Short Stories with Tragic Endings

I am on the edge of a forest and there are a few of my friends around me. There is guy a with
bright red hair that somewhat resembles a joker or an elf or something standing up front. He is
supposed to be Hagrid I think. He shows us this furry little rat. I forget what it did but somehow
it multiplied and you could make an army out of them. I was thinking about army rats when
the dream ended.

I've had a similar dream before. But I remembered more...
I am in some sort of airport terminal and I am trying to find a BZFlag map I created several years ago.
Don't ask me why I'm looking for it in an airport, but the map was pretty awesome. I'm walking
around for a little bit and I get a message from my crush on my phone. I forget what she said but after
sending messages back and forth, I called her and was suddenly in the kitchen at my house. This didn't
phase me and I just went on. I asked her if she wanted to help me study. She eventually agreed then
the dream ended.

I am in some sort of hotel with a bunch of friends and I am looking for my crush.
I do reality checks so much now that I often do them just to do them, this is the case
here. I do a reality check just to see if I'm dreaming, nothing prompted me. I don't
think I'm dreaming but I try to put my finger through my palm anyway. To my astonishment,
it works. I become lucid for a few seconds walk around the hallway. I think, hey "This
brings my lucid count to 3!". Wrong, its 2. Later, the lucidity faids just as soon
as it started and so does the dream.

I am standing at an unfamiliar staircase in what is supposed to be my house.
I am with my family and a guy I do not know comes up with a gun. I pull out a
gun as well and essentially start having a shootout with him. We start out in the
hall way then he runs down the steps. I follow and we are in some sort of
basement. I see him and start shooting, I am using an airsoft gun and so is he.
I chase him around the basement for a while and my clip runs out. I don't really
reload it or anything I just cock back the slide and it seems to have a full mag.
Every now and then a lever pops out of the gun, like a lever action pump, and I
have to fiddle around with the gun for a few seconds to get it back in working order.
Eventually, I somehow manage to get the other guy's gun and I chase him out. I
then start after my brother for some reason and we start fighting. We go around the
basement for a while and I then come to the corner I was at before and notice I only
have one gun. I think, "Where did I put that?". I look for it briefly but then abandon
my search and go after my brother again. After a while I see him and apparently he
had found my other gun. We exchange fire for a while then the dream ends

Me and two other people ( one guy and one girl ) are in a house, investigating
something I think. There is a particular room in question that we are going to search.
It is a small room. The three of us searched the room in turn and had some sort of
bet going to see who could find the most expensive quantity of what could only be
described as loot. I was the first to go. I don't remember what I got, but then the girl
went and found every single stone/jewel in the place. After she was done the dream
shifting to her sitting at the table with me standing there watching as she was examining
the gems going through each one scrutinously with the masterful skill of a jeweler. She
knew everything about each of the jewels and thew several away because they were fakes.
I remember her saying something about each one but I don't remember what it was. Next
the guy went. He reminded me of a friend from high school, Dave. He went through the
room and I seem to remember him finding a go-kart. A short while later, the dream
ended.

I am in a classroom at college and the teacher is my high school freshman science
teacher. A mix of friends from high school and from college are in my class. We are
working on something then class ends and I leave. I don't remember what happened
after that. The next thing I remember I am back in the classroom and it is time to turn
in the assignment and the teacher is not satisfied with my work and decides to fail me.
I protest but the dream ends and I go into my next dream

I am in my high school's band room, the lights are off but there are a bunch of
people there including me, my high school band director, and my crush. We were
setting up some sort of sound system and eventually we came to a part where we
didn't have the right piece. my band director said it was at his home. My crush told
him she would call his son and have him bring it. ( My band director doesn't have any
children ). After feeling jealous for some reason, I woke up

I am in a building that is laid out pretty much the same as my high school music wing.
According to the dream however, it was Millersville. It was an indoor practice and we had
just gotten a break so we left the room we were practicing in which was for some reason
the choir / orchestra room of my high school. I'm doing something with my friend Sarah,
from college, but I don't remember. I see another one of my friends in the hallway outside
my high school's band room, still supposedly Millersville University, and he shows me these
playstation controllers and we play a game where we have to use something on the controller
to pick the buttons out of the opponent's controller and the person who loses all his buttons
first loses... It was strange but then we started playing and at closer look the L and R buttons
turned out to be razor heads. I said "This probably isn't a very good idea." but kept playing
anyway. I was winning by far, I guess I was good at it. Each time I beat him, I would take the
controller he had and throw it into a pile and he would grab another. Eventually I had exhausted
all of the controllers and won by far. I then went to the window on the door of the band room
and see the orchestra practicing. I wonder why they are rehearsing in the band room and walk
away from the door and the dream ends.

