20 Years to Life (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Spooky-ass dream. I started out in this mansion-type place, where my ill grandmother was preparing to die. I was in Morocco, I guess, though it was more of an island setting. My grandma begged to die, pleaded with me that I shoot her. What else could I do? I pulled the trigger.

The dream skipped to the streets of Morocco (which was a surprisingly small town), where I was vacationing with my familiy. We were touring the streets and all that. We were stopped at a traffic light. All of a sudden, a bunch of people came out and started painting the lights with candy. This one old lady was carrying caramel-dipped things that looked really good. She was offering to sell them. One of my obnoxious co-workers, who was also in Morocco apparently, bought one. I, too, got one. I had left my wallet back at the hotel room, and so could not pay properly. Instead, I pulled a fiver out of the big wad of cash I was keeping on me. The money was probably from the books I sold back in real life not too long ago. There was a bit more driving around with my father, almost missing stop lights and such.

The dream skips to this tacky little room. It was all concrete, but the ceiling was painted in bright red checkerboards. There was a big dip toward the middle left of the ceiling, which appeared to be impossible to move. I had been served with my papers for murder. It was a thick packet, and I was waiting for someone to explain it to me. This one kid who had been serving for the past six years on a prisoner ship in the middle of the ocean was also there. He seemed to have certain psychic powers. When I asked why he did not run away, he said that the consequences of being caught would have been far worse.

The dude in charge of my papers came in. He took me aside and explained what all the numbers meant. It looked like I would be serving the maximum sentence for murder (20 years), instead of the 6 years they had marked if I was good. They indicated that I was highly unlikely to get any sort of pardon or sentence cut. I, too, would be imprisoned on a ship. Now I was starting to panic. A risk analysis indicated that my life was over, and I should either a) kill myself, or b) escape.

The scary man left, and my mother walked in. I told her the bad news, and she immediately started talking cost. How much would it cost to start a new life, all that. I told her that I didn't know, but suggested that it would be a good start to hop down to the airport and hop a flight on whatever plane was going out first. She said, "I don't know." There was a bit more grappling, and then the dream ended.

Survivor and Pokemon (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was stranded on an island with about eight other people. There was a kid, and he had a Gameboy Advance. I think he was playing a pokemon game. I remember wondering where he kept getting the batteries for his game, but never got lucid off of it. So, I took out my gameboy and started playing my pokemon game. I wanted to battle the kid, so I started training. Too bad my team was utter crap. Yeah, needless to say, I lost the game. It was a short dream, really.

Time-Stopping and Human Sacrafice (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Okay, this dream was cool. I was sitting around in a cave. These two strong guys approached me and started explaining stuff. Somewhere in the caves, a group of tribal wingnuts were preparing to sacrifice my sister. They gave me a couple of gun-like things. Each gun stopped time in a different way. I would have to use them to reach the crazy tribal people in time. I took off running in what I thought was the right direction. One of the guys grabbed the back of my shirt and told me there was a faster way.

As I was hurling toward my sister down an icy slide, I thought it would be good to familiarize myself with my time-stopping weapons. I had stopped time once before, but there was apparently a better way to stop it. I switched out guns and fired the new one. All of time hung perfectly still, except for myself. I was stuck in one position on the slide. I could think and move a little bit, but my body was as frozen as the rest of the world. This purplish mist seemed to hang in front of everything. Then the effects wore off, the mist faded, and I resumed hurling down the slide.

I touched bottom and immediately began sprinting. I could hear the tribal freaks chanting, and I saw one lift a knife above his head. My sister had been brainwashed, and did not struggle to get free. I fired my weapon once more, hoping to buy a little time. There was nothing more than a muted click, though. I swapped out weapons again, took aim, and fired. Then the dream ended.

Long California Warp Dream (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I started out on the last leg of a road trip. My sister and two of her friends were with me. We were on a road trip to California. We would be staying at several different mansions of sorts. Each of us would be chilling at a different mansion, and each one came equipped with a pool (which I never used). We would get from one house to another by warping, it seems. I never really remember travelling from one house to another, so I'm assuming warping.

Each house held a rich family, which for the most part was stuck-up and snotty. There was this rich girl in every house, and each one was a complete brat. I preferred to chill with my sis and her friends.

