memorable

I was reading through some shared dreaming stuff and saw a post by WakingNomad with this in it:

That got me thinking, I actually had a dream like this a long time ago. I figured it'd be worth writing down for the sake of preserving the memory. I don't really remember what happened in the dream leading up to this part other than that it was a pretty normal dream, I used to know more but it's been way too long since it happened, I was a little kid at the time. But I was sleeping in my parents' bed, and at the end of the dream I had that feeling WakingNomad describes, where everything is very vivid and very normal looking (not dream-like at all) and I felt like a ghost. I wasn't walking though, I was hovering (but not controlling it) in my mom's personal room, which is connected to my parents' bedroom. There are doors separating them with glass centers and window blinds to cover them, and the blinds were open so I could see through them. I saw myself sleeping in their bed in the early morning, and I saw the time on the clock behind my head. I don't remember what it was anymore, but let's say it was something like 6:34. (I do honestly think it was some time after 6am....) I didn't really realize what was going on at the time, but I did feel like something crazy was happening, and there was a large energy building, but everything was fading away, and then I woke up in the bed in the exact position I had been laying in, alone like I saw myself in the dream (my parents had already woken up and left the room), and the clock read 6:34 (or whatever it was), exactly as it had in the dream. I thought it was pretty cool, which is I guess why I still remember it after all this time. I didn't think much further into it, though. I was a kid, I had other priorities. So that's that.

So, I had this dream this morning that took place inside of some kind of church with many, many rows of seats that gradually went upward the farther back you went, like the bleachers in a school's gymnasium.

I sat in the middle row with my family and I looked down several rows and saw my cousin's family. They were sitting in the 3rd or 4th row from the front, so they were pretty far down there. All of the seats were full of families and there was a guy at the very bottom talking to us.

I don't remember what he was saying but he was saying stuff like "for all of those who are interested in doing this or taking part in this, come on down." I was waiting for him to offer the "King's Job" for some reason and I kept getting up right before he called out the next job offer only to sit back down agitated, lol.

Then he asked if any family member has never been a King before. I felt as though most of my family has been, however, none of my cousin's family were. And I thought to myself, "don't they feel any shame?" He then shouted out "King Status!" I jumped up, and to my surprise, nobody else got up. I took my time walking down the steps as I pulled out my wallet to make sure I had $100. I had about $200, I think........

I took out a hundred dollar bill and right before I got close to him, this other guy runs past me and beats me to the guy. I couldn't believe he did that. "How disrespectful" I thought. The guy gave him a $100 bill and the man gave him a $20 in change. I thought the price for "King Status" was $100. Then I gave him $100 after the other guy went back to his family and this guy said something along the lines of "why didn't I hurry up and get there sooner?"

But he still took the $100 and gave me a $20 back in change, lol. Then I went back and sat down with my family. Since the two of us were interested in becoming Kings, and there could only be one King, that guy would have to decide who's the most fit for the job. He walked up the stairs with a bible underneath his arm, went over to the other guy and his family, opened the bible and asked him to recite a passage, which he did. I don't remember what he was saying and I didn't care.

Then, I lost interest in the whole thing. I was like "fk this" but I didn't say it out loud and woke up.

End.

This is short of dream fragments. It started in the my dad's history and civil classroom at the local high school. Well someone I knew (who is a year younger than me) was doing a presentation but I wasn't paying attention since i was worried about something else. I remember running away with supplies and I somehow ended up in the libarary room at my church. Somewhere in the dream (but after the presentation scene) I was kidnapped. How do I know? I looked down and my hands were tied with rope.

A black panther was growling behind / under / beside my bed. He was very close and very angry. I was just waiting for him to attack.

In my dream, I was in bed and had been sleeping. I was now trying to open my eyes, but I couldn't.

Then, the panther was a cat. I still couldn't open my eyes, but the growling was now the purring of a cat. I could feel it's cool breath on my face.

I think there is some connection with FA's and becoming lucid. I felt close to lucidity in this dream, and I considered this an FA. I'll keep tabs on it.

