I was driving to school but had left really late. By the time I arrived I had missed half my classes and rather than going to the other half, I decided to get some food from the cafeteria. There were a few others around talking casually. I bought a blue (bubblegum?) Fanta slushy and filled it up myself from behind a counter.
Later on I was still hanging around the area but it was dark outside now and more people were arriving. I asked a Mr C what I had missed in English today and he gave a vague answer that it was nothing important. A person had just gotten another Fanta slushy and started yelling that they had won! They had won a trip for themselves and one friend to go overseas on a safari. It seemed like as good a time as any to try my own luck, so I went and bought another. This time though there was this bald asian guy behind the counter and he made me give him the cup to fill up. When he gave it back to me he said that I should turn up to the awards giving event for all the winners "Just in case" which meant I had won but he wasn't allowed to say it outright.
I kept re-reading this number code on the side of my cup which was about 10 digits long. Someone eventually called out my numbers and I got so excited as he got to the last three numbers because I knew I was going to win from what the guy had said earlier.

Something about K or L setting T's arm on fire. It was a cool looking trick where they had it burn without actually hurting him but since they don't actually like him that much they weren't all that careful about it. He freaked out and got a little burnt.

A priest/religious figure head was speaking to a group of people and I was sitting at the back. He was an excellent speaker and I remember thinking he really engaged the young audience well. He even demonstrated a point by giving the birdie, which I thought I would never see but he was not nearly as conservative as I had expected.

I was in the final round of an Unreal Tournament. The last mission was an assault on this huge satellitey space station from the earth. We had to climb up and get to the top to steal/sabotage this huge electric blue power core. Using a complicated yet very fun system of jump pads I systematically worked my way up my section of the instilation. No one else was around because we all had very different and very specific jobs. Mine was to take the initial few levels of the open-sided complex and then find a set of extra weapons for everyone.
Out on the wings in obscure places were these weapon caches but being guarded by big laser turrets I couldn't get through to them. One of the other team members had completed his job which was to hack the lower regions security network. This him to cover me with big red lasers from above as I recovered the weaponry.
The mission in the end was a success.

Sucked In

On a foreign planet human forces had conquered an alien race. Enslaving them through the capture and threatening of the queen mind, the humans felt invincible. A few months into their rule, the humans had established a calmer control over the aliens as the queen mind seemed to have become resigned to the fact that the humans had won.

Walking through a subterrainien cave, the commanding officer of the human forces was talking to the queen about further exploration of the planet. There were large parts of the planet, including the immediate area, which the humans hadn't explored because the caves were designed for alien movement. The queen being a huge pulsing brain-like organism explained that she maintained control through the use of a strict hierarchical system of lower-order thinking 'male' brains.
The commander demanded an explanation as to why he was not informed of this before and put one of the queen's bobbing, membranous brain sacks into a head/brain lock with his bulging arms. Displeased but still following orders, the queen summoned one of the lower-order brains.
It rose insanely fast out of a huge hole in the cave floor and began making oozing and sucking noises with lots of tentacles. The humans tried to capture this brain as well but as the second-in-command for the humans climbed onto the 'male' brain's body, the queen burst open with hundreds of tentacles, filling the entire cave in a second and sucking up the other brain. She practically ate the other brain and in doing so, consumed the human on top of it.
Then just as quickly she returned to her passive size (about twice as high as an adult human and about 8 wide + feeling tentacles as leg like movers). The hole in the cave floor was empty, sucked clean. The second-in-command officer had completely vanished as well.
Feeling rather pleased with herself, the queen confidently summoned another 'male' brain. She announced that it would take the last one's place in the order of control. Turning, the queen obvserved as the human officers, including the commander, backed away from the queen slowly.
The humans had not realized just how shallow into the planet their forces were. The aliens would rise.

Had a very eventful dream I can't remember it now very well at all but I remember lots of things happening but logically so. It must have been a longer (relatively) dream than usual. It involved driving and E at some points.

Frag 1
Driving away from K's party just like in RL but at the intersection I said its faster to turn left. E was driving and unsure but both B and I assured her going left was the best route (which is true in RL too). We took it and got to the main drag just as expected, much faster than going right and around numerous extra blocks.

Frag 2
Was at school and someone had a 'hat' (?) that was special because it was rare/unique. Mr Burns (Simpsons) had recently had the hat taken from him but no one wanted to give it back to him because he deserved to lose it.
Outside the MPU at school, the person was wearing it and showing it off when Mr Burns came our (he was a real life interpretation) and told her that its just any old hat, its a <something> crown. The fact that it was this special crown meant it gave the wear superhuman powers.
Due to the magical nature of this crown, everyone wanted to keep it for themselves but the wearer ran off. After we had all calmed down somewhat, they returned and began keeping us at bay by using her newly acquired powers.
Submitting to her power, we all stopped trying to get the crown; this was the plan of the group however, to get her guard down and then all jump her at once. The plan worked perfectly. I grabbed the crown and threw it away while at the same time two other people put a black bag over her head so that she couldn't aim her remaining powers at us. Yet another person swiftly grabbed the crown and walked away casually toward J block.
When the original wearer got the bag off her head, everyone stood around acting casual so that she couldn't blame any of us. She looked around for the crown and even at the carrier of it, but they continued to just walk naturally and not run so that no suspicion was raised.
The point seemed to be more to disempower the girl rather than empower any one of us. Burns appeared to simply want no one else to have the power of his crown if he couldn't have it.

