Krista's Dream Journal

Dream - Lucid - AP

I was trying to sleep, but I couldn't. I was not happy about that because I had to be up at 5 to be at work. I was extremely tired.

Then, I remember waking up, and my roommate, Tavia (a girl I used to work with, was never actually my roommate in waking life), who slept next to me, had left me a note saying she went home because she had a migraine. I was sad, because then I was alone. But I still had to get up in the morning, so I needed to try to sleep more.

I remember something about renting videos and books at a video rental place, and them being overdue. I wondered why I rented 2 books when I knew I couldn't have finished either of them before they were due back.

Then, I was laying in bed in my dark room again, with my laptop on. It was about midnight, and I was talking to my friend and coworker, Virginia, on some sort of blog site. She was telling me why she was up so late. She had to work with me in the morning too. I told her I just couldn't sleep. I think she said something about my last close being really good.

Then, I remember being in the car with some fat guy my age. We were sitting in the back seat while someone else drove. It was daytime. We were talking about giving blood. I told him I couldn't even if I wanted to because I don't weigh enough (a conversation I've had with many people many times in waking life). I remember looking at some sheet with weights on it saying how much blood you could give per weight. Someone asked why you would want to give blood anyway.

I was still extremely tired because I hadn't slept, and started to fall asleep in the car. I closed my eyes, and the fat guy sitting next to me started to lightly trace my lips and face with his fingers, and said
"I wish you didn't smoke cigarettes..."

I then felt myself "fall asleep" and thought I was entering a dream. I was actually waking up for real. I was relieved that I had actually slept.

I was at home. I remember my brother being there. The movie Leprachaun was on TV, though I doubt it was the actual movie (I've never seen it in waking life). It was in black and white, and started with some dude wanting his girlfriend to go down on him. I stopped watching it, because I knew it was a bloody movie, and I can't stand bloody horror movies.

Then, I got on my laptop, and the movie popped up. I couldn't close out of it, no matter what I did. In fact, the movie was on every TV and computer in the nation, and everyone had to watch it. I tried and tried, but I couldn't close out of the movie. I said something about not wanting to see it.

I was laying in bed, looking at my ceiling. I looked at my air vent, which was right above my bed (it's not above my bed in waking life), and there were two ladybug-looking beetles on it, each sitting on opposite sides of the vent. They were red with black spots. I noticed that the one on the left was male, and the one on the right was female. I kept going to sleep and waking up with them still being there. I was confused, I didn't think my air vent was right above my bed. I, however, accepted that it was.

I noticed the male going over to the female. He mated with her.
"Great," I thought, "that thing is going to lay eggs in my room."
I wondered how long it would take for that to happen. I remember calling my brother in at some point to show him the beetles.

Then, there were more beetles, some big, some tiny. They all looked different too; they were differend colors and such. I remember one being huge with a flat, white body with some light blue markings on it. All of the beetles were trying to mate with one another. A tiny one crawled into the back end of the big flat one. I then saw inside of the flat one; it was all mechanical. The tiny one was trying to implant something inside of it. I noticed that the tiny one had a human, female head.

Then, they all fell from the vent and turned into my friends. I remember one being Rachel. There was a reason for this, but I can't remember it. I knew they would eventually turn back, though. They all seemed dazed, but happy. They almost had a blissful, naive look. I then remember them being in the kitchen. Something about having to feed them.

Then, I remember being in my car, driving. It was pre-dawn, and I had left the house to drive around for some reason. I thought about me turning off the house's security system so I wouldn't set it off while leaving. I was in a really bad part of town. I saw a couple drunkenly fighting ouside a trailer. There was trash scattered all over the yards and the roads. I remember, at some point, being out of my car, but I knew I was in a horrible part of town, and was suddenly back in the car. I knew I needed to turn around.

I was at a hookah bar with some of my friends. We were in a foreign country. The sky looked like it might storm. I looked up, and saw a huge flock(?) of flying starfish. They were flying with their arms. They had their formation set up so the middle formed a big, empty star. They were keeping the star intact as they flew. I pointed them out to the friend that was with me. I knew that these creatures were native to where I was.

Then, we were inside with our waitress, who was seating us at the hookah bar. There were a few people there, but I noticed a little later that they had all left. We were then outside, getting seated. I remember my friends Kayla and Caitlin being there. They wanted to sit out there, but it was very windy, and the clouds looked ominous. We were moving tables around so we could fit everyone in. I remember Caitlin wanting to split a hookah with me, while the other people had their own hookah. I opted that we sit inside, because it looked stormy.

