dream fragment

Didn't sleep too well last night. As it would turn out, I had a pretty good 2 hour nap late into the evening, so come bed time later that night, I really wasn't all that tired. Therefore, the night was spent sort of sleeping but frequently waking up, much to my dismay. Luckily enough, I was able to recall multiple dreams, but on the downside, they're all basically fragments. Here they are anyways:
I was eating at Olive Garden, when all around me the customers and waiters and waitresses all started going crazy, dancing around like lunatics, throwing things at each other. I huddled up further into my booth and continued to enjoy my breadsticks. Clearly my dream self has important priorities!
I was in this huge house with a lot of my family as well as complete and total strangers. The front side of the house was open to the outside street, where multiple houses alongside it were selling goods. Not much of note here.
I was in a small room that looked like something out of Homestuck, and on the wall, projected, was a cool looking animation of David Strider and Jade Harley. This fragment may have been a part of the same house dream just before it. Funny I had Homestuck appear here, as I've not been into it in a couple of years now.
I was on an alien world, and everything was blowing up. ......
My ex and I entered into a contract of sorts, and we were living together and going about our day-to-day pretty happily. Still learning to get into the habit of reality checking when she's involved, as she's basically the biggest dream sign I have.

After going to bed with barely any food or water during the day I had fragmented dreams of thirst before waking up hot and thirsty. There is a fridge in the living room of my dad's house and I remember drinking lots of orange juice. Mom is up and I feel it's around 3 AM. In the cul de sac oustside, there is some structure where I am drinking chocolate milk (unclear but mostly certain. My sister is there as well. I think my family was there as the night marked the first one back in college.

Met a man who was wearing a suit and a rainbow afro. Was a vivid dream but no lucid because I was a bit lax and impatient with clearing my mind. Nor was I fully relaxed as I should have been.

Will try again during the next nap.

Since starting back in my lucid dreaming practices a couple of weeks back, I've recalled quite a few dreams, almost one every night, barring a few days, but I've yet to put any of those in here. With that being said, here's this morning's, in which I recalled two pretty sparse fragments and one non lucid dream.
My dad was insistently questioning me about shower curtains. Literally all I've got on this one. What could it mean? Are the shower curtains symbolic of the walls we put up around ourselves? 6deep8me.
I was in a very ritzy looking cafe, enjoying a cup of coffee and browsing my phone, looking at various pictures of a girl I thought was cute. Again, just a fragment. Unlike the strange nature of that first fragment, however, this dream had a nice, fluffy, happy feeling to it. Now, for the actual full non-lucid:
I was in some sort of ruins, and could see a sort of heads up display that looked like No Man's Sky's HUD. Lately, it seems like NMS has worked its way into my dreams in subtle ways. I was exploring these ruins on some sort of vague quest, gathering up materials and items. Eventually I found my way into a big building, which looked like something straight out of the game The Witness. It even had a similar puzzle inside of it that I was required to solve. Floating above the ground was a chrome-colored monolith with a red tree insignia on it. Touching the monolith made it dive into the ground, and several huge, red trees sprouted up around me. A river of orange-ish colored water began flowing between the crevices in the floor. How would I solve this puzzle? Unfortunately you get the cliffhanger that never ends on this one, as that's all I can remember.

It was midnight. I was watching TV, there was a movie about a girl that died and returned as a ghost, then tried to reclaim her lost life. It was really interesting, I couldn't stop watching it.

TDM GUN GAME

My Father was playing Gun Game on Black Ops 3, the order of the weapons was different. After my Dad finishes his match I go on the Xbox One and play.
I find out this is a Team Death Match version of Gun Game.

Had some other dreams on the tip of my tongue but I forgot.

Mission

Me and the other survivors were on a roof of a building, talking to some guys in CIA clothing about a mission. A guy asks "how many of you are there?"
This girl replies "12."
The CIA guy says "But there is only 12 of you."
Some guy replies "She graduated early."
Then we run into the building, it looks like a giant maze. The Mission you cannot get caught, this is my first attempt.
A Guard saw me, so I ran at him at broke his neck. Then I grab another guard as a body shield for some reason he isn't yelling for help. A Third Guard saw me so GAME OVER.
I respawn and get caught by the first guard this time without attacking him.
My Third Attempt: I get past the First Bodyguard and use Second Bodyguard as a bodyshield. That dream ended there.

