Mydera

Fragment One: I'm practicing Glow sticking again. I'm using pink glow sticks, which is weird because everytime I practice my daughter ends up wanting the pink and my son wants the blue, so I'm stuck with green, orange or yellow. I haven't practiced with Pink in waking life yet.

Fragment Two: I'm in a crowd, and I see Snow from that latest Final Fantasy game (XIII?) from behind.
(and because I'm hot linking a google search and that pic might not show up, http://images.mmosite.com/answer/dic...431411b3b7.jpg ) I am aware enough to realize that It can't be the REAL Snow because he's just a video game character, so I'm assuming it's someone cosplaying. I can't get over how much his hair looks like Kurasawa. I start trying to make my way through the crowd towards him, but he is slipping through the crowd as well so I can never get closer. He looks back at me and smiles a few times, and I realize his face looks like Kurasawa's face, not like Snows face at all. (Bigger eyes, smaller nose, clean shaven... those are the most obvious differences, lol) I want to catch up to him and ask him if he is Kurasawa, but he keeps a very steady distance between us. At one point I stop and so does he, and he just watches me until I start to walk towards him again. Then he smiles playfully and keeps moving through the crowd. So frustrating!

Dream Three: I'm with my friend A when the phone rings. It's my friend N, and she is telling me about some free ultrasounds place that will let you know if your pregnant or not. She wants me to meet her there because she's going to get a free ultrasound of her baby. A and I go to the free place, but when we get there, A says she's never had an ultrasound before as she's never been pregnant and she wonders what they're like. I convince her to get one of the free ultrasound pregnancy checks so she will get all the experience. She asks me if I want one, and I assure her that I don't need one. I had plenty of ultrasounds with both my kids, no more, thank you! So she fills out some papers, and a nurse leads her back to a room. I stay in the lobby and when my friend N shows up, she's already had her baby! I'm so happy for her, and coo over her beautiful little baby boy. I think her baby is really a girl in WL, lol. A comes back out of the back room, and I notice her belly looks funny and puffed out. I find this odd as she's really the skinniest chic I've ever met, like less than 100 pounds skinny. Turns out, she's preggo and didn't even know it! I'm worried because I'm pretty sure she never wanted kids even though her husband does. She seems happy about it though, and she talks ecstatically about it and shows off the pictures so I assume it's all good. Then we're leaving and have to walk through a crowded parking lot to get back to my car. The rest of the dream is kind of fuzzy. Something about my dad's girlfriend getting pregnant, and she's years younger than him in the dream though she's about his age in real life. I think my cousin also turns out to be preggo in the dream. I remember thinking it's a good thing I know I won't be pregnant for a long time or I'd be getting scared, lol.

Dream Four: I'm in a batman suit, about to zip line down from a building to a clearing in a graveyard. There's a woman with curly red hair standing on top of the building threatening to cut the zip line. I keep trying to tell her I'm not the guy she thinks I am, but she insist I'm a guy named Caleb who broke her heart. Finally I take a leap of faith and just zip line down hoping it'll take her longer to saw through the line than it'll take me to reach the bottom. When I land I'm in front of a Grave that says "Nancy" on it. No last name, no dates of birth or death, nothing but the word Nancy. A lady is standing behind me again, but it's a different woman. She's telling me that this is a false grave built to hide something so that I could find it one day. She tells me the real grave is by a road somewhere and gets no visitors. I wake up.

I'm walking on the street to some sort of ball or festival dance or something. My best friend is with me. I notice that all the girls around us are wearing long pretty dresses, but my BFF is wearing dress pants and I'm wearing a mini skirt and tank top. We don't fit in at all. To make it even more obvious that we don't fit in, all the other girls are wearing these bright neon pins in the shapes of butterflies and dragon flies on big bows. I decide I want one of those pins because the tank top I'm wearing is white with neon colored butterflies. I Pull my BFF to this little store beside the road where I think I can buy them. The store is up on a hill, so we had to walk up the driveway/parking lot to get to it. I walk in and start holding bows with butterflies up to my dress to see how they look. I settle on a pretty pink one, and then discover that it's not a pin, but a hair bow on a clip. At first I try to clip it to my spaghetti strap, but then I decide to put it in my hair where it belongs. I turn around and there's a long mirror behind us so I start trying to put it in my hair. I start marveling over how pretty and long my hair is. It's straight and halfway down my back. In real life my hair is short and very naturally curly, when it's as long as half down my back it curls so much that it barely grazes my shoulder. Anyways, I start wondering why I didn't grow my hair out this long sooner, then I remember that I've been trying to grow my hair out. It's just that my hair doesn't grow that fast! This has to be a dream! I immediately drop the hair bow and walk out the door. My bff follows me and asks what's wrong. I tell her I'm dreaming, and I'm lucid right now! I tell her to call Kurasawa for me and tell him to meet me in a little gypsy like tent nearby that looks like something a palm reader would be working out of. Then I walk off and leave her b/c dream character Ambies isn't the real thing and I didn't want to waste my time with her. I walk over to the tent, and find that it's got a fire inside of it, and it's not really a tent at all, but some sort of decorative fireplace that only looked like a tent from the distance. I feel kind of disappointed, but there's a building nearby and I think I can go in there to wait. At this point I lose my lucidity though I see my husband inside and he wants me to go somewhere or do something, and I tell him I can't because I'm waiting for Kurasawa. He gets all mad and jealous about the fact that I'm waiting for some other guy, and then I can't remember the rest of what happened.

Yay for lucidity though! lol I'm noticing I can't stand being inside when I find that I'm lucid. I guess since that second lucid I had where I was trapped inside and couldn't open doors because I was afraid they would be locked. Now I feel like every time I'm lucid I have to go outside to do anything, or else I'll be trapped inside in a "normal" world. Every lucid I've had in the last month has been like, "Yay! I'm dreaming!" *walk to the door* I might make it a goal to stay INSIDE during a lucid to break that habit and train myself to be comfortable with my lucidity where ever I am.

Dream One (fragment): I'm showing off a new shirt. It's apparently got My Little Pony on it or something.

Dream Two: I'm in a parking deck with a group of people, a few guys and another girl. We're getting reading to go to a class of some sort on fighting or something, but if we're late they won't let us participate in the class. Everyone's really stressed and rushing, scared we're going to be late. A guy drops his book bag and all his things fall out. We all stop to help him pick his stuff up. He tells us to go ahead because it's going to take too long to clean up and we're going to be late. Me and another guy refuse to leave because it wouldn't be right for one of us to get left behind. We feel like if one of us should have to wait until next year all of us should in support of our friend. The others don't seem to agree with this, and they just go on ahead without us. We get everything picked up, and start to head into the big building where the class is being held. We see a huge mass of people going through the doors, and realize we're almost late. We try to run, but by the time we get to the door it's closed and we're too late. One of the guys tried to open the door, and it's unlocked. We go to sneak in, but the teacher sees us and calls us out. He asks why we're late, and we tell him what happened. The he reminds us that if we were late we were not supposed to be in the class, and wanted to know if we knew this when we stopped to help. We tell him yes, and apologize for interrupting the class, then turn to leave. Before we can get back out the door the teacher tells us to stop, and we do. Then he turns to the class and starts giving a speech on how you should never leave a comrade behind, even if it means you may suffer yourself. He says that we showed a wonderful example, and that we're not only going to be allowed to participate in the class, but we're his top students already. Then he calls us team hoopers, and I wake up, lol.

