NON DREAM DREAM LUCID

A big old collection of dream fragments. Really, I'm too lazy too type out a lot of the details, but...whatever.

I'm in a big movie theater with my family. We kind of get separated and do our own thing for what feels like forever. Finally, we meet up again at a certain point, and my mom says, "Wow! It's already 7:30 am, we've been here all night!" to which I say, "Oh, we should go to a movie right now! Let's go see Harry Potter! Please?". My mom seems to consider this for a moment, but I'm pretty sure she never agrees.

And the dream switches.

I'm at my dad's house. I guess we have a new neighbor, because they have a son. He's just a little boy, probably around a year old. He comes over and keeps stealing our food, but we don't care because he's adorable. Then he's terrified to come in our house, because he finds out about our big dog, even though he's a gentle giant.

Dream switch. Woohoo.

I'm at this university, which I guess is supposed to be based off of Hogwarts though it has nothing to do with magic and takes place in my driveway. We have a headmaster, though. Who is no other than Tony DiNozzo from NCIS, my favorite show. He's kind of strict and never cracks a smile, but we all adore him anyways. Then, we get a new headmaster that everyone hates. I can't tell you exactly who she was, but I do remember she was a dork. Like, mom jeans, giant thick framed glasses, nasal spray, the whole package. We all hate her because she's so mean, so me and the other students pull endless pranks on her until she leaves and Tony comes back. The headmasters always sit in this really tall highchair thing at the head of my driveway.

Another switch.

I'm in this giant place, and it's kind of like a tricked out Chuck E. Cheese's. I realize I was placed there in an undercover op, because I guess I have to extract some information. I had to pretend to be a dork (seriously, what's with the whole dork thing?) and I had to get information from the most popular girl there. Who turns out to be my mom. Yup. My mom. Anyways, so, all the other people there are...colorful. I don't really know how to describe it. There were blue people, red people, green people, and yellow people. They were kind of like gameboard pieces...but alive. I don't know.

Anyways, so I walk up to my mom and start talking to her, but I don't remember what I said. She laughs at me.

Switchity-switch.

Once more, I'm in my driveway. There's a big green couch (not the first time I've dreamt of this couch...but I've never seen it in real life. Hmm.) and I'm sitting on it with some of my friends. Also on the couch are, again, Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David from NCIS. Now, if you watch NCIS, you know that Tony & Ziva are meant to be together...even if they don't know it. TIVA! Okay, sorry. So, anyways, my friends and I keep gushing about how adorable of a couple they'd make, blah blah, and Tony keeps getting so mad at us. Then after a while, for whatever reason, they both fall asleep next to each other. And it's adorable. Because...oh, it just was. So then I'm like, "C'mon, just look at them! Why doesn't Tony just admit he loves her?" and he jolts awake because he somehow heard me and said, "Stop it! I don't love her! Leave me alone!" and he starts pouting. And I just roll my eyes and say, "Denial."

...right. So that's mostly, like I said, a bunch of dream fragments. But you get the gist. It was a weird dream.

By the way, I think I'm going to refer to that couch that keeps popping up in my dreams as the cuddle couch. Because that's what always seems to happen when it's around.

NON DREAM DREAM LUCID

Right, so, this dream is mostly bits and fragments of one really long dream. There aren't really any transitions into other dreams, more like transitions into other sections of the same dream.

I'm at my mom's house. My mom's friend, M, comes over with her new pets...originally, she has 6 puppies, but throughout the dream they keep switching from puppies to kittens. I can't pinpoint exactly where, when, or how many times this happens.

Anyways, so, there are three sets of matching puppies. I remember there being two brown bulldog looking puppies, and they were ADORABLE. So, one of the bulldog puppies was an escape artist. I had to tie him up on a leash in the garage or else he would run away. I remember the leash being pale ice green in color. Somehow I had forgotten about this puppy, and during all the other events of the dream, he had just been sitting there.

When I went out to go check on him, he was gone. Crap. So, I run out of my garage and look across the street, where I see a glimpse of brown fur running under my neighbor's car. I run to their driveway and I see the daughter sitting with a couple of her friends. I ask, "Have you seen a small brown puppy running around anywhere?", to which one girl says, "Yeah, he's off playing with Luna."

Luna is the neighbor's dog, and sure enough, there they are. I quickly snatch the bulldog puppy and walk back to my garage, once more tying him up.

Again, some more of the dream passes, until I once more go to check on the puppy. And again, he's gone. I'm annoyed, because I don't want to have to go and ask the girls across the street again if they've seen the puppy. Turns out I don't have to, because I see the dog prancing around in the middle of the street. In real life, the walking distance isn't that far to where the dog is, but in dream life, the distance seems like forever. The dog is oblivious to the oncoming traffic, of course. Down the street (which is also stretched out much much further than it actually is) is a small black car.

I know that the car will see the puppy and won't hit him, but part of me is worried that it won't stop. I try to run towards the dog, but I have an extreme aching pain in my leg and my vision is blurred.

Thankfully, though, the dog turns out to be some other random dog (it was an Aussie) and the puppy is actually at the house.