We went inside, but then I noticed we were still outside. There were many more of us now, I remember Brittany being there too. We moved again, and were finally inside. We were all sitting at our tables, which were pushed together to accomodate us. While we had only started out with 4 or 5 people, there were now 8 or 9. We got our hookah, which looked odd; it had two seperate parts sitting seperate of each other; the hose was attached to one part, and the water vase was completely seperate. Oh well, I thought, I guess that's how they do it here.

The hookah went around a couple of times (we were smoking tobacco, by the way). I was sitting by Brittany. She took a hit, and had the hose positioned weirdly, so the mouthpiece outlined part of her face. She passed it to me, and I took a hit. It was very hard for me to breathe in for some reason. I took another hit, and passed it. It went around again, and got to Brittany, and she laughed and said
"It's out! Hahaha...I knew that would happen. It's out!" I knew we should have gotten two hookahs.

Then, the clouds came down on us. The ceiling wasn't covered all the way, and some cloud leaked in. I took a huge chunk of it. It was like sunset clouds, colored orange and pink, and felt like cotton candy.

I must be dreaming! I got up and walked off, going outside. I saw a house that I wanted to enter. I walked in, and I knew the family inside only spoke Spanish. I told them they had a beautiful house. They seemed ok with me walking in. In fact, in their culture, they didn't care who walked in, the door was open to anyone. I walked around, admiring the royal blue tiled countertops and the rest of the house.

Then, I woke up. I didn't move, and went back to sleep.

I was lucid in the house again. I was scolded by one of the male family members for something, though I don't remember what. I think it had something to do with me coming into the house. I started to feel everything around me, feeling for the vividness. The refrigerator felt so real. So did the beautiful countertops. I touched everything around me.

Then, I woke up again.

I was on the computer, and Austin wanted to come pick me up for lunch. He said he was on his way. I told him to give me an hour, because I had to get ready or something.

Dream - Lucid - AP

I was at work. It was daytime. There was a customer in there being a giant douchebag to everyone. He turned out to be some super villian, kind of like The Penguin in Batman. I was trying to ignore his antics, when I spotted him trying to pick a fight with another customer by the door. I yelled
"Hey! HEY!"
He, and everyone else in the shop, got silent and stared at me. I continued to yell
"We don't treat each other like that here. If you're going to, then you can get the fuck out!"
I turned around and walked away, fuming. My voice had sounded a little hoarse, but I think he (and everyone else) got the point. People started clapping and cheering.

Then, I turned around, and the guy was vomitting on the carpet. He was doing it to be a douchebag again. He acted like he was actually sick. His vomit was green and vile-looking. I gagged.

Then, I saw one of my friends, Katie, walking in the parking lot towards the shop. She looked happy, and was walking a little dog. I turned to whoever I was standing next to and said
"How much you wanna bet Katie's gonna see that and throw up?"
Katie came in, saw the vomit on the carpet, and she gagged.

Then I remember talking to someone about how the villian was my neighbor, and my dad was a villian too, but he acted normal. It was weird. I talked about him going over to talk to the neighbor, and acting all normal about it, as if I didn't know what was going on.

Then, I felt myself transition into another dream. I then knew it was a dream. I was in the bonus room of my house, and decided to take charge of the dream, and try to get to Teraluna. I rubbed my hands together, and the dream got more vivid. I had never tried that before in a dream. I asked my dream guide, whom I still have yet to meet, to help me get to Teraluna. I started drawing a portal with my finger in midair. The edges didn't meet, so I had to fix it so the edges met. I tried to walk through it, and it got dark for a minute, but I was still in my house.

I then decided to try creating a portal on the wall. I thought that may be a bit easier. I drew a portal with my fingers, and touched it, concentrating on where I wanted to go. The portal rippled, then glowed with a white light. When the light disappeared, the portal was a golden door with intricate patterns carved into it. In the very middle, there was an eye. It looked like a real eye. I would compare it to a glass eye set in the middle of the door. I touched the top left corner of the door and concentrated on where I wanted to go. I then touched the eye.

The door didn't open, but I was then in the catacombs of some ancient Egytptian structure. There were other people there too, running around. There was also fast, Egyptian-style music playing. It was slmost kind of video game-esque.

