Non-Dream Dream Lucid

1. The Fragment
I was standing on the stairs of my friend's house. The walls are blue and the stairs were grey carpet? In reality I have never been to this friend's house, but he and his girlfriend are there with me so I assume it is his. His girlfriend is just saying goodbye and leaving; she is a little embarrassed about being intimate with my friend because I am there, so she offers him a handshake. I turn away as he kisses her and says goodbye. She walks away.

2. The Dream
Ever played the game Wii Play? There is a minigame on that called Tanks, where you control a tank, and shoot at others while avoiding being hit yourself. The game is essentially in 2D, as you have an aerial view of the battlefield each time. My dream was like this game but it was more real. There was the same 2D aerial view, but I was looking down upon myself, the main character. I was also not a tank, but a human carrying an RPG and a machine gun; I think elements of a flash game called Gunmaster Onslaught worked their way in as well.
Anyway, the game started and waves of enemies started appearing; I hopped in and out of a little safe zone to shoot them. The whole dream was like a computer game - there were even red letters in the top left telling me how many lives I had left and what level I was on. The map was the side of a house, with a roof at the top and a street at the bottom. It was in 2D, though, as I mentioned earlier. Enemies that I remember consisted of snipers on the roof, then tanks and footmen coming out of the windows and walking toward my character. It didn't hurt when my character got hit, just the same as a real flash game. I got to level 13 before there were too many of them and I jumped out of cover completely. I started spraying bullets around me but started taking a lot more fire - eventually I lost all my lives.

At that point the scene transforms. I (the real 3D me) am standing in a fairly empty room that upon awakening I recognise as the basement of the church I used to go to. There are two colections of electronics, one ahead of me and one to the right. There are some people that I know standing by the one ahead of me, a PlayStation 2. It is making a noise that is slowly fading. I walk to the right and there is an amplifier, also with a fading noise. I recognise the noise as the fans of whatever was running the Tank Game I just played. I want my amplifier to be the last noise to die completely, so I rather rudely walk over to the PS2 and rip out the power cable, cutting its noise dead. My amplifier finished making its noise and I wake up.
