DreamLucidAwake

Missing Baby

The dream started off with me in a room that was sort of like a tunnel. There were a bunch of pipes lining the walls here. I had a wrench and I was looking for a broken pipe that someone had asked me to fix. At the end of the room I found a pipe shooting out a lot of steam. I took my wrench and hit the pipe about 20 times to fix it. I then took notice to the tunnel exit to my right. It was just a big hole in the wall that led to the Loudonville public pool. There were a lot of people there, but they seemed oddly busy. It looked like they were searching for something.

I was about to go help them find whatever they were looking for, but another pipe broke next to me. It shot a bunch of steam at me as I hit it repeatedly with my wrench. After I fixed that one, 2 more broke and I had to fix them. I kept watching and listening to the people at the pool as I fixed the pipes. I noticed that they were starting to become more panicked and worried. I also heard a woman yell something about a baby several times. I pieced it all together and assumed that someone's baby had gone missing. I decided that a missing baby was more important than stupid steam pipes that keep breaking all the time. I walked over to the pool towards a woman that seemed to be giving directions.

"Hey, is something wrong?" I asked her.
"Yes, a woman's baby has gone missing. We have no idea where he is. He could be in the pool, the playground, the building..." She said.
"Okay, is there anyway I can help?" I asked.
"You can go search in the pool with that boy over there." She said pointing to a younger kid.

I jumped into the pool and swam over to him. He looked like he was around 10 years old.

"Hi, my name's Jonathan. I was told to help you search for the baby." I said.
"Hi, I'm Colton. I haven't found any signs of him yet." He said.

He dived back under the water to search some more. I decided to do same and look for the baby underwater. We examined the entire pool area, but we found no signs of the baby. I then saw that the water in the pool also flowed into a nearby building. Sort of like one of those tunnel of love rides. I called Colton over and we both swam into the tunnel. It was a little dark in there so we had to feel around a little in our search. As I searched, I started to wonder what the point of searching for the baby underwater would be. I called Colton back to the surface to talk to him.

"Why are we looking for a baby underwater? If he was under the water he would be dead." I said.
"That's a good point if he was alive, but what if he is dead?" Colton asked.
"I don't know, but dead or alive, it seems strange that a baby could get so far away on its own."
"A little strange I guess."
"Is the baby simply missing or was it kidnapped? Is there a ransom?" I thought out loud.
"Maybe." He said after thinking it through.
"If so, then he would be alive and hidden somewhere with the kidnappers."
"How is that supposed to make things easier?"
"We now have a better idea of where to look. Let's go look on the surface for a a secret doors, tunnels, or caves."

We both climbed out of the river onto the concrete flooring in the tunnel. I searched the left side of the tunnel and Colton searched the right. We were searching the walls and floor for something odd that could give us a clue. I got distracted from my search when I saw a girl up ahead searching the tunnel. I think it was Molly again.

"Hey, what are you doing in here?" I asked.
"I think the baby might be around here somewhere." She said.
"Let's work together. I think it might have been kidnapped."
"Okay."

I walked up ahead of them and continued to search. I saw a light coming from the left side of the tunnel, which told me there was a room there. I walked to the light and found a well furnished living room. For some reason I gained a low level of lucidity here. I was about to leave the room, but then I thought this room was way too odd to pass by. I looked at the left corner in the far end of the room. I slowly walked towards it because it didn't seem right. When I got close I realized that there was a staircase to a basement hidden behind the left wall. It was an optical illusion that made the left and front walls appear connected from a distance.

I slowly walked down the stairs with my heart beating faster. At the bottom, I put my back against a wall next to a hallway. I closed my eyes and focused on my hearing to try pick up any noises from around the corner. I heard the sound of a baby crying from the hallway. I then heard a woman from the hallway say, "Shh... Quiet..." Now knowing that there really were kidnappers actually shocked me a little. I used my energy sense to try to get a better view. I could see a woman holding a baby in her arms and a muscular man standing behind them. The baby looked just like the ones from the "Uncontrollable Fury" and "Possessed" dreams. I estimated their location to be about 3 or 4 rooms down the hall on the right side.

I walked back up the stairs quietly to go tell Colton and Molly. When I got back to the tunnel I saw Colton, Molly, and like 15 other people searching the tunnels. A few of them were even police officers.

"Where did all of these people come from?" I asked Molly.
"I called them over here." She said.
"That's good. Anyways, I need to show you guys something." I said.
"What?" Colton asked.
"I found the baby." I said.
"Then let's go get it!" He said excitedly.

The three of us walked down the stairs together slowly. I put my back to the wall at the bottom again and Molly did the same. Colton though, didn't understand it all and walked into the hallway. I quickly pulled him back and Molly pushed him back against the wall.

"Hey! What was that for?" He asked annoyed.
"Be careful and be quiet." I whispered.
"What was that?" The man from the other room whispered.

I heard the man slowly walk into the hallway. I motioned Molly and Colton to run upstairs. We ran upstairs and out of the room. It felt like we just barely got away without being noticed. I saw a few police officers and figured they could be of help.

