A not-so-vivid dream involving me on the computer. I only remember a very small portion of it - what was on the screen. I don't even remember where I was, or what kind of computer I was using. Maybe I could only see the screen in the dream and nothing else?

The computer screen was set to Dreamviews. I was on a thread page, and while I cannot remember the title, I had one of my own posts in the center of the screen. It looked relatively normal; the user titles and info was on the left, and the post content was on the right. My signature was missing, though, and I don't even know what was written in the comment section of my post. I had my attention on my username to the left of the post. The staff had surprised me by making me a Moderator on Dreamviews, and I was looking at my username, seeing if the processing of the change from Dream Guide to Moderator was complete. Apparently it wasn't an instantaneous change.

If someone is a Dream Guide, their username is green. If they are a Moderator, their username is blue. To indicate my account was still in the middle of processing its new status as Moderator, only two letters in my username were blue. The other letters were still green. More letters were supposed to become blue as time elapsed. Essentially, it looked like this:

Notes:
Another Marvel-themed dream! It must be because I watched X-Men: First Class yesterday at midnight.

It was daytime, but the sky about to get darker as the evening rolled in. I was outside a Shoppers Drug Mart building, which was located in the middle of a larger parking lot. This building was probably half the size of a normal Shoppers, and it was located on top of a sidewalk-like rise off the ground, just like real life. The parking lot itself wasn't too populated by cars; there were maybe ten or fifteen scattered around (but neatly parked).

I walked towards the Shoppers and noticed that there was a large lineup of people; they were double-filing, the line going right along the side of the building towards not the front entrance, but the back. I went around the building and saw that there was one door, a basic back-entrance door, which was a white pane with... glass?

Here, I remember seeing a man with black hair and wearing a True North jacket. He turned around and told me to "get lost". This didn't suit well with me, but I ignored it and walked away. I knew what I was looking for wouldn't be there - I was looking for a large structure similar to a water tower. It has a long, cylindrical base, the inside containing a winding, metal staircase with railings, and about ten feet in diameter. At the top was a golf-ball like sphere, almost like that familiar structure at Disney's Epcot, although the bevels aren't as deep, and the sphere itself not as big; half the size would be a good estimate.

I had been there before, but I forgot where the structure was located. In the dome at the top was supposed to be Cerebro, a device that could amplify telepathic brainwaves (as in the X-Men movies). I was looking for Cerebro because I had "good reason to believe" that there was a S.H.I.E.L.D base stationed underneath it. For some reason, I already knew that it was a larger, circular room with a diameter of about fifteen feet across, lots of glowing computer screens adorning one side of it, and a round, doughnut-hole-style table encompassing the whole of it. There would be chairs on the outside of this table, and lots of government papers on it.

I continued to walk; sometime during this, the dream jumped ahead. I was now in a museum-like setting. It was a relatively wide, and winding hallway. There were scenery exhibits along one of the walls, divided from the public section of the hallway by the average museum bars (or whatever you choose to call them). These bars were black and looked normal. There were quite a few people at the exhibit, which was relatively well-lit but darker than a museum should have been. There were a few spots of brighter light hitting the exhibitions here and there, but I never looked up so I don't know what the source of them was. As for the exhibitions themselves, I only remember one - there was a lot of fine gravel and pale sand, and some huge spider plants, probably three or four feet tall, on top of this material. There were some big, fairly flat grey rocks right up against the wall. A large, white but somewhat translucent dragon was sprawled along this gravel and sand; its long, oriental-style body crossed where the public would walk and ended up on another, similar exhibit on the other side of the hallway. The upper body, neck, and head curled around into a spiral. The color of the dragon was pretty much white, with a slight bit of yellow, and slightly (but not by much) transparent.

