Thread: Yosemine's Dream Journal 2008

I can't recall much from last night. Also, I had slept on my hand, so when I started to write it hurt and was very hard. I didn't take many notes, and the dream has faded throughout this day.

How to Fail School

I was wandering around school. It was truly a "dream" school this time, with many elements from all my previous school dreams. I walked into a room and got a memory of being here before. I remembered a segment from a previous dream from the end of last summer, but I replaced the female teacher I dreamt about with the male one I have now. I walked out and continued down to another classroom. I saw my 8th grade Language Arts teacher and spoke to him. His voice was very low, unlike him in real life. I wondered why it had changed so much. After a long time (I can't recall a single detail) I was outside on an elevated parking lot. It was pitch black, with just a small strip of light from a car headlight. A man spoke to me. I wanted to talk back, but I also wanted to know who I was dealing with. I was just about to say "Get in the light." when he said it to me. The glare made me unable to see the man I was talking to, but he was a teacher. I asked about how missing a few classes would affect me. (Earlier in the dream it seems I had skipped a couple classes). I don't remember the answer, but it wasn't good. Then I asked about citizenship affecting your report card. He said that if you get an "unsatisfactory" they will deduct 0.1 points from your GPA.

I got into the car with my dad driving. It was daytime now. We were driving on a freeway when his glasses fell off. He couldn't get them back on. We were going down the road which kept going in circles lower and lower. Eventually we went off the road and into a big pit. I took the steering wheel since everyone seemed to have gone mad and tried to drive upwards. Somehow I made it up like an 80 degree incline... in a Previa. Once I got to the top my dad, sister, and brother were outside trying to push the car. I ran out to help (didn't think about pressing the gas again). The car started to leak "fuel," or notebooks. Yes, notebooks. The same kind my dream journal is. The car was soon reduced to soggy piles of cardboard. I woke up then.

I don't remember many dreams, but the lucid dream that I did (over 10 minutes long) made up for it big time!

Killer Bees from Clairity

Hehe, how random and with a Dream Views member as a background character. I started off looking at my computer desk which was back alongside a different wall than it is now. I saw a "bowl," or more like a plastic petri dish with very high sides, which was full of bees. I "remembered" that I Clairity had sent these to me. I noticed that they seemed very aggressive, and I decided they were probably killer bees and that I'd better put on the cover before they all attacked me. I put it on and they became enraged. I took them all downstairs to show my dad so that we could figure out what to do with them. When they saw my dad they tried to get out buzzing wildly into the sides. I saw what I thought was another bee to my right. How could it have escaped? I followed it and it went into the dining area. I saw an enormous wasp nest hanging on the wall. What I thought was a bee was actually a separate colony of wasps... in my house! I told my dad and he just went over, took a look, and came back not alarmed in the slightest. I had a false awakening (I seem to be getting a lot of those lately) and go online to write about it. Whenever I try to type, something always distracts me. Finally I woke up for real and decided to attempt a WILD.

Staring at the Universe

This is the best dream I ever had, and only because of one minute of it. The rest was OK, but rather uncontrolled. It started with me running in the backyard of my best friend. I could only move my knees and I was going pretty slow as a result. The grass was wet and I slipped and then flew a good eighteen feet up into a building. Talk about a dreamsign! I saw my friend from here who seemed worried about how I felt. "Don't worry, I can't be hurt because I'm dreaming!" I yelled out. She looked a little unhappy, and I realized that this would mean she didn't exist which would obviously upset a person. I asked her how it feels to be a dream character. "Good enough for me," she replied and gave me a little hug. OK then, I thought, before I get too attached to the dream version of this girl I better leave. I found myself in my bed at night. I hopped out and tried to turn on the light. Damn! The switch clicked but nothing would turn on. I used to be able to work this, but I guess I now expected it not to after reading about it.

I walked into my bathroom randomly. "Better get over the mirror," I thought to myself. I managed to turn the light on here and looked at myself. I actually seemed very normal. The only thing off was the angle of reflection. I tried to actually turn myself into an evil looking person, but just managed to look like an idiot. I remembered reading that you can actually go through mirrors. I decided to try. I got in, but really was nowhere. It just seemed like I had my eyes closed on a sunny day. Rather than risk waking up I crawled back out. I decided to try the mirror on the right. The same thing happened, but I pulled out a piece of material with writing on it. It said "keep your textbooks in here." I thought this was hilarious and made a mental note so I'd remember it upon waking. I went downstairs and it was still dark. I walked into the living room and still couldn't get the light to work. Fine then. I clapped twice. It actually worked. Thank you Clapper! Instead of instantly turning on, it took about ten seconds. Probably so my brain could actually calculate how the light would look.

I see my mom and explain that I am dreaming. She also gives me a hug. And I was worried I'd have mean dream characters. Well, I need to try strangers to truly figure that one out. I decide I want to fly now. I walked out the door, and the first thing I saw was a spiral galaxy hovering low in the sky. No houses were on that side to block my view. I looked up. The sky was a mix of black, dark blue, and neon red, like a nebula. There were tens of galaxies up there with hundreds of huge, bright stars. I looked at the clouds. They were grayish purple and very saturated and smooth. I took the corner, and the sky was literally glowing with bright orange and white stars. A floating brown ball with brown spikes all around it also flew above. It was the most beautiful thing I have every seen. I forgot all about flying and just stared at this sight for a while. Who knew how long it would last? When I had my fill (chills still racing through my body) I continued down where I originally was going. I reached some sort of end. I didn't look down, but it seemed as though the entire Earth was simply a tiny flat area with my neighborhood on it floating through space. I wondered what would happen if I jumped.

I took a few steps back and ran to the edge and leaped. There seemed to be a slight gravitational force with pulled me down ever so slightly until I landed onto a building just floating there. Actually... I noticed I had not actually landed on the building but on a floating license plate. It was now bent and for some reason I knew I had to jump off of this area to make it back. I knew the limits of my mind, and that if I tried to jump back like this it would probably make me fall into the area below, possibly waking me up. I found a box which opened into a toy ferris wheel. I was amazed at how realistically my mind did this. If it was built in real life it might even work. After playing around with that for a few seconds I set the box down and jumped off of it back to my house. Unfortunately the brilliant display of stars and galaxies was gone. I went inside and kept trying to turn lights on with my mind, but I had no control at all. I didn't mind too much since the dream was pretty awesome as it was. I heard my dad say it was the end of the Earth. How could I resist watching this? I ran out and looked. A gigantic glaring object was shining on the world. I thought it was going to expand and engulf my little world. Instead it turned into a galaxy. The stars were back, and a lot grouped together to spell out "Mario." I turned around and saw thousands of Pikmin on the ground and lost lucidity. It was daytime now and I tried to collect them. My mom said that I should feed them so I knocked off some of those balls of spikes that grow on trees and they ate it. A cow also came and I fed it some apples. I'm not sure if cows eat apples. My sister came out and my mom told me she was now a chef. This made me regain lucidity. I noticed that the dream was starting to slip, and I was beginning to forget some of the previous events. I woke myself up on purpose.

There is something else I realized just now. I woke up at 5:50. That is when I usually have to get out of bed to get ready for school. I guess that, along with the fact that the dream was slipping, I "knew" that I usually have to get up at around this time. Maybe it was a coincidence but it is interesting nonetheless.

I've got to say I really enjoyed my first dream last night. Well, as long as the main theme lasted, the ending was really random. I woke up very suddenly though so some small details were lost, which is a shame since it was a fairly long (about 20-30 minute) dream.

