    1. Two Dreams: Creepy guy and Hiking

      by , 11-12-2011 at 02:50 PM
      Dream 1:

      I was traveling somewhere with Jeff and Tito. We had stopped at a large motel. We had parked around on the back side. We had to walk up a little hill to get to the building. As we walked my feet got caught in all the burrs in the weeds on the hill. It was like velcro. I could barely walk. But I somehow managed to yank my feet up and make it to the motel. I also felt this awful dark feeling. I felt something was wrong and that something bad would happen.

      I think we talked to someone in the motel (this part is fuzzy). We had these little toy things that could transform when you took them to this special place. This motel had one of this places. We got two of the toys transformed, but then I said that I felt we needed to leave. The guys also felt this. So we walked back down the hill where our feet kept getting stuck.

      As we were almost to the car I could see that this creepy guy was following us. We ran to the car, but the creepy guy was able to jump inside the car. Jeff took off driving down the street. The door on the creepy guys side wasn't shut. I reached around and kicked at him with my feet. I told Tito to also kick at him since he was next time him. We finally kicked him out of the car. I look back and saw his body flying arcross the road and hitting a light pole. I wondered if he had survived. I asked the guys if they thought we needed to call the police and tell them what happened. I was worried that we would be reported by the bystanders who didn't know the situation.

      And that's all I remember.

      Dream 2:

      I was at this resort at the base of this mountain. I knew that there were some amazing hikes that started right behind the resort. I wasn't prepared for a big hike, but I wanted to hike just a little of the trail and then head back. I followed this girl. She had a little trouble getting up this really steep part. I felt a little proud that I got up it with no problem. I followed her for about a half mile or so. She stopped to change a shirt. I stopped and talked to her. I asked what her plans were. She told me that she would hike til dark, then make camp. I looked at saw that her backpack was tiny. There was no way she had a tent or sleeping bag or any camping gear of any kind I that pack. I told her that it woud be getting really cold, but she didn't seem to be worried. I didn't know if I should try to talk her out of it or not. I didn't want her to freeze to death. But she seemed so confident that I let her go on while I turned aruond and went back.

    2. Driving on the freeway...backwards!

      by , 11-10-2011 at 03:42 PM (Pop's Dream Journal)
      In my dream last night, I'm driving down the freeway in my truck. A friend of mine is riding in the passenger seat and he seems a bit nervous because I'm having a little bit of trouble staying in my lane but otherwise my driving is okay. I look at all the other cars on the road and they're giving me a wide berth. And then I realize...I'm driving in reverse at high speed. That explains why it's difficult to keep the truck centered in the lane. I'm actually having fun and marveling at my mad driving skills when I notice a second vehicle coming onto the freeway and it's going backwards too. He comes up right behind me but I accelerate and get way ahead of him. I want to do one of those manuevers where you whip around 180 degrees and keep driving without slowing down, but I'm not sure how to go about doing it. So I try whipping the steering wheel around while hitting the brakes...but before I know if it works or not, I wake up.

    3. Just one dream fragment last night...

      by , 10-25-2011 at 11:02 AM (Pop's Dream Journal)
      Ate a couple of slices of cheese and took a vitamin B-6 supplement(100mg) yesterday evening before bed, so I was diappointed that I only remember a fragment of one dream from last night:

      I'm in my truck in what looks like a suburban setting. A friend of mine is in another truck close by. We're on our way to the same destination. As I'm getting ready to turn right and drive down this one street, I see my friend take another route. I look toward where he is going, see that it's a shorter route and cut through a gas station parking lot in an effort to get ahead of him. I pull out to the right and get in the left turn lane at a traffic light. I look in my rearview mirror for my friend, don't see him and realize he has taken a different route.
      The light changes and I make the left turn, driving across a bridge that spans a small river or canal. Once on the other side, I make a left turn and follow the road, looking to see which way my friend went. It's slow going because there are cars in front of me and one of them is driving really slow. Eventually, though, I see the road my friend had taken (a straight shot with no traffic lights) and realize he is now way ahead of me.
    4. Traveling

      by , 10-11-2011 at 09:52 PM
      From yesterday:

      Dream 2:

      Very long and too many different parts. The theme was traveling. I was always on the go trying to get somewhere. I was traveling with different people at different times or sometimes along. I don't even remember the order of the scenes that I remember.

