i'm on my way to Cedar Falls a made up town and i was going there because of a book i had read. the book was actually The Catcher In The Rye but for some reason it was called Cedar Falls in the dream. i am almost there and it hasn't been a short trip, i've been driving for almost a week and sleeping in my car and i had been staying in one town just outside of Cedar Falls and i was eating in a diner and four other strangers were there but they were all on their way to Cedar Falls because that's a popular thing i guess. anyway then this person i know named Freddy came in to work and i was like, 'how are you working here, i just saw you before you left?' and he said, 'i'm just working here today.' then there was this house. i never had to get inside the house, but there were three times i had to get out of it. it was surrounded by water, like it was sitting in the middle of a pool and the front step was level with the water. the water never moved. there was algae everywhere and four awkwardly shaped floating ice chunks like in the antarctic and the only way to get out of the pool was to jump from chunk ti chunk. they were wobbly. so i was with these four people from the diner inside the house and they all want first and then i went, and this happened three times, and i went last and i always fell in. the water was warm. the people i was with acted like i should have been really upset for falling in the water but i really didn't mind. i did back flips and played around and i could breathe under water (which didn't strike me as odd) and when i got out i was dry (which again didn't strike me as odd) and then i woke up.

DELETED

On the third attempt of the night (after waking up after 2 other REM cycles and realizing I hadn't tried to do reality checks or notice dream signs) as they say "3rd time's the charm", I came to the realization that I was dreaming and in doing so had my 1st lucid dream that I had intended.

I can't remember much preceding the point when I started to lucid dream, but it had something to do with a tin roof that was covered in large mounds of pine needles. I jumped off the roof into the park (football oval). A girl through a large frisbee styled object towards me. It was a large doughnut made out of the same material that tents are (I forget the actual name). As it was coming towards me, I jumped to land on it, the same way you would hold onto a doughnut that you drag behind a boat in the water. For reasons I can't explain, I realized this was a dream. I then preceded to fly around the houses. The doughnut disappeared at some point.
I flew across the road, to what I realized was my neighbour's house (I had flown over my own house and hadn't noticed it.). I landed on the roof (the house was 2 story, even though in RL its only one), jumped down to beside the house (It became apparent that this was my neighbourhood but modified ). Then a girl noticed me. My neighbour and this girl, who just happened to be there, came looking to where I was. I took off across the road again, to another house, where my brother appeared wanting to ask me something. A shooed him away, so that I could hide from my neighbour and the girl who were looking for me. I rushed around to the back of the house and took off from the ground slowly spiraling up around the patio roof that i had gotten stuck under, and drifted over my backyard.
A man, who was supposed to be my next door neighbour, was in a US army uniform in my pool, acting as if it was normal to be there fully dresses bobbing up and down, his head submerging and bobbing out of the water (It only, now occurs to me that the man is an actor, though I do not remember his name or any movies he has been in) He questioned why I was flying, and I came up with the story that I was a ghost. Saying "why else would I be flying" feeling it necessary to explain without saying I was dreaming. I decided to continue this idea.
I flew across the road and spoke to some imagined neighbours, who invited me inside and we sat around discussing what it was like to be a ghost, to the 8 or so more people that joined us, who supposedly lived there too. I was convincing them that I was a ghost, that became solid only once in a while. Which explained why I wasn't floating through things and why I could hold things. I even managed to clap my hands properly. I kept discussing my made up situation until I woke up.
I had full control over my movements, but only some control over the surroundings.

The Shower Again (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

5th dream of the start of second week. This was a full dream.

I was on the bus coming home, and my friends M and T got off the bus too. They do not live near me, but they do go to my school. M lived somewhere, but for some reason, T lived in the house across the street. I thought it was normal. They went on my front lawn, and I got mad. I told them that this was my house. They did not know that. They got off the lawn, and went to T's house.

I put the key in my door, and unlocked it. Everything looked normal, so I assumed it was not a dream. I went into my room. I decided I had to take a shower. I took a shower, got out, and got changed. I went into my room. I heard someone else take a shower. The person got out, and then we talked. I heard someone else take a shower, too. The person got out, and we all talked.

I said I was going to take another shower, but both of the two said, "No!", so I did not.

I woke up.

I consider this a full dream, since it was about 30 minutes long.
