    Non-Lucid Dreams

    1. 3rd Night

      by , 02-16-2012 at 11:54 AM
      3rd: I was at school in the changing rooms. The changing room was where the lower school art room is and it was much smaller. I was there with Tom Franklin and Josh clingo (two of my friends) + random backround People. I'm asked me if I had brought my kit. I didn't reply but Tom asked Mr Burn (Douche bag PE teacher) - mrs chapman was there for some reason - something about the kits. Mr burn replied something what meant that I would get in trouble so I said "I have my kit apart from the shoes". But he still replies that I would get in trouble.

      2nd: Me and a girl named (I have no idea how to spell it) wrayleen were walking to school (which was the East Grinstead Sainsburys) and wrayleen asked me if I wanted to go round her house before school so I could "walk around". I agreed to this and it turns out her house was in the middle of the Sainburys car park. We went inside and I stood in the hallway while she went off in the house. It was about 1 minute until she came back and we both went to go outside again. There were two sets of steps leading to the front door. One carpeted, one stone. The carpeted set had three steps whilst the stone only had one. To get out I used the carpeted Set but as I put my feet on the top step, wrayleens mum shouted out something bad about stepping on the carpeted steps. I replied "sorry I didn't know" and then uses the stone step to get out. Me and wrayleen walked about 5m away from her house and then the dream ended.

      1st: We (my friend group at school) were in a geography room at lower school. But the group were divided into two separate groups. Both the groups were sitting around a table, filling up every gap with a chair. I was in the back right group with elliot west gate and Stuart Cameron (2 friends) and some others. The other group, at the front left of the room next to the door, was either Jordan Fordsmith or Josh Clingo (2 other friends) and some others. Both groups were talking about leaving someone out. When that someone (either Josh or Jordan) entered the room the dream ended.

      A thing to add is that, in all dreams the sky was pale and Cloudy.

    2. Trapped children; UFO, light show;tea party; mental institution

      by , 02-16-2012 at 10:42 AM
      I tried using mnemonics to remember my dreams. It helped me remember more dreams but with bad recall.

      1
      I was in a dark building with a group of children. We went down stairs and they discussed ways to get out. The only kid who actually tried to escape was Stan (South Park). Parents arrived and wanted to take their children out of there but Stan was missing. He got punished for trying to escape but I'm not sure how.
      Outside I saw parked cars of the rich parents. I noticed a yellow sports car.

      2
      I was standing next to the front door of my dads house. I saw a cigar shaped UFO passing by. I opened the door and told my dad I saw a UFO. When he stepped outside, it was already gone. I told him something about why I saw them frequently and why he didn't.
      I saw light flashes in the sky and street. People were sending signs into the sky with fire and other things that lit up. Not just in my street but everywhere.

      3
      I was repairing my bike. My brother was also there.

      4
      I evolved in Human-Age and people told me I could have waited a little longer.

      5
      I was in a pink room with chairs that looked like thrones. The backs of the thrones almost reached the ceiling. Everyone wore extravagant clothes. Mostly dresses with weird hats. Alice (Alice in Wonderland) was also there. She was bored. All they did was drink tea and talk about unimportant stuff.

      6
      I was in a mental institution. They were gaming and I joined them. There was some kind of bug in the game that made others unable to move in the game. The only person who could play was me. I tried to score as much as possible but it didn't really interest me.

      I was looking for an outlet to plug in something but I couldn't find it. There was something similar and I stared at it.
      A girl in the corner said: "It's here, stupid". I plugged in something but didn't even know what it was.
      I told the girl: "Not finding an outlet doesn't make me stupid." Her grin faded because she didn't expect me to respond.

      A girl who sat in a closet asked me if I ever wanted any piercings. I told her I wanted to get a side of my lip pierced and she seemed to approve. I also said I didn't do it because I didn't want to damage my teeth. A different girl said she removed hers for that reason.

      I turned around and found myself in a different room but still in the same building. A man asked me something I couldn't hear him because there was too much background noise. I told him I couldn't hear what he said because I hear everything at once and find it hard to focus on one person. I also said I had that problem because my brains don't filter most stimuli because I have Asperger's Syndrome.
      A boy said he had Dyslexia and also had the problem but used medication to get rid of it.
      I said I never want to take any medication. Everyone around me looked at me like I was crazy. I could hear them thinking I was arrogant and that I had to change to be 'normal'. I didn't really care about what they thought.

