Note: Last night was a bit odd… I remember a lot of fragments of dreams that I'm not sure if they are connected or not, but here they are…

When It Rains
I am in a strange place, it is out in the middle of the wilderness. I don't recognize the place, though I might not since it is hard to see the surroundings through the pouring rain. It is also rather cold out, and I feel the wet rain penetrating through my clothes to my skin, I am feeling quite cold. I look around and I see a small tent not far from me and I realize I am supposed to sleep in there, so I go to the tent to try to dry off in it. I get in the tent and I realize it is no better than being outside. The tent is small and cramped, it doesn't seem to do anything to keep the cold out, and the worst part is the thing leaks so it is raining almost as badly inside as outside. I decide I won't be able to sleep here, so I head out of the tent. I will find an inn where I can rent a bed for a few gold. Hopefully I have enough… if not, I might have to pick someone's pocket to get the money for a dry bed for the night.


To The Movies
I am with my friend Alicia, and we are heading out of Tucson, going south. There is a movie theater down there and we are going to check and see if they will have a specific movie playing or not. We are traveling in a helicopter, the pilot lands in a flat area near a road. I see my car is there, so Alicia and I switch to the car and continue going. The theater is sure out in the middle of nowhere. When we finally get there we go to the box office and ask about the movie we're looking to see. The man in the box office doesn't even wait to hear the title, he says he knows nothing about any movies past this coming Friday… which I know to be tomorrow. He refuses to be of any help at all. Alicia is annoyed that we came all the way out here for nothing. I am also annoyed, but I add that at least we got a free helicopter ride out of it. Alicia agrees reluctantly and adds that it was her first trip in a helicopter.


Nomad and MoSh
I am in a strange place with Nomad and MoSh, and there are a couple other people there with us as well. I don't recognize them. We are in what looks like a small space capsule with seats on both sides of the elongated capsule. The room is about the shape of an elongated sphere, there is no way of telling which is the front or back or if it is even meant to move. I am sitting between Nomad and MoSh. The walls of the room are all padded with the same material that might be found in a padded room of a mental ward. There is a bright white light, but I can't see where it is coming from. Nomad seems excited about something, MoSh seems disinterested. I don't remember what we are doing or where we might be going, but I do get the sensation of motion as the capsule shoots straight up into the air. Nomad voices a loud and excited, "Here we go!" while MoSh just rolls his eyes and groans. I do nothing, still not sure what is going on, but I don't want to appear stupid and admit that.


Blue Spirals of Madness
I am in the living room of our house, I am working on my laptop doing some 3D modeling. The computer is working fine, so that doesn't trigger me to do a reality check. I decide I want to listen to an audio book while I work, so I switch to iTunes to select one. I select a Dean Koontz book to play and start the first track. I go back to my modeling, expecting the book to start, but nothing happens. I switch back to iTunes and I see that the video effects that I am used to seeing on Windows Media Player are playing but there is no sound. I don't really give any thought to the fact that iTunes doesn't have the video effects screen… The screen is showing blue circles expanding and contracting on the screen, it also seems to be stuck. It isn't changing. Damn, I hope I don't have a virus… I change the screen to go to the internet and the monitor goes dark. Shit! It is a virus! I immediately pull the plug on my external hard drives, fearing the data I may have already lost. The blue circles return to the screen, now they are in 3D somehow. They seem to be coming out of the monitor at me. Then I realize they actually are coming out of the monitor… The spirals surround me as I sit in front of my laptop, they are making me a bit dizzy. It feels like I am falling into the computer… falling into the monitor… but instead I fall into bed and wake up.


