The man explained that the occasional sandwich was just fine, but too many would make you fat. He then went on to explain how fat works, noting that it was okay to have no fat and a small "layer" of fat about the stomach. Too many burgers, though, would make you much too big. The young one finally grasped this concept, and the dream ended.

Not really sure what was going on, but it seemed that I stumbled upon a semi-secret, underground cafe beneath my community college. Drinks were being served, and some people were logged on to their laptops. Dream Views came into play; I met up with the real-life version of an inactive but well-known member. I convinced her to join back up. The dream ended. _________________________ 06.01.2010Saving the Girl (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Pretty detailed dream. It started out as an online game. I was doing pretty okay, when I realized that the events of the game were literally happening. It seemed a girl near and dear to me had been taken prisoner. The only way to free her was to either finish the game or go get her in real life. She was being held captive by a wealthy Japanese samurai. Getting to him would not be an easy task, either, as I soon found out. I met up with a small crew of friends in Japan. One of them had a boat to cross this lake with. On the other side was my girl, and damn it all, I was going to get her back. The trip across the lake was very strange. We didn't move very fast, and these massive waves kept cropping up with this impenetrable fog. The hardest part was keeping the boat's nose steered into the waves, instead of alongside them. We also had to keep an eye out for logs in the water that could potentially sink us. All the while, I was playing the game. I was doing rather well, actually, and kept unravelling more plot. There was a giant wave that capsized us, and the dream ended.

Some silly little contraption where you drive your car on a track...it was very odd. _________________________ 01.01.2010Star Wars Parody Fragment (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Another frag dream. It was related to Star Wars and space war, but that's about all I remember. _________________________ 01.01.2010Trouble at Work (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID The first bit of the dream takes place on a scrubby hillside overlooking my place of work. There is a map laid out on the ground, and it looks like the boss is trying to decide what to do with the land around the car dealership. I noticed these two green pipes on the map, similar to Mario warp pipes. I asked what they were for, and nobody could answer. Drainage was the best guess. They said that the pipes would've been removed by now if they could've, but machinery couldn't reach them. The scene skips to inside the building. I am just barely on-time for work, and cannot find my co-worker. I found her standing around, shooting the breeze with a customer. The dream gets rather boring and mundane after this as I go about my normal work duties. The final part of the dream takes place at my co-worker's house. She's a bit of a stoner, and in my dream, she had a pool. My sister was there, along with a couple of "friends" I didn't know. One of them wanted to bang her, and I had no idea why. My sister was there for the sleepover, which we were apparently having. My co-worker led one of the young men upstairs to the bedroom and closed the door. My sister wanted to sleep upstairs outside the bedroom door, and I told her it wouldn't be such a great idea. She got all huffy, and the dream ended.

Ick. I didn't know what I was there for, and never found out, as the dream ended rather quickly. _________________________ 30.12.2009Classroom Panic Attack (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This dream had me spooked. In my books, this is damn close to a nightmare. The teacher had given us a big assignment, complete with three essays. Looking around the room, some people had some really great projects, which made me extremely nervous. I turned mine in, even though I knew it was a half-assed project. It wasn't fun. _________________________ 30.12.2009Storm Windows on the Central School (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Odd dream out of nowhere. Apparently, the local Central School had installed storm windows at some point and was using them on a regular basis to block out snow or something. I remembered in this dream that in a former dream, the school was having trouble with people knocking the windows out. There was snow and slush on the ground, and many different footprints. I contemplated how one would go about breaking the windows and leaving no trace, which would require eliminating the footprints. I speculated that a giant spatula would do the job. My family was with me, and toward the end of the dream, we started comparing footprints in the snow. Then the dream ended. _________________________ 30.12.2009Suck it, Slash! (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Short dream fragment. Basically, Slash came in and posted briefly in the World Record thread, saying how much he hated it and everyone in it. I told him to go screw himself.

