non-lucid

My sister is picking me up from this place near the mountains. We go to a gas station and I go to the counter. I freak out a little bit and fall to the floor. I get up and think that I'm sort of losing it and my sister looks a bit concerned. We go back to that house and I think there's now some zombies there.

I'm in this open space that has a hill with a temple/building at the top of it. It feels like we're in a videogame. In the distance are these roads leading to another place. I think it's good vs. bad and there are teams of people. I fly down off the hill onto a road. I remember thinking I was gliding very far and I had done this before. This place felt really old and familiar. It felt like we were years in the past. On the other side of the map is this factory building. The bad guys are in there. I think they're horde but it's just a large group of people. They're flying into the building and I'm hiding on another side of this train. The train is actually surging and jiggling me around as I'm trying to hold on and hide from the horde. I go back to the hill and there are a lot of people surrounding this temple. I'm calling out to a particular girl thinking her name is KSHMR which IRL is a guy DJ but in the dream it's a girl. I start to fly up in the air. There are these tennis courts or basketball courts with giant black gates. I'm flying around sort of like spiderman jumping off of these giant black gates while yelling out to girl KSHMR. I was wearing my pink/white kimono.

I was standing by a door somewhere. Natalie Portman approached me. It had been a while since I'd seen her (fake dream memory of past event that never happened) and she was happy to see me. Other characters where there, too. She walked through the door, but then turned back and kissed me. Which was great. I think she was really fond of me by what happened last time. After she'd left, the fool that I am had all sorts of feelings for her and wanted to pursue her further.

Non-dream stuff - Woke up at around 8, not recalling any dreams apart from a very vague visual fragment, lost it and decided to sleep more, waking up again around 9 recalling a single long-ish non-lucid.

---

Dream:
Me and my partner (H) arrived by car at some pizza restaurant; I remember H backed up to park near the building, but he was parking towards some plastic tables and chairs. He was aware of them and stopped a couple of inches away from them. There was a small bump noise and when I got out there was a waitress from the restaurant asking "is everything ok?" and I looked closely at the chairs/bumper and said to her it was all fine, and she accepted it.

It was night time... H was going to sit outside (unlikely) and I was going to order the pizzas, in the dream it was implied we usually did it the other way around; I walked through the entrance doorway, which had no door as I remember. It was a dimly lit restaurant (probably contextual residue that far too many bloody restaurants are now, I'd like to see what I'm eating) and I walked towards the counter to make our order.

There was a guy at the counter and a waitress on my side and she said she'd take my order; she looked happy and not just for the job, she just seemed happy. I said I wanted two pizzas, one would be the bacon and cheese melt or something (for my partner) and she said "oh I'm sorry but that will be double because of (?)"; she then showed me a menu trying to explain why, because in the dream memory this was implied to be new at the restaurant. She explained they were changing how some pricings worked and that all the outside was going to be reworked by AI over the next few days. We concluded the pizza I was ordering would still be the same price (9 something came into my head in the dream but no figures were spoken). She said OK and I said the next pizza would be with "some (?), cheese and some onion", thinking that I would like something salad-y with or on it. As if she knew exactly what I was thinking, she asked if I wanted some rocket lettuce or something but she said that I couldn't have any because they were out, so very oddly the choices instead of that were some sort of beetroots or cubes of lard... The stuff was all shown to me in the counter, which had become one of those with glass and the food in it (like at ice cream shops and sandwich bars).

I said it was fine and thanked her and all the while we were talking she kept getting distracted by her co-workers. One of the other guys was some German guy that came from Berlin on a plane which caught fire mid-flight and landed here. They even had some pictures on a wall of the survivors? Whatever the photos were, they made me accept the story.

Then I remembered to ask "oh, do I pay now or after?" and she said "uh, whichever". I said I'd pay now. But as I did, lots of people started entering the (previously) quiet restaurant. They sat at every possible table, as if on cue for something to happen. The waitress faced the counter and started talking to the guy over the counter I think.

