I've been keeping a journal but not online - this has proved to be a bad idea as my recall has been poorer without writing stuff out twice - I'm going to try harder - I had a nasty dream last night which is worth chronicling.....

My son had gone missing two days ago. It appeared we treated him like a cat and put him outside and he never came back (he's four IRL) we never contacted hte police either. I was moping around the house with my wife and we were talking (I forget the converstaions) but every so often I would break into hysterical crying and shouting because I had lost my son and how he must be dead after two days outside. Anyway, I decided to go out and look for him. Outside my house (which was as IRL) was the estate I used to live in 20 years before. It was a very accurate reproduction. In the distance I could see some lads. One of them I recognised as the son of my mothers best friend. I went up to them and asked if they had seen my son but they were no help. I walked back to my house. I then had a strange flashback to my son rolling down a slope and ending up underneath a tree. I found the slope to the left of my house, climbed down it and my son was wrapped in a white blanket at the bottom of a hedge. I pulled back the cover. He wasn't moving. I jabbed him in the legs a few times and he stirred and said 'Much better now' He then awoke a started biting me, I grabbed his leg and bit him back, just a very small nip. He calmed down and sat up. His face had changed into a hideous wizened old mans. His features were all sharp, his eyes sunken his jowls saggy. He reached out to touch me with pointy old mans hands and I flinched when his fingers felt sharp against my skin. I sapped him away and picked him up and took him into the house. My wife was shocked rather than happy to see him alive. She asked what had happened to change him so much and I mumbled something about him being dehydrated and my son seemed to agree. I then woke up, very relieved that it was a dream.

A couple of other bits and pieces

I was out the back of the shop. There were two itinerants putting a load of crap into bags. One of them looked up at me and said 'Do you have any more of those rubble sacks??'

I was up the back of the shop. A tricky customer I know IRL came in, I feinted right and ducked under a pile of trousers in an entirely successful attempt to avoid the bugger.

This is my first DJ entry. I actually had this dream about a week ago, but it was a very interesting one, so I figured I'd get the ball rolling and post it anyway.

I've recently graduated high school and I'm back at home, and I'm going to the high school alumni Mass (Catholic school) in hopes of seeing some of my old friends. I saw a friend of mine named P that had transferred schools at the beginning of junior year, and I hadn't seen him since then. We hadn't been good friends and we always kept our distance just because our personalities were not very compatible. But we each smiled warmly at each other and found a seat together. Pretty soon, we're shooting the shit like old friends. Another female friend from my high school named M joins us, and we're just having a fun time before the Mass starts.

I want to note the church I was in, if you can call it that. It was in the same room that we were going to have the reception dinner in, so there were tables and chairs instead of pews. In the back corner of the room, there was a hallway filled with arrangements of couches, comfy chairs, and tables. That was where we were. M and I shared a couch, and P had a chair. I don't remember where the altar was in particular; it could have been at the front of the dining room like it normally should have been, but I also remember it being in the hallway next to me. It was a weird layout that didn't make sense, but whatever.

Anyway, the Mass starts and everything goes as normal. M was the one who was supposed to read the First Reading, so she did that and came back. But when we got to the reading of the Gospel, things got weird.

The priest saying the Mass was a short old dude who looked like the priest in The Princess Bride. He had an abrasive and loud high-pitched voice. He began to read a verse from the Bible. At first it was like any other verse, but as he read on, I began to recognize it as a verse that was extremely important.

Now it's time to tell the backstory on this dream: P was a classmate of mine until early junior year, when he transferred to another school. Nobody in my class seemed to have much contact with him, except Facebook. Down the line, he started making strange Facebook statuses about getting into fights, strange conspiracy theories, and hateful statuses. I didn't think much of it; P was always combative and not that easy to get along with IRL. But one day, I the school made an announcement that he had killed himself. People who still talked to him said that he was basically a shell of himself. He died a week before his birthday. I attended the funeral, and the testimonies I heard showed me a different side of him. He was always known for his loyalty and willingness to help his friends and family. It left a big impact on me.