      A friendly looking girl went upstairs with me. Upstairs, I saw people dancing around and having pillowfights. I went to my room. My roommate sat on her bed. She was really cute and sweet looking and had long brown hair. Her side of the room was painted in different pastel colors. The other girl asked me if I wanted to paint my side of the room. I shook my head and said "I like white, especially when I want to sleep.".

    3. Detective Fragment

      by , 02-16-2012 at 10:07 AM
      This is just a small fragment from the morning. There was a lot more, but I didn’t stay awake for long enough to go trough it and so I’ve forgotten it.

      I’m in a detective story situation, at the end when the detective tells everybody who the murderer was. Most people involved are actors and I’ at a filming set. I’m probably working for the police, but basically I’m just observing. The detective tells us that the murderer is the lead role actor, and he knows this because he saw the actor shoot the victim. In the dream, I’m actually impressed by this.
    4. Feb 15 2012

      by , 02-16-2012 at 04:13 AM (Mah Journal)
      I was at school in some random classroom. We were receiving our exams apparently. I apparently got an English exam back. Someone was telling me that I had done really poorly, and for some reason Mrs. B. had taken it and marked it differently so that I ended up with 85%. I had expected to do better and was bawling my eyes out. I then explained to the two people (whom I cannot remember) that my meds were making me really emotional, which is why I was so sad at that moment.

      ---

      I was supposedly at the back of my current school. There was a massive field, but at the end was a river. Across the river was the back of my old school. I was with one of my classes, and we were by the river. I looked at my old school, and suddenly a garbage can near the back door of it burst into flames. We were all watching it now. We thought that the garbage can would go out since it wasn't that close to the door, but then the door suddenly started burning too. Then the whole school was up in flames.

      I was confused as to how that had happened in the first place. Then, suddenly, I was thinking about how my school couldn't possibly ignite since it was all the way across a field and a river. Then I saw a single wandering spark fly away from the massive fire, all the way over the river and the field, and land ever so conveniently land on our back door and somehow light the whole school within a split second. Fear struck my heart; we were trapped and had no escape, especially with the speed at which the fire grew. Then it ended.

    5. Hibiscus at Burning Man

      by
      Hyu
      , 02-16-2012 at 02:34 AM (Hyu's Adventures)


      This video was posted the night before this dream on reddit.
      It got me really curious about Burning Man and I read up on it before going to bed.


      I'm driving home.
      I decide to take the country road, which I love.
      It's nearly always empty and is full of corners with very good visibility.
      In other words it's quite safe to drive really fast, and you barely ever go over the speed limit doing so.

      A village is coming up so I attempt to slow down, but something is wrong.
      The brakes are fading... badly!
      I'm going downhill struggling to stop, the brakes aren't biting.
      I enter the village quite a bit too fast but manage to come to a full stop after quite some distance.

      What happened? I haven't had any brake fading since I changed to aftermarket brakes, and I wasn't even pushing them that hard.
      Plus brakes don't just loose all their bite that quickly, they would have gradually started fading.
      I get out of the car to check on the brakes and the pads are quite literally on fire.

      No way... I try to recall if I was racing, but even if I was this couldn't possibly happen.
      I get back in the car still trying to remember my driving, and start driving slowly to cool the brakes down.
      I can't seem to recall my driving at all.


      And then it hits me. I'm dreaming!
      I immediately remember Burning Man and decide to go there.
      I close my eyes, and imagine myself walking on the Playa.
      Why did I close my eyes? I can teleport with my wings, this seems unsafe.

      I open my eyes and find myself already at Burning Man.

      "Huh... that was easy..."

      I notice a woman in front of me, staring at me quite intensely.

      "No, it wasn't. I brought you here."

      Interesting.
      I scan her aura to see if it is Faye messing with me, but I quickly realize it is not her.
      It's the "hibiscus girl": Another mysterious woman / Emotional and sensory overload - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
      The last two times she was wearing clothes with a hibiscus drawn on them, but this time she's wearing the actual flower behind one of her ears.

      "Well... hello there."
      "Come!"

      She grabs my hand and drags me away.
      She blinks the both of us a considerable distance ahead, and we end up in a location where people have set up all sorts of art pieces.

