non-lucid

Wake up time!

Clearness : 6/10
Lucid : No

I'm waking up, but I'm not myself and I'm not in my bed, in this "new" life I got ALOT of brother and sister and the first thing I though when I woke up was, "I must hurry to take my shower first!". So I'm going outside the home to the shower. (Since when showers are outside our home!?!) I finally arrived at Shower but I noticed that I didn't took my clean clothes to change myself.

So I go back to home and the home was now upon a mountain and it was Winter. (Again I didn't ask myself questions, everything was fine in my head) As I climb the mountain I crossed 3 of my sisters going to take their shower. Once I get to the top I saw my little bro playing in the snow in front of the house and my mom is going to work, I asked her to lift me down to the shower and she accepts, an other of my sister got in the truck. It was a GMC Safari but the back door was like a Pick up and I was sit on the Tail Gate. As we go down the slope at a very fast speed I see my clothes on the side of the Slope, I jumped of the truck and took my clothes. My sister hand me her hand so I can get on the truck again, I caught her hand but wasn't able to climb on the trucks, the truck was heading to the Snowpark and my mom shouted "Why did you take us here!?!".
And I woke up...

In this dream I was one of my friend which actually have 5 brothers/sisters and a GMC safari. And probably snowboarding is already missing me!

I found myself getting frustrated this morning when I couldn't remember some stuff. I need to calm down, because I definitely will improve. It's weird that I got like that...guess I'm just excited and impatient. I think I'm already improving surprisingly rapidly for the really bad sleeping schedule I've just started fixing.

Seems I have the most recall trouble the very first time I wake up. I look at the clock and see that I usually wake up every other REM cycle, and sometimes one after the other. It's cool!

I'm super excited about dreaming tonight~ I woke up 4 times the day before yesterday, and 3 times this morning. I hate when I wake up and feel like my bed is the most uncomfortable thing ever...

Still, excited!

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

11.06.2010

Two fragments (Non-lucid)

Two fragments.

1: Yaoi, Japanese, two people wanted to do shared dreaming.

2: Blind

Black and White Inu (Non-lucid)

This is only the second dream ever that takes place in my current house.

We have two little curly-haired dogs. One is white, the other brown. At one point the brown one's face reminds me of a GSD because when I look at it, it's looks changed.

Mom gave it a weird two-word name - the first name is something to do with cars. I call it by the second word, which it responds to. It reminds me of how Finland from Axis Powers Hetalia has a terrible naming sense and names their dog 'Bloody Hanatamago' (Bloody Flower Egg).

The cats were in mom's room, where she and I were talking. She asks if it was I who said something to someone else earlier (something about sexuality) and I replied with an affirmative. Then someone comes in wanting something.

- At some point I called the brown dog's name. It came out from under the bed? and scared the cats, who ran for it.

Gap.

I go into my (old) room. My music on the computer is stuck on a loop. I turn the monitor on, and the screen is messed up. I press the restart button just as the music starts again.

That's when I see the presents on the desks wrapped in red Christmas wrapping. I feel like this scene happened twice. I've had that happen before, where a scene will replay, but it's usually different in some way. I go to find mom. Dad is in the kitchen, and I see another flat package in white wrapping with decorations on top of the trash can which is in front of the (current house) sink.

I tell mom that I almost didn't notice the presents.

- Worried what song mom heard when she was in my room to put the presents on the desk.

Sweet Water (Non-lucid)

*France and I were standing in a room full of people from Axis Powers Hetalia.

*I think it might have been a girl at first, maybe RJ? For that matter France may have been someone else.

There's a table beside us with makeup stuff on it. He dips a finger in lip gloss and holds it up and indicating that I do the same, smirking. Then we apply it to each others lips, laughing. There are two people with a video camera behind us to the left, and when they raise it towards us, France says, 'you're too late'.

Then somehow there are two Frances. The second one is offering us this container (looks like the pill box my mom has) that has clear liquid in the slots.

He asks if we want to try it. The first France tries it. Then I try to figure out how to drink it. If I raise it to my lips to swallow, it will spill. In the end I end up darting out my tongue and tasting it. It's sweet, like sugar water. The second France has a gleam in his eye and a part of me wonders if it's an aphrodisiac.

- There were these booths. I think I imagined what each was for, including a a couple making out it one.

