Title: Praying Respects to Guan Yin during lucid and other happenings.

Had this dream recently. Briefly:

I was in some place....two ghosts (can't tell if male or female) were in my dream staring at me from a distance.....difficult to describe......both of them looked similar ......yellowish skin.....powdery skin.....looks like got some kind of talisman pasted on them......looked quite eerie....

anyway....I continued walking.....came across another ghost...male.....he looks Tamil or Indian.......face covered with white powder, or looks like it.....

I walked on.....

then for some reason or another, I became lucid (that is, I realized that I was dreaming)......

And there was a sort of guide near me......I thought for a moment of what do now and I asked the guide of there is a Guan Yin temple or shrine nearby so that I can pay my respects......he said "yes, just over there"....

And I looked ahead and saw a shrine of some sort.....fungi green in colour or something.....

I went over, looked at the statue, and it didn't resemble anything like Guan Yin........anyway, I thought to myself, it doesn't matter, I'll pay my respects anyway.....

So I bowed down to the statue about 3 times reciting my Guan Yin mantra ("Namo Guan Yin Pu Sa")......

Then I got up, and wondered what to do next.....

Then I tried getting 4D numbers by pulling a piece of paper out of my pocket......didn't work.......but I noticed I had dropped a piece of grey paper of something.....slip of paper...I picked it up....and it turned into a notebook I think.....I opened it, saw some numbers......but it was difficult to remember those numbers in a dream....so I tried a number of times until I thought I could remember at least 1 set of 4 numbers.

I closed the book, then asked my guide (which looked like a cross between a character my girlfriend drew ---- I'm going to break up with my girlfriend in the waking world by the way-------- and a dream or fake Out of Body experience character I seen and spoken to before): "How is it things in the dream world are so unstable? Things disappear and appear again?"

He said something I couldn't quite understand, but something to the effect of "There's someone behind the scenes writing the script"

I doubted that was true, so I argued with him, asking him to explain I think. I don't quite remember his explanation and I think I couldn't quite understand it anyway.....then I woke up.
