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

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

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

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

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

Up at 8:00 again :/ I think I might know why, so I'm going to try something different (or rather stop doing something different I've been doing for the last two weeks) the next week and see what happens.

Dream One: I'm at a mansion. I walk through what I'm assuming was the back door to go outside. There's a pool and I decide to take a swim, clothes and all, lol. When I get in the water, a lady starts floating down from the clouds. She's got long flowing brown hair flying behind her, she's beautiful. She's reaching forwards like she wants to take my hand and pull me out of the pool and into the sky. I reach out to take her hand, but wake up in a class room before I can. There's a man teaching the class room. He's telling me something about lucid dreaming. I think he might have told me that I need to pay better attention to things that are strange like women floating down from the sky, as if he had seen what I had dreamed. Then he tells me I have missed two chances to become lucid already. I wake up.

Dream Two: I'm in a store shopping and fall down the stairs. I end up breaking my leg, and they rush me upstairs because there is apparently a hospital above the shop, lol. I'm sitting on a gurney and there's a doctor that looks at my leg and says it's healing quickly, I'll only be there a couple days. Then he walks off and a nurse comes up to ask me if I'm comfortable and if she can get me anything. I notice that my foot looks grey and weird, and my bladder is full. I tell her I need to pee, and she says I have to ask the doctor if I can get up. Apparently my hospital room is a big room that multiple people are sharing, so I yell out to the doc, "hey Doc!" he comes back over and I ask if I can go to the bathroom, he says sure. I get up and go to the bathroom, but forget to ask about why my foot looks grey. I get back on the gurney, and sit just looking around for a few minutes. Once again I feel like I need to pee, so I get up on my own this time, walk downstairs, get in my car, drive home, use the bathroom, then drive BACK to the hospital. I'm going inside through the store below, and I see my BFF shopping. I tell her hey, and she starts talking about home work. She tells me I have a research paper due for our lucid dreaming class on Dream Views, then scolds me for always putting stuff like that off to the last minute. I told her I forgot all about it, and thank her for reminding me. I briefly wonder if I can use the broken leg as an excuse, but decide that I don't want to make excuses because excuses aren't going to get me a lucid dream. I go up stairs to the hospital again, but this time my hospital room is only a two person hospital room, and it looks a lot more like a college dorm with beds and bookshelves and carpet! Apparently my room mate is a guy, and he's already sitting on his bed typing up a paper. I set my laptop down on the floor and lay down on the floor to type next to his bed. We chat about the lucid dreaming class and ask each other about our progress and complain about the lack there of. Then I wake up. For the record, my bff isn't even on dream views, and I have no clue who the guy on the bed was. Completely random, and how am I not realizing I am dreaming during these dreams? lol I AM doing reality checks every time I get on dream views or watch a video about lucid dreaming or talk to someone about it in waking life, they're just not bleeding over into my dreams yet. I'm heading back to bed now, so we'll see if I have anything better to report later on

I slept four hours last night... four collective hours. I actually got the first hour and a half from 1:30ish to 3, and couldn't fall back asleep until after 8 -_- then was up around 10-10:30 unable to go back to sleep before my kids woke up.


Dream One (Fragment): My mom owned a shop of some sort and I was helping her stock. A guy was there, I want to say it was K. There was also a girl there, I think maybe my bff?

Dream Two (Fragment): There was something about colors, and I needed something of a certain color for a festival. Then I was in the basement, and we'd already started working on it so the wooden frames for the walls were up. I must have been under the living room where the floor is lower because someone was showing me how low the ceiling was and how no one was going to be able to stand up straight in that room, we'd all have to bend over. It being the laundry/utility room, I didn't find that a problem as it would be used once or twice a week at most.

