non-lucid

Sleep - 11:30pm
Awake - 6:00am

I was in my car with some friends. I think it was Matt.B, Will.N, Tom.R and Ryan.B, although I can't be sure. It was cloudy but it wasn't raining. I think I had just been driving. We were parked randomly in the middle of the motorway, and my friends were jumping out of the car. They ran to the side of the road and escaped through some bushes. There was a motorway bridge about 20 yards in front of me up high. I was really annoyed and upset that my friends had ditched me and my car. I don't even know why we stopped, or why I was driving in the first place considering I haven't passed my test yet and have never driven on a motorway! The motorway was dead, and I didn't seem to be worried about other cars coming along and hitting the car. It was about 3pm.

I think I jumped out of the car and walked the same way as my friends did, before randomly appearing at some sort of family gathering that my Dad was at. I knew I had to explain myself to my Dad, but I didn't know what to say. I told him very clumsily, beating around the bush, and he got extremely angry and emotional. However, I remember being confused that he was so upset. This makes me think that maybe it was Matt's car, not mine. I'm not sure, it was all a bit hazey. He went mental at me, screaming at me in front of various other people that were on the drive way of this house. I flipped out, out of sadness and anger and all sorts of mixed emotions, and hit these thick china plates that my dad was for some reason holding, up so that they flew in the air and smashed on the ground quickly. I cried harder than I have ever cried before. It felt like the most emotionally raw moment of my life.

Suddenly, it was a website, possibly facebook. The dream turned out to be a short-film that my friend Charlotte.C had made for a series of films with her friends acting for media!! This was very odd as I thought the film was a dream, and this was reality - kind of like a false awakening! The website had a list of about 10 short films that she had made, each with a cast list of about 5, all of which I knew. I starred in a few of them, and most cast members were recurring. I thought the film was incredibly put together and captured the emotion perfectly.

This was quite a frustrating dream. When I woke up I could recall and awful lot, but I decided I was too tired (*cough*lazy*cough*) to write down what I remembered. I really should have as, as expected, a lot of my recall had gone by the morning. Oh well. But this is what I remember

I was sat on a sofa in some sort of villa, probably in the Canary Islands as usual. It was very sunny outside but the windows were shut. There was some sort of back door the left of me that was open, and light was coming through that. There was a sofa to the right of me at a right angle, my sister closest to me and my Granddad further. My parents were sat on another sofa to the left of me. We were all looking at a big flat-screen telly that was mounted onto the wall. The room was a kind of big reverse L shape, and the TV was on the bottom bit of the L. I can't remember what we were watching, but we decided to leave to go for a walk. It was obviously linked up to the computer, as I had accidentally left up xvideos.com on my browser !!! I tried to keep it cool and pretend it wasn't mine, but I wasn't very successful. I kept trying to click it off excusing myself, but an error message kept popping up preventing it from going. I got more and more flustered as it went on, and my sister started to let off the occasional giggle. My parents didn't really seem bothered although maybe a bit embarrassed, and my Grandad was just oblivious to what was going on xD The whole situation was quite similar to what has happened when I've had a website up that I didn't want someone to see and they walked in haha!

Anyway, after that shambles had finished, we decided to go for a walk. It was suddenly dark outside. I don't remember the transition between being indoors and going out. I always go for walks when my Granddad is about, so I walked with him whilst the others were behind. I can't remember where we were going or what, but we ended up in a very dark, grimey back alley of some sort of building. There was a big metal staircase thing from the metallic balcony of the building to the floor, with a small spiral at the middle. As we walked down here, I suddenly saw a strange boy I know called Connor. B. He was stood where we had just came from, and gave me his weird creepy cheeky look. He said something that suggested he was waiting for something to do with scouts (as I used to be in scouts with him). We left him again, and walked through another alleyway I think, which led us to a more normal looking suburban area. I don't know where the hell we were, it was definitely a foreign country as the architecture wasn't anything like ours in England. We walked around the wall perimeter of some sort of field. I suddenly remembered that someone had organized a big get together on that exact field. I didn't want to bring it up as I would have felt bad ditching my family as they always moan at me for going out when we're meant to be doing something. So I kept quiet as we continued to get to entrance of the park field thing. Here, over the wall, we suddenly saw masses and masses of people. It was really strange what I saw - I first saw a few people, but I also saw significantly more people suddenly appear behind them, as if they were photoshopped on or something. They were all in a huge, messy circle around the field, playing what I thought was rounders. I knew a lot of the people there and I knew the person who was organizing it, but I can't remember who it was now. I said something to my Mum like "Oh my god, I forgot *so and so* was organizing a get-together here tonight! Would you be angry if I went off to play with them?" They didn't say no, but they didn't say yes either, it seemed to be left down to my choice. As we got to the entrance, everyone was now sat in a massive circle doing various strange positions. I saw Ryan and Will, who I ran over to say hi too, and ask them what the day was like so I could decide if I was staying or not. They said it was awful, and everyone was really angry. I looked around, and it was true that everyone was looking very bored and miserable. They said that the 3 girls (not who I thought had organized it) were very popular and had turned it into an awful boss-about session. My parents were continuing walking on ahead, so I thought I would give the day a skip considering everyone was so bored and go on with my family. I kind of walked backwards whilst talking to them, apologizing for not staying this time.

After a couple of nights after logging back into Dreamviews, I had a couple of dreams last night

