Cities in the Astral

I am investigating something with my friend. It is unclear what we are trying to figure out. This is in my old house before the remodel. It turns out I fell someone has been in the house when I am not there. He points out to me and my family bleach residue in both showers, Somehow this is evidence. No one has used bleach in the showers. He finds a bag of some sort of pellets that must be cleaning products. I do not recognize it. My adult son says it must have been (some women's name). I find out that while I go away working my wife has had a women and her child living in my house and eating out food. I am angry. Why am I supporting strangers. Why are they hiding this? My wife gets emotional and admits she has been having an afair with the women, but emphasizes only up to a point, unlike me when I did something with some Asian women (no relation to real life.) I wake up at this point angry and confused.

I had to defend someone against their angry abusive father. I fought him and tied him to a chair. For some reason I felt I had to stab him in the hand and leg so he would have trouble chasing us. The scene changes and I and others are crowded in a truck. My uncle is there. He is insisting his niece come out from a party. It is a dead end road. Her twin sister is there. She comes out from the party and is in a nice dress, He orders her into the bed of the truck. I object and let her have my seat and I climb into the truck bed. We start to pull out and I realize my car is parked there in the middle of the road. I try to get the driver to stop so I can move it. I realize it must be broken down. I am worried it will get hit or towed. Then I am in some farm building and the police have come to arrest me and the girl for stabbing her fathers hand. I can not remember what else happened. I am just wanting to journal a few dreams to get my recall engaged again. This was all totally non-lucid.

Using Alarm DIELD I drift into sleep watching colored lines moving about. I imagine the sensation of walking and eventually I am standing in a well lit room. A woman comes in from another room. It is a girl I have known for decades in real life, but she is young here. I realize this is a dream at first but my awareness of that kind of fades as the dream goes on. I think how she is young and not really as pretty as I thought. I see something on the ground moving. I go look at it. It is a big black widow the size of a mouse. In my fascination looking at it I begin to forget this is not a dream. I go back and forth some times knowing it is not real, and being actually concerned about the spider. the fact that I was concerned shows my lucidity was waning. I summoned a metal bowl and placed it over the spider. It started pushing the bowel along the floor. I told her to get me a plate that I could slide under it. Again less lucid, I could have summoned a plate. She brings me some weird object that is not a plate. I wonder why I am doing this? What do I intend on doing with a mouse sized spider? I could put it in my room to eat bugs? (see not very clear thinking) No, I do not want a black widow in my room, it could end up biting me. It is going to get out. I throw my phone on it! Crunch. Why did I do that? How cruel. And why my phone? It starts to move. there is my phone on top of it.
My alarm is going off for the next snooze cycle. That is why the phone was involved.

I am exploring when I come to a building kind of like an apartment complex. Suddenly I am observing third person and things shift to a cartoon like mode. Some people are arguing and in a corny fashion someone pulls a lever and a wall opens up. Out comes a giant red crocodile about the size of a pick up truck. It lumbers forward slowly. That scene is replaced by me being in a body again and continuing walking around. Not fully lucid but not taking this the least bit serious. I kind of realize none of it is real.
I find a group of women who are wanting to go out partying. Someone suggests that there is a dark rave going on. I take this to mean Goth. The character Gena Meronie from 30 Rock says that is stupid and that they will not go. I follow them. I am not attempting any sort of control and just want to see what random stuff my mind pulls up. eventually I see a car ramp leading down into a parking garage and that some sort of party is there. I go down the ramp and peopple are charging $5- to get in. I see the people inside are Goth. I look back and the women have followed me. I say "this must be that dark rave." Gena is mad and says "we can not go there, I will be hubliated!" That is not a typo. I noted the made up word.
A woman dressed in a red Goth gown comes out and hangs like a bat from the ceiling above the door men. She pulls a lever and the back wall starts to open. Guess what is behind it? A giant red crocodile. People start running. Not me. This is clearly a dream. I note that it is shifting into a cartoon mode much like Scooby Doo. Very amusing! I wonder why the heck my mind is fixated on red crocks? I am now 3rd person again. It is so much like a Scooby cartoon, I am chuckling inside. The view is down some sort of dungeon corridor half filled with water. there is a narrator but I am not sure what he said. I focus on the croc, and another comes (giggle) then a third is coming at me. (giggle, how the hell do 3 giant crocs fit in the hallway!) Then a big tiger Joins them! There are now 3 giants cartoon crocs and a cartoon tiger charging at me. Oh my, how intimidating (giggle). My alarm goes off as this was an Alarm DEILD. I wake up fairly happy.

I am in a room and there is a sweet little talking ferret and some other talking critter, perhaps a squirrel. I am not exactly lucid. I know this is a dream, sort of, not fully. There is a plot going on but I do not recall what lead up to this. The ferret has agreed to do something very heroic! Perhaps it is to take a message secretly to someone or perhaps it is to sneak into an enemy tent and steal something important. He is now in a tube or something like a cut off pant leg and can not get out, and we need to escape the room. He turns around and burst out of the open end! It is a great moment of triumph and he is so proud of his smartness and how brave he is! What a good ferret. Let's go! We run out of the room and are along a road side. We start running. There is a guard rail on my right side and I keep between him and the road so he will not get hit. There is a hill on the left. The place he needs to go is down that hill up ahead. We get to the trail head where he must do this brave thing. There is chain link between us and the road. He is now clinging onto the chain link and could end up in the road. I take him protectively in my arms. He tells me he is afraid to do the thing. He is so sweet and cute. How could I have asked such a darling helpless creature to do something so dangerous? The dream ends here.

Trying to get back into Alarm Deild, never got to a dream, but did stay conscious after the body slept. This left me in a darkness Shapes moved darkly in the background, I could influance them and create images of birds. Suddenly a wonderful eye covering much of my vision open out of the blackness. Magical and detailed. It was only there for a few seconds.
