A 'hanging around the ole' homestead dream', except it wasn't quite the same as the place I grew up in (it never is).
Recall was up for today, but due to more 'dream scenes'; no sense of whether they were connected (with logical segues between them) or just seperate random stuff.
So..wandered some 'tunnel' or 'ship' area (there was a scenario, either observing or participating in) where I saw some children running and/or playing, and got the impression that they lived there. So if it was a 'ship' there was a BSG quality to it (ie, an impression that they were travelling to get somewhere, eventually). Post waking thought: If it was more a 'tunnel' the inference could have been that they were a 'hunted' people (also like the BSG-ers) who had to hide away to be safe.
I seemed to do some playing - possibly a play/training exercise. (As we all know, 'play' can actually be a pretty serious business.) It involved hiding and not giving yourself away (by moving?) even if you were found. Seemed to involve other children, so that it didn't feel that risky. Still wanted to succeed, though. So, the stakes were no stronger than game-playing stakes, but of course one can still want very much to 'win'. I may have been 'found' by a couple of young'uns, but think I succeeded in controlling myself (ie, not freaking out, etc.) in the game-appropriate way.
An amusing extension of this 'game' may have involved (once people knew you were there) swinging (Tarzan-like) around above people on a rope, 'teasing' them and making sure to not get physically grabbed by them if possible. I seemed to have a 'veil' that I held but then let one woman grab onto and keep. I may have managed to let go and jump off after one particular swooop and run off.
Then, more obvious 'homestead' lurking. I seemed to be 'skittish', as I often am (in that I will lurk and creep and kind of avoid running into people unduly - either that... or they avoid running into me), and so I wandered through the field next to the place I grew up in (which we don't technically own; it's just a neighboring field, occasionally mown for hay by a local farmer). Looked a bit more grown up with plants and things that the actual field is. I then wandered up near to the propery line near the house and saw a little building ....that we don't actually have (and it was technically a little ways into the 'field' anyway). I (?) explained it away as "Oh yeah; some friends of ours built this/helped my dad build this (recently)" - Never mind that said 'friends' actually live in Tennessee). Interesting to see the times I come close to or don't come close to going Lucid and how oddities are, um, 'explained away'.
But yeah, suddenly we had a 'garden shed' (as it was just a little white, cute building). I didn't go in here or into the house proper that I recall, just lurked around the periphery. Again as always, saw features that we don't actually have (changes in the architectural configuration, etc). Seemed to peek into the house through open windows; the atmosphere/feel was warm and cozy. Got the impression that 'siblings' and friends of theirs were inside (perhaps, just out of sight)...

No biphasic sleep - but 2 am pit stop awakening, another 5:30 am pit stop awakening (partly due to cat freaking out about crock pot meat smell) - just stayed up after that.
