I'll preface this by saying I've been reading Fire and Blood by G.R.R. Martin.

I dreamed that I was at my old house in Cedar Creek and my brother and I were about to be forced to marry. We sat on his bed and discussed it for a long while; Whether or not we should run away or commit. We reluctantly accepted our fate.

RV Road Trip (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

* Running around on a river bank which leads to the ocean watching sea turtles hatch and find their way to the water. End up helping one who keeps going in the opposite direction of the water. But every time I place it in the water it crawls back out... In the midst of this frustration the river quickly starts to evaporate before my eyes, and I'm taken by an individual (who I think is Sonya) and we literally fly over the bottom of the river bed and watch all the different plant life as we head towards the ocean. I see anemone and interesting plants I have never seen before with dish like structures attached to their stem and a pool of bacteria cultures contained within them.

-Dream fades-

* Pulling and RV Riding in the back of a black car with the notions of going through San Antonio on a beach vacation. And trying to keep from being seen by a a guy who looks like Christopher Walken. Following another RV out of a populated gas station but only get a few feet when we realize we forgot to fill up, so we see a gas station which appears to be in the middle of nowhere and stop to fill up our RV. We get a call from the other people in the RV ahead of us saying that it's not safe and that "he" will find you. They tell us to drop everything and catch up with them but it's too late. I think the notion is crazy as is and instruct whoever is with me to keep at it.

-Dream fades- (Vague memories of flying criss-cross between the high overpasses of San Antonio but against my own will.)

* Arrive at the entrance to the beach which has high sand walls on either side for miles. The only entrance is blocked off and the guy who looks like Christopher Walken (the bad guy who allegedly abducted us) has us tunneling underneath. He ultimately gets us trapped in a big, sandy underground cave buy pulling an window unit air conditioner out of the only entrance/exit to the cave. I wake up trying to dig my way out again.

Luner Discovery (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I walk outside to see a large rust colored moon on the edge of the horizon to the north west. I look towards the south west and notice another moon on the horizon, this one is light blue and just as large.

I run inside to grab my camera and as I'm inside my mother tells me to hurry up before they vanish. When I return the moons are fading but as I look up in the sky I see several smaller moons high up in the sky forming a diamond pattern all around. It was amazing!

Running around torch lit castle at midnight.

Distressed (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I and my mother on driving down a road and see a gas station. We both agree that we need a bathroom break and pull over. As I get out of the Mazda I see another man, the poster boy for a serial killer's henchman, exiting his vehicle. I walk around to my mother's side, exchange a knowing glance with her and open the door. From the moment we walk through the front door the man is on my heels. It's a big gas station and there are several twists and turns to reach the bathroom. So I know either he is following us, or has the same goal as us. I put my hand in the right pocket of my jeans and grip the pocket knife that never leaves my side. We pass the men's bathroom on the way to the women's and he is still following us. With no way to turn back, I and mom enter the bathroom and he's still on our heels. We both play dumb and as soon as she enters one of the stalls I enter the same one and try to shut the door behind me. He starts forcing his weight against the door.

"No fair girly! Just open the door!" He's says in a Bronx, thug accent.

He starts to push in and even sees me pulling open the knife but still pushes forward and tries to reach for it. My strength was no match for his and he pried the door open. I stabbed him. I inflicted as much damage as I could, at first only superficial to try and scare him off because I didn't want to take a life. But in the end, it's what I had to do.

I and my mother exit the stall, his blood all over my clothes. She runs to get help and call the police and I run out into the parking lot stumbling from the effects of faded adrenaline and the fear from realization that I almost visited my worst nightmare.

I pull out my phone unconsciously and place a call, putting the phone to my ear just as I reach our SUV. I try to open it, but it's locked, so I just lean my head against the glass and let out a sigh. The phone rings. Once, twice, three times... I get her voice mail. At first I think about hanging up, but the scared and distressed part of me wont allow it and wins over. After a short moment of silence I begin to speak...

"...Connie, it's me, Tessa." It's all just a whisper.

"Please just call me back. ...I need you..."

