[COLOR="#808080"][/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]1) It's night and I'm near X Street. I'm walking across the lawn of the house next to NC's old house and I begin to walk down the driveway. Wait, this must be a dream! [/COLOR][COLOR="#DC143C"]I'm lucid! I can't panic, I don't want this one to end right away like all my other ones! I need to rub my hands together and spin. I remember reading a Wikipedia article that said 96% of people can stay in their lucids longer if they rub their hands together The test was conducted by Stephen LaBerge, who's the most credible source in the field, so I'm going to try that. I rub my hands together while spinning and I actually don't wake up!! This is great; I'm finally in a lucid! I remember that I can't be too excited, or else I'd wake up.

I feel pretty calm and turn around to look at the road. There are lots of people walking down the sidewalk on the other side of the street, despite it beign night. They're kind of hunched over and are walking at a rather rapid pace. I want to kill them. Since this is a dream, I should be able to think them dead and they should die right there. I imagine them withering and falling to the ground, but they don't. They simply walk by and I try remotely killing another group, but this attempt is also unsuccessful. I look to my left and FH is there, presumably trying to attack me, but I don't really know. She's only about a foot away from me, so hopefully I'll be able to kill her because of the shorter distance. I flex my muscles and wish her dead, but she remains standing. In a desperate attempt to halt this menace before me, I try to freeze her, hoping that she'll be locked immovably in a block of ice for eternity. However, this fails as well. Discouraged, I walk back towards the driveway and begin to feel the dream fading away. I rub my hands again and can feel the friction, [/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]but I've woken up and the dream is now over. [/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"](Not really, but I think it's over.)

[/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]2)[/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"] False awakening from 1. [/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]I'm in the kitchen checking my phone, and I see that I have a text from my mother telling me good luck on my LD. I'm somewhat alarmed, as my mother shouldn't know about LDing!! I've been trying to keep it a secret from her. Oh well, it's not a big deal. The tone in the text sounds positive and she doesn't seem mad; by using the abbreviation "LD," she probably has at least a cursory knowledge of the subject.

3) I'm on a bus. DS's mom makes him come over to play with me. I realize that must be pretty embarrassing for him, but I realize it's not his fault, it's his mother's. He walks up to me and says, "BINGO!" He pulls out a game that's apparently called BINGO. He gives me a purple Skittle and tells me to eat it. I do, and he tells me the point of the game is that we both eat Skittles and then we have to guess how many are left in the other person's mouth. We have to try to swallow some without the other person noticing.

4) I'm in a store with JF. There are small glass items on shelves. JF and I talk, and AG and/or dad might have been there too.

5) I'm reading the newspaper in the kitchen. My parents are showing me an article? and they tell me that I'm looking through yesterday's paper. No wonder it looked so familiar! I pick up the one under it and begin searching through it for the article?

6) I'm dining in a very high-scale restaurant. There's an opulent carpet and everyone is wearing suits. A gargantuan chandelier hangs from the ceiling. The roof is open so we can the city outside: it's nighttime and the city is bustling and bright. JM is on my left and BS is on my right. We're at a huge table with a bunch of people from school and we're having a great time in this really wealthy place. I look through the place where there's no roof and see an unusally large plane. It says on it in huge blue letters, "American Airlines." It's going towards the White House, and I'm kind of conflicted - society has taught me that it's bad to wish for bad things upon other people, but in my heart I thought it would be pretty cool to witness a major plane crash myself. The plane smashes into the White House. I momentarily regret my decision, as perhaps just thinking that thought caused the greatest tragedy in American history. I know that thousands of people died, as there were were tons of people in there, including the president, at a huge party. I think about where I am for a moment, glad I'm safe. Oh, wait. I'm in Boston's Logan Airport, probably filled with thousands of people. Most people in the city are probably here. I look around the room I'm in and there are probably over a thousand people in this room alone. I look into the sky and see a train curving towards us. It has a number on top of it like a bus, but it's long enough to be a train. It's flying through the air over the city and it's headed straight for us. We're going to die.

Everyone runs around in vain, screaming like it's the apocalypse. I turn to BS and look at him before getting up and running down the huge staircase. It's a futile attempt, though; the train hits and we all die.

7) I'm on DV when I'm not supposed to be. My dad walks into the room and says, "I hear typing. You're not supposed to be typing now." I desperately try to close the window in fear, but he catches me. I'm in HUGE trouble.

8) UJ is on the back porch telling me about gifts he gave me when I was little. My mother has some stuff to say about them, too.

9) I'm playing through a video game. It's a really long game and it felt like I was playing it for days. [/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"]I think it was a really long dream.