      I was driving a car that had these strange handlebars (like a bike) they were very wiggly and I felt I had terrible control of the car. I felt like I was in Southern Arizona somewhere between Tucson and Phoenix and I was heading North. I kept going down the wrong roads and having to turn around.

      Later I was in a gas station with Tanya and Marie. I was holding a bowl and a spoon. I took it in the little store, but worried that they would think that I stole it. At some point I was crying. The lady behind the register tried to make me feel better.

      I was in a restaurant with several friends. We ordered this big meals.

      I was in another little store with my mom. We needed transportation. A lady gave us these tricycles. We started to ride them. I saw how slow we were going. I knew that we would never get to our destination in time. I knew that my mom couldn't make it at all. Her handlebars were cracking off. And then both of mine broke.

      I looked at the side ofthe road and was fascinated by these strange animals. At first I thought they were a kind of pig. But then saw that they we more rat-like. But they had wooly hair like a sheep. One was trangled up in some string. I tried to help it, but it tried to bite me.

      I was walking through this town. I was alone and walked up this hill and saw a Mine. I walked closer and saw a man at the entrance. He started to talk to me, but I had this creepy feeling and wasn't sure if I could trust him. So I jumped down the hill. I remember thinking, "I'll bet this will surprise him. I'll bet he has never seen anyone jump down this big hill in just one jump before." I enjoyed the feeling of floating down the bottom. I knew there was something significant about being able to do that.
    5. Him again; Fear of Driving

      non-dream non-lucid Lucid

      Dream one: I was at church. I went outside and suddenly I was in some room(I think I had been heading to the church van but I had seen the others or something). My friends Scotty, Becca, Caleb, and my mom were there. Suddenly Caleb walked up to me and put his mouth either near on on my ear (yeaaah he kinda kissed me I guess) (not sure how that works out but ehhh whatever). Scotty had a O.O "holy crap" face, Becca had a :3 "d'awww" face, and my mom had a D:< "wth was that!!" face. I blushed really red and hid my face. The end of that dream...

      Dream two: I was in a car all alone. I knew I had to get home. Somehow I was on the passenger side holding onto the steering wheel. I was afraid. Wait no, terrified. I got into the driver seat and gripped that wheel like I would die if I let go. I got lost and I turned on the GPS. It didn't help me. I couldn't call my mother for help. I was terrified and I thought I was going to die. I then woke up.

      I think this dream shows my true terror of the thought of driving. I'm sure I'm overreacting.


      Well, there you have it. Please comment.
    6. Getting to the beach

      by , 10-02-2011 at 03:25 PM (Pop's Dream Journal)
      In my dream last night, I remember driving. I was in a car with someone (a female) and I was driving back and forth between another person's house and the beach. After driving the route a couple of times, I found a shortcut down this dirt road that would cut the trip in half. So my friend and I drove to the person's house and told him about the shortcut. He wanted to drive, so I let him. But when we came to the dirt road, he missed the turn. I told him he had missed the turn, so we had to back up for what seemed like a long time and ended up starting all over. But when we finally got to the turn, there were a bunch of men there installing barriers and turnstile-type gates so that no cars could get through. So we ended up having to go the rest of the way on foot. At the very last part was a tall slide that you had to climb up and slide down to get to the beach. I looked up and noticed that towards the top of the ladder, a couple of rungs were missing. I remember thinking it looked dangerous and didn't know if I wanted to climb up the ladder or not. My friend that I had been driving with climbed up the ladder and went down the slide out of sight on the other side of this sand dune. I ran over to see if she was all right and she told me that she was and that the bottom of the slide curved and launched you out in the air and down this embankment. I looked at what she was talking about and realized that she had been lucky to land where she had because if she had gone any further, she would have fallen off of a cliff.

      In my next dream, I'm with a group of people about to go scuba diving. We are getting ready for the dive but everyone is taking so long that it's getting dark outside. I remember thinking, "It's not supposed to be but this is turning into a night dive. I had better go get my dive lights."

