The Kawasaki, 1st induced lucid dream!

Yes, It's the first lucid dream induced on purpose in my life!

Last night I decided to have a WILD, so set up my phone to wake me up six hours after going to sleep with a quiet repeating beep, and left it to the other side of my room so I would have to get up.

Six hours later, I woke up from the beeping, did a reality test, (nose test, positive, for being in this world as we know it) and shut the alarm down. I went back to bed and started relaxing my body lying on my back. I had the feeling of a beginning hypnogogic state many times. I felt tingling everywhere and could feel my focus and field of view changing dramatically "behind" my eyes. But it got always interrupted somehow and returned to normal. I guess I was too exited, or had woken in the wrong part of the sleep cycle (I felt pretty wakeful for that time of the night). Anyway, as I almost never sleep on my back, I turned on my side and started using MILD and VILD. I did an interesting test by the way: I held a pencil between my thumb and index finger and kept my hand outside the bed. A little while later I suddenly woke up from the pencil hitting the floor. Sleep is very sneaky, I had no idea I was falling asleep, though after waking I knew from my state of awareness that I was sliding to sleep. So if you don't control your consciousness, you will fall asleep without ever knowing about it. Soon after that I woke up again, looked at the table next to my bed and it has a different layout and an analogue clock! (my clock is digital) A false awakening! I do a reality test regardless I know it is unnecessary. The test comes out negative! (nose test) I'm in a lucid dream! I open my window and fly out "bird-style" using my arms to navigate rising wind currents. However, I can't get altitude and keep floating down, so I decide to land on our yard. There are "some" other things I can do than flying, maybe next time! On the ground I briefly try "neo-style" flying, but it works as well as jumping on the ground with your hands on the side ^-^ What should I do now? I turn around and say: "Give me a Kawasaki "something", because I can't recall model names right now, and definitely wouldn't recall their design from memory. I turn around and YES, there's a generic thousand-cc bright green (what a wierd color) racing motorcycle! I get on an start riding around our neighbourhood. I decide to try what this pair of wheels is capable of (don't have to worry about cops and/or killing others/yourself). But there's some problem with the gearbox; after the couple first gears, the speed doesn't increase with gear switches. (In the dream I thought I had switched the gears too early, and the engine didn't have enough torque to increase speed. Now that I am awake and have my beloved unhindered brainpower to use, I realize this conclusion was false because: A) The engine didn't sound like it had trouble and B) the RPM meter was almost on the max. The meter was kind of inversed BTW, it had the red area from the beginning to 3/4 and the rest was normal. Maybe that had something to do with it. Here dream stupidity prohibited me once again from acting reasonably, I could've just shouted: "Work you piece of $*1t!" and it would've probably started working. Or maybe just create a scooter, but that would've been lame ;) Oh well, you can't have everything, even in lucid dreams.)

I can't remember the transition anymore, but somehow I ended here:

I'm racing on the bike with many other riders on a strange indoor track in a warehouse building. The surface is some kind of felt instead of asphalt, but it has a surprisingly good grip. I ride well (=the others suck) and stay in the top three for the whole race.

I don't remember if I won or not, and the dream ended extremely abruptly. My vision went dark and before I could react I felt my body in my bed. It really took 2 seconds max. Got to be more prepared for that the next time, and remember to do the autosuggestion-commands in the beginning and all the way along ("MAXIMUM LUCIDITY, MAXIMUM LENGTH"). Anyway I think this is a great first lucid dream induced on purpose. I hear some people just have time to realize they are dreaming and they instantly wake up. Lucky me.

EDIT: Well, well, looks that my subconscious knows more than me! (in fact it always does, it's called intuition) The "Kawasaki color" IS green. All the kawasaki MotoGP etc. -bikes are green. They even have a junior program called "team green".
