(It's pretty boring except for maybe the end.)

So I'm playing some strategy game similar to warcraft three, and it's a 3v3 match of Brits vs. Italians. I'm with the Brits, although I'm not British. Anyways, everything I had has been completely destroyed except for 2 peons. One of them is trapped in this area surrounded by rocks, and I have him build two farms so that I can build units. With the other one, I build a barracks and start making a bunch of different soldiers. An enemy sees me though, and sends an army to wipe me out. One of my allies comes though, and holds them off. Meanwhile, it looks like we're actually winning the game somehow, and we're pushing back the Italians. After a while, my building gets destroyed or something and I have to move my units elsewhere. Soon after, my point of view changes to first person. It's night time, and I'm in a newly settled Native American camp/village. There's only like one building, and it suddenly catches fire. I yell, but no one seems to care about what's going on. I go to a huge dinner table that's set up outside, where everyone is eating. My dad is there at the head of the table, and I start screaming at him, telling him that we can't just let everything burn. He doesn't want to help, and I walk off to an empty spot at the table, get on my knees and start crying, saying that we've grown decadent, that all we do now is eat without working and that we'll soon run out of food and die. Eventually, a long while after, a few people get up and lazily start putting out the fire with buckets of water.

Not much happens in this dream. Basically, I'm at my grandparents' house, and I stand around in a room for a while, then tell the people who are there that I'm gonna go take a shower. I walk down the corridor, and into a large room. There's a shower there just in the middle of the room, but relatives keep popping up everywhere and talking to me for long periods of time, and I'm getting frustrated because I can't take my shower. I don't think I ever did.

I'm playing cards with my family, and for a while everything goes smoothly, although I have a crappy hand. Suddenly though, I end up having like 80 cards in my hand, and all the cards I need to be pretty much sure of winning. Something happens however, and I end up not being able to use any of the good cards. I start getting EXTREMELY pissed, basicaly insulting everyone and saying that they suck at this game, that I'm a much better player.
I sure am an asshole in some dreams.

DFF (Dream From France)
Length: 1-2 minutes

I'm in the countryside, in a car that my mom is driving. I think we're pretty much off-road, and there's no sign of any other cars around. We drive around for a while, and then the car goes speeding off a cliff that acts a sort of ramp. The car goes flying in a huge jump, and I'm screaming and telling my mom that she's insane. She tells me that in France they do much larger jumps and go up to 1-2 miles further than we did. We end up going to a restaurant, and I'm not sure if we eat there or not but we leave soon after. For some reason though, we come back, and are told that it is closing soon. I order a strawberry dessert, and that's it.

Alright, time to type up one of the weird lucids I had in France...

I'm in a skyscraper, for some reason it's supposed to be an airport. I immediately "know" that I am dreaming, but suddenly dozens of people come and start harassing me, pretending to be DGs. I start walking quickly away, but they start running towards me. I go past rows of lockers, and eventually get to the windows. I'm basically surrounded by people, and I start asking them a whole bunch of questions, (I don't really remember doing this; my notes read: ask questions: why, is it real, etc.). I eventually say something like "What's going on?" A girl in front of me starts taking off her clothes and says, "This is what...", and the people start moving in on me. I run forward and dive through the window. I land on the ground, unhurt. I see a helicopter up the street, and start running towards it. The DG impersonators or whatever are close behind me. I "will" myself to run faster, and do a huge jump towards the helicopter, but realize someone's in it and it's already taking off. To my left, I see this weird hybrid of a biplane and a helicopter. I go to it, but I somehow get in upside down in the seat, and I'm sort of stuck like that. I manage to start up the plane though, and it starts moving. It's going faster and faster, but I realize that someone is climbing onto it from the back. I grab this sort of large canister that says Nitrogen on it, and whack him with it. It looks like it really hurt him, he flies back a bit, and I think he's bleeding. He moves forward, I hit him one more time and he falls off the plane. I manage to pull backwards on the joystick and the plane takes off, but I wake up soon after.




Now this was strange, too bad I don't believe in premonitory dreams because it would've been a candidate. I had this dream the night before the foiled terrorist bombings in the UK.

I'm in an airport with my mom, and we're just standing there for a while, with no one around. She tells me to look out the window, at the primary school that's part of the airport. I look, and suddenly it explodes. I'm really afraid, and I see a bunch of arab men with AKs run up some stairs and see us. My mom makes a run for it, but I feel as if doing that will get us killed, so I don't move. She makes it to safety, because they hesitate to shoot at her, mainly one bearded guy. They aim their guns at me, and I realize how screwed I am. I don't move, but start yelling out "Allah protect me!", not as much out of belief as out of an attempt to make them think I'm on their "side". The bearded guy is still hesitating, and just won't shoot me. That's about all I remember.

Last night was confusing and weird. I don't know exactly what happened, but I woke up thinking I had had two LDs, but I think I fell asleep again, and now I don't really remember much at all from them. It seems more like it was just one dream, and I might've been lucid, but I'm not positive, maybe just "dreaming of being lucid", because I did some kinda weird stuff. It's kind of a 50/50, because at some points it sounds like I really am aware I'm dreaming, and I did wake up with that feeling, so I'll put it as a lucid dream. I guess I just lost lucidity at certain moments.

I'm at my grandparents' house in France, and, apparently, I "know" I'm dreaming. The first thing I remember is being near the pool, and flying up onto the terrace and into the house. As I walk in, I see a bed and I'm going to sit on it, but there's a rat head or something on it. I'm a bit freaked out, but try to tell myself it isnt actually 'there'. I end up downstairs, and I realize that it's dark outside once again, like in many of my dreams and some of my LDs. Here, things are really strange. There are like two people there, and for some reason they tell me to get into a box/coffin, telling me that if I do it'll be daytime outside. They give some explanation, saying something like: Since when you're in the light, the environment becomes dark, if you go in the dark, there will be light again and it will be the middle of the day. I get in the box, and they move it around a little. When I get it, I can see the sun shining. The next thing I remember (and this is where the supposed second dream would have started) is being in a street. I fly up, and land in a grass field. I mess around with levitating, and I see a dog. I go up to it, and try to make it float up. However hard I try though, nothing happens. And that's all I remember.

I'm having some big dinner/banquet with my family, and we're basically outside in some estate, surrounded by trees. After a while, I leave the table, bored. I see a soccer ball, and try to do a special trick with it. After a while, my brother comes and (intentionally or not) he kicks the ball far away. I go down a hill, and onto a road to pick it up. A car is coming just as I get on the road, so I pick up the ball quickly and head back. I see my mom and brother on top of the hill, and he's trying to tell me something, moving his finger in a circle. He yells and says that I should "Go around". I understand exactly what he means, which is that I should just turn around because we're parked close to where I am and we're going to leave. I do so, and start walking.

I'm in the future, although at first glance nothing is very different. I think I'm eating dinner again (pho soup)...and I'm not exactly sure what happens because of the illegible writing on my notes... However, I end up in a sort of meeting room, in front of a man who's a governor or something like that. The only other person I remember being in the room is my dad, who occasionally agrees with or adds something to what I'm saying. The guy seems to be one of the people responsible for the situation the world is in. Basically, I think what's going on is that a small group of aristocrats and intellectuals are dominating everything and all the money is going to them, while the vast majority of the population is starving or poor. I start a whole tirade on the subject, and I give an example like this, although it's a bit strange: "Say you take 100% of the total wealth. You give 80% to the already rich and intelligent, and 20% to those who are poor and hungry. What do you get? A population that's starving, angry, and turning to criminals." My dad keeps agreeing, and suddenly I think the guy turns into, or at least has the voice of, my aunt asking something like: "Are you sure you had enough to eat? It doesn't look like you ate much..."

I'm in physics class, and the teacher and part of the class, including me, is on a terrace outside the classroom. We're getting quizzed on a bunch of stuff, and we have to yell so that the other people can hear us through the window to the classroom. After a while, I hear the sound of a chainsaw (this was happening in real life and bled into the dream) and it's getting so loud that we have to scream even louder. Eventually though, I actually get woken up by it.

