Journal of Elli's Wacky Dreams

so...last night i TRIED to have my first lucid dream (its not my first LD, just the first time I tried to have one). so, here's what happened:

i was in the car, with my mom and my friends. i said something about going home, and my mom said "don't you remember? we don't have a home. it burnt down yesterday.":(and i remembed that in my dream last night our house had burnt down)

and so i thought, no no no no no, my house can't be gone! no way! and then i thought, hey this is a dream! its okay!

and usually at least once a night, a have a dream where i have to wake myself up my closing my eyes tight and then opening them. i remember doing it all my life, even when i was still in my crib.

anyway, so i started to do that and then i thought WAIT! i'm lucid! i can do whatever i want!

and then everything went all shaky. really shaky, and i couldn't move. i was just shaking back and forth and sideways and everyway and it was wierd...and then i was in my bed. i figured i was still dreaming, but it was kind of like when you're having a dream and you wake up but you wish you were still in the dream and you can hear yourself, and see the dream sort of in your head, but you aren't THERE, in your dream. so i checked my watch to see if i was dreaming, and i wasn't.

so, my first attemt was kind of half and half. i guess i'll try again tonight.

This dream is from a while ago, but its funny- to me.

This was a strange dream- I wasn't in it. No one I knew was in it.

There was this girl, and she was getting highlights in her hair. So she did, and her highlights were all sparkly- it looked like someone just threw glitter onto her hair. anyway, there was a guy there and he said "Whoa! They're so POPSICLE!" and he was really happy/excited/hyper. And so the girl said, "What the heck is popsicle?"

And...that's all I remember. I know there was more before and after that part, but I don't know what.

WAIT! This was an LD! Because after I saw it I thought "Hey, I wanna see that again." And so I did! Wierd, huh. I'm just realizing that now.

I told my friend about this dream, and she was literally laughing for 20 minutes. Hysterical laughing, along with "Popsicle! Hahahahahahha...that's hilarious! Its so POPSICLE! Hahahahahah!"

So, my closest attempt to a WILD.

I don't have an alarm clock. Well, no, that's a lie. There's one just two feet away from me right now. But it has an aggrivating sound that scares me. Plus it always comes unpluggled, and I have to re-set the time. I don't feel like doing that every day, so I just don't use it.

Anyway, so since I don't have an alarm clock I can't wake myself up 5-6 hours after I go to bed. So I decided if I wake up around 3 or 4, then I'd try to WILD. But I woke up at 2, and just decided, okay, lets see if I can do this. Well, I got on the computer and and did whatever until 3. Then I layed down, and after trying to relax, fell asleep in a few minutes. But I still had a semi-lucid dream.

I was at my friend's house, on Halloween. We were making costumes, and a character from "The Clique" series, Nina, was there. She had a bellydancer costume that was really cool. I tried it on, and said, "Too bad I'm dreaming, this would be great to wear next Halloween."

And I'm not really sure what happened after that.

So, as usual, I REALIZED I was dreaming, but didn't really remember that I could do whatever I wanted.

Is that considered an LD?

Well, this is some progress!

In my dream, some people I can't identify, although in the dream we were friends, were sitting on the floor in a big room with a fireplace. There was another person sitting on a couch nearby, with a huge trash bag next to her.

I guess it was some kind of gift-giving thing...

Anyway, so she gave people stuff and I wasn't really paying attention, but then right before my turn it hit me- I was dreaming!

And this is the progress part: I not only knew I was dreaming, which I usually figure out in my dreams, but I realized that I could do whatever I wanted!

So I was hoping that the gift lady would give me the "Zoey 101- Spring Break Up DVD". And I thought, well, if she doesn't, I guess I'll just make her give it to me. I should be able to do that, its easy enough.

But then I realized it would probably just be easier to make her give it to me NOW, before I got something I didn't want. So I just thought about it, while she was looking in the bag, okay, you're going to give me the zoey 101 dvd..okay, give it to me...come on!

And she did, and I was happy :D Then I wanted to watch it so I needed a DVD player so I tried to make one appear but I didn't know how, and so I got frustrated and woke up.

