WILD

Well, I successfully counted and stayed conscious all the way into my sleep. I kept counting into the dream, all the way up to "100, I'm dreaming" and when my waking body got shaken, my dream body thought that I was still awake and gave up trying to WILD anymore. I kicked the sheets off, put on my PJs and walked to the kitchen. I stepped over the puppy barrier and found some blunts just sitting on the kitchen counter.

D followed me out and said "Oh, M left those. I think that might have spice in it and not weed, though," and then went back to bed. Curious, I took one to bed with me and smelled it. It smelled like freshly dried tobacco (which I enjoy the smell of) and, while I was bored, I split it open and took out three dried, burnt leaves. It looked like they were padded in with fiber-fill. D woke up and asked what I was doing and I said "I can't sleep." I laid down and tried to just fall asleep, having given up on WILDing and going Lucid.

Another dream was starting now and I was sitting at a bar. The bartender apologized for pissing in a glass and setting it on the counter. I asked for some water, sniffed it to make sure it was just water and took a sip. It was fine. I looked over at a nearby table and saw the split open blunt from the previous dream.

My waking eyes shot open as I realized that I missed a very long WILD opportunity. I was furious. It didn't help that Drew was behind me, breathing loudly and now I couldn't get back to sleep.

Afterwards, I popped in and out of sleep for a little while and gave up when Drew rolled over and started breathing on my ear.

Buying a Farm (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This dream was very short but it generally left me feeling a little uneasy. Drew and I were visiting a Farm that we wanted to rent out. Our only expenses were going to be gas, rent and one other thing. I can't remember what that was. We were both very pleased with the farm even though the colors outside were very muted, almost like we were in an old black and white movie. I 'remembered' that the farm was in a worse state than the 'last time' we were here in that now it had electricity and internet and that the paint inside was fresh and bright.

The farmer wasn't even happy about having his farm rented out, though. I don't remember many animals (I had a dream about this very place once in the past, I think) but I remember that they were there. I only remember one fuzzy white animal and I think it was either an alpaca (or llama, whatever) or a goat.

After the farmer made it clear that he didn't want us there by avoiding us and looking very displeased, I went outside. The details here are a little fuzzy. But I came back inside and the house was full of squatters. I only remember not being happy that they were here.

There's a gap in my dream but from here, I was in an overhead view, looking down at 'my character' like I was playing a videogame. I was looking for something in the desert (which was outside the farmhouse now) and I passed an oasis. I didn't feel the heat or the thirst. Then, it felt more like I was playing a videogame when I was viewing the 'map' from above and my 'character' turned into an icon. Next thing I knew, I really was playing a videogame. I -think- there was a celebration? I know I was trying to make my way back to the farm, though and I travelled around a mountain. The rest is a blank.

I was Bowser. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This time, I remember that Cha was in the dream and that he was a real creep. His car is supposed to be one of a kind IRL (sticker) but in the dream, there were three of them. I also remember eating a lot of ramen and driving around with Cha for a while. The other thing I remember was being bowser in this dream. Probably because my tattoo is coming up today.

I. Am. SPIDERMAN. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Goodness, I've been a man a lot in the dream's I've had lately, haven't I? This is also a pretty short entry since I don't remember much from the dream. I was still wearing my nicotine patch at the time.

The team from That Guy With The Glasses was in this dream. I recognized that I didn't know the Nostalgia Critic but for some reason, I was friends with The Spoony One, Paw Dugan and LordKat. Odd. Anyway, I also remember hopping onto the That Guy With The Glasses website and leaving a comment on one of the pages. I can't remember the details, though. After that there was a lot of travelling in a swamp with a lot of small islands. We were all in a roller-coaster that was following the bumps and dips of the hills. This part is hazy but after a pretty big chunk of missing dream, I was Spiderman and I was arguing with Mary Jane. We had a child.

After that, I don't remember anything.

Out of a slump or was I just thinking too much? (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was able to chain along last night's dream pretty much through the entire morning. I'll start at the earliest point that I remember. As a side note, I use I-Doser to help me get to sleep sometimes since, like many people, I just have trouble getting there and sleeping easily. To I put on my ear-buds, laid in bed and waited for sweet sleep. The hubby kept twitching and waking me up, though so that didn't fly for very long.

