Dream 1:
I was in my room at night. I was trying to turn on my alarm (I use the alarm clock Mondays-Fridays to make sure I walk up at 11am) but something was wrong with it. I accidently turned it on. My sister comes into the room. end of dream 1

Dream 2:

I was in a throne room in a building in what seemed to be Roman Empire times. I was an emperor. There were 2 women and one child (a girl) who were telling me I somehow did something wrong. Then the scene switched to the hallway of the *building* and I saw horse statues. but each of them were "different"..they were missing parts..(I.e. one statue was missing a leg of a horse, another one was missing the arm of the rider) and when I the scene switched back to the first scene..the building was crumbling..down like an Major Earthquake was happening.

Dream 3:

I was an Chinese student and I was with a school group and we were in a museum and we were around a electronic campfire.Everyone expect myself were singing the song. A werid-looking man came out of nowhere...and asked us to do something. We just started to do it when I woke up.

I literally started the entry for this dream in my notebook with "No sir, I didn't like it."

The dream started in an incredibly ornate, huge room in a huge building on a really upscale street. The room was immense. I can still remember it vividly because everything was so beautiful, from the blue silk wallpaper to the all-white furniture. I was sitting on a sofa, wondering why I was there. Two little girls in the next room over were putting on ballerina costumes. I asked them if they were getting ready for Halloween, and they told me they were actually getting ready for dance class. I leave this fancy building, and go to work.

Important fact about me: In real life, I work in a big daycare facility. The building is an old two-story high school, and each room serves a particular age group, from infants to preschoolers. I work in one of the toddler rooms.

One of our little boys comes in with his father. He looks really scuffed up and scared. His father tells us that the boy had been lost in the woods for nine hours. Dad didn't seem too upset by this, but I was. I was like "Your poor baby! Is he okay? Why is he even here today?" The boy even had a bruise on his back from an animal that attacked him in the woods. But no one, not my co-workers nor the boy's father, seemed at all concerned.

I walk to the bathroom. This is where it got really freaky. I see one of the infants in the sink, fully submerged underwater. She had turned blue.

Suddenly a co-worker is with me in the bathroom, helping me to get her out of the sink and trying to revive her. Nothing helps. We carry her body to my classroom, and all the while I'm sobbing.

No one else is upset that a baby has somehow drowned at work. They tell me that the nurse will take care of her, and her body is suddenly gone. She comes back with the nurse, and although she still looks really pale, she's alive and walking. Everyone in the room (The nurse, my co-workers, and the little boy's father) look at me and say "See? No big deal."

I wonder if this dream applies to my job at the moment, and how. Do I feel like some people are being apathetic to real problems? Am I being oversensitive to little things? Definitely things to ponder.

As I write my Dream Journal, I'm noticing more and more ways to realize I'm in a dream. For example, the co-worker randomly appearing in the bathroom (a male co-worker at that...scandalous!), rooms I've never seen and so on. I need to get better at noticing these little dream quirks. I WANT TO GO LUCID DANGIT!

DJ Log: October 31, 2011 – 5:15AM (USA Eastern)
Text color legend: · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

I am working on the interior of a commercial building with several other guys. We are walking around on top of the walls, installing the hangers for a suspended ceiling. I'm joking around with one of the guys about taking down the ladder while someone is working up on the walls. When I go to get down from the wall, the ladder is gone. I step off the wall and float down to the ground. The other guys stop and give me a really strange look as I pick up the ladder and crumple it up into a ball, then throw it into a trash can. I pick up a packet of the ceiling hanger brackets, then float back up to the top of the wall and continue working.

Here is one I need to write down before I forget it...

I parked my turquoise truck in a gravel parking lot surrounded by trees. There are few other cars in this parking lot, but I haven't seen anyone else. It's early morning, the sky is grey and cold, and I believe I am in uniform. I open the passenger door and my cat jumps out and then runs across the parking lot diagonal from the truck. I run around the truck and call for her in an excited voice. It was one of those times where I knew if this wasn't a dream, that she would keep running from me, but I wanted her to come back so I had a "this is my dream, you do what I say" moment. She stops, looks back at me, and trots on over. She jumps up on the truck bed ledge and purrs and rubs on me.

