Zombies

It started off looking like a left 4 dead dream. I was playing with three computers as teammates, and as such they were expendable. We were in a five story building, in a stairwell that very nearby had a ladder shaft that did not have visual access to the stairwell. We climbed up the stairs and upon reaching the top, were beset by a horde of zombies. When the dust settled, all three of my computer allies were dead and I was left alone. I started to go down the stairs and came face to face with the tank. He had about half health left, so I deducted that one or two of my teammates must have died fighting him and now he was apparently stuck in this stairwell, having decided not to come charging after the rest of us. I quietly backed up the stairs and he didn't see me. I decided that I could escape if I went down the ladder that was beside the stairwell.
There is either a memory gap or the dream shifts to me attempting to do laundry.

Trivial

I had had my clothes in the laundry and they were washed but my sister had things in the dryer that were still wet. I asked her if I could use the dryer before I had to go to work. She said she needed to. I went back to the laundry machine and poured some of the liquid detergent onto a rag. The machine was full of clean water. I repeatedly filled the lid of the detergent with water and squeezed some of the detergent from the rag into the lid, making a more diluted detergent than what had been in the bottle. I poured many of these cups into the washing machine, but then as the water level was higher than it was set to, the washing machine emptied some of the water. I noticed the water getting clearer, then realized that because the detergent was denser it was sinking to the bottom, and had been draining out as I put more and more water in. I then put my hand in the water to raise the water level, so some would drain out. As I removed my hand I poured more in so that the water level would stay constant. After finishing that, I realized that I had already washed this load of laundry, said d'oh sadly and moved on.
I moved out to a large hall where my sister, her friend and an older man I didn't recognize were talking. I began telling them how stupid I had been but in the middle the older man started to leave and the other two were talking, so I walked with the old man until I finished telling him, afterwards he chuckled and then I returned to the other two, who were now talking about a bi-weekly auction. I don't remember what the auction was about but they went on about it for a while before the dream shifted again.

Vibes

Leela was sitting in a chair while the other man, her co-worker, sat across from her. He got up and started to talk. He said “do you ever lay on the ground and think about the void?” he lay down on the floor staring up at the roof. Leela went to lay down beside him and looked up at the roof. Her eyes were open but the roof became a cartoon white with black clouds on it. The clouds swirled around and were manipulatable. I do not like to think of darkness, and my paranoia of her coworker kept her from focusing on the black clouds and instead tried to make the void white. She tried to force the clouds out of the vision but they were not fully under her control. She was able to wave them aside, compress them in the center or clear an area, but they were always on the edges still. She controlled them by imagining border lines and using them to wipe the clouds away. The clouds deformed as if they were a gelatin. After a while of trying to clear the clouds, she finally gave up and said “I see a void of white with black clouds.” and he responded, “It's normal to see white with black clouds when thats whats in the sky.” Then she looked at him and saw a wave ripple across an area of him. “Vibes,” she said as she pointed. They then started moving around, experimenting with these vibes. She brushed her hair with her foot, but it was a smooth motion that seemed normal, not awkward. There was an extremely relaxed feeling and after a time of moving around in a manner, a lot of which was Leela playing with her cartoon purple hair, he said, “You're really beautiful, you know that?” They could see a small vibration form in her neck and ripple out through her. After a short time of more vibrations, instantly everything went black and a black man (not black skinned, but black in mood, personality, clothing and hair) filled the view and yelled, “I'll kill you while you sleep” in a voice like the two faced guy from the commercial for sanctuary when he says “watch your back.” I woke instantly, terrified.

