    1. Pyramids: Shooting tentacles

      by , 12-17-2010 at 11:04 PM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      NOTES

      I stand atop the Great Pyramid. I summon dozens of dream bubbles. I shoot tentacles into their dreams. I shout COME TO THE PYRAMIDS. Many dreamers appear. Some are in the Shared Dreaming Class. Many are not. They look disoriented. I feel like an idiot.

      Sorry, go back to your regular dreams.

      Everyone does except AndresLD.

      "Dude, I have to write this in my DJ! Hold on... pen..."

      He hands me a notebook with a big blue DJ on the front and looks in his pockets.

      I shove my face through the book and shout, "YOU ARE DREAMING!"

      Andres looks at me with the book stretched over my face. Oh! he says, and wakes up.

    2. SHARED DREAM: RealShift and WakingNomad

      by , 12-17-2010 at 10:41 PM
      [I]So, I had this experience. I was half awake when I heard the second NOMAD![/I]


      I am asleep. I hear Gypsy yelling at me from the astral plane. It sounds like she wants me to wake up. NOMAD!

      I am confused.

      NOMAD! she shouts again.

      I wake up. I realize it's a dream. I go back to sleep.

      ***

      I wake up, and I have an email from Gypsy telling me to call her.

      ****

      [I]Then, I read this email from Realshift.[/I]

      Shared dreaming
      Hello
      I know this is weird and all, but I've read many of your dreams and decided if there was anyone trying to contact while LD'ing, it would be you.
      Anyway, I had a LD last night (16. Dec) where I tried to contact you. As an experiment.
      I could go into detail, but I'll keep you from having to read it all (wasn't really that interesting anyway).
      The thing is, I called and you answered but I was wondering if it all was manifested by me or if there actually was a connection.

      Thanks
      RealShift

      I get my gun out from the ships guns locker.
      As I fiddle around with it, it dissembles itself and falls to the floor.
      I try to put it back together, but the more I try, the more it falls apart.
      I become lucid and I remember another of the many thing I have to try and do while being lucid. Contacting another dreamer/sharing a dream.

      I call out to a person of whom I have in the past already chosen as the recipient (due to his experience and openness).
      I call out a second time, but this time as loud,strict and determined as I can.
      It could of been a number of reasons why my dream was now hazy. Maybe because of the amount of energy I put in my voice. Or because the dream was becoming unstable.

      I hear some sort of loud response, as if an annoyed person shouted "What?!" to me.
      A moment later a kind of silhouette appeared in front of me. If it was in fact the person I had been trying to contact, or a manifestation of my mind, I don't know.

      I proceeded to ask questions like "who are you", "what are you" and for some reason "what is going to happen".
      He answered the last question with calm words. Unfortunately, I don't remember what these words were. Even though I specifically told myself to remember.
      As he answered me I felt a cold breeze , his face revealed itself in a flash and I wake up

    3. Rescuing Asuka

      by , 12-17-2010 at 10:20 PM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      I meet MoSh in his house. We are playing a video game. Asuka brings us cookies. I knock them over. MoSh: what the hell?

      Me: She's an android!

      MoSh: We are all android.

      Everything is an android. Everything is silver machines. I scream in terror and wake up. I am in the Biodome. I rip wires off my head. I was hooked up to a strange "Dream Machine" created by Nomand Ink. Okay...

      I see Raven, MoSh, and a spectral Asuka watching.

      Raven: So what happened?

      Me: I went into this dream machine's Inner World or something.

      The machine transforms into a silver android.

      "I am here to be sentient. Please show me sentience."

      I give the android a lucidity cookie i had in my pocket from a past dream. I give it to the android. It eats it. Light shoots out of its eyes, and it screams as crumbs fall from it's mouth. Flesh and clothes form over it. It's a female ninja. She says her name is Darkblade. She is a version of Asuka from the past, and was able to manifest here by receiving her energy from the past through the cookie. She says she created a special forging technique to make matte black blades, so no light would be reflected from them.

      Then, she says, "But now is not the time for stealth."

      Darkblade summons a black horse. She gets on its back, and becomes a samurai.

      MoSh looks at her suspiciously.

