   This dream started out with little lucidity and then progressed via the   
   symbols I encounted which served as the emotional / hormone switches to   
   elisit greater lucidity as a result of the subtle quickening, and as such   
   the lucid -dream -launching -pad that has been alluded to.   
      
    I was in my car and backing out of a driveway.  I started down the driveway   
   and then noticed that there was another car.  A gold cadilac that was in the   
   end of the driveway.  It was leaving nose first.  I stopped my car with the   
   rear end of it very close to the other car.  Suddenly another car coming   
   down the street prompted the woman in the gold cadilac to start to back up   
   into the driveway.   
   I got out of the car and started yelling for her to please STOP.  She did.   
   The other car passed along with the danger and then the lady in the caddy   
   pulled out.   
   I then went back into the house there.  Once inside I noticed a man who went   
   over and picked up a plant off a coffee table.  The place was almost empty   
   and I wondered if he was taking the plant.  The plant looked like a sort of   
   cactus and was in a small square pot and held there by what looked like   
   plastic.  I watched as he walked took the plant and walked over to another   
   room and knelt down and held the plant up to the wall.  The wall was also a   
   green color and he was comparing the two colors I think to see if they   
   worked together.  Then I walked further into the room and looked down at the   
   table he had picked up the plant from. Then further into the room.  There   
   were a couple other people there, possibly a mother and her daughter.  I   
   started getting rather lucid at this point.   
   I decided to fly a little so I launched myself across the room and flew just   
   like you see when people do it weightless in space.  I then did a   
   summersault in the air.   
   I was just about to speak to them when I noticed a dog sitting across the   
   room.   
   I got an immediate sensation that the dog was watching us and probably   
   wasn't a dog at all but an observing helper angel of some sort.  I walked   
   over to the dog and knelt down and said to him.  " Now who are you." He   
   first looked like a cartoon dog but then he became much more real taking on   
   the appearance of a German Shepard with a dark face, smiling with his tongue   
   out.  I said further, " I bet you are someone important aren't you." And it   
   was about this time that I came out of it.   
      
   Note: In the course of the day to follow I ended up finding myself on three   
   different occasions behind different cadillacs and the last one was the   
   exact gold caddie from the dream, same shape.  It was an older modle which   
   made it a bit more interesting as an anomaly.   
      
   The dog in the dream was interesting because my old friend Hal who I used to   
   do much flying with, he used to refer to us as " dogs on a leash" when we   
   would work with police. Hal is dead now. He died while making love to a   
   woman I set him up with in a chat room on Prodigy back in 1991, they were   
   engaged to be married.  Yes, he did, he came and went at the same time.   
   Heart attack of course.
