It's night time, and I'm with my mom in a car, driving through a city. We're trying to get somewhere, so we want to get out of the city as quickly as possible and back onto the highway. For a while, we drive on the street and everything is fine. However, we see up ahead that something is going on, and we start hearing more and more people. I think there are a couple barricades, but we keep driving. Suddenly, a sort of panic starts to break loose. Shots start being fired in all directions, and I yell out asking what's going on. Someone says that the "repressionists" are revolting. I tell my mom to keep driving and go faster, in an attempt to get out of the city before it's too late. The car starts getting hit by bullets, and I think at some point I take the wheel. Eventually, I end up outside of the car, with my mom having disappeared. I get into a building, at the second or third floor. I think there a couple of people there. People in weird outfits and bandanas over their faces arrives, and start shooting people with their AKs. I take cover, and manage to get one of their guns from a dead guy. I start shooting at them, and one takes out a bomb. I go towards him and fire. He gets shot, but I fall into a hole in the ground, into the floor under me. The bomb falls with me. The only exit to the outside is sealed by a keycode lock, and the bomb is about to explode. I think to myself that the guy I killed has the codes to open the door, but I can't reach his body, which is still on the upper floor. I don't remember what happened after that, but odds are I got blown to bits.
And I'm kinda pissed at myself for remembering another dream all day in my head and forgetting it an hour ago :doh:

So this was kind of a weird dream. Basically, the entire dream consisted of me looking at (on the internet maybe?, although I wasn't in front of a screen or anything it had the interface of a website) different items of evidence in the story of the Amityville horror (newer version of the movie, not the real story). I look over the guy's diary, and see how with each day he gets more and more angry and messed up. I look at a couple pictures, and then a transcript of a conversation between the guy and a priest. Everything the priest says is written in italic and smaller letters. The one part of it I remember is simply the answer: "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr...." to one of the priest's questions. When I woke up in the middle of the night, right after that dream, I realized there was a "mistake" in my dream. The 'grrrr' was supposed to be what the guy said, not the priest, but it was written in italic.

This was really kinda strange. Basically, I was in a forest/national park with a couple of people, and we're suddenly surrounded by bears. They aren't moving, but they're in our way to advance on the trail. We have to move very slowly, as far away from them as possible. Since there are so many, we often have to move in between two of them. I'm the last one to go, and I think I pass through successfully once, but then I end up where I started again. This time, I'm really nervous. I walk on a log, and there's one spot where I'm really close to two bears. I move past quickly, but one is already disturbed and starts heading towards me. I reach some stairs that go down, then back up. The rest of the people are already at the top, and are telling me to run as fast as I can. I do, but as I'm going up I fall off the stairs and to the side. The bear has disappeared, and I realize that there's a small, dark room inside the stairs, accessible through a small hole on the left side of the stairs. I go inside, and light comes on. After that, the dream gets kinda chaotic. Basically, I see a mannequin of what's supposed to be a Final Fantasy VIII character named Mae. After that, the whole dream revolves around discovering the secret of this character, but I don't remember any particular scenes. The only thing I recall is a voice or something telling me that the secret has to do with Mae exploding to become a bunch of flowers.

I really don't remember much from this one. Basically, I was working for some evil company, and my job was to keep customers inside the building long enough (2-3 days) for whatever we're doing to them (taking their souls or something) to be complete. For a while, I stay in a room and try to keep the people distracted, hours passing by in a few seconds. However, there ends up being a problem and I have to go to the upper floor to talk to the boss. I get there, and I'm pretty nervous. Everything looks very fancy and rich, and in the middle of the corridor is a huge sort of steel barricade made of two large cylinders that serves a security door. I knock on it, and it eventually opens. The boss is a she, and she looks really hot. She's not wearing much, so she says she's going to go change. She comes back, and we start talking about whatever.

Had an interesting night last night, woke up consistently through the night after about 2 hours each time, without any prior intent. It did help me recall a bunch of stuff, but a lot of it has been forgotten even though I wrote some notes on it :/
...And uh oh, I just realized what I posted last night hasn't showed up. So I'll add that in too.

