Just what the title says. No, I haven't already quit. I just had to take some MORE time off from lucid dreaming unexpectedly thanks to getting sick. But now that I'm 99% better, I can start again with documenting my average dreams and work towards making them lucid once again.

I don't recall my dreams from last night, but I do recall an interesting dream from the night before, so I'll summarize it now.

The dream began as a false awakening. I got out of bed and was about to begin my daily routine when I decided to go back to sleep for a few more minutes. So that's just what I did; I got back in bed and lay my head down and I was out.

Now I was in a dream within a dream (notice the darker text indicating a deeper level?). I found myself standing on the edge of a vast canyon and exploring the surrounding area. Something didn't feel right, but I couldn't tell what. After about a half hour of looking around and finding nothing interesting, I decided to lie down and go to sleep.

Now in layer 3 of the dream, I found myself at a friend's dorm at the college he goes to...only the actual layout of the place was nothing like the real-world college. The dream explained it away as remodeling, and I never caught on that it was a dream. My friend was asking me about dreams, particularly lucid ones, and if it would be possible to share dreams.

"Sure it's possible, I've done it before." I said. "We could do it right now in fact, if I can manage a WILD."

"Well, want to give it a try?" He asked.

I agreed to try, so we lay down and went to sleep.

I was now in layer 4 of the dream, aware that I was dreaming, and in a white void. All around me all I saw was white. I couldn't move anywhere or speak, and when I tried, it simply woke me up into the previous layer of the dream.

"Did you do it?" My friend asked.

"Yeah, but I couldn't stay in for some reason."

In another moment, I woke up from that dream and into the layer before it. I was only at this one a split second before I shot up into the air as the dream faded out into the first layer, and I sat up in my bed.

"That was a crazy dream!" I said to myself as I climbed out of bed.

Then I woke up for real, and was totally disoriented from all the waking up

Posted from the dreams between Wed, Dec 1 - Thur, Dec 2

First Dream Location: Night, Old World Village, Modern-day

From what I can remeber as being the start of my dream, I was standing outside, at the time of what I would say about 10:00 PM. It was completely dark and there was a black street light standing tall and bright in front of me. Next below the light was a cobble stone pathway appearing to be everywhere in the city with no signs of dirt or grass paths. Next to the lamp were rows and rows of houses that were painted white with dark wood (either red or natural brown) support beams, which seem to be German influenced housing. Past the light farther up the path stood a man with gray hair (including a mustache), a brown coat and pair of pants, and a blue and white striped fancy long sleeve shirt. The most notable thing was that he was holding a very shiny gold saxophone. He didn't play, he just continued to make eye contact with me and I walked away to a bar where I sat for what felt like 3 seconds and did nothing. The bar had low lighting, everything was dark wood, the lights had candles in them and where hanging in cast-iron frames. It was fuzzy in the room, it felt tired and dark. I felt like I was entering locals territory and the bartender came up to me and just stared, giving me an I-know-what-you-did look while he was cleaning out one glass the entire time with a very white cloth napkin.

Second Dream Location: Construction area

I raced through on a green sports bike with a green helmet on. There was a random woman holding on to me while we were racing through the construction zone. Suddenly I gun it down and aim for this make-shift ramp (seemed to be just some random wooden planks). We jumped up in the air still on the bike and headed directly towards a concrete wall about 6 feet away. The dream skipped over and we must of just landed safely while defying the laws of physics and were standing behind these metal walls (there was a second story with 4 metal walls about 5ft across, if you have ever played Halo 3's "The Pit", on the third story where the turret is near, it's those exact same walls.) The construction zone was simplistic in color, it was tan, and with about 4 red metal support beams. Everything in the room looked soft, almost as if it were a video game. Suddenly as I got my good overhead view of what my surrounding were 3 men jumped out of nowhere, allegedly hiding behind all the construction equipment. We appeared to have a shootout (while I was still wearing my bike helmet) and it was going no where. I threw a blinking explosive device (the C4 from "Just Cause 2") and the dream ended.

