Like most of my early lucid dreams, there was a nonlucid part that I am going to skip over and ignore. Although, If I remember correctly, this is where the famous "herryour sandwich" dream happened. Anyways, I got lucid, but for some reason, I was not moving. I do not know if it was because I could not move, or was in "spectator" mode. Or because I was just too blown away by what I was seeing to actually be engaged in it. Also, if you have ever wondered why in my dreams, I flag my dream characters; <PERSON> and <PERSON> as good and evil archetypes. This is why. I recognized the dream location immediately. It was an imaginary city that I dreampt up as a child. The city was called <PERSON>. (Pronounced VE-HAH-SUE) The idea was that the city was built in a massive crater, and therefore surrounded by mountains. This created a massive circular valley, roughly 20 miles on edge. Most of the valley was filled with water, but there was a small island only about two miles across where the actual city was. But this was where the similarities to my imaginary city ended. The island was mostly just an open field. There were a few scattered ruins implying the city had long since been abandoned/destroyed. Final note, the sky was clear and it was sunny. Save for the building we were on. It looked like some armored warehouse or fortress made from stone and metal, with gravel on the roof. But I was not at all transfixed by the setting. It was what was going on in front of me. <PERSON> and <PERSON> were fighting. <PERSON> was operating some kind of robotic suit that could best be described as the body of a very muscular man made of a copper-colored metal. The suit lacked a head, but rather a cockpit where I could see a sort of bust-shot of <PERSON>. The rest of him, obviously inside, controlling whatever device. Lia did not have anything. (Why do the bad guys always get the cool stuff?!) But she was holding her own by doing this duck and weave thing. (I never took her as atheltic/agile at all until this day.) From what I could gather, she was trying to climb up the mech and get him out of there. <PERSON> eventually landed a punch and sent her off the roof of said building. I was finally able to move and went after her, forgetting about my dream "nemesis". I jumped off the roof and came next to her, where she did not look injured or even dazed. But she was laying on the ground and did not seem capable of moving. We just looked at each other for a few seconds, until I looked over to see <PERSON>. He was not in the mech suit anymore, and he was pointing a gun at me. <PERSON>! I woke up.
