The fair and Dr. A (lucid)

Date: 10/4/2018

Short lucid dream induced using WILD technique very successfully prior to napping in the afternoon. This is an improvement over previous lucid dreams, the images are very stable and I actually manipulate the content of the dream, while in the dream, at least to a degree. The plot is relatively simple. Found myself at some sort of fair when I realized I am awake in a dream. I was at a kiosk playing a game where I could get as a price one of several stuffed animals (there were three rows of “Pluto” like doggies but only one of them had a tail). I decided that since this was a dream and I could get what I want, I wanted to win the doggie with the tail. The wheel was spun and I won the toy I wanted. At that point I was very lucid in the dream. So I started thinking, what did I always want that I could not get? Maybe I should take advantage of this dream to get it. And I immediately found myself at a particular hospital in NJ where I worked when I was young.— This was real teleportation, as soon as I thought of what I wanted, I found myself at the place where I could get it. There was a doctor there that I felt very attracted to but he was married. I did not have any sort of romantic relationship with him but did go out with his best friend just to be close to him. So I was at the hospital where I could get the man I liked and “never got” (I have not thought about this person or seen him in many years but evidently he remained in my psyche as unfinished business). In the dream I find myself at the main entrance to the hospital...it is winter and there is snow and the sky is gray. I am my young self and wearing a jogging outfit. I ask at reception for him and they tell me he is making rounds but they don’t know in what floor. I know he takes the stairs so I take the stairs and, sure enough, there I find him looking like he did then with his head of curly brown hair, tall and well built. He looks at me and opens his eyes wide and asks me, laughing, what are you doing here and I laugh out loud and tell him that I am there for him and push him against the wall of the stair well and have to get on the tips of my toes to kiss him quite passionately (the passion is reciprocated). It is very unfortunate that I woke up at that point.
