non-lucid

This dream starts off with me running up some steps. I feel as if I'm escaping from something, and that becomes true as I'm tackled from behind by some person. Because I fall on my belly, I can't tell who it is that attacked me. I struggle for a bit in an attempt to get away, but I'm hit in the back of the head and I black out. The next time I'm awake, I'm on my back on a gurney and all my clothes are gone. I look around the room. It looks like the inside of a morgue, but has the feeling of a hospital room due to all the machinery and chemicals. When I look down at my arms, I see that I have a couple of these machines hooked up to me, and that one is pumping a thick black liquid into one arm, and the other is pumping a strangely orange looking fluid into the other arm. I can feel the two liquids burn where they enter and as they spread, but I'm too lethargic to do anything about it. When I look to my right side I see a man with long, dark hair in a similar position as me. However, his liquids look a different color and he seems a lot more like he was enjoying the situation. He's awake, and when he notices me looking at him he begins to scream in a very lunatic matter, "Awake! Awake! Awake!"

Two scientists quickly run into the room at his loud screeching, one to my bed and one to his. They both pick up a syringe filled with a radiant green liquid and insert the needle up the insides of our arms. While he accepts it very calmly and drifts into unconsciousness, I panic because of the severe pain it causes and begin screaming myself. It's a short lived one as I quickly black out as well.

This time when I awake, I'm sitting in an auditorium with a group of my classmates. Our principal is walking around the room speaking about something, and then she begins pointing out people to come join her. I end up being one of the six chosen. At first I'm confused as to what's going on, but suddenly I get the urge to want to please someone's wishes and a smile comes across my face and the faces of the other five chosen. One by one we begin demonstrating our powers. When my turn arrives, I begin shifting into a few animals and pick my true display of power to be a medium-sized dragon and kill and devour the first row of students. I can sense that it bodes very well with whoever my masters are. The rest of the students chosen with me show their equally ferocious powers, and then our principal walks back downstage and begins pointing out students once more. These seem more terrified than us, and I realize that I was once in their position. In the earlier part of my dream, I had been chosen to become a weapon and had been escaping from it. However, the fact no longer applied to me, so I stood passively on the stage with my fellow beings and watched as the chosen students were taken out of the room.

As for the rest left behind, we six were allowed to do whatever we wanted. The result was gore and utter chaos and destruction. As we're killing the last of the ones left behind, I wake up from my dream.

must.. rembember.. more dreams..

recurring dream about a girl on msn without her boyfriend name in it.. it's like the 6th time now or so.

some guy made mushroom tea, said it failed so he gave it to me. i drank it, tasted like mushrooms.

When I woke up last night after this dream, I didn't have any way to write it down, so I mostly forgot it. I think it was a medium-length dream. I was on a boat trying to give out CDs to needy people, who would paddle up in their canoes to get their CD and then paddle back to land. But for reasons I can't remember I was really worried about something.

*I am somewhere around highway or motorway. There are several train lines and I can see many trains staying as if there was some train traffic jam. I can recognize one of the trains, it is Pendolino with its typical white, blue and yellow colours.

**I am walking down a long street at night (dream sign). It looks like a motorway with two lines in each direction. I notice green lane for cyclists. As the cars pass in both directions it creates the lines as when one takes picture with long exposure. I notice that the lights reflect on the street, it must have been raining recently. Then I notice that along the road, cyclist lane and pedestrian lane are light slopes everywhere, with colourful rings as the light sources. I am amazed (not realizing it’s a dream). !!!I think to myself, that they should turn down the intensity of the lightning because it burns too much energy (as it hurts my eyes), but then I think to myself, “This is just the way it is these days.”
By my right hand side is a large garden surrounded by forest. It has precise rectangular shape and there is a large mason like house at the far end. Then I get this (as if) message from my mom and my brother to go home, to that house, where I apparently live. (I am not sure I can see them though). I realize that it’s the 12th of March. It’s my birthday!!
Next I am in one of the room of the house. There are two large sofas, one of which is facing away from me and the other facing along...on which my mom and my brother sits. I look at them and then I notice that behind the of the sofas are some presents. I can recognize foldable green bike and a big box of LEGO and some other things. I feel touched. I feel like crying out of happiness or being loved. My mom asks me what’s up. I only shake my head to give her a sign that I am fine, because I feel that if I start speaking I would cry.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Was out drinking last night and I didn't expect to dream much. I got alot of sleep though so the REM rebound kicked in, resulting in a very long dream. Was too tired to write things down properly and lost most recall of a lucid.

