It was a work related dream, but not about my waking life job. I remembered much more right upon waking up, but did not write it down. Yikes!
So we got a new home in this dream and it ce with a small house in the yard which I set up as a pet house for the kids. I flooded a room with water somehow and put fish in it. When I came back I could not approach the small house from one side because the was a giant pit filled with water in the middle of the path. So I went around the small house to the door on the other side. First thing I noticed was a fish gasping for air in a room without an water. I realized that the kids must have opened the door to the aquarium room and the water must have all gotten out carrying the fish with it all over the place. There was another room that had a hamster that belonged to the boys' cousin B, and strangely the hamster was fine and not killed by the flood. I did not question why the hamster lived here even though the cousin in waking life lives out of state. I tried to figure out how to redo the water for fish so it would stay in one room, so the fish would be safe (and kids and hamster). Strangely the solution of using an actual aquari did not occur to me. I started thinking about the option of an indoor pond.
Alas that is all I remember, just a vague memory that a dream happened. Got to start focusing on dreams again.
I was male and had the superpower being able to fly. I was being persued by sepne with same superpower who wanted to kill me and had just killed a bunch of people. I had a female with me who had no superpower and thus needed to be carried, was not with me voluntarily, but I had to take her away because the guy who was after us would kill her otherwise. Fragment about home made pizza making.
Gave a friend a present, a terrarium. But the water bowl broke. I remembered that it had already been broken and then I got a replacement, and now that broke. I wondered what size it should be. In my dream the one I had was large enough for a real duck to swim in, which they sometimes did.
Something about caffeinated and non-caffeinated beverages. I met the ruler of Madagascar who in my dream was a young white man. He demanded that I pay him because he always gets paid, and he rules Madagascar in such a way that the atrocities that used to be done to the people there stay a secret.
I just remember one disturbing scene: I was in the backseat of a car behind driver's seat and there was no driver. I had my foot stretched under the driver's seat somehow and was keeping my foot on the break pedal, lest I run into something if I let go. I was in a parking garage. I was trying to persuade the parking attendant to briefly get in the driver's seat and put the car into park, so that I could let go of the break pedal, but that then I would be fine and could take over driving. He seemed reluctant.
Something about programming a dishwasher to verify that no dirty dishes were missing.
Football league was in financial trouble and I told my husband to not spend a fortune trying to bail them out, that he had already spent enough on football. Then I realized that I had just spent $20 on two pounds of coffee, and that I needed to watch my own spending. EDIT: I am excited! I figured out what this dream was about. My husband is really into football spectator sport, that's his hobby. Right now what I am really excited hobby wise is bread baking. I have bought a few things for it already and was concerned about my spending on hobbies. I was thinking to buy a Britta filter pitcher to have filtered water for feeding sourdough starter, but the cost was over $20. This morning after this dream, I looked at my coffee machine, and remembered that it has a water filter part to it. I just needed to buy replacement filter cartridges and I can use it to filter water, and I spend less. I bet that's the solution my dreaming mind was pointing me toward.

One fragment of a dream there was se totalitarian state that used chips to keep track of their citizens and also to listen in on them. I was looking for my brother or a friend, and I suspected he had been there, but did not know for sure. I infiltrated the country pretending to be sepne else and had se excuse for the authorities. I was shocked when they added the chips to me. In anothe fragment I was traveling by train, and someone got killed. It was clear one of the passengers was not who they pretended to be. Was it one of the passangers who were important people? My boss incestigated the murder. He came to one passangers and asked him to adjust a wall clock. It turned out he asked that to figure out whether he was left handed. Upon figuring that out my boss called him sinister, joking, but it was clear thisade him more of a suspect in my boss's mind. I thought he was just prejudiced against lefties, started defending the guy, and revealed that I am a leftie. Only then did I remembers boss was a physicist, and the murder weapon was a knife, and he must have figured out that the murderer was left handed based on the knife's position. And I had just put myself higher on the suspect list.
