I had agreed to do the voice recording thing with Tobias. But the thing was, I wasn't here recording it over the net, I was there in Sweden xD He said "hey come over here, how about we record this one?". So I went and sat next to him and watched the video he had pointed out to me. I thought that it was a nice choice because it had both English and Swedish subtitles. Near the end the dialogue sounded like French or Italian, and so I got confused.

I walked away from that, and for some reason I was looking to find something to take a photograph of for him.
I was walking along, and I passed this woman. She was blond and looked like she was in her late 40s. She was one of those types that was wearing make up to try and look young, but I guess it somehow just enhanced her wrinkles. She was wearing medical nursing scrubs, but I think they were pink. So it looked like a pink tracksuit.
She told me in plain English "If you want to get a job here, you should become a foster carer. There are plenty of jobs for that here." I have no idea how true this is lol.
Firstly, even though she said foster carer, she meant a carer for old people, in nursing homes. Secondly, I thought to myself how I'd need to speak pretty good Swedish for that, because all the old people won't really be speaking much English (or so I assume).

I came across this grassy field and there was a tall building with a slogan on its side. I thought that the slogan was pretty cool, but then when I noticed that it was an advertisement for Target I decided against taking a photo of it. It was an Australian ad. Maybe I was back in Australia?

There was some part where I was in the city. The people were much unfriendlier there.

There was another part with my brother. I think we were in Taiwan; there was some Chinese guy.
Oh yeah, we boarded a train. Except this train was really weird, but really cool. It was like some sort of showground ride, but not intense at all. It would follow this weird track set, which would go on circles and twist and turn and stuff. It was awesome fun. There was a man that was pulling us along and twisting the route and stuff. He was doing it with a rope attached to a pulley that was attached to the train carriage. He was Chinese. I think I remember thinking to myself how dodgy this is.
For some reason there were eggs, and I was trying to show my brother the eggs. It is too blurry for me to remember xP

There was a building with three levels. They were connected with escalators and it was like a library somehow.
There was this guy, Paul (screw using initials for names anymore), a friend of Daniel's. He was hoping to lucid dream. The thing is though, he was about to go to bed and asked to have a porn magazine, because he wanted to look at it before he went to sleep so that he could wake up and have lucid sex with one of the girls in the magazine, lololol wtf xD

I was in the Australian bush somewhere, there were wide flat rocks with trees and we were elvated a decent amount above ground level.
I was on holidays with two guys and two girls. We were going to leave the girl there to do something. I think we had bikes, as well.
Somehow I was making this Indian brown curry, and I was looking at what to do and I was fairly confused about some of the steps. I had to make this third sauce (I'd already made two) and one was to be made out of the "simple sauce". Either the recipe or my sister said that "It should be obvious which one is the simple sauce. It is this one because you can leave it aside to cook whilst you do other things." This recipe wasn't by my sister because she had adapted it from somewhere else. I think I was checking my facebook and I got it from her there, and then I was also posting about it there.
The people I was on holidays with this Indian guy I have on facebook kept on asking me questions about it, even though I was as clueless as them, because it wasn't my recipe and I was starting to get annoyed about this.

And then zaga and elwebbaro were also there on facebook. I couldn't find him before because this time he spelt his nick as elwebaro instead of elwebbaro. SClause was there on the streets, but Dom wasn't. I guess it was France and Sweden and Australia all at the same time.
Suddenly I was there and in a month they were going to have a performance so I went to the preview for it. The street looked like St. George's Terrace, and the performance place was on the left if you were looking in a westerly direction.
It was a solo act, with a guy with a guitar singing stuff in French. And then after the performance someone was talking about how to get into the venue; the security devices and stuff.
These security devices have some great features. It used to be that you just gave them your drivers license or whatever, but these days they had eye scanners and face scanners to see if it really is you in the driver's license photo. And there was one device they recently installed where men could see "IF THEY'RE WEARING A GREAT PAIR OF WHAT YOU WANT", and although at this point it was showing a picture of these saucy, knee-length boots, I'm pretty sure it was talking about breasts . And for the most recent installation which is the most controversial of them all, you can see if they have recently committed suicide or not! Lol o_O

Ah I just remembered some fragments of my dream.
BF was reading something when he suddenly told me that he loved me. :/ Especially now that we'd been hanging out more, LANing and whatnot. I think I told him that nothing could ever happen between us because I did not like him back in that way.
Take note that he did actually like me back in 2007, but I am pretty sure that he wouldn't like me now.