I hang up and slump down to take a seat on the curb, waking up shortly after.

Distant Castle(Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm floating down a desert river in an inner-tube. The never changing sky is bronze and gold on the horizon, panning into star speckled black skies. I float through and around tall, rust colored rocky crags. I feel the light autumn wind hit my face with a slight chill that signals the first of this season's cold fronts is on it's way. I'm accompanied by an unknown person, a dream character. They float along with me down the river, fearing the possibility of waterfalls. I assure this person that we will survive regardless and suddenly begin to recall flashes of a past memory: I'm jumping off a tall cliff top and diving head first into the icy water below, I feel the water sting my face with force of impact and low temperatures. (Note: This is a memory of a past lucid dream. I was not aware of this fact until after I awoke.)

I explain the experience to the fearful person, I tell them of the pure exhilaration I felt from free-falling from such a height and they start to calm down. Just then the crags start to decline and level out and we see a waterfall ahead. We topple over the edge and though my companion lands upright with little fuss, I fall on my side and out of the inner-tube. We float on for a little while more until we float into the ocean and the waves wash us ashore. The moon shines brightly and soft wisps of clouds pierce it like ghostly spears. It hangs just over a tall castle that sits on a mushroom shaped island that is raised high above the water. I take in the sight and it send chills down the back of my spine, leaving me breathless. A crooked and skinny path of rock and dirt that is extended from the shore reaches out to the front entrance of the eerie castle. We make out way towards it and once inside we are greeted by the band, MUSE. They are holding a rehearsal concert on the main floor of the castle and allow me to stand and watch the performance from the windowed control room opposite the stage on the back wall.

The British Are Coming!(Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was a "look-out" for my grandmother's house. At first I merely stood in a look-out tower in her yard and watched for people dressed as the queens royal guard. Later in the dream I held onto a single poll which I had to balance on a square platform that was several feet above the ground. The dogs would frolic and play below me and make me nervous, so I jumped off the platform and hopped towards them on the poll, scaring them off. But I regretted it because I almost chased them into oncoming traffic. Later in the dream I'm taking a break and hanging out with my mother and brother in my grandmother's garage. I find some lined paper and pretend that they are piano keys. When I play, they make music and so I begin to play flawlessly.

I also remember a fragment of watching my 5 year old self in third-person, she was lost on an abandoned brick docking area in Italy. Right in the canals. I'm found by a young guy, most likely in his teens holding a camcorder. He takes me to a day group for children where I'm for unknown reasons unable to drink the fruit juice and so I get extra bananas even though they are under ration. Everyone is jealous of me.

Piano & Violins [Fragments] (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

* I'm in a car driving down a country road, with my brother in the seat next to me. The car stalls on a hill so I and my brother get out and push it up.

* Now it's dark out and mom is driving us to the dentist. We get there and I go into the back room. All I remember is driving home not being able to talk...

* We walk in the house in the middle of the night and mom grabs a bag and starts tossing food in it. She tells me that she loves me and that she'll miss me. Now I find my self in a random house, it's a very nice home. A little like aunt Donna's and Paw paw's put together. It was Christmas time. I walk in and mom is sitting near Tara. Mom says "say Hello to Santa" nodding towards my aunt. I say to Tara "Hello Santa." (Why??? That makes no sense.) I go into the bathroom and get changed into nicer clothes.

* I come out and go outside where my little DC sister is. She looks like Lucy from Narnia. I walk over to her, she's crying and she's upset with me. I forget what I say to make her feel better, but we hug and she goes to pick up her violin. There is this huge group of people with violins in front of me - thousands of people! My little DC sister goes over to sit in front of them.

"On Three! 1, 2, 3!" She says and then she plays one long note in sync with the others. Then they all simply leave without another word.

* Now I'm alone in a big house and I walk up to a piano and begin to play. I was very good, which is odd because I can't really play - not very well anyway. The music was very deep, very emotional. I glance at the horizontal part of the keys, in gold letters, they say "Yamaha." To the left of "Yamaha" in gold letters is "Shanice."

I wake up...

