Musashi Revealed (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm at some party with my friends, I don't really know where I'm at. I'm with Justin, Tim, and Jeff. Crystal Castles is playing (the 2008 album) on the radio in the kitchen. Everyone is in the living room, hostilities are rising, I don't know anyone here. A fight breaks out, I think I see Justin in it and try to join the fray but Jeff holds me back. I keep yelling at him to let me go, but the fight is over soon enough.

Everyone is drinking crappy Corona, I lost my beer, I keep having these dizzy spells. My friends all go outside through the front door, I'm in the entrance from the front room to the living room where the big fight was.

A bunch of jock kids approach the narrow opening where I am standing, saying something like "Leave or we'll kick your ass" They are all crowded together and pressing on each other like a mosh pit. I grab the first guys shirt and pull him forward and everyone stumbles. Then I push him back and they stumble more. I say I'm leaving and hurry outside into the night. I see Tim down the stairs on the lawn, he tells me to hurry up.
I go down the stairs and realize i left my hoodie in there. I also start thinking about what Musashi would have done when he waws challenged by the room full of people. He would have said something like "I am a Samurai! I'm not going to just run away!" I decide to never turn down a fight again, even if it is with a whole room of people, after all Musashi fought the entire Yoshioka school and won. I must follow the same path in life.

I turn around and head back towards the house. I see only one big guy at the top of the stairs.
"I thought I told you to leave." He says threateningly.
"I forgot my sweater" I say without even bothering to look at him. I walk right past him into the house and find it, then leave.

Outside, it looks like my friends left me, maybe they thought I was staying when the saw me going back inside.
I get down the street a little and I can see them. They are renting a building for the rest of the night, an old man is unlocking the doors.
