Lucid Time!

I was up until 1:30 and went to bed with no intention of lucid dreaming.

Some old 8-bit game involving a rocket scientist who goes back in time to claim a rocket engine that he invented from another scientist who stole his idea. He travels back to 1929 or 1934 (Can't recall but those years were important to the story somehow.) In the end, he travels back to the present.
There was something to do with this huge fuel silo.
He then designs this weird asymmetric spaceship that falls apart before it even launches. He starts re-designing it.

The end.

I am flying a small spacecraft down to the surface of Mars, near the polar ice caps. I notice that in some places trees seem to be poking out of the polar ice. I land in a clearing as to not damage the trees or my spacecraft.
I get out, along with a couple researchers. We are all wearing space suits. They are really excited having discovered (dead) alien life on another planet. Some of the one of the researchers begins taking samples from the tree trunks. Another begins photographing and surveying measurements of the trees. Another begins exploring a cave beneath an ice shelf. I follow him.
We get underground and turn on the lights on our helmets. We see that the cave is supported by the trunks of the dead trees. We continue deeper to find that there is in fact a winding passage that runs very deep under the ice cap.
After having journeyed about a quarter mile. The researcher begins urging me to turn back, telling me that we can undergo a more thorough exploration of these caves at a later date, but we should turn back now.
Then, I noticed that liquid water was dripping onto us. I decided to do something stupid. I started to take off my space helmet.
"NO! Don't do that!"
I do it anyway. It comes off. I take a deep breath of cold, wet air.
The researcher is freaking out, and trying to radio his friends that I have just broken regulation and taken my helmet off. But we're too deep in the cave for his radio to connect. I feel like I can hear some kind of rumbling noise.
I 'sssh' him wanting to hear the noise.
"Do you hear that?"
"What is it?"
I wake up.

Didn't I dream about a mission to mars two days ago? CONGRUENCY!


I was visiting this pizza place. It feels like I am very far away from my home, Like I might be in another state or something. The pizza place is near this freeway overpass. I go in and ask for a small peperoni pizza. The manager comes to the counter and asks if rather than pay, I would be willing to preform a small task because he is understaffed.
He walks me outside and says that what makes this pizza joint special is how fast their deliveries are. They actually specially deliver pizzas using these tiny rockets, about the size of a small garbage can. He wants me to put the pizzas in these rockets and fly them to the correct destinations. He gives me a pizza to practice with, then goes inside.
I put the pizza in the hatch on top of the rocket, and launch it. It takes me a few minutes to figure out how to do so. I have no idea how to control it so the rocket just flies straight up. When it starts to come down, the hatch opens and the pizza comes out and falls onto the manager's head, who had come back out to check on my progress. The rocket falls back onto the launch pad and breaks.

Fragment: I am eating Pizza. Not trying to feed some zombie mutant form or anything. Just eating pizza. And I am actually eating a sane amount rather than last time.

I am watching a science fiction movie about the first manned mission to mars. It is a partnership between Nasa, China and the European space agency.
The first thing that I can recall seeing is the ship. It is huge by 'realistic' standards, perhaps 40m wide by 20m high by 100m long. The European space agencies worked to build the crew housing as well as find the crew members. China was responsible for the 'light speed engines'. I don't think they could go light speed necessarily, but they were engines that made the ship go very fast. Then attached to the outside were the engines that Nasa built designed for landing the ship on Mars. They were not as fast but they worked better when near planets, because supposedly the Chinese engines were affected by planet's gravity and could explode.
The ship is docked to the ISS, and there are two space shuttles there as well. The movie goes into some characters that are getting ready to board the ship, such as the captain. I think in total, about 10 people will be going to Mars.
We then see another character. A woman who was chosen to go, but declined as she had the feeling that something would go wrong. She was at home (somewhere in rural England) where there was a strong thunderstorm rolling through. She is with her daughter, who looks a lot like her, though is about two. She is talking on the phone with the people at the space agency saying that there is one last shuttle going up tomorrow and that if she wants to go, she still can. The woman says 'No' that she would rather take care of her daughter than be a part of history.
Cut back to outer space. Mars is coming in range to go to. But now here is the funny part. Mars comes REALLY close to earth. I mean like the planet was probably only a few thousand miles over the surface at its lowest point. I then carries on past earth. Supposedly the mission was supposed to 'chase' Mars after it passed earth. So the astronauts wait a few days.
So the big day comes. Time to fire the engines and chase down Mars. Right before the engines fire, we see that the crew checks in with the space agency. We see that something small on the ship has just detached from near the engines. There is a shot of the captain turning on the engines.
The Chinese engine fires, but only the one on the left. The one on the right seems to be malfunctioning, and spitting out fuel. The ship begins to spin violently. They try to turn on the Nasa engine to bring it into balance, but the Chinese engine is much more powerful. The ship begins to spiral down to earth, then the Chinese engine goes offline because it is too close to the earth's gravity. Using the Nasa engines, they are able to stabilize the ship before it falls into the atmosphere. The space agencies goes into emergency mode to fly up and fix the engine before Mars is out of range.

IWL, I'm going to college in the fall.

So I am going to my first day at college. The campus feels much more built up than it is IWL. I meet my roommate who has long curly hair and seems like a nice guy.

I forget a great deal of what happened, but I recall this part where everyone is drawing with sidewalk chalk. There are some very talented artists present. I try to draw a character but for some reason he continually becomes very small. I scratch him out and try to draw the character huge, like 10 feet high, but I look away then look back and my drawing is tiny again.

Fragment: I am at some swimming pool. There is a large bay out in front of me with a gorgeous skyline across the way. I jump off the side of the pool, do a flip, then jump off of the opposing side into the water.

Fragment: I am partially lucid attempting the advanced TOTM, to go to another planet. I go outside into a meadow surrounded by trees. I attempt to manifest a spaceship but only manage create a small rocket motor about the size of my hand. I start the engine and it flies out of my hand, circles around in the sky above me about one and a half times, then explodes.

Somebody is pitching an idea for a children's show to me. The show I think was called "Freedom Riders" and it's set in an alternate World War 2 universe. The show follows four young women who wear these skin-tight red and yellow suits and ride around on motorcycles through this industrial wasteland fighting the show's analog for Nazi Germany. The show makes use of some really cool animation techniques, such as sometimes going for a graphic/poster look in critical scenes. The animation looks like the paper cutouts done in South Park, but the characters look almost anime-esque. The show actually has interesting plots and complex themes, though I question if it is really appropriate for a "Kids Show", as some of the characters swear and there is a lot of blood shown. Whoever is pitching the show to me gets very upset. I tell them that they should simply change their target audience and run the show that way.

I join some astronauts on a moon mission, but end up getting left behind on the moon. But the other astronauts leave me behind. There is some AI that states that I may be able to use the moons' missile system to fly back home by targeting a missile at earth then riding it back. At first I'm like "what missile system" All I see are a couple of supply crates and burnt-out landers, but I spot the missile system amongst them.
Normally, I would like to get to earth more or less, I don't know, ALIVE. But my dreams are not set in any kind of logical universe so I grab onto one of the missiles and the AI fires it.
I Become lucid as we begin flying and lose the dream.

Something to do with this "demon" entering the house. It is a floating talking head with red skin and white eyes. It commands me to make a fire in the houses' fireplace, and run the bath water upstairs. It says I should continuously run between the fire and the water and check on both.
As the monotony of tending to the fire and running the bath water sinks in, I become partially lucid, but wake up before becoming fully lucid.