Easter Egg

Me and 3 friends were doing some easteregg at this waterpark like map. We would have to go down water/normal slides, which each had some animal in the water slide. One had birds, one had Spiders and one had maggots.
After that we respawn at the beginning of the map, and we got one hour for meltdown. The map starts to break apart, green ooze which is probably deadly coming out of the ground, weird things come out of the ground that look like Valkyrie Drones from Gorod Krovi.
This one girl says "I'm out." she leaves so it's up for me and my 2 other friends to finish it which I'm assuming we fail because this next dream scene.
We go up the stairs, you can see things on the door which are silhouettes of animals which I remember two of them: Cat and Bird.
Once we reached upstairs we were in a music classroom, it looked like the one I had from my Elementary School and Middle School, combined. I talk to two of the three friends that we attempted the easter egg, I tell them "we should try it another time." I think the Easter Egg of that Waterpark map is a Four-man one.

Crazy Lady

I was in a Crazy Lady's house, she wouldn't let me leave.

AND HIS NAME WAS-

Homer and Marge Simpson was driving, they were listening to a song which was a Young Woman singing "John Cena~" over and over. That was the whole song, and dream that dream was 20 minutes long.

Weird dreams last night, I guess my streak of remembering dreams broke. See you tomorrow (maybe)

fragment 1: I'm wandering around the same racquet club with a friend; can't recall what we were doing.

fragment 2: I'm still there, doing a closing shift. I am outside pool-side seemingly walking between the two sides of the building and there is a (platinum blonde) guy who is trying to salesman me some technique about driving. He keeps claiming I'll be committed once he adds the next step (reverse of me asking caption head to write for a show?). I go around thinking about checking the towels as I had not done any loads in a while. I remember being in an unfamilar landscape-esque area at this point.

fragment 3: I'm back on the actual property and there seem to be a bunch of people I'm with, including the same guy from earlier. I keep doing awkward things but I am only certain of knocking over coffee cups (I knocked one over at band that day). The walkway above the lower fitness room is divided into two stories with the upper one having a sharp cutoff. I knock over a coffee cup at this area and nearly splash someone I used to know from band below.

fragment 4: I am in a nearby hallway and the upper fitness room has been replaced by an elevator. I see the near-victim from earlier and am still with the same group (nearly instantaneous transition, almost not a fragment). I can't clearly recall her reaction although I believe it was an expression that she used to do commonly, similar to superficial shock.

fragment 5: I'm then with I believe a different group and there is a big, dangerous snake we are trying to get out of the building. Prior to it retaliating I can't remeber much although it must have been near the kid's area and racquetball courts as I easily recall it striking near the exit there. we had been quickly kicking it in spurts to avoid any danger. We started to get cocky and feel a sense of comfort. Then it was near the doorway and the girl's turn to kick it. I got a bad feeling and the snake lunged. I don't think it made contact but then suddenly it was outside near me. I don't remember kicking at it but suddenly it was in my hands albeit at a distance. It lunged at me and was about 4 inches from my chest. I thought "fuck this" and woke myself up (improved lucidity/control?)

dream 2 (after about 3 hours of sleep)

fragment 1: I am at the 6-lane pool not far from where I had been before the unplanned WBTB. I remember there being a theme of gaming somehow (probably mid-dream recall). An instructor from band is there and he is my boss.

fragment 2: there are structures in the bark near the pool scoop. I have to assemble these structures outside the bark (uncertain recall) and find the quotes describing the structures in the bark (definite). I only remember being in one spot despite the structures being spread out. I recall not being able to see the words in the random bark patterns in this one spot.

fragment 3: another very slight transition. there are more people now (uncertain of number before, maybe not many) and they are jumping into the nearby river via two methods. There is an edge that I hypothesize is formed from a path being where the tool shed behind the pool was. all i can see is the distant edge. I also see people jumping off the tops of the nearby buildings. Despite a feeling of apprehension and never recalling seeing anybody surface I believe these jumpers were safe. Perhaps because their jumps were more look-at-this than suicidal. I do recall some worry from adults nearby. The jumpers seem to all be guys of late HS-early college age although I only recall a few. Back to the bark, for some reason I have to get gloves so I head to the bathroom which seems to be where the aerobics room is. the gloves had the look of latex gloves and smell/feel of sanitary wipes, both tools I had used IWL at work. At one point the room was crowded. I believe around now there were many people outside although that is also unclear. I also remember being in what seemed like the aerobics room but I had an awareness it was on the other side of the club (abstract space, doesn't logically fit like the 2-story walkway or elevator might). there were many people there. Back to whatever I needed the gloves for, I remember making 1 or 2 trips (the instructor is still here; hard to recall what he was talking to me but it was more friendly than boss-like. knowing his authority seemed to be more of an abstract intrinisc knowledge as most of his talking was this way, somewhat similar to how he talked to me at band despite being the lead instructor) and then the final trip I got a lot of extras. I was dissembling the bunch and walking outside while stuffing the spares into my pockets (another work practice although I don't recall ever getting that many extras). the dream ended in what I now realize as the same spot the last dream did.

