Yes, I am back already with the next installment of Lucid Dream. Some of you are probably asking why I am doing a new story when I have two others that are in progress. Well, that's because I've decided I wanted to do a Halloween story this years and am going to do it with the next Lucid Dream story and I need to do this installment first. If you are new here, I have two other Lucid Dream stories if you care to read them. It isn't necessary to read them, but I do make side comments to previous installments from time to time.
Lucid dream: noun. A dream state in which one is conscious enough to recognize that one is in the dream state and which stays in one's memory.
Lucid dreaming is something I've been able to do for a long time. I can go to sleep and live out my dreams in books, movies, and games. I can become anyone when I dream, do anything, even the impossible. But I can do it too well. If I get hurt, I wake up injured. I think if I died in a lucid dream, I could die for real. I'm not going to test that theory.
Another thing, I'm not always in complete control of everything. Think of it as a butterfly effect. One change could affect the outcome of the story, for good or for bad. And since I'm not in control, I have to be prepared for anything. It's constant research on my part because when I dream, I'm given a goal. I don't always decide the goal, but in order for me to get out of that world I have to complete the goal. If I don't complete the goal by the time I wake up, I come back the next night and the night after until the job is done. I don't know why, but that's how it is. And I kind of like it. It gives me a challenge.
Welcome to my dreaming.
Okay, everybody, here we go!
