lucid dream at an information center

[sashamasha]

A few nights ago, I kept waking up and had a series of very vivid dreams.  A few dreams before the one below, I dreamt that i was making a phone call from a payphone outside next to a road, and as I'm talking away happily (I don't know to who), I notice that suddenly I am standing in a lake or pond with lillypads and ducks, as if the road and the pond somehow got mixed up. I said to the person on the phone that "I guess this is what happens when the 2 worlds meet."

So then a few dreams later, there was this funny lucid dream, where i was with my brother at some kind of huge information center that looked a lot like a cross between an airport, a conference center, an executive motel if there were such a thing, and penn station.  We were seated in front of a huge board of information and electronic doo dads and just everything.  Seats sort of floated up so you move to be right next to whatever you need to be next to.  We were using it as a sort of chat progam to contact spirits.  We tried a couple different links but got bad or weird connections, then we got a real strong connection from a woman I know I have seen in my dreams before.  She tends to show up when I need help learning something or doing something difficult.  She always has brown curly hair, and she's a mother or is matronly in some way.  She is a very very happy person.  Anyway in this dream, I was typing to her and my brother was sort looking over my shoulder most times, but often being distracted by other things.  I was lucid and asking her all the questions I have about what it's like over there, and she answered them all.  Then at one point she stopped typing and said "We'll I'll just talk to you, this is silly."  So I would type and she would answer in her voice.  It was a really strange dream, I can't explain it well.
