Missed a dream sign..

After grad night I got in late and was dreaming about lots of people wearing suits. Should have picked up on the dream sign but I missed it. When I was dreaming I remember thinking to myself, "that's odd.". Lots of negative imagery in the dream also, negative feelings, situations and ideas.. Likely something to do with *her.

"At the time of your appearing you will make them like a fiery furnace. In his wrath the LORD will swallow them up, and his fire will consume them."
~ Psalm 21:9

This one was epic. It was a video game dream, and those are always fun, and sometimes inspirational. The only downside to a video game dream is that, due to the fact that I saw it as a video game, I can not recall what exactly I did. I don't memorize what I'm doing while gaming unless I actually need to, and I didn't need to. So alas, I can only give a description of how the game worked.
There was a ghost with a bag. The ghost was a simple, cartoonish thing, and the ghost would go about a 2-D side-scroller platform level collecting stray spirits and avoiding enemies. It was like a treasure hunt, or a puzzle game, but it had a similar feel to Super Mario Bros. 2. The ghost was looking for stray malevolent spirits, mostly fire spirits. He would collect them in his sack and bring them to (this is so awesome) throw them in a furnace to burn for eternity! The incessant moaning became an annoying part of the game, though.

"brb/collecting spirits to thrust into a furnace for eternity."

"We never understand how little we need in this world until we know the loss of it."
~ James Matthew Barrie

I saw a man dressed in reddish rags sitting on a street corner. Brown was the color of his hair and eyes, and his skin was fairly filthy. He had a life, a wife, two children, but all were gone. He never bothered to tell how he lost it all. He just looked at me and flipped a coin.
This was mega depressing. Alas, alas, it was only a fragment. It also was so realistic, even when it comes to being like reality that I didn't notice it was a dream. Honestly, there was nothing wrong with this one.

Only one dream to report – bummer. Alan Jackson in the background as I type.

Motel work and the ex

This was a goofy dream in that we (my ex-wife & I) are checking in hunters for the deer season. But we’re not checking people in from our office. It’s an older two-story house. I don’t even recognize the house, but it feels familiar.

A group of hunters comes up the stairs – one of the normal threesome in Real Life. When they get up to the counter, they pay for the room, and for whatever reason I took the cash drawer out and set it on top of the counter. I never so that. Donna looked at me rather strange by this move. Then one of the hunters made a playful grab for a stack of five dollar bills. He and I are fighting for the money at this point.

After I gain control of the money, Donna makes a comment about having a real cash drawer and this wouldn’t happen. (Yeah, if we could afford it). She was referring to one of those large old antique cash machines. It was as if I could read her mind in what she looked forward to in a cash drawer. We showed the hunters out and to their room.

That was the dream. There was more, but as this was the last of the night (4:30) I had to rely on memory this evening to recall it.

Dream Lucid In Dream Thoughts

Fragments
Inflatable playground in our living room.

Finding a packet of cigarettes on the floor, pulled one out and it lit itself and the trying to put it out but couldn't.

Something about flying around with rocket boots or something.

Getting in a argument with a kid in my class which caused us to have a fight and then he pulled out a knife.

Power of the Time Lords [Fragments] (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I haven't been able to write down my dreams (I've been reeeeeally busy) so this is just fragments.

I remember being in a dusty tomb deep underground. Some of it was in ruins, other parts were almost in pristine condition. I fell through the sky light of a nice house, I think the house was in the mountains and the Tomb was under this house.

I know David Tennant/Doctor. Who was there, but I'm unaware if he was helping me or hurting me. What I mean by that is that there was someone who had great power (could shoot some sort of energy out of his hands) in the tomb and was set on the intent of killing me. We had a long and grand battle that lasted what felt like an entire night.

Early morning before the sun came out I remember running down a big grassy hill with huge square stones scattered across it. I used those to hide behind. Why? Because I was being chased by some private army with machine guns.

Late Boarding Protocol [Fragments] (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm trying to catch a flight to England, I walk through a room that's a recreation of a planes flight cabin. I was complaining about how cramped it was. After I finally board the plane the flight attendant states that the runway is no longer available because I and my mum were late.

"Activate Late Boarding Protocol," she says and the entire plane starts to turn nose up.

"What are we doing?!" I say rushed and panicked.

"We're going to launch our selves via rocket propelled engines into the air," she replied.

Mum freaked out and I had to calm her down.


I remember fragments of walking through fairly bad parts of an English town. The roads were made of rust colored bricks and the sunset lit the sky up as if it were on fire, the entire sky was a blazing orange and red. Almost like a scene from a film when something really terrible was happening to the world.

Aimless Exploration (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm walking through my kitchen with Shanice and Elodie, we walk outside and as I'm walking down the driveway I realize this is only a dream. I'm not really excited about the fact that I'm dreaming, I don't feel the same thrill or rush that I usually do. Everything is bland and has no appeal. I just jump up in the air and try to fly. After a short while I lose my lucidity and get caught in a strong wind, I remember holding onto the roof of my dad's shed trying to keep from being blown away.

Surprise (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm talking to Shanice on MSN when I decide to call her.

"Hello?" She answers.

