non-lucid

I don't really remember anything from my dreams save for that one involved my crush and her friends and took place at school. I was frustrated that I couldn't fall asleep until 2 or 3 in the morning and my alarm still didn't wake me up (despite me making it louder).

If anyone has tips on falling asleep or just making oneself tired, let me know. I'm trying to do an FILD, but I'm never tired enough.

Not much for today. I had trouble falling asleep last night. I remember only one dream. For whatever reason, I asked the woman who lives in the apartment across from mine if I could use her shower. She said yes. Then, a girl became involved (she seemed like a tomboy). We were apparently friends. We started messing around, but the woman came home, so she had to hide. The woman found her anyway. I don't remember anything beyond that. At some point, though, I was looking at my crush's Twitter page.

I was also planning on doing a finger-induced lucid dream. I had an alarm set for 4:00 a.m., but I apparently didn't hear it, as I woke up around 8:30. I'll try again tonight.

I had three dreams for today. I don't remember much of them because I was trying to go back to sleep and have more. I know the first one took place at school (not really my school; whenever I dream about school, it usually takes place in a past school or a new school my mind creates). I saw my crush again briefly.

I'm unsure about the order of the next two or what happened in which, but I don't remember enough about them for it to really matter. One of them took place at my grandmother's house and the street it's on. It also involved a woman I don't think I've ever met in person, but she was apparently my father's sister (ie. my aunt). We were running up and down the street for some reason (we may have been chasing my sister, but I'm not sure). Some other things I remember are me being outside of a store in my dad's car (we did the one-liner things from CSI ) and me being with my grandma.

I figured I may as well start my journal now. I'll post what I've recorded in my physical journal so far:

My first dream journal entry! I hope this works...!
I finally had a dream about my love, [name withheld]. Unfortunately, nothing good happened, to say the least. If I recall correctly, she basically told me to stay away from her. I kept following her around, though, listening to her conversations. The weird part was when they [she and her friends] were talking about how women are superior to men. I don't remember whether this was the whole time. I think this was caused by two real-life experiences: I tried staring at [name withheld]'s picture so that I would dream about it [her]; that seems to have finally worked. As for their feminazi conversation, I believe that was caused by me watching that Miller 64 ad where the women beat the men at volleyball. This was my brain discussing with itself. I hope more and better dreams involving [name withheld] will come soon!

6/23/13 [This was probably actually recorded on the 24th. I have a rather piss-poor sense of time.]
Second dream! It took place at school again forgot to mention that before. I missed the bus leaving. Missing buses, now that I think about it, is a recurring theme in my dreams. [Name withheld] was there again, so I think my efforts to make this happen are working. Only time will tell! (PS - My friends and I were heroes of some sort. The Elder Scrolls was involved in some way. I think people were coming after us in the end, though.)

[same day]
Third dream. This one was horrible. It partly took place at school (I've noticed it's rarely my current school in dreams). The bad part was when my mother told me that my baby brother, [name withheld], was dead [she said he was hit by a car]. You can imagine my relief when I woke up. [As a side note, I was a bit anxious afterward. I've heard of several people who dream of their relatives dying, then awakening to find out that it was not just a dream.]
