Serenity's Silver Millennium

Lucidity - 1/5
I'm hanging out with Jack and his cousins. Sara's a in a youth group (otherwise known as a Christian-related gathering of teens), and they are holding a karaoke of songs, but the songs should be religious-based, or hymns. Sara reaaaaaally wants me to sing something.

I don't remember how I got in this physical position, but I'm bent over backwards, and I try to whisper, "But I'm an athiest!" This old co-worker of mine, Abby (from McDonalds) is standing there and is giving me this look like, "Oh good one, they all heard that!"

"Did I say that too loud?" I ask.

"Uh, yeah, the group leader heard it," she says. The pastor (a greying, 60-something man) is giving me the awkward eye. Fack!

Anyways, I consider doing something typical like Amazing Grace, but I don't know the words to it (true story). I hear someone else practicing it and thought, "Oh well, I don't want to repeat what someone else is doing, anyways." Then, a beautiful idea strikes me! I'll sing Let It Be, by The Beatles!! Normally I balk at that song being considered religious (because of the whole "Mother Mary" bit. Paul was referring to his own mum, not the religious one), but it's perfect! It's like a double entendre. I'm so happy at my clever idea. So, I submit that song for my piece (I never did get around to actually singing it though).

There's a skip, and Jack and I are going through some hallways, investigating something. We enter a room that is walled with bookshelves. The pastor is sitting in there, reading a book. I suddenly notice that I'm also topless. I start to feel slightly embarrassed about this, until it clicks in my head that if I ever start hanging around in public places without clothing on, there's a good chance I'm dreaming. I look down at Jack, who is laid out on the floor, investigating something under the desk. And he's stark naked. And the pastor is looking at us, like "What the fuck is this?!" I couldn't help laughing at the whole scene, and then my alarm woke me up.

The Assassination of Miranda Lake - Partial lucid - 1/5
Setting is Victorian period, and we're in this big mansion (possibly a political building).
Miranda Lake was a very well-to-do figure in the political scene. She is also something of a sorcerer, and she's evil. My "sister" (we are part of an underground movement, this DC was not my related sister) and I are to kill the sorcerer.

"The problem is," my sister was saying, "Whenever I get near her, I can't kill her. She has this magical spell protecting her that makes us adore her and unable to kill her."

"I'll back you, sister!" I said. "Be brave, we'll get through this together."

"It will probably feel like I'm killing my one true love," she warned. "I really need you in on this," she maintained.

"You have my word," I said.

We went into the room. Miranda knew what was up, and immediately put her spell to work. However, she chose the wrong person. She approached me and placed her arms on my shoulders. I immediately started to forget why we were here. I struggled to remain aware and wondered what was taking my accomplice so long.

"Do it now!!" I commanded.

A shot rang through the air, and Miranda's body crumpled before me. "We need to get out of here, and fast!" my sister warned me. We left the room. Someone else in our group was casting a spell of their own. The guards of the mansion would know what we'd done, but the spell cast would make them either unable to care, or unable to comprehend, it was something along those lines.

We left through the front of the building, and the guards were giving us the awkward eye, but they didn't move from their post. We decided to split up at this point and rendezvous at our headquarters.

I was jogging along this pathway... I was the last person in the group, on the path. There was another guy up in front of me (walking a dog), and more people along the way, ahead of him. I felt I really needed to catch up with my companions, especially since Miranda's spell would not have worn off my sister, yet.

I started catching up to the guy in front of me and jogged to the side to go around him. He moved with me. I moved to the other side, and he moved with me again.

I caught up and saw that it was Danny! And the dog he was with was Buttons (my former dog - she was put down 4 years ago). "How are you moving with me from all the way back there?" I asked him.

"I was intentionally trying to block you," he said.

"Oh... well, I really need to be catching up with the rest of the group," I said.

"How are you going to do that?" he asked... it seemed like he was leaning towards something, and I'm not catching on...

"I was going to jog..." I replied.

"Oh right, cos you're a great jogger!" he giggled... not maliciously, but he was taunting me, nonetheless.

I sped up and felt my legs go all slow and get that water legged feeling... "I suppose I could fly," I said, sort of cluing in.

