Lucidity (n.) lu·cid·i·ty
1. the quality of being easily understood, completely intelligible, or comprehensible
2. the ability to see things clearly
Rainbow Dash has always wondered what it would be like to perform magic, but seeing as she's not a unicorn, it's always been a dream that was just out of her reach. Fortunately for Rainbow Dash, Twilight may have the perfect solution: lucid dreaming.
Of course, neither Twilight nor Rainbow expected what would happen once they started experimenting with dreams. It turns out, if you're not careful, the line between dreams and reality may blur beyond recognition.
Chapters (5)
Oh boy...
Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle try lucid dreaming?
This will be trippy...
You have my interest.
~Skeeter The Lurker
Hmm... I quite like where this is going.
Something tells me Luna will not be pleased at Twilight's attempt to mooch in on her gig as a dream watcher.
Welcome to limbo
I like where this could lead... Please do continue

Enjoying that morphine eh, Nietz?
You can never read too much Freud. TwiDash is so passe, but I had to see if I could do it. This is my first attempt at "real" shipping.
Make a spell where Dash can see Twilight dreams and Twilight can see Dash's dream and this story would be epic!

Oh, I've got something much better than that planned, don't you worry.
And yes, it will involve Twilight seeing Rainbow's dreams, but perhaps not in the way you'd expect.
BWOOOOOMMMMMM

They should ask Luna for help.

Interestin' fic. I'll be watching.
Read this last night, I'm finding myself looking back to FiMFiction regularly for a new chapter, lol. Eagerly await the next installment.
Heh, I was so hoping for an obligatory Inception joke in the first few comments. Wasn't disappointed.
And Rainbow letting Twilight watch her sleep is in no way creepy...
Nah, I kid.
~Skeeter The Lurker
I see what's going on here. I like it.
Twi's gonna find something pretty interesting in Rainbow's dream diary I think.
Dis Gon Be Gud.
*is
That could end badly for Rainbow.
It's an interesting start ... Of course, if you're sure you're awake and yet things are changing when you look away from them, it just means Discord is nearby.
*five Stage give would be when she stops in at Rarity's place afterwards.
How many chapters before we get to actually see one of Rainbow's dreams?
3295592
Thanks for pointing out those errors, they have since been corrected.
You'll see some of Rainbow's dreams in the next chapter, though not from her perspective.
3296038 This leaves me wondering if they'll make more, or less, sense, given how the dreams I do remember tend to go ...
I can see where this is going.
so what you're saying is that Dash is lying her ass off about the content of her dreams.
Now i want to lucid dream too! It sounds so awesome!
What are you up to, Twilight?
And Rainbow is trying to hide things...
Also... I've been meaning to read that manga, but can't find them anywhere...
~Skeeter The Lurker
Time for a little inception.
Don't go around saying things like "What is love" all willy-nilly Twilight, you might cause unwanted headbanging sequences.
I completely lost it.
I cant wait to see where this story is going
3316474 Lol me too
3316474
Heh, glad to know the humor wasn't lost on everyone. That joke was very intentional.
Twilight's dream is kind of cute. I like how the feelings develop as a result of her hoping that Rainbow Dash is dreaming about her. Adorkable Twilight overthinking her way into having a crush.
Well, this will probably end in tears.
>shipping
>13k
>no warm 'n' fuzzies yet
Do you understand how this genre works?

3321222 He is setting it up well, IMO. He isn't just rushing into "and then they banged." It's about the journey leading up to the relationship just as much as the relationship itself.
TL;DR chill out and be patient brofasa.

Good on you for leaving a thoughtful reply to my troll comment. As a rule, though, I leave nothing but troll comments on alexmagnet's stories. That's just the way it is.
However, I can tell you for a fact that this story is gonna be like ninety percent dream interpretation with like ten percent shipping tacked on for the sake of completeness. Have you read this man's blogs?
Refer to the bottom-left panel for Twilight's face.
Sorry, no Photobucket account.
i need MORE I REQUIRE MORE AND I REQUIRE IT NOW
Oh poor Twi... Of all the possible misunderstandings, this one with all its misunderstandingness (that's a word), is the worst possible thing!
It's almost as though that entire situation was engineered to go spectacularly wrong. Hopefully Rainbow will stop being so... Human, and listen to reason. Or at least try. But that's unlikely.
If i could favorite this again. I would lol.
3417169
Yes... almost.
I wonder how Twi's gonna clean up all this fallout. Whatever she's gonna do I hope Rainbow takes the time to listen.
3417484 *scratches chin* Hmm, yes...almost...*information clicks in head* Oh I'm so thick! Thick thick thick! Me and my thick, stupid head! It's so obvious! *starts running around the console doing "normal" lever flipping and button pushing, plunger pulling. The usual* No time to explain!
The last part of this doesn't really parse.
Way to go, Rainbow. As usual, you're being a hotheaded idiot and jumping to the wrong conclusion without listening. Twilight needs to go get Pinkie Pie first, just to hold Rainbow down long enough to explain!
So... after Twilight 'wakes up' it's still a dream, right? Anxiety about how Rainbow Dash would feel if she knew Twilight as spying on her? Why else would the horn and wings still be switched and neither of them care?
3417728
Herpity derp... fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.
Whoops.
So this was interesting. I didn't expect them to physically switch parts of their bodies, but it's rather interesting nonetheless.
