I was at some weekend cookout event. There were several of us and we were camping out. Robin Wright was there, apparently I knew her in the dream. A few of us stayed up all night the first night and then come morning I realized that I all the fun stuff would be happening later in the evening, so I should get some sleep in order to be awake later. I laid down to sleep in my bed (even though we were camping), some other guy was sleeping in the bed too and started to snuggle with me. I felt a bit awkward about this because I didn't really know who it was.
Next scene. I'm at church... The church I used to go to years ago IRL. I walk in and sit down, it's a much smaller congregation then what they really are today. I see the pastor and his wife and they are sitting up front. The pastor's wife, Renee, starts speaking. He interjects and she acts like she doesn't even hear him and keeps right on talking. I got the impression she was mad at him and letting him know it by ignoring him. Of course she never would have done this IRL in front of the congregation.
I decide I want to leave so I head for the door. I see the pastor out in the parking lot, I didn't want him to see me leave so I went into the bathroom. It's a bathroom with about 3 stalls and the one at the end is available. I enter and suddenly a kid from the stall next to me crawls into my stall. Then several other are crawling around between stalls as well. One of them recognizes me and says my name. I felt a bit clostraphobic and just wanted to get out.
I finally leave the bathroom and walk outside. The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day. I see the "service" is finally over. People are leaving the building. As I walk around the corner I see my old friend Shawn Cook. We meet up and hug, talk for a minute and then start walking towards his car. He walks over to this SWEET beight Rolls Royce limo with doors that open from the middle, one opening towards the front the other opening towards teh back. The car is bouncing a bit, hydrolics.
I start looking for my car and then I realize I'm standing in a spot of the "parking lot" where there are stairs and I look and see that I'm blocking people from going down the stairs. I look up and see a guy named Ranch who I also used to attend church with IRL. He is just looking straight ahead, not even acknowledging my presense, waiting for me to move. I move one, unaffected by his rudeness and continue to look for my car. I finally see it but it looks a bit funny. It looks like my car but something is off. I then look at the lisence plates and I see 6 letters, then they change and then they keep changing and changing right in front of me. That's all it took to become lucid. I immediately realized it was a dream and I stayed calm. The scene didn't change, usually it does, and I was excited. Everything was just about as vivid as it was before I became lucid but with the added awareness.
I decide to float rather then walk, so I jump up and slowly float around the area checking things out. I run into someone that says "28, 19" and then something with the reference to the London Bridge, this seems significant to me so i repeat over and over 28 19 in my dream to commit it to memory so I won't forget when I wake up. Guess it worked. Although this takes on a life of its own as I continue to ponder what it means throughout the rest of the dream.
Still somewhat lucid, I walk down t his outside thruway and then enter what looks like a 4th grade class. I'm now a 10 year old boy (although I feel as if I am really myself but have become this boy in order to enter the class). I go into the class and lose lucidity for a moment. This black kid, who is taller than me, tries to pick on me, so I punch him. He seems shocked and a bit amazed, then I regain lucidity and I feel bad for hitting him. I then tell him that he needs to improve his fighting skills and that i would teach him some defensive moves after class. He seems interested and sits down.
The teacher is busy trying to work the tv/cable so we could watch some western movies. Finally she gets it working and hands the remote to a student. I remember there being 3 channels to choose from and I was interested for a moment but then saw another kid (who looked like he was in his 20's) but to the teacher he must have also looked like a 4th grader, or that was how it seemed. Like he was "undercover" as someone else, like I was, but I could see his real self. I got the feeling he was from New York and I went up and talked to him asking him if he remembered the time he and I fought. He didn't seem to recall, but within the dream I had a distinct memory of fighting this kid at some other time.
Then I woke up!
Additional Comments:
The church portion of the dream seems to be recurring. I dream about my old church often. I ended up leaving the church because my beliefs changed. it was somewhat traumatic for me because I did feel as if many members of the church were like family, but once I left so did their friendships. Of course I know the reason for that, but it still had an effect on me, and obviously still does.
