Oh man, Cirque du Soleil DVDs make for some awesome dreams.
I dreamt I was in Firefly expect for I was doing all these cool aerobatic moves around the cargo hold of the ship. It actually felt really real. I'm not sure if there was any plot to this whatsoever, but Captain Mal was all "Holy shit, you're hired." Maybe I was supposed to be River?

I was in my house with my uncle, and all of a sudden these guys with guns came in. My uncle and I started to run out of the house, and I made it to his jeep first. I tried starting it, but I kept using the wrong key. I was yelling for my uncle to get in the jeep, but he's just walking around with a glazed look on his face. The bad guys started coming out of the house, and they took my uncle hostage. I shot the guy holding him, and another guy that was shooting at me.
I have no memory of whether or not he made it to the jeep, but I finally got the thing started and I sped off. One of the bad guys yelled something like, "Don't even bother trying to get away! Not with what we have planned."
Suddenly, the road turned into desert and this huge orangutan leg busted out of the sand and crushed me. My life started flashing before my eyes, which just consisted of me running in slow motion down a twisting bowling lane in a purple desert. As I was running I looked up at the sky and it was this psychadellic pattern of colors. I then looked down at my feet and said "Very funny, god. Here I come!" and everything froze and credits started to roll like a movie. Then I woke up.

Last night I dreamed I went to a Ramones concert. It was in a high school gym or something. It was pretty awesome, but they only played about five songs, and no encore, so I was pretty pissed about that. Still though, Ramones!

I had the most over-the-top metal dream earlier. It was something to do with a haunted coffin in a funeral home which would somehow attract people's curiosity, but if they opened it a pair of skeletons would leap out on a motorbike; one was driving and the other wielded a chainsaw which it would use to carve up the victim. The image was literally straight off some eighties power-metal album.

