[lucid assignment: let the dream direct itself, and just go along with the plot as an extra would on a movie set. Be acutely aware of opportunities to interact with the dream characters as they arise, and in this way change the mix of the dream.]
I'm living with my mother and father in a dream, but I suddenly recall that my mother is actually dead and that I live by myself now. I seem particularly vulnerable to the emotion of sadness, and I realize how solitary of a life I lead. I feel so lonely I start crying, thinking about how at work in real life the people I was friends with have distanced themselves from me, not even giving a reason why they did so.
I wake up abruptly and immediately the sadness is gone. But I realize that there is a part of me, perhaps not accessible during my waking hours, that is feeling the pain of being alone very intently ... and is perhaps affecting me subconsciously.
I think it's time to get a new job. You have to have at least a FEW friends among your coworkers!

A locker pulls out of a wall, revealing a cave and an underground pool.
I wake up.

I'm watching a man work out on a Nautilus machine in a gym. But I'm lucid, and watch as the sound of a jackhammer creates a special effect of first making the weightlifter shake back and forth in the air, and then the Nautilus machine ... and, as each does so, they change to pastel, colorized versions of themselves. I'm amazed that my dream is doing this for me and indeed it seems to be controlled by my thoughts. I make it go on for a while.

I'm watching a movie where a spaceship is disintegrating into space because of some space-time anomaly (precognitive: later on in the day I read this Star Trek comic in Wired Magazine).
The director has marked what various parts of the disintegrating hall used to contain with written text, locations where things once were. Oddly, right as the movie and the dream end ... my vcr starts up in real life and I wake up.

I'm in a very lucid dream in which I feel like I'm beginning to master dream manipulation (there were a number of things I did, but the following is the only one I now remember). After going in and out of dreaming for a while, I find myself manipulating with my thoughts the image on a video screen. I'm pleased that I'm getting to the point where I seem to be able to render them pretty well.
One is called "destruction from outer space." Red meteors are crashing into a city.
I wake up.

Something about the Boston Marathon and a building near the route. There's some kind of glass enclosure that they are putting up for the marathon runners. I was planning on running it (in my DREAMS ONLY!!), but now it turns out I have to work (the marathon IS actually tomorrow, and I attempted to run it three times more than 20 years ago, but only completed it one of those times. I am NOT running it ever again!).
(shift) I'm at the B_______'s farm up in Vermont. J____ B____ is playing some kind of prank on us (most details of this dream were forgotten, but I'm certain this is from a somewhat traumatic childhood experience, when I was about five -- at this family's real life farm, J___ told me to touch the electric fence and then he turned it on. I was paralyzed and couldn't let go of it until he shut it off -- probably for about a whole minute).
I wake up.
