memorable

I pulled an all-nighter on the 17th, so I didn't do a dream journal entry. This night, I was planning on just taking a break, but I felt I needed to write down this dream. I had other dreams, but this one stood out.

I'm probably missing a few details, but this is the general gist of it.

The dream started out, and I was this character in a TV show. I'm pretty sure I was Robert DeNiro. The dream started in the middle of the show, so I didn't know what was going on. This black guy, who I think was my partner, was standing next to me, and we were talking to this guy in front of us, who was supposed to be giving us orders or something. We were in this well-lit room with blue pipes all around. Anyway, the guy giving us orders said, "So then, we gotta go after him, and beat him up." I interrupted him with, "I'm sorry, who's 'him'? I just got here, so I don't know the plot or what's going on." He specified that it was just this guy who we needed to beat up. I wasn't okay with that. So then we're walking through the halls of my school, which is like a mix between my high school and my elementary school, and I'm trying to avoid this group I'm supposed to be with to beat up the guy. My dream cut to a shot of them beating up this random guy, and he was pinned down in this circle they formed. I knew I was breaking this HUGE rule by not helping them, so I was getting a little scared. While avoiding them and trying to get away, I ran into Kate in the hall. She was confused and I was a little distraught so I began explaining to her, "Look, I was watching this show, and then I was in the show, but my character was having this dream where he was watching the show too, so we both didn't know what was going on, but now I'm not with them, and I'm supposed to be and they might come after me and so we probably need to hide." At this point I wasn't DeNiro anymore. But anyway, we go to this room and we build these large, wooden, towering platforms, which were layered on top of each other. The entrance to the room we were in was down a flight of stairs and through a door. I knew we weren't hidden very well. The room itself was too large to be inside any building, and instead of a ceiling, you could see the night sky through these branches and leaves. There were stacks and stacks of random objects and items (TV's, paint cans, old furniture, wooden scraps) off to the right, and there was a large, pink/violet, window to the left which seemed to be a shimmering, physical embodiment of magic. The platforms we built were very tall, and we hid on the top one. We had all of these bags of money, and we spread them around the top platform with us, and our plan was that if they entered the room to look for us, we would lay down flat on the platform, and for some reason this was supposed to make us hidden.

Anyway, we stayed hidden on that platform for a few days, although the sky remained night. Over the course of the days, Kate and I stayed mostly silent towards each other, although there was this strange, emotional connection between us that I wouldn't describe as love or friendship, but they are the first words that come to mind. Really, it felt like a pure feeling of familiarity, or just a "knowing" feeling. At the same time it felt like she was rejecting a love that I didn't even have for her. Better put, we knew that we were going to die, and because of this, we felt closer, although we didn't love each other. This feeling seemed to alternate with an unrequited love feeling. It was very strange. As the days passed, Kate and I got intimate a few times, perhaps out of boredom, and there was always a sense of doom in the air, as if I was just waiting for them to find us and kill us. I was sad and a little worried, but I knew there was nothing we could do about it. This is what was going to happen, no buts about it. Sometimes, it seemed like I knew this wasn't going to end well, but as far as she was concerned, things weren't that bad. Kate seemed unhappy for the whole time we stayed on that platform, and while there were times where we would just lay down, her head upon my shoulder, and gaze up at the night sky, it was like she only did this because she knew that this was the last moments of her life. A feeling of dread overthrew any feeling of love, or familiarity I may have felt in the dream, because I knew I got us into this mess, and it was all my fault that she was going to die. I remember on one of the days, I found these capsules. Each capsule, when used, would fire off like a rocket into the sky and explode like a firework. It was very pretty. I showed these to Kate to try to cheer her up, but it didn't work.

On the final day, we heard a group of people coming down the stairs. Kate and I laid down on the platform like our original plan, although I knew this wasn't going to really keep us hidden for long. I felt such sorrow and guilt for dragging her into this. The group entered the room, and looked around for a bit. They were all wearing these police-like uniforms, with astronaut helmets that had police lights on top. Their heads were very round, and their bodies were very cartoonishly shaped. After a few tense seconds, they looked up, and saw us. They started shooting at us with these guns that weren't flamethrowers, but shot flames. The flames hit some of the paint cans, and they exploded as if they were reserves of gasoline. Kate and I were immediately set on fire, and melted in the most violent and gruesome display of death I had ever dreamed of.

After this, I awoke on top of the platform, in daylight (still dreaming), with Kate nowhere in sight. I was a little confused and worried about this, but I knew it was only a matter of time before the group comes and destroys the place, and my priority was leaving. As I climbed down from the platform, I felt guilty. I felt like I was cheating Kate, and just leaving her there, even though I knew she wasn't there. I felt like a hypocrite, as if I kept her there because we had no choice but to die, but here I was climbing down to leave. When I reached the bottom, I walked over to the giant window and opened it. I looked back at the platform, which was now two couches on the ground with blankets on them. One blanket in particular looked as if someone had just gotten out of it, with one corner folded open. Running out of time, I quickly ran over to it, scrambled it around so that it looked like it had been there for ages (dream logic), and ran back to window. I thought about hanging off of the ledge of the window until they came and went, but then I noticed this floating, translucent, magic block that I could stand on. It was the same, shimmering, pink/violet color of the window. I climbed on top of it. I looked back at the room, where I could see the group now entering. Then I looked up at the moon while the block ascended into the stars.

Still sick, so no WBTB. No LD.

We'll go from vague to vivid on this one.

There was one part that had something to do with Jenn, and a phone or something.

I remember one part I was in the old house, and we had this puppy, and it was defective or something, so I threw it in the trash. I remember seeing the trash wriggle around as the puppy was jumping around inside. Don't worry it was DE that it was not a real puppy, so no pets were harmed in the dream. Then I went to the living room to watch TV with Sean. We had a crap ton of channels, and we put on something about music, or boxing. Something like that.

There was also this part where Brian, Mom, and I were in this multicolored hotel. Each wall had a different color, and the color was bright and very solid, like Microsoft Paint colors. The place was very blocky as well, so every time the walls would curve or something, they instead formed a corner, and a whole new flat surface. And each flat surface was a different color. Magenta, lime green, and yellow are the first ones that come to mind. Anyway, These bad guy(s) with gun(s) were coming to the hotel. Brian tried to stop them, but was unsuccessful. I called 911, and I told them I was at this hotel, and they said they were on their way. But when I hung up, I realised that I never actually told them the address of the hotel. There was also this one part with cartoon characters or something.