Dream Three (fragment): I'm chasing a cat through some streets and alleys.

Dream Four: I'm standing in the kitchen frying something on the stove. The couple who own the house we may end up moving into is there. The wife asks me if I'm planning to home school my kids or put them in public schools. I start explaining to her that with the way my kids don't behave or listen to me, I'm pretty sure I'm going to send them to public school in hopes that seeing other kids behaving would give them the peer pressure needed to behave. I also talk about them having ADD and how I feel like homeschooling would help them in the long run if they would just learn that they're expected to do the work whether they feel like it or not. Then I start talking about how I had this same conversation earlier in the week with my best friend who seems to think my kids are going to do terribly in school because they have trouble sitting still and paying attention. Then the husband leans over the frying pan to see what I'm cooking, and starts telling me about how bad public schools can be and why they decided to homeschool their kids.

The vitamins are slowly starting to sink back in It usually takes a week for me to go from no memory to full vivid dreams, but I can already remember much more from this set of dreams than the previous night. My recall is slowly coming back together, woo hoo! Now if only I could get my sleep schedule back around so I can sleep longer and dream more, ha ha.

Everything last night I remember is in fragments and I couldn't even begin to tell you what fragments were in the same dreams and what weren't because I just don't remember. So instead of writing "dreams" I'm just writing fragments, lol.

Fragment One: I'm playing with glow sticks again. No surprise, I've been trying to learn Glowsticking for two days, and it's usually what I'm doing the last two hours before bed. In this fragment my daughter wants a pink glow stick and I give it to her. She starts twirling it and I'm surprised at how she's even better than me at 2 1/2 years old and never practiced before. She starts crying, and I realize I'm only dreaming, I'm still in bed. As soon as I realize this I wake up and my daughter really is sitting up in her bed crying.

Fragment Two: I'm house sitting for my mom. Not a very exciting dream, lol.

Fragment Three: I'm in a gymnasium playing Halo on the 3DS (missed reality check there ) There are some people dressed in Master Chief cosplay and I'm walking towards some bleachers where my BFF and her husband are sitting. I'm playing online against the somehow on the DS.

Fragment Four: I'm covered in mustard. I don't know how it happened or what happened after that. Just that I'm standing with my arms out with mustard covering every inch of me and dripping off in big cartoon like drops. Yuck.

Fragment Five: I'm standing at the door of a building. Somehow I know that each building around me is an apartment building, and each holds 8 people. There are 8 jobs, and one person from each job lives in the building, but no two people from the same job can live in the same building. My job is a preforming artist. I'm watching another apartment building dreamily as this cute guy on stilts is doing a performance for tips on the street. He's a performance artists too. A man walks up to me with a hat on and asks me if I've picked a partner yet. I don't answer him, and he takes that as a yes. He asks me who it is I like, and I reply, "What if the one I like isn't even in the same group? What if it's someone with the same job as me?" In this dream I know that's taboo, and I have to pick someone in my building. No clue what happened after that, or even what his answer was.

Fragment Six: I'm on the back of a big bird, and I'm flying over a canyon with a purple force field like line through the center. On the left side, where I am at, there is a red orange and yellow griffin guarding a treasure chest., I have to destroy it to unlock a chest on that side and disable the force field. When I do, the other side of the force field has two griffins and two chests. I have to defeat them, and I see a woman on the cliff, she's a sorcerer and I know I have to defeat her to rescue someone. I was rescuing a guy whom I wanted so badly to just hold. I woke up before I could defeat the second griffin so I never got to see who my prize was if I had destroyed the sorceress.

Dream one(fragment): I think I was glowsticking on the beach and then a storm was coming so I was trying to get into a hotel before I was blown away.

Dream two: The earliest point I remember is asking my grandma where my husband was. She said he was in the basement cleaning, but when I went downstairs it was ambies there instead. She stepped outside for a moment an there was a guy out there with her. He seemed young, and was flirting with her. Part of me was jealous that she was prettier than me, but then I figured it didn't matter bc I was an old married woman, lol. Then a piece of paper blew out of her hand. It was important, so I ran after it. I end up jumping on boxes to the top of the roof then jumping off the roof to get it. When I gave her back her paper, I was telling her not to let go of it again. The guy came up behind me and slipped his hands around my waist under my shirt and pulled me back into him. I yell out, "what the fuck are you doing?" And pull forwards away from him, but his hold on me is firm. He replies that his hands are cold and he was warming them up and kisses me lightly on the forhead. I'm not happy with this though, and I tell him he doesn't even look 18 yet so he needs to get his hands off from me. He laughs and tells me he is definitly 18, then I ask since when. He tells me since a long time ago, but then I wake up.

Still don't have enough vitamins in my system so it'll be a few days of short entries for a while. Oh, and entries from my phone b/c I don't have time to get online much yet

Just a quick entry bc I've not taken my vitamins while on vacation so my recall sucks! I had a dream last night that I remembered, so I'm posting it from my cell phone

I was in a wooden building that reminds me of an old medieval dinning hall. I'm on a balcony with an older bearded man. In the dream I think he's my dad but he doesn't look like my real dad. He's. Controlling me, telling me what I can and can't do. Then he starts pouring boiling hot water on the people below. I don't want him to hurt them, so in an act of defience I jump down to put myself between everyone else and him. He doesn't care and starts to throw the hot water on me. A guy swoops in behind me and pushes/pulls me into a little room nearby. The hot water has splashed us, but it didn't soak us because he moved me so quickly. Burns are forming, and the room is actually a shower, so it starts pouring down cold water to ease the burns. Its cold though and I shiver so the guy pulls me close to him exposing the burns to the water and warming the side of me that aren't. The shower isn't draining though, and I'm scared we'll drown! But the shhhhs me and tells me itss be ok. Just before the water fills the shower completely, the door flies open and we roll out. He's got friends in the hall and they've killed the king who I thought was my father and saved me. Then I wake up.

The guy was someone I saw a few times at the con, and this is our vacation and time away from everyday life. I'm guessing the dream is telling me I want to escape from the crap in my everyday. Like how in an earlier dream sinoblak thought it showed I was sacrificing myself for others. This dream follows that and goes to show that this is my escape at the con, lol.

Testing to see if I can dream journal from my phone while on vacation no sleep tonight, just driving, lol

Woo Hoo, a lucid last night Even though I've probably had like 15 of these in the last four months, the magic never wears off!

Dream One: I'm securing a robot into a space ship. The robot isn't very happy about this, but he understands that he has done something wrong and this is the punishment by law not my choice. I'm sad because this robot is my friend and I don't want to send him away. He starts talking about how lonely he will be and how bored he will be with nothing to do but star at an empty space ship.Then, that when his punishment is over, no one he knows will still be left on earth. I want to do whatever I can to lesson his pain, so I go grab all of my favorite books. I bring them back to him and tell the robot that These are my favorite books. I'm sorry I have to send him off, but I hope that when he reads them he knows that back on earth we love and miss him. Then my husband gets a phone call. Hoping it's a reprieve for the robot, I rush over to see what's going on. He tells me that Kanone (Spiral the melody of logic, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-GaR...eature=related ) is in trouble and needs help, but no one knows where he is. I realize the robot probably knows where he is. So I go unbuckle the robot from it's space ship, and ask him if he knows where Kanone is. He says there are several places he could be, but he can check them all. I'm so grateful, and I tell him that if he does save someone, then his sins of accidentally killing someone will be nullified and he won't have to leave. I wake up. I can point out the origin of many of these elements. I watched the toonami April fools clips before bed, then read Star Wars The Clone Wars Secret Missions bk2 to the kids before bed... that's got to be where the robot and space ship came from. As for Kanone, Well Spiral sits on the book shelf over the foot of my bed, I see it (and all the Characters faces) every night before bed, lol. I think Kanone was the character to invade because he's my favorite :p

Dream Two (Fragment): I'm driving through the small town we live in.