Well, it's not Teraluna, but I decided to explore anyway. The room was dimly lit by torches on the wall. I ran through the bottom of this catacombs, and decided I needed to look the part. I looked down, and was wearing sandals on my feet, and Egyptian robes fluttered as I ran. Too awesome, I thought. Too awesome. I tried to enlongate my hair by feeling the ends and trying to imagine more hair, but for some reason, I couldn't do that.

I then remember seeing msyelf in a mirror. My robes were red and off-white. They were very flowy. I thought that was really neat, and I started to dance. I danced for a little bit, then decided to keep going.

I then remember being on a different floor of this catacombs-type place. I was looking over a balcony that went to the bottom floor. Things were a little more well-lit. On the bottom floor, I could see Chinese acrobats making a human pyramid. The floor down there was white. I decided to float down to the bottom. I felt like I was getting closer to my goal.

Then, I was standing in front of another door. I started to feel myself wake up. I did not want to, so I started to imagine myself on a beach on Teraluna, with the ocean spray in my face. Everything was black, as I felt the sensations I was imagining. I tried to open my eyes, but my real eyes started to open instead. I quickly shut them, and was then in small room with royal blue-tiled walls that had black markings in the middle of the tiles. It had tall ceilings. I saw a Coke machine on the left wall. Strange.

In the middle of the room stood Hyu. I walked up to him and gave him a hug. I looked at his face. It was so detailed. I looked into his eyes, and they were a very clear blue, almost turquoise. I started to see the glare in the corner of my vision, indicating that I was going to wake up. I did not want to again, and refused to by covering up the eye that the glare was coming from. The glare went away, and I was fully immersed in the dream again.
"You smell spooky"., said Hyu.
I told him that made sense, since I had been in the ancient Egyptian place. We continued to hug.
"Don't go nattin' on me.", he said, whatever that meant. I understood it to mean "Don't kiss me,"or something. I laughed and said he didn't have to worry about that. I was just happy to see him.

Then, I awoke. I could still feel us hugging.

I remember being at my old piano teacher's house. I then remember seeing some weird interstate exits, but they were only smaller, artistic models of them. They looked like slides with moving conveyer belts, and some blocks randomly placed on them. 2 girls slid down them, and hurt themselves as they hit the blocks that were in the middle of them.

I then remember seeing some old warehouse behind Goody's (clothes store). It was being advertised as a great place for kids to have birthday parties at, becuase you could put anything you wanted in them. I saw a skateboard ramp in there, and some arcade games.

Then, I walked around and saw my old friend, Alex, laying on a couch. he was wearing a grey sweat suit. I asked him if he was ok, and he said he had been sick. I told him to feel better, but instead of calling him Alex, I called him Dawson. I didn't realize my mistake until later, and I texted him and told him I was sorry for calling him the wrong name.

Then, I woke up in a car. I looked at my phone. it was it was 4 o'clock pm. I knew I was dreraming, because that was ridiculous. I got out of the car, and was in a city that was overlooked by hills. I approached a female DC who was walking down the street. I asked her a question, and she started to answer. Unfortunately, during her answer I woke up.

I quickly went back to sleep and re-entered the dream. I was still with the DC. Everything was black and white at first, then filled with color. I told the DC I was sorry, I was back, and she could continue talking. I remember flying at some point.

Then, I got distracted and lost lucidity and did who knows what till I woke up.

Dream - Lucid - AP

I was in a dorm room, and I had apparently moved to that one from an old one. My friends had already set up my stuff around my bed. All I really had to do was put my sheets and blankets on the bed. I remember Caitlin being one of my roommates, but I can't remember who the other one was.

I also remember seeing all these dolls scattered around the room. They were actually more like female figurines than dolls. They were there for decorative purposes. I started moving them around, placing them in different places, trying to figure out which ones should go around which roommate; seeing which ones fit best with their personalities.

I remember there also being a water bed in the room. It was the biggest of the 3 beds, a full-size. Mine and the other one were twin-sized beds. The other roommate said something about it being nasty and moldy, because the water had been sitting in it for so long. Around the edges it looked kind of gross too. I remember Caitlin coming in and laying on it, but laying under her own covers as opposed to the covers already on the bed. I thought it was gross, and I felt like she should have been grossed out about it. I was going to ask her why she took that one, but then I remembered that no one else wanted it either, and the other 2 beds were already taken.