I waited, starting to be a little annoyed by the fact it had taken this long to do the order (it felt like a long time). I looked around and I can't remember what happened (something did) but all of a sudden everyone was singing roughly and half were clapping in a slow rhythm. I joined in the clapping and then shortly after, two people started chasing each other and the clapping stopped a moment after, but then they stopped chasing each other and sat back down.

As all the clapping and clamour happened, more people were entering the restaurant, including H, who I could see clearly from a distance, head illuminated by a spotlight as he came in.

At the same time, the waitress next to me dropped all her clothes. I was still waiting to pay, I initially glanced at her naked body but then just looked over the counter, wondering when I was going to be able to just pay for the order; I also automatically performed a reality check with my left hand after she got naked. But unfortunately I concluded the amount of fingers to be correct and I didn't remember to test the solidness of the reality. I felt like I was right in the centre of view (more than the naked girl) and felt awkward doing my RC there. Nobody in the restaurant was shocked (I wasn't either) but she started laughing and saying something to someone on a table near me; she was facing the counter the whole time, so most of the restaurant would only see her backside, as I was to her right, and to her left was a wall. Something about the "AI works" came up again at some point.

I remember being outside again, and some sort of game-like thing happening (regarding organising of the outside layout with AI) but I can't remember in detail.

The dream ended soon after. I think I still have the lingering feeling of being annoyed by not being able to simply pay.

Fragment
I remembered a small fragment while writing the long dream, something about H wanting to buy or take a car overseas. I remember a weird wooden house place with triangle glass windows and very strange layouts. It was day.

Quite tired so I'll leave notes for now.

Find the one without a mask

There were a lot of people everywhere, they were all around my age. So in their early 20s basically. What I noticed was that they all had animal masks on, covering their faces. The masks looked really terrifying and I couldn’t help but to feel very uncomfortable when looking around. The swine mask seemed very popular which also happened to be the most scary one. I was the only one without any mask and therefore felt very scared and alone. As I kept looking around, I noticed a guy standing in a corner staring down at the ground, without a mask. Suddenly I felt so relieved and walked up to him to say hello. When I came closer I saw that it was Jay. He was really shy and as he spoke, I could easily tell english wasn’t his first language but I already knew about that. He even tried to speak spanish but it went hilariously wrong and I couldn’t help but to laugh. I told him that he could sit down since he seemed so nervous because of the other people with the masks. He smiled and we kept talking.



Note: Jay is from a Kpop group, iKON.

I remember walking on my grandparents house which has been deeply modified by my dad. He’s not there anymore. It’s night and I see somebody’s shadow on the outside. I go down the stairs to see who is it. They’re two drunk vampires who sit there. The doors are made of crystal. They turn to see me and start to behave aggressively. I put my fingers in a cross shape to scare them out. It works, I don’t follow my question on how could something like that work. I come back and see one of the doors my dad carved on one of the walls. I remember I use to dream such things. I know it’s not a dream because I know it leads to a nasty bathroom. Dream goes on without even asking about all the weird stuff...

Non-dream stuff - woke up a bit before 9 but didn't recall any dreams. Woke up again around 10 recalling some non-lucid stuff.

Fragment 1:
I was playing the game Freelancer, it felt as though I was "in" it; I was in a system that doesn't exist in the game, though I've dreamed similar systems before. It was like the Omicron Alpha system and some of the Sigma systems.

It was a high level area but for some reason I was in the starter ship, and all the NPC ships were showing up red (hostile); despite this, they weren't actually attacking, more like they disliked me rather than hated me (which wouldn't show up as red in the real game).

I don't think there were any planets in this system and there was one star and I could see some asteroid belts in the distance. The "sky" had some blue nebulas and bright stars but was mostly dark.

