so i had a dream i was at school and it was first period. the bell rang to go to 2nd period, but i stayed in the classroom and was talkin to all the kids that have second period in there. the late bell rang so i left to go to my next class. i saw my friend so i started talking to her. but its wierd because everytime i have a dream and she is in it before i talk to her i fall and my back and then i float back up onto my feet haha. we talked for like 15 minutes and then i figured i should get to second period so i left. 2nd period started a while ago so the whole school was practically empty. to get to my second period class i walk by up these stairs that no one ever goes by and there is a metal bar fence right here that you can see through/slip through that leads off campus. there were a bunch of hobos standing on the other side of the fence yelling at me to open the gate for them and they were cimbing the fence and trying to slip through. and they gave off some of the baddest vibes that ive ever felt in my life. these vibes were so bad that they were scary. i started running in the opposite direction from my class/them screaming for help, and the vibes they gave off scared me so bad that they forced me to wake myself up.
i think that it was a lucid dream because i was able to control things and i was aware thet i was asleep and dreaming and i was aware of my surroundings when i was sleeping, and i woke myself up on purpose
Yes, this does sound like a lucid dream. If it were my dream, I think I'd make a special effort to get to class on time and avoid unused stairways.
I think the school as a whole represents your mind. The alternative pathway in that case is a creative thought, that actually may prove valuable. You are however deterred from this frame of thought by the fear of academic failure represented by the hobos. They also represent your deeper urges/desires that you can normally keep under strict control in order to behave like a civilized person, and you may fear that being to creative and unstructured may lead to personal chaos. I think you should attempt to confront your fears, move a bit out of your comfort zone rather than playing it safe. You have lots to gain from going into some uncharted areas both on a personal and academic level.
