      I think I had a short LD in which I was flying(either forward or downward) really super fast.



      4 People 1 Bike

      I was at my house one afternoon when three of my friends showed up, including one of them that I don't like too much, wanting me to take them to the store. I was sick of taking them to the store because they always wanted a ride from me and I felt like a taxi driver. I agreed to go anyway, but only because I wanted to get some ice cream cones from the store. We went outside on the driveway and sitting there was a red bicycle. We decided to take that to the store. I sat on the seat while one of my friends stood on the metal things in back(i don't know what they are called..). Somehow, my two other friends managed to squeeze on the bike also. I was nervous when I took off because the bike felt really wobbly. When I went down the bump in my driveway, everyone fell off. I thought that they would want to give up, but they just got right back on the bike and I started peddling down the road. On the way, there was this random kid who stopped and wanted to take our picture. I wanted him to take it because I thought that it was amazing how we could fit so many people on that little bike and I wanted to remember the epic journey. I'm not sure if he actually took it or not, but shortly after that my friends started getting off the bike for some reason and were walking instead. This made me angry because I wanted to continue our epic 4 person 1 bike quest. I don't think we ever made it to the store...


      The Party is Over, Kesha


      Me and my friend were at a library(not my usual one, some other one that was next to some other stores). I was looking for a certain book when out of nowhere, Kesha the singer showed up and started singing "Tik Tok." I got really annoyed because all I wanted to do was find my book and get out of there, but this stupid ***** was in my way(haha, yes, I really did feel that way..) So I started singing along to her song, but I changed the lyrics to something like "you are really annoying and shouldn't be singing in the library!" It was something like that, but it sounded really good the way I sang it along with her music. I was really proud of myself. That made her leave, which I was happy about. Then I remember going outside to the parking lot. There were tons cops and then my dad showed up, driving like a maniac. I was scared that he would get pulled over for reckless driving, but the cops didn't seem to care.

      Fragments

      I remember being on some crazy roller coaster ride. I had to go into the back seat because the other seats were either taken or broken. When it started, it kept flinging me off and I would somehow have to get back on.. it was really scary. I don't remember much about it.

      I also remember something about jumping into a pool and sinking to the bottom curled up in a ball. When I reached the bottom I didn't feel like moving so I just kind of stayed there...


      Friend's house Lucid

      I was at Dani's house on a bright summer day.
      I looked down at my hands and realized that I was lucid. I had 6 fingers on each hand. I decided to go outside and attempt to fly, so I went out through her garage and stood on her driveway, attempting to jump up and fly.


      Other Lucid


      I also had another lucid in which I was outside and I saw this girl and followed her up a hill.. I don't feel like adding more details.... it wasn't a sexual dream, I just don't want to share it.

      Well, I got back from up north monday. I stayed home sick today and had another lucid dream. I have been having tons of DILDs lately! I think it is because I'm reality checking so much and constantly trying to think of lucid dreaming and stuff. I'll post some of the entries from my journal on the next few entries.

      For the last half a month or so, I have been waking up early and attempting to WILD. Each time I have failed, but this time I got a DILD at 5a.m. (I attempted a WILD at 4am and fell right asleep). I don't have time right now to list all the dreams I had last night, so I'll just list the lucid one for now.

      I was in chemistry class and we were doing a lab. My lab partner was this new girl in my class, who was really annoying and tried to act all cool by doing stupid stuff.. we had to staple a packet of papers together so I got this weird yellow small stapler and stapled them together and the girl said something stupid.. i dont remember what. Then she was like "I can do whatever I want, I'm in a lucid dream." and that got me thinking and I realized "Hey, Im dreaming!" So I did some deam spinning to prevent losing it, which worked for a little while. Since we were in a huge tall building for some reason, I went to one of the wall-length windows in another room and wanted to try flying. I tried to jump through the windows but they were angled weird, like sloped towards me. Each time I jumped, I would bounce right back. So I decided to try to just jump straight up through the ceiling and out the top of the building. I don't think that worked.. I ended up waking up shortly after that.

