This is short lucid dream I had a few weeks ago, and I’m trying to catch up. My 2015 goal is to journal every single lucid dream I have this year at Dreamviews. Fyi, I hand journal all my dreams because this helps immensely with improving my dream recall.

In this dream I was standing outside at 70’s style, business building. It was a cloudy afternoon. There was water behind the glass doors, at least 6 feet high, and water was spraying out around the cracks. I became lucid, because there’s no way this could happen. Suddenly, one of the doors flew open, and my Psychic Medium was washed out by the flood! She stumbled to her feet, soaking wet and dishevelled, and I said, “Hi!” She looked at me and said, “Hi!” The door closed shut, and the water was once again 6 feet high. I thought, it would be neat to go in there and swim around, because you can breathe underwater when you’re lucid. So I asked the Psychic Medium, “Can I go in there!” And she said, “No, don’t go in there!” and then I woke up. I should have stabilized!

I traveled to Egypt with my father. In real life I've never been to Egypt before. The dream started in a tour bus that was driving through the Sahara desert. We were inside the bus. There were many tourists inside the bus. The bus was an old one, and it was quite cramped. All the seating spaces, and nearly almost all the standing spaces were taken. Even worse, each of the tourists had a huge backpack with him/her, and it took up almost as much space as the person, even though the bus was filled with way too many people for safety regulation, I think. Someone even transported a goat, a chicken, and a pig inside the bus! No space for moving anywhere. And in the back corner of the bus I see this ladder. It was made of I think, hollow metal tubes or pipes. It was just like this one, except all old and rusty, to match the aged interior of the bus.

The ladder was built in the bus, anchored to the floor, and went up one of the walls. Seeing it, I shove my way past the tourists, with great difficulty, but I finally get to it, and start climbing up it. I climbed up through a hole in the roof, and I see the bus has another deck on the roof. This second deck on the roof, was entirely open to the elements, but fortunately, the weather was nice. There were no seats on the roof. The second deck was surrounded by a metal railing on it's perimeter, to keep people from falling off the bus. I was surprised that there were no tourists who had climbed to the top of this deck like I did. The only people here were 3 old men with long gray/white beards. They were seating on the colorful rugs positioned directly on the roof floor. They were seating in the lotus position, meditating and praying to Allah. From here the dream shifted to the next scene.

I, my father, and the tourists, are all standing in a semicircle around an underground entrance to the tomb. Our tour guide is standing in the entrance and explaining to us the history of this tomb, who built it, when, and why. I pay no attention to what he says, but rather to my surroundings and the people who are with me. I notice that the bus has left, and mention that it would have taken half an hour to unload everyone, so cramped it was.

The tour guide goes inside the tomb and mentions us to come along, and we follow. He warns us against damaging any artifacts, stepping on any trap doors... We went down a series of low, flat, broad steps, careful not to hit head against the ceiling. Inside the tomb is much more expansive and extends underground in a maze of different brightly painted rooms, with murals and hieroglyphs.


I remember the walls being brightly painted as such. The tourists quickly spread out to explore all the different passageways in the tombs. One room would always lead to another and another. Exploring this place felt just like a video game. Indeed, there was a small screen display in the corner of my vision that showed me a localized floor plan of the complex. The rooms were dimly lit with no apparent light source, as if coming from the walls themselves. I do not remember much of the details about this underground tomb room complex, I only remember exploring it and it was very fun. Exploring this place, it became apparent to me that it spread outwards in two dimensions, no 3 I thought, when there were some steps going up or down. Occasionally I saw other tourists too. Then I came into a room bigger then the rest, and there was a steps going up, kinda like in this picture.


I went up the steps, and emerged in the upper part of this temple complex that was built above the ground.


This part was no less extensive than the underground tomb part I was just in. I spent a considerable amount of time exploring it. There a more aged and weathered look. And I look up around, and I see the Giza pyramids to my left side, and then Karnak Anubis Temple to my right side, and the place I was in was between the two. I though that was weird, since both these historical sites are actually hundreds of miles from each other, but I didn't become lucid. I went to the front entrance to this complex, and there was a gift shop there. They sold cookies. I didn't have any money. An Egyptian man volunteered to buy me a cookie, but when I said that I spent all my money to buy souvenirs, he said that I was foolish to do so, and left. I took photos of pharaoh statues. After that I found my father and we went by foot to the Sphynx, but our path to it was blocked by a kind of Islamic market. We entered it. There were spices and pretty colorful rugs for sale.