      Raven says if she had ill will, the Biodome would have kicked her out. MoSh points his pinky at her.

      Suddenly the energy flickers, and I see the true energy of all things, pure colors of moving masses. "Scan her. Scan her!" MoSh insists.

      I scan her with my optical implant. I see there is a strange parasite thing operating the machine from inside. I reach in and yank it out.

      The Biodome zaps it with a laser and destroys it in my hand.

      "Thank you," Shadowblade says. "Now follow me."

      "I don't trust you," says MoSh. "You just had a parasite."

      "We all get parasites. C'mon."

      MoSh looks at me. "I don't trust you either," I say. "You just appeared here out of the past or something, some machine I don't remember making on my asteroid, and now you are this cyborg android harpy ghost thing from a past life?"

      The thing starts to morph into some strange demon beast.

      I open a portal behind it, and tackle it into the portal.

      "DAMMIT! THIS THING IS SOME WEIRD MIMIC! IT'S A DISTRACTION. I WILL KILL IT. YOU TWO FIND ASUKA. I WILL SEND SKYFIRE AND CLAYMORE WITH YOU!"

      "Who's Claymore?"

      "A sentient sword I've been working on! Just let him do his thing!"

      ***

      Throughout this next dream sequence, I can see MoSh and Raven battling in a think bubble.

      I tumble into the portal with the strange thing. It morphs into an android octopus. I morph into an electric shark. I bite it and shock it.

      I turns into a swarm of baby jellyfish. I turn into a whale and eat it.

      I teleports out of me, and changes into an orca, and bites me. I turn into a whaling boat, and harpoon it.

      It turns into cancer and infects me.

      I eat a giant marijuana plant, and it comes out of my pores. It's a ball of dark energy. Selene appears out of a portal. She has a bunch of baddies in a net. She shoots a moon net around this one, and adds it to her collection. She swings them all around, and tosses them into a portal. She flies to me.

      We are on the Moon.

      Selene talks to me.

      We sit on a mountain, and watch a meteor shower together.

      Oh my god! They need us!

      MoSh and Raven come out of a portal with Asuka. "Thanks for sending your dopplegangers to fight with us," Raven says. She is covered in ectoplasm, wearing a blanket. She looks sick. Raven burns off the ectoplasm with violet flame. We take Asuka to the Healing Glen of the Frost Giant.

      We play music. It rains. The rain is gentle and warm. Everything becomes clean. Plants grow over Asuka like clothes, and the blanket disappears. Tigress appears playing a small stringed instrument like a lute.

      The plants form an armor over Asuka. They flower, and each flower drops a seed. The Frost Giant gives us large seeds, a little bigger than walnuts. We open them, and inside is a ring that is a live plant. There is a tiny jewel in the center of a white flower that looks like a pearl. The Frost Giant tells us that these rings will tell us if Asuka is in danger and where to find her.

      He says Asuka needs to sleep for awhile. He picks her up and carries her like a baby. He takes her to his cave and we follow him. He talks with MoSh in the back of the cave.

      Raven is talking with Joseph and the mouth of the cave.

      I interrupt, and ask him if he can be Asuka's guardian. He says he is a dreamer from a parallel universe just like us, so he can't be her guardian when he is awake. Plus, he really has to work on her skills.

      I run back to the Frost Giant and grab the fur on his chest, and shout in his face.

      "Why-" Asuka stirs.

      "Why does Asuka keep getting attacked? Why does she keep getting kidnapped?"

      "She has what They want."

      "What do you mean?"

      "She is a jewel."

      "Why can't we prevent this?"

      "She has to learn to fight. She has to become stronger. The best thing you can do for her is to give her empowerments, and train her to fight. Raven can give her armor and weapons. You can make her armor. MoSh will find a special crystal for her for communication and increasing vibrational frequency. Tigress will teach her hand-to-hand combat, and weapons fighting. Pablo will teach her love attacks and defense. For now, every time you think of her, visualize a sparking white ball encased in a hard blue energy aura going to Asuka's heart charka with the intent of good will and empowerment. She has given you lots of lucidity cookies. Now, it's time to give her empowerments."

