Krista's Dream Journal

[Krista]

I suppose I oughta start with the dream I had last night. School was starting back up, and we had to go get our class schedules. But before I had a chance to pick it up, I had to go to the choir room and reherse for the musical. We were all practicing, and I asked one of my friends if we were even supposed to be in there, and they said no. I asked the same person if they had gotten their schedules, and they said yes. So I rushed out to get my schedule. The school seemed dark and deserted, and I had trouble finding my way to the room where we usually go to pick up our schedules. I finally got there, and the schedule didn't make any sense! I couldn't understand any of what it said. I had missed 1st period because of choir, so I had to go to my 2nd period (which was music theory), which I couldn't find. I had to ask smeone to help me, and they got kinda frustrated and said I should know where the class was, but they helped me anyway. When we found it, the teacher who usually teaches music theory (the choir teacher teaches it) wasn't there, but was replaced with a man that looked like my middle school art teacher. It was in a very small room and only a few people were in the class with me, but I was just happy that I had found it. Then I woke up. I had another dream but I don't really recall much of it, except for it was weird and it had to do with some sort of jungle with crocodiles in it. Despite not being able to remember a lot of this dream, I think my recall is getting better.

Had my second real lucid last night. Yay! It didn't start out lucid though, there's quite a bit before I became lucid. It started that I was in Disney World with my family and the guy I really like in waking life (throughout this entry I will only refer to him as "the guy"). We were walking around one of the parks, I can't remember which one, and I saw all these little girls in tutus running around an area that almost looked like Discovery Zone (a place I used to play at when I was little), and I also saw this girl I really don't like very much in waking life. We ran around with them for awhile, and then everyone had to answer these questions. I couldn't answer the question, I don't remember what it was, but all the little girls made me feel very stupid because they could answer the quesitons. Now I was in a tutu, my blue dance recital outfit from the 3rd grade to be exact. The guy and I left, and on my way out I elbowed the girl I didn't like and said "Oops, sorry!" and ran off with the guy. Then we saw a girl chasing a dog, and we were laughing because she looked so funny. Shen she turned into a dog...and we walked away. I remember him holding me and kissing me after that, and I remember telling him how great it was that he was there with me, but I don't remember many details about it. Then we decided to go to the MGM park, so we pushed a button and warped there. My parents warped there right after us. The guy dissarpeared, and I called him on my cell to ask if he wanted to ride Rockn Rollercoaster, but he didn't want to. He said he'd wait outside. So me and my family all rode it, and it was an amazing ride, I've ridden it before in waking life, and the dream recreated it pretty well. Except for sometime during the course of the ride, some voice said something about Puerto Rico for some reason. Anyway, this is where the lucid part starts. For some reason after I get off the ride, I realized I was dreaming, so I decide to walk through the wall to see what's on the other side. I try a few times, but the wall feels like rubber, and it makes an imprint of my face where I tried to walk through it. I did eventually get through it though, and I found myself in this warehouse type place with a lot of junk scattered around, and it had many doors. I kept telling myself that I would find the guy I like on the other side of one of the doors and the environment would change, but no matter which door I opened, I found an empty part of the warehouse. At one point I found this dresser type thing, and upon opening it, I found a keychain with tiny musical instruments on it, and I took it and pocketed it (by the way, at this point I'm not in the tutu anymore, lol). I started to take in how real and vivid everything was, and I felt the off white colored wall and a silver doorknob, which felt surprisingly real. I even remember what colors they were, and it's usually not normal for me to recall colors well. Then I opened the door that was in front of me and entered yet another part of the warehouse. I saw 2 disheveled, scruffy men walking around in bathrobes. One of them was short, had messy blonde hair, glasses, and a light turquoise and pale yellow plaid robe on. He was also slouching a lot. Then I started to see many more people after I opened yet another door. I decided I wanted to see the guy at the beach, so I tried spinning and closing my eyes. The people's voices started to dissapear and I started to hear the ocean, but when I opened my eyes, I found myself in my room. I had woken up instead of going to the beach. Kinda dissapointing that I couldn't find the guy and I woke up instead of changing environments, but still, it was a LD, and it was much more vivid than my first one.

