      Odd School:
      I was at some school dismissal. I walked across the light green grass and decided to buy some drink when I saw a freezer sticking out of the ground. It was white and about 1m tall or so. Next to it, was a structure that looks much like a shed with a door. I opened the freezer to get some drink and was planning to use the shed to go to the store to pay for it. I felt the gaze of bypassers looking at me and felt like a criminal so I opted out of buying a drink. I opened the grey wooden door and looked downstairs. There was a HUGE lineup across the lobby floor which was made of dark brown bricks. The dream skips and I’m with a friend from work. She buys some food and we sit in the cafeteria in the middle of the room on a gray table. There are many tables around as well. I went to the place because I decided to buy something to eat. There were two guys wearing white standing there on either side and they had some trays behind them on a shelf which had some gloves in it, but, it didn’t look the cleanest, so, I decided against it. I went back to the table and then decided to wash my hands using a white sink. I washed my hands twice before the dream ended.

      Thoughts: Interesting and surprised that I just explained the freezer thing away On the bright side, I was able to remember a decently long dream with some good details, maybe better dream recall?

    2. In a Deep Sleep

      by , 06-12-2010 at 05:11 PM (Hazel's Boiler Room)
      Seems like I've been sleeping a lot deeper lately. Usually I'm a light sleeper, and will awaken at the slightest thing. This is making it very difficult to WBTB properly. At least my recall was better last night!

      1- Dream Journaling (fragment)

      I am writing down some keywords from a dream I just had. It seems like it was a very interesting dream...

      2- Waiting in the Rain
      ((Why is this underline green???)) I am in my classroom, when the bell rings. Yay, time to leave! I run down the hallway and am halfway to the door when I realize that I left all my stuff in the classroom. Oh no, I'm going to miss the bus... I run back and grab my stuff, and when I get outside I am relieved to see that I haven't been left.

      Later, Steven and I are waiting outside an abandoned building for our dad. It is pouring down rain and extremely uncomfortable. I wish he'd hurry the hell up... FINALLY he arrives, after the rain has already stopped. We are walking down a path behind the building, and come out near a corn field where a motorcycle gang is having a meeting. I am feeling reckless and want to go join them, but my dad says we'd better steer clear. I end up walking through the corn field before returning to the path.

      We are now in a car, driving through a really beautiful (and obviously rich) estate. There is so much to see! Gargoyles perch atop the buildings, and glittering fountains gurgle in the courtyards. I keep telling my dad to slow down, that I want to see everything. We pass by a sign that says Amethyst Labyrinth. I know that I must come back here to explore one day.


      3- Hospital
      ((Hm, this one's black like it's supposed to be.)) I am visiting someone in the hospital with a bunch of people I don't know. We get on the elevator, press the button, and... WHOOSH!!!! The thing flies to our floor at an such an incredible speed that I fall over. Holy cow... They must need these elevators to get emergency patients up to the operating room or something.

      Later, I am going back down. I make it into the elevator, but the door shuts before the rest of my people can get on. Oh well, they'll have to catch the next one. A little boy is in there with me, and he looks scared to death. "Which floor?" I ask him.

      "Five and ten," he answers.

      How can he be going to two different floors? I press both of the buttons anyway, as well as the ground floor. The thing immediately shoots way up to the tenth floor as I hold onto the railing for dear life. The little boy is screaming his head off. "I'm going to have to go through this two more times," I think with annoyance.

      4- Pit Possum Man
      I am taking care of a small possum. Eventually it turns into a pit bull, but it still has the same tail. The thing is fairly aggressive, and the whole time I'm trying to teach it to be more pleasant. At the end, it becomes a man with very little clothing, resembling Tarzan. (And yet again, he still has that possum tail.)

      My nose starts to run, because it is cold and rainy. I sniff rather loudly. "What's that?" the possum man asks me.

      "What's what?"

      He sniffs, imitating me.

      "Oh. I had snot running out my nose."

      ((LOL The conversation got even worse after that, but I won't go there.))