[/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]10) I'm in an abandoned house and it's towards the end of the movie?????

11) I'm at the intersection of X Street and Y Street. It's the beginning of a movie, which is meant to be a comedy. An African-American middle-aged man had the situation under control, but then a young Asian-American (probably around 25) arrived in a police car, but he wasn't much help. He was probably an inexperienced new police officer.

12) I'm walking down Z Street, and at the bend something happens. (I look at a dog?)[/COLOR][/INDENT]

Great start to the new year! 11 dreams recalled on 1/1/11! :banana:

[INDENT][RIGHT][SIZE="1"][COLOR="#808080"]01.01.2011[/COLOR][/SIZE][/RIGHT]
[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Black"]1/1/11 - 11[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE="1"][COLOR="#808080"](Non-lucid)[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"][COLOR="#808080"]NON-DREAM[/COLOR] [COLOR="#1E90FF"]DREAM[/COLOR] [COLOR="#DC143C"]LUCID[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR="#808080"][/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]1) It's as if I'm a character in a video game; I press a button and jump over hexagonal shapes, which are graduatingly black/green with opaque green outlines.

I walk across a swampy area and see an emo girl. She has short black hair with some pink in the middle. She's talking to me and seems rather friendly.

2) I'm at a movie. My friends are there, but I'm sitting with little kids (NBA's brother's friends?) I'm kind of embarrassed, but I sit back and enjoy the movie. The room is dim and has a blue glow.

At an intermission, my friends come up to me, as well as OG. OG tries to harrass me. I make fun of him and curse at him?

Mrs. A is standing at the side of the room, giving a presentation. We all turn to face her, sitting in a semicircle. I'm having a little difficulty breathing.

3) Today I'm going to visit Boston University with Mrs. W. I'm absolutely positive that this is my second time visiting, and this time I'm going to show her. [/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"]There's a really good chance that I visited this in a prior dream, but I can't remember a thing about it. In the dream, though, [/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]I'm convinced I just visited the day before and have now come for my second visit.

I'm walking along a New York street, on my way to Boston University. I look at the buildings (which are pretty run-down) and think about how they're structurally identical to a LEGO. They must have built a building based on my LEGO model. It's the exact same thing. The high rise across the street looks cool, too, even if it is in need of repair.

I get to the street corner and am ready to turn to walk down the sidewalk to Boston University when a car starts honking at me. I point and ask, "Me?" and yes, the driver is directing at me. It's an ugly fat woman with sunglasses; she's probably in her 50s. She pulls over and rolls down the window, informing me that Mrs. W would be there with me today. I had completely forgotten, but that's right. Mrs. W [I]is[/I] going with me today [/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"](is this the first time I've had this concept? I'm not sure)[/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"].

I meet Mrs. W in the dusty desert-like city block on which Boston University is located. We greet each other and enter the building, a highly modern and very nice facility. PS is there to greet us, and he guides us up. After we reach the top, JF, NBA, KB, and I all skate down the stairs. There are crevices in the stairs and elevated areas, so we have to jump like we're in a video game. We're going downhill, we just speed down without worry. KB taunts me about being so slow and last out of the four, so I put more attention to the game and become focused for the first time. I zip down the stairs, passing all three of my competitors.

[/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"]Is this a false awakening beginning of another dream? I'm not entirely sure, but it seems to me as if all this happened at the bottom of the slope we were just skating on. [/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"] I check my phone for email and see that I have hundreds of emails from DreamViews. [/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"](That isn't too far from being accurate, "lol.") [/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]I have an email saying that Raven Knight has replied in one of my threads, and I'm interested to read what she has to say because I respect her opinion as one of the more intelligent posters. I go to the thread and read her post, in which she bashes a bunch of people who replied. Her vicious attacks are relentless, unyielding, and unforgiving. She probably attacks 5-10 people, all whose usernames I don't recognize. None of them have avatars or are important members, but they were just causing problems and making posts that sounded stupid.

Thankfully, she didn't reply to any of my posts. :)

4) Jeff777 makes a forum post. [/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"](I wrote this down as a note at 5:00 AM, but now I don't remember what he said. I think when I had the dream I actually got the gist of his post, though.)[/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]

5) I'm in DV chat and Akono has something next to his name. It's just like the little line and then "Away," but it looks like it's longer. He still has the "@" sign in front of his name and everyone still has the brackets. I think what he's saying has a negative tone.

