non-lucid

Good morning, everybody.

Dream #1

I was in a museum with enormous rooms. The paintings were also enormous. The walls of the rooms may have been twenty or so meters tall. The paintings were just as tall.

I may have been with a group of people, possibly a school group. But I had broken off from them for some reason or another, and I was now walking around by myself.

But I was afraid to go into any of the rooms very far. The paintings on the walls were so gigantic. I was afraid they'd fall on me and smash me. So I could barely go beyond the threshold into rooms.

One room was kind of dimly lit, like from a dirty set of windows in the ceiling. I saw a pair of paintings in the room. The paintings were, I told myself, either by Goya or El Greco.

The paintings had the same subject: a young man in rich attire, something like pink, satin pants and a white shirt. The paintings stood opposite each other in a kind of side niche in the room. I wanted to examine the paintings closer, but I was too afraid of them falling on me.

I left this room -- I think -- and went into another room. The paintings were also huge in this room. But I may have been getting braver about being around the paintings, and I may have stepped quite a few meters into the room.

But now I looked up and saw that there were also paintings in the ceiling, the rest of the ceiling being made out of thick, ornate wood, like in the Rose Reading Room of the New York Public Library. I was now afraid of the ceiling paintings falling on me. They seemed like they'd be heavier than the wall paintings.

Dream #2

It was a greyish day. I was either treading water in a river, moving backwards slowly in a small boat, like a rowboat, in a river, or standing on a walkway through or at the edge of a river.

I may at first have been with a group of older, well-off people, like a tour group. But I'd broken away from the group a bit. The group were all walking along the walkway.

The river was wide, and at the other end of it was a big, kind of square, building. The building faced the river directly, starkly: it may even have been a bit cantilevered over the river.

The building was made of some kind of white stone, but the front of it, or the side facing the river, was of slightly tinted glass. This windowed section curved around the sides of the building as well, giving the white stone of the building a kind of backwards "C" shape.

I knew that the building was an art museum. It was the Art Museum of Mexico or the Mexico Museum of Art. It was a very good and nice museum. But it was also used -- especially the enormous room overlooking the river -- by drug cartels for arranging certain deals.

People liked to visit the museum. But people who went there were always afraid. You always had to be careful not to hear things, or at least not to act like you heard things. And you couldn't offend any person in any way. If you offended someone or acted like you'd overheard some drug deal being arranged, you could be killed.

But for some reason I was feeling defiant. I was going to go into the museum and I wasn't going to act afraid at all. Besides, it was the Mexico Museum of Art. It was full of great works of art. I'd be really disappointed in myself if I didn't see the art works there.

Dream #3

I was in some building. I was near a staircase. Apparently I'd always come here to this place to read. Other people did, too. But I'd come to have a favorite spot for reading on the staircase. And I'd read there all the time.

There were some guys who'd decided to follow me around. They thought I was really smart. They were jealous of me. They wanted to figure out everything I was doing and studying. They thought if they read everything I read, they could get smarter than they thought I was.

One of these guys was an old, kind of tall, white man with a big belly. He wore nice slacks and a nice button-up shirt. He saw I was heading toward the staircase to read. So he either took the place I always took or took a place a few steps higher than my place. Wherever he sat, his plan was to look down at what I was doing, so he could do it, too, and hopefully beat me at it.

I tried to figure out what to do. I didn't really care if people knew what I was doing. I tried to be open about that. But I felt annoyed. I may have thought I'd hide whatever I was doing, just to annoy the man back a little. Or I may have thought I'd just act unperturbed, like the man didn't bother me, or didn't exist at all.

First

There is some free japanese course video that I’ve found online. I’m watching it with F, but not really learning much. The stuff seems familiar and the course is in Swedish. It’s good to review, though.

Second

This was actually a rather long dream, but with nothing much happening. I was mostly just looking out the window and walking about.

I’m in a conference center. I’ve been watching a video in one of the seminar rooms on the third floor. When I look out the window I notice it’s late. There is a tall building opposite to the one I’m in, on the other side of the yard.

I go down the stairs to find someone. The lobby is very high and grandiose. I don’t find them, but I notice that the building on the other side of the yard is not visible from the first floor. A waiter tries to offer me a drink, but I refuse. I go back up to see if the building is still there, but don’t get there before I wake up.

