Non Lucid
Accomplishment: Managed to remember two dreams.
This is my most favorite dream-night of all times.

It all started one day when I was planing where to go for a holiday. I had a map in front of my eyes. It showed mainland in south and few islands placed north-east. I chose that the middle island will be my destination. According to the map and my plan, I should cross the little island in between before I get there. When I lowered the map I instantly appeared to be at the edge of mainland. I could see the islands being quite close to each other. I looked at the nearest and smallest island I had to cross and the view was.. disturbing.
The island was heavy fortified. There was high, square, plain steel tower standing just in the middle of the island. High walls were stretching from the tower both ways - till it reached steep and cliffy edges of the island. Impossible to cross, it seemed. At the same moment I realized that I, in fact, was standing just in front of the wall.
The wall was so high that I could not see the tower anymore, but I sensed the watchers on the other side. Wall seemed to be plain gray cement line, but I noticed little door just in front of me. To be precise, the door was not little at all - it was as tall as a regular man. It just seemed really tiny.
I took a big breath and ran to the door. Reached for it and opened it.
Sun was shining and the weather was warm. It was so bright around compared to the shadows of the wall that for a second I had to adjust. Trees were green, grass were even more so. People were walking calmly around, all dressed in bright colors. I looked behind, and I could see the tower far away in the distance. I just knew at this point that I reached the middle island. From here it seemed that island went uphill towards the tower. People took a wide patch leading there like there is nothing to be afraid of. I started to follow the path away from the tower.
I looked around. It was so peaceful. Like on those holiday brochures: crystal clear blue water, sandy beach, people relaxing by the shadow of trees, old couples sitting at benches, people walking by chattering. It took me only few steps and soon enough everything gone bad.
Earth started to rumble. Earthquake was my first idea but soon it proved to be wrong. I was wondering between the trees, confused, not knowing what to do. People started to run up the path, towards the tower. There was less and less people showing up and the ground were shaking stronger and stronger. I saw a boar running by. It's movements were quite unnatural - it's legs and moved like it was in slow motion, although it was moving fast on the ground. I got afraid and watched it from behind a tree. The boar did not seem to notice me and just ran towards the tower as people did. A moose followed shortly, running the same direction. And suddenly there was a whole heard of different animals all running in pack.
Suddenly I got my head thinking again and figured out SOMETHING BIG IS GOING TO HAPPEN. Tsunami or alike. So the only reasonable option was to reach the mainland again. I started heading that way and in a second I was at the wall again. Nobody seemed to be there.
I ran through the door the same way I did last time. But this time I did not end up in a different island. I found myself indoors. It was quite dark and I could not see or feel that the space would have any walls. I even didn't step a single step then I noticed a guard is watching at me. I froze and stared at him. Just one eye-blink and ninja appeared from the darkness next to the guard. I didn't make a noise, or a move to reflect it and just watched the ninja to knock out the guard and disappear again. I was still in shock and frozen at the same spot then masses of people started to flow through the door behind me and fill the space.
I opened my eyes in brightness again. I was standing at the same spot as I did when I first arrived The Middle Island. Just this time I could see the path I had been walking before in front of me by the water, and on the right of it I could see the mountain. I could see the trail of animal footprints going towards me and turning around, away from the tower and taking a route up the mountain instead. I was just at the foot of it so I started to follow the trail.
There was no people around at all, I noticed. And then just looked for anyone and my close friend, R was walking beside me. I was glad to see her, although she was not so glad at all. She acted like she was there all along and was watching closely every step she took being more and more disgusted. "What's the matter?" I asked. She said: "There is shit all all over". I looked in front of my feet and it was truth: the animal trail was heavily spattered with animal shit. I tried to avoid the shit as well but we decided we can not go like this anymore. So we have chosen much steeper and harder way up the mountain.
We turned right and started at the mountain. I took R on my arms and lifted her up. She could stand on the edge a bit higher and reached for me. I grabbed her arm and she pulled me up. After that we repeated the procedure couple of times and ended up on the mountain where it was walkable. My friend rushed ahead and took a turn behind a rock. By the time I took the turn, I could see her watching at me from the peak of the mountain far in the distance. I could see nothing but sky behind her, and a game machine just in front of me.
I approached the machine and started playing. I was a racing game with old school pixelized graphics. I played for a very short time against myself and, apparently, I won. After that I just continued to follow R up the mountain.
When I reached the peak environment changed. I was not at the peak of the mountain at all - I was at ancient, Egyptian-like room. The room was light and cubism ruled the architecture. Walls were built out of massive sand bricks, windows had massive silk curtains, vases were standing at the corners and at the end of the room, on a two step platform, was a double bed with clean white sheets.
My friend was here also, all happy and relieved. I felt more stressed to be there than she did. I through myself to the window, acting all paranoid, and looked outside. The backyard was closed from all directions by a stone fence and there was a small stone table in the middle. On the table you could see bunch of incense sticks... smoking. I turned to my friend, pointed to the table and shout: "Look! It is still smoking! Someone was here a moment ago!" R smiled at me and said: "It was me who lit it." I was still convinced we were not safe and looked back through the window.
Gates opened and a white car with blue sides drove in. It looked very new and could not fit with all the Egyptian environment. R came and crouched beside me at the window. Her face looked scared. Car drove in by the outside table, turned around it and went slowly toward the gate. Windows were totally black and I could see nothing inside. Shortly it was gone. I turned to R and said: "Someone is looking for us. This is an Egyptian house.. It must have a secret escape route in case we are in danger!"
And so we started looking. My friend turned to the book-shell and started to move the books. I crouched on the floor and moved around like I was looking for my glasses. Success! I triggered one floor plate and floor started to collapse.
As it collapsed I noticed many light reflections on it. Floor plates turned to gold and from gold to nothing just front of my eyes. Maybe one meter under "the fake floor" was another floor, all dirty and dark. There was nothing except a clean, bright vase on the middle of the floor. I put my arm inside.
On my open palm were few construction nails and a smooth silver tube, no longer than a span between thumb and index finger. I instantly understood that it was an artifact of great importance. I have had started to examine it but I got interrupted.
A worrier, dressed in ancient Egyptian armor was coming at me with a scythe. I backed down and found myself defending with a metal pipe. Our weapons clashed, and R was nowhere to be seen.

At this point I woke up as I had my alarm set for 7:00, but I snoozed it and fell back asleep immediately.

I was looking at a small room, more like a balcony. The hole right wall was open and left one was windowless, but had a door. You could not see anything but gray sky outside and it was so windy and cold that the balcony must have been very high. There was a man, a woman and a lamb in the balcony.
The man was sitting back to wall, big and strong, dressed in heavy furs. His hair was dark and beard grew thick.
The woman was dressed in heavy furs alike and had blond hair. She sat besides him just next to the outside wall.
The lamb was.. Well, the lamb. On the furthest corner of a balcony.
I felt like I was in between the man and the woman, but I knew that physically I did not existed. I just passively watched the scene.
The door opened and a priest, dressed in middle age dark brown robes, came in. He knelt, took a bowl with water from his sleeve and started to pour water on the lamb. While water was running through his fingers, with low but ambient voice he said: "For those who were innocent and defenseless..."
I looked at the face of a man. He was sitting still, his eyes staring still to the ground. A sad, heavy smile came to his face after priest finished his pray. My sight ran down his arms.
Smooth, silver tube was dancing in between his fingers.

Woke up again at 8:00
