non-lucid

Deleted

I know this was the last of a few dreams, but I don't remember the others--this is the most boring one though.

I was running a film festival for school and I was facilitating the entire event.
People started showing up and they all wanted pancakes. I started making pancakes but not fast enough for the people that wanted them. And for some reason no one would sit down without me first putting a chair down for them. (it had a slight resemblance to diner dash in view and action).

I at some point sat down with a friend from school Alyssa G. and she was talking about it is almost her birthday and she is turning 26. I was confused because I thought she was WAY younger that that (irl she is 19) I tell her it is a week until my b-day and I am almost 21. She is surprised at how young I am. Suddenly my old friend Alex I. is there and he is talking to me about school. He says that we are going to graduate at the same time and we should plan making a film together. I was confused because even though we started at the same time irl he dropped out for a while and started going to another school in a totally different major. I decided not to bring it up and just agreed to what he was saying.

I go back to making pancakes and am putting one at each station people are sitting at. I then have the extremely lame epiphany that "when people eat pancakes, they want more then one! they want a stack! " I start making them faster. But all at once I know that no more people are coming and I tell everyone to take the pancakes at empty seats. They do, and everyone is good to go.

I stop and relax until cleaning crews come to clean up the event.

1. I'm cripplingly depressed, but I'm riding my bike anyway to meet my brother behind an old Blockbuster in my hometown. The store has been repurposed into a porn store, and I go in and buy something. I see my mom exit from the nearby Walgreens, so naturally I drop the porn and meet her. Rest of DJ is unintelligible.

2. I'm hanging out/jamming with my friend Scott A. in the basement of my house. Q and S.T. come over. I go to greet them, but in my clumsiness I start a chain reaction that breaks a bunch of lamps. None of my friends seem to particularly care, but I grab a vacuum cleaner anyway. As I go for it, I realize I'm hungry. I take the vacuum with me and grab my bicycle, heading to my college cafeteria. Along the way, I am insulted about my age by Nathan S. and other jackasses from college. I ignore them and head into the cafeteria, where I first enter the bathroom.

3. I'm playing a Star Trek version of the TIE Fighter video game. I successfully pilot a starfighter against impossible odds, several capital ships at a time. There's then a "trench run" sequence as in Star Wars, where I follow a freighter into a massive building. It's decorated as a nightclub for giants, and there's a critical spot on the floor that I need to shoot. I can't keep my craft steady enough to shoot and use the tractor beam at the same time and fail the mission.

Written at 3:20 AM

I had a dream about me and three other guys in my study abroad group -- Aaron, Fusto, and Micah. We were in Kansas and then we went to a convenience store. At the store, I bought a pack of cigarettes and something else and they charged me $6000. So we were shocked. Then I looked at the cash register and it actually said that I owed $0.21. So I pointed it out and only had to pay that much.

Then this old lady was driving us around and I told her not to hit the deer. The lighting was weird. You could see all the deer's legs, but you couldn't see the actual deer. And I was terrified of us crashing into them.

I remember seeing a buck and telling the old lady, "don't hit the buck or the antlers might kill us."

Micah was excited because he'd never seen deer before or something. And then the sun started to come out and we could see all the animals. The deer were hard to see in the dark.

(I obviously need to pay more attention to numbers and stuff written down in my dreams. If I had recognized the glitchy cash register as a dream sign, I might've been able to get lucid... Gotta pay attention to that kinda stuff.)

Last night it took hours to fall asleep and it was a real pain.
When i finally did i was dreaming i was in the lounge talking to my flatmates and was finding it hard to put my sentences together. I explained that it took me ages to get to sleep and that my brain wasn't awake.

i woke up and wrote this one down then went back to sleep and dreamt that i was teaching a bunch of children some wholesome life lessons. I remember saying "okay, now i'd like to teach you about ideas" but i forgot the other lessons.
wish i could've stuck around to hear what i had to say!