I was working with one of my former Professors setting up tables for some unknown purpose. There were two or so to unfold, which we accomplished easily. Deciding where to put them was another matter entirely. We argued and grappled about where to place the tables, and ended up deciding on a couple of spots that made the most sense, save for one. Turns out, there was this sort of hole in the floor off to one side where the railing didn't quite reach. This gap led to a two-story plummet to the bottom. We set the table right next to this gap on a sort of narrow peninsula. It was cool. _________________________ 29.12.2009Working in a Coal Mine (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This was an interesting dream. I was working in the car dealership, as usual. It was a warm summer day, and amber light was streaming through the windows. One of my co-workers approached me and started casually shooting the breeze, and another one soon came and joined us. It was a slow day, and we were just yakking about nothing of particular interest. I remember running to the sink to get a drink of water...
Originally Posted by Mario92 28.12.2009Skiing and Other Randomness (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Fun and unusual dream. It was very long and very vivid. I started out riding the chairlift of this big mountain, prepping for some downhill skiing. Snow had fallen, but apparently quite randomly. The slope I was taking had a healthy layer at the top, but thinned to gravel at the bottom. There was a small path toward the side I would have to take to avoid the rocks. Well, I got to the top and started hurling down the mountainside. I wasn't the only one who had thought to take the path, as it had boot prints all over it. It looked like loose, deep snow; not ideal for skiing on. Somehow, I managed to keep gliding on top of the snow, making my way back to the lodge. The lodge was rather unusual. It was more like a set of cabins. There was a kitchen and dining room, small though they were. I spent a good deal of time hanging about the cabins. Turns out, I was also on this ski trip for academic reasons. Night had fallen and I was working about the kitchen when I noticed a baby alligator. He was about two feet long and rather nasty. I grabbed the bugger by the tail and dropped him in the garbage can. Earlier in the dream, we noticed the mother alligator crawling around. Now there was a baby one in the trash can. Well, I went about my duties and emptied out all the garbage cans. Later, I wanted to show someone else the gator, but it was out in the dumpster now. As I said before, I was on the trip for academic reasons, too. I had taken some sort of advanced English test. It was a relatively short test, though. I had gotten a 15/16 on the multiple choice, and an 11/20 on the essay portion. I wasn't too happy, but it seemed as though I passed, even if just barely. After a long day, I decided to boot up my laptop. I had stumbleupon installed, so I hit the stumble button. It took me to two pr0nz sites, which I promptly gave the thumbs up. Shortly after this, the dream ended. _________________________ 28.12.2009Night Club Fragment (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I don't remember a whole lot of this dream, but I do remember being in a night club with loud music for a small period of time. It may have also been a school dance. Hard to tell. _________________________ 28.12.2009Chaotic Driving (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Another short dream fragment. I dreamed that I was driving about residential neighborhoods in winter. The streets were narrow and slick, and I was driving at well over 35 mph. I was drifting about corners, feeling the wrath of little old ladies, and other fun stuff. I will remember to do more of this in my dreams... _________________________ 28.12.2009Dream Journal Critique Fragment (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Yet another fragment. I was online, updating my dream journal, when I noticed that someone posted a snippy comment about "cleaning it up" and "leaving out the boring crap." I told this dude to shove it. It may have been Loaf.

I think there was some sort of contest going on, and the videos had to be relatively short. I think the longest one was about 5 and a half minutes long.

I actually had two or three dreams in this setting, but for the sake of simplicity, I shall break them up. In the first one, I was locked in a battle to the death with these evil people in a game of Tetris. The bad guys kept using sneaky attacks and moves to get the upper hand, but a true Tetris pro like myself vanquished them with ease. It was fun. _________________________ 24.12.2009Working the Greenhouse (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I don't remember a whole lot about the second dream, except for the fact that there were a couple of my classmates there. They were mostly horsing around and making asses of themselves. We were working on some sort of project, and I finished early. The teacher told me to go wash my hands in one of the "clean" sinks. Many of the sinks and wash stations were pretty nasty, but I found a clean one and scrubbed up. I then passed the word on to my goofy classmates, who (of course) headed for the nearest sink of nastiness. _________________________ 24.12.2009Radio for Help (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Okay, freaky little dream. I was on a hike with my sister and father. We had packed a radio, just in case we should get lost. It was a good thing we had the radio after all. We didn't know how to use it, but we found some instructions printed on an old Lifeguard chair mounted on a cliff outlooking this distant beach. The scenery was beautiful. Anyway, I climbed up the chair for a better look and almost fell down the cliff in the process. I got the instructions, though, and fed them to my sis. She set the frequency and tried dialing the station. She was using much to quiet a voice, though. It was barely a whisper, and there was some heavy-duty static to overcome. I snatched the radio and gave it a shot in a big, booming voice. Still no response from the Ranger's station. The chair mentioned backup instructions, but I didn't remember what they were. I started heading back for the chair, and the dream ended. _________________________ 24.12.2009Death on the Beach (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Scary-ass dream here. I don't remember it so well now, but I do remember either being stranded on an island or escaping from an island. I really think it was the second one. I believe I was being hunted down with the intention of being shot, and I wanted no part of it. I reached the beach and felt the water; it was warm. I jumped right in and started swimming for my life. I did this sort of backfloat-feet kick-arm sway combo thing that actually worked really well. I was making good distance when a shot rang out. There was a splash nearby. I paddled faster and dove. Then the dream ended

