I am captured somewhere. Its near London Bridge. It is a complex of various alleys and tunnels. I think I work there in a restaurant. There are people securing the place. I can see some manager chatting with the guard. I run along a wall and I climb over various balconies and jump over roofs. Then I jump down, where is another really nice restaurant with pillars everywhere. I can see sun shining through (source of light in my dream??). I want to buy an ice cream. I can see they do scooped or spined ice cream. But the scooped is portioned by scratching it off. They have blueberry one and a little bit of vanilla one. At least I think its vanilla ice cream, it looks like it but its strangely yellow. There is also chocolate one and I think to myself that they don’t have any ice cream that I would like. Then some customer asks the shop assistant something about different ice creams. The shop assistant says that they do have other ones, and points with his finger on the board with types and prices. There is one that looks like a ice hockey touch. Then I am going back, but its a long way. It goes through Tesco, particularly through the cosmetics section. I walk through and it goes to some big garden. It reminds me of Cambridge and the gardens they have there around the universities. It’s surrounded by high wall with a gate. Through the gate is coming V3S van. It goes slowly towards me, trying to fit through the hate and it almost hits a statue that is there. So I walk further and through the gate. There I see a huge care (I think its Caterpillar) and it’s manoeuvring very strangely around. Its starts turning around until he has one wagon in the front and the other at the back. Then I realise that he wants to pull both of them at once. I come to a place where are to forklifts in which one of them is sleeping worker. I try to sneak through. I am looking for something, I think it’s a box. Then one of the workers takes the box on the forklifts arms and then the whole forklift is lifted up by another excavator. Then I turn around and a kind of teddy bear animal comes to me ( I have seen it before in my dream). So I pick it up and ask the guy in the excavator how he can explain that a teddy bear can come to me like this. I tell him that I don’t believe in ghosts and some mumbo jumbo stuff. But he doesn’t know how to explain that. Then I return to the London bridge place.
**I am at work and we have lasagne for lunch. It’s flying of the counter, selling really well. Then Lione comes and we joke around and flirt. I am surprised because she never buys lunch. So we just chat about dancing and what we are up to during the weekend. Its seems pretty obvious that something is hanging in the air. Then she pays for the lunch and leaves. But she forgets the lasagne there, so she comes back in a few seconds.

'Chuzzy.', said a voice. Being the light sleep I have been getting recently, my eyes snapped open. Who said that? I sleep alone in my bedroom, and wasn't my family supposed to be in Dubai? Then..?
'Chuzzy.'
My eyes dart wildly in search of the owner of that voice. While that word may sound funny, the dry raspy voice that said it most definitely was not. I noticed something. I couldn't move. Sleep paralysis? WHAT THE FU--
BOOM.
The door to my room gets ripped apart. Who's there?
-
-
-
No one.
I get that 'feeling' that someone's in the room. Not necessarily human.
Something dawns upon me.
I MUST BE DRUNK! YEAH! That's gotta be it! (Mind you the total alcohol consumption in my entire life will amount to no more than 5 sips.) Man, one hellova party last night. Haha, he smacked his head good. With that thought, I fall peacefully back to sleep, kicking myself when I woke up.



**Sorry for the quality and content, but, I need sometime to get back into the form I used to be in.

Integer Dance and Unknown School (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The dream started out in a school that was foreign to me. It was a High School, and it was fairly close to my original school in location. Jacob and i were walking through the halls of the school. As we did so we noticed that a lot ofthe poeple in the school, teachers and students, had somehting on their head, whether it be a bandana or a hat or something of that sort. I was suddenly jealous of their rules and was in awe. Then Fran either met with me or called me, but i knew i had to go back to Goldcrown for some reason. I told Jaocb that i didn't want to go back with Fran becasue i was so close to Belmar and my house, that i didn't need a ride. But regardless, he and I went wih Fran and the other two members from my Integer group, Jason an Magaly, down the stairs and into Goldcrown. When we got their i told Jaocb that i didn't mind because i needed to pracice anyway. The thing i needed to practice was a dance that we had all been aparently working on, because as soon as we got there Fran told us to get our CD's out and line up ready for the dance. I got mine out but she had already gotten one from someone else so i set it down on a desk. Then we lined up and i could remember a few things form the dance but basically blanked out everything. So when themusic played i did nothing. Then i politely asked if anyone knew the choreography. There were two replies form people sitting in desks beyond the front of the room. One was Kelly, and the other was a girl of which was way more attractive, but i cannot recall. So i chose the random girl, and Kelly came up too. They couldn't both teach it to me, so i said sorry to them both and Kelly ended up being the one that would teach me. But then the dream ended without warning.