There were dogs, pigs, and chickens for sale, sat in the wooden wire cages. There were fishes for sale in huge baskets of salt. There were papyrus reed boats for sale. We walked around but did not buy anything.

NON LUCID
*I am at this extremely busy very crowded kind of a hole in wall dinner with my dad. I am getting the vibe from the servers we are not wanted there. All of a sudden I am on this roof top thinking the only way down is to jump.

*I notice jeff is at the dharma center along with his mom. We talk about how I am dating his ex girlfriend and wow strange this was.

There's a teenage girl who's come to me to learn her futures. I've spread them out like cards on the table, and as I hold my hand over one depicting a man she could be married to, she says she wouldn't mind that one so much, that wouldn't be so bad. I have the impression that she doesn't feel she has a choice in any of this - she might want to know what the options are, and she might have her own preferences, but someone else will be making the decision, not her.

With that in mind, I move to one of the futures on the outside edge, the more unlikely options. It's labeled Dreamer. I see her lying on a couch with an arm thrown over her head, looking at the ceiling, wasting away. Her clothes are glowing green like an absinthe advertisement. Since I think of her as wasting away here, I conclude that this is a future she wouldn't want and start to move my hand away, but that vision version of her stops me. She sings, "I listened to my dreams." This is important to her. It's not something she regrets. "They taught me how to feel." Behind her there's a glass window opening onto a balcony, from which I can see a river and the stars. There's a whale swimming through the clouds, adding to the fantastical nature of her possible future.

Fly and running down the city during a nap (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

2nd WILD (+5 pts)
Full Dream (+1 pts)
L-DEILD (Chain) (+2 pts)
Stabilize (+1 pts)
Advance Flying (+10 pts)
Eat something (+4 pts)
Invincibility (+7 pts)
Phase through objects (+8 pts)
Interact with a DC (+2 pts)

Took a big while to perform my WILD, struggled for this one.

Suddenly, my meditation reclining chair started to shake and I realized I was in a different room, knowing the WILD worked. The dream had a terrible quality and as soon as I tried to save it, I felt myself innevitable waking up, so I focused on L-DEILD to recover it.

A few moments of darkness, I found myself next to a small city, with a few houses down the road and with huge gardens. I had crystal clear quality but I still wanted to make the dream stable, so this time I grabbed a branch and rubbed it within my hands. From there, I took off to fly. It was very warm and very sunny (while in waking has been cold, windy and rainy) so I decided to fly at super high speed through the clouds and feel the breeze.

After flying for a while, I wanted to try super speed and run very fast, but for some reason I was afraid I would hurt my self or something, so I started looking for a star to give me invencibility:







After a attempting on a few garbages around, I did find one and I ate it. It tasted like a marshmallow and I felt stronger, so I decided to run at very fast speed and tried to walk through the buildings. I was able to run through one building, but the entire building, was thick brick instead of being hollow on the inside (rooms, furniture, etc) The other buildings, I think broke as I hit the wall.

I suddenly saw a cop saying that I was making a big mess and I had to go with me. I said to him that he could mind his own business and took of flying again.

I wanted to do more stuff, but I either do not recal (I doubt it) or I just woke up, because I felt there was a lapse of nothingness followed by awakening.

I had signed up to do archery lessons somewhere. In order to pay for the lesson I had to help the person who owned the archery range judge the value of another peice of property they owned. It had to be worth at least $40k.

On it was this huge building. In it was this hemispherical room. The walls were covered with bookshelves curving up to the ceiling. (How the books didn't slide off of the upper shelves is beyond me.) There was also this huge bronze/golden contraption that showed the alignments of the planets in some alien solar system.

There were escalators in the building. I think one of them got broken, however.

I was in the master bedroom my grandmother's house taking pictures. I became self-aware. I went outside in the backyard and floated up to try to transform into a dolphin but couldn't. I looked around for ways to get points and decided to phase through the wall back into the house which I did. I went back outside and saw the pool. I got the idea maybe if I could find a way to use the pool to teleport to the ocean. I jumped into the pool, but without the proper mindset so I couldn't teleport. It was very realistic underwater, though. I got back out of the pool and jumped up, imagining I would drop into a hole in the ground. I dropped into an underwater void. I arrived at a giant toilet paper factory. I decided this didn't interest me and looked for a way out. I found some strawberry cereal that was openly stored in containers on the walls and tasted some. It had a realistic flavor but nothing special. I found an exit and flew out. The exit led to an office building which I recognized from an earlier dream I had tonight. I thought this was neat. I found a DC and told him about how awesome dreams are and he agreed. I looked around, looking for something to do. I noted that this dream was longer than usual for me and started thing about how much REM I had left. I couldn't find anything to do though and woke up.

