I was in my sister's bedroom; the lights were off but I could still outlines and there was a slight illumination coming from an unknown angle. Her room was small, around twelve by twelve feet, and the only furniture in the room was a white twin bed, positioned against the wall, and a vertical white dresser. We were both behind the bed on the floor, and because of this we couldn't see the door to her room. We were talking about random gibberish that I can't remember, and suddenly the door swung open, making a large banging sound against the wall. I looked up over the bed and saw a shady man in his thirties stalking towards us. This wasn't exactly a nightmare because it didn't have the same terror as a nightmare would have, but I was still nervous.
My sister got up and, without saying a word, ran right past the man and out the bedroom door. Who knows why he didn't jump at the chance to attack her. So, I was still looking over the bed and realized only now that he was holding a crossbow. It was brown and fairly basic in structure; the arrows made of slightly bevelled metal.
He pointed the crossbow at me and I slunk back behind the bed. He came around the corner of it, the bow still pointing at me, and pulled it back. I pressed myself against the wall to hide myself; because of the angle he was aiming from, he'd have to move again to shoot. He came around quickly and shot me just above the forehead. I didn't feel pain or see blood, and I pulled the arrow out that actually didn't go that far into me, maybe a few centimeters.
The dream ended.

I was right inside the main entrance of my school; the colors were slightly muted because the building was dimly lit. The building itself was large and spacious, long and rectangular, and had a triangular roof made of glass panels. The flooring consisted of large light-colored tiles, although the color was indiscernable. There were many different students within the school, and I was one of them. There was a Halloween party coming up that night, and I had to get my costume together fast because it started in an hour.
I walked to the left and entered a locker room; it looked exactly like this except there weren't benches in the middle, and it was larger.
There were a few other students in the room at the moment, and one of them I recognized as being my classmate. When I got to my locker, I faced her and said, "hi", then continued on without getting a reply from her. She just ignored me as if I weren't there but it didn't hurt my feelings. I opened my locker and saw a shelf, positioned in the center of my locker. On top of it were a pair of dark blue jeans, almost black, and a black sweater with blue stripes on it. I guess I was going to be the cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland (I'd never do that in real life because these clothing choices would make me look emo, but whatever). I also found a black tube at the bottom of my locker, presumably filled with face paint, but I was not going to paint my face all black! I got changed right there, putting the sweater and jeans on. I also remember putting on some sort of hat that I didn't see in my locker before, but I can't remember what it looked like.
I exited the locker room and was now back in the main part of the school, a big, spacy area with doors to classrooms on either side. They were closed because I knew it was getting late, and the party was going to start momentarily. I continued to walk down the school and ran into four or five of my classmates. I recognized a few of them but there were some I didn't. They were all wearing plush navy blue robes, like the ones made of egyptian cotton. I looked at them and thought, I'm wearing that too, and when I looked at myself, putting my arms out in front of me, I was in fact wearing the same robe. So much for continuity.