I walked towards the head of the dragon, but didn't actually go over/under the black bar and onto the exhibit; I stayed in the public section of the hallway. I decided that I wanted to exit and "try to find Cerebro again" (I'm unsure as to whether I thought that or muttered it out loud), so I started to look for signs that showed the way out. On the wall, I saw a black rectangular piece of plastic, probably only about 15x9 inches big, with a thin yellow arrow on it. The head of the arrow took up most of the space, while the line was only a mere two or three inches long. I walked in the direction of the arrow, back where I had been walking from, and then saw another one - it was facing the opposite direction. I looked behind me and got really confused.

Scene is a stuffed harbour city, with slummy houses all over, on a hillside harbour city. Like wooden huts and shops and so, on top there is a fort with guards and so. Inside sits cruella devile on a throne. Now, the plot is that I have to find a way to defeat her, and I round up all the the refuges, slum guys and so in the city. The ground is filled with weapons, and with a small force of men with weapons and armor, we march into the fort, she greets us, but soon realises our plan to assasinate her. Suddenly, she has transformed into a big Dragon! We flee, but she comes after us, and shoot fire from the air. I throw my weapon at her, and start looking for something to shoot her with. Meanwhile, some of the city is on fire, however that doesn't concern me, although it seemed to concern some of the refugees and slumdogs, as they rather put it out than killing the giant dragon. I find a bow and shoot at the dragon, but it doesn't kill her. I awake before the plot comes to an end :S

I was laying in a hospital bed. Took me a minute to realize that I was in labor. I was kind of freaking out and T was standing beside me as we were waiting on the Doctor M. I told T that I didn't understand, because I hadn't been to a check up in quite a few months, not to mention, we hadn't even had an ultrasound. We didn't know what it was going to be. He said we hadn't been in because we ran out of insurance. =/

I mentioned to T that I didn't think I was in labor just yet, and that we should wait. Then I realized that my lower back had been aching all day, and said maybe it was going to happen soon. Then doctor came in and delivered my baby. It was a boy. I don't even remember it happening, but I saw him laying in a crib next to my son, W. I didn't even notice that I hadn't named him yet.

The doctor gave me the bill which was so ridiculously high, it was about 1500. Probably more than that IWL. I was upset about it and was trying to figure out how to get some deductions. There was a nurse and my doctor standing in the hall and smoking cigarettes. =/

Can't remember anymore than that.

So, I'm at this random location, and I have this ticket that I'm so sure that will be a winner, and I'm telling someone about it. I checked my pockets a few moments later, and it's gone. I start telling my friends to search for it, and one of them isn't there anymore.

Some cop guy comes up and tells me if he were in my shoes he would just kill the guy who stole my winning ticket. During this time I can hear over the radio that the winning amount will be doubled. I'm kinda mad, but I start thinking "well maybe I didn't deserve this money anyway".

Just then I hear an explosion, and incredible hulk bursts through a wall into the room I'm in. Right now It looks like we're in some sort of restaurant because of the number of tables around, but there are a lot of walls. He's trying to kill me in the same manner as the berserkers in gears of war do. I'm making last second left turns so he ends up running past me, as he smashes through several walls.

I found huge gun and I was going to use it on him, but I found out it had a delay. He rushed at me again, knocking tables everywhere and smashing through other walls. I held down the trigger, and ran from him during his third rush....as soon as he came to a stop, I had the gun pointed at his head, and I heard an explosion, and I ducked behind the next wall.

So.. the first part of this dream was really long and depressing before I became lucid so I'm only going to give the short version.

Someone told me that my dad had died and I was like crying hysterically for a long time. Something told me that this obviously wasn't true, but I ignored that feeling for awhile until finally said to myself "this is just a dream" and looked down at my hands to confirm it. My hands had 6 fingers each, so I knew I must be dreaming. I wasn't really sure what to do so I went outside my house and this old disco music came on. There were a bunch of people, young and old, who randomly started dancing. I thought about flying but instead started dancing along and had a blast, until I lost control and woke up.

Bought myself a nice new leather-bound journal a while back to write my dreams in. Here are the first few entries:

1. (5/9/11) I remember taking a test and thinking that it didn't apply to me.