Dream 2:
I remember being in a small and cramped kitchen, the ceiling was kind of low, especially for a kitchen. There was a fluorescent light that lit up the entire room. In the kitchen were myself, my partner (H) and our friend (M).

Can't remember what we were initially talking about, but while we all talked I crouched next to the fridge and opened it to have a look inside; the fridge didn't seem to have a light inside, and as I opened the door I hit M with it by accident. I said sorry and he said it was ok. I hadn't realised he was standing just there, somehow. I couldn't find anything I wanted really but I can't actually remember what was inside the fridge.

I got up and closed the door and saw the time on some red 7-segment display: 17:09. M mentioned he was going to go to bed in a few seconds, I showed some surprise and asked "shouldn't we be having dinner then?" and we apparently hadn't had lunch yet, as H said "well, make it be our lunch too then".

I think M was considering whether to eat before bed or not, and I think I asked what time he was getting up at, which he said would be 7AM or something. I walked in the opposite direction from M, past H, who was sat on a chair, and on a counter there was a pile of stuff under a tea towel. I took it off and underneath were some ready-made food packs, like chicken with noodles and vegetables. I grabbed one that was open, implied to be leftovers, and grabbed a nearby fork and ate some of the chicken. It tasted a bit... bland. I was disappointed and the rest didn't look that appetising; in fact, the rest of the chicken in this pack looked a bit pink and like it had a few white spots. But I knew it was cooked properly because these packs come pre-cooked and when I tasted some, it didn't taste raw. I nearly questioned all of this but the dream ended.

---

Some notes:

• When I used to play Freelancer, going to higher end systems in a low-level ship wasn't too uncommon for me; the dream hostility implication being that most of the factions I'd want to ally with are ones that you start off as being hostile towards, and the other thing is that if I was starting a new game, because I was good at avoiding shots, there were good wreckage and freight piracy spots in some of these areas, giving a quick boost to being able to get to a higher-end ship sooner.
• I mostly remember seeing Outcast and Lane Hacker factions in the dream. The appearance of Lane Hackers in the dream is strange because they are allies of the Outcasts but I almost never interacted with them.
• In the second dream, M seemed a bit sad or upset and not really up to talking. This is probably residual from his current real-life situation.
• The pink bits on the chicken looked odd because they were on the outside, where the chicken did look cooked; because of the small white spots, I think I probably would have concluded it to be some sort of bacterial or fungal growth, had the dream carried on. I should remember to do a RC when food tastes funny or bland in general.
• Although I remember arriving at the kitchen from outside, I don't remember an outside or a previous dream.

I'm in a strange drea and there are nonsensical events going on. This event was on TV and it was about two mini fighters going at each other in a paper bag. I end up with the paperbag and I can hear the commentary talking inside and the people are at the bottom of this brown paper bag ready to go at it. I lose interest in that and left from the lit livingroom and now is in a dark place. A live wrestling even is happening in this room and it feature wrestlers that you probably never heard of because it is a tiny and hidden business. Anyhow a wrestler is announced as Butter pig Brundy and his music starts to play. It is an upbeat comical melody and the tron shows a pink pig that looks happy with a partially opened stick of butter above him. The enterence is strange and looks like home made drapes. He'll probably come from behind those. I waited and nothing happened and realized that the drapes I was seeing are the blinds in my room because I woke with my eye open expecting him to show up from behind them.

Wakes up fully and go back to sleep.

It was now daytime and I'm in my room, watching TV.I have three TVs in my room and two of them are on. The middle one and the on to the right of it, sitting on a table. I only saw what was on the middle one that featured some kind of ad. I didn't pay it any mind, was just sitting there at the foot of the bed gazing around until I saw the person that was talking on the screen. His image was distorted and seemed like it was pulled away from the edges of the screen since all around him was white. The TV was broken and now is not displaying the image right. He face is all crumpled up and distorts as he moves around and talk about stuff. The most prominent thingI saw, was his mouth. It looked like it was bestial because it had pointed teeth.

