A very odd lucid dream.

[donzieja]

I was dreaming last night of going to the other side of my state (Illinois). I live in Chicago and had to go to Moline. Anyways, I got a helicopter lift there. After checking 5 wrong houses to find my friend, I ended up just walking into the 6th one and exploring. I could tell where people were throughout the house because I saw name-tags (like in the game minecraft) through the walls. I also noticed that each house had a similar layout, and each house had a fire going in a fireplace. Fire, in this particular dream, seemed different than real fire. It didn't have a source, and it just stayed in a pre-defined area. As I was exploring the house, I met my friend Brittany there. I thought nothing of this. I then met my friend Jessie there, and I knew something was up. I proceeded to attempt to push my finger through my hand, but then remembered that that doesn't work for me. So, I began pinching myself, and sure enough, I was lucid. For some reason, I couldn't do much of anything in this state. I think it was because I was far away from home in my dream. I don't know. But it was cool.

What are your thoughts on this experience?

Thanks,
