non-lucid

"everybody strap in, were about to open some fucking windows."
To quote the great Samuel L. Jackson.

I almost lost my dream recall today but it slowly came flowing back to me. This dream is a little odd (like all dreams) and unfortunately I almost became lucid but it didn't work out to well. There are probably a lot of memories that fell through the cracks but I have pretty much the most of it.

Fragment 1:
My dream starts off with me reliving a false memory. I'm in a hotel (this hotel is a dream space I've been in before) and there is a tower of Smirnoff bottles on a table inside of a dining area. Smirnoff is my favorite drink, so I'm tempted to take a bottle. I take one while no one is looking. I decide to go to the corner of the room to drink it. After a while I drift into the main part of the room to see what happens. No one seems to care, so I finish the rest of the drink in clear view.

Fragment 2:
I'm in my apartment (dream sign). A broadcast is playing in my living room. The broadcast has something to do with minds and mind control, but I don't know how exactly. I sense that the broadcast in the living room is incomplete, and that I'd find a more detailed broadcast in my room. I go in my room and turn on the tv. The Asian guy from the dharma initiative from LOST is on it, except he looks much younger, like 18 or so. He is also talking about mind control, but also about dreams. The gist of what he said, had something to do with invading people's dreams and controlling their minds. What he's talking about is something of a cross between the dharma initiative from lost and Inception. In the video he's on a beach, and another man accompanies him by his side, who from time to time he'll mock for being insignificant in comparison to him. Soon after the broadcast ends.

Fragment 3:
I'm still in my apartment in this dream, but the plot is way different. There's a "bad guy" whose coming to my apartment to hurt me or something, and I'm trying to prepare myself for the inevitable. My dad and grandma are very protective of me. Dream topography's very weird here. It's as if my apartment (although it is on the fourth floor in waking life) is underground, and my balcony is some sort of entrance to a secret passage way, which leads to some sort of medieval dungeon. For some reason we all know he's going to come through that way. The passage/dungeon is lit by some sort of electrical torch system (for some reason the torches remind me of minecraft). My dad is about to turn off the torches so the "bad guy" won't be able to see his way. But I plead him no because apparently I know this "bad guy" and he's my friend, and he's really only mad at me or something. The "bad guy" draws closer. I go into my room and prepare to barricade my door, but when I prepare to push my couch against the door, I notice that my room's a wreck, and that there are turned over drawers and crayons everywhere.

"I'm done." I think to myself.

Fragment 4:
Miranda Cosgrove (google it) and I think Jennette McCurdy (also google) are auditioning for a Sorority. There in what appears to be theater. (for some reason Miranda and Jennette are in the seating area and the sorority girls are sitting at a table on the stage.) The sisters interviewing them ask them if there "fun", or "crazy", or "adventuress" or something like that. Miranda replies "I once kissed a six year old." (okay?) Jennette replies "Have you ever heard of murder? Yeah." (I think she's implying that she killed someone?). The sisters aren't buying it. The two need to do a test. Steal a saxophone from this guy while he's sleeping. Easy enough.

Suddenly I go into a first person view (I'm not sure if I'm in my body or Miranda's, but I'm pretty sure I'm in mine). I'm with someone else (It's dark so I don't know if it's Jennette or not, but for some reason I don't think it is). We both infiltrate the room. There are two people inside, sleeping. We sneak up to him and prepare to take the saxophone. His roommate wakes up. His roommate is Phillip j. Fry from futurama. We both freeze. He doesn't notice us.

"I don't like japanese people poking around in my mind." He says as he gets out of bed.

(this is a reference to the previous dream fragment, apparently this person in the broadcast had tried invading Fry's dreams to control his mind)

He leaves the room and we get back to business. I reach for the saxophone. He moves (Something in my head tells me at level 2 consciousness, whatever that means). I take the saxophone.