Dream One: I'm standing in a field at night. I even had the thought in dream that this field looked like Hyrule (TLoZ:OoT) with it's dirt paths and patchy grass, and a giant full moon looming over head. I turn around and look behind me, and there's a girl walking towards me. She reminds me of one of the neighborhood kids, only thinner and older. I say hey, and ask her what she's doing in a field in the middle of the night, never bothering to question myself. She tells me she's going to "spotify" I have no clue what that is, so I ask her, and she tells me that if you go into this field at night, you'll be spotted and disappear. This sounds creepy, and i don't want to disappear, but I realize this chic is depressed. I mean she looked depressed when I first saw her, all quiet and looking at the floor and refusing to make eye contact. Now that I know she wants to disappear I KNOW she's depressed and suicidally so. I ask her where her house is, I think I'm going to be able to get her to walk me to her house, and then tell her parents so she doesn't really disappear. She tells me her house is up the hill and points, no shit, towards a hill that looks like Lon Lon Ranch, ha ha. Then she refuses to walk me there because she says she wants to stay and disappear. Before i can argue with her, I hear a noise, and look behind me, away from the ranch. There are two more girls walking towards us from across the field. They're talking to each other, so I think this was more like a prank or a dare for them than wanting to die. They're still a good hundred feet away when a dark shadow sorta of triangular shaped like a bird swooping in on it's prey, but HUGE like the size of a whale in the sky or bigger flies between us. It swoops down towards the two girls, and I hear them scream and I turn and RUN. The girl who wants to die isn't with me, but I'm not hero enough in this dream to go back and try to drag her and get killed myself. I'm running towards her house, and as I run I hear the two girls screaming, "No! We didn't really want to die! We changed our minds!" but I don't turn around because I can hear it crashing to the ground behind me swopping up the third girl, and I know if I don't hurry it'll get me too! I reach the house, and then knock on the door. I'm screaming, "Please open the door! Hurry!" and a lady opens the door. She looks confused, and asks me if I'm there for the party and if I'm a friend of her daughters. I tell her I'm just lost in the field and need to call my parents, I don't know her daughter. She tells me that's too bad, they're throwing a surprise party for her because she's been so down lately, but she hasn't come home yet. Oh... that's her daughter, I don't want to tell her that she just died and be the bearer of bad news. Then the front door opens, and it's the daughter. I'm trying to figure out how she survived, and I notice there's even blood on her clothes, but no one seems to notice. The woman smiles and says "SURPRISE! Enjoy your party hun, I need to get the phone for this girl real quick!" then she mom walks through an archway and it's just me and the girl and a dog in the living room. The dog starts barking, but I can't tell if it's barking at her or me because it's barking in both directions. Then the girl turns and starts barking and growling at me. Freaked out, I run out the front door and everything goes black. I "wake up" in a class room full of teens. I think I've zoned out for a minute, but no one seems to have noticed. There's a pretty black girl beside me, but she looks at me and her pupils in her eyes are like slits, not human eyes. It freaks me out and I jump back. The teacher yells at both of us thinking we were talking, but the girl argues with her that we weren't talking. The teacher slams a ruler down on the girls desk and tells her not to argue with her. Then the teacher turns away. The girl jumps up, with her feet in the chair, in a crouched position like she's going to attack the teacher's back, but she slowly lowers her legs and sits back down like she's changed her mind. A couple of girls behind us are giggling and whispering way too loudly, "Did you see that? She was about to attack teach! she has been so weird lately. What is her problem?" Then the bell rings and the class starts filing out of the classroom. The teacher leaves too, but a couple of students stay, a boy with sandy blond hair and a girl with like bleach blond hair. The creepy eyed girl leaves the class room practically stalking she's so pissed off. Then I stand up to leave, and the guy walks up to me and puts his hand on the front of my shoulder and stops me, "Where you going Pave?" at first I think he called me Paige, but then I am sure I heard that V and wondered what kind of a name Pave was? I shrug his hand off my shoulder and continue towards the door and tell him I'm not interested in hanging out in the classroom. The girl gets up and also calls me Pave, then tells me that whether I'm interested or not, this concerns me. I'm one of them, even if I don't want to be. The door opens an another guy, this one really tall with light brown hair, and the creepy eyes girl from before walk in. The new guy says to use the key, and the blonde girl says ok. I stop them, "Wait? What key? What are you guys doing?" The guy says he's opening communication so the harvesters can collect their harvest. I'm confused, so then the girl says, "We've got a breeding facility hidden in the wilderness where we've been breeding slaves to send into space." I say that's illegal, and she says the only thing illegal about is it that they weren't born in captivity in space. Then she says they were born in captivity on earth, so she's pretty sure she can get around it if there's an investigation. Then I remember the girl who wanted to "spottify" and I realize that something probably killed the other two girls, then took over her body and that THING was probably the investigators. I tell the other kids that there's something on this planet inhabiting a human body and it's probably the investigator, and if so this is their fault. They're not concerned, they just ignore me and more a poster that's on the wall. Behind it is a keyhole, and when they insert the key... I wake up, lol. I was actually pretty freaked out when I woke up in the dark. My husband was getting up for work at that point, and I was kind of wishing he'd sleep in so I could fall back asleep and not be alone, ha ha.

