Near puking
I'm with a group of people. I recall seeing my classmate Chris and one of my best friends. We're sitting on a vehicle which consists of wooden benches lined up behind one another. I'm on the frontrow, though I feel like the vehicle is moving backwards, making it the backrow. About 4 people can fit on a bench. It's sort of like a freaky bicycle, but I don't remember how the vehicle was propelled or who did the driving. We're taking some sharp 180° turns. At the first turn the people on the bench I'm on all slide to one side and get squished together. I feel an urge to puke, as if the combination of this sudden movement with the amount of alcohol I've had is too much. Just before the next turn my friend makes a comment. I don't recall what he said, but it's something to do with him thinking it's funny that we're gonna get squished again. We don't slide on the next turn however, because we expect it and brace ourselves.

We stop near a train station. A digital clock says it's 12 past something. I stand talking to my friend for a moment and I also check the train schedule on my phone. There's a special train leaving to our city. It has a weird symbol in the schedule and there was a story to it that I can't remember. It's leaving at 15 past something. Well we're too late for that one. We end deciding to take another train, which will take much longer, about an hour and a half. I feel like it could've been way faster, but this way we have to make a big detour, even though we're really close to our city.

Fragments
» Another friend of mine. We live together? There's something with him wanting to cook and also something about orange juice I believe. It's all very vague.

» I know I dreamt about my mom, but I can't recall any of it.

Boat vacation
I'm talking to my in-laws about our next vacation. We're talking about a cruise, or something else large-boat-related, but someone suggests we could rent a smaller boat and have it all to ourselves and just stay in the water near an island.

Now we're in an interior room in a smallish boat along with a bunch of other people. The room is lit mainly by strands of haphazardly strung Christmas tree lights. We can't dock yet because the sun isn't up yet and this island only allows docking during the day (except it's actually quite bright outside ...). I can see out a door, or something, that the dock is crowded with people - waiting for our group to disembark? - but someone asks why there are a couple of people with RPGs (I never actually see them) and the captain says it's to make sure we don't try to dock early. As we're waiting, Sam does something with a big bowl and some essential oils.

On the dock, I see a car that's been painted psychedelic colors. It's parked facing right, passenger side towards the water. The driver's side windows have been replaced with something solid, and they're painted the same way the car is. I'm confused about how anyone could ever drive it.

Mountaintop domes
Somehow, I see a mountain on a tropical island. The whole island is covered in thick trees. There's a large glass structure at the top and another identical one hanging off the side. Somehow I know that one is the original and the other somehow mirrors it, but I don't know which is which (though I assume the one on the side is the mirror).

Now I'm in one of the structures. It's a very large geodesic dome made out of metal struts and glass panes. At the center is a model of the mountain with the structures on it. I'm not actually sure which structure we're in - the one on top or the one on the side - but I go over to look at the model. It's so precise and so real-time that I can see us moving around in the model dome on the side of the model mountain. Looking out the window, I see trees stretching away forever under a beautiful light blue sky.

I'm prepping for some kind of exam, the girls with me are passing around makeup as if it's a essential part of the whole thing.

I was in school. I was entering a classroom, then I took a chair and sat down. I opened my bag and took a notebook. Suddenly I saw a rhombus appearing out of it. It was colourful at the borders and black in the middle. It was a portal to another realm. Pink, red and white were dominating there. First I had to jump on the right tiles to get to another side, then I had to avoid crushers, and next it was a corridor with electric tiles. I finally got near the exit - it was a room with three strange girls, wearing sci-fi like clothes. I had to dance to the rhythm to unlock the door. I did it right, and entered a control room. I had to choose right button to escape, otherwise I'll die a horrible death. I randomly chosen one, and a card appeared at the screen - it showed a jester.

Suddenly I found myself in a bus, I had my bag with me. I was driving through a city, it was a cold autumn afternoon. I went out of the bus with a classmate - a muscular blond dude. I realised that I left my bag at the bus, and I told him about it. I decided to run after the bus, and quickly reached the bus station. I've spotted that bus, and saw that it's walls transformed into tilt. I made a huge leap, and jumped inside it. The driver - a bald man with dark complexion, wearing white shirt and jeans trousers - was horrified by this. I just took my bag and went out. I decided to skip the way, and used a teleport to the strange realm.

