Exploring My Mind

I could only remember a very short bit of this dream.
For some reason, I was a lucid dream teacher in a school. I wasn't grown up or anything, still just a teen. I had to teach these two students named Hank and Jane, and help them become good at LD'ing.
Sadly, that's all I remember. But this is good, because I haven't remembered a single dream in months now. My recall is finally going back up thanks to everything I've been practicing. ^^
Where I was:A classroom at some random school that I've never seen before.
What I was doing:Teaching people on how to lucid dream.
Who was there:Two odd dream characters named Hank and Jane. Sucks I didn't go lucid. I wanted to talk to them more. But who cares, I'm going lucid tonight~

This dream was actually quite short, but in it, I almost went lucid.

I was in my grandma's car, and she was driving me back to my house to drop me off. When I got to my house, she drove off, and I looked around. Something didn't feel right. I noticed some of the local kids I hang out with were walking towards my house, glaring. Something felt off about them too. I then turned to my house and noticed that it looked VERY run down, and that various people were entering and exiting it with stuff. One person exited my house and walked by me, smiling from ear to ear. I watched him walk away, and he vanished in mid-walk. When I walked up to the front door, it slammed shut and wouldn't open, so I went around to the garage to get in that way. I took a good look at the garage door opener, and noticed the numbers on the buttons were symbols... but I simply remembered where the numbers were and typed in the code, opening my garage and getting into the house. My parents cars were parked in it as well, so I assumed they were home.
When I got in however, multiple things were wrong. Stuff was thrown around on the floor, people were everywhere in my house, (note that I didn't know them at all) and I went up to someone and asked him where my parents were. He said with a happy face, "Gone." I asked him to explain a little, but he ignored me, and took various things on the floor. That's when I almost became lucid, as I started to question if this was real. I felt the feeling coming to me, I started to realize that things weren't making sense, and a loud noise in the background of the dream distracted me, and I forgot all about that feeling. The dream ended soon after.

Note: I did not go lucid.

DJ Entry #1
I woke up wearing an outfit the likes of which a U.S. soldier would wear. I looked next to me to find that my best friend had the same get-up. Apparently we were soldiers who had to defend a cruise ship on its way to God knows where. My family was in the room, telling both of us goodbye, and good luck, but my friend's family wasn't there at all.
The next few minutes passed as a blur, and I can barely remember them, but we went through a crowded suburb that I didn't recognize one bit. Eventually we got to the cruise ship and got on. I noticed something about all the people on the ship. They were all either people I knew, or actors from famous movies. I barely talked to any of them, as my brain led the dream on in an orderly fashion. We sat around for a while, watching out for anything suspicious. Everything else happened in what felt like minutes. Someone pulled out a gun, and fired like crazy, but we stopped him. Someone had a killer dog attacking everyone on the ship, but we stopped it. And finally, someone was tossing people overboard. We were fighting with him until he grabs me, throws me overboard, and I fall to the depths of the ocean, not making a sound. Then I woke up.
Where I was: Cruise Ship and an un-recognized suburban neighborhood.
What I was doing: Protecting the cruise ship from anything that might do it and the people harm.
Who was there: My friends, my family, and for whatever reason, famous actors.