Alright, this is weird and hard to explain, so prepare to be confused if you read this.
I start out playing a bonus level of the old Genesis game Sonic & Knuckles, and my dad is commenting, although I can't see him because my entire field of vision is the game. I'm playing really badly, but my dad tells me that I can still win. Basically, in the game, you have to use these sort of energy balls to fly up a room, before this laser beam catches up with you.


Like that. Anyways, everything suddenly morphs, and I'm in this sort of giant palace. Everything is much bigger than me, and there is water slowly flooding the room and I have to keep getting to higher ground. For some reason, I'm this guy, and I'm with two or three friends. We climb up these large blocks, and we're trying to get stuff from treasure chests along the way. I'm not very sure what happens, but we end up in a very large room, but everything is human-sized. There's a guy there behind a counter who makes us this weird offer, saying that he can give us a blessing that will make us faster, stronger, etc. My friends tell me it's a trap because it's too good to not have a catch. We back away from him, and we go to one end of the room. We walk through a short corridor, and get to this sort of portal. They're about to go in it, but I tell them that we did that last time, rather than checking for more possible treasure in the palace. We end up in a large bathroom, which has 3 different sections. We each take one, and for some reason I already know that there are treasure chests behind stalls. Go figure.

Note: For some reason, I know exactly what time it is (Dream time) at certain points in the dream, although I don't remember there being a clock.
I'm walking in the street, and I have a soccer ball with me because apparently I'm on my way to practice something. While I'm walking though, I see a small basketball roll towards me, and realize that a girl who lives nearby was the one who dropped it. I bring it back to her, and she starts talking to me. I want to leave, but she keeps talking and tells me to come in. I end up spending two "hours" there, until I think 8 PM. I realize that I'm horribly late for something, I think having to do with my mom who's apparently in another city. I finally leave, and I take a bus or something. I end up inside the city of Marseille, France, at 10 PM, in a deserted-looking area with walls covered in graffitti. That's about all I remember, except for a vague memory of seeing my mom and her asking where the heck I was.

This one's very confusing as well, I'll try to explain as best I can..
It's another of those dreams based on the movie Saw. This time, I'm tied to a chair in a metal room, I think somewhere in Mexico, almost like a sort of prison carved into a cliff, hanging over a large body of water. I remember thinking to myself that Jigsaw's actually going to different countries now to do his 'business', and that it'll be impossible to catch him now. There's a woman elsewhere in the room, I think with her arms tied to the ceiling by a chain. Jigsaw's also there (no mask on), watching us. I don't think we even have an opportunity to save ourselves like in the movies. We somehow manage to call help, and there's a woman who starts knocking at the door, although she's not sure if we're in there or not. I manage to grab a large back and start hitting the wall with it to make noise. The woman starts trying different keys in the lock quickly, and Jigsaw basically starts trying to kill me. I start rolling the chair around in circles so he can't get to me, but eventually it gets stuck against a metal bar. He starts trying to uh... eat me... while I fight him back and the other person is telling me something, although I don't remember exactly what. I manage to get free of the chair, and I start smacking Jigsaw with the book I have.
The woman at the door manages to get in, and the other one, freed somehow, starts attacking Jigsaw, basically clawing him with her nails and leaving large scars. I think of trying this too because it seems damn effective, but I realize my nails aren&#39;t long enough. I don&#39;t know what happens exactly, but there ends up being a large hole in the wall, and Jigsaw, the woman who was in the room, and I end up literally flying out, but I can&#39;t control it. We&#39;re like hanging onto one another to stop from falling, and still fighting at the same time. Jigsaw is above me, and this time he&#39;s the one who "claws" into my back, and it felt VERY realistic and painful. We manage to grab him though and throw him down though, and he falls into the water below. The woman disappears, and I land in the jungle nearby. *SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN&#39;T SEEN SAW II* As I walk forward, I see a large sort of newsvan, but suddenly I see that Jigsaw&#39;s new &#39;assistant&#39;, Amanda, is there. I basically yell out loud something like: "Oh, I&#39;m fucked&#33;" I think to myself that she&#39;s going to kill me, and my reasoning is strange. I say to myself that since I watched the preview for Saw III and saw her in it, and she hasn&#39;t appeared in the "movie" (= what has been happening so far in the dream) until now, that she&#39;s here to kill me. <Note: Actually, this might have been before I saw her, I&#39;m not sure.>
I&#39;m waiting to die, but instead, she tells me that I&#39;ve passed the test, and that I can go now. I go into the newsvan, and I find a reporter there who&#39;s ready for me to tell everything that happened, and I start doing so.



Wheewww... Not exactly very fun to read are they?

Another interesting night, had a dream that turned into an LD, but I wasn&#39;t really in control for very long, and it ended up being a really low level lucid, I might&#39;ve totally lost lucidity. There&#39;s some more dreams too, although I don&#39;t remember much from them...

It&#39;s the end of the world&#33;&#33; Yep, for some reason, the earth is about to explode. I&#39;m in a sort of hangar bay, and I see these sort of blue explosions far away, outside. There&#39;s this very weird thing in front of me, basically a huge box open on one side, with some stuff scattered inside it. I&#39;m with a bunch of friends, and we&#39;re all trying to get in, but there&#39;s barely enough room. For some reason, we can&#39;t take out the stuff that&#39;s inside, it&#39;s like attached to the floor. Now in the dream I have a memory of going in the ship once before, not sure if I actually did earlier in the dream or generated that memory, but I remember being in a horrible spot and squashed against a wall. This time I rush and get in first, and I&#39;m lying down near a game console, a definite plus. That&#39;s all I recall from that one.

I&#39;m with some people I know, and we just walk around for a while. We get to a soccer field, and we see some little kids practicing. We walk past the coach, and ask if we can sit down and watch since we don&#39;t have anything to do. He says yes, and we walk off the field and sit. I guess we don&#39;t pay attention for a while, because when we look back, we see this like gigantic golden halfpipe on the field, and the kids are playing on it, somehow gliding up and down it easily. We just look for a while.

All I really remember from this is being in a city, and going around in a car, with a bunch of different people. I think one of them was german, a general or something. I think we&#39;re just visiting different places, but suddenly a girl in the back of the car looks very sick. We end up getting her out of the car, and have to lie her down in the street. Soon after, she stops breathing and dies. I stand over her, horrified, and think to myself that now I know what it&#39;s like to see someone die.

