All DJ Entries

So I had my first lucid in months!! And the first lucid in Sensei's competition. It was so much fun! Yay!

I woke up at 7.30 this morning and I wrote down 3 dream fragments. I probably could have dug deeper and remembered at least on of them fully, but I'm stuggling with the motivation to write the dj. and so they stayed only fragments. I then lay awake for a bit thinking I would do a WBTB, I was awake for maybe 20 minutes? Then I got comfy again and tried to go to sleep. I repeated a mantra to myself for a minute or two about how I would fall asleep and realize I was in a dream. After a while of twisting and turning, not being able to fall asleep I did a nose plug, and I could breathe! Only through one of my nostrils, but I could breathe!! But how could it be? I was still in my bed trying to fall asleep! But wait, was I? I looked around and realized I wasn't in my bed after all. I was on a mattress on the floor somewhere else. I got up and went to the bathroom, doing another nose plug (I couldn't believe I was lucid) still could breathe, but only through one nostril. I kept my nose plugged for a while, wondering how I could do that and not "choke" in real life, I then realized it's only my dream body that's got its nose plugged... Even though I was lucid my awareness was low at this stage. I suddenly realized I was standing in a bathroom scrubbing the toilet and I thought "I'm not using my LD to scrub down a filthy toilet!!" So I stood up and tried to remember my goals. I remember the competition and some of the tasks. Should I try flying? I have had a plan that if I did become lucid I would summon a 'musical muffin', eat it and try to sing! So I placed my hands behind by back and thought "when I bring my hands in front of me again there will be a musical muffin in my hands. And there was! It was a bit unclear/hazy, but had a creamy cheese topping with a 'musical note' as a decoration. I hurried to take a bite, and as I did I wondered how it didn't taste anything. After eating a bite of it I tried to sing - very quietly, because I was afraid someone might hear me. And I was disappointed, my voice was even poorer than in real life. LOL! Here the dream gets a little blurry, I can't remember quite what happened, but I think I had a FA where the nose plug RC failed.

I also remember dreaming about writing in my dj about both the lucid dream and some other dreams - it's so frustrating waking up and realizing you have to do it all over again, haha. All in all I remember 4 fragments, 2 dreams and 1 LD! A very, very good night! I'm so happy!

A question though: Did I just have my first WILD, or was this just a regular DILD? Did kind of feel like a DILD, but then I really thought I was still awake so it might have been a WILD... I've heard so much talk about the weird sensations one gets when wilding, and I didn't feel any of that...

First journal, I was able to recall 3 dreams, all after I woke up at my scheduled WBTB time. Recall isn't great, but better than I usually have:

1. I was speaking with one of my friends, who I believe took the form of one of my students (I was a sculpting teacher for a time) he's an older guy, and he was criticizing my lifestyle and how he felt I spent too much of my time slacking off. I then blew him off and we had a bit of a falling out. He seemed to become quite a bit younger at that point and went of with a few other people, there seemed to be a dispute and the othe people he was with starting beating him up. I went to his aid and pulled the other guys off him. It was then later in the night and one of my roommates was there, she was having dinner with a man named Mario but then had to go off to a party, my brother was there and ot a call that the party didn't go well and then it ended.

2. I was in a school of sorts, not quite a high school or a college, the students seemed to be about high school age but it was far larger than my high school. There was also the idea that we were living there full time in a sort of dormitory situation, but there was a large sink in the corner of the main classroom we were supposed to use for bathing, not sure how that was supposed to work. I remember there being a number of clubs including a 3D animation club and I had a rather large tear in my pants I seemed to do a decent job of covering up.

3. I was in some sort of bar or cantina in the middle east somewhere. The dream seemed to center around me trying to get a drink that I enjoyed, but I couldn't find anything at the soda fountain I wanted. I seemed to be getting inexplicably drunk and I tried to stumble to what I assume was my home. A man noticed me in my state and offered to take me back to his place to make me some pancakes. I woke up before I got to enjoy the pancakes.

