non-lucid

Typical of recent dreams, I don't recall how the dream started. I do recall a memory of earlier events..

Fragment #1: I was parked in the driveway of a house down the block and around the corner from my house. I have never been inside this house in waking life, or given it a second thought. I was mentally reviewing items I had packed into a bag for a trip. A trip to what I thought of as the "Lake House" -I recall my GF was going with me, and I wasn't sure how I felt about it. She was not in the dream directly. I sat there in my car, making a mental inventory of all the items I packed. [There are additional elements of this dream I won't be posting.]

Fragment #2: My garage was flooding with at least 6-inches of clear aqua colored water. I was trying to get something out of the trunk of the car that was (strangely) parked there. Suddenly this Mallard Duck comes gliding across the water towards me. He tries nipping at my fingers. I thought, "This is what I get for feeding the ducks." I apparently had done so earlier in this dream. -I don't feed ducks in waking life.

Both fragments include memories of larger dreams. These could be false memories, but it's equally possible that I did recall the start of those dreams while I was dreaming. I do have dreams about lake houses from time to time, but I don't recall any dream in which I was packing for the trip.

I'm at the stage where I don't recall dreams unless I sleep for 10-hours. I rarely sleep for more than 7-hours, so basically I don't remember any full length dreams whatsoever these days. I have recalled a few odd fragments. One dream that was annoying to the point that I wanted to forget it, and I did. There have been a few vague recalls of epic locations, but lost due to multiple morning alarms going off for work.

Dream
Lucid
Awake


I was at the West Edmonton Mall water park. The water park looked as if it had increased around 10x in size, because there seemed to be hundreds of people in the pool. The main attraction was that they added this giant pirate ship that people could go on, and drive around in the enormous pool. There were around 50 people on the boat, like me, who were terrified about how deep the water was inside the pool. We must've been riding the boat in the "deep end" Eventually the boat started going out of control, and people realized that the guy piloting it was gone. Since the boat was moving ferociously, nobody could get to the wheel and it had eventually flipped upside down and everyone fell out. It was very chaotic, people were yelling, the lights dimmed, and I swam to the edge of the pool by the shallow end, and held on to the side of the pool so I wouldn't have to tread water. Beside me was a good friend of mine, and in front of me, outside of the pool standing, was two girls from school. Eventually the lights in the water park started to dim, and these two twins I know, jumped into the pool and suggested that we all play underwater volleyball. I was confused because all my friends had gone in the water and started setting up the nets. I tried to come underwater but I felt like everything was going black, so I resurfaced for air. I couldn't swim upwards, so I had to do these giant squat lunges so I could jump up out of the water, resurface, and take a breath in. I must have been jumping 10 ft. up underwater. This is when I started realizing that there was a timer at the bottom right of my vision saying 5:33. It was a timer to how much longer I could stay underwater. This is when I realized I was in a dream so I ignored the fact that everything didn't make sense. I went on the court to play volleyball with everyone. My friend hit the ball over, and I hit it back. The ball curved viciously to the left and looked like it was going to land outside of the court. Apparently, the ball curved back, and hit my friend who then hit it out, which had gotten us a point. This girl I used to like was in front of me, and she turned around to congratulate me. She was smiling and laughing and told me that I wasn't that bad. I reached out to give her a high five and she fived me, and gave me a hug too. At this point I was trying to focus on keeping lucidity, because the way she was looking at me and the physical contact started to make me lose lucidity. I walked forwards on the court, closer to the net, and she turned around, smiling, and staring into my eyes. I didn’t want to have too much contact in my dream for two reasons, the DC was somebody I knew in real life, and I didn’t want to wake up from the LD. Once I saw the look on her face I walked in the opposite direction, and left the court. I started walking around the bottom of the pool observing the tiles on the walls and floors. I wanted to increase the vividness of my dream so I decided to open my dream eyes. This was really stupid of me because “Opening your Dream Eyes” is something I hardly know anything about, It was just something I heard about and that it can make dreams very vivid. Next time I'll just stick to rubbing my hands together. I tried to open my dream eyes and I saw myself in my bed with my leather jacket, and school bag on. But I then woke up at 12:02 PM.

