dream fragment

Weird fragments of dream, although I woke up during it due to a power cut...

A crime had been committed in my grandparents' house. Sherlock Holmes was investigating.
There was a weird happening every night in the conservatory. Everyone would sit in the dark, and everyone would feel like someone slapped them across the face, but when the light was turned on there was nothing.
In fact the guilty party was a dwarf. His weapon was a box which released a killer insect when you pressed the bottom in a special manner.

There is an indent in the floor of the room, filled with water. I noticed there are colorful stones there. One of them is a big, purple one, and it easily brakes into peaces, revealing a deep purple tone inside. It looks something like this, but a bit of a shade darker. Somehow I think it wasn't amethyst.



I'm going to go and search for it tomorrow at the crystal shop. I'll report if I find anything.

1. It's nighttime. I'm sitting around drinking something with a friend, when suddenly I start to feel pretty bad. The dreamview switches to a close-up of my digestive tract, which shows itself to be swollen and red and close to exploding. This continues for an uncomfortable time, showing different organs, when the view suddenly goes third-person. My body explodes, splattering blood on the dream "camera" and causing an elderly couple to comment on my rudeness.

2. My brother, my roommate, and I are chasing the girls who live at my research station around the halls. Eventually they start to fight back, and I do parkour down the (IRL nonexistent) basement stairwell to hide from them.

Work Flipped:
I was at work. I served some customers, moved some large tray containers from the floor and there was something about a district manager, possibly me becoming one. The store was different in the back with the big oven on the right side, the large wooden table is horizontal and the exit in located in the north.

Thoughts: Dream fragment again, but, bad night for recall. Still better than nothing

I attribute this dream of sparse recollection to the extreme amount of stress that's been in my life recently. As most of us know that stress is extraordinarily detrimental to dream recall; and I've been having quite a bit of stress, making dream journal entries difficult

I remember being very upset, I remember this emotion to be surprisingly vivid. I was upset because of my concern for some sort of change in my sleep schedule; I think it was because I wasn't getting enough sleep or something, I don't know for sure (as stated earlier this dream was of very sparse recollection).
I also remember the image of Count Dracula (the literal Count Dracula that actually existed in Transylvania, not the fictional movie character Dracula), and I remember talking about him; asking somebody (I can't remember who I was talking to): "Do you even know what Dracula looks like?!" For some strange reason unbeknownst to me, we were talking about vampirism as if it was an actual disease; and if it's beneficial or detrimental to survival.

Anybody know some tips for helping with dream recall?
And if you do answer, please don't give me that obvious answer "oh you should just read the dream recall tutorial."

Weird and Odd, possibly Scary and Perplexing:
I was on some trip, possibly to Toronto. I was on a ship or a train but with no roof looking at the scenery. I ended up getting onto this train and tried to find a seat. I was signalled by a girl who I knew. I told them I didn't want to be a bother but they said it wasn't a problem. I ended up sitting next to one of the members on this forum(keeping his name anonymous) across from these two girls. I still didn't feel satisified though and they could tell. It was something to do with the guy. I think we were friends but we had a recent fight and weren't talking to each other. The next thing that happened was the strangest thing. While in his seat, he gave me a quick kiss on the cheek(bleh). It was supposed to signal that everything was ok between us and we can be friends again, although, his expression didn't seem to match that. Dreams skips and we have arrived to where we were supposed to go. We walk around near shops and restaurants and it's pretty dark. We pass two girls who are laughing at something.

Thoughts: Soo weird and pretty random. I guess I fufilled the mysterious mind part that I was talking about at the start of my DJ It was pretty quick, so, I don't think much of it. Lucky for him, I wasn't lucid or else Anyways, odd dream and pretty bad recall, since, this was a fragment

It was the last day of school in a weird school.

I went in the front doors and saw Sydney naked in a fountain with some other girls, I tried not to look (<-That's exactly how I know I wasn't Lucid) I went down a ramp to the left near the commons

I was in the commons and there were a ton of people going crazy I later found that someone had broken my black glasses in a similar manner as my expensive ray bans.