I&#39;m in a house similar to my grandmother&#39;s in France, and apparently this is happening during Nazi occupation. I&#39;m with two people, and we&#39;re not Jewish, or part of any of the persecuted minorities, and we haven&#39;t really done anything, but we&#39;re terrified because we know they&#39;re searching for us and coming here. We hear something, and we look frantically for a place to hide. One guy runs into a room, and the other, I think an aged man, stays with me. He tells me we have to hide in the bathroom, and I ask him why we don&#39;t go into the basement, which is a much better spot. He doesn&#39;t really explain, and we run into the bathroom. We have basically the worst hiding spot ever: In a corner, right next to the door, hunched under a sheet. I realize we left the lights on, and I say so, but the man says it&#39;s too late now, and that we run even more risk if we turn them off. We try to look through the doorway to see if someones coming, and we hear a knock. Through some weird reflections on the wall, we try to see who it is. The door opens, and we hear a German officer come in, with his small son. He walks closer and closer, I think calling for anyone who could be in the house. He walks close to the doorway, and tells his kid to check the bathroom. He sees, and we beg him with signs to not say anything. He hesitates, but doesn&#39;t say anything. The officer is suspicious though, and he looks inside on his way out. He yells out, seeing us, both in surprise/anger directed at us and disappointment at his son. He takes out his gun, and starts to shoot. The man next to me is killed instantly. I make a run for it, slide under the officer somehow, and ran for the door.
I make it outside, jump onto the car, and from there make a huge jump over the gate. The landing is a bit rough and I might&#39;ve hurt myself a bit, but I keep running. I eventually get to the edge of a huge cliff. Like any sane person, I jump. This is a bit hard to explain, but I&#39;m perfectly convinced of my chances of survival. Using this weird technique/glitch that exists in Half-Life 1 that lets you fall from extreme heights, I stay very close to the edge of the cliff, and land safely. I see a woman driving by in an old car, and I beg her to stop. She does, and I get in. For some reason, she&#39;s in the back right seat, but the car is still being driven. Along the way though, I realize that I&#39;m dreaming.
We end up in a sort of square in England at night. I give the girl a kiss, and get out of the car. For a while, I just look at my hands, feel my hair, and see how I look. When I look down though, part of my body has turned blue. The german guy who wanted to kill me earlier appears, taunting me. I focus, and turn my body back to normal color. However, he warps all the colors around me once again. We end up in a sort of struggle, and he shows me a set of stamps, with pictures of the things around us on them. He removes one, and the image fades, leaving only white. He keeps doing this, and when I try to it doesn&#39;t work. However, he ends up telling me that it only works if you remove the stamp. For some reason, this is really significant to me, and I tell him that that&#39;s why I&#39;m the one who&#39;s really in control, because he has to follow a special procedure to do something. Soon after, he disappears. It&#39;s really hot, and all the people around me want to go into this sort of bar which has a bunch of air conditioning machines. They all come up to me, and ask me if they can go in. I say yes, and go in as well. I see a fridge, and grab a bottle of raspberry juice, although it actually said "Raspberry Schnapps". It tastes pretty good, and I walk out. I&#39;m on some sort of long plank between windows, and I walk to another place. At the window, I see some people drinking. They call it Dwarven Beer, and I go to the table and ask to taste it. The guy hands me the cup, but limits how much I take. After tasting it, everything goes kinda weird. I have several sort of blank outs, where it feels almost like I&#39;m waking up, but stay asleep and resume the dream. I have this constant display of my body temperature, and it&#39;s showing at around 80 degrees. Although that&#39;s really, really low I think to myself that that&#39;s a pretty high temperature, and that the heat is causing these blank outs. Lucidity is pretty much lost by now, except maybe in this next moment. The bar morphs into a bus, with the ceiling open and the windows broken. Wanting to lower the temperature, I yell out: "Freeze&#33;" and put my hand up. A layer of ice begins to fill the opening in the ceiling, and icy windows appear as well. However, while the ice is forming, everything suddenly stops. I try again, and it works. After this, basically all lucidity is lost. This giant goddess appears, or at least her face. She has a cloth covering her mouth and nose, a small scar on the side of her face, and long, flowing hair. She talks about a spiritual journey I have to take. I end up in a sort of weird game, collecting rings, and I think to myself vaguely that I&#39;m wasting lucid dream time, but do nothing about it, and I&#39;m not really conscious that I&#39;m dreaming. I remember something like wanting to take a screenshot to post it on here. That&#39;s about all that happens before I wake up, I just play through a level of the game, as a sort of floating worm/fish thing that can grow and shrink somewhat.
Note: I remember at various points in the LD trying certain voice commands and trying to make things appear, but I don&#39;t rememeber what and at precisely which moments.

Another LD&#33; Not much happened in it, and since I slept more after I woke up from it, recall of details is a bit fuzzy, but I think for a while it was a pretty high level LD. There&#39;s also another dream I remember, although it&#39;s kinda weird and short.

I&#39;m on the computer, and I open some sort of animation program. It&#39;s pretty strange, you basically get 3 different scenes that you can create, each with it&#39;s own sound layer for making the characters&#39; voices. In each scene, the program automatically distorts your voice or whatever sound you put in a certain way. You don&#39;t really have to draw anything, because there are a couple hundred pre-drawn backgrounds and characters. The only problem, I realize, is that you can&#39;t actually animate anything, so everything is static. I come up with an idea that at the time I think is awesome and will be hilarious: Beavis and Butthead go to Rwanda. I start doing a bunch of stuff, but in the end, the actual characters of Beavis and Butthead are only in the last scene. For some reason, I can&#39;t seem to find the predrawn versions in the first and second ones. After that, I don&#39;t remember anything in great detail, just trying different stuff, and getting a bit frustrated. I think I might&#39;ve ended up scrapping it all.

I&#39;m in the middle of a narrow street, kind of similar in style to the streets of Venice. As soon as the dream starts, I realize that I&#39;m dreaming. Next to me are a bunch of friends, but they&#39;re busy looking and a bunch of papers and books. I think they say something to me like: "Aren&#39;t you going to study for the physics/math test?" I answer that I don&#39;t need to, and go into a small area in front of me where there are some tables and chairs. For a long time, I just stand and focus on staying conscious, and really acknowledging that I&#39;m in a dream. After that, I turn around and go back towards my friends. They tell me that they&#39;re studying probabilities and estimation. I look down at their paper, and I don&#39;t remember what I read very well, because I think I had some trouble. The one thing I remember very clearly though, was at the center of the paper, written in blue ink, circled and underlined, was the number 23 (had to with a conversation in chat I had had that night). Shortly after, I woke up.

4:30 AM, and it&#39;s WBTB time... I can recall one dream from what I&#39;ve slept so far, and it&#39;s what I woke up from a little bit before I had set my alarm. Here it is, and I&#39;ll write down one or two dreams I had in France.

It&#39;s the middle of the night, and I am HUNGRY. It seems like I&#39;m well prepared for this, like I was expecting it. I&#39;ve got this big sandwich on me and this delicious chestnut cream dessert I had frequently while in France. I think that I&#39;m in my room, but it&#39;s pretty different. It&#39;s not at the same place in the house, and one of my brothers is there, working on a laptop. I try not to get noticed, but it doesn&#39;t seem too hard. I devour the sandwich, and then the chestnut cream. What I don&#39;t realize though, is that in the dark I&#39;ve spilled a ton of it everywhere on the bed. When I finally see it, I&#39;m really panicked. I try frantically to clean it up, and it mostly goes away, but not completely. I think my bro starts noticing something, but I pretend to be asleep for a few moments. After that, I seem to forget about cleaning everything up, and just get up. I think I&#39;m still hungry, and might&#39;ve started drinking a lot of water. After that, I walk out of the room, going for the kitchen. I see in the darkness that my other brother is there though, so I reroute to the bathroom, and that&#39;s when I wake up (Not hungry or thirsty).

I&#39;m with three good friends, and we&#39;re on a French TV show, or at least someting similar to a real one. All four of us are on the same time, competing against a LOT of other teams. Basically it&#39;s a race to get to these different spots where there are different tiles, each with a symbol on them. However, each tile is actually supposed to represent a certain number, and at each spot a different number puzzle has to be solved. My job in the team is simple and weird: I hold a huge rocket launcher, and I&#39;m supposed to use it to hit the switch that comes out when a puzzle is solved. Normally I was supposed to just shoot it, but instead I push it with the rocket launcher, not wanting to cause a huge mess. We start running to the next place, with other teams close behind. We get there, and the puzzle is at the end of a hedge maze. We get there, and realize that we need a key to access it. There&#39;s two places we didn&#39;t check yet, so two of us wait there, one goes in the first one and I go in the other one. As I start running though, I&#39;m moving really slowly, not like in those dreams where people say that it&#39;s like they&#39;re running underwater, but it just feels like I&#39;m tired and lethargic. Before I can get too far, I hear my friend calling my name. I turn around, and he&#39;s got a big bag to which the key is tied. We take a while to finish the puzzle, although I have no clue how they go about figuring it out. At this point, we&#39;re way ahead of the others, who haven&#39;t even started their puzzle. We start running, and the new objective is to get to a city, where we will have to get a specialty of the region. We go across a bridge, and see a road. We ask a person in a car if he/she can take us where we&#39;re going, and he/she looked kinda pissed, but somehow fit all four of us in what looked a two-seater truck. We arrive at the city shortly after, and immediately someone asks me if I want this thing called Altí (the food we&#39;ve been looking for). The problem is though, that we have no currency for that area, only american dollars. I make a trade, giving a couple bucks for the food, and end up with 5 euros left. I give to my brother, who I guess is now part of the team. He had been in a cafeteria, trying to bargain with people to get the same thing as me. I&#39;m not sure he uses it though, continuing to barter as a matter of honor.