Fragment 1: I keep trying to catch up to this girl. It's important that she knows I'm like her. I finally catch up to her and tell her that I'm the same, that I'm of the blood too. She smirks and says, "Did you think we don't already know?".

Fragment 2: I'm in Grandma's bathroom. The door is cracked open slightly so that I can see my older sister still, but I'm able to keep away from her. She keeps threatening me.

Fragment 3: I'm trying to roll a giant bowling ball home. It's really heavy and hard to control. As I pass a boy, I grab onto him and have him help me roll it home.

I’m in an apartment complex resembling a retirement home. There was other business’s within the building though like a real estate agency and other various offices. I couldn’t seem to find my grandparents apartment. Eventually I found my wife and she showed me the way to get to their apartment. At some point I left and a family friend Jenny showed me the way to the apartment. After sitting in the apartment for a while I had to move our two vehicles and park them in the garage. I parked the white focus but do not recall where as I was then next to the Orange escape and began to park that. I drove down a road bobbing in and out of my lane as it was blocked by parked cars. I drove the SUV into the complex and was driving down the hallways and found my way to some double doors and at this point I was no longer driving but looking for a spot I could pull the car through and get it back outside.

I saw some videos in an apartment with my aunt and didn’t recognize the footage as it was me when I was younger in Meijer store. I was with a chef and we were cutting up watermelons. The dream shifted and I was in the store and there was a bunch of kids checking out buying the watermelon. One said Excellent, another was Instant Cash, another said well done. I began shopping with an older individual who seemed familiar but I do not know who they were. They began looking for furniture and sweater vests. The furniture was wrapped up like a tent at a store.

I’m on a couch inside a random apartment again. I’m sitting on the couch cuddling with 2 individuals like they are trying to sleep on my shoulders as I nuzzled my head up against one of them and just enjoyed the moment. One I seemed to recognize as a girl named Jess the other I am unaware of who it was but they appear to be male.

I am at a county fair with a rollercoaster that spins around in a circle blasting music. The people running the ride seemed to not realize how long they had the ride going and just stopped the ride. A lot of kids got out and sat on the ground and looked like they were about to puke. I kept moving and the scene shifted and I was not at a soccer game. I am walking near the stands and notice some people I know. I noticed a German exchange student Anna was there. I accidently bumped into a kid and almost broke his sunglasses.

I’m now playing a game but I am in the game. It resembles a driving game that we made our own carts and had to drive around. Another individual and I made Dildo looking carts that were standing straight up. It was a horrible idea as when we hit some ramps the cart would bend and wobble throwing the balance all off. One individual almost made it to the end but got stuck and couldn’t finish the game.

I’m inside an apartment or house and a party appeared to have just ended. I was going around trying to pick up various toys that were mine and on the ground. I picked them up and put them into a box. I was upset at myself for leaving them out for people to use because somebody could have easily broken them.

I’m at a farm and I save a baby deer and put it into a pen. Then I found a donkey and we put it in a pen. We came across another donkey slightly smaller than the last. Put it in the same pen but they didn’t get along and started kicking each other. So we moved the smaller one to a barn that had windows but nothing in the window. There was also a random cow in the barn and the two seemed to get along fine.

I am looking up at the night sky and I see 5 moons. 1 is the real moon and its a lot bigger than the others the small ones were about 1/4th the size. The 4 small moons blow up and look like a firework as jets of red streaks fill the sky as they go flying by like they were an asteroid exploding in the atmosphere and burning up.

Another dream at Six Flags, at least, I assume it was Six Flags, as that's what it looked like: in fact I've been at this exact location in my dreams before. I become lucid and wander around, trying to find some stuff. There's a Christmas themed area. But that quickly bores me.

I find my father (for some reason) and we walk in the park, then we appear at a place that looks suspiciously like a plaza we live by. Eventually it turns into the plaza.

Here are some fragments I remember (all lucid):

I was trying to turn a glass of water upside-down and see if it would remain in the glass just for fun. It didn't. I think my mom complained.