Journey to the Ends of the Earth... with a Suitcase

I was walking over a swimming pool with my best friend from LA beside me. She has been showing up a lot in my dreams lately. The pool seemed to be a long, deep river that snaked around a center building. I think I pushed my friend in, which would be pretty stupid in real life considering the bridge was at least 18 feet off from the water! After crossing the bridge to the center building, I discovered it was a changing room/rest room; just what I expected. It was separated oddly, with all these intricate walls dividing the man's and woman's section. I had to pee, so I went to the nearest urinal. You know those dreams where you just stand (or sit) and take a piss that lasts forever? Yeah... I just gave up after like five minutes of this.

I walked outside and found that a group of people were holding some sort of event. Apparently you picked up a suitcase, and then followed the person in front of you over a set trail. I knew this trail would pretty much span at least a couple hundred miles. For some reason I decided to join this party and grabbed two suitcases. The one I held in my left arm was light enough, but the one I held in my right was pretty heavy. I started down a path and slid down a dirt hill. I visualized where we were all going and literally saw myself walking along a thin, black path. A line of a few dozen people was in front of me and I kept following. Soon we got to an area (which was enclosed now that I think about it) with many buildings consisting completely of staircases. You would go up turning slowly to the right, and when you completed this rotation you would go down continuing to the right before going on to the next building. I followed people up and down these structures. On one of them a group of a couple guys and a couple girls start making out in the center, and after we pass I hear them get yelled at by the rest of the people for stopping the line...

After a few of these buildings we continued on, but I noticed I wasn't holding my suitcases anymore. I tried to remember where I might of left them, but it was as if they had disappeared! They probably did actually. I needed to go and find them. When I started back this lady started looking at me in a threatening manner. She told me that I better not convert her son from Christianity to whatever religion I had. OK then. I could not find my suitcases so I grabbed some clothes instead and continued on. I don't know how, but I found myself in control of a hamster in one of those balls. Eventually, after going through a few tubes, it ended up on the street and became a normal golf ball. I knew it was supposed to bounce in a very certain way to make it to its destination. I doubted it would. So of course it did not.

An "Exact" Replica of our Old House

I was in the backyard in what I thought was an old house I lived in at ages 5-10. I looked around, but something was not right. I heard some person say that it wasn't the original, but in fact an "exact" replica of the old house. I put exact in quotations because it was not right. I counted the stepping stones. Only one was there instead of the seven or eight there were supposed to be. I went to the end where the fence should have been broken (that was our pathway into the neighbors backyard to retrieve lost balls at the time) but it was in perfect condition. I pointed this out to my dad, and he looked up at the grapefruit tree and told me that in real life the grapefruit tree had also been cut down (as far as I know it is still there), but here it was.

I can't say I really liked any dreams from last night. One was mildly disturbing...

Dream Views Chat and more Hamburgers

A short, boring dream from early in the night. I was on chat here, and somehow I had found one of my friends who didn't even know about the site. I knew it was them. We chatted. I noticed the text I wrote change, but shrugged it off. I went downstairs for dinner and we were eating hamburgers. I wanted to eat another one in a dream since the last one tasted so good, so I guess that would be why. My mom was catering to my every need, and I was actually wishing I could just go up and make my own. I took a few bites and it tasted great, though not on par with the one in the previous dream.

Chicks in a Dryer

I found myself by a dryer and two bags. I opened the bags and found that each one contained a little chick. The dryer was open (but rotating for some reason) and they both jumped in. I pulled the first one out, but I could not find the second one. I smelled something that reminded me of a barbecue. I took this as the smell of that poor chick being roasted alive... I opened the top, (don't ask me why there even would be a top) and saw a long streak of blood and a few cracked pieces of bone. There was a book in there too. It was about the same shape and color as "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" but I didn't read the title. I went to my mom to tell her since obviously I felt bad, plus the blood wouldn't be good on the clothes. She told me to go back or something. I have no idea what happened to the other chick. Instead of a dryer I find a barbecue grill. It is still on, and to add to the matter it is on the sidewalk of a city. I think this is dangerous, so I go to turn it off.

When I twist the knob steam erupts from the bottom. I was expecting a scalding burn but just got a mild warm sprinkle of water. I turned it back until it was off and not letting off steam and somehow found my way back home. I actually seem to have warped there, because I was floating under the almost closed garage wondering how I had arrived. I noticed I was levitating. I thought this was because I was holding my breath. I let my breath go and sank to the floor. When I got it I flew a little by shaking my body in the air. I was reminded of dreams I used to have when I was younger. "Don't be silly," I told myself, "everyone can do this." I see my parents and they tell me I need to drive to LA. In perhaps the only logical thing I thought during the whole dream I remembered I was too young to drive.

The Cheap Pool Set

I was in a shallow plastic inflatable swimming pool. I don't remember much but seeing a few guys. I overheard someone say that one of them was very fast and I noticed a kid with the longest legs I had ever seen. The pool was getting dirty so I dragged it away to dump out the dirty water. I poured it out and took notice of a small house with an open window which seemed to be blurred up. I realized someone was getting dressed in there. I didn't remember that the world does not just blur up when you undress... When I got back some family was there. An old man with hard eyes looked at me and started to breath hard. He was starting to creep me out so I left. I saw a big and empty concrete pit that I wanted to swim in. I wondered how I would go about turning the water on.

My Mom's Desperate Old Lover

I was on an unfamiliar street and we saw a man. He apparently had a crush on my mom all through high school and wanted to marry her. He tried to impress my mom by being "funny," or dressing up as Harry Potter and shooting little plastic things that were supposed to represent spells. I keep running away from him, and my brother tries to get him to prick his hand on a tack. My mom said not to do that. Running around made me dizzy. When I stopped the world was spinning and I felt nauseous. I lied down and closed my eyes. Then I changed scenes and I was explaining this event as a dream to my sister. I called the man who wanted to marry my mom "Supersonic." I noticed I only had one page left in my dream journal. I knew something was wrong, but woke up to my alarm.

The only reason I did not update this journal yesterday is because I quite literally had seven hours of homework. I really wanted to record them since they were so random and fun.

Completely at Random

I had this dream early on in the night, and it was very illogical and unorganized but fun to think about. I started off in a school classroom. Our teacher started to cry and walked out of the classroom. The "next" day, when she came back in everyone in class started walking around some concrete area while she read a really weird poem about death. After that I went outside. It was really hot out there, and I saw my sister (even though she is in middle school). A passing guy claims that he beat my mile time by 1 second, and I want to beat his time. I got to the track and noticed that nobody is running. We all start off in a big clump and ran around the track. Somehow I arrived into another classroom. The teacher tells us to follow the symbols she had placed on the floor. They had a pink background and every one had a picture of a boomerang with one arm exaggerated to lead the way. This part is hard to explain. I got lucid, but it was so low level I'm not sure if it can even count. I was holding my cell phone and remembered the lucid task, and I was about to go carry it out when my vision faded. Rather than try to get lucid back, I just let it go. I remained lucid staring at a pale blue image before I ended up in my bed not lucid.

I was looking out of a huge window from my bed at a store sign. It had a large display which read out random facts I assumed they got from customers. I wanted a closer look at the customers. I looked away, and when I looked back I could see the store just a street away with the people inside. I shank down under the covers since it occurred to me that I could be seen too. I noticed the store was called "TC." People in the store kept trying to steal things, but whenever they did a guard would pull out an electric coil that would send out a shower of sparks and stun them. One guy tried to steal fifty things. The "next" day I was in that store looking at the products. I noticed that half of the bags of chips were open, and the apple juice bottle had the inside replaced with gelatin. I decided that people were still stealing things from this store.