In retrospect the entire “vibes” part of the dream dream had a very similar feeling to when I was doing mushrooms the second time and at a particular time was in a state where I felt connected to my four friends in the room. I would average out their heights so if one of them was laying down on my left, and one was sitting up on my right, I would be leaning downwards to my left. If one of them was sitting forward but the other three were leaning back against the wall I would be nearly against the wall but a bit forward. There was a period where it felt like I was in a trance and just allowed my body to twirl and move. At one point I felt like I had only something like a ball socket joint connecting me at the center, and my upper portion did a full 360 degree spin, forwards, not in a circular twirling motion

In the first dream, a bunch of stuff happened (dont remember this part at all) and it ended with me on a train looking around. I saw a girl I thought was beautiful and as the train was leaving for somewhere new, It was prophecized that we would fall in love. The first dream ends here.
The second dream starts and i can remember myself running beside a large concrete building with lots of large windows, underneath a concrete overhang with cylindical pillars to my right supporting the overhang. I was chasing someone that looked very familiar. Someone that looked exactly like me. I threw glass bottles forward at the person but they looked back and dodged them, I looked back to see another person chasing me, and it also looked like me. The person was also throwing bottles at me but i was able to dodge their bottles also ... i threw a bottle back at that person and hit them in the back of the head ... they had been looking back ... suddenly i was hit in the back of the head with a bottle (the bottles shattered on impact, not cutting simply dazing for a second) but I kept running... i looked forward again to see the person infront of me throwing bottles at me, and suddenly i realized the people behind and ahead of me didnt just look like me, they were me ... and when i threw bottles at him, the bottles came from the me that i was chasing and hit me in the back of the head. After figuring this out, this part of the dream faded away.
I was in a dim T shaped underpass, with stairs upwards being the center branch and the left and right being large doorways leaving the area. The top of the T shape had a ledge going inwards for two feet at a height of around 4 feet. Everything was made of concrete, and there were no doors in the doorways. I was standing there talking with the girl. I set my backpack down on the ledge and we walked a short distance away from the bag along the ledge. I felt that by leaving the bag there and walking away with her, i was putting a lot of trust in her. Suddenly she started kissing me, and we were making out. After a short period of time, i opened my eyes and looked at my bag to see someone standing there, my bag gone.
The man saw me looking at him, hesitated for a second then ran towards the stairs upwards. I set her down gently and ran after the man, and as i approached the stairs i saw her looking after me with a sad look on her face. I reached the man and grabbed him by the backpack and pulled him backwards ... i realized he did not have my bag and that one of the two other men that were suddenly infront of him must have it ... i realized then that i had made a mistake, and i would have been happier not chasing after my bag, but i had to prove something to her. I also knew suddenly when the man behind me grabbed at my arms that I should have allowed myself to hurt him instead of simply pulling him backwards to prevent him from helping his other two friends, as i was outnumbered 3 to 1 now. I felt a bag go over my head and i could barely struggle as i felt a second, larger bag go over my entire body. I woke up and the second dream ended.
The third dream.
I woke up inside of one of the other unknown three men's house, but wasn't bounded. He was talking to me and as we talked i felt we became friends. After a longer period of time of talking, he asked me to trust him on something (he wasnt asking me for anything I dont think, but im not sure), and I thought to myself, this is not someone i should trust, but he seems like a good person, so I will. I remember saying peace brother, and tapping his fist with mine, then joking that I probably couldn't have done that any “whiter,”to which he responded with a freindly laugh and said it was pretty bad but he'd seen worse. The next thing I knew, I was being bounded again, feeling like i was in serious trouble, but then the man who had been standing where my bag was opened up a box that had a gift i had intended to give the girl, and it was a pair of shoes so nice that they, combined with my earlier trust, caused the men to release me.

The next thing i knew, the men and i and some other people were at a place that looked like team fortress 2 (rectangular arena style areas, with entrance points on either end, somewhat cartoony terrain), and our mission was to get through a series of these arenas, with different challenges along the way. I remember being searched before entering some of the arenas, somewhat worried that they would find the pot that I had on me, but no one did, and i soon forgot about the drugs and it was like they were no longer on me. At one point I realized the girl that i had been prophecized to fall in love with was also running the gauntlet, and after some period of time i remember her saying “I just want to get this over with and have a baby,” to which i had mixed feelings about. I didnt feel like I knew her well enough but i was happy that she felt that way about me. I was going to decide to agree with her, but remembered something, and decided to say instead that I wanted to but i dont know her well enough yet, but was willing to get there in time. I never actually responded to her before I woke up.

