non-lucid

I was clearly at work. We were closed, there was some kind of special thing going on. There was notably a director (a chubby dude with a beard) and a musician (a mid aged woman) When I saw and talked to them, I'm not sure I knew they were a director a musician. They were down by the redemption counter. I had found out Bob Dylan was performing in the mall somewhere.

I went to the kitchen... and was talking with Jeff, there was someone else there too. Seems to me I was supposed to find something out from them to tell the musician/director (and managers who were around there) I was telling jokes. Jeff was making fries, they were on little ... like drainers... over top of the friers. I guess to drain them off, but the drainers were in a grid. I used one of those drainer things you use to take junk out of the frier, to get the fries on a tray. I was saying something really funny but can;t remember the words, though it seemed important. at least I think it was a joke.

I returned to the redemption table with the fries on the tray. We ate them with gravy. We all kind of huddled around them. I mainly stayed there, but the managers (James I think Josh too) would swap out to eat. It was around 5 I think and I decided to quit work early.. Now, I think I had seen Dylan there before in the dream... but maybe not. but I made sure to get out so I could see him. So I clocked out. I started to leave, and I was supposed to be off at 7. I saw my manager and told him I'd stay until 7, once I got back. And he said "until 11?" (when we close) and I said "...7." I thought the manager was Josh, but then I looked beside him to see Josh, I was like 'oh yeah... the other guy who looks like him. This guys chubbier tho" and walked away. I was thinking about 'disarming' like Adrian was saying about Atlas Shrugged. I was not sure if that was the proper way, but I thought it was good I stuck to my guns.

So I went into the mall, and heard a Dylan song... the first one, Im not sure what it was, I dont think it was a real one. Then Dylan was in the audience. The event planner was on the stage, so excited. "The song we wanted you to close with, is one that doesnt get enough recognition!" the music started, and Dylan rolled his eyes and was so disgusted, but he got on the stage anyways. It was like an 80s Barry White song about being sexy or something. There was backing vocals, and music, like Karaoke, no Dylan though. He got on the stage, there were four guys around him playing instruments and back vocals.

Once it was over I went to the back stage, and there was all sorts of weird things. One was like... pipes, almost like a soccer net I guess. I could change its properties, what metal it was made from.

I talked with Dylan to a great extent, I was being agreeable and stuff... I dont really remember... but anyways, he finally just left. I followed him out. I was so pumped he HATED the whole thing. I thought it was pretty cool. But I wasnt sure if Dyla was disgusted with me too. I knew he hated a bunch of people, he even said that "I hate a lot of the people here" he didnt name names. I wasnt sure if I was one of them, but I didnt really care, I still thought it was cool. We walked, I was wearing a suit. and we walked toward the theatre and my manager was coming toward us. The show was over though.

I remember in the kitchen, I was about to leave but my mom started saying I should stay. Apparently she sad I should stay somewhere, encouragingly , and she was insisting it was about the kitchen or somethin. "No stay its fine" it was in a very encouraging, not negative way, I just didnt think it was what she meant.

Anyways, it got to the point where my brother said something about "Who is John Galt?" I believe. SOmething like that, and I was like yeah thats SO cool. He then told me where he found it, though I may have found it before hand too... we were in the book store and he said "in this book, ITS IN FRENCH!" he was so pumped. He said "I had to go and learn biomedical, then I read it" it was bio something he said he needed. I was thinking he just used a translator while he read the book. It turns out Godard came up with John Galt. He had a philosophy... which I cant remember unfortunatley. But in the book it showed his movies. It only went up to the end of the 60s I think, it wasnt all his movies. One was BRIGHT SIDE OF DAMNATION, in the picture, it was black and white. The back of a man and woman looking toward a nuclear bomb in the distance. there were a bunch of movies. My brother was talking a long time about how pumped he was for the french, and while he was quoting some, he was talking in a french accent, I didnt even notice at first. It sounded like he was going to start watching all Godard movies. He also mentioned the Director from earlier, who he was going to get to know as a connection. I said I wished I got to know him, but I didnt really try

