Mydera

Dream One: I'm on a spaceship, I can see the metal doors and walls all around me. I notice Storm troopers (or maybe Clone troops, I'm just now learning the difference -_- and it was a dream) the Hanger starts to open and I think to myself, "Wait a minute, Storm Troopers don't exist, I'm dreaming!" I step through the door and wake up. I'm sitting at my computer and I'm annoyed because I think I've fallen asleep at the computer again (If you read my dream journal yesterday, you'll know I spent all morning dozing off if I sat still too long) I start to pull up dream views to type up the short Star Wars lucid dream, and end up waking up for real instead.

Dream Two: I'm playing Kid Icarus. I'm doing exceptionally well (I like the game, but I really suck at shooting games. I'm more of a rapidly push random buttons to win kind of girl, lol.) and I'm really excited, but then the enemies are flying farther and farther away and Pit's not catching up to them. I think it's ok because they're not attacking me, but it sucks because I can't get hearts without killing the bad guys. Then I hear someone shout behind me. I lower my 3DS and notice I'm on a raft in the middle of the river. There's a cop coming towards me on another raft (but he looks like a guard from Fable II, same face and outfit) and he's telling me I've drifted too far out into the rive and could get hit by a boat. I apologize, explain that I was playing my game not paying attention, and let him tow my raft inland. I drop my 3ds in the shallow water when we get on shore. I'm embarrassed and worried about my 3ds, but it end up working just fine, so I laugh it off and tell the guard that Nintendo products are like tanks. (True story, I bought a DSiXL a couple years ago, and set it on top of the car to buckle the kids in. I forgot to take it off. Down the road it flew off the top of the car at 45 mph and hit the road, popped it open and the game cartridge out. One of the buttons got jammed b/c of the road scraping the plastic on top of it, but as soon as we got the button pried back out, it worked just fine. I love my Xbox and PlayStations, but the Nintendo products I've owned are soooo much more durable!) Anyways, the dream skips to me being inside, but we're at the old house I grew up in and I'm trying to decide if I want to go back out to the lake or if I want to go to the Renaissance Festival. I'm having a touch time trying to decide, but luckily I wake up and don't have to choose after all!

Dream Three: I'm waiting on my husband. We're in a hurry to get some stuff done, but I don't remember what. I think I wanted us to get some stuff in case the power went out during a big storm we were expecting. My husband was taking entirely too long, so I decide to get in the car and go by myself to get a few things then come back to get him. I'm in the car driving to the store, when I come around a curve there's a car in the middle of the road, parked across the road. I don't have time to stop and end up clipping the back of the car causing it and me to spin. I can't get my car to stop (dream physics) so I end up spinning and pushing the break and tearing into this field. I get out when the car finally stops and rush over to the other car. I'm sooooo worried and start yelling, "Is everyone ok?!" There's an old man who seems to have seen the whole thing and he says everyone's going to be ok, there's a doctor on the way. Then I'm trying to apologize for the whole thing, and there girl and guy in the car tell me it's ok, it wasn't my fault, they were the ones parked in the middle of the road. I'm still feeling horrible for hitting them though. The guy is laying on the ground, he seems to have a hurt leg and be really sick. I'm worried that my insurance is going to go way up, that I'm going to get a ticket, and that our cars going to not work anymore. I start crying and decide to call my husband and let him know whats happening, hoping he can make me feel better. I pick up the phone and wake up. I think this was a false awakening or I only partially woke up, because I woke up thinking I was in a different house (the one from my childhood again) but just rolled over and went back to sleep, and this time I woke up for real, and way too freaked out to go back to sleep.

Just wanted to take a moment to write that apparently Benedryl makes me lucid. I've usually avoided the stuff since just one pill makes me stay in that hypnogogic (hynopompic?)state where your half awake and half asleep and it looks like things are in the room with you and you fee like your falling and all that. But I've been having more trouble with seasonal Allergies this year, and have taken it three times over the last two weeks because I wanted to be sure I was well rested without fighting the stuffy nose and pressure. All three times I've taken it, I have been lucid at some point in the night. Now I'm in the delima where part of me wants to take it more often so I can get lucid more often, another part of me feels like that's cheating and I should stop taking it so that when I'm lucid I know I got there on my own.

Didn't dream much last night. I didn't sleep well the first half of the night bc of allergies. I took some Nyquil in hopes of getting some sleep, which pretty much sabotaged any chance of really remembering dreams.


Dream One (Fragment): I'm standing next to a computer desk. There's a little old lady sitting sideways at it, and her cat is looking over her lap at the computer screen. The Cat starts getting really excited because a screen name "CoolKitty57" logs on and it's the cat down the street. Apparently this cat has a thing for the cat down the street. I think that this is so cute, I have to tell my bff about it because she loves cats. I turn to look behind me and there's a tv with golf on.

Dream Two: I am in an SUV going through a drive through. I pay for my food, and pull to the next window, but the lady at the next woman is smoking a cigaret and wearing a ball down. She looks at me for a minute, then says they're closed. I tell her I just paid for my food they can't be closed. She informs me I've missed the second window for the drive through and that I am now at the drive through window for "Lusty Lust" I can only imagine what sort of joint that is I turn around to go find the second drive through window, and it end up being inside the building! I actually drive my SUV into the fast food place to get my food. I think this is the strangest drive through I've ever seen, then wake up.

I had several hypnagogic (I know that can't be spelled right, but firefox isn't giving me an alternative) hallucinations all morning though b/c the nyquil wasn't wearing off fast enough and I couldn't seem to wake up. I'd be sitting at my computer, then suddenly I'm seeing a naked woman or a pirate ship or a zombie and get startled awake, realizing I'd started dozing, ha ha. Planning on getting a nap when my husband gets home, hopefully that'll produce a dream or two of real quality.

Dream One (Fragment): I can remember seeing Skylanders stickers and stuff, and that's about it. Pretty sure I had this dream because we spent the better part of 4 hours going from store to store last night trying to get my kids the last 5 figures they needed to complete their collection. We got lucky and found a few in Walmart and then found the last 2 online at normal prices (I refuse to pay scalper prices!).

Dream Two: I'm walking through an old Victorian house. Everything is in greys and purples, and even the furniture looks old, so everything is super creepy. A girl with long beautiful anime like blond hair walks in. Her hair goes down to her knees and billows like normal hair wouldn't. She makes a fist, but sticks out her pointer and middle finger, then does a fancy flourish with them that involves making a circle and snapping her fingers and saying some word that starts with an I, but I can't remember now what that word was. When she does, the room glows faintly green and her fingers glow greenish as if she drew some of the green energy out of the room and to her. Then a ghost like creature appears (not human, looked more like some random anime Yokai ) and she points to me with her fingers. When she motions to me, the monster starts flying my way. Afraid it will attack me I open the closest door and find myself standing in an old street, similar to the alleys in "From Hell". I see a carriage drive by quickly but ignoring me. Suddenly I think to copy the girls movements and try to summon a ghost yokai of my own to fight back with. I say the word and twist my fingers, but I can't figure out how to snap both fingers at once so I skip that part. A ghost yokai comes out of the ally and flies through me to attack the creature that was just coming up behind me. The two yokai merge and become one, then fade away because their energy is unstable fused. They both want to go after different targets after all. Then, a man in a suit and a top hat with long hair appears, he seems to have come from the front door of the house while I was standing in the side door. He tips his hat at us, and the other girl runs away. He turns to me and asked if I am the one who summoned the creature in the alley. I nod, and tells me I did the spell wrong, but still managed to call a creature strong enough to protect me, that was impressive. I tell him I didn't know what I was doing, I was just copying the other girl when she attacked me, and he tells me that is "Most interesting" then wanders off out of the house, down the street the way the horse and carriage had gone earlier. I follow him, scared to be alone with all these monsters around, but since I don't know him I tail behind him about 20 feet or so. He doesn't seem to notice me at first, but then we are standing in front of a castle, and he asks without even turning around, "Well, will you come in then?" as if he knew I was there the whole time and choose to ignore me. I nod, scared to stand outside by myself, and I follow him inside really so the doors can't close before I make it safely inside. Once inside, everything has a sad and creepy vibe to it. Similar to the house, only instead of being scary, it was just depressing. The man walks into a room, not even bothering to turn on a light, and points to a dresser. He asks me if I can feel anything in the dresser. I'm confused, so he demonstrates the summoning technique and the bed glows green. I try the technique again, this time though I can't even do the flourish so I just say the word and hold my two fingers out. The dresser in front of me glows purple, and has sad and apathetic smiley faces all over it ( ) I'm confused, I thought it was supposed to glow green! I tell the guy as much and that I've never seen things glow purple before, and he tells me neither has he, "Yet here this dresser does. Fascinating, yes?" I nod unable to really form any words at the moment. Then there's a crying man walking in from the hall way, and I think he looks like a prince. He's crying, and asks the man if he has found his sister yet. The man smiles, and says that he is making progress, but the mans sisters reincarnation would not remember him regardless. And that's all I can remember, I know the dream went on, and I woke up thinking I was the sisters reincarnation, but I can not recall the later events

Dream Three (Fragment): I was driving on the interstate and needed to get off at an exit that's been closed for years, but in the dream it was open! I got off the exit just to get trapped in road work (they really are repairing that bridge at least) There wasn't really much detail to go into.

