"I wrote this one a while ago to see if anyone had any insight on the images and so forth. For now I'm just content to put it with the rest of my remembered dreams here. I already posted this dream in another place, which is probably why I was invited to come here. This is the most lucid dream I have ever had. A lot of different things take place, so you'll have to bear with me. I revised the original just a little bit so that some things make more sense." Lance Turk

The dream started with me hitchhiking. I didn't have any destination in particular. But I knew that I had to get home by a certain time. After a while I got picked up. I was in the car for a while before I realized that I was going way too far from home.. I got out of the car and almost started walking back, but decided to just keep going. Eventually I came to a house. I figured I could hang out there for a while. There was a family (father, and some kids. No mother) there that accepted me in and gave me dinner.

It didn't take long for me to see that the father was hated in this family. I don't know why, but I knew that the kids wanted the father dead, so I killed him. Plus the daughter was really hot and I wanted to impress her. I don't remember how, but I killed the father. Immediately after that, I followed one of the boys up to his room. He showed me his toys, but he didn't know how to play with them. So I spent about 5 minutes showing him how to assemble LEGO toys. I felt like a hero then and went back downstairs. I thought I was helping this family out greatly. When I got downstairs, I saw the daughter throwing a massive party in celebration of the death. I thought I had a connection with her earlier, but now she was completely ignoring me and having fun with her friends.

Dejected, I went outside to walk back home. In the front yard I met a complete stranger who looked like he was also going to do some long distance walking. We walked together for a while and slowly he kind of morphed into Liu Kang (A character from Mortal Kombat)... though he was always the same person to me. I'm not an MK freak, but that's what happened. I had real difficulty walking up a hill at one point. My legs were giving out on me without any reason what so ever. It was like my knees were turning to jello and wobbling uncontrollably. That feeling eventually passed. Slowly, the paved road turned into a dirt road, then into a forest path. Then the forest turned into mobile homes.

I decided to stop for a drink. Liu Kang at this point had changed yet again... this time as my best friend. Yet he was still the same person to me. We went into one of the trailers, which was a mom-and-pop type of restaurant. I tried talking to the waiter to get water but the guy was speaking with an accent so heavy, that I couldn't understand what he wanted. I eventually figured out that he wanted me to serve food to a certain table. I tried to do so, but messed up the order of plates.

The waiter yelled at me for being incompetent. I could only take so much of his crap and ended up throwing all of the food on my platter on everybody in the restaurant. I walked by a candy counter and saw some kid looking at me in astonishment... I SWEAR TO GOD this next part actually happened. I picked up a roll of Mentos from the candy counter and made the pose. A big smile of recognition passed on everyone's face… just like the commercial.

With that I tossed the Mentos aside and tried to get a drink of water. The faucet was turned backwards so I couldn't get the water to shoot out. After a few minutes of fumbling with the faucet I lifted it and forced it around the wall so I could finally pour it. I drank the water, then turned around. Suddenly I was back in my living room. I recognized the fact that I was dreaming and woke up because of it.