2. (5/10/11) Had a New York City dream. On the bus somewhere, I was hearing this announcement over a PA system about tennis rackets. We stopped at a Walmart for food. I feel like it was morning so the stop was for breakfast. I remember Julie telling this story to the people who decided to stay on the bus when we stopped. She said that she and her family were all coming back from a trip when they were in Dundee. They all got sick outside of this gas station and as an apology, her dad bought the biggest mushroom the store had. It was slightly larger than a basketball. They took it home, cut it into people shapes and put the little mushroom people on their Christmas tree. Julie's story was the end of the dream.

3. (5/11/11) I remember Eric getting on the microphone at DJ trivia and announcing something.

4. (5/12/11) Two fragments:

• Took place at a house in the country and I feel like it had something to do with senior ball, or what went afterwards.
• Me in the car with my dream-mother talking about something hilarious. I know that this dream was video-game-based and it took place immediately before I woke up.

5. (5/14/11) Dreamed I was in TWO three-day comas. both from car accidents. Wrecked the truck, then the Honda.

Walking along a craggy cliff path with a small group of middle earth style wizards and warriors. White sand with gray rocks and big mountains overlooking the sea. I can go see a big scary wizard who kidnapped ron swanson. Walking with me is a very young rashida jones. She tells me that I am only allowed to use certain powers in this situation. I am vaguely aware of my situation as a sleeping person. When a collection of small trolls and goblins come for us, I shoot crazy lightning bolts out of my hands. They tell me that I can't use electricity powers, that I can only use fire powers. I think hard, and I know that I'm in my bed at home. I hold out my hands and thick metal cables fire from my fingers and shoot into the rock cliffs. The people I am with are very impressed with my powers. I want to do more powers, but I know that I am dreaming, I am in my body at home and start to fade away. I begin to wake up and lose awareness of my physical dream form. I can still control my dream body but it's like I can control it using a remote from a distance. I am no longer inside my body, but rather acutely aware of myself in bed and able to see my dream self in the third person. I fire off a few more electricity bolts and wake up.

DJ Log: June 4, 2011 – 8:30AM (USA Eastern)
Text color legend: · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

I am driving up a mountain on a narrow dirt road with Chris, a friend of mine. We pull into a dirt pull-off along the road to get out to stretch our legs for a bit. The area is heavily wooded and there are birds flying around through the trees. There are a couple of other cars parked on the upper side of the area. An abandoned bus is parked on the lower side of the area. Some of the windows have been broken out and one of the windows has a metal panel over it which has been shot full of holes. There are boards tacked to a tree in front of the bus which are also full of bullet holes.

I decide to walk over and check out bus a bit closer. It looks like most of the seats have been removed and the interior is full of random junk. The bus is covered in all kinds of paintings and has “Hippie Love Bus” painted across the front. As I walk around to the other side of the bus, I find the door. I push on the door to open it, then step inside. After taking a couple of steps inside, I can see that there are two people sleeping in the back. I don't want to disturb them, so I turn around and quietly walk out. I tell Chris about it, and he says, “Really?” He walks up and knocks on the window. A couple of hippies that were sleeping in there wake up and say, “WTF”. They are quite alarmed at first, but after waking up a bit, we all hang out and talk for a while.

After talking for a while, I look around and notice how much the surroundings have changed. The dirt pull-off is now a regular paved parking lot. The wooded area is now a field with a large farm house in the distance. There are only a few trees scattered around the fence lines of the field. There is a restaurant to the left that looks like a Denny's. I look at Chris and say, “How convenient. There is a restaurant at the end of the universe.” He says, “What can I say? Do you expect perfect continuity in this?” I look at him, puzzled for a moment, then start walking toward the restaurant.

Once inside, we sit down and order something from the menu. The waitress brings out a plate with a cold can of pork-n-beans sitting on it. I stare at it for a moment, then look to see that Chris has a can of corned beef hash sitting on his plate. I say, “Let's go and find something better than this to eat.” We leave the restaurant and walk back over by the bus. The hippies have started the bus and are preparing to leave. I notice that for some reason I am still carrying my plate from the restaurant, so I walk back toward the restaurant to get rid of the plate.