Stealing Spree
I am in a place I don't recognize, it is an office building of some kind. I remember I am there for an interview. I go to the receptionist and say I am there for my interview. She says she will let the boss know, so I sit down to wait. I ask the receptionist where the restroom is, and she directs me to a door. I go through the door and see it is not a restroom… it's a storage closet. I tell her that and she says it's ok, everyone does their business in there… um… yuck… I go into the room and sure enough it smells like a sewer. I look at the stuff being stored in there. There are many different things tossed into baskets with no organization at all. I look at some of them. There are many computer items there. Small cameras, jump drives, some things I can't identify but they look cool… so I start taking stuff. There is no organization, no way of telling how many of what is in there. I grab a couple jump drives, a couple miniature cameras, and a couple things I can't identify before the receptionist opens the door without knocking and says the boss is ready. I go to the boss' office and see a man sitting across the desk. He looks at me strangely and then announces I stink. Did I use the bathroom before coming here? Yuck! Go home, I won't be working here when I pee in a closet. I leave his office, a bit annoyed, but also excited to see what those computer components I stole are…

Computer Lab,Family Guy Comic On Wall (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a hard time trying to recall because I woke up like 2 hours before I had to get to my Political Science class in college along with 3 more classes)

(Wednesdays are going to be my busiest days because I have 4 classes in succession; I'm suppose to be in a Chemistry Lab class, but labs don't start until next week, so I thought I should use that time to type up the notes I put down in my Blackberry Curve onto here ( I eventually remembered more details, I couldn't have finger smashed all of this information at once haha; and eat some food before I head to my Biochemistry Seminar course later on).

I also find that using images on my Dream Journal for certain points is helping me remember things long enough that should I not have the time to type them down immediately, I can somehow pull out an event in a dream and capture it long enough to branch off to other things associated with it. I guess it makes it easier in the long run, even though it gets tedious sometimes Googling pictures that make sense to me.


Dream 1:

I'm in a computer lab, the type you would see here in American High School or Middle School. There's dark blue carpet covering the floor with small mixes of random colors.

Everyone but me were given a piece of paper to do something on the computers set out for us, but I didn't pay attention to why I didn't receive one compared to the rest. Everyone was doing random things like watching videos to typing random things.

Then I realized I don't have a worksheet/piece of paper and I go up to a blonde female for one. Her hair was tied to the back into a pony tail.

(I'm going to start focusing on the facial expressions and moods of the DCs I encounter in these non-lucids to try and rationalize why they're doing so.

She was wearing a small gray hoodie (like the Hollister ones that can barely fit any average guy without them ripping it completely) and she wore a shirt underneath it of course, and probably had the typical skinny butt lift jeans.

She almost looked like a European blonde or from Russia, but just as a descendant, not a native, the type who has the genes from parents who were but with the American accent. And see had Mascara on her too, which elevated the presence of her blue eyes.

(just adding these here to have a general grasp on how she looked)


When I go up to her, before I could ask her that I don't have a sheet of paper with instructions on whatever it is we're doing in the computer lab, she expands her arm with the last piece of paper she has and offers me it. I think she even was mouthing something, but it was probably just for her to keep track of what she was doing rather than for me.

It seemed like she was reading something off of it before she handed it to me, I don't know if that she just gave it to me out of the blue or maybe was double checking before she gave it to me.

But she's still looking down on some other things as if she was too busy to make eye contact, she had that secretary type of mentality where they would go into efficiency mode and just do what's necessary and avoid any kind of additional effort (but not the type of effort to be lazy, just the type to be done and over with things in a professional manner).

She knew I was there, I could sense it, so I just gently took the paper she offered me and headed back to where I was sitting, which was near the back wall.

The same blonde, I'm guessing she's a teacher since this seems to be a School environment, but she was pretty young, I'd say she would be my age as well (18).

She starts calling people, probably to check their progress on the computer, I think she calls one person starting with the name of "C," but I can't remember the full name, but it wasn't too important because it was a generic name.

Dream 2:

I'm looking on a wall and there's a comic of Family Guy of Peter, Lois, and Quagmire (It's in black and white, but I think there were a few hints of color). They were doing something, but I can't remember what exactly. I think I recall Lois with a happy expression on her face, but I don't know if that was because something sexual was happening to her or something else.