Dream Two: I get on facebook, and I find that my mom has set up a facebook event, but the event is to fix up the house I'm living in. The wording is something like, "Hey everyone! As you know, my daughter and her husband have moved in with my mom last year to help fix her house because it's falling apart. Unfortunately, it's only a two bedroom house so they have three beds set up in one room! I wanted to try to get a bunch of people together to go over there and help them fix things up!" I'm in shock that several people I don't know have already joined the event, and I'm feeling like she makes it sound like a charity case or something. I'm embarrassed, and mad, so I call her up. She says she just wanted to help, but I try to explain to her that it's not just a labor issue, it's a money issue as well. I try to explain to her that the $500 a month we're setting back goes quickly when your having to replace all the pipes, replace the floor in the bathroom because one of the old pipes busted, replace the posts on the porch because they were rusted completely through, and all the little repairs like the dishwasher, over, laundry machine, and everything else that's gone wrong since we moved in. I try to tell her we still need $3000 to replace the roof before we can even think about finishing off the basement, and it's not going to help if she gets a bunch of people over here with nothing to do, so she needs to just cancel the event. But then When I get on facebook again, a church group has joined too, and they're talking about praying for our situation. (funny, just as I typed that line, the phone rang and it was my grandma's church, haha) I'm so embarrassed at that point, that I post on the page "Thank you all for your concern, but we're fine and don't want help!" I think the dream continued beyond this, but I can't remember the way ended. I think at some point I had to go to the church and tell them no, but then they tried to rope us into Sunday school classes or something. The only reason I can remember that part is because their Sunday school materials had Manga like comics for their children's illustrations to make them more interesting. It was sunny because all the characters looked like the ones in bleach, but they had different names and they weren't soul reapers, they were "soul saviors" and they led people to god or something corny like that.

Dream Three: I'm in a parking lot, and it's raining in the evening time. So it's overcast and almost dark, but not quite. There are two men standing in the middle of the parking lot looking like they're about to have an old western show down. Upon closer inspection, one's a cop and one's just a normal guy, so I assume he's a robber or something. I walk towards the store, but I'm a couple aisle over so they don't notice me. When I get to the store, I realize that a bunch of people are just standing around outside the store watching this confrontation between the robber and the cop. One guy even send his wife inside to buy a tent so they don't get wet in the rain. I walk to the right of the store, then back to the left, listening to people I pass buy, trying to figure out what's going on. Then, suddenly I think to myself, "I remember this dream!" (in fact, I did NOT remember this dream, and I remained only semi lucid) I start telling myself what's going to happen in the dream. I tell myself that my aunt is inside buying a tent as well, then I see my aunt. I tell myself that I need to jump out into the showdown, because I know the attacker. I step up, and the cop tells me to get away... I realize he's an exboyfriend of mine who actually is a cop now. I ignore him, he was always an ass anyways. Then I tell myself, the attackers going to threaten to blow up walmart, but it's just a ploy, no one will really be hurt. So the attacker suddenly looks like Rock Lee from Naruto, only he's wearing a cape and a mask like Robin from batman. He says he's going to blow the place up, then shoots some sort of white light from his hands that hits the store and causes some dust and rubble and a 3 foot circular hole, but doesn't blow it up. Then I say outloud that he's going to try to inhabit my body, and he throws white light out of his body into mine, and then his body gets a vacant look in it's eyes, and walks away and I feel dizzy and disoriented. I fall to the ground, and I can hear a guys voice telling me to lay down and rest, that K is on his way. But as I'm laying there with my eyes closed seeing only darkness, I feel someone above me. Thinking it's just K I lay there like a good girl, but then the person over me leans down and kisses me quickly, then starts licking my mouth like a dog. I shake my head and push the person away. I look up and it's the stupid ex-boyfriend cop. I yell at him, "what are you doing?! Your not supposed to help me, K is supposed to rescue me!" then I wake up. I'm not sure if I should call that a lucid or not. On one hand, I actually said to myself it's a dream, and told myself everything that was going to happen, but on the other hand I never got that "It's a dream! I can do whatever I want! Wahoo!" feeling. It's like I only halfway knew it was a dream, enough to know I controlled what happened, but not enough to actually want to change the events. Still, my end goal in lucids is almost always, K, and I was going for that in the dream, so maybe it's a lucid? I don't know! lol

