memorable

I'm at work (I work in a kindergarten). The gate between the playground and the road is open, and I can't seem to close it or stop the children from running out and across the road where there parents are congregated (children in danger = dream sign). There is a lot of commotion, apparently two of the children have got a new sibling and the parents have brought them along. I start getting confused, because only one mother that I know of is due to have a new baby. Suddenly one of the newborns comes walking towards me. I get even more confused, as newborns generally don't walk. As the straw to break the camel's back the parents now start dancing down the road - bollywood style! "This is crazy" I think, "I'm definitely dreaming!"
At this point I think I am lucid. The dream is fuzzy and the people look transluctant. I try to stabilize by kneeling down and touching the asphalt. It is warm from the sun and feels real. The dream comes into focus a little more, but is still fuzzy. I try to will the dancing parents away, but am unsuccesful. I turn around, try again, and when I turn back only one parent is left. I decide to be satisfied and start to think of what to do. I remember one member on DV who wrote about the Task of the Year Challenge, specifically Jack and the Beanstalk. I see a fuzzy male DC on the road and decide to transform him into a seed for the beanstalk. I compress him with my hands, and eventually he turns into a little pill-like brown seed. At this point I realise that trying to finish this challenge is overly ambitious. Instead I remember the Easter Egg challenge from TotM, and set out to look for one in the gardens at the side of the road. Frustratingly, every time I near a bush or flower bed they disapear! I see a lot of christmas decorations for some reason. Finally I spot a big cardboard egg, which I open. Inside there is a lot of tiny candy and half of a smaller cardboard egg. I get greedy, and go to look for more eggs! I suddenly lose vision. I know I'm about to wake up, and I do.




I'm not actually sure if this was a lucid dream. It occured very late in the morning, long past the time I usually wake up if I'm working. It kind of had the feel of one of those semi-dreams I sometimes have after waking up if I consciously try to make a fantasy story into a dream (which never succeeds). If it indeed was such a fantasy, it was very vivid and there was vision, which is unusual.
