Fraggle=Fragment

Fraggle

Something about Diana Ross...I was at her concert and I was singing her songs

Ridiculous.

Date: September 13, 2013

I had only a fragment to report to you today. I got married to Chris Brown (the singer), but I felt that somehow in the dream the wedding was wrong...but I didn't get lucid from that feeling. I just thought that it was normal to be a nervous bride who was marrying Chris Brown . I can't quite remember the other fragments...maybe later on today they will come to me and I will journal them then.

Edit: I also remember another fragment I had regarding eating the best sweet potatoes I ever ate in my life! These were like magical sweet potatoes, that already had butter, brown sugar, and marshmellows in them, all you had to do was cook them and eat them without adding anything! Ah, why couldn't sweet potatoes be like this in RL?

Dream 1:

I was with my older niece who was adamant about finding someone to do her hair. She is very picky about who does her hair so we were searching day and night for the right person. When we finally found the right person for the job, I had to wait for a very long time. As I was waiting, I noticed that we were in some type of shopping center. I saw what looked like a ‘dollar store,’ and a place where kids could have a birthday party (like a Chuck E. Cheese). I do remember the parents looked miserable at the Chuck E. Cheese, like they just wanted it to be over.

While I was waiting, I ran into a student of mine (I was a teacher in the dream) who didn’t understand the course assignments given to her. Instead of going over the course assignment, I told her to give me her email address and I would email her the directions. She stated her email wasn’t working and I spent all day explaining to her how to do the assignment. Her mother was with her and her mother was really agitated with me for some reason.

Dream 2:

I came home and I really wanted to be alone and I found several children waiting on me to take care of them. Many of the children’s parents wanted to know my work history and if I was able to handle so many kids at one time (not sure what my job was, maybe a baby sitter?). The parents were not very nice and they couldn’t leave my home until I was able to rattle off my work history and experience with kids. One parent was talking to me (or at me) and wouldn’t let me get one word in. She went on and on about why I was not capable of handling children and wasn’t sure I was the right person for the job.

Frag 1:

I was on DV reading everyone’s post about becoming lucid (how could I have missed this dream sign?! )

Frag 2:

I was eating some mixed nuts and I really like the brazil nuts and noticed that when I opened the container, mostly all of the nuts were brazil nuts (instead of the usual peanuts, cashews, pecans, hazelnuts, etc.). The brazil nuts were really big and long, which never happens to me when I buy a can of mixed nuts. Usually, I am digging around the can trying to find them so I can eat them first. I really should have become lucid because this was a fragment too good to be true .

Frag 3:

Something about a History Book...

Total sleep hours: Not enough!

Fraggle:

All I can remember is that my husband and niece (baby) was wanting me to do something and I wouldn't do it or I didn't understand how to do it.

Fragment:

Dreamed of my deceased aunt trying to make me sign for something (can't remember what it was).

Method: WBTB & MILD (WILD)
Total hours of sleep time: 7 hours (WBTB 1 hour)

Well, I tried to repeat my success I had yesterday by doing a WBTB for 1 hour...no success. All I have to offer is bits and pieces of a dream.

At a hotel (again), some type of trip I was taking with a group of people. We all belonged to something (maybe a church group) and I wanted to leave, but I was not allowed. I noticed that my bed sheets were not changed by the maid when I got back from downstairs and this pissed me off.

Total Sleep Time: Not enough!

Fragment

Eating breakfast with my niece at IHOP (piping hot pancakes with lots of butter and hot coffee...my favorite) and there was something about the breakfast special that I was very concerned about, but I believe my concern was that I didn't ask for the special and we were paying far too much for what we ordered.

Note: I woke up starving!

Total Sleep Time: ???

Frag

I was in some type of department store and I think I was looking for a lamp (not sure though). I kept asking the workers where would I find this item and they would tell me where in the store it was located. As soon as I go to that particular aisle, the item would not be there. I would go back and ask the worker the same thing and she would tell me to go back to that same aisle to find the item. Just like in the movie 'Groundhog Day,' I would just do this same scenario over and over and over again...

Note: Too short and broken up to call this a dream. I should have become lucid just from the constant repetition .

Date: July 26, 2013
Method: MILD & WBTB
Total Sleep Time: 7-8 'broken hours'

Fragment

An elderly couple eating spaghetti.

That's it.

