    1. Friendly Tiger; Tourist Area; Treading Water

      by , 08-01-2011 at 05:05 PM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      Friendly Tiger

      I was at my Moms with a girl-friend. There was a friendly tiger in the room. It put its paw on me a couple times to connect with me. It was incredible, but I was terrified. My mom let it lick her entire face 3 or 4 times. Then my mom put on a T.V. special on Atlantis and we all started watching it.

      Dream skip: I had made some kind of a project for my first girlfriend.

      _____________

      Tourist Area

      I was driving down the road where all the shops were selling stuff as souvenirs. Someone next to me was wearing a giant paper mache (sp) giraffe head over his own head. He looked at someone else driving down the street wearing the same head.

      We made it somewhere where I was dropped off and directed how to get home. I started riding a skateboard on my stomach and made it to a place with a pool. Eventually someone directed me to hold my breath with my arms out for 10 minutes to conserve energy. I was of course able to take a breath, and then hold it again, relaxing with my arms out.
      I did so with my socks on. (?)

      There was a lady who liked me and I liked her, but it never went anywhere.

      I took Spirulina and B-Complex last night.
    2. Adventure in my school! Evil Villain, Lava, a poem and my little pony!

      by , 08-01-2011 at 03:25 PM (Shooting from the Sun: Solarflare)
      The dream started out with me talking to my dad about how i dont want to go to those 'help you learn' thingies like kumon . IRL, he never talks about kumon, but in the dream, he was telling me i should go. But i said no! The dream happened and i dont remember blah blah blah.... and......

      I was in a classroom writing a poem. I was with like 6 other people and the teacher, i dont know if she was there or not, she switched from going in the classroom and going out. She looked alot like a character that appears in one episode of a tv show i watched. I was writing the poem and soon i finished. I read it over and realized it was pretty dark and evil. It had a lot of swear words, like a LOTTTTTTTTTTT! And soon i was like to my friend:

      ''yo, my has so much sware words!''

      but he didnt reply. Soon the teacher opened the door to the hallway, went into the hallway and said ''TIME FOR ASSEMBLY!'' and slamed the door so hard!

      Soon we were in the assembly, but i realized , i could write the poem and fix up all the unnecessary swearing if i get it and write the poem while in the assembly. So i got the poem and i was sitting on it so the teacher who was near me couldnt see what it was. SOon i dont know what happened, but i was in the front of the crowd and the girl with the mic was talking about how good we did blah and to show us how good we did, she would show us a vid. A tv appeared near me an My Little Pony came on. The theme song was different so i was sad it wasnt the same show, but it was! ^^

      Twilght was confronting a human and fluttershy was behind her. Below them on another platform, was pinkie pie and some other pony (Rarity i think). And below them on another platform was 2 unnameable ponies, they were irrelevant to what i was doing in the dream, so i didnt bother to see what ponies they were. Twilight was yelling at the human and.......

      Stuff happened i dont remember and the human was controlling all the school. BUt the school looked nothing like the school. Ity looked totally different. It was more like an evil castle. We were trying to escape (me and one of the people i wrote the poem with) and the human was trying to stop us.

      I dont remember much of this part, but i know it had a story behind it that i dont remember. I will tell you what happened in fragments not in chronological order, because i dont remember all of it and i dont know the order it happened

      ____

      I was on a wooden platform and it was moving by itself. THere was lava below. We fell in and died

      We spawned back to life in the main room

      Now that i think about it, i dont remember anything that happened during the human took over everything

      But, after the human took over everything, we exited the school and said, that was the best game ever!