One day, we were at one of the mansions with the only nice person. She had a pool directly overlooking a beach. We were picking up hunks of foam and running up a ramp, trying to "surf" on the air. We got some pretty good glides going, but nothing that broke the record of Ayumi (who was apparently the rich girl's sister). After some experimenting, I calculated that she probably got lucky and hit a gust of wind at exactly the right moment. After a few more runs and glides, I took off.

I decided to drive around with my sister for a while. Asking her if she still wanted to be a ballerina, she replied "not so much." I started suggesting new career ideas to her, and ultimately ended up taking her to a career match center. After a few guesses, they matched her with "computer programmer," which she loved the idea of. This big, plasma-screen TV that spanned the entire wall demonstrated some of what she would be doing. She found the idea thrilling, and instantly enrolled in several college courses. I told her that she would have to teach me some things, too. Then the stupid alarm clock went off and I woke up.

The Skybanner (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Wow, this was a really long dream. I was first sitting in college, listening to my Professor. We were due to have a test soon; this is my interpersonal professor. I remember stressing out for some reason, I don't know why. When class let out, I went over to my dad's car, where he was waiting in the driver's seat. I hopped in. Somehow, his car had shrunk some. It was a convertible in this dream, though hardly acted like it. When one side went down, the other went up. The frame was horribly warped, and it felt and looked very much like being in the cockpit of a helicopter. He took me home, where I promptly hopped on my laptop and booted up my flight simulator. A new model of aircraft had apparently been released; it was called the "Skybanner." It was similar to the Dragonfly, but far more awesome. I began a web quest to find the new plane, though turned up little. All I found were virus-riddled sites and nothing I was looking for. In the end, I searched till dawn, and found myself in the classroom, still searching on my computer. It was either test day or end-of-semester day, I don't quite remember which. I do remember the teacher being really pissed, though.

When class let out around sunset, I again went over to my dad's car and climbed in. He was wearing a 7-piece suit, and it being summer, was dying a thousand deaths. He had this great idea, though; go to McDonalds, just for fun. We drove a short distance there and parked sort of near the drive-through. It was a big, wide-open sort of lane or alley, with only the building on one side. The other side opened into this great field. Suddenly, out of the sky comes this airplane. It was smaller, bordering on an ultra-light. It came down, touched the ground, and stopped faster than I've ever seen a plane stop before. The pilot tipped the nose up to expose the entire wing to the air, ultimately stopping the plane dead in its tracks. He hopped out, unscathed. The pilot was no more than 15 or so. His plane was sponsored, too.

My dad got it in his head that it would be awesome to go through the McDonalds drive-through in a plane. He asked for a ride, and the boy agreed. The plane wasn't quite as graceful on the ground as it was in the air, it seemed. It shot forward and crashed into the building, almost shaking my dad loose. Instead of ordering, though, he leapt through the window and started chatting up the lady behind the counter. Still wearing his 7-piece suit, he bid the lady farewell and leapt back through the window. At this point, I thought I would die laughing.

Universal Mind and Youtube Fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Short dream, this one about Universal Mind. He had posted a video somewhere on the DV forums, and I was trying to download it. We agreed that the song/video was pretty awesome.

Glass Shlumping Fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Odd dreams last night. First one was a fragment, having to do with glass shlumping. Some guy had done his shlump backwards and ended up with a bowl trapped inside another bowl. It was pretty, but utterly useless. The outer bowl was this lovely shade of brown or earth-tone. The inner one was this dark green-teal sort of color. Both had a marbled appearance.

Teaching LDS To Fly (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Another good dream. I think I was somewhere in the Overthere from Super Paper Mario (for those of you who don't know, it's this big place filled with clouds and Ancient Greece-style structures). Very pretty. I was communicating with LDS over the internet on my laptop. She had downloaded FlightGear and was wondering how to fly the F-16. I sent her a link to the tutorials. Nothing big or fancy in this dream, but it was still quite pleasant.

