memorable

I'm just going to retype one of those four dreams that got screwed up. They were all lucids, but one was a complete fail and I couldn't do anything in the other two.

~I was standing out in my backyard with a few friends. It was dark out, and a person started walking towards us. I woke up. Then I fell back into the dream and knew I was dreaming. My friends were running towards a clearing a little ways away. I followed them.

Once we were all there, I was really excited and I jumped up... But I have no idea how I did the next thing. I went high up into the air and was suddenly some amazing creature. I was tall and had pale blue skin with purple designs all over. And I had these wing-type things. My arms were really long and made the top part. Then the actual wing was sort of like a butterfly's, but it waved and billowed and flowed around me like a dress when I spun around and flew in the air.

I was flipping around and doing all sorts of wild tricks. I was still lucid, so somewhere in the back of my mind I was astounded that I hadn't crashed to the ground yet. But it was completely effortless and I didn't even have to think. When I eventually came back down, I was myself again. I don't know what the heck happened; maybe it was my excitement exploding out in some random way.

For the rest of that dream, my friends and I rode around in bumper-car things that shot lasers.

Dreams from yesterday night and last night:

~I was a white tiger. It felt so cool, I just walked around and laughed when people went "OOOOOHHHHH A TIGER HOW PRETTY!".

~Okay, this one's kind of odd. There was a woman who went into a room and waited for a few seconds. A man suddenly appeared. He was dressed in all these sparkling, royal-looking clothes. He seemed like a regular human, but I think in the dream he was some sort of god. The woman ran up and hugged him. He kissed her.

"You're finally back. I've been waiting for you," the woman said.

"And now you must wait no longer." The man took her hand, and she led him upstairs to another room. She saw a bug on the wall and jumped a little. "Oh, I hate those things," she said.

"What?" The man let go of her hand. "Hate? You do not hate! You only love!" The woman was instantly scared, and said, "No, you have to understand. My time as a human has changed me, and--"

"No! The woman I love does not HATE!" The man pulled out a knife and chucked it at her. She ducked and it stuck in the wall. He threw two more, but neither hit, and then he ran out of the room. The woman chased after him. She caught him outside the house they had been in, and grabbed his arm. He turned away.

"Just listen, please," the woman said. "I do love everything. I just hate what some things do." Apparently that was good enough for the guy, because he picked her up and kissed her. (Jeez, dramatic much. )

~There's a giant hole in my backyard. That's actually a fact; I'm not talking about a dream right now. But in the dream, I was walking around that hole and a bunch of cartoony zombies started climbing out. I had an axe for some reason, and I began hacking their oddly shaped heads in half. After I killed them all, I looked and saw that they had had whole brains in them.

"Oh man, they must have been growing brains in there," I said to myself. I walked around to the side of the house, where there was a hole in the wall covered with a concrete door. There was a patch of hay above it. When I kicked that, a big spider that looked like it was made of hay came out. I squashed it, and another one came. I squashed that one, and four big non-hay spiders came out. They were cartoony, like the zombies, but they had big pinchers and moved fast.

"What do you think you're doing? This is the lair of It," one of them said.

"Well, maybe I want to kill It," I told them.

"We would let you, but he's really being an idiot today. So... we have to attack you." All the spiders jumped off the wall and started attacking people who were suddenly walking around. As that dream ended, I heard one spider who was latched on to a guy's neck saying, "You only have one neck vein?"

~Last one: I was walking around my house, and the Mad Hatter was there. We walked upstairs, where there was just a little spot of floor, and then a door to the left and a door to the right. One was green and one was orange, but they both had a lot of writing on them. The Hatter suddenly went off talking like he was in a trance, and I saw a flashback. I forget what it was. When he stopped talking, I said, "I would open one of these doors, but I'm afraid I'll get something thrown at me."

"Let's open this one, then," he said, and opened the door to the left. Sure enough, a teacup came flying out. We stepped in, and the March Hare was there. There was also another guy who looked like he could've been related to the Hatter. He got mad at me for being to loud, and I said something back that ticked him off. I can't remember what it was.