      the end :3

    3. Noche de los Muertos

      by , 08-01-2011 at 02:54 PM
      Inception style dream happened to me last night and had me pretty hooked. It began with a false awakening, of course I took no note to the oddities of my room and left to my garage (the hangout in my house) to find several close friends, family members and acquaintances gathered there. I remember a couple of them, particularly my step mom Laura and her son Jeffree wanted me to stay but the majority of the crowd just told me to go back to bed. So I did. Upon doing so moments later I had another false awakening, once again taking no notice of the now even stranger room I was in, and left into what I thought would be my living room. I (gotta love dream logic) walk into a completely different house from my bedroom without noticing anything is amiss and find a few of the people who were in my garage the previous night. I begin telling them "Oh my gosh you guys, I totally had a pre-cognitive vibe about this. I saw you in my dream last night." A young chubby girl asks me what that means, and what I assume is her mother cuts her off and answers, "it's hard to explain." Which may simply be bad parenting. Anyway I think it was right about here I either realized I was dreaming and tried to wake myself or simply found myself in another false awakening, but I was now in my bed again. Unsure, if I was really awake I try holding my nose, "I'm still breathing!" I shout in my mind and try blowing really hard through my nose to jar myself awake. I knock myself off the bed and assume that it worked;it didn't.
      I left the bedroom and went into the living room and find now that several of my close friends, a couple family members, and even total strangers are having some kind of slumber party at my house. I go up to my friend Jon and excitedly start telling him about the dreams I'd just had. In my excitement I began speaking very loud and was shushed more than once. So I try pulling him into our garage which has a view of our neighborhood, as I open the door a large stranger of Mexican decent approaches and says something in regards to what I was telling my friend. His comment makes me realize the fact that I felt very much like I was on a psychedelic drug at the moment. So I get even more excited with what I was telling my friend. We get into the garage and I see a parade in the streets about to start. The people from my house tell me it's for the day of the dead and as it starts I completely forget about telling anyone anything and run like a madman, or a child, through the cars and the parade, and the fireworks. I forget how it happens but soon after that I awaken one last time. Thinking to myself, "I wonder if that day of the dead stuff last night was real." I check the street through my window and sure enough the decorations are still up, and my street is still a mess. but no one is outside this morning. I go to the bathroom, as per usual. And I notice my body is covered in strange bumps. This shakes me up quite a bit, so I finish up my business and go to ask my mom what she thinks of it. She sees only one at first and thinks it's nothing, but the notices that there are many, and a weird look comes up on her face. We begin talking about my upcoming doctors appointment and...that's all I remember.

      As a side note, there were more awakenings where I just stayed in my bed and tripped out on whether I was awake or not. One of which there was recording equipment near my bed playing some kind of message recorded by what I assume was the previous owner. In another I used the chance for visuals to play some Assassins creed, literally within my mind. Also throughout the course of the dream there was an eerie feeling of some kind, difficult to describe.

      Thebeastofold's Dream


      Invisible writings...


      I was standing on the window opening of a very large old castle type giant hall, there was a huge off blue mat covering most of the floor, kind of like a gym mat, and it appeared as if i could see into it..strange illusion, i realized I had a strange looking flashlight in my hand, kind of like the ones used in the CSI shows to show hidden blood spatter... i turned on the flashlight thing and i could see hidden drawings etc on this huge mat...it took me a minute, but i realized it was Windhovers drawing of Chichen-Itza! i almost became lucid..almost...i floated down to floor level and saw my mother running around the room with a handful of rags in one hand, and a can of foaming bathroom cleaner in the other and she seemed like she was going to wash the mat....i stopped he momentarily and told her there was something on that mat i needed for some reason...and she said to me: well it has to be shaken first anyway, then my father appeared and started trying to roll up the mat and said, i'll shake it, i always shake it...and i stopped him and unrolled the mat...i rturned on the flashlight thing again and tried to read the hidden drawing and whatever messages were written around the edge of it, then i noticed my mom trying to climb a ladder and i thought she was going to spray the cleaner from the air, and as i went towards her she floated back to the ground passing right through the ladder and started running around the room again, this went on forever, her trying to clean the mat and dad trying to take the mat outside to shake it, and mom trying to climb the ladder and passing through it on the way to the floor...over and over again....then i decided to climb the ladder to get a birds eye view again, as i climbed up i woke up......

