The first dream starts off where I and some random people are picked out to test the portal gun. We go through all the tests normally. I have to say though, it was pretty fun and make sense when I think back. The last test I can remember had me jump really high up to get to the final location. What's odd is that when I jumped up and down, the feeling would normally wake me up, but this time it hadn't. I was just jumping up and down before finally landing on the platform and going through a door. That's when I woke up.
After falling back asleep, the next dream had I remembered was leaving my house to go to some other place. I had taken the local highway out of Tucson and began on my way. Except there was something strange, I wasn't in a car at all. I was flying. But what was weird was that I didn't actually have a body, it was kind of like typing 'noclip' into a game and flying around like that. I had gone up a couple of hills before coming to a billboard where I rested. I then looked at the time and noticed my watch wasn't working, and being in what was pretty much the middle of the desert, I decided to fly off the road in hopes of trying to find a watch repairman. One thing that I remember about the setting of where I was at, was that it was at dusk. The dust in the air had this golden glow that shined on all of plants.
As I continued, I had come across this house that had a few people living in it. It looked like any normal house with a nice front yard. I remember talking to the owners where they handed me a pamphlet of some guy you traveled around the desert repairing watches. I went outside thinking to myself, "How in the world was I supposed to find this traveling watch repairman in the desert?" As I continued to travel in the direction that I was traveling in before, I came across this wooden house. Inside it lived an old lady who gave off this creepy vibe. Things get stranger when I hear a loud crash and a giant mech sort of thing starts fighting with the old lady and the owners I had just recently talked with. The old lady puts a curse on the mech before being crushed and one of the owners is knocked unconscious. After which the mech explodes leaving behind it's weapon which I run up and grab. But because this weapon has some sort of tracking device on it, a person up in an alien space station disables it rendering it useless. So, I wait a while before heading back feeling guilty about the whole situation. I get back to the house to find that the resulting explosion had destroy both the old lady's house and the original one. It was sad to watch as I saw one of the owners hug the other one who had been missing her legs and the rest of their family and roommates comfort her.
After that, I decided that I should be on my way. I flew back to the billboard before continuing on the road. I recall that this experience was a lot more appealing considering that the old dry desert gave way to a lush, forest type area. There was a river at the bottom and a couple of waterfalls on the side of cliffs. It wasn't flat, it was more mountainous. It was a nice little town that had adapted to the cliffs, although there were some roads that did lead to the top of the mountains where there were either more buildings, or parks. I remember being in a car at this point driving over dams that served as the towns electric provider that had water going over the top rather than the bottom. I also remember the radio being on some 80's station as David Bowie's "Let's Dance" came on along with "Sweet Dreams" and "Girls Just Want to Have Fun". Which surprisingly, now that I think about it, it sounded pretty clear and accurate in the dream. The dream concludes as I drive up to a park that has a sign that says "Assembly Park".
Well, this certainly concludes the long dry-spell that I've been having. Although I can't believe I missed the chances to become lucid. Although overall I feel pretty happy about this despite the fact that I've been sick this past weekend. xD
