Success! I had myself a dream last night.
The world was made of iron. It was futuristic, post-apocolyptic and there wasn't any green leaves or even plant life in general in sight. In fact, where fields had once been, there were rows and rows of identical, dirty machines, as if the future had found a machinic way to farm and replaced traditional farming all together. People were scarse. They lived in small familys or were bandits who lived off the roads robbing those who dare traveled.
I was visiting a family. In real life I didn't know them (however one did look an awful lot like a middle school history teacher whom we nicknamed the Wacko mixed with a high school librarian who seriously resembled a character from Lord of the Rings) yet in the dream I had met with them once or twice before. They had 8 kids, ranging in ages of course, all living with them. The house had many many windows even though they were all covered up with black garbage bags and also the house had a loading dock for which trains used to drop off food to the family, since train was the safest form of travel in this future.
Myself and a friend were staying with them (the friend I didn't know in real life so let's name him Jeffery). Jeffery was my age, twenty, so we worked well together and had a strong friendship. *He was hot, not gonna lie. Why couldn't I dream him to be my boyfriend I'll never know.* Anyways, we were staying with this family. We noticed right off the beat that the mother (the Wacko Lord of the Rings hybrid) was strict as hell. There was no husband to speak of, yet Wacko's sister stayed with the family too. Jeffery and I lived there and did chores like the others. It wasn't home, and we didn't like it there. We couldn't place out finger exactly on why, but we knew something was going on behind the scenes.
One day, after living there maybe a month, another family arrived. They were asian and dropped off six little asian toddlers before the parents left on their merry way. Jeffery and myself went and started playing with the toddlers. They were young and frightened with the new living environment and so Jeffery and I played with them to help them feel more comfortable and sure enough the oldest two of the eight original kids played with us. Wacko, however, didn't like this. After watching us play with the children, she locked myself and Jeffery in bathroom andwent after her oldest four children. (I don't know why she wanted four.) Jeffery kicked down the door and we ran outside for our lives to see Wacko setting up four hangmans' nooses for her own children! No wonder her kids were so well behaved, if they acted up, she'd hang them, dispose the bodies, and replace them with new toodlers! We ran to find the kids who were destined for the noose, but we could only find the two oldest whom we'd gotten to know. The two oldest ran with us to the dock where the train tracks were and hopped on the next train out which, luckily for us, was arriving right when we needed them. We hopped on and hoped for the best. The train led us to safety.
Well, almost. Jeffery and the two oldest got off a few stops ahead of me. I never knew what became of them. I stayed on until the train's last stop...a beach. But it's not the kind of beach we think of in today's world. This is a beach where lining the water is a huge and booming city. Iron machines and buildings making our common skyscrapers look miniature. One highway was in the sky and it was moving around like a gear shaft. This highway is important, because the moment I saw it, I realized I was dreaming!! My FIRST LUCID DREAM!! Now before I continue, I just want to inform you, I've never had a lucid dream before, nor was I very good at it.
Once I realized I was dreaming, I felt the dream start to fade, so I started rubbing my hands together as fast as I could, focusing on the texture of my hands. I had read before that this can help stop a fading dream. It worked. I looked up and I was still on the beach, but a friend had joined me. Cody! Cody is one of my best friends in reality and I was thrilled to see him. We went exploring this city together and I practicing my changing things in my dream skills. The first thing I did was play a prank on Cody. I created an old barn on the beach and inside I built a stage (it took me a couple of tries, it started out as a road no matter how hard i concentrated on it being a stage and then turned in to tree before finally becoming a stage). On this stage: Hannah Montana was performing a concert, just for Cody. I couldn't resist that.
Next we ran to explore the City. We found that the post-apocolyptic race had built the city directly on top of the city that was there before the world burned. we went down into the ruins and found tons of old symbols and abandoned secrets of the city before us.
Okay, pranks and cool nerdiness that I am aside, it was time to practice something I've always wanted to do but never have in a dream...Fly. I concentrated on a ramp. And sure enough first try it appeared. I focused on running on the ramp and jumping off being able to fly. Then Cody and I counted to three and ran at it. What my luck. Cody flew right off the end and into the sky. I, on the other hand, jumped off and did a back flip before landing on the ground. Now, back flips are pretty cool...but it wasn't flying. Ha ha ha.
The rest of the lucid dream lasted hours in my mind. And I won't bore you with me practicing to change shape and the like. There really is no plot points from here on out like there was in the beginning. I hope Day 1 of my diary was of some interest!
