      SOLO SENTENCE ESPRESSO

      The agent says, "You can't escape this; your fingerprints are a match," and I smirk and rub at my handcuffed wrists, shifting the patterns on my fingertips into something unrecognizable.

    2. Goonie's Treasure

      Goonie's Treasure
      Recall: 5/10
      Sleep: Poor
      Sleep Position: Unknown
      My brother and I are sweeping out something like train cars, from the back to the front. Each one was a level of some treasure dungeon we just completed. We get to the front compartment and a group of us begins pressing colored crystal buttons to gain access to the treasure.

      Some people warp to the treasure container while others stay behind to fiddle with the crystal code. I say I want to be there when the treasure opens to see it. We hit the combination of crystals to warp me to my desired location. I fell myself begin to fade out and reappear elsewhere in total darkness. I then hear an error message saying thee are already 2 emerald coffins and 2 gemstones in this area, and I warp back to where I started, curious as to what the gemstones looked like.

      As the others play with the crystals, I walk up to the bone keyboard from the Goonies. I press some keys, and the whole thing falls over, then sinks into the floor. A small bar then appears in it's place, and that too slowly sinks into the floor. I try to get the other's attention, but they ignore me. The bar reappears and again sinks through the floor. I call to the others again who finally look.

      Somehow, I've reset the entire dungeon, and we have to start everything over again. We think it should be easy this time because we know what to do. The room we are in gets a large puddle in the middle of the floor that begins to expand. There is also an extension cord plugged in the wall and sitting in the puddle.

      "This room was electricity!" one of my companions says. Another runs up and quickly unplugs the cord. We think that solves our problem, but two glowing electric hands materialize out of thin air. I can't remember how we dealt with this last time. Perhaps luring the electric hands into the extension cord? I look for the cord but it's gone.

      The electric hands chase us and we flee before them. They almost corner me a couple of times, and I just narrowly avoid them. They chase, way too close for comfort, and I sprint up some stairs. The hands encounter an invisible barrier at the bottom of the stairs, and flame up as they press against it.

    3. Dream about the Rapture

      by , 01-29-2011 at 07:17 PM
      non dream dream lucid

      I was sitting in my room. Everything seemed normal. I left my room and went to the living room, thinking my parents would be there. They were'nt. I went to my little sister and little brother, who were playing in their room. I asked them where mom and dad were. They said that they were probably in their room, watching a movie. So I went in to their room. They were not there. It looked like they had been, but they were not there now. I panicked and called them on their cell phones. Neither one answered. I called my older brother, Zach, and he didn't answer either. I ran back to my brother and sister and screamed, "The rapture happened, we were left behind!" then I noticed they were no longer there. They had gone too. I didn't understand why I'd been left behind. I've been a Christian all my life. I loved God. I was ao confused. I cried and screamed and kicked everything I could. Then I saw my bible, sitting on my bed, and I cried harder. I went over to my window, outside it was a sickly yellow color, and I prayed to God to give me a second chance. I knew he wouldn't. I had missed it. Now I was doomed to the same fate as everyone else who had been left behind. I walked to my school, and went into the band room. My best friends, Emily, Daniel, Keygan, and Jared were there (Jared is also my boyfriend). Both Emily and Daniel are Christians like me and they knew what was going on, but like me they didn't know why they'd been left behind. I looked at Jared and Keygan who were confused and said, "Guys, Jesus came back and took all the Christians. It might seem bad now, but it's gonna get worse." Jared embraced me crying and said, "You were right! All those times you told me about God, you were right! Why didn't I listen to you!?" I hugged him back and said into his ear, "Give your heart to God, he's the only one who can let us survive this. Please. Do this for me." Jared nodded, still crying uncontrollably, and he gave his heart to God. Keygan did too, and he was crying. I reached into a bag I was carrying, it had bibles in it, and I gave one each to Keygan and Jared. Emily and Daniel had one with them. We left the school building and went to my house. We all cried and prayed. I held on to Jared, sobbing into his shoulder. Emily, Daniel, and I didn't know at all why we had been left behind. Jared softly kissed my cheek in an attempt to comfort me. Then they all went to their homes. I felt so alone. My family was gone. I had been the only one left behind. I loved God just as much as they did, but I was so confused. The next "day" we all met back in the band room and discussed who the Anti-Christ might be. We had no idea. Suddenly, someone was in the room with us. He looked evil and we ran from him, going through a corn field and ending up at my house. There we stayed for "days", not daring to leave the house. Outside there were people cutting down the little woods that was near us. We held bible study every day, it seemed to be the only thing keeping us alive. One "morning" I "woke up" and looked outside, the trees there were gone now. Jared walked up to me, and I told him, "What if this is all a dream? If it is, I want to wake up NOW." the dream went fuzzy, causing me to go lucid, and I told myself to not wake up. I looked at Jared with teary eyes and said, "This is a dream. When we wake up, everyone will still be there." Then I embraced him, kissing him slightly. He asked me if he and the others were dreaming too. I said, "I don't know. But if you are, then I hope you have learned from this dream, and that in the waking world, you'll give your heart to God just like you did here. I love you. I'm going to wake up now." Then I grabbed his hand. And I saw myself fade away as I woke up. This was one of the most vivid dreams I've ever had in my life.

