dream fragment

What I lacked last night in lucids, I made up for in real life with some home-made soft goat cheese (I'll post pics in the food thread).


Anyhow, some fragments:

1. I heard a kitten cry and it was raining outside. It was a roughly 4 month old black kitten, with a collar and a tag, but the tag said "UPC" or "CBS" or some nonsense. I decided to keep him until I could find the owners. He was really sweet and cuddly to me, but an ornery little shit to everyone else.

2. Some folks went on a trek in the jungle to study bears. Everyone got to leave with their own baby black bear. I told the jungle trek leader that I felt this was a really bad idea. He said don't worry, about the time folks couldn't handle their bear, a helicopter would be sent for each one. I didn't think that was very funny at all.

3. A girl was being held captive by the French woman from LOST near that same jungle. Oh yeah, there was the same river in both dreams. Anyway, the girl had a key to her handcuffs hidden inside a half an avocado she was eating. She made it to the river and saw the french woman. It seems like the dream looped back to the one with the bears, but I'm not sure.


GREEN is supposed to be a new reality check for me, hence all the green bold words. Just FYI.

My mom has packed up her bags and she's putting them into an old, sleek pewter station wagon. I watch her back out of the driveway and I wave awkwardly, a signal she might have took to mean hold on, but she didn't stop. Then she is back in the house with me and I'm ask her where and why she's going. She said she won a trip to Cancun from Kal on the radio. I quickly look up Kal and the Cancun prize on the web and couldn't find anything.

Then the whole house turns into a large electronic palace with giant domed screens for walls. My computer becomes my control pad and I pick the scene for the house to bring alive. There's a scene with people breaking a bunch of ceramic dishes, there's a whirlpool scene. My mom has to run through all these tests which try to capture her but she always breaks free.

She tries explaining that she just needs to escape and she holds up a small, useless objects. She says I need to get away from shit like this - I think it's a plastic crawfish in her hand. I don't believe her excuse and say that's it's the responsibility she's running away from.

Dream One (Fragment): I can remember seeing Skylanders stickers and stuff, and that's about it. Pretty sure I had this dream because we spent the better part of 4 hours going from store to store last night trying to get my kids the last 5 figures they needed to complete their collection. We got lucky and found a few in Walmart and then found the last 2 online at normal prices (I refuse to pay scalper prices!).

Dream Two: I'm walking through an old Victorian house. Everything is in greys and purples, and even the furniture looks old, so everything is super creepy. A girl with long beautiful anime like blond hair walks in. Her hair goes down to her knees and billows like normal hair wouldn't. She makes a fist, but sticks out her pointer and middle finger, then does a fancy flourish with them that involves making a circle and snapping her fingers and saying some word that starts with an I, but I can't remember now what that word was. When she does, the room glows faintly green and her fingers glow greenish as if she drew some of the green energy out of the room and to her. Then a ghost like creature appears (not human, looked more like some random anime Yokai ) and she points to me with her fingers. When she motions to me, the monster starts flying my way. Afraid it will attack me I open the closest door and find myself standing in an old street, similar to the alleys in "From Hell". I see a carriage drive by quickly but ignoring me. Suddenly I think to copy the girls movements and try to summon a ghost yokai of my own to fight back with. I say the word and twist my fingers, but I can't figure out how to snap both fingers at once so I skip that part. A ghost yokai comes out of the ally and flies through me to attack the creature that was just coming up behind me. The two yokai merge and become one, then fade away because their energy is unstable fused. They both want to go after different targets after all. Then, a man in a suit and a top hat with long hair appears, he seems to have come from the front door of the house while I was standing in the side door. He tips his hat at us, and the other girl runs away. He turns to me and asked if I am the one who summoned the creature in the alley. I nod, and tells me I did the spell wrong, but still managed to call a creature strong enough to protect me, that was impressive. I tell him I didn't know what I was doing, I was just copying the other girl when she attacked me, and he tells me that is "Most interesting" then wanders off out of the house, down the street the way the horse and carriage had gone earlier. I follow him, scared to be alone with all these monsters around, but since I don't know him I tail behind him about 20 feet or so. He doesn't seem to notice me at first, but then we are standing in front of a castle, and he asks without even turning around, "Well, will you come in then?" as if he knew I was there the whole time and choose to ignore me. I nod, scared to stand outside by myself, and I follow him inside really so the doors can't close before I make it safely inside. Once inside, everything has a sad and creepy vibe to it. Similar to the house, only instead of being scary, it was just depressing. The man walks into a room, not even bothering to turn on a light, and points to a dresser. He asks me if I can feel anything in the dresser. I'm confused, so he demonstrates the summoning technique and the bed glows green. I try the technique again, this time though I can't even do the flourish so I just say the word and hold my two fingers out. The dresser in front of me glows purple, and has sad and apathetic smiley faces all over it ( ) I'm confused, I thought it was supposed to glow green! I tell the guy as much and that I've never seen things glow purple before, and he tells me neither has he, "Yet here this dresser does. Fascinating, yes?" I nod unable to really form any words at the moment. Then there's a crying man walking in from the hall way, and I think he looks like a prince. He's crying, and asks the man if he has found his sister yet. The man smiles, and says that he is making progress, but the mans sisters reincarnation would not remember him regardless. And that's all I can remember, I know the dream went on, and I woke up thinking I was the sisters reincarnation, but I can not recall the later events

Dream Three (Fragment): I was driving on the interstate and needed to get off at an exit that's been closed for years, but in the dream it was open! I got off the exit just to get trapped in road work (they really are repairing that bridge at least) There wasn't really much detail to go into.