    4. Old dreams Pt. 1

      by , 12-17-2010 at 10:06 PM (Ruesia's Dream Journal)
      These are fragments from dreams that I had well over a year ago.

      Dream #1: My Grandmother had died not long before this dream. This is one of the dreams I had


      We are in a mall like store. It is around Christmas time. There are bows and decorations everywhere. There are shoppers. I am alone. I then see my grandmother, but she is young. She is wearing a dark maroon velvet dress and beautiful earrings. Her hair is up in an updo and she is wearing heels. She looks so beautiful- she must be in her thirties. She doesn't talk, just smirks and I am chasing her. I don't know what to call her, because she is obviously too young to be a grandmother. She is running around the various display cases and I am chasing after her. Other shoppers start to run after us too. I follow her around until we reach a door in the rear of the store. She opens it and runs down a flight of stairs. I run after her, a younger man behind me. She stops at the bottom, where there is a door. She bars it with her body and I know I can't go in. I turn to look at the boy behind me, and he tells me "We can't follow her there". My grandmother opens the door and its very light on the other side. She disappears into the light.

      Dream #2: Same time frame

      I am at my grandparents ranch. It is foggy and the trees across the street at large and full grown. It is chilly, misty. I am looking for my grandfather. I see someone rocking in a swing out front. I am alarmed. I walk over to the figure, who is white. It is my grandmother, but she is rotting and dead. I want to scream in my dream, but I can't. I just stare at her, with her eyes and nose both vacant and her flesh loosely hanging on bones.

      Dream #3: This may include fragments from many dreams, but they are all interconnected

      I am at my grandparents' ranch. I am usually trying to get out a horse or I am visiting my grandfather. It is usually dusk, or getting dark. Each of these times, my grandmother appears. She appears as she was when I remember her being healthy and happy. Not when she was dying from the cancer. I remember I would ask her what she was doing here. I ask her how she can be here if she's dead. She just smiles at me and doesn't answer. I try to tell other people that she's back but they give me strange looks.

      Dream #4: I had this dream well over 2 years ago

      I am playing in my other grandparents' backyard in Modesto. It is the Oakbrook house. Its backyard lines up to the river bottom. The lawn swoops downward from the house. I remember I am running up and down the backyard. I feel something strange in my ear. I pull it- a blue chord appears. When I tuck it, I can feel it pulling out of my ear. Like its part of my ear drum. I immediately try to stuff it back in, but it is loose and spills out. I am alarmed. I remember it is sunny, warm, and there is a lemon tree in the backyard.

      Dream #5: I had this dream well over 2 years ago

      I remember sitting in the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror. When I open my mouth, I see my teeth are loose. I pull on them and my entire top row of teeth and gums comes loose. It is dark and decayed. It falls from the roof of my mouth in layers, like a layered biscuit. I am horrified and try to push it back up.

      Dream #6: This dream was well over 2 years ago

      I am at my grandparents' ranch. I can't remember what i'm doing, but I hear an explosion and I see the sky light up in bright oranges and dark plumes of smoke. The shockwave of the nuclear blast reaches me and I am consumed. I then wake up, and I am still alive. My vision is blurry, there is soot and dirt falling everywhere, and I feel my way around. I find it strange that I survived a nuclear explosion. Everything around me is on fire and dead or dying.

    5. Fragment - Zzz... I'm Late...

      by , 12-17-2010 at 09:46 PM
      Type: Regular dream.
      Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
      Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

      This was a false awakening. I woke up in my bed, not lifting my head up more than a few inches. It was dark in the bedroom, and I couldn't see anything but the faint outlines of my wooden dresser and night table. There was a slight light bluish wash over the room that came from a small rectangular window above my bed, but this didn't make the location any lighter.

      I looked at my alarm clock, rather groggily. The glowing red numbers read 7:40, which was much later than I normally wake up.

      "Crap... I'm late for school... Why didn't my alarm clock go off...?"

      I just shrugged it off and put my head down into the pillow again, closing my eyes.

      Within moments I woke up for real, and this time the clock read 6:15.

    7. Mittens Returns

      by , 12-17-2010 at 09:06 PM
      I cried when I woke up after having this dream.

