Just a couple fragments today... I'm probably adjusting to my new mattress or something.

The first fragment involved me in this jumbled-up area... I remember being outside as part of the fragment I remember, perhaps in a baseball field? I dunno, except that it felt like it was near a school, and I find some really past-due paperwork in the grass, or something. What the paperwork is for, I'm not sure. That's literally all I have for this fragment.

The second fragment, on the other hand, doesn't feel like I'm involved at all... just observing. It feels more like I'm watching someone else's dream. And it almost seems like THEY might be lucid, but of course I'M not lucid. Heh... Anyways, there's a guy there that I believe strongly resembles the knight motif, and he has two companions. One seems to be... incorporeal or something, and the other is hurt. So this heroic knight volunteers to go into this cave, or building, or whatever, alone. And then most of the stuff here is forgotten, unfortunately. But it seems he was valiantly successful, and I see him curing his hurt friend with some magic he found, or something. Again, very, very blurry. I hope my normal recall comes back in a couple days.

Okay, after a night of lost sleep my dreams definitely become more interesting. Of course, my recall isn't any better... I only remember this one dream.

There's a building here that basically is an apartment building. It has 4, or 5 floors depending on how you look at it. People only live on the first 3, though. Now, where my recall picks up, me and a group of other people are in this building, trying to help people out. The only person that I'm pretty sure was with me was Silver... the rest are fuzzy. We'd come in on the third floor somehow... through a fire escape or something. This building, I should mention, is much larger than your average apartment building. It's more like an office complex with dozens of apartments on each floor. Also, all the hallways are internal, which is important for the plot of the dream. The reason we broke in on the third floor is that the entire building seems to be flooding, for some reason. There's a thin layer of water across the third floor... hardly enough to be a threat, but it implies that the first two floors of the building are completely underwater! Our group starts to split up, and fan out over the whole floor, warning people of what's going on. The general process here is very fuzzy, and I don't remember any specific faces... but eventually we warn everyone on the floor.

Now, our next job is to get to the higher floors, to speak to the person in charge. The stairway to the fourth floor is locked, so I pull out a keychain that I got from somewhere (it looks just like my keychain IRL) and try all of the keys until one of them works. Then I unlock the door and lead our group in. This fourth floor is essentially just a lobby area... with a mix of officials and non-officials here. Nobody seems bothered by the fact that we essentially just broke in. Now, what the officials are doing here is "guarding" the person who's in charge. This person has some mysterious level of power... people respect him more than a CEO, less than some kind of god... but it's implied that he's somewhere between the two. In any case, he has a LOT of power, and almost certainly knows what's going on already. We just want to bring it to his attention again and ask why he's not doing anything. The officials on this floor don't let just anyone see him, of course... there's all sorts of screening and regulations going on, to make sure that nobody who would want to harm him would get too close.

Here I have a vague flash of pseudo-lucidity... part of me decides that the paperwork stuff is far too boring, and if I just "fade out" for a bit, I can skip it. Somehow this logic works, so I have no memory of the paperwork, but I know it's done. It's also been long enough that we know we are trusted to see the guy in charge. Now we just need to wait. I look around and, for whatever reason, see Sonic and Knuckles logos on things like soda fountains. To my addled brain, this is proof that they trust us... those logos are supposed to be representative of me and Silver some how. I should probably mention that I think only the two of us are going to meet this guy... the rest of the group is milling around, but it was decided that a large group would be too intimidating and security would never allow it. Unfortunately I wake up before we get to meet this guy.

Ok, so I've got a jumbled mess of dreams again. Hopefully, eventually, I can regain a more cohesive dream memory.

In this first dream, there's this large, wide open field area that we're running around in. I'm with a large group of people, though I don't remember who any of them are. The main thing I remember is that we're playing some sort of game, running around and collecting things for points. I'm not entirely sure what the deal is with this, but in the dream it's simply having fun. That is, until the dream suddenly takes a darker turn. Apparently I have been sentenced to the guillotine... for some reason. I don't remember why, and it's obviously unjust because there's a supposed way out. Someone, whom I can only give identity to as "Robin Hood" has presented me with this odd slip of paper that, just by having it on me, will somehow open a way for me to escape when the time comes. On the other hand, it's critically important that I don't lose it... and I seem to come awfully close several times. I fiddle with it, drop it, hastily pick it back up, and so on. Eventually I slip it between the seams of one of my sneakers, which is falling apart. This dream ends well before I actually get stuck in the guillotine, so who knows what that paper was supposed to do.

In the second dream, I'm on a cruise ship, or something. And, even though I don't really see them during the dream, I get the feeling that... the Chipmunks are on board somewhere. (Sigh. Yes, my friends made me watch all 3 chipmunk movies a few weeks ago. And I guess it's stuck.) Anyway... we're on a cruise ship, and it seems to be a little tough finding something to actually eat. Plus, the people on board (and we're all in mostly the same area... I guess it's a very small cruise ship) are getting a little rowdy with each other. It seems that one of the people has bad food poisoning, like Salmonella, and they're all telling him to stay away, hoping not to get sick themselves. I think this sick person is the "bad guy", Ein. And that's about all I remember for that.