Dream Four: I dreamed that my husband calls me to move my car so he can park his car first in the driveway (we drive my car almost everyday, and his maybe once a week, so we keep his parked up front to avoid playing musical cars every time we have to go somewhere!) I walk outside, and notice I'm in sleep clothes (a tank top and a pair of my husbands boxers) I'm not comfortable walking outside without a bra on because I know some of my adult neighbors are pervs (and not quiet about it either), and there are some teenagers in the neighborhood that always make me uncomfortable. (The kids in the neighborhood used to ask if my dad would let me come out and play, until they found out that what they thought was my dad was really my husband, lol. Then they'd forget that fact and ask again two days later for the first couple months we lived here ) Anyways, my husband is sitting in his car impatiently, so I suck it up and just go move the car. I'm completely covered so it's not that big a deal, I know I'm just making it one. I notice as I'm moving the car there's an old man and a teenage boy moving boxes into a house that's been for sale for ages. I park the car and go inside, but my husband stays outside for who knows what reason. I decide to put some actual clothes on instead of running around in my tank. So for some dumb reason I walk into the kitchen and start taking off my boxers thinking I'm going to put the dirty clothes in the hamper, then go to the bedroom naked. As soon as I get my boxers off, just as I'm grabbing the bottom of my tank, the front door opens! The new teenager is walking into my house uninvited! One of the kids who've been around here since we moved in is following him and he's yelling at him, "Dude! You can't just walk in uninvited!" I'm in complete shock, standing there half naked, for half a second I don't know what to do, but then I dash off to the back of the house and my bedroom and close the door! I change so quickly I can't even remember how I changed or what I put on. Then my bedroom door opens and it's the new kid again. I flip out on him, ask him what his freaking problem is and hasn't he ever heard of fucking privacy?! Then the other kid is in the living room and he shouts to the back, "I tried to stop him! But there is no way I'm going back there knowing your naked!" I thank him for at least having some freaking manners then tell them if they don't get the hell out of my house I'm going to call my husband in here to kick both their asses! They leave when I threaten this, but the thought of my husband kicking anyone's ass is pretty funny. He's nerd to the core, and probably couldn't hurt a fly, lol. I do something in the house in the dream, but can't remember what it is, then I realize my husband still hasn't come inside yet and it's been forever since he got home! I walk outside, and he's sitting in the street chatting with the kids in the neighborhood (the teenagers and the younger kids) I go out to find out what's taking so long, and it turns out they're talking about video games from when I was younger. He asks me if I can give the kids better gaming advice since he was a computer nerd not a gamer. The dream ends with me trying to tell the kids how to beat some boss or something in Majora's Mask. I'm sure this whole dream was sparked by the fact that my husband left his phone in the car last night. When he realized it he was already in his boxers, and I was wearing a nightgown. It was clingy and low cut, but it covered everything and it was like midnight, so I sucked it up and went out to find his phone instead of him going out in his underwear. Turns out the phone was hidden in a compartment I didn't even know my car had, so I spent a good five minutes outside in my nightie trying to find his stupid phone. None of the lights were on in the neighbors houses so I knew everyone was in bed asleep, but I couldn't help feeling like I was naked in public anyways, lol. This dream just rehashed those feelings to make it even more awkward.

Dream ??? (fragment): Just remembered this, it's not in my notes so I'm not sure if it's a forgotten part of another dream or a dream all in it's self, but I can recall being in a parking deck type structure. The whole thing was metal and concrete, but there were no cars, just ramps and speed bumps. I was looking for someone, it felt like a video game where I was clearing out one room at a time of bad guys. The next room was going to have a big bad monster boss in it, and I needed some help from another player to fight it. The other player was hiding underneath one of the parking deck ramps. I was yelling at him that we needed to get a move on, but he was scared and wanted to "prepare". I kept thinking that there was no way to prepare past what we'd already prepared, he was just stalling for time and I was impatient.

I unfortunately remembered one detail of my dream last night, in my state of altered consciousness: I bleached my hair blonde.

If only I could remember if it looked good or not...

Dream fragment about ghosts following me. Many ghosts, maybe 5-10. The mood was a bit scary but calm and quiet. The atmosphere was dark and old.