Dream Three (Fragment): I'm hanging out with a bunch of guys, and they're all either gay or bi. I'm watching them all flirt with each other and laughing because they are so much fun to hang out with and totally no pressure. But then one of the Bi one starts hitting on me, and I'm not too comfortable with it. He makes the comment that with my short hair I can style it and be a cute girl or I can just brush it and look like a cute guy, and that makes me extra fun. There's a car at some point and we're all piling into it. We were also comparing pictures on cell phones and I forgot I had porn on mine and they all saw it

Dream Four (Fragment): I'm in my room at the house I lived in as a teen. My aunt is there, and we're sitting on the floor looking at my cousin's pokemon cards that he was getting rid of. I decide I'm just going to go ahead and offer to buy all of them from the kid because I feel bad for him trying to save money for a PS3.

Dream Five (Lucid): I wake up in my bed. I slowly open my eyes, and just lay back and relax a bit longer, I always hate waking up and want to go back to sleep, lol. Then I notice I can hear something, so I roll over so I can see the foot of the bed. The TV is on. There is a commercial on for Pokemon Trading cards. I think that's weird and funny because I just had a dream about Pokemon cards, what a coincidence. Then I stop and think, wait, why is the TV on? I can't fall asleep with a TV on. Could this be a dream? Maybe someone turned the TV on... It feels really realistic... But then dreams often are so super real it's crazy. (The fact that the room is my OLD room from when I was a teenager and I don't even HAVE a TV in my room now didn't register) So I get up, and I start walking down the hallway. I think I need to reality check, so I try to plug my nose, I can still breathe. Then I question it, wait... am I pinching hard enough? Maybe I'm awake and I'm just not pinching hard enough. So I decide to try another one and count my fingers. I'm making it into the living room now and I'm counting on one hand, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven... then I start to move to the other hand and stop myself... seven? Seven fingers on one hand? Really? COOL! My grandma is sitting in a chair to my right, I turn to her and hold my hand out, "Check it out Grandma! I'm lucid dreaming! See? I have seven fingers!" She's a spoil sport and just says, "If you say so." I'm still doubting myself at this point too, thinking there's a small possibility that I might be awake (forgetting the fact I haven't lived in that house for seven years, lol.) But I decide I've done my reality checks and they failed, I just have to trust myself and DO SOMETHING. But I haven't had any lucids in so long, I can't even remember what my goals are and what I should do. So I decide that instead of trying anything big, I'm just going to try to get past my skepticism and take a risk. I walk to the front door and open it. Everything looks like it should (for that house). All the houses are in the right place as is the street. I feel really self conscious about the fact that I'm in a night gown still, but I tell myself this is a dream, it doesn't matter. I try to close my eyes and imagine myself in shorts and a t shirt. Doesn't work, so I just tell myself fuck it, it'll turn into a shirt and T shirt if I just keep moving and just assume that it is jeans and a T shirt. I walk out side, and down the front walk to the drive way. By this point my clothes are in fact jeans and a T shirt, just because I assumed they would be, yay! There are a couple of vans parked in the driveway. My cousins are in one, and my nephews in another, and my neighbors (from my current house) in yet another. Everyone is getting out of the vans like they're there for a visit. I wave, but don't want to quit moving and get sucked back into the dream scape. My aunt yells hello, so I yell hello back, then tell her, "Can't hang out yet, I'm in a lucid dream!" and she replies, "I know you are!" to which I laugh and say, "Of course you know, your just a dream character! You knew I was dreaming even before I did I bet!" (referring to seeing her in the previous dream) Then I make it to the road, start walking up it, and realize all my dream characters are following me. Even the neighbors in their yards are leaving to follow me.. Now that I'm awake I consider it pretty creepy having a 15+ dream character mob behind you, but in the dream I was like, "Oh, they're following me so we can do a musical number about the joys of lucid dreaming!" Suddenly I realize this is a good time to remind myself I'm dreaming, because I could way too easily get sucked back into the dream thinking about musical numbers, lol. I look up into the sky, now remembering that I am in fact dreaming. I see a flock of birds and I decide to try and shoot them with my fingers. I don't want to kill them or anything, just see if I can make them disappear because I've heard that you can make DCs disappear by pointing at them. I point at the birds. Nothing happens. I say, "Pow!" nothing happens. I consider doing the same to the DC in front of me, because they're all catching up now... but I reconsider, even if this is just a dream, I don't want to see any blood and gore if I mess up! So instead I briefly wonder if I need to stabilize, remembering that Ophelia had told me in the Lucid dreaming class that stabilizing might help my control. But then the only stabilizing method I can remember is the one where you crawl on the ground, and I really don't want to crawl on the road, lol. SO Instead I decide I'm going to try to make a Mcdonalds appear at the end of the road. I imagine a mcdonalds being there, but when I open my eyes what I get is a floating brown and yellow rounded cartoonish building (like this block set: http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/4/0/5...3312892_tp.jpg ) and it has giant floating cookies for steps to climb to it. I start to climb, but then change my mind and turn back to the dream characters. I tell them, "I gotta go guys, I'm going to try and do something productive with this dream and I have a LOT of questions to ask someone." Then I grab the nearest DC, who happens to be a fat balding guy, and tell him, "Do me a favor when you leave ok? Tell Kurasawa I am Lucid and I need to talk to him. He can find me here at this McDonalds I just made." The dream character says, "Aight." then leaves (I'm in the south, everyone has a redneck accent, even me. Mines at least not as bad as most because people still refuse to believe that I am from here b/c according to them I have a "yankee" accent, but according to my friends up north my accent is most definitely southern, lol.) I start trying to climb the cookies, and it's just not working. They're wiggling and tipping too much. I get mad, and just reach up and grab the bottom of the door frame of this McDonalds and give it a good tug downwards. It falls to the ground, but suddenly looks like a kids play house. No way am I going to be able to fit in there, let alone me and Kurasawa. I grab the edges and start pulling and stretching it. I have to stretch it wide first, then I have to stretch the top to make it tall enough, then it's only like 6 inches deep, so I have to push on the back to stretch it out. There's no McDonalds furniture or people or cookware inside, and I'm annoyed. All that's in there is a little pink table with purple chairs and a regular white oven. I remember thinking that shiny white oven looks so out of place in this very pink and purple play house. That's about the time my kids woke me up.

Note to self, review Lucid goals at least twice a week from this point on, even if not Reality Checking on a daily bases b/c of being on vacation. Apparently it doesn't have to be the main thing on my brain for it to happen, lol.

