non-dream dream lucid

Went to sleep around 1:30 or so, which is a HUGE difference from when I've been going to sleep recently.
Woke up around 6:45. Might get another nap after this.

I can't help but think that before this, I might've had a lucid dream. Incredibly hazy though.
The only thing I can remember is I'm on my couch, and the bathroom light is on. No other light source exists and the room seems to be quite a bit different. The atmosphere is one of uneasiness, but it could quickly turn to anxiety if anything strange happens.

EDIT: I seem to remember something else.
I'm on my couch, and I'm moving around. There's lots of people here. It's hard to get comfortable.

But the main event is to follow.

Visiting Chicago for no reason
Recall score: 8
Lucid: no
TGMG: no

So I'm in Detroit. Lots of brown buildings with glass around us, as well as a monorail track above? We're in a pretty large open area, with lots of space. Lots of DCs around me (including television reporters), mostly centered around a rather large police van which at that point bursts open.

Two DCs come out of the back. One looks kinda like one of the police investigator types. Shorter, probably older and lacking hair, and has a really deep voice.
The other DC (taller, more mexican looking) is more aggressive, but it seems that the two have been together for more time than you'd think.

So they come out and now they're standing in the middle of this clearing with loads of DCs surrounding (I'm in the group). All of a sudden the cop pulls out a pistol and points it at the other DC. So they kinda just stand there for a second. I try to get as far away from their line of fire as possible. Apparently a lot of the other DCs are as its hard to move around even though the crowd isn't amazingly thick.

Eventually, and somehow, the criminal guy runs towards the cop, steals the pistol and in what seems like two seconds, the cop gets shot in the head. I'm immediately contemplating running like fuck, before everyone starts cheering. I'm like "wtf" before everyone starts clearing the area. I walk off, but I stay around long enough to see some of the TV stations come and look around. By this time it's starting to get dark out.

One of the channel 7 guys comes and videos the corpse of the cop, before remarking "Put this on youtube and watch it become the next viral video".

Next thing I know I'm walking down a street. Very brown, the stores are brown, the sidewalks brown, the awning that's above me is brown. There's a handrail to my right that I'm holding on to.

After that, I remember my mom picking me up and we drive back home. So now I'm at home in my living room, and my mom is telling me to get ready. I get in the car and then in what feels like 5 minutes we're in Chicago.

I get out of the car and look around for a bit at all the buildings. It's really really nice out, early morning, twilighty blue sky, and it's cold but not uncomfortably cold. I seem to recall a slight breeze as well.
I'm thinking "There's places here that I don't even remember!". Last time I was here was in 2004 or so.
Like the brown building with vertical glass windows and what looks like a wine cork on the top.

At that point I start looking at the skyline and thinking "on one of those buildings is the WLS ch7 transmitter!".
Of course, we had our own ch7 (WXYZ) but theirs is a lot fancier.
At that point I recall a dream fact that WLS and a few other stations moved their transmitters off the downtown skyscrapers a few years ago!

I look back away from the skyline and I eventually see another building off in the distance. The building itself was another skyscraper but not nearly as skyscraping as the ones on the skyline. It was mostly blue and glass. It has a red and white tower on it. "That must be it!" I think to myself. And just in front of it I see a lattice mast with three small towers coming off the top. "Another antenna I guess".

So I get back in the car and before I even ask my mother to stop and get something to eat, she's already driving downtown towards a restaurant. Not in downtown but close. We stop and get out and walk into a building almost entirely composed of very thick green glass. It's a rather fancy restaurant, with lots of wooden seats and tables. We go and sit on one of the other tables to the side.
Lots of DCs around us, all really nice as well. I choose not to really interact, but rather just take everything in.

I can't remember what I ate, but I know it was on a plate. Was it fish? Fish rings a bell actually. Was really good.

After I ate, I looked around, and I could see outside the building through the glass. Loads of DCs walking by outside.

Eventually we walk out and we walk back to our car.
And after that, it's back home. I wake up not too soon after.
