dream fragment

Dream 1 (non lucid)
Then suddenly I'm in my home country's small town I grew up, in front of our block where there's a playground and some benches. Only it's hugely busy and popular. There are sandpits and swings. One of my old friends wants to go on the swings but I think they're broken. A bunch of turkeys charge at us, and some doves and pigeons walk past.

Then we go behind the area and enter the playground in front of the next building. This time it's not as fun - it looks like an art installation but a really creepy one with cubes that look like pigeon heads. It turns out one of my friends has put my phone on selective silent or something, and I'm mad at her about it.

Suddenly the dream decides I'm pregnant with triplets (wtf) and ready to give birth NOW. They're all girls. I somehow know the dream won't end until I get to the beach where I plan to give birth. We walk past all the playgrounds and my home town and get to "Salvo". I get in the ocean and swim. Suddenly I'm next to a car and I've dropped my credit cards. Then I'm in the ocean again and I hate being pregnant I just want it to end. I tell my "husband" that they'll probably start swearing immediately bc all he does is swear. He says no he fucking doesn't.

Then it turns creepy and there's some sea monster in there. I sense the dream is ending so I huge my husband and say bye to everyone.

Dream 2 (lucid)
I find myself in a school hallways which is a common dream location for me so I become lucid. There's a red headed woman in front of me and a man. I do a reality check which fails but I know I'm in a dream anyway so I don't care. One of my goals is to reach the void so I fall backwards and affirm I'm going there.

I enter blackness. It feel much more like the void than any of the other times I've tried. However I can still somewhat feel my body so it isn't the void. I stay there for a bit as it's quite relaxing.

Dream 3 (non-lucid)
I'm setting up a TV but some kid steals my house keys and returns them shortly after, then tries to take my TV but returns it before even leaving the room, with some extra tech added to it. I'm in early high school in this dream. My dream husband pops up again and I tell him I don't want kids and never will, and he says that's okay I just want you.

Dream fragments:
- Sitting in my grandma's living room and my mum is next to me wearing a cyan jumper. She's in a bad mood. One of my old managers is there.
- I'm telling my friend about my LD and how I'm watching an LD movie.
- Cooking food IN my fridge and defrosting it at the same time.

Dream 1: Gift Shopping (1 point)


In a library/bookstore. I’m looking for gifts, possibly for my Mom and my brother. There are several floors to the library, set up like the library at my alma mater, and the floor that I am on has some books for sale. I’m also wanting to cook something – maybe make some coffee. So, I’m hoping to find a cookbook to help me. But also I’m looking for gifts. There are some interesting looking books, at least one having to do with botany I think. I go to another floor, where there are tables set up. This looks more like a study area, even though there are books lined up on shelves around the walls. I go back to the elevator (I think I was in an elevator) and maybe check out one or two more floors.

Possibly this leads into the next dream scene, in which I’m looking at electronics. There are some things having to do with an R2D2 replica, that plays music or something. You can buy the replica itself, or various cartridge-like items that attach to it to play different songs. At first I pick one up for Mom, but later I don’t know if she would really like it. I look at the price, and it’s pretty expensive. It’s in my backpack, but I take it back and hang it up on the rack again. Then I see that Mom is there next to me, and she says something.

Fragment 1: Church (0.5 point)

Going to visit a church. It might be my cousin’s church, one that I have dreamed about before. Remembering my previous dreams, I think that this might be a good opportunity to practice reality checks.

Dream 2: Boats, Plots, and Farscape Characters (4 points)

I’m at the lake with someone else – possibly my brother, and possibly Rygel from Farscape. We are thinking about going out on a small rowboat, but the waves on the lake are pretty big. I have doubts that we will be able to fight against them, and it might be kind of dangerous. Nearby, there is a large boat – more like a small ship or tugboat. We get into this one, which would probably handle the waves OK, but it isn’t ours. It seems to me that I don’t like the idea of taking this boat without permission, and anyway the bridge seems to be somewhat large and complex and might be too much for two people to handle. There is a scene in which I’m trying to back the boat into the dock/garage thing it came from.