Powder on a coin

I'm in a car and it's very late. I'm sitting right next to my cousin. He has a coin and on the coin there's some powder drugs. Before he tries to take the drugs, I tell him that I feel bad about him taking the drugs, considering he's doing it because I first talked about it with my big brother. I feel even worse considering he's now about to throw the the expensive drugs he bought, away out of the car's window. He got some other coins with traces of powder as well, and tries to somehow clean them.

Red Condom Packs

I find some red condom packs somewhere. I pick them up and puts them in my pocket.

Dream fragment memory. I remember having a dream of where I was in a tower, And this tower was like the Dubai Kalifa, The tallest building in the world, Except, This surrounding city was old, And grey. Much like a cold war version of paris. And this new tower was in the middle, But it's height was about 1 mile high. Anyway, I got a Flat there. It was meant to be close to the ground, Except instead they gave me the one three floors from the top of the building. And in the wind, The building swayed. I remember looking down at the old cold war style city. This building I was stranding in was the only tall building there. Everything else in the city maximum height of the buildings were 3 stories high. Maybe four. Back to the dream at hand, The building had a antenna that two guys were climbing, It was windy and cold. The dream faded. This dream didn't happen today, I just remembered it from seeing something today. Or I may be wrong and it did happen today

I remember having a dream, Cate Blanchett was Queen Elizabeth, And I was in the court of France, And It was hot and I was standing next to the King Of France or Spain. I think it was going between the two Kings of each nation.

Anyway, It was dark purple or blue. With the French monarch emblem. Queen Elizabeth 1st of England came to the French court and asked them for assistance, Or Asylum? I think the English removed the Monarchy.

This was what she looked like, Only standing, Begging for mercy.


Because Queen Elizabeth 1st was Protestant. They wanted to arrest her and behead her. The King who she pleaded too, Said something to his guards, And herself and her guards/protectors rushed her out of the door and into a carriage. I was running, Or on another Carriage chasing the Queen Of England.

We were driving over hills and stuff, I did a assassins creed move and jumped onto the back of the Queens carriage. It started swerving left to right, Trying to get me off. I climbed up on the top and entered through the roof, Much like a car. I then see the Queen and said "I won't hurt you, I'll save you"

The Queen then took me to this building with lots of gold blocks inside. The French whom where chasing us, Where far behind. Me and the Queen ran up the steps to this building, It was bricks with detail design on the outside, And gold bricks blocks inside covering the walls. Anyway, We got inside and it was dark, With a few fires on the wall. We climbed up the flights of stairs. We got half way, And the French were at the bottom of the stairs running up, Shouting. We got to the top, And it was a dead end. I think something happened, Then I woke up!

The End, Until I dream next.

Dream One Non-Lucid

I enter the dream playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on a map that I didn't quite recognize. It felt like I knew this map like my name tough. It was like a mixture of Array from Black Ops, Sub Base from Modern Warfare 2, and Rust from Modern Warfare 2. It was super small, like rust, and had huge amounts of snow. In the middle was a smaller building that you could only get on top of by a metal staircase. On the top, you could see the roofs of other buildings, and the whole map. There was also a bomb site for Search and Destroy on top. In the far right corner, there was a gigantic building, like from Array, but it had no windows. Inside was a bomb site for Search and Destroy. You could also get on top of that building by another set of stairs outside. On top of there, you could get on one of the buildings the surrounded the map by, like the stairs, a metal bridge. The roof that you got on from there was made out of tin and had rust on the front edges. I was playing Search and Destroy on this map, and I had a PP90M1 with a silencer. I was also playing with my friend from school, Trent. I sprinted into the building in the right-hand corner, passing the bomb site on the small building. Inside, the whole enemy team was there. I quickly sprayed them down with my bullets, earning me a five man kill streak. "WOOOO!" I had yelled as soon as it happened. The whole lobby went silent. There was no kill cam, but another round started. Instead of seeing my character, I saw Trent's character, as if I was dead. "What," he had replied to me whoop, "It isn't like your special or something."
"Dude! Look at the leader boards-" I said while opening my leader boards. "I am on top with five kills and zero deaths! That's great for me since I am new to gaming on the PC and we are on the PC!" I couldn't feel my mouse underhand though, but I didn't recognize that in my dream (I am dumb). I saw him look at a pile of snow underneath the bridge from the Array-like building to the tinted roofed building. He was using the PP90M1 as well, but it had a woodland camo and wasn't silenced. There seemed to be a glitch with it because it would show a person's body flash around in it, although you couldn't get in it. He shot at it, but got he didn't get any kills. I then woke up.