I had a couple of dreams last night. The second one I can't remember much of though. In the first one, I was really good friends with this girl (in waking life I barely know her). Me, her, and my family were all appearantly on vacation, though I'm not sure where. Her and I started really getting into drugs and drinking. We even started taking ecstasy, and got addicted. I've never done that in waking life. I felt very energized and happy from it for maybe a few seconds, then it just went away (it wasn't followed by depression or anything). So we kept taking the ecstasy, drinking, and smoking pot, when my little brother came in, picked up one of our bags of ecstasy, and started eating it like candy! I told him no, you can't do that...it's not good for you. He said "Oh...that's estacy isn't it?" and I said "Yes...please don't tell". And he just stared at me. When me and my friend were finished, we put the drugs away in one of my mom's bags for some reason. The next day we were going home from our vacation, and I wondered if my mom had seen what was in the bag. I went and checked in it, and it didn't seem like she had. I wanted to get rid of the drugs, so I took them down from out hotel room and dumped them by the wall of the hotel. When I turned around, there was a black woman police officer, and she said "You're under arrest sugar" (kinda like in Austin Powers, lol). They had known I'd been doing drugs somehow. I told her I got rid of them, but then another officer came over. I went up to the room and told my mom what happened. She said she had known I'd been doing the drugs all along, then she pulled out two pictures of me. One of me high, the other of me sober. I went back downstairs, expecting the worst, when I saw one of my waking life friends named Alex. He looked a lot different and was with someone else. They were wearing camo and walking dogs. They offered to hide me from the police. I didn't think it was a good idea, but I ended up with them anyways. They were camping. I remember when I was at the tent, it was raining and very dreary outside, and I just sat there in the middle of the rain. Then all of the sudden the tent was gone and the ocean seemed to appear where it had been. That's all I can remember before I woke up. All I can remember of my second dream was that I had a huge closet full of clothes, and I was looking for a certain shirt.

[Krista]

Can't remember any dreams from last night. If I do start to recall something though, I'll update. Edit: I've started to remember one. Yay! I was at my friend Jane's house, and my ex boyfriend (who is one of her best friends) was there too. Appearantly he had been away for months, and I was so excited to see him, but he was more excited to see Jane. I kept trying to get his attention, but he only paid attention to Jane. I remember feeling very depressed at this point. Then he finally started to notice me, and he kissed me and hugged me, and we started to date again. Jane wasn't very happy about it, but she respected our decisions. I also remember having to leave her house for some reason, and it was about to storm, but I was supposed to come back. That's all I remember of that dream. I know I had at least one more last night, but I can't really recall any of it. Oh well...at least I remembered a lot of my first one.

[Krista]

