I am in college and on the basketball team, only I’m not one of the players but the mascot. I don’t know what school or team it is, all I know is that I have to dress up in this chicken outfit. I’m talking the full get up, the kind you see at Disney world with the big heads and everything. I’m in a changing room with Janice Dickinson (surreal life 5 and first super model) and jordy from star trek. I am trying to explain to them that I am having trouble attaining lucidity in my dreams and that I am getting frustrated. Jordy, Janice and I are all apart of the pep team for the basket ball team and were pretty bad at it. Our coach decides to give us all a little motivation by flying in people who are important to us, people from our past. For me, the coach brought in an ex-girlfriend of mine from five years back. Her name is Mary and we were together for about four years. Mary is the only woman I dated who I can say I really loved. I see her and run to her. I give her a big hug and tell her how much I’ve missed her. This all happened right before we are supposed to go out for a game. I return to the changing room and attempt to get ready but I can’t find my shoes anywhere. I’m running around like crazy trying to locate them. I decide to quit the team. Why do I need to be a stupid mascot? Mary’s here and she’s all I want. I run out to find her and get hurried onto a train with the rest of the pep crew and team to travel to an away game. The train begins to shake and rattle uncontrollably. It was like being on a train and in an earthquake at the same time. I feel like my surroundings are just going to come ripping apart all around me. The train finally stops and we all get out. I’m standing across from a museum. The name of the museum is “Africa”. I awake.
I have already woken up four or five times by this point and have been able to fall right back to sleep. This time I am fully awake and write everything down in my dream journal. Upon going back to sleep I tell myself that I am going to go back to the same dream that I was having. It will be my first attempt at a mnemonic initiated lucid dream. So as I drift off I am trying to imagine the scene prior to one I had when I awoke. I’m thinking of the train scene and about getting to Mary. I drift off. Instead of being on the train, I find myself outside the museum. The images are very vague and I’m not sure if I am dreaming or just in a very relaxed state exercising an over active imagination. I am somewhat aware of my purpose of finding Mary and not sure If I am sleeping.