I am with my mom and some other close friends in a large mall with many levels. The bottom level is grand and people are selling bedroom furniture at their posts which are models of lavish and comfy beds. I come down the stairs and meander around until I find people quickly going through boarding gates. They show there tickets and are rushed on board to a vessel which I know to be a ship. I here the final departure call for one ship and I ask if they have any room on board for me and they say no. I ask another ship and she starts to find space for me and tells me they will be traveling to all these exotic islands. I ran away excited to go and I start telling all my family and friends but then the ship leaves without me.

I also dreamed about a four leaf clover but I can't remember the context.

Going to do this a bit backwards and write the last dream of the night first since it was my lucid and my memory wasn't great last night. I had migraines and trouble sleeping, so I had aleve and benedryl in my system, generally mucking up any chance I had of remembering the stuff from the first part of the night.

Dream Four: I'm at Walmart with my husband and my daughter. We're looking for that paper for preschoolers with the ABCs printed on it that you trace to learn how to draw your letters. For some reason we're looking in the pharmacy. We keep finding loose single sheets in the bins, and even a book that's been broken and ripped, but we can't find anything new and still in the package. I recall there being some stationary around the Electronics department so I tell my husband we should go back there and look. He grabs my hand and we start walking towards the electronics department. I think he's pulling the buggy with his other hand, then realize I don't hear my daughter and look back to see he's not. I freak out that he left her, and he says he'll go back and get her he's sorry, and to just go ahead and go look for the paper. I agree, and then walk towards electronics. I walk past the toy department and see my son with my mom picking out a toy, but keep walking on a mission. I find the paper, and then my husband and mom both show up with the kids in tow. Then either time skips or I'm missing the events, but the next thing I can remember I'm getting my Daughter out of the car. I'm in a garage, and our car is a black SUV. I set my daughter down and realize somethings off. I don't drive a black SUV, and we don't have a garage. I call out for my husband to get over here quick! He asks what's wrong, and I tell him, "This is a dream! I'm dreaming, or we're dreaming. I'm lucid!" I'm practically jumping with excitement. He shakes his head and just looks totally confused, so I just tell him to watch the kids. For some reason, after my daughter being lost earlier in the dream I just can't stand the idea of walking away from them even though I know they're only dream characters. I run out across the yard and onto the road. I notice that our house isn't even on our road anymore, instead it's about ten minutes away in the fields next to Drum's (a local restaurant). I want to fly, so I try hopping, skipping, and jumping, with no luck. I'm annoyed, but think it's ok, if I can't do one thing, I'll try something else! I think to myself, I'm going to pull a magic wand out of my pocket and then I won't have to worry about things not working, because I'll have magic! But there's nothing in my pockets I get this bright idea that I'm going to go into the house and get my daughter's toy magic wand, that'll work just as well in a dream. I go inside, and into the bedroom. I notice that the room is an exact mirror image of my room in waking life. I find it cool how everything is exactly opposite of usual. Then I feel fuzzy headed and think, "Crap! I'm waking up!" but then when I blink my eyes and "wake up" I realize I'm not in bed, I'm on the floor. I think for a moment that I must have fallen out of bed, but then I realize I can feel carpet on my cheek, and my house has hardwood floors. I'm still dreaming! I get up and the room has made a 3/4 turn shift so everything is the wrong way, but I don't much care, I've already marveled over the room, I just want to go do something cool! I grab the toy magic wand off the bookshelf, then head back outside. My husband is still in the garage with the kids, and I tell him again that I'm dreaming, and he still seems confused. I shrug and go back out to the road. The house is in a different spot again, but I don't pay much attention to it. Instead I decide that my belief in this being a dream is just not strong enough to let me do what I want, so I'm going to prove to myself it's a dream and push it to the extreme. I lay down in the road in front of a Semi. I close my eyes and listen to it getting closer and closer, waiting for it to hit me, but knowing it wouldn't. I look up a few times, and the truck never gets any closer, even though it appears to be moving. I decide to try now to bring something into the dream. Knowing a wand didn't work, I try bringing in Renji from Bleach by visualizing since I had accidentally brought him into my last lucid that way. I figure if I can do it on accident so easily, I shouldn't have any problem doing it on purpose. Fail I get up and go back inside remembering that I was going to get a toy wand earlier. I walk into the room, grab the toy wand off the books shelf, then walk towards the door and start feel fuzzy headed again. CRAP! I wake up, once again on the floor, this time though I know it's another false awakening because I feel for the carpet right away. Unfortunately, I don't have the wand anymore, instead I'm holding one of those Sugar crystal formations on a stick.