      I don't remember much to this dream.. it was really random though..


      The Outside Inside Playground Factory

      I had a job at a playground factory thingy. It was outdoors and you had to sort, or inspect, sticks or something that were going down the slide.. I was assigned to work on this slide with like 4 people, all of whom I didn't get along with very well. I wanted them to split up so that there would be two people working at a slide so we could get the work done faster. Then I went to the main part of the cave(we were apparently inside a cave.. working outside... yea..) and these workers told us that they were going to blow the whole thing up. Someone had to go and tell the other people to get out and I didn't want to do it so this other random worker guy went back.


      Girl In Tree

      Then there was another dream where I was trying to buy a birthday present for my friend but I didn't know what to get her so I went in the candy isle.. then she appeared in a tree... or something weird like that..


      Also I had a false awakening. I set my alarm clock for 4am so that I could attempt a WILD, and I had a dream that I got up to go to the bathroom.. Later when I woke up for real I wondered why I still had to pee...

      I tried so hard to have a WBTB LD. I got up around 6am and went on DV for awhile, then tried to go back and LD but after like half an hour I gave up because my pets wouldn't stop making noise.


      Fragments:
      girls house-in trouble? tried to help her i think..
      strict parents, dad w/shotgun
      Friend named Monica there
      I remember when the mom came in, I tried to hide first in the ceiling, then when she looked up I would fly down low by the carpet, she eventually saw me.
      ran outside-line of people by a beach, dad with shotgun
      we stood there, dodging bullets and made it alive

      Sex Orgy, Rebel Child, Aspiring Gymnast

      I was in my house and my dad came home from someone. He looked on the window sliding door and posted on there was our internet browsing history. He saw that someone had visited a porn website that was for funny sex videos. Immediately, he turned to me and said "So, you like watching funny sex." I denied it, but he didn't believe me. I looked in the living room and saw my sister feeling up some other girls on the couch. "You think I'm the one looking at porn? XXXXX(sister's name) is the one having a sex orgy on the couch!" I said back to him. I got mad and stormed out with a friend. We went to a makeup store and went up to this shelf that had like 8 bowls with different colored powder in them, it was some type of makeup. I felt rebellious so I grabbed a handful of the powder makeup stuff and threw it in the air. Me and my friend then had a powder fight and a lady came up to us and tried us to get us to stop, but I didn't listen. After the makeup fight, we drove in my car to a gymnastics building, which is where I used to go in RL. I knew my parents would never look for my car there since I haven't been there in years. I went into the building and wanted to do some flips on the spring floor. I knew I was out of shape but I missed the old days when I was super flexible, so I decided to try some flips. I got a running start, and tried to do a cartwheel to back hand spring, but ended up falling down. I wanted to continue trying, but the gym kept getting more and more crowded. Some girls from my school from the gymnastics team where training there, and their coach told them to put something into their scrapbooks... They each had weird scrapbook things with their picture on them. I sat in a circle with them and they convinced me to join the team. So as we started practicing, something happened, I don't remember exactly what, but I ended up breaking my leg. They put me in a black walking cast and carried me outside. Out of nowhere, there was snow on the ground, and the next thing I know, I'm cross country skiing around this small rink type thingy, even will my broken leg... and I kept seeing a bunch of spiders that scared me... yea.... thats all I remember.

      So last night I went to bed at 7:30, which is SUPER early for me. I wanted to experiment and see if going to bed early has a positive effect. Also, I wanted to try a WILD, which failed... But I felt a lot better today, more refreshed.. since I have to get up at 6 a.m. every morning to get ready for school. Anyway, I had TONS of dreams, so that was another positive effect, even though none of them were lucid and one of them was very depressing...


