This dream begins at college. It's somewhat like the college I went to for a brief time. I am studying computer science (which is what I did in real life). It's the first day and people are getting orientated. There is some confusion amongst the staff with my application. Apparently I had been there before and was re-entering at a level above. The confusion is eventually sorted out. I see a girl there that I kind of like.

I later find myself in the computer lab next to the girl. She's one of the very few girls in class. I slowly become more and more impressed with her. We are all supposed to use some really obscure form of Linux and she seems to know her way around it better than anyone in class. She's entering some stuff in the terminal that I don't fully understand and finishes the assignment pretty quickly. I partly learned what to do by watching her, so I finish not too long after. It was not very complicated, it's just that the teacher was terrible and not making it clear what commands we were meant to enter. Just knowing them made it easier.

Anyway, I leave class thinking this girl is pretty amazing. She was really cute too. She didn't look like the typical nerdy computer science girl, nor did she look "hot"; just a short normal looking blonde girl.

We fast forward some time later (maybe a week). There is a college party going on, but it's not your typical party. It takes place at a huge lake with a marina. Everybody is swimming in the lake and having fun. There are a couple boats out in the lake, but not many. A super long dock spans across the entire lake. It's not straight; it has many turns in it. It's very narrow; only wide enough for one person to walk unless you squeeze by. Everybody is walking up and down it, trying to find the best place to dive in. It bobs up and down because it's supported by floats. Some people are just sitting on it and chilling.

Now the strange thing about this situation is there is some type of project going on in the water. It's like people are having to re-direct the water somewhere because of a problem. I don't fully understand what it is, but a lot of people are putting things in the water to fix it. It's a fun problem though, nothing serious. There is a very tall diving board attached to the floating dock. It sways back and forth. I see the girl climb up onto it and jump off. It was very high up and not something I would ever do cause I'm afraid of heights and deep waters. I was impressed. She acted like it was nothing; didn't hesitate at all. Like it was just a fun thing to do. This further raised my appreciation towards her.

Before jumping, she took off her shoes and left them on the dock. After diving, she started swimming away to the far end of the dock and disappeared in the other people over there (it was very far away). Me and my friend were talking there and decided to start walking to the end. I decided to pick up her shoes and bring them along just incase she forgot them. We slowly made our way to the end of the dock. Squeezing past people and trying to maintain our balance because it was swaying so much. Along the way, for some reason I decide to put her shoes on (I wouldn't do that IRL). When we make it near the end, I take the shoes off and leave them because I see her there. She's working with some others to divert the water with some boards or something. Even though I put her shoes down right there and tell her something, she's super focused on what she's doing and doesn't notice. So we ignore it and walk off the dock onto the mainland.

Some time goes by as I'm talking to the others on the shore. I get tired of talking and start wandering around the shore. I get to an outcropping (like a small peninsula). There is a big hill of grass that goes down to the water and the edges are lined with that corrugated rusted steel to keep the dirt from falling into the water. As I walk closer to the edge, I notice there is something odd about it. One part of it looks like it has some buoys attached. There's also some metal patches under parts of the grass. There are two goth people working down there. I approach them and ask what they're doing. They say, "we're trying to get this unstuck." I don't even have to ask what, cause at that moment it becomes clear to me what this is. It's a huge old barge that was docked so long that the terrain started to grow on top of it. The dirt must have slid down the hill and covered it and then grass and flowers started growing on top.

I immediately knew I wanted to help them. I wasn't goth, but they didn't care and seemed friendly. Another goth showed up. Now there were two guys and a girl helping us. We eventually got it unstuck and one of the goths found a hatch partially hidden under the grass. He lifted it up and climbed down into what I think was the engine room. In a matter of no time, the boat started up. We all got super excited. So the four of us got on and the one guy started driving. It separated from the land without too much effort and we were on the water. It had a large canopy across the top - it just appeared there on it's own. It was automatically a little house inside now. I don't remember the details of what it looked like though.

We felt like (were) the coolest people on the lake. Everybody turned and watched and we all waved at them. We saw some other small boats as well, but ours was taking up a huge part of the lake. We just kept waving to everybody and feeling great.

Nothing happened with the girl. The End.

