dream fragment

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.

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.

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.

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 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 didn't bother trying to remember my dreams very well last night as I was actually able to sleep and didn't have insomnia (hooray for 10 hours of sleep! I needed it!) I was kind of scared that if I moved around too much I'd end up waking myself up too much and the insomnia would strike. this entry will probably be short compared to my usual!

Dream One: The dream starts off with me in the office of the Church I used to be a secretary for about 6 years ago. I decide I need to hurry up and leave and get to my other job, at Dominos (also worked there 6 years ago at the same time) because I'm expecting someone who controls the weather to make it rain. I walk to Dominos, and I see my apartment (I lived in 3 years ago) is right behind Dominos. I'm pretty happy it's so close because I need to change before work. I go change, but then instead of going to Dominos, I go to the park for a city wide story time!

Dream Two: I'm in a shop where they sell clothes for Asian Ball Jointed Dolls. I'm thinking that I am one of the dress makers. (I can sew in waking life, but only simple things, not tiny doll clothes!) Then suddenly the dream shifts and I'm a party planner and I'm planning a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese, but I can't figure out where chuck e cheese is.

Dream Three (Fragment):

Spoiler for lady problems:

That time of the month comes early and unexpectedly, while I'm in public (I think maybe out to eat) and I'm completely unprepared and under supplied

Dream Four: I'm at Target with my husband, wandering through the little girls clothes. I'm so excited to see a Pinkalicious Dress in Pink and Yellow, and pink Pinkalicious shoes. My daughter LOVES Pinkalicious. I'm trying to find them in her size when my buddy B comes up to us to say hey. I'm surprised he's there because I thought he worked at Walmart, but he tells me he switched to Target because they have cooler customers. Then B tells me he has George Clooney's phone number now because he bought a sofa from them and B had to confirm the delivery. Then we leave and go to visit the parents of one of my exboyfriends. They still call and check on me once a year or so and talk to me when they see me in stores, so it's only slightly odd, lol. My Ex's mom tells me I look beautiful that day, and I thank her and find I'm hoping one of my other exes shows up to see how hot I look and kick himself in the butt. Dream logic Then, the best part of the dream, My ex's parents start asking me what is this lucid dreaming I'm posting about on facebook, it's not drugs or something is it? And I start explaining to them that there are no drugs involved, it's just controlling your dreams. I wake up and want to kick myself for not realizing that I was dreaming at the time! It wouldn't have done me much good since I woke up right afterwards, but even if for only a few seconds would have been awesome. I really need to reality check more when thinking about dreams and being lucid!

Dream One: I'm walking through my dads old neighborhood. I can hear rapping behind me, but no music with it. I turn around to see a girl and boy walking behind me, rapping and tapping out a beat with their feet on the street. I really am not a rap music fan, but there are some songs I like. This song, I'd never heard before, but I remember in the dream thinking it was really good, especially considering it was being sung by little kids! I end up at a house picking up a little girl from a baby sitters. Maybe it was my daughter, but she was grown up to be around 6 or 7. I woke up as soon as I saw her and knew I was supposed to be taking her home.

Dream Two: I'm at a mall, walking into a victoria secret with my husband. I take a quick look around, and instantly know I don't want anything from here. Not only is everything either white or green and totally not my style, but I just don't feel like depressing myself trying on lingerie that's not going to fit. There's a middle aged man behind the desk and he tells me I should look around because everything is on sale today and I will probably find a really good deal! I give in and think I'll probably find SOMETHING I'll like. I start looking around, and stumble across rain coats. My first thought was back to the conversation I'd had a few days ago about how when I was a kid they made coats for rain, and I never see rain coats in stores anymore. I see one of the raincoats is grey with black and white skull and crossbones patterns. I LOVE it, and my mom shows up and tells me to try it on. I decide to try on a medium because I know a small probably won't button. I can't button it on top. I start getting depressed again. I do not want to try a large because I know it's going to sag and hang around the arms and the bottom will probably just drop straight off from the breast making me look fat instead of dipping back in and being somewhat form fitting. My mom suggests that I could buy the medium and just not button it, or button it around the belly and leave the top open, saying it would be sexier that way anyways. I think about it for a second, then go ahead and decide to buy it. I go to check out, and the line is taking forever! When I finally go to check out, the guy tells me how much it's going to be, and I hand him my debit card. He then returns it and says their card machine has been broken for a week now and he can only accept cash. I'm mad at this point, because he could have told me that BEFORE when he told me that everything was on sale. I'm mad because I feel like I just went through all that body image trouble for nothing, I'm mad because I really wanted that rain coat, and I'm mad because it's embarrassing to be told you can't pay for something. I tell him he should have told me before, and he just shurgs his shoulders, so I say "Fuck you!" and throw the raincoat at him and storm out of the store. I'm ready to leave the mall completely, but my mom wants to look around a bit more. So I walk around with her a minute, then decide to walk by myself, for some reason I feel like being around her is only going to make things worse (a really good chance to get lucid, missed.) I pass by a display showing kids beach towels, and I notice there are hooded ones with Nintendo characters and Disney faeries on them. Those hooded towels are the kind of towels my kids like to use when they get out of the bathtub, and my daughters Tinkerbell towel was bleached out, so I think I'm going to find this store and buy a couple for them. The display says Fantastic Towels! on it, so I look for a store called Fantastic Towels, instead I find one called Fantastic Hair and Things. I wonder if that's it, and walk in to ask the clerk. It is, and she shows me the towels, but she's not sure which ones are hooded and which ones are regular beach towels, so we have to unfold them to check. I find the faeries one, and then I find the Nintendo one, and then I see one with a pink horses head on it. I Think the horse one might me a pony towel, and my daughter loves ponies too (so do I, but I was thinking of her at the time, I swear, lol) but when I unfold it, it's a sea horse, and it's head doesn't look anything like a horse anymore. The towel is black and says sea dragon on it in cyan blue with the powder pink sea horse on it. I think about getting it for my daughter anyways, but decide not to. I fold it back up and realize my mom is in the store behind me! I show her the towels I found, and tell her why I want to buy them. She says it's a good idea. I ask the clerk if they accept cards since Victoria's Secret didn't, and she said sure, no problem! But the towels aren't ringing up, and she's not sure why. I wake up. This is one of those rare dreams where I can point out where most of this came from. I had just had a conversation about raincoats with my husband and son yesterday when it looked like it was going to rain, but it was way too windy for an umbrella. As for why it was at Victoria's Secret and I was uncomfortable the whole dream, I had just had a conversation with my mom about the assets I had gained when I was preggo with my kids, and how I'd hoped they'd go away if I lost the 15 pounds of baby weight I put on when I was preggo with the kids. The hooded towels I was thinking about last night as well, and had told my husband we needed to buy new ones. Too bad all dreams aren't so easy to decode, ha ha.

Dream Three (fragment): I'm working at a grocery store and I am supposed to be taking food that is about to expire and is past it's sell date to the local food bank because we can't sell it anymore or something. Later on someone asks me if I took it there, or if I just took it home for myself, because apparently I could have done either. I took it to the food bank though, and they seemed kind of mad because apparently they wanted the food but it wasn't their day to take it. They must have been hoping I'd take it home and they could just go get it from my house or something.