Something about an intrigue involving foreign countries. There is a plot going on, and I’m trying to identify which countries are involved. Again, it feels like Rygel is involved. We are working together. I somehow get the names of multiple countries, and am working on deciphering the last one. My guess is that it’s China, because it has something to do with dragons.

Later, I’m in a car with the character Crais from Farscape (+ 3 points – Crais is an alien…so is Rygel, but I wasn’t as sure of his identity in the dream). He is driving, but for some reason doesn’t have full control of the vehicle. I have to press on the brake, and then I find that I have to steer the car too. We are driving around a construction site. People are painting what seems to be the steel frame of a building. They are painting it white. We bump into the frame from time to time. There is some uncertainty about being paid for this job. They might not be paying me for drive time.

I'm in a restaurant looking for a specific guy that bought be some food before and now I want to give him some food too. I'm carrying the plate when I find him just sitting down at a table. It looks like his girlfriend is also with him as I come up to the table and offer the plate to him. He declines it though, probably because of the girl sitting there, so I walk away with the food still in hand.

Fragment 1: Falling


My Aunt getting out of a car and falling. (I’m not going to claim this one for the competition, because my aunt is suffering from dementia and I don’t want to capitalize on that for points).

Dream 1:

There is a place that I’m supposed to go to. It’s up a hill some ways. I go up this hill, and come across a patch of mud. Apparently, this is where Mark Twain, or maybe Tom Sawyer, used to play in the mud. There is a statue nearby, I think. I keep on going, and start looking for an apartment. On the way I pass a bank. In this reality, people have jobs where they go to an office and watch banks through these special viewers that look like periscopes. I wonder what it would be like to have to sit there all day looking into the viewer thing, and not really being able to appreciate your surroundings.
I reach the apartment. Here, I’m supposed to pick up mail, or something.

Later, it seems that I’m shopping for a gift for someone. Maybe my grandmother. I go to a shop where they have those gift sets of various foods – the sort of thing that you could probably buy the individual things a lot cheaper and put them in a basket yourself. There is also cheese here, and my dream focuses more on the cheese. They have it cut in sections and sitting out, kind of looking like the are offering free samples. I’m not exactly sure if that’s what they are doing, but I take a couple of pieces anyway and start munching on them.

Outside in the street, there are a couple of people around that seem a little sketchy…

…I get involved with some kind of plot. I’m supposed to wear an entirely black set of clothes – everything including the underwear is black, I think. There is a nice banquet, and a suave man sort of like David Niven. This might be my boss in the plot. It’s quite spy-like, but more sinister I think. I’m supposed to change into the black clothes to do whatever it is I’m supposed to do. I go into a sort of closet-like antechamber that leads into my own room. The door is shut and it’s pitch black. But I think maybe I shouldn’t change into the clothes. I enter into my room instead, while the man stands outside wondering if I’m changed yet. Then he starts to come in. I look around for the clothes, but they have disappeared. It seems that they weren’t meant for me.


4/20/25


Fragment 1:

In an apartment or a room in a house. This might be a place where I will be staying. There are two doors in the room. We know where one of them leads, but we aren’t sure where the other one leads. Opening it, we see that it leads to the roof.


Fragment 2:

Taking a shower. There is some whitish stuff, like shaving cream or whipped cream, that gets on me while showering. By the end, I’m in my clothes, which are dry, except for some of the white stuff.

Fragment 3:

My pot of Mugwort has a couple of stalks growing in it.

Fragment 4:

At UA, in the Shrank stairwell.

Fragment 5:

Shopping in a store. There is a TV show with some sports thing on it. My mother is sitting at a table off to my right. I go browsing down the aisles, until I come to a section selling women’s underwear. Then I turn around, trying to listen to the TV as I go along.

