memorable

Dimension Transportation:
It had something to do with dimensions. Possibly how one can cross before and enter new dimensions. It was all about the energy. It seems that birds can enter new dimensions at a higher energy. The dimension in particular had a pulsing orange color and had a yellow bird, likely a canary at its forefront.

Mysterious Place:
I was in some small room, it was a bit dark but there was enough light to see some of the equipment around. A couple of meters ahead and to my right, was a wooden door. It was open a bit and had no handle. On the wall next to it, was a wooden clock. It was all made of wood and had an octagonal shape. Everytime this clock ticked, the door would close a tiny amount eventually fully closing and likely locking me in the room. I had a feeling that I was in some sort of maze or some game and I had to reach the door before it fully closed. I made a leap to the door as the clock ticked a couple more time and forced my way through the door making it to the other side. I can only recall seeing a restroom at the wall facing the door which I decided to visit. I thought about taking a shower and I have just closed the door when I hear a scream and my mom comes in. I ask "What's wrong?" and she replies "that the bird has caught her white towel with his beak and dropped it on the floor"

Office Food?
I was sitting in some office building. The floor had greyish carpets and there was large windows behind me. I was sitting on a chair facing a computer terminal and had some co-workers sitting at the terminals to my left. I think the ceiling was white and there was a wall behind my terminal. The place was organized, such as every group of terminals had a wall blocking their view to the front, similar to a cubicle style, but, rectangular in nature. A friend's girlfriend comes over to me and asks me about chili paper(?). She wanted me to re-print it for her. I take her to a room down the hall and ask her for more details. Something about her not getting along with her teacher and the possibility of winning an award. I went back to my chair and gave it some thought. A co-worker who overheard some of the conversation asked me what she wanted and I told her the story. I think she said that I shouldn't. I was still considering printing it, since, I was considering the price.

Pharmacy Visit:
Something about a pharmacist and I think a guy wanting some medicine.

Thoughts: Hurray for REM rebounds Probably my best night for dream recall. I'm starting to wonder if the first and second dream are actually linked together or not since it's the same bird, kinda of like a story. The first two dreams seem to be interesting, since, I've only ever had one dream that involved the term dimension and I liked the atmosphere of the second(the dark room). I thought the bird being evil with the towel was pretty funny as well As for the third, not much to say, other than being really odd and seems to be mixing different ideas together

~Seems Like 9/11~
It seemed like my family and I were trying to get away from something coming. My mother, sister, and brother were there with me. We ran through these long halls to get out of a building. My brother had some kind of pet following us...it looked like a butterfly in a toy car. It was so slow compared to us, so I had to hold it and run.

We finally got out of there and headed to the nearest dock. Well, at least I think it was a dock. The small boat there looked like a suburban on water. Lol. It had left already, but the lady saw us and turned around. I had kind of smushed the butterfly by now...and it was in a puddle of its own...yuck.

The lady 'rolled down the window' and said, "Okay, time to get the noodles out!" (The floating toy noodles?) The boat had already floated near us so we just hopped on. As soon as I got in I remembered about my luggage. "Oh no, I left my bag in my room!" I shouted. My mom said, "Don't worry about it."

So then a few minutes later we had to stop for chicken fingers. (Wth?) We came to a small gas station looking place, and while my sis was getting the chicken; I looked up at the sky for a bit. I told my mother, "Whoa, Mom. Look at the sky." She did. The sky was all blue except for the smoke. There was smoke going out in 3 directions. One slanting left, one upwards, and one slanting right. I can't remember what we did after this and I woke up.

~The Candy Room~
I'm not sure how we got there, but a bad guy had captured my sister and I and put us in a warehouse of some type. I was able to look down and see my sister. She was hovering in something...I don't know what it was.
I think I was locked in a candy room; because there was a lot of unknown candy in there. I took one out, and it looked like those candies that you suck on in the shapes of fruit. It was a humongous decorated pack they were in. I showed my sister, and she said, "I can't see it!" Later on, I woke up.

July 9, 2010
Slept between 12:00a-9:00a

12:00a-4:00a
Really light sleep. Don’t recall any dreams. Entirely possible there was a false awakening or two that I didn’t catch. I decided that since I was having troubles with sleep, I would do the typical WBTB but not any subsequent alarms.