This dream was pretty weird, it&#39;s hard to remember what happened in detail. I&#39;m in this weird place, I guess it was on a space ship, and I think Mel Gibson is there too. There&#39;s this huge alien at one end of the room, and I end up caught in it&#39;s tentacles. There&#39;s another different type of alien next to it, and it gets killed by someone with a machete (not sure if it was Mel or not, either it was or he had vanished at that point). However, that person died in the process. With no hope of rescue, I see the machete on the ground near the body, and grab it. I stab the alien in its (only?) eye, and it dies. Soon after, I know that whoever was behind this is going to show himself, and that I&#39;ll have only once chance to kill him. There&#39;s another room nearby, for generators or something. I put some kind of recorder in there, and hide back in the first room. The guy appears, and he looks basically human, except he&#39;s in this weird uniform and you can&#39;t see his face. The recording plays its sound, and he starts going toward the room. I think I&#39;ve got him in my trap, but just as I&#39;m about to get him from behind, he turns around, and tells me he knew I was there. I might&#39;ve woken up after that, to avoid what would have probably been an unfortunate asswhooping.



EDIT: Well, I forgot about the garbagemen. I didn&#39;t get a lucid dream, and it took me a long time to fall asleep, they woke me up just when I was falling asleep. The only thing I remember from after I went back to bed is this short dream, the first dream I&#39;ve ever had where one of my teeth fall out, although those are common.

I&#39;m at home, but I&#39;m not really sure where, maybe in my room. I&#39;m standing there for a while, feeling around at a tooth in my mouth. I accidentally push it kinda hard, and it gets loose. I&#39;m wondering what&#39;s going on, and thinking that this can&#39;t be good. I&#39;m worried about what&#39;ll happen if it falls out, but I don&#39;t really have a choice because I can&#39;t just leave it like that. It hurts a bit, but most of the pain is numbed. I think my mom is nearby, and I tell her briefly about it. Shortly after, I twist the tooth loose, but there&#39;s a nerve or something still holding it. Thankfully, I don&#39;t feel anything at all anymore, and I&#39;m not sure how (I think I might&#39;ve bit through it, although that would be really hard to do normally), but I manage to cut it. And that&#39;s basically it.

#445:
I&#39;m dead and I&#39;ve become a ghost, after a car accident I think. I can go through walls and all that basic stuff, but I can still interact with the world in certain ways. I go into an alley, and I see a US war veteran there on the ground, not sure if he was asking for cash or not. People start coming towards him, and the alley morphs into a sort of diner. The people can&#39;t see me, but I think they feel my presence or something, or at least they know something weird is going on. One of the things I can do is write, so I write a message to them on a paper. They don&#39;t seem too surprised that I&#39;m a ghost or anything. Soon after though, some suspicious looking guys come in, looking for me. I&#39;m afraid they&#39;ll find me for some reason, although I&#39;m not sure who they are. I tell the people not to say anything about me, and they don&#39;t, while I go through the side wall and out into the street. I&#39;m sort of lost, looking for a street to get to some store. I&#39;m also trying to get to a certain house, mine I guess. I see this one house that&#39;s sort of isolated from the others. I go through the gate, and try to go through a wall into the house. However, there&#39;s this force that keeps me from entering like that. I have to use the door, and I see a girl inside, who can see me. She says something that I don&#39;t really remembering, involving cash, 250 bucks I think. I leave the house, and I notice something weird about the bushes, and also about a tree. I think that I look in the bushes and find some stuff. After that, someone I know appears, (out of a bush as well I think), and I tell him that I need his help, though I can&#39;t remember for what exactly, and he agrees to do what I need him to.

Besides that, I had one dream where I was crawling under this house for some reason, with a bunch of spiders going on me, with a bunch of other people, only to get to a door and walk into the house.
I also had one, I doubt that I was lucid, where I was in a parking lot and just flew around for a while near a highway and in front of family members. I looked up at the sky and thought that I&#39;ve never tried actually flying up until I reached space.

Pretty bad recall lately, just one dream from last night and it&#39;s pretty fuzzy.

I&#39;m in a house similar to my grandparents&#39;, except it&#39;s much larger and seems like a sort of club. There&#39;s a lot of people I know there, and I&#39;m not really sure what, but I spill some stuff on the ground, I think I tipped over a garbage can. This is a VERY big deal apparently, and everyone is kinda looking at me in a blaming way, and I&#39;m feeling really guilty. I go to some stairs and just stand there, while some people are doing something really complicated, just to get a vacuum cleaner to work. I&#39;m not really helping though, not that I didn&#39;t want to clean up the mess I made, but that I felt like I&#39;d screwed up enough already. So instead, I just give out a few instructions, feeling rotten. Eventually, I leave and go into some dorm room, and someone comes to see me, telling me that I&#39;m looking like an asshole, not helping or anything. I kind of have an outbreak, and say that I would but I&#39;m afraid, and we keep talking for a while. I eventually leave, and go talk to some more people, who tell me that sometimes things just don&#39;t go right, but that it&#39;s not a reason to get down on yourself.

I&#39;m somewhere near a road on the coastline, and I know that I&#39;m dreaming. I see a truck nearby, and decide to try some driving. When I get in though, there&#39;s someone in the driver&#39;s seat. I ask her to move, but she won&#39;t budge. I&#39;m not very sure what happens, but I end up with a bunch of people in a sort of army car, in the back seat. They think I&#39;m insane when I tell them this is a dream. I try the nose plug RC, and I almost can&#39;t breathe, so I try again, and this time I can. Sure of myself now, I jump out of the car. A bunch of people with swords start approaching me, and I grab a bamboo staff that&#39;s on the ground. I can slow down time by breathing deeply, so I can react to them easily. I knock them all out. After that, everything is kind of a mess, and I&#39;m pretty much not lucid anymore. I don&#39;t remember much and my notes are written near illegibly. Basically, I think some really, really fat girl appeared, who had a "Mrs. Kentucky" award, and pretty much smashed me and tried to uh, eat me.

I had a really short low level lucid dream last night, not enough to even really write down. That&#39;s the only thing I recalled though, so time to write down more dreams from last month.

#449: Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. ...Freddy?
DFF
Length: 3 minutes

Alright, this one is pretty bizarre, and I&#39;m relying more on notes than on memory for certain parts. The first thing I remember is being in a huge, empty parking lot. My friends are all in a car, and Freddy Krueger is driving, trying to run over a guy, who I think is ANOTHER Freddy Krueger, but armed with a pen. However, the one driving the car is out to kill me too. He drives straight at me, and I do a huge jump onto the car. I&#39;m not sure how, but I end up getting killed. I become a sort of spirit, and watch the rest of what&#39;s happening. Everyone ends up at my old elementary school, near a fence. Freddy #2 drops his pen, and it rolls behind the fence. Immediately, this fat kid runs to go grab it, as evidence that they were really here. Jason Voorhees is fighting Freddy #1, and decapitates him. He then proceeds to cutting the head in several pieces. After that, I&#39;m not really sure what happens to them. I&#39;m still a spirit, and I realize that I&#39;m now confined to the school, so I can&#39;t float out of its range. Everything I see around me, except people, has a sort of price on it, in gold coins. This price (ranging from 2 to 8350) corresponds to what I have to pay to incarnate that thing. I don&#39;t really know how I&#39;m supposed to get the coins. The cheapest thing are the white lines of paint that form the edge of the basketball court. I somehow have one last opportunity to speak with a good friend, and I tell him that if he ever sees an animal acting strangely or abnormally intelligently, it&#39;s me. Soon after, I realize that I&#39;m somehow getting a lot of coins, and that soon I&#39;ll be able to become a dog.