The Football Game

I was in a cold and snowy place. I saw a hill that sloped down to a large, green cactus. My mom went down the hill and slipped on the ice, nearly onto the cactus. My dad went down and slipped (barefoot) right into the cactus. He yelled "OWW!" It seemed that he forgot about the pain as soon as it came out though. My dad found that the area behind the cactus was mostly mud under a thin layer of ice. He sat down in it, and invited my mom and I to join him. Both my mom and I agreed it was way too cold (not to mention nasty). The scene changed and I got to a football game. There were not any real seats, and only bleachers on both ends parallel to the touchdown zone (I don't really know the terminology). I wondered why I would be at a football game, but decided there must be a logical reason. Not that I looked for it. I found a kid, and bet him $1 on one of the teams, and he bet me a Koosh ball. That's an odd bet for you. I chose the Koosh ball I wanted and gave him my dollar, telling him that we'd meet again and I'd either give back the Koosh or he would give back the dollar and he agreed.

I found my parents near the top. A screen dropped (don't ask from where) and a video started to play. It was some guy who was very passionate about the game, and started to cry with every word. Everyone laughed at that. An official looking man handed my mom the ball. Apparently she was supposed to throw it to the players below to start the game. She threw it badly, and it bounced off of about four people on the journey down the stands. One blond girl with lots of makeup and a $500 purse that was hit randomly stood up and said, "Oh my God! I am so spoiled!" My mom and I exchanged a glance that said, "I bet you are." Out of nowhere I got back a school assignment with the answers being about the game of football. I got 100% on the first section, but I can't figure out the second section. It kept changing from 60% to "06%" to 47%. This was driving me crazy, and I woke up.

Dream Fragment: Mission for the Lasagna

I was at school. It was night. I had gone through a really long hallway of tiles. I saw some basically worthless item in a room; I think it was lasagna. People are on a mission to acquire this. First I go along with the dream logic and begin to plan, before I realized that there was no reason to get it in the first place. I asked why we were even doing this when we could get in trouble. Some other guy said it was fun. I decided to join in and woke up.

Four Snapshots (and one video) of the World

I barely remember anything from this dream. Only four still pictures and one moving. In the first one I was running on our schools dirt field, but the straightway spanned about five times longer than normal. I was wearing shorts and the sky was dotted with fuzzy clouds. In the second one (which was the only "video" I remember) there was dense fog and I could barely see. Through a break in the fog I saw a cloud screaming across the sky and wondered why I wasn't feeling any wind. In the second still picture I was walking down a concrete staircase. In the third picture I was holding onto a chain link fence, looking at something I don't remember. In the fourth picture I was inside a building and saw the faces of a few people I know. The alarm woke me up, which probably is what messed this dream's recall up so much.

Night of Fragments II

Not another one of these nights. I remember nine different fragments. I think the first four were from one dream, the next two from another, and the last three are quick dreams I all had within 50 minutes waiting for my alarm clock to ring.

Fragment 1: I'm looking in the mirror. I turn around and notice it is very long. I go to my sister and tell her I need a haircut. She twists the hair around until it tears, and I get a large bald spot on my head. Later I was at my house talking to my dad about this, and he didn't care. I was getting really mad since he should have been at least somewhat angry with her.

Fragment 2: I see a slide show of old houses I supposedly lived in, but never did. They were also far too small to be any normal house where I live.

Fragment 3: A black man (who had been injured by my sister and was wearing a large bandage on his head) said that my sister was sick and needed to go to the hospital. I told her to try to remember the dream she might have under aesthetics. I'm then lying down on a bed and I see a machine called "Dream." You are supposed to press your eyes into two lens. I tell my sister to do a reality check since she is dreaming. I demonstrate the nose reality check and I can breath. I tell her this means she is dreaming (I'm not lucid though). I see her run off into a happy lucid dream. Later I ask her if she got my message in the dream when I visited her in it...

Fragment 4: I was at school, and I had forgotten about an assignment. I went to the teacher's website, and every other word was misspelled.

Fragment 5: My friends are acting kind of weird. My "best friend" in the dream looks like a combination of my two real life best friends. She gets mad at me.

Fragment 6: People keep running out of a room. More and more join them. I join also and run out of the door to the exit of a theater.

Fragment 7: I had a ball with a string attached. The end of the string had a pompom. I was in the school library and I was twirling it around. I threw it at the librarian and we both started to play catch. The librarian eventually became my teacher. My dream journal says this next part though I don't remember it. My brother wanted to go out of the library, and I did also.

Fragment 8: I was in the house I lived in while in Seattle but with different parents. My parents were apparently the heads of some school. I saw my real dad come in, and he had bags full of strawberry flavored cough drops. I ate one and it tasted just like a strawberry Jolly Rancher.

Fragment 9: I was near a lunch table like the ones at our school. A small ferret-like animal (it seems like I dream of ferrets often, though I don't really care for them) was under it, but it had the snout of a pig. It kept running away but coming back to me. It was really cute and I laid down beside it. It was breathing quick, and I "remembered" that this animal had once told me that it does not like when other animals breath quickly. I pointed this out, and it answered me with something I don't remember and began to breath slowly. I joined in. I "woke up" but only halfway. I knew I had to get out of bed, but I closed my eyes. Almost immediately I was about to fall asleep (I know the feeling now that I've had one true working WILD). I forced myself out of bed because I knew that even though I could have made myself have a short lucid, there was always the chance of losing lucidity and oversleeping.

The last dream (not fragment) I had was so awesome! I can't remember all of it since the scenery was so complex, but part two is pretty amazing.

Saturday 1/9/08

Failing...Again

I don't remember any details, but this dream started with everyone being given their math final exam back. I didn't remember getting it, but figured I probably did pretty well. I opened it us and only had a 43%. I go to my math teacher and check my grade. It is a B-. My math teacher says I can make it up. (I'm not counting this as a fragment because the events took place over 30 minutes and kept a constant theme).

Stuck on the Bed

I was sitting on the edge of the second story of a bunk bed we used to have. Somehow, the rest of my family was stuck there, and I noticed the ladder was gone so I couldn't go down as well. It was only a seven foot drop, but we were all too afraid to go down. I somehow fell asleep. I heard my family talking from outside the "dream." All I saw was blackness. I did the nose reality check and I wasn't surprised to find it was a dream. It was so low level, I couldn't think of anything to do but continue to breath through my nose. I "woke up" a few seconds later. I'm not counting this as a lucid dream. I didn't really dream, and truthfully though I knew it was a dream, I didn't really know it was a dream. When I wake up, a girl (who I decide is most likely a Dream Views moderator) gets a ladder and helps us down.

The Battle where Everything Goes

I'm so happy I didn't become lucid in this one. It was the best dream ever. First, lets get over the dull beginning. I was on the bunk bed we used to have again (so this may have been part of the previous "dream"). For some reason I (a guy) was having a sleepover party. In real life my sister's birthday was yesterday, so that would explain why. Only one friend is over. I realize how irresponsible her parents must be in order to let her come here without even knowing me. She doesn't really act like herself either; instead she acts pretty much exactly like my best friend does. We walk out to the living room which is from the house I lived in while in LA. Lot's of presents are on the table, and my friend says her dad is here to pick her up. Her dad came, but he was Mexican. I was wondering how the heck a girl from the Philippines would have a father from Mexico, but I didn't question it too much. After they left, my uncle told me to come over upstairs since he had something to tell me. I asked if it was good news or bad news. He told me it was bad, and that the father of the girl was probably evil or something. I didn't understand why, but believed him anyways.

