Cities in the Astral

This was a WILD after I got up and used the rest room following part 2.
This dream had a very emotional portion. I screwed around again with very basic LD stuff and randomly explored, but I will skip the basic stuff as it is taking me to liong to do my journal today. I ended up hanging out with a DC of my step dad and we were out riding bikes while I had fun moving the roads around and controlling traffic with TK and so on. At some point we went down a hill and a small crowd was looking at some thing. I stopped (bike disappeared) and examined it. It was crazy; a bunch of coral was growing out of a bench or something and a large bright pink spider was busily wrapping it all in a huge web. i called the DC of my step dad over and showed him. The graphics were astounding! I watched the spider for about a full minute as it hurried around and around encasing the live coral in a web. Of course coral do not live without water, but I knew it was a dream, so whatever, I was just getting off on how incredible the graphics were.
The pink spider became a pink sea crab and the web became the out side of a giant fish tank and filled with sea water. A larger crowd had gathered. It was now just a wonderfully vivid coral reef tank. Someone put a hand on my shoulder.

I must explain here about my father. my father was a internationally renowned expert on corral reef tanks. He was basically famous in that feild (such a small field, so maybe famous is not the word). My father died about 3 months ago, suddenly, in his sleep.

I looked and it was my father who put his hand on my shoulder. He was just as vivid as the tank. I assumed he was just a DC at first. he said something like " I have created this for you. Every time you look into a reef tank, know that I am there."

I said "Oh my god! Are you really here with me in this dream, dad?" he wrapped his arms around me in a hug, and it felt so real and life like, and exactly like it felt to hug him in real life (he was barrel chested). I thin I woke up or lost lucidity after this, but am not sure. Dur~ no idea, poor recall in parts, maybe 30 minutes?