I&#39;m playing a Half-Life mod of sorts, but also &#39;living&#39; it. The are two other people. I&#39;m a zombie (a fast one at that), one is a farmer, the other is some sort of weapons dealer. We&#39;re in some mountains covered in snow, I have 50 hitpoints and armor, and I&#39;m hiding in a cave. I see the farmer taking cover behind a truck, and I sneak up on him. After he dies, I have 100 hp/armor. I go looking for the weapons dealer, but every time I see him, he disappears into the fog. He goes into a building, and I walk in, right into the trap. I get shot many times, and fall to the ground, but I&#39;m still an observer in the dream. Samuel L Jackson walks in, as a weapons inspector, with his assistant. There are guns pretty much EVERYWHERE in front of him, but he doesn&#39;t seem to realize it. He tells his assistant to check if there are any guns around here. I think the dealer starts shooting, and a gunfight ensues. Samuel L. Jackson get skilled though. O Woe&#33;

Wheww, last night was a mess. Lots of dreams, but they&#39;re hard to tell apart, and I had a lucid dream or two, but once again the moments where I was lucid are hard to identify at times.

I&#39;m essentially in the movie Collateral, and I&#39;m a janitor in a skyscraper. I&#39;m maybe on the tenth floor, cleaning the bathrooms. I don&#39;t really remember doing it, but everything seems really clean. I tell myself that I&#39;ll just dry the floor and move on. I grab some paper towels and put them on the ground. Suddenly, I hear some noise and my view shifts to into the corridor. Tom Cruise&#39;s character is there, and he kills some guy with his typical 3 bullets in the body, 1 in the head. I panic, and take the elevator down. I think I talk to someone, maybe my mom, and we get into a taxi. She leaves right after she gets in though, and the driver starts driving. I tell him to stop because I&#39;m not going anywhere, but he doesn&#39;t, trying to get a fare out of me. I offer him ten bucks, but he just goes onto the highway. As we drive, I look out the window and slowly realize I&#39;m dreaming. Wanting to get out of this taxi, I tell the driver I&#39;ll give him thirty bucks to take the next exit. He does, but takes a bad turn and we fall the edge of the road into this sort of crater with maybe a foot of water in it. I stay rather calm, open the door and get out after the tumble, then help the driver out. The car barely has a scratch on it. I stand around for a while, and look at my hands. I decide to experiment with pain, and try punching the car. I don&#39;t feel much, and there&#39;s a small dent in it. I punch the window, and this time it hurts pretty badly. The glass shatters, and I ask the guy to try to do the same thing. He goes to the other window, and tries punching it. I will for the glass to not break though, and he isn&#39;t able to, (he isn&#39;t hitting very hard though). The effect is sort of like bullets hitting bullet-proof glass. The sun starts setting, and I think to myself that I&#39;ll fly outta here. A friend appears though, and he starts following me around, so I ask him if him if he&#39;s up for it. He says yes, and at this point I start losing lucidity. We end up in a sort of airport/school hybrid. My friend has turned into someone else I know, and we have to get to some room, because it&#39;s the only place from which we can fly out of the window. As we&#39;re walking there though, the guy with me realizes that he needs to get something from the story above. I run up there, and grab whatever it is he needed. I pass by some kitchen, where a girl is cooking something, and also by the room we were headed for, where a couple of students are. I think to myself that I should try headbutting someone Zidane style and see their reaction. After this, I still have a bunch of notes written, but I don&#39;t remember anything of what I wrote, something to do with a "phoenix fish" ingesting some poison, and many other fish dying..
Note: I was distinctly aware of the onset of night, and then the sunrise in the dream.

I&#39;m in my room at night, and I have a suspicion that I&#39;m dreaming. I&#39;m thinking of climbing out my window and going outside, wanting to avoid using the front door for some reason. However, I&#39;m thinking that if I&#39;m not dreaming, the fall could be a problem. I do a nose plug RC, and it doesn&#39;t really work. I keep trying though, and eventually I can breathe. I climb out, but quickly lose lucidity, and the dream kinda takes another course. I end up in some sort of assault on a heavily defended factory, with turrets and anti-air guns and stuff, defended by giant spiders. We push them back, and take the battle into the factory. Everything seems pretty much won, and I walk back out. Now it gets really weird, I might be slightly aware that I&#39;m dreaming, but I do some strange thing. I fly into the air, and there&#39;s like, a clone of me floating there or something that I grab. He disappears I think, and I land. I look at the grass in front of me, and kneel down and feel it, trying to see if my sense of touch is working as it should, and it is. I think my sense of taste is too, because I remember having an odd taste in my mouth. Soon after, I wake up.


Besides that, I had a dream where I was in the plane to France, and kinda bored, so I was watching a bunch of movies. At another point in the dream, I realized that I had to take the plane again soon, and that it would be another very tedious ride.

I&#39;m in some sort of academy for people with supernatural abilities, but I don&#39;t think I have any. There are two people talking. One of them is basically our leader, and the other is the most powerful of us all, his powers having to do with creating explosions/fire. They&#39;re talking about a final mission the guy has to do, to kill the leader of whoever we&#39;re against and end whatever has been going on. As they&#39;re about to leave, the explosion guy looks around the dorm room we&#39;re in, and says that it&#39;s almost like there&#39;s someone invisible watching us. They leave, and I&#39;m left there. I go into the corridor, and start walking. I turn a corner, and see as I pass that one of the guards is going to check the room I was in. Suddenly, I hear some noise and my view shifts to him. He takes out his gun, and points it inside the room, having seen someone. My point of view goes back to me, and I realize that one of our enemies has gotten inside, and he can turn invisible. I rush into a room, where I grab a large can of orangeish oil. I run out to help the guard, who is trying to fight the guy even though he can&#39;t see him. For some reason, I know exactly where he is (I think I can sort of see him, even when he&#39;s invisible), so I splash him with the oil so the guard can aim and shoot. However, he makes a spark or something, and the oil catches on fire. It doesn&#39;t seem to harm him at all forming I think two sizzling red metal chains around him, and I get burned. I make a run for it, and I&#39;m not sure what happens to the guard, maybe the guy finished him off, because he doesn&#39;t follow me right away. I sprint through a kitchen, and get outside. I run towards the gate. A dirt road is in front of it, and LOTS of people seem to be all leaving, as if afraid of something that&#39;s coming. Two people I know pass by the gate, and I try to scream for help, but my voice is muffled, so they barely hear anything. The guy chasing me morphs into a dog, to look inconspicuous. However, in dog form, he jumps up on me, almost strangling me somehow. The two people outside the gate look at me as I attempt to yell, but they see nothing so they just ignore me. I&#39;m pretty sure I end up dying. At the end of the dream, I&#39;m just an observer basically, and I see the guy go down into a secret underground facility under the academy, and blow some stuff up.

I&#39;m at this large, dark manor, and I&#39;m there to kill two zombies. I go around the side, and they&#39;re there, so I do the deed (Not sure how) and place them in the trunk of a car that&#39;s in the garage. People arrive soon after, and I hide in the shadows of trees near the manor. I think they&#39;re policemen. By now, for some reason, I&#39;m part-human, part-zombie, part-wolf, and can basically morph into any of the three. At this point, I&#39;m in zombie form. I think I go back to the trunk quickly, and try to push the bodies deeper into it, but as soon as I touch one I become disgusted. They spot me, and I run back to the shadows. After that, I just wander about the forest, fighting along the way, in a Final Fantasy style World Map / Random Encounter pattern. During the fights, I can choose to fight with a sword or as a wolf. I get to some lair, where I fight a bunch of huge monsters. A guy then appears, and lets me into this room where he gives me a bunch of rewards for having passes his &#39;test&#39;, and shows me a door by which I can leave.


I also had a dream last night where I was doing a ton of roller blade tricks in a park, but I don&#39;t remember any details from it.

Alright, had no LDs last night, but a bunch of weird dreams. They&#39;re pretty confusing and recall isn&#39;t always perfect, so they might be hard to understand.

