lucid dream #2: direction didn’t work
<Warning: useless personal trivia blog-entry>
In last night’s dream:
i painted a fabulous picture and hung it on the wall in my garage
At this point I was unable to distinguish between dream-state and wake-state. The fabulousness of the picture was a clue to dream-state I completely missed. Then:
i went upstairs from the garage to gather friends to give me constructive feedback on my picture.
This is when I realised it was a dream because:
my home was full of beautiful people having a party.
Nice, but not realistic that I’d be in the garage painting while there was a party going on upstairs. I’m not a complete Sociophobe. Now I know I’m in a dream things could really start to swing pleasant ways for me:
I herded a couple of trusted friends to the garage which had unexpectedly morphed into a flea market. We pushed our way through the crowds to where I’d originally hung my painting.
It had been sold! I couldnt show it to my friends as promised.
Lucidly I tried to find out
who to? how recently? could I get a photograph of it? an address of the purchaser?…..
NO joy
I cried
Non-lucid behaviour. It was a beautiful picture, I wanted to keep it. The picture had gone and the dream wasn’t letting me find it using typical wake-state strategies. Lucidity didn’t help me out on this one. Next time I’ll try something more radical and less ‘realistic’ like
- simply go somewhere-else and just ‘find’ it there.
- forget about it… …theres fun to be had!
