Saving a Dream

I'm lucid. I might be riding on my bike. I'm moving at fairly high speed.

I'm going down a hill, and somehow come off the road, onto the nature strip. I see myself (and almost fall into third person perspective) - yet the difference is I'm increasingly lucid. I allow myself to just watch.

I let myself spin, fall out - make no effort to control the event. It's as though I have a second motivation - I want to understand what it's like to fall totally out of control but remain totally calm.

The results are very interesting. I eventually find myself back at the top of the same hill - with my friend Andrew.

I'm telling him about the dream, and of course (as I would expect him to be with these things he's not all that interested). I'm saying,

"Yeh, but the really cool thing is I was LUCID!"

It's almost as though I'm expecting him to "wake up" and join me in this state of mind, though I soon come to the conclusion that it's only me who's really "here" right now, and it won't make any difference what I say to him. His stern, somewhat serious face seems to reinforce this.

I have a false awakening. There's a screen and I'm saving my dream into it, as though ready to continue it when I wish.

It was fun. As I woke up, I had the realisation that it was a dream that couldn't be "saved" for real, but then I thought about it again, and there was a message/understanding from the whole experience about "losing control" that could be carried forward. Now I'll always have that image in my mind to go back to.

As you said it yourself, it really looks like my Bad Brakes dream... Awesome experience :D Maybe people like us just need to let go a little.