Fragment 5:
There's someone who I need to capture. A very bad man (I believed he killed a puppy or something. There's only one thing I know about him for sure: He's wanted for $200 dead and $1000 alive. This next part takes place in the fallout 3 engine (technically it's fallout new vegas). I'm looking through a first person view (although I am not controlling the body). The song Montage from team america world police is playing in the background. This guy takes various weapons and shoots them at a target. These weapons include the M-16 and the All-American from fallout new vegas. When the "always fade out in a montage" part of the song starts playing, my vision slowly fades out. The last thing this man does is take up a weapon repair kit from the table he was firing on. He then takes off (I believe this man was me).

Fragment 6:
My vision fades back in. I'm on the subway, on my way to capture the bounty. I think to myself, "Aw yeah, 1000 bones." Then I started thinking about why some people call money "bones". Suddenly, a woman with a bag in her hands sits down fairly close to me. She seems to be in a panic, she's frantically shaking, as if she just stole the bag from someone, but I didn't see her take it from anyone.

"Okay, I got the snakes." She says in a shaky voice.

She reaches into the bag and brings out a red snake and throws it on the train floor. I start to mildly freak out, so I move as far away from her as possible and decide to get off at the next stop. Suddenly things seem a little odd to me. I reach up to my nose and prepare for a reality check, and I wake up. It seemed that I had control of my outside body instead of my dream one.

"Damn, what time is it like 11:30?" I say to myself.

I look at the clock.

I wake up at around 4:35 a.m., 3rd of February 2011.

C'mon, really? Again? Whatever. (I did have a glass of juice before I went to sleep so that may have been the reason).

Well this was a rather long and fragmented dream. But hey, at least I was able to use a snakes on a plane reference (btw, there really is a movie called snakes on a train, it sucked).

I wasn't as hellbent on having a lucid dream yesterday since it was a snow day and I just kind of relaxed, hopefully I have better luck next time, I still want to practice dream control

Sweet dreams everyone

I am standing at an unfamiliar staircase in what is supposed to be my house.
I am with my family and a guy I do not know comes up with a gun. I pull out a
gun as well and essentially start having a shootout with him. We start out in the
hall way then he runs down the steps. I follow and we are in some sort of
basement. I see him and start shooting, I am using an airsoft gun and so is he.
I chase him around the basement for a while and my clip runs out. I don't really
reload it or anything I just cock back the slide and it seems to have a full mag.
Every now and then a lever pops out of the gun, like a lever action pump, and I
have to fiddle around with the gun for a few seconds to get it back in working order.
Eventually, I somehow manage to get the other guy's gun and I chase him out. I
then start after my brother for some reason and we start fighting. We go around the
basement for a while and I then come to the corner I was at before and notice I only
have one gun. I think, "Where did I put that?". I look for it briefly but then abandon
my search and go after my brother again. After a while I see him and apparently he
had found my other gun. We exchange fire for a while then the dream ends

Note: I have been running really short on time lately, and I end up not journaling everything, so I have gone to a shorter format so I can get everything I would like to journal recorded and still have time for other things.

The Dark Wizard
I am in a cavern with a group of people like might be found in a Dungeons and Dragons game. We are in a cavern that is blocked off by creatures, they are too strong for us to escape. They have a dwarf wizard chained up with magic, he is laughing at them for their inability to escape. They got in and captured him, now they will all die. Everyone is arguing on what to do. They ask who the fuck am I? I figure I could get them out of there, but I have a better idea… I can heal the dwarf wizard. He has a spark, so I use the song Touch My Heart to restore the flame in his heart. He is still bound by magic, his powers are being suppressed. I tell the others they can set him free now. He is no longer laughing at the situation, now he says he will help them escape. No one there wants to trust him now, apparently they don't believe I was able to heal his heart. Since they won't listen, I figure I will just have to allow the wizard the chance to prove himself. I look closer at him and see he uses dark energy, but it is stable now, and I just need to set him free of his bonds. "Through the darkness of hell and the blackest of hates, he who makes fear awaits you. After many lifetimes sealed away, the power remains for all to see, now it's un bound, now I set it free." There is a cyclone of dark energy surrounding the dwarf that pulls huge amounts of dark energy into him and allows him to break free of the bonds. Now he is not only free, he is more powerful than ever before… but still stable. He is angry at the creatures outside because he says they corrupted him in the first place, so he will help the people fight them off. Everyone there is terrified of him, but he proves them wrong as he uses his power to clear a path out of the dungeons, eliminating all of the creatures that dare stand in their path. Most of the creatures start running away before the force of his power. Once outside, the wizard says he is willing to let the past go, he won't bother the people unless they bother him first… so just leave him alone. They seem more than willing to comply with that.



