8/16/10

I had a dream I was by a running track.. like ones that athletes use. I saw a famous athlete by the name of Ochocinco ( must have incorporated him in my dream after watching his show last night ). He was doing stretches along with some other people who were exercising and training.
I found myself trying to impress him so I attempted to do some back and front flips.. what was funny I don't know how to do those flips in real life and in my dream I knew I was not able too.. but I told myself I am going to do it...
So there I was walking pass ochocino.. he saw me looking at him and I bit my lip in a flirtatious way he was very tall..lol
So I walk pass and he glances at me smiling but continues on with his training as well as calling someone else over to him. I go on the opposite side of the fence and start doing stretches.. and I try to flip...
..what was funny is I found myself padding the pavement like a running dog.. but I was so determined to control my dream to flip.. I failed several times because it appeared as if I was on all fours hopping forward.. I was scared to flip.. but I told myself " I can do this!.." I run forward and ocho is passing by .. he pauses and I run forward and flip multiple times!!... lmao!! yes I did it and I felt the rush of happiness come over me.. it was not so much of ocho watching me but actually doing the flips!! ha!... he tells his friend.. oh you like that?..
Scene switches to a train station and ocho is there with his friend.. I was standing with them talking and flirting a bit.. but here is where something weird happen... I was talking to him.. but find myself not the girl talking to him.. weird.. it appears I switch roles and I am a different girl... hmmm..weird.
I had a huge tattoo on my right side.. went from my stomach to my thigh and I was showing it off ..
Scene switches and I get on this roller coaster ride.. it is dark out and I get right in it.
When it begins I notice the track the cart was on was a bit old and unstable.. the tracks were going very high and I barely was able to breathe when it would drop down.. the cart would slam onto some tree branches and I had to cover my face with my arms to prevent getting hurt by them..
..I got off the ride and told others to be careful .. that the ride was old and someone could get hurt.. people thanked me and didn't bother getting on...
Scene switches and I am on the phone with a friend who called me to go to the club with him... I couldnt remember most of the conversation but I remember looking at a huge lake and my house was on the other side of it.. I was wondering how I would get across... I saw this old train track and I figured I can skill across it and get home.. I get on this track and once again wondering why the hell I decided to get on it in the first place.. it is shaking underneath me waving with each step and I couldn't go backwards because I was just to far out on the track. There is movement under the water.. light grey creatures barely breaking the surface and I got nervous again.. I began to talk on the phone as a guide to take my mind off this journey.. even inquired about another friend who in real life I lost touch with..
..I finally get home and prepare for this party... my dad is in the living room asking me where I was going.. it was night time

That is all I could remember for I was awaken..

Yesterday I decided to learn how to lucid dream, so here's my first attempt at simply remembering my dreams. I'm actually surprised about how much I remembered, but I suppose it was because i was writing on a notepad through the night. I'm obviously no where near lucid dreaming, but here we go.

Falling asleep was really weird for me last night. I'd get very vivid images in my head before I was entirely asleep and I'd write some of them down, but others I'd just keep falling deeper into sleep, then a couple times I got those jerks that feel like you're falling. I know that has a name, but I can't think of what it is.

Here's a few dreams and fragments:
A drawn face that looked like the mad tv kid, on the front of an oregon trail style wagon.
Walking down a sidewalk on a very bright day, grass on both sides, that seemed to stretch forward forever.
I was on a boat, for some reason I think it was the titanic, with two people from when I was younger. One boy I was friends with when I was 15, and a girl that I went to kindergarten with and see on the bus, but never talk to. It was dark, except for a strong yellow light, almost like a light on a set.
My sixteen year old sister announced that she is legally able to drink alcohol. We had a lot of beer in the my parent's kitchen, and they were asleep. I thought, "ew, lager." she was chugging and i grabbed a bright yellow beer with the word lemon on it. I spilled it by the kitchen door, which was open.
I saw cartoon mice very briefly, reminiscent of old school disney.