I decide to go with it, the dreams jumping around so much, rather than fight it and wake up frustrated I'll just do what I can with what I'm given. I take my magic rock candy outside, but drop it in the grass as soon as I step off the porch. I shrug, and pick it up telling myself, "This is a dream, there's no dirt on this thing!" then I take a bite, so at least I can be happy that I've tasted food for the first time in a lucid if I wake up without having done anything else. It tasted like grass... then when I told myself over and over that no grass was on it because this is a dream, the grass taste went away and it tasted awesome, just like the real thing I take a moment to look at the road again. This time, instead of being in the middle of a pale green and yellow field with a straight road in front of us, the house is sitting on a hill with the darkest lushest grass I've ever seen, and the road zig zags in front of the house. Sort of like an s curve in the road, only with sharp corners instead of curves. I set off down the road to my left, suddenly thinking I've accomplished something cool, I ate in a lucid, so now I'm going to go looking for K since it's been a long time since I've done that or even seen him for sure in a non lucid. I notice some teenage kids in the road across the street from the house, so I start by asking them if they know K and can take me to him. One kid grins all creepy like the Cheshire cat, and he tells me his older brother knows K and could take me to him, I just have to come inside and wait for his brother to get home. His creepy unnatural smile bugs me, so I refuse saying I'll wait outside. He tells me that if I don't go inside his brother can't take me. I tell him thanks, if his brother changes his mind I'll be up the road, but I'm not stupid enough to go inside. Then I start thinking to myself that maybe I could get my husband to take me to him since hes a dream character too and in previous dreams he's known who K was. Then I decide that it's probably not a good idea, seeing as how K's been my love interest in many a dreams, and just because he was friend with K in one dream, doesn't mean his dream character is going to be happy to take his wife to find another man, lol. So instead I keep walking and thinking. Hm, I read a post about controlling your lucids like a video game, and I carrying my 3DS around with me everywhere, maybe I could use that somehow? I pull it out of my pocket with no problems (In waking life, I always carry it in my bag, it's way too big to fit in my pants pockets. I envy how guys pants have so many big pockets to carry stuff in!) then I open it up, and look for a lucid dream game. No luck. But then I realize if I'm in a dream, maybe I can send a message to K with the swap note app and it'll go to whatever electronic devices his dream self may be carrying. As I walk I open up swap note, but don't recognize anyone on my friends list. Then I realize, no wonder, I'm logged in as my daughters Mii! So, I log off and log in as my Mii (you really can't do that on a 3DS, there's no log ins or log outs, lol) then I scroll on my friends list with this idea of what I think K's Mii might look like. I don't see a Mii with the hair I thought his should have on it, but I do see one with a really odd hairstyle that I've never seen on a Mii before and decide that has to be K because it sticks out so much and is so different from all the others. I've only met K in dreams, and he always sticks out. He doesn't feel empty like other Dream Characters, instead he actually has an energy like feel, like real people in real life do. I start to send a message to that Mii, but I find that there's already a message written to him, and assume it's from a previous dream, maybe when I was non lucid I tried this before. The note tells him where I am, but it's the wrong place, so I'm trying to erase it to write the correct place and I can not get it to erase. I'm surprisingly laid back in my dreams, and when it doesn't work the way I want to, I decide to find a way around it. I'm going to send a message to someone else and ask them to forward it to him. I find a random Mii, a female, and send her a message that I'm looking for K and to please have him get in touch with me. Then My 3DS turns into a phone, and it's ringing. I put it up to my ear and it's the girl I had messaged. I'm still walking down the road and am coming up on a house i lived in about 6 years ago, and the girl starts going off on me. She's telling me that I need to leave K alone, that he's working really hard to take care of his family and he's under a lot of stress right now, the last thing he needs is me expecting him to take care of me too. I'm both hurt and pissed by her statements, and I storm towards (and eventually inside) the house I used to live in while I fuss right back at her. I try to defend myself by saying I understand he has his own things to do, and I don't want him to have to take care of me. I just want to see him, and if he's trying to take care of a family, I'd like to help him. Then I hang up on the girl because she just keeps going on and on, and I get the impression that she's trying to get me out of the picture because she's hung up on him too, lol. I'm inside my old house, and I am walking around inside it looking for K. My lucidity is slipping, but I don't notice it, instead I just accept the dream fact that this house is now home to a bunch of squatters with no where else to live. I think that if K is struggling to take care of a family (not sure if this point if we're talking wife and kids family, or brothers and sisters family, lol) that he's likely to be somewhere like this. I walk out the back door, and see some people, but none of them are K so I just wave and keep looking around. I go to the front yard and up the driveway, then I see a black SUV driving up the road. I walk up to the road where the SUV has stopped. A guy with blond hair, but short cut and his face looks failure but is definitely not K, gets out. An older woman walks off the porch and up to the SUV. She starts laying into the guy, telling him he has no right to be here. Somehow K comes up, and I ask if the guys knows him. The woman says she's K's mom, and that the guy is his older brother that she kicked out of the house at the age of 5. I'm shocked she'd do that to her kid, but she starts saying he was always surrounded by women, even pregnant ones, and she was sick of all the hussies around her house. The guy is trying to defend himself saying she's crazy and off her rocker and he did no such thing, she just makes this shit up to justify what a bitch she is. I'm just like, "Wow, age 5?! How is that even possible?!" Then I decide this conversation is none of my business even if they do know K, they're not going to take me to him if they're fighting. I turn around and start walking back down the driveway towards the house hoping I'll find some other clue to K's whereabouts. I notice there are tents going down the driveway, and some people poke their heads out and wave at me. I smile and wave back, but then wake up. I didn't open my eyes and hope to fall back asleep and do a DEILD but I'm too excited about the fact that I was lucid and actually did stuff that I couldn't fall back asleep. I tried getting up and going to the bathroom then laying back down, no luck. I spent about 45 minutes trying to fall back asleep before giving up and coming in here to type all that out, lol.