Dream Four: I dreamed that my husband calls me to move my car so he can park his car first in the driveway (we drive my car almost everyday, and his maybe once a week, so we keep his parked up front to avoid playing musical cars every time we have to go somewhere!) I walk outside, and notice I'm in sleep clothes (a tank top and a pair of my husbands boxers) I'm not comfortable walking outside without a bra on because I know some of my adult neighbors are pervs (and not quiet about it either), and there are some teenagers in the neighborhood that always make me uncomfortable. (The kids in the neighborhood used to ask if my dad would let me come out and play, until they found out that what they thought was my dad was really my husband, lol. Then they'd forget that fact and ask again two days later for the first couple months we lived here ) Anyways, my husband is sitting in his car impatiently, so I suck it up and just go move the car. I'm completely covered so it's not that big a deal, I know I'm just making it one. I notice as I'm moving the car there's an old man and a teenage boy moving boxes into a house that's been for sale for ages. I park the car and go inside, but my husband stays outside for who knows what reason. I decide to put some actual clothes on instead of running around in my tank. So for some dumb reason I walk into the kitchen and start taking off my boxers thinking I'm going to put the dirty clothes in the hamper, then go to the bedroom naked. As soon as I get my boxers off, just as I'm grabbing the bottom of my tank, the front door opens! The new teenager is walking into my house uninvited! One of the kids who've been around here since we moved in is following him and he's yelling at him, "Dude! You can't just walk in uninvited!" I'm in complete shock, standing there half naked, for half a second I don't know what to do, but then I dash off to the back of the house and my bedroom and close the door! I change so quickly I can't even remember how I changed or what I put on. Then my bedroom door opens and it's the new kid again. I flip out on him, ask him what his freaking problem is and hasn't he ever heard of fucking privacy?! Then the other kid is in the living room and he shouts to the back, "I tried to stop him! But there is no way I'm going back there knowing your naked!" I thank him for at least having some freaking manners then tell them if they don't get the hell out of my house I'm going to call my husband in here to kick both their asses! They leave when I threaten this, but the thought of my husband kicking anyone's ass is pretty funny. He's nerd to the core, and probably couldn't hurt a fly, lol. I do something in the house in the dream, but can't remember what it is, then I realize my husband still hasn't come inside yet and it's been forever since he got home! I walk outside, and he's sitting in the street chatting with the kids in the neighborhood (the teenagers and the younger kids) I go out to find out what's taking so long, and it turns out they're talking about video games from when I was younger. He asks me if I can give the kids better gaming advice since he was a computer nerd not a gamer. The dream ends with me trying to tell the kids how to beat some boss or something in Majora's Mask. I'm sure this whole dream was sparked by the fact that my husband left his phone in the car last night. When he realized it he was already in his boxers, and I was wearing a nightgown. It was clingy and low cut, but it covered everything and it was like midnight, so I sucked it up and went out to find his phone instead of him going out in his underwear. Turns out the phone was hidden in a compartment I didn't even know my car had, so I spent a good five minutes outside in my nightie trying to find his stupid phone. None of the lights were on in the neighbors houses so I knew everyone was in bed asleep, but I couldn't help feeling like I was naked in public anyways, lol. This dream just rehashed those feelings to make it even more awkward.

Dream ??? (fragment): Just remembered this, it's not in my notes so I'm not sure if it's a forgotten part of another dream or a dream all in it's self, but I can recall being in a parking deck type structure. The whole thing was metal and concrete, but there were no cars, just ramps and speed bumps. I was looking for someone, it felt like a video game where I was clearing out one room at a time of bad guys. The next room was going to have a big bad monster boss in it, and I needed some help from another player to fight it. The other player was hiding underneath one of the parking deck ramps. I was yelling at him that we needed to get a move on, but he was scared and wanted to "prepare". I kept thinking that there was no way to prepare past what we'd already prepared, he was just stalling for time and I was impatient.

I slept really hard last night, and my dreams are hazy fragments. I'm going to attempt to put them into words though

Dream One: I'm in a car with my husband and children. We're driving around an abandoned gas station. Everything has a red and rusty quality to it, and I remember thinking it all looked really beautiful in it's decay, like something you'd see in a movie where they've used a special camera lens to emphasis the red. I'm on the phone, I think with my mom, and she's asking us about the gas station. She's telling us there's one pump there that still works, but we're having a hard time finding it. Then we drive by some shiny new looking pumps, but don't stop. My notes also say "TV filming, school papers" but I'm not sure what that was about, I just can't remember.

Dream Two: I'm in a cafeteria. It reminds me of my Elementary school cafeteria, but they bulldozed that place 13 years ago, lol. I'm sitting with a guy, his hair is dark, and about as long as mine. He's not the strong and manly type guy that are usually in my dreams, but rather shy and sweet. We're watching a video of an anime convention on my phone. We're watching as my grandma and my mom are at this convention trying to win some sort of crown. My grandma wants to win it for my daughter, but my mom wants to win it and keep it for herself. My mom wins, and grandma is very upset. Suddenly, there's some sort of attack on the cafeteria. The guy's leg is hurt, so I throw his arm over my shoulder and try to help him hobble out. we rush out of the school and there are people running everywhere freaking out. We pass my dad who I just know is a teacher in this dream, and my dad is going to lock himself in his office. He tells us to be careful and go straight home. We pass my mom too, and I ignore her. I'm pretty fed up with her greed in real life, and the crap with the crown in the dream just made it that much worse. We get out to the car, and I helped the guy into it. I take him home and drop him off, but then go to Mcdonalds instead of home. When I get to Mcdonalds my husband and kids are siting at a table eating. I place an order, and the guy behind the counter says something suggestive to which my husband tells him to back off. I get the feeling my husband and the guy are friends and I just don't know him. There's a lot of dialog that I can't much remember, but I remember the topic of miniskirts coming up, and my husband saying he hates mini skirts and glaring at me when he says it. In the dream, I am wearing a mini skirt, but I'm confused because he's always loved them (what guy doesn't? lol) At some point an employee leaves, and then the friend of my husbands says he needed to tell the employee something and asks my husbands permission to run outside. My husband lets him, and he runs out to chase the guys car. He comes back and starts talking again though. The topic moves on to Kingdom Hearts, and this friend of my husbands wants to play the games. I ask him what platforms he needs the games for because we have all of them except the 3DS game that isn't even out yet. Just as I ask some bitchy girls yell over at us that the radio is too damn loud, and if we work there we need to turn it down. My husband sighs and gets up and goes to turn off the radio. I somehow realize he must be doing IT work for the Mcdonalds and that's why he knows everyone there so well and is even going back to deal with the radio. When my husband disappears into the back, the friend jumps up and says he didn't take his meds and he can't control himself anymore! He starts going crazy, dry humping the tables and chairs and then starts coming after me! I push him back and tell him to knock it off. He's not stopping and I'm getting really annoyed and embarrassed, and I wake up. Looking back, the guy totally reminds me of a kid I went to school with who was on Ritalin for ADHD. Pretty sure that part of the dream was a direct result of me being overly aware of my own ADD yesterday, and my sub conscious expressing my fear of how people might see me. I'm not hyperactive or anything, but my attention and conversations really jump around. It's like that old joke, where someone's talking and stops mid sentence to say, "Oh look a squirrel!" then goes right back on topic.

Going to do this a bit backwards and write the last dream of the night first since it was my lucid and my memory wasn't great last night. I had migraines and trouble sleeping, so I had aleve and benedryl in my system, generally mucking up any chance I had of remembering the stuff from the first part of the night.

Dream Four: I'm at Walmart with my husband and my daughter. We're looking for that paper for preschoolers with the ABCs printed on it that you trace to learn how to draw your letters. For some reason we're looking in the pharmacy. We keep finding loose single sheets in the bins, and even a book that's been broken and ripped, but we can't find anything new and still in the package. I recall there being some stationary around the Electronics department so I tell my husband we should go back there and look. He grabs my hand and we start walking towards the electronics department. I think he's pulling the buggy with his other hand, then realize I don't hear my daughter and look back to see he's not. I freak out that he left her, and he says he'll go back and get her he's sorry, and to just go ahead and go look for the paper. I agree, and then walk towards electronics. I walk past the toy department and see my son with my mom picking out a toy, but keep walking on a mission. I find the paper, and then my husband and mom both show up with the kids in tow. Then either time skips or I'm missing the events, but the next thing I can remember I'm getting my Daughter out of the car. I'm in a garage, and our car is a black SUV. I set my daughter down and realize somethings off. I don't drive a black SUV, and we don't have a garage. I call out for my husband to get over here quick! He asks what's wrong, and I tell him, "This is a dream! I'm dreaming, or we're dreaming. I'm lucid!" I'm practically jumping with excitement. He shakes his head and just looks totally confused, so I just tell him to watch the kids. For some reason, after my daughter being lost earlier in the dream I just can't stand the idea of walking away from them even though I know they're only dream characters. I run out across the yard and onto the road. I notice that our house isn't even on our road anymore, instead it's about ten minutes away in the fields next to Drum's (a local restaurant). I want to fly, so I try hopping, skipping, and jumping, with no luck. I'm annoyed, but think it's ok, if I can't do one thing, I'll try something else! I think to myself, I'm going to pull a magic wand out of my pocket and then I won't have to worry about things not working, because I'll have magic! But there's nothing in my pockets I get this bright idea that I'm going to go into the house and get my daughter's toy magic wand, that'll work just as well in a dream. I go inside, and into the bedroom. I notice that the room is an exact mirror image of my room in waking life. I find it cool how everything is exactly opposite of usual. Then I feel fuzzy headed and think, "Crap! I'm waking up!" but then when I blink my eyes and "wake up" I realize I'm not in bed, I'm on the floor. I think for a moment that I must have fallen out of bed, but then I realize I can feel carpet on my cheek, and my house has hardwood floors. I'm still dreaming! I get up and the room has made a 3/4 turn shift so everything is the wrong way, but I don't much care, I've already marveled over the room, I just want to go do something cool! I grab the toy magic wand off the bookshelf, then head back outside. My husband is still in the garage with the kids, and I tell him again that I'm dreaming, and he still seems confused. I shrug and go back out to the road. The house is in a different spot again, but I don't pay much attention to it. Instead I decide that my belief in this being a dream is just not strong enough to let me do what I want, so I'm going to prove to myself it's a dream and push it to the extreme. I lay down in the road in front of a Semi. I close my eyes and listen to it getting closer and closer, waiting for it to hit me, but knowing it wouldn't. I look up a few times, and the truck never gets any closer, even though it appears to be moving. I decide to try now to bring something into the dream. Knowing a wand didn't work, I try bringing in Renji from Bleach by visualizing since I had accidentally brought him into my last lucid that way. I figure if I can do it on accident so easily, I shouldn't have any problem doing it on purpose. Fail I get up and go back inside remembering that I was going to get a toy wand earlier. I walk into the room, grab the toy wand off the books shelf, then walk towards the door and start feel fuzzy headed again. CRAP! I wake up, once again on the floor, this time though I know it's another false awakening because I feel for the carpet right away. Unfortunately, I don't have the wand anymore, instead I'm holding one of those Sugar crystal formations on a stick.