I saw Quagmire, I know I did, but I don't know what the heck he was up to in the comic, probably trying to creep on Lois I guess.

Finally, after several days of nothing I finally remembered a couple dreams, and one of them was lucid!

I was in what looked like a computer lab with several rows of desks/chairs and computers. I was on one all the way in the back only it wasn't a school computer or anything, it was my laptop. Everybody else had the same desktop computer but mine was the same as the one I'm on right now. I didn't really think anything of it and was just staring at my background typing stuff even though nothing was happening on the screen. Then, some kid in front of me turned around and smiled really creepily at me. I just sort of looked at him a little odd witha "what?" look on my face. He just chuckled a bit and turned back around.

I went back to my computer and noticed that some of the icons were missing. I then tried to get on the internet but nothing was happening, no matter how much I pressed the button. Then, I tried to open up microsoft word but that didn't work either. After a minute or so of trying to get this to a work a little pop up appeared saying something like, "haha, you've got a virus ." I looked up and the kid in front of me was staring at me again with a malicious little grin on his face. "Is this your doing?" I asked him. He just laughed and turned back around.

The next thing I knew I was standing in the doorway to the same room I was just in, facing all the computers. That kid was right in front of me just smiling again. Then, suddenly, he tried to punch me in the face! I quickly put my hand up and stopped his attack, fist in hand. He then tried to jap me in the stomach with his other hand but I deflected it again with my other forearm. At this point I found things a little fishy. I started to question reality and needed to do a RC but I was stopping this kid from hitting me. I looked around for something to do a RC with and noticed a digital clock in the corner of the computer right in front of me. It said 15:81. I figured this was enough to know I was dreaming, but just to be sure I looked away and then back. It now said 0:02.5. What? Decimals? Okay, it's definitely a dream.

At this point I realized I still had this kid's fists in my hands. Remembering what he did to my computer I twisted his left arm (the one he tried to hit me with first) until he started to exhibit pain. "What do you say?" I asked him in the same tone parents would when they're annoyed with their child. "Okay, okay! I'm sorry! Please! Stop! That hurts!" I let go and he immediately ran out the door. Suddenly, the dream started to get very unstable and it felt as if an earthquake was happening. I quickly rubbed my hands together and focused on my surrounding, trying to become hyper-aware. The shaking stopped and I proceeded to walk over to where I was sitting and grabbed my laptop. Didn't want to forget this!

I thought of what to do and remembered the TotY. I couldn't think of any to do, so I walked over to a DC sitting at one of the computers. "Hey, can you check or tell me what some of the TotYs are that I haven't done?" I asked him. "Uh, yeah sure. Dreamviews.com right?" He replied. "Yep, thanks." He typed away on the keyboard and after only about 5 seconds he told me, "Let's see, there's the first picture ever taken, first t.v. broadcast, fix that telescope in space, and base jumping off the world trade center."

"Awesome, thanks." I told him. I decided I would jump off the twin towers in NY. Haven't jumped from high places in a while so I might as well. I headed to the door of the room and thought to myself, "This door leads to the roof of the twin towers in NY." When I opened the door I was suddenly outside, hundreds of feet in the air on the roof of a building. Hey, it worked! I walked over to the edge of the roof and looked down. It was so breezy that I almost fell off when a gust of wind blew over me. On the bottom I could see a bunch of people crowded around the doors and a big ribbon. This must be that cliche ribbon cutting ceremony they always do. Was there even one for the world trade center? I figured I might as well add a bit more challenge and try to get down before the ribbon was cut, and maybe even do it myself.