Handicapped (Non-lucid)

In school(?) a band of Japanese (and a few American) kids (and midgets?) come out and sing a song in English and Japanese. There's a walkway and stage. The room is filled by students. I'm in a line to the left of the walkway.

We all clap a lot in response. A couple of people go up onto the stage and say thank you. Shika (from my old school and looking just as young) is one. As she talks, she also does sign language for those with handicaps.

Someone asks her if someone is considered handicapped (he had like three things wrong with him) - she says 'of course'.

I think this part of the same dream:

Apparently we were doing this project. I was the '_ River' (_ = a Japanese word I can't remember). A Japanese boy (who may have looked like my old classmate Cobb) turned and asked me in Japanese something about the River. I responded yes even though I didn't fully understand him.

D/s (Non-lucid)

Caution: BDSM contents below. No sex.

Note: This could take place in the school setting dream. I do recall that we were facing something - that could have been the stage.

I was one of a group of people sitting in some chairs. I say to my neighbor that I'm not going to the *my last name* reunion - that most of the *last name*'s that I know are in the other state anyways. She agrees.

Gap.

Somehow I end up in a tentative Dom/sub relationship with her*. It just kind of developed into it.

More gaps.

We're in a pretty bare room. The bed has light green-ish sheets. I ask her a question about what she expects from me. She says something in response, and how she's new at this so doesn't know what to do. I think to myself 'whatever turns you on' but don't say it aloud. She says something about how one thing did turn her on.

Before, I had been uncertain about what exactly she wanted from me, so I was clumsy in my responses. But now I knew what she wanted from me - she wanted me to take it, not be reactive. I'd been struggling between those two or being humiliated.

- I'm wearing shoes similar to my high-top brown ones in RL. One is messed up, it makes my walking uneven. I have to stop to fix it in the room. Think this was before the questioning.

...

We're called out of the room by a man, perhaps a police officer for questioning. He says that someone called him in saying that they saw slavery going on.

- After some talking... He says, "You didn't even tell your brother (or sister? sibling?)."

- I thought it was no wonder, because Gilbert (from Axis Powers Hetalia) would never let her** live it down.

*'Her' might have actually been my friend Pillywiggin. Yesterday I was thinking of how awesome it'd be to have a shared dream with her. Instead she (maybe) just appeared in this dream... Oops.

**Gilbert has a brother, Ludwig, who is teased for being into BDSM because Germany in general supposedly has a lot of BDSM porn. So I associate these characters with it, probably why Gil ended up in the dream. 'Her' might have became him, 'Ludwig'; I can't remember the pronoun used.

Note 2: First time my last name was said aloud in a dream. Not sure if my first has been... I don't remember if so.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to be at 2:45 AM.

I was in some sort of building. The interior looked liked that of a cargo ship. The doors for instance were those heave doors with rounded corners. There was some kind of activist group inside. I think they were fighting for womens rights. There were some women in the building as well. I had a submachine gun, but for some reason it didn't work. I still had some ammunition. I asked R. what ammunition he used, because maybe he could use mine, I didn't need my ammo anyway. At first he didn't respond, then he said he needed .44 ammo. I had 3006 I think. The shooting started. Someone on my side got shot next to me. I waited for a while to see if he could still fight, he couldn't and so I took his gun, a submachine gun as well. I moved away from some boxes and took cover beside a dooropening. It was dark in the other room. I could make out some two people standing there, but I didn't knew if they were friendly or not. I waited for a while, then I fired at the one on the left. He or she fell to the floor. The other one walked through the door. He was not on our side. He had white earbuds in his ears, he was glowing with a green light and he held both of his arms up in the air. Apparently this was a sign that he had a nuclear bomb. I shouted "run!" and started running. I ran past the boxes and out of the building.

I kept running through some streets. There was some brown goo on the ground. I jumped up a building. Apparently I was quite good at free running. There was someone behind me. I didn't know who it was, so I shouted K. at him. He didn't respond, but I knew he was friendly. I kept jumping over obstacles and rolled over the ground after big drops. After a while we were in some park. I was on a grassy field with a line of trees on both sides. I saw a car a little further. I figured we were going to drive together and I wanted him to drive, but then I saw a second car. We both got into a car and drove for a while. There was a third car behind us, it was hostile. I pulled over, and shot the driver of the vehicle. There came another enemy towards us on a big yellow plasticlooking motorcycle. I shot her as well. There were a bunch of weapons on the ground, presumably from my enemies. I saw a shotgun, m16, pistol and submachine gun among others. I couldn't carry everything, so I think I took the submachine and the m16.

