An account

Usual WBTB. At some point I was in a nonlucid, where me and my mom and a couple other family members I think, were driving around a mountain and got stranded. We were hungry and thirsty, and there were no buildings for miles, and no other cars or people. We were standing on the side of the road on the edge of the top of the mountain in despair, when I thought I saw a tiny smoke ring appear from over the side of the mountain. I watched transfixed as the ring dissipated, then I saw another, and another! So I walked to the very edge and looked down, and I saw a reststop with some cars, and a guy was smoking a cigarette and making smoke rings. Yay we are saved! I told everyone to stay put and I climbed down to where they were to find food and water. After I made it to the parking lot, I saw a tourist center, so I went in and looked from room to room for a vending machine, or water fountain, or something. I looked briefly in this one room, and it looked like a little kid's classroom. For some reason this made me lucid, because it seemed so out of place. I laughed, and was like YEAH! Then something really strange happened (well, strange for me): The little classroom that had once been perfectly clear and realistic, suddenly became all wibbly and unstable. Like I had gone from straight sober to stinking drunk in that one second that I had realized it was just a dream. This was a revelation for me, because I had always assumed that I had visually unstable lucid dreams alot, because my nonlucids must also be unstable. Since I am not fully aware of nonlucids until I am recording them the next morning, I was never really sure if maybe I just was not remembering the instability. Whereas in a lucid, I am aware of the dream in the moment, and notice the instability. This proved that it was just something stupid in my brain, some mental block or schema, that was causing the dream to become unstable the moment I attained lucidity. Anyway, I remember being really wowed by this, but I was having trouble making things look better. So I just left the room and then left the visitor center to have adventures. Immediately across the street, I saw some kids playing under the canopy of a car wash. I said "Hey kids, watch this!" And I flew up into the air, and landed right by them. They were like "Wow." So I was about to take flight again, when one of the boys grabbed my leg right as I took to flight. He said "Take me flying too!" He was a heavy little twerp, so it was hard to gain altitude at first, so I had to put some effort into it. I made it just above some electrical wires, then landed again. Then I guess I decided to get stupid and went back into the visitor center to make a sack lunch for my mom. I found a break room with a fridge, deliberated for minutes upon minutes as to what I was going to put in there. I got too wrapped up in that, and woke up. The TOTM never once entered my mind. I preach this all the time kids: Have a Prepared To-Do List for your lucids. Otherwise, you may end up flying around like an idiot and making lunch for your mom.