So back to the dream. The priest was saying the Gospel, and although I don't remember any of the content of the verse, it was somehow strongly related to P and his death. I don't know if it was read at his funeral, or actually written about his death or what, but there was a strong connection that lay heavier in my heart the more he read. Dark ominous strings were playing in the background as he bellowed the verse. Everyone else in the room recognized the verse too, and everyone saw its connection to P. When the priest finished the reading, everyone was in tears. M was curled up into a ball weeping. I put my arm around her comfortingly, and made eye contact with another guy with tears in his eyes, while I fought to keep mine back. The room was in silence now except for the sound of sobbing. The Mass seemed to be over this point. I got up and gave P a massive bro-hug. I told him to look around at all the people who missed him, and to not ever think that he wasn't loved.

Soon, people started to file out, including M. I had some more questions for P. I asked him, "So how does it feel for you to be back here now?... you know, the actor you." When I said that I realized how badly worded and nonsensical that sentence was, and that caused me to wake up.

I haven't had a dream that powerful and vivid in a long long time.

Non-lucid
1-2:30PM nap
I'm out running errands with my mother and my sister. I have my dragon, Ryuu

in my arms. He seems to be asleep, he's completely limp in my arms with his eyes closed, but he's cold to the touch.
"Mom, what's wrong with him? Why isn't he moving?" I ask.
Mom doesn't respond, but parks the car at the pool and we all three go inside. Mom starts talking to a few people while I go near the waterslide. By the stairs near the waterslide is a little triangular machine in the water. I pick it up and look at it thoroughly, then put it back. Ryuu starts to move and is getting warmer, so I'm guessing he only had to warm up like cold-blooded creatures do.
"Mom, Ryuu's wiggling now!" I tell her, as she's saying good bye to another person.
Then, I wake up.

I am in a big forest and am surrounded by dark figures. I start fighting them off and realize that I am dreaming.I try to figure out where I am at and am greeted by Peter Pan. He helps me fight off the dark figures and tells me that Wendy has turned evil and is trying to kill all the lost boys. I decide to help him and he is stunned by my ability to fly. I tell him that he needs me on his side to win and we head through the forest. I decide to only use flying when necessary and fight with just my bare hands against the crazy shadowy figures attacking all the lost boys. It is strange because I am still my age and the boys are all 13 or so, so I am kinda protecting a bunch of children. I finally make it to the tree house and Wendy has climbed up to the top and is throwing spells at us. I fly to the top with Peter and I knock he back while dodging the spells. I almost get hit by one and I "protego" to get out, hoping that Peter didn't see. The spell rebounds back to her and it shrinks her to the size of a doll and I kick her back. Peter kicks her down and she almost falls 30 feet, but her tiny doll hands keep a hold on the tree. I try to do the next maneuver without flying or dream powers and do a front flip kick down at her and knock her down to the ground. The 30 foot drop kills her and the shadow creatures dissipate. The boys are all excited and I am trying to find a way to climb down without flying. I am just like... meh. and jump down, slowing down at the last second before I hit the ground. Wendy turned back to normal and was lying dead with blood spilling out of her mouth. I woke up.

I had a dream which was sort of lucid. I was aware of some things, but I was still really connected to the dream's story line and didn't even think to abandon it and complete my goals.


Teleportation and Time Travel

I was driving through an unfamiliar big city (dream sign). I came up on a big hill and started to go down. I realized that I couldn't reach the brake. I also realized that I wasn't even in the drivers seat. What was I doing driving a car from the passengers side (another dream sign!)?? The car was picking up speed. I would soon reach the bottom of the hill and crash if I couldn't get to the brake. I stretched my leg. My foot kept getting caught on things in the way. Finally when all seemed lost, my foot touched the brake pedal, and I was able to apply pressure until I stopped.

I decided that I really didn't want to be driving here in this big city. I needed to go back home. But then I looked over and saw that I was about a block or two from the ocean. Suddenly Tanya was with me. I said, "Let's go walk on the beach for a few minutes before going back, shall we?"

