non-lucid

Thursday:

Dream 1: Religious?
I decided to reread a series of books that was very popular in the dream. They looked like a mix between the Series of Unfortunate Events books and the Chronicles of Narnia books. I was reading them near a pool in the middle of nowhere in California. There were mountains and it looked like the kind of area you'd drive through on some kind of road trip within California. I was rereading the books so I could make a religion based off of them. I "read" the first of the seven (I never actually thought about the contents of the book I just remember telling someone I just finished the first book). Then I was looking for some type of white bird or something to fly overhead.

Dream 2: Hairstyles
I was in a small white room. My friend Maxx decided to french braid my hair. He was braiding it when my english teacher Nathan walked in. He said that when he french braids hair he likes to "earl" it sometimes. (I do not think there is such a thing, but in the dream it was taking a piece of hair and just wrapping it around in the middle of the braid and then continuing).

Dream 3: Ann
I was at some kind of pool party. This english teacher that some of my friends have and hate was there just walking around. I was standing with two boys in my math/chem classes Jake and Ian. Jake was telling Ian that if he looked up from his house he'd see Ann M___ (I'm not giving her full name, she's a boy in our grade's mom) because she was going to be at a Grizzly Bear concert. (In the dream this had something to do with the fact that it was supposed to be at the Hollywood Bowl and Ian lives close to the Hollywood bowl). They started laughing.

Dream 4: Tumblr for Homework Help
I was on tumblr and a girl in the grade below me named Maddie (who doesn't have a tumblr in real life) was asking how to do something in biology on her tumblr. I started responding to her even though I've never taken biology.

Friday:

Dream 1: Stuck
This one's a little foggy. I was stuck in some kind of pod thing that kept going underwater (in this pond) and then being flung into the air or something. Either I had to be in it or one of my friends so we were trading off. That is all I remember, but it was one of those dreams where it is pretty boring, pointless and annoying and it seemed to go on forever.

Saturday:

Dream 1: Paper Dresses
The whole school had some assignment to make dresses out of paper. They were due the next day. I asked where we would get the dress forms and they said they would order them tomorrow. (obviously that makes no sense because they were due that day) The assignment was to make one on a water bottle (a tiny dress) and one that was life size. I just remember that the school looked different and that my friend Siena finished hers early and was standing on the other side of the street. I also remember having to go into the P.E. office to get something.

Finally, a note. The dream I had before about project runway being inspired by top chef that ended up being slightly precognitive is eerily similar to something else. The challenge in this week's episode of Top Chef was to make a chocolate DRESS. It was Top Chef inspired by Project Runway!

Not really any dreams lately because I've been so crazily busy that I haven't even had time to lay in bed for a minute to attempt to recall any dreams. Today while taking the PSAT I did remember a little bit of my dream from last night. I also had a very vivid daydream yesterday in which I made a fireball.

Dream 1: Tongues
Well I have this thing called Tongue Thrust where when I swallow my tongue pushes on my teeth and it is pushing one of my teeth up into my gums. In the dream I was standing at my locker at school and my friend Anna walked up to me and asked why some of her teeth were growing up into her gums (all of the effected teeth were on her left side). I asked her to show me how she swallowed so I could see if it was the same problem. She swallowed kind of like a horse does if I'm remembering correctly (I can picture her swallowing and it just feels like I've seen a horse do that). Her tongue was pushing on that entire side. I told her that was the problem and she was denying it. I told her the correct way to swallow and she kept insisting that she was doing that and then swallowing in the same horse-like manner.

Fireball Daydream
I was at one of my extracurricular programs where I teach science to 6th and 7th graders after school on Wednesdays. We had forgotten to plan something for that day so I decided to make a fireball even though it wasn't really science. I threw it across the room and one of the other student teachers caught it and "put out the fire".

