I'm at my parents house when I 'wake up'.

Oh my, the news upon waking is not good. The sun is shining on through the curtains - I've slept in far too deep! I move into the dining room, turn to the clock and discover it's already 8am.

I'm pretty stressed out about this. I'm supposed to be at class at 8:50 at the latest. This isn't going to work out. How will I get ready, and travel there in less than 50 minutes?! What will the children say when they get there, and there's nobody to take the class.

Still thinking about what to do, I wake for real.

Comments: This dream interests me primarily because of the way my unconscious intention to wake up on time snuck it's way into the dream. It seems a good example of how intention's can alter what we dream about. If I can replace the 'intensity' of my intention to wake up 'on time' with an intention to wake up lucidly within my next dream, then that's exactly what can happen.