I had this very dream. In the dream itself I saw 6 out of the 7 dwarves tied up (and they seem to be underground). There was a shot above on the manhole cover and the 7th Dwarf was sleeping on top of it. Well I don't know what happened. But we got out and I somehow ended up on something that was a cross between the Magic School Bus and a public bus. Well on the bus there was like clones of characters from the Magic School Bus TV show and the futher back on the bus I want..the clones hair started to look werid (one of the characters, had like 70s/80s hair style. The bus stopped in a swamp area and that's when I woke up.

Tuesday night I had a dream I was on a very weird trolley-subway. Mom and I had gotten on to the trolley subway and we started seeing all these rhymes about people who "died". Can't remember any of them. I just remember one of the rhymes the person died just by jumping out of her pants. Mom and I got off at a station we were heading towards the turnsile in one direction (to get out) and someone I knew was heading to get in.

the rhymes would be like the rhymes you would see in the graveyard at the Haunted Mansion in Disney Parks. http://www.costumediscounters.com/csc_i ... isney.html

(I wake up after some 4 hours of sleep, stay up for almost an hour and pop in Galantamine and Choline.... then just lay down in bed, not moving a hair... waiting while listening to binaural tones... I am pretty pumped up from the "wake up in your dream" seminar....)

Suddenly, I feel vibration wave going from my head to my chest.... and another one... somehow I understand what is going on.. and I just continue being still....

I wake up in bed in my grandmother's house, still attempting to fall asleep, not realising that it is a dream already. Then I do the "pull my finger" reality check that I was shown at the seminar. And at one point my finger stretches!! However, I am struggling to get up.

Then Karim enters the room, and he keep interrupting me. Next a small Colombian girl comes in, and I start to mess around with her a bit, taking off her top. Then I realise it is a dream, looking at my hands and finding my index fingers having a funny branch mini finger!!

It is a very high level of lucidity (4) as I remember so many things I want to do that I read about or heard of at the seminar. I am at the garden behind our house in Czech now. I want to fly different methods of flying. I want to try everything. I star waving my arms and it takes me up a little bit. Then I start kicking my legs, and I can feel much better acceleration, but its still very tough, and I think to myself "this is stupid, there must be a better way." So I just spread my arms and intend to fly, lean forward as I learned at the seminar... ... and to my surprise it works.... Then I just glide around over the top of the roofs and trees. At one point, I can see the roofs and antennas around our house.... gliding on them black and white trees. As I fly over the trees I can see a storm at the distance, I want to fly through, but I avoid it at the end. then I try to fly to the stars, but it is little boring as it seems like I am being still, since there are no objects around..... suddenly I notice red dots crossing the sky in different directions. I think to myself it must be satellites. I decide to fly back landing at our garden again.

I want to try door teleportation too. There is a family of 3-4 having a barbecue at our garden. I don't wonder about it, and sneak around them to the garage. It has nice white door. I walk through, but it is just dark in there (as I did not intend anything behind). I think, damn this doesn't work, so I walk back outside. Now there is a bench a bunch of teenagers, some of them girls. I have dirty thoughts again, but then I remember to try press ups. So I walk away a bit and start doing press ups. I goes tough, but i am not getting tired. Suddenly some of them teenagers start pressing on my back... so I stop.

Then I feel my hand is hurting. I know it is in reality as I remember falling asleep and having duvet held in that hand. I am thinking how to move my arm without waking up. Strangely I manage to merge these realities and a fix my arm to a better position.

Now, I am worried that it is too late and that I will not hear my alarm! I am running around trying to find working clock and my phone.... then I force myself up as I don't want to be late... waking up at 6:12 when my alarm is set to 6:15!!!

This was by far the most advanced and vivid lucid dream.

Well, geez. I can't believe I forgot to post this.

When I was in the 4th grade, there was this cute girl that I liked but I didn't have the balls then to tell her that. Her name was Cassandra.