      The Hurricane

      Me and my parents were at Noah's Ark.. I think... and we were by the wave pool, which eventually turned into a beach.. The wave pool was empty because it was too cold to swim(what was the point in going?). It started to rain... and I got scared that it was going to start hailing because in RL I had recently watched a video of an intense hailstorm in Okalahoma(its all over the news right now). And of course, it did start to hail. We tried to run to shelter but my legs just refused to move for some reason. Me and my dad were left outside and hail was pouring from the sky. Then it got windy, super windy, like a hurricane. I grabbed onto a red handle thing sticking out of the beach and my dad found another handle to hold onto while my mom was watching from the shelter. The hurricane came through, but it was more like a tornado. There was no huge waves, just rain and gusts of wind. Then me and my dad were swept off our feet, being pulled into the air. We hung on for dear life, until the storm finally came to an end. I wanted to see where the red handles came from, so I pulled at one of them and a huge red wagon filled with logs or something came out. It was really random but I didn't seem to thinks so. The next thing I remember, I was on a different, smaller beach with my friend. I wanted to live there for some reason, and be like Chris McCandless from Into the Wild(a book I recently read for school) and live off the land. I told my friend that we should start digging holes in the beach to put wagons in, in case of another storm(really random..). But she pointed to a branch or something and said "are you sure you want to live here?" and she laughed and pointed. The branch was in the shape of some ancient guy with his legs open spread eagle(again.. what the hell?). I decided not to live there...


      Marble Blast Gold Tubes Fragment

      Me and my friends were climbing through tubes.. kind of like girble tubes. I came to this red tube, but in order to get up it, you had to jump up and them get Super Jump and quickly click the mouse like in the computer game Marble Blast Gold. It was difficult but I did it. There was more to this dream but I don't remember any more.


      Cigarette Bus Girl

      I was on the bus on the way home from school when this bigger girl with blond hair that looked like someone from my school sat down next to me. The bus driver said something about how we can't have cigarettes on the bus.. The girl pulled out this blue crayon thing that looked kind of like a cigarette and started laughing. I got really mad at her and pulled it out of her hand, but she then pulled out a whole bag full of cigarette crayon stick thingies. I was super mad now, and looked at the bus driver to see if he was going to do anything. But he just looked at us and said "this is fun! I never get to do anything like this at work!" and pulled out this score board.. I don't know what was on it..


      Six Flags


      Me and my sister planned to go to six flags. Next thing I know, I am at Six Flags with some of my friends. It looks like it is half indoors, half outdoors. It was saturday and time was running out, we could only stay for 2 more hours. My friend told me to meet her by the Raging Bull while I went to change into my swimsuit(who knows why.. its a rollercoaster..). So I went to this building, which was halfway underground.. and changed in this wooded locker room. There I saw a bunch of people from my Spanish class there changing. I didn't want them to see me so I hurried up and got out of there. When I went back upstairs, I saw a tour guide(yes, a tour guide..) standing there talking to some little kids. She told them to go in the middle of the park where all the smaller rides were. Then she started picking out shoes for other people to try on, like in a shoe store. I went up to her and asked her were this ride was, even though I really already knew. She looked annoyed and said "i dont know." this made me angy because she WORKS there, she should know where the ride is. I went back to where I thought the ride was, but instead found this water ride that had some Asian name that started with an A. There were a bunch of Asians on it, I thought it was because of the Asian ride name. I decided to go on it with my dad(i dont know where he came from). It was a slide type thingy, kind of fun. When I slid off the slide, I fell like 7 feet until I dove into the pool. I worked my way to the surface and tried to swim to the side to climb out, but there was a bunch of white fat people in my way. I eventually got out though. Then I was at home with my parents and sister.. I told her we should go tomorrow since I was only there for 2 hours. I asked my dad to come but he said something like "Sorry, I'm a new driver.." which is really really weird.... So anyway, I found this Oreo Stuffer in the closet and started eating it, then looked at the back and it said 2 of those huge things only had 75 calories in them. I was in a t-shirt and a ponytail. My mom then came by me and said "you don't look like a lady!" and I felt bad for not looking nice, which is weird because I never really dress up in real life, and neither does my mom. Thats all I remember.