Bed @ 10pm
Wake @ 2:45 am
Bed @ 3:30am
Wake @ 9am

Before bed: 2 caps Theanine Serene

Non lucid: I was walking up a path toward an ornate pavilion, where two lines of women sat facing each other. The ones facing me were dressed in "Tibetan monk" robes but they were different from IWL, more Thai style. The path changed as I got closer and became covered in pink lotuses. I wasn't sure if it was ok to walk on them, and I noticed that the women on my side were taking communion, and I hesitated and sat on a round circle of white cloth on the ground which was prickly, because I wasn't of their religion so I didn't think I should participate in the communion.

In front of me, a priestess/monk woman was talking to my friend Ceanna, and told her that she had something different for her, and from behind her stuck a tissue in her mouth. Ceanna whooped and danced around and seemed to enjoy whatever it was she received.

Then I was closer in, sitting with the women. They were passing around what looked like a wedge-heel shoe. The woman to my left said, "When they pass the pig around you should ask for the money. They give it out to people, you should tell them you're a good person and (you'll do good with it?)."

The shoe came my way and I passed it along and said something that I don't remember, I remember that it felt false and like I was repeating what I heard them say and it didn't really make sense. (Obvious reflection of longtime issues of not fitting in or not belonging.)

Woke at 2:45 am (planned to wake at 3:30 but earlier dream woke me up so I took supps and went back to bed).
8mg galantamine
500mg choline
2mg melatonin

Okay....here goes....

Non-lucid - I was holding a small child, in the dream she was my sister K. We were talking and enjoying each other's company. I saw that her 3rd eye was open, it was sort of blipping in and out of sight. I told her that I noticed it was open, and as I observed a whole row of eyes opened across her forehead, very beautiful and sparkling. Someone came in to take her, and commented on how happy she was and how well she was doing. I was really sad and upset that they were taking her and pleaded for them to let her stay with me since she was doing so well.

gaps after that, just an image of another baby who may have been evil, who insisted on vomiting on me and it was a big thick stream of something white like lard (with gold in it) and I was trying to avoid it and get it off of me

Woke up at 4:30, had forgotten to turn my normal morning alarm off, slowly back to sleep.

I decided to go ahead and sleep on my back and take a chance on SP.
At some point after that, I feel myself paralyzed and I roll with it, managing to take a deep breath and consciously transforming the feeling of fear to excitement as best I could. Then I begin rising up and up to the top of my room (looking back I might call it an OBE). I am feeling pulled by a force, still feeling paralyzed, I do my best to relax into it and not fight it or freak out too much. I am pulled or float to one side of the room, and bump the wall, I can still feel the feeling of the sheetrock brushing my skin.

I floated from there, across the room, bumping the ceiling fan, and bumping into the opposite wall.
I see a small round alien ship outside my bedroom window, and I realize it's playing the Close Encounters music. The ship looked like a miniature version of the Close Encounters ship, with the beautiful lights which are shining in through my blinds. (Even though I knew I was dreaming, the feeling of my body rising and hitting the wall and ceiling fan was so real, plus the music from the ship, I wondered whether my neighbors could hear...)
I finally start to have a little bit of a grip on the dream, and I hid in the bathroom. I didn't want the aliens to get me!

Ok ok I'm a little more coherent now and decide to go out to the ship, I'm dreaming, what's the harm? I step out of my bathroom and next thing I know I am on the ship, seemingly alone. I walk into a room and in the center of the room is a bench that looks to me made of pewter or silver, with filigree scrollwork. I wonder if that is where 'they' do their research, if they are going to try to do the anal probe (lol) there or what...

Oh, I catch a little more snap. This Isn't Real. So I began digging into a wall, and the wall gives way. I continue to dig through layers and layers of what looks like brain tissue, until I get to a pocket where there is a large green grub nestled. I pulled it out and tried to squish it. It tried to attach itself to me so I ran a few frequencies through it to try to fry it or change it. Finally I asked, "how could this thing be dead?" waiting to see what happened. I think it then changed into a black circle that tried to go back into the tissue and I chased it down firing frequencies at it until I think it fell out and off into space (I hope!).