      Non-Lucid Lucid Comment

      Heading down an empty narrow road, it's winding through the night like a snake, I am in a new white car, and my mum is sat next to me. Switching from 3rd person to first person and various angles in between I feel like I have no control, yet the car remains perfectly on the road, taking each corner with grace. The drivers seat is on the left side, which is strange because in England it is normally on the right. I am in dialogue with myself, taking about how I can't drive a car, only a motorbike, and I'm very worried about crashing. For some reason I'm driving the car with my head stuck out of the window, like I shouldn't be watching the road through the windscreen.
      The road starts to become inclined, I see a sharp corner ahead, and drive straight through the metal barrier, into the sea below.
      Underwater, I turn to my mum, and say half hearted:
      "Should we go back to the last checkpoint?"
      She disagrees and points out a underwater cavern nearby, it looks kinda creepy, but I shrug it off and we decide to head here.
      Appearing in the carven, I observe my surroundings. The room is very tall and old, I can barely make out details of the upper staircase. The floor is most and covered with large broken tiles, but its not hard to remain standing. There is a cornered staircase in front of me, heading up to a room which is brightly lit.
      Realising that my mum is here too, I turn around, she looks very nervous and tells me not to look to either side of me because of the skull monster. I'm not too bothered and turn my head, instantly a hooded figure is right close up to my face, a skull appearing from under the hood.



      I'm startled not scared, she tells me that we have to go to a ceremony up the stairs, so we decide to go up the stairs, I occasionally turn my head back laughing at the skull!

      The room is brightly lit, and reminds me of a church, we head to a seat at the back of the room, I am joined by my brother and sister... and the random skullman.

      We are told of a lost diamond, that we perfect in all ways, and the size of a mans fist, I am taken to the front of the room and asked to find it.

      Outside, everything is nice and green, lots of plants everywhere, I am dressed in armour, with a large two handed sword which is magnificently polished.
      I head into the forest, and look for the diamond. (loosing detail here) I manage to find the diamond, it's huge, I can barely hold it with one hand. I hide it under my cloak.
      My brother (who looks nothing like my brother) comes and talks to me, I tell him I found the diamond, swinging the sword in a playful fashion.
      I lead him inside to the church like building, but the diamond has gone, I ask my friend Ali where it is, he looks very happy with himself.
      He tells me he as the diamond, I ask for it, and he holds out his hand, and there is a tiny version about the size of a pea.
      "I shrunk it so people can't find it", but the diamond has lost its beauty and I am disappointed.
      Fade.

      Dream.
      I wake up and stumble over to the bathroom, I remember that it is a dream, but I am not sure, I think it's a dream because I remember falling over and smashing my head (?), and that has caused me to enter a dream. I try multiple RC's but they all fail, I look in the mirror and attempt to change it, nothing, I look down, look up, everything is black behind me in the mirror..."I'm Dreaming!"
      Running into my bedroom, I hear someone singing upstairs, I decide to try some vocal commands by saying "Mute", the voice instantly silences. I conjure a mirror on my closet.
      And look at myself, I look normal, slightly blurry. I want to have a medieval theme, so I say "armour", close my eyes, and open again, and I am clad in some armour. I want to be more heavily plated so I say "more armour" and I am a living tank!
      My dad comes up the stairs and I hold out a hand and blast him away (we had an argument that day, lol).
      I fade out into blackness.



      *Fragment
      I am in a shopping mall, when drinking lucosade, I decide to eat loads of food, and become fat.
    8. Offroading / Smoking a Doobie

      by , 10-02-2011 at 02:02 PM (...from the dark corners of my mind...)
      DJ Log: October 2, 2011 – 7:00AM (USA Eastern)
      · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

      I am driving around with a friend through the outskirts of the city. We pull into an abandoned industrial lot to see if there are any good places to go offroading. My friend says, “I don't think we should be driving around in here.” I reply with a question, “Would you like to get out and walk?” He replies, “No.”

      On the right side are a couple of hills with lots of trails going up and down them. On the left is a line of trees and straight ahead is a muddy area. I look at the hills and the mud pit for a while, deciding which I want to hit first. As I think, I reach down and engage the transfer case into 4x4 mode. My friends puts on his seat belt and grabs the oh-shit handle with a nervous look on his face. I back up to get a running start, then hit the mud hole as fast as I can. The truck sinks into the mud quite a bit, but I am able to pull through easily. I turn around and drive through the mud again while doing some donuts in the middle of the pit.

