Synopsis: I'm roleplaying as a male dragon. Bad guys have locked up my friends! But the same bad guys are treating me as a king. Are they trying to pit my friends against me?

Night Time Note: I'm excited about seeing Inception the next day. So I fall asleep really wanting a fun dream. I also try to keep my thoughts as light and airy as possible as I fall asleep.

Faithful Friends of a Dragon
Bad guys are after us, I transform into dragon - though I probably looked more like a gargoyle. I try to fly away (I'm not the violent type, what can I say? ) But my friends can't fly at all!

Instead we find some pillars. We climb on top the pillars and to our happy surprise the bad guys are dumb. One, they don't know how to climb the pillars, two, even though they could still attack us with their spears they don't! So I dangle my clawed toes over their head mockingly.

But then my dream completely morphs around me. I'm a much larger dragon now. My friends are locked in a prison that faces my pillar. And everyone is referring to me as a guy. The bad guys treat me as some sort of god, but really I'm just as much their prisoner as my friends.

They try to please me by bringing me an innocent women and forcing her to become my wife. She bows down before me with fear, arms and legs bounded. She asks with a meek voice how she can please me, but I want nothing from her. I don't dismiss her though because I'm worried if I do the bad guys will abuse her. So I keep her near me and try to treat her as a friend.

I don't know if these people are just confused with reptilian bodies, because I don't remember turning into a guy or wanting a woman

They keep trying to please me with gifts, food, or whatever. All the while my friends get nothing. With their prisons facing me, watching me get the royal treatment. They're trying to make my friends envy me! Pit them against me!

I don't do what the bad guys ask of me. Instead I stubbornly perch myself on the pillar and do nothing. Frustrated with me, the bad guys leave me alone for some fresh air. Now was the right time for our escape!

My 'wife' quickly unlocks my friends from their prison. And to my happy surprise no one is angry at me. Instead they help my dragon butt escape out of the castle. I'm back down to a regular gargoyle size, and I feel myself again. The fastest way out is to fly. I carry my 'wife' and tell the rest of my friends that I'll be back for them.

We fly away without any of the guards noticing us. Now I just need to find some place to hide my 'wife'. I find a hobbit sized hole in the valley. When I place her down I apologize and hope she doesn't hate me. I also tell her that technically were not married anyways since neither one of us said 'yes' . Now that my 'wife' is just my friend I fly back to the castle.

But the rest of my friends were way ahead of me and meet me half away! Bad guys chasing them down the valley!

We've captured the king of the bad guys. He was represented by a mechanical toy. I rip him apart! And spread and bury his pieces all throughout this medieval land, making it near impossible to put him back together again.

His devoted minions find me and attack me. They too were mechanical, but android sized monsters. I rip them apart easily! But their magnetized spine would 'gather' the other pieces to reconstruct themselves. I rip their metal spine into even smaller pieces, scatter them miles away, and bury them deep.

Satisfied that the mechanical bad guys could never reconstruct themselves, I wake up!

-I've gotten a notebook dream journal and have kept up with my dreams, but I really don't feel like posting all of them, so the latest one....-


Friends, Flying, Highway
I was getting in a little kids toy jeep thing and driving it down the shoulder of oncoming traffic on a highway, at night. All I could see were the headlights of the vehicles. I was going really fast in the kids toy jeep and I started to drive out of control. I got scared and jumped out of it, and my friend V and another girl was there, we had just came from some kind of talent show? I start running down the highway, still towards the oncoming vehicles, and then I ran across the road to the grass that was in the middle of the two roads. There was a white car driving in the grass ahead of me, and I started to run faster. Then I leaped up, and the view was looked like what you would see if you were in an airplane, (I imagine.) I see land, water, and roads.

Then I remember trying to figure out where I was, I had asked someone "What's on top of New York?" (lol)

Dust Magnet:
My computer screen had a lot of dust build up. I wondered why that was the case and started scratching them off one by one and there was a ton to scratch off.

Random Kids:
I was in some neighbourhood with my family(mom and brother). We just stepped out of the car when two kids approached us. It seems that my mom knew them and they greeted us with "Salam" then some random stuff I can't remember. I was feeling totally confused and was about to talk, paused and then said "I'm totally lost, do I know you?"

Thoughts: Nice to have recalled two dreams even though they were pretty small. Recall occurred during the day though. I might be able to recall better now as I am making progress in my meditation. Hoping for a lucid i the next couple of days

Messed up Beak:
I was looking at my yellow canary who was sitting in his cage. I noticed that his peak was like rulers as in two small straight pieces. I was thinking "I couldn't wait until his peak was normal again" because it looked really odd.

