lucid

I climbed aboard an old steam train, for a tour. I went ahead of the tour, since I knew my way around already. I made it into a race of some sort, where I went from carriage to carriage looking following where I knew the tour would go, being careful that nobody from the tour could ever be quick enough to see me. I now thought of the train as a retired submarine which had been put inland as a tourist attraction. I hopped off, and started running alongside it (it was very long). Since I wanted to run fast, I went on all fours. Realised it was a dream, but was tricked into thinking that if I went fully lucid I would awake, so I gave up lucidity.

Suddenly I was in the back yard of my parents' house, which was actually the art house from my previous dream. Nikolas was with me, and Gordon the dog was there too, by the back fence. Suddenly, Gordon started to vomit profusely, and I quickly took Nikolas inside away from him. We went in by the laundry door, and up the steps.

Walking to church. We had been to the adventure playground with the boys, and then home to get soothing. Now we are back on our way to church. Cross a road, and descend a frosty slope, pulling boys in a pulk. Notice that I am sliding, become lucid, continue sliding, across level ground and up hill. Woken up by noise.

Very brief dream, still aware of waking self. There was a person who, through sorcery or misfortune, had got the face of a pig. I proceeded with a face transplant for the patient, but awoke before being able to attach the new face. Surgery was going very well, and the removal was smooth and complete.

Showering etc at mum and dads. Take too long, will miss all busses to work. Driving instead. Still too late. Try to turn around. Suddenly being towed (not in a car) by a racehorse. Becomes a race. Spawn a dog to chase the horse to make us faster. Suddenly ahead of the horse, make it a personal race against dog and horse. I win. I think I was second in the actual race, but I didn't stay for the awards. Left with Rohan.

House with bushland out back, possibly holiday house. Eating breakfast with boys when I notice a lot of large emu chicks out the back. Make noise to call them and they all look at me. Note to myself that I must record this in dream journal. Semi-lucid, given my note to self, but in other respects non-lucid.