Proper Glass Shlumping (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Now this dream was a proper-length dream. My dad wanted to take me to shlump glass properly this time, and I agreed. He went and staked out the place first. When I arrived at the general area (which was a sort of ranch or something), he told me that there were horses nearby, and wanted to know if I was afraid of ponies. I told him I wasn't, so we moved on. There was a bit of a walk to the barn where we would do the shlumping. This walk took us past empty buffalo pens, with only the rotting carcasses of the odd, undistinguishable animal left over. Buzzards were picking at these. I didn't smell anything (luckily). It was fall, and the end of the buffalo-herding season, I guess.

Anyway, we made it to the "barn," though "Mansion" is a more accurate term. The inside was glorious. Warm, earth-toned rock and marble, secret rotating doorways, a hidden elevator, all that jazz. One eccentric woman came up and told us she was leading a walk...for stoners. Sure enough, the woman in charge (she was scary-looking, too,) tapped the wall in such a way as to cause the sheet rock to fall back, revealing a sort of giant, room-sized elevator. There was this butler-dude who went to a cabinet and pulled out a big bag of weed, which he handed to the woman leading the tour group. As he backed up, intending to slip back into the elevator, the doors closed shut and the rock slid into place. He backed into a stone wall and fell down. His coattails got stuck in the elevator and tried to suck him down. Eventually, the elevator let go. The butler dusted himself off and pulled a joint from his pocket before walking off.

That detour accomplished, my father and I, along with a bunch of old ladies, went out to the glass-shlumping area, which was a real barn. There were empty animal stalls that smelled faintly of barnyard happiness. A guy from my work place (who was gay in this dream) gave us a run-down on what we should kinda expect to make. He suggested either building a house or a good-looking male supermodel. Both would be perfectly acceptable. After a few more details (and some mortified expressions on the old ladies), he left us to our own devices.

We began making the side panels for a house (which isn't how you shlump glass at all). These old ladies were getting everything set up, and they looked like well-seasoned shlumpers. Well, it turned out that there was a sort of a contest going on. Us (myself, my father, and the old hags) against the people in charge (the scary lady, the butler, and the rest of the staff). Well, we were going to win, darn it all! So, we found a good place to evesdrop on the competition. We wanted to find out what they were making so we could make the same thing, but even better. Turns out, they had a similar plan. They had cameras on us and all that. Neither camp dared to discuss its project. One old lady tried to slip up, and covered it up by bursting into song. Another lady joined her in this obviously-fake charade. They ended the song (which was actually quite well-done, I'll admit). Then the dream ended.

...I think I set a new record for my longest dream ever.

Devil's Trials Fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This dream wasn't so clear, but I remember being back in the Overthere. I was destroying monsters, video-game style. I slayed them all with perfect ease. The final test, however, was conjured up by the Devil himself. He summoned up two invincible hellhounds. My task was to defeat them before I died. I called the devil a cheater and ran for higher ground. He laughed maniacally. I jumped up onto a ledge, where the dogs couldn't get me. It was a dead end, and the dogs weren't eager to leave me alone. I backed further up onto the ledge and looked behind me. There was a crawl space of sorts, this small air duct that looked just big enough for me to squeeze through. I gave it a shot and ended up in this big counseling chamber, where the Elders would meet or something. Then the dream ended.

2012 fun (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

A dream based off of the 2012 movie. I was standing in Costco, when the ground started to split and cave in on itself. I grabbed onto a shelf and held on for dear life. The ground stopped, and a shelf separated me from instant death. It looked as though a couple of cans of Campbell-style pork had wedged in such a way as to prevent the store from collapsing anymore. There were a bunch of people behind me, and most of them were far too scared to move. People were sending out requests for food; there was a stack of grape juice cans in front of me. Once it quieted down some, I requested a can of corned beef hash. People started moving about, and I was walking away from the pit when my idiot neighbors (whom I hate) removed the cans that were supporting the store. The tremmors started again, and the entire floor of Costco started tipping toward the pit, which was now chomping away at store shelves and the like. I grabbed onto a shelf and used this to catapult me to the next one, and the next one. I was fleeing from the pit, but it was an uphill struggle. By some miracle, though, I was winning. This was a really fun dream. Actiony, too. I like my improved dream recall...I should do my mantras more often, really.

