Lucid

I was having a perfectly normal dream that my siblings and I had been relocated to the city, a sort of upgraded slum part of the city where people lived in kitschy little rooms or homes perched along art nouveau balconies. A block away were lots of shops and stores, and it was pretty much okay except for the looming threat of gangs who might come to exact some sort of toll on us.

The ladies here were stereotypical Jewish moms, drinking coffee, talking about their sons and one had a saguaro cactus. I looked at it and told her it was probably 300 years old since it had arms already. My siblings were wandering up and down through these balconies and homes and I realized I had lost them all!  I began madly looking for them and ended up on a bleak cloverleaf interchange with no buildings in sight.

Suddenly I knew I was dreaming! I think this is a first for me because I decided to play with that. I saw a train engine coming down the highway and I decided not to move because if I was dreaming it wouldn't hurt me. At the last minute I panicked though and stepped aside, but I noticed the train engine swerved in a blur to the other way to avoid me!

Somehow this made me brave and I thought, I can fly or swim if this is a dream. I just have to believe. There were huge jagged rocks on both sides of the highway, but I threw myself on my back (because in real life I am a better floater than swimmer) and using my arms propelled myself out over the rocks towards home. It was hard to maintain my belief that I could do this and several times I almost crashed on those pointy rocks!

After I woke up this morning I found out Bestest had been negotiating some really sharp rocks in order to go swimming!

What an interesting experience.