Morning of February 6, 2015. Friday.



I am swimming underwater in the ocean, in an area between Antarctica and Australia. However, the map I view at a few different later occasions in-dream is incorrect. Relative to Antarctica, it has Australia in the same general location as where the bottom of South America would be in reality (rather than the other side). This incorrect concept and related vivid imagery does not trigger any thoughts of error at all. The map’s location is not defined; it is more like a dream within a dream that I mentally visit for some reason, though looking somewhat like a computer monitor. I am looking for millions of dollars in old coins at the bottom of the ocean. It actually seems like I am only about twelve or so feet underwater at the most. Most of the ocean bottom is white sand and light-colored rock.

There are pirates rather loosely involved in the plot, but there is no conflict and the group only appears a bit later. However, there is one male who is tied to a weight or underwater object in a way where his head is just able to remain above the water. This seems like some sort of punishment (I am not sure if they are intending to come back for him). I try to help him while I maneuver in a small boat but am unable to.

It is quite enjoyable exploring the underwater realm. I am still able to breathe somehow, without any gear. I find everything from fairly modern pennies to Spanish Doubloons, which I hold in my hands at times, some of the coin types being in clusters on their own in certain areas. I am “collecting” the coins and occasionally other items, which also apparently end up in an undefined additional realm, like some sort of abstract “pocket” location somewhere. (I do not see them again after I “collect” them - I am apparently teleporting them to a safe location where I live.)

At one point, another male swims with me. I think he is the captain of a ship but I am not sure of his identity or whether or not he is actually a pirate. He may actually be connected to the British Navy. At any rate, he seems to have only mild interest in the treasures on the ocean bottom though I do have a vague sense that others may be exploring the area and taking coins and such in a day or so. I want to find as many as possible before others arrive.

There is one smaller cluster of about five silver coins that are actually fake Spanish Doubloons. Several real Lincoln pennies are also closely scattered in the same area with various levels of brighter shininess down to dull coppery matte. The other male does not seem impressed by the cheap replica coins and I feel slightly embarrassed when I pick them up to show him. He seems to want to focus on these rather than nearby very valuable coins.

Other than various types of coins, there are also old pocket watches here and there (association with time being valuable, making sense of time, or time in investigating dreams being valuable - being underwater represents exploring the deeper levels of the self).

I am not sure if the submerged man is going to be freed (he possibly represents everyman or how I see everyman), but I greatly enjoy exploring the ocean floor. Oddly however, I do not notice any fish or aquatic plants at any point.

Dueling Sensei to a "Yugioh the Gathering" duel (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Full Dream (+1 pts)
1st WILD (+10 pts)
RC (+1 pts)
Advance Flight (+10 pts)
Teleport (+7 pts)
Use electronics (+4 pts)
Advance Summoning/fictional char. (+15 pts)
Meet teammate. (+7 pts)
Incubation (+15 pts)
Personal Goal (+15 pts)

I decided to WILD and take the gamble of not writing my mini-lucid and hoping to not forget it. The WILD took a bit longer than I thought, but I was able to pull it off.

I once again had a false awakening and I could see my DJ was gone, so I knew I was dreaming. I still did a RC just to make sure and then I took off to fly. I noticed that I was right next to a massive town, twice as big as Chicago, but with many more and taller buildings. I decided to fly at full speed, as it was night and the city lights were very cool.

After a while flying, I felt well archored on the dream. I remembered my mantras of dueling Sensei for a Shadow Game so I tried to look for a store to be able to play a game, most likely, a store I play Magic the Gathering in waking life. After looking for a while, I realized that we needed a big place to make a duel since it was supposed to be like the anime. I visualized myself teleporting to a duel arena suitable for Yugioh. I closed my eyes and jumped (I was technically flying, but somehow I landed, or just skipped "frames" in the dream haha) I appeared for what appeared that Kaiba land or some weird place, because I saw a big Blue Eyes statue. There was a ton of people (real people) and a long line, but I just walked through some big doors and the security guard did not seem to care. I found a similar place like this:







The funniest thing, is how real it looked. It was not cartoonish, it was metallic, like stainless steel and the computers had windows on them. I almost lost lucidity here, as I had to reality check a few times and remind myself it is a dream. I was alone in the room, but I called Sensei out a few times without success. I started to touch buttons on the computer and it made noises, the noises were familiar to some anime, but I believe it was not yugioh. After a few moments, I heard a, "Hey" and I saw Sensei on the other side of the table. I wanted to summon a referee too, because for some reason the computer did not work and I assumed a referee was needed. One sure appeared on the side of the field, but to my surprise, it was a referee from Pokemon anime...







