I remember a couple dreams from last night, so I figured today would be a good day to start a journal.

I'll bite others techniques for dream journaling, and put all lucid dreams in blue text, and all dream signs in red text.

---------------------------------------------------

The dream starts with me sitting ontop of a train motoring down a track in what seems to be the middle of nowhere. it's daytime and nice weather.
I'm the only one on this train, it's even absent of a driver/conductor.
A T-rex dinosaur runs up alongside the train to eat me. I climb down a ladder on the opposite side of the train as the T-rex, and wait for him to leave. I go back to the roof and see it's gone.
Theres a huge tree up ahead and I notice another T-rex perched on a branch.
I don't think he'll be able to get me, so I stay where I am while the train approaches. When we zoom by the tree, the T-rex snaps at me but misses.
I laugh, until I see it leap out of the tree onto the train. It's now a few train cars behind me, and coming at me fast. I climb down to the side of train again, looking for somewhere to hide. It's snapping at me while I scale the side of the train. Suddenly the train bends a really tight turn, it takes all my strength to hold on against the centrifugal force. but I manage.

Next thing I know, i'm in a building that seems to be a museum dedicated to the wilderness outside. I'm being questioned by a lady with librarian glasses, and shes writing things down as I answer. I realize it's a job interview,
and the train ride i just took was a test. She asks me If I prefer the animals of the Greek Cambrian period, or the animals from the Jurrasic. I laugh and tell her I prefer the Cambrian period, because it wasn't home to huge reptiles that would eat me. My dad appears, and tells me that when he rode the train years ago, he was thrown off by a U-turn, and landed in a Lake.
The lady questioning me laughs, and sets a model train in action, that flips off the track when it comes to a U-turn. the dream ends.

Next, i'm in my dads Minivan, He's sitting shotgun with my uncle driving.
We're on the highway, and my uncle scrapes the side of the van against the concrete median. neither of them seem to notice or care. We arrive in the parking lot of a car wash. It's nightime, and snowing.
My dad is trying to tie something to roof of the car, and breaks a window in the process.
Him and my uncle decide where going to stay in this town for the next 3 weeks. I remember that we left my mom back where we came from,
and start cussing him and my uncle out, for not being upset about that fact.
They refuse to go back, and I yell "FUCK IT, I'll walk". but am hesitant to, because it's winter, and a long a walk.
I then notice a little boy trying to steal some pictures I was carrying with me.
I wrestle them from him, although he's suprisingly strong.
His mother walks up, and apologizes for the behavior of her son. she then descretly steals my pictures and gets into their car. I couldn't believe she would do that, and go after her. I climb into her car demanding the pictures.
She screams, pulls a gun, and lets off a single shot at me, missing, as I jump out of their car.

Gun fire erupts all over the parking lot. people who werent there a second ago, are now shooting at eachother. A cop car pulls up, and A police officer stands up thru the sunroof with a rifle. Before he can let a shot off, a black pickup truck zooms by, one of the passengers sticks a gun out of the window and kills the cop with an extremely loud gun, without the truck even slowing.

I'm standing in a car wash stall, and the lady who stole my pictures and shot at me walks in, still with the gun. shes screaming and pointing the gun at me.
I wrestle the gun from her, and fire a few shots into her chest and stomach.
She falls, although theres no blood, and the bullets appeared to do no damage. She screams, "help me live with the pain!", without thinking I fire off one more shot, saying "bang" as i pull the trigger. The dream ends....