I decide to go with it, the dreams jumping around so much, rather than fight it and wake up frustrated I'll just do what I can with what I'm given. I take my magic rock candy outside, but drop it in the grass as soon as I step off the porch. I shrug, and pick it up telling myself, "This is a dream, there's no dirt on this thing!" then I take a bite, so at least I can be happy that I've tasted food for the first time in a lucid if I wake up without having done anything else. It tasted like grass... then when I told myself over and over that no grass was on it because this is a dream, the grass taste went away and it tasted awesome, just like the real thing I take a moment to look at the road again. This time, instead of being in the middle of a pale green and yellow field with a straight road in front of us, the house is sitting on a hill with the darkest lushest grass I've ever seen, and the road zig zags in front of the house. Sort of like an s curve in the road, only with sharp corners instead of curves. I set off down the road to my left, suddenly thinking I've accomplished something cool, I ate in a lucid, so now I'm going to go looking for K since it's been a long time since I've done that or even seen him for sure in a non lucid. I notice some teenage kids in the road across the street from the house, so I start by asking them if they know K and can take me to him. One kid grins all creepy like the Cheshire cat, and he tells me his older brother knows K and could take me to him, I just have to come inside and wait for his brother to get home. His creepy unnatural smile bugs me, so I refuse saying I'll wait outside. He tells me that if I don't go inside his brother can't take me. I tell him thanks, if his brother changes his mind I'll be up the road, but I'm not stupid enough to go inside. Then I start thinking to myself that maybe I could get my husband to take me to him since hes a dream character too and in previous dreams he's known who K was. Then I decide that it's probably not a good idea, seeing as how K's been my love interest in many a dreams, and just because he was friend with K in one dream, doesn't mean his dream character is going to be happy to take his wife to find another man, lol. So instead I keep walking and thinking. Hm, I read a post about controlling your lucids like a video game, and I carrying my 3DS around with me everywhere, maybe I could use that somehow? I pull it out of my pocket with no problems (In waking life, I always carry it in my bag, it's way too big to fit in my pants pockets. I envy how guys pants have so many big pockets to carry stuff in!) then I open it up, and look for a lucid dream game. No luck. But then I realize if I'm in a dream, maybe I can send a message to K with the swap note app and it'll go to whatever electronic devices his dream self may be carrying. As I walk I open up swap note, but don't recognize anyone on my friends list. Then I realize, no wonder, I'm logged in as my daughters Mii! So, I log off and log in as my Mii (you really can't do that on a 3DS, there's no log ins or log outs, lol) then I scroll on my friends list with this idea of what I think K's Mii might look like. I don't see a Mii with the hair I thought his should have on it, but I do see one with a really odd hairstyle that I've never seen on a Mii before and decide that has to be K because it sticks out so much and is so different from all the others. I've only met K in dreams, and he always sticks out. He doesn't feel empty like other Dream Characters, instead he actually has an energy like feel, like real people in real life do. I start to send a message to that Mii, but I find that there's already a message written to him, and assume it's from a previous dream, maybe when I was non lucid I tried this before. The note tells him where I am, but it's the wrong place, so I'm trying to erase it to write the correct place and I can not get it to erase. I'm surprisingly laid back in my dreams, and when it doesn't work the way I want to, I decide to find a way around it. I'm going to send a message to someone else and ask them to forward it to him. I find a random Mii, a female, and send her a message that I'm looking for K and to please have him get in touch with me. Then My 3DS turns into a phone, and it's ringing. I put it up to my ear and it's the girl I had messaged. I'm still walking down the road and am coming up on a house i lived in about 6 years ago, and the girl starts going off on me. She's telling me that I need to leave K alone, that he's working really hard to take care of his family and he's under a lot of stress right now, the last thing he needs is me expecting him to take care of me too. I'm both hurt and pissed by her statements, and I storm towards (and eventually inside) the house I used to live in while I fuss right back at her. I try to defend myself by saying I understand he has his own things to do, and I don't want him to have to take care of me. I just want to see him, and if he's trying to take care of a family, I'd like to help him. Then I hang up on the girl because she just keeps going on and on, and I get the impression that she's trying to get me out of the picture because she's hung up on him too, lol. I'm inside my old house, and I am walking around inside it looking for K. My lucidity is slipping, but I don't notice it, instead I just accept the dream fact that this house is now home to a bunch of squatters with no where else to live. I think that if K is struggling to take care of a family (not sure if this point if we're talking wife and kids family, or brothers and sisters family, lol) that he's likely to be somewhere like this. I walk out the back door, and see some people, but none of them are K so I just wave and keep looking around. I go to the front yard and up the driveway, then I see a black SUV driving up the road. I walk up to the road where the SUV has stopped. A guy with blond hair, but short cut and his face looks failure but is definitely not K, gets out. An older woman walks off the porch and up to the SUV. She starts laying into the guy, telling him he has no right to be here. Somehow K comes up, and I ask if the guys knows him. The woman says she's K's mom, and that the guy is his older brother that she kicked out of the house at the age of 5. I'm shocked she'd do that to her kid, but she starts saying he was always surrounded by women, even pregnant ones, and she was sick of all the hussies around her house. The guy is trying to defend himself saying she's crazy and off her rocker and he did no such thing, she just makes this shit up to justify what a bitch she is. I'm just like, "Wow, age 5?! How is that even possible?!" Then I decide this conversation is none of my business even if they do know K, they're not going to take me to him if they're fighting. I turn around and start walking back down the driveway towards the house hoping I'll find some other clue to K's whereabouts. I notice there are tents going down the driveway, and some people poke their heads out and wave at me. I smile and wave back, but then wake up. I didn't open my eyes and hope to fall back asleep and do a DEILD but I'm too excited about the fact that I was lucid and actually did stuff that I couldn't fall back asleep. I tried getting up and going to the bathroom then laying back down, no luck. I spent about 45 minutes trying to fall back asleep before giving up and coming in here to type all that out, lol.

Dream Three: I dreamed that I'm watching from third person as a man (whom I understand in the dream to be myself) is shot by another man in the back and killed. Then I spend most of the dream watching as the other man claims that I was trying to kill him so he killed me first. Some people can see my ghost and I tell them what really happened, but then some police see my ghost and try to arrest me. I wonder what it's like for a ghost in jail, because a ghost has no life to end a life sentence, I'd be there for eternity, and I don't like that idea.

Dream Two: My notes say Skylanders, so I must have dreamed of that game.

Dream One: My notes say "Another" which is an Anime on Crunchy Roll right now. I just finished it yesterday, and it was REALLY good but since it was Horror and pretty disturbing, I'm glad I didn't remember this dream after resting the whole night, lol. I figured I'd dream of it because it was on my mind a lot and I wanted to re-watch it and see all the little Clues I missed the first time around.