He looked cartoonish, despite everything else looked real. I shuffled my deck (which I believe it looked like Magic the gathering) and placed it on the computer and it turned on.

A few more frames skipped or something, but I do not recall drawning and yet I had cards in my hand. Most of them looked like Yugioh. I had one card that said, "The shadow realm" but it looked like the Seal of Orichalcos. I recalled the game needed to be a shadow game (my subconscious does not cease to amaze me.) I placed the card on the table, the same way like if it was a Land from magic the gathering (insead of inserting it inside a side slot like in Yugiog) A huge mist surround us:

I was looking for a photo of the shadow realm, and I just found a card that is actually "The Shadow Realm" WOW... I had no idea that such card existed lmao.

A voice said, "Lucidity in stake" Suddenly, I saw what I believe was a dark magician, but it was a red one instead of the usual purple one, I believe in the early anime there was a dude with two red dark magicians. I had no idea how or when Sensei brought it out, but it was my turn and I had a Vindicate card in my hand:







Despite not being a Yugioh card, I said, "Destroy your Dark magician" Suddenly, it exploaded (the dark magician was in front of me like in the anime, but for my Vindicate, I placed it on the graveyard like casting a spell in magic.

I then looked at my hand and I saw what I believe it was toon world, but the photo of the card was my DV's signature... what a mess lol. I placed it on the table and the actual toon world came out like in the anime:







For a higher pleasant surprise, it came with a prize, as I had also a toon ryu ran out and he was cracking up in laughter:







I almost woke up again out of laughing myself too. I told him to attack Sensei and an explosion happened on his end. But after a while, he casted a Damnation (another magic the gathering card)







And my toon was gone. I wanted to draw another toon, as I believe that my toon world was still out. I tried to see what were my life points with no luck. I pulled out something very weird, it was like the manga of Yugi as it had all these eyes that all egypcian rare cards have, but I cannot recall well what it was, but what i recall is that it shot like a ghost to Sensei and I heard the "ding" noise that the anime plays when someone looses a dual. I was happy because I won the duel and Sensei said something about his lucidity, can't recall well but he wasn't happy (Too bad I forgot to summon/draw a card for the Dark Fortress to hit another personal dare of summoning a big castle in the air.)

Suddenly, the purple mist from the shadow realm vanished and I could see the blue sky (well... we were indoors before, but okay....) And I think I just took of to fly.

Little shortly I woke up.

My cat ends my dream (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Full Dream (+1 pts)
2nd DILD (+5 pts)
DC Interaction (+2 pts)
Stabilize (+1 pts)
Flight (+4 pts)

I had a false awakening and I started writing down my previous dream. I planned to do a WBTB but I could not get out from bed. I was paralyzed. However, a moment ago I was writing a dream and I found the timeline to be impossible. I somehow turned lucid, but I could not do a reality check. The dream quality was terrible. My wife asked me where was I going and I told her I needed to fly.

I exited the house and took of to fly. After flying for a while, I could see the dawn of a new day and I saw a beach. I wanted to approach the beach but I felt something hitting me on my legs (I was still flying) until I woke up... from my cat jumping on me.

The moon turns off (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Full Dream (+1 pts)
First DILD (+10 pts)
Use electronics (+4 pts)
Interact with a DC (+2 pts)
Stabilize (+1 pts)
Advance Flight (+10 pts)
Teleport (+7 pts)
Basic Summoning (+4 pts)

I was working on my computer doing readings. On my queue, I got a reading from some random user name sharing with me that she was in a lucid dreaming competition and knew if she was going to win. I found it funny because I knew I was in a competition and I felt it was a good reminder to do a RC. And so glad that I did since I was actually dreaming. I decided to look around my other requests to see what my subconscious created, but then, of course my e-mail started working awfully bad and I think the laptop restarted itself or something very strange.