Hours: 11:30m Alarm: None Audio: Stephen LeBerge
(Trance Induction)

For the first time, as i listened to the Trance Induction from Stephen LeBerge, i actually felt the vibrations of my body starting to go into sleep paralysis and i was set up for a successful WILD, but i unfortunately had a very rude interruption.

The first dream starts on the ocean. I was in a boat with Toby and we are trying to navigate around all the giant waves that were getting to be a problem. There was a central navigation mechanism with a few direction buttons. We were arguing about which ones to push as we crashed into more an more waves. Finally i was able to show my knowledge on the subject and pushed the two front buttons opposite ways as the bottom button was pushed ever forward. The gave us the ability to shoot accross the waves faster than ever and with smooth precision. As we got faster and faster we came to a snow bank. We hit it and got off of the ship and noticed we were near a highway. We had to get to the other side for one reason or another, so wehad to cross it. This npart was really frightening because as we passed each lane the cars that didn't hit us got closer and closer to us as we avoided them. As we got to the final lane and crossed it, there was also snow on this side, and it sloped down right into a giant frozen lakeof some sort.From the horizon (Although it is night time right now) we could see cars coming in lines from the frozen lake. We igured we should move so we wouldn't get hit.
We were suddenly with a group of people near a little pond, still night time. All the people we were near had a dog of some sort. Two males that looked somewhat suspicious were standing there. They decided it would be a good idea to teal the dogs that the other people had and they would take them to their apartments. They scooped up the dogs and took off as the awestruck women whos dogs had bene taken are helplessly following them as the got further and further away. I could not take it anymore. I hated seeing these women having something taken away from them, let alone a living dog. So i pulled out my ipod in hopes of having Wifi so i could look up the laws against taking someones dog without permission. As i walked up a hill to keep following them, Colin stopped me and asked me a question about homework, i tried to follow them, look up the law, and help Colin all a the same time. It didn't work that well so i told Colin that i had to go and so he left back to where he was before and i continued on my way. I got to the center of the apartment complex and saw the dog-nappers in their apartments and the women had just simply given up. I was fairly uneffected as the dream faded from my memory. Then it ended.

First dream: Shot in the head, ouch!
I'm riding a horse through these beautiful woods. There was a handsome dandy-looking british soldier who was sitting behind me. I have jet black straight hair that was cut straight a ways below my shoulders. I think i was indian. We get to this cliff like area and we look over through the trees. There's this beautiful waterfall that goes down into a river and crossing this river were soldiers, dressed slightly different. We're scared. I think they see us. We run back to our horse but there's already someone over there on his horse. It's a soldier dressed in dark blue and he's shooting at us. My soldier pulls out his gun and shoots at the man in blue. The man in blue shoots him in the face and my soldier falls down dead. Now i'm shooting at him but i run out of bullets. I don't quite comprehend this though and i continue to try and shoot this man. I'm basically hiding behind my horse and he behind his. I guess he thinks i still have bullets somewhere.
All of a sudden i bend down to pick up a different gun. BLAM the dude shoots me in the top of my head. So i'm not dead. I somehow survive this, i don't know how fucked up i am. I put my hand on top of my head and i feel a flap of skull that is slightly raised. I push it down and keep my hand on top of my head. The blood starts to pour and stuff that i hope is not my brains. I can't see because the blood is all over in my eyes.
I wake up.

