So I had a pretty messed up dream this morning. In it, I had flashbacks, me remembering things, and in the dream (which i thought was real life) I remembering things that I thought were "real life." But in the dream I was questioning myself, "Like, wait, maybe that was just a dream that I'm now thinking of as a memory."
When I woke up and remembered this, I recognized the flashbacks. I had dreamed them ages ago, but hadn't thought of them at all since. It made me realize that the brain obviously has an amazing memory hidden behind what we actually consciously remember. The flashbacks were dreams I know I've had before, but if someone had asked me about them, I probably wouldn't have remembered, until now, where I can remember the entire dream, not just what I saw in the flashbacks.
If anyone else has had dreams like this, I'd love to hear about them. Here's the dream that I had. The first large blue paragraph isnt that important, but I'm including the whole dream so I dont accidentally leave out anything important.

Flashbacks from other dreams (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

this text means its a flashback
This dream is extremely long. There were many points when I should have become lucid, but didnt. Also, the last few parts (after the bitch customer) are something I think I've dreamed of before.


I'm at work. Jackie, Robyn, and one of the managers (not sure who) are there. I'm at the register, the middle one. A lady comes up with a lot of stuff and i begin ringing her out. I hjad some price modifies and some things that she needed to sign for some reason, but we couldnt find a working pen, and she was getting really pissed. Finally we found a pen. She asked for 2 scratch tickets, they both have names that sound like a casino. I'm about to rip the first one when she says "no, i only want the other one." I'm getting pissed, so i point at the other and say "this? just this?" "ya" so i grab her that one, and notice that the design on it is glittery, more glittery than than the other one, and I think that maybe I will buy one after work. I hand it to her, type it in, and check her out. As the receipt is printing, I realize that I charged her $2 for the ticket instead of one. She is really pissed and doesnt wanna take the time to do a return, so she leave, and I have an extra dollar in my drawer. i think "Cool, now i can get a lottery ticket with this money." Then I gathered up all the pens and tested them to see if they worked. I also tested a pencil. (showing that dreams=no logic, or it could have been from a MLIA I read baout someone testting a pencil)
i then went to the back room. This is the part that feels familiar, Like I've dreamed about this situation. In the back room I saw a door that I never noticed before. (This door is actually there, i discovered it about a week ago.) I wondered what was back there. Then I remembered when I first started working at rite aid, Mrs. E was manager and I worked with Justin and Jared E a lot. We had to go into this room to drop off the news papers and soda for some reason. I wondered why none of them work there anymore. (all of this was seen as flashback. I think that I've had this "flash back" as a dream before) Back to "the present":
I open the dream to go to the back room. as I step inside, I remember that theres some cool stuff in here. another "flashback (to the other dream)": There was somethign going on, not sure what, but it was every man for himself. In this room I found army gear and I handled myself well in the situation. End flashback.
I wonder if all of this actually happened, or if I was just dreaming.
I wake up in SP. Try to move, can't. Fall back asleep.
I'm still in the room.
Wake up in SP again. Think "this would be a great time to get lucid." I lay in bed thinking "I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming." Fall back askeep. I'm not lucid.
I'm still in the room, but there are people this time. I'm sitting on the floor, I cant move. Finally I manage to stand up. A girl asks "What was that?" I reply "That was just sleep paralysis, it happens to me a lot." She says "You should do that again." I say "I'm not sure if i can."
I wake up again in sleep paralysis. Being half asleep, I decide that trying to get lucid just isnt working, but I'm in a really uncomfortable position. I try really hard to move. Finally, and for the first ever, I'm able to break out of sleep paralysis, roll over, and fall back asleep.
I'm outside, on School Street near Mc. Donalds. Seems like the entire town came out to see something. I have a feeling its something bad. I'm standing on the highway over pass looking down at School Street. I hear motorcycles in the distance, hundreds of them. The motor cycles drive under the highway, and suddenly my position has changed and I am watching from Advanced auto Parts. It is dark out, but the bikes dont have their lights on. I see Razz and mention this to her. She finds it strange too. But we know that these bikers are no good, So i get all brave and tell them to get out. I'm sure what they reply, but basically no.Then for some reason they are chasing me, Brittany, her bf, and Sam. Sam and I are on motorcycles, and we out run the guys. But we driver off of a bridge. im falling, looking for somewhere to land. Theres a highway, a river, and a train. I know that if I try to land on the ground I will die. I can see that the water is deep enough, so I yell to Sam "land in the water" and we do. We are ok. then I say "my ipods broken" and take it out of my pocket, and it is broken. Next thing I know I see myself in 3rd person. i'm a funny looking guy. I'm looking out of a window. Then I wake up.
I think that the last time I dreamed about the back room, when it gave the necessary equipment to survive w/e was going on, i think that what was going on then was also a biker gang invasion.