My school's divided up into a lot of different parts. There's the massive main atrium of the school which holds middle and senior school classes. Then, there's the junior school section off to the side, and on the other side of the school was a wing for the kindergarden and nursery kids. I was in that last part mentioned. On the third floor, there was a large room (probably twenty feet long and wide) that branched off into a few different classrooms. To get to this room, you had to go up a set of stairs. These stairs were against the wall and went two floors above the main level, for a total of three floors
I started off on the main level and then ran up the stairs, as if I were in a hurry. The stairs were wooden and had gray rubber edging on the edges, probably so the young kids wouldn't hurt themselves too badly if they tripped or something. Instead of polished wood like in real life, the railings were thick steel and looked like the kind you'd find on the edges of a hospital bed. When I got to the top of the staircase, there was a small table in the middle of the room. I went over to it and the dream skipped.
I was now in my house; in the hallway to be exact. I can't remember what the hallway flooring looked like, but I do remember the walls were white. On the edges of the walls, like when you'd turn a corner, there was brown molding like what you'd see along the floor. The lighting was dimmer than normal but it was still bright enough to see everything. I took a few steps down the hallway, going past closed doors painted white, and came across a deep, perfectly square-shaped indent in the wall. Inside, it was lined with smooth, thin panels of wood and on the bottom were fine wood shavings. I saw a small armadillo-like creature, about the size of an adult's palm, inside. It was a fairly shiny grey color, but it also looked worn out, or rusted. Its legs weren't positioned underneath it, but they sort of came out the sides.
It looked up at me and wobbled over to the edge of the indent, moving almost like a penguin. I picked it up and knew that it'd want to be with the others. I walked down the hallway, holding it in my hands, and entered the living room. There was a light gray carpet and the walls were the same white color, same lighting, but with none of the wood accents on the walls anymore. There was no furniture or objects except a small cage with the top part missing. It was a very wide and long cage, but not very tall. There was dollhouse furniture inside it, and there was green velvet underneath to act as a carpet. I saw three or four other armadillos inside. I looked at the one in my hand and put it in the cage with the others. As I was putting it inside, I became aware that I was dreaming and stopped to stabilize the dream a bit. "Yes, another lucid," I said to myself, rather excited. I remembered the elevator task for September, but I decided against doing it again, and then decided against my better judgement to go explore a mall. I turned away from the cage, standing up now, and looked at the wall. There was a door there now, instead of the entrance to the hallway. My dream control worked well as the door opened; I stepped into a large mall. I was on the second floor and since there was a large hole in the middle, I could see the floor below as well.
I was beginning to lose my lucidity as I turned away and expected myself to be on the first floor. For some reason, I felt like going to Sears! It worked, and I was now on the first floor. I looked to the left and saw the Sears sign right there (distorted, of course, but recognizeable). My lucidity was continuing to go down, but I now got the idea to go break into the store.
The store was closed; two entirely-glass doors was all that stood between me and breaking in. I ran at the door and smashed it down, closing my eyes to avoid getting glass in them. I felt my eyes close but could still see, and then I opened them again. There was a cashier in a navy air attendant outfit, standing in the middle of the entrance and pointing a gun at my face. A shot rang out and I dodged it.

It was sometime in the afternoon, when the sun just starts to go down.
I was on a sort of island, thickly laid with trees and a sandy beach, rocks, and docks for boats that floated on the surface of the water. In one part of the island, on the outside, was a cove with light, fine sand. There were palm trees all around the shore of this area. There was a small beach house that was made of wood; it looked slightly broken-down. It had the same appearance as the following picture, but it wasn't as colorful and there wasn't any rock dividers in the water.
In the middle of the water, there was an amalgamation of water slides, all curving around a piece of flat square wood that was suspended above four square wooden pillars. The structure was like a tall table with the water slides snaking around it.
I was initially in the water (unsure of how deep in it I was), and the next moment I was right on top of the wooden structure. There were three water slides I could choose to go down, each on different sides, and all of them were blue. I went with the one on the right, because it looked like the largest one. Who knows how I knew that, because I couldn't see the rest of any of the slides. I went down and I was now surrounded by a tube of thick plastic, or whatever water slides are made of. It was the normal size of one, too; not too tight and not too large.
A few moments later, the slide must have gone under the surface of the water, because I was now totally consumed by water, still going down the slide at regular speed. I took a big breath right after I went under, and held it for at least a minute. The slide twisted and turned, all the while it still being full with water, and then spat me out onto the surface of the water. I didn't understand this, because the only direction it went was down, and didn't go up again. If I went under the surface of the water, how could I have ended up above it again?![]()

I have to stop going to bed so late, my recall is suffering...
In this dream, I was on a computer. I was sitting in a chair inside some form of wooden cabin sunroom, and I was working on a website. The page looked normal, but there was a big fat bar at the bottom, like the status bar in Internet Explorer but thicker and had a number in the lower left corner. It was currently at "0.00", probably gauging money or something.
I closed the page I was working on, and the number changed to "-44.00", as if I were in debt for closing the page! I looked away to get something, and the number changed once more, becoming somewhere in the -200's. I remember flipping out because I didn't have the money to pay, and my mom would be so mad at me if she were to find out. What would I do?