So I go to sleep all nice and relaxed using some techniques from ETWOLD, I confirm to myself I will wake up after my dreams which I do. I wake up around 06:20 but before I realize I'm awake I already move a bit, I relax and try the 'counting to sleep' which goes good but distracting thoughts make me unable to pass 40. I eventually fall asleep and wake up to my normal alarm 09:00 and decide to give it another chance as I'm more tired now. Guess what? The alarm of the dryer goes of and once again I'm the only person upstairs, I didn't even bother cleaning out the filters, just shut it off all together. Off cours I was too awake for anything right now and the best thing of all. I forgot atleast 3 dreams I had because of this, atleast we're making progress on the relaxing techniques and auto-suggestion. It's morning as I'm typing this which I don't do very often but I will probably read a lot of ETWOLD today.

Plan for next night:

-Auto-suggest waking up after dreams

-Using the 'counting to sleep' technique

-Archieve lucidity


Plan for when I'm lucid:

Pay extreme attention to environment and any change in feeling that might be different from reality to have more LDs in the future.

00:00 Thursday 2014-08-07

1mg melatonin to counteract family bedtime drama (yet again)
this night and last night 1 cup body builder protein powder mix with milk

00:49 bedtime

wakings during the night, build running list of dreams recalled, worked on this list probably at least 3 times during the night

09:11 final waking

+ I'm in a non-descript hallway like a school hallway, I see at the end of the hallway (through a door?) a bloody bear is coming after me I keep trying to dodge it running in a small circle in and out of two close doors between the hallway and a room, trying to keep the wall between the bear and me, it gets its paws on me eventually

+ solving a complex math problem with dad, the bosses gave him approval to try to solve it in 5 minutes, I think that's bogus (it's our problem and I've solved it the bosses have no right to try to take ownership of it, the 5 minute limit is just a token "gift" to us, they intend to steal it), I've already solved it in a nice closed form the fractions are kind of messy though, I also have graphed it, my dad is doubtful of my solution, I have many pages of the solution worked out

+ driving at night through a suburban area, take two right turns into a complex, turn into a driveway, enter house, high school friends there, eating huge grilled chicken/garlic, some older guys there creating a marketing presentation on "edible plastic" featuring the west coast, wording drawn on what looks to be a large rectangular cake.

+ solving a computer design problem: apple can only add 32 in a loop, that's why it's so slow, I realize a single multiply of 32 is all that's required, it's a huge improvement, then I realize that a single shift is all that's required, the company builds a large shiny new prototype based on my new design

+ outside nighttime lots of people college housemates there's a battle coming I'm reassuring a girl that it will be OK, call out to opponents to start, I do a series of high jumps descending down on to my friend NI who holds the key to starting, landing clumsily commenting about "let's begin before I break my neck", people are upset that William Shattner is heavily modified, final scene prepared between the demon and Captain Kirk

+ rubbing my hands up and down a girl's back from her shoulders down to her waist, holding her tightly, her back is to me, it's some sort of exercise not a romantic encounter, she says she likes it

This dream that I've been having lately has reoccurred several times. Each time I have this dream it's a little bit different from the previous time, but it's all basically the same details. I'm being chased by a man, specifically the man who lives beside me in reality. He is a rapist pedophile, as he is in reality, and he is pursuing me, his intentions to rape me of course. He is chasing me through my bedroom and through my house as I panic and run, begging my mother to do something while she deliberately ignores me. I try in every dream to call 911 but my phone will change numbers, such as 1 becoming a 4 due to technical complications. So I've lost all hope and I am desperately afraid of the man as he corners me. At the last minute before he can rape me, the man I'm in love with in reality runs in and attacks the rapist, pushing him to the floor. It's quite violent and bloody but the man I love in reality usually destroys the rapist in ways such as the one he used last night, ripping the rapists' flesh out of his neck in chunks with his teeth and ripping the skin off the arms. The man I love usually ends up covered in blood, blood in his teeth, blood in his hair, blood on his hands, blood on his shirt and he is soothing me in the corner I've hidden myself in. He holds me in his blood soaked arms and kisses me on the head to calm me down, telling me the danger is gone while my blue carpet absorbs the blood of the dead rapist. That's how most of my dreams go; either me saving the man I love or the man I love saving me, each dream gory and bloody beyond thinkable amounts.