Animal Sanctuary
I am in someone else's house, I am visiting there with my mother, and we are surrounded by all sorts of animals. I love the situation, and I am trying to get close to all of the animals and pet them or at least take photos of them with my iPod Touch. There are sooooo many kitties, I want to pet all of them, and most of them are willing to let me. There are also many dogs and some rarer animals that include big wild cats, a bear, an elephant in one of the larger rooms… some of the rooms are HUGE. I am in a room with many trees growing indoors, and there are birds and squirrels that are extremely friendly, even a raven comes from the trees and lands on my shoulder, being very careful not to hurt me with the talons on its feet. The raven has very soft feathers. My mom wants to go, we are on our way out and I see many animals I don't recognize, I try to linger back and take photos, my mom rushes me out to the car. We are driving home when I realize something is moving in my shirt and I find it is a pair of squirrel hitchhikers. There is also a canary on my head that seems to have found my hair to be a good place to roost.


Energy for Asuka
I am inside MoSh's inner world, and he is there with me. He seems glad to see me there, he says he wants to be sure Asuka is ok, he hasn't seen her around much in his dreams. I ask him where she is, he says if he knew that he wouldn't be so worried about her. I go into the house and try to scan around for Asuka, she isn't in the house, so I go to the door to Hogwarts. I scan Hogwarts as best as I can do quickly, no sign of her there, so I go to the door to the home of the monks that are training her. She is there! MoSh and I go through the doorway into their temple and look around, I am able to track Asuka's signal to find she is near a tranquil pool of water. The pool of water is surrounded by beautiful flowers, and Asuka is floating over the pool, meditating. MoSh asks if she is ok, but she doesn't respond, she is clearly too deep in meditation. MoSh asks one of the monks if she is ok, the monk says she is fine, she is just meditating, she should be out of it soon. MoSh asks if she is ok, the monk says aside from being a bit drained of energy, she is doing fine. Soon she comes out of her meditation and floats over to the shore and lands there. She wakes up, smiles at MoSh, and then hugs him. She looks a bit depressed, maybe just low on energy. Just to be sure there is nothing wrong inside her, I use the song Touch My Heart to give her some extra energy and purge any remaining unstable energy from her. She looks at MoSh, then at me, and she seems to be a bit more lively now. She says thank you, that energy really feels good, she has been quite tired lately. MoSh asks the monk how Asuka's training is going, the monk says it would be going much better if she had more confidence in her abilities to keep control of her own power. That fear must be dealt with first, and this requires much meditation and practice, which is what they are working on now.


