An Obsession with Ammo Boxes
Well...

I suppose nothing goes exactly as you plan. I tossed and turned all night, waking up every few hours. Well, what can you do?
All I can do is write a dream I had two nights ago.

5/31/08

This dream is based off the Turok games. With themes from other games.

It opens up and I'm in a jungle, overlooking a cliff. I peer over the edge and see a small pond with a stream flowing away. I'm vaguely aware that I'm dreaming, now. So, I leap from the cliff and do a nose dive for the pond. The "camera" pulls back, as if I fell in an old Turok game. So I assume I died. I was wrong, soon I'm shown through my eyes again, safe in sound next to the pond.

Now, I follow the stream. I stop at a spot where I see dead fish, raptor eggs, and a dead raptor embryo. I look away and downstream. I see a small, modern building. I feel a horrible feeling of "It's in the city's water supply!" "It" being whatever caused the fish to die.

I'm in a hurry, now. I reach the building, a school. I'm lead in and up a flight of stairs. Finally I end up in a conference room where I meet Danielle of Turok 3. She proceeds to scold me and degrade my skills. My weapons are laid out before me on a table. I take offense to her scolding and grab a pocketkife. I show her the petite, 2 inch blade and say ,"See this? I've killed raptors with this!" Apparantly, that to get her to shut up.

Now, I see an ammo case in the corner and open it. Immediately the room shifts and the lights dim to a dark red. The building has become a prison. I steal an assault rifle from the ammo box. Me, Danielle, and Joseph (Again, form Turok 3) are assaulted by two ghouls. They're horrible, like grimy latex stretched over a human skeleton. I focus on one, unloading ammo into his head. The shots hit him like airsoft pellets. I lead him into a prison cell where Danielle and I restrain it. I pull out a handheld double-barreled shotgun. I pull the trigger, and nothing. I forgot to pull back the hammer on the first shot. I pull it back and fire, sheering off a good chunk of its scalp. It's not enough, but its a good thing it's acting mellow. I pull back the second hammer and blast a hole in the dead center of his skull. It falls, and I head out to handle the second one. Danielle or Joshua beat me to it, the second ghoul lies on the the crimson floor.

I go back to the ammo box to scavenge more supplies. I pull out a "nano"-uzi, the tiniest uzi my mind can conjure up. I offer it to Joseph, who is cowering in a corner. That's about when I wake up.

6/1/08

Nothing, couldn't sleep

From Zombies to Hell and Back
Night of 6/2/008

I was up and down again all night, again. ot only that, I overslept when I fanally fell asleep. Luckily, I've remembered three different dreams I had last night.

I'm Alice from the Resident Evil movies (wierd as I'm a dude >.>). I'm having, of all things, a Pokemon battle with the apparent antagonist of this dream situation. Some 5v5 battle. Oh, did I mention this was under water? After trading blows I look up and there are people in bio-suits telling me to escape through this tube. The building's about to blow. So I flee heading up and out. Running like Hell, following the instructions of the "Bio-suits". I run pass pipes, up staircases, and watch the world shake around me. I get out and apparently an Umbrella laboratory was underneath my school. I walk to a parked black car. I get in and start having a conversation with a very well dressed black man. He tells me I did a good job, yadda, and yadda.
I tell him the antagonist is still be alive as ,"I didn't see him die". He tells me that if I believe that I could sift through the rubble to find him. I tell him to nevermind, and ask what's next. He tells me about this place which rings a bell.
"You mean Sheena Island?" I say.
He replies with a simple, "Yes."
That's roughly were I wake up.