01.00: Sleep

08.30: Driving DILD
It's dark out and I'm at work. I once again have to lock up all the containers myself. Suddenly I realise I'm dreaming. Something's off with my vision though and I have to really struggle to raise my eyes from the ground. I can hear someone walking next to me. I finally get my eyes up and stabilize the dream by focusing.

I spot a silvery car and I walk over to it. I get in and yell "stabilize now!" as I do. Everything becomes clearer, cool. I start the car and take off. I go around the construction site for a while before coming up to a very sharp turn. I will the car to stay on track while maintaining speed. I spot a big crane lying on its side up ahead and I hit the gas. I go up on the crane and jump, spinning as I do. I decide to let the dream go.

11.00: Wrong medicine
I'm with my coworkers Björn and Valdis. We're at some medicine store in the middle of the forest. Valdis had bought headache medication for his wife, but the guy had scammed him. He confronts the guy behind the counter and slams the package on the desk. "This is blue berries!" he shouts at him. "The very thing she was getting headaches and stomach aches from, and you give me more?" Valdis is very upset, and the guy behind the counter is apologizing. "I'll be back in 15 minutes" he tells us and walks through a gate.

Me and Björn get in a car and start going down a hill on a road. All of a sudden he stops the car. "I don't want to miss this" he tells me and starts backing up. I buckle up and man are we going fast. I'm sure we will crash any second and I hold on for dear life. After a while the car stops and we get out. I walk up to the man selling the medicine, he's holding another package along with the previous brown one. I spot something green which says something about tattoos. I start asking him questions about medicine and he seems like a reasonable guy, selling herbs and stuff. "What do you call your profession?" I ask him. "Pharmacist" he tells me. Makes sense.

I spot a few lions behind the gate leading up to a trailer, and all of a sudden a black panther starts licking my hands. "He seems to like you, or you've eaten something" the man tells me. I let the panther lick my hands for a while and gently lead him through the gate and close it. "I want some pain killers for my wrists" I tell him. Since I was with Valdis who had apparently offended him, he tells me I can't tell him my name. "You will have to draw a map as we go instead."

I look around and realise we're in a huge mansion, standing in the lobby. I grab a paper lying on a table and a pen. Someone's already drawn a map up until the door the herb guy is at. I draw a line and an arrow. We head through the door, someone other guy is with us now. The room is filled with lions. "You have to pass through these levels" the guy tells us. The lions don't do anything and we all go through a second door. This room has zombies in it, but they appear to be very slow. They reach for us but I easily dodge them and push some away. "Are we allowed to kill them or what?" I ask. "You do what you gotta do" Herbman says.

We burst through the next door unharmed, but the zombies in this room is a whole other story. I quickly run to the right and head for a cabin standing in the middle of the room. The other guy goes left towards a new door. "Let's go through here!" I shout and open the cabin. It's got a weird spike statue in it. "Nevermind" I say and kick a zombie in the face. I punch a few more and grab one with telekinesis, crushing his throat. I hear a scream and head for the other guy, but there are just zombies everywhere. I punch and kick them all to death, and all of a sudden one rises. It's the guy I was with. I hit him in the face and head down a hatch.

"Congratulations" the Herbman says. "You're the last survivor, now we do it all again. Everyone remember your roles and read the books for guidance." I read the first page of the book I'm holding. I'm some kind of black woman apparently.

11.00: Fragment
I'm watching my coworker Nicke play the game "Entropia Universe." He's got very heavy weapons. "The other rifles just had burst, I wanted fully automatic ones" he tells me as he's taking down a very big creature. I'm amazed. An explosion sends him flying through the air and I try to help him go to the creature he killed to claim his loot. He lands several kilometers away. I laugh.

11.00: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 10 hours

Supplements: Lots of alcohol

That's it! I intend to get lucid tomorrow morning, and teleport. We'll see how it goes.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

Good morning, everybody.

Dream #1

I was standing out in some kind of open, desert-like plain. I stood with a woman, possibly my mother. We looked up into the air and saw a space shuttle lifting off -- all by itself, and with no exhaust.

