The FACE (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was the creepy result of a false awakening and the position of a certain painting in my room.
There is a painting of a cow on the wall opposite my bed, so I can see it when I lie on my back. This invaded my dreams.

I had a false awakening in my own bed, and I looked at the wall opposite me. I saw that the painting on my wall was not a cow as I had always imagined, but a face in disguise. When I looked at the painting when I woke up, in semi-darkness, I could see where it might me mistaken for a scary face. In the light it's just a cow, and I can no longer make out a face other than the cow's. The face had come halfway out of the painting- its nose was about 3 inches from the canvas. It looked a bit like this, only scowling more.




Even worse, it was alive. I was lying in bed and it started insulting me, telling me it had been watching me ever since the painting had been put there (over a year). It then proceeded to list off all my worst fears and telling me they were true, and laughing at me. It had a posh but gravelly English accent and a wheezy laugh/cackle.

It was truly hideous. I decided enough was enough, I'm going to burn it. I knew there was a fire in the fireplace downstairs at the minute and I planned to stuff the painting in it. To shut him up I wrapped a brown towel round the whole painting and held his face to my chest. I was kind of worried about him biting me.

Then I had another false awakening! This time the painting was actually of the pokemon Venonat.

Living in a Church (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This dream had a pretty logical and coherent plot, but no real direction or point. A good read though.

I was in some sort of underground facility. At least I thought it was a bunker or something but it turned out to be a department store with many, many floors and departments. I saw two girls from across the store, and I somehow knew I had to escape from them. I ran out to the stairs, from where I intended to go down as far as possible and hide. I had a kind of "dream memory", where I "remembered" a technique to getting down the stairs quickly.





I held on to the bannister at the top of each section of stairs and threw myself over the steps down to the next level. That way, I didn't have to waste time taking steps individually. Every single level had signs saying what could be found there, but I can't remember what a single one said. I can almost visualise the sign I was looking for (which was on the lowest floor), but couldn't tell you what it said.

I went through the door at the bottom floor and found myself in a big underground room. The ceiling was as high up as the top floor which I had just come from, and there were glass balconies and benches dotted around. The room was full of people who looked like they were preparing to go into hibernation. I got the impression it might have been coming up to Christmas, as people were selling decorations, and everybody was wrapped up in thick coats. They looked like a tribe of people who maybe live in the underground every winter. They all seemed to know each other. I passed through the room and glanced up to my left to see the two mysterious girls glaring down at me from one of the balconies. I picked up the pace and jogged through a stone archway which looked like the exit to the surface. On the way I found some strange coins in my pocket which I didn't recognise, but they seemed to be valuable because some kids ran up and asked me for one.

I can't quite remember what happened next, but something definitely did lead on from the last section to the next. I had got myself a house. It was inside a very old limestone church, which was apparently attached to my school. The walls and ground outside were the kind of white/light yellow limestone rocks you find in the South of France.




^^ Imagine that scene, but with rocky ground outside and crumblier walls. There were small spaces between the bricks in the corners, and the only entrance which worked was around the back and quite inconvenient to get to. Inside, there was quite a lot of space. My bed was in the middle of a large room, and was almost vertical for some reason. I would have had to strap myself into it to avoid slipping out the bottom. The ground inside was bare and rocky, much like the outside, and there were a few weeds. The interior layout was "open plan"- most of the walls had fallen down. The living room had a stone bench carved out of the wall with a blue matress on top as a cushion. This also doubled as a bed. The kitchen had a similar bench/bed.

Three of my friends who I hadn't seen in ages came to visit. One of them I don't really like, and I was kind of annoyed that he turned up unannounced. We ended up having a really random conversation where he told me how terrified he was of big dogs, specifically Alsatians (German Shepherd). He kept repeating "Alsatians" over and over and shuddering.

We decided to go somewhere, might have been into town, but I missed the taxi the rest of them got in, so I started to walk. It was raining heavily and I became very unstable. It was like I was drunk, stumbling around and having difficulty staying upright.