      My friend says, “Let's pull over by the trees and fire up a doobie.” I look over at him and see that he is holding a large doobie and a lighter. I drive over by the trees, then up and around the mid pit to the top end of the lot. The top of the lot connects to one of the city streets and the back sides of several buildings line the edge of the lot. We stop right in the middle of the lot and light up the doobie. He takes the first couple hits, then I take a couple. It tastes really good and I immediately get high as hell.

      I pass on the second round, saying, “I'll skip this one. I don't want to get so high that I forget how to get out of here.” He looks at me and says, “Snausages.” I give him a puzzled look, then start up the truck and drive off. As I drive, he keeps laughing and pointing at things outside. I look at him and ask, “Your eyes look funny, are you high?” He just laughs again.

    9. Stopping the Shooter

      by , 09-25-2011 at 06:06 PM
      9/25/11

      DILD

      Recall: decent

      Notes: This was a long dream, but my recall has slumped a bit recently.

      It all started back in Oak Park. I was wandering around with two friends at nighttime, and we approached my middle school. There was a lot of action going on around; police were everywhere. We found out that people suspected a shooting was about to take place. We decided to go in and stop it. My two friends were wearing bullet-proof vests, but I didn't have one. They were some bounty hunter type people. People around think I am crazy for walking in there unarmed and unprotected.

      So we split up and look for anything suspicious. I wander the halls for awhile, while occasionally peaking into classrooms and checking out students. After like 10 min of this, I end up on the 4th floor. There is a skinny white kid looking very sketchy; he even had a trench coat for Gods sake. He saw me and the other cops around and was still acting funny. I thought that he wasn't the shooter because he was being so blatantly obvious about hiding something.

      My 2 friends show back up and want to head out. I say I'll leave too, but I just want to see how this kid turns out. I still didn't believe he had anything, but I would be a bad cop if I let this sketchy dude go unchecked. I look back and he is getting in someone's face and pulls out a silver gun. I do a double take and pounce into action. I grab his hand with the gun and point it in the air. I fire a few rounds into the ceiling trying to empty the clip. We continue wresting and the gun gets pointed at me. Luckily he wasn't able to pull the trigger before I fought it off. By the way, there is a crowd around us watching; none of those assholes tried to help. He falls on the ground and I am wrestling on top of him. I can get the gun pointed at the back of his head. I pause for a second to think if I should shoot. I don't have faith that I'll get a good chance to take the gun, plus he almost killed me earlier. So I pull the trigger--a spray of blood and its all over.

      I stand up a hero.
      But it doesn't feel right. Instantly I know its a dream. I do the nose RC and I'm dreaming. DAMN IT. I was a hero, I saved the day, and it wasn't even real. (This is one of the few times that I was pissed to find out I was dreaming.)

      So I leave the building and get into the back of a car. Someone starts to drive me somewhere. I decide to try and shrink myself. I look at the seat of the car and suddenly it is a giant leather wall. I was about an inch tall. The car stops and the door opens. I go outside and it a long stretch of road in the middle of nowhere (still at night). I want to try and fly. I am so small that the wind should be able to take me. I feel a gust and suddenly I am off. I am flying super fast about a foot above the ground (but I am an inch tall so a foot isn't THAT close).

      I land and return to full size. I want to fly again so I look to the starry sky. I try to take off, but nothing happens. I stare up for a few more seconds and look back down. I am hovering at like 3 ft. and then fall back down. I repeat this a few times, and then give up, frustrated.

      The dream skips. It is daytime back in Oak Park. I find a car and start racing down the streets. After awhile of gunning it through downtown I get out and look for something else. I use telekinesis to throw the car straight into the air--it never comes back down. I do the same with a street sign.

      I start looking for some girls. I find a hot one on the street and start going at it for a bit. Something happens and I have to stop early. Two guys come up and each want to be next. I scoff at them and walk away. Then across the street, in front of the Frank Lloyd Wright Temple is Heather! Finally! So I get up and start fooling around. She has huge boobs and I start (*eye muffs) titty...loving her. It works better than ever before because of their size. I switch positions and eventually I lose her somehow.