    4. Mall road rage.

      by , 01-29-2011 at 07:16 PM
      I am driving my car and I turn into a mall parking lot. As I drive towards the other end of the lot all of a sudden a small naked child runs in front of me. I slam on my brakes an manage to miss him. After that cars keep backing out in front of me, I am getting very angry. I all of a sudden have a blowout on the right side. I keep control and soon it goes back to normal. I am so angry I speed up and speed through the parking lot. Just as I get out onto the road I pass a cop. I then notice I'm in the wrong side of a four lane road. The cop turns around and turns on his siren. I pull over to the side of the road and tell him the story. Dream ends there.

    6. My School - 50 Years Ago

      by , 01-29-2011 at 06:15 PM (Raspberry's Second Life)
      Awake Non-Lucid Semi-Lucid

      I'm walking down the road that's outside my school. There's a guy with me, but I don't pay much attention to him. I've traveled back in time to see what my school was like fifty years ago. I'm not that excited. Everything has a slight brown tinge, as if the atmosphere is old.

      I walk into the entrance hall, and am quite surprised by how similar it is to the one we have now. I don't look around too much. The guy who's with me says I need to get changed for P.E.

      [Dreamskip] I'm in the quad. I am astonished that instead of concrete, it is grass, and the school is in small, pretty blocks of white and brown houses instead of the disgusting dark square we have at the moment. "This is what it was like?" I whisper, and several of the people around me look at me as if i'm crazy, because they obviously belong to this time.


      I get the faint idea that i'm dreaming, and the dream becomes a little more vivid. I walk to the back of one of the blocks to look around. Someone shouts behind me, and I spin around to find Snape from Harry Potter pointing a thin, black wand at me. I pull out my own wand.

      "You think you can defeat me?" He sneers. I feel determined. I shout a spell and expect it to blast towards him, but instead, a pink trail of cloudy smoke appears from the tip of my wand. I heads towards Snape, but he slowly walks out of its way. When he fires a spell, it does the same.

      I'm tired of this boring "dual". "Expelliarmus!" I shout. Snape's wand flies from his grasp. "Accio wand!" It soars into my outstretched hand.


      Snape's face falls. He knows he's failed. I glower at him. "You have been defeated," I hiss. "Go home!" I point away, and he shuffles off into the distance.

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had two interesting dreams today. I woke up around 2:35 am and went to my reclining chair to try to Astral Project. I could not focus properly. Yesterday I prepared my taxes online and they worked out better than I though, so I was somehow excited. I went back to bed without success at about 03:02 AM. I have a few metaphysical requests to complete, but I know when my body is ready for that, and it wasn't last night. I focused on having a lucid dream, but on nothing specific. I completed the task of the month for February. I do not stop surprising myself with these taks. I have not incubated this task at all (in fact, I have not even focused on it) I guess my alter ego or subconscious loves these tasks... I always end up doing them, sometimes without knowing how. In fact, I only do the ToTM, because I am not really interested on the ToTY (my admin status would override the ToTY status) My streak is for eight months in a row... At least, I saw this on the 27th and dreamed it on the 30th.

      Second dream (ToTM):

      I needed to go to catch a plane to go somewhere. I was on a dirt road driving my car. If I had enough speed, my car would turn into a plane and started to fly. The interior of my car was exactly as my real waking car. I started to drive and to increase speed. I suddenly saw a 40 limit sign. I was suprised there was such sign, the road where I was, was exclusively for planes. I suddenly saw a lot of turns and made my driving harder (I was going fast and some where sharp turns) I could see the sand and dust around the exterior of my car, some mosquitoes and the bright sun bothered me (I wore no sunglasses for some reason)

      Suddently, I found myself running in these weird place. I could see two planes getting farther every time and flying away. I was pissed because I missed my plain and it would be impossible to catch it. I tried to take off without success, I needed to run faster to take off. I ran a few minutes and got to the end of the road. It was night now and I saw a city with a lot of lights and buildings.