I was going to leave the house to take a fly, I saw my wife and said hi and I told her I was going to fly because it was a dream. She said, "ooookaaaaay...." I told her, thats fine, no worries, thanks for the two points. I kissed her and I left. I flew low to the ground in order to make the dream more stable and then took of to take a flight to space and visit the moon, as it has been a huge while I haven't gone there.







After flying for a while, I saw the moon, but for some reason, it vanished, it was like I would get closer to the moon and it would just "turn off" and always be a moon, farther ahead. I did not want to waste my dream this way, so I decided to teleport, I visualuzed myself there in the moon and shortly after, I was like on the moon because I was no longer flying and all the ground was grayish. However, as I looked into the sky (blackness of space) I saw another moon and felt curious to visit it, but I passed for some reason.

I wondered if WakingNomad, an old DVs user, was still around the moon, so I called his name. He appeared on the distance, so I count this as a basic summon. I told him about the metallic building located in the hidden face of the moon (old DVs users will relate to this)

I took a flight, but I believe was in slow motion and I assumed it was because of the moon's gravity. I saw a huge building, made out of metall. I entered it and there were some strange noises, so high that I thought I would wake up, so I exited the building right away.

I believe I was back on Earth, because the sky was blue and there were cars around, I cannot recall the surroundings well. This shocked me for some reason and I woke up.

Bit of lucid sex (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

WBTB (+2 pts)
Full Dream (+1 pts)
Third DILD (+5 pts)
RC (+1 pts)
Flight (+4 pts)
DC Interaction (+2 pts)

I had a false awakening and I started to write the Yugioh dream. While writing it, I realized that I did write this dream during a WBTB and how come I was writing it down again from bed.

I turned lucid and did a RC just in case. My hand looked okay, but very blurry. I jumped on bed and the gravity was odd, so I just took of to fly for a while.

I landed to some big plaza and I saw a hot DC who approached me. She started kissing me and the temptation was very strong, so I just went all the way until I woke up (I wont provide details lol.)

massive night, multiple waking each with recall (though fragmented later), final (late) waking beyond my ability to remember beyond fragments, one short DILD.

early (3 hrs):
+ viewing a medium-sized suburban apartment/home complex while narrator discusses rebuilding projects and changes to the rules about rebuilding, I think it's a bad deal to buy there

+ friend DD's (stolen?) forbidden luxury (purple?) fancy sports car

+(f) the young (girl?) says the team has taken ownership

middle (6hrs):

+ transferring funds into dollars, at the outside ATM, angry at (mother?), Indian man "who makes everyone happy" in parking lot at park, turns out he abused and murdered a child, I'm upset that I shook his hand

+ guest (cousin?) in large family, girls playing naked turn out to be guys, go upstairs & view colorful constructions, closeup of car "guaranteed to win"

+ famous actor wanted the job, he kidnapped/locked up two children, they're filthy, poop on the trail, the boy dies, medical explanation with props on a table and petrie dishes

+ (lucid #97) strange eclipse/things in sky, stand up through roof in car and say "come take me away!", return to parking lot at park and replay the scene trying to calm angry guy (me?), lose lucidity, dead bird head in mouth between guy & girl during kiss

I'm sitting in the back seat of a car driving on a straight highway at night, it's dark. I'm sitting on the left side and looking out the window into the night sky to the left. There are medium-sized rolling hills looming in the distance, and above the hill line are two groups of celestial objects. I'm looking at them and there's something odd about them. One is too large for a star, too small for a moon. It looks like an eclipse of several objects taking the same place. It's just too weird, I think "what's going on here?" I may be dreaming, I reach for my nose to do an RC, when my fingers pinch my nose I'm fully lucid without having to try to breathe since my nose feels wrong, insubstantial. I'm continuing to look out the window and right when I get lucid two bright star objects swoop down a bit and to the left from the eclipse cluster, I think they're acknowledging my lucidity. What to do? I'm traveling in a car at night with nobody around. I decide to exit car by standing up and phasing through the roof, I will face no resistance. I successfully stand up on the back seat with my upper body outside the car in the night. I look up to the stars/ships and call to them "Come and take me away!" but they do not come. I look forwards in the direction of travel and see only an infinite expanse of empty, featureless gray, it "feels" sort of depressing.