08-05-14 DILD. Completed Bonus TOTM. I was already in a DILD climbing up a building when I again thought of TOTM. I looked down on a street and thought about what the bonus task might be. It seemed to me that it had something to do with cartoons. Maybe create a cartoon DC? No, but that seems close. It must be something were I need to change an item from realistic into a cartoon version while observing the changes? Yes, it is something close to that. I will start there and see if more comes to mind. I watched as a white van came slowly up the street. How to make it transform into a cartoon version of itself?

I focus on the shading caused by light and shadow and erase all of that. Now it has a even white color with no shading. I try to imagine this is causing a 2D effect. It works and the van becomes fake looking. It is still driving down the road, but the effect is a bit like a cartoon van driving down a real road.

I am now down on the street level. I use thought to shrink only the front end of the van. It looks very funny, like a circus mirror effect. I sit indian style about 2 feet off the ground (floating). I start following the van up the street and it turns onto a faster busy road.

I realize now that the task is not so much change things into cartoons, as just shange things in interesting effects. I do this on perhaps 4 more cars. I try new colors, change the brightness, and metalic glints in the paint, enhance the crome strips. I had great fun with a copper colored sports car. I took a plain ordinary car and changed it to copper, then added a galvinezed effect to the paint. Then caused crome to appear every where. Next I stretched out just the lower half of it. It looked like some weird preditor car.

I woke up naturally soon after that.

08-05-14 This is just a short DILD. The task was to have a DC tell you a word in another language and what it means. My mother siad "BIORK" as in she wants to go to the Biork. I asked her what Biork was and she showed me a big card with the word spelled out on it. I was suprised that it was easy to read and stable.
I asked her to be more clear, and a image of her going to a place flashed. Ok, so Biork is a place, but what kind of place?

A place to get food.

A market?

No, it is behind the market. You sit down and eat prepared food.

So Biork means restraunt?

No, specifically it is behind the market.

Wait, is Biork the name of a restraunt you like? That would be a proper noun. I do not think that counts.

It is not the name of a restraunt. An image flashes, this time of my mom going into a grocery market and up to a counter in the market to get food.

Oh! So Biork = a place in the back of a food market where you can sit and eat prepared food. Much like a deli counter you can eat at.

8/6/14

Last night bed 10pm - 3:30 am (work)

DR:

I'm in a room, and there is a woman on the far side, at the wall. Not sure what happens to her, but suddenly there is another woman, dressed in colorful clothes. She somehow jumps on the wall, while she is standing with her back facing the wall. )Like those guys in games dressed in velcro suits jumping on a vertical wall and getting stickied there.)

She is held to the wall by her back, while her arms and legs are moving. Now she is on fire, but only her edges. This is turning into a nightmare and a feel some dark force.

I hurl a large knife at her, to stop the evil. But my knife falls to the ground short of her.


DR:

I'm walking down a boardwalk at some recreation area. A guy tries to pour some water on me from his water bottle. I dodge it, then I see him as he walks few steps away from me. He looks drunk or high. His balding hair is all wet, so is his white wife-beater tanktop. Two people tackle him to the ground. I run there and put my knee up on the boardwalk to kneel on his chest. We are holding him down till police comes. Suddenly he is listless as he is laying face down and he starts to vomit. I look at my hand and his vomit is on it. I shake it off.