4:00a-9:00a
WBTB. Listened to a subliminal mp3 ninja made.

The long and winding dream
The first little bits of this are vague, but I remember visiting someone’s apartment and I was somehow able to let myself in. This is important only in that I tried to come back here, later, and couldn’t find it.

There’s also this little bit where I was feeling stressed and bought a pack of smokes (I’ve never been a smoker!).

Darren is playing a concert for a small group of us in a room.

He’s now sitting next to me and I say something retarded like, “I like watching you play, like chording. I’m kind of musical but not really musical.”

“How can you be kind of musical, but not really musical?” he asks. “You’re either one or the other!”

“I play the guitar and piano, self-taught, by ear, but not with any great skill,” I clarify.

“Very nice!” Darren says.

He has to leave for a bit, and asks for my help in signing some autographs while he’s away.

I tell him, “I don’t know how to forge your signature.”

“Oh, well just put stickers on all the ones I need to sign, then, and I’ll do it when I get back.”

I somehow manage to get stickers stuck to all of my fingers and have generally made a mess of things (I’m really clumsy in my dreams!).

Darren comes back and we leave together. We find ourselves in another building and at another party. We dance together, but in the course of this party, we learn that all of these people are criminals! Someone even tried to pickpocket my purse, but they weren’t very good. We got out of there as soon as we could.

We find what I thought were the apartments from earlier in the dream, but when we get upstairs, suddenly Darren is sat a table and all the other seats are full with other girls who are giggling over him. Darren just shrugs and gives me this look that says, “Can’t help it! Be patient!”

I overhear people chatting and they mention lucid dreaming. I’m pretty sure someone says, “Well, this IS a lucid dream.” I think to myself, “I know that this is a dream, but I don’t want to control this one, I just want to be with Darren,” and I woke up anyways.

In last night's dream I was someplace. We were at a huger version of my maternal grandparents place. There was like a reunion going on. All of my cousins except a half-cousin was there.I was eating chips with dip when suddenly a small (8 year old) version of my mom's family "baby brother" (my other uncle) appeared-but the real person and his wife were there (I think the small version is suppose to be an adopted-the real uncle&his wife has no kids either adopted or not). But this small version was super enthusiastic and went around shaking all his new cousins' hands. I was jealous since I had always been the baby of the extended family.

Key: Non-Lucid, Lucid, Commentary/Notes, Hypnagogic Hallucinations

To preface, this was one of the most vivid dreams in a real setting with characters from my own reality that I've ever had. Aside from some minor dream weirdness it was so very realistic.

It was a normal day. I was on my daily trip to the post office. Just as I turned the corner and approached the entrance I realised I had forgotten something. Damn it! I decided to go back and collect it and return to the post office later.

I was hurrying back when I saw two familiar faces coming the other way: two old friends L and S. I let on to them but I was in a hurry so didn't stop to chat. A short way down the road I ran in to another two old friends from my school days. Technically it was one old friend, R, and a guy I never really liked, G. This time I decided to stop and catch up with them.

They told me they were on the way to our old secondary school. Although they were in the totally wrong place and going the opposite direction. I asked them why and they told me that they helped out there. I wasn't clear on what they meant, but they said I should go with them and I agreed.

Next thing I knew we were in our old secondary school. We reminisced a bit.

We were standing outside of the main entrance and there were school kids all around in massive lines, shuffling along. It was hard to move. Some of my old teachers were standing around. One of my science teachers, Mr. M, one of my maths teachers, Mrs. H, and my design teacher, Mrs. M, were just standing around. I went up and said hi. We talked about stuff and they asked how I had got on since leaving school 7 years ago (Wow, it seems like forever ago now... I feel so old.) They were all so extremely vivid. I noticed that they were really tall and I had to look almost straight up to see their faces. They had to get on with whatever they were doing, so I said bye and walked back towards the entrance gate.

I ran in to another teacher who was a pretty regular substitute. I always got the feeling he didn't like me and so I was surprised when he let on to me and recognised me. We had a brief chat.

The next thing I knew I was talking with R and G again. We were standing on the edge of the playing field. We reminisced some more about our school days. I asked R if he had kept in touch with any of our group of friends from back then. He hadn't. I told him I was still in touch with our friend, A pretty regularly as we had attended college and uni together.