Basically I'm just spectating throughout this whole dream. I'm in front of a cabin, in the middle of nowhere. There's a machine that's making snowflakes fall around me, and the ground is already coated in snow. Basically, a huge fight goes on at the entrance of the cabin between Batman and Venom. I don't remember it in detail, just a bunch of flashes and crashes.

I'm playing an old school computer adventure game (Scumm VM engine style), and I think the basic objective is to solve a murder. The character I'm playing as is this weird sort of blob/slime thing shaped vaguely like a man, and it just kinda floats around the screen. I go through different rooms and try to solve a bunch of puzzles, but most of the time I'm stumped, and think to myself that this is really a hard game. The last thing I remember doing is talking to a pirate with my character.

I'm in a very dimly-lit house, which is supposed to be my home although it looks nothing like it. I wander around for a while, and see my mom. We start discussing whether we should try out some new board game or watch Survivor. We decide to start with the board game and then get to the TV.

Wish I could remember more from this, because I know this is only a brief chunk. I'm not actually anyone in this part of the dream, just watching a scene. Basically there's this mustached guy who looks like he came from a Wild West movie, sitting at a bar with a couple of people. He's talking about someone named Davian (subconscious got that name from Mission Impossible 3 which I watched not long ago, and the story might be based off Dorian Gray which I read recently). Basically, he's saying that he shouldn't have integrated Davian into his group, because they're so corrupt and into crime. Apparently, being with them turned him completely twisted and crazy, and now he's on the loose wreaking havoc. The guy says that he wishes he had just killed Davian.
This wasn't the central part of the dream, but all I wrote down is that in the dream I was asking my brother to help me with something.

I'm very pissed off at my brother and mom, so I take the car and drive off into the mountains. I end up stopped at the edge of a ravine. It's sort of hard to explain how it looks, but behind me is also the edge of a cliff. The car is very unstable, and a simple shift in weight can determine whether or not I tip into the ravine. For a while, I just stay there, but eventually roll the car back in fear. However, I go a bit too fast and very nearly fall from the cliff. However, since I'm this close, I realize that it isn't actually a cliff, and that there's much more land and vegetation extending out of the edge. Finally, I think to myself that maybe I should go back to see my family, and shortly after my mom finds me. I'm still unsure whether or not to stay, and the last thing I wrote down is something about a plane.
There's two other dreams, but I don't remember them at all.

I'm indoors in a big open room, with one or two people I know, and apparently we're trying to act out a play. I'm not sure if there's an actual audience or not, but we're making fun of a whole bunch of people in the play, people who are supposed to be watching it. We go over a scene for a long time making a couple changes. <Not sure where this next passage in hte dream is located, or it's part of another dream> Eventually, I walk away and end up at the grand opening of this hotdog place. It's basically a giant, inflatable sort of tower (three floors high) that you have to climb up to get to the place where you eat. I'm in front of it, a friend is to the left, and another guy is on the right. We're each in front of a spot where we can start climbing from. I think to myself that I haven't eaten a hotdog in so long, so I have to get up there as fast as possible. We all start climbing, but I'm struggling. They get up to the first floor, and then I realize that they each used nets that were hanging from ledges. I see mine, and use it to climb up. On the second floor I have some more trouble, but I don't remember ever getting to the top.
At another point, I'm near some windows and I see a private jet landing near a dirt road right next to the building I'm in. I realize it's Jeff Corwin, and kinda joke about it to the people nearby. I end up outside in this sort of park that seems completely isolated and natural. There are a bunch of animals all around, and a few people scattered about. I think at some point Jeff appears and starts explaining something about a dear, but I can't recall it precisely. Anyways, my mom moves towards this sort of large insect nest that's popping out of the ground, telling me I have to see this at least once in my life. She reaches her hand in, and pulls out a large egg. It shatters, and a very large, ugly beetle comes out, and more start leaving the nest. I'm disgusted, and move away quickly.

