Entertaining lucid dream I had recently

[Stillwater]

This is fairly uncommon for me, in that I don't often have lucid dreams, because I do not pursue them.

Last night, maybe around 4 am, I had the classic "signed up for a class, but forgot to attend it all semester" dream that a lot of people seem to have. Suffice to say, this one was set in highschool, with some faces that were familiar, and others that were not.

I woke up from this dream around 5 am or so, and fell back asleep, this time to have a similar dream. In it, I was walking to a highschool classroom in order to take a generic standardized test. I sat down in the appointed room, and the scheduled proctor, an older lady, was taking roll. When she got to my name, she said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I see that you have been rescheduled to take the test with Mr. Hellion." At this moment, I pounded my fist on the table, and demanded, "Who the hell is Mr. Hellion, and how do I even find him?" The lady seemed startled, so I added, "Don't worry, I am not upset with you, my dispute is with the institution (lol)."

As I was walking out of the classroom to go find this other room, I realized... hey wait... this is the second time tonight I have been back in highschool... haha; I had the typical dream-awareness moment then, and realized that I was in total control of the situation. I passed some people in the hall who told me to take a left for Mr. Hellion's room (without even being asked). Instead, I decided I would walk to the doors on the right, and fly out into the air. When I fly in dreams, as opposed to projections, it is generally a sort of "moonjump" affair, where I fly pretty high, and glide back down, in a sort of bounding fashion. This is more-or-less what happened then. A few people called out to me to come back, and I said, "Nope." Toto's "Africa" began to play ambiently, and I flew off into the distance, following a highway. My clothing flew off, and I just continued, lol. I feel this exhilerating flight probably lasted about 20 minutes, as eventually the sky grew dark at an unnatural rate, and I faded out again.

This one was nothing super-fancy, but it sure beat a dream about taking a standardized test, lol.

Wow interesting, I didn't know others had the sort of bounding issue in dreams.

Pretty entertaining dream

Normally when I fly I start out flying normally but it gets gradual to big moon walk bounds like you mentioned. Other times it starts in bounds and goes to full on flight, then quickly goes back to bounds xD

Sounds awesome Stillwater. I tend to do that in my dreams, where people will be telling me what to do and at first I get kind of mad, and then I realize I can do whatever I want. It's normally the second I become lucid I demand control. Hey, it's my dream.