I start out this dream as nobody, just seeing what&#39;s going on. There&#39;s a guy talking to his girlfriend, and they&#39;re in a house. He asks her if she wants to have sex, and she says no, because the bed can only hold a person and a half. They end up outside (night time), and in front of another house. She says some weird stuff has been happening lately, and calls out for someone named Mary. There&#39;s no answer, and she says: "See? I haven&#39;t seen her in forever" or something like that. Suposedly she lived at the house behind the one they&#39;re facing. Suddenly, I "materialize" into the dream, and there&#39;s a sort of portal instead of the front door of the house. My brother is there now, and a bunch of other people. They decide that they&#39;re going to get rid of whatever&#39;s haunting the house once and for all, and go into the portal. I&#39;m about to enter as well, but I suddenly go blind and can&#39;t move. When I can see again, I&#39;m in some place, like a shed or something. There&#39;s a paper on a table nearby, with a bunch of instructions, telling me a bunch of things I have to do to fix something. I hear a voice in my head talking to me, just identified as (King? For some reason, I think so) Arthur, telling me to do a bunch of stuff. At some point, I yell for my brother to come here, because this is the key to stopping the haunting. He doesn&#39;t though, although he does respond. However, before I have time to finish fixing the thing, everything is back to normal and we&#39;re outside the house. My bro and the others come, and say they took care of everything. I tell them there was another way of doing it, and wonder what would have happened if I had finished my thing earlier. After that, I get an RTS-style point of view, and apparently I&#39;ve "cleansed" 2 out of 4 places. I go to the third one, and I&#39;m told I have to help defend the border of this region.

I&#39;m watching an upcoming soccer match, (France-Georgia), and France is absolutely sucking, or at least the goalie is. He lets an easy ball go in, and the match ends up being 1-2. At this point, there&#39;s a penalty kick against France. The guy shooting does a whole sort of ritual, and like, when he hits the ball it&#39;s more like a fireball than anything. It&#39;s hard to explain. It goes in slow motion though, and the goalkeeper makes a crazy save. My dad says that was easy to get, because it went so slow. That&#39;s about all I remember, I think the score ended up being 1-3. I hope that won&#39;t be the real one.

I&#39;m pretty much lost and on the verge of losing control of the car, as I just take turns on instinct, without really a clue as to where the lead. I somehow get to the exact place I wanted, but for some reason I can&#39;t turn, and the car flies off a ramp into the sea.

I&#39;m in another haunted place, a castle this time. I&#39;m with my mom, and there&#39;s also this kinda creepy nightwatcher guy, but he isn&#39;t evil or anything. I&#39;m planning some sort of escape, but for some reason we can&#39;t just go out and leave. We have to go up onto one of the castle walls, up to an altar or something, and then find a way down. It&#39;s night time, and we go out into the corridor that leads into the courtyard, and talk to the nightwatcher. We tell him that in our first attempt we managed to get up to the altar (For some reason, although I&#39;m pretty sure I&#39;m speaking to him in english, I say the french word for altar whenever I speak of it). But, although there&#39;s no sign of any ghosts or anything, it&#39;s supposed to be very hard to get there. The guy leads us outside, flipping on a light switch (It works, although the light ocasionally flickers). I&#39;m not sure what happens, but we end up turning back. We go back into the corridor. However, I&#39;m walking slowly and he turns off the light before I&#39;m inside. I&#39;m immediately freaked out and feel like I can&#39;t move, but it passes and I go in. I end up in a room, taking a bath or something.

I&#39;m walking down the street, carrying a lot of different bags and stuff. A really tall guy walks past me, and takes one of the things I&#39;m holding. I walk after him after dropping the rest of my stuff on the street, and try to get it back. He tells me (sarcastically) that I&#39;m a pretty cool guy, and that I should come hang out with him and his friends some time. When I look back behind me, the rest of my stuff has been taken by the people with him. The guy starts strangling me or something, and I see someone I know. I yell to call the cops, but the guy sprays this weird stuff on my back. It burns, and I realize that it&#39;s supposed to attract their attack dogs to me to basically kill me. I don&#39;t remember what happens afterwards though.

Alright, the beginning of this I don&#39;t recall too well. I think I&#39;m in the book Native Son or at least the story is similar. I&#39;ve been working as a servant for this really rich guy, but I somehow killed his daughter. I&#39;m really sad, and I go see this other guy who&#39;s supposed to basically give me a job. He tells me that I have to go back to working for the rich guy, so I get my job back. I walk to his house, and I&#39;m about to go in, but I can&#39;t bring myself to do it. I get in a limo or taxi, and go to a large building. I get in the elevator, and as the doors are about to close a friend runs in and tells me he&#39;s been looking for me for a long time and has to talk to me. I&#39;m going to the tenth floor, but he presses the button for the 18th and last one. When we get there, we walk past some rooms, and my friend turns into another friend I haven&#39;t seen in a couple years.
<<Note: I can&#39;t place this moment in the dream, but I remember working at one of the rich guy&#39;s parties, and this friend was there performing a skit or something>>
Anyways, we go into a nearby room, and he talks to me about this whole crazy scheme he has. He says that the rich guy I&#39;ve been working for has made him his heir, and wants me to kill him or something like that. I tell him that he&#39;s insane, and we get into a huge argument. I grab for the gun he had, and he takes out another one. They both misfire. I run out of the room, gun still in hand, and turn into another corridor before he can see where I&#39;m going. I crouch down and move slowly to not make noise, and walk onto a fire escape/balcony. I&#39;m starting to become lucid, but for some reason I&#39;m intent on finding what the problem is with the gun. When I&#39;m pretty sure I&#39;m dreaming, I get rid of the gun and look down. I&#39;m right above what looks like my school&#39;s basketball court, except it&#39;s in a sort of alley. There are a bunch of people down there, doing various things. For a short while, I try different techniques to stay focused. After that, I jump down, slowing down my speed in mid air and then just letting myself fall. Once I&#39;m down there, I use the fog that&#39;s floating and make a sort of tornado with it, and mess around with that for a while. I already start losing most of my lucidity here, and see Jessica Alba. She has some toothpaste on her face for some reason, and I make out with her. Shortly after though, I&#39;m in some argument after she says she killed Arthur Ashe (I didn&#39;t even know who it was until yesterday), and I walk off. I see some other guy, a drug dealer I think. He&#39;s really pissed about something, and I ask him why. He says he got ripped off after dealing with mercenaries, and that he sometimes kills people just for their wallets. I ask him how he can do that, and I&#39;m not too sure what he says. I give him some money, and fly off. There&#39;s this huge sort of commercial poster, alongside a building, and I fly up near it to feel the sun&#39;s warmth. After that, I don&#39;t really remember anything.

This one is seriously weird. I&#39;m with my family, and we&#39;re doing this sort of weird thing, like simulating the siege of a castle except using food. Basically, we&#39;re just gonna make a set-up on a table of what looks like (or doesn&#39;t look like) a castle and an army outside of it, and then eat it all. The castle itself isn&#39;t edible, just a sort of decorated fold-out. However, it can be opened in different ways, making either a two story castle a very long one, and we have trouble figuring out which one is better. We get a bunch of sandwiches, crepes, etc., and start placing them. Outside of the castle, we have these three parallel walls that we can move, but that aren&#39;t edible either. We start putting the food between them. However, there&#39;s this sandwich we ordered from a store that turns out to just be a piece of bread with melted cheese all over it. My mom gets really pissed, and says this is going to ruin everything, and I wake up.


Besides that, I just remember a few seconds of a dream where there was a Teacher of the Year election at my school, and the history teacher won it. I was surprised in the dream to see that the physics teacher whom I HATE, got 2nd place.

Only one dream recalled, but man was it weird.

I&#39;m at a party of sorts, and I&#39;m basically Nicolas Cage&#39;s character in the movie Lord of War, I&#39;m not selling any guns though. Anyways, I go to this small enclosure within the building where there&#39;s a small pony. I&#39;m looking for something to ride out quickly, so I ask the kid who&#39;s running the pony-riding thing if he&#39;s got an actual horse for me. He looks kinda pissed, but eventually brings one. I&#39;m not sure why, but I never get on it. Ethan Hawke&#39;s character from the same movie is after me, and he spots me in the crowd. Instead of taking the horse, I sit down on a stool and prepare to uh... ride it. There&#39;s a brief confrontation where someone tells me: "Do you really expect this to work?", and then I actually make my escape. I can&#39;t explain how it works, I just lean forward on the stool and it starts gaining speed, although it&#39;s a bit hard to control at first. It goes pretty fast, and I&#39;m out of there quickly. I end up at what looks like my grandparents&#39; house. As I&#39;m walking towards the pool, I hear people coming and hide. They spot me though, so I "load" to an earlier point. It takes a few seconds to come into effect, so as it does I walk out into the open. The people there are now my bro and mom I think. I briefly tell them that I love them and jump into the pool. Shortly after, I&#39;m back to just when I got outside. Now, somehow, the ground basically becomes this really dark water. I grab the stool I used before and jump into the water. I go to the way bottom to not be seen, and "ride" the stool once again, going extremely fast underwater. Although I don&#39;t see where I am going, I have some special coordinates that I can see to guide me. I hit a dead end, and resurface. I realize I&#39;m in the sewers, and there are stairs leading up to the room where the party was going on. It&#39;s night time now, and the room is basically empty, except for a TV and broken playstation 2 console. I think to myself at this point that I can have an inifinite time to do whatever I want, basically eternal life, if I simply restart the day every time by the loading process. As I&#39;m thinking about that, I wake up.