      I realized that it made no sense all these plane stuff so I turned lucid. I was not grounded enough and somehow still following the plot. A voice told me that I needed to fly to the plane. I started to fly to the plane and the voice told me to fly faster. I started to complain out loud, "Gee... easy to be said. I just turned lucid right now and it has not been a lot I fell asleep. I will wake up!!!" The voice ignored me. I saw a few planes in the sky, some where close and some where far. I saw a few tiny planes (well, not tiny, but those were far, far away already) The voice told me my, "Your plane is one of the farther ones, get it." I complained, "Oh come on!!!! Those are very far and I will not even know which one is mine." I saw a plane pretty close to me. The plane had little dots of light (like starts) following it.

      I landed and I though, "Screw this plane thing... I do not care. I am dreaming." I approached a wall and I saw a very dark void. I realized it was a wormhole. I though, "Well, another ToTM where my subconscious does the hard for me, good!" I entered the wormhole and saw darkness for a few seconds. I moved my head to not wake up and appeared in a weird city.

      It was night and the color of the sky was dark-reddish. All the buildings were extremely tall but thin (they were no wider that 10-15 square feet) but each building had like 500 stories. It looked like this:








      I landed in a weird looking restricted area and entered a room. I saw a female DC, human alike but had three boobs and was levitating. I though there was always time for a "quickly" in a lucid dream. After all, she was a dream character and would not complain. I made sure I kissed her a few times for the basic task.

      I left this room and took off again. I entered a one of these weird buildings, but I found it empty. The doors opened like the Star Trek ones. Even made the same noise
      (funny... I have not seen a single episode of Star Trek for at least 12 years) I entered a room, but it was empty. The bed was pretty small and there was almost no furniture. I decided to leave and I flew through the window. I made a small hole and crashed, but when I attempted a second time, I could break through.

      I flew over a military restricted area. I suddently avoided a fire beam and landed. There was a weapon about five feet long and three feet wide. It had a lot of different ways to shoot. There was a guy, about three feet tall and he tried to kill me. He told me, "I want to try this out! Stop there!" I told him, "I will help you, but first tell me. Were are you? Where is this planet?" He replied something like, "We are a more advance civilization that you. We are in a parallel dimension of your planet. We are not violent, but we like to have a good defense, now stay still." I was happy I completed the ToTM again and suddenly, I got hit by another red laser beam. I stopped in the ground and opened my arms. My chest was pointing that huge weapon. The weapon shot me fireballs, pink beams of laser, uzi alike amo (but a lot faster), electricity and white blasts. The alien started to get frustrated and I started to laugh out loud. I started to walk towards him and the weapon went berserk, it started to shoot even faster. I could feel the hits from it and heard several different shooting noises (lasers, electricity, uzis, explosions) I said out loud, "YOU CAN'T HARM ME. I AM NOT IN MY PHYSICAL BODY! I AM INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!!!!!!!!" I closed my arms and surrounded myself in a energy bubble. I focused on expanding the bubble and destroy the weapon. It was too powerful. I should a dragon ball alike cry and my energy bubble expanded and grew bigger in seconds. It incinerated the weapon and some buildings around, however, the alien was still alive. He ran towards me and tried to punch me, I avoided him and flew away. I woke up.
    8. Violet Sky 1/15/11

      by , 01-29-2011 at 05:41 PM
      This was my first lucid dream after about 2 weeks of starting. I felt like I had to type it up for people to see.

      I am at a beach with my whole family. It is dark and we are all very tired. Some of my family friends say they are going for a ride and offer me a ride. I decline and then find out that my dad wants to go with them. He says that he wants to catch up on sleep so I decide I will go with them because I want to go to sleep. (Like I couldn't do that on the beach, right?) I realize I don't have my ipod and I run back to the beach to get it. I run and find out that I didn't even bring my ipod in the first place so I turn back and start thinking that my family friends have probably already left without me. As I'm running back, I see a bunch of my friends laughing, singing, and lying on the sand. I go and jump on top of one of them and try to get their attention but they won't listen to me. I forget about them and try to go back to this hotel where my family friends are. They have left me but I am with one of my friends Isaac, who wanted to go with them too. We run through the hotel and slide down barricades and railings to try to catch up to everyone. We figure that there must have been about 20 people going, so they would take the elevator and we should slide down the railings of stairs. We peek in through various doors but to no avail.