Um, I had this dream a couple weeks ago. It was actually a shared dream with one of my friends.

I was in a classroom. A girl from school was walking around, telling people what to do. She came up to me and told me to do something, but I refused to.

“Um, you have to do what I say,” she said prissily, with her hand on her hip.

“No I don’t, because this is a dream,” I told her. She gave me a look like I was completely stupid, rolled her eyes, and walked away. It took me a few seconds for what I had just said to sink in. “Whoa! Holy crap! I’m dreaming!” I pinched my arm just to make sure, then pinched my nose shut and breathed in. Positive that it was a dream, I stood up on one of the desks and told everyone that it was a dream and I was leaving.

I tried to make a portal. I visualized one in front of me, swirling blue and black, and a faint image of it appeared. I concentrated on it as hard as I could, and it darkened and became a real portal. I was really surprised that that worked, since I can never manage to do much in my dreams.

“Ha!” I cried, and stepped through it. I came out into a large-ish room with a wooden floor and wooden walls. There was a hot tub in an alcove type thing in the back. Another girl from school was there, and she didn’t even look phased by my sudden appearance. She just looked at me, looked at the hot tub, and said, “I’ll beat you there!”

She was closer to it than me, so she just laughed and jumped in. I figured I’d amaze her with my dream powers (if I could get them to work), so I tried to manifest another hot tub. The same thing happened as with the portal: a faint image that darkened and became real. She just laughed again and told me that that was cool. I decided I might as well leave. I made another portal and stepped through it.

I came out in the school cafeteria. It was a lot bigger than normal, though. I tried to think of something that I could do. I looked around for my friends. Not difficult, seeming as that’s only about six people. I found them and told them that I was going to take them through a portal to somehwere. They all agreed that it was a good idea.

“Everyone stay here for a minute,” I said. I kind of made a portal, but the guys started stepping off to the side, and I had to get them back together. I couldn’t concentrate on them and the portal at the same time, so the portal vanished. “Way to go!” I said, annoyed. I made another one and shoved everyone through it before they could walk away. We came out in the band room. Ms. R (band teacher) was there, doing something on her computer and conducting to herself. She didn’t even notice us come in. I led everyone out into the hallway, which looked just like the hallway in our regular school, except the clocks on the walls looked much nicer. I went across the hallway and looked at a small sign that was next to a door. It had the name of a teacher on it. It was a crazy name; long, with a bunch of A’s and I’s and a K or two.

“Ahaha, this is hilarious!” I said. “I need to try to remember this.” I didn’t, obviously. I turned back to the group, a little disappointed, because everything looked the same as normal school. But we all walked down the hallway, and stepped into a beautiful room. The floors were marble, milky white and polished, and in the center of the room there were several pillars supporting a domed roof. The bottoms and tops of the pillars had detailed carvings on them, and it reminded me of Rome. We walked down another hallway. The right wall had a part that was set back a bit, and there were statues of horses; in the middle, two facing each other and rearing up, and on either side, two smaller ones just standing. There were also those… topiaries? Yeah, I think that’s the word for those bush things that are sculpted to look like stuff. There were topiaries in spiral shapes on the edges. A stone fountain was between the two horses in the center.

We continued down that hallway, which came out to the pool. The floor was black marble swirled with white, polished like in the first room. The room was kind of steamy. The pool was rimmed with gold. The pool had one main part, a long rectangle in the center of the room. A smaller section came off either side, and each of those branched off in both directions and met to make a larger rectangle around the main pool. There was a platform in the center of the main pool with a fountain on it; it had four dragons with water pouring out of their mouths. Small arches went over some parts of the smaller, outside rectangle. I went swimming for a while, and I think that’s where the dream ended.

When I told my friends about this dream, one of them said he had dreamed that he was in a castle with a group of people. When he described the inside, it was almost exactly like wherever I had been was.
