September 6, 2010 At a camp - 4/5 I am staying in some group cabins at a camp. Another lady comes into my room. She helps me clean up the garbages and some clothes-folding as we chat. She has a light British accent. "I think the camp might be haunted," she says to me. "Well, I heard that it was built over a native burial ground," I say. "That usually guarantees a haunting." We leave the room and there is a party happening in the common area. It is now night time. I chat with my new friend some more, and I could have done all night, but we realized we should socialize with the other people too, so we promised to chat more later. I saw a girl go outside to the deck, so I followed her out there. We both lounged on these deck chairs that could be manipulated like lazy-boy chairs. Another girl came out, and the three of us chatted. Then the other two brought out nail clippers and started working on their toenails huh I was a little put off by this, so I went back inside. The next morning, I am standing outside with a group. I am looking at the gravel and I think, "What if this was a dream right now?" I immediately recognize the dreamy feeling and had a quiet "Oh!" moment. I stare at my hands (which looked normal) to ensure that the dream remained around me. I thought about finding <PERSON> (I miss him), so when someone asked me my attention, I replied, "No, I am going to stick around for a bit." I walk back towards the cabins, and momentarily gazed out over the lake, mountains and trees. "I really want to fly out over that," I thought. "I want to find <PERSON> though." Suddenly the dream faded out. False awakening. I chained back in to the sounds of a stream. I then saw the stream and thought, "Oh cool, that worked out well!" Then it faded out again. I could still hear the stream, crickets and fishing lines in my head, but I could not get an image. I let it go, and chained into a new scene. I was standing in a house. "Great, now let us try to find <PERSON>," I thought. I realize I am still wearing my pajamas, so I snap my fingers and change my clothes. I am about to walk out through the front door when I see a guy just loitering, waiting. "That is unnerving," I thought. So I went through the house, out the back, and pushed off the ground to fly. "Take me to <PERSON>'s house please!" I shouted and intentionally spun. The spinning kept going and went black and I wondered if I ruined the dream this way. When it stopped, I was still in the air, over a new community. Hmm. Once again, sensing this was wasting my lucidity, I decided to find my old school and conjure up my brother. Unfortunately, my dream would not let me come down (it was like I kept catching air pockets) and I woke for real. Decided, upon awakening, that perhaps I should be asking <PERSON> for his help in finding people. He is the only one I can ask for that appears. Another false awakening Cannot remember what the real time was, but the FA time was 6:20am. Happy it was still so early in the morning, I fell back to sleep. I possibly had another LD here, but I cannot recall it. During this FA, I remember wanting to try <PERSON> again. I remember feeling like someone (probably <PERSON>) was pulling on my arm and rubbing it, trying to get my dream body working. And me thinking I was just imagining this feeling . I also recall there being a point where I had some paralysis bleedthrough into a dream, but I am having troubles remembering more.

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