"We found the baby." I said.
"Really? Where is it?" One of them asked.
"He was kidnapped and taken to a secret basement!" Molly said.
"Ha! That's good one." Another officer said thinking it was a joke.
"Just give me your gun and I'll get him." I said.
"Quit wasting our time kid. We have work to do." One police officer said.

They turned their backs to use and started talking to someone else. I decided that the three of us would have to bring the baby back ourselves. I motioned Molly and Colton to follow me back into the room. We walked down the stairs quietly together and put our backs to the wall.

"There's a man and a woman. The woman is the one holding the baby. Get the baby away from her and run." I told Molly.
"I'm ready." Molly said.
"I'm ready." Colton said.
"No, you're staying here where it's safe." I told him.
"I'll keep watch!" He said excitedly.
"We rush in on the count of 3. 1...2...3!"

The two of us quickly ran into the hallway together. After hearing us, the woman stepped into the hallway with the baby and stared at us. I felt like something really bad was about to happen to Molly, so I ran in front of her. Right as I did this, the man jumped out from one of the rooms and tackled me. Molly looked as if she was about to stop runnin to help me. I didn't want her to save me though, I wanted her to save the baby.

"Keep going!" I yelled to her.

The man held me down against the floor and then stabbed me on the left side of my chest with a knife. He was about to pull the knife out of me and attack Molly. I held him down though and kneed him in the stomach. I could see the shadows of everyone on the wall as I held the man down. From the shadows I saw Molly kick the woman, take the baby, and run. Molly ran back towards the stairs and the woman tried chasing after her. I grabbed the woman's leg with my two feet as she ran by and tripped her. They both tried to get me to release my grip, but I refused. The man pushed the knife deeper and deeper into me. I still didn't let go of them until the moment I died.

Normally I wake up after I die. This time my dream felt like making fun of me I guess. It was also very weird because I was still lucid. I saw an image of Molly standing on a playground with three zombies. Then a narrator started talking as I viewed this little movie.

"After Jonathan's death, Molly inherited his favorite SMG." The narrator said.

I then saw molly pull out an SMG from her backpack. Even though I don't have a gun like that, it was still my favorite. It looked like it was from Left 4 Dead.

"She vowed that she would use this weapon to fight crime in his name." He said.
"...You do know this is just a dream and I'm not really dead right?" I said in my mind.

Molly then pointed the gun at the zombies and shot them until their arms and heads came off.

"Perhaps one day, with her help, we will see a better world." He said.
"I want my SMG back..." I said.
"Remember everyone. Keep on dreaming!"
"Okay, I'm just going to wake up now." I said irritated.

DreamLucidAwake

Lucid Fragment

Not much to say about this dream. I was lucid and stuck staring at an options menu for some zombie game. I was trying to turn the audio down low because I didn't want a loud noise to scare me when a zombie busts through a door or something like that. I don't think I got to play the game. Each time I tried to adjust the volume it would either get louder or creepier.

DreamLucidAwake

Very Short Zombie Lucid

Before I went to bed I daydreamed that I was fighting a licker from Resident Evil. I guess I didn't really think that through because nearly every dream that night was zombie related. I only feel like writing about the lucid though.

So I was standing on a bridge in a huge building and there were a bunch of zombies below. I have no idea when or how I became lucid. I was just standing on the railing and peeing on all of the zombies below. Not sure why. A zombie then tried sneak behind me and jump on my back. I just turned into a shadow for 2 seconds and it fell through me off the bridge. I then continued to pee on them. The thought of me wetting the bed came into my mind and I quickly woke myself up. To my relief, my bed was still dry.

DreamLucidAwake

Document Fragment

I'm not really sure what was happening. I would fall asleep, dream that I was reading some sort of document and then wake up not long after. This repeated about 5 times and was very boring.

Slow Down

It was the middle of the night and I was standing by the street near one Loudonville's parks. I was standing next to a parked car waiting for someone. It wasn't long before some man and some woman appeared right behind me. We all get in the car and the lady is driving, the man is in the passenger seat, and I'm sitting in the back. As we're driving, the lady starts speeding faster and faster. I asked her to slow down, but she ignored me. Then we come across a steep hill with a sharp turn at the bottom. Asking her to slow down soon turns into yelling, but all they could say is "we're fine." As we aproached the corner I closed my eyes and braced myself for a crash.

After I opened my eyes, the car was parked in a driveway and I fell out of the vehicle. As we went inside the house I couldn't stop repeating "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you." To finish the dream, we all sat on the couch and watched Looney Tunes.

Trailer Park Walkabout

It was the middle of the day (yay) and I met a teenager named Kevin. I was then with a grouop of 5 other teenagers and we all went to a trailer park to get ice cream. For some reason the ice cream guy kept running from us, so I had to chase him for a while. After looting the ice cream cart, we walked around for a while talking and telling jokes. We came to a creepy part where everyone just stared at us with grim faces. The road finally led us to a cliff with lake at the bottom. I threw a pipe bomb into the lake for no real reason at all other than to see it explode. Not much else happened.