Raiders of the Lost Arc (TotY)
I have said I would take MoSh into Avalon so we could go take care of something that needs to be taken care of, he says he is interested in doing that. So that is the next stop for the night. I take MoSh through a portal, focusing on letting Avalon guide us, but instead of taking us directly to a place we need to go, it takes us to the island of Avalon. MoSh looks around the island and says he thinks Asuka would really like it there, we should bring her sometime. I remember Tigress also says she wants to come, so I tell MoSh to wait for a bit and I open a portal to the moon, to the spot by the koi pond. She is not there, so I figure that means she is off in another dream and might be doing something she does not want to be disturbed from. There will be time for her in Avalon later. I close the portal, then MoSh and I get on a wooden boat and float down a river into a thick grove of trees where everything goes dark… and we find we are standing in a desert. There is a lot of commotion going on not far from our location, so MoSh and I go to check it out. There are many Nazis surrounding an object which could only be the Arc of the Covenant… there are two people tied up to a poll, one of them appears to be Indiana Jones, the other is a woman. One of the Nazis is about to open the arc, but I remember the Task of the Year where the goal is to open the arc and see what is in there. I have to open it, not him. MoSh and I easily kill off all of the Nazis, I use shape shifting to form my arm into Alex Mercer's arm blade and slice through them all. MoSh uses a pair of katana and some cool looking martial arts moves. Indiana and the woman are staring at us in awe, MoSh sets them free. They say we should get the arc to safety, I say no, we're going to open it. They both protest, but they certainly can't stop us… MoSh and I go over to the arc and open up the lid, Indiana and the woman run for cover. There is a glowing light in the arc that is like looking into infinity, there are surges of energy down inside it and flashes of light… then there is an eruption. The energy explodes out of the arc and permeates everything in the area, flowing through both MoSh and me as well. What a surge of energy! It doesn't hurt at all, it feels good. Once the energy passes through us, a spirit forms in front of us. I can't tell if it is male or female or even human, and it speaks to us (or at least I hear it) telepathically. It says we have pure hearts and have thus survived the test. It thanks us for releasing it, then it fades to nothing. The arc is now completely empty… nothing more than an ornate artifact from a time long past.

Dream Lucid Partially lucid

Feb. 3, '11:
1) There was a hamster that kept attacking a pocket watch that I had. The hamster would growl and bite at it. It got more crazy and I couldn't get it away from the watch long enough to hide it.
Then the hamster stopped moving. There was something wrong with its brain. I didn't know what to do.

2) I was a scientist. Three young boys sneaked into my time machine. It was shaped kind of like a giant laptop, and the whole thing was inflatable. The boys threw a ball into an empty space in the underside of the machine.
It was floating on water. It started to deflate and an alarm went off. I ended up in the water, which had turned green.

3) I had a very short lucid moment. I was flying when i realized I was dreaming. I looked at my hands and landed on a roof. That's all I remember.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was a prisoner in a dark circular stone room in a magical tower. In the centre there was some sort of glowing blue energy that allowed people to teleport to the entrance of the tower, but it wouldn't work for me. I don't remember the next part very well but I think I escaped with the help of some girl.

My cousin A was surfing on the beach.

I saw my cousin S on a news report. At first I didn't realise it was him and thought it was his brother A. He was really good and won the world championship (I saw this on the TV).

I was at the beath with my family and we met S, a friend of his and some other guy. I was very thirsty.

The dream shifted again and I was in a buss. M and T were behind me and wouldn't leave me alone. I think they were pinching me.

This is just a small chunk of my dream- it was in the middle, and I can't remember the beginning or end. I was with this group of random DC's, none of which I actually knew, and we were on the run from something dangerous. We were in this jungle/desert hybrid (which doesn't sound like it would work, but it did) and there was a downhill chute that worked like a water slide. None of us wanted to go down it- I guess it was dangerous- but one girl in the group coerced us into it. She made us all lie down on the ground, and covered our eyes with marshmallows and our mouths with bandaids. It was supposed to be helpful. Then she sent us all down the chute, but she stayed behind, and everyone was mad at her for chickening out.

When we arrived at the bottom of the chute, it was flat desert with wooded mesas rising out in random patterns. At this point, I was viewing the dream from a bird's eye perspective. We ran along the edge of a mesa, because there was something dangerous down here and we had to escape. Then a Tyrannosaurus Rex stomped around the edge, and I sent my group onwards to sacrifice myself fighting the dino as they ran away. I woke up before I could.

Then, just little fragments-- a pool in my old middle school, going there at night, something about the stage.

