My cousin and I with some of his buddies are kind of like characters in GTA. We are going down the freeway in the one’s car, and then he hits the nitrous and we are going at the speed of sound, and I can feel the incredible wind, sound, and speed. At this time, I was thinking we would die, so I started praying to Jesus. When we turned into the street that held our destination, which was a pseudo train station/civic center we got out of the car. As soon as we got out of the car, there was a truck coming behind us with a bomb in it (don't know how we knew), and it was like a minigame, seeing if we could get away from it. We all escaped unscathed and we started cheering and hugging each other. Then only my cousin and I walked into this train/civic center. We started walking, and I began to see many people from waking life. First, I saw two people from my church. There was this street which seemed to have a few school buses when we got out of the center, and I remember studying my cousin's profile. He had the same hair he has in waking life, same jeans as waking life, and the same Nike high tops. As I walked down into this courtyard from the street, I saw tons of people from my school. First to greet me was my friend from Italian class. She gave me a hug and told her friend "This is my favorite 16 year old". In waking life, my Italian class is one year older than me, because I skipped a year. I’m still one grade lower than the kids in my Italian class. I keep finding so many continuities in the dream world that come from my waking life, like my cousin’s features and my conversation with my friend from Italian class. I noticed that my friend from Italian class had braces. I then see my Italian teacher there, and she gives me a hug. We start talking in Italian on how our school’s trip to Italy was (and they are actually in Italy right now as I type this). So, it seems that I actually have a memory of things happening in waking life. The scene then changes from the courtyard to my Italian classroom. My whole Italian class from the previous year was in there. I begin to have a conversation with my one classmate on if I improved my Italian from last year. My teacher asked me if I needed to review anything for this year. I was then eating pretzels in class, and was making silly faces to my classmates. Then this one girl in my grade, who doesn’t even take Italian, showed up and started asking questions about the class. At no point did I become lucid, which seems crazy with all the continuities and hints to my real life. However, it seems that I need to improve on reality checks. Maybe whenever I see someone I know, I can do a quick check and ask myself “am I dreaming?”.

I was at work, and remember running errands for my boss. I also had to put a bird's eye map on the website, to show people where our building was. I had to somehow take the photo myself xD;;;
Another employee needed help with delivering boxes, so I went to help her. I first went to let my boss know that I was going to go, but saw her on the phone. So I thought I'd go quickly, and help the other, and then come back with the hope I wouldn't be missed in that time.
I then came back and made everyone a cup of tea (Because they're obsessed, even more so than me! xD)

Had to stay up all night because some friends of school slept over at my house.
I did a lot of awesome awareness training and I finally found out that I'm not doing ADA to get lucid but rather to increase my overall life quality...life is just more intense if you are aware of all the sensations.
Maybe this will help the awareness to carry over into my dreams.

So for tonight I'm gonna continue my "Don't even try to get lucid" method and hope that my subconscious will force me to do a RC.

Sorry if it's a bit much to read, this is my first DJ

When I woke up from this dream I couldn't remember it at first, I knew it was one of the greater dreams I had in a while but It just couldn't come to mind. After sitting for a minute thinking hard telling myself to remember it, I eventually did.

I was in some kind of zoo. The entire place was like a giant boardwalk/forest kind of thing with huge trees. People could stay in tree house type rooms and live there or at least stay overnight from what I could tell. Somehow I wandered off down the boardwalk and walked through a random door thinking it was someone's home. It was completely dark and as I walked to the center of the poorly lit room I heard a growl and then a huge roar. Apparently it was a huge Lion pen and the one in it jumped at me (the walls of the enclosures are giant trees but there was also two small trees in the center of this one) for a short time I was just yelling running in and out of the trees in the center or the room to avoid the lion because it was blocking the door. It moved out of the way and I finally ran out but sadly the door got bigger and the lion was able to run out after me. I turned a corner and up some wooden stairs (I think this was the entrance to one of the tree houses you could stay in) but I tripped and turned around and the lion was jumping at me over and over trying to bite me growling and snarling at me but somehow something invisible was blocking it an inch from my face and all I could do was yell at the top of my lungs.

Suddenly I felt weird and to what I'm guessing happened was a false awakening but instead I was awoken by my parents telling me I had a nightmare and that I was yelling. When I sat up I was actually in one of the tree house rooms. The dream skipped a bit but I was till in this tree house (In it was my Girlfriend, some random boy I hated the minute I saw his face even thought of course I can't remember it, my parents and from what I could tell the boys dad. My girlfriend was ignoring me from some reason, the boy as well) Automatically I knew the boy was supposed to be doing something off by himself but when I walked into what was my room in this tree house it was trashed with clothes and him and my girlfriend were laying there watching TV. For some reason all I could do was throw myself down and say "This isn't right" so I left to go ask my mom why the boy was there and all she told me was he wasn't supposed to be in my room, he was supposed to be somewhere else but the dream skipped again.

