There is a cat attacking my hand.
I take note of the sensation. I realize I am dreaming. I begin to run through the streets. I come to a beach. The buildings of downtown Phoenix are all around this beach. I fly along this beach. The waves pick up and the weather becomes stormy. I land somewhere. (content omitted)...

I begin to think about how long I have been dreaming and how I have maintained lucidity.

I become aware of a change in my character. I am now a cocaine addict!

I am walking barefoot in downtown Phoenix. I feel pain in my right foot. I look at the foot. There are many things embedded in my foot. I still know I am dreaming and I rationalize that removing these things from my foot will be painless.

I begin by picking out a large shard of glass sticking out of my foot. I was wrong! There was pain. There was something odd about the pain though. I could sense it was not coming from my "real" foot. A similar type of pain was felt when the cat was biting and scratching my hand.

I also removed little zipper baggies (Zipper baggies embedded in my foot as if they were glass or thorns.). like I use to see when my step father use to sell drugs. There was also a larger baggie filled with an odd substance. It looked like it use to be liquid but was now solid. It was a reddish amber color.

At about three A.M. J______ got a page. She called the person and got information about a sick shild. I got up and went to the bathroom. In a short while we both went back to sleep. I entered a dream lucid.

There was rain and flying and a wolf/dog and then a fading of imagery. I tried spinning, but it did not work. Short dream

I was in a New Age/ Natural Wonders type shop. It had bath salts, incense, ESP games, and this cool little cylinder with colored sands in it. If you shook the cylinder and thought of someone, it would make a sand sculpture that resembled what you were thinking. I did not buy anything. I was told the shop was closing. I wound up behind the shop in an alley.

MARGINAL NOTE: There was weight and other similar sensations to objects of this dream.

fragments:
-I ws following a sea turtle in his search for home. He went long distances over land and water.

-I was retrieving a boat I had to abandon. I went with several others in another boat over the stormy sea to retrieve this boat.

comments:
I think all of the rain and water elements in my dreams are coming from the white noise maker we have on when we sleep. We usually have it on the "rain" setting.