Dream Two Non- Lucid

I was on a farmer's farm with the farmer beside be, and for some reason I knew he had Heliophobia (The fear of sun or sunlight). Hid face was blurry, but he was wearing blue overalls and a red shirt underneath it. We was sitting on his chairs, much like the metal ones at your school, out in the sunlight. He was not scared though. In front of us was a white table, and behind us was a metal shed. I soon entered the shed and saw that it had nothing but concrete underfoot. I exited and sat back down on the metal chair. Me and him got started talking, and he said "It would just be a better place if we could destroy the sun."
For some reason, I agreed with him and we had an unspoken agreement to destroy the sun at 2:55. That time is also when my school gets out. We sat in silence, until my dream flickered to an image on the clock that said 2:30. "Just another 25 minutes and the sun will be out forever!" I informed him. He grunted in agreement, and this went on for many times before finally I woke up.

Side Note

I am going to try to become lucid in one of my dreams tonight. Wish me luck!

Sheesh, I have had over a week's break from updating this. My momentum kind of got killed when my streak broke off. Still waiting for the first lucid of the year. They are going to have to come thick and fast soon or else I won't be having my best year.

Nonetheless, last night I actually had an okay recall. And as my own forum, where my dream journal is, is down, I can't even write any classics, so last night's dream it is then, paraphrasing it from memory.

Weird History Girl
Date: February 13th, 2012
Lucid: No

So I was at my home's yard and there was some party going on inside. There were some people outside as well though. I wasn't interested in the party apparently, so I sat down to the swing. All the sudden one girl, actually one of my former classmate from way back, sat next to me and started talking to me.

She didn't recognize me. She just thought to come to talk to me, cause I "looked nice", or something to that effect. I told her that she actually should recognize me and I guess I sort of tried to force her to remember, but she didn't remember, even with the hints I gave to her.

Somehow though I ended up in her car while she drived through the town. She seemed to be a bit poor driver and almost crashed a couple of times. She tried to explain that it was because she was not used to driving around there.

Finally she parked next to some street and started walking somewhere. I wasn't sure what I was doing there, so I contemplated a bit before following her.

She went into this building. The door of it was weird, like you had to transform into many times smaller size before you could fit in the door. I saw many people go through this process, including her. Somehow I explained to myself, that it was just an optical illusion. I went in behind her.

The building was some kind of mix between museum and library. Apparently there were some old texts you were allowed to read, and that was what she was after. She headed to some reading hall while I started wandering around.

I found some room I though I was familiar with. There was a stairway that led to nowhere, though I told myself, that if you'd jump off it's ledge you could latch onto something and get to some other space. I didn't try it though.

I headed back to the reading hall, but I had to go through stairs down. In those stairs I hit some button on the floor that triggered an alarm. There was some kind of guarding point with couple of guys right next to the place. Some mean-looking guy started moving and they all got alert due to the alarm.

I knew I set it off, but just stared the mean-looking guy in the eye and he ignored me, thinking that the alarm was set off by something else. Anyway, I had gotten of it and headed to the reading hall. There were some tables and few people in it. Next to the table where the classmate girl was was also another one of my former classmates, one guy.

I went to talk to the girl and asked what she was studying, as in studying in school. I don't remember if she had said to me in the car that or did I just figure that she must be studying something. Nonetheless she told me that she studies history. I said that I figured that isn't that obvious and that I wanted more specific answer. For some reason everybody, including me, thought that that was like the best joke ever, at least judging from the amount of laughter.

I don't remember what she answered, but the dream pretty much ended there anyway.

Tonight my DCs were real motormouths, it was quite odd! the strangest thing is they were still talking even when I wasn't focusing on them... for example I was busy cleaning a container, and these girls in another room were talking about dieting! the nerve! this is my dream world!

11:30pm

Fragment: I was at a basketball court playing basketball with someone.

Mini Dream: In my room, I'm on my bed drawing a hand, and some other random less interesting stuff. someone I don't know criticizes my drawings
(whats with strangers being in my room wtf?)

