=watching play, checking back room, climb stairs, fly through ceiling, stop biting thing, fly to city, get involved protecting hurt person, correctly guess person in car with, drive on wrong roads to park with water, walk/fly over copper, fly into forest avoiding enemies, explain belief that just dream, help friend who thinks his family died (false memories), walk with him downstairs

We arrive at a large room in the museum, where a play seems about to start. I realize it's a dream. (actually, I think this was an increase in lucidity from earlier segments of lucidity, but I no longer remember the earlier so can't know for sure)

I decide to watch the play anyway, but do so while floating 15 feet feet in the air. I know the people are going to act differently if I do that, so I go around a corner, where there's a huge hallway that's heavily shadowed further down. I turn around, fly up 15 fee5 (really high ceilings!), and prepare to watch the show. Only, I can't; the man running it did a shout out to me, telling me to get down and stop trying to get attention or something. I sigh, and decide it's not worth fighting, so go to do something else.

I explore a couple other areas of the large room, behind curtains and stuff segmenting the areas, and see a health unit as well as possibly a cafeteria. I decide this doesn't interest me, and look for a way to get outside. I see stairs, and head for them.

I go up the first flight of stairs, but notice that it then extends into an annoying labarynth of cave-like passageways. I proverbially roll my eyes, and decide to try a dream control to rectify this situation. I brace myself, and fly straight through the ceiling.

Now interestingly, it works--I get through the ceiling, however now I'm apparently tunneling up through solid ground. I just keep my focus (I can feel the ground I'm pushing through some), and eventually push out onto a brightly colored plain.

I recognize it as a location I've been to in a previous dream, which I think was also lucid (I could go back and check my journal, but am too lazy). Anyway, I look around, but while flying over a section of water, an annoying jumping clam thing starts biting me. And it hurt a little--just enough to be annoying and force a response. It takes a few tries, but I end up striking it down, and removing it's biting equipment (by this point it'd turned more into an ant-like creature with large jaws). I accidentally knock it into the water, and feel bad for it, and fish it out. (I don't like killing things even in dreams)

I don't remember for sure how I left the scene, but I think I just flew off in a direction till I came to a city.

Now in the city, it's late evening or very early morning, and I somehow get entangled in a situation where someone is injured and needs to be taken to the hospital. I jump in the driver's seat, and get going, as an enemy group is shortly coming. The car's kind of small, but I manage to fit.

I drive forward for a while, but realize I have no idea where I'm going, and that it doesn't make sense to since it's a dream. I feel the sense that someone else is in the car, and ask who's there. An man in his forties or so answers, and says he's an ally. Anyway, I ask him to help direct me to the destination, but we end up failing anyway, going down a ramp that ends in a remote park near the water.

We get out, and walk along a passageway over the water for a while, I believe conversing. At some point, we decide to head back, except our path is obstructed and half broken (old metal planes, with many fallen into the water, and the rest badly rusted and corroded). We eventually make it back, passing my dad and brother along the way (this caused strong feelings of having seen them just earlier in the dream, lucidly, which is part of why I think there was an earlier lucid section)

Anyway, this is getting long, so I'll try to wrap up. We get the sense that the enemy is approaching, so quickly head to the forest and fly up. I'm slow in horizontal movement at first, but use my hands as "engines" behind me, and start moving at a good speed. The enemy catches up (arriving in a bus), so we begin battling while continuing to fly forward. At first I have no weapons, but think back to times I've used my hands to create spheres of energy, and propel those toward the enemies. Some taunting between groups occurred, and I joined in just for a change of pace.

[Hazy section where we fight more, and a dc tries to make me concerned that if I die, I die for real, but I accept none of it. It does still make the fight seel more serious, however.)

Long story short, my ally gets defeated, and the scene changes as I go to help him. (he has the personality of one of my dad's close friends at this point, so I feel more connected than with random dcs)

Now awakening from a coma (or equivalent), he expresses sorrow, saying his family had all aged without him and left him alone. I don't like this turn of events, so tell him those are fake memories, and his family is fine. This cheers him up greatly, and allows him to remember our "promise" that when one of us save the other, the other has to do something in return. I think about what this should be as we head relaxedly downstairs, during which time the dream fades to a 30 second or so false-awakening, while I begin recollection.