Non-lucid dream, [Commentary made while awake]

I'm looking out my upstairs bedroom window in our family's house [our first one that I lived in as a kid - the one that didn't have upstairs bedroom windows, it was only one story in real life], watching my parents and sister drive away in their new Honda SUV. They drive up onto a freeway offramp, where they get out of the new SUV and get into a different vehicle [bus, I think?]. The now-empty SUV is a self-driving car, so I watch it come back down the freeway offramp and drive itself along one of the main roads through our neighborhoods. I realize that if we're going to get it back, I'm going to have to go chase after it. I know that it's brand-new, my parents just bought it, and since I'm home alone, I'm now responsible for it.

I run out of the house and chase after the SUV, on foot. You'd think it would either keep going in a straight line and crash into something, or else it would be programmed to either pull over and stop or come back to our driveway and park itself, I think, but no. It's programmed to follow the streets and turn at randomly-selected corners, of which there are many in our tract-home neighborhood. Fortunately, it does so very slowly, slowly enough that I almost catch up to it a couple of times, even running after it on foot. I follow it into the neighborhood on the opposite side of that main road I mentioned, just north of the one where our house is. I lose sight of it and yell, "NANOOK!" before I remember, It's a car, not a dog. It can't hear you. [No surprise it's a Honda; my parents have been loyal to them for many years. The odd part is that they never name their cars in real life.]

I finally see Nanook the Honda SUV parked nose-in to the chain-link fence at the front of somebody's front yard, which stops it for long enough that I can get close, but it gets away from me again before I can get in. [I think - my memory gets fuzzy here. It was a fun and amusing dream, though.]

Non-dream stuff - Woke up at around 9:20 recalling one or two non-lucid dreams, sat up to make note of one of them and forgot the other.

---

Dream:
I was in a town I don't recognise and it was night time. I was head to some place and then I ran into a stray dog, which looked like a mix between a dalmatian and a husky or something. But it was very scruffy and some fur was missing. Though I felt sorry for the dog I was initially wary that it may be aggressive or carrying fleas.

It got very close to me, rubbing against my legs but I kept moving on and it kept following me. I was going into some sort of garden/park and there were small trees but they made enough shade even at night that it felt considerably darker now. There were pairs of wild cats or something and they did look aggressive.

I was avoiding getting too close but the dog following me started growling and barking at them, I said "shh silly dog, stop that!"

The cats didn't react very much, but I was afraid they would but the dog stopped provoking them and continued following me.

Eventually at the other end of the park there was a brick wall, part of a building. In the wall there was a square doorway, literally a hole in the wall.

Inside was a small dark room and there was a mini shower for the dog and some dog shampoos and things. I turned on the shower or it came on by itself and the dog became a person. At that point I thought the dog shampoo might not be such a good idea anymore since it wasn't meant to be used on people.

Then there was some transition and it was implied I was on the other side of the building; it wasn't as dark now, it was starting to become day. There was a dirt path and a barn or something and a boy with a backpack.

I was here like the boy to do some sort of exam, but I remember I had some pills, 4 or 5 of them and oddly enough I put all of them in my mouth at the same time, and struggled a bit but managed to swallow them. They were all different colours, as I remember holding them and looking; white, light blue, magenta and something else.

Then I walked towards the barn and I remember walking up a couple of steps and entering. I think someone was there but my memory of the dream kind of ends here.

---

Some notes:

• The dog was smaller than I would expect for either of the two breeds it seemed to be.
• The cats looked a bit like lynxes or bobcats or something, they were fairly big but not much bigger than the dog.
• The bit with the pills was particularly odd; I never carry pills around, but of course there's some contextual residue that I take supplements before bed sometimes. The fact that I took so many at the same time was odd too because it can be difficult to swallow just one large pill without a drink, let alone a few more at the same time.
• I remember the dog shampoo bottle looked a bit like a plant feed bottle; it was plastic, red body, green cap.