This was a pretty weird one, and it's going to be hard to explain. Basically, I'm looking at some sort of game on the internet (I don't actually see my computer though, as usual). The game is related to lucid dreaming and has about 7-10 levels. Every time I want to start a level, I have to make a new folder on my computer. Inside the folder automatically appear 3-4 files, one of which is always a text file initially named "empty character". The name you give one of the files apparently determines what type of scenario the game generates. The only "level" I remember doing though is near the end of the dream. I appear at my granparents' house, and there's a little kid there. Two guys go to him, and they're trying to take something from him. I leave the first guy alone, but after standing there a few moments I go up to the second guy, an enormously fat man. I tell him to back off, and a fight starts. We're struggling to wrestle each other down, and just as I feel that I'm about to fall under his weight I push him back onto a table easily. I end up bouncing on his stomach like a trampoline in an attempt to keep him down. Eventually, I'm back on my computer, and wondering when the game actually gets to the part where you become lucid. I think about lucidity for quite a while (and had at different points in the dream) but it never clicks that I'm dreaming. I check the webpage again, and see that at level 3 the character you play as becomes lucid or whatever. I make a bunch of new folders, and realize that there are only a few specific names that correspond to the real levels of the game. Other names will just make a generic scenario. I'm confused about this, because I don't see any possible way of figuring out the names to use. Eventually, I wake up.

Still no lucids lately, apparently waking up at 3:30 AM with pink floyd music coming full blast into my room wasn't weird enough to be a dream (Long story.... RCed like crazy though to make sure). Anyways, here's the dream from last night.

Length: 3 minutes
I'm an agent or something part of a special team, and apparently I'm on a mission. I'm in a taxi, and tell the driver to drive me to some store quickly, because a shootout is about to take place there. The instant he arrives, shots are fired. I get down behind the cab for cover, and lie flat on the ground until the people firing have no more ammo, since I have no weapon myself. For a while, everything is quiet and then I see my brother, about 15 feet away from me. He tells me he has something for me, and it looks like some food. However, a guy with a gun sees me, and takes the bag as my brother throws it to me. He says he knows there's a gun concealed in there, so he takes a bite out of the food to see if it's hidden in there. However, after he's eaten a bit of it, his just falls off. I think to myself: "Not again..." (The head falling off thing is from a movie I saw not long ago, and that's what I was thinking about at that point). I tell my brother that it was a smart move to not actually hide a gun but to poison the food. I grab the dead guy's gun, and go in the store. At this point, I have 3-4 people with me, and they're my team. One of them is my friend, and another might have been my mom. We go through many aisles, and I don't remember things so clearly here. The store starts flooding until it's completely underwater, but we manage to take an elevator up before. We're looking for evidence in a murder case, but we aren't finding any. The last thing I remember in the dream is being desperate for some sort of proof, and ending up underwater with my team. We suddenly get caught in a metallic box, and it's slowly closing on us to crush/kill us. However, as this is happening, I spot a small coin and grab it, it's some of the evidence we've been looking for. After about 7 seconds, the box reopens and we're fine.

I'm over at a modified version of my grandparents' house in France with my family, and they're replaying the '98 world cup final on television. We decide to watch it, but we're taking a while to actually sit down, with each of us going around into different rooms to do stuff. After a while, I go into the kitchen. The house is like split in half in the dream, so you have to go outside to get to other side of it. I notice that someone I don't recognize is there, and it seems like he's searching through every room. I'm a bit freaked out, and point it out to everyone. They say he's been there for a while, looking for some sort of paper, but they're not sure what's going on and haven't wanted/dared to go near him. I go into another room with my brother, and talk to him about it. He asks me if I want to see the guy from closer up, and I say yes. We go out near a small pool, and we get a clear view of him. Suddenly, I realize that it's my dad. I think to myself that he's gone insane, and I feel pretty sad. For a while I just stand around. After that, I don't remember exactly what happens, but in the end we realize that he was searching the house for a good reason and that he hadn't lost his mind.
And this dream from the other day (it's boring)

I'm playing Age of Empires 2 with a partner, and we have some really strange strategy. I don't remember exactly how it works, but we're basically attacking with some low-tech units, hoping to catch the enemy by surprise. It works, and we win the game in about 5 minutes. At the end, I think to myself that that's like the fastest game I've ever played. The game gives me a ranking based on my own previous performances, and I get the rank of "Deceiver". I think to myself that that's kinda weird and doesn't sound too great. I don't remember anything after that, except something having to do with the cathedral of Rheims.

