I can't really remember much from this dream. I woke up confused and dizzy, and after trying to focus for a while I remembered that I had been trying to do something... write something, maybe? And my step-grandmother Lise was helping me. And then we were out in the garden for some reason and she was complaining about how my brothers were hindering her from doing... something. It's all very diffuse and I couldn't even remember it properly when I was taking notes this night. I do remember that Lise was really angry at my brothers, though, which should have rung a bell. Lise loves my brothers and I've never even seen her angry.

D R E A M - S I G N S
- I have no idea.

N O T E S
- Well, that was a failure. xD I really need to improve my dream recall, don't I?
- I just realized why Lise was in my dream and helping me! Yesterday, she was visiting at our house, and I taught her how to use a cell phone. In my dreams the roles were switched! Still doesn't explain why she was angry, though.

Now this dream is just weird. I actually dreamt that I had another dream, woke up, and took notes from it in my notebook. And I was fully convinced that I now had notes from two dreams. But when I woke up this morning there was only notes for one dream on the paper, so I actually dreamt of dreaming and writing the dream down. I can't remember what the dream I dreamt I had was, though.

D R E A M - S I G N S
- ?

N O T E S
- Weird. Just weird.

haha thats really funny about having a dream of a dream and then writing it down in your actual "dream" journal. emphasis on the "dream". got to keep reality checking! Ive had a dream about writing in my dream journal and when I woke up I wrote in my notebook that I wrote in my notebook. lol.

and by the way pretty format, but dont let that get in the way of recording your dreams when you feel lazy.

Yeah - it amused me too. Especially because in my dream I was thinking "yay, two dreams already!" and in the morning I was proud because I had two dreams recorded and then it was like "Wait... only one? ...D'oh!"

And actually, the format makes me more willing to update. Because then I kinda just have to... fill stuff in.

I don't quite remember everything from this dream, but here goes: I was supposed to take the bus from the terminal with a friend of mine called Victoria and some guy who I think might have been the guy from my school. We were walking down the terminal and I remember offering them some gum (because I had some). The guy asks if I have any other gum because he doesn't like that one and I say no and something else and he goes "Oh, okay then." and takes the biggest piece (because for some reason the pieces were differently sized, kind of like this Norwegian christmas chocolate). And when we came to our stop it was completely different from usual and I couldn't find the route list. But on the little sign saying which buses are coming it didn't say our bus. But I decide to wait anyway. And I remember thinking "it's Sunday, so maybe the times are weird" ._. Also, I think the guy evaporated at that point, but Victoria stayed.

So we stand there waiting for the bus for a while before we realize it's not coming, and we decide to take another bus to a place near where we're going, and walk from there. Between that and the "next dream day" I don't remember much, I think it probably jumped in time. But I do remeber standing there the "next day" and thinking "how did I get home last night? Maybe I should do an RC..." but then I think "of course, I walked home because the buses were lame" and forget about the RC. xD Well... almost!

D R E A M - S I G N S
- Maybe... the trying to do something and failing? I dunno.

N O T E S
- Uh.. there were some big scary worker guys at the bus terminal. I just remembered.

This was actually the dream I remembered first this morning, but I dreamt the bus one before it. In this dream, there was going to be a kid's party, like a birthday or something. And my dad was going to get dressed up and hand out presents, but it wasn't chrismas. So he's putting on this costume and he ends up getting dressed as Esmeralda from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. At first I accept that and go "sure, you can go dressed as Esmeralda", but then I think my mom says that no, he can't, because Esmeralda is a woman! And now I'm on her side, shaking my head in exasperation at my dad "how could he even think of dressing as Esmeralda". And we tell him he has to go dressed as Santa Claus instead. He protests and says something about how the skirt makes his legs look good, proving it by making himself suddenly become taller. And after that I think I wake up.

D R E A M - S I G N S
- Well, two dreams so far have been about family members...

So, I'm at school with some friends. I think it's the last day of school, and for some reason, we're at the elementary school I used to go to, even though the people I'm with are from my current school. We quit, and I decide to walk home instead of taking the bus because my house is so close (in the dream I'm living in my old house, not the one I live in now). So, I start walking home, but on the way I think I get lost or something because I end up at the docks where I work (PS: I don't work at a dock, I work at a beach), and I see my boss running around and stuff. Noone else is working, but I think that's because it's raining. For some reason, I think that my boss can't see that I'm there, so I hide from her. And while hiding, I run around trying to find my way back to my house, but I just get caught deeper and deeper inside the labyrinth of boats and docks. Then, my boss sees me and she comes driving past in a boat and grabs me, pulling me onto the boat. But I don't think she knows that I'm me. The boat I'm suddenly in is like a pirate boat, only with handball things all over it, and even though I don't remember what the name was it was some play on "World's End" but with handball instead. So Alin (by boss) is driving the boat around really quickly, and I have to hold on tight because I keep almost falling off. She just laughs and jumps into the water, though, but I'm scared of falling off. After this I think I wake up.