I'm browsing a foreign marketplace. Sampling foods with Andrew Zimmern. I suppose that's what I get for falling asleep to the Travel Channel. We take smaples from all the stalls, We end up in front of a very lively stall where I ask, "What's the drinking age in this country?" To this I recieve a round of laughter. Here the dream changes. I'm in a tavern in Hell while the Robot Devil plays pool. I figure that I'm in Hell, now I'd better get to now my neighbors. I ask the Devil if there is anything I should avoid. He tells me ,"Don't fall into the River Styx..." and something else that I can't remember. I head out and Hell is set up kinda like Venice, Italy. The River Styx flows like a road with thin sidewalks and stone bridged as your only way around. Old European homes are cramped together and I begin exploring. I edge along the sidwalk to the end of the block and rap on the door to someone's home. A small Asian woman opens the door and I enter. We have a nice conversation where I introduce myself. On the way out I spot her daughter sweeping the floors. I want to stop and talk, but I felt I've overstayed my welcome. Outside I look at a map I had and see a name and underneath it "- the pink Power Ranger". I'm like "Sweet! I used to love Power Rangers." Her home is right next door. I ring the bell and a little old lady peers out of a window. She invites me in and she has bright green hair. She goes to set down and her hair brushes a potted plant, brushing copious amounts of green powder out of her hair. I introduce myself and tell her how much I loved the original Power Rangers. As I'm about to leave I wake up.

Me and my family are combing convienance stores for supplies. We're armed with pistols and mini-uzis. It's a post apocolyptic world where the undead rule. We're on the road and I'm having a conversation with my Papa about how I'd rather have a good shotgun than an Uzi. We stop at a convienance store that someone occupies. My father asks him some questions and he replies, "****'s not here I told you." With blank being a woman's name I can't remember. I'm thinking "she's a zombie, he's got her hidden somewhere in there." Now we're heading off into the country, now. Just me, my dad, and someone else. I tell him to slow down because I know that if he takes this corner to hard we'll fly off into a river. Then he falls out of the vehicle. I stop, and drive back to where he was. My dad has become a small plastic action figure, who isn't breathing. So, there I am, giving mouth-to-mouth to a doll in the middle of a dirt road. My dad's breathing again so we hop back in the truck and we're off. Just around the bend we reach another convienance store on the edge of a small river.
The theme switches to an anime, set in the future, I suppose. Because now I'm a little kid, with a mom, dad, little sister, and a small baby. We're still in the same place, so I suggest we head down the river to beach. We've been running low on supplies, and we get to work. We get inner tubes, baskets, baby carriages with trash bags, anything that'll float. I check the weather (somehow we get the weather channel in a post-apocolyptic world) and the weather out look is bad. The entire east coast has a red splotch on it. I warn everyone, but get an "Oh, well." response. I jump across the river, it's really a tiny stream but deep, and head to the outdoor bathrooms. I handle my business and return, but not before I watch the weather channel again. Apparantly the weather lady has gotten word of our rafting adventure and warns us of the impeding tornados. The raft is nearly complete and I walk up to my in-dream sister. She looks kinda like Rika. She as acting odd and turns to me, "You're not using it right." Immediately everything changes to a screen with a list of achievements. Dream Achievements which include "Go to 15 places you've wanted to go" and "Have a dream of 20 hours in a span of 2 seconds". Then it had meters representing the time in the dream, the time in real life, etc. The screen goes away, but her eyes are black. Then she snaps out of it when my dad call her with a surprise. Flying horses fly out of the river. My last thought before I wake up is "...and he couldn't find me a motorcycle?"

The Haunted Videogame
Night of 6/3/08

Two distinct dreams last night.

The dream is set in a Grand Theft Auto-esque world. I'm at school. On the way to class I see people giving helicopter rides in the courtyard. It lands just as the bell rings. I head to class and sit down. Then I think "Hey, why am I in school? It's summer... this must be a dream!" I then proceed to tell the class this is a dream and set off to demonstrate. I say to two students, " See I can make you taller and you shorter." I proceed to try... but nothing happens. Now I look like an ass in the middle of class. I sit back down, ashamed.