      Friends Dying and Me Crying

      I was in my garage, and about to get into this red sports car and drive my ex- boyfriend and his girlfriend home. I was angry that he picked her over me(in RL it didn't happen that way, and I could care less about him...). We got into the car, and I was super angry so I stepped on the accelerator in reverse and backed out of the driveway with lightening speed. I couldnt slow down, so we went backwards really fast. I turned the wheel and pressed the break, and the car turned in circles and landed on my neighbors yard. We all got out of the car, unharmed, and I picked up the car and put it back on the street. My mom and dad came running out to see what happened, then she pushed the car back into the garage(must have been a light car) and we followed her. She then started picking up wax that fell off the car and started making a plate holder with it(SUPER random!). I didn't seem to notice how weird this was. All I could think about was how my friend, Aub was dead, and how my other friend, Dani had just died. I couldnt take it anymore and started to cry. I told my friends "you'll never see me again!(because I had so much grief)" and went into the house crying hysterically. I knelt down in the kitchen, crying on the floor. Then I woke up...

      Finally had some lucid dreams! I don't really feel like explaining them now so I'm just going to be brief.


      Spanish Class in the Mall Lucid


      In the first one, I was about to return to my eighth hour class. To get there, I remembered my teacher taking me there through a mall last time we went there. So I went into the mall but I couldn't remember which way to go. Then I asked this girl from my class and she said "just keep going that way down the street." She didn't say anything about the mall and I was confused. Then I realized that there was no way you could walk through a mall to get to my class so I knew I was dreaming. I returned to the mall for a brief time before waking up.


      Short WBTB

      In the second one, I was so happy about achieving an LD that I decided to try again. I got up at 6am the next day to go to the bathroom, then returned to try a WBTB. It worked. I was in this house.. and I don't really know how to- or want to- describe it. Then I was flying around being Elsia for awhile but decided to do something else. I appeared in Criss Angel's room. It was a really long dream in which I was going in and out of the LD and waking life.

      Yeah... so those were my brief descriptions.

      Mental Institution


      I was in a small mental institution, about the size of a house. I'm not sure if I was the crazy one or if I was just visiting... Anway, there was a crack in the wall where one of the people there escaped. To prevent anyone else from escaping, someone had to hold up a wall phone to cover the hole. Me and someone else.. don't remember who.. escaped. We noticed a brown, rusty old-style car parked on the street outside Rachel's house. A police-looking man got out and started walking towards us. He thought we were escapees from the institution. We tried to tell him that we didn't belong to the place but he didn't believe us so we took him and shoved him through the crack in the wall into the loony bin(lol). Then we packed it with snow and somehow got it to stay. Someone told me that I had to steel his car because it was the fastest way to get away from the cop, so I as I ran to the car, I heard the cop trying to dig his way through the snow and knock down the door thingy. So I got in the car with the people(I think there were two people..). except there was no windows on the car and it was like a two-door. We packed in the car and the girl(I think it was the girl..) told me to hurry up but I took my time to put on the seatbelt, which was huge and covered the whole front of the car. Then I started driving off up the hill and Katelyn(I don't know how she came to be with us) acted like she was jealous that I could drive and she couldnt... The next thing I remember was being inside my house with my ex-boyfriend. He was playing with some cups on the table and acted like he wanted to have me back again. I remembered he had a girlfriend and didn't try anything with him. He looked through a bunch of my papers that had something like journal entries on it and I got mad at him but didn't tell him to stop. Then I got all panicky and realized that someone should be holding up the phone on the wall so that none of the patients escape the institution.. The next thing I remember was being in a room with each of the mental patients. They pulled out five things from the hat that were supposed to help them recover.. or something like that. Then I(or maybe someone else.. I dont remember) gave them each a book, and on the last page was some writing that they wrote, which was like magic because they couldn't actually write and didn't write anything in the book. I remember one of the girls reading hers aloud, her voice sounded kind of messed up and I knew she couldn't have written it. It was supposed to help them get better or something...
      ya.....


      Lake eBay

      Then there was this lake that people were paying money and then diving into to get the item that they paid for.. kind of like eBay.. this one guy bought a bronze coin for 3 million dollars and dove down into the lake to get it, and when he came up he was extremely happy because it was a rare coin...