I was sitting at a table watching the lunch lady set out lunch choices and I was trying to decide before I got there..

Potentially inspired by that episode of NCIS where the undercover FBI agent attempts to sell the satellite missile targeting system to some arms dealer.

I had to assemble some type of operating system. The man (dunno who) told me that the information was stored on six microSD chips (however, they were much, much smaller than usual microSD chips. They were a bit smaller than the size of an average 4th finger nail). I had five of them, but could not find the sixth one. I later discovered that it was in the apple I was eating. I pulled it from the apple, and assembled the six on the desk that I was sitting on. I had the idea to load them into a computer (I am currently in "my school's" computer lab, however, in real life I had never been in a building like this before) and then copy the information to a flash drive that I had in my pocket. However, I was worried that others would see this and that I could potentially get into trouble.

I was watching this story unfold in third person.

A guy wearing a loose white tank-top with blonde-ish hair was trying to become friends with a group of people hanging out at a park. He hit it off with them at first, but it was soon found out that he had done something wrong, and people began to dislike him. He was sentenced to build a jungle gym in the park. He eventually completed the jungle gym, but people still seemed to be upset with him. He build a slide out of large wooden planks, but missed putting one on, and a kid who slid down fell through the slide. He said that the wooden planks were priced at $128 a piece. I understood why he didn't want to finish the slide.

1st dream: Earlier that night, before I went to bed, a relative of mine had to come over. She was sleeping overnight at our house. After I went to bed, I dreamt that we were still awake and we were about to go to sleep. In the dream, she said something like, "I'm going to have a lucid dream tonight so if you hear any noise from me in the middle of the night just know that I am dreaming, and sorry if I wake you up." I remember telling my sister this in my dream, "Wow. She lucid dreams?" my sister was like, "I know." Then I guess I woke up.

2nd dream: I went back to sleep. Then I had this vague image in my head when I woke up, it was of people dancing. We were at a wedding reception the day before, so I guess that's why I dreamt that.

3rd dream: I fell back asleep in the morning, and this is what I dreamt: I can't remember most of this dream, but I remember being in this apartment; with this technician. I'm not sure if I broke something, but that's why he was there. He was also teaching me how to fix this weird contraption, it almost looked like a straightener. The guy left, and this family came into the apartment. Then I woke up.

All I could remember was one little picture of a guy talking to someone. Well, it was like a small video clip. It was like I was looking through tunnel vision; it was fuzzy too. And for some reason, the dream theme was blue.

I remember a little bit, at the end, there were some fireworks. All within the dream, I was in this laboratory or something, and I traveled in somebody's body I think. And I had a friend with a broken leg or (not to gross you out) a bone hanging out. o-o[/COLOR][COLOR=Blue][COLOR=Black]

1st part of dream: I was in this theater looking place. I can't remember what I did.

- - -

2nd part of dream: I seemed to have teleported to a field with a ton of other people, I think they were playing sports and stuff, somewhat like field day. These three people walked up to me. I can describe them: 2 guys, 1 girl; 6 feet tall; and they were dressed in black. They were talking to me about something corny, which at the time, I thought it wasn't. They started coming closer to me, and I backed up. They got a hold of me and picked me up by my shoulders. I was resisting and screaming for my life, I tried to scream my sister's name, because I remember seeing her in the field. Some people looked up, but none helped. Then one of the guys said something like, "Whoa. I just need you to show me how to do something."
I think we teleported to my house. The walls looked a little distorted (like in Dr. Seuss' books). The guy got onto my computer for something. And the computer looked like a giant oven, but I didn't notice that at the time. Then I woke up shortly after.

Okay, upon waking, I heard, "Sides, these passenger sides, and I heard they were cute. So cute!"

May 24-25, 2010.

I only remember this guy talking to me.