Well, anyways, I had a dream about her one night and we were talking about stuff I can't remember but I said "if this isn't a dream, then I want you to knock on my desk two times tomorrow." And get this, the very next day we had to do group assignments and we got into groups of 4 I think.

As I was doing my work, she literally knocked on my desk two times. I looked at her for a second and then went back to the work I was doing. I didn't know what to think but I dismissed the idea that we had actually shared the same dream immediately because I didn't believe that baloney. Well, she never said anything about it afterwards.

It's been like, what, 20 years since then? I wonder if she still remembers that day. If I could find her like on Facebook or something, I could ask her. Hmm...

I think I had this dream probably last year. I was at my mom's house. It's night and the yard light is on as well as some lights in other people's houses, however, it was still very dark outside. I've got the backdoor opened and I'm looking out into the yard and fields and there are specters standing in the fields, all around the house, and there's even one standing behind me but I feel that these guys are helping me.

They were basically darker than black figures with red eyes and with a human form. They were about maybe 5 ft. tall. I thought that that was a really cool dream because I was being protected from any potential burglars and such and I had eyes all around the yard and in the fields.

The Classroom--Psychokinesis

I'm somebody else--a little boy. And I'm in a classroom with other children sitting at our desks. I get up to get a folder with paper it in and I use psychokinesis (by twirling my pointing finger at it) to pull the binder out of the cupboard and it falls to the floor--spilling out the sheets of paper. The students got a good laugh out of that.

I then used psychokinesis again to restack the sheets of paper and place them back into the binder and then levitate the binder into my hands. I went to sit down at my desk and now we're about to do a group assignment and everyone is getting into groups of 2 or 3 by pushing their desks together.

There's a whitish / blonde hair girl who looks as though she's blind in the right eye--I'm not 100% sure on this. She, I, and another girl form a group by pushing our desks together. The blonde girl asks me if I remembered going hunting with her and her friends... I had no idea what she was talking about so I said "maybe... it's been a while." Well, I guess she could tell that I didn't remember and she left the group. :/

Traversing Solid Matter

I'm still the same little boy as before.

This school we're attending, it appears to be a type of school that teaches psychokinesis and how to walk through solid matter. Several times do I remember traversing the school walls with other students. In fact, we were required to do so in order to access certain areas of the school. I don't recall seeing any teachers, however, I knew that someone was instructing us.

I traversed the school walls the same way I believed "they" taught us. First I imaged the school wall as being nothing but atoms glued together, but with several small openings between each atom--there was plenty of space to pass through them... I then did the same for my body, as our bodies are made up of nothing but atoms with small openings inbetween each atom.

I imaged that my atoms were vibrating rapidly, by doing so, this in turn would increases my chances of passing through a solid brick wall. It worked every time and it got to the point where I just waltzed right through walls.

Dirty Hotel
I was in this old hotel. I had the bottom floor, while my sisters occupied one of the higher rooms. On the bottom floor, it was almost like a garage. There was stuff kept in storage there, and then a space secluded off by half walls for my room (HALF walls.. seriously? how creepy is that). I looked around a bit, nothing was really here in my room. Just an old bed and an old chair. I found the door that could close my bedroom from other people. It looked like it was splintered in half, so when I tried to close the door, it was very hard. But I finally did and locked it.

I walked up the stairs to Sam's room. I would probably sleep there for the night.
Once I came into the room, I found my friend Mike and my cousin standing there. They were talking about playing with some kind of toy. After a while, they brought out this shiny thing and told me to come into the bathroom. Once I did, they showed me what it was. It was weird.

Queen of the Zombies
I dove into the floor. Realizing I just jumped into an abandoned hotel, I was about to go back out. But then I heard a scream.
My friends needed help in here, and I wasn't sure this was the hotel they were supposed to meet me in. But I guess it was.
I stood up and looked around for them. After a couple of steps, my friends, AG, Erin, Erica, and Kat all came running around the corner. "Thank the Lord your here!" Erin whispers.
"What's happening?" I said.
"There's something in this hotel. It's spawning a ton of nasty zombie looking things." Kat answered.
"Why did you guys come here, then?" I said.
"Because we were just going to come here to search, but then we found the zombies, so we wanted to take a closer look."
We heard large footsteps coming down the hall. "Quick, hide!" Kat whispered.