D R E A M - S I G N S
- Perhaps getting lost?
- Again I'm trying to do something (walk home, get out of the docks) and failing.

N O T E S
- That was a weird dream. I don't think Alin even plays handball.

Okay, in this dream I and some friends are going for a walk, and suddenly we find ourself stuck in World War 2! There are troops marching around everywhere and we're captured by some of them, so we have to walk alongside them. And they have an Elephant that I have to hold. And they also have a dog, but not much happens to it except that Nora almost kills it. So, we're marching with the troops, and all of a sudden we're captured by someone else! These people have green uniforms, while the people who had us before had... yellow, I think. And anyway, these green people are a lot nicer than the yellow people, and even when we suddenly lose them we run after them so we can go with them again. But then, while discussing different kinds of insect repellant, we enter this clearing that's kind of similar to the clearing where the rebels are in Pan's Labyrinth, and suddenly the green people are gone! We look around, but we can't see them, and then we see some dark figures running at the other side of the clearing into the forest. We decide to follow them, and just as we start running, I wake up.

D R E A M - S I G N S
- Getting lost again... hm...
- The darkness of everything.

N O T E S
- Throughout the entire dream, it was really dark and I could barely see anything. I was wearing these sunglasses (I HATE wearing sunglasses) and every time I tried to take them off they just went right back on my head.
- I think each of the different troops with their coloured uniforms represented a different Norwegian political party. At least I remember the green guys saying they were "Venstre", which is the party I'm a member of.
- The weird thing about this dream was that we were never scared, even though we were apparently in the middle of a war and going from one troop's custody to another's.

So, this weekend I was away at my grandparents' cabin. Friday I remembered my dream but I had to get up and catch the bus so I didn't write it down, yesterday I wrote down one of the dreams I woke up from, and today I woke up no less than 4 times, each time remembering a dream, but couldn't be bothered to write any of them down. =K I'm a lazy arse.

Yesterday's dream coming up!

I think this dream takes place inside a computer game of some sort. The first thing I remember from it is that I'm in this big mansion-y house, and I have to complete different tasks. I know I did quite a lot of them, but the only one I remember is that I was supposed to find teddy bears that this one guy could sell in his store (for some reason, the store was inside the dining room of the house). And there are a bunch of teddy bears lying on the ground. So I figure 'okay, I can use those.' and start putting them into the shelves. But then the guy says that those bears don't count, I have to go out and buy fabric to make bears with.

So I walk out of the house, and it's at the top of this big hill along with a bunch of smaller houses. There's a path leading from the house to a town at the bottom of the hill, and I start walking down towards the town. I notice that the town is sort of connecting other paths leading to other hills. One of them has a big temple on it, but I'll get back to that. Now, I'm walking down the path, and I run into a guy. He looks kind of shabby, and my first impulse is that he's a street beggar type like in Oliver Twist. We start talking, and I explain to him my quest for finding fabric to make teddy bears. He says he knows of a little fabric store in the town, and agrees to show me where it is. We run there, still talking, and I think he says his name is Per.

When we reach the store, I realize I don't have that much money. It's a tiny place, crowded and badly organized, and there's fabrics hanging on racks all over the place. I find the shop owner (I think she's an old fat lady with big glasses, but I don't quite remember. I do remember that she was really strict) and beg her to let me buy some fabric for the little money I have. After a lot of heavy persuasion, she lets me buy a roll of plain white stuff. I kind of wonder if that will make any good teddy bears, but I don't dare complain.

So I and Per decide to go back to the house. He tells me that he lives right next to the mansion, in a smaller house with laundry hanging out front. I leave him and go inside the place, into the dining room, and over to the machine next to the teddy bear store. Then, I insert the fabric into the machine and push a button. But I must have pushed the wrong button, because what comes out isn't lots of teddy bears, but one teddy bear and a load of stuffed underwear! (Like... an underwear-shaped teddy bear, pretty much) I freak out, and start trying to take apart the underwear to put it in the machine again and make new teddy bears. But I fail, and, freaking out, I run out of the mansion and over to Per's place to find him. I think I run into his mother and she calls him out of the house, and then I explain to him what happened.