From 10/6
Dream 1: Flea Market/Operatic Theme Park
(I am using first names of my friends because there are so many people in this dream that it would be really confusing)
I was at some sort of mixture between a flea market and a corn field in an abandoned empty lot. I was sitting in one of the rows waiting for the guests of an unknown friend's party to arrive. It was about noon. The first people there with me were my friends Madison, Evan, and this girl I met twice Bella. There was also some other girl who was friends with Bella that doesn't really exist. Then my friend Adam walked up and everyone jumped up and started rubbing his hair because he got a new haircut. Bella and I got really annoyed with waiting so we went back to her house. It looked more like a purple hotel room. The made up girl was also with us. We were talking for a while when both of them said, "It's time you went to the bathroom and took your hair down for the party" (my hair had been in a bun). I went to the bathroom and took my hair down and it wasn't at all poofy like it usually is when it has been up for a while. I went back into the purple room and they asked where the party was going to actually occur. I looked at my phone and I had texts from my friends Hannah and Helen. They were both telling me that the birthday girl wanted to eat at this really gross and tiny hamburger place right near our school. I told Bella and the other girl that I refused to eat there. I texted Hannah and Helen back saying that I was going to find a good sushi restaurant near school so we could eat there instead. I left the hotel and started walking. I walked past our school and somehow ended up on a different street that runs in the same direction on the other side of town, even though I didn't ever turn. I looked ahead and I saw this big arch/bridge over the street. I walked through and I was at a zoo. My friend Anna was looking at the penguins. I continued walking and there was a giant rollercoaster going over me. My friend Daisy was also standing under the rollercoaster, but she was filming in my direction with a video camera. I started skipping towards her. Daisy's best friend Willa was hiding behind Daisy and started singing a high opera note.

Dream 2: Dessert Research Lab
I was some sort of waitress at this restaurant. All of the walls were covered in window, and it was in some sort of big city. Everything on the inside of the restaurant was white, and there were flowers everywhere. I walked up to one table full of elderly people. I was trying to show my boss something. I then announced, "Donuts for old people!" They were eating these weird donuts on sticks.

10/7
I have three fragments. I remembered a lot more detail but the second I got up to write them down I barely remembered them.
Dream 1: Scandal
I was at some sort of villa and this boy Jacob wanted pictures from Japan. I was offering him pictures from my trip but he really didn't want them. He kept saying that he needed some kind of scandal.
Dream 2: Dr. Liar
Someone was pretending to be a doctor, I'm not exactly sure what else happened.
Dream 3: Twin Liars
My friend and her twin brother were both lying to me about something, I don't remember what.

Today
Dream 1: Slightly surreal
I was at school but I didn't have class. It was last period and my friend Anna was in dance class and she was supposed to take me to a party after school. I was getting really impatient so I decided to take her car and drive myself to the party early. Not only was it weird because I was just taking her car, but I have never driven in my life (and I hadn't in the dream either). When I got to the party Anna was there. We decided we would go to a park in the woods that Anna said she loved to go to when she was little. It was in the woods. We were standing in a dry riverbed. There was a slide into the riverbed and then a slide down the hill (the hollywood hills) into the San Fernando Valley. We went up to the double sided slide and one of the people at the party decided to slide into the river. I started telling them not to because we had just been standing at the base of the slide and there was no water so they'd crash into the ground. They went down the slide and landed in a pool of water. The rest of the party decided to take the slide into the valley.

I have two fragments from last night and one dream. I know the dream was really long and vivid, but when I woke up I forgot it all. I only remembered it a little while ago when I was making cupcakes for my school bake sale (you'll see how it is related).

Fragment:
I was with some other girl who was wearing the same shirt as me (which happened to be the shirt I had worn yesterday).

Fragment:
I was flirting with some cute new guy at school. Then I walked to my class and my friend pointed out I was wearing my retainer. I was embarrassed.

Dream 1: A new form of Geocaching?
I had this dream that I went to the library and there was this whole section of stuff this girl in my math class was giving away. There were folders full of things, a naked barbie doll, and an easy bake oven computer game (I had it when I was little and loved it, this is why the baking reminded me of the dream) among other things. I took a couple of things. Then my other friend was in the dream. The library turned out to be the one near my house, though it looked like a library I went to in Michigan from the inside. I remember going back to the library all of the time, getting more things, writing notes, etc. I really wish I remembered more from this dream because it was really interesting.

Dream 1: Paper Party
I was at a big party thrown by someone at my school. I went upstairs in their house and began making paper. Then I went home and tried to make paper wirelessly... I found a way to make paper using my wireless router but it was malfunctioning and there were only two inch pieces.
There was a lot more detail but I can't explain it and it would be boring.

Fragment:
I was a fashion designer trying to design a good collection.

I was too busy last night with homework. I didn't have any dreams last night because of my measly three hours of sleep. I was too tired this morning to even remember that I was supposed to try and recall my dreams.

Yesterday
Dream 1: Driving
I picked up my friend Kristina from her swimming practice (IRL I don't drive and she doesn't swim). We were at a pool, she got in my car (some kind of volvo) and we were driving around just talking about random things.

