I'm not sure why, but this one stuck with me very hard. It was an extremely emotional dream compared to most.

Seal Chasing
Non-Lucid
Very Memorable

Non-dream Non-Lucid Lucid

The scene starts off with me and my pet seal walking down the street, looking for somewhere for her to play. We come across a gym/olympic training center for swimmers. We go inside, and see no one, so we make our way down the main hall, past an empty reception desk towards a room with large wooden doors. On our left, there is a large trophy case with glass shelves. We cautiously open the door. NO one is inside, so we make our way in. The room is extremely large, in the center is a pool, which has a layer of ice over it. We decide to hop onto the ice and play around for a while.

After several minutes of playing on the ice, the seal finds a small hole, and jumps on it, widening the hole, and allowing her to slip beneath the surface. I rush over to the hole and peer down inside. The seal is playing in the water, swimming around. I decide that the swimming will be good for her, so I slide around on the ice for a while longer. After a few more minutes, I return to the hole and look for my seal, who is nowhere to be seen.

I search around further for the seal and see, at the bottom of the pool, a hole and a very large tube/pipe leading further down. I head out of the room and search for a way down.

Jump.

I'm downstairs now, searching for the seal. I run down the hall, peeking into the rooms on each side. Each room is very long, several hundred yards. They're all filled with water slides, pools, diving boards. Some of the larger slides stretch to the ceiling and large pipes like the one I saw on the surface end just above them as if to go directly from the pool above down to these slides. I continue running, and see more and more of the extremely large rooms on the left and the right.

Finally, I reach the end of the hall, and turn back to go into some of the rooms.

Jump.

Now I'm being chased by large men wearing suites and sunglasses (Secret Service types) I grab anything I can find to use as a weapon. Unfortunately, for the most part, I can only find pens and pencils. I find a maintenance bay, and grab some screwdrivers. As I leave the bay and continue down the hallway, one of them starts running the opposite way down the hall towards me. I pull out my improvised weapons, and begin to chuck pencils and pens at him like throwing spikes. I throw knives in RL, so I'm not surprised to find frequent allusions to knife throwing in my dreams. I stick a couple of pens in his chest and torso, but nothing deep enough to be more than a nuisance. Then I throw a screwdriver, and stick him deep in the collar/shoulder, and he goes down. I continue running and come to a rolling tool cart. I refill by picking up a screwdriver and another pen.

I'm back upstairs now, and I am entering the room we skated in again. Inside are two guards, and behind them is something shining with bright yellow light. I throw my screw driver at the further guard, and stab the closer with my pen. I run over to the shining light, and it is a dear on a pedestal. There are laurel wreaths to each side of the deer. The whole setup looks like a grand shrine. I shouted 'Chani!' There you Are! And the dream faded.

At some point the seal became a deer. The name I called it is that of a character in the Dune series by Frank Herbert.
I don't know why this was so important. I had a lot of emotion invested into the search for the seal. The whole experience stuck in my mind.

After more than a year of slack, I've decided to start keeping a DJ again.

Video Games
Non-Lucid

NonDream Non-lucid Lucid

The scene is a COD Black Ops map. I know I’m playing a game, in fact, at one point I realize that pressing LB and double tapping A make me sprint. I do not know how I had a controller, it was as if I had dual consciousness. I could feel my ‘in-game body’ , as well as my ‘player’ hands. I play around with sprinting for a while. There are mammoths walking around, and I attack one from atop a stone column. The mammoth chases me into a small house, all the while, I’m whacking it with a minecraft sword. I close the door of the small house in the mammoth’s face, but I can see that it will not hold for long. The top hinge breaks, and the door falls partially over. I can see the mammoth pressing up against the door. Somehow Gandalf appears in front of the mammoth and starts banging on the door with his staff and shouting at me to open it. Finally he gets mad and shouts to some deity “AKATOSH MOVE THIS DOOR!” Several times he shouts “AKATOSH MOVE!”

I'm not sure why I had so many video game elements in this one, I haven't had time to play in weeks.