So I'm going to eat at this place...like a dining hall or something, and they're serving crabs. I happened to have my own in my hand at the time so I just added it to the plate. They added these really long crab legs to it, and some guy was talking about how mine had germs on it, and I told him that I could just eat the inside and be fine.

Anyways, we sit down, and something of mine is sitting on another counter. I raised my hand, and this lady looked around and said "well no body claimed it....is it yours"? I said "yes". She said "well not saying anything, isn't really using your head head is it?'. "Isn't ignoring someone's hand also not using your head?" I replied. The old lady smiled and said one more thing "you're just being a smart ass". I continued eating after having that short laugh, while another lady was telling this vivid story. They were all dressed up like witches, and there was someone playing an organ to add to the drama of the story. I forget what it was about, but it had a lot of details and the person on the organ captured it all. I was thinking about recording it, but decided not to.

Something happens between this that I can't recall.

But I know I can fly. I head up past the clouds and land on a truck that has a messed up roof. It's female driver is in the middle of welding it back on while driving, and I think it's really cool. Someone says something about being a witness to it, and I leave. Some military people are chasing me, and they say they want some answers, and are baffled to how I can fly. My flying is jacked up during the chase, and it becomes a little more than super moon jumps. Eventually I wake up.

I've been going to school with this girl for some time now, and classes are coming to an end.We really like each other, and I know it's going to be a while before I see her again. A jeep pulls up and it has her family in it. I meet them all, and they really like me. I told her that I'd have to take her to Vegas one day, and she wants to go. Her parents can hear me, and they're totally fine with it. I kiss her, and we go about our separate ways. Some girl tells me that things like that must happen to me all the time, and that she's jealous of "guys like you". I told her her, it's never happened, and that I was really lucky to meet someone like that.

Waking Thought
Dream
Lucid

Went to bed: 2:00 - 3:00 a.m.
Wakes: 9:13 a.m.
Final Wake-up: 10:22 a.m.

Last night I had stayed at a friends house, so obviously I didn't have my DJ on me. So this is the part where I can remember.

I'm in my room and all the furniture is arranged strangely, there's someone behind me yet I can't make out who it is, there's also someone in front of me, I know her from freshman year in high school. Somehow I just clicked and thought, "Wow, this is what it's like to dream..." as walked towards the freshman girl I snapped out of it for a second, don't know how or why but seconds later I felt the dream again. I wen't up to her and thought, "Fuck it, might as well" and felt her cat, and for the oddest reason, it was stabby (On the inside, it was like the feeling when you don't shave for a little and it gets prickly but inside). This freaks me out and I go for it again, the same feel. After this I was awakened by the thunder outside, I was writing down the story in my DJ and went back to sleep only to find that it was a false awakening and I wasn't even at home.

So, at first I was in the car with my family, and we were driving through a hobo town... This is not what you think. N residential houses in sight, all the buildings are run down and still working. Now I'm walking alone on the sidewalk and there are about a hundred people sitting/standing doing nothing...

There are two black guys in front of me. They're wearing sweatpants. One is wearing gray ones the other dark blue... They're wearing football Jerseys. They pass by a friend and,ask if he can lend any money. He says he only has sixth cents and gives it to them...

Now, I'm in a hotel lying on a bed. There are two guys o the bed with me, and we are clothed and everyone... They start saying the they each want to kiss me . but I realize my lips are dry, so I put on some Chapstick from my pocket. It's peppermint. I tell them so.

This is a corny dream... I only want to be with one of them...the next thing I know, I'm awake, since I was apparently asleep. The one I didn't want had his arms wrapped around me very tightly. I plucked him off and I notice my cat is clung to me also... I pull her off too.

I start to find the initial guy, but first I pass a few rooms wit other guys that wanted me too... No... I find him, and apparently I had done something wrong. He apparently doesn't want sex, and he doesn't want to lead me on.

But I say, "if someone has only half walked in their life, they will want to truly walk. But if you've never walked in your life, you'd be,fine with just half walking..."

If you think about it, that makes perfect sense!

So he accepts it, and were back in his room. We each pull a pillow over and out it under a table. I lay down, but we hear the door open, and a black guy peers in at us. Apparently the guardian or something...

So, in the room there are a bunch of small blow up balls at the side... So we start throwing them to each other, as if we weren't about to do something.