At last, a lucid dream :D. Last night was pretty confusing though. I recalled a lot of dreams, but it's hard to tell which ones are part of the same dream and which ones are separate. Anyways, here's the chaos of fragments and other stuff.

It's kinda hard to describe my point of view in this dream. I basically alternate between watching a flash movie on my computer and a movie on TV, although I don't see the outside of the screen in either of the cases. On both the TV and computer, the thing I'm watching is related to the Saw movies. However, although the characters are the same, what happens is different. I think on one of the screens I'm watching Saw 3, and on the other a commentary on the movies. For a while, I just watch the movie, until it changes to Saw 2. I see Amanda in a pit, chained to the ground by her shoulder I think. At some point in the dream, I see her get pierced by a bunch of spikes, and other stuff happens to her. However, after that, it flashes back to the beginning, where she's just lying in the pit. I see a closeup of her shoulder, and there's a sort of hole in her flesh where she can free herself if she passes the hook through it. She does so, and the commentator says something like: The whole thing wasn't about punishing her for what she's done, but about masochism. There was some complicated story that I felt I understood at that point. The main idea is that she willingly trapped herself there, when it had seemed someone else had put her there.

I'm taking a 4 hour test, (which I'm taking tomorrow in real life), with a bunch of friends. I don't remember much about what I actually did on it, but two "hours" pass, and I fall asleep in the dream.
<Now I'm not sure if this next part is part of this dream or not, but I think so>
I'm flying above water, and after a little while I conveniently realize that I'm dreaming. For a while, I feel very focused / in control of myself, more so than in my previous LDs. I eventually land, and do the lucid task of asking some DCs if I'm dreaming (I got one "not really" and one "You might be"). After that, there starts being a large crowd of people and my dream fades out quickly as I kiss a nearby girl.
I "wake up" in the test room, but apparently time froze so I haven't lost any time on the test. I talk to a bunch of my friends about what happened and say it was awesome, especially since it all happened in an instant.
Besides that, I had one dream where I was playing the game Black & White, and trying to lure some people onto a trap I set on a cliff to toss them into the ocean. :evil:
I also had another dream that might've been a fake LD, but I don't recall anything precise from it.

He goes on for a while, and then I start arguing with him trying to prove him wrong. He ends up giving one response to a question of mine that leaves me puzzled, and wondering if I'm right after all. However, shortly after, I see the flaw in what he said and start debating again. It just kinda drags on until the end of the dream.

So I'm in a Ben & Jerry's store, getting some ice cream. A couple friends are there, and we're all at the counter. I'm looking at a board that has all the different flavors on it, and trying to decide on one. I realize that I don't have enough money or something, and think I should've brought a coupon for a free cone I have. After a while, the old cashier says he has to go for a couple minutes, and asks for one of my friends to take over. He gets behind the counter, and starts preparing ice creams. He tries to do everything the same way the guy did, which was really strange: He took a large bowl, put a lot of mint leaves and herbs in it until about halfway, then added the actual ice cream along with a couple ingredients. Besides that, I don't remember much, although I know the dream continued for a while, I think with me going out into the street and running after someone.