I then remember seeing some more figurines sitting on a side table by my bed. They were Peanuts figurines. I vividly remember Marcy and Snoopy being two of them. I took those two figurines and placed them side by side on a coffee table by Caitlin's bed. Both the figurines then looked like they were sliding on their stomachs. They had their eyes closed. Someone commented on how they looked good there.

I also have notes in my journal about there being a movie on the TV in the dorm about a suicidal hit man, but for the life of me, I can't remember what went on. I vaguely remember that part of the dream.

I also remember talking to a lady with heart-shaped irises. The colors in her eyes looked marbled; the colors were a honey-yellow and a dark green. I thought about my dream with Hyu, but then dismissed my current situation to be waking life (dammit).

~

I was at an indoor pool. There were a few other people there. I saw a big, beautiful butterfly flying out to the water. I pointed the butterfly out to whoever I was talking to. Its wings looked like silk; the top was a light purple, the middle a light green, and the bottom an off-white. It landed on the water.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the butterfly had a female human head and face. I still called her a butterfly, but now, I can see that she was much more like a fairy. She had a small hat on as well, that looked like it was part of a flower. She swam in the water of the pool, keeping her wings out of the water. I then remember seeing her all the way in the water, wings and all. I hoped that didn't impair her ability to fly. She got out of the water, and asked a man for a towel. When she got out of the pool, I saw she had a whole human-like body, though she was quite small.

Then, my brother was trying to get a snake out of the pool with a net. I commented on this, saying that I had seen the snake earlier. He got it out. He walked over to me, and I looked at it. It was a green snake, and wasn't poisonous. It opened it's mouth, exposing its fangs, and hissed. My brother tried to pick it up out of the net, but got bit. He kept getting bit, and I could tell he was in pain, but he was determined to pick the snake up out of the net. I kept telling him to stop. He finally got ahold of its head, so it couldn't open its mouth to bite.

~

I was sitting at my family's electric piano that we have in waking life. My brother was sitting there with me. He switched the sound setting to 'strings', and held down a note in the higher range. As he held it down, I started to hear sound effects. How had we not discovered this before? He held down another high note, and "Marche Slave" by Tchaikovsky started to play. We played that song in high school in waking life. I got excited, and pointed out that it was "Marche Slave", but I could tell that people around us were getting annoyed. I experimented with some notes in the lower range, and then stopped.

Then, I was moving in with a man who frequents the coffee shop who has a history of severe depression in waking life. Tabita, a girl I work with, was moving out. She was explaining to me some things about moving, about what to do and expect.

I then remember waking up in bed at his house, but I was sleeping in a separate bed from the customer. I was trying to remember whether or not I had to work that day, then remembered it was Thursday, and I don't work on Thursdays. I wanted to sleep in some more, but I got up. I saw the customer's bed in the next room.

I then remember sitting at the kitchen table with the customer. His hair was an absolute mess, and he was wearing a dirty white undershirt. He started to talk to me about his morning routine, and work and such. I was thinking to myself that I was going to have to be careful, and deal with his depression very carefully.

Dream - Lucid - AP

All I remember from my first few dreams of the night is me walking around outside at night, in a city I believe. I remember Ryan being in part of the dream, and me ordering food at some restaurant. I also remember repeatedly taking large doses of ibuprofen throughout the dream, because I was in pain (I was really in a lot of pain last night in waking life, and it came into my dreams big time ).

I even remember a false awakening in which I took another large dose of ibuprofen.

In fact, when I woke up, I was hesitant to take anything, because I couldn't remember when I really took my last waking life dose of ibuprofen. -_-

~

I was in a chemistry lab at school. I was sitting at a lab table with 3 other people, one of them I remember being someone I went to high school with, Zach. We had to do a project which involved taking data, doing some calculations, and making graphs. We then had to present the information to the class.

I remember talking to Zach about it a little. I also remember being on my laptop, typing out my data and putting it into a huge chart. The chart format made perfect sense to me. I printed it out, and was all ready to present. I showed it to someone at the lab table the next time I was in class, and one of the girls at the table told me that everyone was going to get a zero because I wasn't supposed to use a chart. I got upset about this, because I had worked very hard on it.

Then, I remember being in the middle of a mall or some sort of lobby area. I remember being at a kiosk computer and seeing an escalator in the background. My friend Rachel was with me. I told her the situation, and she asked to see the project. I pulled it up on the computer. She told me I should be fine as long as I had calculated the N-2. I showed her where I did that, and she said I should be ok and to not worry about it. I remember contemplating skipping my classes that day. I had already planned on skipping my first couple of classes. I remembered that I needed to turn in that report in one of my last classes, however.

