I was at an anime convention, checking in to the hotel before my fiancee got there. I was dressed in a hand crocheted Aerith costume, and I walked past my sewing friend who didn't recognize me, then almost instantly ran into one of our mutual friends, coffee friend, who did. We talked for a bit, specifically she complimented my dress before asking where the friend from before went. I asked her not to mention my costume, as me and the first friend were both fans of the outfit and I wanted to surprise her. We parted ways and I took off the costume to reveal a t-shirt and shorts underneath it. I walked outside intent on getting something to eat and ran into a couple of my other friends. I forgot (in the dream) the name of the person I was talking to prior, because I wanted to say that I saw her to my lawyer friend, but woke up before I could remember it.

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

The dream starts with me sneaking around a set of Skyrim-themed stairs, of which I go up and into a building, also vaguely Skyrim themed. I avoid various guards and I go inside a separate room, where an old, dying man rests in his chair. I steal something from the drawers and alert the cards, then escape the room and outside the building where the stairs are. A guard at the staircase attacks me, I run back inside and hide, where I meet two friendly people - a man and a woman. The woman resembled Delphine from Skyrim. They help me fight the guards around the room I stole from, and we kill a guard firing arrows from atop a wall. Soon after, a large group of maybe a dozen or so varying types of people, presumably the main enemy force of this building, march around the corner from behind the wall with the archer, and I run away as the two friendly people stay and fight. There is a brown-skinned girl among the enemy group who I seem to have some kind of romantic connection to.

I make my way far out of the area and into a forest with a path cutting through. There are fields behind fences on each side of the forest, with trees and bushes between the path and fences. I sneak through the bushes as the large group of enemies march through in search of me. Nearby, I see two dog-like creatures, which run past me and join forces with the enemy group. I continue sneaking in the bushes, following the enemies, when suddenly the brown-skinned girl from before jumps through the bushes to scare me. I jump back but immediately find myself extremely happy to see her, she kisses me and leaves.

Not long after, the view changes into what appears to be an RTS game, similar to Age of Empires II. My troops are fighting a much larger army and losing, my forces wipe a group out but are then swarmed by a massive purple blob and I lose. I end the dream trying and failing to upgrade my samurai.

Possible recurring elements:
-Skyrim
-Sneaking
-Local forest

Notes:
-Skyrim has been a foundation for many of my dreams over the past few years. The sneaking aspect is from my very recent thief/sneak playthrough of Skyrim, and has been present in a couple over the last couple of weeks, most notably in my lucid from last night (Dream #5)
-I might play another Skyrim sneak build soon to help form a reality check habit. Should be very easy considering how common and accessible this element is
-The forest is very similar to a forest nearby to my house, but not the same as in Dream #5.
-My recall is improving very rapidly after coming back to my dream journal format, which is apparent in the length of the text I type. I am almost clearing entire pages in my notebook