I start cracking up at the ball, mostly to get the guy to believe we weren't just doing something. At one point, one of the balls says, '30,60,90* (degrees), and I laugh at that. This is a genuine laugh... They join in, he leaves, and before we do anything, I wake up... In a strange position. Grr...

Dream
Lucid
Semi-Lucid

This was something I wasn't originally going to post because of the sort of "content" that was in it.
However it has an example of something that kind of bothers me in dreams.
That is Semi-Lucidity.
You see, sometimes I have dreams where my desires and will are so strong that they manifest themselves as dream control, either active or passive.
However, though I may have powerful dream control, and though I know there are no consequences to my actions,
in the end, I have no idea that I'm dreaming.
This happens to me a lot more then full fledged lucidity does, actually knowing that I'm dreaming and knowing what that means, in a sense.
However here's my predicament.
When I'm semi-lucid, I have much more dream control than I do when I'm actually lucid.
This leads to a lot of frustration in my lucid dreams.
The reason for this, I think, is that because I don't know that I'm dreaming in semi-lucid dreams, I think everything around me is actually happening,
which means my expectations are really strong.
I don't think that I'm having a lucid dream, I think that I have miraculously developed super powers in the waking world.
Where as when I'm lucid, things are a bit different.
I think it's because that I'm so aware that diminishes my abilities.
Or maybe it's because of the laws of the specific dream realm, or maybe it's because I don't expect to succeed enough, or maybe, hell I don't know.
Well enough rambling, on to the actual dream.

February 3rd 2013

I'm in the living room of my grandma's apartment.
I'm with someone else though.
I'm not entirely sure how she got there, or who she is, but frankly I don't even care.
Details and questions aren't buzzing around in my head, I'm being completely driven by will.
Without even thinking about it, I use my telekinesis to grab onto her.
I kind of feel like a puppeteer, using by powers to manipulate her movements.
Though I'm doing this all with physical force, not through any means of actual mind control.
I try and make her perform certain actions, testing just how powerful I am.
I can tell I'm not exerting that much of my strength, I don't want to injure her or anything.
Though through me flow malicious intent.
I feel like a super villain, making the damsel in distress dance against her will.
(It's kind of scary in hindsight, in this dream I really was evil)
Finally my amusement of the situation begins to fade and I grow bored.
Suddenly a thought crosses my mind.

"Wait, why is this woman here? Am I holding her against her will?"

I take a look into her eyes.
They're fearful, and they resent me.

"Hmm, how did things get to this?" I wonder.

Now I feel disgusted with myself. Have I really fallen to stoop this low.
I let go of the woman and forget about her, she then disappears.
I decide to go play some video games to get my mind off the situation.

Dream 1(fragments):

There were scene where some people in the room were saying that they were rich, but then person they were talking to says that they are still not as rich as batman, and kills them. Later on two women were trying to save dolls(?) of people that were killed and the only way out was to crawl through narrow tunnel with walls made of literally crap...( )

Dream 2:

I was playing some Minecraft with LV and PN. We have thinked up some rules, so the game would go more like PvP deathmatch game. We started on playform high in air and jumped down in random directions, there were no falling damage apparently. The starting area was snowy forest of sorts, we started rushing to get weapons as soon as possible. I was playing pretty aggressive and started attacking almost immediately with bare fists, it didn't went as well at first, but soon i was able to defeat LV who just crafted iron sword.
After that i started the hunt, killing everything and racking up the score, iron sword was quite more powerful than how it is in Minecraft IWL. At some point PN tried to ambush me with stone sword, but i was faster. LV tried getting TNT from endermen(they apparently were dropping some instead of ender perls they drop in game IWL), but i killed them both and got TNT myself. Also i apparently had portable alchemical table from equivalent exchange mod, so i tied getting more TNT through it from random junk i had in inventory, but it was not enough. Soon dream ended, i guess i won by score.

NON LUCID
*Feeling sorry for people stuck in the ghetto.
*Serious talk about mothers and vajradhara.
*Attacked at the vietnamese temple.

I completed a few milestones today, as well as having some vivid dreams. I was kind of dissapointed at first but I just kept going back to sleep. I've realized after tonight the less tired you are when you go to sleep the better chance you have of having a lucid dream.

