memorable

Very sketchy dream and cant help feeling there's much I've forgotten but here goes:

I remember being in Exeter in the back of the neighbours of my grandparents where I used to stay as a kid. I remember the garden was set up for a wedding party with food all around. I found myself walking through the bouncy castle to get into the main part of the garden. I then looked down at my wrist to see that the tattoo of Garfield (just had a tattoo but of a Basque cross done there) had somehow run and bled onto the napkin I held and began worrying whether I should try and get rid of the whole thing or get it touched up to how it was originally.

I then found myself on the round that runs at the front of these houses walking down the hill. It was at this point I woke up.

This is a lucid dream I had while listening to ‘The Stainless Steele Rat’
I was in a castle, I could suddenly hear the story playing in my ear at which point when I found I had no ear piece, I realised I was dreaming.
I could clearly see all the cobbles in the half light and spray of the rain, but on going through a door I still found myself inside the castle. As an experiment I tried flying which turned out as more of a semi controlled floating. At one point I was carrying a woman which was obviously prompted by the story that was playing in the background which I could hear and follow throughout the dream. I found myself going through several doors until one finally led to the outside, at which point I woke up.

Two dreams from last night
The first I remember being in a large Petrol Station, I remember looking in the glove compartment and finding about 5 squares of chocolate from a box of chocolates wrapped in polythene. After eating them I decided I needed to go into the garage and get some more. Next thing I remember was being in a sub terranium corridor under the Garage with soneone, we knew were graves above us with vampires in, ready to wakeup. I looked about for any type of stick that could be sharpened into a steak and worrying about those graves where the dead had already decomposed.
The next dream was very fragmented.
I was walking arround a country area then led back to my room in a psychiatric residence. Jimmy and Cookie were there (my two cats, though Cookie is now dead in real life) and was worried that they weren't accustomed to their new residence and may wonder off and get lost, I put them in a basket to take them round the area outside, but after a time found that it was too much to carry. Next thing I remember was finding myself back indoors, my cats safely in the room, talking to one of the other residents, not sure what about, but he was writing something. At this point I woke up.

This dream was very vivid and memorable, I think it occured in the morning.
I was in a large building taking part in an ice skating olympic competition. I remember walking through the hallway to the competition area. The rink was a blue plastic type surface, so to help myself I got in and started tryng to plane down the whole surface, but it was obvious that I wouldn't be able to do the whole thing in time, and wondered if planing out the dance route might give me an advantage. At this point I was told I needed to go to. I went and gave my name and details, the man on reception then gave me some papers and coins telling me it was £1000, £800 of which was for the bet.
I returned to my table by the rink where we stated a formal meal, I was chatting with several of the others on my team when I was introduced to Jo (A friend of my sisters during her school days) and told she was to be my dance partner. I was surprised at this as I thought I was dancing solo, I remember wishing for all this to be over.rockey tournament.

The first of these was a couple of nights ago on 10th February:
I remember being on a spaceship heading away from one of many planets, I knew the area was uninhabitable for some reason (black hole, antimatter or something). The next thing I remember was heading back towards the planet, feeling nervouse, with some sort of process in mind to make it habitable.
The next dream was last night 12 February:
I felt in a panic as I needed to get something important to a friend or work collegue. I was on the bus heading down the main Leeds road, trying to make sure I had everything only to realise that I'd left without putting any shoes on. Very concerned, I tried to work out if I had enough time or money for buying a pair before we were due to meet up. I decided not to and on turning up had to admit my ommission to which this person said not to worry, he had a pair that would fit. I felt sure they were too small but not wanting to contradict him I put them on, at which point I woke up.

I remember walking along a beach and looking in pools and seeing snails in their shells but they were stuffed with garlic butter , I watched them for a while wondering when they would start moving or if they were the sort I could eat.
I then went fully clothed for a swim in the sea, and floating on the surface was rubbish like nets and fishing twine and other rubbish. I held them in my mouth as I swam to shore feeling quite smug about doing my bit for the environment. I got back to the beach and put them all in a pile, but felt something in my throat, so thinking I must have swallowed a bit of twine, I reached down my throat and started pulling on what I felt, but as it was comming out I saw that I was pulling out my small intestine. This left me staring at my innards as it was lying in the sand and wondering if I would be ok if I just swallowed it back down.

Finally a long and memorable dream in full technicolour.

I was in a typical open plan office where several people were working, I knew them to be the offices of the "One to One" Web Hosting Company and I was looking for some leaflets to take with me.

As I walked around the offices, (which I think was based on Quarry House where I used to work), I could see the staff staring at me. I continued 'round noting two small tower computers and thinking to myself that that must be where they store everybodys web sites. On my second circuite I found that there were fewer members of staff, but I did meet a pretty ladywith dark brown curly hair dressed in smart casual clothes. She said that she'd been working there for twenty years it felt like she was on a treadmill day in day out. I agreed with her saying I felt the same with my job. I then asked her for some leaflets explaining that I left my Toonstopia cartooning site to run out but wanting tostartposting again, (the scene changed to the memory of my seeing the site run out, but returned to the narative once I stopped thinking about it). She then returned with a big handful of the same leaflet.

I then took the lift to the ground floor and walked just out of the building in a sheltered area when I noticed it was raining and others were leaving lighting up cigarettes before running off. I realised that I had left my favorite electronic cigarette upstais in my desk and was left with one that gave an inferior amount of vapour. I considered leaving and buying a pack of cigarettes, but decided I would be better off going back and getting it.

