    1. 1/8/11 - Roller Coasters and Cigars

      by , 01-09-2011 at 07:12 AM (In Medias Res)
      I was on an indoor extreme rollercoaster with my family. This rollercoaster seemed familiar and definitely appeared in a previous dream, but I didn't go lucid. Before the ride began, I realized that my seat had no seat belt to strap me to the seat. Essentially I was sitting on a piece of wood. But the ride operator told me they had no time to give me a strap, and the perilous ride began. The ride sped up and down tracks of extreme angles and "high-tosses" - places where there were no tracks and the carriages had to fly over. I realized that not having a seat belt certainly made the ride more dangerous, but not impossible. Then came a section where carriages with seat belts were attached to and moved across a yellow rope. The bottom was void. Without a seat belt, I was tossed. My carriage flew away. At the last minute, I decided to reach my right arm up and grab the yellow rope. I triumphantly yelled, "Haha! I grabbed the rope! Suck on that! I would've died if I didn't!" I had to slowly climb the rope. Then I heard the people in the seatbelt carriages moving on to the next part of the ride. My brother's (or another male's) voice said, "I didn't realize it would be so STEEEEEEEEEEP!!!" as they fell down the steep edge. This phrase made me confirm that this scenario had been from a previous dream. I found out that without a carriage, I had to climb sideways onto a blue rope and manipulate a pulley somehow so I could carry on. On the way, though, I failed, and probably fell and died.

      I was in a hotel room with my family and extended family. A Japanese woman who I knew was the wife to one of my uncles (though she's Korean IRL, I perceived her as Japanese in the dream) was watching the international TV. I switched it to the Indian channel where many cubes with Indian-style patterns enlarged to fill the screen. I was thinking, "What if I could smoke one cigar in the bathroom?" The Japanese woman snapped, "What do you want?" I snapped back equally as angrily, thinking she was being racist towards the Indian channel. A mediator from the hotel suddenly burst into the room to mitigate the fight. He asked what was going on; walking to the bathroom, I said, "I wanted to smoke one cigar in the bathroom." Then I saw the no smoking sign on the bathroom door, and said, "Ohhh, right, no smoking in the bathroom!" My mother nodded and frowned disapprovingly.