The students are talking now about Grand Theft Auto. They say some copies are haunted. I ignore this, still sure I'm dreaming, and storm out. I still the aforementioned helicopter and go for a joy ride. Shock and surprise, everything changes to Grand Theft Auto. I can see I three stars and a little radar in my peripheral vision. I fly toward the ocean when dark clouds envelope the helicopter. I'm in the cockpit, relieved that my wanted level is gone. The clouds are getting darker. Looking out of teh cockpit it's pitch black. I get the worse feeling of fear a dream has ever given me. Then the blackness starts to speak to my, text is visible out of the windshield. I'm terrified now. I don't remember what I was being told. Then I wake up

~~~~~~~

After falling back asleep, I'm playing Call of Duty 4, but I am in the game. I take aim with a sniper rifle. Missing many times, but when I do hit someone they are unaffected. As I'm sniping, the motif of the surrounding area changes to a Medieval theme. Now I'm sneaking around a small castle. I enter one room and hear someone screaming for help. I lift a grating in the floor and spy a maiden trapped in a dungeon cell. I reach for her and pull her up and out of the cell. I lead her to a large door, safety. After searching more I meet my little brother. He apparantly works in the castle and is now my enemy.

After some struggles, discovering a torture device that pinches your arse, and determining that what controls this world is chess-inspired control panel, I leave. I see other people leaving as well. I see a beautiful girl on a bike. The bicycle is set up like a pre '83 Kawasaki. It allows a passenger and even has foot pegs for comfort. She agrees, but I volunteer to pedal. She says okay, but leaves. When she comes back she's in a G-string of all things. She gets on, after many tries, and we're off. On the way we pass someone who crashed his van. I can't remember who.

When we get to the city, the theme changes again. Now I start a monologue about how the city is using a monster as promotional advertising, is corrupt, etc., etc. I get off at a familiar building. I enter and meet many of my distant relatives. I go to the kitchen, open the fridge, and take a leak in the pickle jar. I go to take a shower, but that's when I wake up.

Never Flag Down an UFO
Night of 6/4/08

The dream, I'm on the Titanic. Luckily enough, It's not sinking, It's a ghost ship. No one to be found except this brunette I suppose I was with. So, there we are adrift at sea. I go to take a leak and come back. Now the Titanic is a wooden Spanish galleon, and all the belongings on the ship have disappeared. This leaves the ship unbalanced and it capsizes.

I wake up on a deserted island with the brunette girl. I had cut myself on a seashell getting up. I put my hand down and the bloodstain left spells out, "TITANIC". I get up and start looking around. I head out and find a clearing. UFO's are having a dogfight in the air above. One looks like the dropships from Half Life 2 and the other was a generic flying saucer. Me in my infinite wisdom try to flag one down There I am flagging down spacecraft, flailing my arms in the air. They fly out of view, but then the saucer zooms back and lands behind me. A gun extends out toward me. I run to the right as a flurry of multi-colored lasers shoot out at random directions. I bounce off a chainlink fence. I strafe, avoiding another volley. I head toward the fence again. Just as I touch it the 3rd volley strikes me. I die.

I'm back when I first washed up on shore. I ask the brunette what I was supposed to do. She tells me I should ran toward it. I go to get up and my hand leaves the "TITANIC" bloodstain. I find it amusing this time and start stamping everything with the logo. Eventually I get bored and walk to a different clearing filled with giant dinosaur eggs. Then the dream goes into a video game-esque tutorial on raising dinosaurs.

Now I have a T-Rex to help me and the brunette explore the island. We head into the jungle, using my dino friend to tackle larger dinosaurs. Not long we reach a spot where power lines stretch as far as you can see in any direction. I take this as a sign of hope that there's life on this island. We head off into the jungle, not following the power lines for some reason, and reach a cliff. We have to climb up. This is accomplished by my travel companions firly quickly. I however get the T-Rex to help me up most of the way. I grab some vines and climb up.

As I'm almost up, the T-Rex slips and rips a gash in his leg. We have to go back, without the T-Rex we can't fight any large dinosaurs. We head back down and the brunette tells me to look. Our path has been repopulated by smaller dinos who have followed our "salt trail". We head back down and grab what we could find to fight. There's a selection of weapons. I get to choose from a series of whips. There are three leather whips and one metal one. The metal whip is really just a strip of sheet metal with spikes. I pick the most elegant leather one. The first dinosaur we come across is a juvenile triceratops and the dream tells me the leather will not be effective against it's tough skin. I run myself back and grab the metal one as fast as I could. I sprint back and kill the dinosaur. after a short distance we find an abandoned house. Now all the characters have changed to my family members. That's when I wake up.

4x Combo
Night of 6/5/08

My dreams were fragmented last night, I can't remember much.

I'm standing in line foer lunch. There is some ceremonial event going on. Over the intercom they would say "Honor" and a member of the JROTC would get in line. "Dignity" and another one would file in. Eventually I got fed up and step in line just as they call, "Fear". I thought this was wierd, but hey, I was hungry. In between stealing some samples, I get my tray to a lunch table where my friend Travis is. I sit down and mention them calling out as I got in line. Vaguely aware it's a dream, I say ,"I can't wait to get this in my dream journal." I expect my friends to laugh, but they all clam up. Travis pushes his tray away and lays his head down.