6am

1) My dad dropped me off at college in his car. It was a cloudy but bright day. The college had the same drop off point, except the part that I walked to from the car was completely different - it was similar to the courtyard area in my secondary school. When I got out to walk to the courtyard bit, Dad drove to the carpark, again similar to the one in secondary school and parked up. I walked towards my secondary school hall, which instead of having the normal roof had a blue tent marquee very similar to the NME and Lock Up tents at Reading Festival. Quite near in the tent, many people were crowding around two guys suspended above us at our head height somehow, writing names on a board of some sort. It first looked like a terribly organized sports team sign up, however it soon seemed to be some sort of request list for a DJ or for acts to play a festival. Everyone was shouting randomly names chaotically and the men, who were probably about 20, were just writing the ones they heard the most or with most clarity. I don't remember the names being shouted. Someone started to shout "LIL B! THE BASED GOD!!!!!", and a few people including myself started joining in. This was followed by people shouting for OFWGKTA or ODD FUTURE, GOLF WANG. My dad appeared behind me to the right around this time, and I thought if I joined in with the Odd Future chants it would impress him, so I did so I started shouting JAMIE XX, but no one joined in and I didn't notice the men taking any notice. So I continued to start shouting it every so often, until a man in front of my turned around to inform me that he put Jamie XX up ages ago. I was a bit embarrassed by this and thought I must have seemed really desperate. Suddenly reality was facebook (this seems to happen quite often ) and a girl wrote a wall post on the event saying that she wanted to buy me a drink! Everyone laughed at her including myself, although I was secretly pretty chuffed. I commented on it in the persona of a mentally disabled guy in my college who always flirts with girls in capital letters on facebook. It got 5 likes, and I was chuffed with this, but also felt like a bit of a dick to the girl who was just trying to be nice. Next thing I knew, everyone had left. I looked around me to see no one, but sort of knew that if I turned around, the girl would be behind me. I tried it, and in fact she was. She had medium length curly blonde-brown hair, was quite short in height and had large boobs She looked like my friend Tamara. I started chatting to her, however she was French and spoke pretty poor English. I thought she was just nervous but she was just quite illiterate. This created a really awkward situation as there was a strong feeling between us that we liked each other, but we obviously couldn't really express it. Suddenly I remember my Dad who was nearby, who speaks very good French, and thought I'd drag him over to make some conversation. I told her that he speaked French and she turned to him, and said something in french quite shyly and quietly. He understood her perfectly and replied perfectly, which was weird as he doesn't speak THAT good french and struggles to understand it. They were talking for a while and I thought I'd show that I wasn't overkeen by leaving briefly to go for a wee. The toilets were where the cafe food normally was in the hall. When I came back, I was very confused to see my Dad and the girl speaking about insurance and mortgages! I assume they were now talking in English because I can remember my Dad saying "You find the richest people you know, and take a £700,000 loan from them to pay for your house!"

7:15am

2) There was some sort of police academy crossed with a job seekers club situated in my kitchen. I don't know why I was given the impression that it was my kitchen, as it looked more like a small village hall or a staffroom than a kitchen. Everyone was sat on those awful brown plastic chairs including myself, facing the front. It was bright in their with internal light, and gave the dirty impression of a scout den or youth hostel.

3) In real life, I really dropped a course at college and in return had to do a journalism club. I turned up to my first lesson of this club at a lunch time. I was sat towards the front of a classroom, once again in my secondary school It felt like it was either night time or just had no windows as the light was very orange and warm. The classroom was similar to one of the maths rooms at my secondary. I knew a couple of people in the class including my Polish friend Claudia, my Nepalese friend Akriti and a couple of people from my ex-Japanese class. I was waiting around whilst the teacher was getting ready, and more friends came along! Aiden and Layla from Japanese, Marko one of my best mates, and various others that I knew. The class seemed like a huge doss. The teacher - who was very, very attractive, young and by the looks of things a shit teacher - was just standing, watching everyone chat. She was quite tanned but definitely English, about 25 years old and quite tall. She looked like someone from my old drama group. Next thing I remember, we were watching some sort of educational video, whilst my teacher decided to get her boobs out from the top of her bra They were very fake and spherical, but were beautiful all the same

1:30am - 10am

Didnt have any dreams last night, which was disappointing considering that I tried hard to remember them.
Oh well, I'm sure my recall will take a while to return

Haven't been logging my dreams recently, and I have no real excuse for it
I had a bad time recently with LSD and the last few months have been very traumatic and uncomfortable, but I am almost completely better

Anyway, I'm feeling very positive, looking at life and trying to go on a spiritual journey.
I'm very interested in Astral Travel at the moment, and I'm experimenting in that at the moment, although cannot beat the fear barrier D:

So anyway, I should start by recalling recent dreams.

1) I was on holiday, I think in Majorca or another package holiday resort place in Spain. I was with my friends, by a swimming pool sunbathing. Some sort of stir was caused - I'm not sure if we were drunk or what, but people were being very open about their opinions. My friend Ashley, who I have a bit of a crush on, approached me and started angrily ranting at me, about how she used to like me so much and I treated her like shit when she fancied me, and how she had moved on. This kind of happened in RL, although I didn't treat her like shit, I just had a girlfriend. But I stopped her when she finished before she would start again, and told her straight up that it was because I really liked her, and couldn't find a way to tell her. She was very pleased by this, and it seemed to be an automatic indication that we still both liked eachother. I was very happy at this, and I woke up feeling love and happiness, but was very disappointed when I realized it was a dream

SIDE NOTES| NON LUCID | LUCID

Last night I went to bed at about 10:30 and dozed off pretty fast.
I woke up naturally at 3:15am and remembered the following dreams:

1) I was looking at what appeared to be a card game. Each card fit into a square shaped grid. The way the cards had been layed out so far was kind of in the shape of a Nazi Swastika. The table that the cards were on was made of green felt. On each card, there was a different picture of a woman in a bikini. On the other side of the cards was the typical red+white weird pattern you see on standard playing cards. It was more of a puzzle than a card game, as you had to put the cards in a certain pattern. However I didn't understand how to work it out, so I more or less put the cards in a random order. When I'd completed it, it turned out that the puzzle turned out to be a really deep, moral lesson, made to teach you about the plastic fakeness of photo-shoots and how natural girls can be so much more beautiful without make up. Overall, I got 95% which I was surprised with considering I randomly guessed. In addition, this result really mate no sense considering there was only about 8 cards.

2) Someone was teling a story about how they found a monkey. The story was being told on some sort of radio or news magazine show. It was very fat and very lazy, resulting in it never leaving the house and becoming a massive slob in the person's house. I saw the monkey in my mind, and it reminded me of the infamous obese Asian baby, or maybe Buddha. I saw the owners take the monkey shopping, and he had to sit inside the trolled in the little seat like a baby does. I think the shop was Sainsbury's. It was very light in the shop, as it always is.



At 3:35am, I went back to bed, after getting a drink of apple juice, having a pee and writing my dreams down.