Dream 2: Stressed Out
I was driving to school in my carpool but instead of my normal driver (a senior at my school) his mom was driving us. For some reason we were going the opposite direction of the school and we were on the freeway (which is not necessary to get to school). Then I got a frantic call from my mom that my dad was missing. She also told me that I forgot to do most of my history paper and she emailed me a copy of a worksheet I was supposed to base it on. I tried opening the file on my blackberry and it wouldn't work because the file was saved as .x (I find this funny because I have a problem with being unable to open .docx files and doc x sounds like dot x). I seemed to be stressing about finishing my entire paper in my one study hall period way more than I was stressing about my dad being missing. Then my carpool pulled to the side of the road and I got in my dad's car. He was driving us in the correct direction but went way too far past my school. I feel like there was more but I don't remember.

Dream 3: Jewish Holidays
A little background info: I go to a secular (non-religious) school that happens to be about 85% jewish. I am not jewish.
It was a jewish holiday (I think in the dream I was saying Yom Kippur but the holiday was clearly a different one, I just don't know which/if it was even a real holiday) and I was going to school. My mom had made me a ham sandwich that morning for lunch. As I was reaching out to grab it to put it into my bag, I realized it might be a little insensitive to be eating ham on a jewish holiday (a note: barely any of the jewish people at my school keep kosher). I took out the ham and cut it into little bite sized pieces and put them into the sandwich (I have no idea how this helped at all).

Fragment:
I was commenting on the fact that no matter how hard I try I cannot get rid of the acne on my chin/the second it clears up new pimples appear and no medicine helps. (though this is pretty much true, it hasn't been true lately, I have clear skin. I don't know where this came from, I haven't had to worry about it at all lately. I just have a clear image in my mind of my chin in the dream)

Last night when I got home I was way too tired to post my dreams, but I did have two and I still remember them. I will post those plus my two dreams from last night now. I don't know if it actually is the CD I've been falling asleep to that has been allowing me to remember dreams on school days or if it's just a coincidence but I am definitely happy about it!

Yesterday
Dream 1: A train
I was on a train in Japan with a Korean girl in my grade at school that I am not really friends with. The train looked more like a bus than a train. Although we were already on the train we were just then deciding where we were going. I wanted to go to Korea but for some reason I thought it would be weird to say that because she was Korean (though that makes no sense) and I didn't seem to realize that it is impossible to take a train from Japan to Korea. My second choice was Osaka but I could not remember the name Osaka for the life of me. I thought it started with a D so I just sat there trying to remember what it was called.

Dream 2: A "normal" school day
I was in history class and my friend Jacob gave me a piece of 5 Gum. Then the class ended and we walked to our lockers. This boy who is on the track team started talking to me about how he got new socks that had actual gold woven into them and how they made him super fast.

Today
Dream 1: Who left me home alone?
I was home alone. The first thing I remember from the dream is everyone leaving a party I had while my parents were gone. I just hung out in my house for a while (it was daytime) and then my friend came with me to go buy a car. The place we were buying a car looked like a mix between a platform in a subway station and Tony Stark's garage in Iron Man. Apparently I purchased a new car. Then I was at home. Then my mom got home and everything was normal for a while. All of a sudden my mom comes out and starts yelling at me for drinking. Apparently I had left some sort of clear alcohol (for some reason I think it was coconut rum) in a glass just sitting on the table and my mom had taken a sip.
(I wrote out some notes when I woke up for a second and it mentions my English teacher's name but now I do not remember what his role in my dream was)

Dream 2: Untitled
I was walking with two of my friends. One of them is pretty but no one ever says anything about her, and the other is the girl that guys go CRAZY over. We were going to the movies but then we decided to go to a bike store instead. We ran into three average looking boys in our grade, one of which I happen to have a crush on. We were looking at these bikes that had some sort of Japanese print on them, one was a blue-turquoise color and the other was red. I really loved the red one. The boys then said to us, "Hey, we'll buy you that bike because you're so cute." My friend that all of the guys love just said, "Oh, thank you so much!" because she was so full of herself and assumed he was talking to her. They just said, "No, we meant Jessie." It made me feel really good about myself (but now makes me feel like my subconscious is narcissistic). Then I somehow got in some accident (while walking, not on the bike). When I "woke up" I had apparently had my arm amputated because my shadow showed me with only an arm up to my elbow. I freaked out and said "I'm a guitar player! What will I do?" When I looked down my arm was there, but my fingers on my left hand had all been cut until halfway through the nail, yet had already healed. I felt better.

Sorry if they make no sense gramatically but I'm not really in the mood to edit these.

I think I've found something. I only have a fragment of my dream from last night but the rest is "on the tip of my tongue", which doesn't really fit here, but it has the same feeling.