By this time I go to pet her and give her a little kitty lovin's and an Lieutenant in uniform walks on over. She says "Is this your cat?" I nodded and smiled. She then glared at me and said "Why didn't you salute?"... I had been in uniform and didn't have a legitimate excuse, so I looked down and was in civilian clothes. I replied "I'm not in uniform!" and she gave me a snooty look and walked off. I put my cat back into the truck.

Had another dream after that, but I can't remember that one anymore.

last night i tried to induce a lucid dream...and failed. But i had two dreams as such. the first, i was around some people i didnt know. but i was on my street and they were talking to one another about random things. al of the sudden they were grabbing guns and shoot at each other for some random reason. i run into my house and it goes black. but i keep running into the next part of my dream. im in an area that looks much like brink. but im playing as dom from gears of war. ducked behind cover and shooting the locust horde. for some reason the dream restarts after jump behind a boomer and stick a grenade in his neck...this happens about 3 times. i then wake up and notice that i messed up the lucid dream, and instead of trying again i simply just go back to sleep. this time im in a car lot with a friend of mine, shea. i know there was more to this dream but the next thing i remember is seeing abunch of people that look like federal agents on a helicopter telling us to get in as gun fire is all around us. we fly away and are then given a mission to hook up with other under cover agents in japan. the helicopter stops and we jump into an ocean. when we serface its darker then before and there is a street raid in progress. my friend shea goes up to take a look but tells me to stay under a part of the street that hangs over the water. when he comes back he has the other agents and we are all talking for a little bit. then they all leave and i fall under water and wake up.

First entry! I got to bed around 10:15 pm, and I took 10 mg of melatonin, but I take that regularly as a sleep aid and it doesn't noticeably change my dreams much if at all. I wake up a lot during the night so if my dreams are memorable enough I'll usually be able to log at least a couple down. Tonight my first two dreams were completely blanked out of my mind, no memories whatsoever, but after that I managed to get a few.

5:21 am - My mom and I are at my grandparents' house. The point of our visit is tell them some important news. My grandpa is surprised at the news but overall not affected very much. I don't remember very much of the actual dialogue from this dream. Thinking back on it now, what I perceived as my grandparents' house was actually based on the house of an old friend of mine, who also appeared in a later dream even though I haven't seen him in quite some time. The house was basically the same only taller and the structure kept changing, it had moving staircases that looked kind of like the ones in the Harry Potter movies but that were placed in separate corners of the house rather than all out in the open. It's kind of hard to describe. Anyway, my grandma eventually got home and my mom told her the news too, but she totally freaked out and told us to get out and that she never wanted to see us again. My mom began arguing with her and I started to cry. I remember this part more clearly because it was at the end of the dream, I hugged my grandpa goodbye saying that it may be a while before we see him again, and he said "Maybe five and a half years, you're fourteen now!" This is pretty confusing statement, because I'm not fourteen, and I'm also not sure what exactly adding five and a half years to that would imply either. However in the dream it made sense to me as some kind of joke, and I managed to laugh a little bit, but it also made my cry some more. My mom said that we would be staying at one of her old friend's house for the night, so we walked out side and I saw her friend's car parked in front of the house, but then I woke up. Very odd, but I was happy that I had a dream to log down. Still, I have to wonder....