When I awoke at 4:27am, I remembered the following:

3) It was around 12:30am, and me and Leo were in my bedroom having a lads night in with music and chats. The light was off, but we could see somehow. I was lying on my bed on my side, and Leo was sat against the wall under my KoRn poster. He might have been on a chair, but there isn't one there in real life and I didn't see him really. My bed sheet had been pulled off and my bed was generally very messy, as always. I think it was quite an awkward night - Leo and I have always wanted to have a lads night with music, and it is occasionally awkward with just the two of us but we're usually stoned but it doesn't matter, however we were sober. I was showing him my ambient music playlist through my CD player, playing Kid A by Radiohead - one of our favourite songs. However I was showing him some sort of crazy sound effects through the speaker of an electric UFO I have hanging from my ceiling It was like the experimental noise music that I listen to all the time, and it went in time with the music making it sound even stranger than it normally does. Leo said he liked it, however I felt that he was just being nice about it as I was making my own music pretty much, and when the sounds turned into experimental distorted Aphex Twin style breakbeats I could tell he wasn't enjoying it. I figured he'd had enough of this, so I stepped down and turned the light back on to chat or whatever. I could hear that my sister had just come home from work at Sainsbury's and I thought it was far too late for work. I looked at my bedroom clock to check the time. It was my normal clock, except in between the numbers were strange pale colours, as if normal pinks, yellows, blues, greens and reds had been taken and added to a small amount of white paint. I immediately knew that I was dreaming, but plugged my nose and breathed just to make sure - I could breath, and was now lucid

I don't think Leo was here any longer, as he is also interested in lucid dreaming and I would have told him ecstatically. I sat up on my knees from my laying position, rubbing my hands and touching things lots as I did so to ensure that I stayed lucid. I was getting ready to pull my weigh up and chuck my weight off the cabin bed by holding the wooden beam across it. I was worried that this would stop me being lucid, as the post is very wobbly in real life and the fall is quite scary. However, I did it anyway and it felt exactly how it always feels After performing several more RC's, I decided that it was about time for me to use a lucid to have fun, and not just walk around in excitement like I always do Whenever I think of what to do when I'm lucid, I imagine going to a beautiful field with blue skies and huge stretches of grass hills, with one massive oak tree where I would sit in the shade in awe. I figured I should go to this place, as it would be the perfect first proper lucid dream. I stood in the middle of my bedroom with my arms outstretched, fingers pointing out. I began spinning, but my room was very messy, and my movements were pretty slow and not very smooth at all However I imagined the perfect field, shut my eyes, and hoped for the best... but the best was not good enough, and nothing happened I think the reasoning for this was, like my recent lucid where I tried to spawn MDMA, I didn't TRULY believe that the transformation would occur.

Suddenly, I was in the spare-room arguing with my Mum + sister. It was dark in the hallway but light in the spare room. I still haven no idea why everyone was still up at this time, or where Leo went My Mum was sat at the computer and my sister was behind her. I think I was still aware that I was dreaming, but I had no control and didn't really feel very lucid at all. My Mum was telling Nicola about the new "image" of our landline telephone. She either meant the picture that pops up when you are called, or that we got a new headset. Either way, for some reason my sister was really angry about this.

I was now in the living room with my Mum. She was having a go at me about something, but I can't remember what. The lights were on in the kitchen and in the far left of the living room, but not in the section that we were. Strangely, I plugged my nose and breathed to test if I was still dreaming, and I couldn't dream, so I said something like "See what you did Mum!? You stopped my lucidity!!!" She seemed interested for once that I had been having a lucid dream. I find it quite amusing that I was aware that I was dreaming and that I had been lucid and that I could still be lucid, yet I wasn't lucid

Dreaming was quite odd for me last night. I dreamed quite a lot and the dreams were vivid, but for some reason when I woke up from them, I couldn't be bothered to write them down which is frustrating! Oh well
I still remember some bits though luckily

I was at a house party somewhere in a town. It wasn't really far away, but it was still a good 30 or so miles - one of these parties that you're invited to but don't really know anyone going. I remember thinking the area looked like Winchester. Me and some friends who I don't remember were walking along a long downhill road, looking for a turning to find the persons house. When my friend gave the instructions the area suddenly seemed like the town I live in, near a church by Pizza Hut and Tesco. The turning they gave to me was the same turning to get into a garden park in real life. It was a cloudy, dull day but I think it was pretty warm. We turned left down the path, which was more like a driveway with pillars and walls on either side of it. The driveway was bumpy with stones as opposed to concrete, as the real life one is. We were told to keep walking until we reached a brick wall, where you could turn right then immediately another left to get to a certain shop. I can't remember what shop this was, but it was some sort of male clothing shop, like Burton, Topman, Republic, Brother2Brother or something.

When we reached this shop (which was black), I don't really remember a section of the dream. Suddenly, I was at a party. I was definitely shown the start of the party in the dream, but because I didn't write it down I don't remember it. It was a massive, massive party, in a huge mansion of some rich girl. I was trying hard to not drink too much alcohol, because I always do that and end up not being able to get with any girls, which is generally my primary goal Also, I was one of the only boys there. I think the hostess must have been at a single-sex college, as there was a huge amount of posh girls there and very few boys, the only boys being posh too. I felt like I was at an advantage with the girls as I have dreadlocks and although I dressed up smart-casual, I probably came across as very unique in the environment.

One of the parts of the party that I remember was lying in a large four-poster bed. I was on the bed with a very posh, dark haired and incredibly petite girl. Looking back on it, it would seem that she was only 14 or so which is pretty weird as I'm 17, but I think she just looked young. I was trying to get with her, as we were both lying parallel closely on the bed. However I just couldn't do it, she was being very difficult and proved that some of the girls were put off by my lower class.

Another moment I remember was being in some sort of dining room, and seeing a petite girl with huge breasts in very revealing black lingerie. She had her boobs hanging out from the top of her bra for a joke, and everyone was complimenting her on her sexiness and confidence. I saw this happening and thought the party was pretty damn crazy.

I don't remember much else of what happened at the party. The next thing I really remember is going to Sainsbury's by myself to get some food or something. I don't remember the journey there, just suddenly being there. It must have been quite late as this definitely occurred after the events I saw at the party, yet despite being indoors it still felt sunny outside. I don't remember buying anything - just walking out from one of the aisles towards the cashier, with a cigarette in my hand. I was heading towards the exit via the cashiers, and I bumped into my friend Latham's parents. Mick, his Dad, smokes and I didn't recognize him at the start, but he saw me with my dreads, holding a cigarette, and when I realized who it was I panicked and ignored him, walking away quickly. I lit the fag at some point when I was out, and saw them again, again embarrassed.

