Again, I only remember 2 dreams, and I was trying to WILD before bed, and screwed up and fell asleep. I'm going to post the interesting one second, even though it came first. Just because.

The Theft
Non-Lucid
We were in some kind of large house, maybe a funeral home, but it was huge and had many levels. I remember we were attending some kind of gathering with two main groups. The white family and the black family. (I'm not racist, Idk why I dreamed this) Anyway, someone from the black family stole something. Whatever it was it was very valuable. I got the impression that it was some kind of magic crystal or something. Anyway, everybody freaked out majorly, and we separated the two families to the two sides of the house. We (the white family, though it wasn't my actual family) started searching for whatever it was that was stolen, and came across some black members. For some reason they started beating them with anything they could find. It then became a massive battle between the two groups. We all started fighting with pool cues and stairway banisters, chair legs, anything we could find to hit each other. After a while the groups became mixed, it wasn't the white vs black family anymore, they both had white and black members. Anyway, we led squads to go secure rooms and areas still searching for the ... whatever it was. I was a leader of a small squad and became separated from them. When I walked into a room, I found my girlfriend (who I understood to be on the other side), and I pulled her aside and gave her a hug. I then continued searching for the missing item. I had a few encounters with some enemy ppl. Wonked them on the head with my banister and continued on. (I can't remember what happened for a while) Eventually I found a bunch of them, including my girlfriend, in a study with what I recognize to be the stolen item. By now it had manifested itself as a pad of paper (Lol this is probably because I've been working so hard to remember to write in my dream journal) Somehow I decide to become a double agent, but still recognize the need for me to return the lost object, so I warned the family that I needed to call in my team and most of them left. I woke up now.

The Game
Non-Lucid
In this dream some other young adults (18-22ish) and myself were attending some kind of academy. We had regular studies and then periodically we had this game. (The whole thing reminded me of the book Ender's Game, where they had studies, but the game was extremely important as well) Anyway, in this game we were transported to this barren, half destroyed city, and were given weapons. (I know it wasn't real to us, it may have been some kind of virtual reality or Matrix type thing. No plugs though) We had present day weapons: MP5s, AK47s, SAWs, Grenade launchers, all kinds of good stuff. Anyway, I think it was everyman for him self. There were mostly guys, but there were several girls. We just ran around blowing eachother up. Our class leader/teacher/whatever was a 30ish black woman with short dreadlocks and silver+topaz beads at the end of each. I don't remember specific skirmishes, but I do remember the end it came down to 3 of us. There were me and a friend, and then this girl with long, straight, black hair and was armed with a RPG. She killed us both with 1 rocket. I remember comming back to the training center laughing about it, and joking that I got killed by a girl. Fun Fun.

Okay tonight I had two memorable dreams. I was trying to WILD before falling asleep, but screwed up and fell asleep.

Dream 1 'KFC'
Non Lucid, Fragment
I was working super late at KFC, cleaning up the restaurant, pretty much sweeping and mopping for what felt like hours. [I don't work there anymore, but I did for a few years] The only strange part was that my old manager, present employees, and gradeschool friends were also there. We pretty much just walked around, swept, and talked the whole time.

Dream 2 'Inception'
Non Lucid
[I watched Inception 2 weeks ago, and was trying to WILD before bed, which is probably what brought on such a strange dream] Okay, a little backstory behind this dream. Apparently in this dream, there are 8 levels of consiousness, each of which are destroyed after a set period. If the inhabitants of the planet don't move on to the next level, they die [or something] The destruction of each level was prophesied so we had some warning. [It had something to do with the position of planets and stars in the galaxy... or something] I arrived in some sort of conference with all the inhabitants (maybe 200 - 300 ppl) in an outdoor amphitheater of sorts. There were charts on the wall depicting the position of the stars, like nebulae clusters. The speaker was talking about how we all needed to travel to the next deeper phase [I sort of remember him saying dream, but not sure] Maybe it was some kind of matrix realm, Dunno. Anyway, We were being reminded that the time was near and if we didn't go deeper, we would die. When traveling to the next phase, one must go down this humongous inflatable slide (Maybe 150ft tall), at the same time as they descend planes consciously. Nobody was quite sure on how to travel to the next phase, and people were going down the slide, and just flying off the end, and getting injured because it was so tall. I was nervous about going down, and didn't want to go until I was sure I knew how to do it. I started asking around, and me this DC who was a compilation of several of my friends, and we began searching and asking around for clues on how to descend. Eventually we came up with some ideas, and just as we were discussing them, we approached the slide to see my dad at the top. I was worried for him because others went down and were injured because they didn't do it right, and didn't descend to the deeper phase. Well he hopped on the slide and started rocketing down, but when he got near the bottom there was this swirl of color and light [Like using the 'New-U' stations on Borderlands] and he was gone. I got really excited and ran up to the ladder, though I was still nervous. I hopped on, and started down. I can't remember exactly what I did, but whatever I did worked, and there was this huge swirl of color and light, and I woke up.

This was my first night at attempting to write in a dream journal and recalling my dreams. I'll continue to do so in the future, but it's getting late, and I'm sleepy. I'm gonna try another WILD tonight, and maybe dream about zombies or something. G'night all!
