Lumi's Pandora Lucids - my personal LD challenge

[Luminous]

What a night!  Four Pandora dreams!


I was sitting on the back of the direhorse once I was dreaming again. The female Na'vis stood up as I was dismounting the direhorse. It actually wasn't that easy. Neytiri was with them, and she walked up to me with a surprised look on her face and asked me what I was doing here. I told her that the direhorse brought me here. She stared at me, even more surprised as I told her that the direhorse had tried to give me some kind of message. She told me to stay where I was, and that the girls would keep me company while she went to find out more about this. She mounted the direhorse and rode off in a hurry into the forest. I sat down with them and they gave me somewhat confused and curious looks. Only one or two of them spoke any English, and not very well. I tried to ask them whose direhorse it was, but they didn't understand the question. They said something in Na'vi, and I guess they were saying that they didn't understand me. One of them seemed to remember some English after a while, and I think I told her that I had only been on Pandora for a short time, and that it was beautiful. It got dark as we sat there. I woke up.

I had lied down, though not asleep, when another Na'vi girl approached us. She enthusiastically said to me “Come! You must come!” and she took my hand and helped me up on my feet. Still holding my hand, she ran and pulled me with her. We ran through some bushes and onto a path. She just kept telling me to follow as we hurried off. It was suddenly daylight, so I tried to make it night again. I succeeded, and then suddenly woke up.

I was outside a stable near a forest. It was a sunny day, and I watched some horses in a pasture and some people riding by. I felt like running, though I didn't want attention. I transformed myself into a horse and started running towards the forest. I remembered the Pandora dreams, but I just wanted to do this first. I found a path and followed it. As I passed the pasture, several horses neighed after me, and the riders on the other side spotted me. I picked up the pace and galloped as fast as I could as I saw and heard the riders following me, shouting that a horse had got loose. I jumped several high fences which belonged to partially torn down pastures, which forces them to slow down. I decided to go ahead and return to Pandora. I simply changed the dream and I was again holding the hand of the Na'vi girl who was bringing me somewhere. We went off the path and around some large boulders. I then saw where we were going. I saw the tree of souls glowing ahead. A large group of Na'vis were sitting in rows in front of the tree, all connected and looking focused with their eyes closed. I believe they were humming something, but I was paying more attention to what I was seeing. Neytiri's mother, Mo'at was standing under the tree. The girl let go of my hand and gestured me to walk over to Mo'at, who was reaching her arms out to her sides. Intimidated and not knowing what to expect, I slowly walked up to her. She was friendly towards me, and gestured me to sit next to her. I sat down on the soft moss with my legs and tail to my side, and my hands in my lap. She took my braid in her hand, and as I watched, she connected it to one of the tree's long, luminous threads. Just as the connection was made, my avatar body gave a twitch, and an indescribable feeling washed over me, as if my mind was flooded. It was so overwhelming that I woke right up.

I was in a town when the dream started, but I quickly changed the dream to the last Pandora scene. I was sitting in the same spot, just having being connected. My eyes closed, and I saw abstract and some round shapes moving around on a dark background. They were mostly red and yellow and moved independently from each other. Then I also started to hear what sounded like voices, though I couldn't tell them apart. As this went on, it started to get difficult to keep my dream body up. I could feel it, but it got harder and harder to keep control of it. To avoid waking up, I let it fall over on its side. The connection stayed. I started receiving the message. Like with the direhorse, it was wordless, but I understood the meaning. “You need to be cleansed – bring your body”.  After I had received the message, I came around, and Mo'at disconnected me. I sat up, and the other Na'vis got up as well and started going back, looking like they were puzzled about something, and talking amongst themselves. Neyitiri and the other girl walked up to me and had me follow them. They said that they were taking me to their home and let me go to sleep, so that I could return to my human body and bring it here. We stopped in a more open area in the forest with several large trees. Mo'at approached me again and told me that she didn't know if Eywa had bigger plans for me than what we had learned for now. I had the feeling that she still knew more than me. I climbed up a tree with the other girl, and she pointed out a hammock for me. It looked just like in the movie. I got into it and curled up. It was actually really comfortable. I relaxed and closed my eyes, and I woke up.

I want to ride a direhorse now! I need to get back to Pandora...

I technically had two Pandora dreams last night, but I'm only counting the last one...