I was also explaining this bit I wrote for a movie (which I had actually written right before bed) I was telling someone at work about it, without getting too into it here, its about a guy shooting himself through the head. They got kind of weirded out by it, and I went on to explain it more

So I was in a very tall hotel at some point, and everyone was packing up to leave, we had a bunch of rooms booked. There was Adrian, Myself, Daniel and someone else. I was checking on them to make sure they were almost ready to leave. We got in the elevator, for some reason I dont think we were supposed to be in the hotel. The elevator was pretty classy, there were mirrors behind us (across from the doors) and it was made of wood. There was a lady elevator worker, and she was very pretty. I recall that there were elevators even where there shouldnt be elevators... so once we used one to escape I believe
when we reached the bottom there was a car, possibly like the old honda. It had a bunch of people in it, my mom was driving I think, my Grandpa was in it, there was really only room for like 2 people so we crammed in.

At one point I was at work, talking with some guy that doesnt work there (he worked there in the dream) about meditation, he mentioned some experience that happened to him, he was transported somewhere or something. and mentioned meditation, so I was like "Wait.. what was that?" "Oh I got transported to some weird place" "HOW??" (I knew it was meditation but I wanted to be sure) "Meditation" "I knew it! I meditate too." I went on to explain real experiences Ive had with meditating (hearing people talk, being in a room with a window) We talked at this place that had three chairs, and was under some weird statue type thing. it was like a hotel resort, but still in the mall. His grandmother was there, and she talked about some stuff too.

Multiple times in the dream Shaun and Adrian would go around and talk to people fast, like Grandma when shes irritated, I guess they were proving a point or something. They would talk to me "Oh-hey-hows-it-going?-alright-bye" and do that to a bunch of people, even talked to grandma (or Auntie Julie?) like that. This was in Grandmas house. We were having a poker game or something.

Once we were headed to my old house, across the train tracks. as we drove, to our right was an industrial factory on fire, it was burning and I watched while we drove past. we arrived at our house and the trees in front were on fire. The had torches in three places (there were 2 trees, one of them had 2 torches, the other had 1) the torches burnt at the trees and left a large flame. we went inside my mom was hoping it wouldnt set the place on fire. once we reached inside I looked out, above the torches there were TVs playing something(possibly the fire?) and then the torches burnt out, and the tvs turned off. My brother offered my grandma his room so she could sleep and then "We could read and talk normally" something like that. basically it was to get her out of the way, and he didnt care if she knew. He wanted to talk with Grandpa.

**these dreams were from other nights that I just didnt write yet**

So I had an "8 1/2" dream, I was in a hot air balloon, and it tipped over, sending me and a whole bunch of other things hurling toward earth. we were very high up and I could see my hands and legs in first person as I fell. it was in full color I am positive. I wasnt worried to hit the ground because I thought I was a piece of dust, therefore it would not hurt, alas I was not, and I was myself and I hit the ground and it did hurt. I didnt wake up though, there was a guy dressed up like a gorrila (like th eguy from Justice League, he mightve had white fur though) and he fell through the ground. I had to help him out.

**another dream**

There was some sort of chase or race. Two groups of people. They both had these weird machines that would help them levitate into the air. So this machine would pump, and make a sort of field around the people to lift them all, the whole group. and then the other group used the same machine to follow. Once they reached the outer edge of the clouds, the one group (first group) kept going, while the other stopped. you could see above the clouds, and see them go on and on. a bunch of rocks fell onto the force field type thing and dispersed out above the people. and fell toward earth.