This was the doozy for the night-
I dreamed I was visiting my aunt in Tacoma (who actually lives in Puyallup). My two sisters kept shifting- one minute I was with my 10 year old sister, next she was my 16 year old sister. We were trying to find something to do to pass time. We decided to go to a place called Tacoma Land, which was apparently a bunch of roller coasters over a swamp. Shift to my best friend's apt. It doesn't look anything like her actual place- it is carpeted and decorated with lots of mirrors, and is very clean. We're throwing a party, but I don't see anyone except my two best friends. The skunk that is always outside her place was wandering through the halls- it looked more like a black persian cat than a skunk but it was spraying like crazy. I'm at the table with my mom and a boy I went to high school with who made fun of me. My mom is drunk and he is being nice to me. Everyone except for him and myself went to another party downstairs. He says he thinks I'm cool, but that my mom is a profanity that i don't remember. i think he said bitch, maybe? I went behind a bunk bed to a random toilet to go to the bathroom. There's pee on the floor, and a girl tries to walk over, I tell her to leave, I'm using the bathroom. She was wearing navy blue clothes of a canvas-y material and either has short hair or it is in a ponytail. She is completely silent, and I think that she is a mime. I dodge the skunk and go to my own apartment upstairs. It's furnished similar to a hotel and I think that it was nice of the apartment manager to furnish it for me. I walk to my bedroom and there is a sliding door with a patio. I see tibetan prayer flags and walk outside. The grass is dead, and my yard has a perimeter of flags. These are triangular, not prayer flags, but they are the same color. There are a lot of neighbors outside the perimeter and they look, for lack of a better word, like hicks. I stand near them and stare but don't say anything and they don't say anything back. I try to pet one of their many dogs, but it walks away. I try to walk inside, but suddenly the neighbors are angry and chase me inside, the leader looked like annette benning. They trash my place, and open my mini fridge, which has lots of food, but the only thing i recognize is hummus. She is yelling at me for not introducing myself, she wraps her hand around my neck and puts me into a trance- i remember seeing a piece of paper explaining exactly what was happening to me, but I don't remember what it said except there was a pencil drawing of someone being choked. She jammed her leg between my legs and i fell to the ground and woke up.

I took a stand to Harpers and Flattery's governments and started being a 21st century female Robin Hood robbing or "borrowing from those who could afford it" from the rich to give to the poor people. The two goverments didn't have a clue what hit them and a number of questions 1) "Why and How are the poor, homeless, people getting homes?" 2) "Why are there less crimes than there were (not counting unreported crimes)?" They even tried to make me an outlaw but the Queen stopped them. Beside I was already a wiz at hiding in the trees.

I'm actually kind of glad I didn't go lucid last night. I probably would have done something other than go through this totally awesome dream I had. It was super vivid and realistic...I seriously felt like I was there. And honestly, I might have been just a tad bit aware that I was dreaming, due to the car thing...but I'll just tell you what happened now.

It was a pretty normal day...to begin with. I had one of my video jobs to do that day, and it required a team of people driving from place to place all day long. We had it all organized and figured out, though, so it wasn't stressful or anything; just another thing to have to do for the day.

The first three film locations were easy and went smoothly. I got all the footage I needed, and everybody did what they were supposed to and did it well. We stopped back at the hotel we were staying in for lunch and planned out the remainder of the day--still normal. But when we were about to leave again, I went to the bathroom and on my way out discovered that everyone had left without me! I gathered up all my equipment as fast as possible and tried to run after the car, but they were already way too far off to hear me call, and it was impossible to run while carrying all that stuff.

Fortunately, a friend was driving by just then and he stopped to ask if I needed a ride. I got in his car (which was unnaturally small, and which I observed without gaining full lucidity, if any) and he took me where I needed to go. However, once at this final location, things would go anything but as planned...

I caught up with my team by nightfall. They were gathered in a dark alley, all of them evidently very scared.

"What the heck was that!?" I shouted. "Why did you guys just leave me back there with all the..."

"SHHH!!!" They all replied desperately.

Then I saw what their problem was. A few feet away from me, out of the pitch blackness, a light turned on, and I heard the familiar sound of a Geth. Within moments, a million other similar lights turned on all around us, the same sound of communication echoed through the walls, and we knew we'd be dead in a few moments if we didn't get the heck out of there.

"Hey! In here!" I heard one of my team members shout.