We all ran to a small room close to the lobby. It had a couch and a fireplace in it. We hid behind the couch.
AG was trying to jump over the couch to get to where we were. She missed twice. She wasn't very agile like we were. "Hurry!!" We half screamed. I saw a knife that was stuck through the back of a couch, its blade visible from the back.
"Watch out for the knife." I whispered.
This time AG got over safely. Now we all hid behind the couch, barely breathing.
The footsteps could be heard once more, and they were extremely close now. I looked up to see what it was. I saw huge tentacles coming through the door. I quickly got back down into a little ball, wishing that it would end.
The footsteps came closer to where the couch was. Once it stood right next to the couch near Kat, she stood up and punched whatever it was in the face. I heard a demonized scream. We all stood up, prepared to do whatever it took to defeat it. Looking at it, it was an ugly tan skinned zombie looking thing. She had tentacles popping out from all around her. Now that I think about it, some had bright bulbs on them, like Christmas lights, only they stung you.

Looking at her in the face, her eyes were popping out of her head, I'm pretty sure her nose was missing too. It didn't even look like she had hair, it looked like someone painted the top of her head. I suspect this to be the queen of the zombies in that hotel. She must have "spawned" them.

She screamed once more. I cringed. I got up the strength and jumped over the couch, barely missing her tentacles, and managed to slap her on the back of her neck. It was cold, clammy, and slimy. I jumped back over the couch, heart pounding.
Erica was now standing in front of this monster for some reason. The queen screamed again, and reached one of its tentacles up to Erica's face. She didn't try to move either. Once the tentacle made contact with her face, nothing happened. What about on top of her head? Nope. Around her body? Nope. No shock.

The demon zombie thing was taken aback. "What. . .why won't they shock you!?"
She turned to AG. "Here, you try." the queen said. (The queen wanted her to try out her tentacles to see if they would shock Erica... is this weird or what?) AG was given the tentacles, but she was just standing there, blank, having no idea what to do.
"Ugh, give them to me!" Kat yelled. She grabbed the tentacles from AG, yanked them out of the queen, and unplugged the power cord from the wall (what the heck?).
Everything went dark. I jumped up from the couch and gave the queen the biggest smacking I have ever done in a dream. Everyone joined in. Haha. The lights came back on, and it revealed what looked like pieces of a waxed figure on the floor. She was really a waxed figure, or manikin, with electricity in her. I guess the hotel was giving her power.
Right then I woke up.

March 7, 2012
I didn't write this dream down right away so I'm just going to summarize

The first part of the dream is extremely fuzzy. All I can remember is the fact that I faked my own death.

During the second part I am at this large football field. Off to the side are some tables. I, and a few others, are wearing party party hats and other party attire, most likely for a birthday. I remember gloating to them about how my parents thought I was dead

I then see some girl on the football field being a bully to someone else. I feel enraged and have a strong urge to beat her up, so I follow her. After a short while I manage to get near enough to punch her, and I stop when she is knocked out. After that I was all excited and proud.

The dream is fuzzy after that but I can recall flames and disaster as well as the fact that I was over 100 years old :/

I was a busy girl this night! Four MILDs, one almost V-WILD, and one non-lucid, not to mention some shadow creatures at the beginning of the night. Intense!

Side Notes - So, as I was falling asleep there was suddenly some very vivid and weird blobby structure textured like blue jeans behind my eyelids, it twitched and morphed very quickly. This was not hypnagogic imagery (at least, not fully), it was a remnant of when I used to meditate while abusing anticholinergic deliriants, it moved in the exact same way. I open my eyes and say "Great, so I'm hallucinating now." There were dark clouds moving across my room and coming up to my face, I could feel an animal presence in each one, but I didn't allow them to form into anything. Across my ceiling moved a cloud that I always recognize as one of my delirium signs. Had I let it grow, it would've turned into a big white alien crab thing. I decided to just close my eyes and try to fall asleep quickly anyway while repeating my lucidity mantra.