My hubby is out today, so I've got a chance to write a normal dream journal entry

Dream One: I'm in a white gazebo in the middle of a grassy field. There is a shelf that goes all the way around the gazebo at about waist height. on the shelf are lots of little net bags with something inside them (maybe tea leaves or something? It definitely looked like tiny bits of plant material) and there are little tags hanging off from each bag with words on them. The bags are lines up all along the shelf all around me. The only way I can get out is to find three bags, and put them in the correct order as is indicated in a poem on a slip of paper I am holding. I actually find the three bags in the first five bags I check, but I don't want to be wrong, so I go all around the entire gazebo and read all the tags in case I made a mistake, then take the three bags I'm supposed to and then I wake up.

Dream Two: My husband and I are hanging out at my Grandpa's house (he took his own life last year, so this is a very creepy place for me) We're coming out of the woods, so I assume we had been taking a walk around the paths I played in as a child. We decide to go inside and have some lunch. We walk inside, and grab food from the fridge and pour ourselves cups of soda. We sit down in the living room and start eating. Suddenly I remember, My grandpa died! His house was sold off to someone else. We're in someone else's home. This is a big illegal mistake! I tell my husband he needs to hurry up and wash the dishes and make it look like we were never there while I finish eating bc I'm a slow eater. When I finish up, I take my plate and cup into the kitchen to wash them, and the whole sink is full of dishes, and I'm about to cry! Then I decide I don't want them to come home and find us still in their house, so we just leave the dishes, lol. I go next door to my aunts house and tell her what happened, and she laughs and says it's ok, they won't mind, they'll find it funny! and she wants to video tape their reaction when they come home and see that they forgot to lock the door and we waltzed in and ate their food!

Dream Three: I'm at the mall, talking to a lady whos running a stand. I get the idea that we're friends, or maybe she's a teacher or something. My phone rings, and I answer it. It's my BFF Ambies, she's working for an accessories store and just discovered that when she was carting things from the old shop in the mall to the new shop in the mall one of her totes had a hole in it and she's dropped a bunch of headband and belts. She tells me that her boss said to write it off as a loss for the claims department and just forget about it, so if I happen to see them I'm welcome to take them home. I take this as she wants me to go find them, so I do. I see girls grabbing them up left and right, so I grab as many as I can, then I start to walk in the direction I think Ambies' new store is. I pass the lady in the stand I was talking to before, and she calls out to me. I shove the belts and headbands in my pocket because I don't want her to think I'm stealing them and stop trusting me. I tell her I'm taking something to Ambies, and I'll be back in a little bit. She says ok, and I keep on my way. I walk down a set of stairs and there's a big crowd of people. a couple of guys step out of the crowd and start being total jerks by pointing and laughing at me because of my clothes. I turn around to walk away, not wanting to hear this crap, and then they start following me and poking me in the butt! I turn around and tell them if they don't leave me the fuck alone I'm going to kick them in the balls. They laugh, and one pokes me in the boob, so I pull my leg back to kick him. He just laughs and is like, "Was that supposed to hurt?!" I try again, this time he grabs my leg before I can kick him, and he lifts it up knocking me off balance and I fall backwards and hit the ground. I start yelling calling him and jerk and thrashing around on the ground trying to kick him but not succeeding. Then a couple of tall and skinny guys in preppy clothes (one had a red shirt on and that really stuck with me for some reason?) come over and start pushing the jerks around and telling them that they need to pick on someone their own size and leave that poor girl alone. I'm still on the floor, just watching the confrontation. The jerks finally throw their hands up and lumber off. The preppy guys don't turn around to help me up or anything though, they seem to think their civic duty is done and walk off in the other direction. I'm so upset, but I get up and try to put on a blank face. I start to walk off, and I hear someone call my name. It's a girl I used to go to school with inside a store. I walk towards her, but when I get in the store I can't find her, and one of the clerks point to the register and tell me she's helping customers right now and will get to me in a minute. When the customers are checked out and leave, the girl, D, starts telling me that she's going to hire me to work in her store. I try to politely decline and tell her I can't get a job right now. She says the guys were picking on me because of my poor clothes and if I had a job and bought prettier clothes I wouldn't be made fun of. I try to explain I can afford "prettier" clothes, I just don't like to wear them, and how I stay at home with my kids I can't get a job until they're in school. Then I just walk away because I'm mortified she'd think I needed money that bad. Then I realize, I don't have my bag! I must have dropped it when the jerks were picking on me. I start freaking out, and run back to where I was fighting those guys. There's my bag, spilled out on the floor. I stay crying knowing someone has probably gone through it and stolen my debit card and cash. I drop to my knees and frantically search through my bag. Nothing is missing. I'm crying tears of relief now. A guy walks up and asks me if everything is accounted for, and I nodd yes. Then He proudly puffs out his chest and says, "I'm glad! I've been watching that bag for the last five minutes waiting for it's owner to show up and claim it. I was making sure no one stole your things miss!" I thank him, but I'm still crying, so he offers me his hand to help me up. He's not at all attractive, but I don't care, I take his hand anyways and let him help me up. I wipe my eyes and then thank him again and start towards Ambies' new store. Unfortunately, he decides to follow me around the rest of the dream, thankfully quietly though! In Ambies store, there are rolls and rolls of ribbon, ruffles and tule. I realize that her job isn't just to sell accessories, but to make them as well. She says hey, and asks me what brings me by, I hold out the belts and headbands I had collected off the floor for her, and told her I was returning these to her. She seemed pretty happy and relieved that I was able to recover some of the lost goods. Then I wake up.

Dream Four:I'm in a movie theater. It's dark, and there's someone standing in front of the screen talking. It sounds like the person is doing some sort of ritual that the audience is a part of. The screen is playing a clip of a full moon over a graveyard. I'm sitting with my best friend Ambies, and we're bored. We get up and leave the theater and try to find the car. I think I've parked a couple streets over, and we start walking in that direction. Instead of finding my car, we end up coming up to this giant crumbling building covered in gothic church like windows. It's shaped like an office building, with rows and rows of windows, but the windows are shaped like church windows. There are gargoyles on the corners and top of the building too. It's really creepy but awesome at the same time. I pull out my phone to take pictures of the building, but the building is too big to get the whole thing in the picture. Then I see something else cool, a skull with bone ears. The ears are shaped like elven ears. It looks really cool, especially considering that ears don't even have bones! I have to take a picture of it, and I notice that when I take the pictures, the lighting make it look like the empty eye sockets glow red. I think that's cool and go to show Ambies, but she is taking pictures too, of sticks, lol, and she wants to show me her pictures. I look, then we remember we're trying to find my car and start walking again. We come across a graveyard with the full moon, and it reminds me of the movie theater before. Someone's set a puppet theater in front of a grave to complete the effect. We keep walking after remarking about the similarities. We walk through someone's back yard, and see a bunch of dogs rolling around on the ground making weird noises. One is chained up, the rest aren't though. Then I realize they all look identical. My dream logic tells me that the chained up dog is the only real dog, and he's having a seizure, which is normal for that dog, and that the dog has this weird phenomenon that when it has a seizure it can project a bunch of copies of it's self also seizuring into the world so it looks like there are a bunch of dogs to distract predators. I tell Ambies whats going on and that we don't need to worry about it, then as we're crossing the road, the dogs owners pull up in a black SUV. We yell out to them that their dog is having a seizure, and they thank us for telling them and go to the backyard to check on him. Just then I notice the Burger King mascot a few blocks over. Only he's four stories tall! I decide then that he's a robot for the parade and festival going on. Another block down we see a bounce house with the Mcdonalds logo on it. There's another platform near it where they've got a big projector screen set up and are showing a movie trailer. Apparently they have a bunch of actors and actresses promoting some kids movie. The main character of the kids movie is a little girl who is half doll, so the little actress playing her is wearing plushy leggings to make her look like she's half human half stuffed doll. There are also a bunch of male actors who are mostly in their twenties but look young for their age so they can play the kids in the school without the movie company having to pay for private tutors. They're all introducing themselves and talking about the movie. One of the guys points at me and says he plays a kid my age. I yell out to him how young do you think I am?! and he says 16, and I yell out that I'm 25, that makes me older than him! and then start to leave. I notice a Blonde guy, and realize I want to talk to him. I feel like I have important questions to ask him. I look at him for a bit, waiting for him to look up and make eye contact. At some point a purple haired guy walks by and I think that his hair is awesome! Finally, blondie looks up at me, and I tilt my head in a follow me type motion, then start walking down some stairs off the platform and away from the set. Someone taps me on my shoulder, and it's not the blond guy following me, but instead it's the brown haired guy who had thought I was 16. I tell him not very nicely to go away, I wasn't beckoning him to come with me, I was trying to get the blond to follow me. Then I keep walking away, fast! lol I end up walking into this card shop that my son and I have started going to play play Pokemon cards on Tuesdays (Yes, I'm totally using pokemon cards to teach him addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division... I'm either the coolest parent ever or the lamest, lol) I find my husband and son are already there, and my husband is so happy I'm finally there to wake over because he doesn't know how to play Pokemon cards and he is sick of our sons whining. I take my son, who is somehow three years younger and easy to carry. Then I wake up.