Non-dream stuff - Woke up at 6:30 with the first dream, then at unknown time had the second dream (fragment) and then woke at 9:20 with third dream. Made note of all on phone initially.

---

Dream 1:
Mixed location of my home town with where I live now. Recycling was being collected and it was morning. I remember coming to pick up our bags back but they were only "half-empty", as were everyone else's. Other people were there, also disgruntled for that same reason. I found some vintage gear in the midst of this, but for some reason I felt like it was stuff of ours to begin with, so I wasn't sure how they'd got there. It was morning and cloudy.

Some sort of transition, then in the car with my partner driving away from town; I said I didn't like the route we were taking, as it was transitioning from town to massive red canyon-type cliffs and we were going at super high speed on a ring of red rock suspended in the air (like something you'd see in 90s sci-fi racing games). It was a clear and bright day at this point.

After the canyon, we were arriving at a megapolis and the sun was setting. We parked up on a hill away from it all and started walking down to a large concrete pillar. It had what looked like cash machines embedded into it, but they weren't cash machines; they were some sort of tourist information points, and the machine would teach us some local lingo. I spent some time on it reading the words and trying to pronounce them correctly. It reminded me of Pidgin and Jamaican. When I was at the machine, I made particular note that the person on the other machine looked like one of my aunts (G) but thought no further about it and assumed it a coincidence.

Then there's an implied transition that we went up somehow. We were now in the lobby of a grand place; it was a casino, carpeted, wood paneling, etc. Before I got to the reception I remember this black girl; somehow she looked like a younger and female version of Morpheus from the Matrix, and also without sunglasses. Her mouth was distinctly like his, she could have been his daughter. I don't remember what we talked about, but at one point I started to feel like she was pestering me/following me and I and my partner (H) just moved on to the reception desk. H was talking to the receptionist and there was an implied topic of H's mom having recently passed away. I questioned this a little bit but some sort of dream memory made me assume it was true.

Whether it was a memory of the dream or a real memory, I was certain I'd been at this casino before. We were being given far more points than last time, and I could see there was a wooden framed number counter with 6 digits behind the reception desk, on the wall. It was the money I had available? 22000 it said; so I went down to 20000, and got in exchange some 50000 points or something, including to spend on some sort of "casino skills" like it was a game.

Then all of a sudden we were teleported into another part of the casino. I could see myself in third person and I was some character wearing a light blue outfit. H wasn't with me anymore, I was confused and the dream ended; I woke up just as confused, sweating profusely, feeling like H was missing, when H was actually just next to me in bed.

Dream Fragment 2:
I was in some sort of large mansion or house. I don't remember much about it apart from zombie-like people, except they weren't rotten/rotting. They were alive and well, apart from being mostly mindless. I had some sort of special powers that I could use with my hands. I vaguely remember a selection interface.

I tried the powers on the zombies, and they would mostly have the effect of making them behave differently or responding to commands from me and the like. The last ones I tried were on a woman, none of the powers worked on her. She had a white cardigan top and had short brunette hair and brown eyes. She became aggressive when the powers didn't work and started trying to gouge my eyes out with her thumbs; my eyes were closed and I could feel the pressure but I grabbed her arms with my hands but somehow she gained an extra arm; at this point I started to question what was happening, but the dream ended soon after.

I don't recall when in the night this dream occurred.

Dream 3:
Me and H were in our kitchen. It was night but instead of the kitchen having a rolling blind at the window, it had 2 curtains. Couldn't see very well outside at first. I was naked and started to become concerned about people looking in and seeing me naked, as the kitchen light was on.

When I looked outside again, the outside looked bigger and smaller in some aspects vs waking life. It was bright now too, I could see lots of traffic on the climb behind our house, which was odd for this time of night. But there was a full moon with a violet glow; the glow reflected on clouds too and it was quite beautiful and interesting.

