[Awake And Dreaming]

3-15 I haven't written about this dream yet because of lack of time, but here goes... I see a vision of a book I read recently called "Sabriel", but the book is thinner than it should have been. Then I realized that I was in a medium sized room, like a personal Library or something. There were two men in the room with me, both in red; one looked like captain hook (or a cheap knock off of him), the other was nondescript. We were standing around a planning table talking about planning something, I don't know what. Suddenly, I'm on the ground outside. It's now the middle of a scavenger hunt. There are little slips of paper everywhere that look like oversized fortune cookie fortunes. Some of them have red squares on one side of them, but most are blue. I'm going for the red ones. The papers have text on them, things like you would see on a board game card: "Go back three spaces". But some aren't paper at all, but ketchup packets that make things happen, like magic. I pick up a packet and squeeze and go to an 8-bit, topdown version of a town, like from a game. I see myself for the first time. I have long, blueish-black hair (It's really short and Brown). I also see someone who I percieve as a friend but don't recognize go into a nearby house. I can see silhoetes through the roof when the lightning strikes. It has been raining, but I just now realize it. My "friend" is throwing what looks like clothes out of a dresser and across the room. I walk across the town square to another house and enter without knocking. The woman who owns the house immediately asks me if I would walk her cat. The cat is like a skinny version of Garfield that won't stop smiling. I take the tray from the bottom of her fridge, realize I'm dreaming finally become Lucid and... My alarm clock goes off, Da**it!

3-28 I was driving down a raised highway similar to those in California. In the passenger seat next to me was a person all in black with batman's cowl, I took him as batman. We were speeding away in a little black sedan from a little orange sedan of the same make. I knew the joker was in the other one, he was throwing hooks at us, thinking it was the batmobile. I kept yelling at him that it wasn't. The Hooks and lines he was throwing were black and only had hooks on one side, like a fishing hook, but made out of a strong plastic. There are several flashbacks that are more felt than experienced, like a faded memory INSIDE the dream. The chase and half-memories continue through most of the dream uninterrupted. Then, the car is stopped is a driveway. I recognize it, its the driveway across the street from one of my old houses. And my little sister is in the backseat, batman has dissappeared. My sister is about twice her own size though and intimidates me (she's actually pretty petite). We are arguing about a wood and fabric butterfly that is hanging in the car (I hadn't noticed it before), it is green and blue. That's it.

(From now on, my dream dates will be posted as the night of/ date, just to keep it straight. Also, the dreams will be in green, LDs in blue.) I was in a dark game room/arcade. I walk around the room, and the first game to catch my eye is one of those cyclone games, the ones with the light that goes around the edges thats under a bubble. I notice that the jackpot was recently won. I look up and notice that the only games that are lit up are the older games, without screens, things like "shoot out" and "whack a mole". I'm not afraid of the dark room, which I normally would be, I just wonder why so many of the good games are off. My sister is now beside me, on my left and we walk in a straight line past a skateboard game, like tony hawk. I somehow know its a skateboard game even though its not lit up and has no board, it has a pair of guns instead. I also notice a space simulator, like one of the ones that you can find at NASA's space camp. It is basically a big backpack that is controlled with a joystick, mainly used for spacewalks. I know this isn't the first simulator I've seen here, they seem to be a regular thing. I step up into the backpack and close my eyes, they remain closed for the rest of the dream. I feel a pressure as I move the backpack in my left thigh, like something has me in a vice. I feel like I'm on a rollere coaster instead of the pack. Then I feel that it isn't a roller coaster, but a set of space rings, another space simulator. I notice somehow that I am no longer at the arcade, but in a skytram car or something (a big metal box with a sliding door moving through the air). Then I see THROUGH MY EYELIDS a medium sized raptor (dinosaur) with a dorsal ridge, it looks my way, [/color] I wake up, record it and am so exited, I don't fall asleep for at least two more hours.

Awesome, congratualations! I find it ironically funny that you became lucid and woke yourself to record the dream, as the majority of dreamers would try to elongate their lucid dream as long as possible. You sure seem like a content person-- admirable. Cheers

Thanks, Odds, I guess people really do browse these every now and then... 4-9 I walk into a small office building with two other people, one I recognize as similar (but not really) to a friend of mine. This office building is only one story tall but is mostly an open room. There are nearly fourty large oak desks arranged in the main area. I don't remember passing through the lobby, but it is behind my group. Along one wall, there are small, closed in offices with gray walls between them and the open area. The three of us walk into the middle of the area to where an old teacher of mine is sitting at a black desk (all the other ones are gray). The three of us walk up and pull up some high backed chairs. My two accomplices have chairs that look similar, but not as good as mine. I have a delux leather seat that you might see in a CEO's office. My old teacher, Mr. Gunter, begins to give us a review or a critque. I think we had all help write a news article or something. About halfway through this, one of the side office doors opens to reveal a rather large woman and four young girls (about twelve years old) all smiling and waving. I think they were wishing me luck.

4-19 This one feels like a Hardy Boys adventure. It starts with me alone, and I have some kind of special talent, but I don't remember what it is. I make my way to an old, spooky castle on the top of a mountain (with lightning and everything, cliche, right?). There I find myself chained in a hallway with a group of prisoners. One woman in particular has little else on than a small rag. A light approaches and I find out that our captor is a skinny guy with a twisty mustache and beard, an evil smile, and an overly-colorful turban. He leads us into a large room to fight with a bunch of monsters. The scantily clad woman leaves and retrieves a genie's lamp, we rub the lamp and out pops (duh) a genie, but its in the shape of a giant, smoky, blue PIG. I tell the genie three things: 1. Kill the guy who caught us 2. Kill all these monsters 3. Get us out of this friggin' castle He can't do any of them, but he does transport us to another hallway. Now we are surrounded by the rest of the prisoners, mostly wounded. The woman runs and grabs a piece of old paper and somehow combines it with the lamp. She rubs it this time and two pig-genies appear, both regular pig sized, one blue and one red. They run up onto a stage (???) and do some wierd kind of circle dance. They begin multiplying and by the time I wake up, there are eight of them, four of each color.