Biting my brother's finger off (????).

I lost my laptop at a restaurant (not sure if it was lucid there, actually).

Trying to go through the mirrors in our living room and failing.

Conclusion: I failed at a lot of things, meaning I have a lot to learn, but hey, that's the process.

I remember I was being abducted by an alien kid but then our spaceship was attacked and we started floating in space in something that looked like a giant glove...?

Then as I slipped out the glove and started floating in space, I realisd I was dreaming, because if I were really in space I'd be dead, not breathing, so I decided to float around some more but then I woke up.....or so I thought.

I was back at my home which I 'woke up' in, but the scenary outside my window looked completely different, making me realise I was dreaming again. I decided to change my dream scape to Undertale and then everything became 2D. (It was very weird. that's all I can say, I really can't put it into words.) There, I saw Sans who was about to get killed by Chara, but then I stepped in and took the blow for him and I woke up.....but I didn't.

I was once again back at my home, this time when I 'woke up' I instantly knew I was dreaming again, I don't know why. Then I started messing around with the dreamscape and tried to make Sans appear infront of me, I tried expecting him in the next room, and it worked except he didn't look accurate. So, I recalled one of the tutoriels on DV about summoning dream characters, so I told the dream character, "Ok, I'm gonna turn around and when I turn again, I want you to look exactly like Sans."

So, I turned around and when I turned back, the dream character looked a bit better, but I wasn't satisfied yet. so I did the same process again, but when I turned and faced him again, he looked completely different and demonic.

The dream character was angry, "You think I'm some toy for you to play with?!" At first I was intimidated by the creature but since I knew it was all a dream, I just smirked, "This is my dream. It doesn't matter whether you abide by my wishes or not. You will fade away at the end of them all."

Then, I recieved an interesting answer, "That's what you think." Then the dream ended...

I'm standing in my living room, close to the kitchen. My older sister and niece arrive and start looking around the kitchen. Suddenly my niece announces that she thinks she has lice. I immediately back up and freak out.

I make my way onto an unfamilar tennis court to talk to an instructor I knew from band (he's wearing a sun hat). I'm about to talk about the Bluecoats 2013 line when a confident-looking blonde guy about 10 feet away (wearing a Bluecoats uniform) loudly proclaims "Blue Kinghts" (seemingly to me and the instructor rather than the air). I am somewhat taken aback as I was in the middle of a sentence.

I'm with some DC I feel like I know (although he is unfamilar) and he is introducing me to 2 trainers. We are outside the aerobics room of a gym I know except that the room is somehow now racquetball courts. They set up an appointment for me for the next day late in the morning (time not remembered). Then things somehow change and it is changed to 6PM (it is 5 something PM currently). All the while I am standing there in a short latex-white swimsuit with a towel and have a feeling of "hurry it up please". realizing I have little time to do my swim (I got tired of swimming IWL?) I walk briskly over to the pool. Can't remember if I took the senseless long way or the logical way but I end up at one of the last two lanes (I believe the second-to-last). I jump in (dive would imply practiced grace) and for some reason decide to swim near the bottom (deeper than IWL). I am somewhat frightened for a bit as gravity keeps me down once I try to come up. I fight and eventually win. The swim is a blank until the end when some people outside the pool are messing with me and either throwing on the pool cover or messing with the laneline. I believe it was the laneline but later it is separated so I am confused. Near its separation, it is slightly tangled and two people mess with it on each end. I did not look who was near me but at the far side is the percussion caption head from band. I remember thinking something like "figure it out" a few seconds before the line is divided. I get out of the pool and note that it is nearly 6. I rush over to my plastic plate dinner of spicy cornbread (?) and chicken but then notice it is a few minutes after 6 (although it has been seconds). I rush through part of the corn bread (most of the meal) and don't touch the chicken. I wake up later.

Fragment 1: I'm in the RV with Grandpa and a few other family members. As Grandpa drives down the driveway and out of the gate, I say something to him and the RV starts to tilt horribly to the right. I freak out at first, but it just keeps tilting and finally hits the ground on it's side.

Fragment 2: I'm waiting at Grandma's gate with Julie. It's dark outside. A man is walking down the driveway to us. Once he get to us he puts the unlocked lock on the fence and attaches a large camera right next to the lock. I ask him about the camera but he doesn't answer. I already know that it belongs to Grandpa.

Fragment 3: I dreamed about a school. High school.
