Cities in the Astral

I actually had a fairly long stretch of non-lucid dream in which I had been to a Rainbow Gathering. Lisa was there and asked if I would drop her off at a cabin that was on my way home. We got in a car and drove. She had me stop at a building and we interacted with a DC in the building. When we went outside the girl disappeared. I realized it was a dream. I started looking for the car. It was not there. I planned on summoning a sports car, perhaps with a gold metallic flake finish, but decided I would just fly where ever I was going to go. I feel like I will need the ladder that is near by? Seriously? Yes, an inner voice tells me I will need the ladder soon. What, should I hall a ladder around? Fuck that. No, you need the ladder. Fine, I will shrink it and keep it in my pocket, hows that? No response. I shrink the ladder. The visuals fuck up and the ladder kind of just disappears. Whatever. I see a flashlight. I pick it up and decide to make it work. I look into the lense and it is off. I focus and it comes on shining light. The girl calls to me from a near by motel room door. I go over there and the dream quality falls off to an nREM state.