Interesting Simpsons Fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Yet another odd dream fragment. There was something about the Simpsons, and the world looked like a giant cartoon. Bart was up to no good, and Homer had been imprisoned. Some dude from my school had been knocked unconscious, and was slowly recovering in this secret clubhouse thing. All of this was taking place in the sewers or something.

Car Dealership Fun (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

More fun dreams. I was working at the car dealership, like usual. The big manager dude was having a fire sale via bidding. People were lined up to cast their bid, but the dude was cheating and letting the cars go to all his buddies for dirt cheap. Meanwhile, the pissed-off bidders began hijacking all the cars and driving them off the lot. A fresh shipment of white VW's and whatnot had just come in...I believe I stole a Lambourghini. The guy got all pissed, watching his livelihood drive off, and called the cops. The dream ended before they showed up.

Awesome Tea Dream (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This dream was flat-out funny. Okay, I was back at this store, similar to Costco. While my sister and mother went out shopping for regular stuff, I was busy looking for tea to buy. I was shopping for herbal tea, dirt cheap. This nice lady helped me to find everything I needed. In the end, I had many, many bags of high-quality herbal tea for very little money. At the register, when the total came to $98.98, I started freaking out, forgetting that my folks had also grabbed stuff. Once that was settled, the dream skipped to a cool little scene where I am standing before the master of Tea himself. He is going to train me in the way of the tea. As my first test, he sets an almond down before me. I finish my cup (which smelled and tasted delicious), and climbed the mountain before me. At the top, I gathered myself, assumed the samurai stance, hung over the edge of the great cliff before me, and belched like no one has ever belched before. The shock waves cracked the almond perfectly (I later had fun trying to reassemble the pieces). When I got back down to the bottom of the mountain, my mother was congratulating me and couldn't be any prouder. The wife of the Master, though, was thoroughly mortified, and almost seemed to be afraid of me. Then the dream ended.

I had dreams about all these advanced chemistry things, and now I don't know what's happening to the very fabric of the reality I'm inhabiting. Spooky.

Epic Star Wars Parody (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Wow, what a dream! In the first bit, I was Luke Skywalker, taking on Darth Vader and his gigantic naval fleet of warships. I had to hijack one of those flying, laser-shooting things, and dive-bomb the ships, knocking out their colossal black cannons. I almost crashed a few times, but I hung on. At the very end, I couldn't get to the last one, and so set my ship on a collision course and ejected. There was a big explosion, and the dream scene shifted. Suddenly, I was working in the third-person point of view, but I felt everything that happened to the real me. The war game suddenly shifted to a puzzle game, and I was in charge of figuring out how to stop the next war, which would invariably break out again. To do this, my classmates and I had to rescue this frozen guy trapped in ice. We ventured through this big, icy cavern thing. My peers were able to glide along across the compacted snow, but I had to walk, since the killer traction on my shoes prevented it. Darn. Well, we reached the end of the cave, and there was frozen ice man. Instead of thawing him out, though, we pushed him off his hill and sent him careening into a rock, shattering the ice and reviving him. It was fun. After that, this wise sage dude sat me down and had me look at these two sort of prophetic stones, which had accurately predicted the last two wars. It warned of a third, more apocalyptic war if I did not find the third and final stone.
There was some messing around, the police kept getting in the way, but finally, I was able to carefully turn the stones in such a way as to reveal a hidden passageway. Then my dream ended.

This was a fun dream. I was watching a powerpoint presentation that used many many slides to create a moving picture. It showed a pixellated, early version of Mario dodging bullet bills and an evil Mario. Ultimately, he survived through some incredible dodging skills and reached the top of the stage, rescuing the princess. It wasn't the longest dream, but it was quite realistic and vivid.

In my first dream of the night, I was laying out colored bits of glass to "schlump" into a sushi dish-that is, you pick a base color, decorate the top with little bits of colored shapes and figures, place a clear sheet of glass on top, and melt the whole slab into a beautiful work of art. It really is quite fun to do. At any rate, my mom was showing me how she had made this adorable little frog thing. The details were simply astounding. Quite the cool dream, really.