      "Beautiful, isn't it?"

      I investigate all the pieces carefully.
      They are very different from each other, but every one is beautiful in its own individual way.
      There's everything from over-sized mechanical spiders shooting flames to tiny crystal sculptures.

      She grabs my hand again, and gives me this look that clearly states that she is in control.
      This is the second time she just dragged me into another dream.
      I don't really mind, because I find her very interesting, and her presence is... quite arousing.
      She's extremely attractive and quite sensual.
      I'm drawn towards her.
      But I sill feel the need to be at least partially in control of what is going on.

      "We're going to climb that sculpture"

      She points at a tubular structure.
      I resist the dragging and she looks at me.
      I stare deeply into her eyes and grab strongly onto her arm.

      "No, we're not. We're going dancing."

      I smile, and pull her to a new location through my eyes, the way she has done it to me before.
      I get us into some sort of club they have constructed here.
      There's a center pillar giving support to a huge tent.
      We stand on a small platform attached to it, a few meters above the ground.
      There's neon-lights everywhere, in all kinds of colors, lighting the place up.
      Some follow the rhythm of the music.
      They are playing vocal trance. (A bit like this starting at 2:30)



      The girl is visibly surprised that I just dragged her here.

      "Dance with me!"

      She's unsure for a second but then smiles.

      "Sure"

      She leans her back against me and we dance slowly to the very atmospheric music.
      I really enjoy it. She smells very nice... it reminds me of lavender.
      She brushes through my hair with her fingers... I wish I had such good hair in waking life.
      The flashing of the lights turns my vision slightly blurry.
      She turns around and closes here eyes.
      She moves in for a kiss, and it's absolutely magnificent.
      I feel full of energy.

      I can feel how much she is enjoying this.
      But then something startles her.
      She looks at her hands and starts fading away.
      She manages to look at me one last time before she completely disappears.

      I decide that she must have woken up, how unfortunate.
      My vision is blurry as well, I need to get out of here and stabilize.

      I teleport outside where it is dusk now.
      I rub my hands vigorously to stabilize the dream.

      I walk along a path with more sculptures on both sides.
      I meet many people, all very different from each other.
      They're all extremely nice, everyone is smiling and says hi.
      I wonder if Burning Man is anything like this in waking life.

      Some guy explains to me how to build these tubular structures and I end up helping him extend one of his sculptures.

    6. a few dreams

      by , 02-15-2012 at 10:31 PM
      I had this dream twice, the first time I got caught. The second time I realised what I had done wrong and got away (I think).

      I was on a warfront, spotting for a sniper I guess. The enemy cannled an air strike on our location an y
      the sniper's leg got blown off. He really needed to go to the toilet so I held his rifle as he went. I looked down the scope and saw an important looking man walking towards a Bunker/aeroplane, surrounded by officials. I tried to shoot him. I missed. Everyone knew where we were and I knew another airstrike was coming so I began to run away. People started to stream in to catch me. I was on a cliff, so I ran toward the edge, jumped, and caught hold of a pine tree. I spun around the pine tree trying to confuse them. On about my third rotation I let go and flying kicked an important looking man. I ran toward the bush and was chased. There was a chase through the bush but I can't remember what happened.

      *the next set of events may be out of order*

      After dreaming this I realised I was imprisoned under the Basically regime for twenty years but couldn't remember. I was telling all my friends this (even though we were teens, it somehow made sense.)

      My sister wanted a dog and there was a really large hill and some bushland outside our house, so my dad built a light rail for her that only went about 100m up the hill. I rode it with her. I asked my Dad and he said it cost about $13300. I was annoyed.

      Me and two other friends had to do a free for all fight match.

    7. 20th Night

      by , 02-15-2012 at 08:47 PM (Exploring My Imagination)
      February 15, 2012
      Last night was a very lame night. I tried a new method where I write down the days events before I go to bed and it worked, however not how I wanted it to. I remember waking up a few times during the night after some pretty good dreams, but I decided to be stupid and not write them down. All I remembered when I got up this morning were a couple of dream fragments. I will try again tonight and make sure to write the dreams down as soon as I get up.

      1) Fragment: This was just a flash of something, not much at all. I can recall dreaming about a fruit cup that someone (or I) was holding. That's it

      2) Fragment: It's hard to remember but I think I dreamt about school again. It's very faint so I can't recall any further details.