Suddenly, my dog bared her teeth and attacked me! She bit onto my hand. It didn't hurt me. Danny knew this. "Why doesn't it hurt?!" he yelled. I fought off my dog.

I also misunderstood his question (stupid dream-logic) and answered, "She's attacking me because she's a spirit and knows I just helped kill someone!" (I think Danny actually facepalmed me here, but my dog was attacking me again, so I didn't see. But I bet he did). My dog was being even more aggravating now, so I literally pushed her off me and she fell onto the ground, on her back. She was stunned. I lost any lucidity too.

"What did you do?" Danny asked.

"Nothing... when I knock her out, she forgets why she was being aggressive," I answer. I knelt down and took her by her forepaws and started rubbing them.

"I think you've killed her again," Danny said (Oh thanks ).

Her eyes started fluttering though! I picked her up in my arms and carried her (vertically). She was completely pacified too. Danny, however, was pretty aggravated now, lol. "So NOW what are you going to do?! Carry her for the rest of the dream?!"

"Yep," I answered. Dream dissolved.

Triple Rainbow!
I was watching a storm from my window. It actually was sunny outside, from this side of the house, but the front half of the house was experiencing a rainstorm. It was like the break in clouds was right over the house.

The sunshower was producing a triple rainbow effect. All three rainbows were very brightly coloured, too, and quite vivid. I took pictures and recorded some video on my cellphone, so I could upload them to the net, later. I wanted to send it to the "double rainbow" guy, on youtube.

More rainbows - Lucid - 1/5
I chained back into a dream, lucid. I was on a very long stretch of straight highway and the end of the rainbow was beaming down right onto the road. It was extremely bright and vivid. I walked through the rainbow. It had two sensations. It was all misty, like water droplets, but it had a certain viscosity to it, too. I was slowed down as I walked through the rainbow. I woke up again.

Finally WILDed... I just barely managed to hold onto awareness as I got sucked into the dream, AND barraged by false memories so the dream could set the plot up. But, I did it!

The Store Coupons - Lucid - 1/5
We had somehow acquired a large stack of store coupons for this place... it was much like one of them Walmart Superstores. Anyways, some dream character lost our coupons somewhere in the store. I was passing through an aisle of brightly coloured fuzzy socks, there were almost every colour of the rainbow... bright reds, yellows, oranges, greens, blues, and blacks. I remember thinking to myself, "Sometimes, all you have to do is turn the corner and what you seek will be there." I was about to do just that, when the dream started dissolving. I went back to the socks and started rubbing them against my face. It started to bring the dream back in.... until I stopped. Then it faded out again

August 13, 2010

No recall from before the WILD attempt.

WILD attempt unsuccessful... got a little too relaxed Fell asleep listening to ninja's subliminal mp3

Back to bed by 6am, and mantra'd to myself: How does my body feel? <- Noting this because it seemed to have worked That or the mp3... not sure.

The mirror - Lucid - 4/5
It's night time. I find myself walking up to a line up of cars in a drive thru. I randomly get inside a car at the pick up window. In the driver seat, there is a chick highly reminiscent of Mimi from Drew Carey, except she was as large as Peter Griffin from family guy (and also lacked a neck).





The other girl in the passenger seat was fairly nondescript. So anyways, the order is somehow wrong, and we go inside the restaurant. The restaurant is a bit shaky, and it starts melding into a school. And now, we were in the girls' classroom. My friends started talking absolute nonsense. It sounded like their tongues got all swollen. During this bit, I gradually started getting lucid, and by the time they started talking in tongues ( ) I was fully lucid.

I leave the room and I pass by the guys' classroom. I see Darren in there, but I'm not quite ready to do anything about that yet. I have two goals to complete first. A mirror and a unicorn. I walk to the end of the hall, where I tell myself there will be a washroom. "When I open the door, there will be a person-sized mirror for me to step through in there," I tell myself. Believing it, I opened the door. The bathroom was deplorable (as they often are in my dreams), lacked toilets... and mirrors. Ugh... Alright... let's just snap my fingers and summon one. I tried snapping my fingers, but for some reason, it wouldn't work. My fingers felt all swollen and floppy, and they just wouldn't snap. I looked at my hands in frustration and found my middle fingers looked like carrots (skin coloured carrots, mind). "You're fucking joking!" I said, out loud.