Awake [COLOR="#4B0082"]Dream[/COLOR] [COLOR="#DAA520"]lucid[/COLOR]

I went to sleep around 2 AM, I had a horrible dinner which might have had something to do with it. I didn't even really have a dinner except eat a bunch of seven-layer-dip and a chicken wing right before bed.

Sleep: 2:30
Wake: 6:30
Sleep: 6:40

1. [COLOR="#4B0082"] I was in some sort of gymnasium where Obama was giving a speech. It was like a basketball court and then there was a smaller court right next to it so from a birds eye view it looked like a square next to a rectangle.
[/COLOR]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]4220[/ATTACH]

[COLOR="#4B0082"] On all sides of the room there were bleachers and they were all full and Obama was on the far end of the square in the room giving a speech. I was next to my cousin Russell and some lady with a baby next to him. After Obama stopped speaking they put on a movie for everyone to watch. Inbetween the speech and the movie the woman with the baby started walking on top of this tall row with her baby and there was like at least an 8 foot drop. The movie we were watching had someone's kid being taken away by child services and I started yelling yea we got someone with the same baby problems over here and I pointed to the woman walking with her baby on the high beam thing. I kept yelling jokes about it and she kept trying to hide her baby, but still kept walking on the beam. Pretty soon her baby was taken away and I was the only one who was clapping as it was happening. Sounds cruel but would you rather have a dead baby? Sometimes I feel like the only person in the room who knows the true consequences of things.
After that the movie kept playing and the next thing I know is somehow I met a guy and a girl on the way back to the cars and my dad was about to leave but he wanted to get "that movie with the rock in it" lol. So for some reason I remember all this is happening at our River house for some reason (my dad owns a river house we have 3 hours away from our normal house) Except in the "dream river house" it's a lot sunnier and theres a lot more bushes and trees and such. And I try to go in the house through this futuristic white truck thats owned by the guards, no real trouble for going in it but it looks suspicious. I realize I can't get through the truck so I go around to the place where the speech was taking place. Two of the guards pass by me (they are soldiers from some african country) and start talking about checking up on the display case, which apparently was in the back of the truck. I walk back to the auditorium building and in the dream it was blank but somehow I'm supposed to know it was a beach on that side, but now that I look back it was just white on that side lol. There were bushes and two wooden beams over a gap where it dropped to a beach down below that you had to walk over. Once I got back to the building the entrance room looked like it belonged to a church, and I met the Jogger guy and the girl I had met before. They asked me what I was up to and I guess I didn't remember what I said before because I said I was going to go watch Lord of the Rings. The guy asked me if I was going to where it was filmed or either asked me where it was filmed, dont remember. But I was saying no it's not around here it's all the way in New Zealand. The dream ended a few seconds after I was imagining on a map my location on the earth, and then like on google earth there was a blue line zigzagging and zooming all the way to New Zealand.
[/COLOR]

After this I stayed perfectly still when I woke up, Which is a landmark success lol. However the DEILD did not work as intended.

This was around the time I woke up at 6:30, and I was feeling like SH*T. Because if you read at the beginning what I had for dinner. I had a bit of a stomach ache, drank some water which only made me feel worse. I went outside my room and did some general cleaning for 10 minutes then went back to sleep.

woke up at around 9:30 and nothing happened.. decided I had nothing better to do, even though I was fully awake I concentrated on going back to sleep.

2. [COLOR="#4B0082"]In this dream something happened that made me go on a road trip, can not remember no matter how hard I try. I was driving in my car on the road and the GPS turned onto some back country road, I had to slow down a lot to drive around all the giant rocks on the road, and I realized I didn't have the lights on so I turned on the lights, the lights inside the car worked but the headlights weren't working. Either way I saw the rocks in the moonlight/starlight anyways and at one point it felt like a childs toy car and I just grabbed the sides and picked it up over the rock. Then I thought about how crazy this was and I was like "wait a minute"[/COLOR] [COLOR="#DAA520"]I performed my first ever RC (:banana:yay!!:banana:) and my hands went through each other and I realized I was dreaming. I looked around and everything, even though it wasn't daytime, was still in vivid detail and it felt so real. It felt so much like real life it was that hard to tell the difference. I looked to the side and there was a bigger street and a jeep wrangler drove by and its headlights were shining through the snow into a thick forest/jungle straight ahead of me. I tried to fly but I couldn't get off the ground. Then I realized my dream was fading and I tried to stabilize by rubbing my hands together but it was too late and I woke up.[/COLOR]

