Tom's Dream journal

Only one dream this evening, along with my normal WBTB:
I was at hogwarts. It was great, i mean it was how i picture it in the books not how the movies show it to you. Anyway i was walking around the school by myself, i think i was in raven claw (that would always be my choice), i didn't recognise any of the students though. I think i had a wand i i used it a couple of times, but then i realised that i had to go outside. So i walked down some staircase to the great hall and then went outside. There was a great crowd by the lake and i realised it must be Dumbledore's funeral.
So i ran down the hill to the lake and watched everyone gathering and i remember seeing the tomb, as it is described in the books, White marble. The dream got fuzzy and ended though, which was a shame, i mean it was pretty fun being around in Hogwarts even if i wasn't lucid.

Set myself up for REM-Rebound tonight by shortening my last period of sleep after my WBTB.
Three dreams to report:
1:
I was at school, in our school we have these things called ECAs they are basically activities for people in the school, like cookery or swimming or something. Anyway i was running one in this large building in my school and we were all shouting at each other from a distance Soon it ended.
2:
I was walking through a social part of my school having just one to the school cafe, and i passed a large group of people laughing and such in the hallway. I passed right through them and then went up some stairs to the right. There was a girl in my year there sitting on the steps crying, she was really pissed off with something someone said. I was pretty surprised as she is normally pretty tough, anyway i tried to comfort here but she didn't want me to so i left . Dream ended.
3:
I was cooking with someone from my school who i don't like, it was pretty strange actually. He was telling me how to do everything but it was a dish i do loads and i was getting irritated but tried to just bite my tongue. It went on for a while but was pretty repetitive.
And that is it, i hope that the REM rebound i set up will pay off tomorrow.

Only one sleep and one dream last night, but i have almost completely forgotten it.
I think the problem is that i don't write down my dreams straight away.
I should write them down with pen and paper first before getting out of bed, i always remember the whole dream but then having woken up i forget bits.
FRAGMENT:
A school friend asking me, rather violently, to go to a classroom in my school.
and
Being on a large bridge again, it seems bridges really are a dream sign.

Lots of stuff happened last night. I slept from 10:15, had a WBTB attempt at 5:00 and then another at 6:30.
I dreamt a whole dream until 5:00 and remembered it when i woke up but then i forgot it all i have is a fragment:
Again on a bridge looking out to sea.
Then there was whole dream and a fragment.
Fragment:
I was hitting a ball with a bat, i was in clapham common in London which is where i lived as a child.
Dream:
I was a student studying at a university and i was looking into mountains, there had been a recent happening where a inverse mountain had been made, a sort of mountain shaped crater so i remember flying in a helicopter to take a look, it was pretty interesting, a really fun dream.
The i had a really short lucid dream.
Im in a court house standing in a stand as a lawyer and accusing someone of something, someone watching starts levitating. It starts to get really hazy.
I realise that I'm dreaming i don't even need to RC.
I start walking around the room looking at the people, it looks really vivid at this point, but then it starts to fade. I don't think that i did anything cool, the vividness fades and i can't stop it. Eventually i just wake up.
So quite a lot happened,

Right so i had a WBTB attempt tonight, as i said it is partly natural so as long as i have a mantra on it before bed it always wakes me up around 6:00. Anyway i got only got two fragments tonight:
FRAGMENT ONE:
I was with my parents in a cafe, not at all sure what was going on, i just have the image of there faces and the location.
FRAGMENT TWO:
I was on a bridge, in a car and i think it was the sevens, the one that goes from England to Wales.

Bridges seem to be a dream sign of mine for the moment, i am going to make a reality check focused on them.

Okay right i had some strange results last night.
I slept from 10:30 until about 6:30, had some good dreams in this period however i did not attempt my EILD using my phone for my 6:40 to 7:20 sleep. I dreamt in both of these sleeps though:
Sleep one:
I was first on a yacht. I sing in a few choirs at school and for some reason on the boat i was with the largest of these choirs, sailing to a concert we were going to perform at. The weather was first good and then it got awful. There were strong winds and dark skys (here there are fragments of being on a ship with Napoleon in a strong storm as well) I was talking to my friends on the yacht, we were talking about weather or not we should turn back and call the concert quits, however the teacher who runs the choir told us we would not go back, very stance . Now the dreamscape changes and I'm at the concert, as it is with most the concerts we do, we sing for a very short time and then embark on another very long joinery to get back. It was a very awkward venue as well, incredibly crowded and it took ages for us to file out.