The forcing of control caused the dream to deteriorate. I remembered Mosh telling me about using senses and I remembered my own experience about interacting with the dream environment, so I immediately touched the door to the washroom and started rubbing it. It brought the dream back. I continued to do that until it felt solid again.

I turned around, and there was a small mirror on the wall, now. It'll have to do. I took it off the wall and flopped it on my head. It didn't quite thunk, it had some give. "Perfect!" I thought. I closed my eyes and started bringing the mirror down over me. Past my head, my shoulders. Around my waist, I told myself when this is done, I'll be in an enchanted forest, for the unicorn. I brought the mirror down through my feet, and stepped out of the back side. Still in the washroom. I sighed. This dream is being ridiculous. I also had to rub the walls again, because it was being shaky again. I remembered Mosh saying something about using all his senses. I smelled the washroom. It smelled like cleaner. I licked the door ( :sick: ). It tasted like nothing, but had the same texture as it did for my hands.

I need to find some other way to reach the unicorn, but I got slightly distracted. I realized I was wearing my nightgown (same as WL), but my flannel pants and undies were missing. I thought, "Oh fantastic, let's summon Darren now, then!" I stared at a wall. "Darren? Can I see you?" I asked, using the same trick I used to summon Danny, my DG. I turned around. He's not there. This is some of the worst control I've had in a really long time...

Alright, well, I remember seeing him earlier... I left the washroom and poked my head into the guys' classroom. A bunch of faces stared at me. No Darren, though.

I went out to the common area... scan, scan... no Darren. I began to think any of one of these guys will do... But no! I firmed my resolve. It's Darren or nothing! I realized he wasn't going to be in this dream, so, lets go find the unicorn.

I left the building, and found it's still nighttime (hooray for dream continuity! Sort of). I started jogging and remembered, "Well, I'm dreaming... let's just fly." At my side, was my purse, from WL. Good, cos I was using it for stabilization. Oh right, at some point here, I was playing around with throwing an object in the air, cos it kept coming down slowly (which amused me, apparently ). Also, I remember seeing the supervisor vehicle from work, and a bunch of guys were piling into it like a clown car... Let's just ignore that. Anyways, I kicked off the ground, flew a bit and sank. I kinda figured this would happen, though, cos I'd been having control problems all dream. I rubbed my purse and remembered to set a point on the horizon to focus on while I fly. I kicked off again, and fixed my "point" on the stars. I felt it connect with my third eye, and flying was now no longer an issue. I shouted into the night, "I summon a unicorn!" My voice sounded like laryngitis. The dream also started destabilizing again, too. I do remember seeing a unicorn come at me, but it kept fading I rubbed my purse again. Nothing. I rubbed my hands. Nothing.

When I woke up and looked at my clock, I realized I probably wouldn't have been able to save it anyways... I'd been asleep about 90 minutes, so the REM period was probably up.

I tried my mantra again, but I seemed to lack focus this go-around...

Hugh Laurie
A dream hanging out with Hugh Laurie. Not much else going on here.

Getting shot - Lucid - 1/5
Not entirely sure what prompted me to have this kind of a dream... but I was Eva Braun... Hitler asked me to do something for him, but I betrayed him instead. He pointed a gun at me and I vaguely knew that I was dreaming. I thought to myself, "Let myself get shot, I want to know what this feels like, in dreams." Nothing happened, so I screamed, "Go ahead and shoot me!" at him. I heard the sound (like a silencer) and it just felt like a headache, but very pinpointed... like the surface area of a laser point or a needle. Nothing horrible. I woke up.

August 11, 2010

Beatles in prison!
I was a security guard for my current building, but the building itself held a much different purpose. In the basement, we were holding the Hamburg-age Beatles prisoner. Not entirely sure why... I concocted a plan to get them out so they wouldn't miss their gigs.

By the time I started the dream, I had already done my part to get them out. Nobody had noticed they were even gone. I was patrolling the basement and came to the north stairwell, where I encountered their instruments. Ohhh shit! Susanna (RL friend of mine) fell through!! Getting the instruments to them was her responsibility!