Tower Defense

Third person, tower defense game, medieval setting. the monsters come out of one hole in four directions, I was making a strategy to use the shittiest buildings as barricades. We have a feast to celebrate our victory, with alcohol of course!
Later on I remember making small adjustments to the paths while someone is talking in a thick Scottish accent* I could not understand him, actually I think I was ignoring him, I wasn't even looking at him really..
*this is probably from this video => Shorty Awards - The Scottish Vote - YouTube
I didn't vote for them it was bugging me all day.. lol xD

5:30am

Fragment:Some guy was cursed, he had a hula hoop around him, i put a ring on his hula hoop and he got angry or something...

Cigarette Girl
Fragment: I am not sure if I dreamed about driving to the school or not..

Vivid dream. I'm at a primary school that I don't recognize, it looks like any normal street to be honest.. anyway me and my family (and potentially some other people) were sitting on a bench, while my little sister went to her classroom. I was looking around I saw a few students walking around and a big sign which I assume had the name of their school on it. I went to read it and some girl walked in front of it with a cigarette in her mouth! I was asking her to get rid of it, and my sister was not impressed with me for going about it the wrong way? as expected everyone had no opinions about the cigarette girl. I was close to becoming lucid at that moment. instead I started looking out for a friends sister(CJ) I'm not even sure if she has a little sister in primary school though. Later on me and my dad are walking into the school and I check my phone, its 8:35am and I thought I was late... but i stated at 9am? I got a text message i but I couldn't read it in time.

Fragment: I thought I had my work pants on but they weren't mine.

Dream Character Party

At a house with friends from where I used to work (JH, SV, KL) I was made to clean up the ice cream in a big container. I tried some, it didn't taste spectacular anyway. while washing it KL was talking about her pea-flavoured smoothie diet (I'm pretty sure she said pea-shaped but this makes more sense) and some skinny woman I didn't know was talking about not eating at all. I walk outside (surprisingly seamless transition from inside to outside) It was getting dark, twilight.. The light came through the gap between the house next-door and the pergola. My cousin (MC) was sitting outside next to a white table having a drink, I asked why he was hanging out with these guys and he said he was bored and had nowhere better to go.. I couldn't really see him because the fence was blocking the light. I turned around to see a hill with people on it. beyond the fence were expensive houses. (ACC) was sitting on the hill, talking about how his brother gets more attention and he seems a little down. a little kid comes out with an electric guitar... it transitions to a weird guitar game, where you have to follow the guitar strings to the bottom then back up.. it became pretty abstract, the strings were distorting and stopping, starting.. I was going easy on them, and I ended up losing.

Fragment: Renovating a house, old lady, I noticed the renovators did a really shitty job.. the host from better homes and gardens was there.

7:00am

February 13, 2012
Pretty good night- much better than last night. I can recall one full dream and one dream fragment.

1) Dream fragment: I was in my room putting on skinny jeans. After that it skips to me in a hallway at my school along with a few people- one of them being my friend. I remember that there were lockers in the hallway, but it was weird because there aren't supposed to be lockers there and they were the lockers from the previous school I was at. I remember sitting by the lockers and noticing my friend seemed mad at me/ wouldn't talk to me. I also recall looking down at my pants and realizing that I had put a pair of normal black pants over the skinny jeans I had on that morning. At one point I think I looked over the lockers out of the window and then some kid comes up and tells me to move because I'm blocking his way. He seems bad but then smiles like he was kidding. That's all I remember.

After that dream I woke up and attempted to WILD. Sadly, I wasn't aware of the time and just when I felt like I was almost relaxed enough my alarm goes off . I turned it off and them fell back asleep for about a half an hour. That is when I had my full dream.

2) It started out with me trying to go somewhere but to get there I would have to go down this narrow dirt road. I was worried that some creeper might come and kidnapp me so I decided to disguise myself as a gross old man. I remember I had a cloak on and walked with a cane, holding a basket in my hands. At one point a car with a man comes near but doesn't attempt anything.
The scene skips to me in my kitchen. I am waiting for something. Soon, my mom walks in as the man I was just seconds ago, but instead of a basket in her hands there is a glass jar. There was something in the jar that I needed, so I asks her to give it to me and I open it. Inside there is this gross, half rotted head submerged in a bunch of brown/yellow liquid. I dump it out and ask her something like "why is this in here?" She tells me she needed to hide the thing I needed and make sure no one tried to take it. She went through a lot to get her hands on it. Once the jar is emptied of the foul contents I reach my hand in and pull out what I need- a small vile made of stone shaped like some sort of animal. Immediately I notice the thing is cracked and that all of the liquid contents have escaped. I get really mad at her and start to panic- because that vile was filled with medicine that I needed in order to live. I ask her for help- maybe I can salvage some from from the liquid I poured out of the jar onto the floor- but she says no. As she stirs some peppers on the stove she tells me to suck it up and that life is not always the way you want it to be. I think I said something like "but I'll die!" but she doesn't care. She goes onto tell me that if she has to deal with her horrible coworkers then I can deal with this. I remember feeling disbelief at her attitude towards the situation. That's when the dream ends and I wake up.