So this morning I fell back asleep, and had the coolest dream ever. It was really long, I dont know. Anyway there was like a race or something, and there were a bunch of people from m school briefly, a HUGE line of people, like 10 people x 100 rows or something. all walking down stairs. Anyway I'm not sure all that happened, it was very surreal though. There were references to a whole bunch of things:
-Star Trek
-Sonic
-Inception
-The Odyssey
-South Park

So what happened. At one point Data (from Star Trek) shaved his head, but left the hair on the side (like a priest) his head was really pointy. My cousin played the new Sonic game at some point. This TV show we were watching (it switched between us watching it, and us being in it) was like the Odyssey, at least this episode was. There were posters of Brad I believe, or posters that resembled this, as well as a sense of Adventure. By the end of the episode there was Towlie from South Park, and I was like 'oh yeah thats how it started...' (on the count of me seeing some of this episode before bed) Anyway there is one part I remember and it was crazy. So we reached the top of a mountain, and this girl said she was going on without us (to the Future, or past I believe), but if it was safe up ahead, she would come back for us. So she went to the top of the mountain, and the higher you got, the more blurry/bright everything got. the mountain became fuzzy, and dough pretty much, and to climb you had to grab into the mountain. once at the top everything became like a vortex, and she grabbed these weird lights that were hanging (the mountain was no all twisty shaped) once she grabbed one, she flew back (because the mountain was doughy, so, she grabbed it, and it started falling toward the ground, backwards) once she reached the bottom she was in the future or past, she wanted to see if her parents were there, and if the world hadnt been changed much. Well the world had been changed, it was now dark, and wall that was left were lights, emitting orangy light, and it was in an apocalyptic swamp. She turned and saw a tractor sinking into the swamp, and she turned somewhere else to see a train driving (halfway under water) toward her, the train emitted light as well, and was very smoky.

There was some sort of underground community, a real small one, and they had created these robots or something. For some reason they had a problem with what they had created, they were being terrorized or something. I brought up the point that perhaps these people were in fact robots themselves and just pretending, and ruling over the others because they thought they ad the right. There was this one robot that was alive for like 35 or 350 years, it was saying how its existence was far too long, and that it had nothing to do anymore or something. At one point me and some other people broke into the tree village place where the robots were (They lived all around where the small community was) A giant gorilla was there, it was one of the robots and it was attacking us, so we fought back, throwing bottles at it and stuff, someone had a shotgun and shot it. I got the shotgun at some point and it sometimes wouldnt reload properly, I mainly just shot at the wall and stuff, by the time I got it the place was cleared and there was no threats. There was a window I was thinking someone might get thrown out of. it was green all around, the house was made of wood logs and stuff.

Had a Lucid dream, it was pretty short unfortunately. It was super cool, I did a reality check in my dream, something I hadn't done before. So I was walking thought a door and thought I should check my clock. I checked and it read 10:09, then before I could look away it turned to 10:10, I looked away and back at it, read 10:09 again, looked away and looked back, read 2:00. I did this a few times and realized I was dreaming, but it fizzled out right away. This happened very early in the night.

I had another few dreams I believe that centered around the previous dream, one I remember was I was in my cousins basement talking with my brothers, I explained how I looked at my clock and stuff pretty much how I wrote it above.

I had a dream where I walked outside, I looked up at the skyscrapers and realized I was in New York

I was in a board room, long table with office chairs set around it. There were people I knew there, talking around the table in groups, I talked with my brothers. I explained how this location was in all my dreams (As if the other day every dream I had was located there, which they werent...) So yeah I didnt do a reality check for some reason though... ergh lol

Well yesterday I started reading Final Crisis, which is great, and I got to a part where The Flash was saying perhaps the bullet that killed this guy went back in time, which is why they cant find it. So in my dream I was helping this guy get somewhere and he got shot by a bullet that was going back in time. I think there were a few of these bullets not sure, I also remember a building exploded backwards. The building once reconstructed had a square-ish bit that didn't really match with the rest of the building which I thought odd.

