    1. What brought me here?

      Well, I've lucid dreamed in the past enough but it wasn't really deep. It is a regular thing for me in dreams to be able to fly. I always find it a lot of fun to fly in my dreams and I do it very regularly. Normally I'm restricted in how high I can go, though not really how fast. I can travel long distances when Flying. Last night was a much more vivid dream though in which 3 significant events occurred that I found interesting, well kind of 4 but it is 3 of them that have my attention and make me think that this is more than just entertainment and there is a connection between this dream and things that I am going to do or need to do in real life.

      so before my 3 am pee I did have some normal dreams. My sleeping schedule is a bit whacked right now as I've been doing a lot more napping and such. I was quite tired last night. It was when I went back to sleep at around 4 am that the big one started. I found myself in a large store. Like a Walmart but it wasn't one that I recognize. While in the store there was a power outage. Up to this point it was more of a normal dream. As the lights were out I started flying around a bit, as normal, but someone yelled at me that I wasn't allowed to fly. At this time I became aware that I was dreaming. I became a bit mischievous at this point and started messing around with some of the customers in the store. They couldn't see hardly anything at all but I was able to see in the dark partially because I wanted the ability I guess. In the store I saw an open display of candy and sampled a few pieces of it. I remember specifically eating one of those sour rope candy things, blueberry in particular, it was delicious. I had a few other flavors of those candy ropes and some other candies. Eventually the lights came back on and the guy, who apparently was a manager at the store, approached me again and invited me to come upstairs into the store office to talk. This is where I think events became important.

      I was led to a flight of stairs that went up about 1 1/2 stories high. He speficly told me that he knew that I could fly but it was very important that I walked up those stairs instead of flew. I don't know why it was important and he didn't tell me. I did argue a bit that it would be much faster and easier for me to just fly up to the office, but he said to just trust him that it was important for me to walk up the stairs. The climb up the stairs was exhausting. The last 1/4 of the climb also I had to work very hard to get my legs to move. At the top I was worn out and had to stop to rest before I could actually walk to the office. I felt that it was some kind of a test that I had manged to pass. I think that for whatever reason this climbing of the stairs was the most important part of my dream. It wasn't fun or excited and took a lot of time, at least from my dreaming mind. It probably took place in less than a second in real time. Anyway someone mentioned that i was going to be exahasted and dehydrated a bit becuase of this and it would be important to drink some water (haven't done that yet, I'm going to go grab a bottle of water right now).

      I'm back, was out of bottled water and grabbed some iced tea instead.

      Anyway in the office I found my sister already seated at a computer. The store manager told me the name of a guy who lived somewhere in the north west part of the town I grew up in. I wasn't very familiar with that part of town and I don't know the exact spot but I know that there are probably about 40 or 50 houses in that area, so it shouldn't be very hard to figure out if in fact that person does actually live in that area. The guy I was given the name of is somewhere within 10 years of my own age and was a name I recognized when told, but now I can't remember it. I was in fact given both a first and last name and I think I would remember it if I was told it again. Also important about this part was that I told my sister in the dream that I was dreaming at the time and none of it was real. I had told some other people in the dream that I was dreaming also. As far as I could tell that store manager was the only one that was aware ahead of time that I was dreaming. I'm not completely sure if it was because of him that I figured out it was a dream or if I figured it out entirely on my own. The dream ended when I had been shown relatively where the guy lived and references to go by. It was interesting that the map shown on the dream computer was a very old map from perhaps before I was born and didn't have houses in that area. In real life when I looked at that are of the map I was able to find that there were in fact several houses in that general area.

      The last significant part of this is that I haven't lived in that town for over 15 years. I'm going to be moving back not to there exactly but a place very close to it less than 2 weeks from now. My sister already lives there. I don't think the store that the dream was talking place in exists outside of the dream. It wasn't familiar to me.