As I walk, I see a lady standing behind a small pickup truck, talking on the phone. Another truck is backing up in front of it and runs into it with the trailer hitch. While talking on the phone, she grabs the truck by the tailgate and pulls it away from the other truck. She says, “I don't want anyone hitting the Memory Mobile.” The guy in the other truck gets out and apologizes to her for bumping into her truck.

I turn around and look back to see that the bus driving away and Chris is standing there, looking at me with a confused look. I wake up and cuss myself for not becoming lucid.

Why do I have such boring dreams?

I was in a building with a few people from my school. We were getting prepared for some competition. The house we were in was made out of dark wood and the sun shone through it nicely. I was sitting at a computer on DV typing something. I was also talking to Jeff777. Two girls were sitting behind me watching what I was doing, I was making a word's colour go from light blue to dark blue. I was amazed that I could do this. Eventually I started programming something for the competition. The girls told me that it was wrong so I told them to shut up, they started staring at me and then stepped back a bit. We walked outside where we put on some suits for the competition. I was on the same team with these 2 girls, they followed me everywhere and really pissed me off. We then just carried on with the games.

Realism: 7/10
Vividness: 9/10
Lucid Aids: None

I was in a big prison camp like place, run by two evil ladys. One was the boss, the other the suck up that clung to the boss for power over others. I was semi lucid and knew I could do things like fly, but didn't know I could unravel reality and do all sorts of crazy crap to those two. I phased through a wall by turning into a bird and the second in command turned into a hawk and grabbed me and drug me back. I was in a stone room, that I had to try to get out of. I phased through the wass in normal form and flew away as fast as I could. This time the second in command and the bodd both went after me in the shape of big human like birds. I looked at a WoW like map and went south, only to alter course later and fool them. I flew over the mountains to the south. I then flew in a circle around the area and went north, but I was intercepted on the way. The boss and the second in command put me in a metal room, that took me alot of work to phase out of. I was in a black suit with bones drawn on it to look like a skeleton. That meant if I didnt escape I would starve to death in there. I told myself that if I ever got out I would be kinder to the ones around me. After a bit of work I phased out of the metal prison and flew over the southern mountains, then I went west. I spotted a house and went in, I found Anthony from my school in there. He asked me how i was and stuff like that. I then told him about the situation I was in and he agreed to acompany me. I told him to follow me and stick fast. I then asked myself am I shared dreaming with Anthony? I also thought that wait in lucid dreams if I am not lucid enough I could mistake DCs for real people. I then came to the conclusion that I just didn't know either. We then phased through the wall and started flying into the sky. The dream ended.

I just noticed i wrote down another dream sometime ago. Possibly lucid, i don't remember.

Just organizing some of my notes.

"DVD/ game"
"I was on a mission to get information"
"Doesn't look like my own dream"
"Tentacles man/female"
"Charlie sheen was in it... :S" don't even like the ego-tripping mothefucka
"kwas lan is led zo/~ze" <=== i don't know what the hell i wrote down, gotta figure this out.
"Someone or something might have tried to prove a point to me"

I am in the town where I grew up (bramcote, nottingham) I remember rounding a corner that was on my school route and seeing my old school, people were flocking to it, soooo many people, it was mental. I watched a car drive up and struggle through the masses, i think to myself "how does someone drive through THAT!?"

I look down and realise i am in my car, i instantly wish i wasn't. i didnt want to try and drive through all those people.

All of a sudden i am on school grounds i enter through two red double doors and walk through another set of doors to the foyer. Im looking around as i walk, i can see the hall and i can see people sitting in reception, they are talking about me. i make my way over to the college students common room, nobody is there. i walk to the art block and there is a class filing in as i arrive, i wander if it is mine?
I find the teacher and to my surprise she is smokin' hot, Bright red, long hair, glasses, pale skin... Petite body. I look her up and down and smile, and start asking her who is in her class. I realise that this is not my class and make an excuse to get away, she follows me outside smiling and asks me to do a favour for her, to get get something. I tell her "if i have a free period, and it turns out i have no lesson i definitely will" She smile and winks at me, I think to myself "omg!", smile and walk away.