Then, I had a pretty interesting dream where I had a bunch of pets, and they were all Pokemon. This part of the dream took place in my house (I was living on my own) and it was late at night, raining outside, and very dark. I was in the kitchen, and the only light that allowed me to see was from the moonlight outside, and it bathed the kitchen in a dim light, but the color wasn't pale. It was more like there was just a dim light on inside the house. The one half of the kitchen was vaguely reminiscent of the kitchen in my current house, but with some alteration in the position of the cabinets. the second half was completely made up. If I face away from the counters and cabinets, I could walk forward and go through a doorway on the left, which led to a hallway and stairs instead of a living room like usual. There were only walls on the right of me, and past the door was a white fridge, not unlike the fridge I used to have in my old house. Beyond the fridge was a window, and it was darker than you could imagine outside, yet this was the window that let the light in, strangely enough. The only Pokemon I remember seeing were Rattata and Zapdos. I looked over by where the fridge was and noticed that Zapdos was laying motionless on the floor. Next to him was the Rattata. Anyway I wasn't sad that my favorite Pokemon died because I thought, "Hell, I'll just make another one." I know there was a part where I had this cook book-like instructional guide on how to build another Zapdos, and his legs were a main ingredient, but I don't remember much else. Anyway the next part of this dream had nothing to do with the first part, but you could tell it took place in the same setting, with the same vibe in the air, and the same dark night. Mom found out she had cancer, and she came into my room to tell me. My room had a BUNCH of posters everywhere, but they were all the same, but they were giving off a more "decoration" vibe than useless posters. Sean and Brian were in my room as well. I asked Mom how we would be able to afford treatment. Then she told me we would have to move very far away because of all of this. Then there was this weird part where there was this weird visual filter that made it so you could see sound via waves. So if you heard a C note, you saw this metal wire wave across your vision in the correct frequency.

The last dream I had started out with Darth Vader and I, along with some mutual friend, and we were in this restaurant. The place was very spacious, and had a lot of TVs all over the walls, the same way Applebee's has knick-knacks all over their walls. The spaces where you could see the walls were light blue, and there were also giant windows in which you could see outside. The table we were sitting at was square and very small. Darth Vader and I were play-fighting with fake light sabers, and I swear I chopped off his arm like ten times. We got into an argument about this he told me he has this invisible shield that covers most of his front upper torso, and his hands were in that area, so they didn't get chopped off. I said he should have mentioned this in the first place. Then I was outside in a bunch of snow with class at school. We had to slide things down this hill into this little mound of snow for some reason. Then I was in school, and it was the second day, so everyone was still getting used to their schedules. The school was set up differently, but oddly, it was the same setup as in a previous dream. The main hallway was unnecessarily wide, as was the lunch room. In my dream, I was a pretty popular guy, like in middle school. Anyway, I was still used to the schedule I had the year before, so instead of going to class, I went to lunch. In my dream, Kate, Stephanie, and Jenn were all best friends or something. I was sitting in lunch for a while, and I realised this wasn't where I was supposed to be, and I looked up at Kate, Stephanie, and Jenn, and I said something like, "Oh no! I didn't miss much did I?" or, "This isn't the right class, is it?" I got up and went to my real class, which was this elective writing class. Kyle was in this class (why does he feel the need to make a cameo appearance in all of my dreams?) and so was Cassandra. Our assignment was to draw these UFO's and a lot of people were copying each other, even though we had a template to copy. Cassandra came up to me, and said something about the assignment, or made some sort of joke. Then, I was thinking about something (it wasn't important) and then Kate, Stephanie, and Jenn, who were also in the class looked at me. Jenn said, "Is everything alright?" It's interesting that this happened because in real life, back in 9th grade, I felt like my friends were ditching me (spoiler: they were) and I never found out why. I'm sure it was nothing personal. It was more like we just drifted apart. But anyway, I was spacing out one say in class thinking about this, and Jenn asked me if I was alright. I had a huge crush on Jenn at the time, and I didn't want to seem like a debbie downer, so I said, "No, I'm fine, why?" She said, "Because you look worried." I replied with, "No, I'm good." I always wondered what would have happened if I actually talked to her about it. But anyway, in the dream, I responded with one of those wobbly hand signs that mean, "Ehhh...kinda so-so." Then I said, "Not really," and they gave me this worried look. Since I was actually feeling fine, I reassured to them, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me, I'm good." Only this time, I meant it.

Feels good, man.

Oh, also in the same dream, Iyannah and Martha were in the class, and both were really hot, but they were sisters, and both of their names were Ibouku, and they had different last names. Martha caught me staring at her, and she thought I had a crush on her.

I don't mean to bring my personal life onto here, I just felt the dream needed explaining.

I had an involuntary WBTB when I woke up with a fever at 6:30 AM. I had to force myself to write down a few key words in my dream journal, but then I dropped my pen, and I wasn't going to get up to find it.

First, I was in the old house, which was a lot bigger. There had been word of a plane that was going to drop this bomb. I think the bomb was supposed to cleanse the area, like it was a good thing, but it also had potential to be dangerous. The whole neighborhood was sitting outside on our lawn, and they were worried that a second degree flood was going to happen, and if it did, we would all die because there would be no one to save us. Brian told us to gather just the important items, and to close and lock all of the windows and doors. Only the front door was left open. Then we heard the sounds of plane approaching. I looked out the front door to see an incredibly low flying airplane that flew away from our house, so it would have come from the backyard. It was a pretty amazing sight. I also saw an insignia on the plane that indicated that this was the one that would drop the bomb. When it was out of sight, we all felt a big rumble. The plane had dropped the bomb in our backyard. We all hit the deck, and I remember worrying that it was going to be deadly. The bomb exploded and an orange gas swiftly rushed past us and the house from the backyard.

Then I was playing this Super Nintendo game that looked like it could have been on the Playstation 2. It looked like the guy from Uncharted, but it wasn't, and the game was that you had to shoot these alien monster things that were following you around, but the catch was that everything was almost in pitch black. This dream then shifted to first person, and I was the guy. I was in this room that had three paths to choose from. While I was deciding which way to go, I had to keep charging this gun and shooting the monsters that came at me from the right. Since the right path was almost pitch black, and the forward path was cold and icy, and the back path is where I came from, I chose to go left. It was a lot brighter in this path, and part of the game was that you can subdue enemies and then take control of them. At one point, the dream cut to a shot of me in a room with Mom and Brian, and I was playing the game. There was also this one part where there was this tourist attraction in these ruins, which I'm guessing took place in the same setting as the video game. The tourist attraction was this really long zip line that crossed this very large body of water. On the zip line were carts that you had to stand on and hold onto this pole so you don't fall into the water that was like a mile down. Below in the water was a giant, swirling whirlpool. It was a very unsafe tourist attraction.

There was a small part of a dream where Finn and Jake from Adventure Time were dream sharing and having an adventure in it. Then Finn said, "Yo dude, I gotta go to the bathroom." Then they woke up. There was also this glimpse of the Futurama characters looking down this gigantic hole in the ground.

Every time I woke up throughout the night, I would still be in a slight dream state, and I would get another "letter" of a band name or something. It was weird. There were a lot of dreams that involved bands this night. I don't remember them specifically though.

The last one I remember is that Sean and I had a babysitter, and she was really hot, and I decided to make a move, so when she was going to meet me in the bathroom (I don't know why) I went there first and stripped naked so she would walk in on me with no clothes on. She never came, and I was waiting for some time. I got annoyed, got dressed, and went to see what was taking her so long. She was making sandwiches in the kitchen, like hoagies and whatnot. I said fuck it, and I went to the living room to go sit down. The furniture was all rearranged, and it was DE that my mom did this. Sean and I were complaining that the way it was arranged was stupid because now you had to walk around everything, because it was all in the way, and for some reason the arrangement was making it physically hard to sit down. Sean was playing Pokemon Red, and I was watching. In the dream, it was in first person, and I mentioned that it was a lot different than Yellow Version, which is a top down game.

There was also a dream that had a hotel room, but that's all I know.

No MILD, no WILD. I tried WBTB, and I was so tired that I don't really remember it.

And I honestly have no idea if I had a lucid dream or not.