Third Dream Location: Ski Resort/Hotel

I looked at the TV as I saw countless Skiers plummeting down a literal 90 degree angle slope. It was a macho contest of failure as I watched 5 or so out of 10 immediately fall face-first or on there backs (the other half just kept going). The snow was incredibly white and looked amazingly good to Ski on. I suddenly hear my sister blurt out "I want to go down that slope" and everyone somehow gets into agreeance of going down this slope. As sudden flash and we were an an orange docking and un-docking room for skiers (the chairlift doors). The outer trim was white and the weather was amazing, clear paths, and awesome visibility. The building was made of about 40% glass and had an orange trim all around it. I tried to exit fast, but there were 20 or so adults and children in front of me all in black rings for going downhill. I skied for who knows how long and arrived higher up on the moutian some how. I went into a room that was dark, all stone and had a pool of water in it. There was a huge line, and some even jumped into the frigid water to get out. We got to the end in about 5 seconds. I awoke again in the hotel (green sheets, white lamps with gold bases, cream white walls, generic looking hotel). I was watching TV when one of my sisters friends came looking for my sister.

Fourth Dream Location: Old Bar/Knock-off Star Ship Enterprise

I was in an old bar with my old friend Eric. We were catching up on old times and talked for about 5 seconds (but it was about 3 full length conversations). We talked about music for a while and we were listening to nothing (I'm assuming there was something in the dream). I told him, "do you want to know an awesome song?" We were already on YouTube.com and I started typing, but there was a distortion in the letters. I typed about 30% letters, 40% emblems and 30% other. I was extremely confused and went to Google.com, the same effect happened when I typed. At Google.com, it was stylized, there was a blue and white background image of stars and the logo of Google was replaced with a distorted image (looked like a black hole was sucking in something). He said "wait" and click on the black-hole and we went back in time 5 seconds and the same typing process happened. He said "wait" and this time the hole sucked us in and I was in a dark room. The room had all tan chairs (like the ones in Star Trek) and there was no artificial lighting. There was one window with a sun outside in space and a chair 2ft away from the window. There in a big elaborate chair was sitting Patrick Stewart in his Star Trek costume staring outside. He pulled up an all blue and bright cyan hologram of what looked like a diagram of a molecule. Everything was sucked up and the dream ended.

Well that's it , I have no idea where the basis for most of these came from.

I actually had this dream a couple days ago just never got to post.

From what i remember the dream started out with me and a couple of friends walking around town. The whole place seemed different. There were giant hills all around the place. We walked to a forest but i cant remember what we did. We walked home but i didnt recognise the area so i seemed to be wandering wherever they went. I eventually found my way home and went inside to the basement. The whole house seemed normal but the basement was a lot larger and some items had been moved around. My dad came down stairs and handed me ten bucks and sat down at a computer. I asked him if i could go buy a dime with the money and he said yes to my suprise. As i was about to walk upstairs a tall man walked down and threw me a giant bag. I was suprised by the size so i gave him the money and he dissapeared. I walked upstairs and some friends were waiting for me. I showed them the bag and they all got really excited. I laughed and we all went upstairs to smoke. When i went back down to the basement later on i found a large group of people partying and playing loud music. Usually im fine with this but they were breaking some CDs and other things and 2 girls were wrestling on the ground though they werent very atractive. I got angry and yelled at everyone to get out but none of them would. No one payed attention. I got extremely angry and my voice seemed to turn into a booming sound as i yelled at them all to leave. Everyone stopped and just dissapeared ( i think that might have been me controlling the dream im not really sure) i than woke up because i was really hot.
When i fell asleep yet again i found myself in a sort of strange playground. I walked over to the edge and there was a large river. I cant really explain it that well but there was an extremely large object that kind of looked like those giant oil pumps. But it wast attached to anything. I stood in front of the hammer like part of it and it began to spin around wityh me on it. I was extremely confused about what was going on and the rush from it all seemed to wake me up. When i fell asleep for the third time, i found myself in a huge highschool almost like it was for giants. Me and my friends were walking around and a kid came up and challenged my friend to fight. I was confused because this kid was really big and didnt look like he should even be in school. He and my friend fought and my friend lost.
Than we were in a cafeteria and my same friend was sitting at a table and the lunch lady came up to him and started yelling at him to fight her and redeadedly slapped him. I dont know why i cant really remember. My friend backed down and the entire school laughed at him. There were thousands of them. But i think i woke up after that.

