My dream had to do with people from my school/class making a video (I guess like a montage) of our senior year. I remember being picked to star in one of the bigger scenes, but decided to give my role to someone else. Time lapse and I'm now in a classroom with the desks facing the center of the room, where a teacher is standing. I don't remember much, but I think we were going to collaborate on writing a song.

For the past few days I have almost completely forgotten my RCs and ADA. I am going to try to start it up again today, though.

That's right. 4 separate dreams! I drank half a cup of natural apple juice before I went to bed (Not sure if this had any effect on my dream recall or not). Anyway, I'll try to go in the order I remember them.

My first dream had to do with some kind of family gathering at the Clevenger residence (The family I am going to move in with once I graduate). I don't remember much about this one, besides the fact that there was a spider chilling on a fence and I was messing with it. The spider looked something like a mix between a predator and a skulltula (and almost as big). I remember doing something to subdue it, but I don't remember what. I know I didn't touch it; that thing was scary as fuck.

The next dream I remember took place in school, as usual. There was a party in my classroom. Possibly having to do with being the end of the school year. Not sure. The classroom was packed, so I decided to go in the lunch line to get some food. My friend, Diorra stopped me and teased me about going in the line to see Vanessa (ex). I didn't understand why she'd even bring her name up to me, as we haven't dated in a year and a half and haven't talked in months. When I got to the lunch line, I saw her about 5 people in front of me, and I just went back to the classroom.

I'm not sure if this is the same dream or if it continued where the last one left off or what, but I'll count it as a 3rd dream... The bell rang and I began heading to English class (I took English last semester). The teacher said my group's assignment was to fill up a bottle with shampoo from some really old theater/stage that was all the way out in like Virginia. Why my teacher wants us to go to Virginia is beyond me, but we did it. I forget who drove. We arrived at the stage in about 15 minutes time (Virginia is a 3 hour drive minimum). It was dark, but the stage was lit, and we got whatever amounts of shampoo we needed for our bottle. Before getting back in the car, I saw some steps leading down a hill into some trees. I followed them 'til I saw a large house with the lights on. For some reason, it just popped in my head that this was Abby (some girl in my AP Environmental Science class) and that I should leave, so I got back in the car and I think the dream ended.

The last dream I remember is a dream I've had for awhile. It has to do with the video game "DOOM". I used to play this game a lot as a kid, and last night I dreamt I was on the Nightmare difficulty setting (basically the hardest thing you've ever seen. 10x harder than your Call of Duty Veteran or Halo Legendary) but died as soon as I took damage from anything. If you've ever payed on the Nightmare difficulty, you could imagine how annoying this really is.

I'm somewhat surprised I didn't DILD in my dreams last night, as I performed at least 20 RCs the day before. I also attempted MILD, using the mantra "I will be aware that I am dreaming".

I attempted to WILD and got the closest I have ever been. My entire body was numb (I don't think it was paralyzed yet) and I could feel my hearing slowly fading out the noise from upstairs and could hear a faint whirring. I could also see flashing lights as my eyes moved quickly back and forth inside my head. I like most everything about where I am sleeping now, except that my girlfriend's parents' room is directly above mine. There is a lot of noise coming from upstairs, especially when I try to take a nap. I felt the numbness begin to wear off and rolled over and slept normally.

I dreamt some kids from my school were on Dream Views and were explaining to me some tips on having my first LD. One person I specifically remember was Mark. This is very interesting, because he talks to me and shows me a lot of things in my math class. For a 3 hour nap, it is relatively disappointing to only remember one dream, and so vaguely. I took a 50 mg half-tablet of B6 before I took a nap. I think I'm going to do the B6 once a week from now on, after reading about side effects and such.

I am sleeping in a room with no windows and directly under my girlfriend's parent's room, so I can hear everything they do (mainly walking around and dropping things). I took a B6 supplement before this nap.

I had a dream I was trying to get another student I.D from my school counselor for some reason. There was a corner of a room I was waiting in with other students where the lights were reminiscent of a rave or something. After I got up to get my I.D, I looked down at it and it wasn't mine. It belonged to a friend of mine named Taylor Sikes. What was odd about it was his I.D had his face with my hair (very short right now, where he normally has longer hair with like blonde highlights) and vice versa. Once we switched and had our respective I.Ds, the lady I handed it to stamped GED on it (I am about to graduate high school and plan to go to Community College, so this is a little odd). When I went back to the room where I was waiting, my seat was taken, and everyone's positions changed. This seemed normal until I started looking for a seat, people started changing positions every time I looked back. I don't remember anything else.

I attempted WILD, but after turning my alarm off, I just jump back into bed and fall asleep. I need to find a way to stop myself from going back to sleep automatically; maybe set two alarms?

I remember one of my dreams involved being in school, in a large, concert-like auditorium. There were chairs seated in rows, and I was trying to get by a Latino couple at the end of one of the rows. The space was really tight, but the girl decided to try to trip me by moving her legs in front of mine and the boy followed suit. they both started laughing, and saying stuff in Spanish I couldn't understand, and no matter how hard I tried to get past them, they kept me there, moving my legs around in a stomping motion to try to get them off of me. Someone apparently saw the commotion, and called either security or an administrator over to us. The administrator thought I was attacking the couple and once they both saw he had come over, they acted like it too. I don't remember my punishment, but for some reason, my group of friends included Varg Vikernes of Burzum. I would think this to be a Dream Sign, being he is a famous person, and I do not know him personally, but I didn't pick up on it; I just accepted that I know Varg and we talked about how much bullshit it was that I got in trouble. I remember later finding the Latino boy's Tumblr (blogging website) and he had a lot to say about the incident.

The second dream I remember had something to do with my dad and I going fishing. I think I remember a jetski, and I remember on the way back, some kid had a 5 string guitar which used to be John Petrucci's (Dream Theater). He had it tuned in some weird ass way that isn't standard for music at all like A#D#F#BE or something. Anyway he handed it to me and i just played open strings and it soudned like a Dream Theater song which was cool I guess.

Nothing was completely out of the ordinary in these dreams, besides Varg being in my group of friends, and I wasn't able to pick up on it.