So I'm in my house, with two other people, a guy and a girl, and everything's really dark. Basically, traps have been set up in the house to kill us one after another. The first thing I remember is being in my parents' room, and we can barely see anything. I think the room is divided into a sort of grid, and suddenly a bunch of people appear, but it's dead silent. For some reason, none of us can speak, and temporarily one of us is blind, the other crippled, the other mute. Everyone's trying to figure out what's going on and supposedly the killer is among us, but we can't see much. Suddenly, I see a guy on the ground, and I think to myself that he's the one we're looking for. However, a few moments later, he dies from poison or something and I realize he was framed. At this point, the room is back to "normal", and we're just us 3 again. We start talking about what the next trap might be. We talk for a while, and eventually I walk away for a moment, out of the room. Suddenly, I look back and realize there's a fire inside the room and the two others are screaming. I run back in, and they're trapped against a wall by a bed and some furniture. Instead of climbing over it, they're trying to cut a passage through with a knife or something. I consider saving myself because there might be another trap, but I run up to them. I throw the matress off the bed and push it back a bit, and tell them to walk on and over it. THey do, and we run out of the room. The girl thinks she's safe, but the other guy and I start sprinting out of the house, and yelling for her to come with us, thinking that the house is going to explode because the same thing supposedly happened earlier in the dream. I sprint as fast as I can, out into the street. Suddenly, I hear a robotic voice counting down from 5 to 0, and I try to get across the street before the time is up. When it hits 0, I dive forward and the house kinda explodes, but it's not actually that big. A bunch of fire blasts through the windows, but it doesn't go very far, so in the dream I'm kinda surprised/"disappointed".
I don't know why, but I think this next part is part of the same dream:
I'm playing Super Smash Brothers or something like it, playing as some weird blue character. Basically he/she has two special things: The first one makes the character have glowing blue hands for a second or two, and if it hits an enemy during that time the enemy just shrinks and dies after a couple seconds. The other ability like changes the camera view to a gun which can shoot out lasers. For a while, I sort of struggle to win rounds, but eventually realize the character is really good. Each level, there's one extra enemy character and I get to 4v1. After a long fight, I win on the verge of death and I'm pretty happy. I see my brother, and challenge him, telling him I've found an awesome character to play as.

Basically no recall last night, wish I would've had some though, because the only thing I remember is having a bunch of dreams (or one long one) having to do with being on a beach. Basically, in the dream I thought to myself that every dream I have happens on that beach (which is incorrect) and that I could become lucid thanks to that. I don't remember any specifics though.
-
Two fragments, although I think they're part of the same dream:
I'm in a store, and looking at some stuff on a shelf. There's a bunch of different things, notably video games scattered about and some dolls or something for children. As I'm looking about for the video games, I end up standing there for a long time searching the shelf. The people around think I'm gonna buy a bunch of kid's toys for myself, and one guy in a suit comes up to me from outside, and asks me if I want to get in his taxi/limo and drive to the docks with him. It's not exactly an innocent proposal, so I say no and eventually I think I just leave the store.
Another fragment of a dream about lucid dreaming, but not actually lucid. Basically, all I remember is being in this small world, where there a couple buildings but I can't go too high or too far away from them or I hit an invisible boundary. I sort of think about lucidity, and also tell myself that this is pretty awesome that I can just fly around, but I'm not really that conscious that I'm dreaming, I just kinda accept that all I can do is fly around and stay within the limits of the area I'm in.

I'm skateboarding (although at some points, it's as if I'm rollerblading) in a park with a couple friends, and not doing very well since I've never skateboarded. I do a jump at one point, and I thought it was pretty good, but a friend behind me tells me that I wasn't leaning either forward or backwards so it kinda sucked or at least looked weird. I think about it for a while, and we get to a halfpipe. There are a few people I know watching, and I go on it. I get launched up into the air, and sort of unintentionally do a slow front flip with my board. I think to myself as it's happening that I'm going to land head down and hurt/kill myself, but I manage to land it perfectly and everyone's surprised/impressed. After that, everything's a mess. The dream basically turns into a fake (I think) lucid dream, where I keep fading out and "re-entering" (not really) the dream and becoming "lucid" again. I don't remember anything precise about it, except ending up in my school and trying to change the scenery.
Also had a dream where I found out my mom was dead, but I was quietly shocked because I was expecting something even worse to happen very soon in the dream. Don't recall details though.

