Dream Title: The package
Dream:

I am running between tents in an extremely busy campsite. In my hand is a package, that is quite small. Quickly, I run in and out of the tents that are there as I spot my brother nearby. 2 people are chasing him because they think he has the package. He is running from my right across to my left and as we meet in the middle, the people see that I have the package and I know they are after me now. Sneakily, I throw it up in the air and my brother catches is and carries on running. We manage to trick them and they continue to follow me.

I keep running and I eventually come to the youth centre. Running around the back, I blend in with people there. I make my way to the back door and step inside. Luckily, some of them know what’s happening and open a door to my left which leads to a bright white basement that is awkward to get to because you have to use a badly placed ladder. I feel really excited like when you play hide and seek and you’re trying not to be seen. The people tell me when it’s safe to come out, so I step outside. They are now chasing my brother again.

I sprint back to my house and my brother is there, running in circles so that they can’t catch him. Continuing past him, I head towards the house opposite us’ back garden. Without looking at my brother, I automatically catch the package that he threw and I have a good head start on them. When I get to the back garden a thought pops into my head that it’s not normal to be able to run this fast for so long, but I dismiss it and continue. The garden looks a lot like my grandma’s but to the left is a small supermarket.

Suddenly, the woman is in front of me, so I move to the left and do a wall run move, but on a tree and I get past. Halfway through the wall run, I throw the package to Adam, who is a bit ahead of me. We both carry on running to the back entrance of the shop and go inside. Slowing down to a walk, we quietly make our way through. He is on the aisle to the right of me. Banging footsteps sound near him, and the package comes flying over the top into my hands. My vision stops on the woman stood about 15 metres ahead. I sense the man behind me as well, and start to run at the woman. Trying to catch me, she jogs as well. About a metre before get to her, I drop to the floor and slide under the shelves of food stuff. As the momentum of my slide begins to stop, I rise to my feet and dive out of the window. It happens in slow motion and I can see the shards of glass as the fall.

While I’m still diving out of the window, I throw the package to my brother who is running back up the garden from my left to my right. Behind me I hear the man say something like,

“F****** hell!”

They run after him again and shortly after, a package comes through the air from somewhere. I hide it under my t-shirt, and walk back to the broken window of the shop and lay down on the floor. My thoughts at this moment are that I can act as if I’m a random person that was hurt when the window broke. Soon after, the woman comes back and asks if I am okay. I nod and say I’m not too bad, but she gives me a suspicious look as if she knows me. Suddenly we hear a vibrating noise. I look around (Like when someone whistles when they try to act natural) but we both know the package is vibrating.

As she is about to grab it I pull it out and throw it back outside and I know someone has got it. The woman then grabs her hair in frustration and does a mumbled scream thing. She then says,

“You annoying b*tch”

And walks out of the window.

Personally, I thought it was hilarious.

Dream Title: Rescuing Vinnie
Dream:
I am searching all around my house for something or someone. My whole vision seems to be tainted somehow, like the shadows of everything are more emphasized. I know my parents have hidden the thing I am looking for, and often while I am looking for it, I see them stood extremely still at the side of the room, or in random places. Most of the time they seem to be either staring at the floor or straight at me. Another thing that is really weird is that the house feels a lot bigger, so it’s harder to find what I am looking for. It’s annoying that I have to look in every space that there is a spare cm because it seems to be taking a while.

I am walking down a corridor, and I know the half open door at the end leads to a swimming pool. Suddenly, I see them coming out of a door to the left just before it. A man has his arm around the person I’m looking for’s throat. I can’t tell if it is a man or a woman. Quickly, the man bursts through the door behind him, and I sprint to catch up. When I enter the swimming pool room, I look left, and see he is heading for the exit diagonally across to the left of where I am. Suddenly, an announcement is made.

“Attention all customers, rusty screws are now available on the floor.”