      Anthromorphic humanoid surfer mouse?!?!

      i was sitting infornt of the computer in moms office, just like i am right now......and i started watching a strange commercial on youtube, it was an anthronorphic humaniod mouse with bushy blonde hair, like a surfer mouse and he kept saying over and over again, "i dont know how it happened, it was just put there!" and the video would switch to a human hand placing a mouse sized dome shaped house on the ground somewhere, and the mouse guy standing nearby with his hands on his hips like he had no idea where it was coming from or why.....and everytime this commercial would loop, my dad would stick his head around the corner and grin at me, then hed w3alk away..the commercial would repeat again and hed stick his head around the corner ansd grin at me....this repeated about 5 or 6 times theni woke up......

    5. Holidays

      by , 07-31-2011 at 04:07 PM
      I dreamt that I was watching some television program about the origins of various holidays. This was a rather strange dream, because in it I was male and had a sister. I wasn't lucid at all during this, but I had a false awakening, where I dreamt that I woke up after about 15 minutes of sleeping and recorded the dream in this journal.
    6. Catastrophic dream space? | Sunday 31st July 2011

      by , 07-31-2011 at 02:56 PM (Beyond the Horizon)

      I am with a bunch of random people in an airfield. There is some sort of small, insignificant explosion happening about 50 metres away.
      It doesn't seem dangerous, and is making some cool patterns in the air. I am recording it with my camera. We are driving in a tour bus, that has no roof or sides. Similar to a luggage carrier.
      Then, while looking at the screen of the camera, one of the patterns travels close to us.

      Everyone just chuckles. Then one flies and hits one of the passengers. We all scream, even though she is okay.
      We speed off. The area is really flat.
      At one point I am off the bus, and it continues to travel with everyone else to escape the explosion, even though it's stopped.
      I am with two familiar dream characters. Their house was in a previous nuclear disaster dream I've had.

      This current dream is happening sometime after that dream, so they have rebuilt and are happily doing things around the house.
      The woman shows me something that the guy had made around the back of the house.
      There were 5 dummies, that looked very lifelike, lined up on a little ridge of grass. The woman pressed a button and there were explosions underneath the dummies. They were intact.

      Later I am inside the house, and I am at a bedside. On the bed is my grandma I didn't know it then, but I was to visit my grandma while she was in hospital for the first time, today.
      Next to the bed there is a switch that rotates. I twisted it, and the colour balance of the room changed. The switch had a scale of warm orange to cool teal. That must be the cinematographic part of me
      Then I am outside with the two people again, driving along the straight road near the house. On one side of the horizon there is a massive fog cloud. Something to do with the airfield explosion earlier.
      I think it caused some catastrophe, like what normally happens at this dream place. I wasn't too worried about them this time.

      Did I just discover the place where my subconscious tries to deal with catastrophes in my life?

      The other end of the horizon had a massive storm system that was going to have tornadoes. As if this was Tornado Alley in America.
      We were debating which way we should take our chances with. We decided for the new fog-related disaster. I've been through the tornado storm before. And it's still there.

      We go over a small hill and there is a really long highway bridge over an expanse of water. The fog shrouds the other end of the highway.
      I am driving. We head onto the bridge. There are lots of obstacles on the bridge, including a small, yellow oncoming car that stopped.
      I can't remember what happened immediately after that, but I woke up not long after.

      After reading this, I can relate half the elements in the dream to things that are happening in real life, and the other half to things that happened today, after the dream.

    7. A Recurring Nightmare

      by , 07-31-2011 at 11:38 AM (Pickle's Nightly Subconscious Activities Recorded in a Journal)
      Hello DV community, this is a story of a recurring nightmare that occurred over time when I was young. First I'll set out the background.