Hard to remember most of this dream (an AIM screen name triggered the memory!) but here goes. It's night time, and I'm standing around a parking lot. Someone I've talked to by internet but never seen comes up to me. Everything is strangely greenish, like it's faintly glowing, mainly the guy's eyes. I ask him about it, telling him I thought he had blue eyes. He tells me they're kinda blue and green, and I agree although at this point they just look light blue. I walk off with him, and realize my house is right ahead, but avoid it and go to some McDonalds. Instead of going inside though, we go along the side-alley until we reach a high fence. We consider climbing it, but eventually decide it's a bit high. Some guy/guard tells us we have to leave, and tells the other people who were hanging around they have to go too. We sort of take our time, so he starts getting a bit angry. We leave, and end up in a sort of bus. After that, a couple things happen but I don't recall them very well.

Fuzzy recall, but here's what I remember. I'm in a large city, and for a while I just walk around. Eventually, I see two black kids (orphans? not sure) and they're just kinda wandering around, lost. Apparently, this is a pretty dangerous side of town, so I decide to help them get back to where they live. They come with me, but I just keep kinda going in the same direction, with no specific location in mind. After some blocks, I end up at a sort of open party/carnival in the street, and for some reason it's seeming more and more urgent that I help the kids get back quickly. I think what happens is that I ask around for someone's cellphone to call 911, and then make a speech to the people asking me to lend me a phone just for a few seconds. Eventually, I'm just standing around in the crowd and I see a fireman who I think of as a 911 operative more than an actual fireman (hard to explain what I mean by this), and ask him if he can help out the kids by calling for more people. I think he agrees, and uses a walkie-talkie to contact some others, but I don't remember what happens afterwards.

Very short dream, basically I'm just reading a thread on here about typing speed. It's a really extensive thing about dozens of typing styles my mind came up with, although I don't really remember any of them. Near the end, it talks about unorthodox styles like typing with only one finger per hand, saying that although they aren't very frequent, they can yield decent to fast typing speeds if they're practiced enough. After that, I wake up.

So I'm in a sort of rollerblading video game with two or three people I know. I'm in a large, nice looking city near the ocean, and for a while I just go around town. One of the guys is watching me, and I do a jump over a ramp. Another one arrives, and tells us that he was just in Canada and that it was pretty awesome. I feel like checking it out, so I ask him how he got there. He basically tells me to go into the ocean, so I start heading for the beach. Although not all of them are near me, I can hear the people I'm with arguing about some insignia on a statue that they keep changing. Two of them want it to say "Jeff" or something like that, but the other one isn't happy about it, so apparently he's being trying to screw it up. As I leave, they tell me to check out the statue on my way to the beach and see what it says. When I get there, it's a statue of a general on a horse, and the insignia is blank. I tell them so from a distance, and I'm not sure how they react. There's more to this dream and other dreams, but I forgot them :/

Sorta strange dreams last night, the recall is incomplete, but here they are:

I'm on some sort of mission with a couple people, some of them characters in the movie Mindhunters (I don't know why, but that movie has kept coming up in my dreams in one way or another lately, it's strange because I just saw it once and although I liked it I don't think I was that impacted by it), and basically my teammates are dying one after the other. I remember at some point being in a sort of jeep, with 3-4 other people. At one moment, my view shifts to a view of a black guy, with a crashed/burning vehicle on the side of the road. I think he was bleeding, and maybe hanging from a cliff, but at least I'm sure he was going to die in a few minutes one way or another. I think to myself that time is running out before everyone gets killed, me included. At the end, I end up in a room, confronting a woman named Justin (no mistake, I actually know why she was called that) as the murderer. I don't remember specifics, but I know there was something that happened with a helicopter crash.