I asked for each of their email addresses. G didn't want to give it to me, but I didn't really care as I never liked him anyway. I wrote R's down on my hand it was something "@easyeasy.net" but I can't remember the first bit. I wish I could so I could send an email! I gave R my email address too. He tried writing it on his hand but the pen he was using didn't work, so I wrote it for him with my pen.

I used to write so much stuff down on my hands back in school -- they were always covered in ink. Interestingly I gave him my actual real email address and I wrote it down accurately and it was right! It was a bit of a mess, like I couldn't control the pen very well, but it was legible. I had to pause and check that I was giving him the right email address and I remember saying, "yeah... that's my real email address" as I was really struggling to get it right and write it down. I think that maybe it was a very good time to have done a reality check and tried to become lucid, but my dream self obviously didn't think so. Oh well, always next time.

Edit: And I just realised that the pen I was using was the same pen that I use (or should use if I could be bothered) to write in my hard copy dream journal. Nice detail.

i dont remember the beginning of this one, or even when i became lucid, sadly. im in a house, not mine, its really nice. im in the kitchen when i suddenly have the urge to go to space. for some reason i look at my leg, and imagine floating in space, and it works! i start to feel weightless, and it gets dark. i float outside of the house and see earth, about the distance from the moon.
i want to fly to it so i start to fly to it. then, everything blurs, like warp speed off of star trek or something. the experience was so exhilarating, i loved every second of it. i hurtled toward earth super fast, except i didnt burst into flames. i saw a strange continent, none like earth's. i flew toward it, somehow believing it was australia lol. i then realized that i was about to hit a building and the ground, so i pulled up fast. i then have a memory gap, i think i lost lucidity then. but i think i got it back, because later i was back inside the house, in the kitchen again, i had just come from someones room, there was a person in there, they followed me back into the kitchen, where i was gonna go back to space. but for some reason, i couldnt pull my shorts up to see my leg, so it didnt work. thats all i remember

this dream happened when i was nine. i was sitting on the couch watching t.v when someone knocked at the door. I got up and opened the door and saw no one but a hand giving me a colorful peice of paper. i was turning around to go back into the house but stppoed and went outside. when i was outside the door started to close i turned around and saw a guy with white hair and pale skin not like an albano but he was so beautiful and i ran to him without even think, but i was so happy to see him ive never seen him before but i loved him. and ever since that dream everytime i think of him i get butterflies. I have written poems about him and im writting a novel with one of my characters looking like him. I recently had a dream about him agian and im 15 its been 6 years since that first dream and it alway makes me wonder if he is really out there and if so has he dreamt of me.

I was waiting in cold, snowy weather for a bus-not a city bus but a coach bus. The bus came and picked me and some other people who were waiting for the same bus. But what like it seem half-way through the trip something happened-maybe a fight or something? Just before the 2 people sat back down-I reached over accross the asile-(I thought the person accross the asile was the person respoinsble for whatever happened but he wasn't) and put a hooky-do thing onto a screw or something and the person turned into an identical version of the other guy who was sitting up at the front 3 asiles in front of me-which when I realized my mistake and I was .

The next thing I knew the bus was at a hotel with a fountian out front. It was a very expensive hotel. The two indentical males started fighting with each other when they were still outside (they were both big-headed). When that was happening the rest of us went into the hotel. We were told to meet at the pools by 3:00. It was 3:00 and we meet by the pools and the (inscrutor/counseller/whatever she was?) called out are names-mind you we were all wearing swim suits (women were wearing swim suits when the men who were there were wearing trunks). We were missing a couple of people beside the two identenical big-head males). Suddnely someone who looked like my (in the head) version of Rita Skeeter (Harry Potter character first appeared in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and than again in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) appeared. She was looking at all of us but for some reason her eyes always kept coming back to focus on me. But mom woke me up shortly after this.