I was still in the park. I was standing on top of slope and I could see quite far. I saw someone down the hill, it was an enemy. I aimed down the sight of my m16 and aimed for the head. He fell to the ground. Other people appeared down the hill and I kept sniping them. Sometimes I hit them, sometimes I missed. At some point I think a football team appeared. I shot them too. V., who was behind me apparently, asked my for something. I said something along the lines of: "not now, I'm bussy." When I was done I sat down beside her and R. There was quite a large group of people that I know there.

I was sitting down on the carpet in the freshmen center of our school. There were combination locks on the ground. I was trying to solve them because on each one of them the middle number was missing and it was my job to figure out the missing combos. However, each combination lock also had a sound clip embedded in the back of it.

As I was sitting in front of one of my old teacher's doors, I listening to a sound clip.

Thump, Thump, Thump...

It was the sound of a beating heart. I continued to listen carefully and the heart beat grew irregular. I heard the sounds of a teacher yelling, telling them to let the student die. He was killing her.

I looked up at the teacher in the classroom. He was sitting at his desk. He was the same teacher from the same sound clip. He looked up and stared into my eyes as my facial expression turned to fear and disgust. He quickly realized what I knew and bolted from his chair and began to chase me. I attempted to make a run for it out the door but I was instantly put into a psychological bind. I collapsed to the floor as I shook with regret and fear. I dug my fingernails into the floor, trying to escape the bind. My friend Joe saw me, and tried to shake me out of the spell but I only screamed louder...

5:30a-10:45a
Murder possible
I was first person, but not me. I was a woman named Jayne, and I was reading a letter I found on the table. The hand-writing was a bit hard to read, but it was left for me by the man who planned to murder me. The general gist of the letter (which was very eloquently written) was that he’d been visiting my house and watching me for a while. This was one last way to feel closer to me. I realized that by the tone of the letter, the murderer could be anyone. More apt to be someone intelligent looking and trustworthy, rather than a thug. This stayed with me for the rest of the dream.

New Receptionist
I was at work, and Sonya was quitting. I was chatting with Bobbi (who didn’t look like herself), who was upset because there wasn’t time to train anyone new from scratch. I thought maybe we could work out a deal with my company, and I could apply? Bobbi loved the idea.

Underwater Camera
I was on a cruise ship, helping my dad (who was the captain) rig up this neat camera/screen. People could look through the screen, and see underwater as the ship passed over it. We fed it through the tube once, and I couldn’t really see anything through the screen. We would have to feed it again.

I sent the camera down the tube and watched it go down on the screen. I was lying on my stomache and it felt like I was going down a waterslide. I immediately became self-conscious, as I was leaving myself vulnerable to attack from the murder, who could be anyone, anywhere.

I left the ship to find out where the camera ended up. There was a shallow pool with soapy water for people to clean their feet off in. It was a nice park. I thought about anchoring the camera up on something, but then thought, “But if the camera is anchored, how is the ship supposed to sail?”

Throwing out some garbage
I was at some bins behind a Zellers, dumping some garbage. Someone joined me there. As I was walking away, I thought, “That could have been the murderer!” and started to jog. It felt very free, rather than the “water-legs” I often get.

* June 11: Couldn't post this yesterday because I was gone all day!

This morning was great! I woke up a lot (even though I kind told myself not to, because I knew I needed to get up early). It was frustrating a few times because I'm always a bit hot and generally uncomfortable when I woke up - but I always got back to sleep, so.

Before sleep I meditated with my CD and I love how it puts me right to sleep. XP Also, each time I woke up after, I used my autosuggestion mantra to stop my mind from running rampant. It seemed to help. ♥

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

10.06.2010

Personifications (Non-lucid)

Personifications (anthropomorphic) of countries are real but unseen. Against the advice of others, I 'chose' some as, like, patrons or something.

In the end I was checking out America, boisterous as in Axis Powers Hetalia.