So I'm with a whole bunch of other people my age, about 20 of them, and we're all going to (or forced to go to, don't remember for sure) a sort of hypnotherapy center. When we get there, everything is sorta weird and we're all put in a room. We wait there for a long time, and the dream gets kinda wacky and off subject. There's a very large bed on one side of the room, and every once in a while a fat woman comes in to check on us. Whenever she does, the people who are with me quickly toss 3 TV remotes to me, and I hide them under one of the "tiles" the bed cushion is made of, I'm not sure exactly why. After that, we end up in a room with about 15-20 computers. Basically, a special video is being made for each person to put them into a trance or whatever and improve them. The videos are being shown one after another, I think with each person's parents being present, and I'm feeling kinda weird/freaked out about this whole thing, especially wondering what it's gonna be like when my turn comes up. However, I don't think it ever does, and we just end up working on the computers on our own video. I don't think we're actually doing anything though, just clicking random stuff. At several points in the dream, one guy is already on or has to use the computer I'm on to do his video, and we kinda get into arguments, frustrated that we have to share a computer. That's basically all I remember.

Bit of a strange dream, mainly because of lots of setting changes. I start out along this very long path, lounging a river, in PE running with the rest of my class. We're pretty scattered, and for some reason I'm carrying my (heavy) backpack on one shoulder, and another bag on the other, so I'm pretty weighed down and slow. A friend of mine isn't feeling too great, so he slows down and we're going at about the same pace. Somehow, I lose one of the bags I'm carrying and it falls into the river. I think to myself that I have to get it back, but you can't go directly down to the river: you have to get to the end of the path, then there is a small road which allows to go down. Otherwise, you would have to jump down (Which really wouldn't have been a problem in real life, the drop was really small but for some reason I never thought of doing it). Now able to carry my backpack on both shoulders, I start making a sprint for the end of the path before the bag can drift too far away. When I get there, though, I've lost all sight of the bag and don't really head back to the place I lost it. The area around me kinda turns into a classroom, and I go up and start talking to the PE teacher (I think about history homework though). I not exactly sure about the details of what happens, but there's a misunderstanding between us and he starts acting like kind of an asshole about it, so we argue and get sort of pissed, I think it was over some paper. The scenery once again morphs, and I'm in somebody's office with two people. For a while, I think I talk to them, but eventually the idea of lucidity comes to my mind. I basically start doing something I had read in this thread (a worthwhile read) the night before. I get down on my knees, but rather than thinking about the fact that everything around me is generated by my mind, I instead think to myself that I have to explain the purpose of war or something like that. For a while, I just stay there thinking. Eventually, I think I wake up (still inside a dream) , or at least everything goes dark and think to myself that I missed an LD, but that there was nothing I could do to stop from waking up (I had some bizarre explanation that I don't recall anymore). I think there was one more thing that happened in the dream, (The setting changing to Vietnam??, scribbled something like that on my notes) but it's gone from my memory now.

I'm at school, and we're in a room with a bunch of ping pong tables set up. They all look very worn and scratched, but I think to myself that they're still good enough to play on. I'm feeling really confident that I can beat my friends at it pretty easily, and I challenge one of them. Everything goes kinda slowly, and I lose the first two points, although through bad luck. In both of them, the net was a problem. I don't remember exactly, but I think in the first point my ball bounced back off the top of the net, and in the second the opponents ball hit the top of it, and went just over it onto my side with like no power so I couldn't reach it in time. I'm sorta pissed, but think to myself that I will still win. I don't remember if I do, though.

Don't recall much from this, although I did when I woke up at 3 AM and then went to sleep again. I'm basically in this really dark place, on a lightly fortified platform lit by 4 torches, one in each corner. I'm with a friend who has a sword, and my point of view is like the one in the game Daggerfall for most of the dream. Basically, we're defending against waves of monsters, although I'm not sure why they're attacking. The torches slowly lose their light over time, so we have to walk up to them whenever possible to make them bright again. We just fight for a long time, and some item drops. I can read the "description", and it says that basically when I use it (10 charges), my friend and I will constantly be healed and have access to special equipment so we will never die. I never really use it though, because I wake up a little while after and yeah, I play too many video games.
Besides that, I had two other dreams. One I was basically freaked out about this big flying spider thing in my room, and I was trying to figure out what it was. Eventually, it disappeared and later on in the dream I saw it again.
The other dream involved me driving a car and crashing into the one in front of me, but I don't remember details.