Dream One: I'm at a bar and grill type restaurant, like maybe an Applebees type place. A friend I haven't seen in years, we'll call her G, was with me and we were sitting with three guys. I know there's someone that I'm there with, but he's not at the table, he's gone to the bathroom or something. G wants to do something funny, so she takes a picture of me out of her purse and tapes it to the booth beside us thinking she'll trick him into thinking I'm sitting over there when he gets back. Then she tries to drag me to the bathroom so He won't see me before the picture. I'm trying to tell her to knock it off but she won't listen and drags me about ten feet away. Luckily, the guy comes around the corner and asks where we're going. G says to the powder room, but I say no where and walk back tot he table with him. He looks at the picture and kind of laughs, then says it was a cute trick but the picture was way too revealing for public. I look closer at the picture and the front of the shirt in the pick is drooped so you can see the top of my cleavage, I'm suddenly pretty mortified and yank the picture down. One of the guys at the table laughs and I jokeingly say to him, "You guys are trying to kill me aren't you?" Then the guys are talking about something, it sounds like business, and I'm bored so I get up and go out the front door of the restaurant to get fresh air. The guy I was with comes out and grabs me by the arms. He starts interegating me, telling me that I have to be careful, and can't pull silly stunts that draw attention to me like my friend had just done. Then he tells me I'd better not tell the people at the table that I spent time in some other country. The he asks me what it was I was doing in that other country, and I have this flashback of me running with a Griffin across a rocky landscape. I refuse to tell the man I'm with about it though, knowing I'll sound crazy. Then the guy tells me I just need to be careful, because one of the other guys at the table would find out everything he can about me and use it against me if it would be to his advantage. I pull away about to tell him that I don't care, but I wake up instead.

Dream Two: I'm in a library or community job center or something. There's a bunch of computers in a U shape, and a lady behind a desk on the only empty wall. The lady behind the desk is talking to a man at the first computer to my right, so I'm between them. I turn to look at the man, and it's Renji from Bleach! He's telling the woman at the desk about Skype and how to use it. I pipe in with a few things, even though I've only used Skype a couple times. Renji looks up at me and smiles like he's glad I'm there, then I feel the world around me going black and realize it was a dream just as I'm waking up. I hear a voice in my head say, "Dragon Parody Productions" as my body tingles and I'm finally awake. I usually don't feel tingly and unable to move before I wake up, but that's just sleep paralysis wearing off I think.

Dream Three: I'm in a really nice rented house at the beach with My BFF's mom. My kids call her Mai Mai because they can't say her name. I notice that the roof of the place is glass, and round, like a giant round green house. The glass is blue tinted, and there are white wood beams radiating from a white wood circle int he center of the ceiling acting to support the glass. The furniture and walls are all white and it it feels very beach like. My husband and I are talking to Mai Mai and she's pointing out what she's calling the "atrium" outside, but is actually a real green house. I think this place is amazing and I wish I had a house like it with my own private green house. There's another building on the property and I think it might be a barn. It's storming and I spend a good deal of time marveling over how beautiful it is to see the rain hitting the glass roof and watching it run down the glass walls. I'm briefly scared, what if it hails and the glass breaks? but then it stops storming and I see a horse running around in the fence outside. It's just a tiny baby horse, and it's soo cute with it's little baby horse mohawk. I walk out to pet it, and my dad shows up and starts petting the horse too even though he doesn't like horses. Then he and the baby horse start chasing each other around the padock and the horse becomes a little girl around 4 or 5. The little girl wants to go inside, so we do, but my dad disappears. Mai Mai has a phone that the little girl plays with, but then the little girl pops off the phone keys and loses them! We look for them and start talking about my mom. Then I comment that this little girl is sooo cute and ask Mai Mai who's kid she is. Mai Mai says she's not a real little girl, but a robotic one they used to teach parenting at the school she used to work for. I think there's no way this little girl could be a robot, but Mai Mai insists and the girl agrees and tells me she never grows up! I wake up.

Dream Four (Fragment): I dreamed of a dragon. I thought the dream was awesome and I wanted to be extra sure I'd remember it so even though I was so sleepy I wanted to go back to sleep I went to write it down. As soon as I started to lift my hand to reach for the phone, I felt this wave of calm soothing me to go back to sleep and not worry about writing it down. It almost worked, but my son woke up at that moment and asked me if he could go into the living room. That made me fully awake enough that I pushed back the sleepyness and grabbed my phone. As soon as I looked at the screen my mind went completely blank. all I could remember was that the dream had been about dragons. I spent ten minutes trying to remember what it was about, then gave up and went back to sleep hoping it would come to me eventually. SO far it hasn't -_-

Dream Five: I'm standing in the middle of a storm, I call out to the clouds, asking for power. Lightening flashes, and I am sucked up into the sky. Suddenly I'm a child, looking up a spiral staircase. There's another little girl beside me whom I just know is my sister (even though I don't have one). We go up the stairs to find our mom, and see a door cracked open. We walk into the room, and my mom is laying there in the bed with a tv blasting away. She's not watching it though, she looks asleep. The little girl beside me calls out, "Mommy? Are you ok?" and mom snaps at us, she looks really scary and I'm trying to rush my sissy out of the room to safety. A female voice tells us not to worry, that everything will be ok, then she sets a red wand down on the nightstand by my mother and closes the door. I can't remember what the woman looked like though. I can hear her telling my mother to take the wand, and I hear my mother suddenly change to a nice voice and say she's sorry for being so mean and that it's hard for her to live right now. I turn away from the door, not wanting to hear her excuses, and then the light flashes and I'm big again. I'm dressed in blue, something similar to Aqua from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Two green wands appear in my hands, then they change color to blue grey to match my clothing. I hear myself saying, "The one that's fast is mine. The one that is strong is also mine." The wands glow white for a moment, then transform into a sword and a fighting staff. Then I see an ocean, and there are two ships on it. The first ship explodes, and I see two ninja like figures leap from the smoke to the second ship's mast. Then, another ninja like person jumps out of the smoke and the first two explode. I just know they've died. Then I see the inside of a ship, where people who look similar to Bleach captains and lieutenants are sitting. I say similar, because they don't look like cartoons, nor do they look like cosplayers, but I can tell who they are because their facial features match up to what the drawings look like. Their hair is normal looking, not spikey like a cosplayers would be. They are seated around a table, talking and drinking tea. There's a loud noise outside, and they open the door to have bad guys bursting in on them. They start punching and swinging their swords, knocking the bad guys into a purple misty like portal of some sort. Then they sit back down and are listening to some message from a fallen soul reaper. It's the ghost of one of the two ninjas I saw before. It's saying they had completed their mission, but on their way back they were ambushed. I wake up.

Dream One: I was at the river, in a sail boat. I see a tipped over sail boat, and decide to pull on a string attached to it to right it. I pull the string inland, but just as I'm about to reach the dock the string pulls me backwards and almost off my boat and into the water before I let go! I look back, and the sail boat has become a cruise ship and has tipped. I turn to look for someone to help, then turn back and it's a sinking Pirate ship. I wake up.

Dream Two: I'm watching something about Psychic warfare on TV. My mom is there and when I ask her a question about the show, she tells me to talk to her Friend R, because R knows everything about psychic stuff. I ask R, and she starts to give me an answer, then she starts talking in Gibberish. I ask her what she's talking about, and she says she doesn't know. I ask her about Psychic warfare again and she tells me there's no such thing and not to be silly! Then I suddenly know there are soldiers outside the house and they're going to try to silence me because R did know something and let it slip before they rewrote her memories. A smoke bomb flies through my window, then I wake up.

Dream Three: There were Skylanders in the dream but that part is fuzzy and I don't remember anything but seeing legendary Trigger Happy on the screen. Then my husband was talking to his father about snakes in the yard with swollen bodies. (This was during my nap because I only slept 2 hours last night due to sick kids and thunder storms) The snake and swollen body bit was actually reality bleeding into my dream. My husband had Skyped my brother in the living room in the front of the house (I was in the bedroom in the back of the house) and the kids were watching my brother feed his pet snake. My husband was asking how long the snakes body would be swollen with the mouse inside it, and apparently I heard it in my sleep and my dreams attempted to explain this.

My kids took a nap, and I decided to take one too since I still feel like I haven't caught up on the weeks missing sleep. I was thinking about this mornings dreams when I went to sleep, and that definitely influenced the nap dream.

The earliest point of the dream I can remember, I think I was lucid. I remember wanting to wear a different shirt and changing my shirt, then being attacked by something. I grew big black bat wings (one of my lucid goals, but since I can't say for certain I was lucid, I'm not going to count it) and started fighting back with a blade or scythe of some sort from the air. Then, if I was lucid, I lost my lucidity because I heard a woman's voice ask, "Shouldn't you help her?" and then a man's voice say, "No, she will be fine. This is something she needs to do herself." I dealt the final blow and collapse. From there I can only watch as my body floats suspend in nothingness, like a big white void of anything. Think the loading room in the matrix. Then I see a man walk up to me, and pick me up. I realize that it's Vesta who I was disappointed I didn't get to see in my last dream this morning. He carries me and walks, but because the room is a giant void it looks as if he's walking in place, going no where. The woman's voice asks if I am alright, and he replies to her, "She is absorbing the things she is fighting. She doesn't have the power to beat them of her own, so she has absorbed them and begun to take on their qualities in order to gain the strength she needs to defeat them. She has already absorbed their resilient skin." (or something like that, sounded so much cooler in the dream, lol) I find myself thinking the skin I have absorbed is covering my wings, and they've turned red and scaly like a dragon instead of black and soft like a bat. Then the woman asks if that is healthy, and he tells her he doesn't know because he has never seen anyone do that with "them" (I kind of gather in the dream that whatever "they" are they are something I and I guess my dream characters, have never really dreamed of before and there fore do not know how to handle. Then the woman says something else that I can't remember because everything was getting really fuzzy and hazy like I was losing that third person consciousness and being sucked back into the body in Vesta's arms. I felt rather than saw, myself being set down, and then I opened my eyes and I was lying on water. I sit up, and look around, noticing that I'm in the middle of a pond at the park now, and that Vesta and the woman were no where to be found. I see a bench ahead, and think I see a friend sitting on it. I'm back to being completely dream stupid and not thinking hey, it's weird I'm sitting on water! And decide to pull out my phone and call the friend I think I see to ask her if we were supposed to meet at this park. She answers and says yes, so I tell her I am already there in the water behind her. I put up the phone and drop into the water, then swim over to the bench on the shore. As I'm climbing out of the pond I wake up. I found myself thinking that I had a really important dream and I needed to remember it, but as much as I wanted to it kept slipping away and I could literally feel myself panicking to stay awake and remember while my body was like, "Mphf, I'm comfy go back to sleep." Luckily my little boy came back into the bedroom to find me because he didn't know I had taken a nap too. If he hadn't woke up and come back and given me a reason to force myself awake I wouldn't have remembered the dream at all! lol

Dream One: I was in Kid Icarus (bought the game yesterday, and it was awesome enough to leave a good impression in my dreams, lol) Only instead of talking to the goddess Petulena (I could be wrong about that name, my brains still fuzzy) I was walking to a god, who talked like Yoda! lol He was telling me what to do, like teaching me how to fight with my new weapons.