I eventually got back to my new house, where it was hot and sunny. I was with my brother for some reason. I spotted a quick way round the back of the church, through a trench with builders working on it. There was a black, barbed wire fence running along the sides of the trench, and large amounts of it on the ground. It was here that I realised I was not wearing any socks or shoes, or a t-shirt. Suddenly my brother went berzerk, and attacked me with a length of barbed wire. I fought him off, and ended up with lots of quite deep gashes in my back and chest. Strangely, there was no blood, just deep wounds. I probably should have got this dream sign... The police and ambulance arrived, and a nurse examined my wounds. I was still holding a piece of barbed wire for self defense. My brother then stepped quickly over to me and cut a gash in his own neck using my piece of wire, to try and incriminate me. I said to the police guy, "What the hell?! Tell me you saw that!" He grunted and wrote something down in his notebook.

Accidental "Almost" WILD (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed after staying up until about 4:00am playing the new Call of Duty game. My brother and I had been swapping the controller over at each death for most of the night, but I stayed up after him because I wasn't tired. When I went to bed, I found that the sound of gunfire, the rumble of helicopter guns and the clinking of bouncing grenades were ringing in my ears. Well, I say ringing, but I had the TV on low volume, so my ears weren't actually ringing, but if I listened in my head, that's all I could hear. I concentrated on these noises, which just formed up naturally. I made them more intense and I became deeply relaxed after about only 10 minutes. If the noises were actually real, they would have been roaring right now, they were all I could hear. I had a feeling of what I can only describe as "my brain vibrating", and my mind was completely and utterly blank. Then my brother handed me the controller. "Here you go," he said. "No thanks," I replied, "You have another go, I'm quite relaxed doing... wait..." I surprised myself when I remembered I was still in bed and was shocked awake. Maybe a new WILD induction technique there, "fake-hearing-induced LD" lol

Violent Storm (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Me and a few friends were staying in a caravan I used to own, except it was on top of a hotel. From the living room window, all you could see was the sea, with the beach below. It was early evening, maybe six o'clock, but the people in the carvan next to us kept telling us to keep the noise down. This went on for a while, until a huge storm brewed. The wind was so loud you could barely hear anything over it, and the rain was being blown completely horizontally. There were 20 metre high waves crashing outside. I commented to whoever was sitting beside me, "Look how strong the wind is, it's making the waves break sideways. I'm glad we're inside!" The waves were indeed breaking long-ways across the beach, and spray was getting blown away by the wind. I looked out the back window and was surprised to see a man in a hat and trenchcoat walking his dog along the street. The wind barely seemed to be affecting him.

Bin Lid Frisbee (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was across the street from my old house playing some sort of game. I had to throw the lid of an american-style garbage can into a large bucket on the front lawn of my house. The game was very long and intricate, but I can only remember this small section. I threw the bin lid in the way you would a frisbee, but when I saw that it was going to miss by miles, I pointed my finger at it (while it was in flight) and redirected it in such a way that it started to orbit the bucket. The orbit was huge and irregular. It went down to the bottom of my street and back up again, and sometimes went to the other end. I don't remember what happened next, but after some time it actually landed right inside the bucket. I told an onlooker that it had been orbiting for nearly half an hour. I was very pleased with myself.

Ballroom Dancing (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This either a fragment of a dream or just a really short dream. I'm inclined to think the latter, as anything small I remember of a dream ususally leads me to remember a bit more than what I've got here.

I was in the ballroom of a giant cruise ship. It was ornately decorated, and there was a fountain in the middle. Two or three people were dancing in an old-fashioned way to some classical music. I was with a girl who wanted to dance with me, but I kept refusing. In real life my dancing amounts to little more than getting wasted and bobbing around to the beat of the music. I thought this probably wouldn't cut it. However, she managed to persuade me and we started to dance. I was getting embarrassed because I was hopeless, but I suddenly gained confidence out of nowhere and was ballroom dancing like a master in a few seconds. I might have been aware it was a dream and that would have been the thing that gave me confidence, but I can't remember.

"I am Iron Man" (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I only remembered that this dream existed at all when I was typing up the previous one. It's strange to think that we probably have lots of great dreams that disappear into the void when we don't remember them. Seems like a real waste. Anyway, just glad I saved this one!

I was being held prisoner in a bunker-turned-prison, much like in the Ironman movie- except better lit. At the start of the dream, I had already built the suit and was commencing my escape. I busted down the thick steel door and about ten guards came running at me. However, in the dust that was kicked up by the door being broken, I was somehow able to sneak to the other side of them without being noticed. Once the dust settled and they saw me (with horror, I might add), I proceeded to "dish it out" on my captors, using a combination of super-powered kicks and flying beatdowns with my forearm plates. They never stood a chance, and soon I was free.