I was wandering around outside my old high school in the middle of the night. I remembered my intent to go back to Pandora, and my previous short Pandora dream. I decided to start over and I changed the dream scene. I found myself in the link pod. The lid opened, and the woman from the previous dreams was staring at me as I sat up. “What happened? Are you ok?” she asked in a rather loud and worried voice. I told her that I was ok, and safe with the Na'vis. I told her that I had to bring my human body to them. She said that we should go and have a meal and talk. We went to the cafeteria, and we sat down at a vacant table. I told her about what had happened. She listened with a surprised look on her face, and when I was done, she told me to go to my room and start packing, and that she had to talk to some people. I went to my room where I found a bag, and I shoved clothes from my dresser and into the bag. The dream fast-forwarded itself. It was now morning, and I was carrying my bag out of my room. She met up with me and some other people. They took me outside where a helicopter was waiting. I also heard at least one somewhere in the air. I took a few moments where I just stood there and took in the view around me. Holding my bag, I went to the helicopter with the others, and I then woke up.

The good stuff is at the end...

I was in a car with some strangers who seemed to know me. I don't remember who was driving. We were in a tunnel leading out of an underground parking lot. We were forced to choose between two exits, but you couldn't see where they lead to before you actually drove through them. The others talked about how they had heard rumors that the second exit lead to a certain death, and that everything that was left, was the cars. By accident, we drove into the second exit. It turned out to be a parking lot, but all the cars were abandoned. We realized that several of the cars had been here for a long time, so the owners were probably dead. We turned the car around and tried to get out the other way as soon as possible. As far as I can remember, the parking lot started to fill up with gas, but with some really fast and crazy driving, we managed to get through and back to the tunnel before a door closed us in. We decided to go for the first exit, because we figured there had to be a way out. But once we drove through, the car was suddenly hovering in air for a moment before it plunged into an ocean. We managed to get out of the car as it was sinking. It appeared that the car had been teleported with us in it to the middle of an ocean. I saw land not far away, so we swam over to it and found ourselves on a tropical island. There was a large group of people there already, the same thing had happened to them. We all walked around and talked to those already there, and I learned that they had no idea why they had been teleported here after driving to that exit. They believed that this was another planet. I explained to them that we had to still be on Earth, it looked like Earth, had the same atmosphere, day and night cycle, sun, moon and even plants. And they even had boats which had just been there when they got there. They were hesitant, as they hadn't seen anyone else there. I went on a boat with some of them to find back to civilization. I found this to be too slow, so I teleported away. I was close to the second exit. I knew that whoever was behind this was evil and only wanted harm, and possible profit for selling the cars. I decided to blow the hole parking lot on the second exit up. A girl wanted to stop me, saying that it would blow me up as well. I told her it was ok, I was insubstantial. I went in and placed several bombs around and detonated them with a big red button. I heard a boom and saw everything around me turn into balls of fire. It actually looked quite amazing. Then the fire burned out, and there was nothing but rubble and burned cars left. The dream changed, I was now standing on a road in a suburban area. I remembered the Pandora task, but I was hesitant to do it because I knew the REM cycle would soon end. I really wanted to go back there, so I decided to do it anyway. I teleported to the previous scene. I was carrying my bag and getting into the helicopter. The pilot was ready, and the others who were taking me got seated. I found a seat for myself and shoved my bag under it. I looked out the window as we took off. We were still wearing oxygen masks, and I imagined it would be a bad idea to sneeze while wearing one. I took in the beautiful scenery from above. We headed in the direction we had been going to the day before. Two helicopters were going in the opposite direction. As they passed us, I heard the radio conversation between the pilots. My pilot asked if the mission was done, and one of the other pilots said that it was successful, and they were going back to base. I wondered if I should ask about what that was about, but I decided not to. We didn't get much further before I woke up.

Wow... just wow. I had these three last night:

I was at my parents' house. I didn't want to be there, so I left and started walking away. My brother followed and wanted to go wherever I was going. I remembered my Pandora challenge, but my brother kept following and talking to me, so teleporting was hard because his presence demanded my attention. I managed to distract him when we walked past a school, and I ran away and teleported. I was in the helicopter again, flying over the Pandorian landscape. I enjoyed the view as we got closer to where we were going. I could see several Na'vis underneath as we started to descend. I woke up when we landed.