Note to self: Not a good night, couldn't focus on my WILD attempt due to being stressed out about my day today. Stress and lucid dreaming does not mix!

Method: MILD & WBTB (too exhausted to stay awake for my WILD attempt )

Dream Frag:

I was in a car with someone and I told him that I wanted to go home, but we kept driving around in circles. I would look down at my clothes and they would change everytime I looked down (do you think this was my dream sign??? Uh...yeah!). It didn't seem to concern me that my clothes kept changing, I just wanted to go home...never did make it home .


Note: One of my famous recurring dreams about being lost and not being able to find home.

No Method (long day at work, just went to bed)

Piece's of a dream #1:
Living in Columbus Ohio for a short while with my sister then it was time to go back to my life in another state. I have to make a decision on if I was ready to move to my state, or stay in Columbus and live closer to my family.

#2:
Inside a school cafeteria eating lunch and my son was singing and I told him to be quiet because he could not sing.

Napping:
I was baby sitting and showing new mothers how to bath their newborn babies. They were very nervous and I could hear their heart beating so loud and fast. Many of them could not be in the same room and had to step out for several parts of the demonstration.

Method: MILD & WBTB
Sleep Time: Can't remember but I believe I had gotten around 7-8 hours of sleep.

Dream #1
Dreamed I was in an elevator with Albert Einstein and Nickola Tesla. The elevator was going up and then all of a sudden it stopped abruptly. I looked at my fellow elevator friends and said, "Something is wrong." I felt like I was becoming lucid, but at that exact moment, the elevator spun out of control and the dream faded and I woke up. Damn it!

Dream #2
I was in my sister's apartment and she was having a party for some kids. they were running around all crazy from the sugar 'high' and constantly drinking sodas. I was trying to help my sister move furniture out of the way and I noticed several mice marching on the floor in a straight line...this scared me to death...so much that I woke up...AGAIN!

Dream Fragment #1
I was carefully painting a child's table and chair in primary colors.

Dream Fragment #2
Shopping with my sis in law at a Kmart and we both wanted a pair of curtains we saw during the 'sidewalk' sale. The curtains were for spring and you got 2-4 curtains for a dollar. We both wanted those curtains so bad...

Note to self: Do you think Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla in an elevator with you was your dream sign? Uh...YEAH!

Dream #1
Dreamed I was in the store with some students I haven't seen in a very long time. I was introducing them to my family and I was calling their names out one by one. They had grown up and they wanted me to come into a store with them so they could by some sweets to eat. This is was the biggest candy store I have ever seen. The students bought so much candy that the store immediately sold out. There were these old ladies baking some weird kind of pastries that I had never seen before. The old ladies said that the store was out of candy, but the students would like to eat these pastries because they were sweet like candy...and then I woke up.

Dream #2
Dreamed I was helping someone clean a huge bathroom with a lot of bleach. The bathroom was gleaming white and the person was telling me the importance of using as much bleach as possible to keep it clean. We had the longest conversation about bleach, but I can only remember a little of it. I do remember having the feeling that who ever I was talking to kept the conversation going regarding the importance of bleach. There is more to this dream, I just can't remember the fine details

Dream fragment
I remember seeing the face of one of my husband's old childhood buddies and he wanted to have sex with me. He kept asking me and I kept saying no and then he said he will just do the other thing that women like for men to do (you know what I'm saying here don't you?!) and I still said no (Note to self: This should have really been a dream sign to me because I would have never refused something like that !!!).

Dream Fragment #1:
I was with someone selling several items like fish tanks, juke boxes, neon signs, snacks and drinks. My GOD son was their telling me that someone would not let him get something to drink and I got mad at them and mad them hand over the drinks.

Dream Fragment #2
I was at some sort of workshop or conference...it could have even been a church with several people and I was listening to a teacher that I know (LC). I started to walk home and started seeing my neighborhood. Walking down the street were several animals. First I saw dogs with long leashes pulling them, but no one was on the other end of the leash pulling the dogs. It was like the people were invisble with the leash hanging in the air and the dogs were being pulled (possible dream sign?). Then, cows and maybe a bull started coming down the same street...then I got distracted by a clothesline ...I felt like something was wrong, but instead of becoming lucid, I just woke up.

Note to self: 1) Not feeling well and I took some cold medicine, so I don't know if this had an effect on my dreams . 2) Don't give up, just be thankful that you're remembering something! .