Reload that Thought
At my primary school's hall/stage area with the extra stage area setup to give us performers the most room possible while we practiced for our Rocka performance. Everyone had been on holidays for a while and really needed to put in a few good hours to get back into sync and up to scratch to perform in a few days time.
I had a unique role at the beginning which wasn't hard or very long but I really needed to nail it. Unfortunately my partner wasn't around and I couldn't, for the life of me, remember the movements. I started to freak out that I would screw it all up.
I knew a couple of the moves though so I went out the back stage entrance door to practice outside. Outside appeared to be a sort of park area with wooden benches and tables scattered around the grassy area. There were also other school buildings that are unfamiliar to me lining the area snugly.
N was with a bunch of other girls who were sitting around, practicing spins and some other Spanish moves. This encouraged me to do my own practice and not bother about others watching me because I knew I could do it all properly.
In going outside I pulled out a black, really sleek, sliding pocket computer because I wanted to be able to play the music track I was practicing for.
I told it to copy the files off another remote computer but when it got to playing it only had one of the other tracks. L was part of a small group of us performers which also included S and T and backstage crew and she told me to reload some piece of hardware. I did and all the tracks loaded perfectly.
I knew I should have done some training but I also wanted to hangout with this group of friends in the sun while we could, so I compromised to listen to the music while we hung around (better than nothing).

Waiting for my school bus at my regular spot I was with at least one other friend. In front of us at the roadside were three girls from a different school. A couple of buses came passed which was weird because normally its just ours. When it came we briefly checked with the driver that it wasn't ours and went back to relaxing on the wall we had been sitting on.
At some point later I was on the bus and it was pretty full. I was moving up and down it talking to people and everything was really fun and friendly. At an intersection the bus stopped and I was standing next to S. I turned to her and told her that I had had a dream about her last night (see above; although here my memory of it was different) and she said how cool that was. She was in a really bubbly mood and gave me a really nice, friendly hug.

I was driving somewhere and I heard a firetruck siren. I waited to see where it was before going through an intersection but while it was getting louder it never seemed to arrive where I was. I carefully got to the other side but panicked when I thought I was on the wrong side of the road; it was a split road and I was actually in the right.

You watch Heroes? Same! Anyway awesome DJ.

Oh yeah man. I love heroes and my heroes themed dreams. Thanks for dropping by.


Something I just thought of which stuck me as odd that I thought I should include in here. I have never (at this point) had a dream involving juggling in any way, shape or form. I practice juggling quite a lot and its a personal RL goal of mine to improve my juggling; I have juggling balls sitting on my desk that I see every day. Something like that I would have thought would come up from time to time. Perhaps my realization of this will have an impact.

Been sleeping really well lately and my dream count, vividness and recall are all improving as a result.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to get anything down this morning so most was lost.

Walking through a mildly altered version of the botanic gardens I had some kind of dream memory that it was Monday. That, combined with the fact that I did not remember travelling to where I was now (there was a lot of other dreams before this) made me question my surroundings.
I immediately knew it was a dream. I didn't feel in great control and I haven't gone lucid in a while now so I wanted to do something fun before I lost it altogether. I jumped off a rock and began flying in low over the rockflowing creek next to the path. My instability in the dream was making an unnatural darkness descend but I didn't mind. I decided I wanted some supernatural fun while I could and brought out my favourite dream power, lightning.
I was casually letting electricity ripple and spark out of my left hand as I cruised along through the air. I was letting it snap to the water below me as I flew and loved the contrasting electric blue glow in the darkness (3rd person view).
Really not wanting to let it go so early I landed and went to RC because I promise myself that every time I get lucid I will attempt to ground myself as much as possible in order to maintain control. The finger through the palm worked exactly as it does and the familiar (but long missed) sensation of my index finger in my palm came back to me.
The unnatural darkness unfortunately was diminishing my vision and I must have begun to wake up. I had the great idea of opening my dream eyes properly which pretty much involved me opening my RL eyes and waking up completely.
Oh well, there wasn't much left in the dream anyway.

13/10/09
My uncle's blue truck was parked somewhere and I drove past it.

14/10/09
I 'woke up' next to E in my bed. We were both fully dressed and had obviously fallen asleep by accident while on my bed last night. The feeling of getting to wake up with her in my arms was so nice; it made me all warm and fuzzy; being one of the things I daydream about often.
I thought the whole thing would probably go down bad with both our parents but since it was a genuine accident it would blow over, especially since we hadn't done anything anyway.
I got up and saw it was about 8am. I was still really tired but wasn't going to go back to sleep with her still here. My movement had woken her up a bit and she asked me sleepily why I was getting up. I told her her mother was going to really want to know where she was and she should probably go as soon as possible.