Dream Three: I dreamed that I'm watching from third person as a man (whom I understand in the dream to be myself) is shot by another man in the back and killed. Then I spend most of the dream watching as the other man claims that I was trying to kill him so he killed me first. Some people can see my ghost and I tell them what really happened, but then some police see my ghost and try to arrest me. I wonder what it's like for a ghost in jail, because a ghost has no life to end a life sentence, I'd be there for eternity, and I don't like that idea.

Dream Two: My notes say Skylanders, so I must have dreamed of that game.

Dream One: My notes say "Another" which is an Anime on Crunchy Roll right now. I just finished it yesterday, and it was REALLY good but since it was Horror and pretty disturbing, I'm glad I didn't remember this dream after resting the whole night, lol. I figured I'd dream of it because it was on my mind a lot and I wanted to re-watch it and see all the little Clues I missed the first time around.

Mardi Gras
Noelle, Lauren, and a large group of friends and I are all at "Mardi Gras," although the city looks nothing like New Orleans and the festival does not look like Mardi Gras.
I am standing in the middle of a crowd in the city. If I look to my left, there si a great divide and the city next to me looks like old Las Vegas.
The group and I are all out late partying. We want to go home early so we can wake up early the next day for Mardi Gras. We end up stopping in this large bathroom and are doing strange, milky Vodka shots. We meet a guy there who talks me into staying and continuing to party. I end up falling asleep in the bathroom. When I wake up everyone has left me. I pack up a bag I have with me and start to head out. A large guy with a towel comes into the bathroom. When we walk out, we are at a large house where he and a group of people, including my niece Hannah, live. Some kind of argument happens between me and a random car stopped in the road. I find it odd that one of the passengers automatically knows my name. I end the fight with "Whoo-hoo! It's Mardi Gras!" I sart walking round the house, looking up at the balcony for my friend (the guy in the towel) to tell him the story. I go inside and Hannah is there. I play with her by grabbing her hands and swinging her off the ground - defying gravity a little. My friend comes onto the scene and I tell him the story.
Later, Noelle finds me. I am upset at her for leaving me, but forgive her. She is wearing a 80's workout costume (like we actually wore for WR Mardi Gras). We start heading back to where we are staying to to get a costume for me.

Fragments

• Putting contact solution into large bowls in a bathroom.
• A strange play with people with strange, pale, blue eyes.
• I am in a car. Noelle is driving. Dayne is in the back seat. She is recounting a story to us as we drive down a windy road that reminds me of Ventura, CA. I keep trying to talk and tell her why people don't like her.

• I am walking with a group of people. We stop to ask this other group to go to lunch with us. They decline. We start walking back the way we came from. We run into Nigel from America's Next Top Model and his entourage. I ask him to go to lunch with us and he accepts. We are excited that one of our judges is coming to lunch with us.
  Somehow, we end up going to a play instead of lunch. There is about 16 of us altogether, so we have a difficult time finding seats together.
• A dream about my root canal cap falling off.

