Spontaneous lucid dream. First one in years (had two others people where I just flew around). When I am in my dreams, I completely surprise the people around me by being able to levitate, and glide along the ground. Sometimes raise my body up to 10-20 feet as I almost fly. Angling my body around to change direction, and being able to increase speed by leaning forwards and decrease speed, or come to a stall by leaning backwards. I have often told myself that I can only do this in dreams, and if I find myself doing it in one of my dreams to realise that it is a dream. Well, that happened. I am flying around in my old medschool campus, and realise hey, I am flying, this must be a dream. I keep flying, gliding around and come to rest in a garden where people are listening to a talk. I see a beautiful lady being pestered by this guy who is hitting on her. I know now I have seen her in other dreams. I go up to her and kiss her, and she smiles and I lift her up off her seat, carry her a couple of steps and walk with her. She is happy I have saved her from the sex pest. I am walking with her, and tell her this is a dream and I am completely lucid. I know that she is a theta healer, I have seen her in other dreams, and can also recall that there was a time she slept with someone else at another conference. She think's it is cool, and helps me down a staircase and let us me into a room where I meet a group of my old friends. Everything seems absolutely real. Solid, obeying laws of physics. I tell him I have realised I am in the middle of a dream, and so are they. And they do not believe me. I say, I can prove it. And they do not believe I can. One of them says Hey <PERSON> wants to prove to us that this is a dream, and asks a couple of guys chatting to be silent. I say, 'Okay. Count your fingers!'. (you cannot count your fingers, and or use light switches in dreams). And they absolutely shit when they find out. Lots of shouts of whoa! WTF! as they all realise that it really is a dream. I pick something up, a tiny bottle filled with a yellow liquid and I say okay, let us test things out a bit and think about throwing it on the floor. I wonder about pieces of glass, and spilt liquid, that other people have to avoid after I do this. And just as I start to hesitate. that is when the dream completely dissolves and I am awake again. Maybe my mind just could not handle keeping so many lucid consciousnesses alive in the dream. Heck, it is a surprise I was able to keep the lucidity going for as long as I did. The last lucid dream I had was around 5 years ago, when I counted my fingers, realised I was dreaming and instantly took a couple of steps, took a jump and started flying. I think now this realise I am dreaming when I am flying thought has been firmly embedded, I might just have a lot more lucid dreams. Unless that thought makes me stop flying now. But I do not think so. I fly pretty often in my dreams, and in an earlier dream tonight I realised I spooked an elephant when I was flying, and it started to attack me, and I had to drop down to the ground and dodge it standing on the other side of a pillar and.. okay, that is another dream and another story.