I took a few steps back, gathered my breath, and sprinted right over the edge. I did a few acrobatic flips and such, until I leveled out into a normal sky diving position. The only problem was, I had only gone down a few feet. "C'mon gravity! I'm not gonna make it!" But I just floated there, nothing happening. I started getting a little annoyed and yelled as loud as I could, "Gravity on please!!" After a couple seconds I started falling straight down, like some body should when they jump off of anything. "Thank you!" I yelled. It took me about 15 seconds to reach the halfway point, at which time I heard people screaming down at the ground. I looked down trying to see something with the wind blowing into my eyes like this. I noticed they were all looking and pointing straight up at me! Well, they're going to be in for a treat!

I dove down, head first, into a full on dive. I waited until I was about 50 feet from the ground and quickly flattened out into a normal sky diving position again. I wanted to make a big crater in the ground since that seems to keep happening in all the fights I've been in recently. After only a split second since I had flattened out I hit the ground going full speed. It didn't hurt at all and felt like one of those big coushions used in movies where somebody jumps out of a building. Once I came to a complete stop I looked up and noticed I was in about a 25 feet deep crater. New personal record! I say everybody lined around the edge looking down at me with disbelief that I was still alive.

I got up, dusted my self off all nonchalant as if nothing had happened. I jumped up and out of the crater in one big burst. I landed on the ground in the middle of the crowd and just stood there for a few seconds while everybody stared. Then, one of them started clapping, followed by another, and another. After only a short moment it turned into a full on applause as if I had just preformed some amazing trick (which I pretty much did ). I just smiled and walked over to the podium where somebody whom I assume was the mayor was standing, as well as a guy holding those big, oversized scissors. I asked them if I could cut the ribbon. The man with the scissors replied, "Well, the mayor was supposed to do it," while motioning towards the man at the podium. "No, no," he said, "let this guy do it. He did just survive an incredible fall without even a scratch."

"Thanks!" I told him. I walked over to the guy with the scissors who gave the right to me. Wow, these were really light. They must've only weighed 5 pounds! The crowd gathered around waiting anxiously for me to cut it. I held them up to the ribbon and closed the scissors, which was pretty awkward given how big they were. However, the ribbon didn't cut! The crowd gave a sigh as if they were disappointed, while I took a closer look at this "ribbon." I found out that it was actually some type of steel cable! "Hey, whats the big idea having these scissors try and cut a metal cable?" I asked. "What are you talking about? It's just a paper rib--" The man who had given me them said, but was interrupted when he took a closer look.

"Oh, nope. You're right, this isn't the ribbon at all. It looks like it's rebarb from the buildings." It was at this moment that I could hear a few snickers and laughs coming from around the corner of the building. "Who's back there?" I demanded. "Nobody!" the voice replied. "Go away!" I walked over to the corner of the building only to find the same kid who had messed with my laptop back in the computer lab. "What the... what the hell are you doing here?" I asked him. "Nothing, go away!" He replied. "Seriously, who do you think you are messing with something as harmless as a ribbon cutting ceremony?" I demanded. I don't get why somebody would sabatoge something as meaningless as this. "Pfft, it was still funny." He said. "Besides, I bet you can't catch me!" He yelled as he sprinted off as fast as he could.

I snapped my fingers and teleported right in front of him. "Oh really?" I asked him. "I can't catch you?" He turned back, obviously surprised and started running back towards the crowd. I casually walked back following him. I could see him just enough so that I could tell he tripped right over and into the crater. Idiot . I strolled over to the edge where the entire crowd had encircled again. "Wow, how dumb are you?" I asked him. He sat in the bottom of the crater in a ball and just stayed there. I decided he was embarassed enough and I walked back over to the rib--metal wire-- and asked them if they had any sharper scissors. "No, sorry," they replied.

"Hold on," I said, "I have an idea." I took a step back and swung my hand back and around, karate chopping the wire. My hand sliced right through it as if it were butter. Everybody stood there for a second again, and then cheered... again. "Wow, nice hit!" the mayor said. "Thanks!" I replied. "Now what?" I asked them. "Now, we go inside!" he said. I followed both of them inside and, right as I walked through the doors, I woke up. Damnet, everything that used to help me in lucids are now waking me up Oh well, got one more of the TotY done .

