(Stilltrying to get caught up. Gonna do another installment of dreams, after this one, but I'm also going to go ahead and get started on some of my more recent dreams, in the other DJ section. Will post a link in here, some time.)

"Bored Meeting"
I was in an office setting, surrounded by a board of suit-wearing colleagues, in a room fitted with a large, oval table and a single row of windows which spanned all four walls. I know that there was much more that went on, in the beginning of this dream, but this is another one where the first thing I can recall - upon waking - is being lucid. The first impulse I had was to play around with gravity. I started walking up the walls and along the ceiling, pretty much just strolling about the room and observing things. The board of DC's got up and started doing their own thing - some of them striking up off-beat conversations with others, and some of them acting like complete children and throwing things around the room at each other. I began to have a conversation to a woman about how this was all a dream, but she was way ahead of me and confirmed that it was, before I even mentioned it. Shortly after talking to her, I remember standing sideways, on one of the vertical walls, and talking to someone who was sitting nearby, on a chair. I was really enjoying the unusual perspective of just standing on a wall as if it were the floor, so close to the actual floor. We just talked for a while, but I don't really remember any of the dialogue, in this dream.

Fragment:
Don't remember much about this one, but it had something to do with either time travel, or dream-time dilation. I was telling someone about the "other time", in which I'd lived for like 40 years, and had a wife and a daughter. Apparently, this life was now over, and I was getting really choked up, when explaining the whole story to some female. I think I had eventually "woke up" from that life, and came to the realization it had all been a dream.
Somehow, this scenario got tied into having to swim through some kind of tunnel, which would magically transport me back to where/when I was "supposed" to be. I remember that the tunnel took me onto a school campus, for some reason, but I don't remember anything that happened there.

Dream One:
"MJ's Brothers"
I was hanging out with someone, and we were either in a mall or some large, similar building. MJ was there, and she had to work - apparently in the "mall" that we were in. M's family showed up, and were just immediately starting shit with people. It wasn't her actual family from waking life, but more like characters "playing" them. There were two small brothers, one huge brother, and their mom, and they were just pushing people around and generally causing ruckus. As time went on, they were seeming to get more and more violent. Before then, they had just been messing with everyone else in the crowd, but now, they'd turned their attention to me.
One of them began pushing me, and I immediately fought back. The others then tried to manuever into the fight as well. By this time, the mall/whatever building was packed with a sea of people. It was like a standing-room-only crowd at a concert. The three of us were fighting near one wall, and the hundreds of people had us closed in, but were just going on about their business. I was holding my own against this entire family of brothers, though. Lol. At one point, they developed the tactic of slipping into the crowd, once I'd beat them back from me. I would then lose them, visually, and they would rush out from other angles, trying to get the drop on me.
Somehow coming out on top, I'd pummeled the trio into giving up. Don't remember anything that happened after the right, though.
Dream Two:
"Forgery"
This was a really complex dream based on the movie Inception. I don't quite believe I was Cobb, but I was a main character. Apparently, I was meeting with the team, after a job, and I was having a hard time remembering what all had happened on the mission. There were just so many twists and turns in the story, that I couldn't piece it all together. Everyone else was talking about how it was done, and trying to jog my memory. They said something about using invisible technology and shapeshifting. By the end of the dream, they were trying to actually show me what they'd done. We'd met in a public bathroom somewhere, and dressed somewhat Matrix-ish. But each character showed up as someone else, and after they talked for a short while, I ended up more-or-less figuring out who was who. Then, to show me the technology, they shifted their bodies back into their original forms. Ariadne had been in the body of an short, fat, old man. I can't really remember who everyone else was.
I had become lucid, at one point, and was able to remember to do the unicorn task. Unfortunately, I couldn't make one appear. I remember being in a downstairs hallway of a building, which looked like it could have been a university or something. The lights were very dim, and I was trying to make the unicorn come in through one of the shadowy doorways around me. I did see a few small animals go running passed me; goats, birds, etc., but no unicorn. Wandering through the moonlit hallways for a while, I amused myself by levitating random people, as I passed them. My lucidity didn't last long, though, and I ended up waking up.