      Road Trip

      Me and Brittany planned to drive up north to my parent's cabin for the first time(which I am planning to do in RL). We got on the freeway and headed north. A while later, the freeway turned into water and we were no longer in a car, but floating in the water, still going north. I was floating on a door or a piece of plastic or something.. and brittany was floating in a tube I think. Out of nowhere, we saw two pairs of human feet sticking up above the water. One pair had brown leather shoes and I'm not sure about the other one. I went to go investigate and tipped over the feet and saw that they were dead bodies floating upside down. I pulled both of the dead bodies on my boat. I saw another boat and asked them to take the bodies but they wouldnt. I don't remember what we did with the bodies, but after that we headed back to my house. I told my dad what happened while he was lying in his water bed. After that, I wanted to quickly leave and get our road trip started again, so I rushed out into the garage, but noticed it was filled with water. I put on some boots and jumped in this tiny green boat. Before I started it, I realized that I should probably pack some stuff for the trip. So I jumped back out of the boat and landed in water that almost went up past my boots. I ran back into the house and quickely grabbed a few shirts and things and put two life vests in the boat in case of another accident or in case we were pulled over by the cops(I remembered the rule that every boat needs enough life vests for everyone on board). Then I woke up.


      Fashion Show

      I was creating clothes for my fashion show(I think I got the idea from watching an episode of The City, where Whitney finally set up her first fashion show). I needed 20 outfits to show off in the show but my designers only had 16 made. I asked them if they could make 4 more before the show the next day, but it was too late. Before I knew it, we were at the show. There was a model walking down the catwalk already and she had a nervous look on her face like she new we weren't ready. Apparently we arrived late to the show. I rushed backstage and got everybody ready. Some models wore fancy looking outfits, while others wore just a plain sweatshirt and shorts. I was stressing out because I needed everything to be perfect to impress my boss.
      I woke up before the show started...

      The Tornado


      I was outside of my house and I saw a miniature tornado at the corner of my street. It was like a small dust tornado type thing, so I decided to go take a look at it. But as I got closer, it started to pull me in. All of a sudden, I was going around in circles in the tiny tornado, which was weird because the tornado was about half the size of me, with a super strong force. Out of no where this black guy caught me. He was dressed in all black with super white eyes and a shaved head. Kind of creeped out and shaken up, I returned home and told my parents about the incident. Then, the sky turned a light yellow color and the wind started to pick up. My mom yelled for us to run into the basement, but my dad sat staring through the window, saying "that's awesome!". I turned to the window and saw the sky a dark purple color, and the grass and trees a bright color, lighten up from the yellow sky behind the house. The grass and trees were blowing like crazy in the howling wind. I yelled for my dad to get up and run to the basement, and he quickly got up and started running. When we got into the basement, my mom and dad went under the pool table for protection. For some reason, I didn't feel safe under the pool table, so I opened up the foot rest on the tan colored recliner and crouched underneath it. We could hear the wind blowing super hard, and I imagined that it was blowing down our house, along with everything in sight. All of a sudden, my chair started to lift off the ground. I tried to hold it down but realized that it was no use. The wind had sucked my chair out of the basement, which was odd because we were in the basement and nothing else was flying around. I started to go towards another room in the basement to find some other shelter but then my dad came out and said the storm was over. He went upstairs first, followed by me and then my mom. I looked outside to see the yellow sky again.


      The Lance Armstrong Book

      Nicole and I were at the library when she told me that she had accidentally returned the Lance Armstrong book I let her barrow into the library's return box. She told me that I probably would not be able to get it back because the librarians would think it was their book now. I was angry because this was my dad's book and I wanted it back. When I finally got the courage to go ask someone about it, the checkout counter turned into a movie theater snack bar. I ordered a cup of water because I was poor from buying a movie ticket earlier(movie tickets are super expensive these days) and asked her about the book. She gave me a cup of water and looked for the book. I think she found it.. I don't really remember. Then I was going to go to the movie that I got a ticket for but realized that it had started 20 minutes ago. I saw some of my friends standing in lines but they didn't look happy to see me because they were with other friends of theirs. That's all I remember.

