My dreams today were much more blurry than yesterday. All signs of the vividness is was pretty much gone. My ability to remember them was so much less as well. My mind was very active and pumped when I went to bed, so maybe that is part of the cause. But also, I didn’t take a sleeping pill.. Were those helping more than I realized? Looking back at past entries, it seems the most vivid and memorable dreams all occurred while a pill was in my system. I think I’ll try another day or two without one to test this out. If the trend of blurry dreams continues after that, I’ll try a pill again and note the difference.

The details are gonna be almost nothing on these dreams, and the writing jump around and perhaps end abruptly. But I’m just working with what little I do remember here.

Going forward, I will mark entries with a lucid dream in them with (L) at the start of the entry’s title.

The first dream focuses on my brother and him having trust issues with women. Someone he was supposed to spend some time with has bailed on him and given him a reason for doing so. But he doesn’t believe her, so he checks on her. This process I think repeats a few times, and some of the women end up being honest and some of them had lied.
–Flashes: KFC, a huge (and very nice) house, something about today’s Vols game.

In this dream it was somewhat close to time for to go to work, but I decided to lay in bed with Willow for a little while before I left. Figuring it would be a good idea to set an alarm in case I fall asleep, I ask her if she’s sit up and set it for me. She accidentally changes the time though instead of setting the alarm, so I fix it for her.

For some reason though there’s a group of three people nearby and they’re making a lot of noise, so I get up and leave to go sleep somewhere else. When sleep became the singular goal of this laying down, I’m not sure.

This next dream is the “big” one for the night, because unlike the other two I remember more pieces of it. I do recall that there was a villain/antagonist in this dream. A floating figure, black robed and blue haired. Like the villain in The Little Mermaid actually, though I can’t recall if it looks exactly the same. This antagonist made several appearances, usually that I just remember in flashes that I can’t really place in the timeline.

Myself and a bunch of people from work were outside watching fireworks. Some big firework shell fell near us and landed on someone’s car, doing serious damage. Somehow another firework made a boulder roll down the road and it hit my car, doing serious damage to the front left side and tired. It was still able to be driven (as I remember doing so later in the dream, we went to the park I think) but the tire as at an odd angle I and I feared it would fall off. Anyway, I was going to go after whoever was shooting the fireworks and demand that my car be fixed, but now in the dream fireworks were being shot in the air from all different directions around us, so I couldn’t tell where the one that caused my problem had come from.

I also just now remembered that at first the fireworks were coming from only direction when my car got hit, and Jordan showed me a flier saying some place was supposed to be firing off fireworks at the exact time my car got hit. So we were trying to figure out if that place was near us, so that we could tell if they’d done it. Before I could take action though the fireworks from all the other directions started as well and we were no longer sure that they were our culprit.

At another point I was being chased through some sewers by spiders. Lots of them. There were other vermin as well. I think they were rats and snakes, but I’m not positive on that. Somehow I realized though that if I just laid down and waited, the vermin would all just pass over me and keep going after the others that were being chased. I realized that because the spiders had gotten me once before (I vaguely remember being chased before earlier in the dream), that they had no interest in getting me a second time. The antagonist was behind the vermin.

This is were things get perplexing to me. Later in the dream (I THINK it was the same dream), I was outside on my front porch. Something strange happened and it prompted me to reality check. I don’t remember what check I did, but I think it was something with my hands. And I don’t remember exactly how that played out, but I realized I was dreaming. For some reason the dark was scaring me, so I closed my eyes and said that when I opened them it would be daylight and I’d be somewhere else (Amy and Andy’s house I think). I ended up teleporting a few other times as well, and at some point the antagonist showed up. That’s all I remember though.

The thing is, I’m not sure I actually went lucid. Is it possible to just DREAM that you had a lucid dream? Not sure.. I’ve posted on the forums about it. The thing is that the dream didn’t feel any different than a normal dream that I can remember. The memories don’t feel any different. All recollection that I have of it points to it being just a 100% normal dream. So did I just dream that I was lucid? A&A’s house IS a dream sign, which also makes me question. Plus the fact that I can’t 100% remember my reality check.

So I’m just not sure, on that one. I’ll think more about it and see what people with some experience have to say.

Work On:
–Write down every dream the moment I wake from it. Every time.

Current Dream Signs:
–Work
–Amy and Andy’s House (Perhaps Amy and Andy themselves as well? Unsure.)
–Yylvis, The Fox
