Ryan's Dad Ruins Dreams
I had a lucid dream!
Alyssa = bitchy roomate from Santa Cruz
Jordan = Alyssa's boyfriend, my friend
I was traveling to sacramento with someone (I don't remember who) and when we got there we ran into Jordan and Alyssa and some other people we knew from school. I was really surprised and excited to see them both. I gave Alyssa a hug, and then went over to Jordan and he and I gave each other a huge hug and he kept kissing my cheek. We just kind of stood there arm in arm and I was wondering if this was going to piss Alyssa off. I think all the people we ran into there were watching some sort of show.
Then it was night time and I was riding in a police car with Jordan. He was actually wearing a police uniform and driving the car, and I think he had somehow stolen the car and uniform as a joke. We were driving through the woods in Santa Cruz and were lost. Another cop walked up to the car to talk to us at some point, but believed Jordan was a real cop and just asked him a question or something. So the cop left, and Jordan and I came to a fork in the road. We decided to take the road on the far left because it looked like it went uphill. We took it and it eventually came to a clearing with a huge parking lot on a cliff.
Jordan parked the car, and when I got out of it I didn't realize that we were right on the edge of the cliff, and I fell backwards off of it. I fell for a couple feet, but then hit a platform and Jordan helped me climb back up. He said something about how I should be more careful. It was now sunny outside, and there were a bunch of people sitting in a group the grassy clearing. As we were walking over to them, this dog started to run toward me like it was going to attack me. I kicked the dog away, and it kind of flew through the air for a while, then landed on it's feet and started to run at me again. Jordan had now turned in to Ryan, who was standing next to me just watching. This is when I began to realize I was dreaming because while the dog was running at me the second time, I really didn't want it to bite me, so I willed myself to succesfully kick it again. Then I realized that I was controlling what just happened, and now I was in total control of this dream.
I turned to Ryan and was like "Ryan! We're dreaming... we can do whatever we want". And Ryan was like "what are you talking about?" and then I just took his hand and we both jumped off the edge of the cliff. I started trying to fly, and Ryan didn't really get it so I let go of him and he floated back to the ground. I had to work really hard at first, like kind of kick my feet and swim through the air, but because the cliff we had been on was so high, I had plenty of room to get used to it. Eventually I was just soaring over a desert and then this huge suburban city and doing flips and stuff in the air. I flew around for a long time, and felt like I had to land for a little while. I came back to the ground and kind of got sucked back into the dream again. I went to a show with a bunch of girls. I was waiting for it to start and I noticed that water was starting to collect on the ceiling. I realized that something was leaking, and then a huge pipe burst somewhere and the whole room started to fill with water. Then as I was leaving I thought to myself "oh wait, duh, I'm still dreaming, why am I doing this". So I started to fly again.
I eventually flew to a big city with a bunch of skyscrapers. Before I went to sleep the night I had this dream, I had been on the phone with Theo and he was saying that if he could control his dreams he would try to be spiderman. So I decided that sounds kind of fun, and I would try that. I started swooping between buildings like spiderman, but I couldn't get the web to come out of my wrists so it wasn't working. I gave up on that and just did some more regular flying. But at this point I had done a lot of that so I decided to land and think of something else to do.
I landed on a huge tower thing way up in the air. Ryan's dad was there. He was talking to me and distracting me and I knew he was going to suck me back into the dream. I got too stressed out about it and wolk up.
As this whole dream was going on, there were some other dream themes going on that would kind of drift through my mind. I think Ryan's dad was part of some huge drug-related mind-control operation, and Ryan was one of his victims, and I was supposed to be but I was resisting it. Also I would occasionally be able to see this huge map of California that showed where Ryan was at the time. He was apparently doing a lot of traveling, because there were dots everywhere. The only place I remember him going was called "bobo".

One thing that was so crazy about this dream was the leak thing. When I wolk up this morning my mom said the plumber was coming over to fix a leak in the ceiling.
The leak thing is definitely crazy.
I blame the word "bobo" on Justin.
Also, i can't help but see the whole lucid dreaming/flying thing as an illustration of faith. Like you said, at the beginning, you had to work hard because you weren't really sure you could really do it, but once you started flying, then you obviously believed, so you could do it much easier. Kinda similar to my last lucid dream where i couldn't actually fly, but could only leap really far (kinda like the Hulk). I just didn't have enough faith. Pretty interesting analogy...at least, i think so.
yeah the bobo thing was definetly because of justin. i dont know about faith, because i always have to work hard to fly in a dream and if i try enough i always do it. i thought the thing about ryan's dad was interesting... i felt like he was my subconscious mind trying to make me lose conscious control of the dream.
That dream is nuts on many levels.
It can also be an illustration of riding a bicycle or public speaking... or peeing in front of people... basically anything that takes mental preparation. You think about God too much, Brian.
who said anything about God? i just said faith. YOU were the one who mentioned God. NOW who's thinking about God too much? hmmmmmm?
check MATE.
You mentioning words like "faith" and "believe" = you mentioning God
yeah i definetly got a god vibe from your comment, sorry... i still liked it though