I then suddenly appeared at the same position I was in when I was first travelling to the house, by Tesco and Pizza Hut. I'd forgotten how to get to the house, but by retracing my steps I managed to find my way back to the clothes shop. I was now suddenly in the garden of the house. I'm pretty sure on my walk from Sainsbury's to here it had been sunset again like it was at the start, but it was suddenly dark again I'm not too sure if I got the order of the events correct as they don't make much sense. In the garden, I was trying to roll a cigarette. Some strange things happened now. The first was that I was trying to put the tobacco into my rizzla, but the tobacco was just a fine white powder, and quite a lot of it too. There was probably only about 7 rollies left but I was very confused. Without really thinking about it, I put it in my rizzla anyway. I noticed my best mate Ryan. B being there, and I asked him what the white stuff was. He told me it was something to do with white starch or something being filtered out when you roll a cigarette. Whatever he said made little sense as it'd never happened before! It was now that I realized I was putting the tobacco into a king skin sized rizzla! This confused me, and I then realized that it wasn't a king skin. It was about 8 skins stuck together vertically, making it look huge!! I tried to yank them out, and a massive rectangle containing about 15 rizzlas vertically and about 50 horizontally was pulled out of my pack! I was so confused, and blamed my clumsiness on me being too drunk, when I don't even think I was. I approached a guy who I had never met before and asked him if he could roll for me as I was too drunk, outstretching the massive collage of rizzlas in his face as I did so. Not sure if he did or not, I can't remember the rest of this bit. The garden was quite big but not as big as you'd think with such a massive house. It had a bench which we were all sat on at the start.

I was now in a hallway with a guy that I think I met sometime during the party. We did some sort of stupid, drunken thing like set off a fire alarm, as sprinklers were activated and the whole party was evacuated into an assembly hall We sat near the back, and the rest of the party spread out throughout the whole hall. There must have been a good 400 people there!!! The person speaking in the assembly must have suggested that someone had to own up, as me and the other victim giggled knowingly.

{I don't understand how I didn't have a Lucid Dream last night ,as the cigarette scene was just so weird and I knew that it was weird, so I really should have done reality checks. I'm thinking of changing my reality checks during the day to doing so when something strange happens. I woke up in the middle of this dream, and had also been dreaming about a girl called Anya Holloway who is a model in my town. I got distracted and then went back to bed, and immediately continued the dream! Woohoo!}

Looks like I'm back on track with my dream recall
Last night I had 6 vivid dreams, wrote them all down! One of them I absolutely adored, I don't know why.
As usual they're all non-lucid but now that my recall has returned i'll be working on it

1) I was in CEX, the electronic goods exchange shop. We have one in the town I'm in but it wasn't that one. It was very dark inside, and reminded me of a geeky comic book store or just a general miserable charity shop or something. It might have been light outside, but the curtains were shut so I couldn't really tell. I walked in from the back entrance of the shop. As I walked in, there were aisles of video games, DVDs, etc. on the right side of the shop, and on the left there was the counter. I walked past the counter and suddenly noticed my good friend Alex. Bi on the cashier with another guy who I don't remember, but I knew them. He said something like "Hey Calum! I am DEFINITELY not really drunk ". He said it sarcastically obviously suggesting that he had drunk a lot before work or the night before and was now pretty intoxicated. It made me laugh and I turned around to see his manager very close. I was worried that Alex would get himself in trouble, but the manager obviously heard and was laughing to himself shaking his head jokingly whilst working, so he was clearly quite chilled out. I was jealous of him having such a cool manager. I remembered in the dream that Alex had invited me to a party but I had turned it down for some reason. I apologized for it and thanked him, to which he said it was fine. Then he told me I was shit at prank calling. I can't remember where that came from.

{Very random dream. I've been quite chatty with Alex recently which could explain his appearance. In addition, he has been organizing an end of college party in the woods for a while which may explain the party. I don't know what the relevance of CEX or prank calling was.}

2) I read on the news or some other reliable source that the Dalai Lama's brother was dying of cancer. I wikipedia'd it to make sure it was true, and it was. I then asked a man in CEX if it was true, but he claimed he had died 4 years ago from smoking. I finally told my mum, and she wasn't particularly interested.

{this dream made very little sense. i'm going to see the Dalai Lama do a speech on June the 21st and I told my parents and they weren't particularly interested which I was shocked about, as he is such a powerful religious figure. this might explain why my mother wasn't interested when I told her about his death. I don't understand the obsession with CEX last night.}

3) It was my birthday, and me and my family were sat in the living room exchanging presents. It was very dark outside and about 6:25pm. However lights were on inside so it was nicely lighted. Like in another recent dream, we had our previous red living room suite instead of our new cream suite. It was quite awkward, as my Mum had bought pretty weird, shit gifts and my Dad who doesn't normally help her pick items thought her choices were very disappointing.

• The first present was a big combo pack box of various socks and boxer-shorts. I was quite surprised as I normally hate getting underwear for special occasions, but they were actually pretty cool and I like them. One of the pairs of boxer shorts were Berbery patterned, which was awesome! The box was like one of those boxes you get box-set books or DVDs in. It was dark blue. This present wasn't actually the first - I remember there being presents before this, but I can't remember them.

• Next, I got some pyjama bottoms with Bart Simpsons scattered over it. They were light blue. I get this kind of thing every year - unneeded pyjama bottoms with characters that I thought were 'rad' when I was about 8 years old. I unenthusiastically said "Oh coooooool...Bart Simpson pyjama bottoms..." before exchanging an awkward look at my dad that said "God these presents are shit...".

• Next, I got some sort of computer program, I think it was a problem solving game where you had to translate Japanese alphabet to English. I wasn't particularly interested in this, but it came with a hiragana/english keyboard which I thought would come in good handy in practising my Japanese. The keyboard was like a traditional old grey block keyboard. The english letters were in regular QUERTY format, and the hiragana characters were under the english letters - you had to use the shift key to use them. I told my parents how I thought the keyboard would be very handy but they didn't really show any interest.

• I was now given one of those CD-ROMs you get in cereal packets that contain malware-infested shit like wallpapers or buggy games. This time it was various desktop wallpapers of football matches. One of the teams had an orange and black kit on, perhaps wolves? I was very confused about this present, as I have no particular interest in wallpapers or football. But my Mum then explained that the wallpapers were painted by Irvine Welsh, one of my favourite authors. However instead of saying Irvine Welsh she said "Lentin Quoke" - I still understood who she meant, somehow. As soon as she told me I saw a lot of value in the wallpaper. It was very abstract and psychadelic...can't really describe it, but there's a lot of abstract art I look at in reality and it was similar to that. an example of the art is this...
  