Dream Four: I'm in a small boat with my husband and an Asian lady. The coat is TINY, like canoe size, and we're on a lake probably a hundred feet wide. It's the middle of the night, but the moon is full casting a lot of eerie light. Around the lake are these really, REALLY big creepy trees. There are also lots of these huge trees sticking out of the water as though they'd fallen over and were now growing out of the lake. There's some abandoned farming equipment here and there (big stuff, like tractors and combines and stuff), even an abandoned tank! They're all rusted, and look like they've been in the lake for years. I'm in total awe of how creepy and junky the whole place is, almost apocalyptic, but in the dream I knew the world hadn't ended or anything, the people where ever I was just didn't care about taking care of the environment. The boat was moving really fast through the water, as if it had a motor or something on it, but I couldn't see any motor and I was in the back. I held on tightly afraid it'd tip over. The lake was calm though, so the only waves were the wake from out boat. We were steering by leaning side to side, and a couple times we'd accidentally bump into trees, but we were able to grab the trees to steady the boat, it wasn't big enough to be too heavy to pick up ourselves. Looking over the edge, I saw fish swimming below, and they were gigantic. It was really scary when dolphin sized fish would swim under the boat! I was worried they've capsize it, and who knows if any of them were meat eating fish. We stopped at one point at a house, and went inside because it was someone the Asian lady knew. I remember seeing prints in frames on the wall, and thinking I have some by the same artist ( Princess of the Night : 8th Day Anime, ...and on the 8th day, there was anime <--- one of the prints I have, I don't have time to look for the ones in the dream, if he even makes ones like that for real, lol ) My husband also pointed out some of the DVDs on the shelf. There were a lot called, "The Promise of the Fallen" and I remember the title hitting a nerve, but not why it seemed to make me sad. I looked it up to see if it was a book or movie I'd read, and I didn't find it. (after posting, I remembered this dream, and now wonder if it's related? 6-1-11, Important dreams from the past: We are the star called - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views ) We also saw some dresses, like toddler sized dresses, hanging up and I thought they were oddly fancy and nice for the depressing and murky feel of the rest of the dream. When we got back on the water, we crashed into some trees again, and fell out of the boat onto the land. The lady was getting scared being on land, freaking out about the wild animals, and I kept telling her we needed to get back in the boat then, but she just kept clinging to the tree saying, "I'm scared, I'm too scared! I can't move!" Then I woke up. The dream probably wasn't very long, but I woke up so creeped out by how eerie the whole thing was. I went back to sleep after that, but couldn't remember anymore dreams.

Edited to add dreams from my nap. THey weren't very long so they don't really deserve their own entry.

Dream One: We were trying to figure out how to put a manufactured home on this property along with the house and get around the all new houses need 2 acres law that passed a few years back. We thought we'd figured it out, but then I woke up and realized that the lot and house in the dream didn't look anything like this lot and house. and that we only have 1.9 acres, not 2.9, so the idea to break the land in half and put the new house on the 2.0 lot acres and only give the already built house the .9 acre lots wouldn't work either.

Dream Two: I was hanging out with my bi friend and her boyfriend, who was someone totally different in dream than in real life. It almost evolved into a threesome, but I woke up while making out with my friend :/

I read a book yesterday called A Touch Mortal, and while it wasn't a particularly great book, the dark atmosphere gave me some pretty cool dreams I just wish I was able to remember them better. First one's in a spoiler tag because I realize it probably gets a bit graphic in the blood and guts department.

Spoiler for Dream One:

Dream One: the dream was set inside a house with a bunch of people. Apparently something had happened and there was no power and no food. I think there might have been a flood as well, but I can't be 100% sure about that. I was responsible for protecting the people of the house and keeping things together. I instructed a tall guy with long dark hair to gather a group of people and take them out to search the houses around us for food. I'm not sure what killed off most of the population (maybe vampires?), but in the dream it was understood that just about everyone had died and no one was in any of the other houses in town. But, it was also understood that we needed to keep a low profile because something was after us, that's why were were grouped together. Safety in numbers. The group leaves to find food, and i check out store in the pantry. I notice we have plenty of food already, but I wonder what's going to happen in the future when all the food that can be scavenged is either gone or expired and there are no factories to make new food. We'd have to grow our own, and I had no idea how much land we'd need to grow enough food to feed us all, and how to preserve it to last year long. While I'm wondering about this, a kind comes running in and says the scavengers were attacked. I rush outside, and there are vampires attacking the group outside. There are probably ten or fifteen vampires, and they all look about the same. They have grey skin that sticks to their bones and sags like skinny elderly people, their hair is dark brown, and shoulder length. there's no telling if they're male or female, they could have passed for both. They have this wicked long teeth that make me wonder how they can even close their mouths. They aren't your pretty Ann Rice or Twilight vampires, there's no mistaking these things for humans the way they're faces are... I'd say they were a combination of Buffy the Vampire Slayer vamps and the Chiropteran from Blood +. The scavengers fall to the ground, blood pooling all around them. Two of the vampires grab each of my arms and rip into my wrists. I feel the skin ripped from them, and watch as blood sprays out like in a Kill Bill movie. I stare at my left arm in horror as I feel light headed and sink to my knees. Then I realize something. The whole world is dead, but I'm still alive. We're still alive... I should be dead by now with all the blood I've lost, but I'm not. Then I think there's got to be a reason why I can't die, and then I just know I'm immortal, I can't die or I would have by now. (duh, I'm dreaming! But I totally missed this chance to be lucid) I fight the lightheadedness and grab the nearest stick I can find and stand up. I yell out to the other scavengers that if they're still alive, then it must be because we can not die. I tell them that I know it hurts, but stand up and fight with me to protect those inside. I lunge at a vampire with the stick and drive it through his chest with inhuman strength. The stick and my hand go all the way through, and then I pull them back out to catch a vampire that's coming up from behind me. The stick breaks in half on the second impact. I use my other hand to grab the half of the stick that broke off inside the second vamp and pull it out. Just then a third one jumps me, and knocks me down. I don't fight it, I let it tear into my throat as I reach my arms around behind it and stab it with both sticks from behind. It goes limp on top of me, and I toss it off. I reach up and feel my neck in shreds, and marvel at how it doesn't hurt and I and still alive, then I look around and see my five scavengers standing up bloody, but healing quickly enough now that the fight is over that I can see the wounds closing up. Pretty cool! We take the food inside, and start to sort through it and put it away, then someone mentions needing a shower. I wonder how we're going to manage that with no power, but then I come up with a crazy idea. I tell them they will have to go back out and get as many gallons of water as they can from the nearest grocery store. I also tell them to get some funnels. I plan to make a shower by poking holes in the bottom of a plastic bottle hanging in a tree, and pouring water into it, letting the water drip down like a shower. I also think that we can set the extra gallons of water outside when it rains with the funnels in them to catch the rain and give us a good reserve. I'm really proud of this idea and my resourcefulness in the dream, and go outside to marvel at how much easier the situation seems now, and how much less scary the world looks with a plan. I see a ladder to my left, and look up. There's a gnome on the roof. wearing a handy man uniform. He tells me that our roof needs to be repaired because it has some sort of moss growing on it. I think, "great, more problems!" and then I wake up, lol.