Had a pretty good LD last night (From an actual consciousness perspective), although I slept a lot afterwards since it happened and I woke up at like 2 AM, so I've unfortunately forgotten a chunk of it.

So I'm at the front door of my house, and it's the late afternoon. I walk out the door, and immediately as I walk into the street I start thinking to myself that I'm dreaming. I follow the steps from the thread I linked 3 posts ago, getting down on my knees and focusing, etc. As soon as I try to listen for sounds of birds, I start hearing them although they weren't there before. I focus on my hands and other things for a while, and eventually get up. Pretty soon, a couple of people I know walk towards me and start playing soccer. I decide to join in to see how it'll go, but realize that the dream is "rigging" it in my favor, making the ball bounce oddly or just ignore gravity at times so that it comes directly to me. Eventually, I stop. <Part where I forgot what happened>. I end up near a beach, and see a couple more people, but the others I played soccer with are still around. At this point, I've already started losing lucidity. I go up to a girl and kiss her, and then, after a while, the people around me start crowding around me and pushing me towards the beach. At this point, basically all lucidity's gone. They throw me into the water, and every time I go under everything turns black, and I have a split-second thought that this is how the dream's gonna end. I try to resurface, and for a second they let me come back up. They start talking almost nonsense about how I have to do a certain signal every time I want to breathe. They proceed to dunking another person in the water, and as he slaps the surface of the water they bring him back up. They say some other weird thing to him about how he has to hit the water 9 (? not sure about the number) times to resurface because he's the 9th person out of the 11 of us. They also mention something about each number being attributed to a nationality, telling the guy that right now he's italian. Weird and confusing, yeah...

Can only remember some scattered scenes from this one, so here they are. The first thing I recall is being at my school, with a few people I know standing in some corner where there's apparently a McDonalds. They're all going to eat there, and I have a gigantic craving for some chicken nuggets, but I'm debating with myself whether or not I should eat some because I'm afraid of getting E Coli or something like that at the time. After that, the next thing I remember is being chased about the school by someone. I manage to escape to a balcony of some sort, and just fly out. I land in another place in the school, where some of my friends are eating. I don't remember exactly what happens, but I remember having a long discussion/argument with some of them.
Besides that, I had another dream where I was in an FF12 style point of view, but I don't have much recall from it. Basically we were just running from a small army that was chasing us, through these sorta sandy caves/tunnels. Eventually, it just became an all out panic and every ran for their lives, some falling and getting killed, others making it out.

Now this was kind of a strange dream(s?). I'm not sure if it is just one dream, or if the whole night was a sequence of related dreams. I remember thinking at some point (Although I don't know when, whether during a brief awakening or in the actual dream) that everything was linked and that each dream was part of a bigger theme/story. I basically have recall in snippets (or separate dreams). The general theme/setting is inside this huge mansion. Everything's sorta gloomy, and I'm always with someone, although I'm not sure who, apparently a friend. We're basically going through different rooms, meeting people and we have to decide whether or not they've become evil/possessed/whatever. The first person we meet is my french teacher, who says a whole bunch of weird stuff. Later on the dream, when we think about it, we realize that he was giving us important advice on what to do and that he wanted to help us, although in the moment we're a bit freaked out. The second fragment I remember is being in a room with a hot chick. As she leaves, the guy that's with me goes back towards her and gives her a kiss. Shortly after, he collapses and dies, poisoned. The last thing I remember is being on this sort of pad on the side of a cliff, and with a couple of people around me. One of them challenges me to a fight, but I don't want to fight him although I am very confident that I can beat him easily. He starts attacking me and I just kinda stand there avoiding attacks for a bit. Now this is very hard and weird to explain, but for a while it's sorta like I'm using Microsoft Word to control some of my actions. Eventually, I start attacking him. It was all pretty cool, with quick blocks and hits, and I beat the guy after a while.