      5- Texting (fragment)
      I get a text message from a person who I'd rather not hear from. Oh no, not HER. I text back, "The only reason you're so upset is because you KNOW I'm right. You secretly want to change, but you don't know how."
    3. 06/10/10 Doing Homework is Forbidden!

      by , 06-12-2010 at 09:06 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      I was at school. I was sitting in the classroom. Tigress was sitting right to my left as she usually is, and there were two computers in front of me. One of them was the crappy school computer which was turned off. The other computer was my laptop, which was turned on. I looked at the screen and it displayed a list of dreams I have recorded. I didn't pay any attention to that, I just figured I was logged onto Dreamviews or Mortal Mist… although the screen didn't look like either of them. My attention was more focused on the paper I had in front of me. It was a character information sheet. It looked much like a character sheet for characters in Dungeons and Dragons, but that's not what it was for. This character sheet was to design characters for the games we would be making for our capstone projects. I wrote the name of the character I was designing on the top of the sheet. Trina. Good.

      While I was filling out the form, the instructor was up at the front of the room talking about what goes into a good game. I was listening with half my mind, as I had heard all of this information so many times before I thought I could recite it line for line. I started writing in the description of Trina's appearance. I heard the instructor had stopped talking. I looked up and saw he was right beside my chair looking at me. He said I needed to be paying attention, not working on that. I said it was class work I was working on, not random stuff. I showed him the character sheet. He said I could do that as homework, but I should pay attention. He said he didn't like it when students were ignoring him. I said I hadn't been ignoring him. I recited, practically word for word, what he had just said before coming over to me. He didn't seem to know what to respond to that, so he just said again for me to put the paper away. I said that after the number of classes he has had me in he should know perfectly well that I can multi-task. He repeated again to put the paper away. I was annoyed as I slipped the paper into my folder. The instructor went back to the front of the class and continued talking. I continued working on the paper, but I kept the folder down in my lap so he wouldn't see it. It was much harder to write like that…

      It was now break time. All of us got up from our seats and went out of the classroom to take a break. Tigress and I headed across the street to the Albertsons across the street. As we walked over, we mutually complained about the instructor and how he can be an ass sometimes and how annoying he can be sometimes. We went into Albertsons. Tigress needed to buy a few things. I followed her as she chose out her items. I was still complaining a bit about the instructor, though I had pretty much vented all that out. The intercom of the store interrupted the song on the radio and said the prescription for Raven Knight was ready at the pharmacy. Prescription? What prescription? I headed over to the pharmacy, not sure what to expect.

      Tigress followed me over to the pharmacy. I went to the pharmacist and asked what prescription was ready for Raven Knight. She said it was a loaf of loaf. I did a double take… a loaf of what? She said it was a loaf of the drug called Loaf. I just stared at her with what must have been a blank look on my face. A drug called Loaf? I remembered Loaf was a user on Dreamviews… not a drug… She said she would get the prescription. She went to the back and then came back up. She had a plastic bag with a loaf of bread in it. The bread looked like it was some kind of fruit bread. There were a couple of slices already off of the loaf, but the rest was a whole loaf. The pharmacist told me that half a slice of the bread is a single dose, so I should make sure to take that much every day. She said if I prefer it that way, add butter. Half a slice seemed like so little… well, I would see how it went.

      I opened the bag of bread and took out a slice. I took a bite. It was very good! I could taste the fruit in it, and the fruit was sweet and good. Before I knew it I had eaten the entire slice. I was still feeling angry and depressed at the instructor. I soon found myself nibbling on a second slice of the bread. Tigress asked how much I had eaten. I said I was on my second slice. I found I had only one bite of that second slice left and I ate it. Tigress said I was only supposed to have half a slice. I said that wasn't enough. She took the bag and looked in at the bread. About that time the medication of the bread started hitting me. I felt really good. I felt like I was flying. I felt great. I wanted to hug the next person I saw… I hugged Tigress. I hugged the person in line in front of us when we checked out with Tigress' stuff. I hugged the cashier. The cashier only seemed mildly surprised. She asked Tigress if I had gotten a loaf of Loaf. Tigress said yes.