Dr who & Alice Cullen (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I walk into some nice hotel room, a lady is making my bed. I see mom watching her, thinking deeply about something. I hear that they have my iPod on and my favorite play list is playing. I get worried because all of t.A.T.u. songs I own are on that play list, so I tried to grab my iPod out from under the covers while the lady was flipping 'em around. I had a really hard time doing so, but I got it and turned it off before I accidentally came out of the closet.

Now I find my self going to the next room to take a bath. It's a nice tub compared to what I'm used to and all I can think about is the dentist that I have to see later. So I push a button and this man comes out and sits on the side of my tub... It's David Tennant! He tells me a story about Doctor. Who.. I think. *Face-palm* Okay, for some reason it wasn't incredibly awkward for DT to be in my bathroom telling my stories whilst I took a bath. I mean, WTF?!

Later I get dressed and go down to the parking lot, a car pulls up. I look in the car and see that it's Alice Cullen! She said she was there to take me to the Doctor. We've been in the car a while now, I grow more and more nervous as we get close to the Doctors office.

"Can't we just change lanes and drive off to some far away place and never come back?" I ask.

She pretends to toy with the idea in her head, only to tease me.

"Wellllll," she starts to say enthusiastically, dragging it out "...NO." She finishes bluntly.

"Damn it," I say and slump back into my seat. Eventually I wind up at the dentist.

Recall ends.

Beach House (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was driving on a road on the side of a cliff. To my left was nothing but rock and occasional patches of grass or small fields. To my right was the ocean. I was in an Aston Martin, I believe it was a V-12 Vanquish. It was an overcast, drizzly, chilly day - my favorite kind. I was at perfect peace in this dream. It was so vivid. At one point in the dream a huge tidal wave came towards me, towering high, hundreds of feet above me. Right before it hits me it stops and changes direction and goes back towards the horizon of the ocean. I don't remember really dreaming this, it's just a faint but vivid picture in my mind now, but I do remember my destination. I remember the beach house, the kitchen, it's all so vivid in my mind. I remember cooking while - someone - sat on one of the counters and let her legs dangle over the side. We were both so happy... Overwhelmingly happy. I'll never forget it...
Fragment: I remember being Spider man and I had captured some clone spider man. I had went after Darth Vader as well. I trapped him in my web and when I went back to for clone Spider man he was gone.

My poor attempt at recreating the house:

Hello Helicopter [Frags] (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Some DC friend of dad's built a little helicopter in our yard. He wanted to film important things for news programs and stuff. He jumps in the chopper and asked me if I wanted to go. Of course I said yes and hopped in and buckled up. We take off and fly to down town Austin where there's a bad car wreck. We land a little farther out then the other helicopters. He does that because He doesn't have a license and hopes the cops wont take notice. But they do and so police come after us, we jump back in quickly and fly away.

Now I remember mom, dad, dad's DC friend and I going out to dinner that night. I remember being at a table alone and a waitress comes up and starts to massage my back. I think she may have been trying to seduce me or something so I ask her to stop.

Later on I remember being in the helicopter, about to land in this very cold clearing in a forest. Dad and mom were with us. We land and get out, dad tells me that if I dig up the dirt a little I'll find a lot of diamonds. So I do and there are hundreds of diamonds everywhere! We get back into the helicopter, and I see a record player sitting in an empty seat or on the floor, I dunno. It's a record of my dead grandmother singing. I turn it on and dad gets teary eyed. He tells me a very heart-breaking story, but I can't remember it... Fail.

Lastly I remember having a house party in this mansion, and I think it was mine/my family's!

River Foam & the Cullen Car Trip (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I start out looking at a battle field from a chopper's point of view. I see one side out in an open field, and the other sort of fenced off by hedges. It was like the civil war, it looked like something from the 1920s.

I find my self with the group hidden behind the hedges. And I'm one of the men there. They tell me to go put one of the horses in the stable, so I do. Later on that day after the battle's over, I lost something or forgot something in the stable. I walk over to it with a friend who was helping me fetch the lost object. For some reason we are not aloud to be there at that time of day but we sneak over anyway.