      I watched Teletubbies growing up. Those round, TV bellied, aerial-on-head gods were the greatest thing in my childhood. I had the toys, the videos and I watched it every time possible. And one day, they showed and episode that stopped me watching Teletubbies. The Lion and Bear. If you Google "Teletubbies the lion and bear" you will find the controversial clip. There was a Lion, that chased this bear, roared so loud that the clouds moved and trees shook. The Teletubbies were scared. So who else was scared? You got it, their number one fan.

      The dream began with me on my bedroom floor. In reality, I wasn't far from the bed, but it felt like miles. I got up. My legs were weak, and they shook. Then I heard a growl I heard watching TV a few hours earlier. The world shook. Through my bedroom door came the Lion. (Somewhere in my subconscious I knew it's name was simply "Lion", not "The Lion") It came towards me at high speed. My room wasn't big, but images of the lion chasing the bear flashed in my mind. My heart raced. I couldn't talk. It hit me.

      I woke up, and ran through to my parents room.

      So, as I said, this dream was recurring. From then on I just curled up into a ball and never moved. But I couldn't wake myself up. Eventually my curiosity took over. I stood, and was mauled down again. These passed after some time. There was another dream involving Lion that occurred once, however.

      It began with a false awakening. I went downstairs, and at the table were two babushka dolls the size of people. I knew they were my mum and dad. Lion appeared. This was some time after the recurring dreams, I felt like I had some power over him. I pleaded for him to change them back, but he roared, and spoke. I had to make a promise to them.

      I looked at the doll that was my mum. I promised her that I would always do baking with her. (Baking cakes was a common thing she did, and offered me the opportunity to help but I always turned it down). I looked at my dad, who, at that time I wasn't exactly closest family with. I loved him, and he was my dad, but it just didn't feel right. So I looked at the corresponding doll and promised I'd always hug him. They changed, and I awoke. I lay in bed for some time thinking about that dream, but then I went to sleep.

      I think that last one may have been helpful... as I've always tried to help bake stuff and spend time with my dad. The babushka dolls probably appeared because my uncle had one but I thought it was creepy.

      Thanks for taking the time to read my first entry!
    8. It's a war, but for what?

      by , 07-31-2011 at 04:31 AM (Alone With my Mind)
      -These are fragments I remember over the course of last night. For some reason they seem connected, and were all extremely vivid and/or memorable.

      Red.

      Red rock, everywhere.

      I can only see silhouettes of them. People fighting.

      Is that pink I see? Why are those men wearing pink? I can't see anything.


      -

      "King, sit down, and sign the treaty, now!"

      He sits down, and stares at the strange array of pens lying in front of him.

      Noticing a movement in the corner of his eye, he blasts the ground with ice. Nothing was there but the blue, solid floor.

      I remember I have a gun, so I point it straight at him, but he vanished as quick as he appeared.

      -

      Lying in a deep trench, I aim the energy cannon straight up.

      I fire blue orbs of raw power at the men climbing down the ladder, and the cliffs above me rain dust into my eyes.

      The dream fogs up.

      I reload, and notice one of my friends have fallen. I help her up, realizing she's covered in dust.

      Others have already taken the energy cannon and are firing at enemies.

      I guess I decided to take my friend back home, because of the next dream.

      -

      I'm in a yellow room, and someone in the shower asks me to toss her some soap.

      The bathroom smells of antiseptic, and it makes me a bit dizzy as I slip the soap behind the curtains.

      I leave the room for a few moments, and when I come back she is fully dressed and about to leave.

      The shower is still running though, so I run to the bathroom and open the curtains. To my surprise, my brother is taking a shower in his underwear.

      "What are you doing here?" I ask.

      -

      I woke up to my brother and mom opening the room asking me to get up for breakfast.

    10. 11th Shared Dreaming Attempt-Thebeastofold's Dream

      by , 07-30-2011 at 07:18 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      (Thebeastofold's dream)

      I had 4 dreams in a row last nihgt, no lucid however...


      Tons of beef jerky.