That dream was partially influenced by the book, as there are people in the book called "Siders" who are immortal... but no vamps or end of the world

Dream Two (Fragment): There's a man who's an evil angel. He's trying to convince a bunch of people that he's a good guy and they should follow him and worship him. I know he's wrong, and I know he's the evil one, because I know a good angel in the dream. In the dream I point out that he's evil, and he tells me to prove it, so I tell some story about how when he came to earth he needed a favor, and the cost of having that favor granted was being split into two halves. Then I point out how he and the good angel look exactly alike, because they are the same angel, split into his good half and his bad half. At this revelation, they combine, and instead of having a good angel and a bad angel, there is now an angel who knows right from wrong, but has the emotion to do wrong to protect those he loves. I hug the angel, happy he's back to normal, then wake up. The good angel/bad angel thing definitely came from the book I had read, lol

Dream Three (Fragment):I'm going to Animazement with my best friend. She comes to my house, and rushes me out. Suddenly we're in the car and she's asking me if we're staying in a hotel or a house. I tell her we're staying in a hotel with two rooms, and then we're there! We put our things in our room, and then decide to go to the rave (which is what they call their dance to make it sound cooler, LOL) but I realize that I have forgotten to pack clothes to wear! I've only got extra underwear and two extra shirts.

Dream One: The dream starts out that I get a book in the mail. The book is a paper back book, but a translation of some sort of ancient Egyptian spell book. I'm very excited because I think it will have all sorts of cool spells to try, as well as recipes for making my own bath and ritual oils and such. My husband is outside when I get the book, and he's chatting with the oldest neighborhood kid. For some reason my husband decides he wants to go explore the attic, so we all three go inside and start walking up a spiral staircase into the attic. (In waking life, our attic doesn't even have a ladder, you have to climb in through the closet!) While we're up there I'm talking about the book I have, and my husband is doing the usual pretending to be interested when he isn't actually paying any attention at all :/ But then either he or the neighbor spots a mummified body in the attic! My husband says it's really old, so we need to take the hands in to the police for identification. He searches for a bag, and when he finds a brown paper bag he puts it over the hands of the mummy and breaks the hands off into the bag! It's all dusty and it stinks really bad. I'm ready to get out of there, all creeped out by this body, so we start down the stairs, but the boys go in front of me. I start joking that the mummy scared the piss out of me, and asked my husband if he'd give me his underwear if I really had had the piss scared out of me. He says no way, I'd have to walk around wet! So I say, "Oh come on, someone would have to man up and give me his underwear if I had the piss scared out of me! Your my husband, you should be more than willing to take one for the team and go commando so I don't have to walk around covered in pee!" He doesn't find this amusing, but the neighbors kid does. Then we are at the bottom of the steps and out of the house. We go to the other neighbors house (b/c he's a police officer) and it's the police station (<3 dream logic, ha ha) His ex wife is behind a desk as the secretary, and she takes the bag and tells us thank you very much like everything is fine. I start leaving, and the kid follows me, but my husband stays behind for who knows what reason. Then I overhear someone say that we found the body in the attic and they'd have to move their laser gun target somewhere else. Then the neighbors kid stops and asks me if I'm scared. I'm thinking this is some sort of undercover scandal by the police, and I totally don't want to piss them off! But then I remember I have my spell book. I hold it up and tell him, No way, I'm not scared, I have the magic I need to keep us safe. Then I wake up.

Dream Two (Fragment): I bought pajamas for the kids from JC Penny with some sort of coupon I had.

Dream Three: I'm trying to teach my mom how to play the Kinect, but we've got it set up outside, at the lake. So in order to be far enough away from the sensor, you have to be in the water, and right next to where the ground makes a HUGE drop from like 3 feet deep water to 9 feet deep water, lol. The kinect game it's self is awesome! For some reason you can be Link from the Legend of Zelda, and go running through Hyrule field by running in place. Or you can chose to exercise, with Link as your personal trainer. And it wasn't toon link or anything either, it was grown up Ocarina of Time Link. I remember thinking in the dream I'd work out all day long if I got to watch grown up Link bend and stretch the whole time! I also thought having the adventure mode was a really awesome idea. I wondered why I don't play this game all the time? Then I woke up!

Dream Four: I'm watching in third person as Serena from Sailor Moon gets a present from her boyfriend, Darien. It's a little tiny circle ornament with her picture in it, but it's the cartoon version of sailor moon, in my dream I knew Serena was Serena, but they weren't cartoons. She asks what it is, and he tells her it's a pendant to remind her that he is always there, always thinking of her. She loves it, but then it's late and she's fighting with her family, and she runs away. She sleeps in a tree, and then goes to the store to buy some food, and her money is stolen right out of her pocket.

Dream Five: Not sure how this happened, but I pretty much had the same dream twice, only this second version was a bit different. Serena's parents are splitting up or something. Her father moves out, and she goes with him, but her mom won't let her take her things out of the house. Her dad ignores her for the most part, and she's really sad and lonely. She's cold, and calls her mom to ask if she can just take one pair of socks to her dads because her feet are freezing. Her mother says no. The next morning, her dad sends her and her sister to the grocery store. They have a buggy full of canned foods, and they can't walk and carry them all, so they decide to push the buggy full of stuff home. There's a steep hill, and Serena's sister refuses to help push the buggy because she's one of those uber girly chics who refuse to do anything that might brake their nails. The sister then takes bitchyness a step farther, and climbs into the buggy claiming she's too tired to walk up the hill! The buggy starts going backwards down the hill and Serena can't stop it and is nearly run over by it before the sister finally hops out! When Serena gets it up the hill, she's crying. Inside her house, Darien shows up and gives her a gift for her birthday... and apparently it's shis birthday too! So she gives him a sweater or something she made herself. The gift he gives her is the ornament and a CD. She sees the ornament and says something like, "I'm sorry, I just don't get what this is?" Darien tells her to chill it's just something they there in the box when he bought the CD. But Serena says she loves it, and it feels like it's important to her and she was meant to have it, she's just not sure why it feels so familiar. The he tells her that he spoke to his guidance councilor about her, and the guidance councilor seems to think she's just waiting on him, so he wants her to know that he loves her, and he's ready when ever she is to run away together and start the rest of their lives.