Second dream: Pharaoh's son.
I'm in this palace that almost looks egyptian. It is made of marble or something and there are pillars. Apart from the pillars the only thing in this room is a fireplace looking area that has a carved black jackal over it. Someone is attacking the palace and i MUST save the pharaoh's son. I'm young myself, too, we're both about 10 years old, maybe i'm 12. Both the pharaoh's son and I know that there's a secret passage through the fireplace that leads clear out of the palace. We sneak inside the fireplace and start to crawl, it's very tiny and we barely fit. It is SO GROSS. there's dust and bugs everywhere. We are so scared we're going to be caught. We make it out of the palace alive.
Fast forward like 1000 years. There's these anthropologists or something in the palace. Everything looks different. I think i'm a ghost. They can't see me, but they are wondering how the pharaoh's son escaped. I try to tell them through the fireplace, but they can't hear me.
I wake up.

I don't even know where to begin, this has never happen to me before, not like this.... ! It was SO CRAZY .. !

I am in a dream , sleeping .. dreaming .. turns into a nightmare , I am in this group of people going to meet the devil , but in my dream I kept referring to him as Lucifer.
I look into the sky and there are minions flying everywhere spitting out fire balls on the ground...



I look at the center of the field and I see this "Lucifer" being ,,
he's dark purple in color , long black horns ,, has hooves for feet ...



and in an instant everyone around me dies when he snaps his fingers they all burst into fire
and die...



I am standing alone ,, looking around at the floor ...dead bodies everywhere... Lucifer tries to take me... reaching his hand out for me,, but I don't want to go ! I won't go!



So I'm in this dream/nightmare, but I start having conscious thoughts like when you're awake and can talk to yourself inside your mind .. I was able to do this in my dream , becoming "Lucid"
and can hear a small voice inside me saying , "Don't panic, but.. get out of here now!!" I push off the ground and start to fly !



I am then taken to so many beautiful scenaries , but the scene keeps changing ... fast ! I'm in one place, then another, then another ! All so beautiful !! So CAPTIVATING !
I saw this ocean surrounded by beautiful mountains it was breath taking , I could feel myself getting too excited , I started to fly , faster .. faster and faster !



Then ,, I started losing control of the dream a lil bit...

I could feel my heart beat start to race really really fast ,, complete and total adrenaline rush !! I don't know if I just had the sensation of that in the dream or if that was happening in real time, real life...
but however, just to be safe I still I thought to myself "I have to go back I don't want to give myself a heart attack in my sleep?!"



I can feel I'm flying still (in the dream) , then all a sudden I'm in 2 places at once .. this lucid dream ,, then I can feel myself laying on my bed asleep at the same time!



Then those visuals of flying come to an end , everything changes...



My whole room becomes dark , (by the way my eyes are still closed , but I can still see everything with my minds eye I guess they call it )..



So... my bed starts spinning and sinking simultaneously .. !!
All I begin to see is me sinking further and further into my bed, like free falling down...down...down... it seemed to never stop,, I don't know if I was excited or scared, I think a little of both !



Either-way I was getting nervous cause it felt like I was about to black out and I was afraid of where this next dream would take me ,, so I finally snap out of it and I make myself
wake up in the physical world....



I still have that vision in my head, the visuals were just WOW intense & mind-blowing ,, it was all so detailed, so vivid, sinking in the bed, so graphic , it's like my bed was melting into the ground ,
I was still me I was able to have my conscious thoughts it was I guess a type of sleep paralysis , asleep , but awake at same time...

I hadn't had a crazy dream experience in about a month and a half, I thought maybe all of it stopped , but I guess not.. this experience though , which was a lil terrifying ,
was still kinda cool .. I think ..

I was at school in the strings room. We were packing up our instruments to go to something. My instrument needed a truck, so we packed it up and loaded it into the truck. I was then wandering around the room, bored. I think VE and some others were there. I decided I wanted to try a viola or violin since the teacher wasn't there. I randomly picked out a violin and started to tune it. I started on the E string, but then RE was there and she turned on the tuner, and I went back to the A, which was extremely flat. As I was adjusting the pegs Mrs. B. walked in and told me that I shouldn't be touching the violins since I didn't know how to handle one. I muttered a "sorry" and put it away.