Dream 1: Me, my dad and my uncle are with some archaeologist guy. We went to some places I can't remember, until we sailed off to some Mayan ruins on the coast of California. I found a really small tiger cub, and rescued him from the water, and stepped back on the barge. He was scratching me, but I trained him to lay off by shouting "No! Bad boy!" as if he were a dog. I domesticated him and called him frosty. (BTW we don't have frosty flakes in Australia, no clue how I got it.) I lived on the barge with him for a while, and tried teaching him to swim. He sunk like a stone. Freaking out about sharks, I fished him out, and started crying

We lived on the barge for a while, and we tried stepping off of the floating barge and into the water, but frosty fell straight into the gap between the two craft, and into the water. I tried fishing him out, but instead found my neighbours dog, minus one leg. The dog tolled me to watch out, because there was a shark down there. I didn't care, and kept searching for frosty. I thought I felt his mouth, because I could feel teeth, so I grabbed them and pulled upwards. It turned out to be a giant shark, but suddenly we were in a small room I used to live in, and the shark just plopped onto my bed. Now I couldn't find frosty, and this has kind of given me a sad start to the day . Things merge into dream 2, the far better one, so Dream one can cut off here.

Dream 2: I started going to my old school for whatever reason. I had to walk down a dirt track to the main school area, which was about a 1Km walk. As I was walking, some kid younger than me threw a pebble at my head. Ignoring him, because that's what I'd tend to do in real life, he came up and started grabbing my hair.

That pissed me off a fair bit, so I grabbed him in an arm lock, and I did a shoulder throw, and then body slammed him. I was all hulk mode, so I also dislocated a few of his fingers until he promised to piss off. I got off of him, and he suddenly grabbed a shiny plastic dinner plate and swung it at my head. We started fighting for a while, and he mixed up the words "deflection", "reflection" and "refraction".

"Aw' hell naw."

I went all grammar Nazi mode, and stopped in the middle of the fight to give him an English lesson. Eventually he got bored, and left. I finished walking down the dirt track, and I found a part that looked remarkably like my current school. I also noticed some people who were from my current school, one kid in my yeargroup and one Japanese exchange student. I said hi to the kid, and おはようございます to the exchange student, but as soon as I greeted them they changed form into people I didn't know .

Aaaaaanyway. I walked deeper into the school, and it seemed more like a vertical city in a skyscraper. Everyone looked really hostile, and I was feeling a bit out of place. I was getting thirsty (My throat is dry and hurts IRL) so I stepped into a little cafe. Seeing a large amount of thick rimmed glasses, I deducted it was either the nerd or hipster water hole. Everyone was sitting down and reading quietly, so I figured it was a nerd area. I went to buy some water from the counter, and I took ages to get served. I asked for bottled, and got it in a glass, which annoyed me.

I didn't pay for it (Huge dreamsign of mine, not paying for things ) and sat down at a bench. It turned out to be someone I actually remember from that school! Success! He gave me some rice with meatballs, and we chatted about the school. I realised I was dreaming, because the school was so different, I hadn't payed for my drink and I had had that dawning sensation of dreaming I've been getting in the last few LD's. I looked at my hands, which deceptively seemed quite realistic, but trusting my brain, they soon morphed into E.T. hands. I started to drop out of the dream, and everything faded to white, and I opened my eyed to my room.

Nurp. We have unfinished business, dream.

Despite opening my eyes like a dumbass, I rolled over, and focused on the scene I was in. It materialised, and I spun around slowly to get the details, accidentally closing my "dream eyes" a few times, which made me freak out. Remembering the basic TOTM I, which I still haven't done, I ran up to the nearest kid and shouted in his face, "Ablibablalalaasdfjhl kagvj".

Nada. The little poo completely ignored me.

Trying again with another kid, I did the same thing. Still no response. He was too engrossed with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace The Novel, or something along those lines, I seemed to remember Darth Maul on the cover. Frustrated, I stormed outside and checked out the nearest shop, which was now a surf/ski shop. Realising I don't really surf, and I'm not skiing until September, (Which in Australia = Spring. I know, I didn't book it.) I left.

Delving deeper into the school, it merged into a reaaaaaaally posh department store, with waiters carrying gilt trays of fancy food every where. I walked around, getting lost and interrupting people's meals, until I realised that, hey, I'm still dreaming, I may as well try to find some of my old friends.

Never mind, dream's fading.

Nuuuuuuuurp. DEILD again. Hop into dream. I wasn't thinking too straight, so I decided to use dream control to rather than summon my friends, locate their heat signatures . Anyway, They were upstairs and far away, so after a quick stabilisation, I flew up into the ceiling and phased through it into an expensive baby clothing store. Still not finding my friends, I quickly decided to have fun by shattering glass windows. I noticed that the windows did not shatter n shards, but into square voxel-ish things. Meh.