I started trying to make phone calls, contacting people who could help me get them their instruments, but no luck. I tried to phone Paul, to let him know what happened, and the owner of the building answered. My employer. I sincerely hope he doesn't have me on call ID.

"I'm sorry, who's this?" I say, trying to disguise my voice.

"Marissa Hampton," the voice says, impatiently. She either doesn't know, or she isn't letting it on...

"I'm trying to reach Paul, I thought this was his phone number!" I continued.

"Well, he's indisposed of at the moment," she said and hung up on me. I think I'm in the clear!

There's this odd little bit where I hear someone coming into the basement. I hear a woman's voice, so I hide under the sinks in the men's washroom. She comes into the men's room though, to use the toilet She sees me when she's done, and I made some stupid comment about fancying hiding underneath washroom sinks. She says she won't tell anyone.

Paul and the lads finally returned, and I greeted them remorsefully about their instruments. Paul assured me it was okay, they actually didn't need them today.

Woke up here to WILD, but it failed because I'm a wuss. No, seriously, I kept breaking SP because it was making me all achy and itchy. I need to man up for my next attempt

The Dream WILD - Lucid - 3/5
I'm in a dorm with a bunch of people. Nola, from my radio job is acting VERY kooky. Slightly insane. Can't recall what she was saying, but she was keeping everyone awake. I remember guiding her back to her bed and saying, "It's time to sleep now, Nola!"

"Okay, Serenity!"

I crawled back into my bed. I was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Everyone has their dream partners for tonight?"

"Yesssss," a grumbling mumble answers me.

"Good," I say.

I close my eyes and I picture the hallway of a house. Almost immediately, the image surrounds me in 3D. "Holy crap!" I thought. "That surprised me! Wow, it's all 3D and pretty solid already. I know I'm dreaming. I don't remember a gap in consciousness. I think I finally WILD'ed!" I was overjoyed, but I kept my cool. I started carefully exploring the house, by walking down the stairs. I saw Darren approach me and I thought, "I should stabilize before anything starts to happen." I rubbed my hands together, and the dream dissolved.

When I woke up, I realized I just had a WILD within a ND. That was a very cool experience! I wonder... is that what a visual transition should look like, when I get there? You think of something, and it kind of just whooshes around you into 3D? Anyways, I tried to fall back to sleep and chained back into the house from my dream WILD.

It wasn't as solid this time. I was standing in the living room, that overlooked another level to the house. It was like this second-level living room was my and Darren's personal space of the house. However, the room next to me was an open-plan kitchen (no separating walls to distinguish the rooms) and my parents were making breakfast. Dream dissolved.

Dream dinner - Lucid - 2/5
I joined this line up for some food. It wasn't very easy to tell where the line up started.

Then, we saw some other people jumping the queue, and starting their line up in what was admittedly a better position. But it pissed us off and we started shouting "Hey, there's a queue!" and they began taunting us.

We somehow managed to take our spots back by cutting in front of them when there was a gap in the line. I told everyone to run for it.

We get inside and we're greeted by this lady looking like she could be working for Oktoberfest. She had a tray of veggie things and potatoes and the like. I got some dumplings and rice from her.

Behind her, there was an array of plates full of breaded fish and chicken, but for some reason, we weren't allowed to eat them. She kept blocking my path and saying they were for dinner. I said they'd be cold by dinner.

I got a burger and joined some strangers to eat. Not much here, other than one girl didn't know where i got the dumplings from. Oh, and she told me this was a dream dinner. We could order anything we could have wanted in a dream.

[Woke up and chained]
I'm on the roof of the same restaurant. Its flying down to join a main building. I had to crouch in to avoid getting knocked off. The guy controlling the building's flight was impressed and said I should be a sorcerer's apprentice. I was game for that.

[The deer. Scene jump, possibly another chain, can't remember]
I saw a very aggressive deer attacking a fence. "This is a dream!" I thought to myself. "About fucking time I recognized one!" ("This is a dream" is my MILD mantra).

The deer saw me and started to charge at me. I jumped up to fly. However, gravity pulled me back down. "WTF?" I thought. I tried jumping again. This time was more successful, but the deer started floating with me I decided to blast it with some fire, but... nothing came out.

