lucid

Dreamt about a person whose name is one used for both guys and girls. I don't know how he was in my hotel room, but he was and we talked as if we'd known eachother for a long time. The hotel had the left window face to the streetfront where there were lots of clocks and weather screens, the right window (same wall) faced over the pool room. Mom and dad's room was next door to mine, so through that window you could also see their balcony. I knew I was dreaming the whole time. The entire dream was very vivid.

Riley! That was the name! Riley looked like that guy from Instagram tiktok. (Just looked it up, Noen Eubanks.) Red hair, tired eyes.

The next day, left hotel and looked around the building. Very big building. Eventually went outside, saw a playground and sat around there. Then to the forward-right, across the road, was a large castle/university like building. Crossed the gardens, went inside and wandered around. Went down hall's like D's school, I somehow knew where the gymnasium would be and turned down some teachers only corridors. I talked to the teachers as I went by, making it sound like I was supposed to be there. Got to gym, and it was the same room as [my church] sanctuary, just with gigantic grey-brown curtains blocking all the walls and 3-40 feet in between wall and curtain. There wasn't a stage. There was a glass plant growing/ plant selling/ concession stand thing in the middle of the room. To the left were some people, around where the lighting balcony is irl. I skirted around the right edge and got to the place where the stage wasn't, instead there were blue closed/collapsed crowd stands. We were there and talking a bit, then another guy who looks a ton like Riley but with blue hair comes up and scolds us, so I follow Riley out the other entrance (the one that leads to the offices irl). We decide to just walk around, and we came across the same playground on the way back. It was (and to the best I could tell, everything else was) in the same place as they had been on our way there. I walked towards the playground while Riley lagged behind. I turn to check how he's doing, and he's a girl with red hair up in a ponytail, tired eyes and shadowy eyeshadow. She told me to do a pose, and I did, and I took her picture too, with a tiny hope it would somehow be on my phone irl. I got the sense that she was much older (like centuries) than she looked.

Later, we got to a bus stop and I was just taking in the scenery, then Riley rode up to me on a bike and said see you tomorrow. I was very sad about this, because I knew I wouldn't, as I was dreaming. I considered just acting like I did belong to their world, but I decided to say it, that I was dreaming and wouldn't see her tomorrow. I was teary, and felt very very sad about it. Riley had an understanding and compassionate look, and a white-haired grandma passerby noted to her something about "I feel so badly for the first lifers, this must be so difficult for them". For the moment she was talking, they were both very old, white haired ladies. I don't know how they kept changing in front of me without my noticing the change, but Riley was back to a red haired girl. She apologetically said she really had to go, and kissed me before biking off. The dream went black, so I got up to write it down. I forgot Riley's name, but remembered it was a unisex name, when I recalled it I kept repeating it over and over in order to remember it. I wrote everything down, including things I forgot and therefore didn't write here. It morphed into a different dream which I don't remember, and then I woke up for real and wrote this down.

I was in a non-lucid wandering the halls of a giant mansion (lower levels seemed to be underground [i.e. packed clay walls] and floorplan like ant's nest). I realized I was dreaming. Went looking for a room with a window, instead found a room with a blue bed (it was basically Stephen's room, but in the underground clay ant style). Lay down, closed my eyes and warped to a room with an open blinded window (like the Yaes'), (in a real building, either the upstairs levels, or a different building). It was around 15:00. Flew down/out of the window and landed on the ground. (I was on the second or third story. There were two stories above me) The building I had been in was the hotel/restaurant we took the bike trip pictures at, but the back, rather than the front. I saw Stephen, caught up with him, told him I could fly He said, "Nice!" After asking him to fly, he told me he hadn't learned to fly with me yet, so he needed help. I held onto his hand and we tried to levitate at the same time. We/he were too heavy. Almost woke up. I decided I should get on his back and have him fly. Success! As we flew up, it became evening/night. The lights from the houses were really pretty, and all different colors. I got off Stephen's back and flew beside/in front of him. We were flying over the Lakedale lake (the hotel I came out of was positioned around where the girls' tents were). The island at Lakedale became the little island near the rope swing. The land beyond it was rocky, the water was cold and dark, some ice, and snow on the land and the ice. I saw Selah while flying, flew lower, caught her hand and we kept flying. (We talked for a bit, but I don't remember what we said. Some things about the bike trip and about the scenery) We flew above the old castle they hiked to (on the bike trip), all covered in snow. I think I was planning to drop Selah on the castle turret, Aaand dream faded.

I was in the family room of my (real-life) house with a stout, strong man with an orange beard (like Gimley from LOTR, but a little taller than me) and another 18 yr. or-so blond anime boy (who I felt was named Louis, but I didn't ask).
I knew they were my friends/companions. I somehow got my in-dream eyes open (using a method I read the day before). I was on the floor (due to method) my brothers in front of me playing cars. It looked to be about 14 hours. I got up, took a frisbee and pretended it was a circular tablet and clicked on it as if it was. I clicked on the spot where I wanted "fly app" to be. To use fly app, you turn it over (screen touching your head) and think "go" to fly straight up. I pushed (or broke) out of the glass of the sliding door, got outside. My backyard was a meadow/prairie type, 4 times its real size. It was bright outside, blue sky with clouds and glimpses of planets through the clouds. I do a senses test (which makes me very happy). I try to teleport to a hill (cut out of a mountain) in sight that had snow-covered prarie grass on it. We succesfully teleport! Apparently someone is chasing us (dog-aliens who walk on two legs. Have rayguns)(Dream turns to semi-lucid) We take flight into space by using my tablet on my head, Gimli-guy hugging my waist, "Louis" holding onto my knees. (Flying is quite hard, considering the speed and the fact that I can't see where I'm going plus some complications from my buddies' arguing) We can breathe in space. We look for a safe/suitable planet (apparently there were big aliens on all the big planets). We pick out a small planet of the cluster of 15? Planets around us, Fly towards it, turns out to be Earth. We fly back, land on the moon. Which is like a half-sphere with a map on the top (where we landed) apparently most of it was claimed by a vicious alien colony, so we flew away. Picked a purple planet next. To land, had to close eyes and imagine being on it. (Since the outside I landed on was like a hard, giant [but not as big as the real planet] sphere that could not be entered without teleportation)

Eyes open in a room like my family room, remodeled with a stage, screens, and as a larger room. My sister was with me, there were 7? teens a few years older than me asking us to join their practice for God's Rods (a club at our church). We agreed. My sister did horribly (I had the feeling two of the boys liked her). I nailed it. My friends (Gimli-guy and Louis) were in the adjoining kitchen (preparing snacks?)

A while later, I look out the glass sliding door window and see the dog-aliens, but just normal dogs on four feet.

I forgot the rest, but know there wasn't much more.