I don't quite remember what happened after this, but we go back into the town and up the path to the big temple, and suddenly we're inside. There, we meet a girl. I can't remember her name, but I think it began with "Vi". Violet or Viola or Vivian or something... anyway, she joins us on our quest to... I don't know. I don't remember why we're in the temple in the first place. But anyway, I remember the temple being kind of like a big waiting hall with... two gates and a tunnel inside it. There's a sign in the middle of the room. An arrow pointing towards the tunnel says "hell" and another arrow pointing towards one of the gates says "heaven", and I don't remember what the third arrow said. We go in through the third gate, though, and it leads to a place which is very much like my father's house. Actually, I think it's pretty much identical. It gets hazy again at this point, but for some reason this green scary guy appears and attacks us. We try to fight him off, and I find this book that describes how to summon a kind of saintly protector dude. We do the ritual (I think it was just saying a few words), and another huge green guy appears from the follows. We yell "get the green guy!" to him and he obeys, and I remember thinking it was funny that we were telling a green guy to run after "the green guy." But the bad guy was a deeper green, I think. Anyway, the nice green guy runs after the bad green guy into the water, and they both disappear. We stand around anxiously for a while, and then we summon another god-like guy. This one is grey, kind of like rock. (Oh, by the way, they're all gigantic). Now, the bad green giant appears from the ocean again, and the grey giant uses some impressive magic to make him evaporate. We all cheer, and then go to talk to the grey giant. He says a lot of wise things, I think. Advice and suchlike. I can't properly remember what he said. I do remember Per and "Vi" repeating their names many times, though, both to me and to the giant, as if they're afraid I'll forget them. Then Per suddenly says "Iris, you have to get back!" and I realize that he's right! I have to get back right away! (I have no idea why it was so urgent, but it felt really important in the dream...) I hug "Vi" and Per goodbye, and the grey giant says something like "You'll never see each other again." This makes us all sad, but I accept it, and then I run off, hurrying to get back to the mansion. On the way back, the nice green giant suddenly appears from the forest again, but I run past him, not wanting to stop and be delayed by talking to him. I run as fast as I can out through the gate and the temple (feeling really uneasy as I pass the "hell" tunnel), down the path, through the town, up the other path, and I've just made it through the door to the mansion when I wake up.

D R E A M - S I G N S
- The teddy bear task is another dream where I'm failing at doing something...

N O T E S
- I remember "Vi" had black hair and a kind of triangle-shaped face.
- I'm really proud of myself for remembering so much from that dream! I hardly even looked at my notes while typing it up!

Immediately beginning to talk to a bunch of people upon waking up makes it a little hard to stop and record your dreams.

In other words, I'm a lazy arse and didn't write down any dreams the past week.

This dream takes place in this big valley-type place. I'm there with my International English class, and the teacher and everyone is present.

Anyway, I think that in this dream I'm the queen/president/something of some country, and the class is my court. And there are two smaller countries that want to unite with my country, and I'm letting them. For some reason, the entire class criticizes me for "aqcuiring" those two countries - they think my motives are less than honorable. But I explain to them that I just want the work force, and in any case it's not permanent, since the countries don't have many natural resources in any case.

So anyway, we're going to meet the leaders of those countries and they're on either side of the valley we're in, it seems. So we set up these gym benches to make "doors" for the people on each side. One set of benches we set up so the person will have to jump over them, and I'm worried about whether that's really how those people walk.

At this point, I think I wake up.

- Nothing to see here.

So, I'm walking along this hill and it's a beautiful sunny day. For some reason, I'm carrying around a pack of napkins. I meet this guy Håkon who is in my immediate circle of friends, and we start talking and somehow we end up at his place cooking food. He tells me that he is in love with me and I tell him that I'm in love with him, too, but he is really depressed about it, because he has a girlfriend. I think we kind of teleport back and forth from the hill to the kitchen a couple of times, and some of our other friends are there, including Mari (his girlfriend). So anyway I end up kissing him and he tells me not to make it more difficult than it really is, I can't understand why he can't just dump Mari (he dumped another girl in our circle to be with her, after all), and then I wake up.

D R E A M - S I G N S
- The teleporting back and forth.

N O T E S
- I'm not, in fact, in love with Håkon. xD Therefore, this is a strange dream.

This dream came right after the Håkon one, and I woke up right after it started. The only thing I remember is myself saying "It's the mother of all dumbass fantasy TV!"

- N/A

N O T E S
- "dumbass fantasy" sounds interesting.

This dream I can't remember much of. I'm in a place called 'the underworld', and I think it's underwater. It's like a city, and I decide to stay there. I'm really honest about... something, and that bothers everyone, but the patrician finds me amusing so I get to stay. And there is a police inspector involved, somehow.

D R E A M - S I G N S
- ?

N O T E S
- The patrician is the leader of the city - like in Ankh-Morpork
- At the end of my notes about this dream I wrote "bestike-mean. s askesauce". xD And I cannot for the life of me remember what I was trying to write. But it was important.
- I remember thinking it was illogical for the city to be called the underworld, because underworld was supposed to be something under the GROUND, not the sea.

