Why am I even posting again...
Right, well, 9 days since my last entry, and my journal has, during that time, gained nothing but some random doodles. No dreams, no fragments, not even a few keywords. I suspect it's because I'm not really in a good state, psychologically, right now, but even so, I can't see how that would effect dreaming or recollection. I'm going to try B6 supplements starting from monday, and see how those work. I'm also going to go back to my usual irregular sleep pattern- I've been forcing myself to go to bed at a set time- 11pm. Thing is, I very rarely feel tired at this point, and it doesn't seem to have helped my recall at all (indeed, it seemed to have got worse since I tried that. Correlation =/= causation, I know, but it's worth thinking about)

Nothing.. NOTHING...
still posting just for the sake of regularity. And maybe if I make blog posts devoid of any content it'll vent my brain's nothingness and leave me with.. somthingness?

Ok, so, REALLY bad recalls recently- I've got next to nothing. I can remember a few keywords but no specific events or details.

***NIGHT $ FRAGMENTS***

I'm cycling long distance; I enter an abandoned 'haunted' house with my sister (That's the odd bit; I don't actually have any siblings) and meet a bald man wandering around. We tell him to go into a cupboard and lock the door. He then goes crazy until we let him out

***END***

***NIGHT 5 FRAGMENTS***

I'm walking along a cliff with my father, and we meet a man carrying a branch with strawberries hanging from it. I then find myself at an ice-cream shop, and a girl is trying to barter there. She is offering an army of rhodok soldiers (I have apparently been playing Mount & Blade too much recently) for some ice-cream, but can't afford any; I tell her that's why rhodok is no good. I'm then walking up a mountain.
At some other point in the dream I'm in a furniture store with my cousin.

Dream recall, why do you vex me so?

another one that I initially remembered a lot of, but didn't have time to lie there and hold on to it after waking, so most of it was gone before I could write it down

*****FRAGMENT*****

So, I'm apparently someone fairly high up in an army, and the commander is William Wallace. He tells me to collect some plants from my back garden, because he wants to make something he calls 'wolf-gas'. We then find ourselves on a large field- our army is there, but I couldn't see the enemy. Wallace then gives a speech- similar to the Braveheart one, but not exactly. As far as I can remember it was along the lines of the enemy being just like us, and just as scared as we were.

-There's then a large chunk that I can't remember-

I'm on a hill with William, and there's a farm nearby with smoke rising from it. He tells me to be careful, because it's wolf gas, and we then run in to rescue the people inside (the wolf gas seems to have a similar effect to mustard gas). I'm then walking around after the battle, and I see a man dressed as a clown fighting with someone over loot. I turn a revolver on him and tell him that neither of them have the rights to loot.

*****END*****

So, yeah, disappointing recall, but that was more of an external issue- I woke up because my father was shouting up and needed to speak to me, so I had no time to remember much or write anything down. There was certainly more of it, but it's too faint.

lots of fragments and, apparently, an allegory for the eternal conflict between metal and dubstep/rap/hippetyhop, and all that crap. (I'm accepting of other people's music tastes, but my subconscious, it would seem, isn't.)

***FRAGMENT***

I'm on a rollercoaster, which is initially very tame, and a woman sitting next to me complains that it isn't very exciting. It then speeds up a bit and gets a bit bumpy- hse says that it's a bit better, but not really what she came here for. It then goes extremely fast up a completely vertical incline, before going upside-down, corkscrewing, and generally being the most intense rollercoaster ever. The woman screams and shouts that she didn't want THAT much excitement.

***END***


***FRAGMENT***

I'm riding in a train, and it suddenly stops. Looking out, I can see that there is a fallen tree on the track ahead of us. I get out to help the driver move it, but it's extremely light, and the driver just throws it aside.

***END***


*****MAIN DREAM*****

I'm in a classroom with about 9 or 10 other people. The teacher is playing metal while he teaches- I recognised the band as epica, but recognised none of the songs. A different teacher walks in, complains, and forces us to listen to dubstep and rap. Our teacher shouts for a bit, and punches the dubstep teacher.
He then gets taken to court, and the class is there as his defence. Things get a bit heated, and the judge tells our teacher to watch his language, but rules that all charges should be dropped because the metal teacher was defending real music from the tyranny of rap.

We're then back in the classroom, but the metal teacher isn't there. The dubstep teacher walks in and goes crazy, screaming about "bloodstained t-shirts". He claws at people, and starts trying to rip a girl's blazer off, before the rest of the class, including myself, drag him off, beat him senseless, and bundled him out of the window, where he promptly disappeared. Our teacher then enters, telling us to enjoy our holidays, stay safe, and be wary, for the enemies of metal are everywhere.

*****END*****

Now, I know for a fact that there's a lot more to this dream- and I think the train fragment and the main dream are part of the same dream- but I can't remember anything else clearly enough to mention. I know that some of us stayed on after the class, as there was some extra-curricular project to do over the holiday, and we went out somewhere. There was an email involved at some point. Unfortunately that's all I have, but there was definitely quite a long story being played out.

Also, it's odd that for two nights running my dreams have included something school-related, given that I finished school almost 4 years ago. The first night only included some people I knew from highschool, and this dream included a school as a central theme, but no-one I recognised. Co-incidence or dreamsign?