I had three dreams last night. The first one took place at school. It was the first day back. I remember being at lunch and then going to 5th period choir right afterwards. The choir room looked a lot different than it's supposed to, and the teacher had a podium/desk thing she sat at. She told us to sing a song, I don't remember what she called it, but it was a mixture between Bohemian Rhapsody and a Coheed & Cambria song. I started early and was raspy on the first note, which made my best friend, Rachel, look at me really funny, but nothing else happened for the rest of the song. Then my teacher asked for volunteers to come sing in front of the class. Tons of people wanted to, but I just looked away. Then everyone sorta dissapeared and it was just me in the room. I looked down at the floor and people had written their names there, and names of their dogs. Then I had a dog sitting next to me. A little fluffy dog. My choir teacher came in then and wanted us to go outside and give it a bath. It was dark and dreary outside, and a little chilly. So we tried to give the dog a bath and it really freaked him out. We went back inside, and I realized that since 5th period was almost over, I could go home. But then I remembered I hadn't been to my early day class. Since it was the first day of school, I didn't know if they had early day that day. So I went to the office, which looked very strange with all the colors and plushy chairs, and asked someone if there had been early day, and they said no, instead that day it would be held during 6th period. That's all I remember of this dream. The second one I can't recall at all. The third one was yet another school dream. Again, it was the first day of school, and I had my schedule. I remember going to my old 2nd period class, and everyone that was in their with me last year was there again, and I suggested that maybe we go to our new 3rd period (for some reason, in the dream I said 3rd instead of 2nd). At this point the dream is in 3rd person and I can see myself and everyone else getting up and walking out. It goes back to 1st person, and I look at my schedule to see where to go next...which was government/economics. I went upstairs where the govt/eco classes are, and the hallways had carpet and had lots of desks and chairs, each class seperated by a wall. There was no door or windows, just one wall sperating each class. I looked for my teacher's name, which in the dream was James Bearden or something like that, on each of the name tags that were in the classes. I finally found it and saw my friends Maegan and Grace sitting in the class. I sat by Maegan, then the teacher came, who happened to be a woman, and started to teach. She was teaching some really weird stuff, like about monkeys or something, when this guy got in trouble for being at the computer without asking. He was sent to the office. A couple more people went to the computers then, and the class was very quiet. I was drawing something, like glass bottles I think, and I drew them very well. I can't draw at all in waking life. Then Grace started to sing a song...very loud. She sang something about me, her, and I think Brittany, and how we all liked something a lot. The last word she sang was the word loud, and she made sure that was the loudest part of her song. I kept telling her to be quiet, but she wouldn't. Then I suddenly realized that AP biology wasn't on my schedule, and I had signed up for it. Then I woke up. I wonder what could be making me have all these school dreams? I don't think I've ever had this many before, especially during the summer.

[Krista]

I know I had at least 3 dreams last night, but I can only remember the end of my last one. I was preparing for my own funeral and getting a photo album together. My backyard was being used as a shooting range. It was cloudy out. This family came, a father, who had medium length curly red hair, his sons, and a mother. One of the little boys, a blonde, hit his head on the edge of a table, and he started crying. For some reason I was thinking in my head "severe head trauma". The mother ran over to him, trying to comfort him. I could see all these tears streaming from his eyes...that's all I remember. Edit: I just went back to sleep for about an hour. I had a small dream about looking at shoes at Target, lol...then I woke up, turned over, and tried to get a little more sleep. I was drifting off, and I expierienced sleep paralysis for the first time. I felt a tingling sensation, and it got pretty strong, especially in my lower back. I could hear my heart pounding in my head, and I saw these black circles in front of my eyes. I also heard a buzzing noise, similar to a chain saw. I kept feeling like I was falling backwards over and over again. I didn't try to move, because even though I knew what was going on, I knew it would freak me out not being able to move. Then I started to dream that I was trying to move my hands and feet. The moved a little bit, then I got up out of bed. The whole time I still felt the tingling and could hear my heart very loudly. Then I woke up. Pretty interesting expierience, though I don't find sleep paralysis too pleasant, lol.

[Krista]

Lucid dream number 3! I was at this theme park type place, and I saw this rollercoaster that had purple flowery seats. Somehow, that made me realize "Hey, I'm dreaming!". So now things are starting to fade a little bit, so I examine my hands. This makes everything quite vivid. I'm in what looks like a lush green field with trees in the background. The green of the grass and trees was very vivid. I wanted to fly, so I decided to see if I could. I started running very fast and jumping to see if that would keep me in the air. It didn't work, so I thought of a jet pack being on my back. That worked, and I was flying around for a little while. Then all of the sudden, I was in my house, in a room that doesn't exist. There were these dim lights all around the room. I decided to see if I could change their color from white to dark blue. It took a few tries, but I finally got them all to turn dark blue. Then I walked around for a little while. I don't remember seeing many people in this dream, I think I saw my neighbors while I was running, trying to fly, but that's about it. Anyway, then I somehow knew my dream was going to end soon, so I wanted to try to see if I could make the guy I like appear so I could hug him. I ran over to my bonus room and laid on the couch, but then I woke up. Or so I thought. It was a false awakening. I had woken up to my alarm, which is my radio, and my (gay) guy friend was sleeping next to me. He woke up, and my radio was suddenly a TV/radio. My guy friend turned it up kind of loud, but I wanted to go back to sleep. I couldn't figure out how to turn it down though. It was always loud with every button I pushed. Finally my guy friend figured it out, and we decided to go back to sleep. He held my hand, and in the dream, this seemed quite normal (in waking life, there's no way this would happen). We fell asleep, and I had yet another false awakening. This one was shorter though. I just "woke up" and saw the guy still next to me. Then I woke up for real. This LD wasn't as good as the one I had before it, but it seems like I have a bit more control over my environment now. I think going to this site daily helps a lot. Thanks DV!