Dream Four: I'm sitting on a couch with my head laid back like I was going to sleep on it. I straighten my head back up, and my husband is talking to me from across the room. The person beside me is the neighbors kid. He's all excited, and it turns out we got some sort of video game system in the mail. I'm supposed to be opening the box and setting it up so they can play. I start taking stuff out of the box. The console has a sticker that says free 30 day trial on it. Then there's a paper that says we can keep the system after 30 days for just $99. Inside the box there is all kinds of crap though, There are two Christmas tree ornaments, a flash light, and a keychain light. There's also some green thing the size of a baseball that I have no clue what it is. I hold it up to my husband, and he says it's a planter, then proceeds to magically unfold these parts of it and it turns into a plants stand, complete with a little plant in it, and it's like ten times it's normal size. I am trying to figure out what to do with the thing, and end up breaking it, but then I ghetto rig it so it sits on three legs instead of four. My husband tells me I need to put it in the entrance way, and I walk to the front door to discover it's a little enclosed area, like a mud room, with a cute rug and all these pretty flowers. I'm impressed, and wonder where all this came from! On my way back to the living room, I see my daughter and another little girl sitting on a kid sized couch watching a little TV leaning on each other like they're drifting off to sleep. I think to myself they're so cute, like two little dolls leaning on each other to stay upright! Then I start feeling dizzy and disoriented and I fall tot he ground and everything goes black. When I open I my eyes, I'm actually waking up. Up until the last couple of weeks I've never had that disoriented feeling feeling when a dream ends, but it seems lately it's happening a lot!

Dream ??? (Fragment) : I can't remember what order this fragment fell into, and almost left it out, but it's worth remembering so it's worth writing right? lol. The whole fragment just consisted of me hearing the neighbors peacock in a really tall grassy field and trying to follow the sound to find it. But it kept moving! at one point I wondered if there was more than just one loose.

Dream One (Fragment): There's some sort of sign ups for a living video game... I think it's more like VR though than a living video game. The idea was just that you submerse yourself in the game completely because it's all around you. I was signing up, of course!

Dream Two: I'm meeting someone in an apartment, 209 (this is relevant later, lol). I have my grandma with me, apparently even in dreams I'm not stupid enough to meet someone I've met from the net alone, lol. I think I've met her online, and I'm buying something from her. She turns out to be really awesome, and she tells me she's into lucid dreaming, and we talk a bit about dream views. Then she asks me if I still have some shirt for sale, and I tell her I'm sorry I don't. Then Grandma is getting mad, so I say I have to leave. I somehow end up in this movie studio watching this clip of a cartoon character falling through the floor with some potion or something. Then I'm watching a clip of how the movie was originally going to be live action, but movie magic was difficult... and I'm the cartoon character, trying to fall through this fake floor in the studio, but it's not working. A guy is sitting on a motorcycle nearby, and the director is talking about all these stupid rules that they have to follow and making the decision to make the movie a cartoon instead of live action because cartoons are easier, all you have to do is DRAW what you want, there are no stupid movie magic rules! The guy on the motorcycle is upset because there some law about the motorcycle that says it has to be filmed covered up and edited back in later. He wants to show off his motorcycle, not cover it in plastic! Then the director tells us to leave and I walk out the door... into a room with a big square made out of tables. and sitting at these long tables are people I went to school with... all grown up. It's been years since I've seen 99% of these people, but still I am not uncomfortable like I normally would be. I sit down next to this chic, and note she's put on a LOT of weight since high school. I'm chatting with her though, even though we never were good friends or anything. Then I see this boy who I had a crush on for a while. He's still cute, but he just seems to have an attitude now that he didn't used to have so I avoid him. Then a phone rings. I think it's the girls beside me, aand everyone is getting angry about this phone ringing. The girl beside me asks me if It's mine, and I'm like, No, it has to be yours because my phone is one silent... then pull up my phone and it IS my phone. I say, "That's weird! My phones on silent, and still ringing! I don't even HAVE this ring tone! what the heck?" I try to silence it and it doesn't silence. There's a picture on the screen of a chic with hot pink hair with neon orange Highlights. It sounds ugly, but it was really gorgeous the way the colors blended so well. I answer, and she tells me she's a friend of the woman whom I met earlier, and that she's into lucid dreaming too and wants to hang out and meet me. I'm like yeah, sure that'd be great I didn't know there were so many lucid dreamers here in Hick town! then I leave the room and wake up on my back to the apartment.

