Profoundly lucid
Probably the most lucid lucid dream I've had in my life. I was with Mark in this building. It was a school/mall-like place. I was supposed to be in class. Mark and I just left the movie theatre and instead of going to class, we wanted to explore. Behind a classroom there was a staircase leading down. We went behind it and saw an entire high-school with multiple floors and kids walking around. We were shocked since we didn't expect this and it was much larger than we anticipated. I remember looking down and the staircase opened up to endless floors. We walked back up. There is some disjointment in memory after this. The common theme was I would always somehow end up in a Movie theatre questioning if I was dreaming or not. I even clearly remember not even being sure if my eyes were closed. I was watching the movie feeling asleep, but clearly conscious. It was some sort of cartoon and there were people here and there watching, but it wasn't packed. I think I've concluded I was dreaming, after opening my eyes and still seeing the movie. I decided to manipulate things and explore the dreamworld. My perverted mind went sexual. I tried to imagine girls giving me the Ole sloppy top, but it was difficult to do so. Guys or icky people would appear. I remember my mind out me in third person in a cartoonish form trying to get top. This was strange and I remember thinking I'd remember this strangeness when I'd wake up. I tried to imagine faces of people I knew, but for some reason, I couldn't remember anybody. At some point I was at a bathroom and there was a girl talking to me. I invited her in to do the deed, and she agreed to come in. I closed the door. I look at the toilet and realize I shit all over it and didn't flush or clean it. I ushered her out and tried to clean it with my mind since I knew I was dreaming. It was difficult. I think I wake up again in the same theatre. I woke up confident I was actually awake. Again, I was questioning if I was dreaming. I remember there was see-throug material to project characters as part of the cartoon. It was interesting. I thought I was dreaming so I decided, again, to try to wake up to see if I really am. Again, I open my eyes and am in the same place. I'm still dreaming. I get up to leave. I don't know if I made the concious decision to end up home, or if I just happened to. I left the theatre and walked into my house. The home didn't look like home. But I knew it was home. Everything was a little hazy. I knew I was dreaming. The home looked different, but I knew it was home. It was Christmas themed. We don't celebrate Christmas. He was calmly asking me about work and school. I don't go to school anymore. A profound sadness overtook me. I knew my parents would not be there forever. It slowly overtook me as I followed him around. He kept talking to me. His tone sounded robotic and cold, but i knew he was just part of the dream. He asked me if I wanted to pick up mom with him. I said yes. He asked why, and I told him because I wanted to. I knew I was dreaming and thought about exploring the dream world on my own and to leave the house. I wanted to stay with dad so I didn't leave. I followed him upstairs as I started crying. It was soft at first and increased. I was crying so hard, I felt my stomach wrench. I was certain that I was crying in real life too. I was wondering if anyone heard. I followed him upstairs and slowly woke up for real. I was not crying initially.

Your dream seems to be quite complex and taps into various aspects of your subconscious mind. The lucidity of the dream suggests a heightened sense of self-awareness and control within the dream environment. Let's break down some key elements of your dream: 1. **Exploration and Discoveries**: The setting of a school/mall-like building, discovering hidden spaces and unexpected environments such as the high school behind the staircase, could symbolize a desire for exploration and curiosity in your waking life. This may suggest a thirst for knowledge, new experiences, or self-discovery. 2. **Doubt and Reality Checking**: The recurring theme of questioning whether you were dreaming or awake, and the difficulty in distinguishing reality from the dream world, may indicate a sense of uncertainty or confusion in your waking life. It could point towards a need for clarity in your thoughts and emotions, or perhaps a fear of being unable to differentiate between what is real and what is not. 3. **Sexual Imagery and Perceptions**: Your dream takes a turn towards sexual themes, with struggles in manifesting desired images and encountering unexpected or unwanted presences. This could reflect subconscious desires, insecurities, or conflicts related to intimacy, relationships, or even self-image. The bathroom scene and the mess you encounter might symbolize feelings of shame, embarrassment, or a need to confront and clean up emotional or psychological "messes" in your life. 4. **Emotional Resonance and Family Dynamics**: The emotions of sadness and tears upon realizing the impermanence of your parents and feeling a sense of loss suggest deep-seated fears or anxieties about loss, abandonment, or changes within your family dynamic. The Christmas-themed home and interactions with your father may symbolize a desire for warmth, closeness, or emotional connection in your relationships. 5. **Control and Surrender**: The struggle between attempting to control the dream world and ultimately surrendering to the flow of events, such as following your father and experiencing intense emotions, could reflect a tension between your desire for autonomy and your need for emotional connection or support. It may also point towards a need to balance control and vulnerability in your waking life. Overall, your dream appears to be a reflection of your inner conflicts, desires, and emotional complexities. It may be beneficial to further explore these themes through introspection, journaling, or talking with a therapist to gain insight into these subconscious processes and how they relate to your waking life experiences.