      We end up in a bookstore and leave out the front door. I'm starting to get scared and ask Isaac if he has a phone. He says he doesn't. I forgot my phone too. A man nearby with a wife and a stroller with kids feels my anguish and offers me his phone. It is a huge freaking phone. I thank him and attempt to take off the cover of the phone without dropping the whole thing. I try to text my dad, "Where are you?" but the words won't come out right. It ends up saying, "Dad, are you awake?" I get so pissed and look behind me. There are a bunch of people on a bench looking at me and smirking. I think they are causing the words to change, so I throw objects at them. They start throwing things at me. Then I realize, I don't have to be mad at these people. I'm only dreaming. It was so clear to me.

      I then scream, "Stop!" and I try to change the dream scene around. I know that my body is still in bed but I don't say it out loud. I start giving these strangers a motivational speech about how I can change the night sky into brilliant, and miraculous color. I feel so empowered and they are all with me. I look at the sky and scream, "Light!" Nothing seems to happen. I turn around, and all of a sudden, near the horizon, color starts to seep into the sky starting in a very small patch. Colors of bright purple and violet, green, blue, red, and orange start filling the night sky. Everything is illuminated and it is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. I scream, "It's beautiful!" and the immense colors only seem to heighten their vividness. I suddenly have the extreme urge to fly. (Of course). I start bounding towards the light, flap my arms, and take off. I soar above gigantic flowers of purple and white and fly directly into the color. I see a prehistoric mountain looming in the distance and I want to fly to it. I realize that I have never yet learned how to fly and start tumbling down into the huge flowers but I don't care. I feel so enlightened. Then, I wake up.

    9. For the mother Russia!

      by , 01-29-2011 at 05:29 PM (Darkness Beyond Time)
      I remember that I've was going to see my friend. I was passing near the house of my other friend but the place was not same. It was like mixture of various places I know. While passing by I noticed an empty bus there standing. I was thinking that I should take it to my friends house but the driver said that he is departing in one hour so I gave up on that option. As I continued my way I saw some people. They looked like victims of something. Anyway I continued my way and short after I arrived at very odd place. It was like big alley way descending down to the sea level with huge tall buildings on sides. The buildings were giving a sings that there was war here recently. They had no windows and they were crumbling. Suddenly some soldier in Russian outfit arrested me and took me to some hangar. In hangar I was interrogated when out of nowhere some general came with grenade launcher and shot the doors. He killed his own comrade and took me out of hangar and next thing I remember is that he was taking me up some stairs. We were talking something and he seemed very friendly. I think I knew him actually. When we arrived at top of stairs he let me go.

      I was walking with my friend near some familiar place. It was very hot and I could see green trees everywhere. Suddenly my friend stopped at a center of road and I was like o_O. The car hit him. The guy who hit him pulled over and got out to help him but my friend was alright. After that the guy who hit him stayed at the center of road and a car hit him too...I was standing there whole time doing nothing and my eyes were probably like o_O then O_o and O_O. Amusing...

    11. A foggy dream

      by , 01-29-2011 at 05:11 PM
      I had a pretty long dream last night, about 1/4 of it was lucid, though I can't remember it very well.

      I am in a place in which I have been in another dream. There are some people there also. I only have some vague memories of the next parts of the dream. In the dream there were two villages that were in war. The other village was ruled by an evil witch. We go to the good village. I've no memory of the next 7-12 minutes. We decide to attack the bad guys. I've an extremely foggy and strange memory of the next few minutes.
      We are now at the outskirts of the village. There is a very steep, almost vertical hillside in front of us. Above us, on the hill is a big building. There are dead leaves all over the place, a sign of the witch's corruption. The next thing I remember is being on the building's roof. I see the ocean in front of me. I become lucid. The witch is hovering in the air some distance away from me. She is a tall woman with a dark yellow, almost golden hair. I strike her dead with a single thought. The next (and the most important) part is foggy. I do a part of task of the year, but I just can't remember which one. I suspect that it was the Nightmare at Elm street one, because I remember killing someone and I had also decided to do it when I went to sleep. The task could also have been an imaginary one.
      After the toty I jump off the roof head first, and fly back to the roof several times. That's the last thing of the dream I remember.