Fragment:
I'm in Hyrule Field from Ocarina of Time. I've got some clothes hanging on a line to dry.

Fragment:
I'm watching somebody struggle to color in a CDI-style Legend of Zelda image. The fill-in tool fails to target between the lines correctly.

Recalled 3 dreams last night!

Dream one
I was in my apartment and one guy had also moved in because it was somehow legal for other people to buy part of your house without your permission and move in. I was angry that I had to be around someone constantly because my place is small, and I had to be super clean and do all the chores immediately to not get judged. I didn't even talk to him I was so mad. People were staring at me from the balcony across my place. Eventually we started chatting and became friends. It turned out he was a lyricist for Katy Perry lmao.

Dream 2
Again my apartment. I was listening to a track and made fun of it for sounding like it was made in Garageband. Then my cat spilled ketchup everywhere and scared me.

Dream 3
Some crazy man abducted me in my own apartment with his cat (which turned out to be my own cat) and told me we can only leave if we use a method of "spirulization" which involved using cones and spirals. I made my two cats a cone to drink water out of. We somehow manage to leave with a bunch of other people but he says he'll shoot us if we call the police or my dream boyfriend. It also turns out said dream boyfriend was a real estate social media influencer.

Dream fragment
I was going through people's instagrams from my old school and saw a post from 2016 even though it would've been 2011 at the time and it was of a song someone made in Spanish class.

-

All these dreams set in my apartment and I still didn't sus out I was dreaming!

4/15/25 (1 point)


Fragment 1 (0.5):

There is a cake, or a pie. Lots of whipped cream on it. People are getting pied in the face.

Fragment 2 (0.5):


My grandfather's oxygen tanks. He has been tired lately, and I see that his oxygen is not hooked up. I think maybe that's why he has been so tired.


4/16/25 (1 point)

Dream 1: Airport mall (1 point)

I’m with some people, in a sort of mall-like place. We stop somewhere, and I see that nearby is a kiosk where some people from India or another part of Asia have been taking pictures and filming things to put online. I think they are somewhat popular on the internet. I want to go over and look more closely, but there are clear plastic sheets hanging from the ceiling as a sort of partition. There are low openings in the partition, that I could duck through. I make it to the other side, seeing that there are other people there. Then I get the idea that I’m not supposed to be there. It’s like an air force base, or an airport on the other side of security. I try to find a way back to where I was without getting in trouble. I succeed in this, by going through a door nearby (which might lead into a coffee shop).

4/17/25 (17.5 points)

Fragment 1: Worms (0.5 point)

There are some large worms somewhere. I’m standing there, seeing them.

Dream 1: Christmas and the First of the 3-Step Tasks (Lucid) [17 points]


I stop in to a store. They sell a variety of items there, and I like to visit them around Christmas. I tell them so, and it seems that I have been stopping there quite frequently. I think I leave this store, and start going somewhere. I might be following some people in cars, or something. We go down towards maybe a restaurant, and are either looking for a place to park or are trying to follow a road that goes this way. It seems kind of difficult to get through. I think I turn around at some point, and find myself moving along straddling a screwdriver as though it were a flying broomstick. Remembering previous lucid dreams, I think perhaps I can fly on this. At this point I realize that I have been assuming that I am dreaming, somehow becoming spontaneously lucid without realizing it, I guess [+ 10 points]. I think about the competition, and whether or not I should fly. I think instead I should focus on the 3-step task. My first step was to “interact with a DC”. I reach out and grab some nearby woman by the shoulder and say something like “hey, how’s it going?” She turns around [+2 points for interaction, +5 points for first of 3-step task], but then I start to lose the dream (or think I’m losing it anyway).

