This is a pretty long dream which took place in a school that had a pretty ancient Japanese-looking structure. There were sliding doors, beautifully adorned wooden walls, the works. Outside, there were nice gardens and stone walls. Still, most of the recall is gone now as I took too long to type/write it down. I remember meeting friends from RL, including G., his girlfriend B. and her friend T. I remember something about the girls making fun of me at some point. I remember another part where I was walking around in my pajamas. Realizing what I had done, I cover the shirt with a jacket, but still it didn't help as much as expected.
At some point I'm arriving at this really cool place. I was riding a car or some kind of cart, not sure. I get out of it and find myself in front of this huge red open gate on the stone walls. It leads to a Japanese bridge in a garden, with a large, castle-like structure ahead. Everything looks really clear, and for a moment I wonder if I am dreaming. I RC quickly, looking at my hand, and it's normal, so I dismiss the thought (IRL, I usually do 2-3 RCs and tend to double-check them -_-). Still, I think to myself that after this I'd probably know for sure the next time I'd be dreaming. I wake up.

If The Nearly Lucid Japanese School were my dream:
The level of Reality in this dream seems significant. I question it, but still things seem real. Personally, for me, I would wonder whether a trip to Japan might be possible at some point in my life.
If it felt right, I would I focus my imagination on the Bridge from this dream, imagine how such a trip might be possible.
Have you been to Japan? What interests you about it?