---Next scenes, I'm not sure of the sequences ---
---I am in a tent with a guy who wants to kiss me. I'm not lucid, and not very conscious so I push him off and notice in profile that he's not very attractive to me. I asked him who he was and he said something like he was one of a bunch of pixies that would go through the portals between worlds and visit. He looked at me face-on, and I think he had only one eye on the left, and on his right was a row of flashing LED's across the browline.

---lucid - I am on an planet that I identify as Mars, because it is so dark and hot and murky. I notice a big pool of dark fluid that seems hot, and I decide to dip in it because I know I am dreaming. It didn't really feel like anything. I ask the dream to show me something important to see, and I'm suddenly in a gym that reminds me of the 80's, with women in 80's workout gear doing aerobics. I'm wondering why the heck am I here? Then I see a group of friends who are looking at me like they are angry and annoyed. It seems that I've disappeared on them without an explanation and they aren't happy about it. I ask if I've done this before and they say yes, apparently that is why they are so irritated with me.

---non-lucid - I am walking and see a former friend walking past me to my right. She doesn't even seem to see me. I unexpectedly screamed, "F*** you, Jenni!". She turned and looked at me, and I fell on the ground and started fumbling between apologizing and not, feeling terrible, saying how I was really hurt by the way our friendship turned out and it wouldn't happen again.

Then I begin walking and walking and walking in the dark, through mountains. Somewhere along the way there are Boy Scouts that I consider asking for a ride. More walking and walking, somewhere along the way I lost my shoes and was concerned about my feet being torn to shreds. I walked into a house and found some shoes "that my mom gave me" that didn't quite fit so I wasn't sure if I should wear them and if I did were there any socks around.
I also remember being on the side of a mountain watching eagles fly over in the dark, and they had amazing luminescent wings.

Then I finally woke up.

Well, I didn't get lucid or get to the pyramid but I did recall this:

__________________________________________________ __________

Me, NightSpy2 and someone else were playing Laser Tag....I started owning up and then I walked/the dream changed to this chick from school, she was giving me money...I was like "WTF???( She freaking hates me in RL)" But she told me that is was for me to buy Inception...
__________________________________________________ __________

I can't believe I didn't LD!

Before I start, I want to say that I live in Denmark and I know nothing at all about the english royal family, nor do I know if they actually have a princess around my age.

So the dream started off with me having an affair with an english princess named Cam or Cami.. something like that. The media knew nothing about it.
Then at a conference or alike, I went to her and kissed her, with press cameras rolling and everything. She kissed me back and the media went wild. All of Britain was amazed and excited about their princess having a boyfriend. You won't believe how amazing it felt, and I really wish it was true. Later on I looked at YouTube and saw all these stupid montages that lonely 14 year old crazy, british girls make about Cami and me.

When I woke up I felt sad because nothing that great has ever happened in my life.

Dream 1: The girlfriend and I were married. She looked completely different in this dream, but I knew it was her. Somehow we were on a ship; I can't remember if she got sick before or after being on the ship or if the dream started off there or what. In any case, when I went to see her we grasped hands and I could see both of our weddings rings - mine was blue sapphire and hers was this big round silver thing with a clear jewel in it (something she'd never wear in real life!) So she's sick, and doesn't have much longer to live. She's really skinny, her hair is stringy, and she's really pale. We spend time together talking and cuddling.

We don't know what she has but the ship nurse or whatever wants me to wear gloves/a mask, which I refuse to do. So later on this same person is talking about how they're going to "sink" the ship, which in this dream meant intentionally crash the ship to cover up evidence of the illness so their company doesn't get blamed and ruined. There'd only be like four people on the boat when she did it, including my dream-wife. For some reason we'd all accepted this as fact and were pretty upset. We were supposed to evacuate, but I was contemplating remaining on the boat as they crashed it and drowning with her.