6:33 am - This was a weird one, I had a long string of dream sequences where, in the dream, I felt like I was constantly walking a line between the dreaming and waking worlds, but of course I was actually asleep the entire time. I was not actually lucid at any time. A lot of it is hard to recall, but I remember that near the end I was in a 2D world that looked kind of like that one old Legend of Zelda game on the SNES (I think it was the SNES?) and my consciousness was in one of the characters on the screen so I was seeing it in third person but it felt like first person to me. I had a bunch of company over unexpectedly and I was spazzing out because I hadn't finished preparing any of the food for the dinner party yet! But then suddenly my whole point of view started pulling away from the screen and I was at some really tiny school with this dinky playground next to it, and I was holding a Game Boy that had the screen on it still where the dream had left off. I started laughing and went "Oh, I'm dreaming!" (still not lucid lol). I took use of this fact to look away and then back at the screen to see it change randomly. The thing is because I thought I was somehow awake and dreaming at the same time I thought that I really WAS awake, but just like hallucinating or something because the dream world was layered over reality, and I figured all of the kids on the playground must think I looked insane or something because I was perceiving time to be really slow and stumbling over and everything and looking around with a big gaping smile on my face. I was following my friend whose house was in the previous dream, who I'll call D, to the parking lot but he kept changing into random DCs and I was losing sight of him. I was also walking a lot slower than him. I got to the parking lot but I was still on the grass and some random guy in a gold SUV drives up right in front of me on the sidewalk and parks. I go "Is that you D??" and blink, and my vision goes back to normal and it is D in his car. I get inside and another one of my old friends I haven't seen in a long time, C, complains about the Game Boy volume because I'm so out of it that I keep turning the sound all the way up and then all the way down to amuse myself. Since I think I'm fully awake now, I start typing down everything that just happened on my phone so I can write about it in my Dream Journal and so I don't have to focus to remember it anymore, only to wake up and realize that the memory is fading because of that so I hurry to type it down!

8:02 am - The last dream of the night. C, from the previous dream, is on trial for allegedly attacking someone, though in the dream this is consistently described only as "being Peter". (From Heroes! That wasn't explained anywhere in the dream, I just knew it instinctively at the time lol.) I searched around trying to find other friends of mine who witnessed the event so I could get their stories and try to prove that C was innocent, and finally I realized that my friend S would be able to get him off. S and her family drove up to the courthouse, which was actually like sort of a small log cabin-type convenient store, and she gave her testimony and he was set free. Suddenly I'm back at home and I notice that the back door to the garage was left open, so I go close it. Then I woke up. What an anticlimactic ending. :bravo:

So that's that, I'm actually surprised at how much I was able to remember, usually my dreams are so dark and hazy, but I guess getting into the spirit of writing a journal helped increase my recall!

i'll start with the two that weren't nightmares because the two that were nighmares were very similar (even though they were not consecutive)

i had to open this vault for these two ex-friends of mine that i had seen a few hours ago......i was the only one there with the code.....they weren't as rude to me as they usually are...and they brought out this strange cake....it was a vanilla cake with red jello poured into slits in it.......i was eating it with my hands and 5-6 preschoolers wanted some and i told them to take only a bite at first to see if they like it and then they can have more if they like it (which is what my gram told me about new foods the whole time i was growing up)

the other two were types of assisted living facilities.....i was a patient (which is something i fear because my docs want to take me out of school to put me in one if i can't get my depression under control)

the one was like a really old house and it had hard wood floors....i was the maid

the other i was a patient and tied into a wheel chair because i kept climbing on stuff otherwise

in both they threatened me with needles if i didn't cooperate (which is my biggest fear)

Last Nights Dream

I am in a black space and my vision is a little blurry. There is an elderly lady standing infront of me, she looks like my nan and thats who I think it is. This lady now takes both of my hands, holding them softly and begins to talk about my nan, she says something about dying and that I need to check om my nan. At this point I realise it's not my Nan but someone else who looks like her and i'm feeling a little confused because she looks so much like her.
When I woke up this dream played on my mind. I ring my Mom and say "i'm probably being silly but can you check on my nan for me, I explain the dream to her and she laughs and says "ok ill call you back" and giggles again. My Mom did call me back and she said "Ohh my god I can't believe it , I spoke to your nan and she was quite upset because her sister passed away last night" I nearly dropped on the floor!!!! make of it as you will but I believe I had a visit from her sister and she was trying to tell me she had died and wanted to check on my nan and make sure she was coping after her sisters passing )