4/18/25 (18 points)

Dream 1: Miller Hall (1 point)

Walking along a college campus from a school I went to. I come across a building that in waking life was torn down several years ago. Apparently, they haven’t torn it down yet, and are letting people take things from the building. I go inside, mostly to see the place where I had some of my first classes as a Freshman. They seem to have changed it around a little, with the classrooms opening into the main hallway area, which is pretty wide. The hallway area has pew-like benches lined up for people to sit in. I go to a room to my right, I think (where, years ago, they were giving away a lot of geologic specimens). There are a bunch of wood and glass cases – small, maybe two or three times the size of a cigar box, and opening from the top. People are carrying these out. I ask what they are doing with them, and they say they will just throw them away if nobody takes them. These look like antiques to me, and are nice looking anyway. Some of them have old books in them. I am told we can take whatever we want from the building. I think that it will be fun to “loot” the building.

Dream 2: Water (1 point)

I go down to the basement of one of the houses I used to live in. There is water coming out of a kind of pillar. I think that this might somehow be related to God, maybe. Something about an apostle in the New Testament being washed, and this is the kind of water one could be washed in. I get the feeling that one could be made holy by this water. I start splashing myself with it, and then stand under it. But then it seems that this might just have been a shower installed in the basement. My Dad is around somewhere.

Fragment 1: Hospital Visit (0.5 point)

My grandfather is in the hospital. Family is going to visit him. I can see them – my aunt, I think, and a bunch of kids – on a digital picture frame or something.

Dream 3: Snake on a leash (1 point)

Some kind of class. We go out to do things in a large valley/drained lake. They don’t want us to get too far away, but they don’t mind if students are being carried by large birds. I have one of these large birds, but as I go it becomes a snake. The snake goes pretty fast, and seems to glide sometimes. We go along the hillside and I think this might lead into another dream scene in which I’m supposed to be photographing a woman in different locations. She goes down into a sort of pool of water, and I’m supposed to stand on a hill or balcony above her and take pictures. I’m having difficulty adjusting the camera so that it will photograph her, and I get the idea that I’m not supposed to change the setup of the camera. I move closer to the edge and try to angle the camera down, but then some sort of dignitary shows up. I think there are a bunch of people too, and they all block my view. Eventually, I go down to where the woman is, making my way through a sort of gym to get there. I set up the camera there. This seems to be a really sketchy photo/film studio. People appear to be filming pornographic scenes around us. We carry on as though this is normal.

Dream 4: Climbing (1 point)

Trudging through mud, speculating on how they must make boots that enable people to walk through deep mud, since people apparently have done it. I get to the base of a steep hill/cliff, and start climbing up. Someone is dumping old cars down the hillside that I have to avoid. He seems skeptical that it is possible for someone to climb up the hill. I have a path figured out though, and when he isn’t dumping vehicles down the hill I make my way up. This appears to have been near where the Lord Jesus was crucified. The guy dumping vehicles thinks maybe that’s how He “got away”. I point out that it would be pretty difficult to take oneself off of a cross and then climb up a mountainside. Not only that, there was a crowd watching, and it seems like someone would have noticed.

Fragment 2: Lucidlet [10 points]

Walking down a hill. Something makes me think I should do a RC, and I try to count my fingers. Sure enough, I get 7 or so on my left hand. I think I become lucid here, but the dream seems to end soon after.

Fragment 3: Painting (0.5 point)

A guy with a large painting on his wall. It’s pretty nice. He himself is an artist, but he didn’t paint this. He does modify it, however. It is a painting of a large Arabic-style door. He paints another door behind it, and himself in between the doors. But the painting of himself is somewhat cartoonish. Then he makes some more alterations, and the door now looks out into a cyberpunk nightscape.

Dream 4: 20’s party (1 point)

I’m doing archaeology in a town. I find a structure, and start flagging it out.