I find these two old arcade game machines that play various N64 games. My friend and I play this frogger-like game and some other game that I'm very nostalgic about. Later, I'm in the old west and I'm shooting bad guys left and right. When my gun runs out of batteries, I have to go to the store to get more. I walk through the jewelry isle where there are lots of interesting textures, and then a guy comes and picks something out and he says that this is probably what I need/was looking for. He hands it to me and at first I think it's a hair piece, and then I realize that this gold, jewel-studded object is glasses. I put them back on the shelf and find the bullets. Later, I'm in a room with this old lady who is telling me and my friends something, though I can't remember what. They are singing a chameleon circuit song but they can't remember it very well, so I start singing along but I end up missing stuff. There are kittens on a plate there, and I pet them. At some point I watch this movie that is sort of like Rise of the Guardians, and it was really bad, but at the end it said that Valve Software was used to make the movie, and I was pretty excited about that.

At some point I'm either Jack Frost from "Rise of the Guardians" or I remind myself of Jack Frost. My friends and I are in this field that catches on fire, and they all run away safely except for me and one friend, and I struggle with the fire and I can't use my ice-powers with all the fire around, and I get out, and then I try to help my friend get out, but suddenly I'm invisible and incorporeal, so all I can do is follow her and talk to her. At some point there is some sort of evil that I'm trying to get away from, and I climb this tree higher and higher and higher, and I expect myself to fall at any moment. The tree has an 'alive' quality about it.

At some point I'm in some sort of petstore, and at the time I'd had these two baby reptiles that I had been chewing in my mouth like bubble gum. One was a baby alligator, and the other was something I either don't remember or never knew. It had been about three days since I started chewing them, and they'd obviously died the day I did. I just left them in my mouth anyway for the next three days. So finally at this petstore, I see some reptiles that I forgot to take care of that are dead, dried up, and horrifying in their tanks. I remember about the little ones in my mouth, and I take them out. They are equally dead, dried up, and horrifying. I try to pretend that I'm not horrified, but my friend next to me expresses it outright. We leave that area and I see the dinosaurs tank with these little reptiles that all resemble dinosaurs for sale. One of them is this T-Rex-like animal that has red on it. I want it, but my friend says not to buy it.

I was in some kind of shop. I didn't see the shopkeeper's face but I recognised a classmate in there, whom I started talking to. I also noticed a lot of cellphones (which interested me), of which a lot were on discount. I went to check them out and I saw a phone that interested me. Before I could grab it, someone was slightly faster and took it before me. I didn't even care for some reason, and just wandered around more.

What i recall from when i woke up ~15 hours ago, didn't had time to write down earlier due to having problems installing new OS.

Dream 1(fragments):

I recall being unable to exit some sort of car and being late for some sort of event.

Dream 2:

I and some another person were on some adventure/mission that according to dream had something to do with game called Far Cry and we had to reach some sort of base. We were crossing some mountain area and often were using map to choose the path. At some point we heard some noise and person was saying something about mutants. Eventually one choice leaded us to the dead end. There were some black monster things and some really tall dudes attacking us but i easily destroyed them all by forming a circle with my thumb and index finger and then aiming at them. Person looked rather surprised and then we went back. Dream skips.
Me and person are in some tavern and there are two other people, we are talking about something. Suddenly some blue tiny flying flat transparent sheet thing appears and starts attacking me. Dream ends shortly.

Mom decided to raise snakes. She has one beautifull, bright gree tree snake in a soft plactic box. Right by the foot of my bed. Yeah, I hate it. I§m telling her, if she does not get rid of it, not coming home tomorrow, or day after. It is easy for me to say, bacause I just realized, I have an apartment.

This is a long one. That's because this is literally everything I dreamed in one night, start to finish.
From now on I'll try and brake up the individual dreams into parts, I get plenty of material for DV posts in one night
This is also one of my first recorded dreams in a while, so it may be a bit sloppy.