I found myself in the main hall of what appeared to be a cathedral. I had emerged from one of the secluded doors at the back corner. The celing was very high, there might have been a dome on top. It was then that I noticed Hitler standing looking up at some artwork. I immediately knew that he was the one who was keeping me prisoner, and I resolved to piss him off before my rocket-powered blast-off to freedom. I tried to get his attention. I started off with "Yo dickhead!" But he didn't even acknowledge the noise of my voice. I decided to try a different tact. "Mein Führer!" I shouted. Hitler of course, couldn't resist, and turned right round ready to do the nazi salute. I was ready for him, and sent a marble bust his way which hit him clean in the stomach. Then I turned around and took off straight through the front pillars.

I then woke up at home. It felt like some time had passed since I escaped from Hitler. I was awoken by someone bringing me a delivery of a huge box. I ripped it open and to my surprise, there were the parts for an upgraded version of my suit inside. As I opened all the individual packets, it struck me how much this looked like a futuristic toy. The designs on the box and instructions seemed very professional and, well, market-friendly. When I put it together and got inside, I looked a lot more like Optimus Prime than Iron Man, even the colours.





I definately preferred this suit over my last one. (I never found out what happened to it) It had the ability to transform into some sort of supercar, with me in the driving seat. I tested it out in the street outside my house and found that it could hover and fly extremely fast. One time, when it was in "car mode", I pressed a button on the dashboard which was surrounded by purple neon lights. The roof closed on me and the car shot forward. I couldn't see where it was going, and it made a sound like a spaceship.

I passed out, but when I woke up, I was five hundred(ish) years in the future. It was night time, and I walked into the first building I saw. Luckily, it was full of people waiting to explain everything to me. Small blank of missing time here... I had fallen asleep in a hammock in an upstairs room of this building. The room was windowed on all sides, and was full of people. There was the atmosphere of a party having finished earlier in the night. People were standing around talking and sipping drinks, and there was a purpleish glow which was the only source of light. I got up and walked to the window. It overlooked, about half a mile below, an enormous highway 30 lanes wide, full of traffic. I was surprised that the roads were so full this early in the morning, but I remembered that I knew nothing about the future and this could be normal. There were some cars and lorries that I could clearly see were fuelled by petrol (not sure how I inferred this, maybe because they looked just like their modern-day counterparts)- but some others which were like skeletal frames of vehicles. These seemed to have no fuel tank on board, and I could only imagine that they worked by somehow absorbing power from elsewhere using the white umbrella-shaped dome on their roofs. I said to a guy next to me, "I see you haven't completely abandoned petrol then?" He smiled and nodded. I asked him how the white-umbrella vehicles were powered, but he was quite secretive. Through listening to the comments of people around the room, I deduced that they were somehow harnessing radiation which hit the earth naturally (day or night- not solar) from space and using it as power.





This is the closest vehicle in appearace that I could find to the radiation-powered vehicles from the future. Just imagine a great big white umbrella on top.

I begged the other people at the party to tell me exactly what this new power source was, but they wouldn't, because I was from the past. I said, "It's not like I'm going to go back and patent the idea, then get filthy rich, I have no interest in that!" (In actual fact, that's exactly what I intended to do lol) They still refused and I was forced to admit defeat and head back outside.When I got back to my car, I saw someone trying to steal it. I had set up a password and biometric ID scans so nobody could use it but me, but I saw that she had already changed the password. She ran for it, but I caught up to her and she told me the password without much interrogation.

I made it back to my time with no real bother and spent a long time flying up hills really fast and taking off, transforming in mid air and landing in the upright position.

Disneyland (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in some sort of water park, in what I assumed to be Disneyland. There were lots of winding and interlinking channels of quite deep water, in which people were swimming and boats were sailing. I was on one of these boats, which was being driven by Beyoncé. :S I sat in the seating area in the back while she drove from just above us. After taking off, we took a right turn to head off down the nearest channel. I thought several times the boat was going to hit one of the people swimming past, but we were lucky. A short way along, everybody on the boat jumped into the water, which had a slight current like a lazy river. I then saw that the other people from the boat were the cast of Friends. I swam over, but to my horror, realised I had no swimming shorts on. I swam quickly away round a bend, where I came to a shop. I jumped out of the water and put a towel round me and went inside.