Another journey through that realm, and I found myself inside a sunken ship. The room had ankle-depth water. There was my family inside. I decided to use the teleport again.

Dream Fragment: Nightmare about how I was in this church thing which had no roof and no windows. In a previous dream I was there and there were children there who were acting as different wizards and warriors or something. But in this nightmare, I could see myself and I was evil.

Another dream I'm in this house and my friend Moo is about to get married to his ex-girlfriend Katie. We're upstairs preparing for the wedding by getting dressed and talking about things. In my mind I keep thinking that this is a terrible idea to get married because IRL they are broken up. There's also some little kid upstairs with us running around. My mom tells me that there's a whole bunch of people down there and we need to come down soon to get the wedding started. I keep looking at my watch and 15 minutes keeps going by quickly. The wedding was supposed to start at 3:30 but now it's 3:45. I realize I'm not even wearing the right clothing, but a belt around my waist. I start to change upstairs in my room. Someone says that half the people have left because they were so impatient. We go downstairs to a room with 3 couches and a balcony along the upper part of the walls with no people there. There is a woman with short hair facing the opposite direction that is supposedly the person wedding my friends and 3 people sitting on the couch facing us. I walk right to see a huge open house. In another open room to the right is Katie surrounded by a group of girls trying to calm her down. My mom is really upset at this point, but I just keep saying its not a big deal at all. I say something out loud about how its everything is fine and suddenly I'm hit in the head by a ball of some sort that my mom threw at my face. She starts to storm off as I'm chasing her trying to tell her to let me explain. She gets in an elevator around the corner and the doors close.

Dream Fragment: I'm telling my mom about studying abroad this past summer with this girl that I knew, but I can't think of the name of the place. Then, I remember it is China, but my view goes to this very open and tropical place with mountains surrounding besides the sea making it a bay thing, but my view is only really of a green field.

Dream Fragment: I'm in California. I believe I'm in some sort of airport where I get hold of this motorcycle thing, instead there's no handle bars, just this peg thing on it like a saddle for a horse thing I push down to go forwards. I'm zooming through small hallways that are connecting rooms in the airport. I bring it to this lobby where I get off it and stand on this statue thing trying to get in contact with my dad because I have no money or no one in California with me. A small kid gets on the motorcycle which now looks like it's on display while a dad watches him. I walk up and say that it is my bike. A woman dressed as a flight attendant comes up and she verifies that I've actually bought it when I tell her that uncertainly. Then, I hop on it and go out of the open room into the city which has gray skyscrapers and moving cars. My dad is there suddenly and he tells me we're going to some professional game with his friends and that I can come.

Another dream, The view goes over to this sort of disconnected island piece that's raised up above the land and sea. Inside there is a family of two kids and I was possibly the parent or something, there was also some other kid with me. The two kids go fall off of the cliff into the water so the other kid and I go rock by rock down until we get into the water. We start to look for the kids in the water. I remember thinking that I had already had this dream before but I didn't go looking for the kids. But I knew this was a nightmare of some sort. We see one kid come out of the water, and she walks up onto a rock with us. Then I see the other kid swimming, but he's grabbed by something very suddenly in the water that pulls him down. We start to run up the rock path when one of the kids says that there's a mud monster coming. I turn around and there's an arm sticking out of the water holding a brick. It starts to gradually emerge from the water and walk towards us. It looks like a mud monster from scooby doo. We start to run all the way up the rock path to higher level ground. We get to higher ground so I turn around and now the mud monster is half mud monster, half pennywise the clown from IT. He starts screaming and running at the kids. Now, I'm not even involved in the dream. I watch as the monster is now all Pennywise the clown with a sledgehammer. I thought I was now in a movie where they couldn't get the original actor, so they used a step in who was just as scary. He starts crushing at the structure that the kids are on. It looked kinda like an aqueduct.