Then I was in the middle of nowhere, some random residential street, with the truck with our instruments. It was nighttime it seemed; everything had a dark blue tint to it. I watched them unload the instruments. I was wondering why they were doing it here, in the middle of a random street.

Then I was at McDonalds. I really wanted a cheeseburger for some reason. I ordered just that, and contemplated ordering fries, but decided against it. Then I turned around, and found a shitload of food on the counter. There was a giant bowl of fries, a few cheeseburgers, a drink, and some other random things. I wasn't sure who they were for, but I started eating it anyways. I didn't understand how I had gotten so much food for so little money.

Then I was in the car with my mother, GU, and VI. VI was sitting in the very back for some reason. Apparently GU wanted to surprise her with something, or so he told me mother, who was also in front of me. My mom asked how that would work since she was sitting right behind them. We drove down some random street, and then it ended.

I know for sure that I was lucid at some point; I remember thinking that I knew it was a dream, but I can't remember where or when.

In the first dream, I believe I went back in time. Or someone else went forward in time. I'm not sure how it happened, but I was in the same time as Arthur from the BBC show Merlin. We were in my room and I was showing him a flag with his Pendragon crest on it. He gave me two big coins with the same image on it which I stored away for safe keeping.

He soon started choking on something. I panicked and started doing the 'Heimlich Manuever' but I was never trained and couldn't do it. I tried really hard but I couldn't get the thing out of his throat. He ended up falling on the floor and I was panicked and terrified since he died right before my eyes since I couldn't do the Heimlich Manuever. However, he woke up anway and looked at me in a way I verbally expressed as his "Arthur Look".


In the second dream, my mom wanted to do surgery on me by cutting my head open with a knife. I was freaked out and kept begging her not to, I was crying.

Also, I had random school scenes in my dream. It took place in my school and I seemed to have forgotten my timetable for my classes were in the wrong order and somehow they were at night.

I am in a chair in in dark room that looks like a common room or something. I am sitting there under
covers, going to sleep I guess, but my eyes are open. I see some guy I don't know walk by and go out
the door. I look over at the TV ( CRT ) which has suddenly turned on and it is as if it is angled away from
me. The screen is the glitchy purple color an lcd gets when viewed from an angle. The tv is slowly turning
toward me and finally the color resolves. I think it is "That 70's Show". I wake up. It is dark and in my dorm
at college. I should have realized that I have been sleeping in for a while now and it should be light but I
didn't. I wake up, without moving, I think about the dream and decide not to write it down. Instead, I
decide to try WILDing. I remain still and the sleep paralysis comes instantly. I feel immense pressure practically
contorting my body. I feel like one of those mutating creatures from horror movies. My foot is on the edge
of the bed and slips off, the "transition" dies down a bit but when my foot stops it continues again. I think,
"It was not this intense the first time." then it stops. I think, maybe I've entered a dream? No, no I haven't.
I get angry with myself and wake up for real. I decide, a false awakening would be a good thing to
put in my dream journal

My dad gives me a 12 dollar bill and my brother an 11. For some reason, he decides that I should not have
anything so he says I have to give it back but he forgets about it so I keep it. I am in my room looking at this
lucid dreaming article or something. I also have DreamViews up on my computer. All of a sudden Stephen Laberge
shows up in my room and I'm like wow It's Stephen Laberge. But he turns out to be this fraudulent idiot. I remember
actually looking at his computer and he had his website up and DreamViews in another tab. He didn't look like any
of the pictures I have seen of him, he looked more like a bum off the street. Anyway, my family and I goes on this trip.
We arrive at a dark hotel and Laberge had apparently followed us there. My dad is looking through his wallet when he
says "Where's that 12 dollars?" I said, "I have it right here.", "Why didn't you give it to me? That's stealing!" I argued
the point saying that he never asked for it and I forgot as well and I am giving it to him now. The dream ends