The shop was pretty small and poorly organised. Everything was either stuffed into shelves or crammed into wicker baskets on the floor. The shopkeeper seemed a bit strange to me. He had short light-brown hair and wore glasses. I got the feeling from him that something wasn't right. I wandered round the shop, and suddenly became very dizzy, like I was drunk. I would walk from one wall to another, and if I encountered another person on the way, I would fall past them onto the nearest surface that could support my weight. This could be a shelf, wall or fridge of drinks. The guy at the counter looked at me suspiciously. I finally got the balls to go up and ask him whether he sold swimming shorts. He told me he did and pointed at a wicker basket on the floor. I was disappointed to find that they weren't quite swimming shorts. They were made of a rough material and were pretty flimsy.

Right here in my dream I had a strange psychic experience, which ended up being totally pointless. I only wonder why it was in my dream at all! I looked at the price on the shorts and thought, "I bet it's something ridiculous like 90 dollars..." Just then, an ad was finishing on the radio, which said, "...now only 90 dollars!" I thought this was strange but thought no more of it. When I found the price it was in fact $40. I asked the shopkeeper if I could try them on and he said, "We don't do that." I was getting annoyed with this guy and it was getting dark outside so I just bought them and left through the back door so as not to waste any more time.

Out the back was a hill. The back of the shop was at the top, and I could see down the hill for miles, until where it turned into forest. There were numerous bumps in the hill and a train track wound up it. Suddenly, people started running past me down the hill, shouting that Voldemort was coming. I thought this was unlikely but didnt want to chance it so I took off after them. The sky suddenly went completely dark, with a greenish tinge. I found I could run very fast indeed downhill, and was soon at the front of everyone else. I paused to look back at the shop, where I saw two black smoke trails crash downwards into the shop in a "V" formation. The shop collapsed, and most of the people I was with screamed. (I wish I could have become lucid here, then gone back and opened up a can of whoopass.) We kept on running, and tried to stay out of the line of sight from the shop by keeping to the right and putting trees and the corners of buildings between us. We had to avoid trains which were now coming up the hill frequently. They were the kind of small trains you would see in a theme park, which are used to give tours, except they were loaded up with supplies of some kind. I found I was able to jump through the gaps in the carriges and keep my speed up, so that's what I did as often as possible.

We ran right up to the forest, where we found a river. I wasn't wide or deep, but very mossy on both sides, so it was difficult to see where the drop was. When I got over, I looked to my right, and saw about 15 of what I can only describe as "vine men", advancing on me. They looked very manacing, but some intuition told me that they weren't looking for a fight. I listened carefully and could hear music playing. Then I noticed that the vine men were actually dancing in time to it. I took up the dance as well, and they seemed a lot happier.


The last I can remember of this dream is falling asleep in the forest.

Invasion (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The first thing I remember is watching a kind of cutscene where the Earth was being invaded by an alien army. There were thousands of different kinds of troops suddenly on the ground- men in armour, monsters, spiders the size of skyscrapers, giant floating octopuses and what looked like a blue lantern fish, also enormous. The human-looking men in armour were very close in appearance to the Necromonger army from the movie "The Chronicles of Riddick".



In this cutscene, the (very diverse) army arrived on earth, immediately overwhelmed any resistance and burrowed down to the centre of the earth where they set up a base. All the huge floating monsters guarded the hole and would occasionally emerge to attack the surface. The alien base was a huge underground hollow with a pillar in the middle. The interior of this pillar served as an HQ.

I was on a motorbike being chased by enemy soldiers, also on bikes. The path I took was through a ruined city. Everything was crumbling and the ground was basically thick ash. Every so often some kind of flying bat creature would dive bomb me and I would have to leap backwards off the bike and be dragged along behind it. It got me covered in dirt but I avoided the flying thing.

I reached a tall and intact building on a street corner where I found a few guys hiding out. The enemy army surrounded us and demanded that I come outside. I walked out to meet them, and to my surprise, the enemy leader took off his helmet and approached me. I can't remember what we talked about, but it turned out that all the enemy soldiers were slaves to one person, who was now in residence at the centre of the Earth. I found out that even the giant blue floating lantern fish (which looked shit-scary), was actually called Nigel, and didn't like being the only enormous lantern fish in the army.

