Mortal Mist

Brief Lucid.  2012 February 19.  Clarity 1/5 Awareness 1.

I was coming up the stairs, and I became lucid.  The dream looped, and I was coming up the stairs again, but I was non-lucid, and I was about to tell my father that I'd just had a lucid dream.

A chance meeting with Plague.  2012 February 22.  Clarity 3/5  Awareness 1.

I pass my mother's boyfriend as I walk out of her house and into her front yard.  I walk all the way up to the bushes near the front gate, where I stop and turn to look at my dogs.  I watch a small gray poodle try to jump over a smaller section of the fence.  He eventually gets it, and when he has his first two paws on the top of the fence, I realize that he and at least one other dog in the group are dead and that this has to be a dream. <_>  I do a reality check, and it gives unclear results, which confirms the fact that I am in a dream.  The gray dog turns into a brown poodle imitating my dog Lucy, but I'm not fooled by the dream's trick.

I turn and walk away, and I see Plague flying overhead in the sky.  (...)  I'm walking, but I turn and see Plague flying overhead in the sky.  I am me, but I am not me.  I am someone else, some beige dragon who I remember and don't care for in the least.  (Lust) Plague lands, simultaneously her and my German Shepherd named Pepper, and I/he latches onto her and starts trying to rut with her right there.  She tells him that she won't until she knows him better, but he won't give up.  While this is happening, I am able to look up and see Plague flying overhead in the sky.(...) (End of Lucidity)

Comments:   I have not the first clue what the hell happened there.

I am back inside again, and I'm looking at a clock and a barometer, both of which look like the wall thermometer my grandmother has.  I decide to take the barometer, (...) and I am on a bus, riding through my neighborhood.  The dream loops, and I am on a bus, riding through my neighborhood, but this time, the driver has no clue where he is going.  He turns off where he isn't supposed to, and I try to guide him back on course, but he goes further off.  I tell him to turn right ahead, intending to have him circle around and pick back up where he was supposed to have gone in the first place.

On the radio, there is a guy talking.  "We've all heard that we should invest in Scotland because of its beautiful weather.  (...) If you step out one morning, the weather might be nice, and if you step out the next morning, the weather might be completely different."  I thought the guy was right that you shouldn't invest in a country because of its weather, but I thought he got the reason why completely wrong.  I also wondered whether atmospheric pressure was a more accurate way of telling the weather than just looking up.

The bus driver turns right, and I see a building that looks like it has been charred and melted (courtesy of this image in chat yesterday, no doubt).  I turn and look behind me, and I see another just like it.  I think one of them was a Burger King.  I use some explicative that I can't remember, and wonder aloud at what happened.

Lucid.  2012 April 11.  Clarity 1/5  Awareness 2

This dream is possibly the longest lucid I've ever had (unless I had a false memory during the lucid of how long it was).  Before the lucid ended, I worried that I wouldn't be able to remember it all and tried to commit everything that happened to memory, but I was having problems remembering what had happened even from within the dream.

I was at my grandmother's house, back and forth between inside and outside, but mostly outside.  When I was outside, I was wearing a t-shirt and underwear, but when I was inside I was wearing jogging pants.  Towards the end, someone mentioned me just wearing underwear, and I was thinking 'so?  I like just wearing underwear.'  My clothing was wet, so I assume at some point during the dream it was raining.  I think there was also a talking cat in the dream, near my grandmother's swing set.

The biggest disappointment about not remembering the entirety of this lucid was that I had used my time in this lucid to conduct some sort of experiment, and I knew the results I had gotten would be useful, but now they seem to be gone with the rest of the experiment and lucid.

This dream is possibly the longest lucid I've ever had (unless I had a false memory during the lucid of how long it was)

Do you think there is much difference between the two?

Not with as little recall as I had.  If I had more recall, then it would become the question of how detailed the false memory was and how much there was to remember about it (e.g. If I had a false memory about half of an event, would it be possible to recall the other half)?

Had another brief moment of lucidity in a dream not really worth putting up.

HD Lucid.  2012 April 17.  Clarity 2/5  Awareness 2

I'm in my apartment talking to someone (cousin or brother, most likely), when someone else enters the door to my apartment building.  He tells me someone else just came in, and I ask him to go see who it is.  He comes back and tells me it's [can't remember the name].  I wonder why she is here.  From what he says, she seems to be here to see me, but from our last meeting she should be upset with me for what I did to her, even if she deserved it.  (Don't remember anymore, so can't fill in any details.)  I go out of my apartment and sit down on the stairs in front of my door, and when I look at her I realize that I am dreaming.  (I don't remember what the specific trigger was anymore.) 

I leave the building, and when I get outside, everything is amazing and vivid everywhere I look.  The landscape is dominated by greens and blues, and is mostly nature scenes.  They are so beautiful that I can't help but stop and stare for a moment.  I look up, and I see that the stars in the sky look like arcs instead of dots.  This is the second time this has happened in dreams (in the dream I think of it as happening every time, but this is incorrect), so I stop to examine it a bit closer.  There seems to be a thin cloud in there that has also gotten caught up in the effect.  I tilt my head to the right, and the arcs get shorter from the left end towards the right end, eventually becoming points and then going out the other way.  If I stop my head or reverse the motion of my head, the length of the arcs does the same.  I note out loud my thoughts on this so that I will be more likely to remember it upon awakening.

I decide to go out and further explore, (but I can't remember anything else that happened.)(...)

I eventually end up on a bus, where I let my physical desires get the best of me and lose lucidity.  The dream ends shortly thereafter. :facedesk:

Lucid with Rina.  2012 April 17.  Clarity 1/5  Awareness 0

All I remember of this dream is being in some sort of office, at a desk, and talking with Rina.  (I'm not sure if I'm channeling the dragon Clear in this dream or not, but I seem to remember that she seemed to think of me as him.)  Before the conversation stretches out too long, I tell her I should go before I lose lucidity.