We all turned around to see him at an elevator on the outside of one of the buildings. We got in as fast as was possible and rode it to the top floor, hoping to escape. But on our way up, we heard the chilling roar of a zombie, and soon witnessed several jumping down onto the glass roof of the elevator. Fortunately they were not too bright, and when they collided with it, they simply were thrown off from impact...but there were more where they came from.

We got to the roof and instantly looked for a door to get us inside and away from harm. We found one, but halfway there, I stopped everyone.

"No." I said. "We have to finish this!"

I clamped together the tripod legs on the camera I was carrying and tightened the camera itself so that it wouldn't budge from its position. It was a metal camera, and I figured it would make a great club.

"We can take them."

My friends got the point and hurriedly threw together some makeshift weapons. Then we waited. Before long, zombies and Geth and headcrabs and other such creatures began climbing up the side of the building and trying to attack us. With a loud war cry, I swung the camera and tripod through the air, doing a spin move, and landed the camera right on the head of a zombie. It was thrown back over the side of the building and burst into pieces when it hit the ground (it was probably an 80-story fall).

It was a huge battle. We had to stop each and every creature from climbing onto the roof, or if they made it all the way up, we had to knock them off the edge immediately. My group and I were doing well, but it was only a few of us against millions of them. Even with my camera-club (which was by far the best weapon we had) and crazy attack moves we were slowly being pushed back.

I hurled my whole body against an oncoming zombie and threw him over the edge. The effort made me stumble and land on my knees right on the edge of the building just as another zombie was reaching up to pull himself to the top. I remember his face...skin totally white and rotted from death. His hands and arms had no skin left, just a bloody mess of muscles and bones. As I sat and watched this monster approach me, I thought for sure he would grab me and throw me over the edge before I would have a chance to do anything about it. And then...

The Indiana Jones theme began to play as the man himself burst out of the door behind us and start pulling off awesome moves with his whip and gun. Shortly after that, Lara Croft, Luke Skywalker, and Jake Sully (in his Avatar) showed up, too! We had a chance now, and with my renewed hope, I grabbed the face of the zombie with my bare left hand, ignoring how disgusting it was, and then bashed it in with the butt of my tripod. The creature screamed and then fell, defeated.

After that, the fight was an easy victory. The last thing I remember is peering over the edge and looking at all the bodies in piles below...

and then I woke up. But here's a funny little sidenote: all the moves I did in the dream with the tripod I can now do IRL! Hmm...

I started off at AN. St. I was apparently going to school with KY and V. It was a snowy day, and we had just gotten off the bus. We decided to detour a bit so that we could miss a little bit of class.

When we got there, I was sitting beside KY on some wood-edged floor. Below me there seemed to be a marshy sort of creek. I was reading a book about ancient Egypt, and looking at all the pictures of the drawings. I saw some indents on the pages too, as if I had attempted to draw something but tried to erase it. Then, we looked out the window in front of us, where it was snowing, and we saw V leading two or three kids who were apparently his little siblings. I thought that he must have used that as an excuse to leave school.

Then I was with my friends in some sort of ballet studio. There was supposed to be a show, but I had never done this before, and no one had told me what to do. They told me to pick out a costume, and I thought about being a flower, but they said that I would just have to stand there and do nothing the whole time. I didn't want to do that. I also decided that I would use my black tutu and a purple top with white or black leggings.

I asked MA if she could tell me what to do in terms of the dance, and she started reciting the dance to me. Then there was one step where I was sitting and had to jump up with my hands in the air, but I couldn't do it. I told her that, and she seemed to get angry. She told me I couldn't do it.

The last part of my dream, I remember briefly being in a playground with my friends.

I was helping my family with cleaning. My dad was sitting in a golf cart and my stepsister was on a hill hosing down a wagon. She fliped the wagon and water flowed into the golfcart with my dad in it. Somehow.... my dad got out but the golf cart caught fire. The golfcart ended up on an interstate not pulled over... and turned into a car. I realized i was dreaming. it WAS NOT physical this time... and I woke up... maybe.