Woo! Had a lucid dream last night, well 2 technically. Went lucid in the first dream, and then managed to incubate a second, but that one turned out weird. In any case, here's the dreams in length:
Start of Term and Persecution
I'm at an assembly hall. I recognise the place. I'm at my old boarding school again, and am around all my old school mates, etc. I'm young again and was the same age as everyone around me. It seemed like it was the start of a new school year, so we were getting introduced into our schedules and whatnot. However, we were soon put to our classes and I started to get talking to various kids around me. They all began to tease me about various things I've done, but I shrugged them off as I neither remembered those things, nor was it really something that bothered me. However, one guy wasn't teasing me and instead just told me about what was being planned for the lesson. At this point, the teacher comes in and starts getting on with the lesson. I don't recognise him as a teacher I had before, nor could i put my finger on what the lesson was actually about.
Soon, scene shifts to the end of the lesson, and I'm walking over to the canteen to have my lunch. Soon enough, I'm sitting at some table and eating some rather generic food (I can't really recall what it was, might have been really sloppy pasta bathed in sauce... which, according to previous experiences, was probably quite accurate in the vagueness of the meal). Overall though, I recall seeing some more familiar faces and mostly just focused on eating, since people were trying to tease me again.
After lunch, I went back outside, however I noticed there were shops on the campus. I sort of thought that this was strange and wondered on why a school had a shop on campus and seemed to be teaching meaningless lessons. However, as I began thinking about this, I was suddenly aware that a teacher had pointed me out to this group of soldiers (who looked awfully similar to Combine Soldiers). The soldiers then saw me and tried to arrest me. I, however, just ran in the direction of a nearby woods. Evading the soldiers, i came to this ruin of a building and used it to make it harder for the soldiers to keep on my tracks. It was there I found a whole box filled with nothing but grenades. They appeared to look like the grenades from Half-Life 2, and when thrown, would have a red light and trail. As I ran through the ruin, I left grenades behind me as traps, always throwing them into places where I knew there was going to be more than one soldier coming through.
Taking out the soldiers by the twos and threes, I soon was out of grenades and running through the woods again. I get the feeling that I need to rest, as I don't feel I will be able to continue escaping. Finding this thick bush to the side of the path, I roll myself against various plants and leaves to one side of the path before heading over to hide under the bush. Pulling in as much foliage around me, I hunker down to hide and watch more soldiers run past with dogs this time. The dogs appeared to be thrown off by the scent I had left on the other side of the road, and take the soldiers away from where I was hiding. Seeing the danger was over, I just rest and the scene shifts once again.
It is a week later and I'm walking back into school. I go into the canteen to have my breakfast, though as i come back, I start to realise that I've forgotten to do all the homework set and that I had lost all my books (since I had to run away for a while). As I walk out of the canteen, I find myself getting pretty worried. However, it is here I realise that something's off. What exactly WAS the homework? I had been pointed out by a teacher and had been chased off school, but I was back again and nothing was happening. It is here I realise I'm actually dreaming and I suddenly feel very relieved that this is all but a dream and I'm not actually going through school again. I'm no longer a younger version of myself, I'm back to being 23 year old me. Walking through the school grounds, I come to the building where I'm supposed to be having the first lesson of the day. The room is on the third floor, but I just grin to myself and jump up into the air. As I reach a window on the third floor, I hover in place and open the window, climbing into the class and shout out to everyone "Sorry I'm late!"
Everyone turns around and looks at me, quite astonished at the fact that I had suddenly climbed in through the window of a room on the third freakin' floor. The teacher suddenly goes pale and starts pointing to me and stammering "W-w-wait! You are sup-p-pposed to be have b-been k-killed by those s-s-s-soldiers!!". To which I suddenly grin all evilly and begin to walk towards the teacher "Oh? So it was you who pointed me out to those soldiers. Now, why did you do that?" The teacher was getting very scared and sweaty as I approached closer, responding with "B-b-because you knew the secret! We couldn't risk you knowing!!". I just laugh and then proceed to start beating up the teacher in front of the whole class "And this is your reward for trying to get me killed!". Afterwards, i leave a rather unconscious and bruised teacher behind and just begin to walk towards a window, though I noticed the guy that didn't tease me was in the class. He called out to me and asked:
"Why did you do that?" "Umm, because I just felt like it. Not like it is going to make much of a difference here." "Right... need notes for the lesson then?" "Nah, I'm good. Just get on with your own things and don't worry about me"
Everyone else just looked shocked, surprised, unable to really comprehend what was going on. I just ignored them all and leaned against the open window I came in through. I decide to do some further experiments since I've wanted to verify a couple of things and do a task I had planned for a while. First, I do my RC checks that I've set aside for myself to do IRL. Clicking fingers and then checking hands. My clicking fingers was to check for sparks, but everything felt normal and sounded normal, with clear clicks and no abnormal sensations. RC 1 doesn't work. Hands check. I look at my hands closely and see that my fingers are not in exact normal proportions and two of my fingers are closer together than they should be. RC 2 works. Smiling to myself, I confirm that at least my hands RC works reliably.
Looking down at the rest of the school, I see a bunch of old mates of mine walking by the building. However, I take a very indifferent, experimental attitude at this point and I decide to see if I can do the Flame Alchemist thing by making explosions by clicking of fingers. I focus my intent on exploding the ground near to the DCs below me, and click my fingers. Nothing. I repeat this several times but to no avail. I think to myself, perhaps I'm missing something first. I know, let's try summoning those gloves he uses. I reach into the back pockets of my trousers to try to pull out those gloves, but all I get are old bus tickets. Crap. Wait, I remember that there was a shop on campus which had gloves on display. Not the right ones, but it is worth a try. I shift the scene consciously so I'm back in front of the shop. I look through the window and see a pair of dark wool gloves on the other side. I reach through the window with my hand (without ever breaking the glass) and pull out the gloves from the display stand. Putting the gloves on, I smile to myself and begin to get ready to experiment again. However, before I could do so, everything goes black and dream ends here.
I keep my eyes closed and keep focusing on trying to get back into the dream. Relax, breathe, focus. Relax, breathe, focus. Visualise the school grounds again and start to get myself back into a dream. However, I get this:
Operating System Crash
I suddenly see a splash screen for an Operating System, and then a loading screen. Everything seemed to be a curious mix between Windows and Linux Ubuntu. However, I suddenly get errors popping up on a command line interface, saying that various resources and modules were not loading and failed to run. I get annoyed and I just focus on trying to shift this scene back to my school dream, but every time I focused my intent, more error messages popped up, repeating the same thing about various resources and modules not working. No matter what I did, I appeared to be stuck with this scene, viewing a whole bunch of error messages. Text was readable and didn't shift/was stable. Annoyed by lack of progress, i just wake up at this point.
So there. Went lucid and got to do some experimentation. I am generally happy with last night's progress. Generally.