I think, though, that the people in charge of GGW were trying to make the girls smarter. In addition, they shifted their stance from crude and poorly-done to classy and tasteful. I don't know how they went about it, but I do know that it failed miserably. _________________________ 23.12.2009The Car (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID That is the car I normally drive. In my dream, I was driving the same car, except it was a soft-top convertible. I think I was being chased by either a badass group of gangsters or the fuzz. I needed to make a quick stop at Target, but instead of going the normal way, I crashed through a forest and field and pulled up along the back of the store. It was beginning to sprinkle, so I put the top up. To my surprise, instead of doing that slow sort of unfolding maneuver that convertibles usually do, the top shot right into place. I was very impressed; so impressed, that I hit the little button on my keyfob a few more times. When I was done messing about, I went inside, where the dream promptly ended.
Originally Posted by Mario92 Sure. 22.12.200920 Years to Life (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Spooky-ass dream. I started out in this mansion-type place, where my ill grandmother was preparing to die. I was in Morocco, I guess, though it was more of an island setting. My grandma begged to die, pleaded with me that I shoot her. What else could I do? I pulled the trigger. The dream skipped to the streets of Morocco (which was a surprisingly small town), where I was vacationing with my familiy. We were touring the streets and all that. We were stopped at a traffic light. All of a sudden, a bunch of people came out and started painting the lights with candy. This one old lady was carrying caramel-dipped things that looked really good. She was offering to sell them. One of my obnoxious co-workers, who was also in Morocco apparently, bought one. I, too, got one. I had left my wallet back at the hotel room, and so could not pay properly. Instead, I pulled a fiver out of the big wad of cash I was keeping on me. The money was probably from the books I sold back in real life not too long ago. There was a bit more driving around with my father, almost missing stop lights and such. The dream skips to this tacky little room. It was all concrete, but the ceiling was painted in bright red checkerboards. There was a big dip toward the middle left of the ceiling, which appeared to be impossible to move. I had been served with my papers for murder. It was a thick packet, and I was waiting for someone to explain it to me. This one kid who had been serving for the past six years on a prisoner ship in the middle of the ocean was also there. He seemed to have certain psychic powers. When I asked why he did not run away, he said that the consequences of being caught would have been far worse. The dude in charge of my papers came in. He took me aside and explained what all the numbers meant. It looked like I would be serving the maximum sentence for murder (20 years), instead of the 6 years they had marked if I was good. They indicated that I was highly unlikely to get any sort of pardon or sentence cut. I, too, would be imprisoned on a ship. Now I was starting to panic. A risk analysis indicated that my life was over, and I should either a) kill myself, or b) escape. The scary man left, and my mother walked in. I told her the bad news, and she immediately started talking cost. How much would it cost to start a new life, all that. I told her that I didn't know, but suggested that it would be a good start to hop down to the airport and hop a flight on whatever plane was going out first. She said, "I don't know." There was a bit more grappling, and then the dream ended.

I think he was playing a pokemon game. I remember wondering where he kept getting the batteries for his game, but never got lucid off of it. So, I took out my gameboy and started playing my pokemon game. I wanted to battle the kid, so I started training. Too bad my team was utter crap. Yeah, needless to say, I lost the game. It was a short dream, really. _________________________ 21.12.2009Time-Stopping and Human Sacrafice (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Okay, this dream was cool. I was sitting around in a cave. These two strong guys approached me and started explaining stuff. Somewhere in the caves, a group of tribal wingnuts were preparing to sacrifice my sister. They gave me a couple of gun-like things. Each gun stopped time in a different way. I would have to use them to reach the crazy tribal people in time. I took off running in what I thought was the right direction. One of the guys grabbed the back of my shirt and told me there was a faster way. As I was hurling toward my sister down an icy slide, I thought it would be good to familiarize myself with my time-stopping weapons. I had stopped time once before, but there was apparently a better way to stop it. I switched out guns and fired the new one. All of time hung perfectly still, except for myself. I was stuck in one position on the slide. I could think and move a little bit, but my body was as frozen as the rest of the world. This purplish mist seemed to hang in front of everything. Then the effects wore off, the mist faded, and I resumed hurling down the slide. I touched bottom and immediately began sprinting. I could hear the tribal freaks chanting, and I saw one lift a knife above his head. My sister had been brainwashed, and did not struggle to get free. I fired my weapon once more, hoping to buy a little time. There was nothing more than a muted click, though. I swapped out weapons again, took aim, and fired. Then the dream ended.