The rest of this dream is a bit of a blur, but I think it might have made a good movie!

Fragments (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

My recall was pure terrible today. I lay the blame on my weekend away, which basically amounted to a sleepless binge! The following dream fragments are what I can remember from when I slept most of the evening after coming home.



I was crouching under a small arch or bridge, which looked a lot like a certain level in Halo 3. I had a pet mouse with me which I could command to do whatever I wanted. It kept making its way around in a big circle around me until I called it over. Eventually I lost it because it was so small.

Memory blank

I was in some sort of race down a massively tall, snowy mountain with three other guys. There was a blizzard on and visibility was poor. I managed to get a lead on the others by launching myself off ledges and landing on ones below. The depth of the snow cushioned my landing each time.
I think a white cat featured in this dream somehow... Can't place it though!

Strange Bus Journey (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was back at my old high school, and a guy I used to know was giving me a piggy-back down to the bus park at a dangerous pace! He tripped over something and fell on his face, sending me rolling away. I got up to wait for my bus home to reverse into position. I was behind a blue railing at the back of the bus's parking space. When it finished reversing and stopped, I suddenly found myself sitting in the back seat. I couldn't understand how this happened without my knowlege, had I walked onto the bus on autopilot, or had I been teleported? This did actually happen one time, I couldn't figure it out! I probably should have recognised this as a sign that I was dreaming, but no luck! I even walked up to the front to try and pay the driver, but she only spoke chinese and I couldn't understand what she was saying.

I became really drowsy on the bus ride, and kept jumping to alertness not knowing where we were. I eventually got off at a place I vaguely recognised, and spotted my two best friends cleaning a car. We all went into a newsagents- which doubled as a hair salon.

The rest of the dream is a massive blur, but I started working in the shop until late at night. I ate lots of sweets.

Maths Test, Rod Stewart Concert (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in a maths class I haven't been in for years, doing a very simple maths test. I knew there was something cool going on in the main hall and I wanted to get done quickly to go see what it was. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep track of what I was doing. My attention span dropped to zero and I kept getting distracted by talking to the people around me. A girl across the room was having the same problem as me, and every time she realised she'd screwed up she would yell some profanity like she had tourette's syndrome. When the bell rang, I was frustrated to be kept behind by the teacher, who wanted to talk to me about getting distracted so easily.

When I eventually escaped the classroom, I headed straight down to the hall. On the way I met a few of my old classmates, who seemed to be stage hands, carrying props to and from the hall. They all told me, "It's awesome, get down there!" So I doubled my pace and got to the back door of the hall. I threw it open and was disappointed to discover that a Rod Stewart concert was in full swing. (Apparently he's still got it! lol) Not being (in any way) a Rod Stewart fan myself, I was surprised to find myself actually enjoying the performance.

Morning After a Party (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was stepping out the doors of a university with a group of five friends. We were discussing a party that had taken place the night before, somewhere on the outskirts of the institution. All I could see, up to the treeline in the distance, was a trail of rubbish, clothes and empty bottles, loosely following a winding white path through a green field. We walked along this path, and on the way I found my mobile phone and, to my delight, my jeans! It was only then that I realised I had been walking around all morning in my boxers.

Not much else of this one I can remember...

Stupid TV Show People (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

My recall wasn't the best this morning because I had to get up earlier than I planned.

I was in a friend's house which had three floors and seemed to have been built by hand, in stages. I was on the second floor, and looking in a basket full of old DVD's and videos when I found something that caught my eye. It was a VHS tape of an American sitcom and it looked really stupid and lame. Three people were on the front of the cover, a hot redhead, a stupid-looking guy and what appeared to be a butler, with huge bushy eyebrows. There was a knock at the door and I slid down the bannister to the ground floor. I saw two people were already answering the door to the redhead girl off the front of the VHS cover! I thought I'd introduce myself so I hopped down the last five or so stairs holding out my hand. She missed my hand and accidentally grabbed my crotch. We thought it was pretty funny and she invited everyone out to play frisbee in the back garden.