So there I was out for a walk, when I noticed that I must have parked our van in the middle of the street. Why would I do that? And I could not even move it now because I only had the other car's key on me. Was this even our van? As I thought that the van started to drive off. I thought, ah good, not ours. Then it occurred to me to check whether it was a dream. I tried finger through palm and it would not go through (I should stop trying this RC, it never work for me). But then I thought, I think it is a dream. I became aware of my physical body lying in bed. I alas started to lose dream. I managed to still notice that it was a beautiful day in my dream: sunny and the blossoms were already in bloom in my dream unlike in reality. I tried spinning to stabilize, but I lost the dream. Upon waking up I tried to immediately write down my dream on my iPhone, but my husband tried to take my phone from me. I kept insisting that it was important that I write down this dream, but he would not listen to me. And that is when I really woke up. Yikes, false awakening opportunity missed. And then I almost forgot to RC to check whether this was another FA! I started writing the dream, but then remembered to RC. I looked at the time twice. It continues to be 4:23, and I am pretty confident that now I am awake. Oh and this lucid was a result of a WBTB: I got up and got a cup of warm milk around 2:30. I almost had not gotten up, but I thought might as well get up to increase chance of WBTB.

I was notyself. I was however famale. I was put in prison for political descent. The prison was located on the other side of a high mountain. My father (not my real father but in the dream he was) he came to helpe escape. Luckily he was a skilled mountain climber. The mountain had impossible cliffs and yet somehow we did it. On the other side of the mountain though there was some sort of man made structure that we found ourselves on and jumping from that would be too high, it would kill me my father informed me. Then my father was no longer there and my dream self did not notice. I looked for a solution, and finally saw something I could not believe I had missed before: there was a staircase, and while there was no direct access to it, but I could climb over a railing am swing from that railing onto the staircase, and it was not hard compared to the maintain climbing. So I did it. On the other side there was a quiet town. I staid there anonymously for a while. There were kind people there. Then I think I went abroad. At some point I tried to arrange the release of the other political prosoners in that prison. Ultimately I could go back to my people. They were amazed how did I escape from that prison. Fragment: something about a research paper on alien abductions.
I was driving without a drivers license. I think I was still a teenager. I would tale the highway but exit at the next exit, and I think I did that a few times. At some point I was getting into a parking garage when I felt jolted because another car had bumped me from behind. I wondered whether there was any damage but decided to not get out and to ignore it because getting out I would have been expected to show a license. I was choosing ice cream at an ice cream store, and I chose vanilla with chocolate fudge and vanilla with Carmel.
All I remember is that in a dream I had upper respiratory issue. In waking life I have sinus issues so yes.
After watching Downton Abbey last night, my dream was set during those times. There was some sort of gathering, and I was one of two younger adults there. One of the older women during the gathering kept talking about how times are changing and how people need to pitch in and not act entitled. When it was time to leave, she just left though, and only we two younger adults were left and there were no servants, and someone needed to clean up some, and also to pack up and carry some of her stuff out of there. I grumbled how she talked about not acting entitled, but then she did act entitled herself, why should we be packing up her stuff. Besides we did not know which of the stuff lying around was hers and what belonged in this place, so how were we going to decide that and pack up. Someone else suggested, when in doubt, leave it here. However, I somehow was not satisfied with that, didn't want to leave any of her stuff behind. There was also something during the gathering where the more important people were not supposed to be there, so someone was standing in front of them as if to hide them. Not effective at all, but apparently needed for forms sake. And the less important people would not acknowledge that the more important ones were there. As they were leaving, one of the gentlemen had the idea that they would sign their names to show they had been there, so the other less important people would later see the names and feel bad they had not acknowledged them. The pen was almost out of ink, but everyone signed anyway, and there was even a sense that it was good the pen was almost out of ink, though I do not know why.