      I was at my house, looking out the glass sliding door to the backyard. Suddenly Mittens (my lovely kitten who passed away in August) was there. I could see every detail of her clearly. The white cresent moon shape on her forehead, her white paws, even her little green-grey eyes. She meowed and seemed to say "I want in please!" and I opened the door, letting her walk inside. She ran into my room and I let her sit on my bed. She hopped on to my shoulder like she used to always do and purred into my ear. I could feel her soft fur, it felt so real, and see the life in her eyes. She looked exactly like she did when she was alive. It was almost like she was an angel, or spirit, coming to visit me in my dreams, to tell me, "I'll always be with you, in your dreams, in your heart, and in your mind." Then I woke up

      It was so sad. I miss Mittens more than ever. The dream felt so real. I didn't want to wake up from it. Has anyone else had a dream similar to this?

    8. Attempt to fly to the moon & looking at the mirror

      by , 12-17-2010 at 09:06 PM
      On my way out side I remembered another thing I could do, look at myself in the mirror.
      I went over to the mirror and saw some kind of a demon/zombie, It had my face but with camo on it. I didn't stare at it too long because it was, to be honest, scary looking..

      Eventually I got to the door heading out. Reached up and started to fly (I find it very easy to fly in dreams).
      What I should have done , was to see where the moon actually was. I was to impatient though and because of that I spent a while looking for it in mid air.
      After a while, I saw it. Big, white and looking exactly like it normally does.
      I started flying towards it, making myself going faster and faster. I could actually feel the cold wind on my body.

      I was getting closer and closer but somehow the moon was getting smaller and smaller. Suddenly it was right in front of my, BUT the size of a pea!..It looked like a little light bulb. Being unable to slow down I flew right past it and found myself floating in darkness with no idea where to go.

      Everything was shaking and it felt like I was moving through water.
      I was trying to stabilize it all, but forgot how to.
      I closed my eyes to think and I woke up.

    9. First LD

      by , 12-17-2010 at 09:05 PM
      I forgot to do any of the normal reality checks like looking at my hand ect, I started to spin around to make the dream stable ( I've read so many posts saying thats a good thing to do). To check If it was a dream, I headed out on to the deck to see if there was anything unusual there.
      When I got out, everything around me was completly normal (same location, time of day and so on). Also there were no alarms different lighting or shattering glass (usual dream signs).

      Desperate to see if all this was actully real I concidered jumping overboard, but didn't since I was so unsure if I was dreaming or not.
      Instead I figured I could try to fly.
      I reached up and jumped as high as I could while being absolutely determined to fly. Surely enough..I was flying!
      Being thrilled about being lucid, I started to see how high I could go, but was quickly stopped by this rope kind of thing arround my waist. Though it seemed like it was coming out of my stomach (wierd) and was attached to the boat beneath me..

      This rope started to tug on me and it made me loose my "balance" in the air, making me fall back down. As I hit the deck, I woke up.

    10. Long-distance guy, new guy, & kitty

      by , 12-17-2010 at 08:37 PM (NBF's DJ)
      I had a dream last night where I was at some camp (frequent dream setting) and Colm was there, but he didn't want to talk to me until he saw where this other relationship was going. Then a very good-looking blond guy was there at the top of a hill I was walking up, and he was talking on a payphone. (Does anyone even do that anymore?) He was talking about fixing a car. I pretended to trip near him, and when I came up, I "accidentally" bit his neck. (In dreaming or waking life, boldest move I've ever made sober. The bumpy ride in Cancun in the crowded back seat next to Colm doesn't count. Free pina coladas all day at that resort.) He looked up and smiled. I smiled and said, "Oh! Sorry!" He smiled back and quickly finished his call and I was about to walk away and leave it at that. He started to walk beside me and said, "Kind of weird weather, isn't it?" Now, even I know that in this situation, that's code for, "Let's talk and get to know each other and maybe (adult content) later." So I started to engage him in conversation about the weather.