Dream 1: A fleeting memory
I only have one image left in my mind from this dream, and I can't really explain it. I do know it involved a boy from my english class and one of the girls from the dream last night. I have this feeling that it might have had something to do with a boat or a rollercoaster but I'm not sure. I can also slightly picture a room that we were in.

So I very rarely have dreams on a normal school night, I just don't get enough sleep to be rested enough to remember my dreams. Until now I thought the only way to combat this was to go to bed around 9, which I doubt will happen again for the rest of the school year considering my workload. This was until last night... I had a dream and I remember a large chunk of it pretty well. I stayed up quite late last night and I was stressed so it can't have anything to do with being well rested. Then it hit me what was different about last night. I was listing to music! I always need some sort of background noise so I'm always playing some sort of "meditation" music when I'm falling asleep, but yesterday I listened to this rather sad and calm mix CD I had made. That is the only thing I could think of effecting me, lyrics. I'm not sure if this would make any difference at all, and one night isn't enough of a test for sure, but it might help. Needless to say, I'm listening to the CD again tonight.

Dream 1: Woodshop + Tumblr + Party?
There were three sections to this dream, and I have no idea what order they went in because they weren't really cohesive. I'll just post the parts in seperate paragraphs.

-I was with two girls that I am okay friends with (in real life they kind of hate each other, or just mutually dislike). They were kneeling next to a bed on opposite sides in a purple room. They each had pieces of wood about the size of a paperback book in front of them. I think they were supposed to be decorating them but they were both very plain, if not completly plain. These weren't supposed to be art though, they had some purpose. There were other people making these too, also kneeling against the bed, about 15 people in total (it was a really long bed). I walked into what felt like a class and the "teacher" (who was standing in the middle of the bed pacing back and forth) told me I would have to catch up.

-The same two friends were on the website tumblr making a blog (this segment of the dream will make more sense if you are familiar with tumblr). I asked if I could reblog photos with them. They said no. I walked over to these two boys I'm friends with (I have no idea where we were). They said I could post on tumblr with them.
(this shows how totally and embarassingly I am addicted to tumblr)

-I was at a party with one of the girls from the other dreams and both of the boys. We were outside on some sort of patio and there were lights strung between the trees. The boys had one glass bottle between the two of them and I had a glass bottle that looked identical. The bottles looked like the kind you would fill with colored sand and closed with corks. They were both filled with a clear (possibly slightly pink tinted, probably alcoholic) liquid. I asked them if they wanted to mix them even though they were the same thing. They said no. Then the two boys started talking about some game like World of Warcraft.

I was expecting to dream chain this morning and I even woke up from a dream and stayed still with my eyes closed, but I waited for over 5 minutes with no indication of SP or anything, so I gave up. I don't think I was tired enough. I do have two dreams to share with you!

Dream 1: Who wants some pizza?
I was at school, and I can picture exactly where I was standing and exactly the way everything looked because it looked exactly like my school actually looks, down to every detail. I won't sit here describing my school for you though. I was standing at a table with my really close friend and two senior girls I've never really spoken to. We had about 6 pizzas from California Pizza Kitchen, 5 of them were cheese and one was veggie. We were trying to sell them for some cause. We also had a ton of candy we were selling. All of a sudden I ate 4 pieces of cheese pizza, and I paid a quarter for each one. Then I tried to buy a veggie one but as I reached for the piece I wanted, an African-American lady that seemed like she was a parent or teacher walked up and took the piece I wanted. The only one left barely had any toppings on it. I remember taking a mushroom that had fallen off another slice and putting it on mine and eating it. That was the whole dream. I find it odd considering I can only eat about 2 slices of pizza at once.

Dream 2: Project Runway/Top Chef
I was in a show that was a combination of Top Chef and Project Runway. That is, it was a show where there were designers who designed things based on food. I wasn't actually a contestant, it was as if I was just watching it, but in person. The challenge was to create a pair of shoes (why would clothing designers be making shoes?) based on button candy. One of the designers were making these really ugly shoes in this shade of purple which I find really ugly (and isn't related to button candy at all).

So this is what I should have posted yesterday but I was too busy to do. I actually don't really remember the dream at all anymore but I have my small amount of notes, therefore what I say may not actually be what happened.

Dream 1: PAARTYY!
I was at a party and people were taking embarrassing photos of me. Then these two boys in my grade got in a water balloon fight. The dream was really long and pretty detailed, I just don't remember it now.