Thoughts: Such an obvious sign and I missed it, lol. On the bright side, I can still recall very small parts of my dreams. Most be due to my recent act of taking up meditation

Mission:
I infiltrated some base with my sister. We had some shortcomings and fixed them. We also had a list of things to accomplish.

Thoughts: Unfortunately, I couldn't recall any more details of the base, the shortcomings and the things that we had to do

i was going through my mom's cellphone. there were things about her personal life and random things. like using Nair on her legs and underarms.

Running for the bus (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in my basic school and I went away from there. I went to do something that I forgot what it was. I suddenly realized I only had 10 minutes left to get to my bus. I started running. I noticed that a friend i knew IRl was running behind me, i kept running and then my friend went to his house. I stopped for a moment and I saw him walking through his garden to his door. There was something weird in the middle of his garden. I started running for my bus again. Then I noticed my cousin was running behind me. I yelled at him. Then suddenly he was running in front of me. He ran up some stairs into an open place where a party was going on. I followed him. I knew Only 2 minutes had passed, and I still had enough time left. I ran through the people, and as i entered the place, I could clearly hear the song "seize the moment" play. I ran into someone, he looked angry at me, I kept running.

In this dream I had a nice idea of time, and it felt like 2 minutes took forever. Also the distance I ran didn't seem much and the song that was playing was really vivid. The onject in the garden could have been a dispenser from team fortress 2, i played that game the day before.

DC's: friend, cousin

Monkey society (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in a big jungle and i tried to make an agreement with the monkeys. First of all, there were 2 kinds of monkeys, huge ones from about 2 meters high, and small ones, maybe half a meter high. I wanted to make sure all the small monkeys were good, so I asked the big monkeys for all small monkeyys to be nice and good. first there was doubt, butafter a while it was ok. all the small monkeys were good now. A while later I was somewhere in the sky, maybe on a small bridge, maybe on a tree branch, or maybe on a rock. I encountered a big monkey. I knew it was angry.

I remember lots of green from this dream because it was in a jungle.

DC's: none

I'm experiencing terrible recall lately. I haven't had any substantial recall for days now. Last night I only recalled a bit a fragment of a dream. It's barely worth writing down, but I will anyway for the sake of consistency and discipline.

Tea on Tap Fragment

I was in the kitchen. I was going to make a cup of tea. I went to the sink to wash a cup, but the water that came out of the tap was tea and I filled my cup. I recall being slightly confused, and then just accepting it.

I found myself sitting in an old gymnasium with a basketball court inside it. I'm sitting on the stage, looking out onto the court. A guitar ensemble is performing, but I don't recall hearing any music. Next thing I know I bum a cigarette from someone and begin shooting hoops with my friend Alex Coffin. Someone points out that I'm wearing Black Eyed Peas underwear and starts making fun of me. I look down, and sure enough I am. I defend the wardrobe choice, despite the fact that I agree the wardrobe is a funny choice. I walk off the court and over to the wall left of the stage, where I find a menu for what appears to be an ice cream shop. I remember the words not making any sense, but that this fact didn't catch my attention. Next thing I know I'm scooping what might best be described as granola-texture ice cream out of box.

I found myself sitting in the back seat of a car, which was being driven by a friend's dad (Mark Faylor Sr.). Someone sitting in front passenger seat as well, who I believe was female. We were driving around urgently, searching for cheap parking. Eventually we started driving really fast, flying off and on the road, making sharp turns, etc. I remember thinking that we were going faster than is safe, but for some reason I wasn't frightened. At some point I looked out the window and noticed a satellite crashing towards the area in which we were driving. The satellite hit the ground and then flew back up into the air as if it had bounced off the earth (an explosion may have occurred). The next thing I know we have found a parking spot (for 25 cents, according to the sign in front of the spot). I vaguely remember walk into a building and speaking with my friend Robbie Madrid. I don't remember the details of what we talked about, but I believe the conversation mood was light and humorous.

So my theory that my dreams get better as the night progresses is ringing true. Well, maybe not better, but I can remember them better.

I was camping. With my old roommates Mike, Stan, Anthony, and Lynn. It was dark out and my dog (who Lynn had to put to sleep three years ago) was there. We were pitching a tent. Someone said that we had to get ready to go to the parade downtown. So we walk over and there are six horses and Stan is getting them harnessed to pull like a flatbed thing that you ride on when you're on a hayride. So I got in and I had Addie with me and then she escaped from a hole in the back of the flatbed. So I stood up and said something like, "well, someone needs to stay here with the dog," and jumped off the flatbed. I chased after Addie but I couldn't find her.

There was something else about being in a grocery store but I can't remember why... and when I left the grocery store I was in a car driving to a neighborhood.

I'm going to make this quick so I can run to class and take my Art History final.