Yup. So, that's all I remember. Apart from the puppies occasionally transforming into silver tabby kittens, there wasn't really anything too strange or out of the ordinary.

Just a note, I used a new method that I read about in the DV forums where you tap your head and visualize lucid energy flowing into your brain for about a minute or two. While it didn't give me lucidity, after I tried it, I did have one of the longest dreams I've had in a while. So...maybe I'll keep trying? I got nothing to lose...

NON DREAM DREAM LUCID

Well, I was really hoping for a lucid last night...instead, I think I only got semi-lucid. In fact, now that I think back, it didn't feel that strong or vivid at all and I didn't have much control, but I still had awareness.

In the beginning of the dream, as far as I can remember, I was sitting in this giant outdoor food courtyard with my dad, brother, and sister. We were sitting at a cement like bench table. It was dark outside. Suddenly, a giant blue and white bus drives by. My dad points out, "That looks like a Russian bus. Gotta watch out for those." As we're sitting there, we're gradually noticing more and more of those blue and white buses drive by, and they're starting to drive into the courtyard. I ask, "What's happening? Why do they keep coming over here?", to which my dad replies, "Well, this is definitely gonna be in the news."

The dream switches. Now I'm sitting in my bed as if I had just woken up, so I guess it was a false awakening. Like I usually do every morning, I perform a reality check, and I'm surprised to find that I could kind of still breathe through my nose, although it was plugged. I'm even in denial, because this false awakening feels so much like reality. But after a few more RCs, I verify that I'm dreaming.

I tell my mom, who for some reason is standing at the end of my bed, "Yes! I'm dreaming!", and she just laughs at me like I just told the funniest joke.

I had remembered in real life wanting to find a wand and try out some Harry Potter spells, so I jump out of bed, and begin trying to make a wand appear. For some reason my dad was there, at my Mom's house, and he's sitting on the floor. I tell him, "I can get a wand and do magic tricks!", and he says, very matter-of-factly, "Ha, no you can't." I say, "Yes I can, watch!"

I begin searching my pockets and even my pant legs to try and imagine a wand being there. I guess lucidity is beginning to fade at this point, because I randomly burst out, "It's an exclusive Adam Sandler collectible wand." And guess what? I proved my dad wrong by finding this wand, although I'm not sure what it had to do with Adam Sandler at all. It was just a pen...

I say, "See! I told you! Adam Sandler is in my pants!", which, of course, causes me to absolutely crack up, because it was such a 'That's what she said' moment. My dad laughs, too.

Anyways, so I walk out to my living room, confident that it would work. I take the wand, just to notice it had now transformed into a strawberry. This doesn't stop me from trying to cast spells, though. So, there I am, shouting out things like "STUPEFY!" and "IMMOBULUS!", pointing a strawberry at my family members. They laugh at me, and I laugh along.

Now the lucidity had pretty much faded, and I woke up. I'm angry at myself that I didn't try and stabilize it when I had the chance. Grr. I should have eaten that strawberry!

NON DREAM DREAM LUCID

I dreamt that there was a girl who was skateboarding down the street. She was kind of a nerd in school, and people picked on her a lot. Well, she was going down the street, minding her own business. Suddenly, enter the bully....Ace Ventura.

He starts mocking her or whatever, and she gets pretty pissed off. She shoves Ace into a doorway, and then I walk up to help her. We keep shoving him, and it turns into this game. Suddenly, everyone is...happy.

The dream changes. Now I'm standing at this really nice pool at someone's mansion, and there's a huge party. I forgot who I was with, but I know there was a group of villains that were plotting something. I felt that I had to stop them before they achieved their goal.

The dream changes once more, but now, I'm standing inside my kitchen. The villains are still there, and they're plotting evil things. There's a giant, plain cake with no icing or anything sitting on the ground. Someone, I forget who, but I know it was an important figure, like a celebrity, had taken a huge bite out of it, and he was scolded for it.

To figure out what the villains were planning, I had to pretend to be one of them. I walked up to the three of them, and stood there, as if I was also evil. They just continued their conversation, but as close as I was standing to them, I couldn't hear what they were saying. Oh well. I knew what they were planning wasn't that bad or serious anyways. Actually, I think it had something to do with stealing the cake.

Anyways, even though I was in my kitchen, I knew the time period was different. It was taking place in the Old West. I knew this mostly because my friend H was there. She was dressed as a saloon bartender, cleaning dishes at the counter. Since H was technically from the past, I'd decided I would tell her about the "future," aka the present.

I was telling her all these interesting facts. I don't remember all the things I said, but I do know that I said "Oh yeah, and we have the first black president, so that's pretty cool." When I said that, she spun around and stared at me, saying "And what do you think about that?". I was very confused by her question, and I said, hesitantly, "it's...fine?"

There was more, I know, but that's all I remembered. It was an interesting dream, to say the least. I wish it had been lucid, because that's what I was aiming for, but there's always tonight, too.

