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.