Part 1... I was at a high school football field with a track running around it and there was a big storm coming with a lot of wind. I was running track and then all these metal poles started coming at me from out of left field, just rolling in my direction... like pvc pipe but metal, like maybe ten feet long and an inch or two in diameter. So I started running away from them but one nicked me in the leg. Next thing I know, I'm in a house in the kitchen and someone's telling me they need to amputate my leg!!!

Part 2... I'm at the beach with my mom and we're looking for something to eat. We go down the strip and there are all sorts of touristy shops and some vendors selling chicken strips and fries and like fair food. So I ordered some chicken strips with honey mustard sauce and the guy selling it to me says I have to wait eight hours for it to be marinated! So I go looking around in some shops and I find magic mushrooms for sale. There are two plants, one's a fly agaric and the other one's brown with white spots. So I grab a baggie that was under the shrooms and pick the tops off of the fly agaric and bring it to the register. They were only 60 cents an ounce.

Couldn't remember any dreams from half the night. I kind of remembered one:

I'm outside in like a woodsy area. Maybe by a river. I'm walking along a path and I see this guy and his truck. Then there's this other guy and they're in a confrontation. The feisty guy is super short and he looks over at me and shows me that he has a gun on his hip. So I start walking away and I get on my cell phone as soon as I'm far enough away and call 911. They get on the phone and I'm telling them an address where we're at. (Which is weird because how can a woodsy area by the river have an address??) But I was confused anyway because I didn't know whether I was at North or South whatever street name I gave them. But the address was 1. And while I'm on the phone I find this waterfall and I think this is the only way to get away from the crazy guy with the gun, so I start going down the side of it and then I'm just like fuck it and I get *in* the waterfall and slide down to the bottom which ends up just being dry land.

So at the bottom I find this bmx looking type bike and I'm walking with the bike over to this little sheltered area where there are some teenagers hanging out. I think I told them that they need to get out of there because of the guy with the gun and I don't know where he went. So they start running up this spiraling staircase and I'm trying to follow but I've got this bike, so I can't go up the stairs. I find another way out and then I'm at a bridge but the water level has gone up and no one knows why. So there is no way to get across this river to the other side and I see some people coming to help us but they can't get across from their side either.

Andrea got up to get ready for work and that dream ended. I went back to sleep and dreamed up this:

I'm in some sort of recital. On a stage like the one in elementary school in the cafeteria. Someone's giving directions but I can't see who it is. There's another guy and a girl on the stage with me. I'm not sure what my part is. They's bobbing back and forth together and singing "row row row your boat" and whoever is giving the directions is telling them that with every word they have to perform a new action like put their hands up above their heads or squat down or whatever. I decided I didn't like what was going on here and it was too weird for me so I left and went behind the stage I guess and there was another room. Some people were shooting pool. I'm thinking, sweet, I can get in on this. When it's my turn I have this crazy impossible shot after sinking like three balls and I straight up scratched. I was so embarrassed that I went outside. It turns out that outside is my old next door neighbor's house so I look at my old house next door and whoever moved into it has expanded it and took all the siding off. I looked into the backyard and there were no more hills, it was leveled. And two cars just like my dad owns are in the backyard: a blue 75 corvette stingray and a GTO. I'm wondering if whoever lives there now has stolen my dad's cars!!

I guess I went in to investigate who lives there now because the next thing I know I'm in the house. Only, it's not the same floor plan (maybe it's not the same house??). Then some other people arrive and it's like a game of hide-and-seek. I'm trying to find places to hide and there are tons of doors and I don't know where they all go so I open them to look and I find a good hiding spot and then like five other people come and hide in the room I'm in. I don't even know what we're hiding from. Then I leave the room I'm in and find a door that leads to the attic. I go all the way up to the top and it's a cemetery!! And there's an alarm set up so that you can't go past the top step. I accidentally set the alarm off and I run back down the stairs and find a door that leads outside. Once I get outside I think I'm safe. There's a car parked in front of the house and four guys get out. They come over to me and I think they were all gay. They wanted to tell me to stay low and make sure that no one from the inside of the house can see me from the windows. Then they walk away across the lawn.

A couple of nights ago I dreamed that I was at Denny's with a girl from my Spanish class, Sharon. She ordered something and I said I didn't want anything. So the waitress comes over faster than if we had ordered Mexican and brings us something that did not look appetizing at all. It looked like some sort or scrambled egg concoction on toast. I looked at Sharon and she just says, "That is *not* what I ordered," and pushed it away. So I talked to the cook who I flagged over to the table after he brought someone else their food and he said, "sure sure, I'll be right back." He came back and brought me a bowl of my favorite Denny's meal, which is a sausage supreme skillet. I have no idea what happened to Sharon's food.