I haven't been getting to bed as early as I should so my
dream recall is really suffering

I am in a dorm room but it is much different from mine. The dream tells me it is mine.
I am doing something on my computer and check the clock "12:08". I realize I was supposed
to meet some friends for lunch at 12 ( In waking life ). So I went to leave in a hurry so I could
get to the universities dining hall when my roommate comes in and says he wants to show me
something. I tell him to make it quick and he comes around to my computer. I go around with him
and attempt to hide it because, for some reason, my desktop background is switching through
some very explicit images. They are all pink backdrops. My roommate doesn't seem to care so
I blow it off like "yeah, that's my desktop". He pulls out his computer and starts pulling up some
web-page while I played with a clear plastic sphere filled with metal balls. Then I woke up.

I woke up and could only remember a very slight bit of the
dream but not enough to even write down keywords

I hit the transition to Sleep Paralysis!!!!!!
But the experience was so intense and I accidentally moved!
Damnit!

Anyway so here's the story:
I laid down for yet another WILD attempt I had stretched, cleared
my mind, and gotten all ready. So I laid down and started focusing
on my breathing and the canvas that was the back of my eyelids.
I couldn't seem to get anything as far as visual goes for the
hypnagogics. But eventually I started getting my auditory. At first
it was just the usually tones and shit. Then I got a really freaky one.
It was a female voice, middle-aged. She said "Lay down, you need to
sleep" over and over. It was creepy. But I was patient. I then got
a really bright light in my right peripheral as if there was some light on
my night stand. It looked like an external light. That lasted for a while and
finally. I then got a hypnagogic smell. I smelled rotten eggs in the room
and thought "god what is that?" but every time I try to smell to get a better
whiff of it, it went away. A short while later, I felt my entire body go tense.
It was indescribable. My heart started pounding very loudly and fast. It
resonated through my entire body. Every muscle in my body was as tense
as could be. Then I accidentally moved from the intensity so my body said
"hey, you're not asleep. Fuck you" and feeling rushed back to every limb, although the
"vibrations"( I assume were what I was describing as my massive heartbeat ),
were still going. I tried for a while then realized that I had failed and got up.
I did a RC which passed I had indeed failed.

my first lucid dream!
I am at home in the upstairs bathroom. I am just standing there and suddenly I think, "Wait
shouldn't I be at college?". The term "Reality Check" pops into my mind. I decide to try the
finger/palm reality check. I push my right index finger into the center of my left palm. At first,
I think the reality check is passing because my finger is buckling under the force that I'm pushing
at my palm. but then I look at the back of my left hand and notice the tip of my finger coming
through. I push more, there is a lot of resistance but I manage to get my finger through my
palm. I become excited. "I am dreaming." I think to myself. Immediately, everything becomes
quite vivid. I take notice of this then say to myself with a smile on my face. "I am having a lucid dream...
I am finally having a lucid dream!". I think "What should I do?". I realize it is night-time in my dream
so some of the things I remember speculating about to myself during waking life will not work. In the
end, I decide to call my crush. I go downstairs, pushing my finger through my palm every now and then
just for the hell of it. I get to the dining room. The light is on and my parents are there but it is around
10:00 at night so I am confused as to why they would be awake. It is a dream though, after all. I push my
finger through my palm one more time and this time move it around a bit. I am so fascinated! I feel my
Dad may attempt to stop me from leaving the house though so I try to leave discretely. I grab my pumas
and go into the game room which is always dark when the light is off and kind of out of the way. So I start
putting my shoes on and my Dad goes out the door. I start tieing my shoes and realize that they are huge.
The tongue is massive and the laces are those thin round laces that never stay tied. They look somewhat
similar to Osiris's which I am not really a fan of. I continue tieing them but before I can finish the dream ends.
I wake up and think... "Did I just have a lucid dream?"

Yes... yes I did. But it was somewhat disappointing. Oh Well, next time

I was visiting Millersville University with my parents ( Before I started going there ), and my dad had to pay this
security guard for parking. So He parks and the guard comes over and my dad takes out a wad of cash and starts
flipping through hundreds. He hands the guard something like $300 and we get out. It wasn't any parking lot at
MU though. It looked more like the parking lot at the Philadelphia Art Museum. Anyway, we go to some Computer
Science demonstration, as I am a Computer Science major, and it is a little fuzzy after that but my dad was asking
the professors a bunch of questions ( as he did when I actually was visiting college campuses ), then we go back
to the car and get in. The security guard comes over and my Dad starts talking to him like a well known friend. He
hands him another $300 or so and the dream ends.
I wake up and look at the clock. It is 3:30 AM so I go back to sleep.

Another night with no recall :'(