I made a left turn to try to find a place to park, and we were suddenly on foot. We walked past all these cool looking restaurants. I wanted to go in one, but decided to do that on the way back. We continued to walk. I noticed we were both pushing baby strollers. I think it was little Charles in mine. Not sure who the other baby was.

As we got closer to the beach the shops were further apart, less fancy and looked a lot more run down. A guy came out of one as we approached. He held up some things he was selling. It reminded me of being in a foreign country. I told him I wasn't interested in buying anything. Suddenly he pulled the strollers (and us) into his shack and handcuffed the strollers to a pole. I was feeling quite afraid. I don't know why I didn't think to scream for help. But then I realized something. I'm lucid, I thought. (I wasn't lucid enough to create a whole new dream scene, but I was lucid enough to know I had power over the situation). I told Tanya to grab my hand and close her eyes, and I would get us out of there.

I pulled us all close and closed my eyes and transported us back to the busy shop area. Not only did I do that, but I had transported us back in time by a couple hours--so the bad guy wouldn't come after us.

It was such a feeling of accomplishment. I knew I had never done anything quite like that in my dreams before.

I think I lost lucidity after that. I remember meeting up with Jacob and looking at things in one of the shops.

Theft from the forges

I entered a forge in an old village. Suddenly I realised that someone would steal something soon. I looked all around and saw an old man taking a huge anvil in his hands and going out. I took two axes out of my pockets and showed them to the man. Everyone in the building reacted, telling me to hide the weapons. I've done it and went away.

Blood

I remember a part of a dream where my brother was trying to make me bleed badly but i was sure he would not do it. My arm started bleeding out some jelly like substance but when I wiped it off i was fine.

Lethargic

I was walking on the sidewalk where my house is and saw a African man walking in my direction. It looked like he appeared out of no where. He was carrying a net filled with coconuts and i got the feeling he came from the beach. Also he had a buzz cut and was wearing denim overalls. I ran but was slower than him so he caught up to me and i think that's when he said he wanted to give me a coconut. I took one but than gave it back to him and ran to my house.

I got stuck in between a goat and some other animals though that were on the stairs of the porch. Someone pulled me out or i got out though and made it inside my house but it looked different.That is when my mom came in and told me she would comfort me. She morphed into another lady though. "I'm not sad." I told her but than she said I didn't have to hide it and hugged me. "Is this about finding a new dream guide?" I thought.

Than she took me into a room where my cousin was. My cousin was spraying her hair with a bottle of hair dye and soon her whole look was changing. First hair grew out and changed to red but than it became long and a grayish white. "I need to stop spraying myself with this. Its making me lethargic." she said. I thought she overdid it cause her whole face changed too.Than I woke up.

Futuristic Mall

[In the beginning of this dream I was at a park with a few game characters trying to escape a missile from hitting me.But than the scene changed.]

I was now inside a facility that i thought was a resort where people on trips would go. My co workers were present and i said hello to them. But than I had a sudden urge to go to the bathroom. I was told by a woman behind a desk, with medium length black hair and a bored face, that she had the key to the bathroom. She gave me a brown key and mentioned how she didn't talk much either.I told her I didn't talk much at times but there were still times I talked a lot as I was walking away. She gave me a serious look or was it a bored stare, idk but I felt like she didn't like me much. I said she was right about me being quiet like her at times than ran off to go to the bathroom. But I ended up bumping into my younger brother.

He needed help catching something in the air. For some reason I started flying in the air as I tried to catch the thing he wanted and felt like I was in trouble. I called for help than a really tall man near us offered to help us. My younger brother told me to hold onto the really tall man so i did. Then I held onto the wall as I climbed down. When I got down I saw an old friend of mine and other people. The setting now changed to what seemed like a futuristic mall. There were white stairs in front of us with covers on each step. I tried to go under but than stopped because i couldn't fit." Is this for kids?" I asked. MY old friend said yes and that I had to take the ride up.