- Something about them being nameless.

- "I avoided them before, but now I'm choosing a lot/many." - me aloud

Dream evolves: It was more than that. They actually became a part of you, like in your mind. Some had names I think, and it wasn't countries anymore.

Note: Inspired by Axis Powers Hetalia.

The Art of Wart Removal (Non-lucid)

We are looking for something. We step in a room (which I believe is the room from my old house, but with nothing in it) and my mom's South Western blanket (black, orange, some red) is spread to cover the whole floor. A woman sits at the back on top of it.

We sit down on the floor at the other end. One man on my right and two people on my left I believe.

She starts talking about warts and how to remove them. She says that one reason you can get them is because of something to do with your period. I don't recall what else she said. However, I do recall some Japanese words, but they were in my head I think... And I tried to look up one (in katakana I believe) in my JWPce (Japanese word processor) but it wasn't in there.

The whole reason I think she was talking about warts is because beforehand, mom gave me a tiny tube of wart remover (blue lid, white tube, had some other small text on it). There were no instructions on it. I couldn't remember how to use it (so I went to look for mom to help maybe?).

Note: This is so weird, seriously. Warts? I haven't had one in years! Haven't even thought of the word itself. Ah subconscious...

Net Flooring (Non-lucid)

I was walking on the floor in one of my really old bedrooms (Renee Lane). It had some kind of clearish net over it. I toed one of the holes, it was wider than the rest like someone had stretched it. I didn't see anything in the room.

Apparently I had once had this really cool bed made of rope and net and such, but while it was nifty, it was dysfunctional for sleeping on so it was taken down.

APH Fancomic (Non-lucid)

I was watching an Axis Powers Hetalia fancomic sequence go by (in my head, yet not). It seemed to be humorous. There was England, Japan (UKJp?) and other characters.

Only thing is, I think I was awake. I opened my eyes. So I might have been in a scene. I get those fairly often, but this was just so BAM right there and I didn't realize I was awake. Hm! It was really cool though.

Taking Advantage of a Kidnapping (Non-lucid)

A bad guy told 'me' to call my parents and read out a code. He was surprisingly young (,not much taller than me) and had blond, short, curly-ish hair.

Only the code was messed up - it was like part of it had been erased, or written over. I showed it to him. He wasn't happy.

I can't tell if it was 'my' mother or father, so I'm going with father. So when I talked to my father, he sounded so dull, like he wasn't feeling anything. I didn't notice until this conversation:

Me: "He's stronger than me. I may not make it. I just want you to know that I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you."
Father: "Okay."
Me: Says something... "I have to go." maybe?

When he just said 'okay' so dully, I briefly worried if he cared what was happening.

This is kind of a gap, but I think I either beat up the guy or he just disappeared and I assumed that I beat him up. Some guys came and took him away.

I was in this area (of the house?) and I had these little square gray-ish pellets. I threw them into these little houses and they exploded. I remember throwing one in and shielding my face. It was cool.

But then I thought of something, and felt around in one of the houses as if there was supposed to be something in them. But it was empty. Just cool to the touch black flooring.

I threw a pellet into this little oil lamp and it set on fire. Cool, again.

Gap?

But then I realized that...there's food in the kitchen! I rushed over. I wondered where the trash bags were, thinking they might be under the sink which is where we keep them in RL. But then I spotted one on the counter. The area was just like my grandma's in RL.

I grabbed the bag and started putting stuff in it. There were a lot of chips (I remember cheese puffs in a freezer bag, barbecue flavor, and one other type of barbecue flavor or something I'd never seen before) in plastic bags.

In one of the bags was a green bottle of some alcoholic beverage with some other little things. I decided to take it with me. I wondered how mom would feel about me drinking it.

Then I knew I needed to put the fire out because it would take too long for me to get everything packed and out of the house.

The fire was actually in the wall, and blazing around one area...and it went down in a strip down a nice cupboard. It was really cool looking, very similar to real fire except for the way it spread. Too slow and contained.

I grabbed a pot (with dried candle tart in the bottom?), filled it with some water and splashed it on the wall. It didn't quite put it out, so I did it again.

Gap.