I see this as my chance and dive forward into the water. At the other side or 2 small people, dressed like something that reminds me of a Japanese clown. My dive has taken me half way across the pool (Width) already, and with a couple of strokes, I get to the side. With a jump, I grab the closest clown person and drag them into the water. With a few hits they’re dead. My eyes zoom in on a rusty screw on the floor, and I notice that the other clown person is looking at the screw as well. We turn to stare at each other. Then back at the screw. Then each other. In this moment of awkwardness, I dive for the screw, and at the same time I grab its head (I’m not sure how this is possible because they were a couple of meters away…). As hard as I can, I stab the clown person in the eye, but it is really difficult to push it. I then realize this is because the person is dead. I sit there for a couple of seconds, before remembering that I had to find that person.

I am back in my house again, and I am in the garage getting my dad a beer. I hand it to him, and then I look out of the window and see him sat in the garden glaring at me. This is creepy but I am distracted by another announcement.

“Attention all, bottle smashing is now permitted.”

A brown glass bottle filled with beer appears in my hand, and at the opposite side of the kitchen near the fridge, a woman also appears. Instantly, I know she is part of the group that have kidnapped my person, so I throw the bottle at her. She laughs at my failed attempt to hit her as my bottle flies off to the side. This happens again, but on the third try, I hit her, and she gets knocked out. She then disappears though.

I find that I am now on the rooftop of a building, and it is raining. With me are a couple of people. I realize that they are part of my LDing family, and we must stick together to pull through. They seem glad that I have realized this, and then send me back to my old bedroom. My Russian friend is sat there looking miserable.

“We’ll never find Vinnie.” He says, looking sad (AH HA! This is who I was looking for. IWL I don’t even know anyone called Vinnie…)

As he says this I instantly know where Vinnie is. I start humming the Pirates of the Caribbean theme tune as I make my way down the stairs. In my head, I picture Vinnie tied up in a janitors closet. As I get to the door, my parents appear, and I know that I can’t make it. However, I know that my friends will find him now. My parents begin to explain why they didn’t buy me the games (WTF?!), and I have a break down and start crying about how they took £50 pounds. My Mum tells me will give me it back, and I start to be happy again knowing I have money.

She goes on to explain how they were using the money to adopt Grace, but everything is okay now because she is already here. We decide to settle everything with a game of Mario kart, but as I play it I notice something odd. This isn’t Mario kart. The whole area we are playing in is like GTA, but it has Yoshi in a mushroom car.

Then I wake up. The end bit was so random. I was kinda disappointed when I didn’t get that £50 though.

Dream Title: Massive zombie horde
Dream:
Its day time and I am walking along some grass. To my left, which for some reason is the way I am facing, is a red brick wall. As I pass an Army truck someone - I’m not sure who – appears next to me. They hold up part of a corpse as we continue to walk, and it is quite bloody. I stop and turn around, pulling a weird face.

“What the hell is that?”

“We can take it and use it as food, because no-one seems to like deer, and it’ll help instead of cereal.”

“Oh, good point.”

There is a time skip, and now it is completely dark, like we are in the middle of a field somewhere. Groups of people are stood in the backs on large trucks, and behind us I can see lights shining on the floor around the building that looks like a pretty strong compound. I have no idea why everyone isn’t inside it, it looks quite safe. The trucks are also parked inside a mesh fence, and the drivers have really strong torches. It is extremely cold, and I can see the water vapour coming out of people’s mouths when they breathe.

Anyway, we all hear a noise, and turn around. As far as we can see (Which isn't that far because it's REALLY dark…), there are bodies. Hundreds of thousands of them are lit up but the moon that magically appears behind them, and the strong torches pick out the details of the closer ones. Their purple skin seems to almost glow in the light. So they begin to push as hard as against the fence. Obviously, the hundreds of thousands of bodies managed to easily get through the mesh fence. Realizing that a massacre was about to take place, I quickly vaulted over the side of the truck and hit the floor. My vision zoomed in on an electric fence at the other side of the compound, but there was a hole in it. I started running towards it, and as I got closer, the hole got bigger. There were also every few zombies around this side. As I got to the fence, I jumped, curled myself into a ball and jumped through the hole. I hit the floor and rolled, coming to my feet with a rod of metal in my hand. I must’ve got it from the hole, but I hit a zombie with it and it does some serious damage.