I was somewhere a kind of school/home/outdoor mall/aracde/theatre kind of place. I was suppose to meet people through a door near the back of the werid place. On my way back there I passed someone who helped a teacher in highschool. She was having lunch (or tea) at an indoor patio but I didn't stay at all since I was almost late for whatever I was going too. I found the door and the room was huge-twice the times of my high school's drama classroom. The room's length was 25 m by 10m. But the room had a bit of a homey feel. Everybody was on the floor but all of them were people I knew people from my elementary school and/or high school (I could tell who was who just because of skin colour&hair) but they left a spot for me on the floor. People were playing with a ball --I believe it was a soccer ball.

Than the room changed to the outdoors and we started playing soccer (it was girls vs. boys). My team won-even though I wasn't the captain of the team-but I did play in the game. I was the one who scored the winning goal the Captin of my team congratulates me. The boy team said the next time we play I should be on their team. But I said this: "Kate choose me for her team. So a team that plays together stays together."

The Room changed back into the homey-feel room and all of us were dressed in costumes. I have no idea why that was. We started throwing candy stuff around. I got something werid kind of like an Easter Egg but not an easter egg it was made to look like a skeleton (like Day of the Dad candy that people have way down south). But I blinked and it was gone the next second. Our costumes mysteriously vanished and then we started playing with a remote control car each of us was to have a turn.

Than the unseen teacher or whatever the person told us there was a play we were going to perform in. So she gave us all parts-but I like usually-(I should have seen it coming) got a boy/man part. Lockers suddenly appear behind us-its like the room was the RofR ((Room of Requirment)). We went to the lockers with our names on it. All I got was a maroon sweater. Which I put on than I got transported to the aracde area of the wacky place. I was with someonee else. But I was praticing my lines the person I was with said I should not have gotten this part it should have gone to someone else. I woke uo just after this happened.

Slept between 1:30a-9:30a

1:30a-5:00a
Dreams lost. I recall there being some retarded, repetitive thing having to do with a game show. I remembered it upon waking and forgot it by the time I walked to the washroom.

5:00a-6:30a
Moved to couch.

Cakes!
I'm at the grocery store with Jack, in the cake section. There were so many to choose from He pointed out this white one and said, "How about this one?"

"Ugh, no, it has fondant for icing, I can't stand fondant," I said (true story. I don't like fondant).

Wrong train
I was at the train station, trying to go to work. I felt really sleepy. I took the wrong train a couple of stops before I realized my error. I somehow "popped back" to the initial station I was at.

Warcraft -> Real life
I was playing my warcraft hunter, in pvp. This guy was running after me and I was trying to kite him. He came up from behind me and dragged me to the ground. I grabbed him by the head and snapped his neck. When I stood up, the scene was different. He was in uniform and we were both real life. He was paralyzed, but not dead. I shot him, but he still didn't die We were both kind of baffled. He asked me to shoot him a few more times. I shot him in 5 different places. He STILL wasn't dead, but he said it should be good enough. :morecry:

Beatles film
I'm watching the Beatles on film. Some black and white thing. John and George were the central focus and were surrounded by media, cameras, people. They were saying something, but the audio wasn't getting picked up, what with all the commotion.

Rachel
I was at a restaurant with some other work managers. Rachel got up to leave, but before she did, I gave her a huge hug (I just found out yesterday she lost her daughter a few days ago ). When I let go, she had turned into my mother.

6:30-8:00
Tried a WILD. Unsuccessful.

8:00-9:30
Huge chair statue
I don't remember much about this, other than I was on the phone with a DC and she was telling me about something I could find near the huge statue of a chair. Huge statue of a chair? I looked over and saw a very large statue of a chess board with two chairs

Police have cupcakes
I was feeling sleepy again, and mashed some buttons on my cell phone. This resulted in accidentally phoning the police. I told the dispatcher what happened and she told me to hold, she needed to elevate the matter to her supervisor. "But, it's just a mistake..." I try to say, but she cut me off.

The supervisor comes on and I repeated the same thing. "Okay," she says and is silent.

"So, what I'm saying is, I'm not in trouble, so I'm hanging up now!" I said. I hung up and looked around. I'm at the police station. There's a girl with a box of cupcakes. I can't decide on one, so she hands me this one that's like a chocolate chip muffin covered in pink buttercream icing

I found out that these are meant for new recruits. They think I'm a recruit! Do I have to give this back if I'm not? If I have to... do I eat it first and THEN say I'm not a recruit?