Originally Posted by Mario92 19.12.2009Long California Warp Dream (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I started out on the last leg of a road trip. My sister and two of her friends were with me. We were on a road trip to California. We would be staying at several different mansions of sorts. Each of us would be chilling at a different mansion, and each one came equipped with a pool (which I never used). We would get from one house to another by warping, it seems. I never really remember travelling from one house to another, so I'm assuming warping. Each house held a rich family, which for the most part was stuck-up and snotty. There was this rich girl in every house, and each one was a complete brat. I preferred to chill with my sis and her friends. One day, we were at one of the mansions with the only nice person. She had a pool directly overlooking a beach. We were picking up hunks of foam and running up a ramp, trying to "surf" on the air. We got some pretty good glides going, but nothing that broke the record of Ayumi (who was apparently the rich girl's sister). After some experimenting, I calculated that she probably got lucky and hit a gust of wind at exactly the right moment. After a few more runs and glides, I took off. I decided to drive around with my sister for a while. Asking her if she still wanted to be a ballerina, she replied "not so much." I started suggesting new career ideas to her, and ultimately ended up taking her to a career match center. After a few guesses, they matched her with "computer programmer," which she loved the idea of. This big, plasma-screen TV that spanned the entire wall demonstrated some of what she would be doing. She found the idea thrilling, and instantly enrolled in several college courses. I told her that she would have to teach me some things, too. Then the stupid alarm clock went off and I woke up.
Originally Posted by Mario92 17.12.2009The Skybanner (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Wow, this was a really long dream. I was first sitting in college, listening to my Professor. We were due to have a test soon; this is my interpersonal professor. I remember stressing out for some reason, I don't know why. When class let out, I went over to my dad's car, where he was waiting in the driver's seat. I hopped in. Somehow, his car had shrunk some. It was a convertible in this dream, though hardly acted like it. When one side went down, the other went up. The frame was horribly warped, and it felt and looked very much like being in the cockpit of a helicopter. He took me home, where I promptly hopped on my laptop and booted up my flight simulator. A new model of aircraft had apparently been released; it was called the "Skybanner." It was similar to the Dragonfly, but far more awesome. I began a web quest to find the new plane, though turned up little. All I found were virus-riddled sites and nothing I was looking for. In the end, I searched till dawn, and found myself in the classroom, still searching on my computer. It was either test day or end-of-semester day, I don't quite remember which. I do remember the teacher being really pissed, though. When class let out around sunset, I again went over to my dad's car and climbed in. He was wearing a 7-piece suit, and it being summer, was dying a thousand deaths. He had this great idea, though; go to McDonalds, just for fun. We drove a short distance there and parked sort of near the drive-through. It was a big, wide-open sort of lane or alley, with only the building on one side. The other side opened into this great field. Suddenly, out of the sky comes this airplane. It was smaller, bordering on an ultra-light. It came down, touched the ground, and stopped faster than I've ever seen a plane stop before. The pilot tipped the nose up to expose the entire wing to the air, ultimately stopping the plane dead in its tracks. He hopped out, unscathed. The pilot was no more than 15 or so. His plane was sponsored, too. My dad got it in his head that it would be awesome to go through the McDonalds drive-through in a plane. He asked for a ride, and the boy agreed. The plane wasn't quite as graceful on the ground as it was in the air, it seemed. It shot forward and crashed into the building, almost shaking my dad loose. Instead of ordering, though, he leapt through the window and started chatting up the lady behind the counter. Still wearing his 7-piece suit, he bid the lady farewell and leapt back through the window. At this point, I thought I would die laughing. _________________________ 17.12.2009Universal Mind and Youtube Fragment (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Short dream, this one about Universal Mind. He had posted a video somewhere on the DV forums, and I was trying to download it. We agreed that the song/video was pretty awesome.
