I became lucid in my bedroom downstairs and continued up the stairs while yelling 'increase lucidity!' the whole way. The dream became extremely vivid, almost lifelike, and i walked out my front door. It was a nice sunny day and for some reason there was a black cat sitting at my front door. I said hi to it and many more black cats randomly appeared, maybe 5 or 6 more. I thought maybe this was my dream totem but then decided against it. I then thought i would create my dream totem and pull it out of my pocket. This first thing that came to mind to create was a small red wooden cactus so i imagined it and pulled it out. It was about the size of my hand and was originally green but i turned it red. So i guess this is my dream totem:) Anyways, the dream continued and i tried convincing my friend this was a dream but he didn't care. I woke up immediately after into a FA and did a RC and was in a dream yet again. I dont remember what happened in this LD though.

Ive got myself a totem that Ill use as an RC and Ill see if it works in a dream next thing is to "incept" a friend of mine

I managed to use my totem in the dream I managed to establish an SD, however I failed to incept my friend

-I fly out of my window and wondered what I wanted to do, I remembered about my totem I wanted to check. I see my totem floating above me about a meter away, I float up and grab it and flip it over, it's the same smiley face but the smiley face's one eye was growing smaller with every flip. (Ahh good enough I guess) I wake up

Inception
WS and I went to see the movie Inception last night. I had this vague recall of my dream as Pebble (our infant daughter) woke me up in the middle of the night… I am waking up on the third level up to the second level. I know it’s important to time the ‘kick’ and wake up into the next level and this takes a lot of my concentration. I manage to do so all the way through to waking up in the real world… which I then promptly forgot the content of the dreams on the other levels as I was more concerned with waking up on all the other levels at the same time!?!

A well known book character enters the cargo room. He is also a stowaway. I remember the LD4all post from 10 years ago, and a quest i want to do, and walk up to the DC to enter "his dream". It takes courage even if i am lucid, because he is an elf that is taller than me and makes a very powerful impression.

The dream jumps in a way, and i am the elf. I have come as far as i could go...i have an idea that all my energy is used up, and sneaking away on this ship is a last, desperate chance to either die or see my family again. I am still with him as a "voice" inside the mind. I "whisper" to him about how he can just as well expose himself to whoever he run away from in the first place, because there is nothing left to do anyway. The DC is so exhausted that he listens surprisingly easy.

I am the DC again and feel completely numb while i walk towards a door. It opens into an empty room. I sink down on the floor, and sit covering my face while somebody appears from behind. It seems to take ages waiting, but i know that it is only seconds. The unseen DC touches the book character, he starts crying and they hug. I wonder if they are close family. None of them notice me, and i like that.

-FiXato, i, and a couple of DCs are trapped in some kind of industrial building. There is loud noise from outside, and i have a feeling that it comes from battle. The air smells bad, like smoke and rotting garbage. The building's floor and ceiling look like they are made from Carcassonne tiles.

After it finally gets quiet, i notice that it starts to rain. The rain feels like an incredible relief. It smells sweetly, and makes me sure that everything is ok and the crisis is over. We run outside in the rain and i dance happily, looking up at the sky and singing. At the same time, i slowly realise that it is a "made up story" we are in. I tell FiXato. He smiles, but is very curious about the rain. I try to convince him completely of how the rain is 100% positive. We agree to enter a lucid dream together, so i can show him, in "Inception" style.

We come out in green grass, on a hill close to high mountains. I remember now that this is really a dream, and smile at the "false lucidity" in the previous dream. It is very funny to me that i entered a "more real" LD when i pretended to enter a "more fictional" dream.

We start walking towards the mountains. The sun is high, and will soon disappear behind the mountain tops. I remember walking here in several earlier dreams, and tell FiXato that there should be a rangers' cabin before we cross the tree limit, and an astronomical observatory where the path start to climb the mountain side with steep bends.

A stag jumps across the road ahead of us, out of the forest. We stop to see if deer are following, and hold each other while standing still. It feels like we have all the time in the world. This scene is so vivid, and so relaxing...we stand like this for a long time before something wakes me up.

-We are still on vacation, somewhere. I know that my mother has had cancer for three years, and that she is hiding the fact from the rest of the family. I can't remember how i found out this, and i can't find any evidence of it in the "medicine closet" or any other place in the house. Nobody else seem to know, apart from my mother, and my father. I remember a comment my father made in real life, and it all makes perfect sense to me.

This false memory or idea was very persistent after i woke up

The LD started in my bed when I noticed such an insignificant thing as me wearing pyjamas(I quit since the summer). I immediately did a simple reality check, then flown out through the window and as I was thinking of what to do, I immediately thought of Inception. Then I went a bit further to the mayor's building and there was Dicaprio, J.G. Lewitt and Z. Deschanel(she wasn't even in the film, lol) already wating for me with the dream machine.

Dicaprio pointed out it was raining so I made it stop and Dicaprio took a leak before he plugged me into the machine. After he activated it, I was on the verge of waking up but instead I only woke up from the "dream within a dream" and Dicaprio said that, a critical failure like this has never occurred before. I wanted to wake up, since it went so horrible and the machine got damaged, but Dicaprio insisted we try again, so we did and this time it worked and I appeared in Z. Deschanel's dream.

It was a sunny city full of people and after a while of admiring it, I tried to destroy it. First I made all windows around break and then I made the famous city burrito roll as seen in the trailer. When it was close to me, I stopped it and people around cheered as if I saved them. After that, Zooey got mad and told me that I shouldn't destroy other people's dreams like that and I explained to her that I am often very weak in my own dreams so I wanted to test my power in someone else's dream and didn't expect to be so powerful as to be able to roll a city. Dicaprio was impressed and then I finally woke up, just lying there and thinking about that dream for half an hour Thanks for reading.
