I was sitting with my brother in a building that had a subway station below it. It had large glass walls and benches everywhere. We were sitting near the entrance where there is a large space between the bench and doors, just staring out the windows and talking. I forget what triggered it, I just remember that it was something from a previous dream, but I became lucid. I was so positive that I did not need to do a reality check. I remember saying,

"I had a feeling this was a dream the entire time"


I get up and stand in the spacious spot. I jump in the air, hoping to hover or fly but I fall right on my ass. I get up. I wasn't unhappy though because last time I attempted to fly I woke up. This time I remained lucid which was pleasing to me. I looked at my brother, was staring around the place attentively, it was pretty funny how realistic he looked. I tried to fly again but then I had a false awakening. ...of course I didn't realize this until I woke up

As I was waking up from a dream, I had that moment of lucidity that comes before everything is gone. Determined to gain that back, I closed my eyes and kept thinking about dreaming. I'm not sure how I knew when to do this but at the right time I just opened my eyes and *POOF* I'm on the inside of a department store like Wal Mart or something. I began running through the store, taking in the dreamscape around me. Everything looked so vivid and clear, it was so real. The gravity of me running through it was the only thing that felt obviously fake, as I was pretty light and I would basically glide and slide with each stride (LOL rhyme). I stopped in the middle of a bunch of isles and prepared to fly, but the second I left the ground the dream got hazy and I woke up.


Falling back asleep immediately, I find myself in the exact same department store. Without a question I know this is a dream so I start to run again. I don't run for as long this time because I had literally just done it, so I try to fly again. I wake up.


I guess my subconscious is realizing that the department store is no good because I keep figuring out that I'm dreaming. My dreamscape changes to some city in the middle of the night where there are a lot of brick walls and I'm walking with my friends. I payed so little attention to my friends that I can't even remember who they were anymore I decide to do a reality check, since I had just been lucid twice and it seemed like the right thing to do, and viola I'm dreaming again. This time I decide not to fly because I want to stay lucid longer and not wake up, so I just enjoy looking at the darkened city and the odd feeling of being there. I have a false awakening, do a reality check and wake upon becoming lucid. I go back to sleep and now I'm in a similar dreamscape except this time we're all in a car and the guy sitting next to me is someone I've never seen before. He's aware of lucid dreaming and is questioning his reality. I ask him "Are we dreaming?" (notice that I say 'we') and he says "I dunno man, you tell me". I plug my nose and have no trouble breathing, but since I don't usually use this check I'm still doubting it. Then I look at the clock and notice it change to something completely random before my eyes. I say, "yeah, we're definitely dreaming" and check my hands to reassure myself. We wanted to get out of the car, so we jumped out sort of...which was kind of scary. We landed under a bridge and he said "Come one, this is a dream we can do whatever we want!". I'm still unsure for some reason so I count my fingers and get 6 every time. I jump around with him and I remember thinking, "I wonder if this is a real person and if this is a shared dream!". I tell him, "so i this is a dream then i should have no problem doing this!!" and I ran up one of the brick walls. He began screaming at me saying that it wasn't safe anyways. I started to lose control and woke up.

Just for fun I did an RC and I WAS still dreaming, then I woke up again lol.

So my first dream was strange because I can't even recall myself being in it. It was basically just like watching an episode of Friends about Chandler...funny though

Dream 2:

I was with my friend and she was basically chugging this Mickie of Smirnoff Vodka. I keep telling her that Grey Goose tastes better and she says that she wants some, so we go looking. We end up going to some basement that's really messy and filled with all these random old toys, decorations and things. Kind of like a basement filled with old childhood memories or something. In there I find Miley Cyrus and she's completely drunk off her ass. She says she wants me to write her some movies to corrupt young children, and I tell her that I will add a shit load of dirty humor in the background where people won't notice. (see Rare's Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie) She has an evil laugh and then for some reason I'm turning this weird Key Device thing attached to a big ball and gold chain.

looked something like this



I'm not really sure what it was supposed to do.





Dream 3:


So now I'm in my friends backyard and with another friend, and he's looking really Grey and pale. He tells me that he's suicidal and so they gave him antidepressants. Then he goes further to tell me that the drugs are making him homicidal and that he has to kill me. We start pacing around the backyard as I try and convince him that he doesn't have to kill me and that he doesn't want to. He keeps dissagreeing and slowly becomes crazier and more bloodthirsty. The next thing I know he's running after me. I bold to the glass door that leads to my friends house but fall. Then I start begging him not to do anything as I cant get up (typical). He comes closer to me and....