Dream 1

I'm at work in the kitchen relaxing because the restaurant isn't very busy and an order comes in for 4 pizzas. I'm on that section and I think ahhhh I cba. The order was 2 Chicken and Pesto pizzas and two Prima Goats Cheese pizzas. I walk out and the table pretty closest to me was 4 girls. They must of been the ones who ordered. I thought, its quiet, they're pretty hot, I'll make epic pizzas. So carefully rolled them out etc. Cooked them, I got three out and put them under the pass and the 4th one I dropped on the floor. Ffs. This meant I had to make another which was effort. Quickly I rushed that one and made it. I put it under the pass and the boss said angrily to me. 'Theres no feta cheese on it', he made me put that one and heat it up in the oven again. Under pressure I went to get it out and I almost dropped it again. It was dangling on the side and I shouted him to help me. We got it on the plate luckily but alot of the sauce dripped on his shirt. He didn't notice so I didn't mention it. He was already mad enough. I was ready for my break then another order of 4 pizzas came in. I was glad to wake up.

Dream 2

Some bomb had gone off over the city, everything became like the start of an apocalypse. I chose my squad, which was basically my family and a few others and we had to survive. Me and another team member were ill and we had to find supplies quickly. We drove and the sky looked fiery, it looked like the end of the world. We seen a place which we knew would have medicine. We had to hook up to this machine in the building which connected into a power supply with 4 wires and you inject 1 into your arm. There was 3, 1 was working fine. I got the girl strapped up to this first. My one wasn't working. The third one had no wires. So I took the wires from my one and plugged them into the 3rd one then injected my arm. Knowing I would survive I took them out. I got my radio and I warned nobody to come to the city of Coventry it was very dangerous. Then I found the guy who owned the place was a pedophile and we were angry and had to leave.

Dream
8.00am

Im on an island which looks like Thailand. Im at the shops and I see Daryl and some other guy (OG). Og has a shopping trolley with fruit and veggies with him. Og takes his stuff over to what looks like a fridge. I ask him why he's doing that and he says that when he bought them the lady dipped them in boiling water to give them a clean. A Thai lady figures out that he didn't pay for them and alerts someone to question him. Og doesn't want a bar of it and makes a run for it. Im following Og as he's trying to get away from who ever is chasing him. I ask Og on how they figured out he stole the produce. He says that he ask the Thai lady a question which either should have already been done or needed to be done to his produce. The man chasing gets his man and takes Og away somewhere.

It's only myself and Daryl and we're outside walking. We both decide we need a piss and try and find a good spot. The area looks to have a bit of an Australian outback look and feel to it. With the sandy ground and bushes. We find a spot to piss near what looks like a animal hole. I ask Daryl what it is. I have a closer look and see that if looks like some kind of art work from a tribe which has a face and a small hole at the bottom where the mouth is. Once Daryl finishes I take his spot and have a piss. I start to sink in the sand as I pee and put my hand down on the ground. I end up putting my hand in what looks like either Daryl's pee or my pee. I turn around and see Daryl walking away in the distance. As I finish I catch up to Daryl.

We reach a house but unsure on what we're doing.

Dream Fragments:

1. I'm watching someone audition for X Factor.

2. Looking at protein powders. Pea protein is $100 a kilo.

3. Afl super coach. Jed adcock scores under 40p for me. Where as my opponent gets 100p with a North Melbourne player.

Side Notes:

Tried no sleeping mask tonight with little success. I feel as if the pressure of the eye mask on my face keeps myself aware as I awaken, whereas without it I'm pretty groggy and confused. Didn't hear my alarms. Recall sucked.

After my WBTB it took me a little while to get back to sleep.

1. First dream I remember at all I was walking in a neighborhood that I lived in when I was growing up. I missed the street I lived on but realized I was dreaming and woke up pretty much at the same time.

