Lucid dream

vuzh"Lucid" is a good word for lucid dreams. When I become aware, everything in the dream becomes more clear. It's the strangest state to be still dreaming, but have a sense of control (one which I am coming to think of as arbitrary or illusory).
In my dream, I can only recall the details of the part after I became lucid. I vaguely can recall that, before, I was wandering the same space and had met the same people.
I was in a strange hybrid space, a long, twisting and branching hallway connecting many rooms with doors. It was a place that was simultaneously a shopping mall, a suite of business offices, a hospital and a residential apartment or dormitory.
When I became lucid I was in a room with a hospital bed and many filing drawers and papers. There was a display tree where some very strange and beautifully decorated tea cups were. I picked up and admired several of them. Next to the tree of cups were a bunch of candles that were burning.
I remembered that a woman and I had been in a sexual flirtation earlier, but that I had broken it off. I decided to return to her. I backtracked through the hallways (in some ways the hallways also resembled a street market, as they were filled with "stuff").
I asked if she was still interested in sexy times and she was and invited me into her room. The room had a futon on the floor, chairs, bookshelves, some psychedelic posters and a couple of black and white long-haired cats, who ran & hid, not recognizing me.
I kept repeatedly asking consent for everything (I wonder if this is a response to my distress at reading the testimonies of sexual assault survivors of Harvey Weinstein & others).
She gave me a condom which was ill-fitting and very uncomfortable.
I don't remember much after that, so the lucid part of the dream faded, but perhaps the dream went on.