• True Blood Dream
• 2 FA's about waking up and writing in my DJ
• A tall, blonde girl has a crush on Noelle. The blonde girl and I are walkign outside a house. We both hear Noelle's voice from outside. She is immediately excited just from hearing Noelle's voice and wants to go inside. When we go inside, she starts trying to flirt with Noelle. I grab Noelle and start kissing her to show the girl that we are together. Noelle, a little embaressed and oblivious to the other girl's attraction, pulls away.
  Later, Noelle and I are in a bedroom together and I tell her that it hurt me when I was kissing her and she pulled away.
• I awake in a bed, well a mattress on a floor. As I drowsily open my eyes, I see a chicken walking around my room. Unsure of where I am, I start calling first for my Mom, then my sister, then Noelle. Noelle comes in and I ask her why there is a chicken in my room. More chickens start coming in the house as well as cats, and one small rat. I go outside and there are lots of chickens there as well. I am afraid that one will peck me. As soon as I feel this fear, one charges at me, attempting to peck me. I leap in the air and land balancing on top of a pole, ninja style.
• I am at a bank negotiating a loan. I explain to the banker that my bank is Citibank and is located in California. He takes me to another banker, but suddenly we are in the food court at a mall. His large bank-like desk is located in the middle of the food court. I tell him as well that my bank is located in California. On his desk are many tiny hats made of straw. Each hat has a country or state on it Since I lived in Cali, he tells me I have to wear the Cali hat. He gives me a little hat to wear that has a picture of a palm tree and the California Bear on it. I put on the hat and walk into the mall's food court. I walk up to a table and start talking to the people there, only to realize that I am wearing just a t-shirt and underwear. I realize that I am in a dream, but am not fully lucid. I decide I want to change my clothes and remember some tips from DV on dream control. I walk into the bathroom and take off my clothes. I decide I want to wear a blue halter maxi dress. I reach behind my neck like I am tying material and create the top of my dress. I guide my hands down my body and as I do, little blue particles come emanate from my hand and materialize into a dress.
• I am following two people up a maze-like series of metal stairs and elevators. I got the sense that there has been some sort of apocalypse or disaster and they are leading me to safety. The pair is dressed in black and grey punk clothes and are both wearing hoods so that I cannot see their faces. They are connected in some way, but I am not sure if it is as brother and sister or as lovers. There are running faster than humanly possible. If I concentrate on them, I can run just as fast as they are with ease; if I look away, I immediately slow down. I look away and start to fall behind and loose them. I ask if they are trying to outrun me. They say no, they are trying to help me. They lead me up a final set of stairs then disappear into a crowd of people. A few minuets later, a large white man approaches me, trying to hit on me and puts his arms around me aggressively. I start pushing him away. Another man, a large black man wearing a cool jacket, tells him to leave me alone. The white guy leaves. I thank the black man and compliment him on his jacket.
• Something about my sister and pink cupcakes.
• Matt S and I are in a large thrift store. We are in some kind of Project Runway type challenge. We are given a rack of clothes that we have to deconstruct and use to make a new outfit. We do this for Matt, then realize that we have to make on for me also. We start mine, but realize the group next to us is doing something similar, so change our plans. This cause us to not finish on time. We have to show an audience our outfits next. I don't realize it at the time, but the clothes are constantly changing through the whole dream.

Surely enough, I would say that this dream is very video game related, most likely my dream sign, though I cannot fully verify this yet.

The dream began in a somewhat eerie tone, though in a seemingly happy event. I was with my mom, my brother and my mom's ex-husband. I don't remember much of what happened, but we went to a club or restaurant of sorts. Other than that, I remember us having a good time, doing whatever it is that we did, though as the dream progressed, it became night, and with a quick and sudden transition, I was now an infant in a basket, an infant that could suddenly walk out of said basket as well. It would seem that gang members or smugglers were out to get me, scarily.

The woods were of a somewhat blue-night variety, and there was a stone bridge where the basket was on. Under it was a waterfall, one that streamed downwards rapidly, and I was one to be able to move down that waterfall with ease.

In mere seconds, I was now grown into an adolescent, though a girl who at times seemed to switch back to a boy, rinse, repeat. There was a... well, stoner looking guy with me, one who warned me about a large creature who was out to get me. The sun was either rising or setting at this point, but I was in a green pasture with a cliff at the end that underlooked a large peninsula next to us. Between that cliff, suddenly arose a large, blue and strange female, medusa-like creature, who screeched and spat fireballs at me. Her health bar was at the top, and it would seem that every bit of the bar that went down would show a small image of the creature without a torso piece on, breasts fully exposed. All in all, she had a weakness that I don't remember, and I was getting frustrated because I was loosing so much, though I was unable to beat her before my dream ended.

Dream One: I'm at a bar and grill type restaurant, like maybe an Applebees type place. A friend I haven't seen in years, we'll call her G, was with me and we were sitting with three guys. I know there's someone that I'm there with, but he's not at the table, he's gone to the bathroom or something. G wants to do something funny, so she takes a picture of me out of her purse and tapes it to the booth beside us thinking she'll trick him into thinking I'm sitting over there when he gets back. Then she tries to drag me to the bathroom so He won't see me before the picture. I'm trying to tell her to knock it off but she won't listen and drags me about ten feet away. Luckily, the guy comes around the corner and asks where we're going. G says to the powder room, but I say no where and walk back tot he table with him. He looks at the picture and kind of laughs, then says it was a cute trick but the picture was way too revealing for public. I look closer at the picture and the front of the shirt in the pick is drooped so you can see the top of my cleavage, I'm suddenly pretty mortified and yank the picture down. One of the guys at the table laughs and I jokeingly say to him, "You guys are trying to kill me aren't you?" Then the guys are talking about something, it sounds like business, and I'm bored so I get up and go out the front door of the restaurant to get fresh air. The guy I was with comes out and grabs me by the arms. He starts interegating me, telling me that I have to be careful, and can't pull silly stunts that draw attention to me like my friend had just done. Then he tells me I'd better not tell the people at the table that I spent time in some other country. The he asks me what it was I was doing in that other country, and I have this flashback of me running with a Griffin across a rocky landscape. I refuse to tell the man I'm with about it though, knowing I'll sound crazy. Then the guy tells me I just need to be careful, because one of the other guys at the table would find out everything he can about me and use it against me if it would be to his advantage. I pull away about to tell him that I don't care, but I wake up instead.