Frustrated now with my lack of control, I tried just blasting it away with energy shocks. It kind of worked, but it turned into a dog. And the dog was still quite pissed off and bitey.

I tried blasting the dog with fire and nothing So, in a last ditch effort to change the attack, I threw a shield around myself, closed my eyes and fell to the ground.

To my surprise, the dog started licking me! I opened my eyes and started petting the dog. He rolled over to his side for a belly-rub. I propped myself up on one arm and kept petting him. "So, why did you stop attacking me?" I asked him. "Is it because I gave in, into a submissive stance?"

The dog nodded.

"I guess I shouldn't really do that next time though," I pondered.

The dog nodded in agreement. "The attacks may not always stop," it said, wisely.

Darren's car
My dad and I were in a shop. I could see through a glass wall into the next door shop. I saw Darren there, sitting at a table. I recall my dad was sitting across from me (against the glass), and he was saying something to me, but I kept getting distracted, looking over at Darren, and just saying things like, "Oh yeah?" really distractedly to him

We all left at the same time (including Darren). My dad and I were coming down the right of way lane, and he mashed the breaks because Darren nearly cut us off. My dad comments, "Just cos he's rich, doesn't mean he owns the road!" And my dad keeps inching along, trying to force Darren's car back... but Darren isn't giving up either!

Me, I'm just worried about the paint job on both cars. Our two cars were an inch away from scraping each other. I stuck my hand out in between the cars so they wouldn't scrape. I gave Darren a reproachful look, and he smiled at me

Later on, I found his fan page on facebook. I dashed off a quick message saying, something like, "Hey, I'm the girl from the car, earlier."

Darren contacted me. "Thanks for worrying about the paint job, but you really shouldn't have used your hand... you could have crushed it, and then I'd have been really upset!"

Danny Fragment, 1
Danny (my DG) and I were sitting on the porch of his house in my inner world. It was sunset and we had our guitars out with us. "I wish you would practice the guitar more, in waking life," Danny said.

Danny Fragment, 2
Danny, Darren and I were in this volcano-like cave. There were explosions and lava happening around us, and we were trying to get out. Darren was the one holding my hand.

August 7, 2010

Shed break-in
Had this dream in the first cycle of the night! These ones always impress me, for some reason. They're usually quite vivid for first-cycle dreams.

It's night time, and I was at work, monitoring the cameras. I had one camera feeding from a lot that was across the street from my building. I see these two guys in there try to attack this maintenance shed in the middle of the lot (DS = Watching people commit crimes). There are some expensive tools in there. They only attacked the shed door once though, so I guessed they weren't really serious about breaking into it, so I thought I would call the police non-emergency line to get them removed. However one of the tenants in the building distracted me from completing this task (I can't remember how).

Back to watching the cameras, for some reason, I couldn't get them to move, now, so I could get better views (DS = technology not working properly). I saw this orange glow coming from off to the side and I saw flashing lights. I wondered if there was a fire next door? I stepped outside to the sidewalk and noticed that it was just a very bright street light. One of my co-workers decides to go outside and patrol the parking lot, since we can't get the cameras moving, now.

I went back inside to fiddle with the cameras. I still could not get them to work, and I suddenly thought my co-worker has been outside for a really long time. I went outside to survey the lot. I got this bird's eye view, and saw those two guys from before, still there, and then I saw my guard lying on the ground, struggling to get back up. I watched, horrified, as one of the criminals stomped on my co-workers' chest and kicked him.

I shouted at them, and they saw me. "Oh, shit!" one guy said, once he realized they were being watched. I realized they saw me. They took off after me as I ran across the street, back to my building. I got inside the door just in time to put it between us, but I wasn't sure if I would be successful in locking it. Didn't matter, because the slamming shut of the door is what startled me out of my sleep.

Elise's house
I'm visiting with my friend, Elise. She has this awesome house in the middle of the woods. Most of the dream is just me hanging out there and nothing really happening. The house had large, tinted windows, and a glass door, also tinted. Inside, was all white walled and white furniture. It was, as I said, very awesome.

I remember leaving at some point and talking with Elise again later on. She mentioned this scary thing happened after I'd left. This bear came up to the front door and tried to attack her house.