I was at my parents' house when the dream started. My parents were talking nonsense about family members, so I decided to just to go to Pandora instead of listening to them. I changed the dream scene, and I was outside the helicopter and the others got out as well. One of them had my bag. The Na'vis greeted us and seemed pleased to see us. The Na'vi girl who was with me the last time was there and seemed excited to see me. She seemed to find my small human body kind of funny, and she went down on her knees to reach down, and she hugged me. We went to the same group of tree which was close to where I had gone to sleep in my avatar body. Mo'at greeted me there as well, and I was free to walk around during the rest of the day. The dream started to go unstable at this point, the scenery kept shifting and a house appeared and disappeared. But the scenery still looked beautiful. No one really told me about what was to come, but I didn't ask either. I took some time to study some of the foliage up close, and I saw some beautiful flowers in various colors. I was sitting alone in the grass when I heard a beep from my oxygen tank. I walked over to the helicopter and met the other humans who were standing around and talking. I told the lady I've been most in contact with that I think that I was about to run out of oxygen. She went into the helicopter and got a new oxygen tank and told me that she would replace it for me. She told me to hold my breath as she replaced it, and it would only take a few seconds. I inhaled and tried to hold my breath, but it was impossible! I managed to exhale more slowly, but I couldn't hold it. She had replaced it by then anyway. I looked over to a cluster of trees and saw a small white building which I knew had to be a portable lab/cabin. I pointed towards it and asked if that was what the other helicopters has been up to. She confirmed so, and told me that I could enter. I would find my stuff in there. I walked over to it and entered. It looked like the one in the movie. I found my bag and opened it. I found a teddy bear with my things. I woke up before I made my way out.

I was somewhere in a nearby area with my brothers. I wanted to get back to Pandora as soon as I could, and I flew away and teleported. I was again on Pandora, and it was getting dark. I could see the glowing lights which came from the plants, but they were a bit blurry. Mo'at approached me and told me to get out of my clothes and wait for further notice. I did so, knowing that it at least wasn't real. I lied down in the grass as I waited for something to happen. I noticed that some long stems with flowers coiled themselves around my body. They stuck to me when I got up again as a female Na'vi told me to come with her. Having to now carry my oxygen around, I followed her. We approached the tree of souls. I could hear the Na'vis singing when we got there. She gestured me to walk up to Mo'at, much like the last time. I walked past the Na'vis, and up to Mo'at. She told me to lie down, and at the same time, I saw some Na'vis carry my avatar body and placing it with its head towards mine as I lied down. I noticed that they had dressed my avatar body in traditional Na'vi clothing. I curled up to my side and lied still, and I started to feel tiny threads crawling into my skin. It was painless, but it felt indescribably weird. This went on for a while as more and more threads came up from the ground and into my body. I heard some Na'vis gasp. I wondered why. My vision was blurred, and there was no telling if my eyes were open or closed. I then started to feel my avatar body rather than my human body. I opened my eyes, and I looked up, definitely being in my avatar body. I sat up. Mo'at took both my hands and helped me to my feet. It felt like something was holding me back, but I got to my feet. Holding one of my hands, Mo'at reached her arms towards the Na'vis and shouted something in Na'vi, which I sensed meant “it is done.” Everyone cheered. They disconnected themselves and started talking amongst each other. I looked at my hands. Surprised, I turned to Mo'at and showed her my hands, saying “I only have four fingers!” I woke up.

Time to update!

April 1st:

