Was having a very odd dream that my step-dad was here. He was asleep on the couch.

He woke and, smiled and started to walk to the bathroom. All of a sudden he got this look on his face that was very worried. He looked at his hands and started trembling. (He's diabetic IRL). All of a sudden he starts yelling "cookie! cookie!" like he needed a cookie to get his blood sugar up.

I got him fig newtons. The same thing I had just fed my daughter before her nap (and mine, when this all happened).

So, I realize I'm dreaming cuz this was just too weird. I become lucid and start walking around the house.

I increase vividness this time easier by shoulting "More Vivid!" Also rubbed my hands together but that didn't seem to work the best.

Then, I enter a room that looks like a room from our house in childhood. I remember the TOTM and look for something to swing on. A stuffed octopus is on the ceiling, mounted so it's arms are drooping down. I grab an arm and pull. It almost comes off. I think I'll never be able to swing. And where is the body of water?

I grab an arm anyhow, run and swing straight for the window! It works and I crash through closing my eyes. I then imagined a large lake below me and started freefalling. I turned (as I was falling) facing the sky and saw the house up in the air that I had jumped out of... The freefalling feeling is quite amazing. Then splash! Back-flop into a lake.

I then walked around looking for my dream lover (lol). Couldn't find her anywhere. I met an old childhood friend and asked if it looked like I was dreaming. That DC said "No, you look pretty good... not like you're dreaming at all!" Then I asked her "Where is [name]....?" She hadn't seen her either. Darn.

There was more, it involved a defictive radar detector on display in the middle of a courtyard... but that was just weird stuff.. lol