*I am at the dharma center waiting for Lama Dorjee to give a teaching. I look around and notice alot of young person I have not seen before. To my surprise some of these people I went to high school with and would of never thought of them to practice buddhism. Then out of no where yolanda decides to reveal to everyone she can speak perfect tibetan. This somehow awakens devotion with everyone.

Woke up after like three epic dreams and FORGOT I HAD BEEN DREAMING and went to get a drink. I lost all of my dreams and the only thing I remember was part of the third dream where I was in some massive punch up.

Me and Joe Hus were walking along a path in the woods in mid summer. It was nice and relaxing, we descended some stairs and kept walking along a path that took us over a bridge. I forget what happened in between for the most part but the sun was shining in its decent in the west, when we decided it was time to come back I couldn't remember the way to the stairs and it was snow covered, we paused for a second and admired the sunsets effect on the snow covered landscape. Luckily Joe knew the area well and pointed it out a second later and we started climbing up them. when we got to the top and looked down we saw some people crossing a bridge together there was some older couple and then a younger couple and I thought the girlfriend was very cute. I then saw some kids run from the other side (it had two sides running parallel with the river) and then I woke up.

+ nuclear attack convertible and food, trying to close the roof in time
There is a nuclear attack coming, I tell all my friends to take cover and to get out of the way. I'm preparing to jump into my convertible [false]. First I quickly throw in a bunch of cellophane wrapped foods/snacks in order to survive after the bomb hits. Then I get in to the driver's seat, and I'm desperately trying to quickly activate the automatically closing roof. I'm pulling on various buttons on the left door console.

Afterwards, I have an impression of wandering through ruins in a group, and encountering a large dump truck on a lower level getting filled by workers (?)

+ fast bus, throwing me high in the air from my seat on bumps, crash on railroad tracks, slap the (8-year-old boy) driver
I'm riding in a medium-sized bus. Not many other passengers, just a few. The bus is going really fast. It hits a big bump (like a rail road crossing) and this tosses me high up in the air (I feel very light) and I fall back down to my seat. This happens again shortly. Then the bus crashes on a railroad crossing on the tracks (on its side?). I'm hurrying to get off the bus with my backpack, which gets stuck in the door for a second as I'm trying to push my way out. The driver is an (8 year old?) boy standing a few feet away, with a neutral expression on his face. I walk up to him, screaming [in a foreign language], "You almost killed everybody!". He shows no reaction. I get furious and slap his left cheek hard with my right hand. He starts to show a reaction and "slaps" (very weakly, just a pat) my left cheek. I then slap hard his right cheek with my left hand.

+ Looking in a mirror trying to incorporate a gaudy long teal-and-black scarf on to my snazzy black suit in a way that looks good. It's really hard because this scarf is such a contrast to my nice black suit. I'm trying different ways of wrapping the scarf around and placing it underneath the jacket. I'm noticing the color and patterns on the scarf. I'm preparing to enter the next room. I think actually the accent of color from the scarf is very complimentary. Some friends come in and want to see me, I pull my jacket closed across my body, hiding the scarf, and say no free previews. I see my instrument on a stand as I walk by.

+ sneaking at night past enemy base, I move through an opening (in a fence) and jump arms/headfirst down a stone wall to a lower level and flying. I bank to the right and on that lower road I see friend who is on other team. I enter room, and see F. J.O. (SHoA OC) is lying on the ground on his back, dying from old age, my parents enter room and fall down on top of him, crying.

Dream Fragment: Something to do with being in a basement in a small room. Everyone is doing push-ups in a line and yelling at the same time which workout they're going to do at the gym. Then, whoever said something similar pairs up and works out together. One of my pledge brothers and I pair up and walk out of the small room that goes out into the bigger space of the basement.

I dreamed my boyfriend and I took his friend's 12 year old son to a theme park. I needed to get somewhere in the park (maybe the bathroom?) and the only way I could find was a very thin ledge along the edge of a cliff, with a sheer drop of hundreds of feet. The ledge was only maybe a foot wide at some points, sometimes with no hand-holds, sometimes with a very rickety railing, and a whole bunch of people were also trying to inch along it at the same time. I was shocked by how dangerous it was.