    8. Bicycle Chaos

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Dream 1: Bicycle Chaos

      I was riding my bicycle somewhere, and I was standing on the pedals instead of the basic sitting position on the bike.

      Then I look down from above to see that the front wheel was getting loose and popped. Then the rubber started to disintegrate really fast to where the metal was fully exposed to the concrete.

      I'm not sure on what happened after.

    9. First remembered dream of 2012

      by , 02-15-2012 at 08:38 PM (Visions in the Dark)
      I am in this old Western style town that has narrow dirt streets and wooden plank buildings. I am wearing a white dress and carrying a grey coat in my arms. The streets are filled with rough looking men, some of whom heckle me as I walk past. I do not see any children or women other than myself.

      I come to a part of the street that opens up to a small lake. On the other side there is a man hitting baseballs in the direction of the street I am on. One of the baseballs hits my wrist and several men on the street laugh at me. As I am reeling from the stinging in my wrist another baseball suddenly hits me in the head and I fall down. I pretend I am unconscious to see if anyone will help me. My eyes are closed but I can hear footsteps approtching.

      A heavy leather jacket is placed over me like a blanket and my grey jacker is put under my head like a pillow. I can sense several people around me, but all are silent and there is no conversation between them. Slowly I open my eyes to see who came to my aid. There are several men I do not recognize and one I do. The one who is farmiliar is my dream character Walter, who often only appears when I am my dream character Chun-li. I think it is strange that he is here, because I am not Chun-Li and he has never appeared before when I am any other character. Walter senses my thoughts and telepathically I can hear him say "Welcome back."

      At first I think he is welcoming me back to consciousness but I figured he actually meant "Welcome back to the world of dreams" because I have not remembered any dreams for months, and also because he is not a character that shows a lot of emotion and he seemed really happy to see me again.

      Walter picks me up and carries me to an area outside of town that has a medical ward of some kind. On the inside of the building it looks like a modern hospital but on the outside it has a complicated security system with checkpoints that you might find at an airport, prision or even military base. I still see no other women besides myself. After Walter checks me in he says that he has to do something and leaves. I beg him to stay because I feel safe when he is around but he insists that this thing is really important and disappears out the door. I do not see him again in this dream.

      Not long after he leaves I explore the hospital a bit but when that gets boring I head outside and try to navigate the maze like security/check point system. I am held up at one gate and questioned intensely bye two guards but they eventually let me go. After that however, I notice to different men following me around, keeping just enough distance from me so as not to raise suspicion, though I can see them no matter where I go.

      The sun begins to set and I want to get back to the hospital room but I find that I am lost and don't know which security gates I have to go through. The men following me are getting closer and closer and I fear they are going to tackle me or something. My last thoughts in this dream, before I wake up, is wondering where Walter is and why he left me all alone.

    10. Trying to shapeshift (non lucid)

      by , 02-15-2012 at 06:07 PM (Taffy's Sweet Dreams)
      I was walking to someone's house. The street I was walking along was covered in moss. I heard someone telling me to turn right so I did, and I wound up at the house. My brother was already there, but I was expecting him to have brought my bag. I had to go all the way back to get it.

      Then I'm not sure if this one was still the same dream or a new one. I was in a room, trying to do my first 3 step task, but I wasn't lucid. I wanted to try shapeshifting into something difficult, so I settled on a dragon because I haven't tried anything fantasy yet. I tried a lot, but all I managed to do was grow a little, with no other physical change at all.

    11. 01/23/2012 and 01/24/2012 - "What 15-minute Break?" [+Fragment]

      by , 02-15-2012 at 05:49 PM (Oneironaut Zero: Dreamwalker Chronicles)

      01/23/2012
      Dream One (a)
      "What 15-minute Break?"


      I was hanging out with my ex and a few other people, when out of nowhere, she slips a hand underneath the table and sets it in my lap, rummaging around down there for a bit and shooting me a mischievous grin. Later, it was just the two of us and we were laying down, watching t.v. We began to hold hands, and it was just kind of nice being that way again, since it had been a while since we'd dated.