  

• The penultimate gift was bigged up as the best present and was meant to be the last, and apparently one of my good friends (who I can't remember) owns one too. It was the only present I recall being wrapped in paper. I unwrapped it, and it was a 4 inch tall action figure of Stuart Little, the mouse from the animated film. However, it looked nothing like it. It was infact one of those skinny rubber bendy men whose limbs you can move, the kinda toy you buy from Hawkins Bizarre. However, it was actually Mike the green thing from Monsters Inc. I thought it was pretty cute and liked it. I started bending it's arms from a folding position to a spread out position, but by the time I finished doing that it was a 6 foot tall furry replica of Sulley from Monsters Inc. I looked away for a while, then when I looked back it was a model of a girl called Bronia in my Philosophy class. It was like a spoony china doll replica of her, now only 3/4 foot tall, and I remember thinking it was incredibly 'hip' and suited my weird personality perfectly. I thought I could stand it in the middle of my bedroom for everyone to see.

• After the previous present which was supposed to be the last, I was suddenly watching TV. It was a strange video tape of some sort of Disney Princess movie that I think was another present. It was very odd, and gave me the feeling that I was on LSD again. It was accompanied by music, and the strange creature - a red blob - which was supposed to represent a princess was about to jump over a huge chasm. You could hear the instruments doing a crescendo, building up the suspense. I was expecting a perfect cadence to end the short film which was only a matter of two minutes long. However in mid air, the princess just remained in mid air. I was a bit confused, presuming that the video was just skipping or I accidentally paused it. I clicked something on the remote, and the seconds continued to roll on - it was still playing, this was how the video was supposed to be. I figured it was some sort of experimental movie, and started to see value in it.

After all the presents from my parents, my sister had a couple to give me. However by this time it was 6:31 precisely, and my Mum claimed it was too late and she had to rush off to work that started at 6:30. I was quite annoyed, because there was still some hope in a nice gift from my sister.

{This was a very, very odd dream. My sister's birthday was recent and we all sat around the living room to exchange presents as we do every year, so I guess that may come from that. Something I found interesting about the dream is that it was 6:25ish, and the only time of the year that it is pitch black at this time is around my birthday (January). Maybe the time of the year affects the weather etc. even in dreams, i'm not sure...}

4) I was sat in the woods with a boy and my sister. I may have been accompanied by my family but I don't think I was. The boy was either my friend Nick. El or my other friend Marc. Wand. I'm pretty sure it was Nick though. It was around 2pm I think, cloudy outside but still fairly light where the sun was beaming through, nice and warm as well. I recognized where we were sat, I think it was the woodland area on the campus of my secondary school. The boy had a short haired, sandy coloured cute hamster which we were playing with. We started off by playing with it in it's cage (although I don't recall the cage being there) but ended up taking him out and letting him run through our hands, before just letting him walk on the dry dirt. Someone piped up saying it was weird and unnatural putting a hamster on the dirt in the forests, but I mentioned that wild hamsters grow up in the forests so it's hardly unnatural (I don't actually think they do, they might do, but I was fairly confident in my claim in the dream haha!). I then picked the hamster up, and kind of gently pushed his face into a dry, powdery dirt pile. I wanted to make it look like he was burrowing into the ground. He didn't seem to mind, and continued digging for a little bit, shuffling round the dirt. Suddenly, I looked down and the hamster was stood by Nick's leg, and there were 3 to 5 in total!

5) I was sat in a grey, boring but light exam hall. Instead of the normal auditorium like layout that I usually have college exams in, we were sat alongside each other in a cinema like set up. I was sat with with someone to my right who I think I knew, but not sure who it was - possibly Matt. Cra. We were waiting for everyone to turn up. I was going to be sitting a Music Tech exam, but people around me were doing a large variety of exams. A tall guy who looked like a cross between ex-bass player of Blue Camel Tom. Ho and a guy I met at a party called James. Gy came and sat to the left of me. I didn't recognize him really, just recognized his physicality as someone else. I greeted him and he greeted me. He then continued to criticize the exam I was taking, saying that Music Tech was too easy and not worth doing. I asked him what subject he was doing and he showed me a Maths paper, telling me that universities would value it so much more because it was much harder. I disagreed with this, saying that universities don't really care what subjects you took unless it's a subject specific university, and that all they care about it high grades - therefore I'd be more likely to get an A as it was an easy subject. He seemed to still disagree, but couldn't come back with a counter-argument so kind of muttered and returned to look at his own paper.

{Strange dream, as they all are really. Only relevance is that I took a Music Tech exam recently. I've also thought that it may have been a bad idea taking less academic subjects as uni's may prefer Maths etc. however I decided otherwise}

6) I was on a camping expedition in a desert (I think the Sahara) with two others. We had been hiking for a very long time, and we were now approaching our camp site. The area was beautiful - the sun was setting to a breathtaking purple-orange gradient, and we were surrounding by beautiful varying in size sand dunes. It felt like a life changing journey and that we had really accomplished something spectacular. I'm not really sure who the other people I was with were. One of them was my kind of age, and the other was an old man in his late 50's/early 60's. I thought the boy could have either been my good friend American Sam, Matt.P or Will. N, and the old man was my ex-Philosophy teacher John. D. If it wasn't him, then it could have been Hagrid. As we reached the camp site, I was informed that they were camping where we had just arrived and my spot was still a 1 mile walk in the same direction. I was angered and thought it was selfish of the others, but I immediately reminded myself of how beautiful the situation was, and how I needed to appreciate it as part of the experience. We all had very large hiking bags presumably containing water and essentials on our backs, so I told them that I would leave that in their area before hiking to mine, which they were fine with. Thinking about it that made not much sense as I'd have needed water in those conditions. We entered their area, which was a wooden log cabin! I'm pretty sure we were supposed to be camping in low-standard, traditional tribal tents, so I thought this was very odd, especially considering I'd probably be given a tent and be very jealous. We went inside and it was extremely dark, and I just dumped by bag somewhere. I occasionally worried as I snapped back to reality, realizing how crazy it was that I was on an expedition with a friend and an old man thousands of miles from home. I kept telling myself how messed up it was that I was in North Korea, although I'm pretty certain I was in the Sahara or another desert, unless North Korea has deserts? I don't think my parents were aware of what I was doing, which gave me a huge sense of freedom.

{I really, really enjoyed this dream. It was one of my favourite ever dreams, and I definitely want to revisit the beautiful area when I can lucid dream again}

EDIT: That was odd...after posting this, I googled North Korean Desert Sunset and foundd this image. It is an almost perfect representation of what I saw last nighht :O

So I had my first dream after being a drug addict idiot for a few months. I decided to get my recall back up, and I had 6 vivid dreams in the same night, which I was very pleased with. However, I don't know about everyone else, but my DJ was broken and it deleted it, GRRR! can't be arsed to redo it.

