LAJ

It was brief. False awakening - woke up in my old loft and it looked different. Did reality check and then flew out the window. I didn't have much control. Conjured sort of. Wanted my dream guide or subconscious and was unsuccessful. Asked the sky to show me something spectacular - nothing. Show me something funny - nothing. Oh well, I flew around and wound up in a warehouse and wanted to take off my clothes. There were people there but they couldn't see me and I lost lucidity.

Running away on a train with some people (Mike W.) Also climbing steps. An open field tons of yellow transformer like air craft flying over head.

Met Scott M. and he was helping with my apartment building. There was Misti, Misty, and Heidi. We were in class? I was going somewhere with Scott - the house I grew up in. He put a ring on my finger - east/west marquis diamond in rose gold, with pave on the shank. The diamonds on the shank were crooked. It fit. M, M, and H were competing for his attention. Pretty. Smiles. Soft. Shower. There was a rocket ship in there somewhere.

Dream switched to after class. I saw myself on tv, where I had won a Figure Skating competition in Alabama. Heidi's dad pointed it out to me.

I was in an airplane on an unbelievably long flight. Out the window I could see space. I saw a shuttle launch and break away from the boosters. I also saw the meteor (up close) that hit russia. Kind of frightening. I pondered if I wanted to be in the space shuttle. I didn't have an answer.

Back in college driving the Miata. Had to find my dorm room. Why am I here? Anyway, my fave band is playing in town that night. There were 2 venues and I was at the wrong one. With Kellee and L. Ozzy was playing on this stage. I wanted to go to the other one - I guess Kel went with me. We drove by a demolished roller coaster over grown with moss (weird). I think we made it too late for their show, but Jules came over. Andy took Kellee away. I offered to go back to my house in Charleston. I took Jules and Fab in the miata. It was fun, but here is were things get sketchy. I must have been aware I was dreaming because I could feel myself waking up, so I would rub my hands together to keep the dream going. While I was aware that I was dreaming - I wouldn't say it was a lucid dream.

I was somewhere familiar but I couldn't quite place it. Then I was at a jewelry store looking at oval diamonds for an engagement bracelet. I was confused, who is this for? Turns out I was getting married to a woman and she wanted a bracelet instead of a ring. I didn't buy it because it was heavily included in the stones. By now, I was really confused because I remembered I am already married to a man. And here was this girl I didn't even know planning my wedding to her. Trippy.

False Awakening in my bedroom - I noticed this deep blue wall paper with a small print. It was beautiful, but not really in my bedroom so I did reality checks and realized I was still dreaming. I immediately fly through the windows and it was daylight outside. I looked over to the left I saw the Hollywood Bowl, but I didn't really want to explore that. Tried to conjure Jules. Walked into a bar and characters said he was at a place called Barstool (I forget the address). On my way over there I hop in a new corvette with Jimmy Fallon. I asked him if anyone has ever told him that he looks like Damone in Fast Times. We're driving around but never find Jules. Woke up. False awakening, reality check and fly out the windows. I appear to be flying over my grandfather's house and there were some runners coming across the swinging bridge. One was my subconscious but he wasn't cooperative and wouldn't answer my questions. Wonder why? Next time I'm going to try for a massage.

Golden Globes - Julia Roberts left me 6 dresses to choose from. They all fit really well. Red with horizontal stripes. Royal Blue, some earth tones. Oh, and a gold one. I think I went for the red. Nick was there sort of. And Barbara from high school (we ended up in her bedroom). Other than that it was all a mystery. I wasn't sure what I was doing there as I had no memory of these things the dream characters were telling me.

I could lie down, count to 3 and levitate. My brother was there. Strange house.

My house is massive. Julian built a new kitchen with tall, exposed beams, dark wood floors, and red stools. There are random people there. Julian is on a lower level and someone is asking for his autograph. He looks up at me and then signs for her. She tries to kiss him and he kind of pulls away and gestures my way. I just laughed. I entered the stairwell (like in my junior high school) and all the entrances keep changing and I can't find my way back (House of Leaves). I finally find a floor that will let me out - and I'm on the opposite side of the kitchen than where I entered. That was nightmarish and should have triggered lucidity. At one point I'm having a conversation with others about the Id, Ego, and Super Ego. I admitted to talking to my subconscious while lucid dreaming (trigger - hello??!!!!!). Nice Kitchen, though.

Somewhere up Strange Creek - an open field with a house in the corner where the woods start, next to a creek. I have my 3 cats there and I'm with Stacy (old roommate). I'm not sure what is going on, but there are storms outside and I'm worried that the cats will knock water into the space heaters. I think I'm baby sitting someone's kids. I decide I want to go to my grandparents' house. So I pick up Wellie and start walking out into the field. Wind is blowing and it is getting dark fast, so I run back to the house, still holding Wellie. I decide to try again so off we go. I see a twister on the horizon, and that triggers me to do the hand test. I can only do one hand because I'm carrying Wellie with the other one. I turn lucid and I start to fly all the while never letting go of Wellie. The field turns into a kind of a cityscape - looks like hollywood and highland. I'm asking people for J and suddenly standing in front of me. Hugs and kisses on the cheeks. Then there is an unknown woman on my lap. J gives me another kiss on the cheek and says "it's real." Felt real.

Don't remember much before turning lucid though I think there were 2 attempts. It had to do with getting in an air plane - somehow turned lucid. Had a seat to myself by the window. Looked out and there was a large plane crossing under us and it looked like a great white shark. That scared me, so I turned back from the window. I was lucid so I decided to go to the North Pole and see if I could create some kind of Santa Land. Somewhat successful. There was snow and a bunch of wilderness and the pine trees were decorated. Occasionally there would be a flying elf, but I think they turned out to be just balloons. I never saw Santa, but I ended up in a cabin in the wilderness with my family (aunts, uncles, etc). Not bad.

Rescuing kittens on the beach. Some have problems with their eyes and some are still nursing from their mother. Thinking of a way to get them trapped and fixed. We had a million dollar rental. I think the cats were swimming. Stewart? Portia? Akira?

American Horror Story in my brother's house. I'm younger - Evan is there and there is a tornado coming. Guessing I should get in the basement. The rooms keep changing. I was driving somewhere.

Ricky Martin was my makeup artist.