No notes again, and my entries will probably be like this for the next ten days or so because it's vacation time So here's just a general gist of what I dreamed about.

Dreams One and Two: My Little Pony dreams (well I did watch friendship is magic for 5 hours before bedtime, I totally saw this coming!) can't remember what the first one was about, but the second one it was Spike's Birthday

Dream Three: I woke up on a wooden table right in front of a wooded area. There was a wolf in the woods only about ten feet away, and I thought it was actually someone I knew (but I didn't know who it was?) in some sort of wolf form. I started to talk towards it, but it turns and started jogging slowly away. It turned a couple times to make sure I was following it. That's all I remember of that.

Dream Four: I was in some sort of store that had GIANT stuffed animals, I'm talking like 3 and 4 feet tall ones. But the only actual stuffed animals were MLP:FIM ponies. They also had three and four foot tall stuffed toys that looked like game systems and controllers. I thought it'd be pretty awesome to use them as floor cushions while playing video games. There was another lady there with her kids and we were talking about games our kids play and games we play. Then we sat down at a circular booth table in the store where some guys were playing some card game and we all ate and hung out, talking about more games. My kids were oddly quiet the whole time, that should have sparked a RC, but it didn't.

Dream Five: I was trying to hang a rope from the ceiling and swing on it. Only, my living room was open space outside. The ceiling looked right, only instead of walls it was held up by poles like a car port, and the floor was just the ground complete with broken acorns and walnuts and leaves and such. At one point I saw my daughters toy tea set half buried and wondered if she'd ever find all the pieces. The dream was actually pretty long because I'd swing back and forth once or twice then the rope would fall out of the ceiling and I'd have to stand on something to shove it back up between the ceiling tiles. And I did this many, many times. My dad was there at some point too I think, he wanted to know what I was doing and called me childish when I explained it to him, then told me I'd get hurt. I didn't care though, I was having fun.

Like I said it's vacation week for us (Not technically going anywhere until Thursday, but my husbands off work and we're spending as much family time as we can) so my journal entries will be vague recalls and not actual detailed retellings of the dreams to save time and I'm not taking notes... I'm sleeping in

Dream One (Fragment): I'm on a ship, with clone troopers

Dream Two (Fragment): Someone is sick and needs a doctor. The doctor does a house call, but it turns out he's a fake doctor and just wants our money for a phoney diagnosis.

Dream Three: I'm fed up with my hair. I decide that I want to try and cut it myself, about an inch or so shorter all around to get rid of the fuzzy ends. I end up shaving the top of my head instead. I start hoping this is just a dream because I don't want to go to Animazement with a shaved head! I run my hands along my head trying to see if it feels wrong or anything to indicate it's a dream. It's feels too real. I'm really freaking out now, especially since the top is shaved but I still have six inch long hair all around the side of my head. I look like my dad with long hair! I wonder if a bandana will hide it, but quickly realize that without the bang my bandanas are not as cute and girly and just make me look like a thug. I curse myself for being such an idiot and thinking I could cut it myself. I wake up, my hair in tact, much to my relief

Dream Four: I'm walking with a female friend I don't recognize ad a waking life friend. We both have our sons with us, but mine is a couple years older than in waking life. (And now I gotta cut this short, because I just got a call to play a game online, I'll try to get back on later and type the details if I still remember them tonight!) Our sons go missing, I find a website of the person who has them, I try to find information that will lead me to our kids, I wake up before I find them!

Dream One (Fragment): I was driving an SUV along some country mountain road and got it stuck in the mud. I got out and tried calling for help. A group of guys showed up to help me push it out, and I think a rope was tied to it and we tried pulling it out.

Dream Two: I'm in the trailer we lived in when my husband and I first got married about 6 years ago. There's a guy dressed in army fatigues, and he's yelling at me to move move move. I rush outside where there's already a group of people waiting for me. The Drill Sargent is talking to us about determination or something, then someone says something about how I drive a camaro, I must be fast. Then the Sargent yells at us to go to the back. I go through the hose to the back yard, and notice that everyone else went around the house and not through. My brother is there, and he is trying to show me how to throw these heavy toy planes on strings. We pass the plane back a forth a couple of times, then for some reason I decide to throw my PS3... which is on and lit up even though it's not plugged in. The light gives me pause for a moment, and I think why is the light on? But I fail to question it any more and just decide throwing the PS3 is a bad idea, I'm going back inside. Inside there are stairs, and when I go down them they lead to my best friend's basement. She's on the couch with her husband and there's a mattress with my bed sheets on it, so I assume it's a sleep over and that's where I'm sleeping on the floor. We start talking about how she's starting school again tomorrow (She just graduated from College yesterday, I am so proud of her! But that's why in the dream I think she's starting school again, expanding her degree I guess.) We start talking about the classes she has and if she's expecting any cute guys in her class. Then I joke with her and tell her that if Kurasawa ends up in her class I'm going to be so jealous and visiting her at school every day. Then she yawns, and almost instantly falls asleep. I go to lay down on the mattress, but decide it's uncomfortable and I'm going back upstairs to my trailer where my own bed is. I woke up about the time I got to my own bed, lol.

Dream Three (Fragment): The setting is a grey overcast day, on top of some concrete building. There are large stains on the ground, some red and some just look like the cement is wet. There's a man and a woman in stereotypical PI clothes, examining the scene. They're talking about how this was a murder scene, and the guy is showing the girl the differences between where people died (the blood) and where something had been spilled (the just wet looking spots). I can remember seeing the cracks in the concrete and the clouds in the sky, but there wasn't much content to the dream.