First, I had a dream that St. Vincent (musician) brought us Chinese food after we ordered it. It was pretty cool. Then there was something to do with Metal Gear Solid.

Then, there was this part where Ephraim and I were walking around this carnival place, and I know a girl was involved, but I can't remember who. There was also this band that I think he was a part of. We sat down to eat with them at one part.

The last vague dream I had was that Brian and Mom were working on something, and they really made progress ,so they invited me outside to see. But, the thing is, there was nothing there. They brought to the backyard, but it was this really small concrete backyard with fences all around to other really small concrete backyards. It was like a backyard in Philly. There was snow everywhere. It was so deep in some spots that it came up to my thigh. Brian handed me some raw eggs. For some reason, we were throwing them at the ground. I remember stepping forward to the middle of the backyard, and worrying that my shoes were going to get snow in them. The wall of the building next to us was brick, and definitely not our house. Anyway, after we cracked some eggs on the snow, I got bored and was going to just throw mine as far as I can, when Brian advised against it. I said I was only going to throw it and see if it hit a house, and the dream ended there.

Next, I was in this very big city. The best description would be Isle Delfino from Super Mario Sunshine, but it was a lot more open, and realistic. This part of the dream was very brief and in third person. I was on top of this bridge looking at the far end of the city. I saw a DE villain.

All of a sudden, I found myself in my old house. I was in my mom's room, and I got up and went to my own room. I got this sheet music for...I forget what song. Anyway, I went back to my mom's room, and the villain was there on my mom's bed. He wasn't so much a villain as he was just some random guy that had DE bad intentions. He didn't do anything though. Anyway, I asked him what he was doing here, and he said he was going on vacation. I sighed and went back to my room. I got a change of clothes (one change of clothes) and brought it back to my mom's room. I threw the clothes on the bed and sat down as the room started to move. It was like how when ships leave the harbor, and in those movies where the characters make it just in time and they jump onto the ramp up to the boat. Well, the whole room started to move outward, as if it was leaving a harbor. I got a little worried, and got up and went to the hallway. I asked the guy when we would be back from vacation. He replied with, "A forest." I clarified, "No, WHEN are you coming back?" I walked back into the room, and knew I still had little time to make a decision. He replied with, "Oh, I don't know. I was thinking some time around...April?" I screamed, "APRIL!?" Was this guy nuts? I had stuff to do today! I grabbed my clothes, and ran back to the hallway just as the ramp to the room was too far away. I told him if he got bored, there is sheet music I printed out and left on the bed. He immediately took interest to it, and laid on his stomach to read it. He may have been able to read the tune without an instrument.

This next part is pretty confusing, and slightly frustrating. You see, I was in the old house watching TV I think. Ashley was sitting next to me on the couch, and I was on the end by the window. I may have been eating a meal as well. I stopped for a second. I looked at my hands. "One, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Okay now the other ha-wait a minute..." I stood up and looked at Ashley, "Am I dreaming?" She looked right at me and said, "Well, yes." I immediately remembered to rub my hands together to make the dream more vivid, which it did, and I constantly told myself I was dreaming as to not lose my lucidity.

Now this may seem all fine and dandy, but I'm not sure this was actually a lucid dream. At most, I'd say it was the least lucid one could ever be, or not lucid at all. I say this because I didn't remember it upon waking, and I wasn't "conscious" per se. It felt more like I was going through the motions, as if the dream was just telling me that, "Oh you usually look at your hands first, then you were supposed to rub them together, etc." Not to mention, the dream sequence ended as soon as I rubbed my hands together. It went straight into the next dream, and I didn't remember the other one, and I wasn't "lucid" in any sense. My biggest thing, though, is that I wasn't "thinking", but rather it felt more like the dream was doing the thinking for me, if that makes any sense.

I also may have had a false awakening. I think after this fake lucid dream, I went to my dream journal and wrote down the events of the bed/vacation dream. It was so vivid, and clear, that when I actually woke up, I looked at my dream journal and was confused how there wasn't anything about the dream.

Anyhow, the final dream took place in a set-up-differently school. I was in the principal's office, visiting, as I had already graduated. I was to meet with the principal, or was also the president of the United States of America. So the character kept morphing from George Washington to Dr. Morris, my principal from 5th grade, and back. Anyway, I felt honored, and went over to meet her/him. When I got to where they were, they showed me a computer screen. They said that this was the upcoming picture prompt test, and since I graduated already, I could see it. The picture came up, and It was the cast of The Magic School bus, and Arthur, climbing on these statues of animals. They were at the zoo. Then the principal looked at me and said, "Is this something you would be able to write a story on?" I said, "Yeah, I would be worried that the kids will just write about The Magic School bus, and not something original." She agreed and said she thought the same thing, and we needed to think of a way around that problem. I suggested that we get a bunch of random kids together, and we find statues like the ones in the picture, and we take their pictures individually, so that we could imitate the picture. She said, "I hope you aren't serious about that idea." I realised that it sounded a bit creepy, but I persisted, "Yes, I was serious. We could pull it off." Just then, I was in the presence of Green Day. The drummer wasn't there, though, and the bass player was playing a keyboard. The singer started up a song, and I remember thinking that this song has flute in it (DE song), and I wondered how they would pull it off. Just when the flute would come in, the bass player started playing the part on the keyboard. The flute's part was to play harmonies with the singer's tune, and it worked pretty well. Then, the band vanished, and I was left to mess around with the keyboard. I noticed that some keys light up, and I was supposed to hit them in order. I turned to this guy next to me, and I was like, "Is it like Simon? Or do I just hit whatever?" He didn't say anything, and I turned back to the keyboard. Hank Hill, from King Of The Hill, was on every key now, and I turned to the guy I asked about the keys, and said, "I love King Of The Hill. It's such an under-rated show. He turns to me, and in the most arrogant, condescending voice says, "Oh god! King Of The Hill is the worst sho I have ever seen. I can't believe you watch it." Then Lenny walked up (SUPER religious kid). It was DE that they were in the same club, and that they weren't allowed to like King Of The Hill or something. So I figured Lenny would feel the same way, so I walked away.

I was still in the school, but now I was trying to get...somewhere I don't even remember. Anyway, I was wearing this back pack with a yellow sign on the back that said: YES. This short kid behind me had one that had a red sign on the back that said: NO. It was like there were tow sides to a big argument in the school or something. We were running up these stairs, and he was following behind me. So this short, annoying kept trying to get close and trip me from behind. I was getting annoying, and started to skip steps, he followed suit, and now when he got close, I would grab onto the railing, and jerk myself backwards, so I would hit him as he tried to run up to me. Eventually, this kid behind me went for gold, and hopped up onto my back pack (he was small enough). I freaked out, and leaned back, so that he would fall off. I was successful, and I turned around to see this kid very violently and painfully smack his head on the railing with his full body weight, and then tumble down the stairs to a landing. I felt extremely bad, and went up to the kid and said, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Are you alright? I'm really, really sorry." He got up, like it was nothing, and prepared to fight me for knocking him off of me. I knew he was no threat so I said, "Go ahead, hit me. We'll be even." I took off my back pack, and positioned myself so that he would hit my right shoulder. He took a bunch of swings, and repeatedly and swiftly hit me on my shoulder. I faked, "Ooooowww, oh you got me. Shit that hurts. Alright see ya." I put my back pack on and left on the other side of the landing, which had a ramp down to a door, which led to a hallway. I walked along the hallway thinking that I probably ruined that kid's whole day. I got to the lunch room. It was set up so differently, that I can't really call it a lunch room. We didn't eat, but we chose where we got to sit, and it was more like an auditorium. As I walked up to the doors to the room, there was a lot of commotion going on. I saw some chick kiss this Ed kid I knew. Then I saw this other dude kiss Ed. It wasn't gay in the dream, it was actually more like a joke because he couldn't get a kiss from the girl because she was dating Ed, so he kissed Ed on the cheek so he could get a taste of the girl. I walked into the room, and saw a bunch of rows or wooden seats. It was reminiscent of a congressional hall, but everything was bright, and school-vibed.

