Floatinghead's dream adventures

Hello from the UK

I had a nice lucid dream last night (is it ok to post lucid dreams here?) - an attempted shared dream with my daughter:

I get out of my bed, from a WILD, and go to find her - but her 3 year old self runs through the door and I pick her up in my arms and tell her 'no, this is the wrong you' and smile, and walk toward her old room when my 8 year old daughter (current age) walks in and sees herself. I tell her we should get off to the tree.

We walk out of the front door, she seems to be cold (because in real life she is suffering from a cold) and is a little scared because it is dark out. I point toward the sun and show her that it is coming up.
As we walk out of the house toward the field the scenery has changed, there is a farmer's house where it shouldn't be blocking the way. 'ah, what can you do? dreams are unpredictable things' I tell her.
' we need to fly over' I say
'but I don't know how to fly' she replies (of course, she usually flies on her dragon!) I take her hand, get a run up and we both fly over. As we land the scenery is still different/wrong so I decide that we need to create a portal. 'let's sing your song' I say. So we both start singing the main song from (Danny Elfman's) Alice in wonderland and the portal starts to open. My daughter jumps through first (although the portal does not LOOK fully formed) and I jump in straight after her.

Ahhh, this is better, the sun is shining, the sky is blue and we are surrounded by beautiful clear water. We need to search for that tree though - where can it be? I scan the area... that tree looks wrong - 'perhaps THAT tree' I point toward the tree, but it is mutilated, it's branches are cut - not the one we visit in real life. But my daughter is pretty confident it is and walks over to it and calls out for the bird. (the bird we buried beneath the tree in real life) straight away the bird comes up from near the tree, beneath the blue water. It is happy to see her and flies straight to her. She in turn is very happy to see the bird - it has been one of her dream goals. At this point I also notice another bird on her shoulder - a seagull perhaps? It must have come with her from before.

We talk, I then tell her that she needs to do something, trying to prompt her - and out of nowhere a friendly farmer pops out and smiles at her and says 'remember remember' And she laughs and says 'yes I know, 'remember, remember' 'we need to keep on reminding ourselves what has just happened or we will forget as we go along' I say. I look at my daughter at this point and her eyes are small, she looks dazed or ill. 'who is he?' she says referring to the farmer. ' I don't know, I think either you or I have made him subconsciously perhaps?' The farmer then gives us some jelly beans, and my wife appears who is also eating jelly beans, in fact I continue the rest of the dream eating them!! I can taste all of the flavors - they are delicious.

Our previous plans of going into a jungle to find treasure is foiled because yet again the path ahead is blocked by a building. We all walk into the building which seems to be somekind of playhouse. There are 3 or 4 (human sized) clear tubes that start from the floor and reach up to the ceiling; it seems to be our only way forward. My daughter then walks up to the tube and climbs in, it is full of jelly beans, the higher she climbs the more blocked it becomes until she has to come back and we decide to retreat from where we came from.

But at this point I feel dream slipping away, I cannot hold on and wake.

What's with all the jelly beans?

side note: My daughter dreamed that we met at the tree (she had no trouble finding it) she arrived as the HULK. She called for the bird who came up from some kind of sinking sand, it came to her straight away, she remembers a conversation we had about dreaming, and that we would meet up again soon, but she had to go at this point because she felt too ill to continue and left.

side side note: she also recalls a dream she had a month ago about seeing her 3 year old self in the bedroom.