im standing there and i pull my hand to my nose. I think to myself I'm dreaming! I contemplate what I should do. I fly around a little bit, then think I should do something epic. I see a railing like the frame of a roller coaster that goes up and does some twists. I jump up onto it spinning at odd angles and keeping my balance. As i jump onto it i think about what I can feel. I think about what it is like to be every particle of matter in the universe. I hear a lot of noise (voices chattering unintelligibly), but see nothing. I find myself somewhere else. I think to do a reality check and realize I'm dreaming. I stabilize the dream because it feels weak. After rubbing the ground, which is a hard wood floor that feels amazingly realistic, i notice a black garbage bag in my right hand and I feel that too. I remember I need to try to use all my senses so I try to get some food. I look around and all i can see is boxes of kraft dinner, so thats all I can think of but i really want a cookie. I close my eyes for a microsecond and picture a nice, round, doughy, stereotypical chocolate chip cookie. I open my eyes again and past a bowl of kraft dinner there is a chocolate chip cookie with kraft dinner in it. I eat it but i dont remember the taste. I wake up.

As a side note i had been drinking the night before, and have not had a lucid in a week or two.

I am half awake and realize I am dreaming. I don’t know how I managed to stay asleep, but apparently my dream senses were still intact because I managed to rub the ground in my dream while being more awake than not. I rub the ground and kept my eyes shut and I keep focusing on the dream and I start to fall backwards, rolling as I fall. I keep telling myself I’m dreaming as I fall. I realize that I am falling through the sky, heading downwards. My first thought is that if I can’t manage to fly, I’ll hit the ground and there will be a big explosion as if I were a meteor, but I will be fine. Almost immediately after I finish the thought, I roll over and put my arms out and am flying. I fly for a short while, not feeling any wind or seeing much of the ground or anything really around me, then I’m in my room. I am struggling not to be in the same position as my sleep body. I feel everything, and breathe in the air. I taste my mouth and am amazed by how realistic everything is. (*I think the taste in my mouth was actually my waking sense because it’s the same taste I’ve got now and I need to brush my teeth*) I am rolling around trying to stand up. I struggle with trying to get up and be steady for what seems like 2 or 3 minutes. My walls and roof have small metal circles every 6 inches or so, covering the entire left wall and roof. I don’t really see towards the wall where my desk is, but I’m fairly sure I see my desk. I look to the right wall where the head of my bed is, and between my bed and my desk there is a window. I think to myself, I was just flying ... a girl I know should be tapping me on the shoulder right now. Very shortly after I think this I wake up.

I was creating a map of spain, the north eastern half. Someone had said Barcelona, and I was thinking to myself, where is that? I look at spain and its divided into chunks, provinces. They closely resemble the hearts of Iron map. The north eastern quarter is perfect. I look over to the north western part and try to form the borderlines of the map there too. I look down to the centre and have a little trouble with burgos, but position Madrid properly. I follow the western side of spain, the border with Portugal, and divide it up properly. I get down to Seville, and have a little issue with the south eastern border of the province. I am trying to form it when i hear something about someones father putting some lumber camps down right at the southern part of it. The dream is slowly shifting to another part. Someone is saying isn’t it funny when your best enemy is also your best family? Somehow that is connected to someone telling me their dad is weird, all he does is play football on the 360.
I am watching a hockey game. One of the announcers says something, and repeats one word a whole bunch of times. A few seconds later he turns the mic up towards his face more, and says “feedback”. One of the hockey players on the ice now has a microphone, and he says “I like to think of us as a particle collision simulator on ice.” Some stuff is going on for a while, then I’m playing. I skate horribly slow, and everyone else is really fast. Someone is coming at me with the puck. I manage to slow them down and keep the puck away from them, but it goes between my skates and behind me. Some more stuff happens, and i realize that a lot of people are sitting down. It’s a leafs game and the leafs are down by 9 goals. I’m the only one still trying. The puck is in their end and their goalie is getting it. She gets it, but its now a football, and she’s holding onto it. I skate up to her and say “come on, give me a shot” ... she looks at the clock and shrugs, there’s only 10 seconds left. She throws the football, and i try to handle it but it bounces off to the right more, I get control of it but the clock is at like 2 seconds. I look at it then say, the football was too hard to control ... but then the announcer says “what’s going on with the clock!?” I look up and there’s 12 seconds now, instead of 2 (*i should have realized i was dreaming =(... but it was a hockey scoreboard and i don’t see those often. Also I was trying to score a goal*). I move the football towards the net, the goalie is looking at the clock and there’s an opening. I take it with only my right hand on the stick, facing in the same direction as the net, and i shoot it in, and score! I cheer, but we still lost horribly.