Woke up after that.

I slept over a friend's house this night, so I didn't have my dream journal with me.

However, I do remember having one dream that I remembered until now. I get the feeling that JD from Scrubs was there, but I can't be sure.

It is worth noting that I almost had a DEILD. I woke up, and kept my eyes closed and didn't move. Then I started feeling the vibrations of sleep paralysis, but, like before, I forgot what to do, and I woke up. I also got extremely excited/nervous/slightly scared so my heart started pounding. I'll try to keep my cool next time.

I also remember that I felt this weird sensation of my body floating around, or swaying back and forth. Perhaps I almost had an OBE? It's a very unique and fascinating feeling.

No WBTB, or MILD. I tried DEILD but forgot. I will try all three tonight.

All of these dreams seemed related, but involved different characters. It was as if the characters morphed into different appearances.

To kick things off, I was in the old house in my mother's room. I was lying in bed with Anthony just having a chat. Mrs. Gunther-Brown, my music theory teacher from high school, was there and the three of us got into a discrepancy over her ability to sing certain genres, or something of the like. Anthony was on my side, and obviously she was on hers. The argument was only DE, but afterwards, she went into the bathroom to get a shower. While she was in there, she started singing. What we could hear in the room was not just her vocals, but a whole accompaniment of various instruments. Anthony and I started complaining. I used a pillow to cover my ears. I discovered that I could change the sound of her singing by bending the pillow, as if the sound waves were wrapping around the pillow in a different way. Bending the pillow more made her singing sound more tinny, and a flatter pillow meant a more crisp sound. I made a comment about it to Anthony saying something like, "isn't it funny how something so simple like this can make such a big difference?" He replied with, "She's still horrible." I was about to agree when suddenly the song changed. It sounded like a jazz/funk fusion, not unlike Hiromi Uehara's work. I said, "wait, this actually sounds pretty good." I got up to go to the bathroom to apologise about Anthony and I making fun of her. She wasn't there. And my bathroom looked very different and unusual. Instead of the normal beige walls, tile floor, and small size, I was greeted with a fairly larger (although still pretty small) room with wooden floors, and a strange looking sink with nothing in it. There was a white shower curtain behind me, which I never actually turned around to see, and where the toilet usually was, was now just a wooden floor, and across from it where the sink goes were these wooden swingy doors, like in old west saloons. They may ave led to a toilet, but I don't know. The sink was on the left wehn you walk into the room. In between the sink and the saloon doors was a strange contraption placed on the floor. What I was about to do would start a plot that would unravel in the dreams to come. I cannot describe the contraption, mostly because I don't clearly remember what it looked like. But I also cannot describe it because it didn't seem to take any definite shape. It was a solid object, but it was so conjumbled, as if someone went on Microsoft Paint, made a bunch of lines, turned them into wood, and put it on the floor, but at the same time it looked nothing like that. There were tiny, mini people on the floor by the contraption. They seemed to be hindered by the contraption in some way, so I fixed the contraption so that they could be...for lack of a better word, better. As it turns out, my teacher set up the contraption so that these mini people, who were evil, would be trapped in it forever. I messed all of that up.

Everything that happens next may be out of order.

The saloon doors morphed into a TV, and I was watching a bunch of child actors, one of which I knew as my childhood friend, Tyler. They gathered around this table, and suddenly I was in TV, in the setting of where the children were. Except now I was on in a field. What was taking place in this field was a situation similar to the Holocaust, and I was on the bad side, and a major figure. We weren't going after Jewish people, in fact, I don't think there were any distinctive features about the people we had captured, but they were all wearing red shirts, and my side was all wearing blue shirts. This field was grassy, and had a hill to the right. There was a path leading to the hill, and that same path, going in the other direction, went and circled around a section of the field. We were walking across this section of the field. I was with another person in a blue shirt. He was talking to someone in a red shirt, as if trying to calm him down. As we neared the other side, the blue shirt said for him to go now, because we had to be somewhere. As the red shirt went towards a group of red shirts, I patted him on the back, as to grant him some form of solace. As I neared the other side of this field with the other blue shirt, I saw on my left, a mother saying "goodbye, I love you" to her daughter. There was also this strange, carnival-like booth on wheels (they exist in real life, but I don't know what they are called). We passed this and kept going straight to another hill. We started to climb it.

The next thing I remember is this explorer character (I was merely observing this entire part), like a video game character, running around this cave fighting enemies, getting points. Then he was climbing these strange pipe-like objects with ladders on them. They were all orange, each one taller than the last, and they were in a row. At the top of each was a traffic light with four light bulbs. At the bottom was endless water, as far as you can imagine. The traffic lights were black, and only the bottom light was green, with the rest being red. The lights were timed so that when the green light came on, there was a yellow beam of light shining down from the traffic light onto the top of the pipe, covering the entire space. When the green light came back on again, the yellow beam of light turned off. The traffic lights on each pipe was in an opposite pattern so that one would be off, while the one next to it would be on. The explorer climbed the first pipe on the right, and had to time things right because for some reason he couldn't be in the light. This was a game-like scenario after all. So when the green light came on again, and the light turned off, he climbed on top. Then he turned to the pipe next to him. This dream was in third person, so he was facing my left, to the taller pipe. It really was a lot like a video game. Since the beam of light was on pipe, he waited until the traffic light was almost green. He jumped off his pipe at the last second as to avoid the beam of light on that one, then he changed direction in midair to catch the ladder of the next pipe. He repeated the process, but failed this time. He fell and landed in the water below. The water behind the pipes was dark, and deadly (think Spyro) with sharks. The water elsewhere was clear, safe, and clean. The two waters were right next to each other, and separated right down the center. The explorer landed in the deadly water, and quickly swam back to the safe water. All of a sudden, he was on top of the tallest pipe, which had an opening at the top, and was filled to the brim with water. The explorer had to swim down into the pipe, and under the deadly water to reach an island on the other side of the deadly water. It's important to know that for the past week I have been practicing MILD with the chart that gives you circumstances every day in which you should do a reality check. Doing a RC when you see a traffic light was the one for the day before I had this dream. So when I saw the traffic lights in the dream, I thought to myself, "Too bad I didn't see this yesterday, or I'd be doing a reality check." Well, fuck.

Then I was on 4chan as a girl. This version of 4chan was very civilized. It was implied that they get different privileges on 4chan, and so everything was different. Everything was multicolored in a psychedelic fashion, and I had to hack this girl's computer to get an IP address and password.

