non-lucid

I dreamt that I was at my grandmothers house last night.
-It's an empty house since they died and it is right on a lake. Out back is a rusty old non-working old refrigerator that has
been there ever since I can remember. Every summer, as kids, we would run to the thing and open it to check it for frogs
because, for some reason, they loved it and would live inside it. For years now, though, it has been empty of frogs.-
In my dream, I was walking around the house. It was very sunny out and I remember the light shimmering off the water.
I walked straight to the refrigerator and saw that a cool mist was rising off of it. I walked up to it and saw.... what do you know..
FROGS! But they were frozen to the thing it was so cold! One frog I remember was peculiarly black.

-I went to my grandmothers house today and saw a tree frog for the first time in a few years. It was black.-

This is my first post. I usually have nightmares. It's what got me involved with Lucid Dreaming in the first place. I'm glad to say my first post won't be anything I'd qualify as a bad nightmare.

I'm walking on a rocky beach, under an over cast sky. It could rain at any moment, that's the first thought I have. Then I notice I'm not alone. I'm walking next to Ryan, and I can't understand a single word he's saying, but he continues to talk. The water next to us is dark. I wouldn't swim in it even if it were a 100 degrees. Across from the water is a dense and green forest.

Then noises of construction begin to fade in from my opposite side. I look over and realize there are houses all along the beach we are walking on. They are enormous to the point that I can not see the backs of them and they are all made of wood. But it is as if the town they lived in no longer has a government. The houses are completely worn down. The people living in them, or so I assume that is who they are, are working with hammer and nail to repair them. Me and Ryan continue walking.
(I would have thought at least by this point I would have noticed a dream sign or forced myself to realize this was a dream but I did not and I find that very frustrating.)

Finally, we end up in an opening with a building set further back. It is a bar, and protruding out of it, is a very large slide with two ladders on each side. Ryan gets onto the slide and slides down. He turns to me and tells me to go next. Suddenly, the slide is much larger and I don't want to. I eventually do however, and when I reach the top I wake up. DREAM END.

I have been trying for sometime to realize I am in a dream. I hope something will happen soon.