RL Mom (and dad?) came. She asked why I was taking food, because we had some at home - but she always says that even when we're super low. I said, "But not junkfood." She couldn't say anything to that. XD

She started going through the stuff and helping me. I felt a bit jealous that she was getting to see things - I didn't want to miss out on all the good stuff. I was pretty excited!

Mom said that she hoped she wouldn't be the one having to carry all the stuff out. I said of course not, that I would be.

I found some cereal - lucky charms and a bag of some other kind. I said that it was what I had been planning to get the next time we went to the store. (It wasn't really, I was just excited and they looked good.)

Gap-ish...

I saw that there was stuff on top of the refrigerator. Candles, picture frames, a few other doodads and later, flowers in pots. Everything is so nice looking and I got excited again. I started taking off the things that I wanted.

I got excited...again! when I found a Lucid Dreaming candle. It even had instructions on how to use it on the side. It was white and blue.

When I went to show mom, she pointed out that I had brought the 'Good Fortune' candle instead. There was another one on the fridge as well that had a beautiful mythical woman on it. It was a lovely rose madder color, and written on it was a line about how once burned, the effects would last for a while.

Then I saw the flowers. At first there was just some boring green ones, but I did see this little cactus plant that I liked. I was worried about taking it though, because it could spill if I put it in a bag, or I'd have to hold it in the car.

I got up on...my full laundry basket from RL? and started pulling all the pots of plants to the front. That's when I saw the colored plants. I called mom in to see them. There was a really pretty red one. I'd say it was a rose, but it was too big/wide.

~Gap~ I discovered the movies!

There was Spider-man 1, 2, 3 and...4. Mom asked me if it was okay if she took the last two. I didn't care.

I saw Supernatural and practically jumped on them. There were a few on VHS, the rest were seasons. I was excited to have nabbed them before my sister, who was suddenly there looking through the movies too.

She discovered Merlin and I was even more excited. She handed me a stack of them - they were the slim cases that are usually in a box, like with Joss Whedon's Firefly.

- At some point I worried about taking stuff, because I thought maybe there were people that came by to take care of it all. I wasn't worried about the morality of it, just that I'd be hindering their job or something.

Note: My sister loves movies, so I'm not surprised she appeared at that time. And about the food thing - it totally makes sense for my family. Luckily we got our food stamps today and went to the store.

I think...this is the longest dream I have had yet. o_o

Lost One (Non-lucid)

I got lost. It was like I was young again. I got on grandma's back porch and peered in the window. She was in the kitchen. I couldn't get myself to knock.

I thought about sleeping on the swing. It was a bit cool out but it felt good. Before getting off the porch, I took out my red permanent marker and wrote a 'thank you' type message on a board.

As I went down the steps, there was a German Sheppard Dog, normal in the dream. I patted it.

Gap~

I made it back home somehow, and mom said that it was good because it was cold out. I told her about where I went and about my message.

Note: Grandma got a new dog, but it's not a GSD. I just want one and was talking about it recently. This is a deja vu dream - as I wrote it down I felt like I had totally had this dream before. While I know if I've had 'at grandma's house' dreams, I was never young or saw a dog...but then again, I think I was lost once... Hmm.

Cappuccino (Non-lucid)

Mom came in saying she'd get me some coffee/cappuccino. Seems we were going somewhere, or she wanted me to go somewhere with her.

I thought about bringing up my Starbucks' card, but she mentioned somewhere specific so I decided not to say anything.

Note: One of those dreams that's so real life that it's surprising when you realize it was just a dream.

Oi'! Cat Mummies! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a bit odd, I was inside the Eidos TR forums it seems like, or at least I don't remember a computer screen. I remember I kept PMing Shanice, and it was titled "Oi'." I was trying to get her to reply so I sent it to her repeatedly.

Shift.

I'm at the top of this huge valley, I look down and see a rope hanging just under the ledge I'm standing on. Shanice comes up behind me and say's "Oi'! how many times are you going to send me a PM titled Oi'?"

And we just started laughing.

We start to climb down the rope and it takes forever seeing because it's almost a mile down into the valley. As we get down into this valley we see cat mummies closing in on us.

Recall ends.