Looking back, I notice a small building just back inside. It would only be a few metres width and length. Deciding to check it out, I step back inside and go into the building. When I get inside, there is a faint purple glow, and the surfaces of every area in it are like a white metal. Through a hole in the wall, I see a girl from my school, holding out her hand. I know I have to help her, but at that moment, my head teacher walks in. He looks like of zombie-ish and he walks really slowly, but somehow the girl and the hole manage to disappear. He doesn’t spot me either.
The dream ends here because I was woken by my parents.

Awake: 6.45am
Vividness: (scale of 1-15, 10 is waking life vividness) 12/15 it was mega vivid. The light shining over the horde in the middle of the night, and generally the graphics of the whole dream were amazing
Awareness: (1-10; or lucid) 2/10
Length: (how long it felt like) 10 minutes
Emotions: I didn’t feel much in this dream, apart from being really cold, and having a kind of adrenaline rush when I jumped through the hole in the electric fence.

Monday 18th – The Babysitting Project
Last night I had a dream that I have written down as being called the Babysitting Project. It was mostly in 3rd person (I rarely have 3rd person), and the main character was Paul Walker (An actor, but in my dream his name is J). This may have been due to the fact that I watched Joy Ride last night and he was in it.

J is sat in the house with my dog. He has bought a mattress, which is about 2ft deep and 1 metre long and wide. My dog decides to sit on this, and give him a goofy look. He hears a knock at the door and opens it to find a woman stood there. She explains that she saw his ad in the newspaper, and wants to hire his to do some babysitting. When she leaves, he begins to panic because he wants nothing to do with the baby.

J then goes outside, and somehow the house had turned from being a mansion sized log cabin, to a council house in a rundown area. In the car is his friend Jack, who is shouting at him to get ready for the party. J decides to leave the kid in the house, and he leaves for the party. His friend Jack lives right across the street, but he gets in the car and they both drive a couple of metres before getting out again.

After a while of being at the party, J decides to go back and check on the baby. He walks into the living room, which looks like my granddad’s house, and looks at the baby. The baby is laying upside down on its head which is being crushed against the floor, and its back is resting against the sofa. He just stares at J. At this point, J decides that he can’t leave the kid alone, so he picks him up and carries him outside.

Now the baby is gone, but J is hiding behind a tree and the babies mum is walking down the street. The area is now changed to a nice area in a village. The weird thing is, J is tried to change T-shirts behind the tree because he is trying to be 2 different people. As soon as the shirt is changed, he pops out from behind the tree and says hi to the woman. They go back inside and she says he did an excellent job at babysitting.
 
Monday 18th – The House Search
I am looking around different houses with my mum and dad.

The first house, I am stood in the garden, but it is a shared garden that looks more like a mini field. The grass is a really light colour, which makes me think it hasn’t rained for a while. In front of me is an area with wooden decking, and a fence. On the other side of the fence is a drop that I can’t see from where I am standing, but it then goes into a hill. About a mile away in the forward-left direction is also a forest. We walk over to the wooden area, and I am suddenly sat in a sun bed. To my right are a couple of people sun bathing and in a Jacuzzi. I also think they are drinking champagne.

The second house it actually built in the ground, and it’s more of a high-rise apartment building than a house. It is also in a very run down area. The top of the building only goes up to a height of the other council house that surround it, but it goes many floors underground. I’m not sure if you could call it underground because in front of it for about 50 metres is also a gap. Just below the surface on the top left is a swimming pool, but it looks more like a pond. The water looks dark greeny brown, yet it isn’t dirty. The walls of the gap are also natural stone that are wet. Above the surface I can see the laundry hanging out on a line at the back of someone’s house. To my right in the gap, but a bit further down is also a natural Jacuzzi. Both of the pools are built into the wall by the way. Finally at the top of the gap straight in front is a path, and there are people walking along it. This leads into the forest.