I dreamt I was online, buying a layout for my AR RP site, and I was going to pay the person in Neopoints. But they asked for a lot more NP than I could pay them, and when I said I didn't have enough they got really mad and made some snarky comment. I think it had something to do with my being rude. Anyway, I asked them if they played Wajas, because I could certainly pay in WC, but at that point I think I woke up.

D R E A M - S I G N S
- Trying to do something but failing, once again.

N O T E S
- I've been thinking about buying a layout lately and worrying I don't have the correct currency. So this is probably where the dream comes from.

I wasn't actually a person in this dream. I was more... watching this sort of TV interview thing with a boy talking about his dog, Zibby. He says that Zibby has the right fur for a disembodied wolf (whatever that is), but in this age of technological advancement it's plain to see that she has the wrong build and molecular composition, because she's part Schaefer. Then there are some notes in my journal that I don't understand now:
- something important happening
- Zibby inside
- says to keep outside while drinking

I don't remember any of that. Well, anyway, the boy's father comes on-screen and talks about how Zibby is a loyal dog and that she and the boy are inseperable.

D R E A M - S I G N S
- I remember the disembodied wolf remark being repeated several times. That happens a lot in my dreams - scenes or lines are "on repeat".

N O T E S
- It bugs me that I don't remember those three notes. D:
- Zibby was like an um... I don't remember the race name, but she was reddish brown in color with white flecks, and her fur was sorta... wavy and she was pretty tall and had floppy curly ears.

~ D R E A M - T I T L E ~
I put off writing this up all day, so now I can't remember much of what the dream was about. I'll just type up the notes I wrote;
- pair of ambassador/police in a country - not pair, man ambassador woman not
- boss
- going to catch criminals
- dance/game
- guys in my class
- sent away by boss guy
- because woman is (word I can't make out)
- babysitting - woman
- pregnant doesn't want

I only remember it reminding me vaguely of The Constant Gardener, what with the ambassador-guy and everything.

D R E A M - S I G N S
- The resemblance to a movie.

N O T E S
- Faiil.
- Lesson learnt: I should always type my dreams up in the morning, when they're somewhat fresh in mind.

In this dream, Rory from the gilmore girls was working at the same store I do, along with this nice old man. The store looked kind of different from how it really does, and I think it was by the sea. Anyway, Paris from the same show was jealous of Rory for some reason, and she kept trying to screw up her job. There was something with a letter and yeah. Anyway, it ended up with Paris and one of Rory's friends going somewhere. Paris was trying to make Rory's friend like her better than she liked Rory, I think. Anyway, they were at the airport and Paris had set up some sort of game there, and people were playing it sort of hesitantly. The friend asked "What do you want, Paris?" and Paris reply "I just want everyone playing [game name] to have a good time!"

The friend didn't know if she believed Paris, and everyone playing the game were still hesitating to "let loose". But then Paris asked "Are you all having a good time?" and everyone went "yeah!" and started smiling and dancing around and it turned into a party.

And then I woke up.

D R E A M - S I G N S
- Paris and Rory

N O T E S
- I've been watching Gilmore Girls all day. That probably caused this dream.

Okay, not going to write down the entire dream because it was a long one, but I went lucid tonight! 8D I had been standing at the sea shore and I had this book of spells that I was reading from, and as I read stuff appeared (a kettle, stuff inside it). I don't remember what spell I was performing, but suddenly this little girl and her mother walked by and I had to stop. I frantically tried to cover up the fact that I had been doing magic, and we talked for a bit and finally ended up in this sort of circular room in a tower. I looked out of the window and saw that the horizon (we were still by the sea) was somehow wrong. So I realized I was dreaming. At the moment I realized this I started waking up, but I managed to force myself back into the dream. I did the number one thing that I have been looking forward to doing in lucid dreams - flying. I just let myself float out of the window (it was pretty easy, I just spread my arms and away I went) and hovered outside talking to the mother and daughter. At the beginning I kept telling myself "I am lucid, I am lucid" to stop losing awareness, but then, sadly, I got distracted trying to convince them that I was in fact not doing magic at the sea shore and I lost lucidity.

The dream continued for a while, but it was all very long and complicated and I've forgotten most of the details anyway, because stupid as I am I didn't have my dream journal with me in bed. It was adventure-style like most of my best dreams, though, and involved a guy trying to have a hamster mate with the ground. xD He put it in this hole and yeah. Apparently that was his key to cloning himself (don't remember why he had to do that, though)

D R E A M - S I G N S
- The funky horizon. I was sort of looking through the wall to look at it, and that made me lucid.

N O T E S
- Strange.
- I feel silly for forgetting to have a dream journal.
