[lucid assignment: let the dream direct itself, and just go along with the plot as an extra would ... but don't let on that your goal is to passively observe the dream and "absorb" any energy in the dream that seems appropriate. If necessary, fool other dream characters into thinking you're not lucid by acting the way they expect you to act]
I got to a therapist with my (deceased) mother. Suddenly, I realize it's a dream -- but only partly so, for one thing I still would like to do in a lucid dream is talk to my mother's spirit in a dream, on the chance that it's really her visiting me ... and say at least a better goodbye. But I'm only lucid enough to realize that I can fly. I go to leave the therapist's office, telling him and my mother that I think I can fly directly home, believing myself to be in my brother's town, A_____. I zoom out the door and up into the sky.
But in a split second I land in a terrain of yellow, dusty rocks. I realize that dream flight is not that controllable -- there must have been the thought of the American Southwest in the back of my mind, and so that's where I went.
I concentrating on thinking about the beach in my hometown and take off again. Instantly I land in shallow water. I put my hands in it and reach down towards the gravel that we have instead of sand (dream memory, IRL we do have sand).
I wake up.