Second dream:

I remember sitting in my bed and seeing a large figure of words that spelled out something along the lines of FREIDEAY. Friday, maybe? I couldn't tell, but there were lines going through parts of it, so it looked like FR//EI//DE//AY. I had no clue that this meant and just layed down and went back to sleep.

01/15/12

Backing Up
I am at work, somehow I ended up back working at a data center at a hospital again. Not the job I was looking for. I am feeling quite depressed that it seems my years of school have all come to naught. What a waste. I sit at the computer, staring at the reports detailing that all systems are functioning normally. I am at least glad for that. I can sit there and be depressed in peace. I am sitting there when a coworker comes in early for his shift. He asks how the backups went last night… oh, shit! The backups! I forgot totally about running the backups! How could I have managed to do that? I jump from the seat and rush out to put in the backup tapes, maybe there's still time to get them done…


Caves of Darkness
I am in a dark place, I am in a cave of some kind. It is pretty dark, but somehow I can still see well enough to find my way. I follow the cave for a while, not sure where I have to go to get out of the caves. Where is the exit? Is there even an exit? Well there has to be an exit, I got in there somehow… so I turn around and head in the direction it seems I just came from. That's the best chance of finding an exit. I come to a large underground chamber, and in the chamber there are strange creatures. I finally identify them as trolls. The trolls are lumbering around aimlessly, they don't seem to know what they are doing and are thus doing nothing. A troll sees me and lumbers right up in front of me. It does not attack me, instead it stands there and looks at me as if it has never seen a human before. Maybe it hasn't… The troll bends over and picks up a shiny rock and hands it to me. It smiles, or looks like the troll equivalent of a smile, and then walks back out into the large chamber and wanders around with the others.

I was with a random guy, and I was watching him draw a picture on a framed piece of paper on the wall in black pen. He was drawing another guy he knew who had a beard. He kept trying to make it perfectly even, but it would end up slightly uneven and he'd have to add more to other parts of it. The beard and the guy's ears kept getting bigger with each mistake, and I was joking with the artist about it, saying it would never end.

Then he was drawing a stick figure, and it had a happy face, and I said something about 'happiness on face', but he turned that into 'a penis on face' and edited the drawing appropriately.

Then I was at a really old computer to show him something, it had a really low resolution and it only had IE. I opened it, but the logo was upside down, and I'd made pencil marks on the screen, so part of the E looked like a =D face.

(how did my mind come up with this haha)

I went to deviantart and started looking at the categories on the side. There was one that started with a P and was one word and only had around 1,000 deviations in it. It was the least popular. Then I clicked on one called Science & Mathematics that had around 30,000, and then Drawings which had around 138,000. I thought I should make something for the least popular category.

I opened up Fireworks and found it was a new version, and started playing with some new tools. I discovered there was an 'anime eyes' tool that would stamp a variety of pencil sketches of anime eyes on your picture.

Wow, this was a vivid one. First off, I would like to tell you the cast of characters in my dream.
Gramma- My real life grandma
Cork- My uncle, he's about my age
Miley- A girl in my class. She's kind of annoying
Computer Man- A DC in the dream, he doesn't resemble anyone in my real life.
Aunt Sally- My great aunt in real life.