Blah. It's good that I have some dream recall, but where are the exciting, lucid dreams? Ah well...

I've got a long, strange, jumbled dream to try to remember this morning. This will be messy, but here goes...

The first part that comes to mind (I don't remember the order things happened in anymore) is that I'm with someone in this almost labyrinthine place... I think it's family, but then what happens wouldn't make much sense. It's as though we are staking out the area, finding useful items here and there. The only part I remember with any clarity is that there's a "Basement" or something underneath the maze-like building. It's got a bunch of bats, some of which I slash and kill like it's an old video game (The view even becomes 2D for this part). But more importantly there's a random shower head sticking out of the ceiling, so I could shower if I wanted to. I kinda remember laying there, fully clothed, and letting it drench me... It would also be a safe place to sleep after clearing out the bats, and I remember excitedly sharing this with... whoever I'm with.

The second part is still a mess, but it's clear for this one that I'm with family. In this case I'm grabbing whatever random food items look good and throwing them in the microwave together to heat them up. This includes what look like quesadillas and one random like... chinese chicken puff or something? I dunno. I remember that things were going horribly wrong when I tried to heat up the food. For example, gravy would come pouring out of the quesadillas and drench everything else. My little brother is laughing at what's going on, and also wonders why I picked out the chicken puff because according to him, it was kept as sort of a last resort type of food and wouldn't taste very good. It's hard to explain. I remember being annoyed about my microwave failures, but somewhere in my head I knew I could "reload" or "go back in time" to fix it. Yet I didn't become lucid. I also remember thinking/reading about something terrible that could go wrong, where this cold, toxic blue stuff the microwave was using could spew out of this hose sort of thing, contaminating all my food. (Yeah, I'm confused too) The last thing from this part of the dream I remember is being on a road trip somehow. The vehicle I was using I wasn't sure of, but my dad and little brother are there on the side of the road, roughly halfway along the trip, though I don't remember any of the travel time. They have some stands up or something, trying to raise money by selling food. They're mostly empty but they have some cookies there and I can't resist stopping to grab a couple.

Finally, the third random part, with no connection to the others. For some reason, it involves (sigh...) The Little Mermaid. (I blame my recent playthrough of Kingdom Hearts 2 and its dumb Atlantica level...) Anyway, it's as if things are taken back in time and represented as some sort of lame teenage TV show. I'm nowhere in this dream fragment, just observing. But both Ariel and this random... kid are definitely teenagers. They were apparently derping around like teenagers do, and they had gotten in a fight, boy tries to act "cool" etc... standard drivel. But the only part I really remember is them both ya know, swimming out in the ocean, and the boy saying, "Well you better be sorry... because, I'm inviting you to my sister's 50th birthday party." Yes, "Sister" and "50th birthday". I don't think about it too much. xD

That's honestly it. I probably could have gotten away with calling it three separate dreams, but I don't know either way.

Two dreams again today. And once again, the first dream blurs the lines between dream or memory. It involved playing Soul Nomad. I was messing around with formations, and my main character was horribly OP. Which... all basically happened yesterday, so I'm not sure how much was dream and how much was memory. But there you have it. xD

In the second dream, I was on the Dreamviews site. I had become a local moderator or something, and I was watching this one subforum that all just-registered users were stuck in. Essentially, they could only post in that forum, until they answered a question that I posed to them. It was sort of like a super Captcha. It's kind of very silly, and I'm glad such a thing doesn't exist in real life. It's pretty draconian technology to try to keep bots away. xD And... yeah, that's all for today.

I remember two dreams today... well, sort of. It's hard to distinguish these between dreams and just stuff I was thinking about in a half-awake state. But I'm assuming they're dreams.

The first one, since I was silly and read the fetish thread right before bed, is about that. I don't remember a lot of the details, because when I had this one I'd only been asleep for an hour or so. What I can say is that I was mostly remembering stuff I'd read in the thread. For some reason, Wolfwood stood out in this dream, and not somebody like Alyzarin. xD Let's see... I guess I was imagining a few of them, even though I don't have any of them as fetishes. I remember thinking it would be cool, in a non-sexual manner, if I was much larger than everyone else. That's about all.

This second dream is kind of jumbled and weird. Most of it is like some sort of weird game, and I'm running around talking to people. There's a rule in this game that says I can only talk to each person three times in total. If I don't get the information or item I need from them after 3 tries, then it's tough luck for me, and I lose. It's pretty bizarre, and I remember running around frantically. Then there's a part of the dream that's a little easier to follow, where I'm with my family again. At least two separate times my dad buys us a bunch of sweets, several boxes worth of different candy bars. And every time, I get to have one, while my little brother eats every other sweet at an inhuman speed. It would be literally impossible to do that. In the dream I'm pretty annoyed with him, but now I just find it very amusing. What a pig he was! XD
