There was a city built within high almost "castle like" walls, these walks were built very high to conceal the city. I was walking around with me and a few companions, one of them being my old high school friend. We were searching for the venue hall, as my professor's saxophone quartet was about to play (IRL his quartet is one of the best in the world and is actually performing this weekend across the country).

The walls were stone, the ground was a mix of earth and stone pathways. I kept getting lost trying to find the concert venue.

I remember being with my boyfriend, still in the city but this time we were doing laundry at one of the Laundromats within the confines of the city. We had a LOT of laundry to do. We almost left it unattended because we wanted to go someplace else for some reason, until I spoke up and said that we need to take care of the laundry, and at least get it into baskets before we leave. I think I said something to the effect of "We don't want someone stealing our clothes while we are gone."

I remember running from these large, grey hound-type dogs. They were rabid and vicious. I almost want to say they were the guard dogs of this city, yet they were mistaken in attacking us, perhaps just attacking anything. I remember telling my friends and I to get to higher ground to escape them. We frantically climbed up a smaller wooden wall and stoop upon it while the rabid dog below attempted to jump, snarl and bite at us.

I am in a class room with my HS friend again. We are being passed out worksheets to try and calculate our final grade in the class. I being to fill in the blanks when another classmate, some young blonde girl, tries to tell me that I can't fill in the blanks giving the information I had. I tell her "what do you mean I can't do it? I'm good at math and I can figure it out". She just shrugged and said "Ok then, suit yourself". As I attempted the task again I realize that the numbers I have been given don't add up, and that I cannot complete the assignment like the blonde said.

Then, I was at a pub, or bar, with again one of my HS friends, but a different one this time. We first start off in the very large bathroom behind the counter of the pub. The bathroom was unisex and had many stalls for anyone to use. Just outside the bathrooms were almost "lounge type" areas with couches, TVs, and books for patrons who perhaps did not want to drink could enjoy. I remember sitting at the bar, ordering a drink I don't recall. The bar itself was the color orange, and there was a large pumpkin behind the bar. I remember my friend asking me if we wanted to go sit at a table, I said ok. We went to the back of the dinning area to sit with our drinks and talk. I remember we had to speak about something important, but I don't recall what that was. We look over to the table next to us, a middle age man sat with his young son drinking and being happy. They were very loud, but kind, and they told stories of their adventures together. The older gentlemen noticed us watching them and asked if we would like to join. I think we agreed because we sat down at their table and chatted with them a while.

**That's all I can recall for now**

It's been a few weeks since I've had a lucid dream (even longer since I've written about one).

I remember being transported to the "future" which seemed to follow the ideas of the TV series Fringe, in the way that in this future there are advance humans that have the ability to read your mind, and try to control ordinary citizens with this ability. I remember being in the future with my boyfriend, and a friend of ours. We had gone to an old run down movie theater which apparently we had made long ago to be our "headquarters" for the resistance against these advance mind-reading humans. When I had walked inside, I had found everything to be falling apart and covered in dust. I had also found our faithful dog companion, and it looked like he had been living there for years, waiting for us to return.

I had felt so bad for the dog, as it had looked like he had not been eating well for quite some time. I had decided to get a hold of some dog food to help nurture our friend back to health. All three of us had gotten into a car, where my friend had suggested that I drive. It was at this point that I became somewhat lucid because I had said to her "Are you sure? I'm not really great with driving cars, especially in dreams..." I had shown her the difficulty with driving while in a dream when I tried to stop the car outside a gas station, and had trouble getting the car to come to a complete stop. The car only stopped completely when I had focused my attention and "stopped" it with my mind. I walked into the gas station where I began picking out bags of dog food. It was then that a few of those mind reading humans came into the station, with their guards right behind them. I knew that they would be looking for us, or at least sense us to be suspicious, so while I was attempting to pay for the dog food, to combat the obvious mind reading, I began reciting musical scales in my head. I had to focus all of my will to think only about music, and not anything else to give me away.

The gas station attendant had trouble running my credit card to pay for the dog food, and was obviously nervous about those who had just come in. He was so nervous he just let me have the dog food so that I could get out of there. I quickly left the store and found my friend, she was worried I had been caught. I told her I was fine and that we needed to all get on the next city bus to get away.

I woke up.

After a bit of a dry spell I finally had a lucid dream

I was standing in the security check line at an airport, when I got word that my flight was delayed. I was concerned because my luggage had already been checked and was being processed to be put on the flight. I asked the TSA guy if it was possible to get my luggage back and not have it be put on another flight or have it be lost. (for some reason I didn’t think that it would go with me on the next flight). The TSA guy was being a real dick, not taking my concerns seriously or even paying attention to me. Finally, I had enough, I pulled out my phone and said “sir, could you give me your superior’s extension? I’d like to call them and complain.” The guy just rolled his eyes and said, “Fine, I’ll take you to your luggage.”

He lead me and another woman (don’t know where she came from) to an elevator. We stepped in. The interior of the elevator was a wood grain texture, a very odd style for airport elevators. The other woman and I stood at the back of the elevator while the TSA guy pressed the button for us to ascend. The doors closed, also wood grain texture. As we went up several floors the doors kept opening and closing, while we were going. That was my first tip that something was off. I looked to my left, to see a mirror hanging on the wall. I thought to myself, I wonder if this is a dream. I stepped toward the mirror to look at my reflection. My face was twisted and distorted in the reflection, I knew then that I was dreaming.