~~~~~~

I'm at a pet shop, getting lectured by my grandmother about how some pets are not easy to take care of. She apparantly owns this shop. My dad is with me. We stop at the scorpions, and he reaches in to grab the biggest one. It's tail starts flailing, and my dad pulls his hand out quickly. I ask him if he got stung. He says no, so I continue to browse. My grandma goes to net a fish out of a tank, all the while telling me how it should be done. In the process of the lecture, she kills the fish and it floats to the surface. I sit down to look at more pets. My grandma decides it would be funny to throw the scorpions on me. I cuss up a storm and she tells me to sit still. She starts to slowly pick the scorpions off of me.

~~~~~~

I'm at the Shop. I'm wandering about. After wandering outside a little while I head back in. There's a door that wasn't there before. I walk through and it leads to a storage area filled with scrap metal. I watch where I step because I'm barefoot and the steel could slice my foot up. I get to the end of the room to another door. I open it up and find an old office. A desk is the only thing lit up. There's a large collection of Power Rangers merchandise. I start getting a wierd feeling and decide to turn back. I use the excuse about my feet could get cut, but in the back of my mind I'm thinking about how this place was always creepy.
I get back to the workroom where' my dad is using tape and old soda cartons to make model cars. Then I wake up again.

~~~~~~

I'm back at school again. It's the last few days of school. Our class is meeting outside. The teacher is generally talking. Mentioning something about how the sex ed students' final project is to sleep with twenty other people. This peeks my interest, but I brush it off. The dream switches to the class on an airplane and im the teacher. While flying the plane I press a switch, by accident, sending all the students out of the plane. I'm thinking "uh-oh" until I hear a series of parachutes opening. I leap out of the plane with my own parachute. I jumped out at a low altitude and was scared my parachute wouldn't deploy. It does and I stand safely. I've landed in desert environment. A mini-map shows me that the students are spread out equally in a circle around me. I look around and there's a person here he tells me he will help me look, but he says I should dress appropriately for the desert. The next time I see myself I'm dressed in a blue parka, heavy pants, gloves. Not exactly desert-friendly wear >.> Then I wake up.

~~~~~~

This last fragment is short... and odd... Shinji's dad is raping Rei while Shinji and Asuka are forced to watch. Shinji is tied up and can't do anything about it. See I told you it was odd...

Chicago Handshake?
Night of 6/6/08

Yet another restless night.
i could only remember one dream

Another Grand Theft Auto inspired dream. I'm trying to hail a cab. After hailing three seperate cabs, I finally get into one. The driver is a little girl. She asks where I want to go. That's when I forget the road the shop is on. I go, "You know where Steelmaster is?"
"No." She tells me.
"What about Fat Freddie's?"
"Yeah."
"It's right next door."
With that we're off. She drives ridiculously fast. The dream changes and now we're in a helicopter. She lands in the middle of an intersection. I thought this was pretty sweet way to arrive and offer a fist bump. She grabs my fist and shakes iy like a hand. "Chicago hand shake."* she tells me. So there's me and Luigi hopping of the helicopter. But, something's wrong. Luigi has Playboy X's head. I think that someone finally got to "the Weegee". that's about when I wake up. In hindsight the girl didn't drop me of anywhere near the shop or Fat Freddie's.
.
* I doubt this is really a "Chicago handshake", but that's what the DC told me...

The Elder Scrolls
now with %100 more Tencious D!
Yeah, I'm writing this later than usual today. You see, I was up this morning tapping away on this keyboard. Typing out the dream to the last deatail. Almost done, almost done. Then just before the end, my hand bumps some magical combination of keys and it's gone. All the text is gone. I got pissed and thought about not writing today. Well, I've changed my mind.

Night of 6/7/08