I'm back in the parking lot with the angry-at-mother parking incident, but now I'm standing behind my former self who was angry, (now my son S2?), and I'm trying to calm him down, "take a deep breath", I'm rubbing his shoulders, he's still angry , I lose lucidity, we reach the area of the parked car and there's a scene that replays once to show the detail of how a bird flew down to the upholstered bench where a guy and girl are sitting, squeezed through the seat/back down to the ground where a (cat?) chewed it up, and then the guy kissed the girl but he had the dead head of the bird between his lips and transferred it to the girls' lips.

late (8 hrs then 10 hrs?):

+ girl/woman has put the foot torture device on a man and is describing its features slowly turning up the pain levels as the man/they walk along

+(f) infrequently used jazz room at the top of the stairs, how will I sleep?

+(f) encounters on a stairway

+(f) pulling/pushing luggage around

+(f) someone pulls a thread on a costume, making it disappear (and burst into flames?)

+(f) lots of interaction with people (students?) living in a large home

4 Non-lucids last night but this is a good night of recall after a few lacking nights.
1: I ate dinner with my family at a fancy restaurant, I have a feeling I have either been to it IWL or in a dream before. I sit down and look at the menu, trying to decide what to eat, then decide that for once I'll go wild and I order the ultra expensive seafood banquet (`$200 if I remember). My family don't seem to mind as I dig into plates of prawns and oysters and fish.
2: The dream started with me sort of watching Jeremy Clarkson as if he was on a top gear episode, talking about the Bugatti Veyron. After a while I sorta morphed into the show so i was with him, and we got into a yellow Veyron and I started to drive.The driving reminded me a bit of those arcade game style thing with the 3 lanes. Anyway, I seemed to accelerate super fast and constantly had to brake behind other cars, until I finally got a clear run and gunned it.
3: I'm in a room (possibly my grandparents rumpus room) with a bunch of kids. There are a bunch of crosswords and other puzzles like you find in newspapers and I start trying to do some. Some of the little kids come running up to me asking for help, so I start to help them get some of the answers for their junior crosswords. I remember doing quite well, but I felt a vague uncertainty/unease through this dream.
4: I'm in a camp of sorts in a valley forest, with hills on one side and wooden huts and the freeway on the other side. The camp leader informs me that this is a retreat, a haven of some kind, and I settle down for the night. A rumor starts circulating that giant lizard creatures were attacking the country and this was the only safe spot, but it could be overrun at any moment. I kept awake all night, focusing on any sign of the lizards, but there were none. By morning I was bleary eyed and tired, so i confronted the camp leader and expressed my disbelief and anger at the hoax pulled on us. She was staring at something behind me though, and I turned around to see a large, black shiny lizard shelled creature (sorta like Kabutops from pokemon) crawling over the hill..

I want to start off by saying, the other day I had 6 lucid dreams, for the first time induced by me, previous ones before were random events. Anyway, one of the reasons why I am so interested in lucid dreaming is to stop the reoccuring theme of nightmares/or disturbing dreams. Those lucid dreams were really disturbing, and so, will not be sharing.

However, these next two dreams don't really deviate from the realm of disturbing, only that it is not as bad as they could have been.

__

This dream was the longest dream of many. I am standing outside the front door of my home, my downstairs neighbours dog, which is a western highlands terrier was standing in the steps and like normal he booked it to come say hello to me. My neighbour was standing at the bottom of the stairs and asked if I wanted to follow suit on their walk, her friend who had their own dog and a couple of kids would be there as well. I said, no problem. The next thing I know we are walking union terrace gardens, a small enclosed very vertical garden space squashed in the heart of the city right next to a train line. Her kids were walking just in front of us, and my neighbour's friend's dog was playing with me, sometimes he would bite me but then act really nice afterwards. Sometimes the biting was too much, I asked the owner to take control but she just glanced a disgusting look at me and ignored me. So I had to play wrestle with this dog and win, but then I realised. This dog wasn't playing or fighting, he was trying to get my attention. So i watched him use body language and remarks to convey his message, he didn't want to go back with his owner. He stopped dead in his tracks while everyone went further ahead.

The dog was hiding behind this fenced pillar, head coming from one side, paws from the other. He spoke to me in english, and I said, "wait a minute, do you realise we can understand each other now, are you speaking english or am I speaking dog?" The dog looked bewildered for a minute, then I noticed that this separation of head and paws was unnatural and something was a miss.

I grabbed the paws for a moment, and then this topless gangster looking guy with broken teeth came jumping out from behind the fence. He was really strong and there was much I could do but run. The next like 15 minutes of this dream is a getaway sequence of playing a 16-bit pixel art version of track mania, I don't have a good way to describe all that in detail, sorry.