Dream Six: I'm at best buy to get a new Skylanders toy for my little boy (there's still ONE that we're missing, lol) I go to get my wallet out of my car, and some strange dude with a beard gets in my car. I ask him to get out of my car, and he refuses and starts laughing at me, so I start yelling at him until he finally gets out of my car. Then a heavy set blond guy (think the son from family guy, lol) gets in my car because he thought it was funny that I was yelling at the other dude. I yell at him and threaten to shove my foot up his ass if he doesn't get out of my effing car! He doesn't move, just laughs. So I open the trunk of the car, and I get out a stroller, and proceed to start hitting him with it. He just keeps laughing at me, he's not in any pain what so ever. I keep hitting him and he keeps laughing, I get so frustrated. Then I pull the stroller WAY back and hit him as hard as I can. That time it hurts, and he's all, "All right all right, chill woman, I'm getting out!" He gets out of my car and I fling the stroller at him and hit him in the back as he walks off. I tell him to think twice before he laughs at me again! Then I grab my money, and close the car and go into the store. Inside, there's a HUGE line waiting to get this toy. I hope in line, and spend a lot of time just standing there. I see a book nearby with a grey and brown pony on it looking at a muffin. I think it's a book about Derpy at first, and I get all excited, "Is that a new Pony book?!" but then I open it up, and I realize that what looks like ponies on the front cover is really a couple of bunnies on the inside. Damn. I close the book and put it back disappointed. I wait in line a bit more before I wake up.

Dream One: I was standing outside the grocery store, in the grass beside the parking lot. There's a stop sigh nearby, and a big hole in front of the stop sign. Not like a vertical hole in the ground, but it goes in at an angle like a tunnel. As soon as I walk up to it, I recognize it as my friend M's house. I call into the hole asking if she's home, and I see her boyfriend's shoes. He call ups she's not home but should be home shortly. I thank him, and then stand back up. My friend M drives by in a car at that moment and waves when she stops at the stop sign. I wake up.

Dream Two: I'm not sure why I can't go back to sleep, so I get up and go into the living room to read a bit. I pick up a book off the floor thinking my husband missed it when he was cleaning last night. It's my daughters barbie book. I start to flip through the pages for some reason, and find myself thinking that's not what this book was about! I wonder if I'm dreaming, but I decide that I can't be dreaming because I could read. The text wasn't changing at all. I put the dream back, and it's daylight outside. I get a call from my mom, and answer it. She's telling me that her friend still wants her and us to move into that big house and rent to own the place. I say ok, instead of sticking to my decision of no. Then I'm in the kitchen, but the kitchen cabinets are the color of the bathroom cabinet. And then mom starts saying the pipes in the big house were cut off, and I actually see the pipes in front of me as if I'm there looking at them. They're moving like that pipes screen saver windows used to have pre-installed. I wake up, and curse for not doing a second RC.

Dream Three: I'm talking to my best friend A about weather and looking at a weather radar. There's some sort of blue and red flashing circle above New England, and the edges of this blue and red area are bright orange. I ask my friend A what's up with the radar above New England? She doesn't know, so I zoom in. Then I see the map as a 3d satellite rendering, like Google earth. There's a big red line and it looks like a lava trail, except it's spinning. I wake up to my daughter screaming about dragons.

Dream Four: I'm in the car with my husband and kids, going home from a small town nearby. We're watching the weather radar, and there's a tornado coming. I tell my husband to go straight home, that the tornado is moving in the opposite direction, so we should be fine if we head home. Then the tornado JUMPS and lands in front of us. We quickly unbuckle the kids, then lay in a ditch with them, but the tornado doesn't hit us. It jumps again. We buckle up quickly and start going back home. The Phone rings, waking me up.

Dream Five: I'm at my high school, and for some reason I have alcohol in my bag? A friend from school that I was always in a love/hate type friendship with wants his alcohol out of the bag, and I realize some of the alcohol isn't mine but his. I give it to him, and wonder if I'm going to get in trouble for having it at school. Then I realize I'm of age, so who's going to have a problem with me having alcohol? There's a storm coming, and the overhead speakers blare that schools canceled and we need to go home. I'm wanting to go to a different building to get my headphones (apparently they were awesome Mario head phones too!) But the buildings are being locked and evacuated. The halls are tightly packed, and there's a stop light in the hall stopping people from blocking the intersections. I'm standing at a stop light, and the power flickers then goes out. I barely step to the side fast enough to avoid being trampled. When the crowd clears, my son is with me. I see my husband, and he says he has to go lock the river cabin before he can go home and I need to go pick up our daughter. I ask him why he has to lock the river cabin, and he says he was there last week. I get so pissed to know he was there last week and left it unlocked for a whole week! then he says it's fine, no one's going to care. I try to explain we had trouble with people crashing at the cabin, but he doesn't listen and blows me off. I'm mad, but I take my son outside to leave anyways, getting my daughter is more important! I hear a message over the loud speaker again, this time saying there was an accident and we've lost one of our students. I feel bad, but I need to get my daughter. I put my son in the car, then I notice someone laying on the ground. I walk around my car to get a better view, and there's a black SUV that has run this person over, and the drive is none other than my husband! The run over person gets up, he's just a kid in high school! He tells me that he's fine, but he's going to go to the doctor anyways and we're going to be hearing from his lawyer. My husband decides he's going to drive my car, and hops in the drivers seat. I notice he's driving crazy! He's saying he's going to end up losing his license now, and I'm like pull over and let me drive! We are arguing, making him swerve more, so I decide to stop and let him concentrate. As soon as we get to my daughter's school (she's not even in school, lol) I ask him to put her in her car seat. When he gets out of the drivers seat to do so, I climb over the center console and into the drivers seat. He can't drive now, ha ha! But then he refuses to get in the car. He wanders off into the storm. I'm worried, but then I tell myself he's an adult and he isn't stupid, he can take care of himself and he'll go inside somewhere because he's terrified of Tornados. I drive off, then park and go inside some church. I am walking in with the kids, and I see there's a wedding going on. the priest says something like, "I now pronounce you gay man and wife" and there's are two beautiful women getting married. I feel like I know them, and I am soooo happy for them that I'm actually crying tears of joy. But then a lady taps me on the shoulder and asks if I'm me, I say yes, and she tells me that my husband has been run over, and he's passed away. I'm in shock and disbelief, and then I start to walk out of the church just leaving my kids in there. The walls are suddenly while tile. There are red tiles that light up and stack on top of one another alternating between 2 and 5 tiles high. Every three white columns, there's a column with red lights, marking a trail or path. I follow the path to a bathroom, where I see my husbands back as he slips into a stall. I yell out to him, thanking whatever gods are out there that let him be alive. He tells me to stop, he's a ghost, and I shouldn't see him. Then I tell him no, he has to be alive, I need him! Then he tells me that's the problem, "I want need him, but it's not because I want him." then I wake up to the phone ringing again.