My mom and I may have been talking about the shuttle. The shuttle then did a loop, somehow flipping around so that it was also upside down when it returned to its original point. I knew that this meant something was wrong with the shuttle. The shuttle then fell and crashed into the ground, topside first, not too far away from us.

For some reason, something in particular struck me about the back, top fin of the shuttle. I think I was surprised that the shuttle had crashed into the ground, but that the back fin was still intact and erect. The shuttle was smashed in other places and was overall covered in red soil and dust.

I saw inside the shuttle. Some woman who was apparently my mom's friend, but who actually looked like LP, a friend of my friend H, was the only person in the shuttle. She was older looking, kind overweight, with frizzy-curly grey-blonde hair. She wore a greenish t-shirt.

The woman was buckled by both shoulders into the pilot's seat. She looked a little exhausted, more like she had run a long race than like she had just been in a shuttle crash. We'd thought she was dead. But it was now like she was fine.

She herself was apparently worried that she wouldn't be able to fly the shuttle again. But apparently the shuttle wasn't completely wrecked, and it would be able to fly again.

Dream #2

I was in a bedroom in my old friend R's apartment, with my friend R. My friend R reclined on his bed. I either stood or sat on the floor on the side and near the foot of the bed. On the other side of the bed there was a wall-height, wall-length window. On the other side of the window was a wide staircase that ran down the side of the wall. It was night outside, and there was just a dim incandescent light in R's bedroom.

R seemed to be talking on the phone. But he was also talking to me. It was like we had had a pretty nice conversation about some slightly intellectual subject familiar to us both. But apparently I was also getting ready to leave. R asked me if I was coming back to his apartment later on to have dinner with him. I told him yes, but I don't think I was really planning to come back.

Dream #3

I was in my boss' bedroom. All the lights were turned off. My boss was in bed. I stood right next to the bed, although I feel like I may actually have been very short, as short as if I had actually been sitting by his bed. I may also have been doing stuff like packing clothes into a suitcase.

My boss asked me if I'd be coming back to work after a certain amount of time, possibly a few weeks or a few months. I told my boss sure, that I'd be back. But I really didn't think I'd come back, and I kind of hoped I didn't get sucked back into everything.

Dream #4

I was in a subway car, kind of like the car of a 3-train, with the silvery-reflective walls and green-white fluorescent light. The car was only moderately full of people, and I felt like I was with a couple of friends, maybe younger girls. I was standing, standing-swinging from one of the horizontal bars over the seats, with my back toward the seats.

As I swung, I sang "My Heart Draws a Dream," by L'Arc en Ciel. I could hear myself very clearly as I sang. It felt really good to sing.

But then Hyde from L'Arc en Ciel stood up from a seat across the aisle from me and walked up to me. I may have stopped singing for a moment. I felt bad for singing in front of Hyde. I obviously wasn't as good as him. I didn't want him to think I was making fun of him by singing his songs.

But Hyde just smiled gently at me. Somehow his looks implied that he was listening to me patiently, almost like a parent might give an interested face while his child sang him a song. So I may have started singing again. But now the song sounded just like the L'Arc en Ciel song, as if I weren't singing, but the song were being played from somewhere.

Dream #5

I was in a dark bar. The bar was so dark that the bar and the wall behind the wall all seemed to be just as black as the shadows. There was like coming from some area on or behind the countertop, and the bottles and mirror were lit as well, so that these things were all a gently bright, incandescent white.

A woman stood behind the bar, and another woman sat in front of the bar. This bar was apparently a karaoke bar. I was already singing a song, even though I don't think I held a mic. I thought the song I was singing was a Bob Dylan song. But it was actually the L'Arc en Ciel song "Bless."

The woman sitting at the bar asked me if it was difficult to sing this song. I said, "No. I know these lyrics pretty well. I'm a big fan of this Bob Dylan song."

The song hit the instrumental part, and suddenly I felt like I wasn't familiar with the song at all. But right before the chorus was about to start up again, I remembered how it all went. But, as I sang, I may have been singing along with the actual song, instead of a karaoke version of the song. At this point I may have realized I wasn't singing Bob Dylan.

no attempts to MILD or WILD this time- i was too tired, as i was up very late. A more vivid dream this time, with something approaching a coherent (but by no means rational) story.