I had a Morrowind type dream. This dream was in first person, some dreams I'm not sure if its third person or first person, this one was first person for sure. So I was in a helicopter I believe, it was landed and there was a guy standing on the ground, outside the helicopter. In front of us was a gate, blocking off a jungle type area. The trees were moving, something was running around in them. I started shooting my pistol because I thought whatever was in there, was going to attack us. The guy had a sniper and was shooting as well. Then a raptor jumped out, right at me, and I shot it. Then another and it was shot, I quickly asked for the guy to hand me my rifle, I reached down and grabbed it. I now had a shotgun, and more raptors were jumping out, and I was shooting them. When that was over, we went though the gate, it lead to an underground kind of place. There were a bunch of people hiding down there, I was kind of scared. This one guy wanted us to follow him, he walked off, and I went to the right. There were some chests on the wall, when I , looked at them, the lock level would appear (Just like in Morrowind) there were some kind of pliers that would lock pick the chests. The dream ended

I had another, I was in some sort of shop, there was like a nut that could open. I opened it and there were like all these old pictures, they were fake pictures from Tropic Thunder, kinda like to make it seem like it was a true story. It was a flip book at points, Robert Downy Jr. character walked in with a guitar case, opened it, then lifted the guitar that was in it, and under it there was another guitar that was made of food. I showed my mom the book because we think it's a funny movie

I had a dream or two last night.

I was at school, and the principle was going to give a speech. I was on the stage (behind the curtain so the audience couldn't see me) The speech started, I don't know what all was said, but then someone in the audience said that I should have to go and sit in the audience. The principle told me I should
I said "Well why? I'm not doing any harm here"
then the audience said I should have to go down there and sit by myself(I guess being up there was really offensive, and I thought that was cool)
"I already am sitting by myself"
They said I should have to return my bike as well
as I was walking down, I saw the bike that was there "It's not even my bike"
Then someone wheeled up the bike I used. so I took it and put it away.
This was the same dream or not, I don't know. I was looking at the pictures on the wall at the school. I was thinking some were good, but some could be better. There was a picture of my friend Brandon, I explained to him how awesome it was. He looked jolly. I think he had his arms crossed. Then he walked away, I started talking to my other friend Nathan. We started talking abut videos, he was going to make some fake trailers, I told him I had part of one made, and if he wanted to finish it he could, he had to leave, we were heading in the direction of his house, there was snow, and I lost one of my shoes. We said bye, and I went back to get my shoe. I returned to the school, and I guess there were different rooms that were Ghostbusters games for like SNES. If you stepped into a room you were just in the game, when you stepped out, you were in the hallway again. There was a voice over describing the games, I found there were good and bad things about the first and second games (I think there was a third, but it was no good) So the first game had better game play, but the second had a cool main menu screen, there was the Ghostbuster car driving around, in both games i hink there was the theme song. But the first games menu was just cubes building on each other filling in the screen. I played the first level, a few more too I think, I think at some point I tried beating the levels over again quickly so I would regain where I left off. anyways the first level I was like a tack, and I had to jump on the wall, then I changed to another character that used a rope to swing off the tack through the door or something. Thats it

I listened to music and 12 songs I recall, these are the songs, with a description of the dream
Andy Warhol
A Pittance of Time, this was played for credits of a TV show I believe
I'm Not There - Bob Dylan
Ashes to Ashes, Someone was singing along with this song, and I was thinking how weird it was
I'm Not There - Sonic Youth, I believe I heard both versions, and was thinking about the previous version while this one played
Good Morning Starshine, I was thinking how similar this song was to Good Morning Starshine (In my dream it was another song by the same group I believe, that just sounded a lot like Good Morning Starshine) This was apparently their first song like this, and it was why they made another song like it.
Blue Velvet, I wish I remembered more of this one, it was cool, I guess it was like a movie or something, and one of the characters name was Velvet or Blue Velvet, I dont know, it ended with them crying "I can still see Blue Velvet through my tears"
Simple Twist of Fate, I was thinking this was a good song, I think just the lyrics were the dream, sitting in the park etc.
Superstition, thinking about the song I guess, remembering it was in I Robot
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, This one was intricate or something. It was cool I was dancing to it, and so were a bunch of other people, like a music video or something. of the "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da"parts we would put our hands to the left of our head, then to the right, left, right etc. At some point I think I fell,and at another I jumped up on a table
La Bamba, I might have been awake during this one
The Last Farewell, This one was very neat. So there was someone humming the tune to it I guess. and they were the main characters daughter I believe. So the main character heard them,and started reciting them (I guess it was a war anthem) :