I decide to head over to the other side of school. i walk past the science block and over to the tennis courts, im walking really slowly... i dont think i care how late i am. I bump into somebody that i do not know, he tells me im in his class and we are late for english, we'd better hurry. I tell him to "chill out". At this point i suddenly remembered a game that would be played at our school. Where an entire year (grade, or whatever) picked one person and chased them, when they caught up. they usually just piled on them (it was horrible and mean, i always hated it.) just as i was thinking about the game, a fight broke out up on the hill, just pasts the tennis courts im in now. I could see it clearly. One of the girls broke off from the group and within seconds was being chased by a huge crowd of people. I giggle and follow this guy to our class.

To get there we must walk up soooo many stairs, it was just like my school. although, our english class was taking place on the maths floor, which i thought was strange at the time.

As we entered the classroom the teacher was distracted, we slip into the room undetected and find seats. I see a really nice looking girl who smiles at me, shes really pretty but nobody seems to notice her. I smile back, she blushes.
The teacher introduces himself (this wasnt my old english teacher, somebody else, a man, around 45ish)
I zone out and do no work for the entire lesson and all of a sudden its over, hes coming round to check everyones work. I panick. He comes to me and i flinch as he picks up my workbook. "You've done nothing all lesson!!!" he shouts. I quickly reply "i know, but i was planning on doing this at home".
He lets me off and i look up and see the girl again, this time i smile first, i say goodbye. She just smiles at me.

i left school and it was suddenly night, i was at a house party and i was trying to score some weed. All that was available were harder drugs and i didnt want to take them.
I walk inside a house, the room is small, with a little railing, i notice that there are stairs going....down? this whole house it turns out, was a HUGE underground complex, though the floor was sometimes un-level like a funhouse or something, there were many sections to this house and the deepest one was the size of a shopping centre. It was crammed with people. i manage to score some weed, im really happy about that and just want to leave this weird place now.

I walk out of the door, its dark and raining... On the way out i see a girl, she introduces herself and is quite friendly at first. She begins preaching about god and christianity... I didnt like this. ( i believe a person believes what he or she believes and you shouldnt try to change their minds). After a while of me arguing against her random rants she seemed to be convinced that i was evil. We were walking on the pavement, i see the bricks of the houses we are walking past. ive finally had enough of this girl, and she seems to be getting more and more frightened of me. I decide to scare her a little so she will go away.
I say calmly and quietly so only she can hear, "Evil am i?..." i grin savagely and take a step towards her. She is startled by my sudden movement and backs out onto the road and looks terrified. at this point i cannot see myself but wander what i look like to make her look this scared. i think to myself that should be enough to make her leave me alone, but in the distance i see a huge SUV speeding up the road towards her. I take a step forward to try and pull her back to the pavement, back to safety. But she screams and jumps backwards. Right into the SUV's path... It hits her and there is blood everywhere. I didnt mean for this to happen and i was upset. I think to myself "OH SHIT!!!..." .... Then suddenly i don't care any more, i decide im taking too long. I want to get back to smoke my prize, and i need to meet someone.

- Suddenly its the next day, im at school again. This time i see an old school friend, lets call him S.F. i am so shocked to see him here that i instantly walk over and sit next to him. He is having an argument with another old school friend, B.F. (no relation) about some girl at that party i was at. I sit down and say hello.
I turn around and see the girl who always smiles at me, is sitting right behind me. She smiles, seductively at me this time, i smile back and wink but she blushes instantly. I smile again and turn around, not wanting to cause her embarrassment.

