Pets, Aliens and the Sea Front
Semi-Lucid Dream (L1)In my dream I'm living in a small ground floor flat with Yu Lee. There are some large bi-folding doors that open up onto a narrow walkway in front of the flat, and we are watching people walking past.
Someone walks past the flat with a dog which has been dressed to look like an old lady, and me and Yu Lee start talking about how ridiculous it is that people are dressing their animals up to look like people. Shortly after that ET walks past so Yu Lee opens the door and starts talking to him (or her, whatever it is!).
ET is dressed in a head scarf and a colourful dress for some reason. Yu Lee tries to persuade him to come in but he says "I'm not allowed to go inside" and walks off quickly.
The next thing I remember is that Yu Lee wants to go into the city centre so we leave the house and start walking towards town.
We're walking down the Milton Road and I'm looking around. All of the houses on the right hand side of the road are pretty much the same as in real life, but the left hand side of the road is a sea front area with a tiled pavement and a thick, low, concrete wall with the beach behind it. People are sitting on the concrete wall and trying to sell things to passers by.
At one point I notice someone is in a body bag, laying on the wall, and a man is sitting next to him with some small statues of saints, trying to convince passers by that he can perform a miracle and bring his friend back to life. There are other people trying to con people out of their money too.
At this point I think to myself "Isn't it strange that it's so touristy this far from the city centre," as if that was the only thing that was strange about this scenario! All of a sudden it dawns on me that this isn't real and I must be dreaming!
I look around at the sky and the clouds and notice how realistic they look. I leap into the air and rise high above the ground, but the excitement is too much and I immediately wake up.