      The cashier said that Loaf is a potent drug, and it seems people always like to go overboard on it, at least when they take their first dose. Now her calling Loaf a drug didn't sound weird at all… I told Tigress I wanted a loaf of kitty love next. Now that would be an awesome drug! Tigress looked at me strangely. The cashier said I would be coming down in a while. She said fortunately there wouldn't be a really serious crash, although I would certainly be wanting some extra sleep tonight. I told the cashier I had shared a dream with Loaf… she looked at me weird. She said the hallucinations had started, and she told Tigress to make sure I stayed somewhere safe. I said no, I had dreamed with Loaf… then someone had wanted a slice of Loaf but it had turned into a blog instead with… um… music on it. Music and magazines. That's it. And then there's the bread that grows on a tree… Tigress was leading me out of Albertsons when everything faded and I woke.
    4. Psychological Bind

      by , 06-11-2010 at 11:06 PM (Zukin's Dream Journal! <3)
      I was sitting down on the carpet in the freshmen center of our school. There were combination locks on the ground. I was trying to solve them because on each one of them the middle number was missing and it was my job to figure out the missing combos. However, each combination lock also had a sound clip embedded in the back of it.

      As I was sitting in front of one of my old teacher's doors, I listening to a sound clip.

      Thump, Thump, Thump...

      It was the sound of a beating heart. I continued to listen carefully and the heart beat grew irregular. I heard the sounds of a teacher yelling, telling them to let the student die. He was killing her.

      I looked up at the teacher in the classroom. He was sitting at his desk. He was the same teacher from the same sound clip. He looked up and stared into my eyes as my facial expression turned to fear and disgust. He quickly realized what I knew and bolted from his chair and began to chase me. I attempted to make a run for it out the door but I was instantly put into a psychological bind. I collapsed to the floor as I shook with regret and fear. I dug my fingernails into the floor, trying to escape the bind. My friend Joe saw me, and tried to shake me out of the spell but I only screamed louder...
    5. Knockout

      by , 06-10-2010 at 12:35 AM
      Type: DILD.
      Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
      Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

      This dream began with me being inside a community-type building. The walls in the building were made of a rosy, slightly yellow brick, as depicted in the image below, with the floor being a lighter eggshell blue, like in a hospital setting. I know there were signs on the walls and overhanging on the ceiling, also like in a hospital, but I cannot recall what they said or even what they were about.


      I was walking down a wide hallway in the building, and I suddenly saw the sign for a restroom. I immediately took that route, as I had to fix up my hair or something; however, I can't remember what exactly the reason was. I turned to the left into a narrow, short hallway. There was a men's restroom on the left of the hall, and a women's on the right. I went through the door of the restroom, and looked around. There was no one there; I only look in the mirror to check myself out if no one's around; I'm self-conscious that way. Anyways, I walked forward and looked in the mirror. My brown hair was shorter than it should have been; it was down to my chin instead of my shoulders. This looked bizarre, far too bizarre, and so I became lucid. I thought for a second about what I'd do, and then decided to try controlling another DC and have a fight. Practice some dream combat, or the latter. I thought the best way to do this was to get to my school and summon one of my classmates. I came up to the restroom door again and, before exiting, envisioned the door leading right into the atrium of my school. Here is the description of the school from an older entry.

      The main section of the school, right when you walk in, consists of a large, long atrium with a triangular glass roof, which allows for much light to enter the school, making it fairly airy and bright. Classrooms are on the left and right of this atrium, and near the entrance there's a large set of stairs on the right, just before the classrooms begin. The main tones in the building include light beige, light eggshell blue tiles, and accents of paler turquoise, such as on the window frames and stair handles.

      I entered the atrium after attempting to summon the location twice; the first time I opened the door, the building was dark-lit and had no similar colors. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to summoning locations in dreams, as it's one of my stronger suits. The second time I got it right, and walked right into the middle of the atrium, coming from the side. It was light, as if it were daytime, and there was no soul in sight. This would make it a tiny bit harder to summon someone, as I felt discouraged for some reason. I looked to the left, down the atrium, and then turned around, expecting one of my classmates to be there; I succeeded the first time. The classmate who appeared was a real person: she had long, solid brown hair down to her shoulders, and she was wearing a bit of makeup, even though she normally doesn't wear anything. She was also wearing jeans and a maroon tank-top, slightly loose, with a white hoodie.