      Sometime during this (though I can't remember the timeline), I was at our job and had left on a break to go hang out with her, not realizing that she didn't have to be back to work at the same time as me, and that I was running late. Somewhat ridiculously, we'd decided to go to the beach during our break, and I was now speeding to get back into town, pretty sure that I was likely to get fired, as soon as I stepped in the door. There was also a brief moment here, where I remember pulling up to a house at night, and someone jumping out of a parked car nearby and running away as if feeling the scene of a crime. I woke up shortly after this.


      Dream One (b) (Dream Re-Entry)
      I was back at her apartment (where we'd been in the previous dream, watching tv), and she had gone somewhere, which was funny, because I was trying to return her keys to her. So, I waited up on her porch for her to return. The buildings had this weird, seemingly unfinished architecture, where you'd practically have to jump over gaps and climb walls to reach each apartment. There was a kid hanging around her porch, and when I asked him what he was doing, he said he was waiting for [my] 'girfriend' to return. After a while, she pulled up in her car and I went down to meet her. She had a friend with her, who seemed to recognize me, but I can't remember who she was.



      01/24/2012
      Dream Fragment

      I was Batman, in some insane scenario about fighting werewolves and other large creatures. At first, it was just an all-out brawl against them, but then we ended up having to team up to face a bigger thread. Killer Croc was a part of the situation, and we had to reluctantly ally with each for the same reason. I don't remember much of the following battle, but we had to fight hordes of generic henchmen and figure out puzzles (much like in the game). The last thing I remember is taking on the Joker, one on one, who was armed with what I believe was a switchblade knife.
    12. Dream Wednesday 15th February 2012

      by , 02-15-2012 at 05:31 PM (Lucid Lore ~ The Afterlife ~)
      Two Long dreams today!

      The first dream, Was a stilt walk across Europe, But the stilts where bamboo sticks, And when you walked or ran, They would bend, And then you could jump really high.

      I was in this cross European walk with a gay couple, And one of the gay men's ex wife, Who looked like a man with no hair, She had a Shrek type nose. With piercings and tattoos.

      We looked at the European map, But where Italy should of been was no India, And where South Eastern Europe was. I.E Greece. Was now the area around Vietnam. So the map was part Asian, And part European.

      We were in the Vietnamese part of the European map. Terrorists, And guerrillas warfare was going on. And it was all rainforest. We were going to go up, Towards the Indian part of the map, Through the peaceful France and eventually the Peaceful Britain. I could tell they were peaceful because the map was colour coded. Vietnamese area was Red, Indian part was Blue, Part of France was blue, And the rest was Green. Somehow I just knew. We were on our baboo jumping stilts and we were running since Terrorists were chasing us. That's all I remember.

      The next dream was a close Lucid one.

      I obviously did the reality check, Finger going through hand, But it didn't go through. And that's how the dream started, I than began to think of what things could come to life, I would put my two fingers in my palm, Count to three and they would activate. And become alive... But every time I activated them, They would never be nice, They would be evil and cause havoc. Some of them were toys, And they would grow in size. But I remember I was in a American style house, And it looked like America, It was dark at night, With only light lamps outside to see. I went outside and people were screaming.. These beats of toys and junk were causing havoc. I remember 3 sets of monsters whom were massive, Trying to get me, So I put my hand into my palm, Waited 3 seconds And they turned back into toys again, Or broke into Pieces.

      This kept happening, Then I woke up.

      I think I will lucid tonight! I have a strong feeling about it!

    13. Strange Digimon MMO

      by , 02-15-2012 at 05:12 PM
      Nothing too exciting tonight, actually very little recall. That's okay though, I've been needing a break. Actually, I'm pretty sure there was at least one or two more dreams I didn't make note of out of laziness. I drank a cup of damiana tea before going to bed, but I don't think it had much effect on my dreams, except for maybe the second one which is really just a fragment, all I have to remember it is the short note I wrote down.