This time I was on a dock (Still in this tree house/zoo forest type world. The tree houses and animal enclosures were off to the center of the area but it was like a giant island surrounded by a big clear water river and on the other side was jungles and mountains) I was looking at this little cottage on the dock with my friend Brianna and somehow even thought it had no windows or doors it was filled to the top with absolutely clear water. I was walking in and out of it quickly, it slowed you down when you walked in but when you walked out you were dry. I thought the water was pretty neat so without control or thinking I jumped backwards off the dock into the water head first without taking a breath. It wasn't such a great idea when I realized this time I couldn't breath and Brianna was yelling my name from the dock. (For some reason even thought I couldn't breath I refused to move or swim up to catch my breath) Brianna dived in a grabbed my arm to pull me up and all I could say was a simple thank you. I then woke up and the dream was over.

Standing in my room looking out of my window on the road across the field. It's dark and it's snowing heavily. I see front lights paving the way for a bus. I know that there will be two girls, one of which I knew a long time ago and the other her friend, getting out of that bus to come hang out with me. I wonder why the bus doesn't stop by the red house at the road going down the hill to my driveway, and instead just keeps driving out of sight. A few seconds later, I see it reversing back up to the red house and the two girls get off. I watch the two from my window as I get more and more anxious. I turn the light out in my room so they won't see me spying, but I am quickly distracted by my bedroom being a mess. In panic I clear as much of the mess I can in a hurry and notice I'm wearing old unacceptable clothes. I try to be calm trying to find proper clothes to put on as my mother calls from the bottom of the stairs "Mikkel I think you have guests", while on the inside I'm spiraling down into a pool of awkward anxiety, almost at the edge of having an anxiety attack.

When I get down in the living room, a long table has been set up and the two girls are sitting by the end. I reach out to give the brunette - the one I knew once - a hug, when she had awkwardly reached out her hand for a handshake. "Oh well okay" she says and laughs. I sense she's just as awkward and confused as I am, while her friend just seems kind of sulky. I sit down facing the brunette, our eyes catch and I wake up.

I was in the middle of a field which had random fires and holes missing from it. I was with some random people, everyone was panicking because we was about to get bombed by an air raid. To survive the air raid we had to go into sleeping bags and lay still, my sleeping bag was filled with water. I don't recall the actual air planes but they must of spread napalm everywhere because I could feel intense heat, that's when i realized what the water was for... to cool me down. The sleeping bag was black possibly dark blue but the inside was a light blue. After it was all over and I emerged from my sleeping bag I was in my old primary school classroom, the one when I was in year 6, exactly how I remember it. I awoke straight after this, it was quite frightening and I found myself in a bit of a panic until I realized it was only a dream.

I am with my family at the Mission City Orthodontist building I used to go to when I younger. The building itself had a different layout than the one I went to in real life and looked a little bit more futuristic but I somehow knew it was the same place. Apparently we came here so my brother could have his mouth x-rayed and examined in preparation for his braces. However, as we are all waiting for the the examination to be over, my mother disappears. The orthodontist finally returned with an x-ray in hand but he looked very disturbed. He proceeded to show us the x-ray he had with him, however, the x-ray was not of my little brother's jaw but of his hand. The x-ray showed there was a large red mass of some sort in his hand. The orthodontist explained that this mass was a malignant tumor. He then stated that he was fully capable of surgically removing this tumor but was unsure how successful it would be at stopping the cancerous growth from spreading. And, in fact, was unsure if it already had spread or not.

My mother walked back into the room and I tried to explain to her what had just transpired. However, every time I tried she would cut me off or told me to stop. I told her it was extremely important but she didn't care. I was furious at her but also distressed at the news we received so I decided to leave and blow off some steam. When I finally left the building and shut the door screamed "god damnit".
The last thing I remember is taking the car and driving around for quite a long period of time.

Did remember 1 part, was at a school cafeteria, it had a separate window thing for disabled students and I had a go at some kid about it. Was pretty short

I am with this group of people that consists of me, Michael Westen (from Burn Notice), Fiona Glenanne (from Burn Notice), and a blonde woman I have never seen before. All three of us were in a parking lot and we were taking a man we had captured into custody. The blonde woman began escorting the man to our car (which is actually Michael's Dodge Charger from Burn Notice) while I observed from a distance. Suddenly I heard Fiona behind me shout to the woman to "not to let the man near the night club". I looked around and saw an abandoned building near the parking lot that I assumed was the night club Fiona was referring to. The building itself was beat down and surrounded by a few metal fences.

