Screaming or howling

This lucid is from the morning of 5/19/2014. (I think so at least. I am embarrassed to say that my records got spotty right here.) Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid Lucid #211: The Bag Lady I am high up on a hotel walkway that encircles an atrium. The room's huge and bustles with people. I see a group of familiar people from my life seated in plush, comfy-looking chairs and realize that I am dreaming. I walk up to "Cyclone", a friend from high school that I occasionally catch up with. I try to explain to him that I am having a lucid dream. He is trying to respond but I am confused and unable to understand what he is trying to say. As I grow frustrated by this, the dream fades into a false awakening. I get up from what I believe is a hotel room and walk out to the street. I am someplace that looks like New York City and it is early morning. I walk out onto a brick-lined path toward another building. Maybe 30 feet away, there is a bad lady standing near a little planter that looks like it contains a vegetable garden. She seems to notice me and comes staggering over. I hope she will not approach and try to scurry cowardly away. As I do this, she let us out a blood-curdling scream and starts flying after me. I feel a combination of embarrassment at my wimpy reaction and outright fear that I am about to get mauled on the street. Her hand grabs my shoulder and I think that come on, this has got to be a dream. What a relief that it is in fact a dream! The bag lady screams in my face and grabs at my chest and shoulders with clawlike fingers. I am not feeling very calm at this point, but I try to calm her down by saying "Sh..." and raising my hands in as nonconfrontational a gesture as I can manage. She seems to settle down and I notice she looks a fairly normal person now. She is in her late 30s, wearing a hood and shawl. Kind of cute-ish, even. Her teeth are still bared but now she just looks like she is upset rather than truly demonic. For some reason I start kissing her, and she seems to calm down completely. I hear another scream from nearby and I see a second dangerous-looking bag lady quickly approaching. Time to go. I make for the building entrance, a simple looking glass door into what looks like a darkened school hallway. As I make my way down the hallway, nobody follow. That is a relieft. I emerge from the hallway into what looks like ground floor fo the hotel atrium I would been in before. I wonder if I can make my way back up, but the dream ends before I can find out.