Dream Two: My husband was offered a promotion, but to get it he'd have to go over seas and install cable in England or something. He was calling me on the phone to tell me this so I could think about it before he got home and we could discuss and decide that night. He needed an answer by the next day for work. I was both excited and upset. I was excited thinking that it'd be nice to have time to myself like when his work sent him to DC for a few months. At the same time though, I know it'll upset my kids and I think I'll probably miss him too. I also think it's really selfish of me to want him to go so I can have time to myself, when it'd probably make him very sad and homesick to go so far away. I think I called my best friend to talk to her about it, but then I woke up.

Dream Three: I'm supposed to be baby sitting my brother's new pet snake. In real life the snake is only a couple feet long and only and inch or two wide. In this dream, the snake was HUGE, several feet and at least as big around as my wrist. It's head alone as the size of my fist (bad comparison, my hands are small. It was about as big as a bottle of Mio water flavoring, just a bit bigger!) We had built a big cage for it similar to our cat cages out of wood and chicken wire. The Snake however, managed to somehow push the staples out of the chicken wires and was escaping the cage! I was freaking out! But I managed to get the snake back inside by luring it with a mouse or something, then hammered the staples back in and all was well, so we decided to get in the car and visit my brother. He was at some sort of school, and we were going to have lunch with him. Only, when we got to the school, we were late and the class was returning to the classroom. Suddenly it was a Sunday school class and they wanted us to all pray. I pretended, but I'm not really into the praying and god thing, so I mostly just ignored everything. Then we left, and I had to walk through a library to get home. There was a guy sitting in the library leaning back in his chair blocking the way. He said something to me when I wanted to get by, but I can't remember what it was. I just remember thinking he was smug and arrogant, in a bad boys are attractive kind of way, lol. That's all I can remember of that dream, but I think it continued a bit longer.

Dream Four/Five: These may have been separate dreams, but I'm pretty sure they're the same dream, so this is how I'm labeling them, lol. The dream starts out on a racetrack. It looks like a country drag strip. Not something like over commercialized and on tv, but something that the local community built out of concrete. I'm with a group of people, and there's a guy there that seems special to me. It's the end of the day and a storm is coming, everyone's calling it quits and we're going to find shelter. I tell the guy I'll see him again later, and reluctantly leave. The wind picks up, and I'm being blown back as I walk forwards into the woods. Some girls walk by and tell me to take off my jacket, the wind is catching it and that's what's throwing me back. I feel like these girls are somehow only half real, and like I'm superior to them, like I have some sort of special control of this world. I take my jacket off and hold it in a ball and get into the woods. I pass a small cottage house that looks like a strawberry. It's really old though, like some sort of play house in an abandoned theme park. I think to myself that's one of our houses, and I haven't been here to see these people in years. Another twenty feet there is a house inside a tree, similar to Twilight Sparkles house (or the Bernstein bears house if you've read those books as a kid). I instantly recognize this as the place where we all slept (whoever we all were) and I walk in. I think the place looks abandoned and wonder if anyone will stay here with me, or if I will be alone. I notice a tiny room to the right, maybe ten feet by ten feet with a three foot closet. I walk in and think this is my room. I remember a bunch of girls sleeping in the big room together, but this room was mine. I was special somehow, more powerful. Inside the room, I feel like it's bigger than it used to be. I ask myself out loud, "has this room always been so big?" and a girl walks up behind me. She laughs like I'm being ridiculous and tells me that "he" made it bigger when I left hoping that I'd come back one day. Then she tells me they are so glad I'm here because they really did need my power to help defeat the darkness. Then she goes to the end of the room where there's a window, and starts saying that "Gladis" missed me too. Then I realize there's light coming from the window, and it's dry, when it's actually raining outside. The window isn't a window at all, it's a built in terrarium with a giant snake in it. At least this snake isn't orange and black like my brothers snake, it was just a big boa so it was less scary. AT the same time, I'm thinking the snake is mad at me because I've been gone so long, and I tell the girl not to drag it out, it'll probably be aggressive towards me. The girl tells me I'm being silly, and pulls the snake out anyways. I walk out of the room, scared, and notice a nail on the wall in the big room, beside the door of my room. There are several necklaces hanging on it. I recognize them as tokens of my friendship with some of the other girls from this house. I briefly wonder to myself how a dream can replicate them so well. So I was vaguely aware that I was dreaming, but not enough to control or do anything. Then someone walks up behind me and acts like a snake biting my arm. I jump, but then realize it was a gold statue of some sort she pinched me with. I tell her not to scare me like that, and she laughs good naturally like it's all in fun. Then more girls are showing up. One asks me if I've got a crush on anyone new, typical girl stuff I guess. I find myself lonely at this question though, I think that Vesta should be here (not the goddess, lol. Not sure how to describe him, but this Vesta is a panther that can take human form I've seen in dreams, but before I met him in dreams I "felt" him like a ghost or something. I really can't explain without sounding crazy, ha ha!) I wonder if he'll be here, apparently in the dream I knew that the person who built this place, who made the special room for me, was him. I walk into the room and touch the walls, feeling soothing but lonely energy from them (like when you listen to a slow song when your lonely, it makes you feel better, even while it makes you feel lonelier) This is where I either woke up for real, or had a false awakening. The only thing I can remember is being in the Camaro with my husband and kids. I'm hearing a mans voice talking about reckless drivers, maybe on the radio, and My husband is driving recklessly. I fuss at my husband and he keeps driving like and idiot telling me he's driving fine! Then he almost hits a building! I'm like, "C! Your going to run into that building!!!" and he stops just in time then says, "Huh, this is my brothers shop. Lets stop in and say hi!" I tell him I just want to go to the hotel so I can go to sleep, he can come back after we get the kids to bed. He shrugs and says ok, then turns around and the hotel is behind us right beside the shop. We go into our room, and it's really ritzy. I find myself blown away by all the mirrors and crystal and glass in the room. I really want to go back to sleep so I can return to the tree house and see Vesta because it's been so long since I've seen him. My kids go to a little room in our suit to go to bed on their own (this never happens, they always have to have us in the room before they go to sleep, lol) and I think before I go to bed I'm going to put on some pretty smelling lotion so that when I see Vesta I'll smell pretty for him. My husband says he's going to leave to see his brother, and I can't get rid of him fast enough! I look out the window and notice it's getting dark as he's leaving. Then I see some coplayers dressed as Celty from Durarara!! and I jump up to run out the door my husband just left. I step out onto the side walk and scream, "CELTY!" the girls all stop and walk back to me and I'm wanting to get a picture, but I realize I don't have my camera and there's another girl who jumps up and starts interviewing the girls before I can even ask. I'm frustrated, and turn to walk back to the room so I can just go to sleep already and see Vesta, but then I freaking wake up for real, lol.

Last night was a short one, and while I have notes I wrote down, I can not for the life of me remember now what they were about.

Dream One Notes: Skylanders Move (I *think* I dreamed the Skylanders figurines were life sized and moved, pretty much, alive)

Dream Two Notes: Moms house, bad energy, someone sick, cats, storm (I have no idea what all that was about, I can't even hazard a guess except to say if mom was in it, it was probably a nightmare, lol)

Dream One: I'm in Walmart shopping the clearance racks. I'm so happy because I find a really cute velvet feeling dress for my daughter with Mickey Mouse on it, for a dollar! I'm thinking this is too good to be true, look at the tag again carefully and it's $5, but that's still crazy cheap so I toss it in my cart. My daughter is so happy! Then she sees a Mickey Mouse Bikini and wants it, but it's way to big for her and the only one they have left so I have to tell her no. Then I think to myself while I'm shopping clearance, I need to look for some tights in a size 5 for her to wear in the winter next year since winter stuff should be priced to move right now. I grab a couple pairs and I am so happy with my haul! Then I wake up... at the house I lived in 5 years ago! I don't notice anything is off though, so I go to the bathroom, then on my way back to bed my husband's in the hall and I start to tell him about the dream I just woke up from where I bought our daughter all this stuff. Half way into the story, I realize wait... this is the wrong house! I'm STILL dreaming! I get excited because I'm lucid! My husband tells me to come back to bed, and I decide since I'm lucid I'm going to fly down the hall since I really would like to try flying. I starts o jump into the air, but I find that I can't move at all. It's like my entire body is shut down and I can't move. I freak out a bit, and try to wake myself up. I wake up, thinking everything's ok I'm going to give it another shot at going to sleep and getting lucid. I open my eyes and briefly note that I'm laying in the hallway on the floor. I think I must have slept walked or something to be laying in the same spot I was standing in the dream. Then my daughter wakes me up and I realize it had all been false awakenings! Guess I need to start doing those reality checks when I wake up!

