Had my first lucid dream! Exactly two weeks to the day since I started keeping a dream journal, I was reading a book in the afternoon when I dozed off.
I walked outside of a house in some suburban area, instinctively knowing it was a dream. With an urge to fly, I thought I did not need to use my body to soar, only the will to want to fly.
I was walking with a woman I didn’t know across flat grassland towards a hill with a stone barrow on the top (like the bronze-age entrance graves I’d seen in the Scilly Isles recently). A sign said that the barrow was closed, but I could see people milling around it and inside it.
Towards the end of a longer dream, bouncing around in different settings and situations, I found myself sitting in a crowded, airport boarding-gate area. I was discussing my interests with friends and colleagues, one of whom was a retired general I knew in waking life. All at once, he waved a vibrantly glowing amethyst wand, and I became lucid.
I am at Google, and am sitting next to the CEO at a round table. About 40 people are in the room, getting ready for a presentation of ideas, lots of buzz in the room. I see the notes are on flash cards with complex diagrams (no words). It reminds how differently these people think.
I was dreaming that I was in my sister‘s house out in the suburbs of El Paso, Tx. I was seeing her house. It was kind of like the same one she lives in, but this one was new and bigger. Outside the window I saw it was raining, so I told my sister, ―Let‘s leave before the storm gets here.‖ When we were leaving I saw the sky was dark, a very huge dark storm was heading our way. I kind of felt the cloud carry something else.
Thomas Peisel Cosmic Whale I’m in a fancy apartment with Edward H. Macy. I can’t recall what we were talking about but at one point something out on the balcony catches my attention and I walk out there. This is when I realize I’m dreaming. Instantly an orb, (or what I took to be a sun) whizzes by my head. A second sun follows and the two suns dance in the sky.
I slept only 4 hours off and on during the night, and got out of bed at 3 am. I was experiencing so much pain that I finally took 1/2 of a regular Tylenol and went back to bed for a nap at 7 a.m. I awakened after one hour but decided to sleep some more.
I’m in a classroom and the teacher is talking about something that I don’t know. He comes towards me, looks at me and asks me “Are you prepared?” When he speaks, he smiles wickedly at me. I’m confused and anxious, and my anxiety increases more and more ….. at this point I realize that I’m dreaming. How pleasant! The anxiety disappears and I’m free!!
I was on a long walking tour, first alone, then together with a companion. But the companion was like an elder responsible brother. He always wanted to touch me, which was tiresome for me. I withdrew, let him go in front, and launched for a flight.

[I believe that I was awake. I think I may have partially went out of body and connected with the “wind.”] I am at S’s place, the bedroom is very dark. I am laying on my right side, my right arm bent down over my face.
