Lucidity

I had another lucid dream experience (I realized I was in a dream, assumed control, and started manipulating the dreamworld) waking up this morning.

I became lucid in an alley (can't particularly recall how it got to that point), but my first action was to try and pick up a large delivery truck, about the size of a U-Haul. I grabbed it by the front end and lifted like I would lift a basket of clothes; nothing happened. Realizing just doing it wasn't going to get it done, I basically told myself that I was going to lift the truck, and that the truck would lift itself off the ground. After a couple of seconds of focus, I tugged on the truck once more, only to find that this time, it lifted off the ground as easily as a balloon. Wow!

I held it up in a 45 degree angle to the ground for a few seconds, feeling no strain, while observing the seeming effortless feat I had just performed. Not knowing full well what I was doing, I dropped the truck as carelessly as you would let go of a balloon and watch it drift to the ground for a few seconds. Bad idea. The truck slammed to the ground, bounced up once, and slowly rolled onto its side. It was a huge impact! It felt like a fucking truck dropped out of the sky, right next to me.

Two things: 1. I've never had a truck make a tremendous gravity-driven impact right next to me. How would my mind simulate such a thing, the thing being such a terrifyingly accurate (from what I can imagine) simulation of a horrible impact, a real-time mangling of the truck due to the collision, and all the accompanying reactions from around me (car alarms started going off and people came from nearby to have a look)? 2. What kinds of amazing things could I conjure up in a state of lucidity? What if I decided to become Adam: Destroyer of Worlds, and lay waste to everything around me with hand-projected concussion batteries, fire, and the ability to lift and discard anything in my sight?

That would be a cool dream. I hope to do that next time.