Somehow I get to a freeway, and I am huge. I see the dad of my friend jump out of the car and start trying to cause crashes or something. My actual friend is helping him. I have a long stick and fling the dad away, but I don't have the heart to do it to my friend. OK, now that all that weird stuff is over with, it's time to have some fun. Everyone was having a battle now. I was now small like the rest and a full-scale fight started. But it was different. There weren't any real guns, or knives, or any other lethal objects in this battle. We were all fighting against each other, and we all had odd weapons. I had a Nerf gun. Everything imaginable is used in this fight. People are throwing ice cubes at each other. Some things I'm fighting aren't even people, but rather inflatable plastic animals! It was pure chaos. I was running around gunning down the plastic animals which my little Nerf bullets could pierce and destroy. I would shoot people in the face to distract them, and someone else would "finish" them off (though it seems nobody really died, they just "lost" and would leave the battle even though it was for something of great importance. I continue to run looking for ammunition for my Nerf gun and use the objects around me to ram it into the gun quickly. Running back, a man threw two strips of colored rubber at me. I ran and everything went in slow motion. It curved after me, but I stopped it with my hands which didn't hurt. I turned back around. The entire battlefield was now purple. Strange animal shaped clocks were hanging up there, and a there was even a spinning purple spiral. "Oh no," some guy yelled, "it's a deep freeze!" I asked what that was, somebody told me that it was when the world contracts and time freezes. All of us froze and everybody but me became hundreds of cups of water. I played out a mock battle with the cups. I saw bowls at the end, and told my brother that if we began the battle, these cups would evolve to become everything we used as weapons and fought against.

Dream Fragments: The Vacuum and Hairspray

Fragment 1: I was watching a trailer for a new Hairspray movie. A critic said it was very good, but also much more serious than the previous ones.

Fragment 2: I was using a vacuum cleaner to clean up some dirt on the counter. I sucked in about three socks by accident. My dad pulled them out but they were now gloves that kept ripping more and more.

Some weird dreams last night. I also tried a WILD and got very close, but a stupid owl outside ruined it for me...

Motorcycle Crashes, Gangs, and Riders

This was an earlier dream, so it is pretty weird. By the way, I don't have anything against motorcycles or motorcycle riders; my dad rides a motorcycle every day, but he has something against Harley riders so I guess that rubbed off of him into my mind a little bit. First I was at school, and we all had to go swimming. Our P.E. coach called everyone out of the pool and we did a "warm up walk." I got to my house, and ate some pretty nasty jelly beans. Then (finally on the topic of the main dream) I started to watch a video of motorcycle crashes. First a guy on a very small and thin motorcycle fell onto the freeway from somewhere. He tumbled over about ten times, and ended up right side up on the other side of the freeway. Surprised to be alive, he carried his now bent motorcycle over the concrete break on the freeway and rode away on the furthest right lane (so he could exit I guess). Then I saw a man on a motorized tricycle coming the opposite direction on the freeway. He kept making it jump off the ground by moving his body up and down. Then I saw a Harley rider who was driving dangerously and swaying back and forth with his hands nearly touching the ground.

A policeman (or some guy who was supposed to be a policeman) came up to him and tried to get him to stop. Next to him was a really weird looking guy with a long head and ridiculously buff shoulders. That guy then ripped off this exterior and we saw he was another Harley rider. This scared the policeman which allowed the original Harley rider to get away. The camera moved to a top-down view and I could see a whole group of them following the first one. They all went onto an odd freeway which looked like a cartoon and the supports were models of famous landmarks. The scene zoomed out, and I know this video I just saw was on YouTube.

Now I was near my dad and he was talking about the video and then about gangs at schools. He said that there weren't gangs when he grew up. While my dad starts this intelligent conversation I start talking about drugs, and how the name of one sounds like it would taste like horseradish... Then my dad started to talk about the mind and memories. He said that he thought that too many similar memories will confuse the brain into forgetting, and that this could be the cause of memory loss. He talked about a man named Henry that he knew who was deaf and had so many memories that were similar that he simply forget everything. I thought about this for a while, and in the dream it sounded really revolutionary. Even in real life now I have to hand it to my mind for making up something that actually sounds almost plausible.

Caterpillars aren't good at mountain climbing

I was climbing a sort artificial mountain for no reason. I had to go with an animal that looked a lot like a caterpillar and was green. It was very slow, and I had to wait for it to go up. I don't know why, but I just had to keep it with me. On the top I abandon the caterpillar and write my name. I hate people who write their names on things like that. To get onto the top area you had to climb a rectangular support beam. I saw that video games were at the top and I realized I forgot my glasses. My vision was actually fine. I got my glasses and put them on and then climbed to the top. I warped to a classroom and someone said "remember girls, stretching is good for you." Everyone in the class started to laugh, but I didn't get it. I end up reading about illegal immigrants learning English.

Dismembered Feet

I saw a bag on my driveway and went for a closer inspection. Inside I saw a human foot which at first was really floppy, but later became stiff and shrunken. I was worried that this was my foot, so I put my foot against it to make sure. I don't see how this check made sense... I had my foot! The toes were too small though. I don't know why, but I put my nose to the bag to smell the feet. I realized that probably was not the safest thing to do. I asked my neighbor how the feet got there (I guess there were two now) but I don't remember the answer. Regardless I went into an area behind the two houses in front of mine. There was a man with lots of oranges, and my dad was eating a circular slice with the peel still on. I should try that sometime. He gave me one too, and I ate it. I tasted both the peel and inside of the orange very realistically. He went to get me a full orange, even though I didn't want it. I asked him how the feet got there, and he told me. A girl had been running around in this area and annoying everyone. Eventually the bartender had enough and threw something at her. *I warped to the outside of my house*. The girl ran out from this area towards my house *I see her running* and made a wrong move which broke her feet clean off.

I saw the girl doing this, and realize that for one she didn't seem to care that she had lost her feet and also the prosthetic feet she got must have been made really quickly. I also realized that if I tripped while running I had a chance of dying... It applies in real life too, so that kind of sucks. Oh well. I found a penny on the ground with the heads side up. I guess I consider this good luck, so I picked it up. Then I saw a copper colored Canadian dollar on the ground and picked that up as well. I turned around and about ten quarters were rolling down the street to a drain. I asked a man there if they were his, and he said they weren't. I chased the quarters down, but they fell into the drain before I caught them. There was lots of junk in the drain. It began to rain, and the papers in the drain stated to dissolve, and I noticed there were a few photographs inside. One was supposed to be a picture of my dad, mom, and I as babies separated by a line. The pictures of my parents were in color, and the picture of my dad as a baby had him with a full beard and smoking a tiny pipe...

Contacts

For some reason I got contact lenses. I tossed them into my backpack along with a picture I colored. I somehow got into a car, and heard a buzzing sound. I heard someone say it was a cannon "charging up" and that it would soon shoot someone out of it. I looked back as we passed it and sure enough a guy was shot out. He then opened a parachute. I warped over there, and I was somehow attached to this parachute but he was steering. He was coming down rather fast, and I told him to try to slow down a little. He said he would do that nearer to the ground. We hit the ground in an instant, even though a second ago we had been fairly high up. For once I noticed that I had warped. I wondered how it would have happened. Then I saw that we were on a flat area which was elevated compared to the rest of the ground. It looked further down because it blended in with the ground below. I looked to the side and saw a steep dirt incline. The elevation didn't explain why we did not see this, but it was the only one I could see making sense. For some reason a lot of people were there. They all went down the incline and I wanted to follow them. I nearly fell off because of the weight of my backpack, so I threw my backpack down before realizing my contacts were still inside.

I went down after the rolling backpack. At the bottom I opened it, but miraculously they were fine. However, they had a lot of air bubbles stuck inside. I wanted to put them on to see if the air bubbles would mess up my vision a lot, and I took the contacts up to eye level. They seemed to be making some sort of suction effect, but I didn't let them on.

I slept like a log last night and don't remember much. I did remember one dream, but I attempted a WILD and didn't record it because that wakes me up too much. I woke myself up too late for the WILD, so it didn't work, and now I can barely remember the dream I had... Figures.