I recall something that I own that would help them - an orange button/pin that makes the whole team perform better. I don't have it on me, but Jon tells me that he has one at his house, so we go. We're there in a timeshifting few seconds, and most of his 'house' looks like an outdoor garden. We bullshit around a little and then find the pin in a shoebox. I notice that his is different from what I 'remember'; it has an LCD display that allows some sort of skill adjustment. Jon tells me to hide because his mother and sister are home, so, confused, I follow his shoving motions into a nearby bush. His mom sees me, though, and tells me to come out and talk with them. Jon's mom is blonde, yet this woman's hair is black (in retrospect, I realize it to be another friend's mom). I can't recall what was said between us, but as far as I can tell, we got the pin to the game and helped Pitt win. Go us.

Wal-Mart Manager Me (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I walk into wall-mart and into the freezer section where my little brother works. (He does not work in wall-mart! And he is too young!)It's in the back right part of the store instead of near the front. I walk up to his manager and say hello. She looks exhausted! She tells me she's going to have to fire my brother and that she is quitting too. She asks me if I want to be manager and I don't answer - I'm too dumbfounded. I don't like the fact that my brother is getting fired, but I do need a job. So unwillingly I take it. (Wouldn't do that in real life...) Then they asked if my mom wanted Toby's job, I knew that she was looking for a job so I said yes. I walked over to where Toby was, he was feeding some sharks in a little tank! I hung out with him for a little while, but then I had to tell him the bad news. He took it well, he even seemed happy.

Since mum hadn't started work yet, the woman who gave me her position sent another worker in to cover mum's shift for the day. We started working. More like, I watched. I wasn't aloud to do anything other than supervise. I hated that, so I protested and told her I wanted to help. She said "oh no, you'll have plenty to do later."

That didn't sound very promising to me. So I hung around and I started thinking, "what if mom doesn't want the job?"

"I bet she doesn't," I said to my self. So I asked if the higher-ups if I could call her and ask, but before I can even do that they convince me to just let a girl named Andee/Andy take the job. And so Andy came and took over the shift with me. So now I'm working with Andy instead of the woman who was covering the shift.

Our boss comes into watch. I'm sitting in a very ridged/masculine position with my chin resting on my fist, sitting a bit hunched over.

"Psst! Be you're self! Relax a little!" And says when our boss isn't looking. She imitates me position mockingly.

"I am being my self, I'm just weird like that," I said then blushed. When our boss turned back around she was mumbling about the trash man, complaining about him taking too many breaks. She told me she should go get a uniform for me.

"I prefer to wear the cloths I have on if it's okay," I said shyly. I got a bit bored, so I turn around and push the blinds out of the way so I could look out the window. The trash man angrily whispers at me to "not be so rough with the blinds." So I gently move the blinds out of my way and look out. What I see is disturbing, my mom was in the lap of another man - kissing him! Then I noticed I was holding the blinds too hard again, so I let go. And got a death glare from the trash man.

I'm not sure what happens after that.

My dad and I are walking the streets of Covington, KY, and talking about what I call "middle English" slang after he uses the word "gazooks!" However, in the dream I understand "middle English" to be Wild West or Industrial Revolution times. I make a joke that we're going back to 1865, like the cast of "Back to the Future" visited the frontier. Exactly after I do so, we find ourselves walking in the Covington of the past. It looks like a typical frontier mining town, and we go on a quest to find his grandfather who is living there. We interact with the bums to find this information, and eventually are led to a saloon. Both of us sit at a rather uncrowded long table, and I request a hard cider. The pretty barmaid smirks at me and says "Take off your glasses, Mr. Mafoy," with the unspoken assumption that they make me look younger than legal drinking age.

Wow, first real entry into the new DJ system! As you surely have noticed, I've moved ALL of my last DJ into this one. If you want to read those, just look for posts tagged 'archive', or that have 'ARCHIVE:' as the beginning of the title. I've also made a new 'welcome' page, but unfortunately it has already been lost amid all the other posts...I was kind of hoping I could set it to appear as the first page everyone sees, but it doesn't look like that is possible (yet). Anyway, for what it's worth, feel free to visit the welcome page!

Unfortunately, I don't get to start off with some big, awesome post. But since my dream recall is getting quite shabby I need to write what I remember and start building that back up. Next time I have a lucid dream I don't want to forget all the details!