Dream Three: I'm walking on some road I don't recognize. There are white dashes and numbers and arrows painted all over the road. I'm following them, and I think they're going to take me to some Martin Luther King building? I finally get there, and it's a theater! My husband is suddenly there with my son, and starts asking if they allow little kids to come see Star wars, but is told no, because the 3d could hurt their eyes. I leave my husband to argue with the people, and wander off down the road again. I end up in Union county or Union something, and think to myself I have no clue where this is!

Dream Four (Fragment): I'm in the living room. My grandma asks if my uncle is here yet, I didn't know he was coming over. I get up to check, and there's a black truck in the driveway that I guess is his.

Dream Five: My husband and I are in the old downtown of a nearby city. The buildings are easily a hundred years or more old. There's a hotel/jewelry store and apparently we'd stayed there a few nights ago and I think I forgot something there. We go inside to ask the lady if they'd found the necklace I found, and she says no. I notice a really pretty gold moon necklace with purple stones set in it. The shape is just like the necklace I'm missing, only mine is blue stones and white gold. (in waking life, the necklace is broken, not missing. One of the stones fell out, so now all the stones move and fall out without it to hold them in place. I also see a pretty purple full moon necklace. I check the price though, and at first I think it's $69, but then I move my hand that's on the sticker and it's $8,869... and I'm like HELL NO I don't have that kind of money, lol. I put it back quickly, but then these little girls come over and grab my leg and start pulling on me. They look too old to be doing that, maybe 12 or 13? and they keep talking to me like I should recognize them, but I don't so they get mad. Then my husband tells them we have to go, and I'd see them later. They reluctantly let go of me, and my husband and I walk outside. We get halfway down the block, and my husband tells me he has something for me. He pulls out the necklace I was looking out. I FREAK out, "OMG! That thing was so expensive! We don't have that much money!" and he's like, "nah, it was on sale for $60," and I'm like "maybe $6000, but that was a $9000 necklace! There's no way they'd discount it that much! Take it back now!" I'm getting out the receipt and looking at it all the while, and it's hard to read, but I manage to grasp that the total was $7000! I'm thinking we don't have that much money in the bank, how did the transaction even go through?! My husband is mad, but he takes the necklace back anyways (can't blame him for being upset, he only wanted to make me happy and instead he made me really mad) The lady refuses to refund him, and he comes back outside telling me as much. So I storm into the place and tell her she's not going to get her flipping money either way because we don't have it in the bank for them to give her, so she might as well just take the damn thing back so she can sell it to someone who can actually PAY her instead of us practically stealing it like this. She refuses still and storm out pissed off too. My husband insists that I should just keep it and be happy with it, but I yell at him that it's his stupid fault for buying it and not paying attention to the price, and I'm sick of him spending money we don't have! He gets mad, and so uncharacteristically for him, he gives me the finger and walks off! I turn around and walk the other direction, I don't want to deal with him. I just want to run away, get away and not come back. I pull my phone out of my coat pocket, and call my BFF Ambies. She doesn't answer, and it goes to her voicemail. Her voice mail says, "Hey! This is Ambies! Leave a message!" I think to myself, "that's weird... her voicemail should have her real name in it, not her nickname... what if people from work call her?" (she works in a very professional setting) Then I realize, wait, am I dreaming? I am at a little concrete dock overlooking a lake now. I sit down on it. I think, "I can't be dreaming, I can feel the concrete underneath my hands and butt and it hurts!" but then I remember, when I dream I can feel a lot of stuff, I could still be dreaming. I should do the nose plug reality check. It fails. "Am I breathing, while pinching my nose? Really?! I have to be dreaming then. " I stand up, and try to decide what to do, I want to go find K, but then I think I always waste my lucids doing that, and I wanted to try some things that I had read about instead. So I try telling my subconscious to take me to Egypt instead. I say, "Subconscious, please take me to Egypt." it doesn't work, so I decide I need to be a little more sure about it, and I command it, "Subconscious, take me to Egypt, NOW." Still no luck. I think to fly there, so I run and jump, I float for a few seconds, get a bit freaked out, "Woah I'm floating for real!" and then fall, lol. I try looking at the mountain ahead of me, and picturing it turning into a pyramid, doesn't work... then I feel like I'm falling backwards and it's like I fall backwards into my bed and wake up.

