Last night I had quite a time trying to get to sleep. It was just so cold that I couldn't warm up, and when I finally did get to sleep, I was waking up every hour or so with the only thing I remembered each time from my dreams being wasps. *laughs* I think it must have been about 4 or 5am before I finally managed to settle down properly.
Expect worse than usual levels of coherency, I've only been up about 10 minutes. XD

I recall being part of a group who were moving to an alien planet to live. There wasn't a huge fanfare about it, it seemed like it was about as normal as moving from one city to another. I don't recall being told the name of the planet, just that it always had blue skies and sunshine.
I was, at the time, in the launch area for a 'passenger rocket' that would take us to our location. It looked kind of like a space shuttle, with a lot more windows down it, and no 'fins' at the sides. There was a fair amount of bustle around the area as people prepared to board, via a gangplank that extended from somewhere near the top of the vehicle. There was no luggage anywhere, I just assumed that it was already on board. There was also no noise, despite the location and crowd of people moving to and fro.
The dream then transitioned to being on the vehicle as it traveled to its destination. The inside looked similar to an aeroplane, but more spacious. The windows at the sides were large, like regular house windows, instead of the tiny, oval plane ones. Like before, it was very quiet. There was no engine sound or chatter. It was kind of eerie.
Next, we were on the alien planet. Like I was told, the sky was a brilliant blue, and it was sunny and bright. The area that I was walking down was a quiet street, that had white buildings with a sort of Asian design about them, particularly the roofing. There were little stalls selling trinkets and fruit dotted around, but at this time I was more interested in finding where I was supposed to be living. One of the people in the group then pointed out one of the buildings on the street, and we headed inside.
The inside was one large, rectangular room. There was windows lining one wall, which, through the curtains, I could see the clear sky, and the roof of the building next door. The walls themselves in the room were painted a pale shade of blue, though the floor was just floorboards.
One of the people in the group began talking about splicing creatures together, which was some sort of hobby in this world. They then pulled out from their pocket a tiny, plastic red hippo, and a green animal of undetermined species. All I can recall from it was that it had four legs. They then smushed the models together, and it created a small series of pops and smoke. The result of their 'splice' was a lump of Tigers Eye and a bipedal cartoon animal, who I think was a dog.
They gave me the Tigers Eye, and then the dream transitioned to me sitting next to a park fence, looking at it. Turning it over in my hands, I noticed the gem having a sort of tartan pattern to its sheen. Whilst I was observing this, a little old lady came up and sat beside me to watch. She commented on the gem, saying that it was quite a rare specimen of the substance, and that she would love it if I could give her a slice of it. I decided to do just that, when I 'woke up'.
Only I didn't, really. I found myself on the floor of the house I'd apparently moved into. Realising this, I quickly figured out that I was still in my dream, and got up out of my floor-bed ( I suppose it was a futon, but I don't recall anything other than having a sheet ). I decided to head to the windows of the room and look outside. I became rather disappointed when I realised that the blue sky and roofs of the building was all that was out there. Much like the edge of scenery in a computer game, the buildings just 'cut off' when out of the expected line of sight.
I tried closing my eyes a few times, to try and see if the scenery would change to something maybe a little less boring, and at one point it seemed to become some people playing in the sea, though the cut off roof was still floating there. I decided to give up with that and headed outside.
I went down to one of the vendors of the stalls, to see what they had for sale. He was mainly selling bananas of varying degrees of rottenness, some of which looked like they'd been squashed. I decided, though, just to see how things went, to try and buy some less gross looking ones. He asked me for "55" for the spoiled fruit, and I looked in a wallet I had for the money. I had a whole lot of 5 pence piece coins, but that wasn't what he was after. He sifted through a pocket, lifting a coin of his own to show what the currency of the world was like. Apparently it was little white discs with a black dot in the middle, of which I had none of.
The vendor himself looked like an overweight man in a tank top and jeans, with short black hair and a goatee. He had tanned skin, though his arms and fingers had suction cups all along them.
I woke up for real after that.

Thoughts & observations:
Well... that was... interesting? I don't really have much to say on this dream.
Probably the most disappointing lucid experience I've had. XD
Blue room with floorboards again. Hmmm.
Next time I visit an alien planet, I must remember to stop by the bureau de change. *nod nod*