Dream Four: I'm in a car with some chic and my little boy. She tells me to stop at this really old looking trailer that is her friends house. She lets herself in, and wants to show me this guys Pokemon cards collection or something. I'm nervous about being there without the guy who owns the place, but she assures me it's totally cool, he won't mind, not that she plans on telling him anyways. Then I feel really awkward about it, that we're there and he doesn't and never will know. My little boy picks up the pokemon cards and throws them, so I scramble around trying to pick them and freaking out that they're not going to be in the right order and the guy is going to know something wasn't right and be mad at us. Then the chic laughs and says he'll probably just think he rearranged them when he was high. We leave, and I wake up.

Dream Five: I'm in a store, I think it's a craft store like AC Moore. I'm ready to check out, and I cant remember what I was buying But when I reach the checkout, there's only one register open and it's a lady from my moms church running it. She asks me to come over and help her to speed things up. I'm confused, and I ask her if she wants me to open up another lane, and she says no, that the girl running that lane is on break and I might mess up her drawer. She just wants me to swipe all the items across the scanner to ring them up while she chats with the customers. So I do. A few minutes later, the lady on break comes back, and the woman from church tells me thank you and that she doesn't need my help anymore. I start to go get what I was buying again, but notice it's raining. I look outside and see that it is pouring, then I wonder why I'm getting wet INSIDE? And look up to see those fire sprinkler things are going off. I hear the lady from church yelling that someone needs to call the fire department to come turn them off. I walk back to the registers and see my friend B and his daughter. I Say hey, and I thought he worked at Walmart, not AC Moore. He points to his daughter and tells me he's shopping for model paint to paint some models or something. Then I see some books getting soaked. I turn around and ask the church lady if the books will be put on clearance or at least half price now that they're wet. She says no, they will dry, this happens all the time and if they put stuff half price just because it was wet they'd never make any money. I wake up.

Dream Six: I'm standing in the middle of a decimated area of a city. There are broken or fallen buildings all around me, smoke, dust, and even a couple of small smoldering fires. I'm surrounded by these looming, thin pale figures. I'm pretty sure they're vampires and I'm going to die. Then this guy who looks a lot like Morpheus from the matrix shows up and starts kicking vampire ass. But more and more keep showing up! Eventually the guy just grabs me and starts running, carrying me away from the mess in his arms. As he's running, I notice that he's covered in blood, then that it's not all vampire blood, some of it is his own blood. He starts stumbling, and I say something lame like, "Your hurt!" He stops, and says, "I'm sorry, I can't make it any farther without your help." I nod and tell him thank you and ask him how I can help. He's still carrying me in front of his chest, and he lifts me up and sets me on his shoulder. At first I'm thinking this should make it so much harder to run, how the heck does this help? But before I can actually ask that question, he turns his head and bites the inside of my right leg, right through my jeans and everything. At first it hurts, and I cry out, "OW!" But before I can fuss at him to warn me before he's going to bite me, he starts gulping down my blood and it starts feeling really good like vampire bites in books, lol. I'm grabbing his bald head trying not to fall off his shoulders because I'm getting so dizzy from the pleasure and loss of blood. I can't really get a good grip though and start falling. That throws him off balance, and we both fall and roll down a slanted board that's fallen from a nearby building. I almost roll off the board into a nearby fire, but he grabs me and pulls me back into the roll so we're rolling on top of one another down the ramp. Before I can enjoy it though, we slam into a concrete wall, and then he jumps to his feet, lifts me back up, and starts running with me again. He runs into an abandoned store, and grabs an empty box. He tucks me inside, and closes it and tells me to hide that he will be back to get me when the fight is over. Then he leaves, presumably to find the vamps. the box is tiny and cramped though, and I can't make myself that small and hold my balance, and I end up with a muscle twitch that causes me to kick out and break the box. Oops. Suddenly I hear voices an aisle over, and try to tuck the box back around me, but can't do it on my own. A middle aged vampire woman comes around the corner, and I've comically got the box over my torso so my legs and head are poking out either side. I do the whole cartoon sheepish grin and wave, "uh... hi?" She grins, showing big fangs and reaches into her bag pulling out a really thin and flimsy knife. I think she's going to stab me with it, but instead she tosses it to me and says she likes it when her food fights back. A couple of teenage vampires come around the corner then, and she hisses at them to get lost and find their own meal. The hurry away quickly, and I take the moment she's distracted to bend over and get the knife she tossed me. She tells me, "That's a good girl, most are too scared to face off with me. It really kills the fun and flavor." Then I shout back, "Before I fight you, I want to know something." she asks what, and I ask her, "If you bite me will I become a vampire or will I die?" she tells me that all vampires had to be bitten to become vampires, but that answers has holes in it. I see another lady vampire walk by, she's got a baby in her arms, and I can see the baby's fangs sticking out. So I think someone had to bite that baby to make it a vampire, but if every one became a vampire when bitten there would be more vampires in this world. I ask again, "So everyone who's bitten by a vampire becomes a vampire?" She laughs and tells me "Only the lucky ones who don't die first!" I try to run then, worried that I won't be one of the lucky ones. She lunges at me, and I try to slit her throat with the knife when she jumps, but her skin is too tough. She laughs, and I'm on the ground with her on top of me, one hand at her throat pushing against her skin with the knife, the other hand on her forehead trying to push her face and teeth as far away as I can. The more I strain against her, the more my leg starts hurts, and at the time I find it really weird that it's hurting when it's my arms and upper body straining against her. Her face gets closer and close to me, and then suddenly she's being lifted off from me and flung into a nearby wall. It's the guy who looks like Morpheus He stops for a moment to ask me if I'm ok. When I tell him I think so, he turns back around and stakes the vampire woman. She turns to ash and blows away as if the wind were blowing even though it wasn't. Then my leg really starts to hurt. It feels like it's getting really tight and hard. I grab for it on reflex and grit my teeth. Morpheus guy some over and asks me what's wrong. I tell him I don't know, then notices I'm grabbing my leg, and he asks me if I hurt my leg. I tell him no, and he curses then picks me up and sets me up on a nearby box so he can look at it closer without having to get down on the floor. This box must have something in it because it doesn't collapse under my weight. I start feeling like my whole body is shaking, and I'm hearing him shout out to someone to get over here. I see a chic with long dark hair and a guy with short brown hair in their early twenties lean over his shoulder. I blink and then I'm waking up in a small bed inside of a camper. I get up off the bed, and everything feels kind of off. I practically float through the camper to the door, and open it. The girl is standing out side as if she's waiting on me. She tells me it's about time I woke up, then asks me if I'd like to grab a burger because the guys are already pigging out at McDonalds and we're missing out. I do want to eat, and that's when I notice the camper isn't parked in the woods or anything, it's parked in a McDonalds parking lot. We walk inside, and the morpheus guy and the short brown hair guy are eating inside. The chic walks me to the table and sits me down, saying she'll order our food and I should stay here because it'll take me a few days to adjust. Talking to the guys, I find out that I've become a vampire because I'm a carrier of the rare gene that converts people when bitten. I realize then that the woman carrying the baby vampire must have returned and bitten her baby when she realize that genetic determined if you were one of the lucky ones or not. I feel kind of sick thinking about how someone would do that, even if it was genetics, she couldn't be 100% sure that the baby got that gene passed down. The Morpheus guy apologizes, saying he didn't realize I was carrier, and that if I had been a normal person I would have healed just fine because he didn't drink enough to kill me or anything. I'm not mad about it though, so far I see no difference from my normal self, except that I feel as light as air. They tell me I will, and the girls shows up with my burger. Then I ask who they are, and find they are some sort of paranormal creature hunters who hunt creatures that are a threat to humanity. I find out they are where ever we are looking for some sort of boar beast. I realize I'm missing something, but this part of the dream was fuzzy so I don't remember what I forgot. The brown haired guy offers to take me to the camper to see if what I'm looking for is in there. When we get to the camper, the door is still open, and when we step inside, the boar is in there! At first it just looks like a cute little pink piggy, but then it starts getting all spiky and growing, morphing into this hideous beast. I wake up before it's transformation is complete, thankfully.