Dream Two: I'm in a library or community job center or something. There's a bunch of computers in a U shape, and a lady behind a desk on the only empty wall. The lady behind the desk is talking to a man at the first computer to my right, so I'm between them. I turn to look at the man, and it's Renji from Bleach! He's telling the woman at the desk about Skype and how to use it. I pipe in with a few things, even though I've only used Skype a couple times. Renji looks up at me and smiles like he's glad I'm there, then I feel the world around me going black and realize it was a dream just as I'm waking up. I hear a voice in my head say, "Dragon Parody Productions" as my body tingles and I'm finally awake. I usually don't feel tingly and unable to move before I wake up, but that's just sleep paralysis wearing off I think.

Dream Three: I'm in a really nice rented house at the beach with My BFF's mom. My kids call her Mai Mai because they can't say her name. I notice that the roof of the place is glass, and round, like a giant round green house. The glass is blue tinted, and there are white wood beams radiating from a white wood circle int he center of the ceiling acting to support the glass. The furniture and walls are all white and it it feels very beach like. My husband and I are talking to Mai Mai and she's pointing out what she's calling the "atrium" outside, but is actually a real green house. I think this place is amazing and I wish I had a house like it with my own private green house. There's another building on the property and I think it might be a barn. It's storming and I spend a good deal of time marveling over how beautiful it is to see the rain hitting the glass roof and watching it run down the glass walls. I'm briefly scared, what if it hails and the glass breaks? but then it stops storming and I see a horse running around in the fence outside. It's just a tiny baby horse, and it's soo cute with it's little baby horse mohawk. I walk out to pet it, and my dad shows up and starts petting the horse too even though he doesn't like horses. Then he and the baby horse start chasing each other around the padock and the horse becomes a little girl around 4 or 5. The little girl wants to go inside, so we do, but my dad disappears. Mai Mai has a phone that the little girl plays with, but then the little girl pops off the phone keys and loses them! We look for them and start talking about my mom. Then I comment that this little girl is sooo cute and ask Mai Mai who's kid she is. Mai Mai says she's not a real little girl, but a robotic one they used to teach parenting at the school she used to work for. I think there's no way this little girl could be a robot, but Mai Mai insists and the girl agrees and tells me she never grows up! I wake up.

Dream Four (Fragment): I dreamed of a dragon. I thought the dream was awesome and I wanted to be extra sure I'd remember it so even though I was so sleepy I wanted to go back to sleep I went to write it down. As soon as I started to lift my hand to reach for the phone, I felt this wave of calm soothing me to go back to sleep and not worry about writing it down. It almost worked, but my son woke up at that moment and asked me if he could go into the living room. That made me fully awake enough that I pushed back the sleepyness and grabbed my phone. As soon as I looked at the screen my mind went completely blank. all I could remember was that the dream had been about dragons. I spent ten minutes trying to remember what it was about, then gave up and went back to sleep hoping it would come to me eventually. SO far it hasn't -_-

Dream Five: I'm standing in the middle of a storm, I call out to the clouds, asking for power. Lightening flashes, and I am sucked up into the sky. Suddenly I'm a child, looking up a spiral staircase. There's another little girl beside me whom I just know is my sister (even though I don't have one). We go up the stairs to find our mom, and see a door cracked open. We walk into the room, and my mom is laying there in the bed with a tv blasting away. She's not watching it though, she looks asleep. The little girl beside me calls out, "Mommy? Are you ok?" and mom snaps at us, she looks really scary and I'm trying to rush my sissy out of the room to safety. A female voice tells us not to worry, that everything will be ok, then she sets a red wand down on the nightstand by my mother and closes the door. I can't remember what the woman looked like though. I can hear her telling my mother to take the wand, and I hear my mother suddenly change to a nice voice and say she's sorry for being so mean and that it's hard for her to live right now. I turn away from the door, not wanting to hear her excuses, and then the light flashes and I'm big again. I'm dressed in blue, something similar to Aqua from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Two green wands appear in my hands, then they change color to blue grey to match my clothing. I hear myself saying, "The one that's fast is mine. The one that is strong is also mine." The wands glow white for a moment, then transform into a sword and a fighting staff. Then I see an ocean, and there are two ships on it. The first ship explodes, and I see two ninja like figures leap from the smoke to the second ship's mast. Then, another ninja like person jumps out of the smoke and the first two explode. I just know they've died. Then I see the inside of a ship, where people who look similar to Bleach captains and lieutenants are sitting. I say similar, because they don't look like cartoons, nor do they look like cosplayers, but I can tell who they are because their facial features match up to what the drawings look like. Their hair is normal looking, not spikey like a cosplayers would be. They are seated around a table, talking and drinking tea. There's a loud noise outside, and they open the door to have bad guys bursting in on them. They start punching and swinging their swords, knocking the bad guys into a purple misty like portal of some sort. Then they sit back down and are listening to some message from a fallen soul reaper. It's the ghost of one of the two ninjas I saw before. It's saying they had completed their mission, but on their way back they were ambushed. I wake up.

