GOING TO JAPAN ON FOOT
I discover a pier with many boats, all kinds from yacht to speed boat. I begin to wonder whether i can use one to finally get to Japan in a dream. There are 2 guys sitting around the building there, and i'm busy considering the plausibility of a speed boat being a good mode of transport to Japan in a dream... I mean i wonder if i could possibly super-speed that thing and get there in time-
those guy's interrupt my thoughts and ask me questions. I tell them my intentions, and they tell me they want to come along. I agree, but they seem to be taking so long to get themselves together. They take so long i become really impatient. I begin to over think the whole plan, like how those boats might belong to someone and that it would be wrong to take one etc... I begin to feel real bad, i just want to get out of here. I just want to get to Japan, i get up and fly away (it feels like the only way at the time).
So i head off in the northern direction. i fly, run, manoeuvre over buildings, and doing well.. but not fast enough so i attempt high speed flying.. it only lasts a few seconds before i have to push off again or some buildings get in the way.
..It feels like it has been at least 20 minutes of constant effort now, i want to know where i am.
I look around and notice Parliament style gardens, buildings and a tour bus. This must be Canberra (capital of the next state). I'm so happy i've made progress! yet there is still so far to go.. i wish i could have taken that speed boat, but i keep going forward without a single delay. I'm somewhat impressed that my intuition is keeping me going in the right direction (north). It feels like i just have to trust it, because it feels right. I press on..
At some point a grey hooded male follows me for a little while, he seems of no threat if i just keep going, he just seems like a semi-lucid DC doing his thing, and simply curious as to what i'm doing. He disappears after a while.
At some point in my journey (at some small town between Canberra and Sydney) i begin to become a little disheartened, this dream has been going for such a long time, will i really make it to my goal? <:(
I find myself wandering around a small house where some people are having a party. Some strange female dressed in some villain outfit meets me at the side of the building and catches me. She somehow grabs me and hangs me up side down on some pole. OW! She proceeds to poke me with some electric rod thing which really hurt, and keeps paralysing me.
Its a familiar feeling back from when i used to have nightmares, so i know i have to simply fight her. I shout "Stop it!" which doesn't work. So i spend a few minutes fighting and trying to cut myself down while she keeps zapping me. I finally get down, but after all that i feel quite drained and too weak to continue my flying..
I am forced to change tact. I enter the small house and find a mirror. Perhaps i can teleport (i had chosen to fly rather than teleport because i'm just not so confident with my teleportation skills.. but its finally come to the crunch). I walk through the mirror hoping i'll end up in Japan. I enter the dark grey mirror world trying to imagine a scene, but nothing is coming, my memory of places visited in RL Japan is really bad. So instead of emerging in Japan i emerge in the yard outside the wall behind the mirror. The familiar gum trees indicate i'm still in Australia.
I'm disappointed and want to press forward.. The dream begins to fade and i wake.
Back to sleep.
I'm in a class room full of school kids, i remember my mission to go to Japan, so i walk around the room looking for something i can attempt another teleportation on. I find a tall mirror just like in the previous dream! I walk through without delay, this time determined to find a scene i remember from Japan. Walking through the darkness, i find only memories of lucid dream scenes of Japan, this is not good enough, i keep concentrating harder and then, i find one memory of a city street scene i'm pretty sure i've been to IRL, that just borderlines as adequate. I enter this scene.
I emerge in a similar building to before with school kids only they are all Japanese, and there is some music playing.
A large group of guys walks outside, and without thinking i follow. One girl tries to stop me asking why i'm following them. For some reason i ignore her question because i'm hypnotized by the music.
Once outside, i turn around and head for the roof, i jump up there, but catch only the gutter, its hard to get up. Meanwhile the guys who see me laugh, i say in Japanese "moshi oshiri ga debu....tte gomenasai!" which in my broken language was supposed to mean "if my butt is big i'm sorry". I finally get up there and there are soft drink cans up there.
One guy who apparently knows me, asks mockingly why i'm up there, i tell him its because of all this
rubbish the boys had thrown up here, and i hurl the cans at them, some were half full.
(purple means i sort of fell into semi-lucidity)