I was cleaning some seats. One was a toilet seat for a toilet that I had been using. I used a squirt of some detergent stuff from a spray bottle and wiped it up with a cloth. It hadn't been long since I washed the toilet seat last.
And then I proceeded to wash the car seats in my mum's car. I was driving it for some reason. But it was larger than usual. All the seats and dashboard and stuff were quite spaced out. I didn't end up cleaning it properly, and there were still some crumbs and stuff left on the passenger seat. Or on my seat, I don't quite remember whose.

So I was driving around and stuff. I think there was a large factory somewhere. I can't remember much else.

Edit: After I woke up I started falling back asleep, and managed to plunge into sleep paralysis. Unfortunately about one second after this, someone knocked on my door to talk to me >_>
Lol annoying xP

I was out in the ocean with a bunch of my friends. They were visiting me for the first time in Australia and they were all from a different country. I don't know who they were, only that they were my only friends
We were snorkelling for a while, and I think that we were also hunting fish or something. And then one of the guys saw a shark. I was like "Holy fucking shit, it's a shark, I'd better get out of there fast! C'mon guys you better follow!"
But they didn't seem to hear me :/
And I think because it was their first time over here, they didn't realise how deadly they can be. So they kept trying to hunt it down. And there wasn't just one shark, there were a few. I swam to the boat on the edge as quick as I could. The guy in the boat was as horrified as I was.

The next thing I remember, I was inside some shed, knowing that I was going to hear some horrific news about the shark and my friends. The man from the boat poked his head around the shed door. Everyone had died
I was so devastated and I think I was crying, but I can't really remember.
I felt so lonely because they were my only friends. I also remember going to their funeral.
I should've done a reality check here.

Then there was a second part where we also went snorkelling. RH was there, and she was with KE.
I remember pretty clearly the snorkelling underwater part. I should've reality checked here too to see if I could breathe underwater. Actually, on second though maybe that's not such a good idea, because that wouldn't go down to well IRL.
There was some little kid with us and he was questioning me about the different parts of the snorkel. I told him that the mouthpiece of the snorkel mask was called "kappa" in Swedish, like the English word "coat", which I guess is wrong lol but it was correct in my dream

There was some house and it seemed to be haunted somehow.
I remember specifically this one character in my dream. He was some sort of indiekid/artfag/hipster type, wearing black skinny-leg jeans, scarf, jacket, long shirt, arty hat, shoulder bag, sunglasses, etc., as one of those types would do. Anyway, he would visit a room in this house and that indicated whether or not there were lollies in the fridge, or something like that. It didn't make any real logical sense so it is hard to explain it in my dream. My vision would always zoom into this room and see whether it was vacant or not.

We were kind of in a graveyard and digging some food out of somewhere. But at the same time, we were cooking or something... haha idk.
Hmm. I think that at first there was some food and lollies and we were cooking. But then the aforementioned hipster guy went into that room/fridge and got some chips out but didn't put them back properly. My aunties and I had to spend ages digging up all these chips because they all fell out as we opened the fridge door and putting them back into the crisper part of the fridge (wtf).
Then my aunty heard some weird noises and saw some lights or something and it was the spirit of my grandfather or grandmother. She told my uncle and he heard them too, and also saw the spirits.
After that part, I was talking to my aunty, but at this point she didn't seem to be my aunty anymore, but rather some random person. Although she still kinda had half the vibe of my aunty.
I was talking to her about my philosophy on life, and how I believed that all we really needed in life was love, and all else would follow. After discussing it a bit, my conclusion came down to not just love, but love and food, lol. I think I said love and ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate, the molecule that provides energy in the human body, hahaha biology nerd). But this isn't true, because you need more than just ATP in cells .

But anyway...

There was a tennis match on and I was watching when suddenly the ball hit a pothole in the court and so it bounced back the other way and the referee called it wrong so the players were getting really angry and worked up and then a plane fell out of the sky and split into four pieces, with one piece landing in the sea (the main bit) and a smaller bit landing on the tennis court. The tail, wings and cockpit landed somewhere else.
Mr T (the guy off the A-Team) was in the crowd, pretending to hit back all the balls somehow. He got onto the big screen that is broadcasted on TV.

