    Let's see how my dreams compare to others, shall we?

    One entry per day, of all the dreams I can remember for that night. I will record them with as much detail as I can (without being hilariously overdone, i.e. "My shirt was blue with a paisley pattern on it).

    Regular text like this is inside the dream, non-lucid.
    Italicized text is outside, waking commentary.
    Red text is for when I'm lucid (when I finally get to that point...).

    1. Day 2 - The Play

      This is my second actual recorded dream. It's already more detailed than my previous one, thanks to some help from some dream recall topics in the forums.

      I was in a small theater watching a play of some sort, and then a scene came up I was supposed to play. I got up, and got in costume (a suit jacket and hat) and began to dance around with the other actors. It was directed by my high school technical theater teacher, Ms. C. The actors were supposed to sing, but no one knew the lines, so we just kind of hummed along with the music, guessing where we could. When the scene ended, there was applause, and the room got bigger and a movie started.

      When it finished, I left, got in my car, and began to drive. I wasn't going anywhere in particular, but when I tried to turn around, I accidentally turned into the courtyard of some fancy building, and couldn't get out. I drove around for a bit and couldn't find a way out still, so I got out of my car and tried to get out using the escalators. When I got back to my car, it had turned into a briefcase, and I carried it up one of the escalators. I don't remember anything else.

      I think it might also be noteworthy that I woke up quite a few times this night. I think I may have already done some lucid things but couldn't hold on to them or at least remember them. That first one's the more likely of the two options. It's more likely that I was just waking up for no reason though.
    2. Day 1 - First Recorded Dream

      by , 04-14-2011 at 08:08 PM (The Sane Asylum)
      I meant to post this one the previous day, but I got distracted by some miscellaneous chore and forgot. Here it is now.

      I was driving around my childhood neighborhood or a similar one, burning time. I think there were two other people in the back seat of the car. I vaguely recall wanting to buy or find something. As I looked around, I saw something interesting in someone's yard (it was in an area similar to the front lawn of my old house) and I went to check it out. As I continued looking, I noticed a spiderweb, and then more webs began appearing. There were some spiders of varying sizes at this point, most smaller than a standard index card, but there was one in the middle about the size of my foot. Then something changed it it became Super Mario-esque.

      It's a little vague, but I'm literally just now starting to record my dreams. Hope this works!
    3. Previous Dreams I Remember

      Okay, I'm pretty new to this site, so I'm just gonna document some of the bits of dreams I can remember.

      I remember having one where I was a viking. I don't remember anything besides the badass action.

      I had another dream that was Legend of Zelda-esque, like a mashup of Majora's Mask and whatever else I concocted. I went around helping people in town, and I finally went to a dungeon to fight a boss. I walked through it pretty easily and at the end I found this sword that was nothing but a poorly wrapped handle and a beat up blade. When I grabbed it, it felt incredibly light, and then I went to fight the boss. He was this massive spiked roly-poly thing, and he started attacking me. When I first swung the sword at him, it turned into this amazing, shining blade with an incredibly elaborate hilt made of gold and set with all sorts of rubies and emeralds. After a few hits with the blade, he turned into some guy who was reminiscent of Ganondorf, but bigger. I killed him with the sword and promptly woke up.

      There's a dream I had when I was probably about four or five years old. It was short, and it was this wolf-man thing chasing me up a hill. There was a shed at the top, and I thought I would be safe in it, so I hid inside it. Then, when I turned around, he was right there behind me. I woke up shortly after.

      My favorite of these (and one that actually inspired a fantasy project) is one where I had these red tattoo things on my arms, and when I touched them, they allowed me to sprout wings so I could fly around. I don't remember much besides the actual flying, but it was incredible.
