This dream has three "segments." The first part is very fragmented, and I don't recall very much of it. The middle and end are the most detailed. I suppose that's not surprising, considering the nature of dream recall. Last night's dream also had a strong impression of the colour "dark chestnut," so I will underline it here and keep track of it. Oh, I won't include pictures every time. Just enough for flavour.


Sleep. Many of my dreams take place in places I know, like school or my "old" house. This particular dream has both. All I can remember from the beginning is that I was sitting at my desk in my English or Sociology class, I'm not sure which (it is even more difficult to tell because they happen to take place in the same classroom right after one another, and I sit in the same desk for each one).

Then I'm... somewhere. A field or park, maybe? The colouring is bright and very strange. I know that I am either in or watching a Yu-gi-oh tournament with the animated characters. Sometime during this section, I reflect on how the television show was repetitive and how the same people always made it to the final rounds of the tournament, particularly Yugi and/or his friends. Some other things happen to me, but I cannot explain them in words because they are mere flashes. I have an impression of a war or conflict.

Flash. I am in the room of my early childhood (birth-grade five), at my old desk. The desk is metal with a dark chestnut wood top, and I run my hand over its smooth surface. For some reason, I am clutching a blanket in my hand and am shaking Yu-gi-oh cards out from it.

Without any reason, I am at the bus stop I get off at after school, which is a few houses away from my "old" house. There is a pokemon battle after school, and I am the trainer controlling the Kangaskhan, which is standing in the middle of the intersection. Opposite me, on the sidewalk, is a Sandshrew, although there is no trainer in sight. I have Kangaskhan use a move, but it isn't very effective. Then, Sandshrew uses double kick, sending Kangaskhan reeling - the fighting-type move is super effective against my normal-type pokemon. In retaliation, Kangaskhan uses dig (which I don't think it can actually learn) and becomes Monty Mole from Mario Strikers: Charged. However, Sandshrew has become either a Spheal or a Jigglypuff and tries to puff away. I get in a few hits before it's gone over a fence and into someone's backyard by the park. Wake.

Well, last night's dream was (almost) delicious and featured an interesting coincidence, which I mention below.


Sleep. All I remember is being in a coffee shop. It is dark, not as though it is nighttime, but as though there aren't enough windows. In fact, I don't really remember there being any. The predominant colour is a dark chestnut brown. The walls are made of wood of the same colour, as is the L-shaped counter. Behind the counter is one of my friends from school, Helena, wearing a gray apron and a white uniform. As usual, she is smiling as she works.

I approach the counter and ask for a chocolate-dipped pretzel, as I know that they will be a foot long and delicious. Helena tells me that there are none, even though behind her I can clearly see a couple left. However, I do not press her for questions, but wait as she tells me she is in the process of making new ones. I never do eat that pretzel. Wake.


(Interesting side note: Today (May 19, 2011), one of my friends (not Helena) brought in chocolate-dipped pretzel snacks to school and shared one with me during lunch.)


Here is a picture that best represent the coffee shop from my dream (except it's dark chestnut and there are chocolate-dipped pretzels behind the counter on a rack).

Hello, everyone! I've been busy with life. Since my lucid dreaming life had not been going so well, I put it aside and now I cannot lucid dream at all. My dream's recall has degraded, and I don't keep a dream journal anymore. But I'm going to try again! I promised myself that I would. After all, it's been over five years.