[Krista]

Yet another LD! I can't remember a lot before I became lucid. It had something to do with me trying to get ahold of my ex boyfriend. I was trying to find his cell phone number, and a creepy guy called me. Can't remember much else though. Then I realized I was dreaming. I was in my room, and I floated up through the roof into space. After going through the roof, I guess I got kinda excited and almost lost it, but I looked at my hands, which brough everything back. I was in space. There were many different colored stars and planets, it was beautiful. The it changed into my room. I tried to get the stars to come back, but I couldn't. So I went downstairs and saw my mom in the kitchen. I said "Hey, look what I can do!" and I tried to get fire to appear in my hand. It didn't work at first, then I used a verbal command. I said "Fire WILL appear in my hand!" and lo and behold, it did! I spread it to my other arm, then rubbed my hands together to make it dissapear. The next part I don't remember too clearly. I turned something into a giant snake doll and draped it around my neck. Then I turned it into a real snake and a magazine. Appearantly, the snake was my little brother's, so I said "You WILL go back up to your cage!" and he did. Now I start to remember clearer. I floated up through the ceiling and into my parents' room. Now I knew that I could make the guy I like appear. I said "Drew WILL appear!" and slowly but surely, he started to appear on my parents' bed. I said "Drew? I can't see you." Then as he was appearing, he said "What? I'm right here!". When he was done appearing, I climbed up on my bed and held his hands, which felt so real. Then I kissed him. When we started to make out, I guess I got a little excited and woke up. But wow, that was the most amazing lucid I've had so far! I had another dream after that. It was graduation day, and I didn't have my cap and gown. Luckily there was a big thing before gradutaion, so I called my mom and told her I needed my cap and gown, and she didn't have them! I don't remember much after that though. Two lucid nights in a row=happy Krista.

[Krista]

Talk about a bizarre dream... I was in my bonus room, and my mom, brother, and his friend were in there. I was trying to call my ex to yell at him...he had dated my mom after he broke up with me (keep in mind, he's 18 and my mom's like fourty-eight)! My mom and I fought a lot about it, then a question popped in my head: Oh god, what if she slept with him? I asked her over and over and she didn't answer. Finally she said "Alright, yes I slept with him!" I said "Mom! How could you?" and she replied "It didn't feel very good". Then I saw a flashback of her giving him some crazy collar thing, and she had these huge hooker boots on. I was furious. So I blurted out that I had slept with another one of my ex's, in hopes that it would piss her off. She said "You could have picked someone better...". Anyway, I kept trying to find his number in my contacts list on my phone so I could scream at him. Then my brother's friend texted me. I don't remember what it said, but it interrupted me trying to find the number. When I found it, I kept trying to dial it, but I couldn't remember the last 4 digits. Then I woke up. What a nightmare that was, heh. o_O

[Krista]

