Driving around in my UPS truck, visiting people and shopping.

Level of Lucidity (1-10): 5 | Dream Signs: UPS truck, coed, bikini, shopping, | Mood: Uncomfortable
Last night's sleep was segmented, consisting of a 2-hour nap followed a few hours later by a more substantial 6-hour sleep. It was during the 2nd sleep period that I experienced two dreams of moderate lucidity. Both of these dreams were experienced with full-color, sound, and tactile senses, as if I was actively participating in the events and seeing them through my own eyes, etc.
The first dream found me driving my UPS delivery truck. (In real life I am a retired UPS man. Though I've been away from the company for over a decade, it still haunts my dreams.) I was driving at various locations around a town where I used to deliver in real life.
Strangely enough I wasn't concerned at all with the delivery or pick up of packages, nor was I worried about staying on schedule or meeting deadlines. Instead, I was visiting people and searching for something in this 3-part dream.
- The first part found me visiting a (fictional) friend who was running a
(fictional) specialty bookstore in a converted gas station. I spent a
fair amount of time looking at new books he had in stock and watching
parts of some new videos he had acquired.
- After leaving his store, the second part of the dream found me driving
through a residental neighborhood where lots of college students lived,
and admiring the coeds who were laying out, sun-bathing. Parking my
truck in an alley beside one house, I climbed out and started talking
to one girl who was almost wearing her bikini. She invited me onto her
front porch where we enjoyed some lemonade... and each other.
- Saying goodby to the girl, I then drove to a Home Depot where, assisted
by a floor clerk, I searched in vain for some exotic kind of cement the
store apparently didn't have in stock, though they were supposed to.
Though the first two parts of this dream were nice and enjoyable, the last part was frustrating.
The second dream of the night found me married and grocery shopping.
Like the first dream, this took place on a hot summer day. The wife and I were grocery shopping in a large, each of us pushing our own carts. Thou we were working with a limited budget, something she knew well, she insisted on loading up her cart with an immense quantity of fresh vegetables, much more than we could possibly store at home in our small kitchen. When we reached the checkout lanes, she insisted on running her load of produce past the register with mine. The total grocery bill for this shopping trip was much more than I could afford. She walked out of the store with her nose in the air, leaving me to deal with the checkout clerk.
This second dream almost falls into the nightmare category. It left me both angry and frustrated.