After inspecting the building from afar I turned back to observe the woman and man when suddenly the man broke free from the woman's grip and fled towards the abandoned building. The woman then looked at me with a hint of disappointment in her face. However, not having a lot of time to think, I ignored her and quickly gave chase to the man. I started sprinting towards the abandoned building and then proceeded to jump, climb, and even front flip over the metal fences with little effort. As I did so, I kept thinking to myself how cool this would all be if this was a lucid dream. As those thoughts crossed my mind, I woke up.

I was feeling sad my recall sucked all night so I really focused after the snooze.

I found myself having see with my wife. We almost flipped into an impossible position. There was brief darkness a vertigo. Then we actually do flip. I thought," This feels very dream like"
But before I really think it through we are now walking together on a long wooden deck outside.

I look back at the bed and see its red with some creepy boy sitting on it messing with a hand held device. I note part of my house has no walls but think nothing of it.

I follow my wife into the shed. She bends over to pick something up and I put her pants down to continue. At some point there is a dual image of me having see with her and humping some random plastic tote. I can hear her and feel really confused. I begin to question things when the alarm goes off.

I snooze again and find myself mountain biking with my parents. (lol ya right) I want follow a trail to a hidden park but dad is convinced it's the other way. I follow and when we get there I am proven right. There some yard and abandoned farm equipment.

We go back but it's dark now and I have some red flashing light on my bike. The are some people with some sort of ATV ahead and their lights blind me. I try to shield my eyes but it doesn't help. My bike fades away and I begin running. I enjoy the ease of it.

Now I am back at the start the next morning. I freak out that I left my bike. Dad's says it's not there but I have to at least look. I run and see that I am on some boat dock. There are life preservers and fish nets lying around. The water looks a little on the brownish green side. The alarm wakes me.

Legend: Dream , Semi-Lucid , Lucid , Side notes.

Betrayal:
I'm on some sort of tropical island with some friends. If you walk up the shore, there was a pretty big castle, there was an amusement part inside it. One of the areas inside was like a lego land, me and a friend i don't know rode mine carts in some hellish looking lava place. It was fun though. As we walk outside and back toward the coastline, we notice a Hummer was about to be given away. I enter the contest and win by chance.

Soon after, i walk down toward the shore line and talk to my friends, then i start talking to random people i don't know. After that, everything goes to hell, the FBI start shooting missiles all over the place, and because of that, i take shelter inside the castle. Eventually, the people inside start going insane and every one is killing each other. After a while, most lights are out and the place is blown to hell. I soon find a group of mercenary like people and hang with them.

Our group soon makes it's way toward an exit which leads outside, the bombing has stopped, so me and another person go outside. The guy i'm with says "Sorry about this" and then shoots me with his submachine gun. I feel the bullets hit in various places on my body. After about 18 shots, he stops and then fires one more time to finish me off. One of the bullets hits the right side of my neck and i feel blood come out. I instantly drop after that, i'm not dead though but decide to lay there so he thinks i am.

He eventually leaves and i get up, i feel my neck and there's a little blood but everything else is fine. I guess i'm like a vampire or something. Either way, i start walking and eventually end up at a place that looks like my backyard, i find my dad there but in this dream, i don't recognize him as my dad. I walk up to him and he gives me food and guns for protection. And i find out, not only have people gone crazy, but monsters have invaded, how nice.

He gets up and we go out to this mountain woodland place, we're hiking up the trail to some destination, but a fire has started spreading and we decide to go back. We head back to camp, the only people there now are a guy and a younger girl. My dad disappeared. Anyway, those two are friendly and they go out to collect monster souls which they then use to make potions.

Sword:
My dream has a medieval setting. I'm in some watch tower at night, there's a busy town below. I take a broadsword off a stand. I then exit the tower. As i stroll around the town, i see a computer with skyrim loading, i decide to go over and mess up some settings hehe. But then this ladies mother catches and chases me into this alley. While we were there, i take the sword and stab her. I then flip a secret door open and drag her down into it.

Once we get down there, we're in a room full of my slaves, i lock her up on the wall. As the slaves eat. One asian slave takes her drink and she gets mad, i set there and laugh.

Engineering sector:
I'm in some sort of big rpg world with a team. As we're walking, me and this other lady fall off the bridge, we land in a high level engineering area we haven't unlocked yet. There's some people down here building jets and stuff, the lighting is dark. However, i luckily find my way up and talk to an engineer from tf2. I tell the engineer to go back down and help the lady but he shows me his paintings instead.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing AI War with SilentEternity and there was a battle.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was in some anime apparently and was exploring some ruins with a group of people, searching for something. Then i was in and there were some anime girls, then there was group of people who were apparently from certain forum, i joined them and we were celebrating somebody's birthday and there was one person who was trying to fool people. They got weird minitower on the table and i decided to climb it, i got to the top and then jumped down. Then it went back to exploration of ruins.