I tell my parents that I love the 2 places, and they agree.
 
Monday 18th – Hockey Sign-up
It is the end of school, and all of the boys I know are getting ready to play a hockey match. They are all walking down the corridors in their gear, but somehow everyone starts talking about how they need another player because someone dropped out at the last minute. They then proceed to go outside and I follow them. We mess around and it feels like the party that we had and the last day of school last year in summer.

I hear about people being able to sign up for the hockey team on the school field, so I decide to go along thinking that there might not be anyone there. As it turns out, the field is full of people. Someone announces that you have to be signed up by 4pm, or you don’t get a chance to be on the team. I walk over to Katie and Ashley, who are pulling stupid faces at each other, but I can’t seem to get their attention so I just leave them
 
Monday 18th – Pigeon Woman
I am walking home down my street (The way past Will’s house), and a woman comes out of the house opposite the one that used to be abandoned. She looks exactly like the pigeon woman from the movie Home Alone, and she seems like she could be trusted. She calls me over to her, so I go to see what she wants.

She then asks me if everything is okay at home, to which I reply it is, and I have no idea why she would think anything was. She gives me a look that says she doesn’t believe me. She then gives me a bowl of cookie crisp cereal, with no milk, and tells me that she will always be here for me if I want to talk to her. I say thanks, and start to walk away. I stop for a second, and turn around and tell her how much of a nice person she is. She just nods and closes the door.

I carry on walking home, but once I get there, I realize why she had asked me. The place is completely destroyed, and it is crawling with gangstas. They are completely evil, but for some reason I have to stick with them. I know that I have stick with them, and I think I am the leader’s girlfriend or something. All I can remember is having the feeling that I’d rather die than be with them.

4 dreams tonight! No chase or nightmarish dreams either. The last dream was a bit depressing though. That feeling was horrible :/

Wednesday 13th – Escaping Prison and Hitler


Non-Lucid

A guy comes into give a speech, while about 100 kids are on an assault course. It’s really muddy, and I have no idea why we are doing it. I decide not to listen, and before I know it, we are all being sent to a place which is like a death camp.

My feet and hands are cuffed together, and a big line of people are stood with me in a dim corridor. The walls don’t even feel like walls, more like damp mud. It’s similar to a mineshaft or something like that. So the guy at the front on the line is reading out instructions, and because I haven’t been listening, I ask someone behind me what’s happening, but they don’t know either. However, they do pass me a pen, so I can write down the instructions and I begin to write it on my hand. The only part I can remember writing is ‘The memory fades away…’, which is confusing because these are supposed to be instructions.

We are then marched outside, and I finally see what’s happening. It’s a spelling contest, and failure is death. I start to laugh because of how strange it is. A guy is called up, and has to spell the word ‘disabled’, but instead he says “kjystiunf”, and gets his head cut off. By now, I am in hysterical laughter, and the man in charge starts to give a speech. A sheet is also handed out with the words on. He gives me an evil glare, and I wake up.

I am trying to remember what was written on the sheet as I lay in bed. It’s one of those things when you know what you’re thinking of but you can’t quite see it. I realize that words are written in Spanish, because I recognise some of them, but they don’t make sense by themselves because I don’t know half of the speech.

I want to go back into the dream to figure out what was happening, so I start to think of the dream again, and I eventually fall back asleep.

I am back in the dream but towards the back of the crowd as another speech is carried out, but I arrive just as everyone is leaving. I decide I might as well leave too then, and I go home. I am sat in my old room, and I realize that I have magnetic hands, which I can turn on and off. I go over to coins, cutlery, and all different kinds of metal object to test my new found power. I can even control it so that it becomes more like telekinesis rather than a magnet. Going over to the door, I see a diary and leaflets everywhere, which are about this kind of thing. I realize that this was what the speech was about, and if you could do it, then you were evil. I go onto Google and look up ways to get better at it, as well as hiding it.