      The girl immediately began walking towards me, after I came up with a quick expectation: that she'd start fighting with me. I've been finding it easier than ever to control DCs; this includes their emotions, facial expressions, and overall actions. Since I don't share as strong a belief that DCs are somehow a projection of your conscience, I find it easy to do this type of dream control.

      As soon as she got close, probably around two or three feet away, she stopped.

      Her first words were, "I'm going to get you back so good right now, and it's not even funny."

      Of course, this only made me even more excited. If I hadn't been lucid and that happened, it would have scared me. But, I was lucid, so it didn't. She then lunged forward and punched me, but I recoiled backwards, dodging it. I punched her back and she went flying a good fifty feet down the atrium.

      Find the Bloody Baby Fingers

      I came into my chemistry class and noticed that this guy was in my seat. Apparently, the other day when I had been gone, the teacher rearranged the seats. So I went up to the teacher and said "Where do I sit?" and she said something like "Well maybe if you walk around and look at people, you might remember where you sit." This didn't make any sense since I wasn't even here to get a new seat.. but I walked around for awhile anyway. I noticed that the desks were arranged in groups of 4, and most groups had a box made out of chocolate that had no top on it, along with a bunch of candy bars. The only desk I saw available didn't have chocolate on it because apparently that group didn't deserve the candy.. But I wanted some so I went back up to the teacher and said "I still don't know where I sit." and she said "Okay fine. I'll tell you where you sit if you find the bloody baby fingers in the room." Apparently, some student had fake bloody baby fingers and had put them somewhere in the room as a joke. So I started walking around the room to look for them. I noticed that another teacher was following me. I didn't want it to look like I was going through my teacher's stuff but I continued on anyway and didn't look behind me. After awhile of searching I finally looked behind me and saw that it was my friend, Allie. She said something to me and then started to help me look for the baby fingers. Then one of my friends woke me up. I was kind of mad that I didn't have the chance to find the bloody fingers and eat the chocolate..


      Free Fallin

      My mom and me and my dad were trying to prepare for our trip to Colorado to climb Pike's Peak. We were hiking up this hill thing and my sister was leading the way. We came to this hill that was covered in little streams of black, disgusting water. I said "are you sure we are supposed to go this way" and she said "ya, i go this way all the time." so I followed her. The next thing I know, the streams turned into water slides and my family and me were going down one of them. I was scared to land in the black muddy water. Then we appeared to be back at our house watching a documentary about how to prepare for the Pike's Peak trip. The into started with this guy saying something like "So, you want more adventure in your life?" and then he showed this guy standing on top of this huge, gray colored Eiffel tower type thing who looked like he was about to jump off. Then I appeared to be that guy and I jumped off the tower. It was a really amazing and scary feeling, falling to the ground below at a super fast speed. Then I hit the ground and hit my head. It only hurt a little. I landed on the curb of a road and slowly got up. I assumed that it was normal for people to fall from a distance like that and not get hurt. Then this guy came by and thought I was the guy from the tv who was originally going to be the one to jump off. He wanted something from me, I don't know what.. some kind of contract... That's all I remember.

      Chemistry Class

      I was in chemistry class(this is my second LD that started in chem class..) when I realized that I was lucid. I looked down at my hands but they looked normal. This didn't stop me though. I looked around and noticed that everything was exactly the same as real life. I was sitting in the same seat. I got up, kind of nervous that maybe I wasn't dreaming, but went up to the teacher at the front of the class and said "I don't care!" because she was talking about some boring chem stuff... In reply she said "Why?" and I said "Because I'm lucid dreaming!" and she started saying stuff but I ignored her and started trying to figure out what to do next. I attempted to fly right there in the class but that didn't work. I didn't want to lose my dream so I just kept myself calm and walking around the classroom for a little while. Then I decided to go outside and attempt to fly. The fastest way out was the window, so I went over to it and gave it a good kick, which broke it. I went through it and jumped out of it, attempting to fly, which worked a little but then I floated back down to the ground. I don't remember what happened after that.. but I don't remember waking up or anything.. I must have just lost the LD.