Anyway, i've been at a lot of parties recently, therefore irregular sleeping patterns therefore no recall. However, yesterday I had a nap at around 12pm and woke up about 2pm. I had 4 nasty, nasty dreams. I'd been researching DMT and other psychadelic drugs for a while before, and the nightmares felt like what my acid trip was like. I don't really remember them, but I was pretty shaken and figured that all my dreams from now on would be like this. I later realized this was silly though. Thinking about it, the dreams aren't actually very scary - they just felt very real and horrified me at the time.

1) I was in a train station hallway at night time where corridors split off to different stops, like in the London Underground. I was intoxicated in some way. I had the effects of being drunk (e.g. moving vision, very wobbly) however I think I was on acid. Anyway, I didn't really know what I was doing and I think I was trying to get home, so I just walked through a hallway.

Suddenly, I was stumbling very extremely around a quiet village. It was morning now, probably about 9am, and the sky was cloudless. It was a beautiful day, but I was more intoxicated than ever. I was ever so confused - I had the feeling you get the morning after a party when you don't recall what happened, but much worse. I decided as soon as I was concious that I was near my secondary school, but I simply couldn't get my bearings right and I was incredibly confused and lost. Suddenly I saw a train station, which told me I was not near my secondary school as there is no train station nearby. I did not recognize where I was at all, which was extremely worrying. I stumbled over to the train station, which was very small and made of wood. I saw the train station sign, which informed me that I was in Kingsclere of all places!

2) I was sitting in the shade of a swimming pool area, where people were sun bathing in the gorgeous weather. I was with a dealer called Dee. We were fully clothed as we were in the shade. Strangely, the pool area was in place of where my town's bus station normally is We were going to make a move and go to a party - maybe a free party or a rave, I can't really remember. We eventually got up and walked past where the buses normally would park, down the back alley of Nandos, Pizza Express and some other restaurants. I was told we were going to a place called the Crackhead Steps to meet some people we knew, but instead of walking straight for a while like we normally would, we turned left into a strange industrial building that I'd never seen before. It was very shadey here. Here, some very dodgy people were congregating, for example Chucky.Mo. I think they were doing some sort of drug deal, and Dee was involved in this. I, however, was very intimidated and didn't want to get involved, so I stood awkwardly, absolutely terrified.

I think this was the same dream, but it was in a different location - maybe a pub? Anyway, I was looking at Dee again, and she was absolutely stunning (she's pretty ugly in reality ). She was still odd looking, but it was a sexy-odd. Her head was kind of mis-shapen and was wearing a green dress. She looked like an alien.

1) I was in some sort of log-cabin with a lot of my friends. My mum was there too, so I assume maybe the rest of my family were there too. I think it was very dark outside but the lights were on in all of the rooms, making the rooms very well lit. I was a chillout room, and walked over to the laptop on a desk when one of my mates called me over. I read what was on the screen - it was some dirty messages expressing to people that I was horny. I remember saying them out of anxiety and a messed up brain, not out of horniness. So, I went off to find my Mum, who had somehow heard the news already XD I explained to her what had happened, and she said "Okay whatever, it's the same thing that happened last week with the porn". In the dream, the week before my parents found I watched porn. We were sitting on a table, and she looked fairly not bothered. I was happy it went so well and slunk off.

2) I was at either a Scouting event or some sort of music festival - I think it was a music festival, but with my friends I'd normally go to a festival with. I think I was drunk, as I was really disorientated, wandering around in a field late at night on my own. I was looking for our tent, and knew that there was a light on in it so it should have been easy to find. There was a couple nearby me looking for tents as well. The woman said to the man something like "Oh, it looks nothing like it did on the advert". The sky was a nice colour - a sort of gradient from pitch black to light blue. There was a large pole with something on the top about 3 metres to the right and forward of me. It was either a large sign or a basketball hoop - I'd imagine the first, as it'd be more suitable for a campsite I eventually arrived at the tent. All my friends including Will.N, Tom.R and Josh.P for some reason were in the tent. It was very large - the size of the regular 10 man tents we use, but the floors and canvas was made of wood, kind of like a trapper tent. When I entered, I thought I wouldn't be welcome as I didn't help set up etc. and thought I'd have my own tent to set up on my own. However, I was welcomed kindly on entry by everyone, and I crawled in through the crowded room of people laying on the floor, kneeling on peoples legs and what not. I asked where there was a space for me - there was one in the far left corner. I remember being mildly annoyed as this only place was next to Josh.P, and as soon as I got there he was all up in my face and saying annoying things. I didn't mind though, I laughed it off. It was pretty light in the room - I think we were using a large gas-lamp.

3) I was on a double decker bus at College waiting to leave - however it was actually in the car park of my secondary school's leisure centre. It was sometime between 10am and 4pm, and we were all wanting to go home. We were fairly far away from the centre - a good 20 metres to the left, but we had a good view. We suddenly saw Duncan Spence stood outside the leisure centre. We were really confused what he was doing. He was holding loads of birds that had just flown over and landed on him, as he's always been good at training animals + birds. Some were on his hands, arms and shoulders. He was walking past the right of the leisure centre now (must have gone backwards at somepoint), with a long line of small children following him. They looked about 8 years old, and the ones I saw were boys - I think I recognized one or two from when I helped out at cub-scouts. All of a sudden, duncan flung his arms out, and the birds all flew away in the same direction, like a dove does when being offered as a symbol of piece. All the children were in awe of Duncan. I figured it must have been some sort of Primary school activity that he was helping out with, as (in the dream) I remember doing this when I was little kid. I started talking to the people around me who I think were girls, basically saying how he could be a normal guy if he didn't say such inappropriate things and wear a pink helmet all the time. I looked over at him, and suddenly realized it wasn't him wearing a helmet - it was my friend Karl.S. Suddenly, my friend Chloe.R said something like "Ahahaha, did Connor.Barn really just go swimming? Aww that's so sweet". We all peered through the windows, and we saw him cycling away from the leisure centre on a bike with wet hair.

Awful, awful recall last night. To be honest it makes sense - i'd been drinking at a party, fell asleep at 1am, so y'know.

1) All I remember was my friend Greg.W were talking again about our guitar lessons (IRL, we were talking about it yesterday). We both haven't had a guitar lesson yet, and in the dream he told me that all I needed to take to the lessons was my guitar, lead and distortion pedal. My distortion pedal was my BOSS OS-2, it looked the same in the dream. I was happy that I had to bring it, to show it off as you don't normally get asked to bring it.

