Had a bit of lucid dreaming experience last night - I don't normally get these unless there's something in the dream so patently bizarre that I realize I'm dreaming.

I was in another city. I think that it was Orlando. Gaia had decided to relocate to this city, because we had gotten a really good deal on a compound sort of thing, land and a lot of buildings. There was a sort of large meeting hall, a diner, a shower room and gym, and several other buildings involved. The whole feel is like a video game, as if there is a specific sequence of events that has to happen in order to advance, and I have done it many times, and I know what to do. I drive around until I arrive at the compound, to a building in which [livejournal.com profile] kittenpants, [livejournal.com profile] triadruid and I live. [livejournal.com profile] kittenpants is home, and we decide to go up to the diner. Somewhere in here, we go trick-or-treating, but I don't remember how that happens. We go to the diner, and are sitting over our trays, talking about fundraising. There is another person at our table, who is in the discussion with us. It might be [livejournal.com profile] druidevo. They get up to throw away their tray, and in the five seconds that they are gone, a black woman in a red shirt who we do not know sits down with her tray in their seat. We look at her, but she ignores us. We get up to move to another table. She says we're racists. We are confused - we just got up to move to the neighboring table with the person whose seat she has taken.
Later, we are in the shower room, changing for something. The finance discussion continues. I accidentally open the shower door on an older woman with very grey hair and very pink skin. [livejournal.com profile] kittenpants tries to apologize to her, to cover for me, but she is shrieking and having none of it. We have to leave here, too. We go back home, and [livejournal.com profile] triadruid has just gotten home. Suddenly, there is a mouse. It streaks across the room, and is pursued hotly by Psyche. She pounces on the mouse and we stare. She licks it twice, then bites off its head. It is at this moment that I realize that this is a dream.

Wait, if you can tell it's a dream, that's lucid dreaming? I always thought there was a requirement for being able to change your actions/environment based on the fact that it's a dream...maybe that's the advanced class.

But that thing about Psyche? That's just weird, man.

This is true. I just didn't feel like sharing what I did after I realized it was a dream :)

That sounded awfully flip, but the thing is that once it's lucid, it's practically a conscious process, and the purpose of making the records is to get a handle on the unconscious processes. I'm not sure that conscious acts against an unconscious landscape count.

Nah, I understand that it's a different process and not part of the original experiment; I was just making sure I understood the definition properly. I usually realize I'm dreaming; whether or not I can affect the dream is an entirely different question.

I wouldn't venture to dispute that :)
It's just not the thing I'm studying.
