Twisty's Gallery of Dreams

I know I took a while to record this, but it's finally here. This is actually, somehow connected to my previous dream, when my cross-country friends were transformed into animals by Jaggers, the evil rich guy.

I was back in Jagger's mansion, and found that my friends (who had become animals) had killed Jaggers. I was very worried about what would happen to them, so I searched around for a cure. I found a slip of paper in Jaggers's pocket that had a spell on it to reverse the changes. I can't remember it exactly, but the first sign of changes began, and they started to slow revert to human form. We were all so happy that they were back to normal, and left the accursed mansion.

We soon split paths, and I found myself by an apartment complex. It was different though, with a whole bunch of little houses on wooden stilts, like you see at the shore. I climbed onto the balcony of one, and looked around. There were a couple of lawn chairs and potted pants there, but no one seemed to live there.

I looked down, to suddenly realize that I was wearing no pants. I rushed back to my house, bur my mom stopped me, and said that we needed to go complain to the management. The main building was big and futuristic, with a menacing presence. As we walked in the automatic sliding doors, my dream world began to fade away...

Analysis: Since it sort of followed up from my past dream, that covers the friends-as-animals part. The rest, I'm not sure. I might have watched a TV show with those type of houses before I went to sleep, but I'm not entirely sure.

I had a pretty memorable dream for 11/11/11. I even became a smidgen lucid! It was a bit scary, but not really a nightmare, more action-y. Here it goes...

I was in some sort of fort in a forest. Some Asian people came in and said that they were moving in. This part was blurry, so I can't exactly remember everything.

Next, I had left the fort, because I had to practice for cross-country. It was at Holmdel, where I had my meet this morning (which was next morning last night). My team was running, and we came to a lake. My friend Rob explained that it was called Medusa Lake, because anyone who fell into it was turned to stone. Needless to say, we went around it.

We came across a large mansion. We could hear noises inside, and it sounded like a party. Knocking on the door, an older man appeared, dressed in a red velvet bathrobe. "Come in, come in!" He said. "There's always room for more at my parties!" He seemed nice enough, so we stepped inside. There was a huge chandelier, and the whole place was decorated lavishly. "My name is Jaggers," the man explained. "Why don't you come into the dining hall? I was just about to make a speech!" We followed him on, and found ourselves in a large room with guests dressed in suits and gowns. I felt a bit underdressed for the occasion in my running clothes.

"Attention! Attention everyone! Are you enjoying the party?" Jaguars asked. A murmur of yes's came from the crowd. "Good," he said. "Because you are never going to leave!" Suddenly, he shot out beams of magic from his hands, which hit a lady in a long blue dress. Instantly, she began to transform into a tiger. Everyone screamed, and Jaggers began to transform more people. "We need to get out of here!" I yelled. "Oh no you don't!" he cackled. Flying towards us, we made a dash for the door. When we got outside, he yelled, "Curses!" and didn't follow us.

There were only a couple of us left; everyone else had been transformed. "What will we do now?" asked Brian. "We should probably move," I suggested. "Jaggers might come back." We began to run, and suddenly I thought, Gee, this is usually the part of a dream where a bear comes out and begins to chase me! Sure enough, one was right there. Wait a sec... This is a dream! I'm dreaming! I made the bear disappear, but I lost lucidity right away.

I came up to Medusa Lake, and began to shimmy along a fence in order not to fall in. I climbed under the fence, and my dream slowly started to fade away...

Analysis: I had my cross-country meet earlier today, which was tomorrow last night, so I was really looking forward to it. Medusa Lake, I don't really know where it came from. Jaggers is the name of a character in a book I'm reading in school, Great Expectations, but he's a lawyer, not an evil wizard. The woman who transformed into a tiger might have to do with the fact that there was a tiger in one part of a movie I had watched. Some Asian guys too. But the fort, I don't have a clue about.

So last night I tried for 45 minutes straight to achieve a WILD and ended up with no luck, a sore leg, and this dream...

I was in a car with some of my old classmates being driven by my old eighth grade teacher. We were supposedly going to a baseball game, and someone was calling ahead of time to reserve a special room.

Out of the side of my window I noticed my jerky neighbor and her mentally-challenged son driving in a HUGE Hummer, and she was giving me the evil eye. *shudders* She then drove the Hummer into the side of our van, and began to chase us down the highway. They attempted to cut us off, but ended up getting into a huge car crash.

When we arrived at the stadium (can't remember if there was a specific team or not) we found that a buffet area wasn't being used, so the staff let us use there. We were overjoyed at the fact that we could put our potstickers in a tinfoil tray. Yeah... Then, some students decided to get in a cheerleading pyramid together, so that they could get discounted admission.

Analysis: Well, I had seen my neighbor recently, watched baseball on TV, eaten potstickers for dinner, and been to a pep rally. This one was pretty straightforward.