Then, I remember an old lady approaching Rachel and I. I was holding a cup of water. She wanted to show us something in her room. We were then in her house, and Rachel and I were racing to get to her room. We were laughing as we ran. When we entered, I knocked into something and spilled a lot of my water on the floor. I didn't want to tell the lady, since it was only water. I tapped the wet area with my bare foot to feel if it was very wet, and it was only a little damp.

The lady's bed was right in front of us, and the room was dimly lit by only a little sunlight leaking through the blinds. The lady sat in the corner and talked to us. She asked us if we wanted to see her "robin room", which was a room in which one could observe robins through the window. It took the place of modern day things like TVs, video games, etc. I was excited about this, because I had "remembered" my grandma having one in her old house. It was also very rare for homes to have those anymore. Rachel and I both told her yes. The lady wheeled across the room in her rolling desk chair, right over the area I spilled water on. She didn't notice the spill. She did something that opened the wall up into this attic-type room with two plushy looking chairs in the middle, with a small window at the very top of the high wall. It looked old and cozy. I told her my grandma used to have one of those "robin rooms" in her old house.

Then, the room raised into the ceiling, as if it had only been a backdrop for a play, and I saw this huge scene that looked like something from Charlotte's Web. It had Charlotte singing to the pig about being happy, and lots of happy barnyard animals joining along. I remember one of the 7 dwarfs being in the loft of the barn, and an old man working on something up there. It had an animatronic feel to it. It was weird.

Then, I had an FA in which I got up out of bed, thinking about the "robin room" and still thinking it was real. My room was rather empty; barely any furniture was in it. I walked over to my closet, and my mom walked into my room. I asked her if she remembered grandma's "robin room", and she said, happily and thoughtfully,
"Well...yeah!" She smiled.

Then I really woke up. I'm skipping all my classes today too to catch up on some work and to rest...I feel absolutely out of it.

Dream - Lucid - AP

I was dating my coworker, Dakota, who is gay in waking life. I was also still dating Ryan as well. In the dream, I thought it was weird that Dakota and I were dating, because he's gay. I remember us kissing in the dream. I kept thinking about how weird it was that we were dating and he was gay. I felt like I must be a cover-up or something, though he is out of the closet in waking life.

I then remember getting ready to go to prom. Ryan and Dakota were going with me. One of them picked me up from somewhere, but I had to go back to my house to get ready. It was nighttime. I told them I wasn't going to dress too fancy, and it wouldn't take me too long to get ready. They parked in front of my house, and as I was entering through the front door, I saw a shiny red sports car in the driveway, with two ghetto-looking black men sitting in it. A little black boy with crazy hair got out, and started to approach the house. I knew what he was going to do: He was going to try to tell my family that his dog was lost, and try to exploit money out of them somehow. I knew he saw me go inside, so he knew someone was home. I entered the house and I remember hearing my brother say that no one should answer the door if the bell rang. The little boy rang the doorbell continuously for awhile, and my mom finally answered the door. As I went up the stairs, I was wondering why she did that, because she was going to get exploited.

I started getting ready for prom. I looked in my closet, and saw some very beautiful dresses that I didn't really remember having. My mind came up with why I had them, however. They were dresses that I had bought for a different prom or event, but ended up not going to. My actual prom dress from high school was in there as well. I ended up picking out this beautiful, strapless black and white dress. It was floor length. I put it on, and went to my dresser and started looking for some jewelery to wear with it. I found a pair of earrings that were dangley and sparkley. I thought they would look perfect with the necklace I wanted to wear. I put them on, but they looked funny. They looked almost like they were made out of hemp. I took them off.

Then, we were at prom. There were two dance rooms: One that was for calmer dancing, and one that was like a nightclub. The calm one was in a gymnasium, and all the lights were on, and the music was pretty calm too. It was to the left. To the right was the nightclub. It was dark with lights flashing and dance music pumping. I went into the calm one for a little bit.

I came out, and realized that I hadn't bought any tickets to this prom. There was a table of middle-aged people, parents I suppose, taking tickets. They were in between the two dance rooms. They didn't seem to notice that we hadn't given them any tickets. Everyone who had tickets had blue wristbands on. Ryan, Dakota and I did not have the bands. I started to talk to Ryan about this, saying that we needed to be careful, or we'd get kicked out.