I could not move. I saw a little girl standing on the side of the bed that appeared to be a demon. I knew i was either in sleep paralysis or dreaming. I began to move a little bit and did a reality check by plugging my nose and trying to breathe in. I could still breathe. I began to try to wake up again... and after about 5 minutes of terrified struggling... i was awake for real.

No lucidity tonight, and a few pretty mundane dreams. But, I am relieved to see that my recall is better again, it was bad last week.

#1
I'm sitting at a table in a restaurant. There's a woman sitting beside me, and I have the impression that she cares about me. A man that I barely know sits across from us, he's the woman's friend, not mine. I look at the menu and realize that there's not much here that I can eat, although I don't know what the restrictions on my diet are. When the waitress comes I order a salad. The woman beside me acts concerned; she scolds the man for choosing this restaurant again, and asks if I want to go somewhere else where I can get more to eat, but I tell her I'm fine.
We're sitting near the kitchen so that I can hear the busboys. They're talking about something that had happened the night before, one of them mentions a knife and the other is concerned that he's going to lose his job, but I don't know exactly what they're talking about and then the dream dissolves and I wake up.

#2
I'm in a Chapters bookstore with a girl I used to know in high school named Carmen. We've been walking and drinking coffees, but mine is empty, and I walk towards the coffee shop in the store to take my cup back. At the back of the coffee shop, a woman in changing into a latex cat woman outfit for a performance. As I set my cup on the counter, I see a bag of food that no one has claimed yet, and I consider taking it, but in the end I don't.
As I walk back to where I left Carmen, I find another friend of mine who I don't see very often anymore, Jordy. She's standing by the entrance to the book store with some people that I don't know, but they don't talk. I talk with Jordy, and after a while a boy who used to make fun of us in high school walked by wearing huge glasses. Jordy laughs, but he says that he thinks they look awesome. I tell him he looks like George Jones, and Jordy laughs.
I leave her to go look for Carmen, but in the comic book section I find another old friend, Kirt. We look at the shelves for a while, I'm looking for a copy of Sandman. On the end shelf, we find a bunch of framed photographs from when we were young. Most of them are of kids that we went to public school with, that I'd mostly forgotten about. She picks up a picture of me that looks like it was taken when I was about 13. She says that it doesn't look like me, it must have been before I went all 'gothy.' I say that it was just a good phase between two periods of awkwardness.

#3
Honestly had a dream that lasted what felt like hours, about laying in bed and being frustrated that I couldn't get to sleep. I hadn't noticed the transition into sleep whatsoever, I was even still doing my mantra in the dream. When I woke up and realized it, it felt like a serious waste of dream time.

#4
I'm out in my backyard with my boyfriend Mark, and all my portfolios and binders from school are laying in the grass near the house. There is a woman further off in the yard, going through someone else's binders, stuffing pages into garbage bags, and putting what's left behind a tree. She comes over to start going through my things too, but I get angry, and tell her not to touch them.
Offended, she leaves.
Mark tells me that I'm being rude, that she's just a housekeeper trying to do her job, but I still don't want her touching my things, and I'm glad that she's gone. I pick up my things and lean them against the side of the house. We go inside.
We sit down on a couch in the basement. I try to crawl into his lap but I cant get settled and we both start laughing. For some reason I decide I'd be more comfortable outside again, and I yank open the window, but the way out is blocked by the portfolios I have stacked against the wall.

#5: the interesting one
I'm sitting in my basement with my dad when a huge, pale-but-colorful butterfly flies into the room. I watch it float around the ceiling for a while, and they it lands on the wall and I run upstairs for a camera. But when I get back down, the butterfly is gone. I go upstairs to look for it, and find my cat Tristan laying at the top of the stairs. I kneel down beside him, and ask him if he ate the butterfly. But then I notice that he has tiny wing nubs growing out of his shoulders between his fur. They're the same color as the butterfly was, and when they start growing bigger very slowly, they get the same pattern too. Shocked, I say "Tristan, you are the butterfly!" I start taking pictures of him.
My mom is standing at the kitchen counter, leaning over something, and when I look at her I see that there are wing nubs a lot like the cat's, but with no pattern, growing out of her shoulders and getting bigger. I start taking pictures of her and she gets mad. She starts yelling at me, and I dart back into the basement with my camera, where I'm alone.