I could see the top of a street lamp post and I looked away at something and back at it and it started to fall, albeit slowly. H became very concerned it would hit the work shed, but I could see clearly that it wouldn't and would land on an upper tier instead. The traffic was still heavy and I found it odd that nobody had stopped, even lorries just going through the road. Did they phase through or just smash the pole into bits? There was no noise of vehicles hitting it. It felt like a "physics bug".

The dream ended soon after.

Fragment:
I was playing some sort of strategy game, possibly a space strategy game, and I was in a lobby menu and my partner was going to play with me; then one of my siblings (T) joined the game lobby too. I remember discussing the game with T too.

Dream Sequence:
It was night time, I was in some sort of rural backroad and there was a little girl, blonde I think. Some snakes started coming out of the hedges and going toward the girl, but very very slowly. There was a car some 100/150ft away with headlights on; the dream implied it was mine, and I went to get inside the car to drive over to the little girl and grab her to take her in the car (why didn't I just do it in the reverse order?). The whole scene happened in third person view. I entered the car and drove up to the girl and got out again; the girl got confused because of the strong headlights on the car and squinted and covered her face and was confused; and I was about to grab her to get her into the car but dream ended.

---

Some notes:

• The game in the first dream fragment will again be a waking life echo of playing something like Homeworld again.
• In the dream, I don't remember feeling threatened by the snakes, nor do I remember thinking they were a threat to myself; but they were clearly distressing for the girl.
• Only when writing the journal entry now did I realise it was an odd order to go about things, when I could have just grabbed her before getting to the car, especially given how slow the snakes were.
• For some reason, as I recalling the short dream, the snakes made me think of hares, and then the October competition. (Do snakes hunt hares/rabbits?)

Non-dream stuff - Woke up between 8 and 9, few details recalled of some non-lucid fragments, but some of those also lost due to writing this much later.

Fragment 1
Was in a spaceship of some kind, remembering traveling through a star system that had a gas giant planet that had a smaller planet lodged on its surface; I remember approaching the smaller planet and entering a blue sky atmosphere and I remember feeling both forces of ascent and descent, but always going very close to a horizontal parallel, so the forces weren't that strong.

Fragment 2
Some sort of transition with the first fragment where I was a giant and going through a city. Few details remembered now but I distinctly remember feeling like the perspective wasn't quite accurate (the field of view seemed too small).

Fragment 3
Doing something "naughty" with my partner, in a large concrete room; there was a bulb hanging from the ceiling, tungsten. There were a couple of computers that we weren't supposed to be using or something. The room had a door but it was more like a barred door, so it could be seen through. I remember feeling like somebody could intrude at any point.

---

Some notes:

• The first dream (fragment) has probably originated from recently playing Homeworld again a bit. Another game I used to play from the same era was Freelancer, which was another space game. Often, using a system editor in Freelancer meant you could do weird things like the two planets in this dream fragment.
• Though normally I would consider the second fragment to be a possible dream goal (like for the October competition by KarlaB18), I do not consider it detailed enough to actually have achieved that goal. The fact that it occurred is a positive for me because I rarely dream of subjects I'm very interested in or want to have fun with.

In this dream, I am going into 10th grade in high school. In this dream, my middle school is able to hold 10th, 11th, and 12th graders, and so I am moved back there. I am given the same home room as when I was in 8th grade in real life, but the normal teacher is missing. Instead there is this mildly balding middle aged man with black hair and square rimmed glasses. He introduces himself and then once he says "I am Mrs. F's replacement" I whispered "yes!" in excitement. He then went over to me and told me that Mrs. F was fired. When I went to talk to one of Mrs. F's assistant staff, she burst into tears of joy at the realization that her freedom of speech had been restored and she was able to express her opinion. In the dream, I eventually went back to my high school.