I have obtained an invitation to a party. The invitation appears to be something like three envelopes inside a bag or a larger envelope. This gives me admittance into a party in someone’s house. The party seems to be 1920s themed, and they have a record and record player with 20s jazz music. People are dressed in 20’s attire. I go inside, but I seem to be a little early. This might give me an opportunity to trim my facial hair, so I find a bathroom nearby. There is someone else in there shaving. I find a mirror and start shaving as well. My face has a lot of beard stubble, and as I look closer it seems that I also have daffodils growing out of my face. But when I look again I mostly just look like I have some beard stubble.

Dream 5: Thrift Store Meeting (1 point)

Walking through a thrift store near where my grandmother lives. I decide to go check out the bargain section, and then head to another section. I think I’m looking for games. On the way, I see the headmaster from my old high school. I don’t know if he recognizes me, and I kind of awkwardly try to avoid him while wondering if I should get his attention. Then I hear my brother, and realize that they are together. We end up meeting. The headmaster seems to be carrying fragments of a broken mug. We get to talking, and he seems to want to direct me to a job opportunity. But it’s not a temporary job, he says. The job has to do with a married couple in the Philippines. They might want a married couple to hire, actually. My mother shows up, and we aren’t sure if the headmaster is trying to fix me up with a girl from the Philippines with this job opportunity. I’m looking at pictures of this, and there are other pictures. I think I’m hoping my mother won’t think I’m just looking at women on a dating site.

Fragment 4: Gas (0.5 point)

A man and a woman were sharing a bed (not sure they were a couple, they were just in the bed). The woman is sitting on the edge of the bed, and the
man has just woken up. Apparently he has passed gas, and it was so bad that he woke himself up and drove the woman out of bed.

Fragment 5: Spaceship (0.5 point)

Something about a spaceship. It might be under attack. I think it’s a video game, and I leave it for a while and then come back to find that the ship is OK. It had been going really fast – way too fast, I guess.

LAME, only three fragments!

Oh well, some recall is always better than none!

1. I was at Disney World again, but I can't remember anything about it.
2. I was selecting a hotel from a list (Thanks, San Diego Comic Con hotel selection process, for entering my nightmares. )
3. And finally, all of my social media accounts had been either cropped or hacked (I can't read my half-asleep handwriting) as a sabotage attempt.

Hmm. What if it was both, and someone hacked into all of my accounts simply to crop all of my pictures? :O

Here we go!

Dream #1 (Non-Lucid): I was at Walt Disney World, doing single rider and the System Formerly Known as FastPass to get on lots of rides.

Dream #2 (Fragment/Hypnagogic Imagery): My brain played to me the following lovely names, telling me that they are good names for women in stories: Chelsea, Lotion (!!!), and Dawn.

Dream #3 (Lucid): I was heading home. I arrived. I lived in a neighborhood in California, consisting of 3 houses with connected backyards. I opened the wrong garage door -- WHOOPS -- and sheepishly went back to mine, but I couldn't find it.

Then I was suddenly in Six Flags Magic Mountain. Somehow, this triggered my reality check. I was with T. but couldn't see her, which was annoying. I could only feel her presence. Anyway, I did the check, and thought "I think I'm awake". But I just kept thinking, how on earth did I randomly get teleported to Magic Mountain? T convinced me to do a reality check again and this time I realized I was dreaming.

At first, despite knowing that I was dreaming, I still kept looking for my house. Then, my fuzzy brain went NO you can do whatever you want! I completely forgot about the order of my three-step tasks and we just went to try casting a portal. This...Woke me up.

Dream #4 (Slightly NSFW, Non-Lucid): This lady was stripping in front of a group of guys in order to prove a point about sexism. I think I was just an observer; I was not in the group. I woke up shortly after this one.

I'm on a roadtrip through the desert with my Dad.
We've pulled over so I can pee on the side of the road.
There are many tiny scorpions around my feet...and I'm barefoot.
...
I'm at the hotel later and I find a big black scorpion in my pants.
It jumps out, and flips weirdly onto a dresser nearby.
A second scorpion leaps from my underwear next to the other one.