I sort of chuckled, and when the elevator doors opened again, I stepped out onto whatever floor was there. As soon as I was out of the elevator, I noticed a collection of people waiting for their flight. Some standing around, some reading news papers. I figured I’d have some fun, so upon approaching the dream characters I began to shout, “gather ‘round people! I’m going to teach you how to fly. We are inside a dream, so come one and all, we are going to fly through the air!” They all were skeptical at first, asking me how one would fly. I told them that in a dream all you have to do is believe in yourself, and never doubt your abilities. I stepped onto a chair and kicked out a window so that we could begin. Even though I had just been in an elevator for several minutes, the floor of which I was on was only a couple stories off the ground. I turned to the man standing next to me and said, “It might be a tad difficult your first time, being only a little ways off the ground, but I find that if you think about flying as if you were “swimming” through the air, that tends to help the process.” And with that statement I kicked off the window frame and out into the air. The man just stood there, in awe.

The dream shifts and I am now with Josie, Aaron, and one other person, possibly Victor. It was weird, because I knew the people before were dream characters, but Josie and Aaron, felt and acted like they were really there. They were acting of their own accord and motives and I couldn’t control them. This lead me to believe that I was possibly dream sharing with them. I kept trying to tell them we were in a dream. “Remember where we are, we are in a court yard of an airport. We are flying around. It’s sunny. Remember because we will talk about it tomorrow.” All of us were having fun, flying around and messing with dream characters. The grass was beautifully green, the sun was shining, it was a truly stunning and detailed dream space. At one point Aaron decided to walk down this sidewalk running through the middle of the court yard, I joined him by flying next to him, just a few feet off the ground. I noticed a man selling some sort of food from a cart at the end of the side walk. As we approached I noticed he was selling ice cream, fudge sickles to be exact. I told the man I wanted one of the bigger chocolate fudge sickles. He asked for money to which I replied, “nah, you’ll give it to me for free.” His response….”ok.”
IRL, I was sleeping on my arm, so I woke up due to lack of blood flow to my hand. LOL Unfortunately, neither Aaron, nor Josie could remember their dreams enough to confirm my theory. Victor, however said that I was in his dream and that we were at some sort of train station, while watching helicopters fly through the air, perhaps we shared a dream….

Really vivid non-lucid dream I had the other night. I think it was either monday night or Tuesday night.

The dream starts off with me and a few of my friends hanging out in my old house on Adolph street in Rockford. Everything inside the house was exactly the way I remembered it as a kid. I remember vividly who all was there (for the sake of this note I'll just notate them with a single letter.) I remember my friends K, S, B, and possibly M being there. We were all just hanging out and talking when for some reason we all decided to step outside. It was mid winter (actual mid winter...with snow on the ground) I don't know why we decided to go outside but that was all forgotten when we noticed something strange going on in the house next door. The main front door was wide open so we could see into the house through the screen door. Inside I could see the silhouette of a skinny woman, pacing around her house and clutching her head as if she were in pain.

Apparently this person was a friend of both K and S and so they let themselves in the house to see what was up. Inside I could hear the woman screaming. I walked inside the house behind them. The layout of the house was not unlike my own next door. The carpet was a strange brownish color, the walls were a fake wood-like look. The couch of this house was placed against the right wall right as you walk into the door, and her TV was directly on the opposite wall. The kitchen and dinning room were further into the house. They were smaller, with one small table for meals. The house itself was dimly lit. I turned to the woman to find that she was abnormally tall. Her limbs were very long and skinny. Throughout the dream I realized that her arms and legs only seemed to grow longer. Her skin was a pale grey, almost dead like. She had long brown hair about down just past her shoulders. She looked like any average woman about my age. She saw that we had come into her house, and didn't even recognize any of us, even K, and S who were supposedly her friends. She didn't even speak to us directly, only pacing around her living room screaming and saying things like "i don't want to die" and just real disturbing things. She would switch from forming complete sentences and thoughts to just speaking gibberish and swearing. All the while she was doing this her face would be contorted and strange. After a few moments of this she sat down on her sofa and just began wailing and saying things like "I will take your soul" but the voice that said this was not her own. Right then I knew exactly what was happening. I found myself to be a little frightened and taken by surprise. Even in non-lucid dreams these types of things don't usually scare me (at least not since I was real young.)

I told everyone to meet me outside of the house. We stepped out onto the porch of the house. I turned to both K and S and before even saying my idea they seemed to beat me to the punch. S turned to me and said "she's possessed isn't she?" I just nodded my head yes. I then replied "but I know what to do." I began gathering some things that I could use for an exorcism, but before I could begin both K and S said that they could handle it, and she was their friend. It almost seemed like they did not believe I had the knowledge and skill to perform such a task. So I said "ok" and stepped back to see what they had planned to do for this situation. All of their efforts seemed useless. After what seemed like several minutes of failure I took them aside and said "look, I think you are going about this all wrong, I've got everything I need here to do this, let me try and if nothing works then you can try again." They agreed and so I began my work. I placed sacred stones around her in a circle along with a sponge like material that was also blessed. I told K and S, "these particular items will absorb the bad energy of the demon, and will prevent it from escape while we help the girl." I then took out some holy water and began an exorcism. The dream kind of blurred beyond then but the next thing I knew the girl was fine, sleeping on her couch. S and K pulled me aside on the porch. All S could say to me was "thank you."

The dream ended.