Had 2 dreams last night...first one kinda creeped me out. It started with me at home, watching something on TV with my mom. It was supposed to be violent, so she didn't want me to watch a certain part. It had something to do with torture, and a guy got a nails hammered through his head. All the sudden, it wasn't a movie anymore. It was happening in my house. I was in my room when I was told by two men that if I didn't dress in a certain outfit and my hair wasn't the exact color of blonde they wanted, they'd kill me. So I had to shower, and when I got out, my hair was wet, so it didn't look blonde, and they got upset, but I assured them it was. Then one of the men dissapeared. As I was drying my hair, the man that was left said "I love you, would you like to date me?". I looked in his eyes and he kissed me, but I knew I couldn't do it, because he was a murderer. I never answered his question. I finished drying my hair and put on the outfit they wanted me to wear. When I looked in my mirror my hair was blonde with auburn tips, and was much longer than it is now. The guy was kinda mad because he could see my dark brown roots a little, but he didn't kill me. Then I heard a little girl come up to him. She had been tortured. She told him "A bee stung my nose and when I told him, he bit it off...". Then I woke up. The second one was just kinda weird. We (my family) were on vacation and we went into an old abandoned video store, I think it was a Hollywood Video. It was dim in there, and no one was working, but you could still rent movies and buy things. They had way more than movies, too. They had clothes and other stuff you wouldn't expect to find in a video store. We were the only people in there besides these 2 teenage boys who kept following me and purposely bumping into me. I started to look for a present for my friend, Courtney, for her birthday. I decided to get her pajamas. There was a box of pajama pants and t-shirts. I looked through them and picked out some. Then I got an icecream bar that I wanted to give her. When we were walking out, we saw someone smoking behind the counter, but they didn't see us. So we went out to the car. I started to eat the icecream I was supposed to give Courtney, and a lot of it fell onto the floor of the car. I said "Dammit!", and my mom saw the mess on the floor, took her hand, wiped it up, and licked it off her hand. I said "Well I couldn't have given it to her anyway, since we're on vacation and it would have melted...". Then I woke up.

[Krista]

I can only remember one of my dreams from last night. I was in my kitchen, and my brother had bought stuff to tye dye shirts with. So he gave me the shirt and the dye, and I tye dyed the shirt. I walked upstairs and put the shirt on, but it was too big. I looked at the tag and it said it was a medium. I told my brother it was too big and he should have gotten a small. He said "Well I thought you wore a medium." and I said "I wear a medium in tiny small tight shirts, and a small in t-shirts". Then someone came to the door. I went downstairs to answer it, and it was a black man, his daughter, and two little sons. They were there to tye dye. I told them we had to go get more tye dye stuff and I needed to get a new shirt. They all got in the car with me, and we stopped to get ice cream. When we got in there, I saw someone coming in. In waking life, he's this creepy guy that won't quit calling me. He came in and said "Hey, nice seeing you here!" and I was like ehhhhh...and then I called my mom on my cell phone and she asked what was wrong. I whispered "I forgot Nick works here..." and I looked over at him and he waved. That's all I can remember before I woke up.

[Krista]

I just had 3 lucid dreams! I went back to sleep for about an hour this morning and had 3 in a row! ^_^ The first one, I was in my room and my 2 friends, Courtney and Rachel, were there too. I said something that made my friend Rachel call me a f*cking retard. In waking life, she'd NEVER say anything like that so I looked at Courtney and laughed and said "She just said f*cking retard! This must be a dream!" and Courtney just laughed. Then I decided to ask her a question to see what her response would be, since she's a DC. I asked "So am I your best friend?" she replied "Yes! And so are ho utels!" I said "Ho utels?" and Rachel laughed and said "She said hug hotels!" and Courtney said "Yeah, hug hotels!". Then I had a false awakening. I "woke up" in my bed and heard my mom in the hallway saying something about she'd be back soon. So I looked at my cell phone to see what time it was, and my phone had almost run out of batteries, and I just charged it last night. The battery symbol looked weird, so I figured I must be dreaming again. So I floated up through my roof. It was night time outside. I floated down to the ground and took off running, looking for Drew. I saw some people chasing a man dressed up like a ghost. When I called out to Drew, he said "What?", but I couldn't see him. Then I saw him running. It looked like he was running away from something. So I followed him. I kept telling him to stop running, but he wouldn't. Then I really woke up for a minute. I closed my eyes to get some more sleep, and started to feel sleep paralysis. Then I opened my eyes and saw a black woman sitting in my doorway, tying her shoes. I looked at my phone again to see what time it was, and my phone said something like 2:. I though that was odd so I opened my phone and the screen was just weird looking and the battery symbol was messed up. So I figured I was dreaming yet again. I saw a dog walk by my room and I got him to come up on my bed, but then I really woke up. That was pretty amazing I'd say. ^_^

