The first of these dreams is from last night, and the other is from a few weeks ago.

1. I'm alone, walking around my neighborhood. I don't know what makes me realize the dream, but all of a sudden I decide to do a reality check. I push my finger into my palm, and it goes straight through. To stabilize, I get down on my hands and knees and and feel the pavement. It feels so real that I decide to do another reality check. I confirm again that I'm dreaming. Satisfied, I decide to continue walking. The scenery starts to change from my neighborhood to a place I do not recognize. I see some people in the alley. They invite me into their place. The dream characters don't talk at all. This makes me uncomfortable, so I don't stay long. I run my hands over the wallpaper, and again I am amazed at how real it feels. It's amazing how real sensations are in dreams. After leaving the dream character's apartment, I realize that the dream scene has changed again. I'm walking along a promenade along the edge of the ocean. It's at a high elevation. I do a handstand on the railing, with no fear of falling.

2. I'm in a strange wooded area in a clearing. There are many TVs all around. Someone is telling me to put them on a specific channel. I keep messing it up. Next, I'm in a car with some friends. Their cat is up a tree, and it falls from a great height and dies. I decide to leave them alone for a while. I go for a walk, and soon find myself on a highway. There are many others walking in the same direction. We reach a check point of sorts, where everyone is showing ID. I show a woman mine, and she waves me through. She says that I will be shown my power animal. A bright light flashes and I see the silhouette of a hawk on my shoulder. Next I am in an elaborate strange hotel. I become lucid and decide to explore. There are strange semi-religious pieces of art and ornamentation everywhere. The building is made of marble and lit with dim warm light. A man in a high wheelchair with huge wheels rolls by. I have a false awakening. My boyfriend and I are laying in bed in the Dominican. I can feel the wind from the ocean blowing through the windows.