Monday 2/11/08

Even More School

Yes, another one of these. I was in a new class, and we all had to work on a project. I can't remember what it was. At any rate we colored something in, but I noticed that even in the dark some parts seemed darker than others. I wondered why, and looked at my colored pencil. It was a rainbow one. When I got out of class I saw my friend, and as usual she didn't pay attention until I wondered if she was alright. Once again, I've forgotten this part but I think I talked about how the project was really difficult. Somehow I got to i-am-bored.com. There was a link titles "Hey There Delilah" and I clicked on it. It was a few pictures. The first said "Hey There Delilah" and the second said "Take teh pill." Then I was watching a trailer for a movie. It was a lot like the trailer for Fool's Gold. Then I (or at least from wherever I saw) was over the ocean following a wave. Some guy near me had a cannon which was moving with the wave as well, and he was singing a song in which he just kept repeating the word "sailing." He shot a lady out of the cannon, and the alarm woke me up.

More bad recall. My recall really hasn't been too great lately. I remember one dream, and one fragment.

Tuesday 2/12/08

Indoor Tornado

I started this dream up by waking up in a sleeping-bag beside my best friend from L.A. and my sister. I was in the largest room of the house I lived in a year ago. I realized it was my birthday (that's really on 2/17). I went outside, and my mom told me a tornado was inside the house, and although I got two good RC planes they were destroyed. Being the emotional spoiled brat I am in dreams, I started to cry without realizing that I should be happy the house was still standing, let alone how it is impossible to have a tornado indoors... I went inside and saw I actually had a couple more presents. I wondered why my mom would get me two great RC planes in the first place, and then bother to get me more stuff. I opened the box and found a small model rocket inside. The motor wasn't really on a mount, but part of the rocket was smaller and fit snugly into the casing. I groaned. I'm really ungrateful in dreams huh? Sort of bothering me now actually.

Dream Fragment: Changing Dream Journal Pen Colors

I opened the casing of my pen I use to record my dream journal and inserted a different colored interior. I started to write, but I decided that black was sort of set as the "tradition" and I changed it back.

There we go, another night of OK recall. These dreams all seem to have taken place at school, except for one fragment. I was on the verge of lucidity in a one of them, but for some reason my mind almost didn't want me to do reality checks. More on that later...

Wednesday 2/13/08

"I'm skipping school today mom"

Early night dream. Yes, that means it is really random. I was at school, and for once it looked exactly like it does in real life. Some huge inflatable had been set up. I don't remember now, but in my notes I wrote "a huge inflatable used for..." I think I know what that was now. Ahem. My sister was beside me for some reason, and she was making "solar balloons" which were yellow. I told her this wouldn't work, and that they had to be dark. Regardless they lifted off. It had random stuff in it upon second glance, but I didn't take much notice. I guessed it was the work of the wind. We went around the curve (our school sort of has a large circle around the office) and I saw a teacher I have. Then my sister, myself, and my recently joined mom started to walk home. I got in the front and walked through a tunnel alone. I got home. I realize I should be at school, and decide to skip school for a day. Now that isn't like me at all... My mom ordered me to go back. I saw a friend of mine (past entry readers know her quite well already) at a track meeting. We were all watching a video. She stared into it without notice of anything else, just like in many other of my dreams... I'm seriously starting to wonder why.

Classic Dream Signs

Oh boy. I can't believe I didn't get lucid in this one. I was at school again. I looked down and noticed I was wearing yellow pajamas. They were the kind that babies wear that are one piece. I swear I don't have any of those. I think about how this is a classic dreamsign, but I'm convinced I'm awake. A reality check never crossed my mind. I took it off. Even better. Now I have a t-shirt and some briefs to strut around school with. Somehow I got my P.E. shorts on. I really felt the clothes this time. I went to the end of a hallway. Three girls (which I don't recall ever seeing in real life) were there. In my dream they were supposed to be people I admired or something. I told them all they were awesome, pointing at a certain one and saying "especially you!" I realized I wouldn't do something like this in real life. Well, I guess I did... I walked down to the lunch area. I saw a guy who was my "friend" which I don't know in real life. He is playing tag and I joined. One of those people who patrol the school stopped me. She asked me if the universe is flat. I said something about nobody knowing, before saying yes. Then she looks at me for a moment, and describes exactly how I feel about myself. I'll try to remember a few sentences.

"You seem very simple on the outside... but in your brain... you are very complex." I wish I could remember. I was dumbfounded. This lady had just looked straight into me. She must have been a DC... only I would be able to know so much about myself. I thought I was probably dreaming... that I should wake up to record what she told me. But...no. Hadn't I done a reality check a few minutes earlier (in fact this was a memory from a dream fragment I had previously). It was something I've been wondering about my state of mind for a while. I forgot though and walked with her telling her how amazed I was she could do this. She left, and I saw my friend again. Same blank stare. She noticed me, and said that she "compromised" with her friends by giving them "three items" since they wanted her "husband" to go away. Huh? I noticed now her "husband" (or boyfriend as it was in the dream) was the guy I played tag with. I got sort of silent. I also got pretty jealous at the guy. We went to get ice cream or something. I told her about the lady. Then I lied down on my back to think about the weird events of that day.

Dream Fragments

Fragment 1: I was playing with my brother's troll figurines outside in the front yard. My mom called me in and I left them outside. I saw a paper with the numbers from people from my school. That same girl from all the rest was at the bottom (man this is getting annoying) and below her name was a lot of random writing.

Fragment 2: I was at school. People had a lot of helium balloons with ribbons. They let them float high up with really long ribbons. I know that they will release, and they do. I realized that this was a dreamsign for me. I did the nose reality check. I couldn't breath. My nose is stuffed up right now, so maybe I was breathing through my mouth or something if that makes a difference.

very cool dreams man, a couple of really good lucids as well... i especially liked the "Staring at the Universe" dream! It must have been quite a sight seeing that array of colors in the galaxy. Also, the mini ferris wheel sounds cool. Turning on the lights by clapping is a clever way of going about that too, I want to try it next time I'm in the dark, lol. I also liked the Nintendo references in the end with the Pikmin and the spelling of Mario in the sky. Very cool, keep up the good work, eager to read more

Thanks for the comment Zimmerman! "Staring at the Universe" is my favorite dream so far as well. Last night I was too lazy to record my dreams when I woke up, and they all faded except for one. It is a rather random school based dream which I had about 3 hours after I fell asleep.

Thursday 2/14/08

Walking Candy

Just as usual, I was at school. I saw a teacher I had in 8th grade. He is my favorite person there (not as a teacher though) and he also liked me a lot as a student. It's pretty rare for me to genuinely like a teacher. He said hello to me, and then promptly left. I was a little annoyed at this since I thought he could at least say a bit more considering I hadn't seen him for nine plus months. After that I was got into science class. There is a small but definite possibility that this was a different dream. The teacher there had a box of what looked like colored rubber. He (or she, I don't remember noticing) said that eating one of these would make you move uncontrollably to a certain mark in the room. Somehow this would set a satellite dish in space, so he needed some volunteers. I laughed at this and said, "we'll I'll fight it!"I truly thought I would be able to overcome whatever this candy did to you. Someone gave me a green one, and I ate it. I don't recall it having any taste at all. My legs started to move. I couldn't control any part of my body below the waist. Just resisting a little was painful, so I went along with it. After about six steps of automatic walking I stopped at an area below two green lights and regained control most impressed.

After that I went out into the hall and started to walk out. I heard my friend call my name from behind. I turned around, but nobody was there. I continued to walk. I heard my name called again. I looked around...empty. I wondered where she was. She appeared by my side now. "Yes?" I asked. She started the usual routine of ignoring everything I said, just like every other dream. Why? "Are you OK?" I asked. What a silly question, I thought, of course she isn't alright. She then split off away from me. Now I was at track, but with my P.E. class. We were supposed to run 100 meter sprints. I saw my friend again, and she said something to me. I walked over to the other side of the track and found a computer. Somehow it became a laptop, and I was playing a game. It started off with me controlling a circular orange spaceship. I was originally in the cockpit, but soon the view switched to outside. The game filled up my whole field of view unless I looked down to the keys. After taking off the ship through a roof I was blown away by the expanse of sky I had to navigate. I was over Earth I suppose, and pretty high up. Now I was flying one of those spaceships from Super Mario Galaxy that the toads had. The "Starshroom" I think. It had lasers, and I burned away a few "civilian" ships. I found a secret star of some sort. When I got there Mario fell out of the ship down into the sky. Game Over.

