Pretty crazy LD adventure.

I was lucid in my old middle school where I saw one of my old high school teachers whom I looked up to. Feeling uncomfortable in a place I associate with being bullied and tough times, I found my way outside.

I had previously decided to talk to a recurring DC that's been appearing in my dreams for the past 6 or so years, so I took advantage of my lucidity to try to find him. I tried the spinning technique to hopefully track him down. I ended up someplace else, so I spun again.

Then I was inside a building in a big city. I was with someone, a friend I suppose, who was leading me around. We passed some desks and down some halls, but overall the place seemed rather vacant and dreary. I went in a bathroom to spit something weird out of my mouth (no clue how that got there..), but I accidentally went in the men's room. The trashcan I had used was near the exit anyway and I knew it was just a dream, so I didn't really care to feel embarrassed that a guy walked in as I walked out.

I went up an elevator one floor. The room was large, spacious, and had big windows on all sides which let in some of the dimming daylight. It was in the center of this room where I saw an empty fish tank. The fish were somewhere dangerous (can't remember where or if they were out of water). I tried to help them back in the safety of the tank but I had difficulty. Most of them seemed dead or dying by the time they were in the tank. I touched them each to see if they were alive and the last one started to wiggle and eventually swim around normally. Feeling sad about the dead fish but happy about the one I saved, I turned to leave the building. Meanwhile, no sign of the DC, as much as I was trying to "summon" him.

I walked down the hall, toward some stairs, where I ran into my brother. He was excited to see me & I him, but I told him we were in my dream. I told him we could do whatever we wanted and, excited about that, he was about to leave to do who-knows-what.

Before he did I called after him, "hey please tell me if you see my friend. Tell him I'm looking for him."

He told me "alright!"

I continued to say, "oh- he's got dark hair, fair skin, and usually red eyes."

"Red eyes?" he was laughing/smiling like he would in real life.

"Yup. That's him. Dream, remember?" I laughed/ smiled too.

He went down the steps and out of the building. I followed soon after, but my brother was no where to be found. I wondered what that meeting could have represented. Outside, it was dark- nighttime actually- but lit up by street lights. It was raining and around me people walked up and down the sidewalks. I continued walking down the sidewalk, calling out for my DC "friend." I was beginning to get soaked with the rain. I eventually fell into deeper sleep, never finding that allusive character.