      Well if I was able to inadvertently summon an old crush, then why not try another? I try to find Mallory. I end up going into a house and asking someone if they knew where her room was. They showed my a room with 4 beds. I dig through a bunch of dressers so I can try and find which bed is hers. Eventually I lose the dream before finding her.

    11. A monkey and kidnapped women

      by , 09-16-2011 at 01:07 PM (Pop's Dream Journal)
      I remember two dreams from last night.

      In my first dream, I’m outside of a house. Someone is telling me that there is an animal of some kind (a raccoon, squirrel or opossum) up in the attic of this house that makes an awful racket at night when people are trying to sleep. Me and another guy (unknown…but in the dream I know he is a friend) are going to try and catch whatever it is. Funny thing about the house, though, is that the front outside wall is missing so we are able to climb ladders and access the attic from outside. When I get to the top of my ladder, I look inside and spot something moving – it’s a small monkey, like the kind you see with organ grinders. He seems friendly, so I coax him over and grab him with one hand. This startles him and at first I think he’s going to bite me. I winch in anticipation, but the bite never comes. So I take the monkey and toss him outside onto the ground, then climb down the ladder. But when I turn to look at the monkey, I see that it is no longer alive and has somehow transformed into a toy stuffed monkey.

      In my second dream, I’m driving a van and there are a couple of guys I don’t know in the van with me. We also have two women with us but they seem to each be sealed in some kind of big, square plastic bag filled with water. They are both alive and angry and demanding to be let out. I know somehow that we have kidnapped them and are driving someplace. One of the men in the van is angry with me because we are driving close to a news van/crew and he’s afraid they will be able to see inside our van and see and/or film the two women being held hostage. But I reassure him that I’m swerving in such a way that the news crew won’t be able to see them.

      That’s all I remember from the second dream. I need to work on my RC’s throughout the day because, as crazy as some of my dreams are, there is no reason why I should not be recognizing them as dreams.
    12. Bugs, Borg and bicycles

      by , 09-14-2011 at 12:33 PM (Pop's Dream Journal)
      Had several dreams last night, some of them fragments.

      In my first dream (fragment), I am at a hotel or office somewhere with some friends of mine. All I remember from it is that I had several bumps or welts on my face, neck and arms, like from a bug bite. But on closer inspection, the bumps seem to each have a little window on top of them and inside you can see tiny mechanical or electronic components. They look something like small Borg implants from the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation.

      An interesting side note: I actually AM staying at a hotel right now in Roatan, Honduras. And you have to constantly stay sprayed down with insect repellent because there are these little no-see-um bugs that bite and leave welts like mosquitoes. I’ve been lucky and haven’t gotten bitten but some other guests at the hotel are covered in bug bites.

      In my next dream, my soon-to-be-ex wife and I are in a car and I’m driving us somewhere. When my wife finds out what route I took, she makes a comment that I should have taken a different route because it’s much shorter coming that way from where we live. I agree with her and suggest that next time we use her Garmin and follow the route it tells us to go. She likes that idea. This dream seems to repeat itself a couple of times, or maybe we’re just going to different places.

      In my last dream, I am riding a bicycle. I had parked my truck and was trying out riding my bicycle from where I had parked my truck to a specific point, either work or home, I don’t remember. There is another man on a bike following behind me and he gradually catches up to me, since he’s going a little faster than I am. We greet each other and I explain to him what I’m doing, telling him I’m doing it to get more exercise. He tells me that’s a good idea and we end up giving each other advice and pointers about riding on the roads. I stop at a point along the way to meet some friends and eat lunch (or dinner) and invite the man inside to join me. As I’m inside, taking to some friends about a book I just read, I notice that the man I invited in has the exact same book in his hand. I don’t remember the title or author of the book, but I think it’s about bike riding.
    13. Poor Recall Again :(

      by , 09-10-2011 at 03:04 PM (Curiouser and Curiouser)
      I tried to attempt a MILD, but I think by the time I went to bed I was too tired to do it properly. I fell asleep pretty much as soon as my head hit the pillow. I have a vague memory of waking up once during the night and trying to convince myself to write down a dream, but that might have been a dream itself.