Then, the music stopped, and people started to clear both of the dance rooms. I saw the calm one clearing out, well, calmly. I thought they were taking a break or something. I then saw some cheerleaders in there practicing some routine. The coach was there as well. I looked at my phone: It was only 5:45pm. Wow, they stopped early, I thought. I wondered why they had stopped. I think it was because someone was in there that wasn't supposed to be (us maybe?). I remember then being with Ryan and Dakota in the lobby by the ticket takers.

I was seeing some cartoon of these owls. They were in a castle. They were also different colors, like purple and blue. One smaller one, a child, was telling the king and another owl that he wanted to get taken seriously, and for him not to call him some name anymore. The king said something, can't remember what, but his eyes were all teared up. Then, when the view went back to him, his feathers were all fuzzed out. He commented on this.

Then, I remember the child talking to another child as they left the area where the king was. The other child told him that he didn't think that the king would listen to his requests to stop calling him whatever he was calling him. The child that talked to the king commented on the king's teary eyes, something about how he looked sad.

Dream - Lucid - AP

All I remember from this dream is that I was talking to two guys about shared dreaming, or something about dream interpretation. I was asking them some questions. I felt like they had some sort of authority on the subject.

~

I made some weird apple drink. It looked just like apple juice. I made it in one of the tall, clear glasses we use at work for our cold drinks. I put it in a bag to take with me wherever I was going. I thought the drink was going to taste amazing. I remember one of the ingredients being apple cider vinegar. When I got to where I was going (can't recall where that was), I took the drink out of my bag. I looked at it, and thought that there was ice in it, when really, there wasn't. There were, however, croutons floating at the top of the glass.

I took a sip and immediately spit it out. It wasn't near as delicious as I thought it was going to be. It almost tasted like warm, sweet pickle juice. I tried it again, and spit it out. Another girl was next to me, and said something about the drink.

Then, I was outside somewhere. I was with my friend from work, Nate. We went down this path that went down a hill, and came across this bicycle. It was purple and flowery. Nate said he was going to take it. He took it, then went home.

Then, my boss found me at the bottom of the hill. She asked me something about Nate stealing a bike. I said I was there for it, but I wasn't going to go get it from him or turn him in. She got really upset with me; I think she suspended me from work. I didn't care though; I didn't want Nate to get in trouble.

Then, I remember trying to find Nate. I found his house. There was a pick-up truck parked outside in a gravel driveway. I remember being very happy to see Nate. I told him about my boss.

~

I was with my family, and we were going on a vacation. I think we were in the Bahamas. At any rate, I know we were on an island. We were staying in a little vacation home at the edge of the island. We were standing on the beach outside the home. There was a man with us, showing us around and showing us the vacation home. He told us to be careful at night if we were going out, because the wolves came out at night. I remember pondering how people even went out at night there because of that.

Then, I remember being inside the vacation home, close to the front door. It was nighttime, and my mom opened the door from outside. She was trying to get me to help her fight off this wolf that had followed her to the door. At that moment, the wolf bounded through the door, and jumped on me. He had me pinned against the wall. I was pretty scared. I remember feeling his gray fur against my hands, as I tried to push him off. I remember feeling his weight against me, and how heavy and bulky he felt. I don't remember who got the wolf off of me, but someone did.

Then, I remember my old friend/an ex, Jake, being there. I told him about the wolves. A lot of the time he was there, I remember him acting childish and pouty. I don't remember much else about him being there though.

~

I was outside, in what looked like my old high school's courtyard. It was very cloudy and windy outside. Kacey was with me. I had a binder in my hands, and was holding it above my head. This was causing me to float through the air when the wind blew under it. Kacey had a balloon, and was using that to do the same thing. She told me to try it. I got a balloon, and floated around with Kacey as the wind blew us. We were laughing and having a great time, as the wind would take us high into the air, and then back down.

Then, I had to go back inside to take a Data Analysis test (this class is on my mind a lot, apparently). I entered the classroom, and it was HUGE, way bigger than my actual Data Analysis classroom. There were also many, many more people, and two professors were teaching it, as opposed to one. I remember one of them being an older man with gray hair. He was going bald. All of the tables and seats in the classroom were white.