I turned around and got in a lift which had three buttons, "M", "0" and "1". I presses the "1" button and the lift travelled forward then up and I got out on the first floor. I then took the stairs to the second floor, stopping half way up to go to the loo. Then as I was coming to the second floor, the corridor to the second floor door narrowed. I started crawling towards the door, but as I progressed, the corridor got narrower and narrower. I decided I wouldn't be able to make it so backed out then went up the stairs to the third floor and found that to get to this floor I had to climb onto a file draw which had wheels on the bottom, smash my way through a wooden flowery patterned trellis and climb through the hole I had made. I managed to do this with difficulty, then as I was orienting myself, I wondered how many of the ladies will still be in the office.

At this point I woke up.

This is another dream where I feel that there was more to it than what I remember, but here goes.
Walking out of a building onto the path of a garden area I see a huge Boa Constrictor which was brown and furry and somehow I know that this is my cat Jimmy (even though he's a black and white cat). I realise that what's making my pet so big is that he had eaten two fully grown men. I'm not too sure if and how I intervened, but soon after seeing this he threw up the two men who walked off leaving me with a white long Boa Constrictor (Though I still knew this was my cat) who was giving me a look of pure innocence.

I put this dream down to the fact that I've been listening to the Doctor Who Big Finish audio plays. It was more like watching an episode as the action was taking place arround me with my taking no active role.
It started with the 7th Doctor having to sort out something, this he managed but there were further complications, at this point the 3rd Doctor cam in to help and I was awaire that he was not being played Jon Pertwee but a lookalike, though I thought it didn't matter as people would only be hearing him. He stated the he'd need more help and from outside I saw Tom Baker walking towards us all with Elizabeth Slayden, as he walked he kept shifting from how he looks now to how he looked when he played the 4th Doctor. At this point I woke up.

This dream happened in the morning on going back to sleep, this dream was very vivid:

I was in bed with a very good female friend of mine (we're close but not that close) and noticed I was on the right hand side of the bed with a story being red to me in the background ( I had "Weilding a Red Sword playing on the MP3 player).
On looking I found that she was completely naked while I as normal just had a pair of pants on. We start cuddling etc and she removes my pants, but before anything can happen she asks me to check what the title of the book is on the side table next to me, I roll over and though I don't see I book, I say "The Five Rings" (This is a book mentioned in the story I had on my MP3, at this point I become suspicious about the reality of everything and to test if it's a dream I ask her to switch on the side lamp, at this point I wake up.

I remember crawling about a grassy area, a dip on a hill with a wall around it and investigating the mystery about where this place is for Gene Hunt and Alex . After a while, I stand up and I'm able to confirm that where we are is not in the land of the living, she walks off and Gene raises his arms in exasperation which knocks a small rectangular object from mey hand, and he too wonders off. I get back on my hands and knees looking for this object as I know it's the only way I can get home, as I'm searching arround a shallow well someone says that there's someone in the well drowning. I look in the well and under the dirty water with fag ends floating on the top, there is a woman with black curly hair staring straight ahead. I turn to the person who'd said this and said "Don't worry, she doesn't know where she is"

This dream is another one that happened many years ago:

I dreamed that I got out of bed and went to the loo, it was only in the loo when I tried to turn on the lights and it remained dark that I realised I was dreaming, at which point I woke up. I needed the toilet anyway so once again the same thing played out and again when the light stayed off I realised that I was still dreaming and woke up. This time I got out of bed, and instead went downstairs in the dark and into the kitchen, I could feel the carpet under my feet and see the room, furniture and everything as I normally do when I walk about with no lights on. I went into the kitchen and tried the lights there, again there was no change. I was just about to go outside and wondering if I should put some shoes on when I woke up for real.

This dream happened about 10 years ago and went as follows:

I was walking down the residential road I used to live as a teenager and with me was my old school friend Kevin. We crossed the main road to go to the 'Fish & Chip' shop, but as we approached, I saw two people comming out eating their meal from a newspaper and saying "Budgy and Chips, mmmmm, mmm". It was at this point that everything struck me as strange and I realised that I was dreaming, (I didn't do any tests, at this time of my life I knew about lucid dreams, but not to such a great extent). I noticed a pretty young woman a few yards away and thought to myself "I wonder what would happen if I tried to make love to a dream character", I approached her, put my arms around her and immediately woke up saying "Oh, so that's what happens".

With what I know now, I'm still not 100% sure if this wake up was a true or false awakening.

As I was droppng off to sleep on a couple of occasions, I had the following hypnogogic snippets (not saying images as they were moving but just lasted a second or two before I woke up), which were very vivid.

Hypnogogic 01: Woman, blond hair, cut off jeans and light blue tee shirt shinning up a coconut tree, this is viewed from the base of the tree looking up.

Hypnogogic 02: A woman as pinoccio, not as cute as this sounds as it wasn’t a cartoon image but a very vivid real image, the wood was a light coloured wood heavily varnished but the eyes were real, deep brown and frantically looking from side to side.

Hypnogogic 03: A woman with long blod hair and a red mac walking along a path up a mountain. Viewed from slightly below looking up.

Became aware of myself in Gainsborough Road, a place I used to live as a child, I was awair of hearing voices and took out the MP3 ear peace out but the voices continued and found I had another ear piece in there (I normally go to sleep listening to an audio book on my MP3 player) so took that one out. Mother next to me and I told het I think that I'm dreaming, tried flying but only managed to hover for a few seconds. Tried again by flapping my arms, felt more like I was swimming upwards rather than effortlessly flying, shouted to everybody arround that this was a dream. As I came back down, I noticed that there were several chest freezers on the grass, and decided I wanted to try and see what dream icecream would taste like, asked my mother for some, she said "anything for you" went to the freezer, but when I looked in, she had just scraped together ice in the empty freezer. Tried my hand at flying again, getting to about thirty feet up, looking down, noticed an upper class type making a political speach, let myself sink and landed behind him, and started mockingly gesturing pretending to be an ancient roman senate politition, at which point I woke up.