Rollerblade shoes
I'm in a store with Jack and Julia. I'm looking for rollerblades. Julia works there, but she's not on shift right now. She summons her co-worker and he sizes my feet.

"Your feet are too small for rollerblades," he declares. What? Really?!

Julia has an idea though. She goes into a storage locker and pulls out these wheels that are so small, they could fit a child's shoe. She says these clip onto my normal shoes and they become rollerblades. While I'm a bit skeptical at the overall function of the clip-on, I'm intrigued by the convenience!

Summoned Danny
I'm looking at this neighbourhood from a bird's eye view. I realize I'm manipulating a floating camera (but it's like I'm in the sky, first person). I passed by this incredible-looking white mansion and I want to see it again. No matter which way I turned the camera, though, I couldn't find it.

I decided to see if I could bring the camera to me and see myself. I did so, and this part was quite strange. I'm still viewing in the out-of-body camera, I float into the house and up to the glass doors where I can see myself standing in the room. I look off to the right and I see my face on the TV screen.

I assimilate whole behind the camera now, and I get the notion that I might be dreaming. I took the camera outside and threw it far up into the air. I took a couple of jogging steps, and pushed off the ground. Sure enough, I'm flying!

"What do you know, this is a dream after all!" I think to myself. I felt everything get a little unstable, but I thought, "Stabilize! Come on, I got this!" It did and I felt myself rise up in the air again without any force needed on my part. I started flying forwards and I remembered my goal to ask for Danny.

"Danny! Where are you? I need to see you!" I called out. Out of nowhere, I saw Danny flying towards me! "Oh my god, IT WORKED!" I thought. But my excitement at that woke me up

I was watching a man from third person view. He was sitting on a moving aircraft. It was a small flat plane and some parts looked as if they were made out of very cheap materials. The plane was now at a sunny place with red mountains and rocks. The pilot(I don't know where he/she fit) told the man to strap his seatbelt on. The man did that and the plane started turning and doing crazy stunts. It turned to a city then. I slowly got from third person to first person. I flew over the ocean to a city. I started thinking about lucid dreams and that I wished mine were always as clear as this real life (I thought). I also tried to get inspiration of flying for my lucids. It was vivid. I flew crazy stunty in the town. It looked somewhat like New York. I noticed some signs on the building that was like big plasma screens and they showed different people and such and they were all motion picture.
I finally landed and started walking down a street. The man was there and his wife. I told him I knew about his flight and that he had taken a drink while flying(forgot to write earlier). He was like "How do you know that!? :O" but I didn't explain. We went to what looked like the fence at my RL backyard. There was one small hole in it and we had to climb through it I think. My brother was there too. I tried to fit and noticed spider web. I tried to remove it. In the grass on my side I noticed a biiig spider. It was like 10 cm body. Then it started to rise up (it looked away from us) and it was the biggest spider I've ever seen except in movies. It would reach up to my thighs if it stood up. It had a big body and not so big legs. It's eyes were big too. It had a white pattern all over it too.
I didn't panic much but I didn't want it to attack me so I started waving my feet which were right behind it from side to side. I told my brother to drag me backwards because I didn't want to risk it attacking me while I tried to stand up. It slowly noticed me and turned around. It also noticed my feet and looked confused. My brother never came to help me.
I woke up because I was waving my feet IRL.

Also had some sc2 beta phase 2 dreams. One where I played the game and one where I had like a mission in the starcraft world.

The dream starts me off in the parking lot of my old neighborhood. I am going around looking for something to eat, so I go and grab some subway. The subway is there in the middle of the parking lot, out in the middle of the open with no building around it at all. I then remember ordering a chicken bacon ranch, then driving home and eating it at the same time.

________


I go with some buddies to Mellow Mushroom to drink a few beers and hang out. Don't remember too much of this one...

________

I am suddenly chasing after this kid on a skateboard, and I am on one as well. We start off in the parking lot, and end up right next to each other on the sidewalk. Ahead of us coming up are a couple of cars that are about to cross our paths, and I barely dodge one of them as I hauled ass passed it. The kid I was chasing wasn't so lucky and slammed into the car with a loud and satisfying THUD. With a smile on my face, I keep skateboarding down the sidewalk.

