Lucid Time!

I was riding on a school bus with H and maybe C. H had an Ipad or some kind of tablet device and we were watching videos. While the bus was filled with this golden light.
We eventually arrived at the east entrance to my school, by the bus loop, sort of in the back of the school. There was a banner set up and a bunch of people partying, as though we had been gone a long time. There were maybe about a hundred people there.
I got out of the bus, and began enjoying the party. I noticed a lot of people had balloons. Then, out of nowhere, everyone's balloons started popping and people began running and screaming. I noticed there were darts flying through the air from somewhere behind me and breaking up the party.
I looked over my shoulder, and maybe fifty feet behind me was a guy on a machine gun turret, built up on some boxes. But instead of bullets, the gun was firing darts into the crowd. I tried to run toward the guy, but party-goers kept running into me and tripping me up. I tripped over a small child and fell onto the ground. I felt two or three darts hit me in the leg. (ouch.)
I crawled the rest of the way to this guy, then lunged up and tackled him. I must have knocked him out or killed him.
And, because of dream logic, afterwards, everyone just went back to enjoying the party. I overheard some dream character saying that people had brought shotguns to the party.
Someone came up behind me and blasted me with a shotgun. But it was at this point that I learned that this was a weird new kind of pyrotechnic toy that used gunpowder but fired no actual bullets, so when you got shot with it, it would just blast you with air. I don't know exactly how it worked. But it still made a loud noise that scared me.
A mother was watching a pair of very small kids, both of them were carrying these shotguns. They both ran over and blasted me. Agian, it didn't hurt, but the loud noise scared me.
I decided I wanted my own harmless shotgun, so that I could blast some other people. I found a box that was apparently a kit to make one. In fact the box contained dozens of kits inside cardboard tubes. I didn't want to be greedy so I took one cardboard tube and stepped out of the party crowd for a minute while I assembled mine.
It turned out to be very complex. When I opened the tube, there were hundreds of parts including mostly small screws and wires. There was a large flexible computer board with lights on it. The instructions stated that the first part of building your harmless shotgun was to select the color of three different lights on the circuit board. You could pick from five colors. Red,Green,Yellow,Blue, and Brown. I asked a man (Marcus) for help.
He looked at the circuit board and the dream changed from the party outside my school to this very high tech looking reactor room.
The room had a huge glass vial of liquid in the center, surrounded by dark metal supports. On the top and bottom of the room there were jet turbine fans spinning very slowly. The liquid was changing between Red,Green,Yellow,Blue, and Brown. There were four panels on the wall, like vertical plasma screens. Red,Green,Yellow,Blue, and Brown. But they weren't in sync. The vial and the four screens always changed so that every color was always displayed. We were on a catwalk above the lower turbine fan as to not fall in.
(I have to say, it was a cool sci-fi type room.)
Marcus opened a door between two of the plasma screens into another square room. This room also looked very cool and high-tech. We both walked into there. There were dispensers on the wall that dispensed liquids in each of the five colors I mentioned.
Marucs explained that each of the colors represents a different element. Red=Fire, Blue=Water, Green=Earth, Yellow=Air, Brown=Metal. There was a large L-Shaped tank of blue liquid in one corner of the room. He used the dispenser to fill a cup with red liquid and poured it into the tank. For a moment, the liquid in the L shaped tank went red, then changed back to blue.
While he walked over to the dispenser to get some brown liquid, he explained that mixing two of the elements creates an inert and largely useless mixture. But it's when you mix three that things start to get interesting.
He poured some brown liquid into the tank, and glass dividers came up dividing the tank into three sections, kindof like this. (Dividers in blue.)

Each portion of the tank drained of liquid, to reveal they had become something different. One became a sort of desert area with these light green spiky plants. Another became a crystal garden with green crystals growing out of dark grey. I forget the contents of the third tank. It may have been a clear quartz crystal garden.
The tank lifted up and separated each of the divided parts into a display case parts. Marcus was trying to convince me of how amazing it was when you mixed three of these elements, the possibility were almost limitless. I found it hard to be interested because the crystal garden looked dirty and fake.
I actually became mildly lucid at this point, but I'm just going to say I was non-lucid. I was looking at the crystals and thinking about how these crystals looked so ugly... This seems like something I would dream about...
Nope, I'm awake.