Let Me Swing

I was on a playground at sunset, playing on a swing set. As I was swinging, there was a kid behind me that kept bugging me to play with him. I told him know several times because I knew it wouldn't end well. He repeatedly began to call me a toad. I ignored him and just kept swinging. This made him mad and he somehow pushed me off the swing when I was high up. I landed on the ground and did a pk roll to break my fall. He then called me a lotus and I woke up.

Zombie Princess

It was morning and I was inside a castle courtyard. I met a princess who was overly ambitious about finding an ancient shrine. She then runs off into the wilderness to go look for it. It confused me too much to care until the king told me to go save her. So my opinion didn't really matterh here and I was forced to fallow her. Tracking her eventually led me to a cave that descended deep into the ground. When I caught up with her, she had already found the shrine. Its power had transformed her into an evil soulless zombie. As she started to grow bigger and more powerful, I ran off to find a relic she had mentioned before. I came across a treasure chest and dug through it until I found some sort of cross made of blue crystal. I pressed it against her and she kind of vaporized in a bright light...

Forgot to Pay

It was the middle of the day and I was at a restaurant in Loudonville. I had ordered waffles and pancakes. I happily ate them and they tasted more delicous than I could have imagined. I then left the restaurant and waved goodbye. As I walked down the sidewalk I stopped for a moment. "Waaaaiiit! I forgot to pay for my pancakes." I ran back to the restaurant, but when I got there the waitress pushed me over to a table with my family. I reluctantly sat down to join them. Most of my family was there plus Ginny from Harry Potter. I don't remember much of the rest of the dream because I felt like ignoring them.

Gameboy Kid

I think I was 10 years old in this dream or something. I was in a car with a woman and her kid who was of similar age. Maybe I was recently adopted. The kid had like 20 gameboys in his backpack and kept talking about his games all the way to walmart. Not much happened at walmart except the kid bought 10 more gameboys and a Latin language game. We then drove back home and the kid kept talking about his 10 identical gameboys the whole way.

The next thing I remember is sitting in a room with the 2 of them and I'm suddenly 5 years old now. There was also a baby there who I played with toy blocks and car with me. Then the woman suddenly wanted to throw up, so I ran and got her a bucket. As she was busy with that, I sat down in front of the tv to watch Loony Tunes.

End

Dream Lucid Awake

I'm going to try to keep a dream journal again. Hopefully this time it will be more organized and worth keeping. I don't want to put a lot of detail into most of my entries anymore. My fingers might fall off.

Tiger-Bear

I was in a lab of some sort and wearing a lab coat. Obviously that makes me a scientist. In front of me was a large metal cage. Inside the cage was a creature that looked like it was part tiger and part bear. I studied it for a while before the door slammed open. A magical flying note flew in front of me and it read, "Sorry, you're fired." After that the dream quickly faded away.

A Bathroom Mess

I was at my grandma's house. It was a younger version of myself playing with toys on the rug. (Yay for childhood memories.) I asked to use the bathroom and when I went in there, the floor was covered in pee. I still used the toilet anyways and then cleaned up the mess.

Angry Birds

I was in some sort of arena at the top of a large temple. These giant birds swooped down into the arena and started shooting lightning out of their heads. Everything started getting darked and the sunset was soon replaced by storm clouds. Then the birds decided to start shooting lightning and stuff at me. I responded to their attacks by shooting rays of magic ice out of my hands. After I froze and shattered the last bird, the temple started to crack and rumble. It was showing signs of collapse, so I ran to the edge and jumped off. I woke up before I even got the chance to start falling.

Celebration

I remember falling out of a portal really fast and landing hard on my back. When I got up, there were a lot of people, cake, balloons, and other party stuff. Someone said to me, "Congratulations! You prevented the 1000 year curse!" At first I had no idea what she was talking about, but I think it refers to the last dream. Not much happened at the party. I did get to eat some very delicious cake though and I met Pinkie Pie.

Dogfight Over London

I was flying a plane over London in third-person view. I heard a man over the radio say something about a fleet of enemy fighters heading towards the city. I think they were most likely terrorists. Me and a bunch of other planes moved over to intercept them. Many of the planes attacked us, but some others managed to get past. They were trying to destroy the clock tower. After a lot of fighting, the tower finally collapsed, and I woke up.

Jak's Island

I was on a large sunshiny tropical island with no backstory at all. On this island I met a man named Jak and he talked A LOT. He said the island belonged to him. I also met a talking cat named Opal, a giant talking crab, and Jak's pet weasel that could not talk. I spent the rest of the dream climbing palm trees and exploring the jungles with them.

Zombie Wannabe

It was the middle of the night and I was at a school playground. A kid asked me if I wanted to play "humans vs zombies" with his friends. I decided to go along with it until another kid bit my leg. I tried to move my leg away but he wouldn't let go. After about a minute of this he actually thought he was a zombie.
"Dude, you're not a zombie." I said.
He only growled at me.
"Let go of my foot."
"No!"
I eventually woke up after continuous arguing.

End

I hate typing.