I am standing in a poorly-lit parking lot of a strip mall, chugging a thick, bitter bottled drink of some kind. I throw the empty bottle on the ground and reach into the bag to grab another. Just as I open the second bottle, a young female DC who is walking by picks up the empty bottle and hands it back to me, saying, “Don't litter here. It's not cool, dude.” She walks away, cussing me under her breath. I look at the bottle closely and notice that the drink is called ESCAPE and right under the title it says The Ultimate Lucid Induction Drink. I throw the empty bottle on the ground again continue to chug the second bottle.

When I woke up, I was a bit mad at myself for not noticing that one. Wouldn't it be nice if there was such a drink?

#1 Busted!
I am sitting on the top of a bunk bed with a younger DC, watching cartoons on TV. We are taking hits from a pipe and blowing the smoke out the window. Suddenly, the door opens and our parents walk in. I quickly hide the pipe and lighter under the pillow, but it's too late. We're busted!

#2 A long hallway.
I am walking toward a door at the end of a long hallway with no doors or windows on the sides. I can hear several people talking and laughing at the end of the hall. I arrive at the door, open it and walk in the room. There are several older people sitting around cracking corny jokes to each other. I am very disinterested, so I turn around and leave the room through the same door. There is no hallway this time, just another room with tables full of random junk. I walk over to one of the tables and see several rack-mount audio effects processors, some of which are partially disassembled.

i managed a dild from an ultra realistic dream for a change. was back at school and in a class about peoples physical issues like manboobs etc... i realised that the class was bollocks, which first led to a minor strop from me and almost walked out, then i realised that it was a dream. i explained this to the rest of the class who all dismissed it until i proved it by floating. i said to them that they were all free to sit there and waste the dream sitting in school, but i wasnt going to waste it but was going to go outside for a fly, and anyone who wanted to join me was very welcome. one of the lads seemed scared so i just said well dont you ever fly in dreams, and he said yes but not when he knew it was a dream. eventually one of the girls said can she come along. i took her out of the window without having stabilised the dream. as we got outside it started to fade and i pretty much woke up.

fortunately i remembered how to get back to it easily and was back in exactly the same situation. now however more of the class had joined us and all wanted to learn how to fly. this meant that the pressure was really on, but fortunately i could still do it. we all joined hands and i floated a little to show them how it was done. some responded well but others didnt manage it so i took them seperately and encouraged them to just jump up and down on the spot and concentrate on a feeling of floating, and just that if they know they can do it, then they will. i showed them how to just tuck there legs up and they started to get it.

back in the classroom i needed something to confirm the dream so i looked at the teacher and her eyes turned into cartoon type eyes. ive never had anything cartoon like in a normal dream so this was a nice surprise. she introduced herself as willow w something and i shook her hand which cemented the dream and my lucidity. i remember looking at everyone and noticing that i could see a pale white aura around everyone, with a white patch above some peoples heads. also there was an authoratative type guy there who was very interested in what was going on. he introduced himself as eric pickles. i knew the name but could not place it. i found out today that eric is a uk mp, and i was reading some posts by a guy named pickle yesterday so that is probably where that came from.

meanwhile the girl who had wanted to fly was fading out of the picture but straining to stay in the dream. i put my hands on her back and tried to bring her back. i encouraged her to rub her face and her body and this seemed to make her look solid again and fully back into the dream. some of the girls were worried for her, but i assured them it was ok. whe she was back, she went outside and started flying around like crazy which was awesome to see. i joined her and flew about nature for a bit, feeding birds and stuff.

i think thats all the key points but the order is probably a bit out as i had a gap between dreaming and write up. must remember to stabilise before changing environments.. the only thing that makes me wonder if it actually could have been a partially shared dream is that when teaching people, it made it so much harder to stay in the dream, and really felt like i was lending them energy. still experimenting and awaiting any kind of confirmation that dreams have any relevance to reality though... i left an image on the whiteboard and told them to use it if any of them remembered anything

Meh. Rubbish recall last night. It was a pretty fun dream too, I just can't remember most of it. I have the feeling something went on at my school, but it's just a feeling.