It started out at Gramma's house in the computer room area. There was a man at the computer, teaching me about different HP Desktop software packages, even though I believe HP is a hardware company. I honestly wasn't paying much attention to him though. I was more focused on the TV in the other room. There was a show called SOCKS or ROCKS or something in all capital letters. It was a game show where families competed in weird challenges. One challenge I remember watching was when the families raced in a pool. It was weird, but I remember that the little boy of one of the families hugged his mom. She laughed and said "Honey, don't do that. You penetrated me." Then, about halfway through the show I got a phone call. I answered it and it was from Miley.
"Are you watching SOCKS?" she asked.
"Yes," I replied. Then, there was a period of silence. I decided to break it with a joke. "So," I said, "can you get me a train?" I don't really think that's funny, but I thought I was quoting a funny commercial that only existed in the dream world. Apparently the DCs found it funny too as Miley, my mom, and Gramma all laughed at it. So, I made one more joke as I hung up the phone. "Alright," I proclaimed, "just bring me that train by sunset tomorrow or else!"
After hanging up the phone I resumed watching the show again. Except now, I went IN the show. In this next challenge, which I was now in, the families had to explore a castle. It was crazy, but the castle was like a level from Sonic CD. You could time travel to see what the castle looked like at different points in time. In the present it was a large stone castle surrounded by a few small groups of trees. In the past, there wasn't really a castle. Just a small camp surrounded by lush forest, foreshadowing the major fortress to come. The future though, was a huge robotic metropolis where the castle once was. There were flashing lights and electronics everywhere. Sadly, there was no nature to be found though.
Soon enough, the castle faded away and I was back in the game show. I guess the castle didn't really belong in the situation anyway. It just came into the dream for god knows why. Anyway, now we were back in the game show. I don't know what this challenge was about, but I remember that a mom from one of the families had to do something while Cork shot at her with a pistol. By now I was able to get a good look at the woman and believe it or not, she looked exactly like my Aunt Sally. Aunt Sally-looking woman then proceeded to ask a doctor, who just appeared on set, a question.
"Are you here in case I get hurt?" she asked.
"No," the doctor replied, "I'm here because I'm one of the few people here who can operate the gun.
Then, I woke up. Who knows what this dream could have really meant.

Dream 1
I was in a room at college with my friend who was checking something on a computer. A girl I know was there she said that her cousin was going to straighten her hair. Also and I dry humped her. When I went to leave the college the gate looked like my old school gate and a bus was stopped outside.
We were then walking near a park another bus went past and I saw an advertisement with JLS on it 2 of them were wearing Michael Jackson’s thriller jacket. There were loads of roofs, I jumped on them and started running across.

Fragment
A woman punched a man, but the haymaker she trhough was so sick that she floored him in one punch.

False Awakening
I went down stairs and turned on the computer, it was much closer to the edge of the platform. I went onto youtube and clicked a video that had nudity, but it wasn't blocked.

When I went to search for a rapper named K Koke youtube tried to finish my search so it had stuff like K Kai and some charcter from Bakugan was in the corner next to the youtube logo which was on the right instead of the left. I exited the application and when I saw the other window it had loads of tabs full of some useless stuff.

I heard my sister upstairs and I quickly tried to X all of them.

Side Notes

I woke up and went back to sleep atleast three times, when I RC'd I kept plugging my real nose instead of the one in the dream. I saw a load of images like Robert Downey Jr and such.

First thing I remember was running around the coffee table (old house) with some foot ball dude. He was practicing tackling and I was trying to prove him wrong. After a while, he was laying down on the floor and he was like "No, pass me. It's alright." I tried to pass him, but as soon as I passed over him, he kicked me up into the air and I landed on my face. It was hilarious for some reason. Then I went on i-am-bored.com and 4chan on Mom's laptop. Then I tried to convince her that anything besides the music board would give her viruses. It worked.

Next, I believe I was at high school, but it was the middle school set up differently. It was the middle of the year, and and I just started to do stuff. I remember Kevin Shaw and a backpack, and the gymnasium, but I can't remember what happened. I think he and others were bullying me? I don't know. I think I said something funny and got popular.

Then, I was walking around somewhere with Alec. I had this plastic bowl of unpopped popcorn, but the kernels were really small and tasty, and I think it was illegal to eat them where we were, which was a kind of mall, where we were looking for something. Since we couldn't find it, he had to eat some in the place and we both got arrested (me too because I was an accomplice). Frankie from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends led us outside. Next thing I know, we were wandering around this very modern/clean/philly-esque neighborhood, but it was DE that is was ours. I was like "That thing we were looking for? I have like two at my house. I could go grab em." Naturally, he was pretty pissed.