6) I'm in a huge group of kids in my grade, eating lunch in the parking lot. At the end of lunch, I find CH and ask him where he had been all lunch period! He tells me that he had been eating his lunch nearby? I try to get my sweatshirt on but have real difficulty in doing so. When I finally get an arm in, I have it on backwards. :/

I walk into the school through the back entrance and walk down the hallway. I have no idea what class I'm supposed to be going to. I think tremendously and begin to panic, but I eventually figure out that it's X Block. Whew! That's a relief, I have lunch now so I won't be late for anything. I see a few kids from lower grades on the stairs who have high, squeeky voices. I interpret one of them to be RG.

I get to my locker but can't open it. I must have put in the wrong combination. After another unsuccessful try or two, I realize that I'm trying the wrong one. :/ Mine is two lockers over!

I move over and finally open it successfully. But this isn't my locker - it's a vending machine filled with snacks and candy. Opening it was a floccinaucinihilipification. I close it, since it's not mine and there's really nothing for me to do with it, much to the surprise of the students who were having a math (Calculus?) extra help session in Mr. S's room. DM is one of the students in there. I see Mrs. M passing through the hallway, and she asks me if I live in ([/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"]I forget the name, but [/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]it was some obscure town I had never heard of). I tell her where I live, but I don't think she's really paying attention and it doesn't sink in.

I walk down the hallway and turn, and I'm at work. It's a huge office building, but I need to get back to my locker. I notice I'm in just my underwear. I turn and go down another hallway, but now I'm just lost. There's an office foyer-like area, but there's only one guy there. I turn back, but there's a row of cubicles where I was sure my locker had just been. I'm really frustrated now because I have no clue how to get back. I turn down some more hallways and the whole thing is just an office building.

7) I'm in a country house. There's a man outside who I interpret as a Southerner: the man has gray hair, is aged 50-65, has the drawl accent, and his head is cocked a little to one side. I'm afraid to walk outside, but I know I have to. I've been watching this man through a window.

I finally walk out onto the porch, and he tells me something which surprises me, but shouldn't: he's going to adopt us. There's someone else who walks into the yard, someone I recognize and don't mind. However, I don't really want to be adopted. I think of polite excuses because I don't want to hurt the old man's feelings.

8) I'm in a location with bridges over lava and huge crowds of people. I wonder for a moment where this could possibly be, and I come to the conclusion that it must be 4chan. I'm kind of on one of the bridges a little further back, and there must be a concert or something because everyone's pushing towards the central bridges and is jumping around. I'm in the spirit and I'm jumping around too, but I seem to be stuck towards the back.

I see the front bridges start to clear out; this is my chance! I remember that my goals are leadership, assertiveness, and action [/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"](which are actually my real-life goals, not dream goals)[/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"] and this is the perfect opportunity to work on building those character traits. I make my way towards the front and start jumping around as if it's a sporting event and my team just scored a goal. I look across the lava field, and only a mere few feet there's a platform where they're giving out free pizza! 4chan was sued or something for causing problems on the Internet and so now it had to give out free slices of pizza to all its members. I gladly took my two free slices. My cafeteria should do this!

I learn that if I want more, I'll have to come back tomorrow. They give out two free slices to everyone each day.

9) I'm with a few kids outside and we're in a small group playing a game. One of the girls breaks down and asks me how i play, because I'm so good.

LeBron James is there, and he's a pretty cool guy. We talk and joke around, and I bounce off of his humor. His jokes perfectly set up my jokes, allowing me to have awesome punchlines that everyone likes.

We're in the gym, and I'm hanging with LeBron, who's now become a piece of cardboard. Hmm, he must've been a piece of cardboard the whole time. Maybe I was just imagining him as a person when he was a cardboard all along.

Mr. P is at a podium under the board and he calls up PC. Mrs. E takes some pictures of me and the LeBron cardboard and says it's cute and wonderful. She tells me to keep it up, the kids love it.

10) I have a false awakening. I check my notes I put on my phone as a temporary DJ, but I don't understand anything I wrote. It's all weird numbers, percentages, and fractions like 2/3. I eventually figure out what the numbers mean (it's something like % of dream recalled, lucidity, or measurement of vividness, but I forget what now) but they still don't help me remember what actually happened in the dream.

11) I'm traveling through a really poor section of town. The houses are dilaptitated, literally - they're all several feet below ground, so there are essentially cliffs around each house.

I'm going down a road (X St.?) and see lots of political signs for people running for office. I notice in particular RD signs, where he talks about his Christianity and his church. There are crosses attached to the bottom of each sign, which becomes annoying as I go down the street; more and more signs appear until the overhanging above the street is loaded with them and I have to duck my head just to get along the road.[/COLOR][/INDENT]

I'm going to start tracking my stats for the year from now on. It's time to start anew!