At first the night seemed to be a bust. I woke up around 4AM and didn't recall much. Little did I know the night would turn out to be awesome! I went to sleep thinking of the imagery of trees and forests, still trying to incubate the dream for our classes' first task. As far as incubating dreams go, I'm not doing so well. but as far as turning lucid goes..

After I woke up at 4AM I decided to try to WILD. I was at the same point I normally get to, my heart was beating loudly, my eyes were flickering fast-- and then bam, interrupted again.

I decided to just go to sleep. I ended up having a dream where Alyssa, her dad and I were watching TV and there was nothing on. This was clearly daily residue from my activities of the day. I was so concentrated on trying to find the CNN channel, but her dad informed me that it was a hard channel to find, and only showed up sometimes. I also remember seeing a selection of 6 PSP ads, selecting one, and the group of us laughing because the ad was exactly 1 second in length.

I woke up. 6 AM or so. The next dream I would have would be key to obtaining my lucidity, however I didn't recall it until after the second dream. However, for the simplicity of following the dreams..

I was in my room at my Dad's smoking a Joint with my friend Mo. I don't know why, but I remember I had a keyboard with a keyboard on it. That is, a musical keyboard with a QWERTY keyboard on it. I ended up throwing it under my bed and my bed frame hit some keys. It was then that I realized the keyboard was playing music from my collection. It was entirely bizarre. I remember hitting specific keys, it would play a random song from a specific band assigned to that key. It was then that the doorbell rang. As usual, I ignored it because I wasn't expecting anyone. It persisted. I went out into the hall only to see my old friend Josh breaking into my house and bringing 6-7 people in with him. One of the people had started walking up the stairs with a bong and I remember freaking out saying he couldn't smoke pot upstairs (though I failed to realize I just was) and he had to go downstairs if he wanted to do that. They eventually all gathered around the kitchen table and I threatened to call the police. I dialed #11 by mistake and they all laughed. Upon dialing 911, there was no response, only several beeps that confused me. This clued me in to the strangeness of the scenario.

It was then I had a false awakening.

I looked at my hands. What the hell was wrong with them?! I'm dreaming. Things were kind of fuzzy. I decided I should try and stabilize the dream. I looked around trying to take in details. I picked up an ornament to the left of me and felt it. The hard stone was so realistic. I started shouting out that I wanted to see my dream guide, but nothing happened. Alyssa ended up walking downstairs. At first, I was having trouble moving. I still need to work on controlling my dream body better, I have issues with turning my head. After that was fixed, I looked at Alyssa and she told me "You complete me!". I didn't reply. I said lets go for a walk. "why not," she said "seems like a good thing to do while dreaming". As we were walking towards the door outside I said "I'm not going to put on shoes, I don't need them, I can summon fireballs!". "That's a good reason to not wear shoes.". When we got outside, it really clicked. I could summon fireballs. And I did such. I shot off 2 or 3 small fireballs from each hand one after another. It was this action that made me think if I could shoot a fireball, why not bring it a step further and try and shoot a hadouken? I shouted "When I go around this corner, I want to see Dhalsim!". I was intent on playing street fighter for real in my dream. Sadly, I had a FA. when I opened my eyes, I saw an intense image of bright light; it was Jesus playing guitar, but he was shining like a reflection and looked like church stained glass! It was almost cliche, but the guitar sounded amazing. I realized I was laying down and I needed to try and stabilize the dream again. I picked up the rock once more and rubbed it on my cheek, and then I licked it. It tasted just like a rock would. Plain and earthy. I wanted to experiment more with taste, so of course, I said "when I look under the bed, I'll find a plate of nachoes!" no sooner than when I grabbed the plate, Alyssa jumped on the bed in real life, causing me to wake up for real. I scrambled to write everything down in my DJ.

After the Lucid I fell asleep again, recalling the first dream I already had. I had a FA and told Alyssa I remembered how my lucid started, and she informed me she already knew. This confused me since I had just woken up and there was no way she would know. I looked out the window and the world looked strange.. by the time I realized I was dreaming, I was already opening my eyes. I kicked myself for not becoming lucid again, but was still happy with the previous experience.

Looking forward to more Lucids in the future!