2. I was with my wife, dad and step-mother. My wife was talking to them about my lucid dreaming (she still thinks its weird). She was saying how it was a little strange and we were all standing around this box. The box had a little lizard head poking out of it. My wife is deathly afraid of lizards and could hardly bare to watch. As I was concentrating on the box the lizard head got bigger and bigger. After a little bit the lizard came out of the box but was some kind of large, lizard/caterpillar/mouse hybrid. It had the head of a lizard and at least 6 to 8 legs and walked like a mammal and a kind of mouse tail. It ran up my arm and I experienced dream pain. It didn't hurt just felt like pressure I guess is the best way to describe it. It wrapped itself around my lower arm and my skin kind of absorbed it and it vanished. This made me do a RC and I did a very thorough one since I wanted to be SURE I was dreaming. I sure enough counted 6 or 7 fingers on one hand. LUCID: I though of the foreign language task but then decided to do eyeball task. I turned toward my dad and put my fingers around my right eye ball. He immediately began to back away disturbed at the sight. I really focused on this and in my right eye I could see like white light shooting around blackness, kind of like when you push on your eye a bit in waking life. I was trying to get my fingers in deep enough to reach the back of my eye ball to pull it out. I didn't seem to be getting deep enough to get leverage to pull it out and began to get frustrated. The frustration caused me to wake up.

3. This one was very long and vivid. I was with my daughter and I took her to work. I was going to be gone for several months and I talked to my wife who asked when she would be coming home, I told her I wasn't sure. I didn't even know how I was going to get her home really. I was supposed to make sure some training was going on but I had to find where the classroom was. I was a long way from the class room and took a few wrong turns to get there. I found an elevator and went up in it (of course I never got in one last month at all), when I got to the top I realized I went one or two floors higher than I was supposed to so I took the stairs down. I think my daughter was still with me at this point but not a large factor in the story at this point. I went down flight of stairs and tried to go into a door. Someone was working on the other side of the door and I couldn't go through. I said this was find and went down another set of stairs. I ended up giving up on this and wound up back in my room with my daughter (still at work). I put her down for a nap and went to get some food from the cafeteria. I ran into another guy I used to work with and he had his family with him. It had seemed like I was gone for a long time and I remembered that if my daughter woke up and I wasn't there she would be very upset. I got back to the room quickly and I could hear her crying. I got her from the room and took her out to the living room area where there were a bunch of toys. Somehow the room I was in transitioned to the cab of a truck that I was driving down the road. I was more riding in the truck and not driving, there were a bunch of pillows and toys spread all over (like a living room almost). I saw a policeman coming down the road and I was worried that he would see that her seat-belt wasn't on. I had her sit and we pretended to be buckled in. The cop car passed us and I realized in front of us that there was a sideways car that we were approaching quickly, I sat in the drivers seat and pulled into the dirt median next to us to avoid the sideways car. As I began passing the sideways car I realized it was still moving down the road and I wasn't passing it but staying even. The dirt was hard to drive on and I began to lose control, the sideways car straightened up and I pulled back over to the road. I did a RC and became LUCID: I looked out the car window and thought of jumping out and the traffic and my daughter, I convinced myself again this was a dream and hopped out of the window while the truck was cruising down the road. I landed right on my feet and was facing oncoming traffic. There was a truck coming right at me and as it approached I barely kicked the bumper and it flew backwards onto the car behind it. I was pretty proud I was able to do this with ease. I then thought of the word in another language task and looked for someone. Behind me a bus was pulled over and a girl was coming out of it. She had long dark hair and I ran up to her and asked her to tell me a foreign word, I wasn't sure if this sentence came out clearly (I thought I might have slurred it), but she understood me. I cant remember the exact word but it started with F and had some Rs in it, something like Farrer or Fourier, it sounded very foreign when she said it. As soon as she said it she was walking away and I followed. I repeated the word and she said 'yes', I then ask her what it meant (still following) and lost the dream.

So close!!