I was in a strange forest with random objects stuck in the ground. I quickly remembered the Pandora dreams, and I walked around while recalling the last dream. I got to the dream scene by flying so fast that the dream scene blurred, and once I landed, I changed day to night, and I was in the scene I had left it at. I was facing Mo'at while showing her my hands and how they had only four fingers. The dream went unstable so I lost what she said, but I gathered the meaning, that it was Eywa's will that I would be a Na'vi and be a part of the tribe, and that she and Eywa knew that I was ready for it. She proudly told me: "You are a Na'vi now" and walked off towards the village. The dream skipped ahead, but it was the same night. I realized that the people who had brought me here wasn't present, so I ran to the portable shack and knocked on the door. The area around it was quite bright from luminous bushes and moss. After a few moments, the woman opened the door, and stepped out. "Wow, look at you!" she said as she looked up at me. She only reached up to about my hip. One of the guys also came outside. They smiled at me until they saw my hands. They stared at me with their eyes wide open in surprise. I told them basically what Mo'at had told me when I showed her my hands. Wanting to know how this could happen, she asked me if I would let her take a blood sample from me. I agreed to that, and sat down in the moss as she hurried inside and got what she needed to draw some blood. While wrapping a rubber strap around my arm and poking me with a needle, she told me that she would probably be up all night analyzing this, and she had brought data of a blood sample taken from my avatar before I was linked to it. We bid each other goodnight, and I walked back to the tree village. My new best friend greeted me and showed me to the same hammock I'd used the night before, she told me that this was my sleeping spot from now on. I climbed into it, and lied down to rest. I wondered if Na'vis dream. I "fell asleep", and found myself in a lucid dream within the lucid dream. I was human again, flying slowly over a brown and gray city on Earth. It was evening, and it looked crowded and polluted. I found myself in the hammock again, and it was sunny. My Na'vi friend approached me and shouted "catch!" and threw a fruit at me. I caught it. I looked a lot like an orange, just somewhat smaller. I peeled it open. The peel was thick, and inside the fruit, there were some differently sized round fruit parts. I ate them, they were juicy and tasted great. They tasted like a cross between orange and apple, and also quite sweet. She walked off, and I went to some Direhorses which were feeding nearby. One of them, the same one that had given me the message and brought me here in the first place, walked towards me to greet me. I felt sure that no one would mind if I went for a little ride, and I connected my ponytail to it and hopped onto its back. It slowly cantered and slowed down at the tree village. Several Na'vis waved to us. I then got the Direhorse to turn around and go back to the pack. I walked back to the portable shack and met my human friends. The woman told me that the blood sample showed that my DNA had been altered when Eywa had made my Avatar body permanent. She still seemed surprised by this, and said that my DNA now looked like Na'vi DNA rather than a mix between human and Na'vi DNA. I asked if there was any human DNA left in me, but she didn't know yet. She had to go back to her lab to find out. She asked me how I liked it here. I told her that I love it here. They wanted to go and greet the Na'vis as well, and we all walked back. The Na'vis seemed happy to see them, and as they were busy talking, my first friend and a young male Na'vi had me join them to pick berries. They carried baskets made from dry, thick straws. We walked over to an area in the forest which was quite full of bushes with several kinds of berries. We were there for a type of berry that looked like blueberries, just larger and deeper blue, and growing on bigger bushes. I noticed that they had a thick sticky center when I picked them. I asked them if there were any poisonus berries on Pandora. They told me that there was only one which shouldn't be eaten, and it was white and uncommon. The girl pointed out the fact that I was left handed. It was rare for a Na'vi to be left handed, and they found this rather fascinating. I sped the time up a bit so that we would finish picking berries. Our baskets were then full, so we went back with them and gave them to a female Na'vi who were really happy with the amount we had got. She was going to use them to make/cook something, but I never learned what because I woke up.

I had three last night, but only two really added anything. I decided to see my human body right after having had my Avatar body made permanent:

I reentered fairly quickly. I found myself standing close to the tree, and I walked over to where I had been laying. A small girl was lying on her side, and I walked over and knelt down. It was strange seeing my “old” dream body like this. She looked around 18-19, and had black, flowing hair covering most of her face. The oxygen mask had already been removed. Some other Na'vis saw me kneel with the body, and they walked over to me. I stroked her face and hair. She was definitely dead, and it felt strange kneeling there and stroking her/me. She looked so small and fragile. I asked what they were going to do with the body. They said that they were going to bury it. They offered to hold a funeral for my old body, but I told them that there was no need. I meant to change the scene, but I just woke myself up on accident again.

I was back on Pandora again. I decided to explore the area around where we were staying. There was a tall and steep hill not far away, by an open area. I headed in that direction, alone, and I walked, ran and climbed all the way to the top. The view up there was amazing. I could see far over hills, and taller mountains by the horizon. After enjoying the view, I went back down. I walked around in the forest and met more Na'vis. I walked with them over to the entrance of what appeared to be a rather large cave. I could see torches illuminating a tunnel. Jake was standing outside, and I had a short conversation with him. He was happy to have me there. We went for a walk through the forest, and we walked past the meadow where the direhorses were feeding. The direhorse I had gotten quite familiar with came running towards me and stopped. It gently stroked its head on my arm, as if greeting me. I confessed to Jake that I kind of wished the direhorse was mine. He said that maybe he could arrange that. He walked with me over to a tree which some male Na'vis were sitting in. He climbed up and talked to one of them in Na'vi. He climbed back down and told me that the man didn't mind giving up the direhorse to me, as we shared a special bond. I was happy, and I ran back to it, and connected to it and hopped onto its back. I got it off to a running start, and we took off into a deeper part of the forest. I found a trail and let the direhorse lead the way. It seemed to get wider, and I could see what looked like old tire marks in the mud. The direhorse went on, and I saw some abandoned mining machinery by a small plain. I supposed no humans knew of it having been left behind there. I had the direhorse turn around and run back. I woke up before I got there.