Any tips on how to make things appear out of nowhere?

This is a dream I had a few years ago, and it seemed VERY funny to me at the time...not that funny now, just wierd.



Okay, well I was at this guy Chris's house and we were going to watch a movie, and the one that he put in this this really long preview that you couldn't skip or fast forward through. The preview, which wasn't really a preview, if you think about it, was how to make a computer. It was three hours long and there was no sound. It was very aggrivating. Anyway, after that I went home (I don't remember whether I watched the movie or not).

The next morning (of the dream) I was in my room. I had just sat down, and then Ron Weasley walked in. I said, "Hey, what are you doing here?" And he just goes, "SHHH!" and thens climbs into the cabinet under my TV (which wasn't in my room in real life). So I said, "Bad idea, my mom's coming up here in a few hours to clean my room (geez, I wish she'd clean my room in real life!) and she's going to look in there so you've gotta go somewhere else." Then he climbed out and we went downstairs. My mom was about to pass us in the hallway, and Ron grabbed me and pulled me into the nearest room- the bathroom. I was like, "What? Its just my mom." And he said "Yeah, but she doesn't know I'm here!" So we decided to disguise him so if my mom saw him she wouldn't know he was here (I don't really understand the logic in that, but whatever). We put purple tissue paper on his head to look like hair (which wasn't going to fool anyone, if you ask me) and we went outside.

We were going to be having a party, in my dream, and it was in my backyard. In my dream there was a huge hill in the back of my yard, and Mrs. Mooney (the mom of one of the kids in my class) was there on top, with one of those balloon blower-upers, blowing up ugly green balloons. I wanted to go up there, but my mom walked towards me and Ron and was looking at the purple tissue paper on his head. He put out his hands, like 'Don't blame me' and said with a wierd accent, "I'm an exchange student from Russia." My mom seemed to think this was a good excuse, so she walked away. Then, I don't know what happened to Ron, but he wasn't in my dream anymore. I went up the hill to Mrs. Mooney, and said "Uh...I think that's my balloon blower-uper you're using." She yelled at me, "NO! ITS MINE!!" And I said "No, it's mine, see, it has my name in the corner." She got really angry and screeched "NININININA!" and pushed me.

Then Hannah, a girl who is in my class, (everyone I talk about from now on is in my class, unless I state otherwise, okay) who was for some reason an infamous perfume stealer in my dream, showed up. I said, "Hey, its Hannah the perfume stealer!" And then I chased her around the yard for six hours until I caught her. I trapped her by putting her in a sled, and then duct-taping it to the ground. While I had been chasing her, my whole class had showed up to watch, and were so excited that I had caught her that they all got in a line, with Sarah first, and went to a spot in my yard where they all started digging until they dug up a huge can of purple paint and a huge paintbrush. Then they all took turns painting themselves purple. Then they got in a line again, and holding sticks, ran around the yard, occasionally yelling "NININININA!" and "YAAAY!".

While they were running around, Kevin, who hadn't come earlier, stuck in to save Hannah. He was wearing a ruffly pink robe, and his hair was purple and spiky. He said to Hannah, "I will save you." Then he took off his robe, and underneath he was wearing a bull-fighters outfit. He did some strange kind of dance, then a huge house appeared. He unduct-taped Hannah and then the two of them got on the horse. They started to get away when everyone noticed them, and started running after them. They chased them for a few miles, to a subway (I actually can't remember what the real word is, but its an underground train, also called the tube? I'm not sure whether it is called a subway or not) place thing, and then Hannah and Kevin got off the horse and onto a subway to Alakazam (which was a well-known planet in my dream). We all tried to follow them on another subway but we didn't all fit into one, so I was sad.

Then one of the teachers at my school, Mrs. Hurd, showed up. She was wearing a race-car driver's outfit. She took of her helmet and said "I can take you...in my RACECAR!" So we all got into her racecar and she tried to drive to Alakazam, but messed up and brought us to Alakazoo. We were sad....then I woke up.