08-05-14 This DILD was very long and the first stuff has become lost. I stopped part way through to check my recall, and thought I would be able to keep it, but now it is very fuzzy.
Where it comes into clear focus is a part in a old manor house and me being very sexual. I was lucid and having very wild sex with my wife, when she finally told me that she was tired and no longer into it. Rather than argue, I stood up and created a hallway with people at the end of it. I knew that a couple sexy women were in the group and I raised my hand, which kind of magically summoned them. They came up the hall and with out a question were ready to do/act in any way I wanted.
The DC of my wife looked pissed at this. I told the dream/DC that I was interested in this activity, that it was clearly a dream, and that in this case if one DC would not play along, well, another one or two will.
At this point the scene shifts around while I am talking and now my wife's family is all around us. They were supposedly up the hall way. Her father is a conservative Christian type, and being preachy. He is telling everyone that her neice and some man (her neice's husband IRL) are in Texas and having sex out of wedlock. The whole family is supposed to come with him to stop them from their sinful ways.
The entire room has become some form of flying platform, kind of like a helicoptor, and we are now all flying to Texas. I decide this is a bunch of stupid BS and that I wil leave. Suddnely I am wrapped in tape as if the dream is going to prevent me from leaving this scene. I roll off of the platform and start to fall to get away. I cause the bindings to break loose and start flying.

Now the TOTM stuff. I decide to try one of the TOTM, but IRL I do not know the story that the task refers to. I am suppossed to go to some castle and find some people and then see where something takes me. Oh well, there is no way for me to do that so i will do a generic version of this. I fly down and see a city of hut type buildings with bamboo constructions and go to the biggest one looking for a king or chief or something. It becomes some sort of feasting hall, like you may see in a primative castle.
I do find a cheif/king and ask him for a quest. He tells me I should fly to Africa and cut the grass. Ok? I have no idea what that would involve, but let's just see where it takes me. "You want me to fly to Africe and cut the grass? I do not understand, but I will see if I can figure it out. Where are we now?"
He tells me that we are in the land of the Mayains. I take off flying and decide to try and create a realistic Superman type flight. I picture the globe in my mind, but in hindsight I thought Africa was were S. America is and vice versa. I created images of Myan type buildings and jungle stuff as I flew. When I reached the shore of the Ocean I was starteled by a wonderful visual experience. I was floating in the clouds and could see half of the visuals were of an amazing otherwordly city. It was straight out of fantasy paintings with castles and pillars and cliffside villa. The lighting was cause by that kind of streaming sun beam effect. If I turned I saw a crazy vision of the sea, with hundreds of curling waves and crazy texture. I was in awe. This lasted for awhile while I took it all in.
After that I flew the rest of the way to Africa. I saw the roofs were thached in grass and landed at an outside restruant. I sat at the bar and considered cutting the edge off the hanging grass roof, but choose to talk with the bar man and have a drink instead.

Hey I'm getting better at this recall thing! 2 dreams recalled last night, even if they were a little fragmented.

Cigar Gift (ND)

I found myself in some sort of banquet room, sitting at a table with my mom's cousin Mike, his daughter Rachel, one of my past clients Kevin, and a friend of his. Apparently Kevin's friend was loaded, because he gave each of us a a gift bag that had multiple little cigar "gift packs" inside of them. Inside each package there are 3 small cigars that have a wrapper that says "Cohiba," and smell absolutely delicious; like a mixture of vanilla and honey. There is also an exquisite, hand carved, wooden cigar tube, and several plastic tie bags for what I assume would be unfinished cigars. I think its important to note that I am not a cigar smoker, and am absolutely floored to find out that cohiban cigars are actual authentic cubans.

The container is also lined with white silk, and underneath that there seems to be some odd, forgotten items, like cheap tea bags and some small candies. Someone else walks up to the table, I forget who exactly but I have the feeling I know them well, and I invite them to come outside and share a cigar with me. Mike and Rachel get up to come with, and I wake up.