After that, I was on these railroad tracks, which may have been at the top of the hill I was heading towards during the Holocaust dream. I was with Mom, and she was making a comment on all of the strange things going on recently (set in motion because of my meddling in the bathroom). She said it was the apocalypse. She started mentioning the seven signs of the apocalypse, which were somehow related to the 4chan thing, because I was looking them up or something. I wish I would have written down these signs, but all I wrote down to remind myself was "7 signs of apocalypse." I know one dealt with having seven waffles in one sitting. I thought to myself, "Let me guess, the seventh sign is that I'm dreaming, huh crazy Mom? Jeez, I really MUST be dreaming." Well, fuck. Again.

Another part of this weird dream was that there was this really futuristic purple hover car, and Superman was driving it on this road (the road also could have been at the top of that hill) with this chick. The road was long and straight, with green pasture on either side. The girl looked exactly like a dude, but had a girly voice for a few seconds. So it was a dude down to the last detail, but it was DE that it was a girl. They got to this building, which was the only building for miles, and went in. It was like a hotel, except it lead into my house.

CUT TO ME IN FIRST PERSON

I'm grabbing this fat chicks boobs. She's really old, I don't want to, but she's really desperate, and I make out with her a little bit. This is taking place in my old house, but not in any existing room. Then, I see Ms. Magro (student teacher from art. Cool gal) come in from one of those futuristic *schwop* doors. The door was on the landing on the step, where the china cabinet usually went. She says something like, "Do you guys have any important information?" I took one look at the fat chick, and said, "Yes we do." We didn't but I wanted Ms. Magro to come in the room so that I wouldn't have to make out with this old lady anymore. The information she was referring to was about some person that went missing, but is vital to winning in this battle for good that has been going on since the incident in the bathroom. Magically, we had important information to tell her when she came in, although we didn't when she asked. I said, "Yes, we know where he is." I got a hold of him on the phone, which was purple and futuristic like the car. The person turned out to be Rainn Wilson, and he answered his phone. The dream cut to a view of him driving the futuristic car on the straight road to no where. He looked at the caller ID, and seeing that it was Ms. Magro, answered the phone saying, "I told you I don't have anymore time." He then hung up, and it was DE that we couldn't call him anymore. It was also DE at this point that Rainn and Magro are ex-lovers. So it was a big misunderstanding, but now we have little hope for the good of humanity.

The last thing I remember, and this part was VERY dramatic, and engaging, and engrossing upon waking, is being back in a building that had the bathroom from the first dream. It wasn't my old house anymore, and there was really only three rooms. One room had bunk beds, and dressers, and was pretty normal, except it had the same wooden style as the bathroom from the first dream. You could leave that room, and there was a DE hallway that I never saw. It led to the other two rooms. One room was the bathroom, and the other was this very strange, morgue-like room. The part with the TV and child actors might have occurred here, but I'm not sure, and pretty doubtful. Anyway, the characters in this part of the dream are four people. Two were the same person, which was some little boy with a come-to-the-side haircut, a white button-up shirt, and black shorts. He had brown hair, and I never got a good look at his face. The other two, have a great deal of mystery surrounding them. One was that weird-looking doctor with the white hair on the cover of the box for Operation. I leave the fourth character's description void for now. The boys passed the bathroom, and got to this weird morgue-room. It looked almost exactly like the bathroom, except there was no shower, no sink, no nothing, except for the drawers with the bodies in them. The non-main character boy saw the doctor open one of the drawers and take a body out. The body was the fourth character and was seen briefly and from behind. It was almost DE that it was the non-main character boy, but I'm unsure. The non-main boy, panicked, ran back to the bunk bed room, and started packing bags to leave because he was freaked out. Suddenly, I was in the place of the main character boy, and I asked in a panicked tone, "Calm down just tell me what you saw." I knew he saw the body, but I needed to know who it was, because this would decide the fate of the Good vs Bad war that I started way back in the beginning, and he uncovered some sort of evil plot. I thought he could have seen himself, but I had to be sure, I had to confirm it. I said again, "You need to tell me what you saw." It was all very rushed and urgent. He took one look at me, with his faceless face, and that was it. I woke up. This is one of those dreams, for me, that leaves you wondering, like the answer would have been this life changing thing. Although it doesn't compare to the secret basement door, which I will forever wonder about. Perhaps someday, I'll open it, and see what's on the other side.

The characters seemed to morph because me and the other blue shirt during the Holocaust was also Superman and the man lady, and me and the old lady, and the two boys.

No WBTB or LD this night. I gave WBTB a break.

We'll go from leas tamount remembered to most.

First, there was something about DBZ, with Gohan (adult) and some fight with Frieza.

Before that, I was in a car, and there was a guy with a gun. I knew he was a threat, and he went to shoot me, so I tried to get the gun away. He ended up shooting my hand, which made me lose grip, and then he emptied the clip on me. It hurt like hell. It was only like 6 or 7 shots, but it felt like forever. The impact of the bullets was a lot of the dream experience. It was indescribable.

Then, I was at school (maybe it was boarding school, but all the same people). There was one part where I was looking for a new phone, and I was digging through a bunch of phones, and it turned out that Jenn had he food was in a wooden basket, and the was one person to each side of the basket. In the basket, there was Japanese cuisine and other weird things. For some reason all of he food was still alive. I ate a tiny little snake, but I didn't realise it was alive, and it also tasted horrible. I remember trying desperately to get the snake pieces out of my mouth by pulling a bunch of body segments out that were attached to other pieces.

After that, I was in this really unstable and shaky trailer. The trailer was huge and was about the size of a normal house, and all the rooms were made of really thin wood. I remember a dirt road leading up to it. Brian said something about staying there or fixing it up, and I was not too happy about having to do that. Grandmom and Grandpop were there (Mom's side), Ashley was there, and Mom was there. I remember thinking that Grandpop shouldn't be staying in a run down trailer like this. The room we were all in was in from the hallway, where you could see other rooms, and there were shelves and trinkets all along the walls. There was also a window by where Grandmom and Grandpop were standing. I mentioned the trailer was shaky and, because of that, Brian walked over to the other side of the room where Grandmom and Grandpop were, just to have the trailer shift. It was like the whole floor tilted to slant towards Brian's side. Then, even though this part wasn't really trailer, but still part of the same dream, I was reading piano music in this big room that looked sort of like the music theory room, but you could kind of tell it was still in the trailer sort of (DE). There were numbers next to a lot of the chords, (by the way, the sheet music looked kind of weird) and I was confused whether the numbers indicated which chord based on the key, or the inversion of the chord. Aunt Cheryl was there, and she tried to explain it to me, but she was only telling me stuff I already knew, like what an inversion is rather than what the numbers indicate.

Next, I was Spongebob in this gladiator place. I think there was stuff before this, like build up to it, but IDR. It started out with me landing in the Colosseum, and I had to find a weapon. First, chose this blue sword, which broke when I picked it up because it was so old. It's important to mention that it was DE that I had been here before, and that I skipped out on them while they were waiting for me to fight in this Colosseum, and that that was hundreds of years ago. I then picked up another sword, a red one this time, and it started to fall apart, but held in place. I went to go battle these crystal lions that were popping out of these gates. I battled them by taking the sword and spinning it so fast that if they touched the sword, they would be destroyed. After only a few hits, my sword broke and I had to retreat. After that, this dog god appeared. This god looked like Suicune and was supposed to be the person running the show, and the person I skipped out on all those years ago. The god started raining down ice crystals very fast and I tried running from them. I wasn't fast enough and a lot hit me. I finally figured out that I had to run in a zigzag motion to avoid all of them. Then, I was in this hall (still in the Colosseum and ready to fight) and the god was dropping more ice crystals, but there were much bigger this time. The hall turned out to be the walls of the Colosseum, and we were on top of them. So I had to run around the rim of the Colosseum. I had to time things right because there were these large, long tent-like shelters that were along the wall in some spots. I had to run when it was clear, and hide under the shelter when the ice crystals were falling.