This Morning I went back to bed for a while and had a lucid dream

I am standing in a room and I realise I'm dreaming, I think "cool I'll meet Joel" ((a singer in a band off youtube lol)) I look at my clothes and they are a bit scruffy, I then see Joels picture on the front of a newspaper and I say to a man sitting down "i'm going to meet him", my sleeves are to long so I grab them and try to rip them off but I couldn't , I then think "It's a dream, I can rip them if I want to" and then just like magic I am able to rip them very easily. I changed my skirt just by pointing at it but I was left with a longer black skirt on underneath, I decided to take it easy and just take the long skirt off by hand. Joel then comes through the door way and I'm really excited that I have got him here ((lol)) we go into another room and I am in my Mom and Dads house, it's different to how it is in real life. Joel was no longer with me. I see my Mom and go up to her...I say "I'm dreaming, this is all just a dream!" My Mom is looking a little red faced and stressed out and didn't reply to what I told her I could feel spirits following me and thought "I'll have to speak with them and see what they want. I stayed with my Mom for a short while and then I went up to her ear and whispered "it's a dream" it echoed and she moved away from me, I said "was that too loud?" she didn't answer me. I say I have to go upstairs to see my Nan and Grandad ((both are dead)). I think "they'll be there now I have thought they will be" I wanted to speak to them while I was dreaming. I begin to walk upstairs, I enter the doors which lead around the upstairs I then open the last one which led back into the kitchen downstairs, I think "Typical dream, it's sending me all the way round!" I shut the door and look about and think "it's quite cool how my imagination can build all this!", I reach out and touch things to keep my dream stable. I come to a room and see my Dad in there, he is sitting on a chair and he is worrying...he says "I need to know where he has gone!" I go up to him and say "Dad it's just a dream, calm down" He begins to worry more and starts crying so I try to calm him down. I am still just going with the flow of my dream, I visit different rooms and places and all the time I am lucid and just enjoy looking around my dream world while I am thinking "wow..this is my dream" ((don't matter how many lucids I have they never cease to amaze me lol))

I was outside and a woman in a slowly moving van was yelling at me out the window. What she was saying didn't make sense and the entire situation seemed hazy and weird, so I did nose plug RC. It passed, but I was still onconvinced, so I tried harder and it failed on the second attempt. She stopped yelling and was now outside of the car and I willed myself begin levitating. I flipped her off or something and she started at it again, but I was safely 10-15 feet above the ground. I tried flying higher, which was hard at first, but eventually I was soaring. The soaring quickly became erratic and I came crashing down into a haze and I lost my grip on the situation.

Later I was out for a run, which is also odd because running, jumping, and punching are usually things I'm unable to do.

It started with me, my room mate and a couple other faceless friends. We are watching a Dave Chappelle comedy stand-up special. I mention off-hand that I know Dave in real life and he is a pretty cool guy.
Dave makes a joke about kicking someone's ass and I mention that he's not like that at all, and is actually a nice guy. My room mate asks "yeah, but he would probably whoop your ass in real life." I agree saying "probably."

Later I visit Dave and he is with 2 of his friends in a class, wood-floored apartment. I tell Dave about what happened earlier and he asks what I said about his routine. I mention the ass-kicking joke and he asked what I told my friends. I tell him that I said he could probably kick my ass in real life. He laughs and I also mention that I told them he's not like that in real life, and that he's actually a really nice guy.
He then asks why I didn't bring my room mate and friends, one of Dave's friends comments "Where are your best friends(or why didn't you bring your best friends?" Which I think means something, since in real life these people are far from my best friends.
There was some more but I can't remember enough.

Lucid Dream:

This seemed like a long dream. But at this time it's fairly mixed up in my mind. I remember parts, but I am unsure how they fit together. So there will be some guessing.

