Ben's Journal

I remember this from a while back...

I was spending the night at my friend's house and I was sleeping on the floor. So I awoke in my dream and stood up. I looked around and RC'd (Clock RC) and yup I was dreaming. So I started to focus on my friend keyboard, just to increase the realism. So I opened the door and went outside his house, and it was a bright beautiful day. I walked down the street, and I started thinking of how cool it would be if I could snap my fingers and fire would shoot out. So I thought of that, and BOOM. It was so freaking awesome. Suddenly this lady crossed the street from me and started to walk in front of me. I somehow managed to pull a lightsaber out of my pocket, and slash her in half. WTF? So I went to my house (Just down the street) and told my parents I was dreaming. "That's nice". The rest is basically a blur...but yeah.

It was pretty sweet. Gonna attempt again tonight. First time in a while :)

Tried to FILD the whole night but nothing worked. Had a couple of dreams...they seemed to have slipped my mind though...I'll probably think of them later.

I awoke last night at 4 to write down this dream I had. I just started keeping a dream journal, and decided to write it down.

Time: 4AM
April 14, 2010
Did a WBTB and failed to recognize that I was even dreaming at all. However, it was a strange dream nonetheless. We were in a neighborhood driving to a project my father was working on (we being my mother and I, and my dad is a contractor, so a project would be a remodel of a building etc.). Anyways, we drop my dad off -At this point I remembered more about the beginning of my dream and put in brackets what came before-
More of the dream just came to me. Earlier in the dream, I was sitting on the couch, watching TV with my cat Sophie to the right of me seemingly watching TV as well. I remember looking at her, and her speaking to me; not in a woman's voice but in a man's. However, the dialogue was inaudible. I even asked her to repeat it and when she did, it just sounded like mumbling.
Anyways, back to my father being dropped off. We dropped my dad off a few blocks from the project (I have no idea why), and my mom and I continue to just sit in the car and watch these kids play in the street. I asked my mom, "Can cats talk?" She merely replied with, "Well it seems like they can talk sometimes..." I clarified that I meant in the human language and she stated, "They have the capability to. Cats are very much like us." She then began to talk about a cat she had named Betsy and how it used to tell stories...
Flashing forward, we visit my dad's project which is this big warehouse. We enter and my dad is watering flowers (?). The two begin to discuss things and I leave back towards the entrance room. The lighting was extremely dark; a really musky, dirty sort of lighting. I remember shooting wadded up paper into a waste paper basket...
I wander back into the room my parents are in and we hear the door in the entrance room open and close. We all stand there, wondering who it could be, as it is now pitch black outside. All of a sudden, the lighting in the room shifts. The lights in our room shut off, and it was as though someone turned on a flood light in the entrance room. All I could see were my parent's shadows, and a figure with a bat pounding on my mom. I was hiding in the corner of the room. My parents ran back in, and a dog hopped into the room carrying a bat; I'm quite certain it was a Golden Retriever. He didn't notice me in the corner, and I attempted to catch him from behind, but he ran off behind a bookshelf in the room. My parents cut him off at the other side of the bookshelf, and pushed the bookshelf over on him. I remember grabbing him and kicking/punching him before I woke up.