Dream Two: I'm in a run down mountain like town. I briefly think it's Shelby (where the Hunger Games was filmed) because I'm thinking I'm supposed to meet a friend who I know that lives there. But really the area looks more like the mountains, like somewhere near Ap or in WV like where some of my family lives. I'm walking down some stairs, pass a building that seems to be a single room school house. There's a package in the door way of the school, I check, but it's not for me. I'm hungry so I go inside this little cafe to the right. It's really fancy inside, I ask for a menu, and it's all expensive food and apparently it's all hunger games themed food so it seems really simple and not filling. Definitely not worth what they're charging. I take a to go menu and leave to look for a Mcdonalds. There's really nothing much in this place, and I recall my friends boyfriend telling me they filmed Hunger Games there because it was such a dreary depressing place. I turn around and walk back the way I came. I go back up the stairs and look out over the town from the more elevated path. Nothing. I'm pretty bored, and hungry. I decide to try walking the street again to see if I might have missed a good place to eat. I reach the bottom of the stairs and see a house door open. There's a woman standing there with someone that has a face that looks like it's made of tree bark and a BIG nose with something bushy and green on the end. The woman is saying, "It looks like your turning into an Ent! Mommy loves Ents, but they're not very cute are they?" I think this is really odd and try to shake off the feeling that something's not right here by walking past the school house again. The package is different. Whats going on?! My son wakes me up, lol. I think I was close to getting lucid again, but I'll never know now! ha ha

Dream Three: My son is wanting to take my husband and I downstairs to play Mario. I follow him, and think to myself wow, I didn't realize the basement looked like this! Then he's showing us how this Mario game is like virtual reality, and he has portals all over the basement where we can actually jump into levels. My husband tries to jump into one, but it doesn't let him through. My son says that's the Halloween level, we can only go in on Halloween! I'm really blown away by this basement, and think to myself why are we worrying about finishing off the basement when it's already so freaking nice? Lets just move in now! Then I realize that my kids are already living in one room of the basement in a futon style bunk bed. I explore a bit and find stairs that lead to a sub basement, and then I find two preschool classrooms and for some reason just assume they're for church or something and wonder why we're letting them hold Sunday school in the basement. Man, my dream self was dense last night! I find some of my Grandma's family sitting in one of the sub basements. I walk in, they all say hey, but they're in a heated discussion about something and mostly ignore my presence after that. I listen in, and hear the words lucid dreaming. I jump excitedly and say, "Hey! I know about lucid dreaming!" One of my great aunts asks me, "Oh really? can you tell us more about it? I saw this picture on Facebook about it, and I'm really curious but none of us really knows what it is. Is it some sort of drug trip or something?" I tell her it's not a drug trip or anything, it's just when you fall asleep, you realize your dreaming and you can control what's going on in the dream! Then I say I've been reading about it every day for the last month, and have actually managed to get lucid three times! My other great aunt says, "Oh really? Now I'm interested throw me a bone here. What can you do when your lucid?" and leans forwards. I look at her, and for a moment I'm confused, that great aunt died a couple years ago. Then I just shrug it off and think to myself she's not dead yet, but we know she is dieing from cancer. -_- I tell her about my first lucid since I had really good control, and the other two are pretty disappointing in terms of control. Then the first great aunt says, "Well, all this is just too complicated for me, lets talk about something else." I feel a bit dejected because I think she's pretty much dismissing me as well. I walk back into my son's room, and notice a clear plastic bag that says "Skylanders" on it. I pick it up, and apparently it's the 3DS version of the game. The package is empty, but I see the portal on the night stand and know we didn't lose it. Then I realize I can just take all the advertising and cardboard out of the bag, and it's just a clear bag that says Skylanders, it would make the perfect carrying case for all his little figurines. I tear out the card board and start to carry it to the trash, but on my way I notice my daughter has a bottle of water and she knocks it over on the carpet. next to where my mom is sitting on the floor. I shout to mom to watch out, she's about to get wet! Then I'm upset because the water is making such a big mess and I can't believe that little bottle had so much water in it! Then my daughter wakes me up again.

My daughter was still sick and I still didn't get to sleep much, but luckily my dreams weren't boring rehashes of the day, but fun and at times comical adventures for the most part.

Dream One: I'm with a girl and a guy, and there is a Mirror. Or rather, pieces of a mirror. We've collected three pieces and there seems to be one missing. We're in some sort of warehouse we are using for a "home base" but it seems someone wants to steal these mirror pieces and so we've got to move our base. I pick up the mirror pieces and put them together inside a frame on a vanity. The mirror is round and has a star etched in the center where you'd expect to have a clear view of your face and there are little stars all around the edge of the mirror. Somehow I know this mirror is magical, it's a portal to where ever we want to go, if we ever find all the pieces. The guy with us is loading a bunch of stuff onto a flatbed trailer so we can move it to the new location, but then he starts jumping up and down on top of everything like he's trying to pack it all down. I freak out telling him he'll brake the mirror into smaller pieces and it'll be even harder to put back together. He sheepishly rubs the back of his head and is like, "Oh yeah... right!" then I am woken up.

Dream Two: I'm in a truck with a guy with long dark hair to his shoulders. He's very good looking, and I feel like I have a crush on him at least, he may even be my boyfriend or husband in the dream. He's talking to me about How I'm feeling, he seems worried that I'm not feeling well. I assure him I'm fine, that I don't want to ruin our plans for the day because I'm really excited. We're actually in a parking lot, and it's night time though! The he asks me if I'm sure I want to meet his famous friends in the hospital, that if I'm tired he'll take me home and let me rest. I tell him I'm not tired at all, I can't wait to meet his friends, and I am so glad he's going to introduce me to them. I've got the same sort of feeling like if someone brings you home to introduce to the family, like you're finally confirming that the other person is serious. I get out of the truck, and we hold hands walking across the parking lot. I am woken up.

Dream Three: I am walking home thinking about writing a report on something, I think it was football? but I'm not a sports person, at all. So on the way home this blonde guy with like crazy eighties hair shows up and starts SINGING in the street, some love ballad. I try to ignore him thinking that's really weird! But he grabs me by the arm and tries to make me dance as he's singing. I laugh at him, and have the image of myself standing there like a manga character with a sweat drop and depressed like face as if I'm going, "what a weirdo!" then I'm back in myself and walking home again with the man calling out to me, "Thank you! Thank you! I am Johnny danger, and I can't wait to rock your body!" I keep walking, faster! When I get home, I open my book bag to start working on my project, but the book I need is gone! I freak out, then think it's ok, I'll call a friend and ask to borrow their book. For some reason I pull out a year book to get my friends number from the signature pages in the back. I flip tot he back, and have a manga character expression moment again because the guy has ripped out the signature pages of my year book, leaving only a single page, with HIS signature on it. Great, I'm never going to finish this project. I'm woken up again.

Dream Five: I'm at Toys R Us to get the Skylanders supposed to be in stock today. I'm looking for them everywhere and can't find them. I ask an associate where to find them, and she tells me they're sold out. I freak out, "But you only opened a couple hours ago!" she said they sold out in the first hour. I'm like damn it, I can't believe I was here only 2 hours after they opened and they were already sold out! My attention is caught by a yellow box. I pick it up and it's got a pokeball on it, and a lego logo, and it looks like the toy inside is a little mouse hiding under a rock or something. I pick up the box and begin reading it, it turns out to be a computer game with little toys that link up together. The mouse is robotic and will move under the linkable objects for an interactive hide and seek game. I think I should really get that for my daughter, he loves hide and seek games. My son starts crying because they don't have Skylanders toys. I wake up to my son crying for real that we're going to be late and they're going to be sold out at the store when we get there! (We really were two hours late, and they really did only have a couple of the toys left, only one that we needed.)

Dream One: I was at the lake house, but instead of being a cabin it was a condo in a condo building. I'm just arriving, and I notice there's an open tote sitting outside the door, I ignore it at first and go on inside to put down the bags of food and clothes and stuff I'm carrying. I put alcohol in the fridge, and find myself thinking that my cousins aren't coming but I wish they would because we had so much fun when we went to the lake with them last year. I see a blow up raft leaned against a wall, and note that it's dark. I go to turn on the light by the door, and notice the tote on the front porch again. I turn on the inside and outside lights, then bend over to check out the tote. It has a note that says it's from the game warden on it that says our first aid supplies are inadequate and we can not use the building until our first aid supplies are adequate. I pull out my cell phone and call my aunt who is the unofficial caretaker of the cabin. She claims that she left the first aid kit up to my cousins to handle since they were the ones who used the cabin the most, and if the supplies are inadequate again (apparently this is the seventh time!) then we need to call them. I start reading the note from the warden trying to figure out what is missing, but it doesn't say. I decide to go ask some of the neighbors whats in their first aid supplies to see what we're missing. I wake up.