      Eventually, he says, like most men, "Look, I have to go, but I'll call you later, okay?" Without getting my number. All you can really effectively do at that point is smile and say okay - I've learned through many hard experiences that the more you protest, the worse it gets. But this dude continued, "You have to figure some things out. We've met before. You'll recognize me when you see me again at Mummy Love." Mummy Love was the name of a daycare centre, apparently. I tried to place him, but couldn't, as he continued, "Munich is past." Munich = Germany = Colm. In this dream, Colm was a native German.

      Then I was back in my room with my duffel bag, changing. I was trying to decide whether to wear the dark skinny jeans tonight, at the dance, or wear them the next day for the road trip (when I'd see Colm for sure because we'd say goodbye) and stay away and read a C. S. Lewis book out of the school library instead. I got a feeling I'd be a lot happier hanging back and reading the book. I didn't want to hear that Colm and his girlfriend were growing closer instead of what I expected, which was (and, quite frankly, is) that Colm will continue to feel trapped to the point that it drives him to a breaking point, his girlfriend will pick up on it and it will bother her to the point that she behaves in such a way that pushes him away even faster (yess!! Someone else can be that girl for a change!) and through all this, I will seem like the mysterious and diaphanous memory and the one that he can't have.

      At that point, Incubus meows and shows up from behind a corner. I realize that this is a dream, because I remember that Incubus has died. But I also remember that I'd prayed so hard to be able to hold him again, even in a dream. So I pick him up - but he's covered with litterbox misfire and sweat, the way he was on the second-last day. I handle him carefully - he's almost dead. I don't feel the bliss I usually feel when I'm holding him. (I feel it now that I'm thinking of holding him - it's an all-over glowing in my chest.) Why am I feeling no bliss when I'm getting my prayer answered - being able to hold his dear little physical body again?

      I still can't change the dream. I wake up.

    11. First Full Dream!! Plus lame false awakening, and resulting fragment.

      by , 12-17-2010 at 07:30 PM
      I was a senator, or congressman, like Tom Hanks in that movie about the middle east. There was a woman who talked to me. I had a meeting on a plane. Also there were cookies there.

      I woke up from the dream. I remembered to lay in bed and run the dream through my head backwards. I remembered every detail. I was very proud. After I made sure I had it fixed in my head. I wrote it down in my notebook. I peed and then went back to sleep.

      I really woke up. Still had to pee. Said WTF to myself. Looked in my dream journal..... Nothing. F@#K. Although as I was being pissed off about this fact, another dream just sort of floated up into my consciousness:

      I had just finished watching a play with my girlfriend. I don't remember the play, perhaps there wasn't one. We went up on the stage to help clean up. There was a sort of shack built in the middle and we went inside. Inside it was large and very bright, even though it should have been dark. There was a very deep shaft with a ladder and lots of pipes and such. I went down the ladder a ways, but it was a very very tight fit. My girlfriend came to the top of the shaft and said "look what I found!" It was an arm sized bit of handrail made out of a brassy coppery metal. It looked nothing like part of a handrail, but that's what we knew it was. It was shaped vaguely like a J with two tails, and tapered ends. We thought it was the best discovery ever. Since I couldn't fit to get to the bottom of the ladder, she asked if I thought I could throw the junk we were cleaning up down to the bottom, where she would take care of it. I threw a piece down, and it bounced off of a few pipes and the wall, so I was concerned that I would have a hard time being accurate with the throwing, and she wouldn't be able to catch the stuff.

      It was really weird. The point of veiw was kind of like me looking through a mirrior. I was looking at my back and there was this weird green stuff all over my back I can remember washing it off but it just seemed to pour out of my pores. Thats all i can remember.

    13. The horrible student + A weird way to awaken

      by , 12-17-2010 at 06:27 PM
      Non-lucid Half lucid Lucid Other notes

      The horrible student

      Once again, I was at my teacher practice. I had a group of students that I had had several times before for real. However, today a new student had joined this group. Apparently, he was called "Crayfish" due to his special haircut, which looked rather cool. Because of this it was easy to recognize him even from behind, because the haircut looked extra special at the back of his neck and was very characteristic for him. I got this short presentation of him by the dream itself as I saw him from behind. At the same time I had this really ominous feeling because of him.