DREAM STARTS
It's my birthday again, and i'm on a long riverboat/houseboat-ey type thing- however, it seemed to be much larger than expected. The man who owned it was a tour guide, and he said he had to go, and asked me to cover for him. He quickly explained the controls, and left. People started boarding the ship for the tour, and I had to pilot the boat and give the tour, despite not knowing the area. We went past a few familiar locations, including the church near my college, despite the fact that it's about a mile away from the sea, and at least 2 miles away from any rivers.
When people had left, i opened a birthday card. It was from someone who I hadn't seen since i left high school. The card was an invitation; She said that her father owned an island off the south coast, and that we were welcome to go there as a holiday. After reading it, i looked out of the window. There are zombies running about on the bank, with a few tumbing into the water to try to reach the boat. We decide that the safest place would be the island, as it is isolated and sparsely populated. I then find myself in a supermarket, which i recognise as being the one near my mother's house, some 200 miles away. An employee walks up to me, and i recognise it to be an old friend i hadn't spoken to since he dropped out of college.
I then wake up on the island. The person who sent me the card, Jess, was standing there, telling me that the zombies were on the island. We retreated to a manorhouse surrounded by open fields, and suddenly i found myself in command of a medieval army- 'controlling' them in a similar manner to the Total War video games. I remember ordering spearmen to break a cavalry charge; the cavalry appeared to be the zombies riding giant boars. I woke up shortly after that.

DREAM ENDS

I'm noticing a bit of a trend of shop-related dreams. Although it's different shops, could that be a dreamsign?
Also, HOW i didn't realise i was dreaming i have NO idea... Clearly my grip on reality is tenuous at best..

I tried to WILD after WBTB, but I fell asleep. I can remember only the part where I entered lucid.
I threw a basketball and it caught fire. I did an RC and I became lucid. But, I awake.
This won't count as a lucid dream, because I can't recall it clearly and I didn't do anything as lucid, only realized at the end of the dream.
I tried to WILD multiple times, but I cannot. Sometimes I fall asleep, sometimes I spend 2 hours without anything happening. What am I doing wrong?!

ok, so i had no recalls on night 2- probably due to exam stress. Also, a day late posting this, since i was a bit busy yesterday

DREAM STARTS

We are travelling by car to a coastal town somewhere in the north of england. There is an unknown woman in the car with us, holding a device that looks like an ipad, but much larger (about the size of an A3 sheet of paper) This isn't working correctly; the screen is glitching out, throwing up random swirls of colour. Upon arrival, we enter a shop, which, although looking fairly large on the outside, is actually my local cornershop on the inside.
The device then tells us to go to a fictional island; We boarded a ship, but i have no further recollection of the journey, which takes several days. When we arrive, everyone I was travelling with has disappeared, except for the stranger. Her device tells us that we need to go back home. She then turns into a spanish woman; I didn't recognise her, but was friends with her, apparantly. The device has gone.
The dream then changes, and I'm watching a documentary about dangerous animals. There is a clip of a snake attacking a man, but the snake has many rows of very large teeth, similar to a shark. The attack is quite graphically violent. A series of other animals is shown, becoming increasingly more unlikely, until the narrator is standing next to a cage, feeding the animal inside it. The camera angle changes, and i see that the animal is a cockatrice.

DREAM ENDS.

Ok, so slightly more vivid than night 1. My attempts to MILD failed, as did my WILD attempt upon waking- This, however, was met with marginally more success than usual- I started feeling heavy, as if i was partially into Sleep-Paralysis, and i was getting occasional random images. Nothing approaching a dream, of course, but.. an improvement, surely?

Non-Dream/Lucid/Non-Lucid

I dreamed it when I was little. I tried to remember this dream as hard as I could. Between the first and the last dream I mentioned were a lot of more dreams. I remember I was frustrated that I couldn't wake up. I don't remember anymore the middle dreams, but the rest were so vivid even now I can remember it as I dreamed last night. It was kind of interesting so I though of writting it down and share it with you!
I was in the bad watching TV with my mom sitting on a chair near me. My mom suddenly disappeared. From my room I saw coming a shadow. (the fun part here is that we have 2 beds in the living room...after my mom disappeared I was suddenly in the other bed) I got out of the bed to see what's going on. The shadow was doing what I was doing. I tried to salute it and it saluted me too. I tried to jump on him and he attacked me. I was scared in that moment. I ran away to the kitchen to bring a knife...
When I came back the room was empty and that shadow disappeared. The only thing that was left in the room was one of the beds on which I was sitting, wondering what is my mom gonna say and how would I explain her a "magical" shadow came into the room and stole all stuff from the house! Then I realized it's a dream! I couldn't control it at all.
If I saw the things would just get worse and the shadow was coming back I tried to suicide to wake myself up. It somehow worked, as it sent me into a room with a buddy. He asked me if I want to dream anymore. I said no and it sent me into a room with some purple walls. There all my stuff from the house were alive and were trying to attack me. I was scared and when I was sent into that room I totally forgot it was a dream so I woke up.