All of a sudden he shows up again in front of me, so I try and use my super-powers to slow him down and spin him out of control. Thats when I realized... I don't have any superpowers, I must be dreaming! I actually said "I am dreaming out loud to myself" to ensure myself. I gathered myself together as I let the kid I was chasing run off into the distance, and remembered one of my lucid goals. So I flew to the nearest woods I was by to face off with that pathetic excuse of a werewolf Jacob Black.

As I was flying over towards the woods, I could already see the body of a large brown bodied wolf chasing after my position in the air by foot. So, I sped up ahead of him and landed in front of him, making an effortless transformation into my own large gray wolf body. I could smell the musk of him, as well as see the anger in his facial expression as he ran on towards me. The sound of deep panting and his large paws hitting the ground was what I heard right before he made the first move.

Leaping onto my side, Jake's jaws were ferociously snapping together trying to go in for the kill. As I lie on the ground, one bite did clip me in the neck. Furious, I got up as quickly as I could and shoved him off. As he stood there for a second, I took my opportunity and lunged for a kill shot. As I leaped towards him, I pressed both of my large front paws onto his chest, toppling him over onto his side. After I recovered from my own leap, I got back up and stood over top of him. He was pinned, and it was time to end it.

I opened my jaws to show my teeth, and bit down on his neck as hard as I could and jerked from side to side.

Then I woke up. What pissed me off is that I never knew if he was going to be dead or not. Also, take note that the lucid dream actually very short, as all of it happened very quickly after I became lucid. I could have used sustaining lucid dreaming techniques, such as spinning or rubbing hands, but that would be somewhat hard in wolf form.

#944:
Date: July 6th, 2010
Length: 6 minutes

I'm not sure exactly why, but I enjoyed this dream a lot.


<Interesting to note -- in this dream, I "feel" like I'm a few years older, especially near the end, when the plot doesn't really make sense if I'm not older than I am>

The first thing I recall is running for my life alongside a couple other people, in an alleyway. Apparently a zombie infection has struck, and we're fleeing to safety. Some of the city has already been devastated. I spot a ladder to my right, and quickly climb up, to the top of some kind of skyscraper (yes, that would be quite the climb, but I don't think I actually experienced the climb). I reach the rooftop, and I think I'm alone for a while.

My recall is a bit blurry here, but I think I'm concerned that this building might collapse. It has another, slightly smaller building leaning on it. The top part of the leaning building seems to be built out of wood, and the ceiling is mostly broken so that I can see inside. I think there were a few people taking cover in there. I jump into there, and then get inside an elevator, trying to get to the rooftop of another building. The elevator shaft is diagonal rather than vertical, and I'm hoping that nothing is too damaged.

I press the button that will take me to the rooftop. After a long while, I'm still not there, and start wondering if I'll be stuck here and die like this, cursing myself for taking a stupid risk. Thankfully, though, the elevator doors open after a while and I find myself on a large, open rooftop, with a couple swimming pools on it. There are other people there, too. I settle near a pool at one edge of the roof, and set down a bag that I'm carrying. After a few moments, zombies start swarming the roof, having apparently climbed up.

Total chaos ensues. Most of the people don't seem to have weapons and get devoured. Armed with a shotgun and pistol, I manage to hold off the zombies that head towards me. In front of me, near another pool, I see a mother trying to protect her two children, a little boy and girl. The mother dies somehow (I don't actually recall seeing her die), but I see the children still alive, and quickly motion to them to come to me. They do so, and for a while I keep the zombies at bay, but soon they begin gaining ground and things are getting desperate.

At this point, I somehow freeze time. The zombies all stop instantly, though I think the children are not completely frozen. I start trying to figure out if there's a way we can escape from this situation. At this point I realize that my shotgun, my best weapon, is missing. I check in my bag, but don't find it. I wonder if I dropped it in the pool or something, but I can't see it. I ask the little girl (I think through telepathy?) if they have anything that might be of use, and she says they have a shotgun. I tell her that's good news, and I take a look at the weapon. It looks like an oval-shaped, purple alarm clock with several holes in it -- nothing like a gun, but apparently it is.