Only remember one dream from tonight. Alyssa and I were watching porn together in her basement. Eventually, her dad came home (who apparently was Bruce Willis), and he started screaming that his daughter better not be pregnant.

Missed Dream Signs:

-Bruce Willis.

This man called me on my cell phone and told me he wanted to hire me to shoot a commercial for him, I was excited and accepted thankfully. He said he would pay me $1500. Instantly I thought about bringing Dan and Rob on to help with audio and such. Since I was deploying this job would be a great and productive time killer until then. I thought about what else to ask the man and finally he went totally silent, I tried to talk to him but he was gone. I remember he was very concerned about the things in his expensive mansion.

I was in this dimly lit room and somehow I acquired this strange object, I didn't know what it was, but when I unfolded it I realized it was a large desk fan that was pinkish and very nice looking. I used it to cool my computer, it wouldn't fit inside the case so I had to just set it under my computer desk. I felt the rush of air it created. I was on the 2nd level of a building.

I've had LDs before but they weren't often and all I would do was fly and wake up.

So this one was more fun. It all started with the regular sleep paralysis. Instead of snapping myself out of it, I just let it go till I was dreaming. So here I am in my dream laying on my bed. I get up but have some trouble, for example I couldn't open my left eye. But I just continued and didn't pay attention to it, so eventually it was opened. So I wanted to go wake my mom up to see if we could share a dream (it doesn't work that way...) So I figured, no reason to open my bedroom door, I tried to walk right through it and bam I slammed my face into the door and didn't make it through. So I i thought again and this time opted to open the door. My mother's room was straight down the hallway, so I thought if I get a running start I would make it through the door, so here I go running and BAM. Another face to the door. I think damn I gotta get better at this. So I open her door, walk in and wake her up. She stares at me w/o saying anything, she has this look of why the hell did you wake me up? I think quickly errrr we're out of toilet paper. she doesn't say anything so I think, damn just a DC. So I get on my way. I go downstairs but this time instead of using the chairs, I just flow thru the floor into the ground floor. I walk out and instead of walking out into the neighborhood I currently live in, I walked into a town I lived in that is 1000 miles away. there are two small trees and it's snowing. things get blurry and I wake up.

Now things get more fun, because I go into SP again, and into Lucid dreaming again. I flow thru the floor into the ground floor again and out the door. Once again I'm in the town that is 1000 miles away that I used to live in. outside the door from my previous home. This time it's sunny out, and I feel the warmth of the sun on my face. things get really vivid, everything looks great except I need to keep a lot of focus to keep it all vivid. Next idk how but I end up travelling to my college in Ithaca, NY. I visualize a castle I actually live in there, this is a picture of it:



So I think, hey the roof is fun, let me fly up there. I flew there, and from the roof I see some friends downstairs. I think, yes shared dreaming, I fly down and talk to them, let them know it's just a dream and prove it by levitating. But they didn't say much so I think they were just DCs. But in the distance we see some "bad guys" or idk what they were but we got the urge to chase them. I start chasing them when I see a dirt-bike motorcycle. Hey that would help me catch them, so I jump on it and as I'm riding I think it would be even more fun if this motorcycle could fly. So it does. I chase the bad guy who makes a right turn, and in the air I cut across and do a maneuver where I hit the guy in the head with the back tire of the motorcycle. I get off the big, run up to him and punch him in the face. Pull his mask off, for some reason now he had a mask, and the guy is passed out or dead. I get up mission accomplished, and unfortunately wake up.

8.16.10 dream #5

this is my 5th dream posted from last night and i have saved the best, longest, most interesting, and most insane dream for last. It was incredibly wrong and i hope i don't leave out too much. I will do my best.

I am on a huge world. It is not earth. It is a fantasy world and i am in a little army that is part of a fantasy adventure. It is a massive quest so vital that, the fate of the world (don't know what it is called), could be decided on it. While i am also a soldier in the small army, i also observe the story from two other points of view. They are from the points of view of two main characters. The two good guys, they are best friends and they are both fighting to save the world. Other people that i remember in the army with me are my brother (wow, hes in almost every single one of my dreams!) and one of my best friends. It is almost like my brother and I are messengers between the two main characters. They are not together and they are both in charge of a different part of the mission. since i remember frequently seeing both of them i am now deducing that i was some kind of messenger. Getting back and forth could be difficult sometimes and I have one distinct memory of having to climb through a a lot of barbed wire to get up a staircase. We had to eventually ask one of the local aliens to help. He brought out a flame thrower and melted the barbed wire away.

