Dream One (Fragment): There's some sort of sign ups for a living video game... I think it's more like VR though than a living video game. The idea was just that you submerse yourself in the game completely because it's all around you. I was signing up, of course!

Dream Two: I'm meeting someone in an apartment, 209 (this is relevant later, lol). I have my grandma with me, apparently even in dreams I'm not stupid enough to meet someone I've met from the net alone, lol. I think I've met her online, and I'm buying something from her. She turns out to be really awesome, and she tells me she's into lucid dreaming, and we talk a bit about dream views. Then she asks me if I still have some shirt for sale, and I tell her I'm sorry I don't. Then Grandma is getting mad, so I say I have to leave. I somehow end up in this movie studio watching this clip of a cartoon character falling through the floor with some potion or something. Then I'm watching a clip of how the movie was originally going to be live action, but movie magic was difficult... and I'm the cartoon character, trying to fall through this fake floor in the studio, but it's not working. A guy is sitting on a motorcycle nearby, and the director is talking about all these stupid rules that they have to follow and making the decision to make the movie a cartoon instead of live action because cartoons are easier, all you have to do is DRAW what you want, there are no stupid movie magic rules! The guy on the motorcycle is upset because there some law about the motorcycle that says it has to be filmed covered up and edited back in later. He wants to show off his motorcycle, not cover it in plastic! Then the director tells us to leave and I walk out the door... into a room with a big square made out of tables. and sitting at these long tables are people I went to school with... all grown up. It's been years since I've seen 99% of these people, but still I am not uncomfortable like I normally would be. I sit down next to this chic, and note she's put on a LOT of weight since high school. I'm chatting with her though, even though we never were good friends or anything. Then I see this boy who I had a crush on for a while. He's still cute, but he just seems to have an attitude now that he didn't used to have so I avoid him. Then a phone rings. I think it's the girls beside me, aand everyone is getting angry about this phone ringing. The girl beside me asks me if It's mine, and I'm like, No, it has to be yours because my phone is one silent... then pull up my phone and it IS my phone. I say, "That's weird! My phones on silent, and still ringing! I don't even HAVE this ring tone! what the heck?" I try to silence it and it doesn't silence. There's a picture on the screen of a chic with hot pink hair with neon orange Highlights. It sounds ugly, but it was really gorgeous the way the colors blended so well. I answer, and she tells me she's a friend of the woman whom I met earlier, and that she's into lucid dreaming too and wants to hang out and meet me. I'm like yeah, sure that'd be great I didn't know there were so many lucid dreamers here in Hick town! then I leave the room and wake up on my back to the apartment.

Dream Three: I'm walking on some road I don't recognize. There are white dashes and numbers and arrows painted all over the road. I'm following them, and I think they're going to take me to some Martin Luther King building? I finally get there, and it's a theater! My husband is suddenly there with my son, and starts asking if they allow little kids to come see Star wars, but is told no, because the 3d could hurt their eyes. I leave my husband to argue with the people, and wander off down the road again. I end up in Union county or Union something, and think to myself I have no clue where this is!

Dream Four (Fragment): I'm in the living room. My grandma asks if my uncle is here yet, I didn't know he was coming over. I get up to check, and there's a black truck in the driveway that I guess is his.

Dream Five: My husband and I are in the old downtown of a nearby city. The buildings are easily a hundred years or more old. There's a hotel/jewelry store and apparently we'd stayed there a few nights ago and I think I forgot something there. We go inside to ask the lady if they'd found the necklace I found, and she says no. I notice a really pretty gold moon necklace with purple stones set in it. The shape is just like the necklace I'm missing, only mine is blue stones and white gold. (in waking life, the necklace is broken, not missing. One of the stones fell out, so now all the stones move and fall out without it to hold them in place. I also see a pretty purple full moon necklace. I check the price though, and at first I think it's $69, but then I move my hand that's on the sticker and it's $8,869... and I'm like HELL NO I don't have that kind of money, lol. I put it back quickly, but then these little girls come over and grab my leg and start pulling on me. They look too old to be doing that, maybe 12 or 13? and they keep talking to me like I should recognize them, but I don't so they get mad. Then my husband tells them we have to go, and I'd see them later. They reluctantly let go of me, and my husband and I walk outside. We get halfway down the block, and my husband tells me he has something for me. He pulls out the necklace I was looking out. I FREAK out, "OMG! That thing was so expensive! We don't have that much money!" and he's like, "nah, it was on sale for $60," and I'm like "maybe $6000, but that was a $9000 necklace! There's no way they'd discount it that much! Take it back now!" I'm getting out the receipt and looking at it all the while, and it's hard to read, but I manage to grasp that the total was $7000! I'm thinking we don't have that much money in the bank, how did the transaction even go through?! My husband is mad, but he takes the necklace back anyways (can't blame him for being upset, he only wanted to make me happy and instead he made me really mad) The lady refuses to refund him, and he comes back outside telling me as much. So I storm into the place and tell her she's not going to get her flipping money either way because we don't have it in the bank for them to give her, so she might as well just take the damn thing back so she can sell it to someone who can actually PAY her instead of us practically stealing it like this. She refuses still and storm out pissed off too. My husband insists that I should just keep it and be happy with it, but I yell at him that it's his stupid fault for buying it and not paying attention to the price, and I'm sick of him spending money we don't have! He gets mad, and so uncharacteristically for him, he gives me the finger and walks off! I turn around and walk the other direction, I don't want to deal with him. I just want to run away, get away and not come back. I pull my phone out of my coat pocket, and call my BFF Ambies. She doesn't answer, and it goes to her voicemail. Her voice mail says, "Hey! This is Ambies! Leave a message!" I think to myself, "that's weird... her voicemail should have her real name in it, not her nickname... what if people from work call her?" (she works in a very professional setting) Then I realize, wait, am I dreaming? I am at a little concrete dock overlooking a lake now. I sit down on it. I think, "I can't be dreaming, I can feel the concrete underneath my hands and butt and it hurts!" but then I remember, when I dream I can feel a lot of stuff, I could still be dreaming. I should do the nose plug reality check. It fails. "Am I breathing, while pinching my nose? Really?! I have to be dreaming then. " I stand up, and try to decide what to do, I want to go find K, but then I think I always waste my lucids doing that, and I wanted to try some things that I had read about instead. So I try telling my subconscious to take me to Egypt instead. I say, "Subconscious, please take me to Egypt." it doesn't work, so I decide I need to be a little more sure about it, and I command it, "Subconscious, take me to Egypt, NOW." Still no luck. I think to fly there, so I run and jump, I float for a few seconds, get a bit freaked out, "Woah I'm floating for real!" and then fall, lol. I try looking at the mountain ahead of me, and picturing it turning into a pyramid, doesn't work... then I feel like I'm falling backwards and it's like I fall backwards into my bed and wake up.

That makes the second time I've gotten lucid in a dream I fought with my husband. Believe it or not, we rarely have big fights in waking life. Other than the one we had last week that kept me from sleeping for several days, we hadn't had one in years. I save all the big arguments for my dreams, lol. But seriously, I'm going to have to start doing proper reality checks and not just asking myself, "Am I dreaming?" Because if I hadn't done that nose plug then, I'd have thought it was for real even after questioning. It wasn't as long as my first 5 lucids, but it wasn't as short as the last two I've had either, so I think that's progress As for why I didn't just go back to sleep, well my daughter was sick this morning and I was cleaning up puke between many of these dreams, and she was crying her belly hurt shortly after I woke up, so I didn't get the chance!