      Tripping in Class

      I was in my 6th hour class, which has stairs that the desks are seated on, like you would see at a college. I don't remember how or why, but I tripped on the stairs and went tumbling down until I hit my head on something at the bottom of the steps. I sat laying there, not knowing what to do. My teacher went to see if I was okay, and I didn't respond so he called someone. He seemed annoyed and didn't really care(pretty much how he is in RL). I slowly got up, and some time later this other girl from my class fell down the stairs too. Once again, the teacher didn't seem to care, or notice this time. Then I think I woke up.


      Dating a Random Kid

      I was sitting on the bleachers at a pep rally, I think, next to this kid from one of my classes. He was a little bit bigger, and I think on the wrestling team. He hugged me and I leaned on his shoulder. Apparently we were dating. I didn't really know what to say to him and felt bad for not talking much so I just cuddled with him. I don't remember any more of this dream.. when I woke up, I was like "what the hell?" hehe.

      School

      I was eating my regular lunch in the school cafeteria, not sitting by my regular spot and not sitting by my friends for some reason. I ate slowly, taking my time with each bite. Before I got the change to open the string cheese, I looked up at the clock and noticed that it was time for the bell to ring. I quickly cleaned up, but after a minute I realized that the bell had not rung. I thought that maybe it was going to ring ten minutes later today for some reason. So I started to open up my string cheese and took a bite. Out of nowhere, the bell rang. I stuffed part of the cheese in my mouth and threw the rest away. As I walked down the front school hallway, I noticed some kids turn on a radio loud and turn on flashing lights. A bunch of people started to crowd around them. I didn't care to stop and join them, so I continued on my way to my locker. As I approached the blue locker hallway, I noticed that it was getting really hard to walk for some reason. I thought this was normal for me and I didn't want to get embarrassed by it so I took slow steps, but fell down. I grabbed the corner of the hall and used it to pull myself up. After I turned the corner, I walked fine the rest of the way towards my locker. I gathered my things for 6th hour and then looked around. I saw hardly anyone in sight, and wondered where they all were. I looked back in the cafeteria and saw tons of people from the next lunch hour their. For some reason, I bought a lunch and sat down next to these two boys. I looked at the clock and thought I would be late so I asked them if they wanted my food(what was the point?). I thought of eating in in Mr. E's room because he allowed food, but I didn't want to look like a freak with a whole lunch tray so I just left it for one of the boys and went to class. When I got into my seat, I thought about how I didn't like the shirt I was wearing. A second later I appeared in my room, looking for a different shirt to wear. I found two of the shirts that I own, but they looked different and pretty. Then I woke up at around 2:30am.


      The Huge Turtle and the Odd Little Shop Owner

      I was going to school, going past Target(which is not the direction of my actual school). I saw my friend Allie go by and whisper for me to get in the car with her(she doesn't have her license.) So I got in, but the second we turned the corner we were on bikes for some reason. Then the road turned into a pathway, like the ones I walk on up north. We saw a bunch of turtles and I thought "Oh, I should come back here and catch one so that my baby turtle(yes, I have a baby turtle.. named Cupcake..) won't be lonely. We then saw this HUGE turtle that looked like the one I caught with a fishing pole a while back(TRUE story..). So I went up to it but then my friend(not sure if it was still Allie) stopped and was in this tiny little shop. I bent down and looked inside. I wanted to buy a paper clip from the tiny store but couldn't find the owner. When I did catch a glimpse of him, he was a little yellow thing.. it was really weird.
      Then I woke up.