February 12, 2012
WBTB: 2:30 A.M.
Bed Time: 10:00 P.M.

I am a soldier jumping from snowy plateau to snowy plateau across a bottomless gorge. One soldier in my company falls off one of the plateau but is some how able to get to the other side any way...

...I am in a desert with a man I do not know. There is a fort with one of each special infected from L4D in it. These zombies seem to be getting smarter. The forts dungeon looks like my basement. To get close to the base, the man and I disguise our truck as a pizza truck.

Type: Regular dream.
Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Notes:
These three fragments are all from one long-ass dream about a war being waged between two sides. I'm not sure what these "sides" were, because the characters and scenarios were so random. I don't remember much of the content that happened between the fragments.

The entire dream must have been fifteen minutes in length. It's one of the longest non-lucids I've had.

This was the coolest of the fragments, but unfortunately I waited to record it last... In doing so, I've forgotten just about all of it. Derp. Let's see what I can salvage.

I was positioned in an indoor battlefield which consisted of the same type of woody and metallic rubble as described in my last two entries, but there was more brown dirt, almost like soil, this time. You could also see patches of shiny, light metal flooring underneath the dirt and debris. Above me loomed a dome-like, curved white canopy roof; the building itself was a long half-cylinder in shape which was really only made up by the roof, which curled all the way to the ground on both sides, with two half-circles of metal wall on either end of it, sealing off the openings completely. The building was at least a hundred feet in length and twenty feet in width, and the lighting was dim, but not dark, as there were flashes of light going off in every direction. Some flashes were from explosions, others from gunfire.

Somewhere along the ground, in the middle of the room, was a square-shaped system of trenches that averaged about two feet deep. I was with my father and sister; we were crouching down and trying to hurry through to one end of the trenches as quickly as we could. They only took up an area of maybe ten by ten feet, so it didn't take long before they ended and we peered up over them. The ground with the trenches was raised a few feet by a naturally-occurring hill, and right before the hill sloped down (at the edge of the trench) was a line of concrete barricades.

All three of us were sitting beside one another: my dad was on my immediate left, with my sister on the other side of him. My dad was wearing a basic olive green army helmet (I can't remember what clothing he had on), but I didn't really see much of my sister. More than anything, I just knew that she was there, although I did hear her voice a few times. My dad was holding a shotgun with a beautiful polished wooden plank on the side of it, and I was carrying a small handgun. I stared at it, and then I realized we each had to choose "who we were going to be" for this war, before we started fighting and shooting.

"I call Pikachu", I said, turning around to see a pale blue, detached door that was sitting in the trench behind me. There was a rectangular mirror on it, with the length of the mirror going perpendicular to the length of the door itself. In the mirror, I saw a blurry outline of a Pikachu which looked more animated, but also had a slight realism to it; I could almost see fur or something.

"Haha!" I said. Then I turned around, picking up a large gun that had somehow appeared on the ground to my right while I was looking away at the door. I made a few "Pikachu" sounds, which came out exactly like how Pikachu sounds in the Pokemon anime. I fired the gun, which had a normal-sized handle but a large body. It reminded me of the shrink ray from Despicable Me, except it was mostly metal/silver, with a more rectangular frame and a cyan color only used for accents, not the entire gun.

I pulled the trigger, and the gun blasted a short stream of very pale blue light, which turned into a large blueish ice cube. I fired it at someone who was running at me (he was wearing brown clothes and, like my dad, a green army helmet), and he froze in place, with some of those "motion lines" of ice behind him.

That's the extent of what I can remember.