"Prototypical"
I was at a house that I've never had in waking life, but it was still "my" house. I was younger than I am now, and I had been playing around with something which I can't remember. It ended up causing a large explosion in the house. The only thing I could think of, was how pissed my mom was going to be. Lol. I knew I didn't want to be here when she got home, so I climbed out a window onto the roof. Night had fallen while I was still on the roof. It was then that I realized I was dreaming. I ended up flying away from home to go find something to do. Elsewhere in the city, there was a fight going on, and I dropped in to watch. A horde of people were out in the streets, just beating the snot out of each other. I just hovered there, for a while, over the heads of some of the other spectators. But, suddenly I noticed that the attention was turning more and more to me. The audience was now becoming agressive at me, treating me like I was some kind of monster, because I could fly (much like Inception). An insane chase followed; flying and web-slinging through the city streets, while people chased me in cars and threw whatever firepower they could at me. Soaring high above road, I would swing my hands out wildly, visualizing myself slinging clusters of explosive blasts down toward them, and - almost effortlessly - they were taking form and blasting away my pursuers.
After some time, the city came under attack by some massive, subterranean claw, which came up out of the ground (Reminiscent of the game Prototype, which is kind of what manuevering through the city felt like, also). I used my lucid powers and drew the spiked appendage back into the ground, only to be met by another one, which came up close by. This one was much bigger than the last; its base probably took up a full, four-lane intersection of the street. After doing away with the beasts, though, my assistance was repaid by the townspeople turning on me again. This time, military helicopters were called in, and I was destroying them in packs (just like in the game).
08/18/2010 (notes)
(I really don't remember this one at all. Not even enough to expand on the notes. So here they are.)
Out in rocky area. With a few other people and small child. Helping child get across river/gap. Made him track. Went down and face planted. Later, tried to pull him back up and whole case came down. Was tilting over, high in the air. launched baby to land on other side. Injured I think.

Dream Frag One:
I was in a fighter jet squad. Each plane had 3, in-line seats, instead of two. I was flying the my plane, at first, but then the plane's original pilot came in and took over control. We flew out to the middle of nowhere, and came upon a high tower. Getting dropped off at around ground level, our team members stormed the building, a huge firefight ensuing as we ran up the tower stairwell. At one point, I seem to become the draw for their fire, as if I was playing diversion, or something. There were piece of a gun scattered around the area, and I had to gather them and try to put a gun together - because, for some reason, I couldn't just pick one up from the bad guys. I ended up finding a rack full of rifles, on one of the higher levels, so I didn't have to stick to working defense anymore.
Don't remember anything after that.
Dream Frag Two:
It was the morning after a house party that I didn't remember. I was younger than I am now. The house was a wreck, and there were still lots of people hanging out. Much like my dream from a few nights ago, I knew my mom would be coming home soon, and she was going to be pissed. I tried to clean up as quickly as I could, but she ended up getting home before I was done. Don't remember what she said, though.
08/20/2010
Fragment:
There was a massive fight, in a surrealistically-large version of my old, Canterbury kitchen. The battle was between TMNT characters. As has usually been the case, I was Leonardo, and it included characters like Splinter, Shredder, Casey Jones. There were two sides to the melee; the regular characters, and alternate, "darker" versions of them as well. The fight was fast and intense, fighters criss-crossing paths with one another, and exchanging opponents. Eventually, it ended up spilling out my back door and into the street, but I don't remember much after that.

"Gunslingin"
I was some version of Owen Wilson's cowboy character in Shanghai Noon/Knights, and I was actually a good gunslinger. I was practicing my moves at first, spinning and swinging my six-shooter around my finger tips, with new gloves on. It felt kind of awkward at first, but I was getting it. Later, I was in some saloon, at night. There was a competition going on, between myself and some other gunfighter. We were doing all these trick shots, like shooting glasses on opposite sides of a table, with our arms crossed. He asked if I was ready for a real challenge, and he pulled out a modern-day super-ball. He launched it around the room, and it continued to bounce from wall to ceiling to floor and back. We let off shots around the room, which was now somewhat empty, without really any regard for where anyone else might have been standing. Again, it was hard to hit the super ball at first, but then I got the hang of it, and I was able to start shooting it out of mid-air.
I remember that I had a scar on my head/face, from something, but I have no idea what.

