Last night wasn't very successful, but here's some words that I felt had to do with my dreams: Wheelchair Field Running Girl Sitting Down Sports
Cute Pet This was the least interesting dream, but still not bad. I was in a room, somewhat like a pet store, but much more open and empty. There was a cage in the room, with lots of small, furry animals in them. They were somewhat like kittens, though smaller, and with shorter tails. I knew that they were the young of whatever animal they were, though. I looked at all of them, then picked the cutest one up and petted it. Caught in the Act I dreamed that my dad had caught me asleep with a bottle of lotion. (Yeah, I'm confused too.) I wasn't sure that he knew, so I put it back where I got it and went about my day. Later that afternoon, he confronts me. For some reason, the fact that there was a bottle of lotion in my bed meant that I was looking at porn. He was telling me how disappointed he was, because we had already had a discussion about this before. Icescape I'm in a relatively enclosed area, maybe four acres total, and open to the sky. All of the ground is covered in ice and snow, and there are lots of hills and crags. Everything has a bluish tint. I enter into a small cave; I'm pretty sure I'm crawling. There's a block of ice blocking a side passage next to me, so I push it through and climb over it. I crawl upwards, until I come to another ice block, which I set on fire until it melts. I crawl through, back into the open air. At this point, I think to myself, "I really need to remember this dream!" However, I don't really become lucid, or at least don't act on it. I then slide down a hill, and start jumping around on pillars of ice, opening chests. For some reason, this reminds me of the Legend of Zelda series. Failed Summoning (LUCID) I wake up in my bed, and without even trying a reality check, I know that I'm lucid. However, I must not be very conscious, or at least I don't remember to do anything that I wanted to or should have done: no stabilization, no attempts for tasks, nothing. I went into the master bathroom of my house, and tried to summon a girl from my school for some reason. I remembered that trying to force your dream to do something will make it unstable, and as soon as I thought that, it did. Of course. Everything got dark, and I don't remember anything else.
I remember three dreams; two fragments, and one longer dream. First, the fragments: 1) I'm playing the new Pokemon game, which I strange, because I haven't played Pokemon in years. It's a lot of fun, and has pretty good graphics. Go figure. 2) My orthodontic permanent retainer, which goes behind my teeth, has broken and cracked in a bunch of different places. I'm worried about how to hide it. This, minus the hiding, somewhat reflects a waking life situation from a week or so ago, where one of the brackets broke. Now, for the relatively more vivid dream: Backyard I'm in the backyard of what I guess is a daycare of sorts; physically, none of the people here are young children, but that's what the situation feels like. We're going to eat lunch outside, and I grab a drink from the cooler. The backyard is fairly large, with a few tall trees, a brick or concrete sitting area (maybe 20 by 20 feet), and all around of it grass and more trees. I can't recall an end to it, but on one side is the building itself, which is one story tall and not too wide. I can't tell how far back it goes. There are several other people sitting and standing around, though I don't recognize them. I walk along the middle of the brick section. What I had taken to be leaves on the ground, I now realize are GIANT SPIDERS!!!! I have no idea where my subconscious thought that one up, because I'm not particularly afraid of spiders, nor have I thought much about them recently. Anyways, these things looked like blown up daddy longlegs, but the size of a dinner plate, I-kid-you-not. I moved towards one, and it jumps at least twenty feet into the air (I decided it had pulled itself up on a web really really fast. Genius me) before floating back down. I moved a good distance out of the way, because I didn't want it to land on me. Next, I'm playing with some sort of legos or blocks with a couple of other kids. Clean-up time is called, so we begin to put everything up. We get done, except that I have a collect of four, rainbow colored plastic semi-transparent cups that I have no idea what to do with. I take them over by the cooler, to someone I do recognize: I'll call him TR. He seems to be somewhat in charge, so I ask him, "Where should I put these cups?" He becomes annoyed, and says, "Why didn't you put those away earlier?" I argue that I didn't have them earlier, then give them to him. End of dream.
Recall for me as of late has been, to say the least, sporadic. I'm thinking it's because, during the school week, I'm probably not getting quite enough sleep, or maybe not steady enough, but I'm not sure what I can do about that. Last night in particular, I remembered two dream fragments. In the first fragment, I'm in a huge city, walking around with a gang of kids. (Think the beginning of Ender's Shadow.) The buildings tower over us, and I don't think I can see the tops of them. This is kind of interesting, because as I fell asleep, I tried to visualize a building that I could take an elevator in; I wonder if that affected this dream. Anyways, there are six or seven other kids along with me, and all of us are young-ish; I think the oldest one was about 10 years old. I'm also pretty sure we walked under an overpass at some point. The second was less of a full-fledged dream and more of just an image: when my alarm went off, I dreamed that the beeping was actually my computer, and that the screen of the computer was actually melting. Or maybe melting isn't quite the right word; it was oozing an orange goo. After a few seconds, though, I woke up. For the first few seconds when I awoke, things looked weird (my clock looked wrong, things were blurry), and I was sort of confused and thought I might still be dreaming, but I wasn't and on second glance things looked normal.
08.09.2010Dating (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I've again not had very good recall the past couple of nights. I really should write stuff down when I wake up, either from an alarm or naturally, because I always forget what I dreamed of by morning. Anyways, this dream was one of those where, when you remember it, you feel really sad because it wasn't true, no matter how possible or not it is. I'm in some situation, with a friend who I've had a crush on in the past, though never dated. She admits to me that she really has feelings for me, and I tell her the same. We hug. Next, there's a sort of series of scenes, where we're very happy together. The dream ends, or fades into another.
05.09.2010Bodyguard and the Mayor (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I'm in what appears to be a warehouse or small factory. There is a large firefight going on around me, and I have a gun. I have the impression that I just entered through a door behind me, though I don't know what I was doing before that. I am not my waking-life self, but someone taller and stronger. I may or may not be an android or some sort of super-human, I'm not sure. I am a bodyguard for the mayor, who, for some reason, I know I need to get upstairs past the people I'm fighting with. I do, however, have others on my side. I take the Mayor across the main large room, which has a balcony above, into a side hallway. There are even more 'enemies' here, who I quickly shoot down. We enter into a sort of service elevator, which a make go to the second floor. We come out onto the walkway around the main room. I then jump back down for some reason, and continue to fight. The dream scene changes. That scene might have been somewhat inspired by Wanted, which I saw yesterday. I'm now sitting on the bleachers of my high school gym, with the newly elected 'mayor' of my high school and a few of our friends sitting next to us. I'm not thinking this is related to the mayor from the earlier dream scene, other then in name. This mayor is more like the class president or a similar office. I'm dissappointed that I wasn't elected instead of this guy, who is really shy and quiet. I decide to leave, and walk out with one of my friends, who tells me that it's alright. The dream ends or transitions into another.