I am at a lakefront. There are some other, unknown people with me. I possibly swam in the lake. I'm quite sure theres a part of the beginning of the dream missing. We go to an island by car. There we drive recklessly around. After driving for a while, we stop. I get off the car and go into a house. I can't remember what we did there. After it we go to a bus. The woman (I think she was female) with me takes a green blanket and says that we'd have to mask ourselves. She wraps the cloth around her head and I go under it. I (or we?) leave the bus.

At this point I had a false awakening. I woke up in my room and started writing down some notes of the dream. There were some unknown people in our house, a man, his wife and their daughter. The computer was on so I showed something to the daughter. Then I went back to sleep.

The dream continued from the island. We go driving again. After that it's the time to leave. I go to the shore, where we landed. Now there are some people I know with me. A friend of mine says she has to go already. I can't remember with what she left. My brother comes to me, showing me a map. Theres northern Europe and the Baltic sea. We are somewhere in Poland. Theres our route marked with red. Meanwhile, mom is driving to the same place from France. My brother says he'll go there with mom's ride so he'll be there before me. After that he disappears. The next thing I remember is being where the dream started. I go into a shopping centre. I see my friend again, but she goes into a device of some sort and disappears. I walk around for some time. I realize that I have no money at all. Someone drops a coin, not noticing it. I pick it up. It's a two euros. I go back the way I came. Theres a square pit on the ground. My view shifts into it. Now I see myself as a creature made of pure energy. I'm in a alcove at the wall of the pit. Orange beams of energy form a grid about half a metre from the pit's bottom. Also my friend is there, in the form of an energy creature. Also numbers and letters form to the sides of the square. There are now nine smaller squares and about nine numbers or letters at a side of a square. Now she speaks.
"This enigma may seem complicated to you. However, once we get more known with each other, things like this will be part of everyday routine."
The dream ends before I have time to ask what she means.

This time things were different. Usually i fall asleep and i can dream and wake up and remember it all. But last night i was thinking about other things. Stuff iusually dont think about, well at least i havnt for a while. But when i fell asleep there was nothing but darkness. Just darkness all around me. No dream, no weird events, no trying to be lucid. Just nothing. I woke up repeadedly in the night but everytime i fell asleep there was just nothing. Absolutly nothing.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID SEMI-LUCID

Good morning! Woke up and couldn't recall anything. I was waiting for my ride when it suddenly hit me. A very crazy dream, in which I was almost lucid.

10.00: Bedtime

Crazy Party
I've just arrived at a party. It seems I'm a bit late, as most people are pretty drunk. There's a table on which I can see all kinds of Bacardi Breezer. I can't seem to find any cloudy ones. "Is there any cloudy Bacardi's?" I ask the guy at the table. I spot a cloudy drink standing further away, it will have to do. I grab the drink and a guy comes up to me. I recognise him, it's a friend of a friend. "Hey Matteh!" he smiles with his mouth open and holding two plastic cups. "That's my drink, but it's okay!" He can't even stand straight and I put the drink down, spilling it all over the table. "Oh, whatever dude!" he tells me, even happier.

I walk away and start climbing over tables and low walls. Suddenly I'm jumped from behind. I grab the person and slam him down on the table. It was just my friend Henrik fooling around. I've somehow hurt him bady and my other friend Felix is there aswell. Apparently I've hurt him too, and everything gets very emotional. I hug Henrik as I tell him I'm sorry. Tears starting to form in the corner of my eyes.

The dream skips. I'm still at the party, drinking Bacardi's with my brother Martin and my sister Madeleine. Suddenly I feel something's not right in my mouth, and I feel around with my finger. Three teeth fall out and I spot a hole in one of them. "Because of the infection, the pus in the mouth has started to rot" a narrator voice tells me, and I can feel the disgusting taste of pus in my mouth. I start puking my brains out. The vomit is black and red and the narrator voice continues on telling me how disgusting it is.