      Dream Fragments:
      -sitting on a church bench for like two hours
      -eating food in a hotel room that had 3 bathrooms and was huge

      Fun with Flying
      -sidewalk w/ppl
      -jumping&flapping arms, practicing, getting better
      -some guy......

    14. The Fossilized City

      by , 06-10-2010 at 12:12 AM (Snacks From the Butler's Pantry)
      My body hums with energy as I lie on my side. I close my eyes and look away from my thoughts. When I open them again, I see the shadows have taken shape. In the darkness, I can barely make out the shape of a small robot standing in front of the window. He looks like that blue and white robot from Star Wars, R2D2. I blink my eyes, knowing it is only a hallucination. When I open them again, there are two of the little robots stacked on top of each other. It looks like my vision has been layered, with the second hallucination identical to, but offset from the first.

      My body vibrates again with another wave, and I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I open my eyes again, and see the robots have been replaced by the shadow of an impossibly tall, thin humanoid creature. He is silhouetted in moonlight filtering through the curtains. He wears a loose, hooded robe that conceals everything but his long spidery fingers. I try to pull back the covers to get out of bed, but find I can not move. In my mind's eye, I can see myself getting out of bed, but my body stays stubbornly paralyzed. The scene plays several times, as if on a loop. Finally, I reach out my hand to ask the tall creature by my bed for help. It slowly lifts one arm, and wraps its long spidery fingers around my outstretched hand. Its dark skin is tough and calloused, but velvety and warm, like the pads on a cat's paw. I expect it to lift me out of bed, but instead it just reassuringly caresses my hand.

      I struggle to roll backwards out of my body. It takes a few attempts before I awkwardly fall out of myself. I find myself lying, face down, on top of my girlfriend. My body is ethereal, like a ghost, so I am half merged with her sleeping body. I can feel her breathing and heartbeat separate from my own. Her energy feels anxious and antsy. I try to give her my calm and loving emotions before climbing off (and out of) her. I still feel paralyzed and stiff as I struggle to crawl away from my bedroom. Eventually I make it out the door, and into my front courtyard. In the darkness, I drag myself towards the front gate.

      Before I reach the gate, I am suddenly surrounded by sunlight. I am on my back floating weightlessly through the air. I watch the clear blue sky above filtering through the rustling canopy of trees. I am whisked along, unable to see where I am or where I am going. I can see every leaf clearly, and marvel at how real and stable everything seems.

      It doesn't last more than a moment before I find myself back in bed. The tall, spindly creature still stands inches away from my bed, watching me from the darkness. Knowing I must be still in the dream, I try to get out of bed. My body is still paralyzed, so I relax and take a deep breath. I can hear voices in the distance. I give them my attention and they become clear.

      It sounds like a talk radio program discussing border politics. The law granting citizenship to children born on U.S. soil has caused financial strain for hospitals near the border. They can't keep up with all the births. A new proposed law will grant citizenship to any child born within a certain distance of the border. This will help shift some of the burden back to Mexican hospitals.

      As I listen to this, I find myself floating along a freeway on-ramp. I follow the cars onto the freeway, flying just above them. Chain link fencing topped with barbed wire lines one side of the highway. The other side is a sheer cliff that drops into a beautiful, rocky mountain valley. I see the mountain in the distance, and fly towards it. Its cliffs look like an old quarry, with scrub trees clinging to the rocky cracks. My vision seems super sharp. The mountain is far away, on the horizon, but I can see every detail clearly. I can count the leaves on the trees, and see the bugs climbing through the cracks in it's rocky cliffs. I must be flying faster than I thought, because before I know it, I have passed the mountain, and am headed towards another.

