    1. A snail having his birthday celebrated!

      Non-lucid | Lucid | Extra notes

      Since my latest DJ post, I've started putting on earplugs at night and I also have taken the habit of opening my window to get some fresh air and thus avoid to wake up in the middle of my sleep sweating a lot.

      Dream fragment 1: I'm unsure I even dreamed about this but I feel it's important to note it down. It was a short vision of an empty-town road, in a mixed Thai-Italian architecture style. There were little shops with their displays (some wooden tables topped with wooden boxes) on both sides of the road (which in itself was pretty wide; you could easily drive a car there). All of those shops were aligned and continued all the way down the road, and there were some square-ish buildings behind them. Though, there was literally noone and the displays were empty.

      Dream fragment 2: A little bit of background is required to understand this. I'm part of a gaming clan playing on a rather realistic game where we often plan out house breaches & raids. We have a helicopter support unit (TAU) which I've helped with some old paperwork yesterday. None of my real-life friends are in this clan.
      In this dream fragment, I saw myself in a history lesson in our usual classroom. People in the room were gathered in groups to do some work (which is something we always do in French lessons). We set the tables in a way that they'd form squares of tables. Then I saw two friends of mine, A and C, asking me whether I had seen the TAU "activity checks"; I told them I had not, as I was not a part of TAU. They told me they talked about me in a positive way in those checks even though I have nothing to do with TAU (besides that paperwork). So I stood up, turned towards another real-life mate which I called by a TAU officer's in-game name (D. L.) and asked him if he had read the checks. He hadn't. (Side note: as I turned the tables were in their normal organization, spread across either sides of the classroom in a straight line). Then I looked towards the window to find my two good friends A and C (the same as in A stressful night... - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views) and asked them once again. They answered they had not seen the TAU activity checks yet. I assume the dream then ended.

      Dream fragment 3: This time, I was having a maths lesson in the classroom that is normally used for German lessons. I was sitted in the middle-back of the room and we started doing an exercise, that was to complete individually. Now I consider myself a pretty good student in maths due to my marks, but for some reason I badly struggled and could barely read, let alone understand the exercise. I was frowning my eyebrows while I had my gaze locked onto the exercise book. My maths teacher, which I've had for three years so far, walked up to me and told me that it wasn't such a big problem I was... dyslexic. I was surprised at first then she kept on talking about dyslexia and saying I should receive help but that I shouldn't fear failing. I was feeling really bad and sort of misunderstood. Unfortunately, I can't recall anymore of this dream.

      Dream 4: THE longest dream I had. It might have spread over 2 REM cycles considering its length. At the beginning, I was supposed to show a few of my friends (four or five max) my apartment, and the dream started in the hallway of the building I live in. My friends following me, including A which came to my house with S and D this very Thursday to celebrate D's birthday at lunch. We headed to the lift and stepped in, and found ourselves on the landing of my apartment. Then, the dream sort of returned back into time and I found myself in the lift with JC and another friend. My apartment's on the 6th floor of the building. This time, the lift interior was made of classy stainless steel but was a bit smaller than the real one; and its doors opened as we reached the first floor. I saw an immense hotel or conference center interior, which was extremely bright (lots of windows around the hotel, thus a lot of light came in), with what could have been a bar or a reception desk (it was basically a huge marble cylinder and there was a counter surrounding it in a circular way) to our far left, a dark and round marble pillar in front of us (although it was a bit in the background), and lots of shiny white light to our right. The hotel interior itself was circular and if I'm not mistaken, we could see a dome on our far upper left corner as we looked up, exclusively made of window panes which flooded the hotel with pure light. It was quite a magnificent sight. We also saw a few people in front of the lift exit, doing their business, really. Then the lift doors closed and we went up to the second floor; once again, the doors opened and we could see the same interior but a man in his late forties or early fifties (tall, approx. 1m90, with a bit of grey short hair), who was wearing a suit and a nice, black coat that stopped at his knees. He entered the lift and smiled at us, but I do not remember seeing him any longer. We finally reached the third floor and the lift stopped in the middle of an apartment entrance, the said apartment being very dark as there was no light at all. There was a path leading right ahead on our left and a couple of stairs on our right, with a huge wall/closet (similar to the one in my dentist's office) separating those two ways. We went for the stairs and we saw a little table on our left with a mom and her kid; she was taking care of him. There also was a kitchen. And again there was a right turn leading to a bedroom but I can't remember its looks, although I'm almost sure it wasn't mine. From there on we walked back to the kitchen and surprisingly, around ten people had joined. Everyone was celebrating... a snail's birthday! There was a mini rectangular shaped cake with two blades of grasses on its both extremities. I started cheering up just as everyone else in the room and the mini-snail (it was nowhere near the size of a real one) crawled onto the top of the cake and started eating the grass. Suddenly, a similar second snail came and helped the first one to finish the remaining blade of grass. All of that was pretty funny and I remember laughing. BREAK!

