I am walking on the street to some sort of ball or festival dance or something. My best friend is with me. I notice that all the girls around us are wearing long pretty dresses, but my BFF is wearing dress pants and I am wearing a mini skirt and tank top. We do not fit in at all. To make it even more obvious that we do not fit in, all the other girls are wearing these bright neon pins in the shapes of butterflies and dragon flies on big bows. I decide I want one of those pins because the tank top I am wearing is white with neon colored butterflies. I Pull my BFF to this little store beside the road where I think I can buy them. The store is up on a hill, so we had to walk up the driveway/parking lot to get to it. I walk in and start holding bows with butterflies up to my dress to see how they look. I settle on a pretty pink one, and then discover that it is not a pin, but a hair bow on a clip. At first I try to clip it to my spaghetti strap, but then I decide to put it in my hair where it belongs. I turn around and there is a long mirror behind us so I start trying to put it in my hair. I start marveling over how pretty and long my hair is. It is straight and halfway down my back. In real life my hair is short and very naturally curly, when it is as long as half down my back it curls so much that it barely grazes my shoulder. Anyways, I start wondering why I did not grow my hair out this long sooner, then I remember that I have been trying to grow my hair out. It is just that my hair does not grow that fast! This has to be a dream! I immediately drop the hair bow and walk out the door. My bff follows me and asks what is wrong. I tell her I am dreaming, and I am lucid right now! I tell her to call <PERSON> for me and tell him to meet me in a little gypsy like tent nearby that looks like something a palm reader would be working out of. Then I walk off and leave her b/c dream character <PERSON> is not the real thing and I did not want to waste my time with her. I walk over to the tent, and find that it is got a fire inside of it, and it is not really a tent at all, but some sort of decorative fireplace that only looked like a tent from the distance. I feel kind of disappointed, but there is a building nearby and I think I can go in there to wait. At this point I lose my lucidity though I see my husband inside and he wants me to go somewhere or do something, and I tell him I cannot because I am waiting for <PERSON>. He gets all mad and jealous about the fact that I am waiting for some other guy, and then I cannot remember the rest of what happened. Yay for lucidity though! lol I am noticing I cannot stand being inside when I find that I am lucid. I guess since that second lucid I had where I was trapped inside and could not open doors because I was afraid they would be locked. Now I feel like every time I am lucid I have to go outside to do anything, or else I will be trapped inside in a "normal" world. Every lucid I have had in the last month has been like, "Yay! I am dreaming!" *walk to the door* I might make it a goal to stay INSIDE during a lucid to break that habit and train myself to be comfortable with my lucidity where ever I am.