[Krista]

Oh wow...I haven't been on here in months. I've been so busy...marching band started at the end of july and ended at the end of October, then I had choir stuff, a new job in October, and just school in general has been keeping me busy. I should make a effort to use this more often. My recall has gotten a bit rusty since I haven't been making much of an effort to remember, lol. Shame on me. Well I hope to see you guys on here more often! ~Krista

[Krista]

Last night I dreamt that I was at the beach. We were in a really nice hotel room with a balcony overlooking the beach. My friend Alex was there. We went out to the balcony and we kissed. I looked around and there were all these couples that I know in real life laying on the ground kissing. He wrapped his arms around me and we did the same, except for we went a tad bit further...heh. Then I said "Now that we've done this, we can do anything. We can still eat chips together." Yeah, that didn't make any sense. But anyways, that's really all I can recall right now. It was weird, because I basically just had a dream that I was cheating on my boyfriend. I knew it in the dream, but I didn't care.

[Vex Kitten]

"Now that we've done this, we can do anything. We can still eat chips together." [/b] That made me burst out laughing, nearly sprayed my V8 all over my keyboard. Funny the senseless things we say in dreams. Hope you can find time in your busy schedule to keep dream journalling.

[oneironut]

The phrase "all that and a bag of chips" will never be the same for me again. Welcome back!

[Krista]

Lmao. Oh the strange things we say in dreams. It's good to be back, thanks for the welcome! Had a really strange dream last night...yeah it's kind of late in the day for me to be updating lol but I was too lazy earlier. I dreamt that I was somewhere in my school. I'm not sure how I knew it was the school because it looked like a giant warehouse, but I knew it was the school. Two of my friends were trying to sexually harass me...it was really disturbing. They had these strange tools and devices. I got up and ran out and told someone's mother about it. They were very calm about it, like they didn't even believe me. So I ran up to this couple's car (a couple that goes to my school) that were helping with the harassment, and found some things they were using for it. I stole them and showed them to the mother, who took them and was going to get some type of DNA analyzation. I don't remember anything else after that though. I really need to start building my recall up to where it was this past summer. Anyway, I've been having some strange dreams lately. Maybe it's because I've been taking melatonin to help me sleep? I dunno, I've been having a lot of problems sleeping lately and that seems to help a lot. But when I do take it, I have some pretty bizarre dreams.

[Krista]

Since I'm having trouble remembering what I dreamt last night (and I'm bored ), I'm gonna recall a dream I had a couple of months ago, right when I started my job at Subway. I dreamt I was at work, making sandwiches. The Subway looked strange, I remember the inside being dark red and purple. I was making some guy's sandwich. I finished cutting the bread and he said "You know what, I dont' want it anymore". And he just walked out. I didn't know what I messed up on, but I appearantly did mess up, and I sank to the floor in tears. I was a total wreck and I couldn't stop crying. After that, I woke up. Dreams carry such intense emotion...like, when I'm sad in a dream, or angry, it's never just "sad" or "angry". It's more like I'm extremely depressed to the point where nothing will make me stop crying, or anger to the point of screaming profanities, hitting, kicking, etc...same goes with happiness and such. I've always found that so interesting.

[Krista]

I haven't been able to remember much lately, just bits and pieces. But when I was napping I had a strange expierience. I laid down to take a nap, and I never thought I fell asleep. I dreamt that I was jus lying there with my eyes closed. And for some reason I got up, then flopped back down onto the floor and started to feel funny. I felt like I was falling asleep (my eyes were open in the dream), when I started to feel the tingling in my back associated with sleep paralysis. Then I really woke up and still slightly felt the tingling. I was pretty stunned that I was actually asleep that whole time. It was really strange.