The lesson starts and we get into a debate (like we used to in my classes.) I notice that the teacher is getting really preachy again and it annoys me. I notice the similarity between him and the girl from after the party. The debate continues and i try to stay out of it (often my opinions are not the same as everyone elses in the class, which is true in the waking world, i tend to keep my opinions to myself)

The teacher starts pressing me about my beliefs and i tell him i do not want to discuss them, also that i shouldn't be forced to. The teacher angry and presses me further, i tell him "i dont believe in god!" - this is not entirely true, i believe in some higher entity but i dont think of it like the bible would describe - i see how angry he is at my statement, i smile and decide to take it further. "thats right, i dont believe in god and i think that religion is the main excuse when someone powerful decides that people are in his/her way and needs them dead! i admire religions like Buddhism and Hinduism as they are inherently peaceful.
Another kid in the class asks me "surely though, you dont think Christians are evil" i reply with "of course not, thats just the kind of generalisation i am dead against" i explain that im against the religion or its followers, i am against how the text can be perceived and used to slaughter thousands, just like in the crusades. Then i finish it off with "Besides, none of this matters, this is a dream anyway!" I look back at my teacher and give him a smug grin.
He screams with rage and lunges towards me. I have no clue what to do so i just LEG IT!
I smash through the classroom door, the teacher hot on my heals. I can hear him behind me. I shoulder-barge my way through the double doors that lead to the stairs. i think to myself " i need to get down the stairs quickly" i note that each flight of steps is quite high up. I reach the first step and leap, grabbing the railing for stability in the air. I land and turn, ready for the next set of steps. This time i decide to use the wall and run down that, so grabbing the railing again, i throw my legs from under me and use the wall to run down. I get down the stairs SO quickly, i can hear the teacher screaming in the distance. I get to the bottom of the stairs turn, and head for the red double doors i came through. i push my arms forward and the doors swing wide open, a bright white light blinds me and i wake up.

Even though in this dream i Said it was a dream, i wasn't actually lucid but was slightly aware the whole time.

Good morning, everybody.

Dream #1

I was in a big room like a school gym. But there were bookshelves on some of the walls. The floors were covered with something like different-colored exercise mats. The exercise mats were maybe 1 meter long, 500cm wide, and 3cm thick. They seemed to fit with each other like floor tiles. I stood right inside this room, on the right wall, right near a door.

I walked out of the room. I was now in a smaller room. There were a good amount of people in the room, all engaged in a number of tasks with each other. The room was lit only by greyish natural light from windows somewhere.

I sat down in a school-type chair in front of two girls who also sat in school chairs. The girls looked very serious, as though they were giving me a job interview. But they were really cute and couldn't have been more than 13 years old.

As part of whatever interview-like process this was, I began showing the girls how I could sing a song. The song sounded like "Drops of Jupiter," by Train. But it was an older song than that one. I'm pretty sure it was a real song, but I don't remember the song. As I sang the song, I heard/felt it pretty vividly.

I sang lyrics that I'm pretty sure didn't match the actual lyrics of the song (if it was real and it wasn't just "Drops of Jupiter"). I pretty much had the lyrics memorized. But I wasn't sure I was getting them right.

So I pulled a newspaper page out. The page had the song lyrics printed on it. Some of the lyrics were printed in bold, possibly to highlight really important parts or really smart words in the song.

I think there was a point when I realized I didn't have the song fully memorized. But if I looked just a little bit at the paper, I could sing a long string of words. So I felt pretty sure I'd have the song memorized soon.

When I woke up, I actually remembered the tune and a couple small phrases. But they all melted away.

(Side notes: I actually spent part of yesterday evening walking through town and memorizing the song "Kurumi," by Mr. Children. I've listened to and sung along with the song enough times that I almost had it memorized, anyway. I actually thought I did have it memorized. So I was a little frustrated to see how many times I actually had to look at the lyrics.

Although, whenever I get frustrated, I also wonder why I'm my age and still getting frustrated over a rock song. Ugh... immature?)

Tonight I dreamt that I was in a small concert hall with supposedly the rest of my school. The rest of my class was playing music, and I was swetting heavily. Kids in the back of the hall were yelling annoying comments.