How do you measure the length of your dreams, is it just a rough guess? I couldn&#39;t say how long mine last.

Jess:
Yeah, it&#39;s a rough estimate, I know what you mean that it&#39;s really difficult to actually measure the length. The length I put down is more relative than anything, I basically use it to know how long the dream was compared to others, but sometimes it can be decently accurate.

This dream is a lot longer than I actually remember, I had nice recall of it when I woke up in the middle of the night, but now most if it is gone except for one scene. I think I&#39;m in the middle of a zombie apocalypse (Although we don&#39;t ever see any in the dream) or something again, and I&#39;m with a bunch of people. We&#39;re at some sort of warehouse, trying to scavenge some supplies. When we&#39;re inside though, and looking through some boxes, I suddenly see the a DVD box with the Snakes on a Plane picture on it. I tell everyone that we have to get out immediately, and that snakes are going to attack any second. Dozens of snakes start pouring out from everywhere, and I run out. Most of the people with me, though, want to try and grab as many supplies as they can before leaving, and start getting killed. I jump into the jeep, and tell the few people in it what&#39;s going on. They say that we can&#39;t save them now. In an effort to save at least one more life, I concentrate and basically shift my consciousness to another person, still inside the warehouse. Controlling him, I run out and jump into the jeep, and we drive away. After that, I don&#39;t remember very much, except being in a sort of dorm, and the guy I rescued being in a pretty bad condition, but nothing fatal.

More bad recall, just one short dream.

I&#39;m on the bottom floor of a house, and with a bunch of people. I think we&#39;re planning a sort of trip, and we&#39;re emptying the house of a lot of stuff. My brother&#39;s there, and we&#39;re almost done taking everything out. The last thing I have to bring is a garbage can that&#39;s half full (or half empty). A HORRIBLE smell is coming from it, and my brother is walking alongside me. We&#39;re both pretty much gagging from the stench, and I stop several times, on the verge of vomiting. We finally get outdoors, and my grandfather arrives in a car. He&#39;s acting impatient though, and telling us to hurry up. We kinda joke around with him, and he answers playfully that if it were up to him we&#39;d leave this instant, and that&#39;s it.

I&#39;m at home, and hanging about in the kitchen. My dad is nearby on a couch, and I&#39;m eating something, although I&#39;m not sure what. There are four slices of it, but I&#39;m almost positive it&#39;s not pizza, which I eat later. When I&#39;m done with the four slices, I&#39;m still very hungry, so I grab the lone slice of pizza that&#39;s lying around. My dad asks me if he can have a small bite. I give him the pizza, and he puts tomato sauce and toppings EVERYWHERE on the couch when he grabs it, and then takes a gigantic bite. I comment on it, and then watch a tennis match on TV. There&#39;s obviously something wrong though, because the players keep moving in a very weird way, swinging towards the ball but stepping in the opposite direction, away from it. After that, I get to cleaning up the couch.

Now this one was pretty interesting, I think it&#39;s the dream where I&#39;ve had the most morphing of scenery that I can recall.
Alright, I think some stuff happens before this, but I remember being at an isolated restaurant, somewhere near a forest. I&#39;m with some relatives, and as we&#39;re walking to a table, I notice that one guy sitting at a table is looking at me. I know him from I guess earlier in the dream, and I&#39;m really afraid that he&#39;s spotted me. I walk quickly away, and start hearing this "hip" music around me. The restaurant morphs into this sort of nightclub, but we still get to a table and order food. One of us gets a sort of fish soup, and I order some sort of grilled fish. It takes a while though, so I get up and walk around for a while. Some stuff happens, but I don&#39;t really recall it in detail. However, the setting starts changing once again, until we&#39;re outdoors in a sort of camping area. It&#39;s very, very dark though, but apparently there&#39;s a professional tennis match going on (US Open?). I think we actually watch it for a while, but soon after the players basically vanish, and there was no actual tennis court. There&#39;s a bunch of people I know around me, they slowly began to appear at various points in the dream. Everything keeps getting darker, and we&#39;re all crowding around a table which seems to be the only place where there&#39;s light, and get closer and closer. After a while, there seems to be some creature lurking around us. It comes closer, and we realize it&#39;s a wild boar. We&#39;re not immediately afraid, more like a slow, creeping fear. It starts circling around one of my friends, and he&#39;s a bit nervous but we keep telling ourselves that if we don&#39;t do anything it&#39;s harmless. I&#39;m quietly relieved that it doesn&#39;t seem to be paying attention to me. A little later though, it starts coming to me. I&#39;m gradually more freaked out, and finally it tries to jump on me or something. I leap onto the table, then back to the ground on the other side. No one around makes a sound. The boar starts coming back near me, and I see that sunrise is coming soon. I&#39;m frantically hoping for daytime, as if as soon as the sun is up everything will be over. The boar attacks me again, and this time everything goes black and I pass out in the dream. When I wake up, my friends are around me and tell me I fainted or had a concussion. I vaguely remember being in a large room with a piano.

Fact: School and Dream recall don&#39;t mix well. Anyways, here&#39;s last night&#39;s short dream.

The first thing I remember is talking for a long time with my brother, about the soccer player Ronaldinho. After a while, he tells me that he played against him once in a soccer match, and that he fouled him completely. I ask him about it, and he says that he has a video of it if I want to watch. I do, and it&#39;s not like I&#39;m looking at it on a screen, but actually "in" it. My brother, Ronaldinho, and some other people are playing soccer on a tennis court. Ronaldinho is up against a fence, I think with the ball. There&#39;s a teammate near him, and my brother, who&#39;s on the opposing team, walks up to him. He looks over his shoulder, making sure the referee isn&#39;t watching (He&#39;s looking somewhere else for some reason), and slides into Ronaldinho. He falls to the ground, and he and his teammate start yelling at my brother, crying out for a foul to be called, but it isn&#39;t. Shortly after, I think I wake up.

Bit of a weird night last night, I&#39;m thinking I had a dream about LDing, but my recall of how it started and what really happened in it is mostly forgotten. Although I&#39;m pretty sure I wasn&#39;t actually aware of being dreaming, I remember thinking in the dream that this is the first time I see things happening in a constant stream, not just a few images that I recall to form one larger story. But now it&#39;s just that.

The first I remember is being at home, and I go downstairs to talk to my mom. At some point, I supposedly become lucid. There&#39;s a whole bunch of stuff I do that I wrote down, but it makes no sense to me right now, something involving a television. I end up outside, and instead of my backyard there&#39;s a sort of fence, and a river marking the entrance of a forest. My dad appears as I&#39;m about to fly out, and says something to me. I end up flying over World War II german lines in a sort of valley, and they&#39;re trying to shoot me down. I&#39;m use "cheat codes" to help me out, and I get to the end of their defenses. At this point though, I&#39;m in a plane with some people and we crash to the ground. Slowly after, everything fades out. There&#39;s so much more to this dream, but either I can&#39;t read the stuff I wrote in the middle of the night in horrible handwriting, or it doesn&#39;t trigger any memories.

Besides that, I remember just some moments from another dream. I was swimming, and my brother came up to me to give me a bunch of tips that I didn&#39;t really pay attention to. Someone in the dream, maybe me, ended up joining a gang. At the end of the dream, I remember playing some first person-shooter.