I sat down in the back of the classroom to take the test. I thought I had been very prepared, but as I took the test, I didn't feel near as confident as I thought (this actually happened a few days ago in waking life, though not to this extreme of an extent). I was one of the first ones done, so I got up and left. I went into the hallway to find my balloon, but it was gone. I tried to get another one from someone. They gave it to me, but I went back into the classroom and left it, hoping that it would still be there when I returned.

Everyone was still sitting down, even though many were done with the test. I figured I probably needed to stay as well. I went back to my seat. There was a black woman sitting next to me. She was still working on her test. My test was still sitting in front of me. There was a stack of tests in the middle of the table we were sitting at. I started to compare my answers to some of the answers on the test on the top of the stack. Hmm...mine seemed way off. I also didn't remember doing the last extra credit problems that everyone else had filled out. I looked, and I had done them. Whew. I then saw other people had the plus/minus sign next to a lot of their answers. Shit, I meant to do that, but forgot. I then was trying to remember if there was a question about confidence intervals, because I thought that was supposed to be on the test. I put my test on the top of the stack, turning it over first so no one could see the answers. Well, that didn't work, because apparently, I had done my test in red pen, and it had bled through to the other side. The black lady sitting next to me asked me if the last problem was way off. She drew a half of a box around my bottom answer in red pen to indicate what she was talking about. I shrugged.

Then, the tests were taken up. We all had to stand up and listen to the old man professor talk. There were boxes of cinnamon rolls in some of the seats around us (and yet again, work creeps into my non-work related dream). The boxes were a clear turquoise/teal-ish color. A girl next to me opened one of the boxes, and broke a piece off of a cinnamon roll, and snuck it in her purse. I thought about doing the same; I started to open a box, but decided not to at the last minute. I then thought that since she had done it, others that saw her would follow suit, as that is only human nature. I then saw a few other people doing the same thing.

We were filing out of the classroom, and there were balloons people were taking. I wanted one, but by the time I got up to where they were, they had all been taken. My other one was also gone. Bummer.

Dream - Lucid - AP

All I remember from this dream is being with my high school ex, Brett, sitting on some white platform, and "falling through time". It was really strange, I remember sitting with him and the platform literally falling downwards. I felt my stomach go into my throat, as it feels when you really fall. I never was afraid though. I remember also setting a clock back a few years. It was a white clock that looked like a cuckoo clock. There was a dial you pulled to set the year. His dad was somewhere in there too.

~

I was in a hotel room, sleeping in a bed. I remember pondering the meaning of my last dream. I "figured it out", but I can't remember what it was. It was something about Brett moving on with his life or something, but it had nothing to do with the falling through time part of the dream, it was a part I can't even recall.

I was then with a whole bunch of guys in a car. We were going to some show. I hitched a ride with them because my friend Caitlin wanted me to see TRL Live with her (weird), and I didn't have any other way to get there.

I then remember being in a huge hotel room with a TON of other people. We were all sitting in chairs at these little tables. I remember a girl I work with, Julie, being there. I had to use the bathroom, but people kept getting up to go. I finally got my chance, and on the bathroom door there was a sign that Julie had made: it said "16 and up only!".

Then, I knew I needed to go home because I had work the next day at 6:30 in the morning, but the group of guys was going to stop in Ohio first to drop some people off. I said I couldn't do that, because I had work. They looked at me as if to say "Oh...Sorry, can't do that." My mom was there, and I told her, and she said she'd find a way for us to get home in time for me to get to work. I remember us going down to the front desk to turn in our room keys, and the guy that was manning the desk was telling me that it would be an extra fee since I was cancelling my room reservation early. I was agreeing with him; I didn't care, I just needed to get home.

I was with a couple of other people. I'm not sure exactly where we were, but we were watching a strange movie. It started out with a guy laying in a canyon in a desert, who had no arms or legs. He was bleeding out his stumps, and moaning for help. He had been attacked by a dinosaur. I commented at this point:
"This is really gross.", I said.

Then, a girl came up to him. Apparently, she was known for seducing guys who were in a vulnerable place. She tried to help him. Now, I was seeing from her POV. I laid down with my legs by his so they looked like they were his legs. He hallucinated and thought they were, and put his stumps down on her legs, and screamed in agony as more blood seeped out of them. I had to look away at this point.

Apparently, she wasn't trying to seduce him. I then remember the end, with them walking together, and him having his arms and legs sewed back on. I had thought they were gone, and I asked someone if the girl had saved his limbs. I don't remember the answer I got.