"Wait a second..." I say. "This is way too bizzare to be happening for real, I must be dreaming" I head for the nearest door and my brother and sister follow. I stand in the middle of a courtyard in the knee-deep snow. "If this is a dream, everything should be unstable" I tell myself. I can feel the cold snow on my feet, and everything around me looks too vivid to be a dream. I decide it's reality...

05.15: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 7 hours

Supplements before bed: Nothing

That's it! Very close to becoming lucid. Did meditate before bed, and did some mantra work. Might have been that! I bet if I really try hard and meditate every night, and do some mantra work before bed. I'll become lucid much more often.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

Nothing to epic, but first complete dream I remember in a while.

The dream starts with me and my parents (rest of my family is non-existent for some reason) at "our house." The house is completely different from our real house, and it is located in the city, where in real life I live in the country. The house is really small with a door that leads directly to a staircase, which makes a u-turn into a single bedroom, where my parents are currently located. Anyway, I hear a knock at the front door and I jog down the stairs and open it. It is a tall man with slightly-longer-than sholder-length grey hair. He looks old (as if from stress not age) and he has a longer face and eyes. He is expressionless as I notice he is holding a knife and starts walking towards me. I stupidly sprint back up stairs with him following, where he then sees my parents. I am not exactly sure what happens here as it all happens real quick, but he goes after my parents, I somehow manage to hop over him and get him to chase me back out of the house.

I have a strong "adrenaline rush" feeling (if that is even possible in a dream) as I am sprinting down the road with this mad-man running after me. It is night-time and my cries for help seem to go un-noticed. I keep racing down the road between houses as he is getting closer, where I then dart into someones driveway. (Which is more like a small 10-car parking lot between houses) There is a car and random rubble around, which I attempt to use to my advantage. He lunges at me and I dodge where he gets impaled on something. (I don't remember if it was the rubble, or the car in the parking lot, I am guessing the rubble) I have an odd feeling that he is about to lunge at me again, which he does, and I dodge again, where he gets impaled yet again and finally dies. I walk back home to check on my parents where it then switches to another dream, something about flying out the window into space, which I don't remember what happens their either, but I remember part of the space dream.

All I recall of the space dream is that a friend and I are on an enemy space-craft on a stealth mission, and I am trying to rescue some team-mate from an on-board cell. I don't recall what really happens, but I do remember one part where I am at the base of the ship, where there is a "back door" that opens into space. I could look out, and it was very colorful. There was a large orange-ish planet with lots of stars around that gave a odd mix of blue, yet with a warm feeling. (I don't remember the colors exactly, but it was quite beautiful)

Another piece of a dream, which I think came before the chase dream was something to do with my (now dead) grandmothers house. She had a pool, and I think the family was trying to figure out how to transfer it to another location since the house was being sold. Somehow it ended up with me and two of my siblings swimming in the pool. For joy.

the first thing i remember was attending some sort of concert that my friend was putting on with the piano at a park that was also an amusment park. the grass was dark green cut nicley and the playground reminded me of a carousal kind of build. There were some rides but not to many. Friends showed up and we all started dancing to the piano and i eventualy made out with a girl i know whos two years younger then me. She invited me to sleep over and iwas lsikke yeaaaaa. we kept dancing in the moonlight then we went up the trail to trailer and someone have me like and eigth of weed two joins and a blunt for no reason except that he would be coming over later to smoke some. I said aite sounds good Then we went up to tayler and watched some kid get busted by our schosol administrator who was driving around in a golf cart searching people. I through a bunch of tin foil nd shit over the fence and walked calmly home. I showed up home with my friend and then put the weed in my second mail box which was now in a coca cola coin collector. I covered it with shubberey helped my dad with chores and went back out and grabd my weed put it into a bag.
I showed my friend how much i had and he was very excited so then a bus picked us up and we went to majic mountain. There was some sort of sling shot bunjie thing that shot you into the air and i attempted it and shot up way high and floated down towards the ground. After that there was another concert in the park and i attended that. After i again walked home and hung out with my friends in the front yard. After i found myself at a train station and when i got through to the other side me and my friends were all high as fuck making fun of diferent tour guides who showed us into what was a museum inside the train station. after that there was some dance and i didnt go i waited outside and some girls asked wat i was doin nd isaid i was thizzen wen i wasnt nd they said oo come in side but i did not nd woke up soon after

Small Town Secrets

I am in a small town somwhere. It is not my home town, but a friend lives here and he tells me a lot about his friends. My friend and I are somwhere in the town, and there is some adventure going on (darn it, I can't seem to remember many details except that it was interesting). There is a murderer somewhere and I think we are trying to catch him. There is some shooting and climbing around hills. My friend and I climb up a bank, and come across a secret passage in the top of a huge church. My friend tells me to run back into town and get a few friends.