      Calcifer was in my dream!!

      (A strong and powerful fire demon! )

      He had fallen apart somehow, and I was searching through a gravel path finding the pure white stones, because those were the stones that were a part of Calcifer. I put them together, and Calcifer formed back into himself! I was holding him in my hand.

      I remember at one point me and M were driving back and forth different places because we kept forgetting these, and he was getting really frustrated. We drove back to his house because he forgot his belt, but I somehow felt like it was my fault.

      I was at a store (it was sort of Target-like, but all the shelves were really tall) looking for black tights. I had a pair, but they were way too big for me, and when I looked at the size they were an XL. The only tights I could find in a S were sparkly ones, or leggings that only went halfway down your leg. Me and M were going to a dance, and I was going to wear this short halter top black dress I have, but I needed black tights to wear with it. While shopping I suddenly realized I had no clue how formal the dance was or anything, and I got stressed out about it. I decided to just use the tights that were too big for me, and we left.

      On the way to the car I was with my family instead of M, and I was going to the event with my little brother (but it wasn't weird at all, just like a fun family thing. I'm not even sure if it was a dance anymore.) He showed me the bow tie he had bought and in the dream I thought it was the COOLEST THING. It was all frilly and it had a taxidermy alligator head (like the type I bought M in San Francisco) attached to it. Then, in the car, I was actually going with my little sister, and she was telling me something about her jacket and how she had decided she wanted to go with me.

      I have a vague memory of a train as well.
    14. Playing chicken?

      by , 09-10-2011 at 12:13 PM (Pop's Dream Journal)
      I wasn't figuring on being able to remember any dreams from last night because I had a fairly potent margarita with my dinner. But I do remember bits and pieces of it:

      I'm outdoors somewhere with some frineds of mine from work. And I'm carrying some kind of handheld device which lets me see things the others can't. We seem to be in some sort of competition with another group of guys from work and one of them (a guy I work with named Wade) is carrying a similar device. We seem to be driving on some kind of circular track. My team is driving counterclockwise, while the other team is driving clockwise. Or maybe it's just me and Wade who are driving, because I remember looking through the device and being able to see him coming at me. I'm unclear on what the rules of the race are.

      In another dream, I find myself driving along a road approaching a 90 degree turn to the left which leads to a long bridge. It's been raining and there is water flowing over parts of the road as the water rises. I'm wanting to cross the bridge and get to the other side before the water gets too high and I am unable to cross.

      Sidenote: This bridge scene has appeared in my dreams quite a few times in the past. I don't recall it being a bridge that I've ever seen in waking life, but in my dreams it feels as though it's a familiar sight.
    15. On the path to Ludid Dreams

      Hopefully this marks the beginning of a long and successful venture into the world of Lucid Dreaming for me. After discovering this site only yesterday, I became instantly intrigued at the thought of controlling my own dreams. Prior to last night, my experiences with dreams only involved the occasional remembrance of what I dreamed the night before. As a child i used to have a lot nightmares from what I can remember. Walking slow, being small, impending doom, not being able to talk/scream. All that good stuff. I can say that for the past many years though that I haven't had really any nightmares, besides the ones where I am at work in my dream, haha.

      My goal with Lucid Dreaming is not spiritual. Nor is it to inspire creativity. It is simply to experience something beyond what we as humans can explain. Dreams and the human brain, while widely researched, still can't be 100% explained. There are things that happened that are beyond our grasp of understanding and there is an element of mystery to it. The thought of being able to fly, go on an adventure, and be in complete control of an environment that can feel as real as the real world excites me. I am more than ready to venture into the world of Lucid Dreams!

      Last night I grabbed a spare notebook I had and designated it my Dream Journal. I placed it on the night stand next to my bed where my alarm clock, phone and fan are so that hopefully I would see it and immediately write down anything I could remember about my dreams. I also repeated the phrase "I will record my dreams when I wake up" over and over in my head while falling asleep. It normally takes me awhile to fall asleep, and a lot of thoughts through the day get repeated in my head as I lay there, sometimes keeping me awake. I'll admit, I was extremely excited to see what kind of dreams my mind was going to produce, and if I'd be able to remember them all and actually record them.