My recall still isn't up to the usual. Just a random commentary about today. It felt so much like a dream I had to do multiple reality checks constantly. First one of my friends changed schools. Then I kept getting mood swings from happiness to sadness. Finally, the girl I like (that girl I always dream about) actually gave me a birthday card which said that she is "at a loss for words" because I gave her a present yesterday (her birthday was yesterday). I can't figure out if that's good or bad, I'm leaning towards bad. Lucky me. Then she was all quite just like in my dreams. At least she answered when spoken to, or I might have gotten really freaked out... At the end I had trouble running in track and nearly fainted just from a couple 200 meter sprints. Great day huh?

Friday 2/15/08

The Pool Restaurant

I was walking around a lake when I saw a path to the water. It was quite long, and at the bottom there was the person I dreamt tried to kill me back on 1/30/08. He actually is a threatening looking guy in real life, but he's pretty nice as I've learned now. I'm pretty bad at judging people, at least subconsciously... Anyways, I decided to go down there for no real reason. I felt like I could jump for miles, but I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of all these people that were appearing down there. The area we stood on was actually floating, and as more and more people got on it was sinking. Soon the entire "boat" (that's what people called it) sank and when I swam out I was in a backyard pool. A little kid was riding some sort of mechanical "kick board" which I think you pedaled to move. I got out and my brother was besides me. I discovered that this was actually a restaurant. The owner had returned from a vacation and was talking about how the food the guy he hired was bad for the kids. He said he usually just made them pizza.

I somehow changed the title of the restaurant by the means of a nearby computer. The sign above it changed as well. After that pointless action, my brother and I both got into the water. Don't ask me why, but we pretended to be Africans that were swimming to Antarctica. When we got to the end of the pool we discovered an elevated area with snow on it. It wasn't cold at all, so my brother and I played on it. Another man came there. The owner wanted him to say how the "artifact" made him feel. As an answer, the man cuts off one of his fingernails.

I went to tell my sister about the snow. She told me that it was fake. I knew it was real moments before, but I picked it up and now it was composed of beads of foam. "Thanks a lot," I told her, "you just ruined my dream." I was actually annoyed that the snow was now made of beads since it ruined the whole beauty (if you can call it that) of the dream I was having. Oddly, I didn't consciously realize that I was dreaming. It is very difficult to explain, since it seems like I really knew but... I didn't. After that I decide to cut my fingernails. I start with my left thumb. I cut off over half the nail. I was slightly alarmed and changed to the right thumb. This time somehow the entire nail got loose and was only held by a flap of skin at the end. My dad started to tear it off, ignoring my pleas to stop. It actually hurt a good deal. Eventually he tore the whole nail off, and the top layer of my skin sort of bubbled up so that I could look through my hand sideways and see the lower layers. Disturbed, I went to get a band aid. I got to a cupboard. Opening it I found hundreds of boxes of band aids, and one box of Slim Jims. My mission now forgotten, I grabbed two Slim Jims (with a healed hand I suppose) and started to open the package before the alarm rang.

Ferry to Canada

This one is almost a dream fragment, but not quite. My family was on a ferry which somehow was going to Canada. I saw an unearthly mountain in the distance. It was extremely thin, but very tall. I went to get a camera to take a picture. I found myself in a snowy area. A camera was in the snow. Somehow I knew it was my uncles. In fact, my uncle was right behind me. I picked it up, and saw that it was 11.4 megapixels. I was pretty impressed, and when I looked back it says "upscales to 100 MegaPixels!" I don't really know what that was supposed to mean. I woke up now, really annoyed because I knew this dream was at least 30 minutes long, but I only remembered 5.

Hmmm... still having trouble with my recall. I remember one dream, and a couple fragments. It's annoying because these were really long (like over 40 minutes) dreams that I just know were interesting. The one I remember is also pretty long, but sort of dull.

Saturday 2/16/08

The Carnival-Classroom

I was in a room playing a carnival game. You had to throw plastic tubes into a basket that the tube would only fit into one way, so you had to get both the spin and throw just right. I remembered winning it (in fact I do think earlier in the dream I did and that this isn't just a false memory) but this time all of them missed. For no reason I ran and slid on the tile floor. Somehow I got into a "classroom." At least, I knew it as a classroom. It looked exactly the same but my English teacher was there. I apparently had come in to get help with an assignment. I saw a Knex roller coaster and ask the teacher what the maximum Gs it experiences are. She opened a book and showed me what she considered detailed drawings of the roller coaster. They were supposed to be the top, side and front views but I only saw scribbles. She flipped through the book and showed me all these word searches and other "fun" activities. When she closed it I saw my name written on a Post-It note and guessed this was for our scheduled meeting. I started talking with her, until I realized it was a little weird that I'd be talking to my teacher just like she was my friend. She acted like one of my friends would too. I shrugged it off. I heard someone mimicking my science teacher behind me. I looked around and saw both a kid I know and the teacher. The teacher pointed to a random girl and told me "she really likes you you know." OK then.

I got a partner to work on a project. He is a person in my English class that is also doing sprints in track like me. I basically let him do all the work; something I don't do in real life. Usually it's the opposite actually... He had drawn a picture that looked like the diagrams we see in Geography which shows the parts of the city such as the urban core, urban fringe, rural fringe etc. In my dream this was a drawing of a roller coaster. I looked away, and when I looked back one of my sister's friends was doing the work instead. I told her I was going to get a snack. In my dreams I felt like I was doing a lot of work just standing around... I came out of the room and ended up in my house. It was like I was coming out of my sister's room. I went to get some yogurt. I found the drinkable kind and opened it. It was really thick, but I drank it anyways. The yogurt was disgusting so I threw it out. I went back and noticed two more large jugs of this. I "remembered" that this was a special kind of yogurt that played music when you shook it. Yes, the actual yogurt made the sound. I shook one and it started to play the music you hear when you get the hammer in Super Smash Bros. I did it a few more times since I thought it was pretty cool. Unfortunately the alarm woke me up to go to track practice...

Dream Fragments

Fragment 1: I was at some sort of mall. I went to a store. A lot of girls I don't know, and one I do filed out.

Fragment 2: I left a house that we don't really have to go on a walk. All I remember is coming back and noticing it was now on the opposite side of the street and going in. Something was flying in there (I think) and it reminds me of a dream I had a while ago. I'm not sure if the end is accurate, since I'm starting to remember many, many similar dreams I have forgotten about.

I had another "Night of Fragments" but I can't remember most of them. I was too lazy to record them also because I was waking up every 10 minutes. Guess I was just excited for my birthday today.

Sunday 2/17/08

Dream Interpretation

I was in an apartment with two other people. They told me I needed to find an interpretation for a dream that was either "red" or "worse." I went into the elevator and started down. I wanted to make sure I had the correct words, so I went back up to verify it. After that, I went back down and outside to look for a way to find out what they would mean. I found a place that seems to have been some sort of racing track for cars. It had a computer titled "LaBerge" which I took to be some sort of super-database about lucid dreaming. I figured it must have something about dream interpretation somewhere. Someone else was on though, and I didn't want to wait. Somehow I ended up looking for a visual representation of those words. I found a red plastic mat and decided it was good enough. I tore off a little bit of it, and put it in my mouth... It tasted like a fruit roll up. I went back to the apartment and saw the guy. He told me I should become lucid before an alarm woke me up. Then he went to have "lucid sex" as he told me. I was trying to understand what was happening. I wasn't lucid, but I knew I should be... which also means in the back of my mind I knew I was dreaming. The dream faded, and when I finally reached "lucidity" I was already "awake" (false awakening." I wanted to DEILD my way back into the dream. I was on my back, and so I waited and somehow I felt like I flipped over onto my stomach. I was about to get back into that dream, but then I moved in real life and the light from the sun woke me up for real.