Yeah, this was an interesting one...my parents had found this magazine with a naked lady on the front. I was in public with my parents and my sister, and I think a few people I work with. I believe we were sitting in desks at school, toward the back corner of the room. They passed the magazine to me, which I quickly handed off in an embarrased-like fashion. This is getting to be a dream sign, too. Public porn...how odd.

Crazy english teacher (Non-lucid)

I had two very long, very interesting, very vivid dreams last night. In the first one, my crazy English teacher decided to pile even more work on us, on top of the friggin' huge project she had already given us. This project, however, was a lot more interesting. It seemed that our job was to create an obstacle course, and use it to reach the other side of a blank room, which looked like a 2-D video game. A requirement of the course was that it had to have a jump, and that four people would be working simultaneously on one screen. We etched out our course and hopped in a little car thing, and drove through the course, jumping and dodging other people's paths. We finally hit our bit at the very end, which was a long slope containing a line directly above it, so as to close it off, tunnel-style. It's kinda hard to describe, but at the point of drop-off, we didn't leave enough room, and the car crashed, sending us flying. We bounced around for a bit, and by some miracle, landed right at the spot we needed to land to continue. There was a door, and we went through it. At this point, the point of view shifted from third-person, 2-D to first-person, 3-D. We were in a bedroom. The others were messing around, but I knew what had to be done. I took a small wad of gum, and stuck it to the covers of the bed, which is what the teacher had assigned us to do. The others followed suit, and it was through this that we avoided Armageddon or some such nonsense. Yeah, this was one freaky little dream, but it was exceptionally vivid and rather lengthy.

Previews and drugs (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In the other dream of the night, I was waiting outside my Grandmother's house, which had apparently become a school. It was raining out, and I was under a little roof thing that stretched over a pathway, staying warm and dry. I wasn't really doing anything, when a couple of kids came up, one of which I knew from real life. He was telling this third person who had just appeared about how salvia is apparently a lot like LSD, and how it lasts a really long time. He went on to say something like, "All the stars in my house are still all lit up like fireworks," or some other such nonsense. I should say now that I've never taken drugs before, and nor shall I ever. At any rate, they moved on, and I went back to roaming back and forth underneath my shelter. As I came near the end of the line on one side, I noticed a bunch of TV's had been mounted on the upper inside wall of the roof, similar to how amusement parks place their picture monitors. There were a bunch of previews for a whole bunch of movies, a lot of them having to do with comets, asteroids, and the end of the world. There was one, however, that looked all too cute: Pikmin, the Movie. I pressed a button, and the screen began playing the little segment. The story was told from the viewpoint of a spotty bulborb, one of the enemies the pikmin tend to go after. It showed the bulborb running about, dodging pikmin, and satisfying its insatiable appatite. At one point, it was carrying a little bulborb in its mouth, when the large bulborb's stomach growled, and it ate the little one in a flash. I decided then that the movie was too cute to miss, and vowed to see it when it hit theatres. When the preview ended, my 10th grade english teacher (who was always really cool), stepped out onto the porch for a smoke, which was very unlike him. It was shortly after this that my dream ended.

Okay, back on topic, I got to bed around 11:15, which wasn't bad. I had two very clear dreams, which was rather nice. In the first dream, I'm a pirate on the high seas. I have a cannon to battle vile sea monsters with, and a shabby pirate crew. We sail the ocean and prey on the weak, sinking all who oppose us. It was really quite fun. The most interesting thing was that the entire crew was made up of DV members, I believe. This also isn't my first pirate dream. I guess I like pirates...

Russian debate (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In the second dream, my sister is looking to debate someone on DV, preferably a Russian. I have no idea why, or to what point and purpose, but the dream itself was extraordinarily clear. The text and avatars of all the members (about 7 or so) was very clear and perfectly legible. The dream itself didn't last long, but it was very vivid and lifelike.

I remember the pig smelled and tasted divine, and that I was really great at playing the hylophoner. Not much, not terribly exciting...