Anyway, once I reached my destination, I realized that there was another path there that was a nice, wide dirt path through kind of a swamp area.

I'm in a house that is a mix between my actual one and the one before. I'm trying to keep a new reporter, Fredrika Lounds to get inside. She first try to force the front door, then get increasingly unhinged as she try every windows of the house and I keep slaming them into her face and telling her no. I'm more and more afraid, and I jolt awake, forgetting the much nicer dream I had before.

Dream 1 - Lord of the Rings
I'm with a group of about 7 warriors on a grass plain with a hill that rises up behind us and a couple other hills in front that are lower down. We had been fighting Uruk Hai and had won so far. I then looked at a member in our group scanning the hill behind us with binoculars. I look up too sensing that he had seen something. I saw a single outline atop the hill with a sword in hand. I instantly knew we were about to be attacked again, as slowly more figures began to line the edge of the hill. There must be a hundred or so Uruk Hai about to attack! I run back a little panicked, they started charging down the slope to engage in combat. I turn to the face the other direction, only to see more Uruk Hai pouring over the hills in that direction. We're surrounded. The dream has a game-like feeling as I approach a horse, I try and mount it but I can't! I open up a skill screen and look at my riding skill, it's level 0! Damn, I need at least level 1 to mount a horse. I think to myself how you have to be selective in choosing your stats in Mount & Blade as investing a small amount in some skills early will help.

Dream fragment - pope
I remember something about a pope in a very grand looking white stone courtyard.

Note: I read Oreo's DJ last night (The Great Sphinx) and was really blown away. Such a cool dream. It affected my next dream a little ^_^

Dream 2 - I screwed up a lucid
I remember the house I was in was wooden with a white ceiling.. I somehow just remembered that I was dreaming and was like 'oh I should RC too'. I pulled the skin on my hand and it stretched out too far, bingo! I then kind of ran around happily thinking about what to do. The dream felt so stable and clear, I knew this dream would just last for ages and I felt like I could prolong it. I shouted 'Stabilize!' and the dream shook a little, losing clarity (oops) and then coming back into focus. I wasn't too bothered as I felt like the dream reaction was a positive one. I then wanted to travel to the desert and see the Sphinx like Oreo had done, so I decided to teleport. Hmm... How to do this? I ran outside, there was a small stream flowing and light green grass, it was night time. I willed myself to be transported to the desert, leaped into the air and fell backwards so that I would land on my back, then as I fell I closed my eyes and willed my body to be teleported. *Thud*. I collide on the ground, but it's warm and gritty. Sand?? I think to myself that it worked I try to open my eyes, but I can't. Oh ****... No, not again . I try and force my eyes open, and end up accidentally open my eyes in real life. My vision is all screwed up though and I see a skeletal-like head sitting next to my bed. Ugh what the hell? I can tell that I'm awake and having hallucinations, I try and reach up for it, but my real arm doesn't move and instead there's a pseudo arm that I feel reach out. I close my eyes again and I don't remember anything past that.

I completely forgot that lucid dream until during my meditation I managed to rebuild it really slowly and in poor detail. I honestly feel like that would have been my longest lucid ever had I not screwed up that teleportation

I'm with a couple of friends, not sure who (maybe Mark M and Mark B). I have a big pickup I'm driving in with them. I'm behind the wheel. In one fragment I'm trying to leave a parking lot but the exit is very narrow. It is almost like a cement hallway I need to drive down, but I'm convinced I am going to scratch up the sides of the truck. But I manage to get out without any scratch marks.

In another scene we're in the backyard of my parent's house. The truck is parked there. My glock is in the truck, locked in it's gun box in the back of the truck. The ground is covered with lizards. And there are a bunch of trees, but they are covered with insects, and are eaten away by termites. I'm worried that I need to get to a class I need to teach on time. I need to be there by 10:30am, and it is getting close. There's a gate I need to drive through. Somehow I need to simultaneously hold the gate open and drive the truck through. It is like a spring-closing gate. As I get into the truck, one of my other friends (MM?) is trying to get in, and we hear a big cracking noise. A huge vertical branch breaks off one of the trees and crashes down. It's like the size of half the tree. It becomes clear that there are termites or something eating away at the trees. I get them both in the truck and another tree breaks and cracks. We've got to drive out, and I'm trying to drive the truck out and hold the gate open at the same time.