Well, now it's my turn to have a stomach bug. Thankfully my daughter's sickness only lasted a day, so I'm hoping mine will be gone by tonight as well On the downside, I was up until 3 am sick, then I got to bed, but woke back up around 7 and couldn't go back to sleep yet. On the bright side, the belly ache is sort of helping with getting lucid. I think the pain was waking me up enough to get lucid but not enough to actually wake me up, if that makes sense. I'm typing up my lonely fragment from those three hours, and when my husband gets home in half an hour or so I'm going back to bed. Hopefully I'll have more to add to this entry when I wake up. I'm feeling like I'm on a real roll right now. After going over a month with no lucidity, I've suddenly been lucid to some degree for three nights in a row. I don't want it to ever end! lol

Dream One (Fragment): Through out the whole dream I hover between lucid and non lucid. I can't remember what happened during the non lucid parts because it's my first dream of the night. I can remember realizing, I'm dreaming. I'm lucid! Then I see a puppet version of an old man. It looks like a cross between that ventriloquist dummy on tv and the old men from the Muppet movie I watched last night. He starts talking about neighbors like Mr. Rogers and I feel lucidity slipping. I literally feel like I'm fighting to stay lucid, but I end up drifting off anyways. I get another wave of lucidity as someone offers me his hand. I realize I'm dreaming. I look first at the room, it's a ball room similar to the one in beauty and the beast. It feels very romantic, and I can recall being lucid earlier in the dream so I wonder if I'm with K. I turn to look at the man holding my hand. I see my own blue dress like Cinderella and my hand in his, then I look up to see his face (I'm 5 feet tall, I always have to look up to everyone, lol) But just as I try to look at his face my head feels heavy like I'm falling. I reach up with my empty hand to touch my head as if to catch myself and step forwards to maintain my balance, but the dream goes black and fades away to the sound of the neighbors car alarm going off at 5:30 am.

Dream Two (Fragment): I realize I'm dreaming. I don't know why I realized, I just did. I see a white cloth flapping in the wind. It looks like a bed sheet. I wonder why that's all I can see, and guess it's because it's an early dream. I'm startled awake by my daughter crying that she's falling. Thankfully, she's not really falling, she's in her bed, right in the center. I find myself wondering what kind of dream she was having, because I've been getting that falling sensation after a lucid ends lately. My husband got home at 9:30, so I went back to bed.

My husband got home at 9:30, so I took a three hour nap (had to be up at 12:30 so I could write this and hopefully find my way into the chat for the dream view academy class.) I slept hard because the stomach ache is gone, not much to report on dreams, just more fragments.

Dream Three: At some point I'm in a library, looking something up. At another point I'm looking at a house. It looks like a rendering n a computer or something because there's no ground around it. All I can see if the house (like a little fairy tail cottage of some sort) and two water walls. One water fall is to the back right of the house, and it forms a pool under that corner of the house that flows out through a tiny creek from the front of the house. The second waterfall is at the front left of the house, also forming a little pool under the house, and this time running out the back. The water falls are so identical, it looks like someone copy pasted them and just rotated them differently.

Took another nap:

Dream Four (fragment): I dreamed I was trying to fall asleep, but it was storming and there was a buffalo outside. Every time I'd start to drift off, the buffalo would ram into either the front or back door making a huge ruckus. My kids were terrified of the storm, so its not like I was nodding off very often. I had to LOL when I woke up, because sometimes real life feels like this, only instead of a buffalo ramming the doors, it's thoughts in my head refusing to be quiet and instead of my kids being afraid of a storm they just don't want to go to bed.

Dream One (Fragments): I'm driving home on the interstate, watching the trees fly past me, marveling at how pretty and twisted they are. Then, the scene shifts completely and I'm watching this guy mowing lawns, he's on his cell phone calling other clients at the same time. Someone doesn't want him to come mow this week, so he starts raving about how if they don't cut their grass the rabid squirrels will invade their yard and they will be doomed! Then the scene changed again, and I', watching my friend T, who's gay, talk about working in a porn shop. I find it really odd that he's working in a place full of naked women. He's so smart he could do better, and being gay, it's not like the naked chic's perk is doing him any good.

Dream Two (Fragments): The earliest point I can remember of this dream, I'm pulling my shirt up and looking at these nasty red lines on my sides that are going up from my hips to right below my rib cage. At first I assume they are stretch marks, but then I remember I don't have stretchmarks that look like this. Stretch marks are thin silver lines, and mine are all horizontal wrapping around my belly, these are vertical and at least a half inch thick. They look more like popped blisters, pink in the center and redder and redder as you get to the edge. They don't hurt at least. Felling like this is odd, I turn to the closest person, my husband, and ask what they are and what happened to me to get them. He refuses to tell me. I wander off in search of someone who will, and I walk into a room with a bed. Rini from Sailor Moon (Chibi Usa if you watch the subs I guess) is on the bed, and there's a man trying to inject her with something. I stop him, and I can't remember if I killed him or just wounded him badly and scared him off. I turn back to the bd, and Rini is acting really mean and evil. She sets a doll on the bed, and walks out of the room. I turn to look at the doll, and it looks like it moved! I get closer, and the doll isn't a doll, it's a baby with red pig tails. I wonder if it's Chibi Chibi from the episodes of sailor moon that didn't get dubbed, but I don't know because I've never seen them. How I failed to become lucid during this weird dream I don't know. I clearly knew something wasn't right with the lines, and I knew that Rini and Chibi Chibi were characters from Sailor Moon. I was aware of so much wrong, and yet didn't think to reality check. At least I can pinpoint what caused the second half of this dream. My daughter <3 s Sailor Moon, and we were watching the episodes where Rini was kidnapped and turned into Wicked Lady yesterday.

Dream Three: I'm on the beach with my husband and two kids. My aunt is there too, playing with the kids. It's time to go home, so my husband and I gather up all our stuff. Our arms are full, and the kids are dragging their feet, so my aunt tells us to take our stuff to the car and not to wait up, she can handle the kids fine on her own. I'm cool with this because she wrangled me and my cousins pretty well when I was a kid! When I load up everything in the car, which turns out to be a blue SUV, I climb inside to wait in the shade. my husband starts the car and starts to leave. I fuss at him to wait, but he insists he's just moving the SUV closer so they don't have to walk as far. He ends up moving it farther away, and I'm mad because there's no way they're going to find the car here! I get out and start wandering around trying to find them, but the parking lot and beach are way different now. The parking lot is HUGE and there's a hotel between it and the beach, and the hotel is HUGE. I spend a great deal of time wandering, making this dream drag out but giving me little to write about. I see a lot of cosplayers around, and realize that this must be some sort of anime convention too. I wander to a point where they're doing construction. I can see the beach on the other side, but I can't get past the construction stuff, so I go inside the hotel beside it. I trip a few times. I try to push through crowds. At some point I wander into an indoor pool area. A creepy redneck guy in a red plaid shirt is looking at me funny and I'm alone. I turn around and leave that room as fast as I can. I get a text message from an ex-boyfriend from like 7 years ago, and he's telling me there's an anime convention in his hotel at the beach. I tell him I already know about the con, I'm there now. Finally I make it out of the hotel and see my kids on the beach with my aunt. There's a guy dressed as a clown there too, and he's got my daughter in his lap making silly face at her. My aunt is glad I'm there, she says the kids were terrified when they couldn't find us! I explain to her what happened, and that I have no idea where my husband and the car are. The last couple minutes of the dream, we're wandering as a group through the hotel trying to find our way back to the car.

I was awake late last night, unable to fall asleep. When I finally did fall asleep, I slept really hard. Waking up only twice when I normally wake up at least 4 times a night. I'm definitely taking a nap today!