I run back to town. The dream is set in the 1950's, and I walk into a diner. It's a bit like a scene from Happy Days in there, and I try to find the people my friend was talking about. I ask around, and come up with a couple. (There's more to this part, too. I just can't remember what. Somebody doesn't like me asking around or something. And I think I eat something).

In the company of these freinds, I go back to the top of the hill and find the opening to the passage. My friend is waiting there. He seems to know the way, and leads us down in. At the opening, the passage is very narrow, just like a crack in the rock. Farther in it opens up and looks like a hallway in a building. A few rooms appear, and a bathroom. Everything is a clean white color, like a hospital. I wake up before we go much farther.

Back to my Grandparents' House

I am at home. I am getting ready to make the drive to my grandparents' house, and am going to eat before I leave. My mother is going to make macaroni and cheese, but not until supper. I will have left by then, so I try to find something else to eat.

I know that the next day I have to give an oral presentation. I have given many, but this doesn't stop me from worrying that the anxiety will ruin my evening.

Hunting for Arrowheads

My family and I are staying at a lodge (one that exists in real life. We were there about two months ago.) I get up one morning and decide to go arrowhead hunting around some overhanging rocks I saw earlier. I make my way down the path, and come to an area that I don't remember from real life, but have dreamed about before. I go down a littl deer trail rather than the main path. and come into a wooded area with the rock overhangs. As i walk it begins to storm. At first I think nothing of it, but then a bolt of lightening hits so close I can feel it.

I dash under an outcropping. It is dark under there, but I have a flashlight. Shining it around, I can see bits of flint on the ground. Searching some more, I find arrowheads and other arifacts. They are quite well made, and in waking life I would categorize them as Mississippian, though there seem to be some Late Archaic types too (these are much more delicate than normal late Archaic points, but are shaped like them).

Former House, again

I am invited to my aunt and uncle's house for a family get together. Their house happens to be one of our neighbors' house where I used to live. It is a dreamsign, but I miss it. Instead I think "this is really weird! My relatives just happen to have bought this very house."

I drive up on a scooter. No, not a motor scooter. A toy scooter. I lived here as a little kid, so it must be associative memory. Then we go in and look around the house. I think how ironic it is.

Tornado

I'm driving down the highway. I'm also walking down the highway. I'm also scooting down the highway on a piece of cloth. I run into a drawer by the side of the road, knocking it open (it's like the highway is lined with wooden filing cabinets). I think about leaving it open, but i'm afraid some distracted person might accidentally run into it and wreck. I make an illegal U-turn and go back. I can't find the drawer, but I do see some guy in a pickup truck pulling a huge trailer behind him. He is going about 4 mph, and what is more has to sit next to a huge piece of meat hanging from the ceiling of his truck. I laugh about this with some other guys standing by the highway. "If I were him," says one guy, "I'd get out and call a taxi!". The general idea is that his wife is making him do this.

Now I'm at work. My work looks a lot like my former school. It is blowing up a storm outside. The wind is getting worse and worse. I look out, and see the wind knock over a dumpster. then the dumpster is pounded to pieces by the wind. I see a few people laying around, and run down to help. Some people have already gone out and helped one guy, and I call for assistance as I rush out to what I thought was an old lady. When I get there, I find it was just a bunch of packages. Still, it is storming so i move them inside. One guy who came to help is annoyed, but I don't care because the packages are saved.

Opening the packages, I find an oil lamp that is also a heater. This will come in handy if we lose power. I set it on a table covered in straw, wondering if that is a safe thing to do.

Being an accountant (fragment)

Part of another much larger dream. We are sitting at a table in a class. The instructor asks what we think is the best thing about being an accountant. "The power!" I say.