#1 - Playing With The Weather [MILD]

The first few parts of this dream I only remember in flashes. I remember wishing some city was closer to us for some reason, I think I perceived it as some cool party area, then blur... then there's some spaceship ride at a theater or old house or something where we weren't supposed to be, but I got on the ride with a couple other people and it sent me into third-person mode in outer space, controlling some ship (a star destroyer from Star Wars, maybe?) as some commercial about it plays in the background (just the audio) and the ship gets continuously divided into smaller copies of itself by other ships around it. I think this phase is what caused me to become lucid... suddenly I was back in first-person and standing in front of my house. A big red bus was driving down the street and I tried to pull it toward me with telekinesis but it didn't work, probably too big of a task for a beginner. (I don't think I've used telekinesis since my second lucid ever.) So instead I lept up and blasted off into the sky at supersonic speeds, the wind felt so amazing rushing past my face. I even got to feel myself pass through clouds, which was awesome! I watched the ground streak by until I stopped over some really big field in a country area with one or two small farms. I was really high up, above the clouds, and I saw a tornado tearing through the countryside. (Though, aside from a couple storm clouds, it was bright and sunny outside. ) I gave my telekinesis another shot and managed to change its path by holding my hand out and pushing it in a different direction. Next I turned my attention to a storm cloud next to me and tried to make lightning strike the ground from it, but it wasn't really working too well, it was more like a mild flash that was just a glitch in my perception. I guess that one might take some waking life visualization first to do well. After that I transitioned into third-person again and lost lucidity, there was some kid breaking into a bank and some nasty old man with a shotgun (I think...) and his dog comes in and threatens him to leave and return what he stole or he's going to call this other old man and make him his pet. I woke up after that. There was a lot of dream leading up to the blurry part too, I remember experiencing it, just not what it was.... Though I do remember it involved Erii.

#2 - Outmatched [MILD]

I was back in middle school but in a class with a guy I didn't meet until high school, and the environment was somewhat fused with my community college. I have two electric guitars made of rubber, and they really work but they also aren't stable and bend and flop around a lot. Apparently one of them is broken and the other is a replica of the broken one, and my teacher gets mad at me for having them so I ask if I can take them to a different classroom. She says sure, so I get up and start walking through the halls and swing them like crazy on my way, they bend so much that they made that *wop-wop-wop* spinning blade sound but with a cool little electric guitar noise. While walking through the hall I become lucid, and somehow I went from the second floor to the first floor. I look up a massive staircase and see someone who I don't remember, but I flew up to him and asked him where Mason was. (This guy I had a class with in high school, I don't know why I thought of him but I was basically just trying to keep a dream plot going.) He didn't know so I flew off to the cafeteria (first floor) and there were several rows of tables with computers set up there for some reason. I just had fun walking through the rows and seeing tons of old people I went to middle school with, including D and C, working on some projects. I walked to one of the stairwells and sat down next to it and pulled out my phone to start texting (I think I almost lost lucidity here), and O walked by me and said that I'd better be careful because he had just gotten in trouble for doing that, and I was like oh snap, I'm supposed to be in class! I walk up the stairs next to these two random DC girls and tell them about the guitars and they laugh, and I'm like "I know, fuckin' dreams." Upstairs we walk to a section where there's a large gap in between two sections of the floor that you can see the first floor through, with a bridge off to the right of where I am. Directly across from me is a room with a bunch of people standing out front, so I jump across the gap myself and walk into the room. It's small and nearly empty, with another even smaller room (like closet-sized) connected to the side of it. There's a random girl standing next to the window looking out of it, and she looks over at me. Suddenly she runs over to me at LIGHTNING speed, like leaving a blurry trail behind her and everything, and stands right in front of me with this serious face. I freak out and try to kick her away, but with her super speed she just jumps to right behind my foot. She just stares at me and then reaches out to grab my leg. O_O And I'm basically terrified at this point, but then I wake up.