It was a white curvy handle. I held it and suddenly it extended and I was pulled up into the air and flying up and around and i felt like the machine made me do a loop like a roller coaster. I landed on the platform wondering where the guy with the yellow juice in his hand was. Another machine ended up putting him down where i was than the juices he was carrying(the cups looked like clear cups you get from a fast food restaurant) fell down in front of us when he was placed down. " Aw, man...Forget it, I'll just buy us more." he said. I said okay than left with him to what was now supposed to be my new school apartment room. It looked like a really nice place. There was a teacher present telling us to prepare ourselves for the meeting. When she left others who were present left too so that's when i took the opportunity to try on a really long curly orange anime looking wig on i found in my suit case. It was in a high pony tail style.

For some reason that's the way I wanted to look in school now. After that I decided to change but than people started coming back too soon. So I sat at a table hoping someone would notice the change in my hair. But than I saw that i was wearing cute pajamas too and felt a little embarrassed. A boy who reminded me of Eye came up to me and said something weird and his friends and him laughed after that. I told him to be quiet than decided to look in a mirror. I now saw that my orange hair now looked black. But It needed to be fixed more so i decided to go to the bathroom. The place was now morphed into a cafeteria looking place filled with students. But it also had a mixed atmosphere of an abandoned city on an alien planet.

I walked looking for the bathroom entrance and saw a area where students received food and next to it was a door. I went through it and saw that i was now in a place that looked like a formal simple looking church. My old friend was there and she was trying to help little girls get in the right spot on stage by name. One little girl was crying saying that another girl stole her name. But my old friend mentioned that there was nothing to worry about because she will take the impostors, put them on line, than punish them when they say that their someone else. I was going to wait till they were done but decided i would jump past the seats and go to the other entrance. Which I did.

To my surprise the room wasn't really a bathroom. But a Chinese boy staring at a flower/fruit painting caught my attention. He was chubby and had one of his eyes covered with a hair bang.I walked closer to the painting he was looking at. As i was looking he mentioned something inappropriate. Than for some reason we were going to fight.
To my surprise the boy that looked like Eye was present too and was being a jerk. So i fought him too. But than he mentioned something about how he almost tricked me into taking a a bath with him. I told him that wouldn't work than suddenly he morphed into my dad." Ew! Get out of here!" I told him. Than I woke up.

New DG Search

I was in the city streets when suddenly a gang of guys mentioned how they were going to shoot people for fun. Others called them than I ran. But one of them dared a little boy to catch me.I realized it was a dream and pretended to be afraid. I imagined teleporting to my house and the little boy followed. Once he entered though I kicked him and made him disappear. I left the room after that and was told something by my brother. I think he wanted to lock me in a room but I said no.

I think that is when the scene shifted and I was now in a classroom with my older brother, his friend and little children. One of the kids were writing on the tables so i told him to stop and to clean up his mess. But he just laughed and ran to a different part of the room. I got a wet paper towel and started wiping the table but than got distracted by my brother and his friend. We ended up hitting each other with paper balls like were playing some game. After that I said I was going to leave and ended up in a city where my old friend was present.

"Ohh....right....This is a dream..." I said to myself. There were plenty of people walking around in the city but it wasn't crowded. "Lets look for my new dream guide!" I told some people around me. They were okay with helping me out so I started shouting "Who wants to be my new dream guide!!?" as I was walking and the other were shouting "Who wants to be her dream guide!?". A tall big orange looking women came to us and said how she only guides little girls. That maybe I had to find someone of the other gender. I told her I wasn't a little girl and told her my age. She said okay than i think she left or followed us. We kept walking and shouting the same thing.

