So close!!

This dream started as me playing a video game, so I was kind of doomed to not question reality from the start. Fun dream nonetheless.
The dream started as a downhill mountainboarding/skateboarding game, which was fun to ride downhill, weaving between trees, skipping down rock formations, and jumping off small cliffs. Eventually I came to a city and switched over to my skateboard. After riding around for a little while, I entered a factory and started skating down ramps and grinding rails. At one point in the factory I went through a large doorway and started skating around a small room that was almost identical to a room in the manufacturing plant where I work. I recognized this peculiarity in my dream, but because I thought it was a video game I didn't think anything of it.

Oh well, at least I'm starting to be more aware of my dreams.

This one is kind of long and not particularly interesting so i'm going to highlight a few of the more important parts.

-At some point I was driving, which is my biggest dream sign, and I didn't do a RC. A little disappointing.
-I was in an asian supermarket and saw some banana flavored popsicles, which looked delicious, but the logo on the front was the gorilla glue logo. I thought it was funny that that logo was what my brain decided to associate with bananas.
-At one point I was at the pool out back of an unfamiliar house, and on the wall was the same mural I painted in the courtyard of my fraternity house. What was interesting is that the words didn't change no matter how many times I looked at it. I suppose this is because my brain sees this as a whole picture rather than words. That's all.

Here's a pic of the mural for reference:

This ones short.

I was at an outdoor abstract/modern sculpture meuseum. There was this one cool exhibit where you'd look at some sculptures in the distance through an empty frame and it would recreate a painting. There were also some painted caves, one of which I got stuck in. Thats all I remember.

This is my first entry since restarting my dream journal, and it was quite a memorable start for me. This was by far the most vivid dream I've ever had, with sensory clarity on par with real life if not exceeding it. The contents of the dream were nothing special however. The dream is as follows:

I started driving with my girlfriend to visit our old high school in New Jersey. Just before sunset we saw storm clouds on the horizon, we pulled over into a gravel parking lot to take shelter in a house. As we stepped out of the car I looked out across a wheat field towards the school. The wheat rippled softly in the wind, the setting sun light tinging it in hues of amber and gold. Storm clouds in shades of pink and blue swirled fiercely in the distance, with intermittent lightning strikes breaking the sereneness of the setting.

We entered the house, and I was surprised to be greeted by some of my fraternity brothers from Florida. We talked for a while as the rains poured down, though I can't recall the contents of the conversation. I soon found myself surfing the internet, watching a video that constantly changed subject matter. After this the rains let up, and I walked outside to start the car. As I was walking, I tripped and stumbled to my hands and knee. My leg had fallen through the earth up to my other knee. When I pulled it out of the hole, my leg was covered in a thick brown mud, though it felt like soft wet clay to the touch.

After a short jump in time, I found myself back on the road with my girlfriend. The rains had returned, and obstacles were soon materializing in the road, a fallen tree, an animal skittering across the road, a crumbling bridge across a rising river. A little while later we came to the same obstacles, and I realized we were driving in circles. A few circuits later, the streets began to flood. My car turned into a boat, and I tried my best to paddle my way through the swift currents. The bridge was now completely destroyed, and ramped down into the river. The sudden incline tipped the boat over, and we both clung to the outside of the boat. With one hand on the boat, I tried to push my girlfriend back inside, but the river was too strong, and soon we were both sucked in. We managed to swim to shore, and I feared the worst for the phone in my pocket, however, when I looked at it it was working.

Then I woke up, very impressed by the vividness of the now obvious dream I had just had.