Dream Two: (I'm not entirely convinced this was one dream, it may have been two, lol) I'm in the woods. I've been chosen for some sort of fighting school and tournament (thank you hunger games -_-) and I'm trying to make my way to the academy. I am under the impression I've just killed and eaten a who rabbit, and my belly is quite full. I come to the end of the woods, and there's a field with a road on the other side. I can see a guy carrying a lot of bags up the road, and I start running thinking he's probably going to the same academy I am. When I finally catch up to him, I notice he's carrying a telescope with him, and he's shaking all over like he's about to pass out. I offer to carry a bag for him, but he refuses. I tell him he's shaking so he needs to stop over working himself. He says he's shaking because he hasn't eaten in three days. I ask him why not, and he claims he doesn't have the money to buy food on his way to the academy. I tell him there are lots of ways he could get food, but he counters with stealing is illegal. I tell him there's always loop holes, then show him how there's a fence around the field beside us. I tell him all the grain inside that fence belongs to the farmer who's growing it, but the wind blows the grains off sometimes and then it sprouts up close to the road. The wheat not inside the fence is fair game for everyone. It's not stealing because it's wild, and where I'm from it'd have all been picked before it was even really ripe. He gets a disgusted look on his face, and says we can't eat raw grain, it has to be processed and milled and baked. I shrug, and then we walk another half mile or so before we come across some planters near the road. I act like I dropped something, and bend down to "pick it up" and pull a carrot out of one of the planters and hide it in my pants leg. Then a few feet more, I see a little turtle in the road and I pick it up. There are also cos mooing at us from a nearby pen, and I contemplate milking one really quick, and the guy starts freaking out over the carrot. He starts telling me again about how stealing is illegal and I could be killed for it. I shrug and tell him that it's better than starving to death anyways, at least we'd get a comfy bed the night our last night if we were arrested instead of sleeping on the hard ground before starving. Then he asks me what I'm planning on doing with the turtle and the carrot anyways, and I tell him that there's got to be a stream ahead because the turtle wouldn't be far from the stream, especially not one this little. When we reach the stream I plan to build a fire, boil some water, and put the turtle and carrot in the water to make soup. He says that's gross, you can't eat a turtle, and I tell him you can and I love turtle. (I think I've seriously heard of turtle soup before, but it could just be dream nonsense, ha ha)

Then the time skips, so I may have just woken up and gone back to sleep. I keep thinking I had 3 dreams and can only remember two so that might explain the time skip.

I'm arriving at the academy. There's a big entrance way, and there's a couple of girls standing in it, giving out silk robes. The robes are black velvet with either Red, Green, or Blue satin accents and ribbons. They offer my choice of colors, and I pick the blue because it's a beautiful cerulean, and mine is the last blue robe left. The girls show me that there are two ways to wear it, but they're not very nice about it. I quietly nod and put on the robes so that there's a black rose over my right shoulder. I walk into a large church like assembly hall where there are others wearing the robes grouped by robe colors. I find the blues and stand with them. There's a speech, something about learning to fight with honor and to the death, I can't remember much because I kept feeling very out of place, like everyone was staring at me secretly. Then the instructor dismissed us to the training grounds. We all flip our robes around, and they go from looking really fancy to looking like the outfits in Bleach. We all grab swords and staffs from a weapons rack and practice attacking each other for a couple minutes, then a whistle blows and we know that is the bell. Suddenly I'm aware of why everyone is looking at me, I think to myself I've read this book, I'm in a movie. (in reality, the whole thing was a mash up of books and anime, not any one story line in particular) I am suddenly aware that this is some sort of Method acting course/movie where everyone must assume the role of the character 24/7 and act out the whole movie with no cuts or interruptions. I am the star of the movie Then I follow the class, quietly into the class room, but everyone stops and starts whispering I look to see what they're whispering about. There's a boy with dark hair, and he's very attractive, walking through the class. I recognize him as both my fiance by arranged marriage and my enemy. I think I don't want to marry him, and while he's hot he's a total jerk. He walks by me, and sneers at me, "Just because your the one expected to win doesn't mean I'm going to let you." I sneer back at him and say something challenging back, but I can't remember what now that I'm awake. He makes a noise like "tche" and then saunters back to his desk. Our teacher walks to the front of the class, and looks really confused. He tells us Class is dismissed for the day while they sort things out with the new students arrival. Then everyone sits in silence for a moment, until someone yells CUT! Then everyone gets up and starts walking off chattering and drinking coffee. I follow the group out the door unsure of what to do next. Outside the building, I notice looks like the elementary school I went to. Coming out of the academy is like coming out of the school gym. I walk towards the main building, thinking I want to go to the Music trailer for a music class. On the way, I see a pair of shoes that I recognize as the neighbor's kids shoes. I put them on over my own sandals (yeah, I have tiny feet for real, my friends 7 year old daughter has bigger feet than me :/) and then I wrap the laces around both my legs so I can only take tiny steps. I waddle this way about twenty feet to the playground and then take the shoes off and toss them at the neighbors kid. Then a bus pulls up behind me and it's the teacher from the academy offering me a ride to the music room. I agree to ride with him, and he shows me his phone where he's texting someone about the fact that the jerk showed up a day early and messed up the filming. Then the teacher calls me Saiya (as in Blood + and Blood -C), and says something about the costume getting him confused. I call him sensei and offer to take off the robes. I pull them over my head, and I have a thin white sun dress on underneath it. The sun dress rides up my legs a bit from the upward pull, but I pull it down quickly. I blush a bit, and for a moment I think it's not so bad and walk on into the music class. The teacher doesn't follow me. There are a couple of kids from the academy in there, but they're all out of character. We hear a noise, and go back outside, the bus is waiting on us outside. We all load up in it, and then it stars out across the parking lot. At the end of the parking lot, it starts driving into the field behind the school. It goes into a ditch that I don't think it can possibly get out of, but it manages not to have any trouble at all. Then it stops at the edge of the field next to the woods. A couple girls climb out, and I follow them, feeling a bit like a third wheel, but that it's better to be with people I barely know than to be alone. They start to duck under a fence, and I start to follow them, but get stuck. Then A boy runs up with a toy laser gun and starts shooting us. Everyone laughs, and I get unstuck and look back across the field and notice it's now sparse woods. Like, every tree is at least ten feet from any other tree but no more than twenty feet, so it provides great shade by still open space to walk about in. There are people in the same back robes as the academy attached to elastic jump harnesses and they are bouncing in the trees doing flips and crazy stuff. It's a show. I notice the people are actually wearing wigs and cosplaying as Bleach characters and pretending to fight one another. I find it really awesome and want to get a closer look. I squeeze into the crowd, and someone grabs me from behind and pulls me back into their arms. I turn to look, and notice I'm now in a crowd of academy students wearing the black and green robes. The girls are chattering and the boys are just goofing off. The guy who pulled me into the group laughs good naturedly and tells me something about not being so shy and quiet when I'm not in character. He pulls me back again so I'm pressed against him, but he doesn't put his arms around me or anything so I'm not sure what who he is or what my relationship with him is, I'm really confused and think I'll just watch the show like I wanted to. But when I look at the show they're not in harnesses anymore, instead the people are racing RC cars, and it's pretty boring. Someone steers one of the cars at our group, and I jump, the car passes between my legs. I move and the people do it again. I'm really uncomfortable and feel like I want to leave. Suddenly I see that I have a wii mote. I impulsively push a button on it, and the music track these people are racing RC cars to changes, everyone starts freaking out trying to figure out what's going on. I slip away from the crowd and stash the wii mote in the bushes then try to walk away. I'm really uncomfortable there, and I feel like I just messed up their show so I feel guilty. As I'm walking back out of the trees, my daughter wakes me up.

While the last dream was very long, I didn't sleep much last night nor take any notes because my toddler was sick most of the night. When I woke up naturally, I went straight back to sleep not bothering to write anything down. I'm hoping this stomach virus that's making it's rounds through my house will be over soon so I can get back to sleeping decently, lol.

Of course I have fragments that I can barely remember about the dreams, but I actually had a lot of dreams and can remember two in really good detail... and one of them I was Lucid for the second time! It wasn't impressive because I was significantly less confident this time around, lol.

Dream One (Fragment): I was fighting, with a sword, I think practice fighting though, not a serious battle. I'm pretty sure that sword was a Zanpakuto, and my opponent was Ichigo, lol. Don't remember anything specific about the fight though.

Dream Two (Fragment): I was on a road trip with my grandma. We were talking, and I could see the mountains out the car windows.

Dream Three: My mother in law had a little pet pot belly pig. We wanted to take a nap, but we had to put the pig in a cage or something first so that it wouldn't get hurt or make a mess while we all slept. We put it in a plastic tote, and my MIL said it needed water. So we started to water it, but end up filling the whole tote with water and it's little snout just barely extended over the water if it raised it's head. We freaked out and drained the water out, and put in a little dish of water instead. When the pig had water and was contained, I was ready for a nap, but my MIL said we couldn't sleep because we had to watch the pig. I asked her how she planned to sleep at all if she had to watch the pig 24 hours a day, and she seemed bewildered for a moment, but I woke up before she could give me a solution!

Dream Four: My friend was buying a new house, and it was like a sims game, complete with the drop down premade houses and green squares, lol. The house changed several times before it made my friend, her grandmother, and me all happy.