TW had a really neat bedroom and was showing IE shots of it through webcam. He had brown and cream-coloured, stripey sheets on his bed (lol I think my new housemate has this), which was a double bed, with a matching lampshade.

MicroTorrent was ruining everyone's internet. Even the Barack Obama's, haha. It was some opposition leader's evil plan to ruin the internet for all.

There was some shop where we could buy stuff. I don't know what stuff though.

There was a second part where there were two airships. I was in one and the other one was our enemy. We had some magical powers like on Bleach or something similar. It was pretty epic xD We were shooting the other team with a giant, white bow that we controlled together, telekinetically. The arrows where large hollow white tubes with some sort of design. It somehow reminded me of Orihime Inoue off Bleach.
Somewhere in the ship were all these spells, perhaps in a book, and they were written in runes haha. They were making all these undead skeletons appear and that was pretty scary. They spawned from the back of both ships and were attacking everyone.
There was some way to stop them from doing it, if you were able to read the runes. I thought "oh maybe it won't be hard to learn if I know a bit of Swedish" hahaha.

Even though I was someone in one of the airships, I could somehow switch my view between the two ships and see that it was all just fancy CGI, and though to myself how true it was that anything can be done with computer animation these days, and thus the undead skeletons and stuff weren't really that cool anymore.

After this bit, there was a part with these aborigines and they were climbing up these stairs. I was climbing down because somehow I'd started up at the top. Unfortunately, they were behaving in a derelict manner and ripping all the stairs up and stuff like that.

I was planning to meet up with MB at the movies. We were going to go watch something and eat dinner and we also agreed that we'd go and rent some other movies out to watch either before or after the movie.

Then I mentioned to someone how I needed to apologise to CH, this girl that I did something mean to in year 7 IRL (I still need to do this one day if I ever see her).

At the train station on the way to the city centre to meet up with MB, there were all these photographs attached to the station platform. They were all photographs of the same thing - some random part of the station platform taken from a specific angle, but each photograph was from a different station. It was kinda cool to see all the differences between each one.

SM and MM were at the train station with me. We saw that the train was approaching, but for some reason it didn't stop at our platform. And this somehow had something to do with Africa being poor, lol. I think the platforms were named after different African cities or countries. And some of these didn't have enough money to fund the train to run to the city centre, hahaha.
As they came from Africa, SM and MM got really angry at this, mentioning something about racism. They went to complain to the woman on the platform, but she pointed them to the train warden in the little office next to the station. It was a man with a paper sign on his back and front that said TRAIN WARDEN. So unprofessional haha. They went off to complain, and I saw that there was a train in the distance approaching. I somehow knew that this train would take us to the city centre.

We boarded the train, SM and MM somehow exited my dream and I noticed that CH was on the train. I really should've gone up to her and talked and apologised to her, but instead I just did that thing where you acknowledge someone's presence by smiling at them, saying hi, and then I sat behind her.

When we arrived at the city train station, CH was walking in front of me and heading towards Baker's Delight (a bakery shop). I followed her and when we got there I THINK I offered to buy her something. I'm not sure though. I remember that there was heaps to choose from. Different slices and things like that.
Anyway, I didn't end up apologising to her :/

Shit kinda sucks when dream recollection fades as you go to type your dream out.

There's one thing that I can remember and that is this young girl. Her name was .... eurgh I can't remember and this is annoying me, because I asked for her name specifically so that I could perhaps meet her again when she was older. I recall that she did something pretty extraordinary.
She was wearing a horizontally striped long-sleeved cotton shirt.

We were in some sort of restaurant I think. Bt it was like the restaurant was in a large cavern. The tables were scattered throughout and it was lit by torch flames. (Perhaps I am just making this up, and this wasn't really part of my dream, but it's all I can think of at the moment).

There was another part of the cavern and over there was Philippines or something. I can't remember anymore >.<

In a half-arsed attempt to WILD, as I was falling asleep I caught myself in sleep paralysis. There was a scary man's voice behind me but just as I was starting to think "holy shit this is scary!" I calmed myself down and told myself that it was just part of my imagination. It was hard trying to control my mental state. I ALMOST went from the paralysis into lucid sleep, but as I felt myself transitioning it went back into sleep paralysis. And then I became aware of my breathing and lost the sleep paralysis. I just fell asleep after this.