No doubt, my brain was in over drive making up for only having two dreams the night before, because this morning I woke up with ten. Thank goodness most of them are fragments and there's not as much typing to do!

Dream One (Fragment): I'm looking at a bead on a string. The bead is one of those plastic beads that children's necklaces are made of with the many "sides" instead of being smooth so it looks like a real sparkling jewel but it's not. The bead is a dark but iridescent purple, the string is a pale purple, almost white. There's a knot on one end of the string to keep the bead on, and it looks like you could add a ton more beads. Not sure the significance, but this was definitely not a rehash of the previous day.

Dream Two: I'm inside a bright orange asteroid, there's a hole above and below me, to my left and right, and in front of and behind me. The colors of the asteroid and the space beyond it reminds me of the first Kingdom Hearts. I look around, and see K... but he's wearing Riku's clothes! Their hair is pretty similar, now that I think about it, lol. Then I note that I am Sora. My hair can look like his sometimes when I wake up, so no surprise I dream I'm him and not, say Kairi or Aqua... or any other GIRL from the game, ha ha. We hear a noise and K/Riku looks around, as do I. Then TINY blue gumi ships, maybe the size of a fist, fly into the asteroid in a chain like formation. They loop in and out of the holes and all around, until they make a shape that reminds me of a clover. K starts to shoot randomly at them, but they're moving everytime he hits one to fill in that space, so he misses more than he hits. I put my hand on his gun and push it down as I tell him to relax, they're not attacking us yet, and there's a trick to hitting them all. He nods and hands me the gun, and says something that I can't remember now but gave me the feeling like He trusted me and He knew I could handle this one on my own. I notice the gun reminds me of my son's toy laser guns, and briefly think it should be a Keyblade, but I can't remember why I think it should be a keyblade so I just aim it up. (I need to make my brain think REALITY CHECK when that happens, lol. Odd stuff doesn't happen often in RL for me though, so I rarely get to RC over something odd, therefor can't seem to practice enough to engrave this in my brain) I aim for the Gumi ships where the chain had started entering the asteroid. I fire one shot. It knocks out a ship, and the chain shifts one space backwards to fill in that one's hole. No New ships appear. I feel like this is an obviously easy puzzle, and I've solved it and K was either not paying attention or this is just not his kind of video game. I start shooting the spot where the first ship will fall in line, and take out each ship as it moves in place to fill in the gap. Shoot, wait for fill in, shoot, wait for fill in. I notice the chain is getting shorter and shorter, and the gumi ships are too busy correcting their formation to shoot. It can't get much easier than this, lol.

Dream Three: I am swimming in the pool we had in my childhood home with my mom. It's been a while since I've gone swimming, and I find it so relaxing and peaceful. I swim to the bottom of the deep end, and lay back on the floor, careful not to get close to the white filter in the bottom. I am looking up and watching the sun filter down through the pool, and the trees and clouds above the surface seem to dance in the waves. I am completely calm and happy, and feel like I can breathe underwater. I stay that way for a long while, enjoying the view. Until my mom swims above me breaking my view. I push off the bottom and shoot tot he top of the water. I break the surface quickly. My mom is behind me, she says, "what were you doing?! You had me scared to death you were going to drown!" I started to apologize, but she interrupts me and says, "If you wanted to enjoy it under the water so much, you should have told me!" She pushes me underwater, and I'm struggling to get back to the surface. My lungs are burning, but she's holding me down and drowning me! I wake up, thankfully.

Dream Four (Fragment): I am at the river, climbing on the pier. We have a two level pier that my grandpa built years ago for us to jump and dive off from. It actually has a third level that's about 15 feet high, but it's only a tiny platform about 3 feet wide and doesn't count as it's own level to me, lol. I'm climbing the outside of it for some reason, not the ladder, but using the X braces as hand and foot holds. I remember seeing some of my cousins hanging out on the pier as I climbed, but no one said anything to me that I can remember.

Dream Five (Fragment): We're on a road on a hill, over looking the river. My husband parks our vehicle (and SUV in this dream) in the middle of the road, blocking both lanes. I tell him to move it, and he says we're at the lake. I tell him we can't park in the middle of the road! Then I look out and this doesn't look like the road where the cabin is. My husband insists that it is, and that the water is just low. Sure enough, when I go down to the river, the water has receded some ten feet, and none of the piers of the houses on the shore are even in the water anymore. This actually has happened before in RL on several occasions through out my life. I look back at shore, and confirm to myself the buildings are different, we are NOT at my family's cabin. My husband won't listen and keeps insisting we are. I decide forget him, I'm going to walk there from here! I climb back up to the road and stat walking, in what I HOPE is the right direction based on how the river is flowing.

Dream Six (Fragment): We're at the river again. This time in the right cabin. We're gathering things, maybe packing to go home?

Dream Seven: We're at my Grandpa's house. We're gathering things, and I'm thinking to myself he won't be there because he's dead... so this must have taken place after he died last year. I'm waiting for my family to show up, and I remember my dad saying that he won't go over there unless other family is there because he doesn't want anyone to accuse him of stealing something since the family fought like jackals after Grandpa died. We're just getting things that were ours in the first place, so I don't think anyone's going to get mad. Suddenly I see this table set up and these girls handing out fabric to make prom dresses. I ignore it, and it goes away just as quickly as it showed up, and I'm back at Grandpa's house. I don't think twice about the whole thing (until I woke up and thought, another good chance to reality check! Dang it!) then my aunt comes in with a tea platter and offers us tea (another wtf scenario here... that side of the family might drink sweet tea out of a solo cup, but generally they're mt dew straight from the can people... to think of them offering me tea on a silver tea platter is just crazy! We're redneck, through and through -_- )

Dream Eight: My husband is driving, and we're on a country road with fields all around us. We reach a stop sign, and my husband turns left, but ends up turning into someone's driveway and not on the road. I get out of the car and start walking because my husband can't figure out where he's going. I walk to a house and go inside, like I belong there. My uncle whom I never talk to and never really got along with is there. He's being nice though, and asks us about the new floor in the bathroom. I'm telling him the Floor looks awesome, and the neighbors friend did an amazing job! We talk about my mom for a minute too, then it's getting late and I need to go. My notes here say "back, clean" but I can't remember what that means... I think maybe I made it back to the car and cleaned something? Who knows, lol.