      I was in a large strange house, and i walked outof what was apparently my room and went down stairs, my Mother was in the kitchen and there was a huge pile of bags of beef jerky on the counter, i went to grab one and mom said "your sister and neice will miss those..better not...so i headed back upstairs, and saw beef jerky bags everywhewre, stuffed in and behind everything...i saw about 10 bags stuffed behind a toilet, and decide they wouldnt miss these, so i grabbed them and went back to my room, my dog was aslewep on the bed, and one of my late cates was wandering inthe hallway, i grabbed him, hugged him and put him in my rrom on the bed, i saw my laptop on the bed and everytime i tried to open it, i saw another of my late cats i the hall, the door was open even tho i closed it everytime i grabbed a cat, after 3 or 4 cats, i started eating the beef jerky...i noticed then it was bridgeford jerky..it tasted really good.


      i walked out of a large house, similiar to the one in the previous dream, and met a couple girls, or i should say ladies, heading dow the same path as I, i grabbed one of them by the hand and started leading them down a path beteen a bunch of really huge house embedded inthe hills surounding this huge courtyard surrounding us...we got to a large gnarled tree inthe center, and i noticed smoke in the distancecoming up from behind a pyramid ressembling chichen itza(SP?) ..but i couldnt tell the ladies for some reason, one lady was taller than the other and they were talking as if they were old friends..or sisters...finally after they both ran in circles trying to point something out to each other, they finally noticed the smoke and when i looked back it was just over the hill instead of in the distance.....the taller ladygrabbed my shoulder and said oh lord look! and she spun me around and the house to my right starte burning abruptly from the inside out and crumbled to glowing ash, i kept spinning and everytime a house came into view it did the same thing....by this time the ladies were laughing hysterically...


      i was at a party or get together in what looked like my dining room, only it was open completely except for the wall of a bulding next door...i realized i had to go to the bathrrom so i wandered away to find one, i walked past a long building and came to a small field with people throwing softballs around, they were wearing what looked like softball uniforms, i walked to the back part of the field, found a dead end and started back, i abruptly got hitin the face by a softball, i picked ip up and tried to toss it back to the lady who threw it, but it weaghed a freakin ton...it kind of rolled to her, i said "what is it lead lined?!?!" and she said well, kind of, theni noticedit was a miniature medicine ball.....as i walked back i came across a guy asking a lady where the bathroom was, i noticed he was standing infront of it..so i went around him and closed and locked rthe door....i went aound a small turn and there were no walls, just a toilet on the edge of a huge open field...i started unbuttoning and the guy started banging on the door harder and harder, i looked around the corner and the doorknob was slowing sliding out of its hole...and so were the hinges..i ran back and pounded the knowb and hingepins back in with my hand..i went back to what i was doing, and couldnt go through with it, i realized if i peed in the dream i might pee in real life.,...and i really didnt want to wet the bed ive had dreams like this all the time......so allof a sudden he was trying to puth the knob and hinge pins out again....so i ran back to the door and pushed thm back in again and held them there and i yelled are you trying to tellme something?!?!?! he said, youere dreaming pal, youre dreaming......a vision of a bright orange porta-a-potty popped into my mind...