      Strange Digimon MMO

      My friend M and I were playing some online Digimon game. It started out in third-person but that part is sort of hard to remember, but it eventually became first-person. I was walking through some town where I see a poster of the Cheshire Cat (the one from American McGee's Alice / Alice: Madness Returns) with some joke about Cannabis written on it. I don't remember what it was, but I do remember thinking it was funny. (It was probably gibberish. ) I walked around until I ended up in some cantina filled with bikers, and I start talking to Robin from How I Met Your Mother and then she goes and starts hooking up with a guy, and apparently I'm waiting to hook up with her next. During this I hear fireworks going off in the distance and assume that people are celebrating the fourth of July, and the cantina owner gets mad and yells at someone to go get them to stop. After that I get distracted and walk off and start thinking about the game again. I'm apparently playing in some evolution line that includes Growlmon and Greymon (possibly kind of switching back and forth between them) and takes the place of the basic warrior class in MMOs, and at the point where I'm deciding whether to go offensive (DPS) or defensive (tank). I want to go with DPS but accidentally pick tank. Not too long after though I walk into a building where some other girl we're apparently playing with works ( this has turned into some kind of strange mesh of the game and the real world lol) and she says that you can change your class decision eventually, so I'm not too bummed.

      Fragment - Being damiana date while waiting for other to finish?

      Man... I wouldn't have minded being able to hook up with Robin.
    14. airplanes and swamp; in trouble at work

      Good morning, everybody.

      Dream #1

      I was probably with my mom and oldest nephew out on a road during the daytime. We were probably driving, but we weren't quite in a car. It was almost like we were walking down the road or on a moving platform. The road ran through a valley bordered on either side by a dense pine forest.

      The road was packed with cars. We were all headed, rather slowly, as if in procession, down the road. I probably knew that an airshow was going to start.

      Then planes began flying overhead, as if they were just heading over to the airshow, or warming up (?) for the airshow. Some of the planes were flying up from the road.

      The car behind us actually lifted up off the ground and flew into the air. The car was painted gold. At first it looked like a 1980s Camaro. But then it ended up looking like the flying car Luke Skywalker drives.

      But for some reason I was really excited to see the Camaro-like car flying. I called out to my mom at first. But then I saw one of the senior people at one of my old jobs, JS, walking down the road in the direction opposite the procession. So I called out to JS, partly to show her the flying car, and partly because I was so happy to see her again.

      JS may have been walking with a female friend of hers. The two women looked at me kind of sympathetically, like they thought I was crazy but they wanted to act like what I was saying was cool. We both kept walking our different ways.

      The road probably ended at some kind of swampy area. A lot of people stood out in the waters, looking out into a watery space columned by trees. Airplanes may have been flying through this space.

      I must have tried to go farther out into the water to get a closer view. But I only got a few steps out before the water got a lot deeper, probably up to my chest. This would be too deep for me to be comfortable watching the show. So I decided to walk back.

      But it was a little hard to get back. The soil I was walking on was really muddy and sticky, like in a swamp. But the water was crystal clear and never seemed to get dirtied by the water. I was having a hard time moving my legs through the mud.

      At some point I saw my second oldest nephew. He may have been standing up on dry ground, near some fence. He may have been kicking something around on the ground.

      I may eventually have gotten up on dry ground, or at least to a level of water where I could walk comfortably. But I was probably disappointed that I couldn't get out farther in the water. I may have thought that there was some open space out there where you could stand on dry ground and get a really good view of the planes.

      Dream #2

      I was at work. Everybody had an office. But the offices were more like dorm rooms. I was probably new to the job. I kept mistaking other people's offices for my own.

      At some point I went into an office the doorway of which was blocked by something like a couch. I fell over the couch and into the room. There were a bookshelf, a couch, and probably a desk, all arranged so that the room felt like a maze. On the ceiling was a piece of thin fabric with an orange background and a black, psychedelic mandala design.

      Everybody was looking into the room, kind of laughing at me because I had come into the wrong office. I was embarrassed and annoyed, and I tried to cover for myself by pretending that I'd meant to be here.

      I may then have ended up back in the hallway, which was small and dark, like some makeshift hallway in the basement of a house. I then ended up in the reception area, which was like an entire living room in a double-wide trailer home. The receptionist's desk was kind of out in the middle of the room.

      The receptionist was KB, the receptionist at my work. I sat near her desk, kind of behind her, in a small desk, like a little writing desk made for children. I felt like I was hiding behind KB.

      My boss JH came into the room and probably pointed out that I was hiding behind KB. He chuckled at me and said, "Don't you have your own office? Or, what happened to it?" I got the feeling he thought someone else had moved into my office.

      I tried to explain that I was only sitting here so I could learn something from KB. But then I was getting up and heading out of the office.

      But my boss called me back. He had a bunch of stuff in his hands. He said, "This kind of stuff is no good for the workplace. This is why I'm seriously thinking you might not be good for this job. I even think I found some porn in your office.