I need to master that level of super speed as a power!!

#3 - Walking On Water [MILD]

O and I are leaving our middle school to go to In-N-Out for lunch but we accidentally use an exit door that has an alarm on it. I figured this out after we used it but O didn't, so I just wanted to get out of there so I don't get in trouble. We almost left, but O started seeing everyones' reactions to the alarm going off and starts having a panic attack, so I put aside my worries to keep him calm. It jumps forward to me right up next to some window blinds, like literally they're all I see, with individual ones having information printed on them about how I have to sit in this timeout class all day for being in trouble, and it specifically stated that one of the school admins was ninja9578. Eventually I back away from the blinds and see that this class is in a tiny building in front of the school, in the parking lot. This one guy in somewhat fancy black clothes is there and asks me what I'm there for after talking to the teacher about something, but I became lucid around this point. I just tell him I'm getting out of there, and I fly up and phase through the wall and into the sky. I look back and see him smiling and looking encouragingly at me, and he says "This is a dream!" or something like that, and I just smile at him and fly off. I start off down the road toward my house, but then I decided to ground myself and hoof it this time to make sure I didn't get too much of an adrenaline rush. I run down the path, and normally there's a bridge and on the left side of it you see my old elementary school, but instead this time right at the edge of the bridge was a beach with a long stretch of water going out from it. :O I decided that walking on water would be a cool thing to do, so I just ran out on to it. There are waves forming and breaking beneath me and it feels so cool, I try to jump over the waves as they come just for the fun of it. That went on for a short amount of time, then the dream ended.

False Awakening - I had a false awakening here where I intended to start writing that dream down, but it wasn't really significant. Luckily it didn't mess with my memory of it, but it did make me think I had woken up between the alarm part and the getting in trouble briefly when I actually hadn't.

#4 - Sleepwalking Scare [MILD]

I was briefly lucid, I can't remember much other than that the plot of the dream seemed really unstable and ill-formed, like the DCs were actually invisible. They were definitely there in a third eye kind of way, but they vanished easily, and I was afraid that I was actually lucid sleepwalking or something because I was standing naked in my bathroom, and if I closed my eyes and walked around I felt myself moving and all, but when I would open them I'd still be in the same spot. However, when I actually woke up I was still in bed.

Side Notes - After this I wasn't really intending to fall back asleep, but I didn't feel like getting up either. I stayed in bed and started thinking about giving myself a breast massage, but I was so lazy that I didn't even actually feel like lifting my arms to do it, so I started visualizing it instead. To my surprise, the visualization was incredibly strong, and I felt like it was actually happening. A scene started forming around me too, I was walking Target and looking at DVDs while doing this. It definitely felt like it was about to completely take over and suck me into a V-WILD several times, but it was never able to fully do it. Maybe if I'd done this method before I would've known how to push it all the way, but as it is I just don't think I was tired enough to fall into it. After I gave up with that it took me another fifteen or twenty minutes to fall asleep again.

#5 - Chao Raising [Non-Lucid]

I was raising chao (from Sonic Adventure) with K, and then my memory gets blurry.... I wrote down "find a way back to the beginning of an obstacle course which takes me back to the beginning of it all and causes me to hatch from one of his eggs?" I remember before this he was at my house writing a trip report for some cannabinoid smoking blend we had both tried, and then he was leaving but I said I wanted to go with him and he said I needed to hurry, so I went to change clothes and somehow it launched into that. Afterwards he asked me what I was going to do with the new chao and I told him I might go for one beauty-based (?) because until then I'd been looking at Erii as the figure of beauty. (??) Then I woke up lol.