15/10/09
I 'woke up' with a very hairy chest this morning (werewolf style). I was freaking out a bit by the intense growth of it all but figured I would just get used to it. Feeling like it was just a bit of a nuisance I went back to sleep.

17/10/09
I was not at all freaked out in my dream to find E's head. It was in a bag of some sort and I pulled it out easily and simply looked at it. I knew it was her head but it didn't bother me too much. There was no blood or severed skin around the neck, just a head. Like it had been taken from a doll - a doll of a person.
There was something black in the background; the black tank top she wore rock climbing keeps coming to mind so I figure it was that and probably her body. I may have been reuniting her head with her body.

The Next Techno Man
Hundreds of thousands of humans were working in an insanely massive subterranean cave doing some kind of mining/excavation. All of the people I saw were women, probably because their huge alien overlords wanted them segregated; there was some taboo on human breeding. In the centre of the whole cavern that seemed to drop down endlessly into the earth spiraled the mother of all aliens. It was in complete control over all other life on the planet and cared not for the life of its human slaves.
All of the people I saw up close were women that wore a pink and blue tightly fitting uniform. At some point here everything turned into old anime styling visually.
The main character that I was following had apparently been hiding a baby she had had and was about to get found out for it. She asked her best friend to take the baby boy and escape with him to a safe location. As soon as the baby was out of sight, the huge overlord alien was informed of the child's existence and began somehow yelling at everyone that "Whoever has done this will be found and dealt with!" which pretty much meant they were killed. It extended an arm-like tentacle out toward random miners and as it turned to pass over the women who was to blame it grabbed her. The tentacle split and sprouted out numerous other tentacles that clung to her and also kept searching around the cave walls and tunnels behind her.
Knowing it had found the right women, the alien didn't kill her immediately but instead began crushing her alive, slowly, so that she would tell it where the baby had gone.
I don't think so told it, she just let herself die for the child's sake.
The child had to escape for there to be any hope for the other humans and the mother somehow knew this through an ancient prophecy. He would eventually return to his birthplace and save his family/humans from their enslavement.

Wow! That dream is so badass!

Classic Robot Wars
A good team of transformer robots/technoman suited men were battling each other, medieval style. The fight started out on horses that seriously should not have been able to support that much metal, but nevertheless got some good speeds going. The machines would charge each other and take swings at each other as they past in a duel like fashion.
The leader of the robots I affiliated with eventually jumped to the his feet and performed a charging roll into the air, ripping his opponent in half with a razor blade/sword attached to his arm.
Here everything started becoming more modern and about a dozen both good and bad robots poured out of nowhere to start brawling with each other. The leader was stacked 3 vs 1 but tanked them all hardcore and killed them all.
Pushing forward through the grassy battlefield, big flaming projectiles were flying into the melee from what initially appeared to be a catapult. The evil robots were soon dispatched of but this artillery kept firing and was becoming increasingly accurate and powerful.
Rushing to stop it, the leader and his second in command discovered a huge yellow and silver robot back over the hillside. It stood easily 6 times their height; like something from an Armored Core game. It continued to fire down at the two machine-men but was slow to reload and seemed incapable of movement. It also didn't seem concerned for its own safety as the two smaller mechs climbed it and tried to hack pieces off of it.
Upon reaching the torso area, they found an access hatch/switch which they activated. It opened the whole chest cavity and inside was another, normal sized unpolished silver robot. It carried some controls that obviously controlled the big yellow machine. He tried to escape but was easily cut down.
The controls to the giant AC were destroyed deliberately and it was dismantled.

Looking to get back into things in the holidays.

This was the first lick of lucidity I've had this year; it wasn't planned.

I had been doing something in the building near the roadway of my old primary school. I remember thinking I it was boring and stepped outside onto the concrete. It was night but the sky was a weird dusty-brown cross purple swirl; like a twilight desert in the sky. Not knowing what I wanted I saw it and decided I would fly off to somewhere more interesting. Sometimes this sort of spontaneous flying away fails on me, but this time it worked fine, as I gained height however I became more aware of RL and while not wanting to wake still woke up.

It has motivated me to get back into my dream journaling.

26/1/10
I was swimming in a pool doing underwater handstands. I discovered that if I tilted my head up to look straight forward (like you're supposed to do in a normal handstand) all the air in my mouth and windpipe rose up and into my lungs. In this way it was like taking an entire extra breathe of air - I felt amazed by this discovery.
I remember doing it more than once in the same dive which makes even less sense - obviously my mind was just making up some dream logic to stop water going up my nose.

5/2/10
I was upstairs near the bathroom and we were being robbed but no one seemed to care. We couldn't see who was doing it but stuff kept disappearing. I had 3 female cousins there but they were actually TV personalities (can't remember which ones now) in RL. I remember them sitting together on a lounge laughing away just like families do.

I just typed up a whole bunch of a funky dream about a new school with: C, E, my hair being cut, lots of people, wall running down the stairwell, M at recess and something about the gym area - the whole institute was super boring and C recognised it too.
However I accidentally flick to another page and back so I lost it >.<
So now I have my notes but I doubt I'll bother typing all that again.

Better than my massive nothing I suppose.