Somehow we find out that her illness isn't as bad as we thought, and that she'll have a greater chance of surviving if we can get her medical care beyond what the ship is able to offer. I end up picking her up and carrying her off the boat in her fragile state. It was difficult because I was afraid of hurting her. No idea how the ship got docked. That's the last part of that dream I remember.

Dream 2: Most of my memories from this dream aren't in order. I'm in this eating-type place, not sure what it is, and people are doing dishes by climbing up onto the counter and doing them in the sink from there. It was a huge counter and doing the dishes was like an obstacle course you could crawl through. I do dishes this way a few times, then one time I go to do them and they're being done. I avoid the area for awhile, then I decide to help out. This guy pops out of the sink, he's fully submerged in it and asks me not to touch the dishes. I say okay and we get into a conversation; he tells me his name is "Noh," he has long blonde hair and an australian accent/look with an asian name. Anyway, we're chatting and flirting some and then I say goodbye and he asks me if I'm going to give him a goodbye kiss. I SO want to, but instead I just say "no" because I'm taken. I have to say "no" several times because he keeps asking.

So I'm finally able to walk away, and I end up laying down looking around the room for the girlfriend. There aren't many people around. Suddenly more people have filtered in, and the place turns into a gay bar and there's this guy trying to convince a girl to have sex with him since they're both gay and he wants to know what it's like. I think he also might have said something about using each other to hide from society. I briefly it's the guy I met earlier, but it isn't. As more people come in I start to notice that everyone, men and women, is topless and some people are leading some other person around with a scarf. I ask why everyone's topless but don't get an answer, and figure it's some party I missed out on the previous night. The girlfriend comes in soon too, and she's wearing a dress, which is unusual so I figured she must have been topless too but covered up before coming.

This part of the dream I'm pretty sure before everything else, but it's really fragmenty so I'll just list the main points. There was a girl around my age who kept getting drinks/food for some guy, and she was complaining about feeling like a waitress and knowing exactly what he would order. We were in this large auditorium type thing and I think we were watching performers or something, not exactly sure why we were there. A large chunk of the dream happened in said auditorium but I can't remember much of it. I remember the place was all white, including the seats, and I think I ordered a pop at some point. Pretty sure g/f was also there.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID NIGHTLY ADVENTURE

Good morning! Well, the shelf threatened to fall down on me last night again. Monica wrote down what I said before I woke up for real.

22.30: Sleep

23.50: Nightly Adventure
*I wake up and grab the shelf above my head. "Oh shit! Can't this thing be removed?" I hold on for dear life. I come to my senses after a while, and my arms are pretty strained.

05.10: Fragments
*I've got two weapons. An uzi and a p90. I shoot with both of them.

*I'm giving my friend Eric a ride. "Are you doing something later?" I ask him. He tells me no and then asks me if I've ever played with Aquanina. "She goes AFK all the time."

05.10: Scammers!
I'm in my apartment when someone knocks on my door. I don't feel like opening. All of a sudden I can hear keys turning the lock. What the hell? I walk towards the door and it opens. Two foreign women are trying to walk into my apartment. "What the fuck? Who are you? What do you want?" I ask them. They start making up excuses in poor Swedish. I know their intent though! They want to trick me.

"We got your laundry" one of them says and holds up a basket full of my clothes. I lecture them both, this is not how things work in Sweden. "I even owe you fifty crowns, remember?" I ask the girl with the basket. She looks at me surprisingly. I've got them. My mom shows up and I realise she must have been the one who opened the door for them. We start yelling at eachother for a while.

05.10: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 6½ hours

Supplements: None

That's it!

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

I. Holorgram Witch-Ghost→ Pizza Box

I will explain this dream as best as I can.