I find a website that talks about a ‘silver ritual’, which is where you take a metal stone, and bond it to you, and allows you to have more control. My mum walks in on me, and shouts, telling me that I’m evil, and that I should be sent away. I have to pack up my things, and then leave. I get a bag and start putting things in, like slippers and pencils and colouring books.
An alarm goes off, which is supposed to show evil people, and my mum shouts for me to come downstairs. As I walk out, I then appear in a prison. My mum turned me in.

The prison is a huge one, with about 12 floors, which all have balconies on, overlooking the ground floor which is the canteen. At night, all of the floor’s balconies move out to cover the gap, and become a place where you get strapped to the beds so you can’t escape. As this happens, I spot Hitler a few metres away, and he glares at me. I notice he doesn’t have a moustache, which is strange. But what he does then if even weirder.

He pulls out a pen knife, which he shouldn’t have in the prison anyway, and cuts part of his head off, down to the bone. He then takes the bit of skin, and sticks it to his lip where it them becomes a moustache. He still has a gap at the back of his head. I watch Hitler as he walks over to some of the kids who are supposed to be extremely intelligent and gets strapped to the bed next to them (Hitler is a prisoner).

The floor them slides back to become balconies, and the beds are moved into the cells. I watch Hitler in the opposite cell, and he is talking to the kids about escaping, because they know how it’s done. The straps on the bed are actually artificial spider webs, and they move in the night to make different patterns across the bed. He takes advantage of that, and manages to escape, but I don’t see anything of him after he leaves the cell. I just assume he got away without being seen.

It’s the morning again, and I am downstairs in the canteen, talking to my prisoner friends at a table. I tell them that the prison owner is my mum (My math teacher is the prison owner, but also my mum in this), but they don’t believe me, because they say that she wouldn’t have me in here if she did. I tell them that she hates be but can’t bring herself to kill me. They still don’t believe a word I’m saying, so I decide to show them. My chair is on an aisle, and she begins to walk past, so I shout at her.

“Hey, bitch!” I shout as I stand up. The whole room goes quite, and she stops mid step. Slowly, she turns around, giving me an evil glare. All of the other prisoners are watching us wishing they could stand up to her.
“Are you talking to me?” She asks.

I smirk, stand on the table, and say “Fuck yeah I am.” All of a sudden, all of the prisoners start cheering for me, and I have the urge to make a speech. “We may be stuck in prison, but this is OUR prison!” I shout, like I’m in some corny movie.

The prisoners get up and bang on the tables, and everyone rushes the prison owner. I take my chance and manage to escape, and somehow Sam is with me. We make it outside, and it’s like we are coming out of a bunker, into the middle of an enemy army camp. To my left, I see Hitler pointing to maps and making plans, but suddenly he turns around to glare at me. I swear, and drag my brother over to an army truck. I climb in but as soon as I do, all of the cars around us turn into those small smart cars.

We drive off, but there is another car of escaped prisoners too. We had a radio, and we can hear Hitler’s men talking through it. They tell him about the 2 cars, but he tells them just to follow me. I slam down on the pedals and swerve around trees. The car behind us has a sniper in it, and they begin to shoot.

I drive us around the back of a building that feels like a university, and we both jump from the car and roll along the ground. The sniper from the car runs past, and tries to speak to us. He says that he wants to help Sam and I, but I am wary of him. I tell him I’ll take his rifle just in case. He agrees, and explains something about being undercover. He also points toward the university, and tells us that there is a party going on down there that should keep us hidden. I thank him and give him the gun back, and we sprint to this place.

We are inside a huge frosted glass dome where the part is held, and it feels like a big shopping centre, but a wedding is happening here too. I spot an exit, and head for it, but a blonde woman steps in front on me. Apparently, I can’t leave, because the ceremony is about to start. I know she is suspicious, so I make up an excuse extremely fast.