So I went to bed at 9 o'clock last night and it was exactly what I needed. I remember a fragment of one a dream and a large amount of another. I also feel so much better. Sadly that was pretty much a one time only thing, I don't even understand how I had so little homework. Tonight I have a ton of studying to do so I will not be going to bed early. I would also like to say that I am keeping a DJ every day, but tomorrow I will not be home at all. I'm going to write my dream down at school in the morning but I cannot post it online until Saturday. Now, on to the main event!

Dream 1: ???
I was with my friend Jacob.

Dream 2: Alone at His House
I was at my friend Maxx's house, though it looked like a mix between his house and the house from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and we were in the kitchen. His mom walked in and she looked nothing like his mom (she was really tall and blonde, his real mom is 4'10 and has black hair). She took a box of something out of a cabinet and then left. A bunch of 17 year old boys showed up and we ended up hanging out with them. Then we weren't (I don't know what happened). All of a sudden I was just alone in Maxx's kitchen. He was gone and his parents were gone too. I just sat on the computer for a while, shopping for bikinis. Then his mom came downstairs (even though she hadn't been home) and started yelling at me for staying up too late (the sun was just setting). For some reason I just slumped in a corner hugging the laptop close to my body.

Not very interesting but better than no dream at all. I know there was a lot more to the dream because I felt like it was really long when I woke up, I just don't remember the parts in between.

Before I get to the actual dream part, I have realized something about my dream. I only dream about people I'm friend with but not that close with unless it is a dream about a big group of people. I don't know why, but it is only people that I'm not that close with. The friends in both of my dreams yesterday, and my dream I will be posting right now are all my friends, but mostly at school or in group situations. Just an observation.

I only remembered one dream most likely because of waking up at 6 instead of 11. On weekends I naturally dream chain, but never lucidly. I just wake up about ever hour or so and end up remembering more dreams.

Dream 1: Pillows and an Orange Sauce
I was video chatting with this girl in my grade (who I was actually supposed to video chat with last night and didn't end up doing) and then she invited me to her house. All of a sudden I was at her house. Her walls were this dark shade of bright blue and the carpet was light grey. There was a navy plaid pillow sitting on the floor near the door with her 17 inch old (circa 2007) macbook pro (yes I know the model of her dream computer) sitting on top of it open to a video chat screen with just her picture on it. There was no bed in the room, just various pillows sprinkled around the room like islands in a sea. There was a flat screen TV on the wall to the left of the door, and the wall directly in front of you when you walked in was 90% window (or sliding glass door to a patio). The room looked very similar to my friend's older brother's room. Some random other girl was there too. I remember jumping over a bunch of pillows for some game or dance and then ordering chinese food. Then all of a sudden there was this orange sweet and sour sauce all over one of the pillows. Then this boy in my class that I kind of like showed up on the patio. We let him in and he just starts pointing at the sweet and sour sauce saying, "it's on the pillow!"

I remember two short dreams from last night, which I guess is pretty good, but I don't think my recall is anywhere good enough to be able to remember the things I would want to do in LDs. I used to have pretty good recall and then summer messed it all up, so hopefully I can refresh myself quickly.

Dream 1: A Tornado
I just now realized I was reading this post by WakingNomad soon before I went to sleep and I'm 100% sure that's where this dream came from.
I was in a car with my mom driving on a curvy road through a dense forest much like you would see in a car commercial. We finally arrived at a beach. There was a big group of people I didn't know there (I often see people I don't know in real life in dreams, but recognize them as generic "friends". These people were generic strangers) as if I was getting dropped of at camp or something. We stood on the beach for a while and then the sky turned greyish yellow.
All of a sudden my mom and I were standing outside a log cabin. We walked in and from the inside it looked exactly like a normal room (no logs or anything). The walls were color changing (white to blue to yellow) and there were a bunch of windows in the room but I don't remember much else about the inside. My mom and I spent a long time looking out the windows amazed at what was happening. There was a storm outside but there was no rain and no thunder. There were clouds and a strange constant sizzling sound coming from the sky. The sky then lit up light a nightlight and a giant grey tornado began moving towards us. My mom said "Hey! Let's get the trashcan!" We ran down a long grey flight of stairs that wasn't there before until we reached a giant trashcan (about 4 times the size of a normal one). I can't remember anything else.

Dream 2: Stationary Store
I was in Osaka, Japan (I recognized one of the buildings) with a generic friend (or I just can't remember who it actually was) and we were standing on a street corner extremely bored. Then I saw what I thought was a Sanrio store behind me. I said something similar to, "Let's go in there, it's less boring." We walked in and it wasn't actually a sanrio store, just a generic stationary store. The lady working there wasn't Japanese either, she was Kitty from That 70s Show. I have no idea what else happened.