August 6, 2010

School dance
I was sitting in school behind this guy I really liked. We were chatting about the dance coming up.

[Finding shoes]
I was at this store, trying to find shoes to go with my dress. i happened to be in my dress, at the time, and this was right before the dance. My dress was a light blue colour with a white filmy over-lay thingy.

Hillary and Norma
I was downtown, getting some food for lunch. i wanted to stop into this buffet place called Marcello's where I used to go when I worked for them.

I ran into Hillary and Norma (my former employers for the company I got really depressed while working at) on my way there, and they asked me how I was. i said was receptioning again, but it was for a radio station, so I was really happy.

In the shop
I was in the shop, and the cashier was lecturing me on eating good food. He asked me to guess his age and birth date. I observed his face and noticed very few lines, so I guessed he was 32. I was wrong, he was 39.

For the date, I blanked my mind and March 2nd screamed in my head. I asked him if I was right, and he was surprised and dismayed - I was right.

In hindsight, I wonder why my brain was obsessed with the number 32? I got his age wrong, but March 2nd is also 3/2...

August 4, 2010
Short entry today, running on 5 hours of sleep.

The set-up
I wasn't myself, but I was watching this first person. My mother had been killed. I'd heard that there was a plot to kick the ass of the suspected guy who did it, as he was still roaming free. I had my doubts it was him though. I remembered reading something, somewhere, that had cast this suspicion on my mind.

I'm standing at a fence and talking with my IWL mother (though she wasn't my mum in the dream, obviously). It's night time. She told me that the plot was to lure the guy to this site, next door. He was a security guard and his "company" had promised him $18.50/h to take on this new site, which is pretty top wage for a guard. He was all super excited about it.

He finally appears in my dream. He's dancing and singing on the other side of the fence. He keeps coming a little too close to me and it's freaking me out. Doesn't he have any idea who I am? He's suspected of killing my mother!! My WL-mum was disgusted with his behaviour.

Then, I saw people arrive. A good 10 of them. At first, they all started lining up at the fence (on his side, not ours). I saw a girl and recognized her as Nita, from my radio course. We did the old handshake my brother and I used to do (it's nothing elaborate. It's like a hand grasp, slide, finger grasp, fist bump). She tried to give me this, "Don't worry, he deserves this," look. I still had my doubts.

They started dragging him off into the building. "What the hell?" the guy started to say. They took him inside, and I could hear him shouting and I could hear them kicking and beating him. It was really awful to listen to "What if he IS innocent?" I kept thinking. "What if he's enduring this for nothing?"

"Mum, do you really think that this guy did it?" I asked.

"Yep, I absolutely do," my mum said. There wasn't a doubt in her mind he's getting his comeuppance, but it didn't make me feel any better about it.

I've acquired a new lucidity scale, so I can stop using misnomers like "semi-lucid." This scale is based on one developed by Ed Kelog.

Here it is

1/5 I realize that I dream, but continue to follow the dream "script"; no conscious choice.

2/5 I still follow the dream script (knowing that I dream), but I can make minor choices in keeping with dream reality. (This is where I know I'm dreaming, but I still have a plot to follow, and that's keeping me from really thinking things through and making my own conscious decisions as to what I want to do. I may transform into a dragon in order to kill puny fools blocking my path though, for example.)

3/5 I have the choice of following the dream script or not, can make major choices based on awareness of my potentialities in the dream state e.g. might choose to try a dream experiment instead of continuing the dream scenario, etc.

4/5 I'm fully aware that I dream and of the location and state of my physical body; also remember most knowledge from waking life, at least as it relates to goals that I had set for my lucid dreams.

5/5 I'm aware of myself as an integrated whole, at least on level with how I would be during a waking focus. Thinking, feeling, creating aspects of self are working as a unified whole. Extraordinary (even for dream reality) abilities and experiences often manifest.

Bravo? - Lucid - 1/5
Walked around telling dream characters how lucid I am and I'm dreaming right now... Yep. I remember holding a "My Magic Diary" that I was chatting to Naiya about last night. It, apparently, was my proof of lucidity.