I wake up.

I was walking through the parking lot of my old elementary school. It was raining and a very dark Grey out and for some reason there were many people walking through and around the area and driving through the parking lot. My friends mom came by in her car and told me to get in. I saw to my right that her oldest son, my really good friend, was walking out in the rain towards my house. I said, "where are we going?" and she told me that we were going to her house in Mississauga, which is a good 40 minutes from where we were. I told her that her son was walking out there in the rain and that we should pick him up but she insisted that she drove me to her house first then she would come back and drive him.

>> We're on the highway and it's still pouring. She's a terrible driver because she's kind of afraid behind the wheel. She would just stop in the middle of traffic and wait until enough room builds up for her to change lanes. I grab control of the wheel because I cannot stand how bad she is at driving and eventually I switch places with her and continue driving.

>> flashforward again....we're all on a boat.

I've really needed a hair cut lately and its transferred over to my dreams.

I dreamt that my brother and I went to go get a hair cut at some barbershop because I've been looking for a new place to get my hair cut and I'm just not sure where yet. The guy cuts my brothers hair fine but when he does mine it come out all strange looking, uneven, straight on one side despite my hair being curly and the right half of my head looked like girl's hair. I was extremely pissed off and tried to explain to the guy that he sucks and how he should have done it. A girl that went to highschool with me is getting her hair done and gives me a smirky look.


I decide I want another person to cut my hair and voila, I'm suddenly at a plaza by my house that doesn't even have anything hair related in it. In fact, this is the same place that my last lucid dream took place except now it's night time. I recognize a girl I used to be friends with who also wants a hair cut and we go to the salon or barber shop or whatever. They tell us that we need to get tickets from the convenient store at the other corner of the plaza so we go and do that. The guy there says to me, pointing out my terrible haircut, "Do you want me to give you my hair dresser?" while laughing. His hair is done up pretty cool, I can tell that he's Israeli because of how he looks and how he dresses. Not to mention that a lot of kids from Israel hang out that plaza. I say sure, he laughs and we move on. We get back to the hair-cut place and I notice that almost every employee has an eyebrow piercing. I'm pretty sure that one of them had it going right through his left eye. That girl and I wait for a our turn and sit at the waiting chairs.


Then suddenly this other girl I know comes in with an Ounce of weed. I tell her that it looks really shwaggy but she says she doesn't care she's just happy she has an ounce to herself so that she doesn't have to make any more purchases for a while. I notice that there's like a tiny tree of stem sticking out one of the nugs and so I offer to break it off for her because it's a waste of space. I tell her, "you don't need this part, it's like a weed" and rip it out.

I don't know if there is more after this but for now this is all I can remember.

This dream is already very vague for me as I chose not to write anything major down immediately after waking up. I remember that I was suddenly in grade 12 again, except my whole class and teacher were all working in my house. It was business, I remember this because the head of the business department was the teacher. I remember I was with my friend David in the kitchen and for some reason we were both trying to draw the Canadian flag with absolutely no luck. I no longer remember the rest of the dream, though I do remember that before I woke up we were walking up to my room. A lil Wayne song was playing and it somehow started transitioning into that really crappy new Usher song (Oh My God, I think) and then into some hilarious Jamaican sounding dialect. Then I woke up.


This was a morning dream, and what was strange about it was that it carried a similar characteristic to many other fragments I had that morning. I was sitting on the floor of a mall near my house with a kid from my old Highschool that is a nice guy but I was never really good friends with. I'm not sure what we were talking about, I just remember that I had a very strong cold and that it made him uncomfortable. My nose was stuffed and I was coughing and I felt like shit. He was kept moving around me, I guess in an effort to avoid getting sick. Then I woke up.


This dream also took place in the same mall, except it was with people that I actually see on a more regular basis. I remember that we were walking towards a down escalator. I was sick, much like I was in the previous fragment but not nearly as bad, and they were keeping a distance because of that. (when I woke up I noted this as a dream sign for the morning) I remember someone having some sort of portable video device, possibly an iPhone, and talking about Grand Theft Auto 4. I said, "Hey, I wanna watch the trailer for that game cause then maybe I can fall asleep and have a lucid dream". My friends gave me a weird look and then I woke up.