That makes the second time I've gotten lucid in a dream I fought with my husband. Believe it or not, we rarely have big fights in waking life. Other than the one we had last week that kept me from sleeping for several days, we hadn't had one in years. I save all the big arguments for my dreams, lol. But seriously, I'm going to have to start doing proper reality checks and not just asking myself, "Am I dreaming?" Because if I hadn't done that nose plug then, I'd have thought it was for real even after questioning. It wasn't as long as my first 5 lucids, but it wasn't as short as the last two I've had either, so I think that's progress As for why I didn't just go back to sleep, well my daughter was sick this morning and I was cleaning up puke between many of these dreams, and she was crying her belly hurt shortly after I woke up, so I didn't get the chance!

My recall is still really murky. I can remember the general gist of a dream, but not the events in any real detail. I can remember more than a couple dreams today, so that's an improvement. I'm really not sure why my recall has gone from remembering 4-7 dreams a night very well to barely remembering just a couple fragments if any at all. The only difference has been my kids getting sick, and now they're on the ups. :/ Hopefully with another week of good sleep it'll come back to me. If anyone has any suggestions I'm happy to hear them

Dream One: I'm in what I can only describe as an apocalyptic marketplace. It's underground, in like a HUGE open cave with supports and columns holding it up. The walls are concrete, but chipped and old looking. People have small wooden stalls and rugs laid out that they are trying to sell merchandise on. I recall seeing a minivan that someone was trying to sell off (I think as a home or shelter b/c it didn't run or anything) My mom has a stall in this dream, she's trying to sell her artwork, but no one has the money for pleasures, they barely have enough money for food! So no one's buying any of her stuff and she's taking it as, "No one likes my stuff!" We try to reassure her, but she's just depressed and not listening. I give up and walk away and wake up.

Dream Two (Fragment): All I can remember is a group of men in chainmaille armor carrying swords. They were looking at me, and coming my wa, but I didn't feel threatened, just in awe.

Dream Three: We are going to the park, my husband and my two kids and I. Only, we're walking there, through the big city that's actually two hours away! We see a hotel, and I mention that Ichibancon (an anime convention) is in that hotel, and my husband says that it's going on right now, so we should swing in and check it out. We walk in, but the halls are empty save for some fliers and papers scattered about. Then as we're leaving we walk through a room with a bunch of people sitting around a table in Cosplay. I realize they're asking people who attended the con how they could improve and to make suggestions. My daughter stops and grabs a pencil and some paper and starts drawing a really cute character. I'm impressed because she's 2 but just drew something that looks a lot like Kon from Bleach. Then I realize she's writing on a paper that has someone's name, Jeanette, on it. I Quickly rush her out before this Jeanette can realize my kid drew all over her paper. I wake up.

Dream Four: I'm in a bathroom stall, and I've just finished using it. I realize I'm in a dress, and I hear voices outside the stall. My husband is talking to a man at the sink in the women's bathroom?! The man is acting like a father type figure, fussing over my husbands clothes and how they look nice, but why do his dress clothes have holes in them? I tell the man I tried to get my husband to dig his dress clothes out days ago, and he refused to do it. Then, When he finally got them out of the closet to check them out this morning, he discovered that moths had eaten them! It was too late by them to buy new clothes, so he was stuck with holey clothes. I run the boys out of the bathroom, and wash my hands. There's a girl who walks in, and for some reason I ask her if her boobs jiggle when she wiggles. I leave the bathroom, and we get on a bus. The bus ride is short, and the man is talking about my mom. I get the impression that he is my mom's boyfriend or something. I tell my husband about talking to the woman in the bathroom and how I asked her if she jiggles when she wiggles, and he laughs and says, "yeah!" like he's impressed. When the bus stops, we go into a big room with lots of desks. There's a lady at the front of the room, she's calling out names and handing us stuff we supposedly ordered. She hands me a big pack of like 50 pencils, all with Easter and spring designs on them. I really like one pattern that's green with white daisys. I wake up right after thinking that.