      "Look at this!" he said, showing me a painting on a canvas that must have been about 30cm long and 20cm wide. It was half-finished, with some edges of it in black and white, not colored in yet. The painting was apparently something I'd made.

      The painting was of the forearm of a person, maybe a young boy. The arm held some device that looked like a gold-colored, metallic spray-gun nozzle on a garden hose. But attached to its ends were a red, pump-like ball and a clear, little breathing apparatus.

      My boss JH said, "This was for your third oldest nephew, wasn't it? He uses it for his asthma. But kids nowadays -----." Something about what my boss said made me think he thought I was trying to glorify drug use by depicting this device.
    15. Harry Potter, Love Triangles, Fire Goddesses ... and a Lot of Other Crazy Stuff

      Wow, one of the most detailed dreams I’ve had in a while…

      It’s one of those dreams where it’s like, I’m kind of watching it but I’m sort of a part of it also. I don’t know, it’s confusing. So, I’m supposedly watching a Harry Potter movie or something. There’s some part where Harry Potter is standing on this big stone wall and looking around, and he’s talking with this guy in a yellow raincoat. But that seems to be the only part that’s actually about Harry Potter.

      Then it switches to some subplot about some love triangle thing. Like, there’s this goddess lady and her husband is cheating on her with this other lady. So like, the three of them are in a bunk bed. The goddess is sitting on the bottom bunk, while her husband is making out with his girlfriend on the top bunk. So, the goddess lady gets super pissed and catches the house on fire with her mind powers. And her husband is all like, “Oh no! My beautiful mansion!” And she’s like, “I’m going to burn this whole house down unless you come down here right now and make sweet love to me!” And he’s like, “Uh … no.” Then he and his girlfriend jump out of the top bunk and run away.

      The goddess lady is very angry about this and jumps out of her bed, too, and starts chasing them. I’m chasing after them, I guess, but I’m not really a part of the story. The goddess also has a younger sister apparently, and she starts running around with all of them, too. She has this magical glowing purple dress, and it’s the only way they can all find their way around in the dark. So, I’m going after them but then I lose track of them and go into some random room, where I run into Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. And somehow I know that the house is full of “Alice in Wonderland” characters, and that they were supposed to be kept in captivity but now the goddess lady has freed them all. So, it’s absolute mayhem and whatnot.

      I run out of the room and across the hall to this other room, and go inside. At this point the dream seems to change plots or something. Basically, there are all these people in the room throwing toys at each other. The whole floor is absolutely covered in toys. And somehow, I know I’m supposed to join in. So, I go to one side of the room and start throwing toys at the people on the opposite side of the room. I’m standing behind this dollhouse for protection, but it falls down. Then I find this plastic Pegasus toy, which I used to have when I was younger. Just like in real life, its wings are always falling off. Only the dream version of the toy is much more complicated and the wings have like, multiple parts. And I can’t find all the parts to put it back together again.

      Maybe another dream? Or just another part? I’m at this My Little Pony fan club, and I have this miniature figure of Sweetie Belle that I’m playing with. I’m sitting at a table with some other girls and we’re all talking about the ponies and which ones are our favorites, etc. We get into a conversation about some robot pony that doesn’t actually exist on the real show… (I knew it was only a matter of time before I started having My Little Pony dreams.)

      Another part, or another dream maybe … I go into my grandparents’ house while they’re on vacation. I go upstairs and open the attic door. I notice that the stairs are suddenly different; they’ve been replaced with this blue, spiraling staircase. And I’m like, “Huh, that’s new.” Well, then I call upstairs for their cat, because I know she likes to hang out up there. I hear her meowing and she comes running eagerly down the stairs. I pick her up and start petting her, and I take her downstairs to the first floor.

      When I get downstairs, I find that my grandparents have gotten back from their vacation and are sitting in the living room. My uncle is with them. He starts this conversation with me about all these stupid books he’s been reading. But I haven’t read any of them so I’m just like, “Uh huh…”

      Then I have to go, so I go outside. I step right onto my college campus. I realize I have to go pick up a package, so I head towards the mail room. But, then I realize I don’t have my wallet, which has my I.D. card and other such important things in it. And I figure I must have left it in my grandparents’ house, so I try to go back there.

      And, that’s all I can remember.