I was looking after my little brothers golden retriever (he doesn't actually have one) over night, and I became convinced that the dog was possessed by Freddie Krueger and needed to die. While it was sitting on the couch, I took an ax and decapitated it with three blows. Then Aunt Elizabeth came over, and I tried to explain what happened without making myself sound crazy. Then Bryce came home, and I thought he would be sad, but he seemed not to care all that much, and I promised I'd but him a new dog once I got the money.

Last night I remembered three dreams but didn't record two of them (dammit) so I only have my most recent one to share.

I also almost DEILDed this morning but my dad made me talk -_-

Clubbing

Awake Non-lucid

I'm in my aunts car and she's taking me to pick up two of my cousins. Only one of them comes along. He looks surprisingly like my friend Sean, but younger. I shrug and go along with it, I haven't seen him in awhile. My aunt says we're going on a family holiday.

[Dream skip - Unknown] I'm in a hotel room or something. It's really big and open planned, but you can tell the different rooms from the shape of the walls. It's a dimly lit red area. I open my suitcase and groan. My aunt has only packed jeans and t-shirts. We're supposed to be going out! The only dress I have is the one I'm wearing. It's black and figure-hugging, and barely comes down to the bottom of my ass. I'm just glad i'm wearing black tights, along with strappy black platform heels. I can't remember the last time I was so glammed up!

"You didn't even pack me underwear!" I moan at her. She bites her lip and apologises.

"Sorry hunn, but I was busy packing the OUR stuff." She winks at my mum. I'm disgusted and decide to leave. She gives me a puzzle to do.

[Dream skip - a few minutes] My mum, aunt and cousin are already inside. I walk down a small hill to a brightly lit building. This holiday has been pants so far, so I plan to get smashed, I don't care if my family's there, they'll be wasted too. When I get inside, I sit by the bar. The guy fills a glass up with vodka and then whisks an egg into it and hands it to me. I've never seen that before but what the hell.

Suddenly I think this is a school trip. Where is everyone? I head outside, leaving my "vodka egg" at the bar. Up the hill, my english class is standing around. "Guys? Come on inside! Let's party!" I grab a few of my friends hands and pull them down the hill with me.

Kyle runs down with us. "I wanted to go in, but they didn't. It was MY idea." He pants.

I look him over, wondering if he thinks we're friends. "Yeah whatever, lets just go inside shall we?" Then we head in. Somehow all my friends have dyed their hair blond. I sit there, drinking my vodka (which I changed to lemonade instead of egg) playing around with their newly bleached locks, asking them questions about it. Then we head onto the dancefloor, except soon everyone moves to the side because some shitty pop group wants to play. I'm much more interested in the guy sitting beside me.

The dreamscene changes and I'm standing in my friends conservatory. Where's my dress gone? Now i'm wearing a crop top and low-rise jeans. I'm sick of looking like some kind of whore. I want my bootcuts and t-shirts back.

A blond, overally tan girl is standing watching me. She tells me she's going to be my personal trainer. I tell her I don't need one, but as I go to leave, she wraps measuring tape around my hips. Somehow it says my hips are 17 inches (which is probably impossible) and she tells me I need to lose an inch. She squeezes the tape down to 16, which really hurts.

She gets me to stretch a little bit, and asks what dancing I've done. "I've done dance-gymnastics" I say, but she just rolls her eyes. I'm starting to feel really heavy, I have to move slowly and can't run. So when she tries to get me to run and jump, it's really hard.

Then my dad shouted at me to wake up. I lay still but he wanted me to say something to make sure I was awake so I did. Meh.

Took some melatonin last night. Just 2mg on if. Had amazing dreaming this morning. I had a fantasticly long and vivid dream. Things i'm proud of that dream for is being able to know where i was sleeping while asleep. Being able to know what time i was supposed to wake up. And naming off all but one in my gaming collection. Anyway here are some fragments.

Lucidity-0
Vividness-5

Brother hands me a blunt. I don't take it right and he gets mad. I get it a little later and cops drive in front of us. They don't notice the blunt and just keep going to do something.

Lucidity-0
Vividness-5

A shark is attacking me. This is related to some sort of video game, but its like a nightmare. Sharks terrify me.

