I had an incredibly surreal, possibly lucid dream last night.

I was in the car going somewhere with my parents, but something seemed off. As we were backing out of the garage, there was suddenly a large inflatable (red? blue?) ball was wedged in the garage where the car was. It was parade-float-like, in that I could see it was made up of several polygonal sheets with obvious seams. It seemed rather cheap, in a way.

I think I was somewhat lucid about the fact I was dreaming, as the dream kept backing up a little, or restarting, or something, as if my subconscious was tripping up and trying to step back a bit.

I ended up bursting the big inflatable ball somehow, but I'm not sure how this happened, if I ended up out of the car or what.

The next moment, I was lying down in the living room with a scrunched up ball of blue rubber - obviously the remains of the inflatable ball, though certainly not enough rubber to be as big as it once was.

I then ate it.

I then noticed my hands starting to look puffy, light blue shiny patches appearing on my hands and a bit over my arms. I open the sliding door (or it was already open?) onto the verandah and stand on the lawn and look up to the sky. I don't know if I saw it or just - in dream - imagined it, but I remember my belly getting round and blue, too. I think there was some more of the dream glitching back a few seconds again, as I feel like going outside happened a few times.

I jumped, I wanted to see if I would float. I jumped a few more times (possibly dream glitches again), I think by this point I was certain I was dreaming, because I saw potential for squeaky adventures and wanted them to happen. Every time I jumped on the lawn, I felt myself get lighter, my jumps higher and floatier.

I'm not sure if I started floating or not. I remember a particular floaty moment, and visions of the clouds, but I may have woken by this point. That was probably just me wishing I'd continued dreaming, I wanted to get to the floating flying part...

I got back to sleep at some point, but the next dream was less interesting, just something about a colourful flat with my brother and clutter everywhere.

But still, that first dream... becoming a balloonie and floating with each step and jump... I haven't had a dream like that in a long time... <3