2) I was out with Amy...that's it.

Pretty poor recall last night. I'm gonna start waking up in the middle of the night briefly to gather my dreams, as I seem to get my best recall that way.

1) My Dad and his mate went on a week holiday to Japan. I was really jealous of my Dad as I knew I'd appreciate the Japanese culture more than he would. Me and 2 female friends who I cannot recall her chilling on the side of my bed closest to my door. We were talking about 'pussy', I believe XD But in a jokey, toilet-humour way - not flirtatious. I knew it would be fine as I didn't think my dad would be coming home until about 4am. It was probably about 12am, and it was pitch black in my room.

Possibly the next morning, I was talking to my Dad. He said that he came home early and had been hearing everything. Initially I as embarrassed, but it didn't really bother me eventually. I asked him how Japan was - he said it was pretty good, but wasn't talking about it much. I kept questioning him about landmarks such as Fuji - he saw mount Fuji, and was amazed at how wide and perfectly diagonal it is. I agreed.

2) Me and my friends were sat at a long, narrow, oval shaped dinner table. We were all sat around it having a fish based meal. I think the occasion was a friend's birthday, but I really can't remember much. It was dark in the dining room, but candles lit the dining area. I think I was drinking Budweiser with my meal. We eventually decided to leave the table and chill in a room to the left of me. I think it was like a conservatory, and we were going to have more drinks in there.

Real Life Non-Lucid

1) I shot up out of bed at about 1:05am, convinced that I had slept an hours or two through my alarm, and therefore was very late for school. I jumped to the far end of my bed, my heart racing and breathing very heavily, before trying to make out the time. It was too dark to see the clock, but this alone showed it was too early to be 9am. I looked at my mobile quickly and realized the time, laughed and went back to bed.

2) Me and my friends were sat in a grassy area in our college eating or lunch. It was very sunny but a few clouds in the sky - at the times a cloud was covering the sun, making it shady. It felt like we were sat on the field of my secondary school, but I'm pretty sure we were at college. A girl called Rebecca.Ro was sat opposite me, sharing around a canteen packet of chicken nuggets and chips. The packet was white with red and yellow diagonal stripes going across it, like the ones in my secondary school. The chicken was more of a fillet than a nugget, only two large ones making up the chicken side. I really wanted to ask for some chicken, but I felt embarrassed to as I don't really know her very well. My good friend Sarah.S then started to do the same, sharing around food, except this time it was a little cylinder-shaped sachet of salt (try saying that 3 times faster ). She ripped the top off and threw the packet towards me but without letting go, so that the salt inside flew out and landed perfectly in my mouth, without any grains spilling anywhere else...like a boss. I was initially worried it would taste disgusting, but it wasn't very salty at all - I was both pleasantly surprised and disappointed. I then updated my Facebook status, telling the world about my sodium adventure - because it was just too exciting to keep to myself I think I did this via a smart phone, as I later returned home and the status had been left. I was sat in my spareroom on the family desktop, and my status basically read that the salt really didn't taste salty, although it came across as tasting like ASIWYFA(then with about 5 unknown letters after). For those of you who don't know, ASIWYFA stands for 'And So I Watch You From Afar', a post rock band. So yeh, that made no sense. I think the other letters mixed in may been confused from OFWGKTA (A hip-hop collective called Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All). My friend Latham had commented already explaining that no-one knew what the abbreviation meant and that I should actually clear that up. However, he wrote it in extremely bad spelling and grammar - the kind a 12 year old boy has when he first discovers MSN 11 people 'liked' his comment.

3) I was in a hotel with a mixture of my Explorers troop and my secondary school, but I can't really remember anyone who was there. We were downstairs in a hotel lobby, although it was more like a youth hostel - pretty shabby. The lobby area was the back room that we used to wait around in during dress rehearsals at my old drama group. It was night time, and it was dark outside - however all of the lights were on in the room, the kitchen, the hallway etc. so it was nice and bright. We were stood around unpacking etc. in the lobby - which makes no sense if we were staying in a hotel? But yeh, people were getting into their sleeping clothes and what not. I decided I was going to go and brush my teeth, hoping others would come along, but they didn't. I looked to the left of me, and my mate Jamie.K had no trousers of boxers on!! Just his bare arse. I noticed he was very orange and tanned compared to usual. I looked at him awkwardly for obvious reasons and he looked at me back as if to say, "What? It's only natural!" I walked upstairs somehow, and was stood in the hallway of the area where rooms were found. The lighting was very scary - a very dark red, like something in a horror movie, although we just put it off as bad maintenance. Before brushing my teeth, I decided to check the public shared freezer to make sure our items were still in there. I walked over to it - it was a fairly big freezer on the ground and pretty organized. I figured it was going to be all broken with our food stolen, but it was pretty good. Strangely, in one of the top shelves, someone had put two chicken drumsticks.

Everyone around the area was pretty unfriendly and arrogant - they were all old than me, so they looked down on me as a wimpy kid ruining their fun. I even think some of them were travellers. They were all gathered in the hallway, leaning against the walls doing nothing much but insulting the younger people there. After checking the freezer, I started to leave without brushing my teeth - I'm guessing I got a bit intimidated and decided to come back when some of my friends were with me. As I was walking past one of the guys, I dug my hand into my left pocket to get some Skittles to eat - they were loose as they'd fallen out of the packet. I got a couple of yellow ones, but I caused a couple to roll out of my pocket and onto the floor whilst I was doing this. I got really embarrassed and clumsy, walking backwards to look at the skittles briefly, shrugging it off but tripping over my feet. They just said various stupid things to me, and I forgot about the skittles and continued walking around the square banister that led to the staircase. A guy by the staircase who looked just like someone in my Music Tech class called Josh.S said something to me - I can't remember what, but I remember it being friendly and possibly apologizing on behalf of everyone for being prats.

Suddenly, I was on the second floor landing of a much fancier hotel. I think it was possibly the same hotel, but in a different room or something...I don't know. Either way, it was very, very posh, well lit by chandeliers with fancy paintings and gold decor all over the place. I was now looking for the toilet again, and a butler stood by a large set of double doors asked me if he could help me. I asked him to lead me to the toilets, so he swung open the doors, ushered me through and began to lead me into a large hallway. There was a sharp right turn in the huge building. The carpets were very fancy. Suddenly, Amy was with me. The place looked very much like a church. As we were walking through, the man was teaching us about the ancient parts of the halls, but I couldn't help but be distracted by the fact that Amy was texting away on her blackberry - I thought it was really rude. Eventually, he told her to stop texting, which I was relieved about. However, we got to a set of pews where we stopped and the man told us to follow him further to examine something, but amy said "Wait a sec!!" as she was fiddling with her phone again on the pew. The man told her that he had asked her to stop that, and she told him to chill out as she was just finishing something.