House Sitting (ND)

It seems as if I'm house sitting the neighbor's house two doors down from where my parents live. The house is much larger than I remember, with the entire interior changed. The only thing that seems normal is the outside view. well this would have been a perfect opportunity for a RC... oops I don't remember why I am here, but I hear a strange knock on the front door, which frightens me. I run to one of the windows to look outside and see who it is, and the house is so large that it seems if all the windows are able to face the front door. reality check #2 possibility... oops It takes me so long to get to a window, that by the time I am there, the person is gone. I walk around the house some more and look out the windows that face my parents house. These windows are open, and I can feel a nice, cool breeze coming through. I get a little chilly and look down to realize why I was so nervous to answer the door to begin with. I am completely naked.

cannot remember the driving segment

But i do recall the last dream where I was with a group apparently fighting another, it all seemed rather game style in the lack of real urgency, kind of something like Rust or WarZ/Infestation, where you can group up/fight other people in an open world game. I remember calling out to the group we followed into a building, ended up deciding to try and be peaceful,

I remember stepping out through a window onto a roof meeting 2 others, I was with another who i cannot remember the detail of. I had my gun down, but one of them saw fit to keep a laser on my head, they even closed the distance and kept their aim right on me..... their eyes wide, serious.... it was a bit much and I just lost all sense of safety, like at any second they could pull the trigger and end me..... so i quickly shot the one aimed with laser down, i think the other took off.

Im starting to form a consistent sleep schedule, so my recall should stay consistent as well and it will become easier to lucid.
Anywho, here are my dreams from last night. I will now try to put my dreams in order from those which happened first to those which happened last.

1. I was with my class, and we were walking next to a really large body of water, maybe an ocean? The water was almost a teal color, with green being the more dominant in the mixture. I somehow got into the water and realized,"Wow this is about 15-20 feet deep". I tried swimming back up, but I couldn't. There I was, under almost 20 feet of water, not being able to surface. I got really uneasy, but not enough to know that I was about to die. I stood at the bottom of this body of water, trying to figure out a way to get out.
I was running out of breath, and about to drown. Soon, my body was out of oxygen and I had to breathe. I breathed in ocean water. I could breathe! But I had a lot of difficulty breathing, but none the less it was happening. I became semi-lucid but at this point I still had a little fear in me for some reason. At this point, the dream ended.

2. It was really cold, and me and a couple of friends were hanging outside, next to an almost frozen river. My friends Ryan, Jared, and Brittany were with me, and even a few other friends that I dont remember. We were about to head into this half frozen river, but we were waiting on a group of people ahead of us to cross it first. It was like some kind of course that we were completing.
Once the other group made it across, we started on our way. I remember everyone being in canoes, but we wouldn't be able to use them right because of the fact of how the river was almost frozen. Ice was forming on the surface. I got out of my canoe and got on a platform of rocks that had a level surface. I was the only one in front, everyone else was behind me. I dived into the water and starting swimming. I could feel the ice cold water around my body as I broke through the ice on the surface.
The ice was still thin though, so I could break it pretty easily, almost effortless. I continued swimming but I had alot of trouble(Im not a good swimmer in real life). I remember my friend ryan having broken legs or something and he was right behind me, swimming at the same pace. I gave it my all and kept pushing forward. Eventually I made it to the other side were an opening in some type of cave was. It wasnt a cave, but more like a small building crafted into the side of this mountain/giant rock. I climbed out of the water and grabbed onto some rocks. I then climbed up onto the ledge of this building formation and proceeded inside.
"Wow" I thought, "Im really bad at swimming and Im the first one here. My friend Ryan was close behind me and soon climbed up too, and I helped him get up inside and over the ledge. My god, he had something wrong with his leg and he made it to this room second. We waited on everyone else and while we did, I looked around the place. It looked like something out of Halo (a game). It was all silver/shiny gray on the walls and floor. There were a system of lines on the walls the went around the entire room.
Our friends were approaching the building. Ryan had gotten some type of claw type things, which were blue, that could grab onto stuff. We attached these to the ledge and everyone started climbing up. It was like a grappling hook in a way.

