      My Monkey and I

      One too funny to not share...

      In a NLD last night I found myself in a crowded pub in Ireland trying to properly set up their security cameras. It was difficult for a couple of reasons. Pub-goers kept bumping into my ladder, making me afraid I was going to fall, plus, my assistant who handed me tools and such was a little monkey who couldn't speak... although he did understand what I had to say.

      A pretty girl approaches and looks up at me. I think, "That pretty girl wants to talks to me." She says, "Nice monkey" and walks off.

      Things keep going downhill in that every time I re-check one of the cameras, the image is entirely different. After hours of this, I'm getting really hungry but I have no idea where I'm staying or how I might get some food. Makes me feel a little of that lost feeling. (dream sign)

      It occurred to me that I could be dreaming... but I quickly rejected the thought as an impossibility.

      I look at my monkey assistant and he nods knowingly at me, and I again think "maybe I am dreaming." I consider the idea briefly before telling my monkey he must be on drugs, because there's no way I'm dreaming. The monkey shakes his head, gives me a dirty look, and takes off his tool belt. He seems really disgusted with me.

      My attention goes to food again, and I reach for my wallet, only to find I'm not wearing any clothes. I take a moment to reflect... I'm naked in a crowded pub in Ireland, up a ladder, and I'm arguing with a monkey who seems to think it's all a dream. After a moment I think... "what if I really am dreaming? Finally the reality sinks in!

      I become lucid, but it's all so funny to me that I wake up, at home in bed. Luckily I was able to catch a DEILD and had enough REM left to work on the LD skills I had decided upon earlier.

      How dumb are we in dreams? For me at least, the answer is "dumber than a fire plug."

      Sheesh!

      I wish I had a monkey who would tell me when I'm dreaming.

      We all have the monkeys. For me, in one dream it was the annoying realtor lady who out of the blue said "I love you," another was seeing landscape [that shouldn't exist in its location] morph before me eyes, another one was encountering a person whom I knew "shouldn't be there."

      Funny.

      *Dreams are best suited for a dream journal though. Unless lucid, then in the lucid experiences, please.

      Well - this is a very special dream indeed - I believe it has it's justification here.

      I am very interested and intrigued by this - as was Sageous, who as far as I am aware is of the opinion, that the unconscious rather has a tendency to keep us off lucidity. And if I remember correctly - this was not the only dream, in which you explicitly got told, this would be a dream. That is more than what you have Fryingman.
      Is it eventually possible to have a dream-character - maybe one, which you "construct" in your LDs - and have it show up in your normal dreams and make you lucid?!
      Maybe one could tell that to a DC and it works?
      I've been commenting on this wonderful dream before - and I am still highly envious of your little monkey, Nailler!
      Maybe I could use my avatar cat - so I would have her in my sights in the day as well.
