Most recent dream (mixed lucid and non-lucid):

Some friends and I walk through different, unfamiliar areas of our neighborhood and solely by doing that, we end up in the very distant future (common dream theme for me, especially lucid ones). At first, we need to climb over hills of dark sand (reminding me of those near industrial areas I've been to), and it is fun climbing and sliding down, although there are also climbs on rocky mountains and cliffs impossibly high from ground level (but there is no fear). In this future we find that only a few people are left on the entire planet, and most of them are older cleaning ladies and dock hands (who only live on smaller islands or near the sea) who are slowly remaking and "fixing" the world that was destroyed. We are near the ocean and almost all (humpback) whales are sick and too close to shore. It is so bad, you can see old laundry suds and chemical sludge spray from them and tons of junk in the water. After awhile, a very common dream theme of mine takes over. I move my hand in line with old, collapsed buildings and they become new; the chipped paint becomes a fresh, but dry coat. Splintered, rotting wood rejoins as fresh timber. A fallen bridge rebuilds itself so that we are able to walk to different cities to fix things up quicker. The old boards actually come up from the polluted ocean to remake the bridge; and nails arise, lose their rust like dust falling off, several in perfect line hitting the wood like bullets and remaking the bridge perfectly (even better than it ever was), moving toward land in each direction at the same time. The whales will also heal after awhile. Prior to this was the theme of a very ancient and extremely valuable, transparent oval stone with a darker stone visible inside. The darker stone inside, over time, slowly becomes a multi-coloured "alien" baby (of mostly dark brown and orange tones), the bright, wise eyes appearing first (after the hint of eyelids which then open), then the rest (but in steps); this creature will also give great power to heal the world as well as help my friends (and family) and I (both in health and in wealth). Still more; there is an area near a long-abandoned park with bizarre, ancient trees (that serve as little houses in some cases) and "impossible" but natural structures that seem not remotely of this world, yet (in the dream) I have a clear memory of my friends and I having played there often as children, so that it actually feels nostalgic!