Then, I was at this place with Brandi and Ashley. The place was very modern, and looked like a new house. The main room we were in was very large, contained two couches, a bunch of chairs, a fridge, two TVs, and a lot of candy. The room was set up so that all of this stuff was in the center of the room, and there were stairs on either side of the room that led downstairs. There were also stairs or something in the middle IDR. On the fridge were magnets holding up bags of Reese's Pieces, another candy, and bite-size $100 Grand bars. They were coated with a candy shell like MnMs, but they were $100 Grand on the inside. They were the same color as the Reese's Pieces. They should totally make those. I never opened up the fridge, so I don't know what was in there. On the left side of the room, there were the steps, and also more steps going up that led to a bathroom. Downstairs, there was another fairly large room that I don't remember all too well. I just know that the stairs leading up to the large room had tiny doors at the top that you had to crawl through, and they gave no resistance, as if they didn't have any door knob thingies. I remember hiding from Ashley and Brandi because I was messing with them and they were looking for me. I kept hiding in the opposite room they were in. Then I tried opening the door to go downstairs, and then not going, so I could fake them out. It worked. I went back into the room and hid behind the couch, but they still found me. I remember Pokemon being on TV at one point (or it may have been the DBZ part) and I was trying to explain it to Brandi. The last part of this that I remember was that Brandi had to go to the bathroom, and she said to me "Chris I have to use the little girl's room, but it's not number two," even though it was DE that it was, "so could you go play guitar or something?" It was DE that the guitar would drown out the noise so that I wouldn't hear her, and she wouldn't be embarrassed. I said that I'll just go downstairs, and she didn't believe me at first, but she did eventually.

This next dream was the most vivid and logical I've had in a while. It started out as a regular TV show. With the camera on the announcer. He was saying something along the lines of introducing the next comedian, and then saying their name was Josh Perushio or something. This was supposed to be a joke, and he corrected himself, saying "Please welcome, Josh Peck!" I remember my reaction was like "hey I didn't know he did stand up." It turned out that I was in the audience, sitting with CJ, and my book bag and another bag or something. The whole place was very bluish, and the stage was even more. When Josh came out, he looked pale and fat and like an old man with grey hair, wrinkles, and everything. I was confused because I thought that he got in shape, which he did in real life. I guess I hit the proverbial info button because the info popped up on my vision and I found out that this all happened in 2002, before Drake and Josh, so that's why he was fat. I didn't question why he was old. He started out making jokes that were kind of funny, but he wasn't doing too well. He wasn't doing terrible either, but it was just alright. Then, this kid in front of me turned around and started staring up at the top of the audience. I said to him "You're doing it wrong, Josh is over there," or something along those lines, and I pointed to the stage. He turned to me and said "Dude, there's two chicks making out up there." I turned around, and I tried to see. Sure enough there were, all the way up top. I turned back to him and said "Good call, you're off the hook." This whole part of the dream, from that point on had a vibe to it as if the whole thing was a school assembly with no adult supervision rather than a comedy special. A vibe like everyone in the audience were good friends, and we were all just ripping on the show the whole time. Anyway, the kid that was in front of me (by the way, the seats were tiered) got up and sat next to me. I moved my book bag so he could sit. He was drinking Arizona iced tea, and this lady walking around said "Hey, you can't have beer in here." We ignored her for a while, then looked around at virtually everybody enjoying a beer. She said it again. Then I said "It's not beer, it's iced tea. I thought it was beer too, the first time I saw it." She believed me and went on her way. Then my phone rang and I looked at it and it was Dad calling, I didn't answer it because it was too loud there. Next, there was this chick, who may have been Dana, who was playing the piano, but she had one leg on top on the piano, so that it was supposed to be impressive that she can stretch that far and still play. Then, all of a sudden, most of the people in the audience disappeared except for me, CJ, the kid next to me, his friend, and random people scattered in the audience seats. The stage curtains closed and the lights went on. After a little while, the stage curtains reopened and there was a bunch of people on stage. It turned out that part of the show was that the audience involuntarily learns an act and goes on stage with it. The act they were doing was that they all dressed up as animals. They were wearing plastic, white costumes, and they were holding onto objects, like a bunny was grabbing a balloon, etc. The rest of the audience was lined up on the sides of the room, like if the stage extended that far, and were dressed in can-can outfits. I'm not sure if they ever did the can-can though. The audience on the center stage was acting out when animals get shot. The whole thing was very quiet and silent and very pathetic. You wouldn't even hear a gun shot. It was only DE. But when they were shot, they'd go limp in this weird slow motion. That creepy kid Joe, or whatever his name was (DJ Yankee) said it was involuntary that the audience did this. I got up and said "Well that's too bad because I'm not doing it. This is stupid." I got up to leave, and walked towards the left side of the room, where the can-can dancers were, but now they weren't. There was a silver curtain there, and behind it was a piano. Then, all of a sudden, this one celebrity was there and I was back in my seat I think. The celebrity looked kind of like Martha Stewart, except very attractive and it was DE. Her talent was the piano. As she started to demonstrate her talent, everything went to hell. The audience was ripping on the whole act, and she wasn't very good. She didn't even really play the piano at all. She just did this weird interpretive dance with random audience members, and this giant piano. Eventually, She picked up Lindsay, who was wearing this black dress (so was the celebrity) and she walked over to the piano, and held her up high. She starting playing the piano while putting one foot on top, saying "This is what she was trying to do earlier." although she wasn't too good either. The way she was holding Lindsay up was so that the dress wasn't exactly covering her. She wasn't wearing any underwear, and CJ yelled out "WE GOT A CROTCH IN THE HOUSE!" It was pretty hilarious. It was DE that I knew that we dated, but this all happened before that. Lindsay got embarrassed and yelled at her one friend who behind stage, who I'm guessing was apparently making fun of her. She said "Jake!' or whatever, and then ran off stage to the right (towards the side of the room because the stage was so big). For some reason there were a lot of dancers, that were carrying chicks above their head. Most of them had underwear. Another didn't, and I noticed. I said to CJ, in a response to his "we got a crotch in the house", "two of 'em." Then he yelled out "TWO OF 'EM!" All the characters involved became embarrassed. The DE celebrity became one of the well-known Simpsons characters (DE), as if she was doing this because it hides her shame. Another person, I think someone I was sitting with, maybe that kid IDR, became another one (DE). The celebrity's character was blonde, and old. The other kid's character was black, blind, had bad teeth, and was very crazy yet charismatic. He was also dressed like Apu. This is all I remember and I woke up shortly after.

DE= dream-established.
IDR=I don't remember

I don't remember much of the dreams, because I tried the WBTB method again. I should start writing down key points in dreams. It will keep me up a little longer, get the dreams on paper, and will put lucid dreaming on my mind. No lucid dreams, because I kept being woken up.