      Dream 1

      I remember sitting in my room on the floor near my shelf of DVD's. I see a small container filled with weed just sitting there on top of some of my DVDs. Next I remember driving around on some back roads. I had this feeling like I was leaving work and was heading home to take a shower, because my job involves me getting pretty dirty so the first thing I always do is take a shower.

      The dream seemed to transition from being just back roads to me driving around in a huge parking lot. During that time I seemed to be smoking a joint of the weed that I found earlier. The parking lot looked very similar to a mall near my house, though it's not on the way home from work so I don't know why I would've been driving around there if my intention was to go home and take a shower. I remember at one point while being in the car I was wearing my robe I put on after taking a shower. My mind obviously had a shower on it's mind.

      I also recall some sort of commentary about the things I was doing in my dream. Like if I was watching my dream like a movie and I put on the directors commentary. The voice was not recognizable to me though.

      As I woke up, I looked over to check the time and saw my Dream Journal sitting there. Immediately I started writing down everything I could think of. I didn't turn the lights on to see what I was writing. I am also a very sloppy writer, so my entry looks like a jumbled pile of words that I had to decipher this morning while using what I could remember later on to put together the dream.

      I then put the Dream Journal back in its place and went back to sleep, repeating the same phrase again and again to remind myself to remember my dream. During this time of trying to fall back asleep, my mind seemed like it was creating it's own thoughts. It felt similar to day dreaming, but it seemed like I wasn't in control of what I was thinking. Scenarios were playing out in my head without my control, and I would eventually snap out of it and repeat the phrase again and again. I'm almost positive I wasn't in any sort of sleep state, but I wasn't 100% awake either. It was rather strange. I eventually fell asleep though.

      Dream 2

      I am driving on an icy road in what seemed to be winter time with my older brother and his girlfriend. The section of road we were on was very familiar, and looked to be one that is located close to my house. We are part of a convoy because my co-worker is driving his car in front of us, and there is a car behind us too that was traveling with us. I don't exactly recall who was in the car behind us, but I believe it might have been one of my Aunts. We were headed towards a destination for which I cannot remember clearly.

      Suddenly my co-worker slams on his breaks in front of me. I have to make a quick swerve to get out of the way, but the car driving behind us decided to drive up to the side of me and I ended up hitting that car, as well as hitting my co-workers car in front of me. We decide to pull into a nearby parking lot to look at the damage of our cars. This parking lot was not familiar and it seemed like the road we were on transitioned into some unfamiliar road. As we get into the parking lot to look at the damage, it's no longer winter, and I notice there is no visible damage to any of our cars. I am very relieved because I was worrying about having to pay money to fix all of the damage, money I didn't have. It seemed however that my co-worker was very angry at the fact that there was an accident, possibly directed at me. Which now seems strange because there was no visible damage, and it wasn't really anybody's fault because the road conditions were icy and no one could stop.

      Things get a little fuzzy, but then I remember me, my Mom, and my 3 year old Niece being in the parking lot where we pulled into. I open up a big box that contained mini bags of Doritos that had 3 different flavors, one being Habanero which I know she would hate cause she doesn't like anything even remotely spicy. I asked my Niece which flavor bag she wanted, and of course she picks the Habanero one. Me and my Mom tell her that she won't like it because it's spicy, but she replies "No, it not bicy" like a 3 year old would pronounce it.

      Again I recorded it in my Dream Journal. A sloppy jumble of words that would only be readable by myself. I think I need to switch from writing it down to voice recording on my phone or something. Though I need something on my night stand to remind me to record my dream when I wake up, like how the notebook did. Hopefully I can learn to do it instinctively as I rise each time.

      I don't know what constitutes as a normal dream, but these 2 seemed rather odd if you ask me. As far as I can remember, I have never remembered 2 dreams in one night. I might only remember one dream a month if that. I think because I implanted the idea of wanting to remember my dream, mixed with recording it immediately when I wake up helped me achieve this. Which to me is more than I imagined would happen after just my first night.