Continuing to search for my friends I popped into a large garbage room and found two guys who were not my friends .

And, wake up once more. DEILD once more. Stabilise once more.

Anyway the guys were really fat, sort of like Fiddle Dee and Fiddle Dum, but more colourful. One had dream control, the other did not, so it must have been a fairly high level LD if one of them had control over the dream. Apparently the room was going to contract and kill us all . I found no way out that didn't involve falling and very likely dying, and I knew falling would wake me up, so I waited until a hatch in the ceiling popped down with a very short rope leading about 2 metres below the hatch in a 30 metre tall room :I. Me and the functioning twin grabbed the non dream control one, and we flew up sluggishly. We mispositioned ourselves and hit the rim of the hatch. Twice. Third time lucky, we got everyone grabbing the rope, and we immediately got pulled up through a long pipe. It was sort of like fruit ninja, but each of us had a different fruit to slice. I had a grapefruit of some kind. Anyway, I start to lose lucidity and wake up after this.

(guy screaming) Frogs! Frogs!
(some dude on the street) That guy has some serious frogs in his wall.
Tell me what's making you jump like that? FIMW - Frogs in my wall. How can I qualify for goverment grants? FIMW - Frogs in my wall

Like that? I made my dream into a song. You see I put my dream into this device, and it turns it into a song. I call it the dream-songinator. Good right?

LOL - jk jk

You can tell the obvious Phineas & Ferb references here. My dream really was about frogs in my wall, I had a huge gaping hole in my wall next to my bed. There were cold drafts coming through it. I did not like it. What a mess this is going to be to repair. I was still laying in bed, to tired yet to do anything really about it. I could see the frogs had crawled into the opening and up into the wall, big ones. I'm trying to reach up past my pillow and managed to beat one fist on my wall saying "Get out frogs!" The frog where I beat on the wall only crawls up inside further, I go "uuugghhh". The only thing that hasn't come in are squirels to look for food in my pants! And yes I have dirty clothes on my floor in the dream too.

As I look down at my bedroom floor, I notice there are 2 birds in here as well. At least they only came in to eat the insects that came in, good birds, keep eating them I don't need the insects in here either. They are poking around in the insulation that is deterioating, that is where most of the bugs are. I look up at the frogs again and I say "you're so dead once I get out of this bed!" I try to rest again, but just a little. My cousin Amie comes in my house, and I get up to talk to her. I'm sure she sees the hole in my wall, but she doesn't say anything about it. My cousin lives next to me in my dream, as in her house is next to mine. And I think our houses are in a trailer court, and may in fact be mobile homes.

My cousin tells me she has met my girlfriend earlier, and by the way she says it I can tell that she doesn't like her. My cousin was like "was that your girlfriend Amy I met earlier?" as we are walking down my hall away from my bedroom. I remember I was talking to her I just don't remember much else what was said. After that I woke up. My real cousin Amie lives almost a thousand miles away from me. She has not met my girlfriend Amy either.

After making a mental note of this dream, I go back to sleep again. I find myself on this boat, shaped more like a small barge. There is some guy with me, and we are going around measuring the depths of the bay. As we do this I get an underwater view of how deep the area we are covering is, as in 3 rd person view, I don't actually go underwater. At least I think I don't. As we are passing an underwater ridge that is on the way out to open sea, I start waking up. As I start waking up, the last thing I hear is: "Let us go down to the deepest depths. Let us breach the spirit of the brotherhood." It is in a male voice, and he sounds as though he were reading a line from Poe or Lovecraft.

An interesting side note, the night before I was trying to lengthen my falling to sleep so I could better categorize the stages. I got to hearing the voices speak to me, I caught enough to remember a female voice say, "that knight is stuck in your house, your garden overdue for repair." A little bit after that I remember jerking awake, as if I did a mini jump in my bed and my whole body felt as though it shook. Those frogs were so begging me to go lucid on them, I didn't know why I didn't. I just felt so tired in my dream. One more minute of that situation though.... my cousin pulled me out of my bed and away from that hole in my wall. I'm coming back for you frogs, you're not getting off that easy! lol

Here is a link in case someone hasn't seen the Phineas & Ferb song I was referencing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKL6W...eature=related