Dream Fragments

Fragment 1: There was a fire on the ground. I knew if I stepped on it I'd fly high into the air. I needed to get a flying bicycle to go on, so I went into a bicycle shop.

Fragment 2: I was watching a movie. A sign was always in the way. Someone removed it and I was happy.

Once again, bad recall, but what I remember was pretty interesting.

Monday 2/18/08

The Google Maps Cheese Factory

I was looking on Google Maps at major cities. They were indicated on the map with a little crown. I got to a world view (which looked mostly normal) and found the city of Hong Kong (indicated by just "Kong") on the map. I zoomed in and saw a little representation of it in 3D. Hong Kong appeared to be a small city with a lot of roller coasters... I went traveled on to the outskirts, and I heard my dad say he grew up here. My dad grew up in Israel. Eventually I got to an area which was shown in computer graphics, but I seemed to be in the scene now. From the top view there were mounds of white powdery stuff. Upon closer inspection it was flour. There were hundreds of sort of cartoon-like human skulls and people were putting flour on them. I understood them to be making bread with the skull being a cast for the shape. I somehow got to a cheese factory. They talked to me about a cheese taster named Max who was traveling the world. There was a hanging block of cheese. I took a little. It was just OK, and it tasted like the cheap Gouda cheese you buy in supermarkets. My parents seemed to think it was amazing though.

Those Murderous Pigeons

What a random dream. It is kind of a fragment, but I'll let it be a dream. I started off looking out the window over my mom's computer. I saw a pigeon coming towards me at an extremely fast velocity. It seemed like it it was trying to kill me! I ducked instinctively and heard a loud splat as it hit the window. I looked up. At first only a little bit of white goo was there. I looked away. When I looked back, I saw a glob of (still living) white junk with two eyes and a beak. It was slowly moving to the left... Somehow it got into the house. There was a crater on the wall as if it had hit inside. My brother picked it up. He went to show my dad. I think they were going to cook it and eat it...

It seems like my "bad recall" is becoming "normal recall." I don't know what caused this...

2/19/08

Terrorists

This dream started off normal enough. I was in a classroom, and a lady came in and told me that my CSF application was rejected because it was written on a transparency film. They showed me the sheet, and I actually had written on it. Soon after that I was sitting near a computer and went to Dream Views. It looked exactly the same, except there was this huge religion debate going on. My friend was sitting next to me, and we talked about that for a little bit... After that I somehow got to Israel. My relatives live in Israel.Now, I'm not one of those people that thinks that Israel is a place with really extreme violence, but in my dream there was a terrorist that I saw through a store window with a large box. I knew that it was a bomb. The guy was about to blow himself up in the store. There was an explosion and the center of the store sunk down and nearly collapsed. I somehow got up to a balcony that had been on the store. A snake (it was a person in my dream) was stuck between some what seemed to be a crack in a support which had fallen down. He was asking for his father and died.

It seems like now someone came after me. My math teacher (yes, my math teacher) ran out and beat the guy up...really bad. I nearly got lucid just then, but the dream got a hold on me once more. I got captured, and I was ordered to go to a certain area they called "U-1" (don't quote me on that though) under the threat of death. I saw lots of letters and numbers on various shacks, so I guessed that "U-1" was one also. I found "U-1." A kid told me this was where he was supposed to go. I looked back up and I think it was now "A-1." I saw "U-1" to my right. It was a barrel. A woman came up and poured some apple cider for me from it, and told me this was all I was getting today. It seemed as though they were going to leave us here until we were either killed off purposefully, or just died of starvation. I was told to go into one of the shacks. Oddly enough, there was a computer there with an internet connection... I tried to find out where I was. I found a thread on a website about it; apparently they scared you for there own fun... by "haunting" you in the dark with chicken costumes. I naturally woke up now just about 30 seconds before my alarm.

I've had lots of homework lately with literally no time to write in here. I've tried to, but yesterday I didn't make it, so I'm going to record two nights worth of dreams. Last night I had two bad lucid dreams, but I recognized some simple dreamsigns so I'm good.

Wednesday 2/20/08

The Flying Hockey Stick

I have mostly forgotten this dream, so I only have a few details from the journal. I was at school, and my friend typed out some really long thing to me and searched it up on Google. After that we both went to a table full of food, and I smelled the steak. I got to track and for some reason we were playing baseball, and my position was actually behind the backstop. The ball (a tennis ball no less) flew by me and I tried to catch it but there was a big delay in the movement. I got it and threw it to someone. It was a bad throw, but the ball magically curved to the person I threw it to in flight. I thought about this for a little bit but decided I must have put a little spin onto it. Someone swung a hockey stick (being used as a bat) and it started to spin and fly in the air. I started to laugh as it cruised around the field, and I think I laughed in real life since it hurt and I woke up.

Thursday 2/21/08

False Half-Awakening

I was running in track, but I was having some trouble running. I realized I was dreaming. I had a false awakening now, and I saw a chair moving around my room. I thought I was in a stage where I was half awake and half asleep. I watched the chair slide around, and looked into the open closet. The closet was closed in real life. That's how I know this was a false awakening. I'm kind of afraid of it, so I envisioned something scary in it to show myself that it wouldn't be too bad. I saw a gaping open mouth. It scared me a little, but I was able to convince myself it wasn't real. I still thought I was half-awake (is this somewhat lucid)? I "fell asleep" and saw some anime which I don't remember. I got another false awakening but also got lucid. I was paralyzed. I kept hearing my dad trying to convince me I was awake. I somehow typed out a message into the air.

Unstable Lucidity

I started off on a roller coaster with a loop. I pretended to sleep on it for fun. After that I got onto another roller coaster called "Viper." It had five loops. I "remembered" that the first loop Viper had caused many people to pass out. The track went around it though, and we somehow skipped the loop. It went into what was described by others as a "freefall." It was quite realistic. I got to English class somehow and found that I had a yearbook. I opened it and found my picture taken on a bleacher. I had a memory of the picture being taken, which probably really happened earlier in the dream. The class was using an RC plane simulator, and we were supposed to describe the handling on the plane. I told a kid you can just look at the programming or something. Amazingly, this simple dreamsign soon got me lucid. I got into the house I lived in Seattle and went down to ask my mom if I was dreaming. She told me I was not, but I didn't believe her and was now completely sure. My vision began to fade. I concentrated on my mom's nose, but soon everything was gone.

Somehow I got to our school track and I was thinking about the dream I had "last night." I remembered how mud can pile up on your shoes. Sure enough, mud began to pile up until soon I had a foot of mud under them. I found it difficult to walk, and woke up for real.

My recall is so bad now it isn't even funny. Only two dreams last night... from a 10 hour sleep!

Canamexico

At first I was in a place that I knew as Canada. I must have been in a city because there were tall buildings all around me. I may be confusing this with a real memory actually... Anyways, somehow we got to a small area which I understood to be a "Mexican" place. In truth it was more like that one area in Knott's Berry Farm. At night, I touched a box or something like that. Somehow the night passed and it was morning. I talked to my sister about touching this "box." I forget what it was called. My mom said we were going to the airport soon. I knew we were going to Israel.