      my mother and i were standing ona street corner in what looked like china..we started walking across the street in a large crowd and i started heading to a hat shop on the other corner, but mom grabbed my arm and we ended up waling around a strange open air mall with mall type storefronts with no front walls..strange.....we started back because once again, i needed to find a bathroom....we walked a bit and i found one, the door had both pictures on it men and women, and the word ALL above the pictures...i alked in and closed the door, and there was 7 or 8 different kinds of urinals in the middle of the room all facing each other, and filthy...i realized one again if i went in the dream i'd probably go in the ral world, so started loking around the room and noticed about 20 toilets inside a small room with like a 3 foot door in one wall, i grabbed one toilet and it slid out on a track of somesort on rollers, there was a large coin box mounted on the front edge of the bowl so youd have to straddle it to sit down..i pushed it away and noticed a shelf along the riight wall by the door full of strange canding and odd looking pastries...i started reaching for a few then realized how gross tis all was and went over to the sink to wash my hands, i pushed the soap dispenser and powder came out...i wiped it al over my hands and when i dumped into the trash, my hands were perfectly clean...as i walked outthe door, there was a small box of trinkets on the edge of the shelf by the door, i reached in and grabbed something and walked out, when i got out i looked at what i had grabbed and it was a weird semi-3d plastic keyfob, an image carved in it so if you looked at the other side it looked 3d of a creature that looked like half woman half lion..strange...and the keyfob had a college name on it of some sort...cant remember what tho...and there was was about 7 or 8 key covers hanging from it...we started walking away and mom said "you never planned to try college one way" I woke up....

    11. The End of The World

      by , 07-30-2011 at 05:00 PM (My dream journal....)
      7-28-11

      I hardly remember this one. I don't know where we were, but i think it was the Mall of America. there are a couple of visions of waiting in line. I think there was a bunch of chaos (but domestic chaos, like huge crowds and movement and stuff...). Anyway, the most clear part of the dream is this:

      I'm on the roof of (or parking lot of) the Mall of America or something. I know my mom is there, and I think there's tons of other people too. We're all watching the sunset. The sky is very orange. All of a sudden, we see a rocket come from behind us from the left. It crashes (?) somewhere over the horizon. Then there's an enormous explosion. A huge wall of red and black debris starts flying towards us. Just as I hear people about to panic, I hear my mom shout, "It's the Apocalypse!" because in the dream, that was how the Bible said the world would end (even though it doesn't really say that in real life...).

      I'm really scared, and i start half praying, half freaking out because I don't know if I'll go to Heaven or Hell. The next part is just an enormous blur. Then, I open my eyes and see the ground all charred. But everyone is still alive.
    12. Tenerife, Holland, Cash collecting

      by , 07-30-2011 at 12:58 PM
      30-07-11 I am on a trip in Holland. First of all Holland has turned in to an archipelago connected with numerous bridges each island effectively having some degree of autonomous control.

      I rent a quad bike to go driving along the coast lines of these islands to really see Holland. I brag to my cousin about this.

      I go driving, sometimes close to an edge where there is a long fall down. The horizon seems limited or narrowed in at these times. It is dark.

      I sometimes make extreme jumps out on to the bridges, these bridges are something else. Long narrow (very narrow) wooden suspension bridges (you know, Indiana Jones style). Brief fearfulness of missing is ever present, but I never do.

      At one point I make a jump over an edge and land on another island. I am immediately warned that I am trespassing and only people owning 7 bicycles can pass or stay on the island. I get fined.

      I drive back to safe territory and speak with Ruth, who is at work and Ida is there with her. After explaining the situation she sends me an email with what I am to write to the organisation that manages these situations (It is the same she is in). First in Dutch, then English, so I do that. It explains that I am living with her at the minute and was unaware.


      I am on Tenerife and the weather is sunny and bright. I am being guided by a Mediterranean guy who is trying to close the gap between fundamental Muslims, Christians and the general population. He is telling me about these circular buildings on top of walls that we go visit.

      The roof of these buildings can actually be taken off to let in the light. The complexes themselves seems filled with people wearing turbans drinking coffee and smoking pipes.

      As we exit one of them he is talking and talking explaining something, but I don't really listen. I pretend and feel that I should tell him something like; Listen I want to hear you, but since I missed the start it is difficult. I just let him talk.

      At one point we come to a church like structure (we later come to what the guide refers to as “the church”) I feel really happy when I see the spires, which are excessively tall and twisted towards the top, they look beautiful.

      We then come to “the church” and my guide starts laughing unable to stop himself. He explains that the only thing they actually use their church for nowadays is the bus station and he points at a small black shed, currently empty where you would order your tickets.

