Hidden's Dream Journal

We were doing a dress rehearsal. My group had two routines, but I could only remember how to do one of them so I freaked out.

I was near a stage, in a theater. A guy started asking me a bunch of random questions for a project. They were fairly basic things about my life, but I didn't know the answer to a lot of them. He got fed up with my lack of knowledge after he asked how much my phone service cost. I tried to look it up, but ended up in the game section instead. I went through some menus, then played Kirby for a while because I couldn't figure out how to quit.

By the time I was finished the guy had left, and I was in my physics classroom. I found a theater app on my iPod. I clicked on it, and an animation took me through some doors and down a hall. There were green horses running alongside me.

Somewhere in here I entered the image on the screen. I came to a round room with a balcony. There were some dolphins swimming through the air in a circle with a ring of bison floating upside down above them, moving in a circle in the opposite direction.

I figured I shouldn't just accept that as reality. If something like that were to happen in a dream and I didn't reality check, I knew I would be upset with myself, so I figured I should RC just in case. I did a nose RC, which mostly just confused me. I counted my fingers and had an extra, but maybe I was just counting wrong. I counted them again, more carefully, and determined that I most definitely had six fingers where there should be four.

I grabbed the balcony's railing and noted that it was dark. I took a couple of steps down the hall, thinking that I should rush to do whatever I was going to do before I woke up. I stopped and remembered to stabilize, but I couldn't figure out exactly how. I felt like I was falling asleep. I woke up.

There was this newly invented chair that helped you lucid dream. I wanted one a lot, but my mom wouldn't get it for me. It was a new product in a line of new technology which could be used to LD. One of the old products using the technology was a hat, but it hadn't been advertised as something for LDing. There was also a couch. It was advertised that if you're in a pinch, you don't need to worry because you can just fall through the floor.

One of my friends was rock climbing. Another one of my friends put a movie on my iPod. I almost deleted it on accident. I looked up and admired the sky, which was broken up into alternating strips of regular sky and blackness. I thought about lucid dreaming.

Scene change. I taught a little kid about color and transparency using different pieces of paper. This kid was old enough that he should have known this stuff for a while, but at the same time he'd already written a story. He was really brilliant, but at the same time rather slow. He understood better when I spoke to him in Spanish, so that's what I did. I spoke better in the dream than I do IRL.

I was playing a video game where there was a snowy mountain and I had to get to the bottom. I IMed Jeff to ask him if the different blocks took different amounts of time to fall through. He seemed rather annoyed at my questions. He whispered something, but I couldn't hear what it was.

I watched Grey's Anatomy. I was a DC in the show (Violet?) who was trying to go somewhere. I swam across a lake fully clothed, which was easier than I expected. I found an ex-patient of mine, who had been crazy until I'd helped her. I asked her to help me, but she ran away. Ingrate. I was looking for my ex-husband, who had married another woman and had a child, then divorced her. I was thinking we could get married again.

I was boating down a river with some other people, being carried by the current. Back on shore, I found out I had to read another book and take a test for AP Spanish Literature. It was an extra test that was only for people who were really serious about Spanish. I started reading the book and found that it was a Bible with a bunch of little books inside.

I'd forgotten my lunch, so my friend gave me one of hers. At the beginning of each week she packed lunch for the entire week. I thought this was a great idea and decided that I should do that too so that I wouldn't forget my lunch. She also let me borrow a writing book, which I read and took notes in. Then I realized that she might not have wanted me to write in it, but it was too late because I'd written in pen. I went to return it to her and hoped she wouldn't notice.

I was in a field. I went off past some bushes to a little clearing, looking for my friend. Instead I found a couple of mice "having fun" while a third mouse looked on. There were some rabbits nearby too. I hugged one of the bunnies.

A DC (my dad?) started demanding that he get the babies. At first I thought they were mice babies, but then I realized they were kittens, and the kittens soon turned into foals. The owner of the horses also wanted the foals, so they compromised by deciding that each of them would get one. I wondered how many babies a horse had at a time. In any case, there were two running around.

One of the foals got out, so they rounded it up on horseback. A kid jumped on the foal's back and got it back into the corral, but in doing so he had injured it and it was going to die soon. I wondered who would get the foal that was still alive. Outside of the dream plot, I saw a leopard sneaking through the grass. It pounced on the second foal and ate it while the rest of us ran away.

I went down a hall and into my room. I locked the door, then hid in a side room, which looked like an elevator. I leaned against the door to hold it shut, since it didn't lock. The police broke into my room through the window, then tried to get into the side room. Eventually they convinced me to come out. Then they started going through all the people present to make sure they weren't dangerous.

Noodles
I was at my elementary school making noodles. I went off to some buildings on the side and talked with a random DC who told me about her past. I realized that she was a pedophile and ran back to the group. I tasted the noodles. They were good.

Writing down dreams
I had a false awakening and started writing down the dream I'd just had. When I woke up for real I could still remember the dream I'd been writing down, but I was too lazy to write it down for real.

I was at a ski resort going up a chair lift. The lift malfunctioned, which made it go really fast. At one point it went really close to the ground. I thought about jumping down to safety, but I didn't. Somehow I got off the lift.

My friend had won a lottery, which meant that I got a 10-minute ride on a paper airplane to Hawaii with Orlando Bloom. My friend asked if she could go instead. I didn't really mind if she went in my place, since I didn't really know Orlando Bloom, but I recognized a good opportunity. Plus she wanted it, so that automatically made it more desirable. Then my friend said that she hated Orlando Bloom...

The scene switched to the contest I had apparently won. There were single-person ships, which were either racing or fighting each other. Somehow I ended up on Bloom's ship, so he did all the work and I won the contest because of it.

Another scene change. I was at the top of the lift, looking for a bathroom. The only toilet nearby was a tube (like those in a play place at a fast food restaurant) with a mesh bottom. I started to use it, but then my aunt pointed out how gross it was.

I got ready to go to bed... That's the whole dream.

My brother had invented something that lets you talk to a person using your mind. I talked to a couple of people, but whenever I did that they said they had to go to the bathroom. I asked my brother if it was broken. I then scoped out my new room, which was a tree trunk shared with three other people.

We were outside my house, only it was kind of different. There was a plate of different types of chips, which were being split up among different nations. There were these bright blue tortilla chips, which were apparently from some long-lost civilization.

I went and helped a little girl get onto her bike, adjusting the seat and stuff. I think I'd let her fall off before, so she didn't exactly trust me. My friend's mom had more luck helping her.

There was a bit near the end where my aunt was running around wearing a very brightly colored bra on her butt.

There was a mirror wall with a hole that created a weird optical illusion. My friends and I debated whether to go through, then decided to do our project first. We each wrote some stuff down, then read it out loud.

I was on the other side of the mirror (which was sort of like an alternate reality), and Gracie (my cat) was in trouble. My mom went to rescue her. I went with her, but ended up saving Gus (my neighbor's cat) instead. On the way back he got soaked, though, which was a bit of a bummer for him.

Then I was in a writing class. We had a really strict teacher. She'd given directions, but I hadn't been listening and thus had no clue what we were supposed to be doing, so I just wrote whatever came to mind. Turns out we were supposed to be listening to some tapes in our groups to prepare for a group quiz/jeopardy game. Then I got my writing from last semester back. It had comments all over it. I thought the new teacher had written them, but then I saw that all the comments were really nice, so I thought that they must have been my teacher from last semester's old comments.