The dreams on this page are all related, but IDR the order.

There was a lot happening in the dreams last night. Unfortunately, I didn't write a lot of it down. First, there was this room, that had a walkway made of dirt. The walkway was very thick, and had two paths (left and right) plus the path to exit the room. Below the walkway was pitch black, as if there was no floor. In this room were mom, Neil Patrick Harris I think, some others, and me. There were also a bunch of these cardboard cutouts of totem poles. The one I was near was red and black.

I think before that part, there was this dream where me and Neil Patrick Harris (it may have been Dr. House, or someone completely different, but with that vibe) were talking about something, and they mentioned that they were attracted to mom. We were in the old house in the living room, sitting next to where the piano would be, but I don't remember seeing a piano. Also there was something really glassy about the living room table.

There as also this part where me, and a bunch of people (Anthony may have been there) were getting ready to board a plane. Except there was no plane (it was DE) and everything we were bringing with us was picked up by this moving guy, and taken to the "plane". He would pick up a box or whatever, and then walk towards this hallway, and make a right, and there was this big, unorganised room with boxes and stuff strewn about. There was also a path to the left of the hallway, but I don't know what was there. One of the things he had to move was this very fragile glass trinket of mine. It was a yellow pinata with a red stripe and a green head, and googly eyes. The texture looked pretty jagged. I wrapped it in something (may have been plastic wrap, but whatever it was, it wouldn't be reliable in real life) to protect it. When the guy came to take it to the "plane", He just picked it up, and threw it into the room with the boxes. I got mad, and everyone else was like "What the heck? He can't do that! That's a fragile antique!"

This next part was the most interesting part of the dream, and a pretty interesting dream overall. I may have had this dream before, or at least I dreamt that I had done this for years, and it was a big secret of mine. I had this buried treasure. I guess it was gold, or maybe it wasn't. I think it was actually just a small, worthless trinket with sentimental value. Either way, the big secret was that I had this trinket locked away and hidden since I was little, and only I knew how to get to it.

Oh Yea! This dream is similar to a dream I had a long time ago! I think it was a dream related to the secret basement door. But in that dream, I remember using the attic, and the air ducts to get to a secret room, and then more place after that.

Back to my dream from last night.

To get to this treasure, you had to go to this one secret room, which wasn't established how to get there. The room had a very well-lit view of outside, as if the entire opposite wall was missing, but it somehow wasn't, although you could see the trees and mountains outside. In that room, there was this giant statue. The statue was very long, and it was three-pronged. It looked like it was made of cement, and the legs were cylindrical. One leg would be all the way down one side of the room, and it would come towards the center of the room while curving down, up, and then back down. The other two legs were the same, but a lot shorter, and closer together, so that they statue was more "Y" shaped. It was pretty flat and close to the ground, and the legs were about as thick as a human torso. The whole thing was made of unsmoothed cement and at each end of the legs, there were a orange-red orbs which glowed. The orbs were encased in black, metal, flowery, gothic style finish, stemming from the bottom of the orb, as if the metal were fingers, and the tip of the leg was the palm.

The only leg of the statue with any defining characteristics was the one closest to the entrance of the room. This leg was bent up towards the ceiling, and there was a hidden trap door at its base. The secret to the statue was that you had to crawl under the trap door, which had a bunch of dirt and spider webs, and you had crawl under the statue to the point of each orb and grab a key shard. Each key shard was red, and when they were all gathered, they made a ball. After you had the key, you had to go to the wall that was "missing" and you had to climb down, so that you are on the ground, and you are still able to step up into the room. There was another hidden trap door there.

In this dream, I was older than when I initially set all of this up, so I barely fit through the trap doors, and the small passage ways. But you had to crawl into this new trap door, and there was a path that led all way to an opposite room. So you would be crawling under the statue room, and you would arrive at a place that would be on the opposite side of whatever building this took place, but this place seemingly only consisted of the status room, and a factory-like room (which wasn't explored at all, only DE). The new room you arrived at is only accessible if you get the key and crawl under the room. For example, you wouldn't be able to even know this new room existed if you didn't do all of this, as if it magically appeared, but you couldn't see it from outside. (I think I was showing someone all of this but IDR.) In this new room, you would emerge at the base of another identical statue, but everything was mirrored. This is where my memory gets a little fuzzy. I THINK you needed to put back the keys in the right order, giving consideration that the statue in this room was mirrored.

The next thing I know, I'm in a different dimension (and everyone is Adventure Time characters, but I don't think that's important. Also I was Finn) and we're in this big, giant room, which, now that I think about it, could be the factory- room that was in the dream earlier. The whole room had a greenish tint and I had to find my future self.

The reason behind finding my future self, I cannot remember. I really wish I could remember the rest of this dream, because it was pretty cool. I remember that before I went through the whole process of getting to my treasure, I may have already had the treasure, and I was explaining all of this to someone, and I showed them all of it. The treasure may have also been the pinata.

I also remember that there was this long, epic journey (may have been DE) that I went on with my future self, or to get to my future self, and that at the end, I sadly waved goodbye to my future self as he was picked up by the shoulders by these mechanical hands, and taken away on this type of assembly line. It wasn't an assembly line, but that's the best description.

Please excuse the poor capitalization.

This is the second day trying the WBTB method, the first being the 19th. No lucid dream.

Unfortunately, most of the dreams I remember had to do with just staring at piano keys I believe. However, the reason i don't remember much is because I almost had an OBE/WILD!

Twice!

Maybe it had something to do with the wake back to bed method? Although I think I just got lucky and started to wake up at the right time.

the most i remember of my dreams is only a few leading up to the first time.

I remember watching TV with dad, but for some reason it was at our house. he was eating grapefruit, and i was on the floor. i forget what i was doing on the floor, but the show we were watching was like a collaboration between family guy and american dad. i was like "i don't remember them being the same show." then, i remember listening to Other Lives (good band, I recommend) in my room. I had headphones on, an i was trying to crawl under the rockband drumkit. my logic was that they wouldn't have made the songs in such a way so that you couldn't fit. then, i remember seeing a cartoon black girl, who was very short, wore a yellow dress, and had big eyes, and an afro. she said something. I don't remember what is was, but the point is that is was supposed to be evil or something. or maybe she screamed. i don't remember. but then, i told sean and dad about it, and dad said that i should show him the clip, so we can do something about it. i said ok, and i was up in my room looking for it. apparently, the ghost didn't want me to do this, and came after me. it was DE that it was holding me down on the bed, so the dream turned into a nightmare, with my sleep paralysis making it seem more real. i started to wake up, and i couldn't move, or yell for help. i was still half asleep so i still thought the ghost was after me. after i realised i was waking up, i felt them. the vibrations of anyone who has ever experienced an OBE/WILD.
i didn't understand it at first, but as soon as i was actually awake, i immediately understood, and was disappointed that i didn't try anything.

the vibrations felt like when your hand JUST falls asleep. its not the pins and needles kind, it the rumbly, tingly, vibration kind. or maybe it feels like when you hit your funny bone, but all over your body, and without the pain.

the second time this started to happen, i was like "cool at least i get a second chance." i tried to will myself out of my body (for an OBE), but nothing worked. maybe i need to actually try to physically move? ill try that next time (although I should be focusing on lucid dreaming lol), with my hand under my leg, so that if i can raise my hand, i know it went through my leg.

i had more dreams after i went back to sleep finally, but I don't remember them because i couldn't take my mind off the almost WILD/OBE.