Dream Nine: I'm in JC Penny with my mom. We're looking at fabric to recover my couches. I pick a fabric I like, but when they go to unravel the fabric, there's less than a foot of it, just enough to cover the roll. Then I pick another fabric, and it's the same issue! I'm getting annoyed, they shouldn't have the fabric on the rolls if there's not enough to recover with! I ask the lady if they can order more, and she says no. So my mom asks her what fabrics do they have enough of. As she's asking, this man walks up and tells me he's going to recover his couch and wants to know how much fabric I'm getting so he can decide how much he needs. I tell him my couch is a sectional, one side it probably 5 feet long, the other is probably six feet long, and I like to have more than necessary, so I'm getting 14 feet of fabric. If I have any left over I'm going to make little covers for the arms of the couches so when my kids paw at the arms of the couches and get them dirty, I can just take it off and wash it! (Dream logic the messiest part of my couches are the seats, not the arms... and 14 feet of fabric to cover two couches? no freaking way, lol) The man thanks me, and the lady comes over and points out two ugly blue patterns, and says they're the only ones with 14 feet or more on the rolls. I think there is no way I'm putting those ugly patterns on my couch and I'm going somewhere else! (come to think of it, of all the weird things they do, I'm pretty sure JC Penny doesn't actually recover upholstry in the first place!) Then we go to the check out counter to find my Grandma and kids. She's buying them yo yos (the same yo yos my husband bought them last night -_-) and I'm talking about the hideous patterns in the fabric aisle. Then I notice a really pretty display of Faerie dresses. They look like evening gown and prom dresses with fake faerie wings attached. I absolutely LOVE them, but wonder when out side of Anime Conventions, would I even be able to wear them?! I tell myself nope, I can't buy them. Then we're at the register and my daughter drops her Yo Yo on the floor. It hits this fake river than runs under the counter... but it really MOVES, it's like some sort of clear plastic over blue rocks, and looks like a river but it can be stepped on... but it moves so you gotta be careful if you step on it! The yoyo hits the "river" and gets dragged under the counter. The cashier bends down and picks it up, rings it up and hands it back to us. I take the kids away from the fake river before it can happen again, and notice, there's a dark area with like twenty different TV screens in various sizes, and some couches and such around it like a little lobby... and there's all Anime and video game stuff on the screens. I leave the kids with my mom and walk over to check it out. I see one TV advertising a t shirt with Misaki from "Another" on it and think that's cool, my husband loved that show. Then I see a trailer for a new Zelda game. They're calling it "Link and Groose's Great Adventure" and I'm thinking to myself, NO FREAKING WAY! They've spent too much time on fan sites, obviously! But I'm excited anyways, because I love Zelda games... at least big console ones for the most part... toon Link is just not cool w/ me. Then I realize wait, at the point I'm in with Skyward Sword, Groose has run off to find Zelda on the surface, I don't know yet if he lives or dies... CRAP! This game means he lives, this is spoiling it for me! I need to finish that game -_- I start to leave, when something I see the game on the shelf! I'm like, Woah! The games been out already? and this is the first I've heard of it?! How?! I grab it, and start back towards the register and a girl stops me and asks me if they make a book of this game, because it looks cool but she doesn't play video games. I tell her there will probably be a manga sooner or later, there is one for most of the other Zelda Games. Then I take a picture of the game with my phone and text it to my husband, THEN I go to check out, but end up waking up first

Dream Ten: I'm at a big black fence, praying. I don't pray, lol. But I am, and then I get up and my husband stands up as well, and somehow the dream lets me know I was praying for Japan after the disaster last year. Ooo, okay, cool. But then I'm in Japan, and there's an announcement over some loudspeakers in the street or something, that America prayed for them, so they're going to pray for America. I'm like ok, I'm going to go watch, because it'll be fun. I wonder if they'll pray at a shrine? I follow some people and we walk past an SUV that my husband is sitting in. I knock on the window and tell him to come on, lets go pray for America with Japan! lol He joins me, and the people get on a bus. On the bus this Japanese lady starts talking about hospitals, and asks me if I've ever been in one. I say yeah, and tell she asks why, so I tell her it was to give birth, and how we were there for a long time with my second child (I think it was 4 or 5 days!) because she had jaundice. The bus stops, and we get off... at the same black fence as the first part of the dream! lol Everyone gets on their knees to pray, and I'm like, wow... total let down. And I wake up!

Dream ??? (Fragment): And while typing all those, I remembered this one! I was playing hide and seek with some girls dressed in My Little Pony Cosplay. We got caught by some teachers, and I pretended to be cleaning up the littered playground so I wouldn't get in trouble. They didn't connect me with the other girls because I wasn't wearing a pony costume!

Dream One (Fragment): I'm in a car, passenger seat. There's a guy driving but I never took a good look at him. He's talking about a demon he's slain, or going to slay. I'm uneasy and scared of this demon slaying, worried things will go bad. The guy talks like he's done it time and time again and will have no problem doing it again and again. He's not worried at all.