Then we have to make a detour back to my house, and I'm trying to get my stuff together and get ready so I can get to where I need to be by 10:30.

[end]

Interestingly, there are a couple of things in that sequence that are reflections of what happened before I went to bed.

1. I had seen the movie Spectre and there was a scene with a lizard on the window, and at some point I remembered that scene before I went to bed. I think that might have been related to the lizards all over the ground.

2. At one point when I was going to sleep I was thinking about trees and tree back. Not sure why -- it was like spontaneous hypnogogic imagery before I went to sleep. But it ended up playing a role in the dream, since the bark of the trees was very prominent since it was clearly being eaten away by insects.

3. Also, I actually did have to be somewhere at 10:30 that morning, and was thinking of that before I went back to sleep, and that go incorporated into the dream.

Dream Plots:

#1 I was in a field with people and couldn't tell if was possessed, high, or a genius. I had been Carlos Castanenda's "Teachings of Don Juan" and he described a scene where he met a dog on Peyote. The dog went transparent and turned into an almost silvery blob that looked like a moving blob of clear water. In this field the person I was next to turned into exactly that except he retained his person figure. He spoke to me in sort of a slow motion gibberish and I wasn't sure if they were making fun of me or proud of me. Eventually I rolled my way into the middle of the field, it was night, and a single pointed like shone down from the sky. It penetrated the lower part of my back where they say the Kundilini energy resides. All I can remember is waking up in real life with that area extremely tingly.

This portion of the dream was end result of #2

#2

A dog was lying down in a dirt patch protecting his wife who had just laid a puppy. The Dog's hind legs were sprawled out in front of him while his hind legs were spring loaded and ready to attack anyone that tried to mess with the puppy. My mom was there and the Dog trusted my mom and therefore let her help the puppy. At that time there were no potential intruders that were likely to overtake the dog. As soon as I thought that a massive Gorilla came and sat down right next to me, unsure of his own motives. At this point I realized the gorilla had an almost sharp coat of hair and unbelievably dry skin. It was unspoken but the Gorilla could have easily won over the Dog and we all knew it. Feeling bad for the Gorilla I brought him inside to show him a bottle of Vaseline in which he could heal his dry skin. This happened in my old house and the Gorilla became unbelievably grateful and eventually lathered all the Vaseline over his body, which transformed him into a young and radiant young boy.

We then went to the boy's room where he had friends waiting for him. These friends were playing a game of airplane and trains. I was amazed at the simplicity in which these boys were playing. They had a train down below and one of the boys was "flying" an airplane in his hands. What was amazing was that the boy was able to calculate that if he flew his airplane higher in the air, the train would seem as if it would move slower below. He was talking the theory of relativity and it made we wonder if he was a genius or not. Then all the sudden a race-car came of the television and I noticed another boy had a Halloween costume on of one of the Race-car drivers that was on TV. The TV driver started talking to us through his cockpit and it was all very exciting. Soon the driver shifted and I became absorbed into the race. At this point it was no longer a Nascar Race but more of a Underground type of Road Race. I went into a dark Tunnel and this is where I started meeting the characters that were introduced in dream scene #1. The only way to describe the first Character was Legolas. I found him in what I'd call a mine shaft and he was mourning the loss of his Boyfriend. Now at that time he also had a female friend who was possessively in love with his rare surge of energy. It appeared that Legolas had little time for the women and was more concerned with pursuits of energy. That is when I cut to the field.

Notes:

#1 There is no question now that doing these two things helps my recall a lot

- As soon as I wake up I ask the question; Am I dreaming?

- As soon as I wake up after I reality check, I grab my notebook and write. I must be hard on myself to make sure I get steadily into the habit of writing down, at that time, every little detail I can possibly come up with. I must be stern on myself to keep an impeccable dream journal.