Night of Friday 4/11/25

No recall.

I had a dream last night which made me a little confused. I don't remember everything, but I do remember this fragment. For context, I go to an art academy, and there's a person in that class I don't like. Nothing against them, they're just not my type of person. I am neurodivergent, and VERY sensitive to specific sounds. Loud people can be literally painful for me sometimes; and the person I don't like is extremely eccentric and loud. VERY loud. They talk non-stop, and pisses off everyone because they keep disrupting our classes. They're also kinda mean and arrogant. Let's call them M.

---

THE DREAM:
I'm at some restaurant with my close friends and the people from art academy. M and their friend group is in the same room of course.
M is being all loud and over-the-top, which pissed me off. I keep staring at them, thinking to myself how annoying and disrespectful M is. Meanwhile, one of his friends notices I'm staring and starts staring back at me. I quickly look away and pretend nothing happened. I turn to my friend, who was next to me the whole time, and ask them to come to the bathroom with me.
We go to what's supposed to be the bathroom, which is actually just a tiny room with yellow walls, a big round mirror with a little sink under it, and a small wooden chair in front of the sink.
My friend sits down on the chair, and for some reason, I start doing her hair. While doing her hair, I vent to her about how M is bothering me. While talking to my friend, I hear M's friend's voice behind me ask: "Why do you hate M?". I turn around and stare at them for a few seconds, as I was startled. But the thing is, I don't hate M; I just don't like them. So I ask them what they mean, and tell them that I don't know what they're talking about. They give me this intense deathstare, and ask me again with a pretty monotonous voice: "Why do you hate M?", and then out of nowhere, they pull M next to them. I'm even more surprised, so it takes me again a little time to answer. I answer "I don't hate M, I don't know where you've gotten that from!". The friend tells me to prove that I don't hate M. I stay frozen for a while, trying to think of something. Then, awkwardly, I give M a hug. I was very uncomfortable, and hated it. But M seemed happy about it, which made it even worse for me. But the friend seemed content with my choice; they just nodded, and then both them and M left. I was left very confused by the interaction, just staring off into the wall thinking: "What the hell just happened?".

---

Yeah, I wouldn't call this a nightmare but it was a VERY uncomfortable and awkward dream. Very unpleasant. I hope this won't ever happen in the waking world lol. I'm never afraid of confrontation as I'm very confronting myself, but this was just terrible.

Back in Stettler. I've been given 2 new prayers. One for the kindness of Jamie's heart. And 2: to pray that she finds me. My 15 minute prayer list got longer.

Jamie 1

A dream of her standing behind a counter looking zoned out. Not responding to me.

Uh oh. That hasn't happened in a while.

Jesus

A dream of Jesus hugging my brother.


My brother is like the most anti Christian guy I know. Also why my family knows nothing about my faith. My family is toxic enough without adding extra things they could traumatize me with.

Running

I was in a field with a woman. Some guy, David, ran past us at super speed. I ran up a hill after him. The woman following behind me stopped from being tired. I kept going up but the path got way too steep. I stopped too. I think the woman was Jamie.

Jamie again

Jamie was with me outside by a building. I had very low awareness. She was trying to convince me that some tall British woman with glasses should be my girlfriend. She suggested that I write a letter to her. I reluctantly did.

Gave the letter to the woman and ran away. Me and Jamie followed the woman to a bar. Jamie convinced me to approach her again. I did with some light banter but the woman was with two other men. She then implied with a joke that maybe she would have 3 dicks in her tonight instead of two...

Okay I pretended to be into that and promptly walked away. I went outside and Jamie was there. She got in front of me. I was behind her. We were in an embrace we seemed to be having sex as we were both moaning. But I couldn't feel anything. She abruptly stopped after a minute and left.


