lucid

I am showering in a bathroom I don't recognize when I hear someone enter the room. I peek around the curtain and see a friend of my dad's that I've known my whole life. He notifies me that he is getting into the shower. I tell him he needs to leave. He is getting undressed and steps into the shower. I jump out and try to get away. I turn around to look at him and his eyes have turned black. He opens his mouth and a large, snake-like tongue reaches toward me. Suddenly I realize this is a dream and want to end it. I find myself laying in bed. I rub my eyes and in my left eye I see a diamond pattern with shapes within each diamond. I focus on the pattern and it seems expand all around me. Suddenly I feel myself flung downward through my bed and I am flying. I fly to a bar in another country. It is an artsy place with teal walls and ornate decor. It has a small and intimate feel to it. People are speaking a language I don't recognize. I am drawn to a particular woman with short black hair and bangs. I try to remember the sound of the words she is saying, but as I wake up they fade away.

I woke up early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep right away. As I was laying in bed I started to get the sensations that my body was falling to sleep (pressure, vibration) and then had a strange sensation that something was emerging from my left arm. I looked down at it and saw a tiny head growing out of it. It was grotesque and started whispering strange words (somehow directly into my right ear). It was very creepy, but I felt strangely calm and told it to leave. It didn't leave, but I decided to ignore it and focus on the spinning sensation that I was having. I allowed myself to surrender to the disorienting feeling and soon found myself flying down towards a building that seemed to be a community/retreat center. A woman saw me flying over her head. I circled around the room a few times and then went into the basement to explore. I discovered that I could put my fingers through the wall and started trying to put my hands through various types of surfaces. Strangly, hollow metal tubing felt dense and solid on the inside and brick felt viscous. I pulled my hand out of the brick wall and it was covered with goo.
I then suddenly found myself back in my bed and very aware of my body. I began to feel strong vibrations and heard a high-pitched clanking vibration and was pulled downward through space. All around me I saw vibrant, swirling, floral-like patterns. My husband stirred next to me in bed, which brought my awareness back to my body and stopped the downward motion, but the moving patterns continued to grow and swirl around me for several more minutes.