Last Nights Dreams
Dream 1

I am at my Mom and Dads and they have 2 big dogs..and I mean huge. I am playing in the back room with the dogs and they knock jigsaw pieces everywhere so I stop playing with them and start to pick all the pieces up and put them away back in the box on the small table.
I now walk out the room for some reason and when I go back in the jigsaw pieces are flying around infront of me in a kind of arch pattern, it's a spectacular view and I'm amazed, I think "ohh my god, how the hell are they doing that, that's impossible" ((shit missed my cue for lucidity here)) I watch for a minute and then say "ok that's enough!" and all the pieces drop to the floor
I now go outside and play with the dogs, my dog Simba is amongst them ((he's a silver Weimeraner)). The dogs are all playing together, I see a black poodle and say to my Mom "ahhhh he's cute, where did he come from?" my Mom says "yeah he is, the woman that had him has tried to kill him 3 times already and it was only yesterday she tried to strangle him!" I say "ahhh poor thing, can you keep him?" Mom says "I don't think your Dad wants another dog" my Mom shouts my Dad and I ask "wheres Simba?" my hubby then says "he's outside, he's frozen, he's got ice all inside him" I say "he needs to come in then" my hubby then says "no!, leave him out, he'll defrost slowly" I run out looking for Simba ((even though I'm already outside lol)) I see Simba drinking from a hole in the bricks, I go to grab him and he falls off the ledge he is standing on, his head hits onto the concrete floor below. I scream and pick him up, I examine him and he's now a swollen brown dog and his head is a square shape I think "eh!..what the hell" then I look at his eyes and realise he's still alive. I turn him a little and see blood coming out of his right ear, I scream "quick somebody I'm losing him" I panick like a mad woman then I wake up.

Dream 2

I'm outside and for some reason I see my hubby's penis and it's tiny. I am now talking to 2 old men and suddenly one of the old men has got his penis hanging out, it's unusually large but....the end of it is like a mouth, it looks the same as a normal penis but then a tongue popped out from the middle of it and the 2 sides began to smack together Some bloke now takes a look at the old mans penis and says "ohhhh, it's got gangrene!!" I look in shock and the tongue bit was all brown and yucky ((dream skip))
I'm still outside and I fall over something and hurt my crutch area I pull down my trousers to take a look at the damage and ohhh my god I have a penis thing just hanging there. It's like a penis but it has 2 more penises coming out of the sides of it, I say "ohhh shit, where the fuck did that come from!!!" I inspect it then wake up lololololo
((I would like to thank Suena for this twisted dream about penises as I read hers last before I went to sleep, cheers mate Lmfao))

I just found this site yesterday, and spent several hours on it because I've found answers I've been searching nearly a year for. I didn't figure I'd dream last night as I went to bed very, very late, but instead I managed to have more dreams than usual! So many, that I'm having a hard time remembering the earlier ones! I had to make a list of keywords to follow to remind me of the dreams. None of them are lucid b/c I struggle w/ achieving lucidity. They're also oddly mundane for me, my usual dreams contain lots of crazy happenings.

First dream: The first dream was pretty much my brain rehashing the time I spent on this time. I found myself on the forum "Beyond Dreaming" and I'm seeing a post that says "looking for a real dreamer I met last night. 12345" and for some reason in the dream I think that's me they're looking for, even though I've never had a confirmed shared dream, I only think I've shared a dream with someone before.

