Fish Shopping (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

So in last night's dream, I was going fish shopping (which I did yesterday to help fill out my fish tanks) and Drew and a bunch of male marines were at the mall, too. (Our petstore isn't part of any mall.) But I remember parking out by a nearby StarBucks, talking with Cha for a little while, about what, I don't remember, and then I remember being back at my house, watching my female guppies give birth.

While I was tending to my girl guppies (they are a live birth fish, by the way) I watched them shrink in size to the same size as the fry and they ended up going the way of food like the the other fry. At one point, I stood up, stuck my hand (and fish net) through the front of the glass aquarium and pulled it out. The tank splashed sideways a little and I said aloud "Wait a minute. Gravity doesn't go that way" as I pointed towards the tank, against the wall. "I must be dreaming."

I did a reality check and, sure enough, I was dreaming. I wouldn't be for very long, though. I turned to my left and said "I want to see my dream guardian." I forgot to turn away or cover my eyes, though. I said again, "I said I want to see my dream guardian!" I knew that I was doing something wrong but I couldn't figure out what. I looked around me and realized that, except for my fish tank and the window I was watching, the room was a black void. So I looked down at my feet briefly, looked up at the tank and tried the spinning technique to end up in a new place. Instead, I was in a new black void and I didn't know what to do next. I stood there for a moment, did another reality check and 1, I wasn't awake like I initially thought I was, just with my eyes closed and 2, I was sort of lost. I rubbed my hands together thinking that the dream wasn't stable (never considering that I just spun myself into a black void and I needed to build it up) and I saw a green figure in the black fog, almost like a cartoon, and I woke up.