The Dream starts in space. Actually in a house that was floating through space. I had Universe Sandbox on the mind since I downloaded it off of steam and was going to play it today. I remember calling up parts that I needed but I wasn't lucid. I just thought I was playing the 'videogame' despite being in the house. I also remember being a very impatient yet powerful person and at one point I was actually playing a videogame but I'll get to that. Once I was satisfied with the house, it landed in San Diego (where the hubby is from) and from there, we explored the inside of the house (there wasn't much to see) and then we hopped into the car and explored the city for a bit. I don't remember much from this part of the dream but I do remember being back at the house and having an argument with my husband. I can't remember what we were arguing about, either. But we eventually took the car up to the beach where there was this tall cliff for people to dive into the water from. The water was very deep. I was talking with one of the girls about why it's so funny when a woman screams and dives into the water when it isn't so funny when a guy dives in. I remember explaining "When a guy dives into the water, he doesn't scream or try to make an idiot of himself. When he dives in, he plays off his mistakes like it's cool. When a woman dives in, it's hilarious because she screams when she gets scared and when she comes out of the water, she's fine. So dive." And that's basically true for the way I see it. And then there were sharks flying in the sky. They were flying towards the bay in front of us and my dream mind said "There must be a water spout nearby". Next thing I know, I turn around and there it is. I freak out and run for the car.

So the next part of my dream starts. Here, we're headed back to our cabin (which is actually our house in the waking world) and we decide to relax after our horrible experience with some racing games. My friend Daniel was there (I haven't seen him in years. He's not even on the same side of the planet as me.) and at this point of the dream, I was very irate, bordering hostile. So, when the racing game started, he was being annoyed with me and the vague things I was saying (I can't remember what) and I eventually told him that I just wanted him to shut the f* up and let me watch the start of the game.

We played a few races and, for some reason, my brain told me that there was an event or party or something that we were going to be late to if we kept playing the game. Sadly, the hubby decided that he wanted to keep playing and Daniel kept picking the events. I remember losing the game horribly but I did a great job making my custom character look identical to me. I was super skinny in the game but that was the default female body. At least that's how the game justified me not being overweight in the game. (I wear my weight very well, thank you.)

When we were done, the hubby and I ran to the end of the apartment building (it changed into an apartment, apparently) and we got into the elevator. We were in the basement and we were trying to get to the 6th floor. After that, I don't remember much.

Puppy Vision (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This time, I had three dreams but I only remembered the last. I only know about my first two dreams because I woke up after each. I forgot them nearly as soon as I opened my eyes and I didn't get the chance to write them down.

My memories of the third dream are very short and fragmented. I remember seeing the world from my puppy's perspective, visiting "Karing Kennels" which is a real animal shelter over here but it looked more like an animal sanctuary. I remember seing my friend Mina. I also remember showing Mina my fish tanks and when one of them busted, she bought me a lot of pet fish. (I've got guppy breeding on the mind.) And I remember flashing my bra at some asshole who wouldn't give me a ride and demanded to see my breasts. I told him to piss off and ended up walking. The last thing I remember is baseball and joggers. A lot of the dreamscape looked like parts of here.

Moocher? (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

At least I think I was a moocher in this dream. I do remember being a guy who looked like "The Dude" and who had a crush(?) on a female Elementary teacher. I've been a dude a lot lately. I also remember my apartment being very futuristic. I got woken up after this by Drew.

Giant Bugs. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

There are only a few things I remember here. I was talking to my sister on Skype and she was in art school. She was making masks. I also remember talking to Mina but I can't remember what about. The dogs were in it too in that Taiko barked at a green but that left a slime trail on the floor. It turned into a giant Wiggler bug, though and then another, green one appeared and it ran from me while I chased it with a shoe. Then I woke up, not feeling safe from bugs. The sounds of bugs humming and chirping outside is what probably caused that part of the dream, though.

Very briefly lucid. (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This lucid dream was pretty disappointingly short.

Lately, all of my dreams have been interrupted by my dogs, my husbands, discomfort and I can't remember my dreams very well if I'm interrupted.

Here's what I do remember. I remember trying to spin into my dream but I was already too awake by the time I started doing this. Then, I just sort of laid there until my mind wandered and fell asleep.

There are only a few parts that I remember here, too. I remember being in the kitchen were there was a problem with the gas. All of the burners were active at one point. As one was put out, another would light. After messing with the buttons for a little while, I realized that this would never happen (I spend a lot of time in the kitchen) since a lot of the flames were green, pink... colors that wouldn't happen in my kitchen. It was here that I did a reality check and read the 'power button' for the stove (which wasn't burning anymore), looked away and it said something completely different. I tried to do another check and read the time on a microwave twice. I tried to stablize while I was looking at it but I lost the dream when I got woken up by the puppy.