Small piece came back to me. I recall the dream being really long and this was near the end, but I can't really recall the rest of the dream. All I recall is that it was me with some friend (not a real-life friend) who both had been enslaved by this evil guy. We were in a large, sort of room, it was shaped like a lima bean with walls a good 20 feet high, however no ceiling. It was nighttime and you could see the stars through the roof. We weren't the only slaves there, the room was packed with other people enslaved. In these dream the world supposedly had magic that was quite common for people to use, but we were enslaved because the guy found some way to remove our magical abilities. Anyway, don't remember exactly what happened, but some elite force of mages (don't remember what the group was called, but there was 7 or so people in the group) showed up and managed to free us.

It is quite foggy, don't remember it real well, and as said this was near the end.

I am sitting in a waiting room, waiting for my turn. I am in clinic that makes you dream. I am walked to a Trailor outside. I lay myself upside down on the Trailor ramp and a metal grate is placed over my chest.

As I am trying to concentrate, three people are talking. They talk to me and distract me. I see a purple light on the Trailor come on indicating my time is up.I cOllect my clothes and shoes and walk inside.

The technician at the front desk asked how it went. I reply "nothing, I got nothing from it!", I explain " there were people distracting me.". He offers me a re-do at a later date, but I am not interested as I feel its a hoax. The tech notices my disappointment and has an idea.

He takes me to a booth outside by the trailor. (I note that, like the same grate around my chest while on the Trailor, there were a row of them standing and the one in front said algebra 7). The lab tech says they can check the brain waves and see the readings. He confirms there was dreams but Still believes me. So he tries his own experiment.

He lights insence and smells it. He concentrates on it and abruptly falls to his knees. I hear the painful clunck. He stands up again but is still in the trance. Last thing, I remember thinking 'what a load of crap.'

Fragment

I am looking at a blob of purple paint on a canvas, I can see that it is WakingNomad.

somewhat vivid dream, I just suck with describing things so I won't bother.

I am in a museum, trying to find the exit. I find my way into a Korean submarine, I ride it to a house I believe is mine. we surface, and I thank the Korean woman piloting the sub. I go into the house and hang out for a bit, when the doorbell rings. It is a woman with long, straight red hair. I get a bad feeling about her, but for some reason I let her in the house. She hands a piece of paper to me, telling me I need to sign for the damages, or it will be my fault. there is some other writing on the paper, i don't pay a lot of attention, but write some random stuff down, and cross some of it out. I put down the pen.

---Non-dream---Dream---Lucid---

The dream began with me outside of a shop plaza with a classmate of mine. I was trying to get her into a restaurant in the corner of the plaza, where I planned on using the fifty cents I had in my pocket to buy ice cream. However, she was stumbling around and groaning, because she was drunk. I grabbed her right wrist and began leading her toward the restaurant. Eventually she stopped struggling and I let her go. She then reached down and grabbed a twig from the ground, which she threw at one of the people in the plaza. I immediately yelled at her, grabbed her wrist again, and murmured "Sorry," under my breath. After pulling on her a little more, I asked her if she had any money with her to buy something. She said, "No." I told her that I had fifty cents that I was going to buy ice cream with.

At this point, either I had a lapse in memory (when recalling the dream), or the dream warped me.

I then was in the parking lot outside the plaza, and my classmate had disappeared. Even though she wasn't there, for some reason I now thought of her as my aunt (but my aunt looks nothing like her). My father pulled up next to me in a minivan and called for me. While the car was still in motion, I jumped in through the open passenger door. The car did a U-turn so that I was facing the curb. We drove past a woman, and she waved to me (apparently my father was trying to show her that he found me). What's really ironic is: I think she was my aunt.

Dream Lucid Me DC

Fragment 1
I was on some ice planet. There were two men following me. (Not chasing.) I think I had some kind of glove that gave me some powers, but i´m not sure.