"Hi" I say shyly. I hate phones, they make me nervous.

Shift.

Suddenly I'm walking down a sidewalk, I know that I'm in England and I know where I'm going. All the houses look different, they're farther apart and most of them are painted white, they all have bigger backyards too. They look nothing like the homes in Havant. But regardless, Shanice lives on this street in the dream. I walk down the street, cell phone in hand. I walk up to the front door and am about to knock when I see a man move behind the house. I know he shouldn't be there so I chase him around the house. When I reach the back yard I can't find anyone and just seem to know that he's gone.

My cell rings.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Hello, I'm bored, what are you up to?" Shanice asks.

I see her through the window of the back door, she's at the computer. I grin.

"Not much" I say in an amused tone. I quietly open the back door and walk softly towards her.

"What ARE you doing?" She asks suspicious.

I end the call. She looks at the phone confused, unsure of what happened.

"Not much" I answer from behind her.

She jerks around and looks at me in shock, but then smiles and tackles me.

"Who wants cookies?!" Her mother walks in, oddly enthusiastic and totally different than I expected.

Shift.

We've finished all but one of the cookies now, we're sitting next to the computer and the plate with one cookie is sitting on the desk.

"You have the last one," I say in an amused tone.

"Oh no, I already ate too many," she says.

"Come on, live adventurously" I tease.

She raises one eyebrow in question then smiles. She breaks the cookie in half, sticks one half in my mouth and the other in hers.

"...Okay" I say chuckling, mouth full.

Recall ends.


Fragment:

I remember watching from one of the highest places in the world as the entire world flooded. I was nearly washed away with several other survivors but the water stopped rising just a few 100 yards before It was too late.

When it Rains, It Pours [Nightmare] (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I wake up to my TV tuned to the local news channel, the weather man is giving his hourly report.

"As you can see there's a low pressure pocket right above Travis county, most likely we'll see some pretty good sized thunder storms over the next week or so. There are sever thunder storm warnings for Bastrop, Blanco, Travis, Hays, Lee and Caldwell counties." He finished.

I got out of bed and went to the back door where my father was standing. He was looking outside, he seemed concerned.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Look," he said pointing towards the sky in the direction of our front yard.

I walked past him and stepped out onto the porch, I saw not only a massive thunderstorm moving in, but what looked like a giant wall of water rushing towards us.

"Dad! What do we do?! Should I let the dogs out of their cages?! Surely they'll drown if I don't?!"

He remains quiet, all the while the huge wall of water rushes towards us.

"DAD?! DAD!!! WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!"

He still didn't answer. He wouldn't act. I was terrified.

I wake up in a cold sweat. The emotions in this dream were weird, I was really scared unlike in most of my dreams.

Mistake [Nightmare] (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm in a dark abandoned hospital. There's dirty water on the ground and broken glass everywhere. I'm searching for a rape victim who's body was said to of been dumped there. This dream shifts a lot, one minute it's just a computer game, the next I'm in it. It switches back and forth a lot. I remember at some point pressing keys on a keyboard trying to get doors to open up, but they wouldn't work.

Anyway, I don't know how but I'm searching for my own body. I look in open vaults and bloody hallways, hospital rooms with the windows broken and rain pouring through them. Sometimes I'll walk through a door and wind up in a fully functional WalMart but I just turn around and keep searching.

I walk down another hall and see a well lit hallway ahead, once I reach it I see a vault that's partially open. Curious, I approach it and pull the huge door open. Behind it is a red battered wooden door that just screams danger, but I open it anyway. Inside is what appears to be an old freezer, there are red sacks stuck to the walls. I instantly know they are eggs and that I should leave. I worry if they hatch that the beasts inside them will be too powerful for the world outside to handle, so I take a shotgun and shoot one of the egg sacks. Bad idea. The monster awakens. It looks terrifying, it has no skin so you can see it's mussels and joints. It just floats in the air, I think it had no legs. There's a weird yellow-ish aura under it and it follows in wisps behind it when the monster moves. I notice that monster is growing in size rapidly.

It lets out a shriek and I run out into the WalMart/Grocery store. I run past the bank inside the store and see my grandmother inside, she's complaining about a new checking system. I stop to tell her to get out, but the monster lets out another shriek and I here the back wall crumble, I know he's broken through it and into the store. I run. I run through the clothing section, the monster right behind me now. He grabs people and eats them, the sound of their death is horrifying. I run past my family members, my mother shopping, my brother wandering around trying to find her. I run past them and the monster grabs them. I hear them scream and I let out a choked breath, almost tripping. I make my way towards the seafood section, I know there is a freezer back there. I find it and hide there. I know the monster can break into it, but I don't care anymore. I lay on the floor, wishing to just die.

"It's all my fault," I say choked.

I'm unable to cry, unable to move, unable to function. I hear movement outside, I can tell the demon-like being has acknowledged my pain and thinks it best to let me live; he wants me to suffer. I hear him outside, he snorts and runs away.
Fragments:

I'm watching a town get ripped apart by the monster in third person. The sky is a fiery red. I remember him ripping part the starting gates at a dog race and the dogs escaping onto the streets.