NON DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am standing in the hallway of my school and I see Mr. Moesby from the show Suite Life On Deck. He and I are upset that we can't get into this one school club (can't remember what it was for) because we don't qualify. But then, Moesby gets in, because he has gray hairs. I somehow also get in the club, along with my friend C. C and I are sitting in this classroom with a bunch of older people as part of the club. As I'm sitting in a desk in the back of the room, I notice a hole in the ground. Inside, I see a big group of chipmunks trying to get through, because they also wanna be part of this exclusive club. There is a groundhog (though he looks more cartoonish) trying to hold them off.

Soon, C and I realize how lame this club really is. We switch back to our old class, which was my 5th hour. Me and C are now sitting on the ground in front of the classroom waiting to go inside, but we can't because there is a green net covering the doorway. Inside is my friend M, who says no one else can come inside because she still needs to change. As we're sitting there, I realize that C and I forgot to bring any of our supplies to class, and we both only have a pencil. As I look inside the classroom, I see the art teacher setting up a bunch of cupcakes on a clear plastic cupcake display thing.

I decided that since there was still some time left before class started, I would go to the bathroom. I walk down the hallway and find a bathroom way at the end of the hall, which was never there before. I walk inside, and I have to walk up these steps to get to the one toilet in the room. The toilet is just sitting there in the middle of the room. There is no stall. There is also a bathtub. As I shut the door behind me, a boy named J runs inside and crouches behind the door. I say, "Really? The girl's bathroom, J?" But he ignores me. It's obvious that he's on the run and he's hiding from somebody. I just say, "Well, don't look, then, because I have to use the bathroom." He can't see from where he is, anyways.

I sit down to go to the bathroom, and I do. I even remember thinking, oh, I hope this doesn't mean I'm going to the bathroom in real life! (This isn't the first time I've made a reference to lucid dreaming in my dream, without realizing that I was actually dreaming! Grr, very frustrating!) I'm all done going to the bathroom, but that's when I realize the bathroom has no ceiling, so anyone on the second floor can see down on me. Of course, that's when a ton of people crowded around the edge and started staring at me. I yelled at them to go away so I could leave without them staring at me. But of course they didn't go anywhere.

Suddenly, one kid, called K, jumped down into the bathroom and landed in the bathtub, and everyone is momentarily distracted by him. I take it as an opportunity to jump up and get the heck outta there. I'm walking down the hall and back to my classroom. As I enter, it seems like no one had even noticed I was missing, even though the class was very close to over. I walk up to my art teacher who is still there for some reason, because I see her carrying a tray with the remaining 4 cupcakes. I ask her if I can have one because I haven't had one yet.

She says, "Oh, you haven't had seconds or thirds? Here, take 2 cupcakes!" I only took one cupcake, for some reason. It had hot pink frosting, sprinkles, and an aluminum wrapper. I ate it in a few quick bites, but then I was covered in icing and crumbs and I was very sticky. I walked out of the room to try and find a drinking fountain to rinse off.

I woke up. I immediately checked to make sure I hadn't wet the bed. I didn't. WHEW!

NON DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm sitting at the dinner table with my family, when I suddenly and randomly become lucid. Thinking back, I'm sure I wasn't fully lucid, but whatever. I stand up from the table and ask to be excused, so I can go explore my dream world. Everyone at the table (including Ernie from George Lopez who is just randomly there) is very encouraging and say "Yes! Yes, go explore! Go on!" with smiles on their faces. I walk down the hallway and enter my room. I see a kitten with a piece of Scotch tape holding up on the wall. The kitten quickly breaks free from the flimsy little piece of tape and darts past me and out of my room. I remember the kitten being a bit big, and it was brown tabby and white. I try to pet the kitten, but it's too fast and dashes away.

I shrug it off and I'm now standing in the middle of my room. I decide that since closing my eyes and willing my surroundings to change doesn't usually work, I'll try something new. I try to create a vortex to jump through on my bed. It comes out as a blue and pink swirled circle. I crawl onto my bed and attempt to jump through it, but it doesn't work. It was like I was still standing on solid ground.

I randomly lose lucidity for a little while. I hear an announcer's voice shouting, "How will she choose to get through the vortex?" and I see different buttons with pictures of stick figures jumping through a vortex. I think it's all a games, and I press a random button. Everything goes black for little while, and I'm suddenly on the set of Whose Line Is It Anyway. (It's an old comedy sketch show. If you don't know what it is, google it. You'll laugh your butt off.) I realize the announcer's voice belonged to Drew Carey, the host of Whose Line. I see Ryan Stiles dressed as a wedding groom, blindfolded. Suddenly, Wayne Brady appears and he's dressed as a Wookie. Ryan had to try and guess what Wayne was. Oh, I don't know.

The dreamscape abruptly changes to my front porch. It's nighttime. I realize I'm dreaming again. My dad is sitting on the porch chair, looking at me and laughing. I faintly acknowledge my brother and sister playing in the yard. I try to read my hand to see what it says, because I write things on my hand in real life for this kind of thing. I can't, though, because my dad is desperately trying to distract from doing so, by poking me and waving his hands in front of my face. I finally break away from him, though, and realize my hand says "MISSING" with a box drawn around it, and some words underneath that I couldn't quite make out.

I wake up. That was a weird dream.