I am sitting in my living room of my house, much like I was shortly before going to sleep last night though I cannot remember if I was drunk in my dream as well. Suddenly M.B comes into the house; he’s apparently just gotten out of work. He has my bottle of whiskey in his hand, which is a little under half full. He upturns it and I’d say about a third of it goes in his mouth, the rest soaks his clothes and the carpet. I get pretty bent out of shape about that.

Flustered and not sure what to do I say “Well, I guess I’m going the fuck to bed then.” As I walk out of the room I see that several of my guitar pedals are set up on the floor, very near the pool where the whiskey has spilled. Wondering if they are now damaged, I go over and pick them up, deciding to take them upstairs with me to prevent further incidents of stupidity. They have some fine mist on them but are not damaged. However, as I pick them up and try to negotiate getting them all into my arms at the same time I’m pretty sure they begin multiplying and popping up in different parts of the room. I think I eventually get to a point where I’m contented and walk upstairs to go to sleep.

The dream jumps completely – suddenly I am on BHI about to head back to my house. The only reason I know this comes afterwards is that I am still pissed off about M.B spilling my whiskey. I am standing on a boardwalk that runs through a very thick forest with a building behind me. As an unknown person is talking to me I suddenly see S.A. She tries to tell me something, but not quite knowing what to do or who to listen to I hold up a finger as if to say ‘one second.’ She walks off and talks to someone else though.

As I am walking down the boardwalk toward what I’m intuitively guessing is the ocean, somebody (female) asks if I’m sad to be leaving. I tell her “I’d much rather be in Wilmington.” At this point everything that has happened so far is completely gone and the dream completely changes; I’m even reluctant to not separate this into 2 dreams but I have a feeling that this was all linear.

I’m suddenly at a children’s play that my sister is directing, or producing, or involved with in some way like that. I am sitting on the floor with her boyfriend waiting for it to start, which seems to take hours. I don’t remember much about it, except that the ending involves this evil hologram witch-ghost. She flies around the room, including into the floor, yelling out death wishes and generally very obscene things. Apparently she can be defeated if you stab her, which is how the play ends.

The dream now takes another jump, and this is the most difficult part for me to understand. I start out in an unfamiliar house, and a bunch of us set off on some quest. I do not remember if I am aware at the time of what the quest is. My memory of this section is pretty shot too; I guess I couldn’t quite deal with how little sense it was making. Either way, our quest ends with an encounter with this same hologram witch-ghost. We are in a large square room, the floor seems to be a white marble type material, and it bears a great resemblance to the room that I.B and I saw my sister's play in but I don’t think it is the same room.

I experience an incredible feeling of déjà-vu. I had thought that there’d been a gun in my backpack, which I look for but cannot find. Suddenly I remember, “oh yeah, she’s got to be stabbed!” I relay this information to everyone around me, still digging in my backpack for something sharp. All I can find is a capo and some screwdrivers, which I decide to use. The first couple screwdrivers I pull out are very small and will not penetrate lethally. The hologram witch ghost has just taken a dive under the floor, and will soon swoop back up to make a strike on me. In the nick of time I find a screwdriver that will be long enough. She flies down in front of me and I plunge the screwdriver downward into her.

Suddenly I’m looking at a pizza box, which I have just stuck a knife into. I still hear the scream though, which escalates greatly as I begin turning the knife around in circles. I look around and I am now back in the kitchen that I set out from. There are many brownie trays full of good looking but unidentifiable food, which I sample for awhile. Walking into another room I see M.B again, but this time I am no longer pissed off about my whiskey.

Dream - Lucid

I was helping my extended family come to America from Germany so they would be safe from the Nazi army. They weren't Jewish, but they were in danger of being drafted into the Nazi army.

I remember being in an airplane with them. I don't remember seeing an specific family members, but I knew we were on the plane for a long time. We were flying over from Germany to America. I remember seeing a lot of my family sitting in the back of the plane, only the seats were set up more like they would be on a bus.

I then remember driving down a road in my town in the daytime. But then, I was out of the car but still on the road. My grandma was with me. I told her
"Don't worry, you're safe from Hitler now."
She didn't respond.