      Pawn search

      I was in a pawn type shop and was looking for a baby book to send my kid. (This is strange, because I don't have a kid. My ex-girlfriend had a miscarriage) I looked through all of the book sections and I couldn't find any that I thought were suitable for her age. I looked through on section of used books. They were really gross though and sometimes wet and moldy. I then went to the back of the shop. It seemed as though a whole guitar section of the shop had been added on when I wasn't looking. I then found a part of the shop where the items hadn't been sorted yet and were just sitting in piles. Radiohead's "In Rainbows" stuck out to me. I then left the shop and was walking with my parents through the mall. I talked about how I needed shoes. We went into a safari themed clothing store to look for shoes for me.

      How I met your mother

      I was watching a TV commercial where the people from how I met your mother were talking about wearing hats drawn on by pain (the computer paint) to hide that their sets were being worked on. Barney's character then kept talking and I was surprised to hear that he actually had a British accent. My mom said how nice of a guy he seemed to be in real life. The more I looked at him he had only one eye. For some reason I thought that this was normal though. He then started to act strange with the interviewer. At the end of the interview he kissed the interviewers hand.

      Strange game

      I was at my friends house and got on his computer. I started to play a game that was a mix between warcraft 3 and starcraft. It was an RPG. I was a space marine and was in a mid-evil type town in the middle of a desert. I then left and had a really fast horse. I rode across desert plains and started to dodge black spirits. I made it past all of the spirits . I then saw a fort and went through a broken part of the wall. There were huge block like enemies. One noticed me and started running towards me. I then stopped playing and looked through a booklet of the different sex scenes that were in the game. They were all very graphic.

      The military


      I had joined the military and was with my cousin chase. We got our rifle, but I wasn't sure how it worked. Aunt Becky was there and she was helping to show me. She showed me how to turn the safety on but I forgot shortly after. I went back to her and asked again. She showed me how to do it but accidentally broke the tip of my gun off. She apologized and left. I then went out into the cafeteria where they were going to give us a speech. I saw my friend Silas and a bunch of other kids from my school. It surprised them that they had all joined the military. I saw down, but I started to feel bad that I had joined the military. I stood up and started to yell at them that I didn't agree with the war and that I was against it from the very start. It seemed to be a good speech and wasn't met with any negativity. I saw a girl with a sniper rifle at the side of the cafeteria and was surprised that she didn't shoot me. Girls then started to strip down the bikini's on the back stage of the cafeteria. I thought it was strange that they were using girls like this as a reward for us.

    13. Rollar Coaster - A Lame Lucid

      by , 01-29-2011 at 04:56 PM (Lynn's Lucids)
      LUCID- Rollar Coaster
      I was a cute guy in the dream with brown short straight hair. Idk why. I was in a Burger King playground, and for some reason, I didn't change the backround. "I'm dreaming!" I yelled as I ran around it. The kids looked at me weird. I went in a yellow slide in the playground. "I can do anything I want!" I turned it into a rollar coaster and had a fun never-ending ride. It was sooo fun! It felt very, very real. I saw the coaster through the slide, kind of. I imagined it to see where I was going. Then, I recalled one of my dream goals was to be a mermaid. I turned into Ariel, and swam around. Everything was like a sea. I couldn't really breathe, so I stopped and went back to play in the BK playground. I need to establish some dream goals or all of my lucids will be plain and boring!
      Vividness: 4/5 Clear.
      I had another full dream but I already wrote that in my real one.
      I JUST REMEMBERED I tried to get to the moon! I said to myself, "Wasn't there a thread here talking about that you can't get to the moon?" I wondered why it was so hard. Why would it be hard to make the image? I flew up into space, well I tried to. I saw a PICTURE of the moon and couldn't get there. I went back down. Sadly, I just tried other things.
      * I said to myself, "Hmmm, maybe I should do the task of the month (DV's TOTM) But I said, "I am going to do what I want to do, not what other people want me to do. It is my LD and I'm going to have fun!" I did other fun things, but my recall is crap.