@&&#036;(&#33;*&&#036;(&#33;*&&#036;, had my dream typed and didn&#39;t pay attention and went to another thread without actually posting it... Time to re-type it...

(This might be pretty boring at times, be warned)
I&#39;m in a new Star Wars movie, and in front of a large facility with a couple people. We&#39;re standing on this large circle, and if you fall off the edge theres nothing but sky/void. Now a weird thing about this dream is that at times I&#39;m &#39;in&#39; the movie, at others I&#39;m watching it and commenting on it with my brother. Anyways, there&#39;s a high tower in front of us, and a girl is trapped pretty high on it. I remember rescuing her myself earlier in the dream, but this time Bruce Willis, who&#39;s next to me, jumps to it. He starts climbing the ladder, and ends up climbing a huge wall instead of the tower, for some reason. There&#39;s a small room basically sticking out of the wall. He lets go of the ladder, and runs on the side of the wall matrix-style, into the room. My brother and I start saying how fake that looked. Bruce pulls a lever, and that disables a blue shield that was around the tower, but that didn&#39;t really do much. Apparently, that&#39;s enough for the girl to be able to get down by herself. From this point on, I&#39;m always "in" the movie, and I&#39;m a jedi. I walk into the building with two others, and we wander away from each other a little bit in a large room. Red laser walls appear, separating us into three different mini-rooms. A dark jedi appears in each of them. However, I fight each battle one after the other, controlling the people who are with me. I start out with my own fight, crouching down and slashing at the guy&#39;s legs. He quickly goes down. In the next fight, I roll forward on the ground, then two spinning slashes to take the enemy out. In the last one, I&#39;m taking a beating. I realize that when I use a power, I get healed a bit in addition to the normal effect of the power. I use one called "haunt", which is supposed to make my enemy fight worse. A small ball of energy projects forward, and goes through him, and I get healed. Shortly after, I defeat the guy I was fighting.

I&#39;m on a bike, and I get to a sort of clearing and it breaks down. There are a few people around, and they stare at me and talk while I try to fix it. From what I can hear, I realize that they think I don&#39;t know how to bike, not understanding that it&#39;s broken. I manage to repair it somehow, but it&#39;s still in pretty bad shape. The pedals are way further forward than they should be, making it almost impossible to do anything. The entire back half of the bike is more like a wagon/elliptical attached to the front by two ropes. I push it back so that the pedals can be in the right position, and it works. I get on, and start going up a hill. A friend&#39;s brother arrives near me, and we get into a race. He&#39;s beating me at first, but I tell myeslf that I&#39;m not going to lose to him. We go off a huge ramp and land in a pool. The cold feels great, because it was really hot before that. I swim quickly and take the lead. When I get to the end of the pool, I go up some stairs, into this HUGE room, which is like a maze of different staircases. Apparently now I&#39;m in a Goblet Of Fire -style contest, and the objective is to get to the top of the room and grab a golden item of some sort. I finally reach it, and I&#39;m informed (somehow) that a girl who&#39;s in the contest has just taken the lead by getting her thing a split second before me. I&#39;m a little pissed, but determined to win in the end. I think I jump off the edge of the floating platform I&#39;m on, to get to the bottom of the room, and the dream fades out.

Alright, so I had a lucid dream last night, but although I remember being very conscious at one point, there are large gaps in my recall, and I lose lucidity at points then sorta get it back.

I&#39;m not sure if this is part of the same dream, but I think so. I&#39;m on a battlefield, and there are about 30 people/orcs/whatever fighting each other. We&#39;re in a desertlike area, maybe on a cliff. Anyways, I walk forward and fight my way past a few guys. There&#39;s only one enemy left, and I throw my sword at him. He dies, and I grab a bunch of leather armor from the ground and put it on. For some reason, I "load" and redo this fight several times. Eventually though, I climb up a small ledge into a sort of temple. There&#39;s a statue there that comes to life to give me advice, and I try to slash at it with my sword just out of curiosity. A force field protects it, and I go through a cave into a room. For a while, there&#39;s an LOTR-like scene, where I&#39;m Sam and with Frodo as they get attacked by a bunch of goblins or something. The next thing I remember is being in a room, and quickly realizing that I&#39;m dreaming. There&#39;s a bed in front of me, and someone is sleeping in it. To make sure I&#39;m dreaming and for fun, I slowly levitate above ground. I mess around with that for a little while, and I leave the room. I think I&#39;m in a sort of hospital, and I go through the corridor. <Don&#39;t remember what happens here> I end up outside, and it&#39;s pitch black. I&#39;m in a very large, open area, and there are about 4 buildings in different places, far away from each other. I see a sort of church or something ahead, it has a giant window with beautiful painted glass. I go inside, and see a DC. For a while, I practice changing his/her appearance, by looking away, imagining the person I want to see, then looking back. It works pretty well, although a few times I have to try again. Here I lose lucidity, and I&#39;m having some problem with an internet error that&#39;s messing up the dream somehow. I end up back outside, in front of a shop, that was to the left of the church. I talk to the shopkeeper for a while, and decide I need to get back to where I was before. He tells me that I should stay here, because there are ghosts outside and they go for anyone who&#39;s out at this time. I think about it for a while, and I think I get back some lucidity. I ask the guy if he has a flashlight, but he takes too long to respond so I walk out. I tell myself that there&#39;s nothing to fear anyways, because it&#39;s not like I can actually be hurt in a dream. I start walking, and I see absolutely nothing, and it&#39;s getting even darker. However, I think to myself that if I just keep moving, the dream won&#39;t fade out and eventually I&#39;ll be able to see something. Things finally get lighter, and I enter a building, although it wasn&#39;t the place I was looking for. I lose lucidity for the rest of the dream here. I have a whole bunch of food in my hands, and I bring it to someone in exchange for cookies. <This sentence sounds extremely weird> I then go to a forklift, and try using an "ability" I have (I&#39;m like in a game now, and I have a list of abilities, I think the one I use is just called "fork"), and I pass through the forklift&#39;s... forks... or whatever they&#39;re called. After that, I meet up with someone and my recall is really fuzzy. I think it&#39;s a she, but I&#39;m not positive, and he/she is in a robotic suit (and maybe I am too). Anyways, I accuse her of being a "stickler", which apparently means that she&#39;s supporting some evil political party. She tells me that she&#39;s doing it to find out more about them, and that she will "never be completely loyal to them." We go onto some platform that serves as an elevator, and she asks me what abilities I have, and I tell her. I wake up shortly after.

I had two lucids last night/morning, but unfortunately I forgot the first one in its entirety, waking up in the middle of the night and remembering but falling asleep again before I wrote anything down, and the memory was gone in the morning. The second one however, I remember just the beginning of, because I think I lost lucidity afterwards.

Alright, so I woke up about 45 minutes before the time I usually do, so I decided to try to re-enter my dreams. I think that before I woke up I was having a dream about playing cards with friends, so I tried to focus on that image and imagining myself doing an RC or realizing something was wrong. For a while, maybe ten minutes, I was hovering between sleep and waking, always snapping back to reality as the dream started, only to fall asleep again very quickly and be in almost the same setting. On all the initial attempts, I was always on the bus and playing Texas Hold&#39;em. When I fell asleep for good though, my surroundings were the same, except I was outside of the bus, sort of stuck in the door while the bus was rolling on the highway. Realizing how absurd this was, I became lucid, and freed myself. Cars were speeding at me, so I proceeded to stopping them by kicking them out of the way or just forward to push them back and/or stop them. I did this for a while, trying to make a complete roadblock so I wouldn&#39;t be annoyed by cars anymore. While I did that, I thought to myself that it&#39;s too bad that I missed the date for the July basic task of the month, because this would&#39;ve worked. However, I soon realize that about 30 seconds after I stop a car, it basically turns to dust and vanishes, making my efforts useless. After trying to make a wall to stop cars out of a truck, I walk off towards a village. After that, I don&#39;t remember much, I think everything turned sort of medieval and I was talking to this peasant girl, and accidentally walking in on her when she was taking a shower or something.