Awake Non-lucid

I'm in my local Poundland. Most of my friends are here. But only the guys, my girl friends aren't here. They seem to be in a line, waiting for something. The aisles are very close together.

I see my good friends Sam, Phil and Chris. I smile, and push past people to get to them. They all grin, and move around to let me in the middle of them. We all laugh as Sam sticks his foot out to trip me up, but I jump over it, landing between the boys.

The aisles seem to get even narrower, and I end up with my back against a wall, Phil pressed up against me. "Well, this isn't awkward at all." We both laugh shakely, and I shoot evils at Chris, who is winking and smirking at us.

Finally, the line moves forward, and we get some space. I ignore the guys and look at a tv on a shelf. A tv in Poundland? I only ever come to Poundland to buy chocolate and other sugary stuff. I read the cheap, bright, star shaped label that's stuck to the box. "£67" It says. What? This is frickin' Poundland! Everything's supposed to be a pound! Another label below it says "£10". I scoff and move on.

There's just something on the edge of my mind that I feel I'm about to remember but it's just not happening... Aw well, at least I recalled something.

Tribal Imposter

I am watching a movie about an anthropologist who is living with a native tribe. Jake comments on the scene where, after eating the native spicy food, the anthropologist has to take a huge shit. He washes his hands in a regular bathroom and there is a girl who also comes out of a stall and washes her hands. They join the tribe in the circle around a fire.

Suddenly, I am part of the tribe. Whether I am "part" of it or not, I'm not sure because while they are all black, I am still white and also have no relationship with them. We get a message from a lady somehow informing us that there is a huge storm coming and we must all walk to the safe weather house. We're all kind of disappointed as if we've been there before and really don't want to go. It doesn't take us long to walk there and its only just beginning to rain. Its dark out but I can make out the details of the area. There are a ton of trees, we are in a forest, but the path to the house has been cleared. It's muddy but none of us mind.

The house itself doesn't look like it should for a weather safety house. Its a usual wood building with chipped paint, it looks pretty old and out of the norm in the woods. I wonder to myself why the tribe would let modern man come into the forest so easily, but I don't apply the fact that this building is old and therefore the expansion must have happened quite a long time ago. To enter the house, we don't go through the main door. We all step through a fake painting on the outside of the house. It looks like a black and white framed painting, but its actually silk flaps that we can walk into.

Inside, against one wall there are little cubby holes for each of us. Some are built for two people, and the couples go into them, as if all was pre-set for us (or as if we've been here before, recently). I run to the last one, half knowing its where I belong and half thinking if I don't get a cubby to stay in, I won't have one. We all get settled in. Mine is relatively empty, as is all the others, though some have blankets and pictures on the walls. Everyone starts talking to eachother in their usual dramas and friendships.

The lady who called us in here is really nice. She might be an anthropologist herself, perhaps thats why she is taking care of us tonight and runs this building. She calls attention to us and on a huge chalkboard on the opposite wall she has written the alphabet. Everyone is bored with it but we are handed little chalkboards and try to write it down. She explains the letters and then in a strange yet understanding way she explains the song behind the "alphabet song", the accents on each letter when you sing and how they relate to other sounds you can make, and how "big" or "little" the sound is. A few of the tribe people understand this completely and laugh at her elementary way of explaining things. My conscious dream mind daydreams of the thought of musically inclined people.

I come back to the dream and start drawing the letters but remember that I am an educated person and don't want to be "found out", so I draw them with my left hand. The lady comes over to me and she has a little see through plastic page with black lettering. Its an astrology chart. I ask about the Chinese horoscope and she says this one is the Zodiac. I talk to her about it and she asks if I'm a leo. I say yes, and she says she is too, that she was born on August first. We begin talking about the tribe. I leave behind me the notion of "fitting in" with them, and talk about how its like having your own soap opera always with you because of the intricate dramas always happening. While we talk, the tribe people are all just talking, fighting, laughing, etc.