    10. The classtest

      The classtest (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I sat in the school. The teacher gave es sheets of paper. It seems, that it was a class test. On the sheet of paper was written, that we should imagine we would have survived a shipsinking and now we are on a lifeboat. A few metres away is the shipwreck. The task was to save the people in the shipwreck. On the sheet was a list with stuff we could use.
      On the other side of it were the solutions. (The first thing we should use were mices. O.o)
      My classmate Kris sat on the left of me. He always talked to me about his solutions and asked me, if they were right.
      I had to write my answers again and again on the sheet. I always had to erase it, because the task were that inarticulate. I really was desperate at the end and
      I was glad, as I woke up.


      Greetings from Germany,
      Matthias.

    11. Awards and a Creeping Man

      by , 06-09-2010 at 02:28 PM
      Type: regular dream.
      Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
      Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

      Last night was divided into two distinct segments.

      The first segment involved me being at the church where we hold my school's closing ceremonies each year. The air was dustier than usual, but the ceiling was high and triangular like it should have been, enclosing the room which was very spacious. The church's walls were wide wooden panels and there were long benches, three in each row, slightly curving around the front stage area, also made of polished wood. There were unrecognizable people, probably students, sitting comfortably in the benches. I was called up to the stage by the principal of my school (who was the only person I could actually recognize).

      I got to the stage and walked towards a table, sprinkled with green and orange glitter. It looked pretty bad and cheesy, like a big birthday party table or something. I knew this even in the dream, but I didn't say anything. There were five or six papers laid out on the table, and I picked each of them up. One of them read "Shel Solversten Award", which wasn't a real award. Written below the name of the award was "for having the best signed piece of artwork".

      Once I got my awards, I didn't shake hands with the principal as I would do in real life. Instead, I walked right out of the building through an exit to the left of the stage. The steel double doors swung open as I pushed both of them at once, and I found myself on the side of a street. I looked back and there wasn't a church anymore, but a store. It was a brick building painted blue, around the size of a pawn shop, with large glass windows. In the window display there were those pink and white dogs like from Victoria's Secret.


      I walked in, the award papers now magically gone from my hand, and went into a fitting room at the back of the store. This "fitting room" was more like a bathroom stall. There were three in a row, all pure white except for the metal hinges that squeaked when I opened the door, and there were inch-wide cracks on either side where the door closed. This made me uncomfortable, so I positioned myself in the stall where no one could look in. After all, there was a bench of people outside (but right in front of) the stalls. I sat in there for a few seconds and looked out the left-hand side of the door. I saw a man sitting on the bench, a few feet away. He was slightly overweight and looked really grubby, almost like a criminal or something. I locked eyes with him and thought, creeper, then moved over so I was hidden once again by the door.

    12. Unreality Check, and Implausibly Plausible Explanation / Bark at the Moon (6-7 June 2010)

      Dream 1 - Unreality Check

      I only recall doing a nose pinch reality check to find that it worked and that it didn't prevent my breathing. Then I did a finger count reality check and had trouble counting all 10 fingers. I kept losing count and found that by the end of the second hand I was up to 6, but was sure I'd counted even more than 10 -- it was odd. I woke straight up and didn't realise I was dreaming and become lucid. I am unable to recall anything about the scene I was in, if there was even a scene at all.

      This is how I do my reality checks when awake. I usually do a nose pinch followed by double checking with a finger count. It's bloody annoying that I seem to have done this in a dream and didn't become lucid. I do wonder if it woke me up though... hm...

      Dream 2 - PART 1 - Implausibly Plausible Explanation

      I was back at secondary school sitting a History GCSE exam. It was a two part exam, and I was sitting the first part. I was at a total loss trying to answer an essay question that I knew barely anything about. I hadn't done any revision or really paid any attention to anything over the course of the school year.

      Much like my real life self back at school, except I wasn't able to wing it in the dream and do alright despite my lack of preparation.

      Anyway, it was now some days later on a Friday morning. I had a History lesson that morning and the History second exam was coming up soon. I was determined to do a ton of revision and no balls up the rest of the exam.

      I went downstairs to the kitchen and my mum was there. We spoke about how I had just been off school all week and had to go back -- what a drag. I asked why I had been off from school for 4 days of the week since it seemed odd. She said that the Monday had been a bank holiday. I asked about the rest of the week and she told me that I had just stayed off for a little holiday and that the school had still been open.