Dream ??? (fragment)- I'm on some sort of old medieval boat dock or something made of stone. There are wooden crates stacked up, and I'm with someone else, I think a male, but I can't be sure as I just remembered this little bit when I was typing the rest of my dreams. I think someone was trying to catch us. I can remember standing on top of the crates, hoping to see the group to know if we'd lost them.

Just an upfront warning, the last dream is definitely of an adult nature, and shouldn't be read by kids, so turn back now while you can! The first three dreams though are really tame.

Dream One: I'm walking, I think to the mailbox because I'm expecting something to arrive in the mail. I see a Blue tray of some kind on the ground, and the neighbors kid is using the hose to rinse it off. He asks if the mail has run yet, he's waiting for a new part for his terrarium. I take it that the tray he's washing is part of this terrarium. I Check the mail and my item is in it, but I don't open the box so I don't know what's inside. The neighbors kid is whooping and hollering because his parts are in and he can finally put his terrarium together. I'm cranky and annoyed, but rather than telling him to stop carrying on I just go back inside hoping the door will block the noise. I wake up.

Dream Two (fragment) I woke up remembering that I was dreaming of big city buildings. The buildings were brown though, like old dirty concrete.

Dream Three: I'm back at the mail box. There's a pretty silver package inside, tied with a ribbon like a Christmas gift. This time, I open the box. It's got a Target gift card inside it. I wake up.

Dream Four: ***This one isn't overly graphic, but it has some adult novelty and items in it, so if your offended by that kind of thing or under 18, do us both a favor and stop reading, lol.*** I'm in a store, it looks like a mall store. My husband is with me, But he looks like he did when we got married. He's 50 pounds lighter, his hair is spiked and gelled, and he's clean shaven and dressed how I can only describe as a "preppy skater". There's a girl I keep seeing out of the corner of my eye watching us. She's pissing me off because I feel like she's got the hots for my husband. I'm looking at the shelves, and realize this is a sex and novelty shop. I grab some raspberry lip gloss and my husband says something about tasting my lips with it on. We start kissing and making out between aisle while we grab various things like lube, enhancers, condoms, and a battery operated boy friend. I'm looking forwards to checking out and getting to the car, I'm not even thinking about going home, just using all these fun things as soon as I'm in a semi private place. When I get in line at the register though, my husband wanders off and I see the girl following him she's got an arm load of the same stuff I've got as if she grabbed exactly the same things right after we did. I'm not worried about it though, I know my husbands not going to give her the time of day, and if he does, well there's always B.O.B I wonder why the lines not moving, and lean to look around the person in front of me. I notice the cashier is having trouble ringing up some lingerie, then I realize the cashier is my mother-in-law! I panic for a moment, checking out with all of this is going to be REALLY awkward with my husbands mother. Then I think to myself she is the one who has the book 101 ways to have sex in the kitchen on her book shelf, so she's probably going to be pretty cool about it all. We're married with kids, so there's no secret that we're having sex, and I really want this stuff. So my libido wins, and I stay in line. Thankfully I woke up before having to check out (or maybe unfortunately since I never got to try anything out, lol)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dream One: I can't remember this dream well at all. My notes remind me I was a prisoner of some kind, and there was a god of some kind in the dream. Male anatomy was also mentioned in the dream, but I don't remember how/why, lol.

Dream Two: I was in the Anime Bleach, talking to Ichigo and Rangiku and someone else. Couldn't remember what about though.

Dream Three: In the car, heading to a church or something. My son unbuckles himself and his sister and I stop the car fussing at them. My husband climbs into the back to buckle them back into their car seats, and my son moves up front and buckles himself up in daddy's seat and giggles knowing he's being a snot. Then a cop pulls up to us and writes me a ticket and tows my car, then send someone to take the kids because I was endangering them... even though I was TRYING to get them back in their car seats the moment they got out.