February 1st 2013

I'm looking at some kind of forum with a dark grey layout and white lettering. At first I seem to be browsing a sub-forum about people's dreams and what they think they mean. Afterward I go to a different sub-forum, one that is a sub-forum specifically about men's experiences in life (more specifically funny stories). In the title of the threads the author states whether or not they are married or single or have kids. I look at one of the threads and find it interesting. As I start to "read" it the dream scene changes and I'm now watching a comedian. He's telling the same funny story I was just reading about. He's a fat bald Latino guy with pale skin wearing a button up shirt with black and white vertical stripes and a peaked cap beret (the one old people wear). During his story he begins to tell a bit of a risky joke, I believe one that had something to do with the N-word, and in the dream it's a pretty big deal (odd considering that I don't really have any qualms with that word). After he's done telling the joke the scene changes to him in his house looking at payday bills, as though it were a documentary I was watching. He says that any time he told the risky jokes that he would make more money, but he was afraid to since he wasn't sure how other people would react to them (death threats in the mail and such).

At some point the scene changes again. This time it's to a man who is answering the door at his house. When he opens the door Micheal Cera is there to greet him. I'd like to point out that he is wearing the same green shirt he does in Scott Pilgrim vs. the world. I assumed that this was because in the movie (I guess I thought this was a movie) they wanted Micheal Cera to where the shirt as a nod to the audience that had watched Scott Pilgrim.

"Hey." Micheal says to him.

"Oh, hi." The man says with a depressed tone. He isn't surprised that he's here.

"So, what's up?" Micheal Cera has that typical smile on his face that he does in every movie.

"Oh it's nothing, just wanted to say hi I guess."

"Oh, okay. Is uh, Jasmine here?" Jasmine being a girl Micheal had dated a few years in the past, the man being the girl's father.

"Um, no." he says. "In fact, she's never here." I believe it's at this point where I realize that the man's wife and daughter are dead.

"Oh, well, it's just that you called me on my plane phone, and I came all the way here..." (He means that the man had called him to visit but Micheal had lived in another country, so he had to take a plane over to get there. It doesn't make sense I'm just quoting the dream here).

"Oh yeah, I guess you're right." He goes outside with Micheal and the two start slowly walking down the sidewalk.

"Hey cheer up man. So what if they're dead? Nothing you can do about it, they were holding you back anyway "
This is Micheal's poor and distasteful attempt to make a joke to make him feel better, I'm actually quite shocked when I hear it since that sort of action doesn't really match up with Micheal Cera's typical character.

The man just looks at him for a few seconds with a bit of a scowl and continues on. I guessed he must have gotten all the pain of losing his loved ones out of his system by now. Micheal is terribly embarrassed. As they continue an idea pops up in the mans mind.

"Why don't you come to see the stars with me tonight?" he asks.

"Sure, I guess that sounds like a good idea."

Fast forward to night. For some reason when they leave the house to see the stars they exit through a window at the back of the house.

They go to a sandboxy type place, though there aren't any swings or play sets on it, just sand.

This is the point I enter the dream in my own body (till this point I was in camera perspective). My mom and our mutual roommate enter the scene with me as well.

At first the sky is only dark and there aren't any stars at all. Then various celestial bodies emerge from the horizon and start moving across the sky. The best way to explain is if you were in a planetarium, and they projected galaxies and stars on the ceiling and had them move from one side of the planetarium to the other. I justified this in my mind by saying the effect was caused by the rotation of the earth. I'm really amazed by this. In waking life I have seen pretty large constellations and many stars populate the sky, but have never actually seen the full on milky way. I see various cosmic regions move across the sky, the biggest one being of course the milky way. My mom seems to find this very amazing as well. She takes out a laser pen and points to the bodies she finds the coolest.

"Wow, look at that C.J.!" she calls to me.

She makes me nervous by doing so because it is a fear of mine to shine lights in the night sky (really).

The one thing that stands out to me the most is a light brown cloud of cosmic gas. One part of it is bulbous, while there is a streak emerging from it to the right side.

"Wow, the Oort cloud! Look at that, it's fantastic!" It really grabs my attention. (Mind you the REAL Oort cloud isn't a cloud of cosmic gas at all, but is rather a hypothesized spherical cloud of predominantly icy objects that may extend up to roughly around a light year from the sun. I only found this out after searching what the Oort cloud was. I must have seen the name before at some time and thought it had to be some kind of nebula).