“Family emergency.” I say, trying to push past.

“It can’t be that bad.” She says. I need to persuade her, so I come up with the story that my aunt fell down the stairs and is in a coma. She reluctantly lets us go.

My brother and I make it to a safe house, but it is completely dark inside. After being there for a couple of minute, we hear someone coming in. We decide to hide, but the woman tricks us into being found by pretending to leave. She catches us, but luckily she is old and can’t remember who we are, 5 minutes after catching us, and just asks why we are in her house.


Stuff about this dream:

• Writing or remembering stuff you've read is so difficult in a dream. Even more so if it is in a foreign language. Plus the speech had some musical notes on it and I wanted to find out what they would sound like.
• I have no idea why I took coloring books with me.
• Hitler is really creepy.
• Standing up to the prison owner was boss.
• My persuasion skills are epic.

Sunday 10th – Wingsuits and GTA

Non-Lucid

I’m at school, and I hear of the challenge, which no-one knows about, apart from 3 teachers, Mr Sands, Mr King, and Mr Bejing (A Chinese technology nerd guy). I go over to Mr Sands, and ask if I can take part in this challenge. He tells me that it probably wouldn’t be worthwhile if I did it, but eventually agrees. After school, he opens a secret door and lets me go inside. It looks exactly like a science class room but it’s quite dark. I see a couple of people from my class in there, and shout hi, but they just roll their eyes and carry on working. Mr Sands goes into the back and comes back with an A5 booklet. He leads be outside, and I am back outside school outside my biology classroom, opposite the window. He quickly explains that it is an all-day math challenge, and you have to see how many you can work out in a day. The way he says it makes me know that there is a lot more to it than he says, and the booklet is just a cover.

I’m suddenly in a building, and the walls are grey. I know that I am infiltrating it so that I can rescue someone. Suddenly, a group of fully armoured (Bullet proof vests, pockets with ammo, grenades etc) guys run in with guns. It goes like the new Resident evil film (The one where they are in the underground dome), where Alice is fighting all the zombies in the corridor. I begin the fight them all off, and when I’m done, there are a load of bodies on the floor. There is also a light brown rope, which I pick up. At the end of the corridor, a blonde woman appears, and she is the boss. She shouts at me, telling me I’ll never escape alive. I manage to get past her, and free Sam.

We make it to the roof of the tall building, and we emerge from an air vent. The bit we come out on is near to top, but the top is kind of curved. The part we are at, it has cut out sections, so we are hiding there. I had plans for someone to come pick us up, but Cameron peeks his head around the corner, and says,

“Hey guys, I got a satellite set up, and we can go soon.” He smiles.

I do a major face palm, and shout at him that using the satellite would attract the bad guys. At that exact moment, an aircraft appears that looks like the one from The Dark Knight Returns, but it is a lot bigger. It grabs Sam again, and starts to circle the building, and I decide that I have to get him back. As it comes in front of me, I dive through the wall of the aircraft, and roll to my feet. I go into awesome combat mode again, and fight off a load of guys. I am flipping over them, jumping, kicking and being epic. I finish off the last guy by strangling him with the rope, and his body drops to the floor. The woman appears again, but I jump for Sam, and throw both of us out.

We get wing suits, and start gliding. I look at a map, and point to the top left part of the map, because there are a lot of trees there. Sam, Adam, Joe and I are then together, gliding over the city. We land in the trees, and group together. We know that the four of us are the best team we could have, so we feel confident. I say that staying in the jungle will help us keep cover, but someone else mentions it would be better to go to the city.

Because we are at the top of the map half of the edges of where we are, is the ocean. At this point, I hear the roar of speed boat engines, and the whooping of crazy people. The guys are dressed in red, waving AK47’s in the air and they are very similar to the pirates from Far Cry 3. They see us, and start to shout. We let out a strong of curse words, and run back through the jungle.

