4/15/10 - The Fire Lizard
Dream Non-Dream Lucid

I am having a false awakening. My bedroom is very realistic, and my cat, Patches, is next to me - exactly where he was sleeping IRL. I hear an odd scratching noise and believe that it is a cockroach. The noise is coming from my bedside table, where I had left a Chex Mix Bar wrapper. I finish eating said Chex Mix Bar and prepare to squash the roach, hoping that Patches will be heroic and help me out.
I squint into the darkness to see if I can spot the roach. I see the silhouette of something, but it's no roach. Sitting on my bedside table, wrapped around my lamp is the biggest lizard I've ever seen! It growls at me and leaps off the nightstand, onto the ground. I jump out of bed and follow it into the hallway, where it runs downstairs hissing and spitting. There aren't any lights on so I can barely see anything. I go to the bathroom and try the light switch. They won't turn on. That's when I realize that this is a fire lizard, and it's using anything electronic or that runs on electricity to gain energy for itself.
Immediately I run into my room. Patches is right where I left him. Lazy cat. He meows rather hoarsely but I ignore him. I have more important things to attend to. After checking the lights in my room to see if they work -which they don't - I hurriedly unplug my iHome charger and grab my iPod Touch, climbing on top of my bed with it. Good thing too, for mere seconds later the lizard is back. It growls from somewhere in my room, and I see a glint of light on the floor by my bed. I reach down and scoop it up. The lizard squirms in my hands, its little claws scratching at me. It also starts to breathe fire into the air so I quickly rip it in half to keep it from burning my face off. Ew.
I throw the carcass on the ground, disgusted. Patches still just sits there, and I glare at him a bit before going back to sleep.

The next morning, my family discovers that half the lights in our house aren't working. I try to explain what happened to my mom, and tell her about the dead lizard on the floor in my room, but my voice is so hoarse that I can't speak. Patches is hoarse as well. I remember that I am the only one who can see mythical creatures anyway, and that the dead lizard has probably already disappeared. Soon after I wake up.

I also remember another dream - something about a road trip - and the pink-and-blonde-haired girl from the movie Push was in it. Huh.