Second dream: I'm in what looks like a two story book store or library. The second floor is more like a balcony on the left side of the room, with a gradually curving staircase that follows around the right side of the room. There's a lady behind a counter stackes high with books. I'm talking to her about books, and realize that she's my high School Drama teacher. I can't remember what we were talking about because it was so early in the night, but she points to the stairs and I go up them. At the top of the stairs there are several windows with flowing curtains, and a big wooden bed made of logs with crisp white sheets. In the bed sits an Aunt of mine who lives across the country that I've never met offline before. In real life she has cancer, so I think that is why I see her in the bed. She's talking to me about me coming in through the window, and I think she's angry about it. I feel guilty and tell her I'm sorry I won't do it again, then I scamper off down the stairs and out the front door of the store. There's an SUV outside, and my husband and two kids are in it. I climb in the passengers seat, and we start driving away. The sun is setting, but it's not really dark yet, just twilight. I'm watching the scenery fly past me, and I notice this beautiful fountain/sculpture in a front yard that is simply breath taking. It seems to be made of Glass. The glass is sort of clear, except it's covered in thousands of hand sized frosted spots. It's about six feet high, and looks like several circles, half circles, and crescents artfully arranged with no apparent rhyme or reason. Theres water flowing from a medium sized circle on top, down into a half circle that seems to make a bowl about four feet lower. I think it's beautiful, and turn to watch it even as the car passes it, until the other scenery I'm driving past blocks my view. Then I notice several other structures resembling that one in various other yards. I point them out, and my husband agrees they're "nice". Then he turns the SUV around. I don't ask why, but the sun has disappeared over the trees now and it is very dark. After a hundred feet or so of driving, the closest glass sculpture lights up, not just one color, but each different circle or part circle has it's own color. It's truly spectacular to me. When we drive past the first sculpture I had noticed I see that the ball is Blue, and the part circle forming a bowl is pink, and the water that flows between the two takes on the pink and blue colors as a gradiant, making purple in the middle where they meet. My husband pulls the SUV into a parking lot a bit farther down the road, and I get out with my little boy. I realize we're at gamestop when we go inside the building. My little boy wants to play xbox, so we start playing the demo unit. a lot of time passes, though I can't remember what game we were playing. A clerk comes up to me, and I notice he'd a coworker from a job I had when I was pregnant with my boy several years ago. He tells me that we've played long enough and we need to leave now. I go back out to the SUV and wake up.

Third dream: I'm in a circle turn around like you see at the end of a dead end street. It's not the same circle turn around that we live on now, but it does remind me of a neighborhood I grew up in. My husband is cleaning out his work van, and I'm watching and talking to him to keep him company. We're talking about buying a new house, and my husband and I seem to think we finally have the money to buy a nice, newer home that wasn't built 75 years ago. Then a grey or tan truck pulls up. My husband is inside the van, so I turn around to ask the man in the truck if I can help him. He tells me he needs to talk to the cable guy who drives the van because he hit a deer and that deer bounced back and hit the mans truck. My Husband comes out of the van ans acts like he knows the guy and they're friendly to one another. But I'm angry because I think that if he hit a deer in his van and it did damage to someone elses vehicle her could lose his job. Without his job I think our opportunity to buy a new house has just flown away. I look to my left and the SUV from the previous dream is there. I open the door and my kids are in the back seat in their car seats, so I climb in with them. I realize the car is on b/c the ac and radio are on. I go to reach forwards to turn it off, but instead the SUV starts moving forwards. I struggle to climb into the front seat b/c we're getting close to the main road really fast and i need to stop the car before it runs out into traffic. I wake up before the car reaches the main road.

Fourth dream: I'm in our Silver Camaro, but it looks NICE. The paints not peeling or anything, it's just the way it was when I drove it in high school. I pull into a store that was also built during my high school days. It is a hardware store, gas station, and grocery store all combined. I'm a country girl, and this was the closest store for about a 20 minute drive for Groceries gas and hardware, so I know it pretty well. When I get inside the store in the dream though, it's HUGE, much bigger than in reality. I can see that I've walked in the hardware side because I see lawn mowers, rakes and leaf blowers to my left. I didn't look right. Instead I walk down the center of the store until I see a display with a television screen with lots of flashing. I go to see what that's all about, because it's out of place to see a tv display in a little locally owned store. The display is for an adult novelty item, and I quickly become both embarrassed and curious, but a guy I went to school with walks up at that time and starts pulling me back to the entrance. I follow him without complaint, even though he was someone I only recognize, and never actually talked to much in school. He takes me out the door, but then says "never mind" and drags me back inside the store. This time, there are a few benches on display to the left as well, and a couple of people are sitting on one. I notice straight ahead my mother and her best friend are walking towards the hardware section we are in, and the guy dragging me around rushes me over to a bench behind the one with people already on it. When we are seated and sufficiently hidden from my mother, I can hear her talking very loudly, saying that since I am not around anywhere she wants to tell her best friend something about me. But then I get angry that she's trying to talk behind my back and I jump up from my seat and yell at her. "Don't talk about me! If you want to talk about me, give me back the car and stained glass I lent you!" (In reality, she is borrowing one of our cars, and I'm not happy about it. She is borrowing the Camaro I'm driving in the dream. I don't have any stained glass though) She gets angry and yells something back at me about how she gave me that car when I was a teenager, and it's her right to borrow it. I counter that my grandmother paid for the car and gave it to her before she gave it to me, so she couldn't hold that over me as it was given to her and she didn't earn it. I say that we (my husband and I) are the ones who fixed it up after she ruined it, and I don't want her ruining it again. Then I wake up. The end of this dream VERY much reflects how I feel in real life about her guilt tripping me into letting her borrow my car.