Sigh: please no more loyalty tests. Testing in a dream is inaccurate because in a lot of dreams I lack considerable awareness. Bible says he who finds a wife finds a good thing. It says nothing about dating multiple woman or finding a girlfriend . Jesus already called on me to think of Jamie as exactly how I would a wife. Even though it hasn't happened yet. So that's the position I'm in and I'm not backing down.

Jamie 3

I was in a fast food restaurant. Jamie was working the counter. I was looking at the menu when a woman from the group behind me went around me and went to where Jamie was standing and tried to order. Jamie scolded the woman and said to wait in line until I had ordered.

I was lucid though it wasn't fully a dream. I think I was actually halfway awake but sleepy enough to still hold onto a dream-like state. I was only a passive observer and could feel quite clearly my real body laying in bed. I was having that genre of dream with Marcus where we are flying through space talking showing me different anomalies and the like.

I became lucid and I asked him, mostly just for fun, what the solution to the N-body problem was without iterating through it.

He showed some complicated mathematical equations and he explained that it requires "multidimensional recursive mathematics". The basic idea was you use an equation that takes the average of the mass and position of all bodies except one and treat that as a common barycenter, and then calculate the gravitational interaction for those two bodies using the standard 2-body formula. But then you must put the equation inside of itself and do that for all subsequent bodies effectively creating an infinite recursion loop since you need to know the equation's solution before you have solved it in order to solve it correctly. He explains that to the 'Aliens from Arrival' it's a high school math problem because they can perceive time non-linearly and the equation/branch of mathematics to solve it hasn't been discovered by humanity because you need a certain type of advanced quantum computer to do it.

He brings me to a place where there are three planets, a red mars like one, a gray mercury like one and a white icy one all gravitationally interacting with each other. He connects the red and gray one with a HUD line showing their barycenter and shows the solution and a bunch of complicated equations for the white icy planet. Interestingly the HUD is purple and it looks like my dream HUD/overlays not his.

I realized I had asked the question in jest but predictably, Marcus had given me a serious answer, and I tried to remember as much as I could about his explanation because it was interesting, even though in all honestly its probably not useful.

The dream carried on for awhile after that though it turned more into waking and actively guided thoughts and sleepy daydreaming after that.

Getting back into the flow of dream journalling, I'm reminded just how much friction there is before you actually decide to write the dream. I have the memory of recalling more, but this is all I managed to get down this morning.

I was in school, drawing, when my old principal walked in the room. He danced around it for a second, but eventually told me that I was allowed to doodle since I had a good record. My classmates were not a fan of this development, but they had little say in the matter.

Later on, in a church-like room, I walked up to a vacant piano and started playing jazz (a genre I don't play iwl). A family-friend of mine played drums in the background to accompany me. My mind now clued me into the fact that I never learned how to play this, and I was dimly aware of the unlikelihood of me hitting harmonic chords every time. I tried to move my LH to play some random keys too, but no signs of discordant music. The music was pleasant. After I finished, the same principal came up to congratulate me and ushered me back to a seat.

Later on, I was in this convenience store dining hall esque area. I knew somehow that this was a secret room of the school. The dining hall has a fridge that I walk up to. Inside the fridge is a stainless steel artifice, circular in shape, made from several components. I knew it to be a heater, and tried to jerry-rig it for some reason, but the moment I tried it, brilliant flashes of yellow electricity shot through the room.

And that's all I wrote.

Pretty much forget them all as soon as the next dream started, didn't even have time to write them down, but I will try to get some words down.
1. Walking, somewhere. It was hazy, like everything was obscured by fog. Or like i was in an ocean.

My alarm went off about here, usually set for 2-3 ish hours into my sleep. Good for waking me up in the night and gaining awareness.

2. I was at a supermarket, buying groceries. Spegepølse 9kr. Mørbrad skiver 8kr. Great prices, looked delicious.
3. I think I was playing a game. A military shooter, very difficult but enjoyable.
4-5. No clue, I just know I had them.

Pretty vague dreams and fragments of memories from them.