"I heard there's a wicked war ablazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag araising
Their guns on fire as we sailed into hell
I have no fear of death it brings no sorrow"

Then the main character started to say "To Hell, don't you understand, that's Hell" as he pointed to the place where the war took place, on the map. Then he left, and was walking down the street, singing the rest of the song:

"For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly"

Then there were 4 guys walking on treadmills, one was quite overweight, but they weren't actually on the treamills they were gravitated above them, and walked down to the sidewalk, they left.

This may be another dream or the same one. There was a building, some people couldn't smell, so they tried to smell the cereals. There were pits with alligators in them, with things suspended you could grab onto. one character wanted 2 others to go on on the things suspended ad he would bring them back. They did. There was an explosion and Inspector Gadget flew into the air cartoon-like. There were some boats later, one was remote controlled, and it flew onto a dock, then fell off. there was like a Bond boat chase I guess.

Not really much. I just checked to see what music played, because I was pretty sure I heard some and I did:

I Have Confidence in Me. I'm not sure if I was awake or asleep when I heard this. I remember thinking I have the vinyl record. and I was thinking someone else was singing the song I think.

and Walking Wounded. This one, the start of the song was very different than I remember (Like I think my dream changed it) I was going to ask the people who made the song if I could put it in a movie.

I had quite a few dreams, though they were mostly short.

I had one about Donkey Kong. I guess since Donkey Kong Country Returns has come out, the game developers decided to come out with another, they were going to name it Donkey Kong Country 2.5. I didn't like this idea, I thought if they were going back to the numbers, they should call it Donkey Kong Country 4, then I realized that Returns would qualify as 4, so this would be 5.

I had another where I was listening to and watching the opening to Happy Days. There were a bunch of actors I didn't realize were in it, I don't think any were real, except Henry Winkler was in it I think.

I had one where I guess I was going to the place I used to work at. I wanted my comics back (I guess I lent them) I thought it would be funny to pretend to rob them, and 'steal the comics' back. So I got some toy guns and spray painted them black. I was trying to keep them hidden, but I thought it was pretty funny so I was laughing. I went into the main area with my gun visible and I went to talk to the teller. All the customers got up and ran out (because they saw the gun) I was like "noo.. ahh this isnt a real robbery" so I went up to the teller, laughing from my joke, and said something like "Sorry, I'm not really robbing this place, I'd just like my comics back" I got them.

I had one that lasted a couple months or something.. Though I wasn't aware of the months, it would seem like only a couple hours or minutes. My friend was going out with someone, and that never worked out. So she went out with someone else, which only lasted like a few seconds, like 2 pictures I guess were taken of leaves or something, and they were only like a second apart, thats how long it lasted.. So I asked her if she wanted to go out (I wrote the question out, and she wrote the answer) she said we couldn't because we were different religions. I thought fair enough

I had another where I was showing my second oldest brother my picture I'm drawing of Giligan and the Skipper. He thought it was good I think.

I was thinking today, and for some reason started thinking of the song "Turn Turn Turn" then I remembered that was in my dream last night. So I checked my music player, sure enough, it had played last night, along with 2 other songs I remember in the order they played. I think I woke up during the first song, then drifted off during it, I remember the following 2 songs as well. I believe my dream was in black and white, maybe a war or something, I just kind of remember something like that, but nothing else other than knowing I heard the songs. They played in this order:
Let's Twist Again - Chuck Barry
Turn Turn Turn - The Byrds
Cracklin' Rosie - Neil Diamond

Also, this isn't a song I have on my music player, but it still made it into my dream. Anyways on a tape I have a version of "What a Wonderful World" sung by a woman, it's a very good version, I don't know who sings it though.. anyways in my dream I found out it was Madonna, and I was kind of disappointed. there was a music video for it, where she was singing, you could just see her face, and it was like misty ghost kind of thing, greyish.