Pat and Adam and one other person are signing up for some support the children charity thing or something like that and i wander a little ways off. I come back and think I should sign up too, because that’s what a good friend would do. I go to the desk to sign up, and pat and Adam and the other guy are there, and I see them looking at a magazine that has women in it but they aren’t naked, and i hear one of them say “man normally id be seeing women without clothes right now,” and then I hear one of them say “yeah normally id be playing fallout 3 right now.” As I’m trying to sign up, the man behind the counter walks off to my left and I try to get his attention but someone yells “dodge ball!” and I’m instantly hit in the face with a water balloon, and I can’t see. I wander around for a bit, then someone is directing me. After a few seconds I realize we’re going in the wrong direction so i try to pull away. I open my eyes to see a field and the one man, I try to get out of his grip by pulling his hands off of mine, by hitting him in the face, then by biting him on the nose. When I bite his nose, it falls apart. I pull at the hole and his entire face crumbles away to reveal a stereotypical alien. I am in a giant cell. Everything zooms out and I see the whole prison. It’s a large, square, gray building with a single entrance and exit. There are a lot of cells all facing inwards and massive guards standing on either side of some of the cells. I am on an upper floor. I think to myself, “all the other prisoners are trapped in here, just waiting for someone to rescue them, but I’m awesome, and I’m going to break out. I think to myself “This is an epic dream, I should write in my dream journal now so I don’t forget it. It will also be good because it will keep me calm for all of the work I have to do now. I start to write, and as I’m writing I throw a dart and hit something exactly where I wanted to, then I jump and run up a wall in my cell, and the next thing I know, pat and Adam are leading me down a road back towards the camp. I keep hearing “the road where nothing goes” in a blurry voice. Everything is really trippy. When I look around, everything goes by in a blur. I keep trying to focus on things but everything is distorted. I’m in a third person perspective now, and i see and hear Adam and pat talking to someone else, and they’re saying “yeah we found him in the field but the idiot just keeps trying to wander down that road where nothing goes” Everything’s blurry again and I’m not sure exactly what happens but I remember hearing sex is awesome when you’re high, then I wake up.