~

I lived in this huge manchine. I remember I had made friends with this bigger black girl named Olivia who looked kind of like this girl I know named Bri in waking life. We were walking down the street. She was walking her dog. We talked for awhile, and she mentioned to me that I was invited to go to this recording session in Missouri. It was being done by this guy that I know in waking life who comes and records some of the bands that play at the coffee shop I work at. I wasn't actually going to be doing any singing or playing music, but I was going to be doing technical stuff. I remember reading a letter from the recording guy that was inviting me and giving me details of the trip. Olivia had been invited too.

Then, Olivia asked me to grab her this weird writing thing, it was like a caulking gun but it had ink or paint in it. I gave it to her. She then spray painted some of the pillars at my manchine. They were originally blue, but the spots she painted on them were yellow. She painted some other things. The whole time I was telling her to stop and asking her what she was doing, but she never listened.

I then remember being back in the manchine. I was in a room with lots of waterways that led to outside. I saw my cat, Belle, jump into the water and start swimming. There was another cat swimming in there too, a black one I think. I was afraid Belle would swim outside and I'd lose her. She tried to go outside when someone opened this door in the water, but they quickly shut it again so she couldn't escape.

My mom then got mad about Olivia vandalizing the pillars outside the manchine.

Then, I remember practicing what I was supposed to be doing at the recording studio. It was almost kind of Guitar Hero-esque; I had to press some button every time a note came up. The notes looked like little colored boxes. I wasn't doing very well; it was moving too fast and my timing wasn't right.

I then remember talking to some people in the manchine. I think I was in my room. One of the people in there was my friend and coworker, Tori. She had also been invited to the recording session. I asked her if she was going, and she said no. She then said she didn't think anyone from my town was gonna go. I then told her I probably wouldn't go then either. She said it was typical that no one from my town was gonna come to the session.

I was then driving around in my car, just thinking and driving like I do so often in waking life. I then started to think about dreams, and did a reality check by counting my fingers. The first time I counted five, but I did it again and counted six. I was dreaming! I counted my fingers again, and counted 7 or 8. I then made a ton of fingers appear out of my hand. My hand looked super crazy! I shook my hand and all the extra fingers disappeared.

I then floated up through the roof of my car. There were 2 guys with me, they were behind me. We were flying around above my car. It was like we were flying through a city, there were buildings on either side of us. They were an orange-red color. I looked into the sky. It was a beautiful blue and spotted with clouds. All the clouds were shaped like different things, but I can't remember any specifics.

I examined my hand to try to keep the dream, but I lost it. I don't think I woke up, I think I went into a non-lucid dream, but I can't remember exactly.

Dream Lucid Note

Tricorder Wartime Sex Toy
In the military. Members of the patrol have small black wii remote shaped sensors that record external stimuli. Obstensibly they are recording traces of the environment like on star trek. They talk abou thow they are using the devices to record blind women having sex so they can reproduce the perfect virtual sex toy for combat operations. They are describing this in lurid detail before they relize that the commander is standing behind them.

Medicine Assassin's Creed
Running around on rooftops looking for medicine. Assassins's creed dream. As I wake up I can close my eyes and see the dream. I can move my eyes around and continue to dream.

Enter the Matrix
Sitting in my living room playing a video game. Suddenly on the screen is a computerized image of me sitting on the couch. I realize that I am dreaming. Take a breath and move slowly toward the television. As I get closer the television gets bigger. The tv emits this crazy hum of static like an old tv would. I stick my head inside the television and the image of myself distorts while the static hum envelops my head.

Hold Still DEILD

Flight Failure
I am on a rooftop and realize that I'm dreaming. I dive off head first to try to fly but I fall and land on my head. When I land I wake up.

THis was this mornign and was fucking weird.