      Once again - back into my hallway. But this time... there were at least 40 persons! My friends, a couple of adults, and LOTS of elementary school children who were wearing dark blue smocks. I was kind of overwhelmed but I still realized I had to make them visit my apartment; so I opened up the door that led to the lift with my key and pretty much everyone started flooding in this little bit of space in front of the lift exit. I started thinking that our lift could only handle 8-9 persons at a time so I told other people to wait for their turns but I went up first - and if I remember correctly there only were my friends with me. At this point the lift didn't stop as it was climbing but I felt it went higher than the last time; everything around me was sort of white and blurry. It eventually dropped us in the same interior and I quickly walked up to the bedroom (the same one). I widened my eyes... because I honestly had no idea why the bedroom looked like that. It was filled with gigantic bookcases containing tons of old yet beautiful books (those magic spells books you see in Harry Potter). The bookcases were organized in a trail, which went from the right of my room to the left whilst leaving a space in the middle. The floor was a wooden parquet that looked brownish and rusty. The only light in the room was an extremely dim light but I managed to spot a double-decker bed, the upper couch having two, seemingly comfortable, black and red pillows. Those pillows were laid against the wooden border of the bed. At first sight, my hands grasped onto my hair as I thought; "What's this? They're not supposed to see that...".
      The dream ended there.
    2. Urgent shopping at the supermarket

      Dream | Non-dream

      Background:

      This was my Friday-to-Saturday's night dream. On Saturday, I go to the same supermarket I dreamt of. However, in my dream, it is a bit different -- it's organized differently.

      I was already in the supermarket. Everything was all black, but I hit someone. I heard some guy saying: "Hey, this is our private meeting, get out!", but then, the whole shop lit up and I saw LOTS of people arriving. There was an official announce (government) but I can't remember what it was. I was at the enter of the supermarket, and decided to buy a few things. The first foods I saw were different types of ham. There were two or three rows of them, but one weird thing appeared right up: two rows of video games... most precisely Warcraft III Collector's Edition. I didn't realize this was wrong. I could have gone lucid :/ My parents and I went to the hanging wardrobe where we'd deposit our coats for free, exceptionally, as it was one of the supermarket's offer. It should have cost us $686 precisely, but we only paid $6 'cause they said 6 out of the 7 coats we deposited had hoods.

      This is all I can remember from tonight. I'm quite surprised that the stand with the video games and the ham at the same place didn't tilt in my head... Furthermore, I looked a long time at the video games, which is even more annoying ^^.

      Anyway, I hope I'll soon have a lucid dream!

      I was already in the supermarket when my dream started, clearly at the enter. I saw lots of people. Apparently, there was something going on -- I could not know what it was, but the government had announced something.
    3. CIA rocks!

      Since the last dream I recalled, I had the impression that I wasn't dreaming anymore, this is quite annoying... Anyway, here's another dream.

      I found myself in a special intervention unit w/ Jack Bauer and some other teammates. I must lead an anti-terrorist mission.

      First, I see a black military helicopter flying over a bright-green lake, then some film-makers who are talking around a table. I see a female who looks like John Galliano (at least she has the same clothing style).

      Then, I find myself into a HUGE party room (with rich people and all, you know), and Jack Bauer is onstage. He chooses his weapons for the mission (on the back of the stage are hung up lots of MP5 and a few AK47s), but he gets angry cause they don't wanna give him both a MP5 and an AK47, and he just goes with the MP5. I'm sitting in the back of the room (which is, indeed, opposed to the stage), in a dark corner.

      Afterwards, my teammates, Jack Bauer and I are in a really dark space, only surrounded with a few red lights (looks like a military place); I hear Jack swearing he's going to take revenge against someone because his sister died. We run towards some small grey-black metallic platforms. I now am in a kitchen, in the morning, with a teammate. The windows' shutters are half-closed, so some sweet bright light comes in the room. We wear some military clothes and have some huge protection & weapons. We find once again two of these platforms and we kick them. They lead us into a yellow room, with the name of a general written on a wall. We once again kick two platforms and find ourselves on the top of a roof.

      There are two terrorists; there's one in a cage at the left of the roof, with a little black/white globe (it looks very pixellized) near him. We shoot him down. There's another terrorist, in a cage as well, at the center of the roof; he leaves before we can shoot him. His cage goes down a huge building structure. I jump in an attempt to follow him even though I don't see the cage anymore, but I hit myself and a health-bar appears (just as in video games) telling me I've got 1 HP remaining. Then I don't stop falling, but I wake up.
