Kitties

This may have only been semi-lucid, because I went along with the plot of the dream a lot, but it was still nice. I was taking a boat to an island with people I didn't know. I was excited for it. The line to get on the boat was long, but it ended up moving really quickly. Someone said that the boat only came once every 20 hours in real time. I was a bit worried that it would fill up before I got to it, but I ended up getting on fine.

We arrived at the island, and I'm not sure at what point I became lucid. I did a nose plug RC to make sure. At one point I tried walking at a tree and believing really hard that I could walk through it, and it worked. When I was going around doing stuff, my eyes felt a bit sore, like they were kind of dry and tired, but I felt myself slipping away if I closed them for too long.

There was a meeting at a building on the island, where we were going to talk about games we were going to play and stuff. I think there was a game where we all had to turn into animals, because I was thinking about how I would turn into a cat. I got to the building before the meeting started. The inside was all light exposed wood, and there were lots of people there. It was big, too, with really high ceilings. I started talking to this guy, and he wanted to see my deviantART. I pulled out my phone to try to navigate to it and show him, but it was really difficult. The phone wasn't working very well, and I was having a hard time typing my name. I think I managed to show him a bit of it, but ended up giving up. I was only slightly aware I was dreaming at that point.

Then the meeting was going to start, and I was a bit more aware. I wanted to stick around for the meeting, but I didn't want it to be boring, so I decided I would fly around during it. I imagined pink feathered angel wings growing out of my back, and somehow managed to make it happen. I shot into the air and started swinging on lights and decorations and such that were hanging from the ceiling.

That's all I can remember now. The dream felt like it had been really really long when I woke up, but I'm sure it skipped sections to make it feel like that.

- I was in a video game with S that was like Penumbra. We were in a bright, clean hotel room at first, but it kept flickering between the hotel and this really dark, grimy room. I had a package of lined paper in the hotel room, and I decided I had to get rid of it to 'leave no evidence'.

Then we were permanently in the dark room and trying to solve a puzzle. I was trying to climb this big metal box/machine that had something to do with electricity, but it was hard. I wasn't wearing any shoes, and I slipped and fell off, my right foot landing on a small pile of thin rusty nails. They went into my foot and it hurt, so I told S to restart the game. Our last save point was in the same room, so I only ended up back a couple feet from the machine, with the injury on my foot disappearing and the pain fading.


- I was in geography with HG. The student teacher was handing out sheets we had to fill out about self-esteem. I asked him when we would continue them if we didn't finish that day, and he said we'd continue next Monday. HG asked if I wanted to bike to the animal shelter to look at animals. I said that I would like to, but I can't ride a bike. Then she brought out a basket full of tiny figurine-sized My Little Ponies, but they were alive and frolicking in whatever material was in the basket. It reminded me of cotton candy but might have been something like pillow stuffing. I was amazed and said something like, 'omg this is the best thing that has ever happened to me'. I thought of a video I had seen which was similar but with cats. Then I talked to this girl AO about wearing sweaters backwards.


- I was inside Gurren Lagann and trying to prepare to 'blast off', but I was worried abut my drink spilling. I also had to rearrange some files on the computer first, but it wasn't working. I was trying to move a few small bmps into a folder which contained a large bmp image, but instead of moving, the smaller images would merge into the larger one and appear scattered on top of it when I opened it. It was frustrating.

I was in an unfamiliar classroom, mostly empty of furniture, with a girl I recognized. I think maybe she goes to my school or something, but I dunno her name or anything. I had gotten paid in that room in both cash and a cheque, and all the bills were laid on a table in rows. I gathered them up and put them in my backpack. I turned and tried to leave, but the girl started trying to fight me on this strange structure against the wall. I escaped and ran to the doorway, turning around to look back at her, and mouthed "woo" while pumping my fist in the air in slow motion. Then I saw my backpack still on the table in there, and it was laughing at me. I went back in to get it.

Then I found myself in a video game. It was kind of scary, had a really long name and I was playing it with a group of people. We got out of the game for a moment. E was there and we were sitting on a couch, then the other people came over and sat on the couch with us, even though it was much too small. There was a cordless phone on a table in front of us that would show the name of the last game played, but the name of it was too long and had really weird spacing and messed up the screen, which was weird. Then we went back in the game. It took place in a dirty, damaged city with lots of wide-open spaces. At certain places, a red fog would appear when you approached, and a figure would come out of it. Then there would be text overlaid on the 'screen' (even though I was inside it) that looked like the text in Amnesia, saying something like, "Is this The Mix?" 'The Mix' was apparently the name of the creature and it was a demon, but it actually acted similar to an Amnesia monster as well, and you had to run away from it through the city. It was scary and I died from it a couple times.

Then I was suddenly at my school. It seemed like I was almost thinking consciously at this point, which was weird. It felt like I was lucid but without knowing I was dreaming, so it was really confusing. I was trying to figure out what class I had next, and everything I looked at was morphing and twisting. I thought really hard about it and actually figured out my schedule correctly, but when I thought I was going into my English class, the door led to a sort of balcony inside a mall, and it was suddenly lunchtime. There was a decorative fountain right in the middle of it, and some people I know were sitting at tables around the edges eating lunch, though I only remember seeing NN. I was very confused. Without noticing, I started singing a song, then realized where I was and tried to play it off, trailing off and saying something like "yeahhh I'm just gonna stop now".

I was in Toronto with N, but it was like we were in a game. It didn't look like any part of Toronto I've been to, but I knew it was. We split up to go on different routes, and we had to break into people's houses to find certain things. Sometimes there would be someone home when I started opening the door, and I had to run away, weaving through backyards and side-streets. It was a lot of fun. It was also very pretty everywhere I went; it was in the afternoon which was warm and sunny with an orangey glow, and all the houses and yards were beautiful and huge. I wish I could remember more.

There was some sort of game/competition going on in this dirty underground place with a lot of trains, which involved hanging onto the side of a train as it moved and seeing where it went. It was like a maze, and whoever found a certain point first won. Hanging onto the trains felt dangerous, and I was afraid of hitting something, but I eventually made it to the end. Someone mentioned Matt Engarde.

It may have been inspired by a game of Crossfire I played last night where I was in a place with trains.