      When he had entered the classroom I quickly realized that he was a horrible person. He was very rude all the time, stood and walked around in the classroom without any respect whatsoever and we did not even have a lesson because of him. When he had said about the hundredth rude thing to me I could not stop myself, so I slapped his cheek. He did not like this. For a few seconds he stared darkly at me and then he quickly punched me in the stomach. I wondered if I should hit him back, but decided that it was best not to. After all, it could get really dangerous. The others just stood around in the classroom and did not dare to say or do anything. They seemed to fear "Crayfish".

      Later during the same lesson, or maybe on the next lesson with this group, it got even worse. "Crayfish" held my arms and dragged me around the floor. I was frightened and could not do anything and I did not dare say anything. Still, no one else dared to say or do anything either. When he finally released me I quickly got up on my feet and ran out of the classroom, to the right in a corridor and came into a rather large, wooden room with several teachers sitting and having a coffee break or something. I was almost out of breath and desperately cried "We need HELP in there!" and added something about "Crayfish". The teachers in the room looked puzzled and even shocked. Then one of them (a woman in her thirties or fourties, I think) stepped forward and walked back with me to the classroom. In some way she managed to get him out of there by saying something. However, the lesson seemed to be over anyway.

      The next day I had the same group again. Somehow I was sure that "Crayfish" would not show up today. But I was wrong. Outside the classroom several platforms (like those at a train station) passed by (or maybe it was the classroom that was moving). Soon it stopped and I could see "Crayfish" stand out there with his characteristic hairstyle and his back facing the classroom. This view felt very ominous to me once again, but even more this time and I knew that he would turn around any second and walk into the classroom...

      I do not remember anything more from this dream and I believe it just faded away after I had seen this last image of his back.


      A weird way to awaken

      After I had had another dream I heard a noise which made me begin to awaken. I had now awakened enough to notice that I was in my bed, but was really confused about the noise that was heard. I thought that it sounded like cinnamon in sound form... I groggily turned around several times in confusion to try and hear from which direction I heard this noise, but this was very hard to tell. Finally, I noticed a stuffed elk to the right in my bed. I realized that "they" had somehow hidden the noise inside it. I grabbed its leg, which felt like stuffed animal legs normally do. However, the stuffed elk was soon gone and I begun wondering if that noise was really my alarm clock. But I still felt confused, because I still did not recognize it. As I thought about it some more I begun to fully awaken and realized that it actually was my alarm clock...
    14. Food Court Lucidity, the Low Cave, the Beach

      This is one of my
      Five-Star Lucids


      Type: DILD.
      Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
      Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

      Notes:
      I have no idea where this dream came from! It was very long and extremely clear.

      I was in the food court of some mall. It was a larger room with normal-height ceilings, and was lit well. There were a few nice half-walls to divide up the room into smaller sections, which were then filled with square tables and chairs. The tables were fastened to the ground through thicker poles like in some restaurants, and the chairs were just the regular kind, like something you'd find in a cafeteria.

      There were restaurants lining the walls, and I was situated in front of one of them. It was a fast food type of restaurant with lots of signs and menus against the back wall, and the counter was a few inches lower than it should have been. There were four women standing behind the counter; all four of them were dressed in a pale red t-shirt, and had a navy apron on. They also wore navy visors. One woman had blonde hair in a hairtie, and another had brown hair down to her shoulders. The other two had black hair - one's was straight, and the other's was curly. They looked between the ages of thirty and forty.

      I became lucid when I looked at them, shouting "woohoo!" before calming down. I was lucid enough to be careful of overexcitement, even though I've never woken up from it before. Unfortunately, having forgotten about my current dream goal, I decided to mess around with the dream characters in the food court. I walked up to the counter of the restaurant with the four women and asked them, "how many of there are you?" as if I was very surprised, hoping to get an interesting response.

      "I'm one," the first one said.
      "I'm two," the second one said.
      "I'm three," the third one said.
      The fourth lady didn't answer, but instead a voice from inside the restaurant somewhere said, echoingly and omnipresently, "I'm six."

      I raised my eyebrows and walked away, a bit humored.

      Then, I began to walk towards a woman that was sitting down at a two-chair table by herself. She had dirty-blonde hair down to her shoulders, and was wearing a light pink cashmere sweater, with sleeves that stopped at her arms. I leaned over, putting my elbows on the table, and held an imaginary microphone in my right hand, holding it out to her.