Cytokinisesy

I was at a swimming pool. There was a poem that I had to decode or something. Upon thinking of this poem I got a quick flash of a memory that I received it from a girl in a classroom, though I can't vouch for the accuracy of that. Afterwards, my mom came out of the pool, and we went into a strip that separated two different pools from each other. She saw a bag full of rubber bands and asked me if they were good for my plane, but I said they weren't. She didn't understand why. In real life I need a 3/32" rubber strip for a plane I made for Science Olympiad, but I have no idea where to get it in time for the competition... I got into a gym, and I was holding some plane which had not yet been covered. A man told me it was made very well. Later, when I looked back at it, I saw that it had some markings. I decided the reason was so that I could cook food and put it on the plane... I went outside. There was something I needed. It was a box again. I touched it, but it was wet and sticky with green paint. I decided to wait until the next day so that it could dry. I saw some pancakes and ate one. My sister said they were through "cytokinisesy." Apparently, you just eat some food and chant "cytokinisesy" and it would warp out of your stomach and come back together perfectly on the plate. This way you could just eat it as much as you want and never get full or fat. Obviously if you did it too much you'd starve to death. I kept doing this, but soon the bread I was "cytokinising" became sour and I stopped.

Ho hum. It seems my once good recall is gone. I only remember one dream from last night too.

The Most Boring Dream Ever

Just what the title implies. In the beginning it was lunchtime at school, but I couldn't find any of my friends so I just stood and waited for the bell to ring. A guy I know came up to me and told me to imagine rubbing seaweed in my butt and how painful that would be. Great. He said the same thing about a sharp metal sheet. I told him the seaweed sounded worse. After that I walked over to class. I missed it, and saw that I had gone to room 705. In my dream I needed to get to 702. No problem, I just walked back a little bit. Rooms were numbered logically, even though they weren't in the same arrangement in real life. I sat down to class, and the teacher said we'd have a sub tomorrow since she had to give a speech about a book she was reading or something. I caught a glimpse of it and saw that the font size inside was huge.

My recall still isn't too great, but I get an interesting feeling thinking about my second dream last night. I was very aware (though not lucid) so the memory seems as if I was doing everything in real life even though many parts don't make sense.

Melting Snow

This dream is a bit hazy. I started off in my kitchen and looked outside the glass door. The backyard was full of snow! I went out. It was only about 1/4 of an inch deep. I was in a t-shirt and realized it wasn't actually cold. I thought this was odd, but I saw my breath condensing and soon forgot about it. A machine was letting out warm air. No! It was going to heat the atmosphere and melt all the snow! (I seriously thought that). I wanted to turn it off, but when I got it instead I personally melted all the snow in my backyard. I wondered why I did it, but just shrugged it off again. Somehow I got into our car. My mom was driving (from the second row it seems) and telling me that all the dreams I've been having about snow mean something. I've had a few recent fragments where all I remember is snow.

Illogical Logic

Yes, the title doesn't make sense. I needed a filler. You all know I suck at titles. Anyways, I started off at what seems to have been a club of some sort. I saw some guys from my school that I wouldn't exactly consider the nicest of people... They were talking, but soon they all started swearing at each other and soon enough they were fighting. I half-ran half-walked over to my dad and walked away with him. We got to a tunnel. It was pitch black. I couldn't find my way back. My dad told me something about looking to the sides. I did, and found that a piece of paper dropped on to a drawer which automatically rolled out. By moving this paper to another drawer I could move myself (I was hanging by my pants belt. Thank God I didn't have a realistic feeling...) I wondered what would happen if the drawer failed to open... but no. That couldn't happen. Eventually the paper became a lock. The lock bounced off one of the drawers onto the ground. Now what? Only one choice: undo my pants. So I did, in front of a few people. The funny part was they didn't care in the slightest.

When I got down I felt extremely full. My stomach was popping out like 5 inches more than normal. My brother and sister came and they were like that also. I figured we must have all gone to a restaurant and well... pigged out. A lot. A ridiculous amount. Somehow I got to a track, and the school track coach was there. He told me to run two 100 meters and one 200 meter. That sounded easy enough; I wasn't full anymore. I tried to run, but it was very difficult. I was getting very annoyed when I ended up in my house the next day. It was morning but I wasn't hungry. I remembered the huge meal I must have eaten the day before. I suddenly had to take a crap... so I did. I sat for like 5 minutes of wasted dream time on a toilet dumping a load... After that I got onto my computer, but that's all I can remember.

Hmmm... I know I had an incredible dream last night. Unfortunately, when I woke up and thought about it I seem to have fallen asleep by accident. Now I only remember the boring dream...

Surgery at 3:00

I dreamt I woke up in my bed. There was a projection of a clock on the wall, and I noticed it said it was 3:00. I had just fallen asleep at about 3:00 so I accepted this quickly. My sister came in and told me I have to have surgery. I can't really remember what happened, but I just laid down in bed and enjoyed feeling comfortable. After that the "alarm" rang and I got out of bed to eat cereal. I started to eat some Crispy Rice cereal, and I realized it was as if I didn't have my braces which hurt right now. I kept eating it but I couldn't get full. I remembered the track coach telling us to eat light that day for the track meet, so I stopped and really woke up to my alarm.

OK, I seriously NEED someone to help me be able to stay in lucid dreams longer. I had one last night, but once again it disappeared in about five seconds.

Numbers in the Sky

This dream was long, but I only remember the end. I was in the house I lived in while in Seattle (this seems to be a common dreamsign) and I was thinking about flying my RC plane. For some reason I was considering launching it in the house and having it go through the roof somehow, and I would control it from my sisters bed. Logic kicked in and I realized that wasn't possible so I went outside to check the winds. As soon as I opened the door rain hit my face. Strange... the sky seemed blue through the window. I looked up but there were lots of very dark storm clouds with accented sides. It looked a lot like an illustration. I turned around and looked up again. There were hundreds of these stars arranged in perfect order. They were dime sized and looked crescent shaped. These things were obviously impossible. I looked back to where the storm clouds were. Now I saw lines of 1's and 0's across the sky. I wanted to memorize them so that I could plug them into one of those text to binary/binary to text translators upon "waking up." That thought just came to me, and I instantly became lucid. "I'm dreaming..." was my first unoriginal statement. I looked around. I made the mistake of deciding I didn't have much time. I instantly jumped to fly. I made a turn, but the dream was fading fast. I yelled "increase clarity now" as I heard someone say might stop that but it was no use, I just woke up. Or did I? It was probably a false awakening, but I didn't check.

Round Trip

This is a tough one. I remember I started off at home... then I went on a car ride that seemed to last for days... Eventually I was in the car and my best friend from LA was sitting beside me. My mom was driving carelessly and we almost hit other cars and the curb. Eventually we got to "Old Town" (in real life it is a small place that our city grew around with old late 1800 and mid 1900 shops and homes. We got out of the car. I remembered a joke which I found hilarious. I tried to tell it to my friend because I guess it was an inside joke, but I couldn't remember it. For all I know I laughed at nothing. I walked down the sidewalk; apparently I was getting something. A man stopped me guessed my age. He said it was the "guess age" game. He guessed 14 at first. I'm still adjusting to being 15 instead of 14. Then I said he made a mistake, and that he meant 15 when I realized he was wrong after a few moments. I "won." Apparently if he guessed your age correctly you got a prize. I thought this was really weird. I guess my subconscious was feeling generous. I won an "Etch a Sketch" but you couldn't draw anything. All you could do was move this scoop around inside which would move sand.

I ended up in a room. I had some candy and I ate it. It tasted "different" than what I "remembered." I don't think the candy actually exists. I looked at the package and it said "now with a strawberry center." That was it... yep it tasted just like that type of candy. I turned around and saw one of my friends eating a Clementine. Funny what enters your dreams. I didn't dream about my track meet at all, but I did dream about Clementines which was a short discussion topic at school yesterday... She was afraid it would splatter on her or something. I ended up back home. My best friend from LA was next to me, and my sister was on the left. There was a ton of popcorn on the ground. I needed to eat it or something. I started to. It tasted alright. My sister was trying to eat the popcorn with a fork which wasn't working. She wanted to be "sanitary" though all she was doing was spread her saliva all around the bowl instead...