Vivid grocery store dream (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at a much more reasonable time, plus I got to sleep in. Didn't really do the mantras (shame), but I had my first 4-dream night, and each dream I recall in vivid detail. In the first dream, I'm at some sort of local grocery store that has just opened. I'm in a small town, so everything has that sort of small-town charm. The market was big and full of warm earth-tone colors, but the biggest attraction was all the fruit, not to mention the thanksgiving stuff. I remember going over to where the fruit would normally be in a store, only to find frozen turkeys. However, next to the turkeys were all sorts of side dishes, including figgy pudding. I've never had this, but it looked delicious, so I scooped some up. It not only smelled good, but tasted good, as well. There was a giant, purple fig-thing in it, which was crunchy on the outside and very sweet. To anyone who says it is impossible to taste in your dreams, I say Balderdash! At any rate, I continue to walk through the aisles. The remarkable thing about the store was that it carried so many rare and hard-to-get items, such as dried longans. Hefting the bag, I saw the price and the number of pounds, and with a few calculations (that's right, I did math), I figured that the sack was $8.00 or so, so I put it back. When I finally get to the front counter, my dad is shooting the breeze with the manager. It was around this point that my dream ended.

Almost-lucid hard-on dream (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In my second dream, I'm walking through the halls of school with a hard-on, and I'm not sure why. At any rate, I decide to start pleasing myself, despite being surrounded by people. I'm really not thinking clearly, apparently. So, I get to the doors of the school, when I hear jeering and snickering, and realization hits me like an oncoming truck. I'm awash in embarassment. But then it dawns on me that no one will remember any of this because it is a dream. The dream continued on for a bit, but I never really became lucid. So close...

The great race (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This next dream is a bit shorter than the others, but still very vivid. I'm on a cross-country race with my mother against other family teams. We each have a car (ours is a van, the others have pickup trucks), and we're racing down the interstate. I remember that we had to stop and go get gas, which caused us to lose time. However, we soon caught up and had to make a turn. Instead of making the turn, however, we floored it straight on, into a fishing camp, which led right to my next dream.

The camping episode (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The final dream of the night was very vivid. I was walking around this campsite, which was also a fishing hole, when something caught my attention. My friend was hanging upside down from a tree, caught up in his fishing line. He had a broken arm wrapped in a pink cast for reasons unknown. Technically, I remember being in the site before, and noticing him in the tree, but I never really bothered to do anything. But at any rate, I scaled the tree and untied him. With superhuman reflexes, he reached out and put me in a choke hold with his cast, saying something like, "Yeah, why didn't you untie me before?" He let me go, and we climbed down (teleported, perhaps?) onto the ground. My mother and scout master were all too eager to make fun of me/lecture me. The dream ended sometime after. The strangest thing about this dream was that I'd been there before. This was not the first episode with the exact same fishing shack. There have been numerous dreams all including the fishing shack. Granted, each dream is different in some huge way, but the shed stays there. Also, I'm not sure I've ever seen the shed in real life.

I was at the movies with my best friend. She suggested that we do something after. Mysteriously, we parted ways without question. I began to contemplate how I was going to get home. For some reason, I thought that by visitting the local CricKet Wireless store, I could get home. I walked a ways, but then turned back towards the movies and texted one of my family members to come get me. In a strange way, I was nowhere near the movies. I saw a wierd kid from my school stick two bitten candy bars (Kit Kat I think) on a bench, then enter a subway station. At some point I met up with my sister's ex-boyfriend, who is near my age, and we proceeded on foot, once again without question. We passed an elementary school, where he tried to open a door in the back. We rounded the corner and saw the equipment of the drumline battery from the high school i will attend next year. It was then i remembered that the marching band was having a rehearsal after some event i had recently attended. We walked past and up a hill where there were many band kids. I said to my sister's ex-boyfriend, "Oh ya, the marching band is having a rehearsal after this." A girl near us repeated that sentence to a parent and they giggled together. Oddly, the other junior high's concert band had set up facing the discus throw chain link arc. The director of this band was saying "Not good enough, speed run." Many band kids were walking towards us in their tuxes. I saw my brother in his prom tux. I asked him something, but his answer was unsatisfactory. My sister's ex-boyfriend had mysteriously left me at this point. I walked back down the hill and the dream ended.

What does this one mean? I have some ideas. Around this time, i was anticipating picking up vibes from the high school for next year marching band. I had also recently made several trips to the movies with my best friend. These are the only connections i have made.