I remember walking down the street with a group of people. I could see little alligators coming out to the sidewalk. I thought it was amazing and cool. I had never seen alligators on the streets like this. I pulled out my camera. But my camera was having problems and wasn't taking pictures. I felt frustrated at first. Then I thought, "But this is just a dream--why do I even care about getting pictures of alligators at all. Well, because alligators are cool. I have to keep trying to get my camera to work."

But then, of course, I suddenly realized that if this was just a dream then I should do something else. So I flew up in the air.

But this is where I get mixed up. I think I was suddenly with Jeff. I flew away from him. Then I flew back knowing he would appreicate it if I stayed and made out with him. I think I kissed him a little, but for some reason it seemed he didn't want to do anything. I took off my shirt and looked at myself in the mirror and saw that I looked sexy. And I flew off again.

I wanted to fly to the ocean. I flew over the countryside with rolling hills and pastures. I thought I saw the ocean, but it ended up being a lake. Then I looked beside me and saw a mountain. On the side were ledges that had animals like elk and deer. I thought it was so cool. I flew very close to a huge elk.

I can't remember what happened next. I'm pretty sure I was with these kids for a while. I think my lucidity was slipping away.

I do remember that I thought someone from real life telling me it was time to wake up. But I told them that I wasn't ready to wake up. And to be a rebel I opened a cabinet door and pulled out some chocolate bars. "I still need to eat chocolate." I took a bite. I wanted there to be carmel inside the bar and was happy to see that there was. I took many big bites, being a complete pig. I looked in the mirror and saw chocolate all over my face. There was a little girl with me also eating chocolate. She was making a mess too and we laughed at eat other.


When I awoke from my dream I noticed my alarm hadn't gone off like it should. I thought it was interesting that I had that voice telling me it was time to get up, probably about the time my alarm should have gone off.

I also know that there was more to this dream, and I have forgotten it.

NON-LUCID


10/31/11

I was in this house and watching PBS Kids GO! I was having adventures with D.W. from Arthur, and we were doing really childish things.






After a while, my mother told me I had to go to bed. She thought I was eating the cookies when I WASN’T eating the damn cookies, she kept doing it and I just gave up.



The dream fades away and the next dream where I’m in this store that has dim lights.




The store had poison drinks and they labeled whether or not it was, and if you do you would die.



There was chicken that was $2.99 and eggs for $2.99 (Holy CRAP THAT’S A GOOD DEAL).

Then they had the rest of the drinks.



Then there’s this weird looking guy who looks a bit suspicious wearing a gray shirt and khaki pants.



There was also this dude in a gray jacket picking up these big pieces of meat, it looked like a super-sized ground beef package, he was being picky on which meat to get because he was getting a good price for them.



Then another guy looks like Steve Jobs and he’s wearing a gray jacket too saying “I have Cancer! .”




Then the cash register wore a blue shirt, black suit and pants.



She was showing me the different drinks and went a bit more into detail. I think I tasted one of the drinks. I leave the store and see my dad and told him I bought some chicken. He said it was good that I was buying chicken, and I was like “yeah yeah.”

When I told him the price chicken, he said that was a good price and when I tried to tell him the test, trucks where coming by and making loud noises on the roads.

Then my dad turns into some Asian guy I knew from Cypress Lakes High School. He was a top ranked student of the Class of 2011. He was running away from me and I was following him.

He looks back and keeps running, then I’m running in sand, and I have trouble keeping up with him.



Then another Asian showed up who was on the tennis team for Cy-lakes, he was a sophomore when I was a junior. He said something about me having limbs and arms but no speed. I couldn’t recall it well.

10.31.2011
I dreamed Chels and I were at the mall sitting on a cushioned bench/love-seat thing. My arms were around her, and we leaned against one another as she closed one of her hands around one of mine. After a short while she fell asleep.

The dream shifts and we are on a different but similar love-seat in the same area, when she lays sideways onto my lap. I readjust my body so she's lying against me and I wrap my arm around her. We were talking about something but I don't recall what.