Michelle Bachman Homosexual Reeducation camp
I was watching a movie about these gay christian guys who go to texas chainsaw massacre style haunted house that doubled as one of those Homosexual reeducation camps. The men are gathered in a cramp hallway while a larry the cable guy looking hillbilly with a pair of overalls and a shaved head flipped a switch on the back of a shitty hall of presidents style statue of an old man made of rubber. The old rubber man statue gave a speech about how with a strong will and the right training, you too can control your unnatural urges of homersexuality. After that the inductees were killed one by one in the style of a shitty horror movie. One guy had his hand chopped off and bled to death. Another was told to change a lightbulb with a "saftey harness around his neck" he slipped and hung him self.

[SIZE=3][COLOR=#1E90FF]I was playing an army game on the computer. The setting resembled the desert level on Counter Strike. Me and this guy named Sen or Syen (can't remember exactly) were looking for the last guy alive on the other team. I found him hiding on a rooftop. I ran to Syen shouting, "Come quick!" We run for the guy hiding. At some point I check the player list and see me, Syen, and Sobo, so Sobo was the guy hiding. We're trying to kill Sobo but he kills Syen. I end up shooting this guys hat off and at some point or another, it somehow shifts into a real setting, like I'm actually there instead of playing the game. I run for cover around a corner as Sobo is telling me about how he was going to join the army and give up his life for his country. As I'm hiding around the corner, he's still talking to me about the army while slowly approaching me with a rifle. I see two guns on the ground, a shotgun and a black revolver. I pick up the shotgun. I take a deep breath, cock the gun, move around the corner and pump about five shots into Sobo's chest. It doesn't work!? I throw down the shotgun and pick up the revolver. The revolver is rather large and black. You load the bullets in like a normal revolver, but you have to cock it back like a modern pistol, and after cocking it back, you need to thrust it upwards after each shot, kinda like Ghost Squad. At this point, I'm circling this guy because he's going so slowly. There are already bullets in this gun, so I cock it back, aim straight for the back of his head and fire, no hesitation! It still doesn't work! I thrust it upwards and shoot again, nothing. Again, nothing! I fire over and over with absolutely no results. I get cornered eventually, and Sobo ends up shooting me. But... I'm still alive? Sobo didn't shoot me. At this point, Sobo is no longer a man, but he is a black half cat half man creature with green eyes, still wearing the military camouflage.
He says, "I was just trying to help."

The dream fades, but it was just a false awakening.

I tell my brother about the dream I just had, and explain how Sobo was just trying to help me become lucid.

1. I'm in study-hall, about to do some doodling in my notebook. The teacher says I draw too much and that I need to use study-hall for reading instead. So I reach into my backpack and pull out a rather battered paperback copy of The Silmarillion and locate my bookmark.

2. I'm an elf, wandering through a forest. There's a blackish-gray wolf following me, but I figure he's just there to be helpful. Then one of my former classmates knocks the wolf away with a huge hollowed-out log and starts chasing me. I can occasionally hold him off with a spell, but I have very little power.

3. I've been captured by an orc slaver, along with several other elves. The orc also keeps several huge owls on a leash. I try escaping several times, but I always get caught. Invoking the name of Elbereth doesn't help either. Eventually, we get to this hotel where the orc finds out he's only going to get about $8000 for the elves he's brought in.

4. Outside my old high school, I'm about to set out on a journey with a couple other elves. We stop to gather bundles of a special kind of long grass that can be simmered to produce a nutritious and delicious soup. Somewhere along the way, my companions get replaced by two of my (human) former classmates. There's an abandoned house that's still fully furnished, so we stop there. I set about the task of making dinner, but my classmates keep messing with the recipe. Then they let in this beggar-girl who starts stealing various objects in the house to sell.

5. I'm trying to eat some macaroni and cheese, but I keep getting sent away on errands, so I can't have any. I go on a huge rant about how you really don't want to find out what an elf with low blood-sugar can do.

6. I'm trying to solve a sliding-tile puzzle that's booby-trapped with water balloons.