Dream No. 447 - Almost A Front Row Seat

I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, I was in this completely unknown area, about to enter the auditorium for this concert being held by past X-Factor artist TH. My mum told me what seat number I was supposed to be in and when I actually entered into the auditorium, I realised it was actually so close to the stage! Things were taking place afterwards in the foyer with TH as well but I have forgotten then specific events. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

Dream No. 446 - Separated Sections

Dream 446 A - You're A Part Of Us
I don’t remember much about this dream. From what I can remember, I was in this unknown outdoor area and my friend JO was sitting on this bench in the room next door. All my other friends were in the room with me and so I got them, one by one, to go and introduce themselves to JO. Apparently LA had already had her turn, so now it was JH. Then after that, WB (who I am sadly not friends with in real life) was also with us and so I sent her over. The dream actually showed WB shaking hands with JO and introducing herself. That’s all I can remember for this dream.

Dream 446 B - I Want My Twenty Dollars
I don’t remember what happened at the start of the dream. From where I do remember, it was high school but the appearance of the grounds was a mixture of my primary school and high school. Ms Le. was somewhere in the school yard and I was talking to her. Today was Wednesday and she mentioned about us going on the excursion tomorrow, being Thursday. She was going to lend me some money for something tomorrow but she wanted me to pay the twenty dollars to her today. I tried questioning her, saying it would be more sensible for me to pay tomorrow but she still had her mind set on getting paid today.

In the next scene, I was in my house after school and I was talking to my mum, asking if she could give me a twenty dollar note. She was unsure at first and so I really started panicking, stating that Ms Le. would actually kill me if I didn’t give her the money by the end of tonight. I don’t remember if I ended up getting the money or not. The next scene was actually in an art class with Ms Le. but the day and exact time wasn’t specified… This scene is blurry.

Then for the last scene, I was at the park across the road from my old house. I was sitting on the play equipment with my grade four teacher who had a distorted appearance compared to how she looked in real life. In the dream, she looked more youthful but then this also gave her a creepy. She was commenting to me about my reading and about how she would like me to read more fairy-tales in order to improve the quality of my reading. That’s all I can remember for this dream.

Dream 446 C - Beanies Don't Come Cheap
I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was at my other grandparents’ house with all my family members and a few other people as well. There was this really tiny baby girl that was crying really loudly in the sitting. I ended up scooping her into my arms and taking her into one of the bedrooms at the back of the house to try and calm her down. As I sat her down on the bed and started cuddling her, I could see my mum just outside in the hallway, telling the other person with her to be very quiet as they secretly watched me in admiration.

Eventually, the baby girl became quiet and they every other person congregated into the bedroom and sat all on the same bed. Then this stranger woman and man came in, carrying some sort of small machine. There was this thread that the lady would put through the machine and when she turned it, it would turn into a beanie. I asked if I could have a go at using the machine with some thread but she and the man said no.

Beanies were being made for everyone else but when I asked if I could have a beanie, they also said no. The lady then explained that I had to register for something on a website and then pay to have a beanie made. I thought that this preposition was ridiculous and everyone else was getting beanies for free, or so I thought. The dream ended there.

Dream 446 D - What Could Possibly Go Wrong
The dream started with me in the suburb next to mine but I have forgotten the exact location. There were two buses that were going each to a different campus of Monash University. The first campus, the dream claimed, was on Blackburn Road and the other campus was somewhere in Glen Iris, the Glen Iris campus does not exist in real life.

Weirdly, the driver of both buses were 18-Volt! Yes, there were two of him in this part of the dream, looking exactly the same as each other, sporting the WarioWare Gold appearance. I also a had a clone in this section of the dream, both of us in our school summer dress. I am going to call the alternate 18-Volt “Carbon 18-Volt” to make this recap easier to understand, and my clone will be called “Carbon Karla”.