Dream 3:

I wake up, get up from the bed and do some stuff, i remember that i should do reality check, but before i do it some weird noise comes and i wake up.

LUCID

*I looked in the medicine draw in my kitchen, there was a conditioner bootle in there and this caused me to become lucid. There was also a picture of my teacher lama dorjee. I put the picture down and look to my left, there was a picture of padmasambhava just like the one I have on my shrine. As I looked it because for real as if he himself entered that very picture. For some reason after I put the pictures above my head and let them float off like a ballon.

*I became lucid while standing in front of this office building. The wind of was blowing and weather was perfect. I just kind of stood there for a minute enjoying the wind scooping the place out. I thought now it's time to fly. I took off but everything soon faded.

I'm in what looks like a high school gymnasium, minus the bleachers, with a bunch of other people. I don't know why we are there, but I don't think we are actually attending high school. The only person there with me that I think I recognize is a middle-aged woman, C, whom I'd had some classes with in grad school.

I think people have sleeping bags and/or are just hanging out on the floor. There is a television at one end of the room, and someone puts on The Avengers. In the dream I don't own the movie yet, and am super excited that it's already out on DVD/Blue-ray.

Suddenly Tom Hiddleston-as-Loki is there in real life, performing his confrontation with Odin in Thor, except that Odin isn't there and Tom/Loki is facing us. He's only a few feet away and I realize, to my delight, that I've basically got front row seats. I'm sitting just behind C. I'm pretty sure we're sitting on the floor. The weird thing is that we're sitting on the stage and Tom is performing from where audience would normally be. (I don't think my dream self considered this weird, though.)

Tom is dressed pretty much the same as Loki in the movie, except he has a neck brace with writing on it, as if friends had written on it like people do on casts in school. Anyway, I feel so lucky to be there, and I'm totally feeling his performance. I actually get shivers. My attraction to him is secondary to the fact that I'm getting to see this amazing actor perform live and so up close.

Tom is gone now, and I realize that I've been resting my forehead on the back of my former classmate's shoulder. I'm disappointed that instead of enjoying Tom's performance fully and maybe getting some eye contact, I've been hiding my face. I'm also distraught about what the C must have thought about the close contact -- we barely know each other, after all. She has gone somewhere, but I decide that when she comes back I'll apologize and tell her I was tired or had a headache.

Next, I'm outside. It is nighttime, and it looks like I'm on or very near a college campus. There's an abandoned building made largely of glass, which I enter. The ground is earth, and I'm excited to see that it is littered with beautiful crystals. I'm particularly in awe of this huge quartz crystal that must be at least 2/3 my height. It is lying flat on the ground. When I come closer to take a look at it, I see that there is a beautiful, large blue topaz crystal inside the giant quartz, maybe six inches from the point. I decide that I must take it home, worrying if I'll be able to carry it, but when I touch it, it feels like plastic and I'm disappointed.

There is a cluster of topaz or aquamarine lying on the ground nearby. These are attached to the matrix, so I'm sure these are real. However, I don't want to dig it up with my bare hands, so I leave to get some kind of tool.

Outside, I meet a college girl. She says I shouldn't be walking around alone at night, though she's doing the same thing. When I tell her or she sees that I'mgoing to the abandoned building with the crystals, she says she knows it, and seems excited to accompany me. (I don't remember if I got a tool or not.) As we approache the building, however, three female employees from a nearby store are keeping watch over it, since people aren't supposed to be entering.


Key thoughts/emotions: Elated, Uplifted, Impressed, Embarrassed, Disappointed


Interpretation: I think this dream says a lot about my beliefs regarding my acting career, or just creativity and self expression in general. I'm watching one of my favorite actors peform; he's totally in the flow, and I'm feeling it as well. I'm on stage, and yet I'm hiding my face.

If the quartz crystal were the human body, the blue topaz would be in about that same region as the fifth chakra, which is seen as blue and associated with creativity and self-expression. I think it's too good to be true (feels like plastic), so I focus on some more realistic mediocre crystals. Yet I don't want to get my hands dirty, so I go looking for a tool and end up locked out and without any crystals.

My original interpretation is that I don't believe that I can really have what I want: an exciting, fulfilling career that puts me in the spotlight (the big quartz with the topaz inside), but I don't want to settle for a mundane job or getting little reward for my efforts (not wanting to get my hands dirty getting the smaller cluster).

Dream dictionary entries, however, suggest that plastic can means not being true to oneself. This would change the interpretation from simply not believing I can have a successful career to not being meant for great things , but not wanting to settle for less.

Both are pretty gloomy interpretations for a dream that initially left me smiling.
