non-lucid

The dream starts out with me and my family sitting on our front porch watching a house down the street burn down. Since that house actually did burn a couple years ago and was rebuilt, my reaction was "Cool, I get to watch it burn again." xD

The flames eventually caught the next house over on fire. We watched the people living there run around trying to grab anything important before it burned. As I was watching this, I noticed an orange light coming from behind me -- my house was on fire now.

We only had enough time to grab one item we wanted to save before we had to get out. Everyone grabbed an item and a cat (we have too many cats ) and ran out the door. Turning around, all I can say is, "Damn arsonists."

This was a good one. It felt real; I actually woke up with my heart pounding from the adrenaline.

I'm driving around town at night, just minding my own business when I hear over my CB (which apparently doubles as a police radio in my dreams) that a call just went out for a stolen vehicle with my license plate number. I see a police car behind me with the sirens on, and I consider pulling over to explain their mistake, but I decide that outrunning them would be much more fun. A "mini map" appears in the top-left hand side of my field of vision, flashing red and blue just like the one in GTA:CTW.

By the time I hit the freeway there are at least four cars following me. I accelerate towards traffic, weaving in and out of the cars - the police matching me move for move. I slam one of the police cars from the right, knocking him to the side just in time for him to crash head-on into the center divider (the crash was epic!).
The adrenaline rush wakes me up.

Two dreams last night...

1. ) Not a very long dream.
I am at my grandma's house with my mom, my sister, and someone else I don't know. I had apparently been bitten by a werewolf and was in the beginning stages of transformation with just the long teeth and ears (which made everything in the dream super loud). I had agreed in the beginning to be locked in a room in case I went "insane" but I had gotten so hungry that I couldn't stand it any more... No one was around to unlock the door so I bit into the doorknob and ripped it from the door which released the lock. My sister freaks out when she sees me and I wake up. Never had a dream with enhanced senses before...

2. Portal)
I am playing an unreleased version of Portal 2.
I load up the first level as I get sucked into the game. GLaDOS says the intro line from Portal 1 and I run towards a platform. There is a solid gold turret on the platform which has fallen over because of the weight of the gold. It says, "Please help me. Up." in the sad voice they all speak in. After putting it back on it's "feet", I portal up to the top platform and ride the elevator to the next chamber. There is a cube and button here as well as what looks like a holographic false wall. As I approach the cube to pick it up, GLaDOS says, "Cube and button based testing is arguably the most important research to be done here since the invention of magnesium. Be warned that some cubes have short-range airbourne diseases, which may, *czzzzzt*." As I approach the button with the cube, she shouts "DIE!" and drops three turrets in front of me. I run towards the holographic wall and pass through it into a holding chamber full of test subjects. Using my portal gun, we escape into a post-apocalyptic wasteland-type area, and I wake up.

This was a really long dream. Seemed like it lasted almost an hour.

It was really late. My sister was watching TV (I think an episode of Ghost Hunters) and I was playing my DS, among other things. Near the end of the dream, my mom runs down the hallway saying something happened and she needs to go somewhere... I cant remember. She left, and the TV show was almost over, so I get up and walk up stairs. I say to myself, "This would be a great time to do a WBTB.", lay down in bed, and fall asleep (gah!).

Missed opportunity.