That was until I decided to take it to a different direction."Maybe I should try a wolf dream guide. Lets try looking for a wolf dream guide!" I said. I followed the others to inside a home that had the interior of a family house to the right but to the other side was a dark underground forest. The old friend of mine took my hand and was going to lead me into the forest."Wait! We should talk to the ones that are here first!" I said sort of scared to go in." I looked inside and saw little animals, even my parakeet Marisol, bathing in flower pots of dirt.Than I went into the kitchen and said hello to a group of wolf people who were eating raw meat. The mom was cooking some meat though. " Hey, does anyone here want to be my dream guide?" I asked. But no one responded. Than when I turned I saw my younger cousin taking away the meat from the wolf people. They began growling." You guys shouldn't eat meat!" She said as she was taking it away from them and putting it into a clear bag.

"No! Put it back! Your making them mad!" I shouted at her. That's when I flew out of the house and the others followed. The wolf people chased us out than the mom wolf person saw her sister walking in the street. "Your late." she said. The sister wiped her mouth a bit. I sort of got the feeling she was hiding something and just came back from being drunk. The sister than apologized for being late and I woke up.

There is a scene change and I am now looking at Sensei's dream journal, which is quite a large book, which when opened reveals that for this lucid dream that was 1.10 hrs or 110 mins long Sensei has decided go draw the entire dream. I browse through several large fully illustrated pages. On the first page is Sensei himself like on a large poster, it looks like a mix between a very good drawing and a computer manipulated picture with really cool colors. He is wearing a sort of anime style/futuristic adventure outfit. The whole journal entry comes to life and now looks like a youtube video. In the meantime, the real Sensei comes in the room and starts to voice synch the journal entry that now's playing.

It took so long to recall enough of this dream to write something...

[dream]
I am in a city looking like on the "stadt" Minecraft map but it's not blocky. Buildings, cars, etc. look like they would IRL. I'm walking the streets and don't meet any people. After some time I came across two cars that crashed on the crossroad and saw four bodies laying on the street. I got away from there as fast, as I could. I felt for a while like someone was following me. When the feeling vanished, I started to peacefully walk the streets again. Later I came to some place with cranes lifting something and knew the city region is ending soon, so I stood there. The dream has ended soon.
[/dream]

Non-lucid
I'm at my house, with a tiny man who was carved out of a carrot. He reminds me of an "elf on the shelf" doll, except he's much smaller. He can fit in my palm.
I'm sitting at the kitchen table, watching videos on the laptop of strange creatures attacking people. For some reason, Carrot Man is in all of these videos.
I start to gnaw on Carrot Man, then realize my lower teeth hurt. I touch them, and they wiggle and hurt.
I look outside the big windows in the kitchen to see the entire backyard has flooded with light red water. Dad walks in, and looks out the window and sighs, obviously irritated. "It's flooded... I've never seen the creek up so high. It comes all the way up to our house!"
"I hope Cali is somewhere far away from this."
"I have no doubt she is." He walks away. I continue watching my videos for a little while with Carrot Man, until Mom walks in with groceries. I walk over to her to help.
Then, I wake up.

I've noted a few locations in my dreams that have occurred more than once, and occur at random. I don't choose to go there, they are presented to me. Unfortunately, most of these places don't come to me anymore, and are only here by memory.

Cartoon Temple Track

As best as I can describe it, it is a temple-themed water "ride" that is a bit cartoon-like in art. In one dream, I explored it for the first time. In another dream, I visited the same place, but knew where all the "easter eggs" were (in video game terms) because I created that place.

Cheaply-Made Video Game Level

This one is really basic. It has a solid black floor, and is a rectangular room, with a sort of figure 8 floor plan.



I knew it was cheap because I could glitch to the top of any wall and shoot below. Also there was bots. There is no roof, and the outer barrier was a cityscape.


And most recetly:
An England Town

And I know how vague that sounds, but this picture looks EXACTLY like what I'm picturing in my dreams.



Picture this scheme for the buildings, only that the buildings are literally duplicates of each other, all around town. It is shaped a lot like the video game level, except bigger, and more detail. Not just flat walls, but actual buildings. Also different from this picture was a lack of cars, or I don't remember their being cars. Keep in mind I've never been to England, nor seen this picture before today.