3. I was inside of a big grocery store. I was in the middle section of the store with my family. I "knew" that I had been to this grocery store multiple times so it was nothing unusual. The aisle we were on had snap backs on it, so I decided to take a look because I've been needing a new one for a while now. I saw a gray snap back which was the exact same size as my green snapback, and it had the one up mushroom on it from Mario as well. I also saw an exact replica of my old snapback, it was like a copy.
I picked it up and compared it to my old hat, they were practically the same except for mine was dirty from years of wear and tear. I ended up picking out the grey one and asked my dad if I could get it. He said yes but he'd rather that I got a hat that was a mix of a hat with a beanie(you know, those beanies that have bills). I though about WHY I would need that, considering the fact we live in Texas and its almost never that cold here. I went to go look at these weird beanies and after a thorough inspection of them, I decided to ignore what my dad had told me. I tried one of the beanies on and looked in the mirror- I looked stupid. So I passed on getting a beanie and stayed with my gray hat.
We started walking to the checkout and I think we went through it and bought my hat, but all I remember for sure was walking out and on the way passing some black guy. He told me that he was about to blow up the store. I just continued walking out, because I was leaving anyway. Me and my family got to "our: car, which was a REALLY small white compact sedan. It was SO small I have no idea how I fit inside, or even more- how we ALL fit inside. I got in the drivers seat because my mom told me I was driving.
I put my seatbelt on and put the car in reverse after everyone got in. I then backed out and started driving towards the exit of the parking lot. As I put my foot on the brake, I realized that my foot could barely reach it, and that I had to stretch to get to it. Im not short, and being 5'10 I should've been able to reach it with no problem at all, and even then, this was a compact car so I dont see how this made sense. I then looked around and noticed that all of my mirrors were off and so I couldnt really see much of who was behind me. I remember stopping at a stop sign and that was the end.

4. I was inside of a school library, and I had been here before. It was huge and there were really tall shelves with books in them(Ive always wanted to read a book in a dream just to see what happens). I went over to the middle section of the library were there were some rather short book shelves. My family was with me. I went to grab a book from the top shelf and to my luck, all of the books from the top shelf fell off and onto all of the other books.
Fortunately, the books landed rather nicely and in a pile on top of other books, so it wasn't a complete mess. I didn't worry about it. However, an old man in what looked like his 60's or 70's came by and was furious about what I had done. He didn't work in the library, just a regular old dude. He came over to me and start blabbering off and complaining. I could tell he was really mad. The Librarian came over and told the old guy to calm down, and that it wasn't a big deal.
Soon, he just walked away, but he was still mad. I continued looking at books and my mom was looking at some too. I remember walking around this school, but I forgot alot about that part.

5. I was in someones back yard I think, and it was really swampy. The entire back yard was filled in about 3 inches of water all around. I had my vans on and had been walking around with my sister back there. I was still a little upset about my vans, but it was whatever. As we continued walking around, we encountered two rather large chickens. They were pretty hairy and were about 5 times bigger than the average chicken. They had sharp beaks too(Now that I think about it, they more resembled a giant turkey mixed with a vulture).
They trotted their way towards me, and the bigger one started trying to attack me. I had a big object in my hand, so I used it to separate me and the turkey thing. This went on for about a minute or so, and after this the dream ended I think.

6. I was inside of someones house, and the owner was throwing a party. It was all people my age, everyone was around 16, 17, or 18. Someone had brought in a new drug, one that I had never seen before or heard of. I went inside of the living room and watched an informational video about this drug, which alot of people in the house were on.
As I watched the video, it described the effects of the drug, and what it did to the body. At one point in the video, the narrator said that the drug made whatever poop that you had in your body, swell up inside of your intestines. He also said it made you throw up poop as well- while it was inflated or whatever. This was the definite point where I decided I would pass on this drug and not do it.
After the video ended, I walked around the house, just waiting for too see the effect the drug had on people who had taken it. As I expected, the people who took the drug, started throwing up their own poop. Other people started taking a crap in the middle of the floor, and their poop was bigger than a football(I know, this is really gross, but hey gotta record the dream lol). I remember coming across one dude with red hair, a little chunky. He was throwing up the worst, constantly hurling his own poop out of his body from both his mouth and his a**hole. It was really nasty, and I was really glad that I didn't take the drug.