      I go towards the area I presume the buses would be in and start looking up the amazing twisting spire. For some reason I become almost euphoric at the sight.

      Some mates of mine from elementary school come to greet me. It is all the people a year above me I first became friends with after school. I am pleased to see Lars S doesn't hold a grudge from our last encounter. N is there. Reza is bullying a bit, but I decide that now we are all grown up and I am significantly larger than back then I give him some back and he soon lays off.

      Lars starts singing. I go to the rooftop of an adjacent building to marvel at the spire from higher up. I then hear Lars continue the singing. He is singing about cookies, coca cola and alcohol and water in the tune to “Beauty school drop out” from Grease, sometimes in tune with the melody other times as an extended talk about cookies that doesn't fit the melody unless you listen to the entire rant. I am laughing, but I somehow struggle laughing because I find it funnier than my body is actually expressing.

      Lisa is there and we talk a bit about how things are going and I think it is her that asks me if I am seeing someone.


      I am at a house. I walk out and press the doorbell. It is blue and I have an instinctual hunch that I will get money from pressing it. Someone appears in the window and I explain my hunch. She gives me money by letting the light on the doorbell button light up.

      My friend express admiration for my foresight.

      The entire dream is about me walking around looking out for blue things, including a quite wondrous specimen of blue flowers, plastic from the inside of fizzy drink caps and any other bluish colouring of the surroundings.

      In the end I find myself staring down a road looking at the incoming rain. It is mild at first but gain in strength, I am looking at the drops as they bounce from the road. The space between them become less and less.

      A wind start sweeping in from the left. and I start making my way back towards the village counting the blue caps I have collected so far, after first having just stood and just felt the rain and wind for a while.

      Date: July 28th, 2011
      Length: 10 minutes

      This was a very odd, quite long dream. It had a bunch of different segments and my memory of it has faded a bit (not to mention I can't read half the stuff I wrote), but the overall idea was this: myself and a few other people were under the effects of some kind of curse that would, after a week, erase us out of existence. For some reason after this happened we would be forced to relive the final day again and again, groundhog day style. The dream basically consists of me reliving the day repeatedly, although each day is completely different and happens in a different place. My chronology of the whole dream is a bit funky, but I've tried to put it together in the way that makes most sense. I really hope this isn't totally confusing/unreadable, but it's pretty hard to explain.

      <I don't remember much of this part, but I think I was walking with a few people, one of which was my friend from the start of the dream, and my notes say something about an old woman -- I think she's the one who cursed us>

      After that I'm with a friend of mine, and we're going to a reunion of old school friends. Just before going into the house where the reunion is happening, I look at a paper sign on the window mentioning Anna, a person I knew when I was really really small and had all but forgotten about. I stop for a moment to think about this, then some people inside see us and quickly invite us in. I see a ton of people I used to know, and greet them all warmly.

      I find myself in a different place, still with my friend. It's the last day, and we're both fully aware of it. My friend is pretty panicky and seems to have some last minute ideas on how to remove the curse, but I think we both get erased from existence, although I don't remember this part too well.

      In another "last day," I'm at my old high school, and I'm frantically searching in the library for any books that can help me get more information about this curse and removing it. I find a book with some interesting symbols/runes that I try to memorize in hopes that they will be useful. I also talk to someone (J.) about my situation -- he's sympathetic but doesn't really have much he can do to help.

      At some point, I have a sort of revelation about how to beat the curse, but it's also just a few moments before the day ends. I run up to the roof of the school, and there are two sort of machines (they looked like vending machines) that I'm trying to get to. However, this sort of large witch-looking person appears and attacks me, trying to block me from getting to the machines long enough for me to get erased. She's very strong but I finally take her down. I'm not sure exactly how (from the machines, I think? or was it something I found on the witch?), but I find out some sort of secret password that I can use on a computer to remove the curse. The password was composed of several of the emoticons ":{" and "}:". I think the password was "}::{" although I also remember thinking it was 6 characters, so maybe not.