When we got there we had to cross over on this metal grating that let the horse droppings fall through. We walked up to the stable door and I tried to open it. The vertical boards on the door held together by steel bands were loose, so I just slid them up. We walk in and get what ever it was that we needed. Bit just then a few of the horses escaped and ran out onto the grating. We drop the unknown object on the grating though the horses are too wild and mad to approach. So I have get under the grating and start pushing the grating up where the object, (some sort of canister?) and try to roll it to safety.

So there I am laying in a bunch of horse crap trying to save something that I have no clue what it even is or does. And on top of all that my fingers keep sliding through the grating almost getting stepped on by horses.

Shortly after we get found by the guard and they get me out of there and take me down to a river the next day. At the river there's a man with a broom down in the shallow parts of the river. He's sweeping up all of the green foam created by the river water and he's pushing it up to the bank. The man that took me there sends me to the bank where the man with the broom is now. I don't know where the friend/DC I was with is any more. The man hands me a broom and tells me to go get the foam from the deeper parts of the river.

He tells me to do it slowly so that I don't pop all of the bubbles in it. I walk out there and start to sweep it up, getting deeper into the water as I go. Then as I'm taking another step back the current gets me and starts to wash me away. I save my self by grabbing a tree branch in the water but my head is still under. I was about to let go because it was pulling so hard. This is the clearest part of my dream, I managed to pull my self to shore.

Though the dream shifts shortly after and now I'm walking down a dirt road (bare foot) with my DC friend. We go to this cabin-like hotel and buy a ticket to stay the night. Then my friend gets mad and tells me that he didn't know that it was "this kind of hotel" and that we just paid for a patch of dirt to sleep on. I don't care and lay down to fall asleep.

Now I fall into another dream. I'm at the Cullen's house and I'm standing out side with Jasper, who is very close to me for some reason. I only say that since he can't get close to humans very easily. We were talking, and I remember asking him how can he be so close to me, but I don't remember his answer.

He walks inside and I'm out front all alone when suddenly James is chasing me. So I run to the right side of the house, and see a little two sided ladder up against the side of the house, I crawl under it and James has me pined. Then Edward comes up behind James in a split second. (It was all going very fast, but was in slow motion for me.) Edward seemed to be waiting for James to make a move - James was still facing me. I watch and see Edward cock his head to the side with an curious look on his face, he's assessing the situation. All of a sudden he comes around and knocks James out of the way! Jasper grabs me and hands me to Esme, then Jasper runs back to help Edward.

Shifting again:

Now I remember getting in a car with Esme. Alice and Jasper get in the back seat, while Edward got in on the drivers side. So I'm sitting on Esme's lap as if I were a small child. Even though we where just in a fight with the late James, everyone was happy and joking and laughing. Soon I got tired and fell asleep in her arms.

Dream ends.

The Spore-ish World (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I start out back-to-back with some lady I know I hate, but I don't know how I exactly know her. We're in a weird forest clearing surrounded by trees in the middle of the night. There was a wooden poll with a box screwed into it placed in front of both of us. I think we where in some kind of competition, kind of like the ones in the Show "Survivor." There was a guy on a little referee booth/stand between us with a gun in his hand.

"On your marks, get set, go!" He said firing the gun.

Now my dream shifts and I'm in this rectangle hut/tent like enclosure, and there are bunk/cubbyholes on each side of the wall.
I took the right bunk and the lady (the one that I have taken a strong disliking to) took the left bunk. I recall her saying something in a mocking voice like "Too bad your mommy can't help you make your bed."

Shifting again, I vaguely remember meeting with three people in the woods by a fire. Very late at night.

Shifting to the next day: We where travailing around in this big dished out valley, with a pond in the middle. Shifting to the next day: We where travailing around in this big dished out valley with a pond in the middle. We reach the other side of the valley and stumble upon an obstacle course. It reminds me of the one outside of Lara Croft's manner. We climb all of the way up on to a platform, and the three guys with me jump on top the first obelisk-like poll.

I think I follow.