Early on in the dream, before we were on the love-seats, I had ordered some food for us at the food court. When I noticed they were taking a terribly long time getting Chellie's food ready, I left her on the seat and went to the counter. On the way I read the receipt, trying to remember what I'd ordered, but didn't recognize or understand any of the items listed. I stopped trying to figure it out when I read the item "1x www.JOOBIE.com," and handed the lone worker at the counter the receipt. (That site is not as interesting as it sounds. =P)

Since I couldn't remember what I'd ordered for Chellie, I just told her, "Can I pick up the order that has a fried chicken sandwich?" She gave me a look like she hadn't a clue what I was talking about, but tried to fake a smile to hide it, and started punching buttons on the cash register. Before the dream ended, I heard someone say, "She's the first woman to discover a whole new world," and I understood that it was referring to the cashier dealing with my order.

We never did get that order.

EDIT: Another dream fragment remembered from earlier.
I'm in a church surrounded by people with their heads down. Everyone is singing and then they all cross themselves. I try blending in - I hum along and place my hand vertically on my chest without crossing myself. My efforts fail and someone announces, "There's a rebel among us," with a laugh. Everyone disperses and I walk about the church before the dream ends.

I've been having lots of stressful dreams lately.
Let's see... last night (err... this morning), I fell asleep at around 3AM. I was up at 6 and back in bed by 7 and I woke up at 10.

I crashed so hard the first time it literally felt like I had JUST closed my eyes before the alarm went off. The only dreams I now recall from then was flying through a war zone in a video game-ish setting. I've forgotten the finer details. I also dreamed of riding a dinosaur that resembled a T-Rex while some narrator explained the terrain and the dino's physiology. A cliff crumbled under us at one point and we fell into some lava at which time the narrator said the dinos tough skin protected it from the lava

**Now I recall two other tidbits**
I was driving on the interstate and the roads were horribly complex. I got lost then started walked, trying to find my way. I was turned around and going in the wrong direction at one point.

In another dream, I was about to drink a fountain Coke out of my large cup. I picked the cup up by the lid. The lid fell off and I woke to the alarm clock going off

When I went back to sleep, I dreamed of my ex-husband. I was living in my parents house with my husband and my ex just waltzed in and plopped down in the recliner. I told him my hubby would be home soon, so we should talk elsewhere. He said he was just about to suggest that. I couldn't find my shoes or jacket and I was getting more and more annoyed. There were many more rooms than there should've been and I was getting more and more frustrated as I went through the house. There were people I didn't know living in some of the rooms. Some of the rooms were trashed.
I finally found my youngest daughters room and she had several girls over. One of the girls followed me around and told me that her parents used to like Zee- that Zee used to be so quiet and respectful; but now she has to sneak out to see her.

I finally found my clothes. My ex was waiting in his car when I made it outside. But it was VERY foggy. I got into my car, wanting him to follow me because talking in the driveway was pretty much the same as talking in the house. I somehow lose him and turn around to hunt him down.
Then, for some reason, I got out of my car, walked just a few feet then realized I lost my car. There were many more streets than there are IRL. I went up and down them, but I just couldn't see well enough to find it.
I ran into my ex then recruited the kids into helping me look.

Then the dream veered just a little and I started also focusing on sewer covers on the road right in front of the house. There were caps over the holes, then the cover snapped into place above it. They were of different sizes and shapes and I was getting annoyed trying to properly pair all of them. And I still hadn't found my car and hubby was due any minute.
Then I was behind something and I saw an ambulance in my driveway. I peeked around the corner and there was hubby. He saw me, so I had to go over and talk and hope he didn't notice my car was missing.

We went inside and he showed me part of the presentation he used during the convention he participated in as a speaker.
Then I woke.

At some point inside the house, I also dreamed of my old cat Rogue. I pet him and held him. I was so glad he finally made it home after having been missing for several years.


I don't FEEL any more stressed than usual. My dreams, however, point to a breaking point in my levels.