      Suddenly I realised I'd missed a Maths exam and an English exam during the week. Shit! My mind flashed to scenes of friends at school wondering where I had been. Then I paused for thought and realised I'd already been through school years ago. Why was I still there? My mind seemed to explain this by somehow convincing me that I had just gone back there voluntarily, as had several other people. I was relieved that missing these exams didn't matter because I'd already done them years ago and decided to quit going back to school voluntarily.

      Curse my dreaming mind for creating an implausible plausible explanation. I wonder if my mind questioned that looking for dream signs (of which I identify anything relating to secondary school as) and my mind managed to explain it away? Anyway, another lucid opportunity lost.

      The scene changed at this point in to something totally different, but it was still part of a single dream period...

      Dream 2 - PART 2 - Bark at the Moon

      I was living in a village with my family (mum, dad, and elder brother.) Somehow it was revealed that myself and my brother, G, were adopted. We were still biological siblings and had been adopted at the same time when I was a baby and he was a young kid.

      In reality my brother is 10 years older than me. In the dream I got the sense he was more like 3 or 4 years older.

      We also discovered that we had another biological brother called Jason. He had just moved to the village with his adoptive family.

      It was all over the news and in the papers about how my grandfather (mother's father) had been running some kind of dodgy adoption racket before. There was this woman who my grandfather was in cahoots with being interviewed about it and she explained that just before the whole thing went tits up my grandfather still had 4 children, all siblings, in his care. They were each a set of twins, one older set and one younger. One of each of the sets of twins were given to different families and the remaining two, myself and my brother, were given to my parents.

      There was also another story getting a lot of attention. A local legend about "The Wolf Mama". The Wolf Mama was said to be a half-woman half-wolf creature that bore 4 human children. She was described as having the body of a wolf with the torso of a human woman (like a centaur, but a wolf.) Her head was also that of a wolf. Her torso was split open from top to bottom, gaping wide open. Protruding from inside of her were 4 straight "horns". Two went through each of her nipples, pointing upwards, and the other two protruded from the sides of her abdominal area pointing downwards. Horrific, but also a legend... a creature of myth... right?

      I went to see Jason. He wasn't interested in talking. I found him in a field putting up a fence. I stayed to help him, trying to get him to talk about it. He said he had a younger brother and sister and was happy with the family he had -- he didn't want his life to change.

      It grew dark. The mud was thick on the ground. The moon began to shine... a full moon. Jason turned and stared at the moon. Suddenly he bolted off. I turned to see him running up a small hill. He stopped. I chased after him, and when I caught up I saw him staring up at the moon intently. I looked up and in the moon I could make out the image of The Wolf Mama! I was shocked. Turning to Jason I sensed he was about to transform -- probably in to a werewolf!!!

      THEN I WAS WOKEN UP BY SOMEONE KNOCKING ON THE DOOR!

      I was pretty pissed off. My heart was racing and felt like it was going to rip through my chest. Why oh why did I have to get woken just at the big reveal! Now I have unanswered questions like why wasn't the moon affecting me? What would Jason have transformed in to? Where is the 4th brother? Gah![/QUOTE]

    13. Forest Fragment, Ducking Nonsense, and WTF Are you Doing? (5-6 June 2010)

      Dream 1 - Forest Fragment

      I just had a flash of a memory when I woke in the night. I was too tired to force myself to remember and dozed off.

      I was in a forest. I think it was dark.

      Dream 2 - Ducking Nonsense

      I was back at school and felt that I was also school age, around 14. There was some weird kindof charity promotional thing going on in association with the BBC. My school picked me to represent it, which I was pissed off about.

      Heh. My school was a bit like this in reality. Pushing people in to doing things which also pissed me off and made me rebel (or at least try to.)

      I had to show up somewhere and sing a verse of a song. However, I decided that because the BBC is a bias state run media company, I wasn't going to take part. There was some other kid from somewhere else who thought the same and egged me on. I was determined to wreck it.

      Pretty true to my views on the BBC in real life.