The beginning of the dream is a blur. I didn't stay in one area or storyline for very long; even though it was all one dream, without any level of lucidity whatsoever I was subject to the whims of my sleeping mind, which seemed to take me all over the place. One moment I was in a futuristic setting, the next a medieval, and the next something like real life. I can't remember what I was doing in the first two settings...I can only vaguely remember the face of another person in each one.

However, I do remember something of what happened in the FA-ish place. I was looking at pictures from the medieval place I had just been, when the phone rang. It was a woman I shall refer to as Jane Doe. (she's from real life, and in real life I care about her a lot, hence my mind put her in the dream) She was returning a call I had made to ask if she wanted to go out together with me. Said she was free on Monday at 3:50 (don't ask why that exact time; I don't know). Fine and good, right? Almost. Her father was also on the phone, and apparently yanked it out of her hand and started yelling at me for taking his daughter away from him. She quickly grabbed the phone back and told me not to pay attention. That didn't really help calm down her dad, though. Eventually she had to just assure me that it would be alright and she'd be there at 3:50...and then had to hang up.

After that I walked off to do something...and next thing I know, I'm waking up.

Definitely not the best dream night ever.

Poor recall again, but for once I'm sort of glad. It's better than dreaming about what happened yesterday.

1- Four Silly Rats
I have my rat cage out in the back yard. I now seem to have four rats: Dusty, Luna, another white one who's name I don't remember, and Rainbow (who has very colorful fur). Dusty is a trouble-maker. At one point she runs away, but I eventually find her and put her on top of the cage. There is an electric wire stretched across the yard which she is trying to mess with. The other rats are nervous, because the wire keeps getting closer and closer to the cage. Dusty shocks herself, and I get shocked trying to get it away from the other rats. Dusty's fur is singed, and she falls over for a moment, stunned. I pick her up by her tail. "Owww, that was painful," she moans in her little rat voice. ((I love it when my rats talk in dreams. Their voices are so cute!))

"I told you not to mess with it."

2- Runaway
I am playing with some runaway kids. One of the older ones is chasing me through a brier patch, and I am purposefully running through the briers rather than using the deer trails so that escape is easier. My poor arms...

When we get to the end of the gravel road behind my house, I notice that there is a McDonald's built there. "Cool!" I say, "I never knew we had a McDonald's behind our house!" ((LOL The stupidity of this is amusing. We live way out in the country, for one thing...)) One of the girls I am with runs in and orders a Happy Meal. I am worried that I don't have any money to pay for it, since she is in my care, but she has her own money.

So, I had my first false awakening that I've ever remembered last night, but I didn't realise and was kicking myself afterwards.

I awoke -- or rather I got out of bed following a seemingly failed WBTB WILD attempt -- and went down stairs. I ate breakfast in the lounge with my family. I was annoyed with myself that I couldn't get comfortable when trying my WBTB. I sat watching TV, not doing much. I looked at the clock and saw it was 35 minutes past my usual waking time. Then I awoke for real.

I was having trouble trying to get comfortable when I returned to bed for the WBTB. It would seem I fell asleep without realising and just kind of kept going logically in my dream. I've never experienced a false awakening or anything similar before, at least not that I can remember. The time in the dream was 35 minutes later than when I would usually get up, which I should have caught since my WBTB time is obviously earlier than that. I really need to be more diligent in doing RCs whenever I wake up or leave my bed for any reason.

On a side note, I've had no recall over the previous two nights. I really must get back on track with it. I wonder if stress affects recall? Super stressed lately.

Abstract DV debate (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Went to bed too late (yet again), so I had one dream. Since I've been reading Dan Brown's new book, I think this dream was influenced by it. I was on the DV forums, in the off-topic secion, most likely the R/S forum. I was debating the power of the human mind, and whether or not thoughts had mass, which I argued they did. This caught my opponent in the debate (Slash?) completely off-guard. There was some more back-and-forth banter, but the dream ultimately ended in some sort of enlightening revelation. I remember little of it, but the phrase, "Movement is power" seems to be ringing a bell. So yeah, freaky dream...

Chaos and enlightenment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Went to bed much too late last night (again). Did LD mantra, etc. I remember one dream, somewhat faintly. I recall that there was absolute anarchy and chaos, and nothing was making sense. However, there was also a sense of enlightenment and learning, a coming of great knowledge. It was a pretty abstract dream, all in all. I've been reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, which may account for this dream.