I wake up and it looks like lightening is illuminating my room. Not just light-wise, but everything in my room is highlighted by lightening streaks and the windows are completely white. I do a reality check, I seem to be awake, and wonder if this is just more of the winter thunder storms that has happened. I go back to sleep.

Everyone has left the building or something, and I am outside in the darkness gliding/running very very fast across muddy hills. I see a modern house and hear a voice that tells me "they are inside" and so I glide to it. On the porch, I'm welcomed in by a black lady who has a motherly aura. We go into the kitchen and she's making dinner. I lean on the counter and we discuss how one of the tribes people, a 20 something woman, is living here and is trying to fit into modern society. She has wrecked her life somehow, getting into drugs and prostitution and lacking any education. Her memory comes to mind. On her chest, she has one of those microdermal implants. It's a circle with a piercing in the middle, and a sun tattooed around it. Her whole face has piercings and dot tattoos. I wonder how she fits in with the people of this area and age. The motherly woman asks if she can move in with me because she needs a place. I tell her she is my sister, even if we are very different and of course I will take her in.

Book Thief

I am with Autumn and her parents and another man and we go to a gift store (which is where Goodwill is in waking life). Inside I begin to look at the books and everyone scurries off into their own directions. On a rack I find a book by the same author as a Series of Unfortunate Events (I can tell not by the name but by the artwork/similar appearance). The title amazes me: How To Be A Lucid Dreamer! I have a dream memory of wanting this book very badly, ritually looking up reviews and prices online.
I don't have any money with me though, so I carry it around and intend to steal it. My mom comes to look at the books and I tell her I brought this book into my life and we both celebrate a little before I walk away. I start looking at little zebra sculptures that are for sale on one wall and daydream of a dream memory: I am asking Autumn to put a zebra sculpture in her bag for me to take it because I am too nervous. I feel bad about it and the guilt hits my "present" dream self, so I stop daydreaming. I walk over to a mini train that is running on a track circling a platform. I sit on the platform and go through the pages of my book. An electronic tag falls out, the kind that make sensors go off if you take it without paying, so I carry it around separately. I don't throw it away immediately because I know the techie who is in charge of that kind of thing in this store is somewhere near by.

I go back to the main part of the store and there is a giant dunk tank and folding chairs placed to watch it. Everyone in the store save a few shoppers are sitting down watching, so I do too. They say they are dunking all the people who steal from the store. I wonder how many people there are, but realize its one man who is representing all of the thieves. He has a disgusting mutilated Halloween face mask on and a belly shirt. His stomach is huge and over stretched. They dunk him, and the water makes his stomach rise and fall in slow motion. Everyone is laughing at how fat he is, but this is part of the act and he doesn't take offense. I really don't want to watch this idiotic scene anymore, so Autumns family leaves, though Autumn isn't with us.

Before we leave, I am simultaneously in the back seat of the car and inside the store. I ask the man driving if I can have four dollars so I can buy the book. The Dalai Lama is in the passenger seat and turns around and tells me "you're really getting into something". My heart jumps at recognition from such a high being. I don't pay for the book, we just leave, and that seems to be part of the driver's joke he quietly has with me. I give him back the money. He gives me back the same amount of bills, but its 3 one dollar bills and 1 one hundred dollar bill. I laugh and give it back to him: I don't need it.

I am in the back seat of Jacks car. Jack is driving and Andrew is in the passenger seat. We are going around the highway looking at dead animals. We see an orange cat in the middle of the road and a fox on the shoulder. I get a text from Heather and she asks me to come over, I say sure and tell Jack to drop me off. I get worried about her seeing Jacks car. My POV switches to upstairs in Heathers house (usually she lives in a one story house) and looking out the window, seeing the car. I tell Jack to drop me off at the beginning of the driveway, but its really snowy so I know that wont work. I dont know what to do.