Fragment 2
I was flying in space with an 1-person spaceship. I battled some hostile ships. After that, I started to chase an UFO, but it shot some asteroids at me. But instead of killing me, the asteroids formed an new planet. I saw some options, but I couldn´t use any of them. I leaved and started a new fight with the hostile ships, this time with a few friendly ships.

Fragment 1 - Scrooge

I'm working for a very grouchy old man, rather like Scrooge I guess you could say, in some sort of office. He has two female assistants, one of them thinks she's completely indispensable to him. I happen to know that he could care less about the work she does. I don't know much about the other assistant, she seems to keep to herself.
I am busy and stressed, trying to get the important copying and paperwork done.

Flooding Farmland and the Cooking Contest

I was on what I knew to be our farm land, although it looked more like a beautiful park, with a lake that covered 2 sides of it. We, my family and I, were sitting eating a picnic lunch at the water's edge. I remember asking my Mother what she thought of the "farm" land and what she thought I should farm. I don't remember her response.

Upon turning to watching the water and daydream, I noticed it was actually rising fairly fast. I warned my family and we all had to scramble to pack up the picnic.

Flash forward to some sort of strange televised cooking contest that has now become visible further down my land. I realize I am involved in the contest and I become angry with my husband that he didn't order me the bright orange shirt and baseball cap that the others are wearing in the contest. It seems I need these items to compete. After searching around a bit, I find a hat in a pile of random stuffs near some random guys whom are loitering there. They look at me suspiciously. I snatch it up and head to my station. I try to begin cooking at my station and then realize that I have no food items to cook with! I guess I have a house on the farm land, because I run to it to see what I can scrounge together. I manage to find some frozen schnitzels that I can fry, and some broccoli and potato flakes which can be made into mashed potatoes.

Flash forward to the result - a judge telling me that it was just average and not at all inspiring. I don't really care - I am just very relieved it's over.

Welcome to my dreamworld's home! I am very happy to see you. (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I want to say, I have been recording several longs dreams, but I have never had time to record them properly (still on paper) I have been lately very busy, as usual.
Most of my recent dreams, are a lot related with Psychic stuff. The demanding for Tarot Reading has spiked and I have been doing a lot of readings to different people. Being channeling so many time (in order to generate a proper and accurate reading) plus my focus on Astral Travel, meditation, teaching the classes for MILD and getting started to offer guided meditation classes (not online and not free) has my focus in the subject.

I was teaching a class of MILD to my students on a big class. The desks were green and had a small drawer for workbooks and stuff. After teaching the class, I went to another class, but this time, it was some sort of psychic class. I was not the professor now, but a student.
I somehow realized I was dreaming, but the quality of the dream was not good. However, as time passed, quality increased. Suddenly, I realized that Dreamer was missing. My dream quality spiked. Someone said he could try to find Dreamer and find out the reason she is missing class. I said, "No, I will do it. I am very energy sensitive and I am pretty attached to Dreamer I will take care of it.

I started to meditate, I wanted to follow the plot of the dream. I recalled I had some non lucid dreams with Dreamer and I wanted to start working on dream sharing. I focused on her and suddenly a metallic chain appeared. This chain would lead me to Dreamer.

The dream scenery changed. I was traveling at a very high speed. All my surroundings were gray and all I could see, was a huge chain under me. After a few seconds, I got to a different place. This new place it appeared to be like a big home, however, it was not a regular house, it was like a cave, but with proper lighting, very clean and proper furniture.

The entire place was all blueish. Most of the furniture was blue, the light was blue. I saw a small bookshelf with several energy stones. All the stones were lapis lazulis and blue tiger's eyes. I also found some hematites, but these were blue as well instead of black/metallic. I think I saw a few stuffed animals, blue and blue cyan. Suddenly, my heart pounded and I felt a presence. I heard a very sweet voice (a voice I imagine talking with Dreamer) I turned back and she was smiling at me.

