dream fragment

A lame night of reading forums and watching my mum play warcraft.

I KNOW, RIGHT?

Decided to only go with 1.5hrs of sleep this morning. Partly out of stupidity, but maybe the REM re-bound will be awesome later for DEILD attempts, who knows?

So, what was interesting was to see just what the first 90 minute phase of sleep (thus, the first REM phase) was like, because I often don't recall it at all.

There wasn't any kind of substantial dream. It was really hazy/misty. I'm not sure if it's because my BF wouldn't leave me alone while I tried to sleep (you can take that for what you will! ), and thus I wasn't sleeping as deeply as I could have been...

I fell asleep thinking about the Beatles, so my hazy dream was basically an image of the Beatles. It was trying to take on a life of its own, but that part definitely couldn't because of boyfriend sabotage.

Took 3mcgs of melatonin at 8am. Went to bed at 9:30. I woke up around 1:30p to use the washroom and tried to focus on a goal to fall back to sleep with. Parents and boyfriend were making the ceiling creek above my head, which was causing me to stay awake. I'm beginning to wonder if I can't think about anything at all while I'm trying to fall back to sleep while I'm on melatonin. Two days now, I have only managed to fall back to sleep by doing some quiet-mind meditation.

Recall kind of blows today
Mostly just random scenes fused together. No plots. I didn't make any notes, so I'll just write what I can.

#1
I was standing at a train platform at night. This shady-looking guy with his hoodie pulled down low over his eyes comes onto the platform. The dream flashes and I'm sitting at my computer reading Raven's DJ. She wrote that she was attacking the guy, when I entered. She wrote that I transformed into Sailor Moon, but ultimately got deafeated because I got a little too cocky in my dream control skills (aren't as good as I thought they were, I guess!).

#2
On a train platform again. Things are not as they seem and keep turning/morphing into other things.

#3
A woman is blowing out car tires with a gun. She runs away. I'm a police officer, with my gun drawn, pursuing her.

That's all I got

Part One
12:45p-1:30p
Family Fragment
Vague recall involving myself and both my brothers (Mike and Roger). Setting took place in the bistro of my work, and I can't remember anything beyond that. I have a vague recollection that they were helping me with something.

Part Two
So, I got a call from my co-worker at 5pm this evening, telling me my night shift worker is in the hospital. I had another nap this evening so I could work tonight.

~8:00p-12:00a
I'm late for work!
False awakening. I got a call from Carissa (my co-worker) on my cell asking me where I am and why I haven't shown up yet. I had accidentally overslept into my shift tonight

Dreaming about lucidity
I flew onto an old ship, kind of like an old schooner or a pirate ship of some sort. I "realized" that I was dreaming and thought, "Yay, I'm having a lucid dream, I can do what I want!" I jumped off the ship into the water. I had another false awakening, recalling this dream and then falling back to sleep. At no point during this dream did I feel lucid. I think I was dreaming about having a lucid dream

Something boring
I couldn't recall really what happened when I woke up for real (to my alarm), but I recall standing in a hallway and not much happening.

June 14, 2010

I had low recall today. When I woke up, I RC’d for a FA. I remember slipping in and out of HI, and I checked probably about 5 times. Unfortunately, this was killing off the dreams I’d had.

I did some interrogation of myself on possible people who came up, but there wasn’t much else I could recall.

10:00a-4:30p
Music class
Darren was teaching a music class of about 10 of us, possibly a bit less. I remember us all sitting around a room with our instruments as he was instructing.

I also recall him sitting at the piano with me, teaching me a song, and I was leaning up against him

5:30a-10:45a
Murder possible
I was first person, but not me. I was a woman named Jayne, and I was reading a letter I found on the table. The hand-writing was a bit hard to read, but it was left for me by the man who planned to murder me. The general gist of the letter (which was very eloquently written) was that he’d been visiting my house and watching me for a while. This was one last way to feel closer to me. I realized that by the tone of the letter, the murderer could be anyone. More apt to be someone intelligent looking and trustworthy, rather than a thug. This stayed with me for the rest of the dream.

New Receptionist
I was at work, and Sonya was quitting. I was chatting with Bobbi (who didn’t look like herself), who was upset because there wasn’t time to train anyone new from scratch. I thought maybe we could work out a deal with my company, and I could apply? Bobbi loved the idea.

Underwater Camera
I was on a cruise ship, helping my dad (who was the captain) rig up this neat camera/screen. People could look through the screen, and see underwater as the ship passed over it. We fed it through the tube once, and I couldn’t really see anything through the screen. We would have to feed it again.

I sent the camera down the tube and watched it go down on the screen. I was lying on my stomache and it felt like I was going down a waterslide. I immediately became self-conscious, as I was leaving myself vulnerable to attack from the murder, who could be anyone, anywhere.

I left the ship to find out where the camera ended up. There was a shallow pool with soapy water for people to clean their feet off in. It was a nice park. I thought about anchoring the camera up on something, but then thought, “But if the camera is anchored, how is the ship supposed to sail?”

Throwing out some garbage
I was at some bins behind a Zellers, dumping some garbage. Someone joined me there. As I was walking away, I thought, “That could have been the murderer!” and started to jog. It felt very free, rather than the “water-legs” I often get.

1:00a-5:40a
Fragments

I got a phone call from Kirby (one of the office-bosses… there’s a lot of tiers of management in this company) asking me to do a project. He gave me a list of Scottish family names, and I had to do some research on their origins (I would SO enjoy this, if I really got assigned to do this at work. It’s not a security company kinda thing, though).

I was supposed to accompany Mum on some shopping down the hill, but I also had to start work at 5pm. I took a long time getting ready to leave the house (it was already 2pm, and usually I start getting ready for work by 3pm), and I was feeling a bit panicked over making mum wait, shopping, and getting ready for work. I was afraid that if I went out, I would forget to get myself to work. And I have terrible amnesia in dreams.

5:40a-9:10a

Something about camping with a co-worker. Can't remember much else, cos I kept falling asleep between 9-10am. I managed to chain the camping element into each new dream, but it's all fuzzy now.
