dream a little dream of me

I had a dream this morning that I went over to Nate’s and he was cooking dinner. I looked over his shoulder and saw that he was sauteeing something, and I think it was squash. Then the coolest thing happened: I realized I was dreaming. Of course, as soon as I became lucid, I lost it and the dream promptly changed into a weird sci-fi movie/video game replete with alien invasions (the head alien was played by Dean Stockwell, nonetheless), nuclear bombs and Tom Cruise. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it was fun to come up with a plan to destroy the aliens, especially when it turned out that one of the bombs wasn’t going to remotely detonate, so Tom Cruise had to stay behind to press the button. There was an almost Prince of Persia-like puzzle element to the thing where I had to determine the exact order the bombs needed to go off in for maximum effect. And then before I woke up, there was a glass elevator/escape pod scene which was thrilling (almost certainly inspired by the end credits to Flight of the Navigator). But what I really wanted was to have a lucid dream.

Oh well. I got a little bit closer, at least. Maybe next time I can hold on to the lucidity a little longer.