I remembered later in the day that my final dream was about this weird hotel/learning camp? Cosmo Kramer was there, as were a bunch of other celebrities, but they could have just been DE celebrities. One part of the dream involved a flooded hallway i think, with a car pulling out of a driveway in the rain? I don't know, but i do remember that it was a pretty cool dream.

LUCID DREAM NUMBER 2!!!!!(?)

I don't remember the exact order of things, but first, two Japanese girls and 1 boy came to America to learn about the culture. We were in school set up differently. Then, I forgot something, went to go get it, and for some reason started skipping all of my classes, even though I didn't want to. I thought to myself "man, I gotta be dreaming". I was...but in my dream. I had a false awakening (no lucidity) at the old house. My bed was on the other side of the room. Then I was at school again, and I was in a cave that people go to who skip classes. Not as punishment, but rather, people go there to skip class. Sean was there, someone else, and an orange robot with a screen for a head and two legs like the Gekkos from Metal Gear Solid 4. There was a rainbow colored potato sack and I needed to be in it and hop around outside the cave to class. The school was also a mall. I hopped out and saw Kristen Comose and she had a hot friend with her. I put my arm around her friend, and we walked and talked through the mall and back to the cave. I said again "I have to be dreaming." I did a RC, and I realised that I had 5 fingers on my right hand, but 8 on my left. My fingers looked weird. At first, I tried to close my eyes and make my hands disappear, but then I tried something harder and woke up. I forgot to fly. I count this as half a lucid dream, because the lucidity felt like it went as quickly as it came. It also felt like I had little control, and I woke up before I could get a whole thought through my head.

My fingers had these slits in each. On the tip, vertically, like towards my palm.

DE= dream-established. A fact that is known without a dream character explaining it, or an event explaining, hence it is just established by the dream.

Despite being sick, it was a good dream. First, I'm trying to convince Brian he is having a LD but he wont believe me.

Then I was a girl doing something (I don't remember) and I was in a bunch of magazines (lol nothing like that) and I was looking through them, but it was me. Next I was in a blimp going through the city in M.U.G.E.N. We kept coming close to crashing, but we would hit a building in a way as to bounce us into another blimp and then we would bounce back and be fine. Two blue tooth brushes high-fived every time we did this.

Then, I had a dream that I think I had before. Not sure. I was Aang in the beginning and I lost my powers. So did every other bender. Then, I was me and I beat a giant monster, but then I lost my powers. It supposed to be destiny that monster kills me. I ran home (old house) and got these essences. Magma and fire was at our house along with some items. Water was at an ice place like in Ocarina of Time, but it was in first person view and I was with Anthony and the place was set up differently. Grass was at some other place. I only had time to grab one. I grabbed magma. It's the strongest. Mom and Andrea were looking for me to take me to the fight with the monster. It was very sunny out. I managed to go out the side door and run away. Eventually, I got captured and was about to fight someone in all black in front of a castle. His aura was purple. I started to leave and a little girl said: I don't think you're quitting already." Battle music came on. The evil dude took out swords made by his energy, and the background changed like in Earthbound. It was very dramatic.

After that, and I don't know if this is related to the previous dream, but I was in some room with a bunch of swords that dropped down where you were and left proximity.

OXO
XOX
OXO O=sword. X= proximity blast

It was an above view. This was supposed to be how I died. Nicole was there. I kept dodging and waking up, then going back to sleep. It went on like that for the rest of the time. (When I'm sick, and I think other people are like this too, one part of my dream will be stuck on loop.)

I just remembered that at one point I was an anime character walking to Anthony's. We went to the ice place. I returned there later to see water essence. I don't remember much more.

Terminology: DE=dream-established. Like when you just know something in the dream, because it's part of the dream.

First, for some reason I had diabetes and Mark told me how to get rid of it.

WOKE UP (alarm) 6 AM

Next, some chick knew everything i was going to do or say because she said she was an angel. then, she showed me what everyone was doing. Angelica was about to kiss Sean when a zit on his lip popped. Everyone threw up.

WOKE UP (literally spitting on my pillow because it was disgusting) 9 AM

Misty from Pokemon was in a hot spring with me and it was on top of a waterfall. the whole setting was very rocky and orange. some other dude tried to use a weird slide (it was split into sections. pictured below). You could move the slide's sections because they were hinged. (pictured below). He tried to slide into the hot spring from a cliff. the slide fell at the bottom, and he hit his head. he got up and got in.

Later, there was some sort of attack on a place that looked like metal harbor from Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. The attacker was a jet like the ship from Descent. I shot a rocket far in front of it because it was going so fast. I almost hit it. Someone said "WOW! that was close!" I ran around the side of a building. The ship came by, I jumped our in front, and shot the front window with a magnum in slow motion with one bullet saying "NOT CLOSE ENOUGH!". I guess I shot the driver in the head through the window because it was a one hit kill (DE). When I killed him, everything went to negative colors (reminds me of a Duke Nukem dream I had before with the boss).

After that, I was still in metal harbor, but there was no trouble or attacks, and I was at the far back dock (where the attack started) and I was throwing and kicking metal, red pillars into the water to the right. The pillar was also set up into sections like the slide, but each section was more cubed, and rounded at the edges.

The final dream I can remember is that there was some sort of voice tester at school in the nurse's office (set up differently). It was a routine checkup. It tested how old your voice sounded. It started at 5 years old (it was DE that it had something to do with puberty). Ashley went first. the device was white, and looked like one of those toddler's toys where you push the button in the middle, which is an arrow, and when you let go, it spins until it points at an animal. Except this one was all white, at two handles at the side, and instead of animals, there were numbers going all around it. The arrow would point to which age your voice sounded. you just pick it up and go "UHHHH" into it. Ashley got 18, but she cheated and got 20. Everyone hoped for to get higher numbers so they could be more "manly." I had a cold and had to keep clearing my throat to sound normal. since I was sick, I got a 9. I swallowed spit cause I was really nervous. The dial went up the 11. I kept swallowing until it went up to 20. I told Ashley how to cheat she said that's what she did

WOKE UP 1:10 PM

MY FIRST LUCID DREAM!!!!! Started off as me going to a voice audition for Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z. I asked how much Id make, it was a lot. Anthony tried to talk me out of it. Then, we were sort of in Lemming Ball Z, but it was a different game. Afterwards, I went home (old house) and watched TV. Alann called and said "Don't change the channel! They are about to be awesome!" Then, zombies came into the house, which was set up differently by the way, and chased me upstairs. Instead of my right, my left foot had a broken toe. But when I got upstairs, I realised this (of all things), and did a RC. I HAD SIX FINGERS. I knew I was dreaming. I was healed (my foot), my vision was perfect, and I was in control. I also felt the mirror in the bathroom. It was soft, like rubber tension while still feeling smooth and hard like a mirror. I though to my self to keep things simple; I didn't want to wake up too soon. I made a paperclip appear on the bathroom floor behind me. You have to really concentrate. It's harder than I thought it would be. Since it was my first LD, it was still fuzzy like a regular dream, except details were amazingly close (the bathroom floor for example) and the quality was slightly better than a normal dream. And I remembered everything in the dream. Next LD I hope to fly.