"Adult Swim"
I was at the beach. There was some idiot guy there, with his infant son. Chest high in the water, he kept flipping his kid around on a floaty pad. Making sure to tip him back up, before the kid stayed under for too long. He was being really passive in his supervision, though, which became evident when he tipped the kid over one last time, and the boy disappeared under the water. The father didn't even notice, and seemed more intent on talking to the people around him. From the shore, we were screaming at the guy that his kid was under the water, and he nonchalantly reaches in and pulls him up. The kid isn't breathing, and some nearby strangers taken upon themselves to take the kid from the father and bring him to shore, where we were running up to meet them. Laying him down in the sand, while the dad looked on, we asked around the group if anyone knew CPR. It became apparent that I was the only one who did. Just as I was about to lean in and start to administer CPR, the kid started coughing and gasping. He was going to be ok.
Dream Frag Two:
Telling mom about the previous dream.
Dream Frag Three:
Very brief lucid. I was battling some entity in and around a huge, haunted house, at night. When the fight went out into the front yard, I remember pitching flashes of lighting out of my hands, and hovering around the grounds.

"Once Death Do Us Part"
I was either married or engaged, and something happened, to where my girl had died. It seems I was inadvertently responsible, and she was holding quite the grudge. She came back, haunting me and trying to kill me. Throughout the nights, I would catch just glimpses of her ghost, in various shadows and mirrors. Every now and then, she would bring and all-out attack on me. There was one point, where I was alone in the house, and suddenly felt the barrel of a gun in my back. Instinctively, and turned around and grabbed for the barrel and, at first, it seemed like it was just the gun, floating in the air. But after I grabbed the barrel, the full apparition of my ex lover materialized before me, holding other end. She was just ruthless, throughout the dream - and kind of reminded me of Mal from Inception, except that she was really snotty and sarcastic. After battling it out with her, over some time, I realized that I was dreaming. After this, she stopped coming around, because when I would see her, I would be less and less afraid of her.
After not being able to really think of anything to do, I decided to call her out. I walked outside of the house, and looked up on the roof, just expecting her to be there. She didn't show up, though. Then, I wondered about her trying to get the drop on me again, and coming up behind me. Quickly, I turned around, and there was a man standing there. This man actually looked like Browning; a character who is also from Inception. Apparently, I knew this guy, from earlier in the dream (but I don't really remember how), and he was speaking as if we were best friends. Then, without warning, he morphed into my deceased ex and attacked me with a knife. Fighting to fend her off, again, I lost lucidity around here. It seems that she was only impersonating the guy I'd met earlier in the dream, because he ended up coming from out of nowhere and helping me fight her off. She retreated, and we decided to team up and figure out a way to get rid of her for good.
We drove out to some swampy area, which turned out to be her grave site. We'd gotten information that the only way to get rid of her ghost would be to destroy her corpse - like something out of the show Supernatural, or something. My partner and I found her body, which was being watched over by her ghost, and there was an epic battle with the apparition. We had a knife and a shotgun (probably a relic, and filled with salt, respectively), and her ghost was zipping around us, with super speed. The battle lasted a short while, and I was able to get into a position where we could get to her body and somehow destroy it - though I don't remember how.
Unfortunately, my partner ended up dying during the fight. And - under similar circumstances - it ended up being inadvertently my fault. Something like his getting caught in crossfire or something. In any case, when I was driving back home, exhausted and alone, I suddenly felt a stone grip around my neck. Struggling to keep the car on the road, I looked into the rearview mirror and saw the, very pissed off, ghost of "Browning." Obviously holding a grudge of his own, he grit his bloody teeth at me, trying with all of his might to strangle me from the backseat.
That's all I remember.

Dream Frag:
All I remember is sitting in a chair, in a friend's room, and their dog trying like Hell to hump my leg.