Im moving in to a new university. It is massive. The school has a running train and escalators and dorms all incorporated into it. Im in my new room, and my roommate turns out to be some sort of arab prince. I am laying in bed reading when my roommate comes in my room to ask me something. He has a big friend with him and he comes in as well, but my room is large and it’s not crowded. My roommate leaves my room and I follow him out. There is a massive half moon shaped area, probably the size of our commons (approx 40ftx20ft with a 15-20ft roof), but cylindrical and has large white pillars going up to the roof. There are a lot of people there, tons of very good looking girls. I walk around for a while, and started talking to some people. I remember it seeming like an MSN chat conversation for a while, and a third person is invited to the chat room by one of the people I was talking to. I said something like “now it’s a free for all.” I stop talking to these people and walk around for a short period of time again, and I think to myself “I should tell Adam about this, there are a lot of really good looking girls here and this party is sick.” I come to a corner area that is like 6 feet wide and 5 feet deep. I am standing to the right side of the area, and there is a ledge that is about 3 feet off the ground in front of me, as well as one like 6 feet off the ground to my left. I lift one leg high and step up onto the first ledge, then look at the second ledge which seemed higher, and wondered if I could step up onto it or if I had to climb. An Indian woman (dot kind not the feather kind) carrying a basket walks past me on the ledge into the direction of the back wall to my right, but I didn’t see if there was actually a wall there. I am standing on the taller ledge now, looking down towards the ground. There is a small elevated square with a smaller tile surrounded by dirt that I could jump to, or I could go back the way I came up, but that was all concrete. I decide to go down to the tile way. I jump down and as I land I knock down a bunch of small poker chip-like things that had been stacked up the entire wall from the dirt to the upper area. An Indian man looked at me from my right, disappointed. As I start to stack it up again, he and another man come and help me restack them, “if we all help it will get done faster.” I start walking around the party again, and i think to myself, “I should get drunk!” (to better socialize with all the people), then I remember I have a test tonight, so I think “I should study.” I look at the clock, and see its 10pm now. I think to myself oh no I missed my test! I look back to the clock and see its 7pm, so I should go to my test now. I realize I am wearing a hood, I take off a sweater, then another and then another (my RL room was really hot). I go to my room, walk in, and head over to my desk and bed. All of my stuff is gone, and there is a random object on the desk. I pick it up and yell what the f***!? I look over towards the other side of the room and there is a girl standing there looking at me. I go outside and look at the room number, and realize I’m in the 1600 section. I start walking out into the school to head back to my rooms. I get lost, and come up to some escalators down. I go on them, and they start off relatively slow, but then I hear a man’s voice over a speaker saying “are you reeaddyy?” and all the people on the escalators are like “yeahhh!” All of a sudden the escalator starts going down really fast, and gets really steep. The hand rails are like a thick yellow rubber rope, and Im holding on to both of them, but the escalator stairs are going down (vertically, not speed wise) faster than the hand rails, so I lift off the ground. I quickly let go of the hand rails and am back on the stairs, zipping downwards. I hold onto the handrails again, but this time as I let go, I go flying upwards (or the stairs are going down faster than I am), I do a flip, and land on my feet in the escalator isle to my left. A bunch of people commented on how awesome it was or something like that. The escalator gets to a flatter area where people are using their feet to pull back small strips of rubber (like in a grocery store the turney thingies you put your groceries on) that charge up, I notice this and run off the escalators to my right. I see a girl running forwards and around, so I follow her. I notice I was falling behind, but I caught up. She gets on a train that is supposed to take us back upstairs, but turns into a really long and crazy rollercoaster that goes really fast and does loops and everything. After the roller coaster, I am walking around looking for my room. I don’t remember what number my room was, but I remember I wrote the number on my room card. I pull out my simcoe res card and see a 1300 number on it. I can’t find the room, but as I enter another section of rooms I see the girl again, and I ask her if she will show me where my room is. I notice Im wearing a sweater and hoodie, so I take the sweater off, but it’s still on. She is gone, and I turn around to leave. As I’m exiting the semicircular area, I see her and she says something like “come on! I’m going to show you where you live,” I was following her and all of a sudden we were outside. She goes over to a wire fence and goes in, but I don’t see where the entrance is so I try to go in, but after a minute or so of trying to figure out the fence, I realize the door was slightly to my right, and there’s a simple latch. I go inside to see a man, a pig and the girl holding a rod with some apple on the end of the rod, feeding the pig. I go over to her and she gives me the rod to feed the pig, but I drop some of the apples and the pig lays down and starts eating. The man says “hes going to really like you now. You gotta make him stand to eat” (for exercise I thought(lol)), and he uses a long, metal, two pronged fork type thing to pick up the apples and hold them higher so the pig has to stand. The man and I start talking really technically about something and I wonder if the girl is involved with him but I’m not worried. I wake up.