Woke up at 5am for my WILD. Failed, because I was so tired I passed out.

The half-way house (work dream)
I had to do a shift at an old site of mine (a halfway house).

I got on site and forgot to check in with the staff. I went into "my room" and started watching TV. A couple of the clients were in there with me.

I needed to change into pajamas for some reason. I took my pants off and realized the guys were still in the room. I didn't move further, they got bored of me and left.

I decided to do a patrol and I realized I haven't checked in yet! I looked at my watch. 9:37 at night. Here's where it's confusing. Earlier, I thought my shift was supposed to be 6p-6a, but at this point, I thought it was 10-6. So I wasn't actually late. Anyways, I went down to the staff room and the girl was on the phone. I apologized for forgetting to check in, I just wanted to jump right into my work. She mentioned she was worried I hadn't shown and she was just trying to find shift coverage, but it's all cool.

Back to bed...

Haunted or scientific?
I was in a room in an old house. It wasn't any house of ours and I knew that, but I was impressed that the layout of the furniture was the same as an old room of mine.

I thought the room was haunted. I had this stuffed animal in hand and there was this weird air current over the bed. It was hard finding the balance, but I got the stuffed animal to hover on its own in mid-air. I left the room to get mum and brought her back to show her.

We got back in the room, and the stuffed animal had fallen over. I was disappointed but I attempted to set the animal back up. My mum explained the air current was coming from somewhere and that it wasn't haunted.

Got woke up by Jack's alarm...

FF7 like adventure
There was a DC boyfriend (we'll call him Colton). This theme carried throughout the dream. Just lots of kissy-face and flirting when we were in scenes together. But I can't remember tons of specifics about them.

A group needed to go into the depths of the earth to defeat the last boss (think FF7 where you keep having to travel downwards into the earth to fight Sephiroth). This group included Colton, but not me for some reason.

There was this big hole with light shining up in the middle of a room. They jumped down the hole, and I got to work on some scrolls at a table in the room. I wrote an incantation on the paper. Then I placed my hands on it and imbued it with light energy. I made up about 10 of them when the party jumped back up the hole. I imagined that someone in the party could toss the scroll in the air and they would be showered with golden healing light as the scroll dissolved.

The party emerged from the hole, looking defeated. One of the girls was nearly in tears, because this boss was very difficult.

"Hey, we're gonna need some scrolls," Colton says.

"Got them all ready for you!" I grinned.

Bambi the bunny
I was trying to clean our rabbit's cage, but I was having a lot of difficulties with this task. Every time I took the top off the cage, Bambi would escape! She's a bit of a terror around the house, IWL (I call her "Destructor" as her nickname).

Anyways, that's all this dream was about. Having issues with trying to keep the bunny from running around the house...

No WBTB attempts made today. Woke up at 2am, and found the BF was still awake and watching TV on my couch I didn't want him to know I'd woken up and he apparently didn't hear my alarm go off, so... I just rolled over and fell back to sleep

Random stuff - same dream
I was at a gym, working out. I was talking about something that was supposed to be impossible (I can't recall what, though).

I went outside and I saw this mini car (smaller than a smart car) get pulled into the back of a freight truck, via rope. The truck took off and the back wasn't closed, so the mini-car came tumbling out the back! I could see through the windshield that someone was inside the car! I could tell by the look on his face that this was an intentional stunt. However, he started puffing his cheeks out like he was going to vomit . This made me feel queasy, so I turned away.

I felt something very softly putting pressure on my back. I suddenly realized I was laying down on the ground, and that "pressure" was a car that had stopped (that nearly ran me over). I got up and assured the driver that I was already lying down, they didn't hit me.

I went inside this apartment building that had a spreadsheet on the wall. It was full of people advertising to sub-let their condos, monthly rent and conditions. All of the rentals were asking for upwards of $3,000/month. I sadly couldn't afford that, so I walked away.

I'm in yet another building, and my mum's complaining that the workers that were in here were disgusting. So many things in the basement are now coated in dried up sperm I decided to investigate. I encountered a long black hose connecting a sink to a wall... yep, that's all crusted I went into the washroom and saw more in a soap dish. As I woke up, I was saying "Ewwww!" over and over in the outro of the dream.