Dreamer welcomed me and said, "Welcome to my dream plane. I am very very happy of seeing you here!" Come with me! Dreamer started to walk and toured me around the dream plane that was created. She told me that blue was the best color out there. Among all blue, I saw a large Onyx stone (actually, pretty large, about a feet long, but it was not heavy) The stone had some letters on it, but I did not want wake up trying to read them out. Dreamer told me, "I know you are afraid from bees. Keep this stone. You helped me already to fight my doctor's dream, now is time I help you back. The stone is yours."

I was very happy about that. I also saw some additional stones: quartz, lapis lazulis, opals, tiger's eye, jets, moonstones... a lot. There was a bigger stone that had several random stones attacked to it. For some reason, I decided to smell it. It smelled like freshly cut grass... like a rain forest... it smelled very good.

Dreamer invited me to enjoy a flight. We flew over the dream plane I felt very happy, but the dream ended as it was time to wake up.

Awake, Non-lucid, [Commentary made while awake]

I'm on a strange version of the Jungle Cruise ride at Disneyland. Instead of one continuous waterway that meanders across solid ground like a real river, it consists of a series of interconnected, rectangular pools that are separated from each other by waterfalls. They're all still surrounded by jungle foliage, though, and they all have some kind of animatronic animal in or around them. One of them has an animatronic person swimming in the middle. It's nighttime.

I'm navigating these waterways all alone, in a single-person canoe. As I paddle my canoe along, I think, I hate going through this ride by myself. There's no one to do the spiel for me. I try to do it myself, but I'm not as good at it as the regular skippers are. I go over at least one waterfall in my canoe. There's no impact when my canoe hits the water; it just calmly transitions from one pool to the next.

I reach a particularly tall waterfall, with a bunch of gray rocks between the pool I'm in and the one below it. I'm tired of putting in the effort it takes to paddle, so I give up trying to canoe my way through the ride and just climb down the rocks. When I reach the lower pool, I decide to go swimming in it.

When I get into the pool, I start treading water. I move very quickly across the large, rectangular pool by this means, keeping my head completely out of the water the entire time, and feeling very proud of the fact that I've mastered the skill of treading water. [Which I haven't done in real life, by the way; I can sort of do it, but I'm not any good at it at all.] Being in the water feels really, really nice.

[Recall is a little hazy here. I think I remember the following two things:] Two or more people pour more water into the pool I'm in, making it colder. I get into and out of the water at least once. [I definitely remember everything from here on out:] I'm now in a smaller, but still rectangular pool, right next to the bigger one I initially got into. The shorter ends of the two rectangles are right next to each other. I look around in this smaller pool for a way to climb out. At first, I'm disappointed because I don't see one, but then I see it. There are some metal steps leading out of the pool, attached to the interior wall near the far corner. There are two girls I don't know in the water near the steps. I also see the B. brothers crouched down near the other short end of the pool, looking at me. [They're acquaintances from real life; I've mentioned them in my dream journal before in this entry. They're the two brothers who sang with the Parrish girls.] I'm naked, so when I see them, I imagine a bikini, and it appears on my body. [Despite this, at no point did I ever become lucid.] Then I climb out of the pool.

[Different dream.] I'm at home [or possibly in a hotel room; it didn't look like any of our houses], lounging around on a bed, doing something on my laptop. My parents want to go out somewhere, but I'm not ready. My dad jokes, "This battery-powered computer is called a 'wait-for-me device!'" I laugh a little, then stop what I'm doing, get up, and go to finish getting dressed so that we can go. Then my alarm went off and I got up.

Most Frightening:
This only lasted a few seconds but I saw a face, ugly and rotted. a twisted beast of anger, hatred, and possibly pure evil.

Second most frightening:
It is my birthday everyone is at my house. We are laughing and having fun. Then terrorists appear and start shooting. They bring a body bag onto the yard, I know their boss is inside. A rotted corpse in an EMS uniform rips out of the bag and threatens me and my family. I am powerless to stop him.

Comments welcome.