    14. The Journal of my Dreams

      by , 01-29-2011 at 04:47 PM
      Lucid=red
      Non-lucid=regular text color

      1-25-11Non-Lucid) I was looking at video games in a store and I was looking at one with sea animals and thought how cool it would be to have a pet dolphin and the scene switched and I was walking up to a beach and I had a dolphin on a leash and there were seals near the sand and I walked up to them with the dolphin and they thought it was a demon and tried running from it and I talked to a demon seal (Why do I have such weird dreams!?) He told me that his tribe thought that dolphins are demons and that I should leave right away. I walked down to the beach and my pet dolphin disappeared and I walked along the beach with a DC and I found a giant spiral sea shell and there was a huge snail in it and I picked it up and the DC said those were rare shells and I could make a lot of money from it, but I put it back in the ocean because I didn’t want to kill the snail (*sigh* why am I too nice in my dreams?) and apparently I was a beach medic or something because a chopper showed up and I ran over and there was a bloodied person and I treated them, after that I woke up. (Today, day after dream I was at the college and someone was talking to another person and said that dolphins are awesome and are the killers of the sea.)

    15. Waking Up INTO a Nightmare

      So I haven't blogged since January 26th, but I've had some "activity" worth mentioning. I was super stoked about my seemingly close NILD (Nap Induced Lucid Dream) variation of a WILD, and although I started this week off swearing I wasn't going to lose sleep and attempt any crazy dream techniques, I was SO looking forward to doing the Wake Back To Bed method of setting my alarm just before my last REM cycle and going back to bed concentrating on lucid dreaming.

      My friend and I have been discussing our dreams with each other via text messages, as he lives a couple hundred miles away, and it's been encouraging to have someone else who's almost as crazy about all this as me, to bounce experiences and ideas off of. We've discovered the Airplane Mode on our phones, because we keep sending each other horrible pictures of creatures and fictional mutated profiles and creepy audio clips to scare each other in the middle of the night.

      I prepped for Wednesday night. I've read to hold off on Vitamin B until I awake around 4:30 a.m., and to go easy on the melatonin just before you first go to bed. So I took about 6mgs of melatonin. However, feeling like I might've been coming down with a cold, I may have taken some Nyquil also (I don't remember). I wrote in my Day Journal (prime the brain pumps) just before bed, and I was set.

      At midnight, I was out like a light. Between the melatonin, sickness and possible Nyquil, it was a DEEP sleep. However, at 1:00 a.m., I opened my eyes, kicking and screaming at the following visage...



      I do not remember waking up. I simply remember a strange, asexual mime trying to get WAY to close to me. As I heard it in my head, it was cooing or softly voicing it's displeasure in my feet in it's chest and throat. "OooOOooEEeeeEEooo???"

      In the FAR back of my mind, I was glad to be tossed into a horror-based nightmare, because they always tip me off to the fact that I'm dreaming. I then become lucid, and take control of the dream. The creature looked almost as scared of me as I was of it, and it didn't seem like it wanted to hurt me -- but I needed to get it AWAY from me so I could take control. Something strange began to happen, instead of shifting or becoming hazier (or waking up), the dream was becoming MORE vivid. MORE real, despite the strobing lights and darkness.

      I could hear my wife calling out my name and screaming, "No! Stop! Stop!", which angered me a bit. Why would you WANT me to STOP attacking this thing, don't YOU see it?! I got REALLY worried. Had I broke Sleep Paralysis and been flailing in our bed? Had my dream research flipped my lid? The creature was now at a legs length away from me, so I screamed to my wife, "WHAT?!"

      "It's Matt." I looked at the thing, and didn't understand. At first, it looked like a clean, zombie version of the character Lutz from 30 ROCK (a show that's been turning my brain to oatmeal, as we've been watching WAY too much of it before bed). But now I could see, it was some strange version of my friend, and he was doubled-over smiling and said, "It's just a dream!" and started chuckling. My wife replied back, "It's just a dream," and I thought, "Now my DREAMS are mocking my attempts at lucidity!", but I soon realized that it was my friend, either in a False Awakening... or in waking life.

      "Do you wanna get beat?"

      He started laughing and my wife said it again, in disbelief, "It's just a dream." I still didn't understand. A charlie horse in my leg started to tip me off and the Rocky shirt my friend was wearing certainly wasn't scary. I could then smell him (ah, the last sense to wake up).

      "Supriiiisssse," he whispered. He then mumbled and ran out of the room, leaving my wife and I in the dark. I groaned at the pain in my leg. Chuckled a bit. Breathed. Turned to my wife and asked, "What just happened?"

      I used the bathroom, texted my friend, "Where are you?!" and he replied, "In my car, I think I peed my pants!" and I finally really realized...

      That had all just really happened.

      Now I present to you, the video he filmed of himself scaring me into a near convulsion.