I wake up, i'm sitting in a chair in a livingroom of someone's house. I see the talking talk lying asleep at the other side of the room. To my right rotated at a 90 degree angle is a man sitting on a sofa, closest side to me. To my left is that woman, also sitting on this same chair as me, please note that I have not yet revealed until this point, this is one big lady, 7ft tall and morbidly obese. She is very angry at me, about the conversation I had with her dog, I don't know what part she is angry about but she starts shouting at me and claiming that I will understand the consequences. I immediately shit a brick, and I'm pleading "wait a minute, let's chat first, clear out any misunderstandings" she wasn't listening so in a desperate attempt to save myself I grabbed the bat. Again I said, "look, just give me two minutes to explain", she remained silent, but did not act any further, I used this moment to try get her anger to ease up a bit so I kept repeating things like "if youre calm, i am calm, i can explain properly, take it easy, breathe". The stage was set for me to explain, but at that point her kids came into the room to my right, via a door between the chair and the sofa.

The first kid gave me a candy bar, I said thank but with no intention of eating it. Another kid gave me more candy, I had to politely decline as I don't really like candy and all this candy was becoming too much. Then kid number 1 snatches back his candy and bites into it, the edges of the bite started burning, as if was made of paper, the kid proceeds to blow the resulting smoke into my face. Trying to ask the mother to get him to stop didn't end well, as you could imagine. She took it as an insult and whipped out a fire extinguisher bottle, pulled the pin, aimed it at my face and sprayed that shit, everywhere. I had to get out of here, this place was nuts. I stand up and say, excuse me, I need to leave, thanks for your hospitality.

This lady blocked my exit and said "You're not going anywhere" as she clung to that baseball bat "on your knees".

Fortunately, this where I woke up.

I woke up at around midnight, I had a really sore head and the shop isn't open for another 6 hours. I went for a shower and sat under a high heat level for about 90 mins to massage the migraine away. It's hard though, my migraines usually have a snowball effect, where I start losing vision, balance and I feel really sick. I know once I left this shower, the migraine would come back within about 40 mins, so I had to fall asleep in that time, I couldn't stay in the shower because having a comfortable place to puke, will make it happen. I got out, got a duvet, wrapped it around my head several times and lay on the sofa, telling myself over and over "3 and a half hours, I will be pain free".

My next memory is sitting on the top step just outside my front door, finishing smoking a cigarette. From my vantage point I can see the courtyard of a business over the wall of my neighbours garden. The building is pretty derelict, but the company survives making doors and stuff. Anyway, i was unlucky enough to see an old man, grey hair maybe about 5 ft 6, stuff another man into a transparent bodybag, he was dead. I was sure there were 3 people there, 2 alive, 1 dead. When I looked a second time, knowing I shouldn't, there was only 2. Dead person and the old man.

Before I could make it inside and lock the door, a tall black lady, quite attractive stood outside my front door. I instantly recognised her as the missing 3rd person. I quickly decided to hide my fear and be as friendly and cooperative as possible. She looked at me quite angrily, and said, "I hear you've been looking at razorblades online, do you think you would get away with that?"

I was puzzled, I haven't and even if I had how would she know, or worse yet, why would she care. I had to answer carefully though, after what I had just witnessed, and I started to become paranoid that maybe, just maybe I had and had already triggered her visit before my knowing, regardless to being a witness to that situation or not. Who were these people?

Before I had a chance to answer, quickly walking up the stairs the old man came brushing passed the woman. He was dessed in all black and his grey hair was combed back, and it was... greasy. He looked rough, and dangerous and he had an unusually high pitched voice as he said "Alright then" as he invited himself into my house.

I tried to interject, and say: "Look man, what I saw, I forgot already, it has nothing to do with me". I looked at the lady just as I was finishing that sentence, she just smiled. The man carried on the conversation, in a very controlled manner. "Five days, I will be back here everyday for 5 days, at a time I see fit. Each day I will take five items from your home. Each day those 5 items increasing in value." He was upstairs in a room, and he made his way out holding 4 plates and a jug. "I imagine there won't be any problem with that arrangement?", the best response I could think of was. "You're going to take something everyday from here to keep?". He swiftly responded, "Nope". There was no aggression in his tone, I didn't feel threatened, which made it all the worse.

I woke up though, so it all ended well. My migraine had gotten soo much worse though.