Dream Five (LUCID!): The dream starts off with me and my kids visiting my cousin. My kids wander off to the back of her house and I have to go back and run them out of her daughter's room telling them it's rude to go into someone's room without being invited. Then I see the neighbors daughter walking into my cousins room and I run her out, briefly wandering how she got all the way over to my cousin's house and if I'm supposed to be watching her. Then there's a broken candy dish that's filled with melted chocolate and I can't help but think, "Mmm Chocolate!" ha ha ha. Then my daughter has to go to the bathroom. I take her to the potty, and notice that my cousin has the same bathing suit I just bought, and I wonder if it looks better on her than me. Then I notice the bathroom has a microwave and a mini fridge in it. I think for a moment that's weird, but I bet this whole area could be a little apartment. Then my logic finally kicks in, "Wait, There can't be a kitchen in the bathroom! That's too weird, I must be dreaming!" To test that theory, I run towards the counter and jump over it in a single bound, landing in the middle of my cousin's living room. I think for a moment, I shouldn't have left my daughter alone! Then I realize, I'm in a dream, she's not my daughter, it's just a dream character and it won't get hurt, it'll just disappear! I decide I'm going to leave, being at my cousins house is pretty boring and I want to do something cool. I walk towards the door, with no destination in mind, and think I'm going to just walk through the door since I walked through a wall in my first lucid. Then self doubt kicks in, and I think, "But I don't know where I want to go, what it if doesn't work this time?" and of course I smack into the door face first, ha ha. The I try to just open the door, and it's locked and I can't get it open either. I stop to think for a moment and I'm finding that even though I know I'm dreaming and lucid, my mind is pretty blank on what to do, it seems harder to think, ha ha. So I recall confronting my husband in the last dream, and think maybe I need to tell someone I'm in a dream for the control to work properly and the door to open to let me out. I look at my cousin and tell her something like, "This is a dream, your just a dream character and I'm getting out of here." Then my cousin morphs into a MAN with a pointy face and small slit like squinty eyes, and he replies, "How so you plan to get out of here? None of my escapes have worked. You can't make a portal, you can't walk through the door, you can't even open it! You don't know how to teleport do you?" I get annoyed and feel like he's trying to keep me trapped. So I tell him flat out, "I'm going to close my eyes and spin, and I'm going to imagine the scene changing around me." So I close my eyes, and notice instead of seeing black I see gray, and I start spinning imaging the floor being tatami and apparently Renji from Bleach laying on it, ha ha. But then after three spins I get dizzy and fall over landing on top of Renji, but the room still hasn't changed! I stand up and dust myself off, Renji asks me if I'm ok, and I say yeah, but the pointy faced guy is still looking at me and laughing like he thinks it's sooo funny that I'm having all this trouble with my dream control. Frustrated I ball up my fists and decide to try the back door, maybe it'll open. Renji jumps up behind me and yells to me to wait up, but I'm ignoring him because I didn't mean to drag him into this dream anyways. I reach out and grab the door, and it's opening and there's a white light spilling into the room that I didn't even realize was so dark. I'm glad I'm finally getting out of this weird house! But I end up waking up before the door opens all the way!

Dream Six (Fragments): I'm in a car driving through the country, seeing mountains in the distance. There's a house that someone tells me was in a TV show or something. We pull up to it, and they're filming a cop drama, but all the actors and actresses playing the cops have weird hair and make up. Their hair is shades of dark plumb, forest green, royal blue, and blonde and black. Their makeup reminds me of a rock band, like maybe Kiss or something from the 80's with Stars and stuff around their eyes in the same colors are their hair. They're also covered in colored glitter and glittery clothes, glitter right down to their fingernail polish! It's so crazy and extravagant, I wonder how this could possibly have good ratings!

Dream Seven: I'm at my Grandma W's house (she actually died in '05) and she's going to watch the kids while my husband and I go to Walmart. We're going down the hill to the car, and I notice the neighbors kids are playing basketball at my Grandma's house. They are far from home, lol. I climb in the car, but my husband starts driving before I can even get my MP3 player out of my pocket and get buckled in, or even close my door! I yell at him to wait a minute, and he tells me to stop taking so damn long. I counter that I don't even have my seat belt on, and he argues that I'm being slow and pulls forwards. The door closes, pinning my leg against the seat in a very uncomfortable fashion and I yell at him to stop the f-ing car. I fling the door open to get my leg unpinned, and he yells at me to just get out of the car he'd go by himself. I do and slam the door about to cry. I walk past the neighbors kids, then realize I'm in a housecoat and pajamas and I feel like everything's falling off. I am really embarrassed and run to the front porch and sit on the swing. I cry for a few minutes about getting kicked out of the car and about my clothes falling off and being embarrassed that everyone saw it all. Then my grandma is on the porch, coming out of the shadows and scaring the crap out of me! She tells me to relax, It's all ok, no one will remember any of it in the morning. I nod, and decide to go ask my son if he wants to play outside. I yell at the neighbors kids if they will be out for long and if we could come out and play too (my kids a lot younger so they can't play as rough with him as when it's just them) they tell us to come on out, so I go inside to get changed. My son is at the computer, and I ask him if he wants to play outside with the big kids. He refuses, and I feel frustrated because he'd getting so fat playing computer and video games all day and not outside! I wake up.

Dream Eight (fragment): We're at a hotel, at the end of an Anime Con. A friend of mine has a room beside ours connected by a door. He's already turned in his key at Check out and asks us if he can borrow our key because he forgot something in his room. We let him, and I start freaking out that we need to pack and get out of the room before we charged for another night. My husband just wants to lazy about and not do it, so I'm packing it all up by myself and feeling so desperate that I'm not going to get done in time. I even start crying.

Dream Nine: I'm looking at skin, I'm not sure if it's my hand or someone else's skin. There are these little dark spots on the skin, and looking closer I can see they're wiggling. They're bugs swimming under the flesh. It's really gross and creepy and I wake up.

Dream One: I'm in The Hunger games (started rereading the book out loud to my husband and kids last night, I knew this was bound to happen, lol) and we're on our way to the capitol. For some reason we're all in a big wooden boat, and all the competitors are locked in the bottom of the boat together. Most of us are lamenting the fact that we're going to miss home, but one girl is terrified. She doesn't want to die, but we all know she's probably going to be the first one to die because she's so petrified. She is so scared she wets herself and faints. There's a guy with me, and we're talking softly about how bad we feel for her. We decide to change her clothes while she's fainted in case she doesn't wake up before we get tot he capitol. We agree we would want to arrive with pride, and not in our own urine, so it's the least we can do for her.

Dream Two: I'm on my computer, looking up places on Google maps. There are something like 294 places on the list I have in the dream that I plan on going to. I enter in a place, and then drag the little man down for "street view" but instead of seeing a picture of the place, I am instantly transported there. To leave I merely have to turn around and walk through a free standing door and I'll be back at my computer. I visit several places, some woods, some winding roads, a couple houses. The two that stuck out to me were a bench scene, because in the dream I get Deja Vu and think to myself this place is important, I don't know why, but I have seen this place before in a premonition or something. I want to leave some sort of offering on the bench for the birds, and I somehow have an hand burger. I start to tear the burger up into little pieces to leave the bread, but the crumbs keep turning into strips of the wrapper. It's frustrating so I just leave the whole burger there and think to myself that the birds can pick the bread off themselves. The second place, was a big driveway or parking lot, it kind of reminded me of where I lived as a kid, but it was different in several ways. When I was there, I saw a man with curly blonde hair (think Heath Ledger in A Knights Tale curly blond hair). He says hey to me and calls me by name, then he comments that he hasn't seen me for a while. I tell him I'm good and tell him I've missed him. He asks me if that means we're friends enough that it wouldn't be weird for him to send me a facebook friend request. I tell him I'd love to be his friend on facebook, then I think I may have already sent him a friend request and say as much to him. He smiles happily and says he'll check when he gets online. I have to leave then because my mother in law is calling. I walk through the door, then I'm on the phone and trying to delete my internet history because for some reason there are websites about marriage in the history and I don't want my husband to know I was looking at them. Then I get in the car and follow my mother in law's car around town as she talks about pizza.

Dream Three: I'm in the water swimming up to this gigantic island. It's a really ugly island that looks malformed and unstable. I climb up on it, and ask some woman about it (or maybe she asked me?) and it turns out the island was made from garbage. She tells me that they (whoever they are) built it by shoving a bunch of garbage into the ocean in the same spot, and over the years, the garbage began decomposing and turning to dirt, and now the island is actually land. The first man made island of this size. I notice how there's a big piece of black plastic sticking out of the ground, and I wonder how that's going to mess with building on the island. But I keep walking up the mountain of the island and then come across a hole in the side, I step into the hole and it's actually a cave built into the mountain side. There's even insulation and wooden beams supporting the weight around it. The neighbors kid shows up, and says that it's awesome, then him and his girlfriend start jumping up and trying to pull down the insulation. I scold them and tell them they're going to bring the whole place down around our ears!

Dream Four (fragment): When I woke up, I knew I was in the middle of creating a green forcefield like magical shield. I thought to myself I need to write this dream down NOW, it was the kind of awesome dream I used to have before my recall went to crap! I rolled over and grabbed my phone but as soon as I went to type the dream, my mind went blank. Now all I can remember is what I just typed. It feels like the harder I try to remember the more I don't remember and start to question (was the force field green or purple? was I fighting or being chased?) so frustrating, I couldn't go back to sleep so I thought I'd get up, type this out while I could, and then go back to bed, lol.