      "You're not real."
      "I know." The DC shrugged it off.
      "What's it like to be a dream character?"
      "It feels real to me."

      "Great answer!" I exclaimed, though I was admittedly a bit disappointed in the reply.

      I walked away, down the food court and past other restaurants and tables, and exited it, as if it were a store. I emerged into the atrium of a mall, and apparently I was on the second floor. There was a big hole in the middle, with the entrances to stores on the sides, like in some mall setups. There was a rather flat escalator leading down to the first floor, not as angled as a normal one. It was probably only at a 20 degree angle to the ground. I walked towards it and superjumped down, taking two jumps to get almost to the bottom. I then walked off the escalator, which turned out to not be moving. None of the DCs walking around the mall noticed.


      I'd now lost my lucidity. About ten feet across from the escalator I'd just came down on, there was another escalator leading back up to the second floor. I ran up it, exerting hardly any energy to do so even though it wasn't moving either, and on this side of the mall the floor was flatter pink carpet - I was in the children's clothing section. I saw a 7- or 8-year old girl walking around with her father, but I ignored it.

      The dream skipped, and now I found myself in the changeroom waiting area of the same section of the mall. This room was small, about five feet by five feet, and there was only one door leading to an actual changeroom. The walls were white. I was sitting on a lighter wooden bench; my dad was beside me. I became vaguely aware that I was dreaming so I got up, turned away from my dad (who was talking about something nonsensical), and told him to be quiet.

      "So, the train is in the park," he said, and laughed loudly.
      "Shut up!" I told him angrily.

      I was trying to turn him into a plate of cookies, but his noise-making was ruining the effect.

      After telling him to close his mouth a billion times, I got fed up. I groaned and looked at him, rolling my eyes in the process. "You suck."


      The dream skipped again, and now I was outside, the time of day probably being in the afternoon. I was in a city, on a smaller grassy hill. There were normal, taller city buildings around me - apartments, condos, and nice large houses. At the bottom of the hill, which wasn't that steep, there was a relatively large burrow made of grey brick and stone. There was grass, some street lights, and a sidewalk on top of it. The entrance to the burrow was low and only two or three feet high, which made me a bit uncertain about going into it. I looked past the burrow, towards my left, and my gaze caught The Matrix's Morpheus and Trinity on a balcony of an apartment complex. The building was rectangular and rather normal looking, if such a thing existed in a dream. Trinity walked into the sliding doors of the apartment, but Morpheus spoke.

      "Where are we going to meet?" he called.
      "Under here," I said, continuing to look at him.
      "Understreet, or underburrow?"

      (There's no such thing as understreet or underburrow!)

      "Under this burrow, dipshit."

      I then proceeded to look away and bring my attention back to the burrow. I walked to the right and went down the hill a few paces, realizing there was a much larger entrance. I went inside and it was pretty dark, but the floor and walls of the cave (which were made of huge chunks of shiny, wet grey rock) reflected some light from the end of the burrow. It was more like a tunnel than anything else, yet it was only seven or eight feet long. There were some Korean or Chinese students in blue jeans and t-shirts who were taking pictures with Kodak cameras, but I walked past them and emerged from the burrow.

      It was now night, and I had walked out onto a beach. The sand wasn't hilly, but pretty flat, and felt soft under my feet. At this time, I wasn't sure if I was wearing socks or shoes but I didn't care. I walked down the empty shore (except for the water and sand) for a little while and then came across a forty-foot high cliff made of dark brown rock. I stopped and looked out at the water, and then the moon, which was relatively glazed-over and hazy. The sky was dark navy with grey patches, as if there were low-hanging clouds.

      I heard someone walking up to me. I looked and saw a small Asian girl, probably around the age of six or seven, coming towards me. She was wearing a plain, sleeveless, yellow-beige dress with accents of white half-circles lining the bottom of it. She held out a rounded rectangular bar of light pink soap, and I took it. It didn't feel slippery or, really, like soap. It just felt like a smooth stone, but not as heavy.

      I am confused.
