Right, two nights and I still haven't remembered any dreams, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna get better.....I hope.
Anyway I set an alarm for 90 minutes into sleep but it didn't wake me up , but I did wake up at like 4 am anyway, and I couldn't remember all a dream, but I remember that it had something to do with Death Note, and at one point there would be a man in a suit inside a shop surrounded by traffic cones. When someone walked past he would yell 'Come talk to me!' and shoot their legs (I think with a tommy gun) and drag them in the store

Probably best I didn't remember it...

But I've come to the conclusion that my dreams are definitely almost always amalgamation of memories, my last dream was due to a youtube video which mentioned bananas, the documentary I watched about Henry VIII and the Darwin documentary by David Attenborough. Tonights was from death note and the FPSs I played....
Anyway, I hope my dream recall gets better

I suddenly remembered that two nights ago I had a part where I was in my school library looking for a book, I walked through and thought that it was odd that it felt just like any other building, instead of the distinct feel that my library usually feels, but even then I didn't do a reality check because thinking back the dream was INCREDIBLY realistic.
Anyway I went to religion section, saw a massive christian book, went back and tried to find the religion section

Didn't put this as a whole dream because I'm not sure if this was the whole dream or not, and it's very late...

I am SOOO happy, because I've started to remember dreams so much better now! I've remembed a short hitman dream which I'm not gonna bother posting yesterday, and todahy I remembered 5!!!!
Now there was nothing I did to start this, I went to bed later and woke up later, roughly 8-10 hours sleep, (there was a party the night before ) and I decided 'Screw reality checks, for now I'm just gonna focus on Dream recall.'
But I'm getting much better.
Then again I think that some of these may have been one dream, but I'm not sure; for instance the card one could have lead to the hitman one which lead to the skateboarding one which lead to the walkomentry one....but who knows, still:

Okay the dreams:
17/4/09
1: My Friend And I
All I'm gonna say is that my friend and I were mucking around, suddenly we had strippers and then my Dad walked in , REALLY glad this didn't happen.

2:Yu-Gi-Oh!
As the name suggests, this was a Yu-Gi-Oh duel...No I don't understand it either . Anyway I am walking away, extremely happy that I have just thrashed someone at a duel. Suddenly Kaiba walks up to me and boasts that I cannot beat him; but just when I am about to accept, Aten walks up and says 'Well then Kaiba, surely you can even beat us at a Two on One duel then!' Kaiba accepts, and we start to duel, instantly he plays an amazing card (with awesome artwork ) which isn't in the game surprisingly. Aten takese his move and plays a really bad card (No the actual rules to the game didn't apply in this game...) I look at my cards and can see a winning strategy, but before I do it Aten plays a card and we win. I may have won but I'm kind of dissapointed, but I walk away pleased none-the-less.

3:Hitman: The Haunted Tactial Espionage Role-Playing Screw-Up
I am Hitman, and I am in front of a house similar to that in a New Life, and my only goal is to get inside. I circle the neighbourhood and find that the house is surrounded by cameras, FBI agents, and two 'Ice Cream Trucks'. I finally find a blind spot which conveniently has a small tunnel into the house; crawling through it I find myself in the Kitchen, and once the guards have passed I run up the stairs into a room, which seems to belong to a very young girl.
I place a doll on a table, which suddenly causes a manakin of a young girl next to me hanging on the wall to become possessed! I listen to it's words (which I cannot remember) until it stops and two FBI agents burst into the room, but they don't stand a chance. I uncover my Silverballer and deliver two perfectly executed shots to the head. I sit down next to the adjacent computer, and the dream ends.
The scary thing about this was that the whole time I thought that it was a comedy

4: Skateboarding, no I know nothing about it.
Me and another friend are sat at a computer, and I show him an awesome skateboarding video, he likes it and I decide to show him another funny video, and start searching for the video of the Hitman dream I just told you about (?!!!) when the dream ends (I think)

5: Finally, the Walkomentry
I seem to be in one of those documentary buildings where you walk around a building seeing stuff while a narrator explains everything through the speakers. It is about how industries disply too much that women are commercial and men are brave, calm yet still headstrong. It starts by talking about an actress/showwoman and shows a picture of her and then says a fake name. Suddenly it explains that men also have this problem, but the next thing I know it is showing me scenes from Aladdin

That's it, *phew*
Of course as I said I think that some may have been one dream, heck for all I know it could have been one long dream that lead from the skateboarding one to the walkomentry to the hitman one to the Yu-Gi-Oh one or any of those in any order, but still, it's a lot to remember so I am immensly happy!

Riiiiiiighhht....
Yeah I'm sorry that I haven't been writing (not that anyone reads this anyway ) I was at school and forgot my notebook; but I do have six/seven dreams from two nights ago which are still fresh in my mind (two last night and 4/5 the night before)
But I'll edit it into this post after I've got a question asked, because I think that the last two were Lucid Dreams (Cue angelic chorus) but I'm not sure, go to newbie thread if you want to try and answer my question

EDIT:
Okay here are the two lucid dreams I had last night (I was wondering when I'd get to use that blue):

4/5/09

DILD #1
I'm walking into this really dark room, it's quite small with two sofas and a lamp in the corner (which throughout the whole dream I never htought about turning on ). I walk up to the lamp and think 'well, one pretty cool thing is that since this is a dream this lamp won't have a plug' and I start looking for one, yet I find one! Slightly confused I think that it obviously won't connect to the lamp, yet it does again, though it's to the middle of the lamp.
Still not Lucid (though my subconscious seemed to REALLY want ot make me lucid) I try to unplug the lamp from the inside and manage it! Suddenly I realise exactly what I've been saying the entire time, I'm
DREAMING!
I realise that I'm dreaming and I am instantly SO excited, but calm myself when I remember that it could mean that I will lose lucidity. I turn round and am facing a window, which although it is letting light through is not lighting up the room, and as the room slowly gets darker, I realise that my eyes are shut, I struggle for about two minutes to open my eyes in the dream but not in real life, but cannot manage it.
Thankfully the way this ended was perfect for a DEILD

DEILD #1
I start trying to fall into a DEILD, and suddenly sit up really annoyed realising that I couldn't do it, and do a reality check by pinching my nose, BUT I CAN BREATH (weirdly because of my cold), surprised I start doing it again, I'm confused that it feels weird but then I remember that I have a cold and I'm satisfied that I am dreaming. This is much more vivid than the other one, probably because it's a DEILD, anyway I stay in bed thinking about what I can do (actually thinking back I may have been levitating slightly above the bed) but I then wake up.

I tried to DEILD again but for some reason I sit up and after a hopeful reality check (now that I've seen how vivid dreams can really be) I affirm that I'm awake, but it was still awesome

Still the dreams the night before were probably more interesting , look at the next post for them.