I'm in a dark dungeon with my little brother. The entire place seems like something ripped from the Elder Scrolls 4. We wander around this dark room we're in. After finding the decimated remains of some lost adventurer, finding a magic wand, and a throwing axe, we ascend a flight of stairs to balcony overlooking arcane ruins. In the center of the ruins floats a mystical orb. It is accomponied by four glowing portals in the stone floor. The orb is hostile, it sends magical bolts to us. Me and my little brother begin tossing anything we had at it. I get the idea of using the wand to send firebolts at it. They move to slowly to hit the orb. From the left of the ruins run a group of goblins. the head across the ruins and up a flight of stairs toward us. we run at the, dodging bolts from the orb, to block them. We fail. We die. Mauled by goblins
.
We're back in the first room. I decide to take the path of a mage while my little brother will be a warrior. I look for the wand again. It's harder to find this time as the room is darker. I find it by feeling around the darkness. I search the room more than I did last time. I find two doorrs leading downward. I walk up to them and odd Ayleid names pop up in my vision. I decide not to risk getting deeper into the dungeon.
.
We ascend the stair and gaze across the ruins. The orb is gone, replacing it are a dozen portals and a covered alter. A goblin spawns from one of the portals. I have to close these portals by sending bolts at the portals. While my brother deals with the goblins i send fireballs at the portals. Every time I speak out, "Fireball!" By the end all portals are sealed and we move one. There are two flights of stairs leading to the ruins. One set of stairs are marked "HD mode". We descend the high definition flight of stairs and into the ruins. I save the "game", even going through a menu screen and continue. Upon entering the alter we are assaulted by a voice congratulating us on our success. I am suspicious and expect a goblin attack. It never comes.
.
After the speech we are let alone. My brother and I start talking about the game so far. We generally think it's pretty fun. I complain, however, that my only spell is a slow fireball. He suggest I try another spell. I wave the wand about and say aloud," Summon Lesser Skeleton!" A skeleton morphs out of the emptiness nearby. I say that's pretty cool and recite," Dispel on Self."
I look at the skeleton and it says to me," So, your done...?"
I tell it,"Yeah, you can go."
"Oh, okay. Bye."
"Bye."
And the skeleton dissapates to the nothingness from which it was conjured.
.
The dream changes. I'm riding in a truck with the source of the voice, a mystical woman. We stop at someone else's home where I meet Kyle Gass and Jack Black. I ask them what their class is and joke about them being bards. They apparantly don't have a class so the mystic takes them to a nearby fortune-teller's tent. I explore the area and discover an old motorcycle. I check it out and it seems to be in good condition. I ask Kyle to go see if the owners want to sell it. He goes to an old lady sitting at a table and returns. Tells me she's willing to talk. I walk up to her and ask what she would like for it. She tells me," Oh, about ten."
"Ten thousand!?"
"No, dear, just ten dollars."
I immediately whip out my wallet and pull out a ten dollar bill. I put it on the table and turn to her husband. "It doesn't matter if it runs or not," I say,"the parts alone would be worth more than ten." He grimaces to this and who mentions something about her son and tells me she'll actually need "two". "Two hundred!?" She corrects me by saying she only meant two tens. I ask for the ten back and give her a twenty. Remembering, now, that the money was not traditional American bills, but some odd imagined money.
.
I rush back to the bike and start her up. I ask Jack to check the tail lights, turn signals, etc. as I turn them on. The bike is odd in that it has two switches for the turn signal. One for the front signal and another for the back. I can see, now, that the front tire is a little flat. I decide to test drive it a bit. It's slow, but then again I've never rode a motorcycle before and couldn't master changing the gears. Basically I was going up and down the road in first gear with a flat tire. I also notice the brakes are iffy. The mystic loads it into the back of the truck for me and I wake up.

Special Notes:
My mind could not fathom how truly amazing a co-op Elder Scrolls game would be. Oh well, I guess they call it a dream for a reason...

Operation Lioncash
Night of 6/8/08