Then, I was at this strange Halloween world and I think there was this demon out to get me. I tried escaping in this...thing (it looked like a whale). Everytime we tried, we would reach the bottom of this acid lake and the back of the whale under the tail would split open, and this evil black gunk would ooze out. Then I would sew it up or something and try again and again until eventually, I was either an underling or a leader or a beggar (I don't remember if I was one of them or all three) at some weird palace place. There was a cup of gold that I don't remember where it came from, but it may have been related to the popcorn kernels. I (?) was giving out the gold, which did look like corn, to people who were in line. When I was down to the last of it, I was the beggar.

Then, someone in the palace mentioned a girlfriend being crazy. So then I was at Lindsay's friend's house (DE) and we went into the next room. It was established that we already broke up. She was just trying to get me back. In the next room, I was lying down with her and her friend talking. Then the door we were by swung open as some old lady kept letting her dogs in.

The last part had something to do with music and the piano. It was like some kid was embarrassed to play, and I said that I play, and I'm and old man (I'm 18 in real life), so there is nothing to be ashamed of. Somehow, this was more interesting in the dream. I also remember some sort of bars, and the top lit up, but I don't remember their purpose.
_____
/_____\ this one was bright red and it lit up.
/_____\ yellow
/_____\ bright green
/ \ bright blue. like flourescent colors.

Whenever I am playing a video game in a dream:

If it is a computer game, I am almost completely immersed in the game reality that I forget about anything else around me (unless I'm talking to someone before I started playing and while playing). Aion and Sims 3 has always been a complete immersion/seperate dream since I can remember.

If it is a console video game (on TV) I am usually a little less immersed in it's reality. The visuals of the dream are only the game reality (in 3D and peripheral vision etc), but I think I still acknowledge the living room if I want to. I hear voices around me as well if anyone is speaking. If the dream is hazier that usual, the game completely turns into another dream, no matter the kind of game.

Perhaps this could indicate how the brain works when playing games or watching television?


Also I've noticed that I seem to associate a type of a kind of comfortable (not sure how to describe) wealth with the colour red, and the material of wood or marble, as I have many mansion or wealthy building dreams with red carpet or people with red outfits and dark wooden walls etc.

I'm still getting over a nasty cold, so my dreams lately have had the added benefit of cold medicine influencing them:

All I remember about this dream is that I'm someplace where I'm trying to set up my computer, along with an iPad I picked up somewhere along the way, so I can put on a slideshow display of pictures I took on a recent scuba dving trip of mine. But as hard as I try to do it, things keep happening (or fail to happen) that prevents it: I get sidetracked by someone or something; the table I put my equipment on suddenly grows huge so that I can't reach anything without climbing up on the table; there is no place to plug in my laptop computer so that it goes dead after running on only battery power; suddenly the table that is too big is suddenly too little and very unstable, etc. At one point, I'm sidetracked by having to go and pick up the broken pieces of a keyboard cover that are laying on the ground and in the water; this happened while the table was huge; for some reason, it was set up next to a large body of water, like a lake or a pond.

A few nights ago I dreamed about Dreamviews.

I was sitting with my computer, and logged on DV. I saw, that Mancon and someone else had wrote to me. It was a kind of a quiz or a game or something like that. I thought it was weird.

The only reason, that I can remember Mancon, is because if his avatar and his green name.