Scary doll. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In the fourth dream I had last night (goodness these dreams are short) I only remember a scary burlap doll at the very end, being mad at a friend Craig, going to Burger King, catching a fish in a pond and putting it in my fish tank and kids skateboarding in the BK parking lot. I remember something like a classroom that Drew and I were in and I also remember choking on some antibiotics. Even the order of the dream is a little hazy, though.

Lost and Very Naked (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was my third, final and most well-remembered dream of the three that I had last night. It's taking me so long to get to writing this one because I went out with some friends today. Sorry. D:

I was living with my family again and this time, I was living with my -entire- extended family which was sort of trippy. My dad's office was connected to the building (he's now retired). I'll get back to that. I also spent the entirety of this dream wearing nothing but my panties and I tried to cover my nudity with my hands and hair as best I could.

Anyway. In the apartment that we were all living in, one of the women was cooking in the kitchen when the gas went wild and fire started spewing out of the gas valve. It didn't take long to put it out (or much effort, really) but I did run to my sister's room to wake her up and the entire time, the fire was letting out a deafening roar. It sort of sounded like I was in a wind tunnel. I ran back into the kitchen to see that the fire was being put out and that nothing was damaged and no one hurt. I slept(?) in my dream, woke up and walked to the back window only to run into a cousin on my dad's side of the family (who doesn't really exist) and he confessed to being the reason that the fire happened. He said he tried to fix the valve after fixing it but he couldn't do it, and when he couldn't, he decided to save himself the embarassment by not telling anyone. I kept walking with him for a while and ended up walking downstairs to a beach. Here, I realized that I was naked the entire time and decided to run back to get some clothes because I didn't want to be arrested for indecent exposure. So I started to run back inside but nothing was the same. There were no stairs leading upstairs, back to the apartment. Now, it was all Air Force offices, Family rooms and an airport.

The first area I had to run through was the airport but this section was short. I only remember coming to some escalators with signs above them that said things like "Only use this escalator if you're a loud prick" or "Jump up and down like a kid if you want to break this escalator". I didn't want to go up it but decided to anyway since I might get some help here. Luckily, I did and a man who was standing off to one side gave me an old cellphone with my dad's office number on speed dial. I called him and asked him to give me directions back to the apartment but he was busy talking to someone else who was in his office.

Here, I found an Airmen who had fallen from the floor above him in a stairwell. He was surrounded by large burlap bags of soil that he was apparently carrying. I called for help and two more airmen came up. They said the guy was only hungover and gave him a hard time about it. There was blood on the back of his head and he seemed like he had alcohol poisoning.

Just then, I had a strange image flash before me of Marines in sharp uniforms, at attention. The only thing was, they were upside down, balancing on their heads and using an extra pair of boots each to support their heads. Their faces were beaten and bloody but their eyes were closed and they were smiling. This and the bloodied, dirty Airmen were both very disturbing images for me.

Afterwards, I ended up in the "Family Center" part of the building, stole an Oreo milkshake from the table at a kid's party, made it back to the beach where I started somehow (it was now noonish. Before it was early in the morning) and gave up trying to make it back to the apartment.

Out of nowhere I was wearing purple clothes that was made out of grapes and I was singing with another woman in the bushes. The singing was so terrible that I decided that I didn't want to be there anymore and then I woke up.

Gangsters (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This has nothing to do with the movies or videogame, by the way.

I remember that I was a male hitman/mercenary/whatever who was hired by the Japanese mafia to go into South America and collect some golden treasure from the Pyramid of Giza. Yes, I know it's actually in Africa.

Anyway, I also seemed to have very bad luck with the ladies since every woman I would try to take to dinner would give up and lose interest in me because every date was interrupted by a call from the 'boss man'.

I remember the point of view I was given changing into something from Call of Duty:Black Ops (which I never played) and I was holding a controller in my hand and controlling how I was aiming the gun as time slowed down to save my female companion and myself from Chinese mafia who tried to stop me in an Airport. I failed a few times but, since I got a few retries and the power to turn back time (which changed things dramatically) I was able to finally save her.

Then the rest of the dream gets a little hazy. I remember capturing the Japanese boss-man, revealing that I was actually a woman and then I woke up.

Johnny Cage? (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Tonight I had three Dreams. The first was very hazy. All I remember is that, for some reason, I was Johnny Cage and I was having sex with Sonya Blade. She got kidnapped from me, I went after her, and then I was woken up by my husband. I don't remember anything else. Both of those characters are characters from Mortal Kombat, by the way. I guess I just have MK on the mind.