A fragment last night. It was a restless night and I had to wake early. The fragment I remember being upset that I couldn't get a chance to write a lion face >:3 on the faces of my money as a joke. Operation Lioncash...

Night of 6/9/08
Nothing I can remember.

Night of 6/10/08
I think I just might keep this one personal.
Sorry, but I don't think anyone will be hearing this one. Maybe in time I'll come back and
write. That's not happening right now, though. Good night, everyone.

Lucid Dreams and False Awakenings
Night of 6/11/08
This will be a long one...
.
We stop at a strip mall. I look around and spy a Subway and a games store. I almost walk into the subway, but catch myself and move on to the game store. There's not a Gamestop or EB Games logo above the door, but I know it's a gamestore. Jeremy's working there. I look around, and he is telling everyone that they are closing in fifteen minutes. I leave after just a little more browsing.
.
The dream changes. We are at this summer time attraction. We are at this pool. This childish looking pirate tells us the rules of this game we are playing. We are to swim around and look for a specific item and return. I forgot what the item was. We dive in. I swim left. This seems to be a horror-based game. Iconic movie monsters are to be targets that we have to search. I swim around and can't find it. I swim into this hallway. I try to go up for air, but there is no surface. I keep swimming and burst through the surface of the water and catch a breath. I submerge and this whole area turns out to be based on the Alien movies. A large alien queen lays in the water. I find the item nearby, I return to the start with the item.
.
I'm waiting at start as a timer counts down. Someone else swims up with the item but the pirate pushes her back. This pisses me off and shake the dock we are on. Text pops up in my view "No one attacks Jack". The dream changes again.
.
I'm back at the strip mall browsing a different game store. Jeremy is not here. I'm browsing, thinking of something to buy when Travis pops up and suggests World of Warcraft... again. I tell him I still don't have a... a... I can't remember what I don't have to play it. Eventually I say DVD-ROM drive. Then his friends pop up and tell me how good it is. I'm thinking where they came from. Then I wake up.
.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.
When I fall back asleep, I'm at my old Jr. Highschool. I'm trying to sneak in. I turn into a group of flies and zoom into the gym before morphing back to myself. The whole gym class moves outside. I'm aware that I am dreaming, now. This I reveal to the whole class and they all clam up. Now I try to fly. After a couple hops I lift up into the air. I get too much altitude and lower myself into view of the class and finally land. I tell them to check this out as try to bend a football post. I fail. I quickly make up an excuse and tell a friend of mine to try and fly. He lifts off the ground and zooms around for a couple seconds. This pisses me off to no extent.
.
I have a false awakening. I "wake up" in the first house I've ever lived in. I get out of my parent's bed, apparantly they crashed in the living room. The TV's on and on X-Play. They are reviewing some games I've already bought and a new one with an odd name. Ogemai or something odd like that. The screenshot they chose for the preview was just a trippy multi-colored design. I go to walk into to the kitchen but begin to think I'm dreaming. I remember reading on Dream Views that light switches tend not to work in dreams. I flip a nearby switch and the light comes on. I turn it off and walk to the switch near the door that leads to the living room. I flip that switch and get the same result. I conclude that I'm not dreaming. Just to be safe I decide to look down at my hand. I count six or seven fingers. "I'm dreaming!" I think. Excited because this was the first time I've become aware that I'm dreaming in a long time. I remember the task of of the month I had read about. I thinking about my luck to become lucid and have a television nearby. I flip through the channels, but nothing but blackness or static.
.