Often times i remember climbing along the edge of a cliff with a vast ocean below. There was also one scene when we were flying over a forest and eventually landing in front of a massive wood building. I don't remember the objective there or what we ended up doing but that flight was very memorable. Perhaps one of the most memorable scenes was near the end. I was with the rest of the army and one of the two leaders. We were about to reconnect with the second leader and if we succeeded, we would save the world. We were in a large room with and the door leaving was locked. No one could get it open so we started looking around the room. Eventually we all started hearing voices telling us each individually what to do. Whoever was talking to us sure did wreak some havoc. Everyone started to point their guns at each other and shout. The voice was telling us that we had to kill everyone else to survive. I quickly made my way to the leader and said that we couldn't possibly kill each other. We had to work together and all that the voice was doing was trying to get us all killed. I shouted at everyone to stop and think about how we could get out without killing each other. my best friend had his gun pointed at me! I begged them all to see my reasoning and think about escaping logically. Eventually when they all listened to me and put down their guns the door opened. We had passed the test.

I then remember making my way out to the edge of the cliff and standing with my friend and brother. The two leaders were reunited and the world was saved. The last thing i remember was them embracing like the best friends in the world.

While i remembered a lot from this dream there are still some questions that certainly need answers. some of these questions are:
was i really a messenger?
Where was this world?
Who exactly were those two leaders?
What were we saving the world from?
How exactly did we succeed in saving the world?
who was the voice in the room?

I will probably never get the answers to these puzzle-solving questions but it was still a pretty memorable and, in my opinion, epic dream.

8.16.10 dream #4

I'm in school, going to my gym class with my brother. we have the same class which is unusual since he is two years older than me. We go and talk to the gym coach. The coach quickly tells us that we are going to be playing a game in class today and we can go as soon as everyone gets changed. Along with the rest of my male classmates, I make my way to the boys' locker rooms. We have to climb up a long, winding, spiral staircase to get there and when we finally do get there. I am shocked. The locker rooms are massive. people start to change immediately while i explore a little bit around the locker rooms and eventually change. After we are all done in the massive locker rooms we leave through a back door into the gym (so we don't have to walk all the way down those stairs again). I don't remember a lot of details about the game and the teacher isn't someone i recognize from real life. We play the game until the end of class. The last thing i remember from my dream is walking down the staircase with my brother saying "that wasn't a bad gym class"

8.16.10 dream #3

I'm in high school and it will be starting in about 2 weeks. I think this makes the "first day of school" dream quite often. This time i'm not at school, but sitting on the corner of my street. I'm talking to this girl (rather attractive girl) about what classes she has. I'm hoping that we will be in some of the same classes. I tell her all the classes I have and if i can remember correctly we have 1 class together! I think that i was waiting on the corner for the bus, but i can't remember if it ever came.

This is my least exciting and shortest dream of the night. Almost definitely missing large sections but this fragment is all that i could remember.

8.16.10 dream #2

I don't remember how this dream happened. the first thing i remember was standing on a soccer field. A soccer field that i train on regularly in the waking world. My coach is there and nothing really seems different about her, wait a second! in the dream she isn't a she. It's a man. This comes as a bit of a surprise, but not enough to make me think about becoming lucid :'( I'm there with my brother, and the rest of our soccer team. My mom has also come along to watch even though in real life, this would never be allowed by my woman coach. This new man version doesn't seem to mind. The coach starts setting up cones for us to run suicides. I HATE suicides. We get ready and then we run. On the very first one i am crossing the final line when the man says "TIME" and i consider this a 'make'. My brother does the same. Of course my coach disagrees and tells us that we are cheating. My mom intervenes and starts shouting at the man as loud as possible and eventually the coach runs away. I thought this was a pretty funny ending to my dream and i can't remember if anything happened after wards.