After a certain amount of time the stars and celestial bodies disappear past the opposite horizon from which they spawned. The last thing I saw in the sky was a cutout picture of Cera from the land before time though. My mom made a comment about it, though it seemed odd to me it didn't make me think for a second that I was dreaming. Though all the stars and such had disappeared, the sky stayed black.

Now that the show was over, my mother our roommate and I decide to head home, which isn't that far. We go to an empty gamestop close by. There's no one inside nor are there any games on the shelf, or anything else really, it's totally empty, the inside painted a light sky blue colour. The lights inside are on though. We head to the door and a camera somewhere on it takes a picture of us, noticeable by the brilliant flash.

"That will be our sexy picture of us us!" My roommate says with an over-enthusiastic slightly sarcastic tone (typical behavior of her in IWL).

We go inside, the door is unlocked, and head down into the basement, which seamlessly leads into my basement (well, a few things are out of place and what not, but it's about 40% my basement). I think we talked about some stuff for a little while and then went back upstairs. Surely enough going upstairs lead to my regular house. The stairs lead up to my kitchen. I decide to hang out there for a bit while my mom went to the living room, our roommate stayed downstairs. Whilst I'm staying there our roommate calls to me and tells me to take some sort of supplement. The pill bottle is resting on my stove. I pick it up and take a look at it. My dream view switches back to camera perspective and I'm watching a commercial for the supplement. In it there is a man on roller blades skating through what reminds me of a concrete area near the Washington monument. It's raining and he's skating around, he's very happy. A man behind him just as overjoyed also on roller blades begins to tail him, but is using two floor scrubbers to scrub the concrete ground behind him as he skates. (There's context...somewhere, in this segment, but I couldn't recall what). I hear some rustling outside, like someone knocking over a garbage can. I look outside through my glass door and don't see anyone there. It is night time however, and they could be hiding somewhere in the darkness. I decide to close my back door and lock it just in case. I also turn off the lights outside so to not draw attention to us. This is tricky to do at first since my lights are for some reason connected to the fan switches on my stove, and in order to turn them off you have to put them in a middle state, other wise it is on either high or low power (that's how my IWL fan switches work). But I managed. At this point I'm a bit freaked out. Something then catches my eye. My dog is on top of the stove and is playing with something (he's a little dog so he could fit on top of my stove, but just barely). He has something cylindrical in between his feet and is trying to squeeze it. I take it from him and look at it. It looks like a toothpaste bottle. At first I think it's astronaut food, but then it turns out to be regular bottle of Colgate toothpaste, though the design on it is a bit weird, it's mostly white and just has the word "Colgate" on it. There's some green lettering on it beneath it though. It says "Meanwhile in India". At first I chuckle at it, but then I say to myself, "Wait, that doesn't make any sense". I look at it again. Now it says "Made in India". I guess I must have misread it the first time. I put it down and go to the living room.

"Mom, Charlie was trying to eat Colgate, crazy dog..."

She doesn't acknowledge my comment. I sit down on the couch across from hers. She's watching T.V., but suddenly the channel changes to static. I start to panic. I think "Oh no! the guy who was outside is cutting our cables so we can't call for help!" I voice my concern to my mom. She tells me "Don't worry, I'm just sitting on the remote." I start to calm down. Of course there isn't someone outside, I'm just paranoid. My mom asks me if I want some pizza. I accept the offer. She calls our roommate to bring us some slices of pizza. She comes down stairs and hands it to us on a plate. Wait, wasn't she downstairs? Whatever. I begin to dig in, it's a plain cheese slice, and is a little cold. I get up with it in my hand.

"You're really handsome!" My mom tells me. A see through confidence booster.

"I'm not that good looking." I tell her.

"Yeah you are, you could look as handsome as anyone."

That comment really pisses me off and I start to go off on a rant.

"Now come on now. Be serious for a second. Maybe I'm average looking I'll give you that, but I'm not that handsome okay? Look, you can say that all you want, but at the end of the day no matter how much time passes by I won't be as handsome as Will Smith."

I pause for a second to reflect on that statement.

"Okay maybe after some time passes, but still do you understand what I mean?"

After I'm finished with my tirade I wake up.