I've got nothing for yesterday. I didn't take any notes because I'm trying to DEILD meaning I can't rollover and put notes in my phone or I'll screw it up. So far no luck in the DEILD process and the dreams yesterday were lame anyways. Dreaming of Drowning, my mom, just in general uncomfortable and stressful stuff. Not worth remembering to me. Oh, and my "C" key just keeps randomly not working, then it fixes it's self after about three or four sentences, so you'll have to over look what I can't fix with spell correct when it does that :/ I'm hoping this isn't the start of it dying completely.

Spoiler for Music:

I don't normally do this, but as stressed as I am right now over some life issues (hence the reason why I'm dreaming of stressful things) this is my comfort music and it actually works pretty good to set the mood for last night's last dream OK, I clicked the insert video button and input the URL like it said to but it's just making it a hyperlink Can anyone tell me how to fix it? Thanks! N/M... it doesn't show up in the previews, but it shows up when I post.

Dream One: A friend of my mom's is buying Pokemon cards from me. Only the cards have pictures of different rooms of our house, and when she buys them all and puts them together it's going to make our house magically appear and be hers.

Dream Two: I'm in a library. I find a book on the shelf that looks like the cover is moving. I pick it up to look at it, but it turns out to be a portal into a different point in the library where vampires and other mythical people/creatures live. They're not mean and vicious Vampires though, more like Johnny Depp in that movie Dark Shadows, more amusing than scary. (I haven't seen the movie, just the previews, and I wasn't even born when the original show aired so if I'm way wrong on this characters traits please forgive me) I go back to the main part of the library and try to find my best friend because I want to show her. When I find her, the book is gone! But I see a really hot librarian, like bleach blond hair and cheerleader body. I flag her down and ask her if she can show me how to get back to the secret part of the library. She's wary about it at first, but then decides that she can take us since I've already seen it. When we get to the secret part of the library I realize there are all kinds of neat spells and technology in play making things look totally different to people who might look through a window to the inside or accidentally wander in. The coolest part is that from the main part of the library it looks like there's a really high ceiling with windows inset into the ceiling so you can see the sky, but from the secret part of the library you can see that it's actually a big open area with a floor that rises up and down to take you from the lower levels to the upper levels via magic. We all three walk onto the moving floor so we can go up two levels tot he top of the library, but just as we get to the top floor, before it stops moving and clicks into place, something gos wrong. The floor starts shaking, and my best friend and the librarian are able to get off, but because I'm behind them, just as I'm reaching for the rail to hop off myself the floor plummets. When it crashes to the bottom, I can feel the bones in my feet and legs jolt and shift, and then a searing pain in my hips. My legs have broken through my hip bones, and are jutting out of the skin. Everything fades to black, and I wake up. I roll over without thinking, but then try to DEILD anyways.

Dream Three: I'm on a cruise ship with a rising floor very similar to the one in the previous dream, only this one is five times the size of a swimming pool, and 8 shaped like a pool as well. It's also operated by a spinning pole in the center not by magic... sort of like a sky needle in an amusement park, only the pole spins not the floor. I'm avoiding it at first. I'm with my mom, and we've just boarded the ship and some greying guy in uniform is telling us that they have just gotten the floor fixed and permission to reopen the ship. There are tables and tables of food, even something that looks like a giant chocolate pig. I LOVE chocolate, so I break some off and throw it in a napkin in my purse for later, then go to take a bite, but when I put it in my mouth it tastes so gross and greasy, like chocolate covered bacon. Then I realize it's not a chocolate pig, it's a chocolate covered pig! Like someone cooked the pig, then dipped it in chocolate. YUCK! I throw the napkin full of chocolate in my bag in the trash, no way do I want any of that later! Mom and I sit down and start talking on a couch along on of the walls in the dining room. I can't remember what we're talking about, but I think she was telling me that she was proud of me for coming on this cruise when I had just recovered from my injury at the library. A little boy probably around 6 or 7 walks up to us, he has no one with him. We ask where his parents are, and he tells us he's on this cruise by himself. He tells us he's really scared, but we look nice and seeing me with my mommy makes him miss his mommy. My mom offers to let him hang out with us so he's not lonely. He thanks us, then says he's scared of the dark and asks if we can stay in his room and sleep in his bed so he's not scared. My mom says sure, and then we decide to go walk around and explore the ship. As we're walking around we find that the whole thing is HUGE, and it looks like a giant mall inside. There is play equipment for kids to play on, there are store selling things, there are spas, and luxury rooms for people to sleep, there are also restaurants and a pool and hot tubs. It's amazing. I've never been on a cruise ship before, but this would have been damn near impossible to make, especially with that floor that takes you from level to level. Twice we stumble across this couple where the guy is trying to propose to the girl and there are cameras every where filming them. Of course when we accidentally walk in on them, they cut the tape and decide to try again and film it somewhere different (which is probably why we keep running into them). Then at one point we got on the moving floor and it started to shake and I was so scared it was going to fall again like in the last dream. Finally we settle down on another couch having walked around exploring for at least ten minutes. This time the couch over looks the moving floor so when its above our level we can see all the levels below and when it's below we can see all the levels above us. I over hear someone talking, and only half listen to it not trying to easedrop, but they're so loud you can't help but hear. Its the man complaining about how he keeps having to stop his proposal because we keep walking in on it and then he declares that he's a prince and he should have us commoners thrown in jail for ruining his royal proposal. This angers me, so I stand up, and suddenly I'm wearing tight black clothes and have a black cloak, very bad ass looking. I walk over to him, grab a drink on a nearby table, and throw it on him and his bride then start walking away. I don't stop at the couch to sit with my mom and the kid though, I keep walking. I feel very light and confident, and I hear the kid saying, "Why did she do that?" Then my mom says, "That's not Beth, I don't know who that is, but Beth never has confidence like that." While this would normally irritate and offend me, at the time I felt very calm and in control. I felt like I was above anger, and that while my actions against the prince weren't nice they were justified by his arrogance but arguing with my mom would just be petty. The prince yells for his guards to get me, and I sprint quickly away. Having already explored this place, I knew where I could hide and where everything was. First I go to the pool and hide in the showers, when the guards get past me there, I sprint off towards what looks like a dead end, but I do some fancy cool parkour moves and jump from wall to wall making my way up... like Mario in the N64 game, lol. At the top of the wall I realize I'm on a tower of some sort, but when I try to touch the railings, they're really flimsy and keep breaking. I get kind of scared, feeling like if I lose my balance and fall I'm going to get hurt really badly at best. I briefly toy with the idea that this can't be real, but never get lucid. I turn and run down a ramp connected to the tower, and find myself nearly face to face with a man in a black cape and beard. Not the prince, but a really bad ass looking commander of his guards. I remember thinking he'd make a good ally if only he weren't on the other team, he seemed to have most of his shit together. He sees me and tells his guards that they are idiots and I am right there! They need to capture me because I am a danger. I snort, and say, "If you want to get me under control, all you have to do is bring him to me." and I'm referring to Kurasawa at this point. I'm not lucid enough to realize that I'm dreaming, but I am aware enough that I know this is not my waking life and it's very possible for this man to bring him to me. Instead though, the guards rush at me, like five of them in two lines, and I sprint off again, only to wake up a few feet later.