After I woke up from my previous dream at 6:29 A.M. I had a hard time going back to sleep so I just laid there for a while. Not sure when I dozed off again but I awoke at about 8:45 A.M. this morning.

I dozed off sometime after 7 A.M. I guess. I dreamt I was in a neighborhood and it started out with me standing in the street looking at several nice houses which were lined up side-by-side. I walked into a driveway of one of the houses and a family came out of it and walked up to me. They seemed to know me.

Then I looked over into the other driveway and saw a family (a man and his two daughters I think) were getting into an old-fashioned car, but the car looked new. His oldest daughter caught my attention because of her pale skin and the pretty dress she was wearing. She was hot. I also noticed that there was a huge church far down the road.

This dream must have repeated itself like four times. I also remember fooling around with some other guys. We were levitating and landing on the rooftops of buildings and going into poolhall type places and getting on the internet there. The rest of my experience with them is a blur. I also remember going lucid and realizing that I was dreaming while I was on one of the rooftops.

The next thing I know, I'm back in the street again, like a step away from entering the driveway of the house in front of me. Could this have been the same house I was in from my previous dream earlier this morning? This time no one didn't come out and the other family next door had left in their car. I was completely lucid and looked to my left and saw the huge church. I figured that I'd better try to get a hold of some type information before I wake up.

So, I fly (low to the ground) over to the church and came up to the side of the church and then I started walking around to the front side so that I could see the name. Right as I approached the front of the church, its image changed and the church was now old, rundown, and crumbled. But the name and date were still on it. I stared at the name and date and made sure to note it to memory.

The name of the church was "Presence Hall" and the date it was constructed was...... 3478. I stared at the year in utter disbelief.... 3478? But everything looks modern. I didn't see any futuristic cars or spaceships, etc. They were both written in white paint which had eroded and faded greatly, however, everything was legible. Then something unexpected happened. An old guy walked up beside me and said "hello." I said "hello" and said "excuse me.... mister.... when was this church built?"

And he said "in 3478." Then he began saying something I couldn't quite make out while I was still looking at the name and date of the church. I saw him reach into a small compartment of some of the crumbled stone and pull out an old, worn document. It was a thin, paper document of perhaps 20-30 pages or so, and it had a paper cover. He was looking at me as he took it out.

I then asked him, I said "mister.... what state is this?" Then my dream began to fade quickly and everything got darker and darker and I heard him say "this is the state of Texas" as I woke up.

For the record, I live in S.C. and I'm not a church goer. And I've never heard of this "Presence Hall" before.

In the first dream I remember having this morning, I walked past a lady, her husband, and two kids. I stopped and turned around to look at the lady who was holding one of her kids and it was as if the resolution straightened up and became crystal clear. Then, everything went black! As if somebody turned off the lights. During this darkness, I had this strong feeling that someone gave me something that I shouldn't have. Whatever they gave me surprised the living crap out of me. I was like "You're giving this to me!!!"

Bam! Lights back on! I'm in a regular bedroom with one or two computer monitors. Everything looks good, the resolution of my dream is good, and I'm not me--I'm a teenage boy. My little brother (or rather this guy's little brother) is also in the room doing stuff. And there's somebody else standing next to him who I can't make out so I just ignore them.

I close my eyes, it's dark, then I see a tiny insect made of pure light slowly fly out of the darkness from the right heading toward left and it's leaving behind vanishing trails of light particles. It was beautiful. I open my eyes, I'm back in the same room, same situation, I close my eyes again. This time it's a butterfly made of light flying from the right to my left and everything else is dark. It's like closing my eyes and opening a third eye or something.

I open my eyes and look at the clock on the computer monitor and it reads 5:10 A.M. The real me went back to bed around 3:30 A.M. but couldn't get to sleep, so I probably dozed off around 4:30 or so. There's another clock beside the computer monitor and it reads 2:00 (AM or PM I am not sure). I take another look at the clock on the monitor and it is now 5:12 A.M. and I wake up. Immediately after waking up I looked at the clock and it was 6:29 A.M.