      So, me and the other kid ducked it somehow. One of the other kids was a bit of a smug git and told me I was a bad person for ruining a charity thing. I told him that I did it out of principle. However he told me that I had apparently done some TV commercial in the US for some product sold by some company that was a known human rights abuser in some part of the world so that meant I was un-principled. Nice argument, but I replied that I also held the principle that if you're giving me money, I don't give a shit who you are or what you do.

      I don't really think that!

      Dream 3 - WTF Are you doing?

      I was a footballer and I was stood in the dressing room with my team. The dressing room in the scene was the boys dressing room from my secondary school. Another player was trying to tell everyone that drinking a litre bottle of apple cordial (squash) and pouring a bag of crushed crisps down your pants will make you play better.

      For those of you in the US, football = soccer in this instance. Oh, and crisps = chips.

      I just remember thinking that it would just rot his teeth and make him look silly. Anyway I refused. The guy next to me said he'd drink the cordial for the sugar, but the crisps sounded weird. There were no other takers.

      Anyway, the crazy footballer tells to the guy next to him to fetch the stuff. He downs the bottle in like 2 seconds and then tells the other guy to crush up the crisps really small. He then pours the crisps -- which appear to be an enormous packet -- down his pants. I realise he has these massive black clown-like baggy pants on.

      I hate football so I don't know why I had this dream. Maybe it's because of the constant bombardment of World Cup nonsense on TV.[/QUOTE]

    14. Mmm... Wheat Thins

      by , 06-08-2010 at 10:01 PM (Burke's Nightly Escapades)
      Black = AwakeBlue = LucidRed = Dream

      Location: Global class at school

      The dream started off with my global teacher handing out a packet that we hand to finish by the end of class, which was on a movie we were watching. I asked if I could go to the bathroom and she said, "Sure, just sign out," so I did and proceeded to the bathroom. The dream then skipped ahead about 30 minutes and when I came back I was the only one in the classroom. I sat in the desk next to her desk (which is where it was at the beginning of the semester) and started talking to her while drinking a bottle of soda i had apparently bought. We had a little bit of mindless conversation which i don't quite remember the details of, but she then asked me, "Shouldn't you finish you packet?" So i responded, "Oh yeah, I forgot about that."

      So, before I went back to my seat, I bought a 100 calorie pack of wheat things from a vending machine that was apparently on her desk. I walked over to my desk on the opposite side of the room, where it is currently in waking life. I sat down, and started watching the movie. For some reason it was about a group of 4 or 5 people who were entering a rap competition, which was weird because I personally hate rap. After watching it for a minute or two, I opened my wheat thins and noticed there was much less than usual. This made me kind of annoyed so I grabbed one and ate it. The thing is, it tasted exactly like it did in real life, so I didn't really have a chance to become lucid I looked back at the movie and noticed that the 4 rappers were in a bathroom stall for some reason just talking in private. I turns out that their heads were replaced by the little graham sandwiches you can get. They were all yelling, "What happened!?" "Why is my head a graham cracker!?" Which, at this point,
      I woke up.

    15. Cinnamon Coffee Rolls

      by , 06-08-2010 at 09:52 PM (Burke's Nightly Escapades)
      Black = AwakeBlue = LucidRed = Dream

      Location: High School Lunch Room

      I was sitting in the lunch room in my high school talking with some friends when i decided to go to the vending machine and get some food. When i walked over, all the usual things were in there. Chips, pop tarts and a couple danishes. But then i noticed something new. There were cinnamon coffee rolls for 38 cents! I had 50 cents with me so i decided to buy one, and it was amazing. Never tasted a cinnamon roll so good in my life. After I finished eating it, I had a FA, in which i looked at the clock, it said 3:17, and i decided to go back to bed.



      When i was back in the dream, i noticed that the rolls were now 62 cents, so i asked around the lunch room for 50 cents, since i still had 12 leftover from the earlier purchase. After asking about 10 peopl, my friend Alec gave me 2 quarters and gave me a hg. I then ran back to buy one, but they were all gone! I was so sad that
      I woke up.