Going to Hades?
Last night I had a strange thought that started this dream. The thought was "Hmm, I wonder how's Purgatory?" then concentrated on the thought, until I heard a cacophony of ghostly voices that suddenly vanish. Then I opened my "eyes" (I was really dreaming) and saw that I was on a boat in a dark cave.
I forgot how things went after that but I had managed to get my hands on a rather thick and heavy coin of the afterlife. It had two faces on both sides of the coin, one face apparently had a natural scar.

I was some sort of super inventor, kind of like Tony Stark or something. There was an evil clone of me that I had to destroy. To do it, I got on a cruise ship with my evil clone. We were enlarged to be like 50ft tall, and I had some sort of satellite laser weapon that would target the evil me. I had another person on the boat (I forget who), and John Oliver came on at the last moment. Evil me found out about the plan and I had to avoid him by staying on the opposite side of a cabin from him as he chased me around. I had the clumsiness like in a dream, but he still never caught me. The lasers went off, and I saw green lasers all over the sky. I ducked my head over the edge of the boat into the water to shield my eyes, then it was over. The boat was sinking and I rescued my friend and left. Then I realized John Oliver was still onboard and I had to go back for him. He had somehow tied himself up into this weird bag thing to make himself rescuable, but it prevented him from moving himself. I had to pull him out of the boat as it sunk.

I don't remember the whole dream I had last night, but I remember some of it.
I was married to Rick Moranis, and we were sitting on a bench in a hotel lobby watching a White Stripes music video on tv. There was a woman sitting next to us injecting coffee into her veins like heroin. She turned around and stabbed me with the needle, and I started to run away. I ran down this infinitely long hotel hallway, and there was a prostitute standing in front of every door. They were all the same prostitute. I don't remember what, if anything, happened after that.

I had a bunch of weird dreams last night. The one I remember most was of my city being under attack. I had to go to the grocery store where I used to work. When I came out, a woman was pointing up and saying the building was on fire. I looked up but didn't see anything. A few seconds later there was black smoke billowing across the sky. Then came the planes and helicopters. We all ran for this building across the street, which in the dream was a bomb shelter that the city had built; it was huge with lots of underground rooms. People were bringing pets in, and I was carrying this cat around. Me and a girl I used to work with went to find a room that was still empty. We ended up in a large room that was like a dining hall or sitting room. We all had to hang out there until the immediate threat had passed. Then I woke up cuz my throat was killing me.
In another one, Captain Jack, me, Mr. Ragetti and another pirate were hanging out in my parents' old house. Apparently it was our hideout or something. We heard something outside, and ran to the window to see what was going on. Some people were getting out of a pickup truck, one with a rifle, and several others with weapons. I started to panic, and I didn't know where Jack went. I ducked and went to the floor to wait for the attack. The person with the rifle knocked on the window, and it turned out it was some actors practicing for a movie scene or something. :/
There was one more, but now I don't remember it.

I had a dream about the song Rock Lobster the other night. I don't remember anything besides the fact that I was very excited and danced wildly to the song.

I just woke up from a dream where me, Adam Savage, and David Bowie (Labyrinth Bowie) opened a successful soup restaurant. We were being filmed as a reality show.
That dream morphed into the three of us trying to find our way out of a scary subway tunnel. We were running from an evil skeleton with an ax and lollipops in its eye sockets.
Eventually we came across this screen window and tried to make a break for it. David jumped out first and found out that we were orbiting in space. We pulled him back in, but the skeleton found, and killed us.

My boyfriend had a dream about Adam West the other night. They were racing each other through the city on motorized scooters.