The first dream I entered this place, the entire dream took place here. There were people walking down the streets. I assume there are streets, but I have yet to get a real good look of the ground. Anyways, the dream started with me playing marbles with a couple other kids if I remember correctly (also I'm 20, but likely not in the dream). I heard a bang, and I see one of the buildings are on fire and people are screaming, people start running away from it, I run too. I hear another explosion, more screaming? I don't remember. But as I turned around, every other building was on fire. Smoke filled the air and it had a reddish orange tint.

Just last night, the dream I was having had no resemblance. At one point though, I was exiting a grocery store, and the doors opened up to this England town, no fire, no damage. It's like my dreams were giving me a cameo of my other dream, as this is where the dream ended.

I will definitely update this post if I happen across any familiar locations.

Morning of May 19, 2015. Tuesday.



Scenes in dreams like the following, related to digging through something like a couch, the floor, or a mattress, have not been that uncommon throughout my life since childhood but are usually fairly different in detail. Also, finding stuff in our house that had been left behind by any previous tenants or landlord (not necessarily requiring any digging in every case) is also recurring - though again, with different details, including previously “hidden” rooms or furniture we somehow had not noticed before. In addition to the fair amount of time spent in-dream looking for and finding things, there is often a mild sense of disappointment as well as having wasted time in some cases upon waking; a mood I usually do not acquire from a dream. In fact, as a child, when I did not know any better, I had a habit of holding onto the last item I found steadfastly in a futile attempt to wake up with it and have it in reality, though obviously, that never worked. I sometimes woke gripping my pillow or the sheet; other times just making a fist.

This dream has the recurring “couch filled with dirt” situation. My wife and I are in our present home on W Street and at one point I develop a vague curiosity about what may have been left behind by any previous tenants. It does not make all that much sense due to the fact that the couch, of the type that becomes a bed by the back dropping down (rather than the type we have in reality that folds out into a larger bed from under the seat) - and of the kind I had in Florida as a teenager for a time - is apparently our furniture in my dream (and thus moved here from a previous house regarding any in-dream back story, rendering my dream’s situation invalid). I start by ripping back the material near one end and digging through the dark dirt filling. At some points, I am able to go around the edges near the floor and find more items. Apparently, unlike in reality, there are no cushions; just “dirt bedding” within that goes all the way down to the floor.

What I find is typical of my in-dream “treasure hunts”. I find a few old random paperback novels; some science-fiction, some romance, and even a western or two (all unfamiliar). I find a couple board games that likely have missing tokens. There are some old magazines, larger documents that look like order blanks from A4-sized catalogs, but not any comic books that I can see. Being buried in rich soil for however long has not ruined anything, it seems. I eventually notice what may be some of our own paperback books (and some other items) close to the wall but behind the couch and stacked loosely on the floor, but am not exactly sure where our books end and the previously hidden items begin at one point since the dirt had become looser and some items came out from the back of the couch.

At one point, I find a longer mostly yellow commercial cardboard container (about one and a half feet by four inches high by eight inches wide) that apparently contains something related to sexuality or the enhancement thereof, though there are no graphic images on the box, just a few printed images of smooth paintings of the backs of a pair of female hands. For a short time, I think that I would probably not want something that belonged to someone else in this case, though the box turns out to be empty other than having two smaller additional featureless gray empty cardboard boxes inside. I am not sure what was in it - possibly only perfume containers or massage oils of some sort.

Eventually, after sorting out mostly the paperbacks into stacks, I also find a number of children’s cardboard frame tray puzzles farther down but do not see the pieces at first (just the shallow cardboard trays). I do eventually find most of the pieces in another area when almost all of the dirt has been moved and I am down to the surface of the wooden floor. One puzzle seems to just utilize a large piece with a drawing of a person’s head that fits in the frame tray (which has minor details of the shoulders and neck, etc.), though others are more complex and “realistic” in nature and including pieces shaped like stars, apples, houses, etc. I notice that some of the pieces have been ruined by someone’s attempt to pull the different layers apart (as younger children sometimes tend to do), some with thin parts of the layers or strips still attached and a couple missing the imagery ply. I decide to keep them to sort out later (for our children) to see which ones are still complete and undamaged.