Dream Four: I'm trying on pants, and I like them but they have no tags. I ask an associate and she tells me that the jeans have no tags because they are "cut off jeans" and apparently "Cut off" in dream context means they cut the tags off because someone else had already worn them.

Only had one dream because I didn't sleep long. I was on a mountain looking out over the land, and there were three castles nestled along a cover. The one on the right was white stone with high pointy towers, like a Disney castle. The one on the left was very similar, only it was dark stone and seemed to be more of an evil castle. Then there was the third castle, which was of center and closer to the dark castle. It was short and stumpy, in neutral colors and reminded me more of a city than a castle. In the dream I knew the Disney like castle was mine, and the neutral tone castle was trying to steal lands from the dark castle. I decided to send help to the dark castle because if the neutral castle took their lands over, no one would be there to help me stop them from taking my lands as well. Then the view shifts to a sky view, and it's like a video game. I'm clicking and dragging engineers to the dark kingdom to help them build weapons and armories. My husbands alarm goes off, waking me up. I try for three hours to fall back asleep before giving up. Maybe I can get a nap later.

Dream One: I woke up around 3 am, and listened to music for about an hour then went back to sleep hoping that I'd be able to stay aware as I fell asleep. The result, I saw black, with no images and started hearing music. I listened closely and recognized the music as the songs I was listening to before I went back to sleep, but the words weren't right, it was like they were gibberish to the tune of the songs. The closest thing I can equate it to is a Simlish, if you've ever played the Sims you know what I'm talking about, lol. Frustrated I opened my eyes thinking this wasn't right, I should see images and hear the songs correctly! When I opened my eyes, I was in the passenger seat of my car with my husband driving. I briefly wondered why I was in the car, but my brain told me I was driving to a big city about 2 hours away, and even though the town we were driving through was in the opposite direction, I accepted it and failed to realize I was in the dream I was trying to achieve. I close my eyes in the dream and tried again, this time getting a different song still no image, and opening my eyes frustrated. I did this a few times before the frustration actually woke me up for real

Dream Two (Fragment): I don't remember the context, but I remember slapping my mom in a dream, then storming off. I remember thinking in my dream that I probably went way over board (I have never slapped my momma!) and was maybe being childish, but my dream self was sure that I was on the good side of the argument, and that mom wanted to do something bad to someone.

The night before last I didn't recall my dreams at all. Last night I can only recall a couple of fragments.

Fragment One: Playing Skylanders with my son, and found an area he had not unlocked yet. Got to show him all the secret areas in the level, like hidden passages behind bookshelves and stuff. It was awesome, but then I woke up thinking how off secret bookshelf doors were for a game like that, lol. Probably why I remember it so well.

Fragment Two: I woke up with the line Mischief managed stuck in my head. I don't recall the dream, but wondered if I had been dreaming of Harry Potter stuff, lol.

Fragment Three: I was returning from a field trip of some sort for a college class. In the dream my husband was part of it (he's never even been to college, so that was really odd, lol) as were a bunch of my friends from college that I haven't spoken to in years. I entered the college building through the library, and noticed I had an ass load of books and my daughter and son that I was trying to carry. I find a rolly chair, and I sit in it, putting the books in my lap and sitting my daughter on top of the books. My son holds my other hand and pulls us through the library. I briefly find myself searching the crowd for a man with long dark hair, but don't see him so I relax a bit disappointed. In the class room my son lets go of my hand and runs to his father, and my daughter jumps out of my lap to do the same. When she jumps, the books fall and I stumble around trying to pick them up without getting out of the rolly chair. When they're picked up I roll over to a table with my husband, and old friend from college, and two red haired twin boys I don't recognize as someone from RL but knew in the dream. I drop the books in the table, then stand up and tell my husband that I've got to take the chair back to the library where I got it from. He says he'll watch the kids, so I take the chair back and notice the long haired man isn't there still. I set the chair down at a computer and go back to the class room. IN the classroom I make the comment that the twins look like Weasleys and I need to take a picture with my phone and send it to my best friend A, because she'd love it! I think I might have tried to joke around and call them Fred and George but then I woke up.