The back garden was enormous, and on the side it connected to the house there was a 6m hill which might once have been a rockery but got overgrown. When we got round the back, the other two guys from the cover were there, except the butler looked like a normal guy with grey hair. The other guy kept putting fake bushy eyebrows on him and laughing, saying, "Look, he's the butler beast! Hahahah!" One of my friends turned to me and said, "How is that even funny?" I said, "Must be off the show." We played frisbee for a while, and I pulled off some amazing moves to catch it, even inches from where the two guys had left their glasses of red wine.

Bus Crash (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This isn't really a seperate dream from "Misty Mountains", as it continued uninterrupted, but the whole story is quite long and this part is totally different.

The flying coach landed in a town on the North coast of Northern Ireland where I used to have a caravan, transforming into a standard coach as it descended. It drove into the campsite, to the caravan I used to own. To my surprise, my family was there, and so was my friend Darren. This time it was definately him, not like the last dream where I wasn't sure. I was exhausted from all the travelling, but the only bed available was a double bed in a room at the back end of the caravan, that Darren was already sleeping in. I was so tired I didn't care and flopped down to sleep. When I woke up, Darren was gone, and an enormous African man was just setttling down in his place. I said, "Who the absolute fuck are you?!?" He responded to tell me that this caravan was free for the use of anybody, and showed me his "ID poster". -This was a fold-out poster (which it seemed natural that everybody had :S) containing information about a person's appearance, nationality, marital status etc. I was shocked to see, beside "Occupation", the words "Large Rapist"! Needless to say, I shot out of bed and ran down to the living room, where I confronted the guy who was obviously running the place. He accompanied me back to the end room to examine the man's ID poster. He said, "This doesn't say rapist!" And sure enough, when I looked, it in fact said, "Huge Ravist". I had no idea what the hell a ravist was, and looked it up when I woke up. According to urbandictionary, it is: "A new political party. It is the Rave party. It is more fun than the Conservative party, and more socially acceptable than the Neonazi party." At the time, in my dream, I thought it was some kind of farmer, but I stand corrected! I still didn't go back to sleep, I just apologised to the guy and walked outside. (I was still 100% sure it had said "Rapist", and he'd changed it).

When I stepped outside, the weather had changed dramatically. It was now hot and humid. The sun was bright, and I started to feel like I was in Florida or somewhere. I went over to two of my friends, Mark and Craig, who were lying on sun loungers. There was now clear blue water lapping up beside the caravan for some reason, and I suggested to them that we go fishing. Craig said, "Nah, only the pro's fish here, but look at that!" He pointed to a killer whale about 30ft away, swiming past. (The water had risen considerably) Craig swam out to it, and I tried to watch. I noticed I was wearing sunglasses, and conveniently they acted as goggles when I went underwater. The whale swam into the caravan's garden, which was now underwater, then leapt up in the air and smacked down causing a massive wave. It started to thrash about, sending the rising water everywhere. Me and several others jumped onto the coach to shelter, but couldn't get the doors closed because the water had broken the electrics. The water was now chest-high inside the coach.

I saw that there was a double-decker bus parked nearby which I swam to and got on board. To my surprise, it was filled with about 60 of my former schoolmates, who were sheltering on the top level. The bottom level was full of water, which was now getting foamy because the whale was still thrashing around. I forced the doors closed, and the bus began to float. It floated to the top of a hill -the water had not reached the other side of this hill. The bus then started rolling down a busy road at high speed, gushing water at it went and knocking cars out of the way. I saw that up ahead was a busy intersection which was familiar to me. I became slightly lucid here, probably because this was so unbelievable -and great fun! Everybody else was screaming in terror and I just laughed. As the bus picked up speed, rolling towards the intersection, I knew this was going to be spectacular. As I would often do in situations like this, I whipped out my phone and started recording. -It didn't occur to me at all that this wouldn't last! I quickly searched my head for an "appropriately triumphant exclamation" to yell when the big crash happened, and for some reason opted for "BOOM HEADSHOT!!" Don't ask me why, it came out of nowhere! Right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olm7xC-gBMY#t=0:15

Enjoy! Somebody shouted "Heads down, chins up!", which made just as little sense. The devastation caused was unbelievable. There were cars thrown for hundreds of metres, trees uprooted and water everywhere. It was great fun seeing the shocked expressions of all the DCs.

The rest of the dream was the aftermath of the crash. A huge deal was made out of the fact that somebody cut their hand.