After a long exploration and setting aside newly found items, I am somewhat frustrated over having reached the wooden floor via the couch, wondering if I should keep going with my quest, though which would require pulling up the planks to get to anything underneath them (which does not make any sense as in reality our house is up on posts and you can actually see through the floorboards to the ground below). I am also puzzled over what had happened to all the dirt since the couch seems somewhat “hollow” at this point (at least on one end) and I do not see any piles of dirt nearby. I do start to smooth over what dirt is left at the other end in the attempt to make the couch “solid” and evenly surfaced as it was, so that it is properly comfortable again. (This is somewhat illogical as the upholstery I had ripped and damaged in my quest would still need to be repaired.)

Finally, I seem to be able to look down under the house and beyond (towards the back of our house) and under a different room; some sort of odd viewpoint that would not be possible in reality (though which may otherwise imply some sort of open space between the lower part of the wall in the next room and the floor, similar to the setup way back on Rose Street as a young child). I see that there are a very large number of small wooden containers under the house in a (fictional) enclosed storage area, each filled with a very large number of vertically arranged seed packets, which I am aware are likely mostly edible plants including carrots, celery, lettuce, strawberry plants, and so on. I start to consider planting them everywhere and anywhere, as there are so many, we are bound to get something edible over time, and for a long time, as there seem to be thousands of packets. I wake up feeling slightly annoyed at having wasted time finding everything.

A lot of dream snippets from this morning:
I'm on my scooter and get on a single lane highway by crossing a grassy median. I start to get up to speed when I realize that I'm driving into oncoming traffic! I make a u-turn and get back to the other lane across the median. Again, as I'm starting to go faster I realize I'm against traffic flow. I feel frustrated and anxious, but don't think to RC.
---
Maybe I'm on a bicycle? S and I are in woods/jungle on a dirt trail. We end up going to a rickety old wooden house to lodge for the night. It's an open floorplan and many other people are staying in the same house. We have a bed in the middle of the floor and it's odd to be sharing this space with so many other people. It ends up costing us around $500 and I comment that it's pretty pricey for what we are getting!
---
I'm at R's helping him with something. I'm on the floor somehow mashed between a coffee table and a wall with barely any room to move. A comes in and I'm relieved that I'm obviously nowhere near R so she won't think that I'm being too close to him. I didn't wake to record this so most of this dream memory is gone.

I went on a road trip with my aunt and uncle. We stopped in a city parking lot behind a hotel while my uncle took care of some thing in the van while I went inside the hotel to eat.

I sat down on a table in the lobby of the hotel, whose interior looked really nice with lots of gold chandeliers and wall decorations and column trims and a lot of velvet carpeting. the table itself was made from dark wood. An Asian couple was sitting in front of me. I was served (without even asking for anything) a plate of fish-looking rings on top of some lettuce leaves.

I took one bite and instantly spit it out. It was some of the most bitter food I had ever tasted. All of a sudden Chef Gordon Ramsay came up next to me and asked me what was wrong. After I told him about the fish rings he tasted a pinch of it and said, "that's absolutely terrible." then the Asian couple tasted a bit with the same reaction.

That meal made me leave the hotel, and when I got back my uncle told me about a puppy Great Dane with a spotted coat that they had which they knew was going to die.

We kept driving down a barren road and we bumped into my programing teacher driving the other way. we stopped to talk (in the middle of the road because, again, it was really barren) and I told him about the puppy that was going to die. He started to cry while carrying him in his hands.

After meeting up with him we somehow found my physics teacher and stopped by in a gas station. We all went inside and my physics teacher called me over to the women's restroom. Once inside I found that my aunt was also in there and they were both ready to jump scare my uncle, which they (somehow) knew was coming.

That's all I remember...