Any way, my parents were taking me from the concert so i said goodbye to my friends and all. Then i remembered that i had forgot to bring any revision for my GCSE exams next week which was clearly awful . Never mind we are only going to tibet for two days says my mother. The travelling is skipped over here and the dreamscape changes to something that definitely isn't Tibetan but is obviously supposed to be, we are in a sort of modern day city but we are staying in a building just outside on a hill, next to the Dalai Lama. I have vague memories of cycling back and forth from the city to the house, but nothing specific. We ate out a few times as well. I also cooked, (interesting to note that the meals were a smoked salmon and potato fish cake with poached egg, which is interesting to note because before i went to sleep i emailed my mum to get the ingredients for this when i come home over the weekend) I cook it and it is great, i have a vague memory of eating it but nothing specific.

Then the dream scape changes again and I'm now out of Tibet (or whatever it was supposed to be) and in a rival schools courtyard. Im there hoping to see a friend and i call up to a window if anyone knows where he is, 'Some jerk calls back that its their prep time so they are all working, he says it like a complete snob, this drives me mad and i rush inside, i then wake up.

Second sleep:
This one is much more hazy, (from 6:40 till 7:20):
I fall asleep and I'm in the strange city which was supposed to Tibet again. Im with some friends of mine from London who i don't see very often and we are going around the city shopping, and just looking for things to do, unfortunately all i remember is asking them whether they like living in a foreign city, REALLY ODD.

Right so a pretty weird night, I'm pretty angry theta i couldn't be bothered at 6:30 to plug in my headphones and set the EILD alarm, i have been getting to sleep at more around 10:45 recently because one of my dorm members keeps going out before this time and getting back late, if it continues i will have a word with him, after all it is the exam period.

I am english so my dates are day/month/year just in case someone is confused.

Notation and explanation of sleep etc.
Dreams
Minor lucidity
Major lucidity
No LCDs from 9:00 till 10:00, got to sleep pretty soon after 10:00 as i had a tiring day. I remember a small awakening sometime around 2:00 but fell asleep until 6:00 i dreamt in this period:
I was on a ancient greek ship, as you would expect from some movie like clash of the titans, there were DCs on the ship with me but no one important and i had the feeling i was in charge of them. We saw a large fortress in the sea. It was made out of stone and appeared to be Roman type architecture i related it to the colosseum for some reason but it was a lot less open. It stood on something i couldn't see under the water, but most of it was out of the water. I remember having very little armour and a bow, i think my mind used Perseus as the basis for my character in the dream as i had a bow, and could fly (i didn't check my feet for winged sandals ) i spent most of the dreams flying around the outside of the castle and shooting arrows a the skeleton guards, through arches. The climax was when i went inside i found a weird creature, now that i think about it, it was a red creature with a humanoid form, horns on its head, wings (dragon like and separated from its arms) and a devil like tail (reminds me of some creature out of doctor who with david tenant and Billie Piper, where Piper goes back in time and changes something and these weird evil creatures are made anyway it looked like one of them ). This bit is a little hazy, but my brother was there (who is 11 so four years younger than me) and he was by the monster and we were all on the edge of some kind of sandy coloured abyss, anyway the creature throws my brother off before i reach them and then i go mad and fly towards the creature, shoot it with an arrow and then cut off its head with a sword (hmmm don't know where that came from) and it falls into the abyss. It turns out the creature was some sort of time guardian and by killing it i rewind time to get back my brother, hey presto and i wake up.
It is 6:05, toilet break, then i fell asleep at 6:10:
This one is really hazy, but i was a superhero and had some vague powers with telekinesis and flying abilities, and i was in some sort of cave, coming from a house in a city, very strange. Anyway after messing around here, i can remember there being a story and an end, but not what it was. i woke up.
I did a reality check to check if it was a false awakening, it wasn't, but i think i accidentally DEILDed and fell back asleep very quickly.
I am squatting in a room with a golden light filling it, no distinguishable walls, but there is a ceiling. There are pebbles all over the floor, i remember falling asleep... ... and plug my nose, the air rushes in. I lift a stone with telekinesis and remember i should try to focus and calm myself and anchor myself in the dream. I start to focus, i close my eyes i can't open them. I rub my hands to try and focus on the dream but my eyes are awake (if that makes any sense) and they feel like a part of my physical body. I try for more than 20 seconds with the hand rubbing and then give up, and lose the dream.
The time was upon wakening 7:25 (I'm in a boarding school so i know in 5 minutes some jerk is going to come around ringing a bell, delighting in our evident misery, and all under the good excuse of waking us up for breakfast so i don't go back to sleep) and i get dressed and write this down on a piece of paper.

Fragmented sleep,
I used LCD screens from 9:00 till 10:00 and could not get to sleep until around 11:00.
I have no clear memories of dreams or of sleeping, as i fell to sleep and woke up in a fairly fragmented manner.