Later on, I was in a circle of strangers (other than my friend Josie) just to the right of the pews - they all knew Amy somehow - however Amy was no longer there either. However, for some reason we had her phone. A little notification 'bleep' went off on her phone, and a girl that was in the circle checked it for her. She announced to everyone that our friend Ryan.Herb had died! Josie, who was sat to the left of me, asked if Ryan was the guy that started doing weed when he was in year 5. We said yes, it was.

4) My friends Will, Mandey, Mandey's friend who I did not know and myself were walking home from college via the same route I'd normally go. We were gonna pop into town, but decided to go back to my house to watch the rugby together. It seemed like some sort of date. We caught the bus from town to my house, but it seemed very short and my house was in the same town as my college in the dream - in reality, it is a good 30 minute drive. It was a cloudy day and about 4pm. Mandey had to leave early as she had other responsibilities at the Academy - i'm guessing it was dance or balet. However, she still said she'd manage to catch a good hour of the match. We also saw my dad at some point. As you can probably tell, I don't remember much about this dream - I'm just summarising what I wrote in my phone notes

1) I was on a school trip with my secondary school. I can't remember where, but it was something like a zoo or a theme park, and we had stopped for lunch. It was pretty cloudy with sun shining through the clouds, and we were sat on the grass next to a tarmac pathway. A boy stole a girl's pink, digital camera as a joke. It was all harmless banter, until the person walked to his left for a bit, and threw the camera forcefully against the tarmac, shattering it until about 10 different pieces. No one could believe what he had just done, and he was looking back at us with an awkward but cheerful grin as if to say, "What? ...it was only a joke...". I then stood up and started shouting at him, "Mate, you realize you're gonna have to pay for that yeh?" several times. Everyone agreed with me.

2) I was back in my secondary school, in the assembly hall. Me, Sam.A, a new friend Jordan.E and I think one other were sat together near the reception door eating our lunch. Sam was sat opposite me, Jordan was sat to the right of him and the other friend I think was sitting to the right of Jordan. Suddenly, I hear someone abruptly saying "Calum...". I realize it was Bryn, an annoying and socially awkward person in my year. He asked me why I joined in and welcomed myself into Sam + Jordan's conversation, as if I was being some sort of wannabe person trying to fit in. I simply told him that I was talking to my new friend Sam.A about food - he was telling me about a rice dish he loves which contains his favourite cous-cous substitute. I imagined the dish, it was heavily rice based which looked very stodgy with some green sea-weed like stuff around the edges. Bryn continued to bother me briefly, before smugly walking back to Dan.N, Rich.P and some other friends of mine who dislike him also. He was very arrogant throughout the whole conversation, acting as if Sam and Jordan hated me. After he left, despite only being a few meters behind me, I started talking to Sam about how much I hate Bryn, and how arrogant + socially awkward he was. Sam was laughing and agreeing with me.

Had 1 really vivid dream last night, and 1 that I can't really remember much about.

1) I was living on a ferry in some sort of university where I was learning Japanese, but at a Degree standard.
My teacher was russian - tall, quite ugly, with her hair tied tightly back. She was strictly japanese - i think we had to be VERY accurate with our speaking, bow, etc. She recommended I watch a Japanese film (which I cannot remember the name of) in order to learn better. I thought this was a good idea. I also remember a mental image of the ground floor where the entrance and main hall was, and it looked like hogwarts - fairly dim lighting coming from chandeliers and candles. There was a staircase on either side of the large room, leading to a hall on the second floor. There were also halls on the left and right of the grand floor, and I'd just come from the right. I was standing next to the entrance.

2) I was in a new college, but not the real life college that I've currently just started. I was walking around the main library area, and it was extremely crowded. There were people rushing around and very excited to be in the library, as the college had a large focus on personal tuition and career choices. The library was very typical for a library - very grey, with grey carpets that you find in schools, the ones that you can get carpet burns from really easily. There were no lights on, but it was well lit from outdoor light through windows on the sides. There was something in particular that I was looking for, but I cannot remember what. Eventually, I decided to walk upstairs to the disabled + young children section. I remember initially feeling nervous and self concious, but I decided to not care what people thought of me and just went for it. I walked up the staircase near the right of the main room at the back, and when I walked to the top I stood there for a minute, taking everything in. I saw young children mainly as I looked around. I was looking for a music section, and eventually found it, immediately looking for a specific white keyboard. This room was equally large, but was far more quiet. I could see lots of musical toys - everything I could imagine. I remember thinking "I bet they don't have toy electric guitars", and upon saying it 3 of the same red toy guitar caught my eye. I walked closer to it, examining the right shelves before turning to the left shelves. I couldn't see it on the left, but as soon as I looked on the left side of it, I found the white keyboard. It looked like a fairly basic keyboard, but it was actually a fairly complex synthesizer. I began to test it out, fiddling with the keys and the modulation wheel. I played with a distorted guitar patch, and it sounded incredible. The modulation wheel wasn't doing what I wanted to, no matter what settings I fiddled with, so I looked around for help. I noticed a good looking woman around 30 years old bent over and organizing the toys to my left. She was fairly tall, busty, and had white-blonde hair. I was scared of talking to her, as I had talked to her before online, and I worried that it was going to be awkward. However, she noticed I was having trouble and came to me to help. She didn't recognize me, or pay much attention to me - she just immediately took control of the keyboard, coming out with some Jibberish that made no sense, even to me, someone who knows a fair amount about electronic sound synthesis. She said something about the low frequency oscillator controlling the wrong parameters, but it was much more complex than that. I awkwardly thanked her. There was also a vocoder on the synth.

I was back in the main section of the library. I can't remember if this came before or after the last section, but it was definitely part of the same dream. I was now amongst all the people rushing around, and I was holding a small card in my hand, about the same size as a business card. It had information that meant I was guaranteed a job in the given career field. Students could exchange these cards with Employers, who would take it and immediately take you on. I had already had a job with my friend Franzi, helping her work in the kitchen of a local hotel (which she does IRL). She had red hair in the dream, and we weren't enjoying the job at all, so she quit very shortly, and so did I. This is why I was rushing around - I had just found another card, and I was looking for the place to exchange it for a new job.