I'm in a video game world. Its a top down rpg i'm pretty sure of. Just general odd things happen. I don't remember much from it but it was crazy fun.

I wake up in my bed. I roll over and start thinking about things. Just random thoughts on what i have to do today, where i have to go, and general daily things. I remember to do a RC in case of FA. No this can't be. This is way too realistic. I get up and look over at the clock. It says its 9:30. I think, "It can't be 9:30, i set it for 7:00". I stare intently at it and the room goes black. I think oh crap i just left the dream. But then i bump into something in the room. I'm still in there.
I go to my laptop. I open it up, type in something i can't remember, and it takes me to funnyjunk.com. I look at some pictures thinking that dream funnyjunk would be great, but its just a bunch of reposted things that suck. I get off of it and walk out the room. I see my golf clubs. I see my moms boyfriend. I think this is a dream, i might as well hurt something while i'm here. I grab a golf club and hit him a few times. But he is a big guy and manages to pin me. Some stupid shit goes on about my ps3, talking about who can play it and stuff. I get let go and walk into my room.
I think why can't i use any powers. I look at the wall and think lightening with my hand extended. Nothing. I keep saying, if i know it will happen it will happen. Still nothing. I think maybe i need to charge myself with some sort of dream energy. I grab a small metal object, open up a wall socket, and stab the metal piece in there. I feel some shock, but nothing painful. I try blasting lightening again. But it still won't work. Damnit i say.

Me, A DC that i know is supposed to be a friend, and his girlfriend are in an unknown location. Someone comes up and hits his girlfriend. He confronts the person that hit her, but something stops him. Likely the army of people that are with the guy that hit her. I take his back and we start attacking. He grabs a firehose and tells me to touch the end. I grab the end for a second, and fire starts spewing from the hose. I then start to swing the hose around in circular paterns attacking everyone around me. I'm careful not to hit the girl or my friend. People just burnst into flame when it hits them. After a few seconds none of the enemies are left.

We are going home from the trip. A little kid is driving a very big monster truck as a toy. I think wow this has been an awesome dream. Then wake up due to my alarm that went off at 7:00.

Woke up a few times but didn't write down the dreams and no recall hours later. Posting here anyway to try to keep up the habit. Maybe one fragment now that I'm trying to recall:

Arguing with coworker about something work-related.

Good morning, everybody. I remember a fragment of a dream from last night. I know there was a lot more. I also know I had a kind of long dream later in the night. But my image memory has been kind of off lately, so I'm not retaining dreams as well as I'd like to.

Dream #1

I stood before a "beetle" that had a long horn, like the horn of a rhinoceros beetle (?) and a stinging tail like a scorpion's tail.

The beetle stood on something like a platform or table that maybe reached just above my navel in height. The table may have been lit from a small track-lighting beam in the ceiling, like in a museum. The rest of the room was dim.

The beetle was maybe about 10 or so cm tall and 30cm long, with its tail coiled up, not straightened out. In addition to the beetle having a scorpion's tail, something about the beetle's underside and leg positioning remind me of a horseshoe crab.

The beetle had a weird, green color, like an old, metallic Chinese vessel, except darker, almost pine green. The beetle itself may have been metallic.

The beetle was protecting an egg, possibly by standing before it, so that the egg was behind the beetle's scorpion tail. The egg looked like a white chicken's egg. But it may actually have contained a human being.

At some point the egg was no longer behind the beetle. It may have been near me or somehow in my possession. At another point, the beetle may have been climbing on the back of my neck.

(One side note, December 5th. I took a look on line to learn about scorpion eggs. Probably everybody in the world except for me knows this, but scorpions don't actually lay eggs.

Based on what I found on the internet, scorpions keep their eggs in their body. The babies are born live. The babies then often spend a short period maturing while living on their mother's back.

Sometimes scorpions do release their eggs. If they do, however, they often eat the eggs before they hatch.

So, interestingly, humans and scorpions have live birth in common. This might partly explain why the scorpion was protecting an egg with a human inside of it. And, I guess, the babies maturing on the mother's back might explain why the scorpion was climbing around on the back of my neck.)
