I was going to do a WBTB, but I forgot to set the alarm and slept straight through the night...
Dream-
I was at some place for some sort of month long competition. It was really odd, they stick you out in the middle of nowhere, then they took us to a supermarket where we could buy anything so long as each of us did not go over a $3000 limit. I took a rice basket [not the typical kind, one that I think I've seen the the Philippines before, it was more like a bowl shaped version of this- http://www.siamese-style.com/RiceTosserThb.jpg] and began to fill my basket with vegetables, a steak, and other ingredients for me to cook with. At one point I left my basket unattended. My stuff was stolen and when I reported it to the money providers, they replaced all of my missing goods. [I was thinking that if it were a dream they'd do that and they did, but I didn't take the hint...] My roommate was supposed to watch it but as you can guess, he didn't.
Later on in the dream I find myself arguing with Rai-chan and Kev over sake bottles and cups. He wanted red, she wanted something else, and I wanted young jade ones. In the end I won. I ended up camping out in the supermarket with them... So over all, it was a random dream.

One dream. A bit choppy, there were parts that just skipped out on me, but in total it was three days. Too bad I can't remember all three days from start to finish, that would've been great.
Dream-
I think we were in Japan, that or China. That or a very convincingly realistic China/Japan town. All three days I went shopping with two friends. Maro-chan was there at one point and so was Ken. The two friends that were always with me were DCs.
Each day overall went like this; hang out at the outdoor bar next to the road, shop around, stop by at a bakery for some buns for lunch. Each day was unique in its own sense and there were points where I was questioning the reality of the dream ['Was I dreaming?' 'Is this a dream?' etc.].
On day one, the only clear feature was that we split the taxi fare and decided not to use one again, it wasn't worth it.
On day two we went into a gift shop were my two DCs became Ken and Maro-chan. I saw the overpriced goods and couldn't blame Ken for blurting out, "$6 for a key chain?!? No way!" So we left without buying anything.
The last day was by far my most vivid point of the dream where I was most aware of the secenry and all. We chatted with the bar owners and I goofed around, we talked about something unusual...but it's all a blur now... As we walked to the bakery, a strange woman came by and stared at me. With her fan, she motioned for me to come to her. The DCs didn't want to go, but I did, so I yelled out, "I'll catch up with you later," and followed her. I found myself in a room that apparently was dedicated to Inari, the important rice/fox god that is celebrated in November in Kyoto, Japan. [I think that's caused by me staring at Inari statues Maro-chan printed for her business project, though I find it a funny coincidence that Inari is celebrated around the time of, maybe even on, my birthday]
The fallen half human half Inari statue in the center of the indented floor looked life-like with its claws grasping the air. The tapestry to its right hung with a such majesty it left me awe-struck. The rest of the room was lavished in silk curtains, cushions, and decorations. I thought I saw something move from the corner of my eye so I turned around to face the Inari-human statue again. It came to life. I wasn't shocked, though that's not unusual for me in my dreams [a lack of shock]. He explained the situation to me, about the Inari god, who actually was a goddess, his duty to protect her, the offer for me to become an Inari god[dess] and take her place.
I was so close to becoming lucid as thoughts flew through my mind, "Why would she need to stop being a goddess? Is this some sort of scheme to benefit themselves? Wait, people can't become gods... though they might still believe in them since they're not a monotheistic religion... so does that make these gods demons?" If I only had focused on the first part about people not being able to become gods, I would have become lucid. He never got my answer though. The alarm clock beat me to it.