Just as a note: This whole dream was in anime form. I was riding in a air balloon to go visit a kingdom in the sky to visit my friend(who is also the princess of the kingdom). So I arrive and land the air balloon and when I step off, the princess comes from nowhere and jumps at me and gives me a hug and I hug her back(Although when I think back on this, isn't jumping at someone near the edge of a floating kingdom thousands of feet above the ground a bad idea? -.-'). She then grabs my hand and takes me to meet her other friends. There are 6 of them, all them are also royalty from nearby kingdoms(I was the only non-royal in the group). We hang out in the kingdom for the rest of the day(although i don't remember what we did) and tomorrow the princess wanted to go down to the city below and shop and stuff like that. The next day, I was making a dark yu-gi-oh deck(why, i have no clue. it has been awhile since i had seen anything yu-gi-oh related). Then I went off to where we were supposed to meet up. But one of the guys was blocking the door and he was with the princess. He then slammed her into and through the door(which was made out of glass and wood). She has some glass imbedded in her arms and body and was bleeding some but was otherwise ok somehow. I immediately take on the guy, but he didn't fight like a human(im guessing a demon or some screwed up experiment). He clawed at me with actual claws and when i tried grabbing him from behind, he twisted his head 180 degrees and slashed at my chest. Eventually though, I killed the guy.(I don't remember how though). I fight the rest of them, one after another as well, but I don't remember much of it at all. I do remember a butler helped me against the last of them, some girl. When it was all over, my shirt and chest had been shredded and soaked in blood but I felt fine. The princess ran to me and I held her as she cried. I do not remember a lot of the dream and some parts I just made up some stuff so it would flow better, I am not sure if what I put in those spots are accurate or not.

Dream Type: Non-Lucid
Dream Vividness: 7.5-8.5
Other: The dream was pretty detailed, but I can't recall the dream in sequence.

It starts out at night. I am sitting down criss-cross style on someone's backyard. It's a very clear night. The moon is big and plump in the sky and it's very bright. There's other houses next to us and theres no fence in the back. I remember sitting next to Charles Trippy and maybe Alli. (I don't get why theres alot of famous people in my dreams. XD) We were either just sitting there in the backyard conversing or having a camp out. I don't remember.

The next thing we know is that there was a howl in the back near the trees and the full moon and it seems that in that town it meant something dangerous or that wolf would come attack. We got up and ran as quickly as possible to a rock staircase type of thing and I could see a bunch of other children hurrying to escape. I went onto the top of the staircase and there was some sort of boat, crate, type of thing. (Those things the window washers are on when they clean tall buildings except there was like a huge L shape one that was going on a river to help us be safe.)

Next I remember us holding on the a railing because the part that my friends and I were on flipped over and it was pretty easy to hang on to the railing so we wouldn't fall into the water. (The wolves might have been in the water after us.) The thingy flipped back over and everything was okay. I can remember looking out to the city on the shore of the river and it was a very nice view. Alot of city lights.

Then I woke up.

June 24, 2011

Notes
Staying at my grandmother's house currently. Slept a really long time. Kind of a crossover from World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King, probably elements from reading too many fantasy novels.

Entry 013
I'm in a restaurant, and at first I'm eating by myself. As time goes on, though, I see a large group of people sitting to my right. I walk over to the group and realize that it's the entire Jackass cast. I sit down at the head of the table and join in on their conversation. They're so funny I'm practically breaking down in laughter. I vaguely remember going to the bathroom and something about Gene Simmons being in there or something.

----

Now I'm wandering around some kind of deserted island nation. The ground is flooded with a thin layer of water about 2 inches deep, but my feet never seem to get wet-- It's as if I'm walking on top of the water. I see two girls here, both of them tall and skinny wearing athletic clothes. They appear to be sparring each other. The shorter of the two is obviously winning. I walk up to the shorter girl and challenge her to a boxing match. She's obviously several years younger than I am, so I'm not worried. She puts up a good fight, but I win.