This was a really long and interesting night for me. I went to bed late and quite tired, so I couldn't think of anything related to lucid dreaming, which just made me fall asleep. I only remember now short fragments of my dreams:

1. Me staying in my classroom. About half of my class was there, along with a brother of an old friend of mine and an old classmate of mine, both of which weren't supposed to be there. The desks were arranged in a weird manner and they seemed to have round edges (while in reality they are just rectangular benches). A classmate of mine was sitting in my seat and he told me that about half the class wanted to go on a specific trip, but I knew that was untrue because most of them felt forced to go, being afraid of the teachers.

2. I was walking with my girlfriend, and we were going towards some sort of family party (with my family). As we were almost there, my phone rang, and it was my girlfriend. It felt really strange that she was right next to me, and I was also talking on the phone with her (the person near me wasn't actually talking on the phone, so basically I was interacting with some clones or something), and I was wondering whether she was jealous because I talked to this clone of hers at the same time.
When we got there I saw an older person whom I don't know that was really drunk and he said he was just "enjoying the moment while it lasted". I felt quite embarassed.

3. The next thing I know I was in some sort of ghetto-ish area. It was very dimly lit, quite dirty, and there was really no one around. It slightly resembled something you can see in a Fallout game. I realised that something was wrong,and that I had no idea how I gotten there, so I told myself I must have been dreaming. I looked at my arm and two of my fingers were flashing (appearing and disappearing). I realised it was a dream, and I knew that the first thing I had to do was calm myself down and stabilize. Still, I had absolutely NO control on it, and my body started flying upwards. As I saw the whole area under me, the lights became really brighter and I woke up (in paralysis, seeing a skeleton sitting on top of me. More on this here.

After I got out of paralysis, I turned around in my bed and went to sleep again, hoping I would sleep quietly until morning.
The next thing I know, I'm somewhere in my town, close to a shopping mall and I spontaneously realise that I'm dreaming. I hold my nose and I can easily breathe through it, and once again I know that I HAVE to stabilize and calm down, but my body instantly starts flying upwards. The lights get too bright, I blink repeatedly in my dream and wake up (not paralyzed, this time).

This exact dream happens again two more times, each time in a different area of my town, and with a different RC in them. In my first one I somewhere in my neighbourhood, and I looked at my hand and saw 6 fingers, so I knew I was dreaming. Instantly, the same thing happened again, I flied upwards and woke up.

Then, for the third time, I get a very similar dream (in another part of town, close to a school). This time I see my fingers flashing again, I get lucid, start flying,and wake up.

I really hope I'll be able to control everything better from now on...

I am really frustrated with my dream recall right now.
I'm not even stressed or anything, which would explain the lack of recall.
Usually when I get adequate sleep, do the occasional wbtb, and try to remember my dreams when I wake up, my dream recall gets pretty decent.
When I'm doing well I often remember 5 or more dreams per night.

One of them has a really strong green skin color, must be a rare mutation.
I then spot at least 15 pairs of eyes on him. Huh? How weird.

I hear my father coming into my room to wake me up whilst still dreaming.
I cannot recall the dream though, only that I heard him come in...

Brain, why u no recall dreams? >_<

Dream One: I was at the river, in a sail boat. I see a tipped over sail boat, and decide to pull on a string attached to it to right it. I pull the string inland, but just as I'm about to reach the dock the string pulls me backwards and almost off my boat and into the water before I let go! I look back, and the sail boat has become a cruise ship and has tipped. I turn to look for someone to help, then turn back and it's a sinking Pirate ship. I wake up.

Dream Two: I'm watching something about Psychic warfare on TV. My mom is there and when I ask her a question about the show, she tells me to talk to her Friend R, because R knows everything about psychic stuff. I ask R, and she starts to give me an answer, then she starts talking in Gibberish. I ask her what she's talking about, and she says she doesn't know. I ask her about Psychic warfare again and she tells me there's no such thing and not to be silly! Then I suddenly know there are soldiers outside the house and they're going to try to silence me because R did know something and let it slip before they rewrote her memories. A smoke bomb flies through my window, then I wake up.

Dream Three: There were Skylanders in the dream but that part is fuzzy and I don't remember anything but seeing legendary Trigger Happy on the screen. Then my husband was talking to his father about snakes in the yard with swollen bodies. (This was during my nap because I only slept 2 hours last night due to sick kids and thunder storms) The snake and swollen body bit was actually reality bleeding into my dream. My husband had Skyped my brother in the living room in the front of the house (I was in the bedroom in the back of the house) and the kids were watching my brother feed his pet snake. My husband was asking how long the snakes body would be swollen with the mouse inside it, and apparently I heard it in my sleep and my dreams attempted to explain this.