[Krista]

Crazy dream. Me and my ex boyfriend were in my room, sitting on my bed. Then we move to the floor and start having sex. We do this for awhile (a long while) and my 15 year old brother barges in the room saying "Krista! Krista!" and I said "BLAKE GET OUT OF HERE!" and then he saw us and just stared, then bolted from the room. So we stop, and sit back on my bed. Somehow we're fully clothed again. And we wonder if my brother told my parents. Well we somehow find out that he did. After that I don't remember anything for a bit, then I remember that I'm in my car in my driveway, and my brother's friend and a girl I know named Marie are sitting in a car next to me. My brother's friend is fractically trying to get me to roll my window down so he can tell me something, but every time I roll it down, my car moves away from them. Finally it stops moving away and he tells me what he needed to (can't remember what it was). After that, I don't remember much of anything, except for watching my angry father walk past me without talking to me, and my mom giving me this banana bread cookie thing, saying "It's better than banana bread!", and me sharing it with my ex (and indeed it was better than banana bread, lol). Throughout the dream, especially throughout the very beginning, my ex would become my current boyfriend for a minute, and then back again into my ex. Pretty weird stuff.

I just napped and had a short dream. I was in the gym at MTSU where I used to play volleyball in middle school, and there were two nets set up with 4 teams playing, two to each net. We were supposedly in school in gym class, even though the gym looked nothing like the one at school. No one really wanted me to play on their team so I just stood in the middle of the two nets and watched. Then my friend Sara wanted me to serve the ball for her team, so I went over to do so. She handed me some sort of paddle and I said "No, I don't need that to serve". Just as I was about to serve, this guy I've seen at school who's really quiet an anti-social at school said "Um, can I go play on their team?" and I laughed and sort of mocked him in a joking way, saying "Can I play on a team that actually wins?" and he smiled. Then the gym teacher came over and said we were going to play something else with the nets and he came over with a box of very small paddles, so I assumed we would play ping pong or something. Then something happened with my friend Caitlin involving the gym teacher being mad about something and I said to Sara something like "Look what the gym teacher did to me a few weeks ago." and there was a big dark blood-red bruise/scar behind my knee. It looked pretty disgusting. We then all lined up like we did in elementary school to go into a different room, and I started to tell Sara how I had furiously scratched the back of my knee before the gym teacher had done something to it, but then I woke up before I got to what the gym teacher had actually done. Okay, so it wasn't such a short dream after all.

I sort of had a lucid...I haven't had one in awhile. I was in my ex's house and I realized that I was dreaming. I floated up through the ceiling, but everything went dark. I tried to examine my hands, but could only see a faint outline. Doing that did keep me in the dream though. Then I felt myself falling. Then I felt myself hit some water. I realized I was inside of this decorative lamp thing that I have in my room. Then I woke up. Kind of crappy, but then again, I haven't had an LD in awhile so maybe there are more, better LD's to come...soon I hope, lol.