The four of us, start to use parkour to get through the jungle, vaulting over fallen trees, running up them and flipping over, sliding under branches. To my right, I spot a vehicle that is half boat, half car. It’s basically a truck that has sides that go out like a boat. It’s in a small beach though so we wouldn’t have any cover. I shout at the rest to get in to back, as I COD dive into the front seat and somehow land sitting in a normal position.

I swing the car around, and drive back towards the jungle, but the guy leader (Who was a woman, and it now a man), shouts something at me, which is to do with capturing us. I can’t remember what it is now, but I reply, “That’s what your mum said!”, and drive off. We arrive in a city and we are driving down a wide road. Behind us, I see about 200 cop cars, and 200 pirate people all chasing us. We all decide that this is just like playing GTA with 6 cop stars. In the car, ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ is playing. We drive around, swerving though corners in an attempt to get rid of them. Realizing it isn’t working, we ditch the boat truck and get onto 4 motorbikes, and start driving through malls.

I say to myself that this looks more like Hong Kong, and that if this is Sleeping Dogs, then I should go to a safe house. I open up my map, but a pop-up appears asking if I want to trade in dinosaur skeletons for money. I agree because I think it’s a good idea. I then teleport to a safe house and the people chasing me disappear.

I had 2 dreams last night, but I only remember bits and pieces. I'm not sure whether waking up after each dream is a good idea, because I seem to either go straight back to sleep without properly registering I am awake, or I end up staying awake for the rest of the night. Anyway, dream recall time:

I am sat in a dark room on one of those computer chairs that spin around. I have a huge bottle of fizzy orange juice. The bottle itself is about 1m long. My mum walks in, and asks me why I bought a bottle of OJ for £88. At this point I realize that wherever I am is a room at the side of an airport terminal, and I bought the drink from one of the shops. I'm texting some random guy, when I walk back into this dark room. (I don't where I left to go or anything), and I see the bottle cap on a desk on the corner. Walking over to it, I realize that there is an imprint on the cap. The cap looks like a plastic shot glass, and the imprint is sort of like chalk? Or some black charcoal dust.

Looking down, I see that I have received a text from the same guy. It is a picture message of the bottle cap and my ID card leaning against it. The ID card shows that in the dream, I am a scientist, and I look different, have a different name etc. I decide that this guy must have stolen my ID Card because of:

*In-dream Flashback*
I am sat at the table in a kitchen with a skinny man stood in front of me. He asks me a question that I don't understand, then places the black/charcoal thing in front of me, however it looks like a pale version of the resin you use with a violin. We have a conversation which I didn't actually hear. I think it was like mind speak, and we knew what the other was saying. He then picks up my ID card and puts it in his back pocket. I ask for it back, and he acts like he didn't realize he had done it.
*End of Flashback*

I realize that by putting it in his pocket, he imprinted the ID card onto the charcoal. When I come back from the flashback, I am hidden in my wardrobe, looking out into a room that is once again, very dark. In front of me sit a brother and a sister, who are also scientists, but also hackers. I don't know how I know this. They both look very mice like mice, and they are talking about something they are working on. Something they say causes me to realize that this plan is about doing something to me.

They then go onto have an argument about the fact that they can't fail like their dad did. This is when I realize why I know they are hackers because they turn around to look at the computer. Attached to it are hundred of wires and hard drives etc, and they are doing something like a search on me.

Then I wake up. My second dream was a lot shorter:

I am stood in the garden of a new house I have just moved into. Because it's winter, there are no leaves on the trees, and the garden is covered with branches and it looks really scruffy. I walk over to my mum and my grandma, who are making plans for the garden. My grandma is on her knees looking at some paving stones. Paths got through and around the garden, and my grandma insists that there is too much grass, and that we need more stone paths. Sure enough, I look up and there is a patch of bright green, freshly cut grass. My mum tells my grandma that we will not have any more paths, because she really likes grass.

And I woke up again.

No dreams last night.

Fragment:
I was in some kind of public swimming pool? Or something similar. It wasn't clear and this is the only thing I can think it would be.