Notes:
These three fragments are all from one long-ass dream about a war being waged between two sides. I'm not sure what these "sides" were, because the characters and scenarios were so random. I don't remember much of the content that happened between the fragments.

The entire dream must have been fifteen minutes in length. It's one of the longest non-lucids I've had.

So many morbid dreams lately! I wonder what's up...

Anyways, this was the shorter of the three fragments, and probably the weirdest one too! I was in the same location as in my previous dream, Open Heart Medicine, except that it was much darker overall. The colors were paler and more dark-blueish in tone, but some browns were still present in the piles of wood and scattered items. Instead of being at the foot of the one large hill, I was about halfway up it, kind of standing awkwardly on the slope with one knee bent a little. I was looking up at the top of the hill, where the front half of a classic pirate ship was placed; it was facing upwards into the sky at a bit of an angle. It looked like the back end had been blasted off, because there were lots of shards of wood and hanging chains, along with other items, where it was cut off. The dark grey flags and sails were almost non-existent; they were very torn up and looked like they could've just dissolved into the air at the mention of a slight wind.

To the left of the ship, also on top of the pile, was a single stack of flatter black rocks that was a good ten feet in height; on top was a man; I knew that this was Legolas from Lord of the Rings. I only saw his silhouette though; it was a straight black color with no definition, as if it was a shadow puppet. His hands were on his hips and he was looking at the ship, which was directly to his right, level with him. As soon as I looked at him, the sky changed (although I can't really tell -when- exactly it did so) to a really dark red, which gradated to dark orange, and then a pale darker yellow right behind Legolas.

I looked to my left and saw a short man, possibly a dwarf but I'm not entirely sure, sitting on the side of the hill not five feet from me. He was wearing a woven Chinese sun hat and had a ginger beard, but I couldn't see his face because of the hat. He was wearing Lord of the Rings-style armor: silver, with some green and pale maroon fabric underneath, complete with some chainmail on the chest and lower arms. He had a long, skinny twig in the side of his mouth, and he chewed it a little bit.

"Legolas committed suicide," he told me with a very husky, almost garbled voice. "He was too proud to face conquest by the enemy".

I looked up, and then I saw that Legolas had vanished from the rock stack.

In a matter of moments, I had forgotten all about Legolas and the short man, and brought my attention back to the ship, but this time I was looking in front of it, on the side of the hill closest to me. There was a cross made from two wider-than-normal planks of wood, and on it was what I believed to be Dumbledore, although he looked more like Gandalf. He was wearing Gandalf the Grey's outfit, with a grey witch's hat on his head. What was so creepy about this, however, was that his eyes were wide open and his mouth made a bit of a gaping expression, and he was burned up with dark skin and yellow teeth. It reminded me of a crucifixion.

"Why is he so crispy?" I asked myself quietly, suddenly very afraid of my surroundings.

My family decided to take a trip to Pakistan to bury the dead mother of my neighbor. My neighbor is Spanish and she is crippled from the waste down. When we got to Pakistan, (which the border of is right beside our house, but in real life, i live in Indiana, USA xD) anyway, we got there, and went shopping. The WEIRDEST food was served there, including animal skulls and liquid cocaine, which I drank, and it had no effect on me. Then we went into the back of the store, and saw my neighbors mom go into the back for surgery, the doctor said "I'm afraid shes dead." then i look on a table beside us and see a bag of groceries being ruffled around by nothing at all. So we keep shopping and finally go home. When I got home, I had to go look at the security cameras for McDonalds. (yes i know VERY random) and saw some girl getting out of her car with a ghost following her. Then we leave the house to go somewhere. Our car breaks down and my mom gets out to argue with someone we don't even know. So we drive away, with bombs coming out of the sky and my dad saying something that I don't remember. apparently he teleported to the car because he wasn't even with us when we left. Then I woke up about 5 seconds before my parents knock on the door to get up! (thats it haha)

I was on a staircase. I think it was in a gym, maybe a YMCA. I was going down the staircase, and there was an identical one on the other side of the room.
