Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid Lucid #116: Dive Bomber in Darkness I am walking out of the lobby of a hospital, some important errand on my mind. When I head through the bank of automatic doors into the night, I am confronted by a huge crowd of reporters and spectators that are hanging around like something important is about to happen. Is this a dream? Yes. Looking into the crowd, I see my high school physics teacher, "Mrs. C". I walk up to her. "[Mrs. C]! I know that you have been waiting, like, forever for me to go on Draw Something. Sorry about that. How have you been doing?" "Oh, that is all right!" she says. "My wife and I have been doing great." This is strange -- Mrs. <PERSON> has a husband, not a wife. He even came by the school a couple of times. "Well it was good talking to you," I say, and I step back from the crowd a bit, thinking about my next move. I remember wanting to go to <PERSON> so I decide that will be my goal for this dream. But just as I am making my plans, I notice that one of the reporters standing nearby is extremely attractive. She is about 30, probably half-Asian, and lightly freckled. I start thinking very sexy thoughts before catching myself -- if I approach her, I know for sure that the dream will only head one way (and not to <PERSON>.) I back quickly away, my mind still going sexytime. The reporter stops speaking into her microphone, looks directly at me and says, "I think I love you." I put out my hands and kind of wave them around. "No! No, you do not! I am sorry, that was my fault!" Immediately she returns to what she was doing, forgetting all about me. Okay, <PERSON>. I scan the horizon but there is nothing to really use. I could just start flying and try to work from there... As I am planning, I start thinking about the good-looking reporter again. Okay, I really need to get out of here... I allow myself just a moment to imagine that the top of <PERSON> is right behind me. Then I fling myself backwards as if I am jumping off of a cliff, imagining myself going over the falls. There is a weird moment where I am stuck upside down, my head sort of embedded in the sidewalk. After a couple of awkward seconds like this, I wind up in the void. I rub my hands together, then imagine that I am falling along the falls. Almost immediately I feel the spray of water against my face and arms. I point myself facefirst at the ground, arms tight to my sides. Air rushes past my skin as I gather speed. I feel myself going faster and faster, air filling my mouth. I keep "falling" like this for at least 30 seconds, and the sensation is so awesome that I do not even mind not having visuals. I feel amused that "<PERSON>" is so incredibly high that I can skydive like this from it. I wonder how long this can go on. Even though I am enjoying myself immensely falling through the darkness like this, I know that I need visuals to complete the task. I try to focus on what this should all look like but the intensity of the rest of the experience has me a bit distracted. The dream ends before I can make it all come together.
