Another dream

Last night I had another strange dream about staying in a hotel, a nice looking hotel with lots of wood paneling, a classy looking place. And I'm in bed and I feel something at my feet and I look down and there is this huge grasshopper on my bed, it's like a foot and a half across just sitting there, and I hit it with a shoe and I killed it. And now there's this big yellow stain on on the bed.

I'm still sitting there and I turn to my right and looked down and I see two huge lizards, like those komono dragons, huge things as big as dogs, sitting on the floor and flicking their tongues and looking back up at me. I started yelling, then I looked over and saw black things, maybe frogs or bugs crawling up all over on the mirror, and I'm starting to freak out a bit, but the first thing I thought of was that man am I going to make the hotel pay for this, I'm going to make them pay by giving me a better room. Maybe the Presidential suite.

A guy knocks on the door and he's laughing, thinking I'm just a nut screaming about a little bug, but then he sees all the things and starts hauling them out of the room. It's only now that this guy is here to catch the these things did I think I should take pictures of everything and sue them, but now it's too late.

I'm dreaming.....

Okay, I had this dream about seeing all these frogs climbing up a wall. A guy shows us these are special frogs, if you rub them gently they make this low rumbliy sound. But if you annoy them they roll up and turn into seashells! But if you slowly spread them out they start to look like flat pancakes; if you stop you can watch them as they try pull up back into themselves, trying to form back into the seashell again

Unless some unruly kid abuses them (because he knows no better) and rubs them against the wall and little crumblily bits of the pancake frogs are lying all over the place, sort of pulsating, and the kid kills them, and the guy starts wailing about the special frogs being all dead, and then all you have are pancake looking dead frog things.

Perchance to Dream

I had this dream about being in a mall somewhere. It was crowded, there were lots of noisy people walking around. I went over to the railing and looked down over it, and it was like I was looking through this huge hole. And way down below, in the middle of this big field about 1000 feet down, with all these tiny people walking all around it, was the starship Enterprise from Star Trek! It was right there! I remember thinking that this is so cool, that I had no idea that that thing was actually REAL! But what is it doing down there on display in the mall?

I don't remember much else.

I've read about Lucid Dreaming, where you 'wake up' in your dream, while you're still dreaming, and you realize that you actually are dreaming and can even start to take control of your dream. It's almost happened to me, but not quite yet. I've had several times where I'm dreaming, and I know that something is not right about what's going on. I've come so close so many times, close to realizing that "I am dreaming," that what is happening to me is a dream, but just it hasn't clicked yet.

So you'd think, something like the Enterprise parked in a big shopping mall in a hole, and I don't realize something funny is going on?

I always swore that if I were allowed to get a tattoo, I would get Mr Spock, or maybe a big one of the starship Enterprise flying through the stars. But the idea of how would they tattoo all that blackness of outer space on you...ouch.