Another dream I had was very strange. It seems almost like I had it before, or something similar quite a while ago... Anyways I guess for some reason Justin Bieber was going to be the main character of the next GTA game... and a demo was coming out, and I was going to try it. I thought it was odd in the dream. And I think it's odd now, seeings as I don't like GTA nor Justin Bieber. anyways that was it.

I had one more, where there were teachers (I guess new teachers in my old school) and they were rated by popularity. A new teacher was rated like 4800% or something, these numbers were green. There were some others with like 50% 35% whatever, green numbers too. There were also some old students, from like the 90s or something I don't know, who were also rated. and some older teachers. Very wierd

I fell asleep listening to music as normal. Some songs made it into my dreams that I recall. So I was in my house, and talking to my brother maybe a bit, I was showing him a song though (which was playing) I got through the whole song, and it was playing through a cupboard in my kitchen. The song was "As I Went Out One Morning" I was just standing there, thinking abut the song as we listened. I'm not sure If he said he liked it or not. Then the second song came on "The Simple Story" And my brother was singing this song, I was surprised how much he sounded like the actual singer(He is good with impressions in real life.). I didn't even know he heard the song before(Probably hasn't). So yeah that was it, still in the kitchen. ALSO, these songs may have made it into my dream, it seems awful familiar(I looked back at the songs that played and they rang a bell) "Eight Days a Week" and "Crocodile Rock" seems quite familiar, that order and all, but I'm not really sure,

Second dream. This one was war themed. I am not sure at the order to much of this, so I'll just list it.
-I was at my old house, and it was getting attacked. There was like a resistance in the house, and people all out front and stuff. I think at some point I had to open the door because a friendly was outside.
-Some soldier wanted a promotion, and he listed all these reasons why he should get one (He had piece of paper outlining it all). One of the reasons was that this one guy was already promoted, way long ago, and he(the guy wanting to get promoted) deserves it more.
-There was the flame-thrower from Worms: Armageddon. It worked exactly the same, but was first person.
-There was training, and there were a bunch of shelve units with different weapons backpacks etc. Once you stopped at one, you had to use it properly or whatever. At some point this place got attacked, and we failed (maybe it was a test?) so we had to try again, I dove and grabbed a shotgun properly.
-There was a camp, a Sargent or something arrived there. The soldiers were drunk (they'd been drinking anyways)
-I was walking my dog, and it seemed everything came up so I couldn't walk him. Like I couldn't climb the path or something. I arrived at the top of a hill, and a guard tower told me I had to turn around. The ground was scorched.
-there was like a boss fight at the end.

The first one, I was in some store, which had different kinds of shirts and hats. There was people from my school there on a field trip or something. I was trying on a hat,which was maybe blue, with green kid of stringy glove thing on the top. It was hard to take the hat off. I left the store for awhile and realized I hadn't taken the hat off, so I had to go and return it.

Second dream. I wish I could remember more than I do. It was a movie and/or book. It took place on a boat. There were only 2 people on this boat. One was played by Cate Blanchett, and there was one other. There was a storm at some point. And these 2 characters kissed. They had been on this ship quite awhile. I remember drawing scenes from this movie/book. I drew some eyes really well, and looking well, but some others I had trouble with. It ended up well though. It was really easy to draw well, it just worked. The story ended with someone on a boat(like a row boat) setting off to sea, because they were kicked out of their house. I had to answer some questions about this story. One was something like: "Do you believe these characters were young in the story?" I believed the person on the boat at the end was Cate Blanchett's character beforehand, and how she ended up sailing the seas. But I believed both characters were most likely the same age.

This next dream I dont remember fully, and it was a couple nights ago. All I remember was there was this guy in a gas mask asking me questions, or I was asking him questions.
