <PERSON> Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self, he touched on the concept of a dream review committee. This reminded me of an LD I had a few months ago during a nap: Weirdest dream I have had in a while. The dream was basically a series of scenes, all of which had me lucid dreaming. I cannot remember every scene, but one had me getting into a van next to a car that two guys were robbing, driving off, and them chasing me. Since I was in full control, I started creating things to throw at that, starting small with bricks all the way up to gallon barrels of gas. The only scene I remember REALLY well was walking into a magic shop. When I am lucid dreaming, I tend to play along with the dream, then go mega deity on it, but the store clerk knew it. He started talking straight to me saying, "I am the one thing you cannot change." I created a sword, stabbed him, and it went through. Then, I turned and this stuffed bird started talking saying it would teach me a lot about real lucid dreaming. I spoke to it, and kept saying I would be more powerful than anyone. Realizing I was losing control, I reigned the dream back, only to have the store clerk fight that and manipulate my manipulations. Finally, he tossed me out of the scene into a series of scary scenes with him somewhere in them (think G-Man walking around). He looked a lot like <PERSON>, but I think it was because it was a magic store, and I imagine all Magic Store clerks looking like that--douchey. I woke up, terrified. As when I sleep on my back at my parent's house, I get this sense that someone or something is in the room. I ignore it because I did not want to move out of sheer terror. Eventually, the feeling passed, but I was scared to go back to sleep for a while. Weird, weird dream. So, here, I was assessed of my dreaming abilities, did not accept it, and was punished. I did not take into consideration that this was an assessment of what I can do lucidly. Going to investigate this.