I'd figure I'd try to do the advanced task. I run out the front door and into the neighbor's yard. The groudn here is flooded. I look around, no rabbit. I try to conjure one up to no avail. I hang it up and head into town. I go to leap down into first avenue. You see, the street I lived on and first avenue are seperated by a drop. In my dream, I extend the drop the frop to five feet to fifteen. I stopped before I made the jump. I was scared, but then I remember it is a dream. I run back a little ways and do a Matrix-esque jump into first avenue. The dream changes to the Matrix. It's dark and rainy, but then I wake up.
.
I'm prepared for a false awakening this time. I "wake up" in my old home one more time. The only exception is a balcony has been added to my parents room. I look out and my dad comes in. I tell him that this is a dream and to look at my hand. I hold up a hand with ten fingers. I head out and back into this Matrix-like perversion of my childhood neighborhood. I hope onto a building, but the dream changes again.
.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.
I'm at Bibb Elementary, the first school I had ever attended. It was closed downshortly before I would have graduated. It's a derelict, now. I have someone with me, we talk about getting into the building. I just want to see it for nostalgia's sake, but he wants to get into the "Aluminum Room" and steal all the metal to sell as scrap. It's night now and he has a girl with him. We break in through the front doors. And turns left. At the end of the hallway is a flight of stairs. We head down, but it's too dark. I try and use a nearby stick to cast a spell of illumination. It works, but only slightly. The guy that I'm with tells the girl to go get some matches. I edge my way down the stairs. The girl comes back with a box of ridiculously oversized matches. I grb one and try to strike it on the back of my companion's leather jacket. I manage to create some sparks, but not ignite it. He takes one and gets it lit. It prvides just enough light to see.
.
We edge down and enter the basement floor. He goes to the "Aluminum Room" with the girl while I sit admire my old school. The light dims, I assume the match just died. I head to the room to investigate. I see two men talking. They are speaking about a monster they have chained up. They talk about some intruders it has killed. I get a glimpse of a mounstrous beast chained up. Terrified I peer into the "Aluminum Room" A flash of lighting lights up the room. Laying dead are my companion, and two girls. I have to get out, but then I wake up.

Drugs and Wheelchairs

6/12/08

I'm hanging out with Chris. I never see him, but I know he's with me. It's us and some friends at school. A student offers me this "pill". It's not like a normal pill. It's a swirled brown, wafer thin, circular strip. It apparantly comes in packs of six or so. I take the pill from him and eat it. My vision becomes something a lava lamp would probably throw up. It a trippy pattern of mostly green, but with every color under the rainbow. I get my vision back and it is much later. I'm in class and with the people from earlier, but I think Chris is gone. They're staring at me, freaking out. I'm in my desk, and my knees are shaking uncontrollably. It's my whole body shaking. The people I'm with are hoping they do not get caught. Then I wake up. This is the third dream I have had where I've been on drugs. Almost all of those times I'm with Chris. I guess he's a bad influence on my dream-self.

I am sitting in a wheelchair. I'm rolling around inside of a superstore. It is not Wal*Mart, but more like Sears or something. I'm not supposed to be in the wheelchair and I know it. I'm talking, being nice, when I speak to a police officer. He knows that something is up and touches his hat. A signal to an undercover officer near the door. I begin rolling away, but turn to the undercover cop and let loose a smile. I'm not sure if it frightens him or if he jsut doesn't believe I could be the bad guy. Any way he stops and I keep rolling. I know they're after me, now. Rolling down ling aisles I head toward the gardening dapartment. I roll through the doors and I'm out. I leap from the chair and run down the road. I can ehar a radio. It's giving a report about an escaped con-artist who used a wheelchair to evade police.

I get to a fork in the road and try to flag down a car. After a couple tries, I hurl myself onto the hood of a black pickup, forcing it to stop. I got to open the driverside door, but the truck turns into a toy in my hand. The background disappears into whiteness. There I am sitting at the fork in a road, holding a toy truck, whiteness surrounds me. Then I realise it's a dream just before I wake up.