Before I can do anything else, a small group of people in suits arrive. It seems that time is not stopped anymore, but the zombies are just standing still. One of the people wearing a suit comes up to me, and he explains that the zombies are actually created and controlled by them. He offers me some kind of shady deal for my life, and I refuse. We end up in a close-quarters hand-to-hand battle, and I kill him. I don't recall this very well, but I think I kill several more of the people in suits, who each come up to me individually and try to bargain.

At some point, I agree to a deal, I think with a blonde-haired woman. I don't think she's part of the same organization as the others were, however. Still, I'm worried that she will try to double-cross me, but I figure I don't have much choice. The deal was basically this: I join them, and they will keep the children (and, technically, me) safe. Soon enough, I find myself with the children in a sort of limousine. Also there is a vaguely asian-looking woman with dark, long hair. She seems to be my age (that is, my age irl, 19), but in the dream I am apparently significantly older than her. She is in charge, it seems.

The limo stops, and we get out. We're in some kind of forest-like area, and we approach a lone building, some kind of outpost. There was something we had to watch out for here, but I don't recall if it was mines or zombies. Anyways, we go inside, and I'm greeted pretty warmly by a few people. Apparently these are the "good guys," a group of human survivors trying to rebuild. I chat with them for a while, and they show me my assigned bed, and those for the children.

After that, we start talking about what the group does. It seems that most of the world, at least in this area, has been devastated. Also, this whole disaster apparently started many years ago, so much so that among all these people, I'm the only one who was alive, or at least old enough to remember, in the world before the disaster. As such, I'm treated with a kind of marvel by the others, who are very curious about how things used to be. Apparently, a lot of the old technology has been damaged, and knowledge about how it works has also faded. The girl from the limo explains that teams of a few people are sent out each day to try to scavenge what they can, especially weapons (this brings to mind a sort of "vision" of a futuristic kind of gun which I guess we had "back then") to use against the zombies.

The girl from the limo then starts asking me if I know any programming languages. I tell her I know a few, and then we get into a long conversation about programming languages, and she's fascinated as I talk about some that she's never heard. Apparently this kind of knowledge will be of much use to them. During the conversation, completely seriously, I ask her if she knows what the Internet is/was, and she says she's heard of it but can't imagine it. We keep talking for a while, and apparently my duties will revolve around helping people rediscover/use technology. The dream ended with me feeling happy at how everything turned out.

i think this happened after the "playground" dream. i woke for a moment, then, there were stong vibrations in my chest, as there always are when i start to DEILD. i tried to visualize standing on a mountain looking down upon a city, being the Avatar, a character from a show. i wanted to fly down to it using a glider from the show. but i had trouble visualizing it and it ended up being an island with some sort of theme park on it, it was nighttime. i then saw Sonic the hedgehog standing with two other people beside him, and i decided to be him. the entire time before this, my vision was in the whole movie camera vision. i circled behind him and zoomed in, and became him. but i didnt want to be sonic, so i went into a booth that turned me into the avatar, but the entire time i was in third person. but when i turned into the avatar, i was too short, so i went looking for a stretching machine. i went a few spaces, and found a machine, and turned it on. it didnt work, and i thought "why not?" and tried it again. it worked this time, and made me taller, except it made me into myself. i then tried to fly, without a glider. it worked, except it made me disappear and reappear into someones room. they were watching tv. i think i then woke up, thats the last thing i remember.

I wake in the same position I fell asleep: opposite the way I normally sleep, this time with my feet facing the door. I perform a reality check while laying down, confirming I am dreaming. I attempt to sit up but have trouble. I notice a faint bluish glow come from a drawer near my feet. From it, a man appears.

He helps me stand while lucid for the first time in a while by teleporting me off the couch in my current position, as if the couch is what has been holding me back. I look at him, pondering his significant to the dream, and ask if he is willing in able to assist me in my lucid dreaming efforts. He nods very slightly and turns and walks through the door of my room which promptly shuts behind him as I begin to follow his footsteps.

The dream fades to black and I awake in a semi-lucid state on a beach where the sun is setting. I am carrying two surfboards and walking next to a beautiful woman who I understand to be a long-time girlfriend. We are sitting, but decide to stand up and walk down the beach where we find a more suitable spot. I lean in to give my lover a kiss but become paralyzed, waking almost immediately.
