Took a nap this afternoon. Longish dream about me being in some kind of a building, lots of corridors, stairs and rooms. The feeling was a mix of some retreat, hospital and work. There were dead bodies wheeled out on gurneys under white sheets, I spoke to the "retreat leader" and thanked him, I looked and found some food, rested in one of the rooms that made me feel like I maybe work there.
Review: I dream about coworkers. I wake up and logically deduce I'm dreaming. But then I fall into the dreams abstract plot. Lucid Logic I'm in a generic building, my friend Al is there. The lights are dim and the dream is obscure looking. I remember talking to Al and then leaving for another room. Then I wake up. Everything looked normal, nothing weird about the room. It wasn't my room, but I am staying at a friend's place. My eyes hurt and vision is normal. Wait a minute, I fell asleep with my contacts on? But I remember very clearly taking them off before I went to bed. I get up and notice some people at my friend's place, who I know were not here last night. I logically conclude, I must be dreaming. But this conclusion worries me, because the dream felt so realistic. I need to confirm this! So I go to a mirror, I recognize my reflection. I tell myself, if I'm dreaming, I can change colors. My skin changes to purple, then green, then orange, then pink. Yep! I'm dreaming. Instead of going on an awesome lucid adventure, I fall into the dreams synopsis. The house is a video game dungeon. In a room behind me they're fighting the dungeon boss. I don't want to deal with it. So I put on a weird mask, the left side of the mask looks like zuko. And I jump outside and fly. I watch the house game from a safe distance. Then I wake up for real.
First remembered dream of the new year (so two nights ago, Dec. 31-Jan. 1): I was at an art store, possibly Michael's or something similar, buying supplies. My calculus teacher was there, working as a cashier for some reason. In the dream, I had a memory of recently receiving a math lesson from him, like the day before or something. I asked him for some clarification on a concept, and he explained it. So essentially he was doing two jobs at the same time. I also saw lots of girls in the shop wearing DeviantArt T-shirts and some guys as well. Then, it faded into watching some sailors load stuff into a ship. My dream journal reads this, exactly: "Apparently, people who wear jeans are more depressed because sailor boys had a depressing job, despite appearing happy, and they wore Levis and black jackets." This was apparently a thought that occurred to me during the dream which seemed perfectly rational at the time. :p Then Jafar from Aladdin appeared, cackling evilly. It freaked me out so much that I woke up. Silly, as in waking life he's just a fun Disney villain. But I think the cackle was what did it. Or the spontaneity. Last night, I have the following note on my phone at 6:06 AM: "New traveling companion who exists neither in space nor in time." I was excited to meet this individual, but then my alarm went off. -_- Ah. I really don't want to start college again in a week. Not that I dislike it or anything, but the stress and lack of sleep....aaaaugh!
