Muddled yet again. I have forgotten quite a lot but I’ll type what I do remember. Often when I’m taking a trip somewhere I will have dreams weeks in advance about forgetting luggage or not being packed in time or missing my trips entirely… this is one of those dreams.

I was getting ready for my NYC trip last minute. I remember packing my suitcase and I know I put my jewelry making stuff in there, and for some reason I put my painting easel and paints in it too. So I felt good about it. Next I know I’m at the airport trying to board the plane and I don’t have my tickets. So I go to try and print them out but I forgot my Eticket code and can’t get on the plane. My trip gets delayed a day and now I’m going on Thursday instead of Wednesday. So I don’t know which day it is but I’m at an airport again and I can’t remember what I was trying to do, but I saw two of my former classmates – Cj and PB. There is some kind of SAT-like test being administered here, and for some reason I don’t want to tell them about my plane mishaps so instead I just pretend I’m there to take the test. Then CJ walks over to me (this is weird) and casually puts a bag of weed under my nose to smell, so I smell it and “nom nom nom” the bag. (Like literally bite it, lightly) He smiles and walks away. I wake up.

This dream is very muddled and I wrote it down hours later so I've forgotten a lot. Clarity was not so good.

First I think the whole dream took place at a summer camp I worked at last summer. Or the one I went to growing up. Or a mixture of both. Anyway I think I was working there and staying with Libby W., we were roommates or she was a big part of it. Next thing I remember I’m with Lauren and we are on a mission to defeat some evil person… like the director of the camp was evil? So in order to get to the evil director you had to do a series of tasks, and I only remember 2. The first was swimming through this underwater tunnel in the side of a huge rock. The tunnel was in the shape of a small square, and Lauren is leading me and when we get to the square I push my video camera (don’t know where that came from, I just remember that it was necessary to have with me. And it’s one of those huge chunky 90’s style cameras that sit on your shoulder) through first then squeeze myself through (and this is still all underwater). The second task is the last one before you get to evil camp director and it was an old style arcade game and Lauren had to play it constantly and not die while I went and fought the evil person, and if Lauren died then our mission would fail.

Switch - I’m still at the camp and there’s a library there, and Lauren has fainted or something so there’s a small group of us around her including Saralyn. Then someone points out the window and I look up out the windows to see a church group (mostly amish) arriving at the camp. They come in the library and there's a guy who I knew a yr ago with the group. He comes up to talk to us and I feel like he’s giving me the chance to talk to him so I try and say something witty and interesting but whatever I say comes out completely lame and I’m embarrassed. He seems mad so he starts to walk away and I call “Wait!” so he comes back and next thing I know he starts asking all these personal questions and is mean about them and also falsely accuses me of following him around when I knew him. And at some point we switched from being in the library to an outside playground where the Amish kids from his church are swinging and hanging out and it's bright and sunny. Then I woke up.

I woke up to feed the cat and remembered 2 dreams and some fragments. The first is rather fuzzy and I know I’m forgetting part of it, and the second is clear and vivid.

Dream 1- I kept visiting this little house that was by a sea somewhere and I remember it had broken and patchy boarded up windows. I would go there with some older guy who was either a professor or uncle or something. I also kept receiving letters from my best friend, and I was confused at to how she even knew about this little cottage because I always went there as an escape. One day when I was there and had received about 3 letters I looked down at the green envelopes the letters came in and they were addressed to “Shell Cottage”.

Fragment- There was giant marbles that you could put down a wooden shoot, which I think was at the previous cottage. And the shoot led out the window and into the sea.

Fragment- I was driving in a car with Trevor J. and Becca and I think it was snowy/winter outside.

Dream 2- My sister and I got home from going to a nearby town and she had a revolver and one bullet, and it was nighttime, and she was set on going inside the house and killing my brother!! We were on the porch and I stopped her and tried to talk her out of it. It didn’t work, so we went inside and we both knew he would be standing there not too far in the house (which was rather dark). She shot him, and we went out into the backyard to bury the gun! When we went to the front yard there was a cop car there with the lights off and I knew there were 2 cops in the car. We went inside and found my dad at the dining room table and he told us our brother was dead and apparently everyone thought he killed himself. He was reading the manual on how to use the gun that he had given my bro. My dad also said my mom was in the laundry room crying and the cops outside were writing up a report. At this point I broke down and started crying and then woke up.

My first Journal Entry! I have never had a Lucid Dream, so for now I'm just trying to build up my dream recall.

I went to Dillon's with Becca and Ashley. Our plan was to get a pizza from a hot food place inside the store and we all needed different stuff too so we split up. I was heading towards produce and I saw Becca ahead of me at this "kiosk" for the store where you could look up the location of stuff in the store. And for some reason she had a broom. So I continued shopping and got what I needed which was a bag of lemons and another bag of produce, not sure what it was. Then I went and got in line to check out and put both my bags of produce and also two cups full of liquid that looked just like cups from work. One cup had water and the other was full of lemon juice. So as my cashier is checking out my items I pick up a cup and take a drink, intending to drink water but I actually drank the lemon juice. But it was oddly refreshing and citrus-y. At that same moment I looked down and see a pizza on the conveyer belt. So I said to my cahier who was Lindsey K. “That’s not my pizza” and she apologizes and says it’s hers so she quickly takes it off. There are also some other Dillon's workers around (all wearing red frocks) who witnessed this little scene. At that time I also knew Becca was getting the pizza we were going to eat with Ashley.
