Wow, I made this thread months ago and I totally forgot about it...anywho, I didn't have any dreams that I felt were epic enough for the first entry, and school+work kept me from having the motivation to complete any tasks....until now.

Chocolate Factory!
LD: A man was driving my brother and I home. It was already getting dark out, so I figured it was pretty late. I remember my brother said something gross, and the man up front glared at us, the pointed to the seat next to him--a young boy peered around the seat. Err, oops. Oh well. We got to the house, and the guy dropped us off out front. My brother started heading inside, but I started to think about where we were and realized that this was a dream. I told the man he might want to distract his kid, and that I was just going to go somewhere close by so I didn't need a ride.
I jumped up and started flying down the street, figuring I'd know my way around town. But after only a block or two, I didn't recognize any of the condos and apartment buildings. Hmm.* I turned around the corner. And then I saw it. A big white building with a colorful sign that read "Chocolate Factory."
The first thing I noticed was a large white counter with a kind of soda fountain which poured our different kinds of slushies. There was already a rainbow of cups on the counter, begging to be consumed. I went straight for them. I drank the blue, the red, the purple. All just like the good stuff I used to get at Dairy Queen as a kid. Ahhh, so delicious. Then I saw several giant lolipops hanging on the wall beside the counter. I grabbed a couple and tasted those, too. Less tangy than the drinks, and more sugary. Mmm.
This looked kind of like a lobby, because there wasn't anything else edible in the room. But at the other end, there were some doors that looked kind of like hospital doors. I went up to them, and I began to visualize the scene I wanted, of a giant room full of candy. After doing this for a minute, I crossed my fingers and went through.
The room wasn't identical to what I was aiming for, but it had most of the elements from the scene I was thinking of. It was a large room with a high ceiling, there were candy trees, giant mushrooms and all kinds of strange-looking, enormous candylike things everywhere, with a small path twisting around and a few hallways at the other end going elsewhere.
I didn't know how long I would have, so I knew I had to make the most of this. Honestly, I was shoveling so many things in my mouth that I don't even remember most of the things I tried. I think among the first were some giant candy fish and sushi, like a starfish the size of a dinner plate. There were two kinds of mushrooms I tried. One had big spots which were made of cream that I tried. The other kind was smaller and had a semisweet spongy taste. I looked around for the bouncy balls, since I always wondered if they had any sort of juice in them. I found a couple in a tiny volleyball court with brown sugar instead of sand. The balls were coated in sugar, but the inside was marshmellow, like giant peeps.
Eventually I wandered out of the big room and found another room with several carnival-like games; one in which you had to climb giant Liquorice ropes, and the walls had different colored stripes with different flavors. I vaguely remember the other rooms, but not much because they didn't really have anything edible or interesting. In fact, the farther I went the less interesting things were--more and more rooms were filled with equipment, computers, or clothes. I decided to double back and I eventually ended up back in the lobby, where I tried to drink more of the slushies. Only now, I'd been eating and tasting sweet things for probably a half hour, and when I drank more of the super sweet slushies, I started to feel very sick to my stomach. I grabbed an empty cup and found a water cooler. I wondered if this would really help since it wasn't real water, but then I remembered that I was already feeling sick from candy that wasn't real either, so I drank it anyway. It didn't help much, so I wandered back over to the big doors, where a woman there suggested I heal myself. I told her that I would, but I just didn't know how to visualize an upset stomach getting better. She agreed, and left me alone.
I decided I was pretty much done tasting things, but I was already forgetting about all the things I'd tried since there were so many and I was in a bit of a frenzy. I went through the doors and looked around more, trying to retrace my steps and commit some of the things to memory.
I went back through the hallways, twisting and wandering through more and more rooms, until I ended up in a room full of clothes along all the walls.