      Anyways, I realize that I'm about to be blotted out of existence and don't have time to type the password, so I write it down on a piece of paper which I will somehow be able to access when I relive this day. Suddenly everything goes pitch black -- I'm completely gone, although in a sense I'm still aware. The day then restarts, and I get the piece of paper where I wrote the password. I think it takes me a while to remember what it was for, but I succeeded in removing the curse once I figured it out.

      Nonetheless, I relived a different version of the day, where I was once again trying to remove the curse but had found a different way. It was night time and I was in the streets of some suburb, once again running out of time. I sprinted to a house which was owned by an old friend of mine. I quickly went to his room, and he seemed to know all about my situation and how to remove the curse.

      He told me I only had a few minutes left, and proceeded to deploy a small basketball hoop that was on a wall of his room. He handed me a a ball and showed me where to stand -- all I had to do to remove the curse was make one free throw from here before my time ran out. I shot maybe like eight times, and missed every single one. For some reason, I just couldn't hit the shot, even though the basket wasn't far away. The ball usually just hit the left side of the rim. I looked back at my friend and asked him for help: suddenly, a pure white aura appeared around his eyes, and some sort of white energy went towards me. I absorbed it (I think I might have swallowed it?) and immediately felt better, then made the free throw.

      As the ball went through the net, I exhaled and felt a very strange but pleasant sensation. It was like my entire body/tension deflated as the curse was removed from me. I fell back onto the bed behind me, and suddenly saw all the events of the dream (or at least, what seemed to be the events of the dream) flash backwards in time very quickly before my eyes. The last thing I remember is something about an old woman, apparently named Ann Parila. I think I woke up after that.

    14. Driving to Bailee's house

      I don't remember the beginning of the dream, but I'm pretty sure it was one of my sister's softball games. All I know was that my friend, Bailee was there. It was dark out and it was storming really hard, because i remember seeing "rain-devils", or dust-devils made out of rain...

      But anyway... the part(s) I remember:

      I was sitting in the backseat of the car and my mom was driving. We were going to Bailee's house, but I felt like I was the only one in the car. It was really dark and it was storming hard (this added a sense of chaos and urgency). I saw a ton of rain-devils. i was probably scared, but i don't really remember. Then I looked at my mom and wondered if she fell asleep. I know I was scared at this point. I kept looking at the road and then back at my mom to see if she was asleep. Even though she was right in front of me, it was like if I looked at the back of the seat I was actually looking at her.

      All this went on for a couple minutes. Then, I looked at her seat and she slowly opened her eyes. It turns out she was asleep, and not even looking at the road! She didn't even know she was driving (or supposed to be)!! Then that whole scene changed and I was at some town with my sister's softball team. Bailee wasn't there. We ended up here because that's where my mom drove us to. We knew that Bailee's house was East, up the road (or atleast I did) and we were sorta on the East side of this town. It's strangely sunny and calm. There was and orange sense, like this might be earlier in the morning. We all walk west up the road. We find someone (The Mayor wearing a blue suit?) who is surrounded by a few other people. We ask him (them?) what town we're in. He says something, but i don't hear him. We walk away, back towards the car. I keep thinking I'm going to have to drive (we still (for some reason) need to get to Bailee's house). Then I ask my sister what the Mayor said. "Farville." Then my alarm went off...

      Notes...

      The town (Farville) scene had a feeling of being lost, and maybe a hint of sadness. It was gloomy.

      I am walking through a city with my dad. It's sunny out. The buildings are in the style of some clock tower. I don't see my dad, but I know he's there. I see Roger Zare walking through the city on a sidewalk. I run up to him, because in real life, I've met him before. I say Hi and he just stares at me weird, like he's never met me before. He says Hi back, but just keeps on walking...

      Notes...

      I might have actually been on some college campus.

      The grass was very green and it was a "perfect" day.