I took two melatonin last night for the first time (not for lucid purposes though, I just really wanted to get some sleep and forget about the day), and I had a very interesting dream, that ended up lucid in a couple of places. I was exploring my past. First, I was in my first grade classroom. It looked almost identical to how I remember it. The teacher handed out vocabulary sheets, and handed me one with the answers on it, so I handed it back and got another one. There were all these words on it that I didn't know, but everyone else did. Wow, I felt really stupid at that point, lol. A bunch of first graders are smarter than an 18-year-old in a first grader's body. I remember the first question wanting me to define "small, pale gray eyes". Weird. Then the teacher called time, and I had answered like 4 questions, while the girl next to me had them all finished. After that, I think I woke up for a minute, but I went back to sleep and the dream continued. I was no longer in my first grade classroom, but now I was in my house, and we had just moved here. I was actually going further back in time now, but not by much...maybe only by a few months. I decided to explore the neighborhood, and look at how it was before they added on so many more houses. I went to the back, where there is now a whole new section of houses. It was a dark place, and it kind of looked like a maze. I thought that was weird, because it was supposed to be a huge field. This is the first time in this dream that I become lucid. I made some huge boots appear on my bare feet so I didn't step on any nails or sharp rocks. Then, when I started to explore, I wanted my dream pet to appear. But I think I got too excited that I was lucid, and I woke up. I turned over and went back to sleep, and continued on with the dream. Now, I'm with my dad and brother, who are exploring the past with me. We are in a pizza place, and all these younger children are working there. I wanted to get some sort of pizza that was covered in chocolate and sprinkles, but I didn't get the chance...my dad had already ordered for me. I got up there and one little kid asked me if I had a coupon, and I said "No...I don't. We already ordered." and he said ok. Then we find a place to sit, and start to eat. Then, an error message type things pops up and everything freezes. I told my dad it was because nothing interesting had happened in awhile so we were going to be taken somewhere else. And so we are. We're now in the car, but my brother is gone. It's just me and my dad. He's driving, and I'm sitting in the back seat with my cellphone. My dad tells me I should text message my friend Jake, and I told him that it was very unlikely that he would have a cellphone at all right now, seeing as it's 1995. We were going through this place called Medical Park that has all these doctor's offices and such (this is a real place by the way, lol), and we found my old pediatric doctor's office. We went in and there was a young girl with white hair sitting behind the counter, that looked like a younger version of my friend Caitlin (minus the white hair), but the woman next to her called her Jennifer. I saw my old doctor, but he looked a lot different. Then we all sat down in a waiting room. My mom and brother are now here as well. And here is where I become lucid yet again. I get up and look around, and decide to summon my dream pet. I say in my head "Dream pet come forth!" but nothing happens. Then I say it out loud, and turn around and there's this little glass white tiger with red eyes sitting on a table. Then I say "Come tiger" and it moves a little, but then my stupid cellphone woke me up. So two melatonin=interesting, vivid, and lucid dreams. Pretty neat. And if you're wondering about this dream pet buisininess, I'm trying to summon a dream pet like CheshireMischief (who is a memeber of this forum). He posted about it in Dream Control, if you're curious.

Congrats on the LD's. They will get longer with more practice. I was thinking about trying the dream pet thing too, calling for any potential pet to appear just to see what my mind conjurs up. I hope it isn't a kitten, I have too many regular dreams about kittens. I'd prefer something like a griffon or three headed dragon or even a freaky looking mutant person. Anything but a kitten! Nice batch of dreams. Do keep journalling.

I'm having trouble recalling a lot from last night...I know I had 4 dreams though. The first one was of me talking on the phone to my most recent ex (this guy broke up with me Thursday in waking life... ). I was sitting on my bed and it was night time....very dark in my room. I remember picturing a beautiful pink sunset over the ocean with a dolphin jumping from the water. And I said to him "You mean you don't consider us a couple? I just like you so much I'm so afraid to lose you..." and then silence on the other line...and I woke up. That dream was full of intense emotion that didn't go away upon waking... Second one I really can only remember me trying to get some kind of book. I know it had my ex in it too. The third one I remember the most of. I was in a gymnastics studio, and it was huge. It was some sort of summer class I think. I only saw a few people there I knew though. Then we were all partnered up and I was paired with some old woman. We all had flags like color guard girls (the flag girls in the marching band). We had to do this routine to this song that I played once in an honor band. I kept messing it up and the old woman kept running to the other side of the room to finish the routine, which she wasn't supposed to do. Then I remember there was a girl getting sick, and two employees helped her off. While they were carrying her off, she heaved a little on the mat, and I gagged. The instructor, who was a guy, went to someone and asked them to get a rag. Then we continued working on the routine, which I could never get right. In the last one, we were doing something with choir. We were singing a concert then doing this dance show. We finished that and we were in a hotel...a really big hotel. I remember my room number being 547. I rode the elevator down to the first floor, and it was a very fast elevator, so I sat down in a fetal position inside of it. Then, I only remember random things for awhile. Then I remember one of my friends, Chris, had taken a lot of money from this jerk guy...and this jerk guy went to me asking about it, and I said I didn't know what he was talking about (we are now in my hotel room). He wanted me to get him a wallet, and I told him that I would when we went to Six Flags the next day. I laid down on the floor with him and just talked to him, but my mouth kept filling up with candle wax, so I had to get up and spit it out. And that's all I remember. My recall really sucks right now...