I dreamed with Omnio. We were walking in the middle of a road at night in the woods.
Above us and projected on the ground was a yellow light that came from the street lamps.
We reached a place where there were large marble stairs. We climbed the stairs, and when we reach the end, it was day.
At the end of the stairs was a computer store. We entered and I asked for information about two ram chips for my computer. The woman said that she had to order the chips. Omnio gave me two ships of ram and said he wanted to buy new ones. I handed the ships he gave me to the lady of the shop, and she said, "That´s sooo old"

- I was in a house I've never seen before with some woman. She told me to take a bath, but I just went and laid down in the dry tub with my clothes on, as some sort of joke. I was there for a couple minutes, I noticed the tub was quite big and a bit dirty. The room was also kind of shabby and plain, but the house was big. The shower curtain was blue and yellow and mostly closed. There was a yellow facecloth in it as well.

The woman came in the room and I sat up, laughed and then asked her if I could take a shower. She said I could, but I got out and followed her out of the room instead. She was holding a little plastic light blue and white folding footstool. I asked where she got it, and she said someone she knew wanted to return it, so she went with them and bought it immediately after they returned it, "right off the shelf".

She was looking for somewhere to store it, but the house was huge and really messy and cluttered. At one point she said, "look, there's even pizza here!" Sure enough, there was a clear container full of pizza on some shelf. Finally she found an empty box that was supposedly a pizza box, but was taller and about the size of the stool. She explained that she remembered this box was what she had brought the stool home in, and put it in.


- I had a short dream in the morning that I got up, grabbed my laptop, and went back into bed to use it. I used it for a bit then went to shut down, except I realized after I clicked the button in the start menu that it had a word on it that meant 'turn on' rather than 'shut down'. I don't remember the word but I think it was similar to 'continue'. I thought that was weird and wondered what it would do, but it shut off normally.


- Also I have a weird fragment of going into my dark room and hearing a really annoying cell phone alarm going off. I was angry because I didn't want it to go off, and I had been afraid I forgot to turn it off. I don't think any alarms went off irl or anything.


Note: Had some stuff before bed again, but my mom woke me up a few times to nag me, so I forgot several dreams. :/

i am in the grocery store shopping with my mom and heather.
we need stuff for a picnic kind of thing.
beside a river, under a hill a ton of people are eating in scattered groups all down the waterside.

i'm in a room with a lot of people. on the wall, there are funny parodies of every movie you can think of.
heather and i look at a harry potter parody. the harry potter actor is really ugly.
off to the "side" of the scene, more like the "side of the dream" (unexplainable), a man beckons me.
i question my surroundings, but fight knowing the truth. this is a dream...but i like this dream.
i know this isn't real. he keeps asking me to come thru, wake up, c'mon.
i disassociate from the dream and the entire scene feels like a veil has been lifted.
a white screen remains where i thought reality was. he pushes the screen away.
now i see "real" reality. i'm in a big lab with a ton of computers.
there's a lady and her daughter (5 yrs old probably) messing around on one.
heather is on one too. i'm told to go play on one.

i have to "log in" with any name. make it up, etc. put your own in, someone elses, it doesn't matter. each name combination will be different.
i don't remember what name i put in. on the screen, a model of the entire universe appears. it's the person's universe, as each person in our "Reality" has his or her own. this is how you can view them.
using the middle scroll thing some mouses have, i zoom all the way in. it's earth, the persons perceived "home" or "center of the universe".
as i scroll out, the seemingly circular planet (rendered 2D because its just a computer) spins and twists clockwise, unraveling and becoming the periodic table of elements. this is represented by a long line of blocks that turns several times, showing thousands of elements. the line keeps going crazy in every direction, in different shapes as it makes molecules, atoms, etc.
supposedly, i am scrolling "out", aka trying to get the larger picture. confusing.

i stop playing this game and go over to the man behind it all, the man who beckoned me.
he looks friendly, just a cool dude maybe 30 or 35.
"can i talk to you about the film you made or are you sensitive about criticism?" i ask.
he laughs and says go for it.
"i hated the part where i was looking at all those movies. it made it seem so real, which sucks because it was a stupid part."
i talk like my entire life was a movie.
he laughs about it and says some movie award organization said that's why he didn't receive some award for it.
we talk about "making movies" and stuff, but all the time we know we mean making "reality".
