Soilent Lucidity
The night before last, my brain tricked me while I was having a lucid dream. For some reason, over the past few days I've been having some really intense dreams. A few have been long, drawn-out affairs that last seemingly half the night. Some have had incredibly complex storylines that make no sense when I try and decipher them upon waking. Others have been short, sometimes grotesque little delusions. The lucid dream however, was a dream that had been going on for hours before it became lucid. Something about high-school. I might've been doing a play. That seems to be a recurring dream I have. Anyway, I was being swept along in the dream when something happened, I don't remember what it was, but when it happened, I remember thinking, "Waitaminute. This doesn't make sense. I must be dreaming." And I was. Upon realizing this, I do what I normally do when I become "aware" that I'm dreaming - I try to fly (well, I do other things too, but let's keep it clean for now). Doesn't always work as sometimes I just can't get off the ground, and sometimes I fly around for a while and then I wake up or transition to another dream, but this time, after a short round of flying, which was very cool by the way, I thought to myself, "I should try and contact a friend while I'm in this dream state." Just as I thought this, my friend Gil Lahav appeared below me, so I flew down to him and said, "Dude! You're in my dream! Try and remember this, so when we talk after waking up, we'll know it was real!!!" I told him something random then, to remember so he could tell me later when I saw him in the waking world.And then I woke up.
I was totally excited, lying there in bed, until I realized I haven't talked to Gil in 15 years or so and don't have his number or any way to get a hold of him. Plus, how weird would it be for me to track down his number, give him a call and be like, "So, Gil. How've you been? What have you been up to? What's the secret I told you in my dream?" My brain totally tricked me. That's what you have to watch out for when lucid dreaming : your brain's always trying to trick you back into regular dreaming. Anyway, Gil, if by some chance you read this, give me a call or email and tell me the secret I told you in my dream.
Oh, and if I appear in your dreams : make sure you pay close attention to what I'm saying. You never know.

After reading the first sentence, I was sure that you were going to say that you wet the bed due to finding a bathroom in your dream. This was much cooler. I wouldn't be surprised if your friend randomly calls you in the next few days.
I was certain that you were going to say that you wet the bed. Something about dreaming you had to go to the bathroom and then...
I like dreams like that, though. I wouldn't be surprised if Gil shows up somehow in the next few days. BTW- you're approving comments now?
Heh, you're one sick puppy, the Heat. No, no wetting the bed. Sorry about the comment thing - I wasn't sure what would happen if I turned on "comment moderation" so I tried it. Lame. It's off now.
A bettr end t th story wouda been if ya woked up an realizd that ya dont really have a frend namd Gil.