Dream Two: I'm in a bathroom looking in a mirror. There's a guy behind me, and I am pretty sure he's got long blond hair in the beginning like K. He's got his arms over my shoulders, not hugging me so much as just keeping me close. I'm not sure why I'm looking into the mirror like a zombie or something, but I feel really zoned out and spacy and can't remember much of this beginning part. There's a door to our right, the guy sighs loudly and annoyed, like he doesn't want to leave but he knows he has to. He walks through the door, and turns left. I follow him, though I'm not sure why. (I never got lucid, but most of the dream I was very aware that I felt only half able to make decisions... usually in dreams I'm so sucked in I don't realize that I'm foggy brained or anything. This one, I felt like I was only half there watching a dream, and just never connected that, Yeah, I AM watching a dream) we walk down a short hallway lines with white cork board and the kind of board you see in shops and such with the little metal pegs holding up merchandise. The hallway opens up to a rather large (for a small business) room, with shelves and aisles. The other end of the room is nothing but windows and two glass doors. I realize we're inside some sort of shop. There are probably five other guys in the room already, they're taking merchandise off of pallets and stocking the shelves with it. I want to help, but I feel like I'd be more in the way since I have no clue where anything goes. A middle aged man with short graying hair walks up behind me, and asks me how I'm doing. I tell him I am well, and ask how he is in return. He tells me he'll be doing a lot better when we get this stock on the shelves, then he barks at the guys that School shopping season is starting soon, and we need to get this stuff on the shelves faster! He mentions that this is a paper goods store (I guess that means papers, notebooks, etc?) and that "we won't make any money if we don't have anything out!" I stand in an aisle and watch a bit longer, then I notice a commotion outside. A few guys are already out there, and there's this woman who's come up to them and though I can't hear through the windows and door, I can see she's like falling all over them and pushing them and stuff. They look like they're trying to be polite, but the woman is just falling all over like she's drunk or something and its evident they're getting no work done with her around. Suddenly she just goes limp and crumples to the ground. One of the guys goes over to her to help her, and someone opens the door and I can suddenly hear what's going on. The guy is offering her some water and asking her if he can take her back to her house or family. The woman refuses the water, and starts talking about the sun but it's the middle of the night in the dream. She stands back up and smacks the poor guy who tried to help help her, telling him she's fine and then babbling on about the sun again. It's apparent to me that something is wrong with her, maybe she's on drugs or something. I turn away because I feel uncomfortable watching her, like I'm invading her privacy or embarrassing her by seeing her like that, and that in turn makes me feel embarrassed. But then I hear her yelling like she's hurt or something, so I turn back around just in time to see her stumbling backwards off the curb and hitting the ground. For a moment, I'm stunned and don't know what to do, then I think to myself we have to help her and call 911. But before I can get out the door, my mom is walking up from the parking lot and starts ordering people around. She tells one guy to get a glass of water, and another to call an ambulance, then lady is waking up and my mom is helping her stand. I turn and walk back to the back room. I'm glad someone's there to help the lady, but I don't want to be around my mom, for some reason I know that she's a bad omen even though I don't realize I'm dreaming. (Mom always turns my dreams into nightmares. It's not that we don't get along, we generally do, but she's like a leech at times. Always asking for money and expecting us to put ourselves in a hard place to help her. This translates into a negative force in my dreams) I go back to the back room, and my guy and a girl are already back there. I don't feel jealous though, I feel like she's a sister or something. They're arguing about something, but when I walk in they stop so I don't know what. My guy looks at me and smiles sadly, then tells me that he has some work left to do in the back room, and I should go rest. I nod, but I just can't muster the awareness to find words to speak. Then I notice that I'm wearing a super short night gown (chemise I think is the word?) and feel embarrassed that I was wandering around in that showing my butt to the world, lol. I go through a different door than the one I came in, and my dresser is in that room. I open a drawer and take out my Tinkerbell pajama pants. I pull them on as I walk back into the back room. My guy has the cabinets under the sink open and he's bent over looking in the sink. I don't know what he's doing, but I'm too fuzzy to care. I walk into the hall, and notice that instead of the store being there, it's a living room now, with a view of a grassy yard and tree. The girl from the back room is standing watching out the windows. Outside three boys from the store are doing various things in the yard. I think the shady spot under the tree looks like a good place to rest. I walk out and start to lay down, but no sooner do I close my head than a pair of boots steps up next to me. They're very nice looking boots, like something someone in a horse show in an English saddle might wear. I'm suddenly excited, these must be my guys boots, he's not busy after all! But when I sit up and look up, it's one of the neighbors kids. He's trying to talk to me about something, but I tell him I can't talk right now, I'm too tired and I just need to rest. I stand up and walk back inside. I lay down in the middle of the floor of this living room. I notice my boobs are practically falling out of my chemise, but I just don't care I'm sleepy. I briefly wonder if my guy's going to be mad if they spill out when I fall asleep, but then decide he'd probably enjoy the view I close my heavy eyes, and shift my feet, they feel heavy and there's a thump sound. I open my eyes again to see I have on jeans and mary jane style shoes. I click my feet once more, thinking it's funny that I have shoes on, but I can't figure out why it's funny (because I'm dreaming! Awake I get the irony, lol) Then I close my eyes again. I hear someone enter the room, and open my eyes. There's a guy there who I recognize as the guy from before, but he looks completely different. Suddenly he looks like that Ray guy who does =3 (my husband watches that, and the dude always seems to find his way into my dreams after he's watched an episode. I don't even watch it! I just hear it over my music, and I'm cursed, lol) He comes over and sits down on the floor next to me. He jokes, telling me if I was so sleepy I had to sleep on the floor he could have found a bed for me. I shrug and say the floor is fine, then my eye lids are falling and I'm drifting back into sleep. He gently lifts my shoulders to put my head in his lap. My daughter walks up to us a moment later carrying a Hidden Pictures book. She wants to do the puzzles, but I can't get my eyes open. The guy strokes my hair with one hand and tells me to rest, then pulls my daughter into his lap beside my head and tells her, "Mommy is really tired right now, can I play with you until she wakes up?" My daughter must have said yes because after some time in blackness, I hear them talking about the book and what they're looking for. Then I wake up for real, 3 hours early and with a migraine.

Dream One (Fragment): I'm shopping at what seems like a yard sale under a huge tent. The drama club is hosting it, and apparently all my friends made their own out of high school drama club when we graduated, and just didn't tell me about it. Or maybe they told me and I didn't join because I had too much other stuff to do, the dream never really specified. I want to buy from them and help them out, but at the same time I feel so uncomfortable. I haven't seen or talked to most of them in seven years. I constantly get that deer in the headlights feeling when I see someone I haven't spoken to in a while, hoping they won't be mad that I don't have time to hang out anymore. I don't remember much from this dream though as I didn't care much to take notes. I can remember talking to my friend B, who was always dating older guys and getting in trouble for doing raunchy things at school. I also remember seeing a blond guy smiling at me who I didn't remember being in Drama Club, and thinking to myself that I should talk to him, but I was already so stressed by seeing all these people from forever ago that I don't want to make myself more uncomfortable and go over there. Looking back, it could have been K and I should have done it! lol My friend A comes in, and I think she whisks me out of the tent where I'm more comfortable but I don't remember where we went or what we did after that.

Dream Two (Fragment): I'm in an old building. someone's showing me the walls of the building, tell him that hundreds of years ago the walls were covered in a beautiful mural, and that about two hundred years ago someone painted over them with white paint during the remodeling. They were showing me where the old paint is showing through in some places. Then they somehow made the old paint pop all the way through, so I could see the mural. They were saying they wanted to restore the mural to it's former glory or something. The picture kind of reminded me of the last supper, only it was a very simple version... like pre-renaissance I guess... where instead of having life like people they had egg shaped heads with gold halos around them and no shadowing/details.

Dream Three (False Awakening): I dreamed that the phone rang. I woke up in the house I currently live in, and was going to just let it keep ringing because I never wake up to answer the phone, I let the answering machine get it. When the answering machine picks up, my uncle is leaving a message that they have decided to replace my couins' wii, and they're asking how to sync the controllers. I get up and go into the kitchen, grab the phone, and tell him I'm sorry I was asleep and to just give me a second to look at my Wii because I can't remember off the top of my head how to do it. Few things are important enough to get me out of bed, but video games fall in that category It didn't occur to me at the time that my cousins would be in school at that time of morning -_- I checked the wii, and told my uncle where the sync buttons were, but it turns out, he's not having trouble syncing the wii motes, the game is asking him to push the menu button and he doesn't know where the menu button is. I explain to him that the "home menu" button is shaped like a house, and it's all good, he's got his problem solved! Before he hangs up I ask him what game they're going to be playing, because if it's Mario Kart I can wake my kids up and let them all play online together. He tells me it's a Nartuo game they got in their happy meals. I'm thinking, "No way! They're putting wii games in happy meals now?! What fast food place?" My uncle doesn't remember because he was at work when my aunt took them, so I decide to check online. I say good bye, start up my computer and start looking. I had been to Mcdonalds yesterday and they had Green Lantern and Squinkees toys, so I knew it wasn't them. I checked Burger King first b/c they had those Kinectimals toys for the Xbox the year before last. Not them. I remember that Sonic toys are usually Sonic Tater Tot themed, so I don't bother looking them up. I'm thinking I should check Taco Bell first, because they had My Sims for the computer a couple years back. Then I think I should check chicfilla because they had sports computer games a couple months ago. I write these two down so I won't forget, then start to look them up. I wake up for real before the first page can load, and I'm really confused. I really thought I had gotten up and done all this, and could not figure out how I got back in bed.

I had more dreams than this, but I just didn't feel like waking up and taking notes. I know I need to get this apathy under control because if I don't I'm going to lose my recall. Hopefully things in waking life will calm down enough to give me time to care about my dream life, lol.