Just as we finish our fight, I notice a huge ship as large as several mansions cutting through the water nearby. Suddenly the water around us becomes very deep, and I fall in, unable to see the bottom. As the ship passes by I begin to be pulled toward the rocky cliff behind me. There's some kind of whirlpool forming there, apparently caused because someone pulled out some kind of key stone in the cliff wall.

I'm swimming as hard as I can, but the whirlpool is too strong. I know I won't make it. Just as I'm thinking this I spot a loose rope coming from the side of the massive wooden ship. I grab hold and pull myself up to the side of the ship. Cut into the side of the ship is a platform with a metal dragon sculpture over the top of the entrance. Walking into the side of the ship is almost like walking into the belly of a monster. I pass through a hallway and eventually come out into the belly of the ship, which is apparently some kind of coliseum.

There are seats everywhere, and the area gives off a kind of ancient feel to it. The thick wooden columns and seats remind me of the viking era. Even though the coliseum is apparently ancient, all of the seats are equipped with modern-ish devices. One such device is a bone arm rest which has rolling letters with which to enter book titles. Why book titles? Not sure.

There is one section of seats in particular with glowing red glyphs above them, but these are empty. Only potential competitors are to sit here. As I look around I notice in the center arena a giant throne at one end. Upon the throne is a man with full polished steel armor, black cloak, hood and glowing blue eyes. In one hand he holds a massive, glowing blue sword, and I understand this is the "Lich Sword", a sword imbued with the power of the dead. This man is the king of this realm, whatever it is, and only the winner of the coliseum gets the opportunity to fight him and potentially take his throne.

At once I see the first match is going to be boxing. The first competitor enters the ring, and I see it is the girl I challenged and beat earlier. Without really thinking, I jump down into the challenger's seats and am teleported into the arena. Again, the battle is a bit of a challenge, but I still win. I'm teleported back to the seats before a kind of magical forge. The forge glows with a yellow light and a sword, similar to the king's Lich Sword, spawns there. I take it. This is my first prize-- the "Earth Sword".

Suddenly, I'm transported back into the ring. I was foolish. This is far from over. The same girl I just defeated reappears, only this time with a team of other people and a giant black panther. She and her team jump onto the panther. I realize I've been tricked. The girl was an agent of the king, purposely luring me into joining the tournament. I mount my own panther, but without a team. I don't think I can win.

I wake up.

Last night I had a dream in which I was in a cabin with a lot of my friends from school. There were also some teachers who were helping students with their homework.

My brother suddenly asks me if he can go watch a movie with his science class. I tell him it's okay and he runs off.

I then see a girl ask one of the teachers for help. I turn to my friend and make a mean joke about the girl. My friend laughs and tells me to shut up.

The dream shifts and I'm sitting at a table in the cabin with two other guys. I notice that it's really dark, and I tell one of the other guys to turn on the lights. The lights are really dim, but I shrug it off.

I find my final exam from my English class sitting on the table. I pick it up and start going through it. My teacher tells me that I need to have legible handwriting, and that my essay was better than everyone else's because they talked about the character's childhood fears. My score was: 6 6 6 1. I look away from the paper, and when I look back I can't find the words anymore.

Suddenly I'm walking out of the cabin with two friends. One of them is very distinct and the other is a mix of two people and very blurry. We walk through the hallway and the blurry friend yells my crush's name. I yell it to, but she then tells me that they're gone.

We then find my brother in his science class, and that is where the dream ends.

1. I place a mail order for two large grey discs of "questionable literary material." They arrive in my backyard at a bad time, as I'm playing something with my brother and my mom is on the patio talking. I keep my cool and wait until night to bring them in, but both parents are still puttering around. My dad goes outside to get a radio; I perceive him like guard from Metal Gear Solid. I make a mad dash past him with the discs under my arm, then run up the stairs, stash them under my bed and get ready to go back out. My brother then enters, dressed in a little green man alien costume.

2. I'm playing some sort of Disney/Halo crossover game. Its first level is a straightforward run and gun with an HMG, but the second is sniper mission that my dad and I can't beat. I scan a crowd of faces with my scope, but don't see the character I'm supposed to kill. I shrug and give up, and the sniper nest turns into a hotel room.

3. I'm biking at a local college, where I see my friend C.W. I invite him to have lunch with me.