Although I looked the same as Carbon Karla, the dream stated that we behaved differently; this was also the case for 18-Volt and Carbon 18-Volt. Carbon 18-Volt was driving the bus to the Blackburn Road campus and there was a special area in the front for Carbon Karla to sit next to him, the rest of the university students were all in the back where passengers would usually be. Carbon Karla’s personality was more like a cute kitten and Carbon 18-Volt was very affectionate and gentle. The dream showed Carbon Karla sleeping, curled up on top of some box after Carbon 18-Volt had turned his head from the wheel to gently hush her and gave her a small pat on her side that was facing up. To sum that up, Carbon 18-Volt had earlier lulled her to sleep while he was driving.

Meanwhile, my personality was that of my waking life self. I was still interested in my surroundings but was more chilled and nonchalant about what happened to me. When it came to 18-Volt, he just drove and didn’t really pay too much attention to me if I didn’t say anything to him. Like in the other bus though, the arrangement was exactly the same in that there was a special area for me to be next to 18-Volt while the rest of the students were in the normal back passenger area.

I was rather looking out the window at all the scenery on the way to Glen Iris while eating this mixed icy-pole and ice-cream all in one! The outside part was icy-pole which was a combination of Watermelon and Pineapple, kind of like a Frosty Fruits. The inside was cookies and cream ice-cream with there being a huge chunk of only biscuit in the centre area. I was making exaggerated movements with my mouth to convince myself that the combination of Frosty Fruits icy-pole and cookies and cream ice-cream tasted good. My mind figured that 18-Volt had given this to me earlier to serve as a distraction so I would let him drive rather than chewing his ear off with my talking.

The dream then skipped to me wandering around by myself in the campus. I noticed that some areas had lift doors blended into the walls; they were almost the same colour as each other. As I would in waking life, I slightly shook if I walked past a door. Then the intention kicked in, still non-lucid though, to look for 18-Volt. The fact that he was a bus driver in the previous scene had completely left my mind and so I thought he was new to find.

There was a small segment of possible scenarios taking place in an elevator. First, it was a third person perspective of me being held by 18-Volt and my mind was saying “No! It has to be in first-person!”. Then after that, there was only 18-Volt in the elevator and I was nowhere to be scene; my mind said “No! I have to be there!”. The dream was playing snippets of all the possible inconveniences. There were other inconveniences that played out in that scene but I have forgotten what they were.

The dream then played as if I was entering the campus for the first time, forgetting that I had been in there before. The camera was behind me, of the same fashion as if you were playing a video game and you could see the character from behind, and so I could see that this time, I was wearing my school winter uniform. My hair was also a bit more orange than usual; I liked this accent of the henna dye.

So I was running, or let’s say walking through the corridors at a very fast pace while calling for 18-Volt. Eventually though, I came into the entrance of this massive ladies’ change-room so large it’s even bigger than the ones at the local pools in real life. While I was in there, the dream then went to playing in first-person mode again. Every single girl was wearing some black or really dark navy blue outfit and were standing on the benches to change.

I frantically, quickly marched though every nook and cranny of the change room, shouting and asking the girls, “Does anyone know where 18-Volt is, has anyone seen him around?”. The girls said no but then some of them were also giving me strange looks, probably wondering why I would think 18-Volt was in the ladies’ change-room. To me, I just thought he could be anywhere.

Eventually, I came across one area of the change-room where there weren’t any benches and rather there was just a lonely table in the middle of the room. It was a weird sight as on that table, I thought it was 18-Volt but he was in a form of… A ladies’ ballet flat? As soon as I even thought about commanding the shoe to turn into a human, I started to feel that familiar tingling, lifting sensation and this time, I knew what it was… The dream was trying to initiate a wake up on me. I decided to stop and instead, I took one of my socks and school shoes off, and slipped the ballet flat onto my foot, then finally making my way out of the crazy change room.

Back in the corridors, 18-Volt had actually successfully appeared in his human form, once again, based on WarioWare Gold. I walked up to him but just as he was getting ready to bend down and scoop me up into his arms for a hold, the dream forces me awake.