I was giving a speech in front of a room. I went second when I really wanted to go third but the woman up the front kept insisting on me going second. Even though I kept telling her that I wasn't prepared to go second, I eventually gave in.
As expected, I was making the speech up on the spot and made many mistakes. I know that the speech went for too long and I'm pretty sure that everyone was bored by the end of it. Perhaps there were a couple that weren't.
I hadn't actually chosen the topic I was speaking about. So I thought that somewhere I might fit in the pictures of Bulbasaur before and after they'd been cacaview'd. I asked to connect my laptop to the projector, and asked my brother to stand up there at my laptop and I think he had to press H and K to change the pictures. I ended up not needing them anyway because I talked about a topic irrelevant to those pictures; I talked about people being nervous when they gave speeches, haha.

The people that I was giving the speech to...I am not sure who they were. I think the speech was in some classroom of about 30 people. Maybe I was staying in some accommodation with them all.

I'll start off by mentioning how I slept last night with pen and paper by my side, in hope that I would write down keywords of my dreams throughout the night. But instead of doing this, I dreamt that I wrote keywords down, haha. Typical

So, I was in New Zealand with some random people. AK was there and she kept leaving the shed unlocked because it no longer contained things that were of value to her. In there was just my clothes and stuff. She'd taken out her photography equipment.

Outside of this shed, we were in a group of about 10, and walked on a path around this grass courtyard thingy that had some large machine-looking apparatus that was either a furnace or a rocketship.
The boots I was wearing were made of a thin, black, fake leather and they were too big for me. So I was looking around for a peg to secure them, otherwise they would've just fallen down. Luckily the place our group walked towards had a clothesline with several blue pegs on it. There were a few different types and some were broken. I chose the best one and secured the boots.

SJ was in my group. She commented on my boots, although I recall not what she said.

So after walking around the grass courtyard and arriving at the place where the clothesline with pegs was, we were about to go to some next stage.
There were security guards preventing us though.

Then the guards stamped us one by one on our hands as to give us permission to go. They used the Bunnings (some large hardware store company) stamp that I have in my room IRL.
They had stamped my left hand but it was in a slightly inconspicuous position, so I got them to stamp my right hand. They then wrote "pipe" on it too, because all of a sudden I was apparently carrying a flute of some sort in my left hand.
Another girl they stamped decided to write "New Zealand, fuck yeah!" on her hand below the stamp.

I had a nice dream last night involving TW and computers, lol. I'm not sure exactly what we were doing, but I was asleeep in bed and TW came into the room and he was like "hey I've figured out why it's not working! The guy that I am living with in student housing showed me. And it was something to do with the fact that it was html v1.0".
He was trying to show me where "html v1.0" was written on a pencil, which was connected to a firelighter through a keychain. I was barely awake and was at that stage when I couldn't really focus on anything, and he was trying to show me the text which was really small so I was like "okay, wait a sec, my eyes are still adjusting to the light and I can't focus properly".
I was also thinking "WTH this is kind of a cool surprise visit but this is kinda funny that he is showing me this at this time. Surely he'd show me once I've already woken up?" But I wasn't annoyed or anything, just slightly amused.

There was more to the computery side of things than this. I have a feeling that it involved being connected to Pallkars using SSH, and stuff like that haha.

Then there was another bit relevant to the fact that TW had lighters on his keychain; mum was asking for my advice about lighters because we were in Philippines, and asked if the one she was getting was expensive. It was $20.50, I think, and I was like "hell yeah that's really expensive!". She was like "oh, okay" lol.

And thern there was another part where I was in the Philippines with Shaun and it was early morning, around 7.30 so I took the train to this random place and stayed there because it was slightly exciting. It was also raining pretty hard, and I had my umbrealla.

I missed the first train there, and the people watching me as I missed it were like "oh.." and had that expression of half-sympathy half-amusement on their face as you do when someone JUST missses a train. One of them was an indian woman in traditional dress.

The destination was at the top of a hill or something. I think it was some sort of campus and there was lots of student housing there. It may have led to the place where I was sleeping when TW came and saw me.

All I remember is something to do with pigs.

Actually, I remembered more but have forgotten now because I had to do some stuff as soon as I woke up so I didn't have time to write everything down straightaway :/