Dream One: (This dream was really vivid and stuck with me when I woke up from it at 3 am, and now I can't remember it well -_- I don't even understand my notes, but I'm going to write what I can remember and see it anything comes back. Sorry if this end up sounded random and mixed up, lol) The world reminds me of the steam punk world of "Masque of the red death" by Bethany Griffin, not Poe. I'm with two men, but they don't feel like the main character guys from the book. I'm fairly sure one of them was Kurasawa, but I was never lucid so I could be wrong and just assumed because he had blond hair. My notes say running woods, so we were probably running through the woods. I think the people chasing us were after us because we could either do magic, or some sort of magic had been done on us. I also think that in this dream at least one, if not both men with me were already dead and reanimated corpses, like Zombies but not after brains and much less scary/more normal looking. I debate pretending to be dead to see if that'll make the people chasing us stop, but fear they might stab me or something just to be sure, so I don't. My notes say scarves... No clue what that's about now. I think I remember a cave as well, and trying to climb up a rock wall in the cave to escape through a hole in the top of the cave, but while I'm climbing my mask breaks (in the book, people wear masks to help them not get sick with the plague) and I freak out.

Dream Two: I'm getting ready to go to high school, and I'm thinking about how I'm going to get there. I remember that I had a boyfriend, and that he took me to school the day before. I wonder if I should ask him to take me to school again? Then I try to remember where he lives and if it's going to make his drive a lot longer if he has to go out of his way to get me. I consider that maybe I should drive my car to pick him up and take him to school since he took me the day before. Then I wonder if that will hurt his pride. Then I wonder if I really even like him that much, or if I'm just dating him because he asked me. Then I wonder if it's really right for me to date him if I don't have strong feelings for him because I'm just wasting his time. I wake up before I ever actually work through all these complicated emotions.

Dream Three: I'm in my car waiting in a gas station parking lot for my mom to show up. My car starts rolling forwards, even though I have the parking break on. I back the car up, and it rolls forwards again. The car moving back and forth attracts the attention of a group of five guys dressed in punk and leather clothes. They start walking towards me, cracking their knuckles and making me feel really uncomfortable. I start the car and move it again out of their view. My mom shows up, and starts talking about it being Halloween or something. I show her that I'm wearing a red shirt with the looney toons cat on it that says, "Wanna pet me?" and a pair of black leggins and all I need are kitty ears and I think it counts as costume enough.

Dream Four: I'm going through a drive through with a guy, but somehow in the middle of it the dream shifts and it's not a drive through, we're inside the store. The guy behind the counter starts flirting with me, but I try to pretend I don't notice. There's a kids meal toy display in our way blocking the line, so I move it and the flirting guy runs up and offers to help telling me that it's his job and he feels bad that I had to move it. The guy I'm with grabs out food and we're walking out the door, he tells me that he can't believe that guy had the nerve to flirt with me when I was in the store with a guy.

Dream Five: I'm playing Mario Kart, but my characters keep running into an invisible wall. I cant get past it, but my husband takes the controller, and he gets past it no problem. Then there are giant round angry birds falling onto the track crushing cars. My car has a health bar, and it's really low, so I grab the wheel from my husband and avoid all the rest of the birds because I'm better at that than he is Suddenly the dream shifts and we're racing on an obstacle course in a garage. My daughter falls over an obstacle, but she's ok. I realize it's gotta be close to time for school and check my clock. It's 8:44, and then it jumps to 9:40, but I don't notice, instead I just tell my husband the kids are too late for school for them to count as present even if we took them in right now, so I want to just skip school today. Then I wake up. (A lot of missed reality checks in that one. My kids aren't even school age yet! lol)

Already posted my dreams from the first part of the morning, but since I was able to fall back to sleep I'm making a second post with these dreams.

Dream Three: I'm at an out door fair of some sort with my family. We walk into an auditorium, and from here I think we were watching a movie. I remember there being cars racing against each other in some sort of high tech race track that lights up and has moving water obstacles. There was a plot to the whole video, some guys were chasing a car that had kidnapped their sister or something on this race track. The cars wrecked, and the guys ended up not only saving their sister, but the bad guys life as well. There was also some sort of bomb planted on the sister in her bra, and if they didn't deactivate it she and everyone else would blow up. A woman in a cat suit showed up with a phone and called the bomb to deactivate it. The sister was surprised by the vibrations, but no one blew up, lol. Then I'm back in the auditorium, and I lay down across a couple of seats because I think I'm tired. I notice on the floor is a little plastic coin, and when I pick it up I realize it's one of the Pokemon coins to my son's Pokemon card game. No sooner to I pick it up do I realize there's another one on the floor too. I pick it up as well, then notice someone is crawling UNDER the seats. It's my friend T! He's saying something about gay marriage, and I tell him I'm so sorry that the amendment passed and he's that much farther from gay marriage being made legal. Then I wake up.

Dream Four: I wake up, and I find my mouth hurts. I notice something is floating around in my mouth. I spit it out, and it's a tooth! I go to show my husband that one of my teeth fell out while I was asleep and he asks me which one. I try to feel with my tongue to find which one, and another tooth falls out! I feel around with my tongue some more and find two wholes in my mouth where the teeth should be and as soon as I find the holes they start pouring blood and all I can do is cough and sputter trying to spit it out and breathe. I woke up freaked out and had to make sure all my teeth were still there! lol

Dream Five: There is a man who I am playing very sweet and innocent with. I'm letting him make all the come ons and pretending that I don't get his games and know what he really wants to do. He looks like the guy from the chlorine and chocolate dream, but I don't connect the dots and realize this is a dream. We get to the point where we are making out, but the dream resets and I'm back to walking inside the building looking for him. I'm annoyed, and lazy to do this a second time, so I take a different approach. I walk in and see his two body guards drinking and lazying out on the job as well. I walk up to them and wave a little green and gold wand with a feather on it and little gold glitter specks drift out of it and into their breath and put them to sleep. The guy comes sauntering in, and sees his men, and me standing there. He demands to know who put his men to sleep. I tell him I did in a flirty and seductive tone. He refuses to believe me, and says, "Your far too small and beautiful to satisfy my men." I say something like, "Beautiful? Me? no no no, I'm dangerous, very very dangerous." Then he tells me, "Yes, you are beautiful. Like the Autumn leaves in the fall." and I laugh and trace a finger across his shoulder and try to be seductive and lead him into another room. I wake up when he starts to follow me though.

Kind of disappointed, with all the talk of lucids in my first couple dreams, I hoped I'd be lucid in these dreams, but I wasn't even close. :/