      This one stands above a beautiful, still mountain lake. Bright, afternoon sunlight reflects, white, off the deep blue water, and I fly lower to splash my fingertips as I zoom along. I imagine all the fantastic creatures lying just below its mirrored surface. Lake creatures, sleeping dragons, beautiful sirens, and forgotten prehistoric creatures. I fly down into the water gradually, like a sea plane landing. As I pass below the surface, everything goes dark. Frightened the dream may fade, I quickly come up out of the water.

      In that split second of darkness, the entire scene has changed. The lake has become a ocean bay, and the mountain is now snow capped and icy. Fantastic rock formations cover its slopes. Natural white stone bridges, pinnacles, and stacked boulders. I fly along the choppy bay, towards a giant rock formation whose peak juts from the surface of the ocean. As I near it, I see it is the petrified remains of the San Francisco Bay Bridge. The steel has been covered in white ash, and hardened to stone. Only the top of the tower remains above sea level. I see the Golden Gate bridge in the distance, also half submerged and somehow fossilized to white stone. I now recognize the strange mountain rock formations as what is left of the San Francisco skyline. I imagine this must be the future, after the ice caps have melted and the sea level risen. I feel immense, uncontrollable sadness, and begin to cry. I start to sing a song I have never heard before,

      "My heart sings a hymn
      for what was lost..."

      I land on a small island in the bay. Only the peak of it stands above the water, snow covered and icy like a glacier. A gigantic pipe extends out of the island, buried in the rock and ice. It is big enough for a truck to drive through, and I know it leads to a subterranean system of tunnels below. I begin to walk into the tunnel, hesitating briefly at the edge of the light. A pair of eyes appear from deep within the tunnel, and a huge hulking white form lumbers from out of the wall of darkness. I find myself face to face with a giant polar bear. Standing on all fours, it is still twice as tall as me. Its hot breath steams in the frozen air, and I crane my neck to meet its eyes.

      "Hello sir." I manage to say. It looks as startled as I am, but friendly and wise. "Hello." It responds carefully, "I was just on my way out." I continue, "I would like to explore your den. I promise not to take any of your food, and will be gone before you return. Would that be alright with you?" It thinks for a moment, then continues slowly, "I don't know. That doesn't sound like a very good idea." It seems to be stalling, trying to think of a good excuse.

      I hear knocking. It gets louder, and more frantic. Someone is pounding on the front door of my house. A muffled voice is calling from the other side of the door. I know it must be a hallucination, but it sounds very real. The voice sounds like my girlfriend's mother. I am back in bed, but still totally paralyzed. I consider my options, then decide this is a good time to record the dream, anyways. I open my eyes, and am surprised to see the tall, spooky, hooded creature is still standing over me. I struggle against the paralysis to move. I see him shift his weight to his other foot when I open my eyes. I know he knows that I am awake. I reach for my flashlight and dream journal. I act casual, then suddenly point the light at the hooded figure, and flip it on, trying to catch myself (and him) off guard. Nothing happens. I click the switch a few times, before realizing this is a false awakening. The pounding is still coming from the front door. I close my eyes again, then open them and know I am really awake. There is nothing standing in front of the window. Just long shadows from the moonlight filtering through the curtains.

      Tripping in Class

      I was in my 6th hour class, which has stairs that the desks are seated on, like you would see at a college. I don't remember how or why, but I tripped on the stairs and went tumbling down until I hit my head on something at the bottom of the steps. I sat laying there, not knowing what to do. My teacher went to see if I was okay, and I didn't respond so he called someone. He seemed annoyed and didn't really care(pretty much how he is in RL). I slowly got up, and some time later this other girl from my class fell down the stairs too. Once again, the teacher didn't seem to care, or notice this time. Then I think I woke up.


      Dating a Random Kid

      I was sitting on the bleachers at a pep rally, I think, next to this kid from one of my classes. He was a little bit bigger, and I think on the wrestling team. He hugged me and I leaned on his shoulder. Apparently we were dating. I didn't really know what to say to him and felt bad for not talking much so I just cuddled with him. I don't remember any more of this dream.. when I woke up, I was like "what the hell?" hehe.