I dreamt that I was rollerblading through an area near my house right by this convenient store. There were some kids behind me and they were talking about someone I used to know, calling him scary and exaggerating characteristics about him. I started laughing out loud to taunt them because I know that the guy is totally harmless. Then I went into the convenient store from its back entrance in order to make my way through to the other side like a short cut. Before I left, the store clerk who was somewhere near my age started telling the kids who were trailing me that the guy they were talking about is harmless. He mentioned his ex-girlfriend and I told him that they broke up a few months ago and that he broke it off. I left the store and I started to wake up. At this point I became aware that I was dreaming and tried really hard to focus on staying in the dream, I heard a sound from the real world but simply imagined that it was a truck passing by on the road next to me. I woke up. (Looking back on it I think that this was a false awakening) Determined to make this work I forced myself back to sleep into the same dream, only this time I was slightly further away from the store. I was sitting on the sidewalk with the guy from the store and he was holding a book about lucid dreaming saying, telling me that I was dreaming. This time I actually got up and said, “Hey I’m dreaming!” but I could immediately feel that I was waking up. I got up and started rubbing my hands together, which didn’t feel fully real but I was able to feel a chalky texture in my hands. I’m not exactly sure what happened in-between, I either had a false awakening or was just transported to my room somehow, but the next thing I knew I was standing in my room to the left side of my bed, lucid but struggling not to wake up. I remember that behind me, where there is usually nothing, were some strange looking objects including a red triangle. Now this is the weirdest part. In an effort to stay asleep, I continued to rub my hands and thought, “hmm… maybe if I change something about the situation I can remain dreaming”. So I walked up to my door and said aloud, “There is a black room behind this door”. But when I opened the door there was no black room. There was the hallway to my brother’s room as there always is, but there was my brother standing there looking like a broken hologram. I’m not sure exactly how to explain this, but imagine as if there was some sort of futuristic holographic projection device displaying him, except it malfunctioned and he came out like some sort of pixely, flashing black silhouette. This kind of scared me, so I retreated back into my room. He started walking towards me like he would if he really was my brother, but it was insanely creepy because of how he looked. Then I started to loose my grip of the dream, things got really faded and I woke up.


I remember thinking, "Fuck, I should have tried spinning with my eyes closed!" But this never would have worked because this was a morning dream and something like the 5th one I had. But either way, I'm very happy because this is the first time in 5 years that I have had a lucid dream.

I dreamt that I was in a giant world that was laid out similar to a Banjo Kazooie level. It was an underwater level that I was exploring and I remember searching for music notes without luck. It was very rustic and grey and had many different pipe-shaped entrances to other rooms. There was someone else in there with me but I don’t remember who it was, just that he usually waited around for me as I explored. Randomly I would be transported to my house where I recall a documentary about Rivers Cuomo was playing. He had a mustache like in the Red Era and was crying to his wife, though in reality the person on the screen was not his wife at all. My friend Lenny was telling me about a girl that was going to be at his party for me and how she thinks that I’m shallow because I decided not to meet her on one occasion (though this never actually happened). I also vaguely remember my mom showing me a bunch of Disney books including musical ones. This part was very vivid for me and I remember singing a bit of A Whole New World because my mom said she forgo how it went. I also remember a bit where I somehow ended up playing around with a set of keyboards in the Weezer recording room. I had a keyboard that was set to the audio of an interview and I remixed it, much to Cuomo’s interest. I remember remembering this part of the dream throughout most of it.

Unfortunately by the time I remembered this dream I had forgotten most of it, but I will try my best to recollect.

I was with my friend Josh and for whatever reason, he needed me to drive him. Me being the lazy prick I am, I have not gotten my license yet so I should have immediately recognized this as weird. I was nervous, as I don't drive very often and was worried about my driving skills. I remember that it was late enough that there were few cars on the road and I was driving terribly. Overly wide turns and poor steering, etc. I crashed into the curb (I think), reversed out and continued my sloppy driving. I remember going to a store that sells children's products like colouring books and little mind puzzles. This is the last of the dream that I can remember.
