Collection of Recollection

I guess I'll try to keep a dream journal. My recall isn't that great (yet), so I'll probably skip whole weeks, and the dreams will be pretty chopped up and missing portions that I couldn't figure out how to explain, but I'll try it. Might even include pictures of them, if I draw anything. Anyone is welcome to message me and see if they could interpret them, since I'm not that good at it. I'm a sixteen year old female. My dreams are almost always about being controlled.

Let's start with some older dreams, if only bits and pieces of them...

Being an Alien
Had this one about two years ago - details are sketchy. It was a non-lucid dream.
I was out in a large, open area with hard-packed yellow dirt and small green reeds growing up every few feet. There were occasional pools of water, and lots of the reeds were clustered around the edges. I wasn't me anymore - I was a huge animal, something like a wooly mammoth. I was at least six feet tall, had big ears and six legs, and a long, thin trunk with a red tounge like a snakes that came out of the end. There were people with me in white coats that seemed like scientists, and they walked beside me slowly, talking to each other. I couldn't quite understand what they were talking about, so I just walked. Eventually we came across a small nest of dried reeds on the dirt. Inside were a few tiny furry black creature that looked like kittens. I stuck my tounge out and licked them, taking a DNA sample that the scientists wanted for later review. We continued to walk.


The Healing
I don't remember the start of this dream well enough to write anything down about it, but the middle is clear. My back had been hurting in awake time after I had injured it a few weeks prior to the dream. This was non-lucid up until the point I say I went lucid.
I was with my grandmother, who was concerned about my back hurting so much. She said she knew someone who could help, and took me to this huge rectangular house. It looked very old, and had three floors. Somehow, we suddenly were up on the third floor, which was like a sunroom. It was all old but sturdy wood, and there was a screened off area with two doors going out to it. The enclosed area was shaped like this: [ , but the ends of the bracket extened in a little ways so the porch was pretty small. There were couches off to one side near a screen door going out. We went and sat on the couches, waiting. There was a woman sitting out on the porch in very bright, golden sunlight. After a few minutes, she came inside and sat in an armchair with a footstool in front of it, motioning for me to come sit on the stool, facing to her right side. I sat, and she placed her hands around me, so one was sitting on my solar plexus and one was on the area that my back was hurting. Her hands were incredibly hot, and she had a shimmering golden light around her. I was struck by the feeling that this was more than a dream - this person was real, and was trying to help me. My body was filled with energy, trembling energy like I feel with I'm getting reiki. She took her hands away after a bit, and I felt really sleepy. I fell over on the floor, unable to move, and heard the woman telling my grandmother, "She'll be alright, she's just taking in the energy." Suddenly, I was overcome by the feeling I get when I'm about to go out of my body, and felt incredibly light and floated out of my body. That's when I went lucid, at least partially, and flew up into the sky as far as I could go without feeling like I was in too much danger before quickly doing a controlled fall back to earth, landing by a mailbox in the bright, golden sunlight of autum, looking at the street, before greying out and waking up.
My back has started to heal since having this dream. It still hurts, but it feels better.

A New School
November 24th, 2007, Non-lucid Dream
I was on the bus, going to school. Same old bus, nothing really special, except for these weird little plaques around the top that I didn't read. So everyone got off, and I stayed sitting there, thinking 'Why don't I go to a different school?' So I asked my bus driver if there were any other schools I could go to, ones that I would like more, and he nodded, then drove off, taking me on a trip to another school, telling me that this school specialized in Language Arts and Theater. I thought that sounded pretty cool, so I got off and went in. They gave me a schedule and said to just go to the classes. No one bothered me about not having been there before, and most didn't really seem to notice me. All the walls were a kind of sickly looking yellow color, and there were grey lockers lining the wall. The halls were really packed full of kids. I went to my first class, sitting down and looking at a paper on my desk, which had the title of some play written on it in really fancy looking writing. The paper was lined, and the writing was in pencil. The teacher called on me to read what the paper said, but I kept stumbling and not being able to say it correctly, but eventually got it out. The classroom had the same weird yellow glow as the rest of the school. I got out of the class and looked out a window and saw a greenhouse outside where they were teaching about medical plants and holding up cacti. I went home later and told my mom about the school, asking if I could go there. She said "Okay, fine."
Next dream: I was in a mall with my best friend. There was a pet store there that specialized in pet sitting, but somehow all the animals had gotten loose and were running around the mall. Everyone was panicking. I went into the pet shop, and it was really crowded with worried pet owners all yelling at the cashier. There were animals all over the place and no cages at all, but there were these rows of cabnets. One door was left open, and there were these tiny, intricate environments inside of them where some animals were laying. A employee came over and closed the door I was looking in without explaining anything. So I left the shop with my friend and was walking around the corner when a big sea turtle that had black spots on its skin crossed my path. A little boy and his mother also were looking at it, and the little boy was saying "Mommy mommy, isn't that ours?" I offered to carry it back to the shop for them and picked up the big, awkward thing, cradling it in my arms. We went back into the shop where I dropped it off.
Next dream: I was still in the mall, and animals were still running loose, but I wasn't as concerned about helping catch them now. I was wearing a chain ladder like a cape, and there were hundreds of parakeets all over the ladder. It looked like a rainbow cape that was constantly moving. I went back into the pet shop, and the people started to point at my cloak, especially two guys who kept following me and my friend (who wasn't wearing one) around the store, looking at it. Eventually I left the store and went to wander around the mall, looking for stuff for a party I was going to be having soon. I kept running in and out of stores randomly, looking for something, but I wasn't sure what. I ran in one store and tried to run out the other doorway, but smacked into a wall of glass. An employee rushed over and asked if I was okay, saying they should have remembered to pull up the glass wall. I shrugged it off and ran out the other way. I looked back when I was outside, and the wall of glass had turned into a wall of metal bars. The woman inside was waving to me. End dream.
Interpretation: I understand the first dream perfectly: I hate my school and have been begging to go to a different one for a long time now. I'm best at Language arts (English) and am interested in acting as well, so I would try to find a school like that anyways. I was forced out of a Horticulture class last year, one that I loved, because the kids in it were causing me to freak out and have horrible breakdowns. I really loved the cacti in that class, and for a while I had a burn and was using leaves of my aloe plant to help heal it (explains the medicinal plants). The rest of the dreams I have no idea about.
