(FULLY NON LUCID)


I'm getting my passport renewed on the same-day fast/expensive service at a regional walk-in passport office.
I wait a while stood at the counter, waiting for my 'new passport' to be returned.

When it comes back it's a cobbled together passport made from an A3 maroon (correct colour) cheap diary, rather than an official maroon EU passport type document.

I flicked through my new 'passport'

• The identity page from my old passport had been cut and pasted (pritt-stick'ed) into my new 'passport'
• The new photograph had been glued onto this page, in a shabby way!!
• The magnetic ink printed footer is gobbledygook (or possibly missing)
• Existing Visa and entry/exit stamps had been HAND DRAWN on random pages, to replicate what had been in the original document.

I query whether the passport was still a usable document in this form, and was assured that it was, because "we've issued it" ... I exit the passport office, through the front door, skipping forward to a new scene..

I'm on a large (long haul) jetliner in twilight (early morning) which is taxi-ing away from a runway just after having landed.. As the aircraft turns away from the runway, I see all of the runway lighting.

Shortly, the aircraft stops at a gate stand and the doors open
I'm first to disembark. Stepping through the aircraft door causes a new scene change...
I'm 2nd or 3rd in the immigration queue at a USA airport (Scene change skipped getting off plane and walking through airport!!)

I wait in line. I get called forward to the the desk and present my passport.
The officer starts examining the passport...

This 'crazy' dream was about a week ago..
In waking life, I dont have a games console... Not had one for years since the ORIGINAL chunky Sony PlayStation (One)



(Spontanious lucidity.... Isnt that a DILD? .... early morning ~4.30AM ish)



Im in a big city, with high rise glass sky scrappers, smaller & older 5,6 or 7 floors low rise etc... like New York
In the bottom right of my vision (which is exclusively 1st person), I have a little square map,
in which there is a black dot in the middle which is me... The map scrolls when I move, keeping me centred.

There are green dots on the map, which are other people in the city scene, which isn't very densely 'populated' ...
I'll only see at most 5 or 6 other people in the street i'm in. The people are 'tracked' on the map when they move

A police car passes, on the map its an alternately flashing white and blue dot... Normal cars are just white dots!!

Anyway, I wander around the city a short while, getting used to my surroundings, and it occurs to me that its like 'Grand Theft Auto' with the map.... Thats NOT Normal!!!.... The bizarreness of that cements my knowledge' I'm dreaming!!' (Lucid!)

Incidently, other significant features of the city that occur during my rampage in the dream are, that some of the wider boulevard streets I go through, have 'vintage eastern European type' trams running along there central reservation, they are yellow at the bottom, and white at the top (Just like Budapest trams!!) .... There is a galvanised steel public art sculpture that looks like the M C Escher impossible triangle.

Knowing I'm dreaming... and I'm 'playing out' a Grand Theft Auto type game on foot in my dream...
... but its all an illusion, so I'm free to do whatever I want...

I ... go on a one man (petty) crime wave on foot, snatching handbags, pushing over old men with walking sticks, stealing pairs of jeans & trainers on racks displayed outside bizaar type shops store fronts.... Vandalising phone boxes etc...

Halfway through my rampage, I try to pause the game and then unpause it... It works!! Everything freezes, then continues again!!
The 'game' has pause music, which is an instrumental only version of 'Dont you want me baby', by 'The Human League'

so ... When police car dots appear on the map now, they have a red and blue flashing 'capture zone' circle around them...
... The more bad stuff I do, the bigger the capture zone circles get!... I'm trying to not get caught

So eventually, I end up entering a 'capture zone', the whole map flashes red and blue, and the chase is on!!
... I get chased by a police car, so I run down a cobbled side street with bollards, so they can't pursue me.
... The police get out of the car and pursue me on foot.
As I'm running, I'm trying to keep them away, by grabbing flare grenades and smoke bombs from my belt,
(Where did they come from!?!) and throwing them to distract the police.

This goes on for a little while, then I (Wake up in the early hours of the morning)