Then, I remember something about it being a Christian movie.

I was in the parking lot outside the auditorium at my college. It was daytime, and I was walking to my class, but I needed to change clothes first for some reason. I started to do so in the parking lot, but then noticed that everyone driving by could see. I moved more inside the parking lot, behind some cars. I then saw a girl, Abby, that I used to work with a long time ago. She was changing clothes as well. She said hello to me, then we got in my car. She sat in the driver's seat, and I was in the back. She asked if she could drive to my house for some reason. I said yes, but we needed to be quick, because I had to get to class. She said ok, and drove to my house.

We got there, and after a few minutes of me being in my room and Abby doing who knows what, I noticed the clock. I was late for class already, and I got upset. I knew I needed a shower anyway, because I apparently hadn't had time to get one before I left.

I remember then having a huge wad of money hidden somewhere, I think in my old jewelry box, and I had to find a different place to hide it. I decided on hiding it in my bottom dresser drawer, under some towels and stuff. My mom was helping me put stuff away in the drawer, and I had to ask her to move some things around so the money would be concealed.

Then, I remember waking up on the floor in my bonus room. I had slept in there overnight for some reason. Shelly, a girl I work with, was in there doing something. Cleaning, I think. She went up to this stereo, and turned it on. I told her to turn it off, because I was going back to sleep. She turned it off.

I woke up in this situation a couple more times, then wondered if I was dreaming. I tried to read some text, I don't remember what or where, but it looked relatively similar both times I looked at it. I still felt like I was dreaming, so I got up. I saw myself in the reflection of the TV getting up. I walked past Shelly, and she didn't notice that I was up. I then went to the door, and tried to phase through it. I pushed myself through it into the hallway, confirming my suspicions that I was dreaming. I walked to the stairs, and remembered one of my goals: To share a dream with Hyu. I pushed my hand out in front of me, as if to create a portal, but I said "I want to meet Hyu!" And a strange portal started to appear. I jumped through it, and everything went black for a minute, but then I was just tumbling through the air in the hallway. I landed on my back.

I woke up for real for a minute, turned over, and went back to sleep.

I was in high school, doing the musical Cats. I didn't remember rehearsing it much, but we were performing. We had on these weird white costumes. They were baggy, and not very Cats-like at all. I had a part as a "Dream Girl", or something.

As soon as the play started, I was laying down on the ground, peeking out of the curtain, watching the play. I thought someone may be able to see me in the audience, but I paid no mind. I was watching a dance routine. I remember two little black girls dressed in tutus were doing ballet, and the high schoolers were dancing around and singing. It was a slow song.

I got up, and walked towards my friends, the other "Dream Girls" in the play, and asked them when our cue to go on was. They told me, and we were going on very shortly.

~

I woke up again in the bonus room. I suspected I was dreaming, so I did a reality check and counted my fingers. My right index finger looked funny, so I knew that I was dreaming, and left through the door.

I was then outside, in the cul de sac behind my house. It was dusk. I was riding on a rolling desk chair. I saw my old friend, someone I briefly dated, Alan, playing basketball, shirtless. I was behind him, watching him for awhile. He didn't seem to notice me. I decided to leave before he saw me watching him; I didn't know if he'd like the idea of someone spying on him playing basketball.

As I started to roll away, though, he got my attention. I did a reality check when he started talking to me by trying to poke my fingers through my hands. My finger trying to go through made my hands look like rubber, then one finally went through. We started to talk, and I asked him why he had wanted to date me before. He smiled and started mumbling some answer, it didn't make sense, so I asked him again. We were now standing in the street, with him leaning against the bed of a truck, and me standing in front of him. He smiled, and started to mumble a little again. I tried to understand what he was saying so I would remember upon waking, but I couldn't. He then said that he had been "unrealistic". Hmm. Interesting.

While I was talking to Alan, I noticed more and more people were around. It almost seemed as if we were in the middle of a crowd. I then saw, to my right, a young man about my age, leaning up against another truck bed. He was Asian, tall, skinny, and was wearing a tight grey shirt, a leather jacket, and forest green dress pants. I had a thought that it was Hyu, but I started talking to Alan again.

Then, the man got my attention. I went over to him. He had taken me by complete surprise. I then knew it was Hyu.
"Hyu? Is it really you? How did you find me?", I managed to get out.
"I had to.", he replied, as he grabbed me, and started walking. He seemed like he was on a mission of some sort.

We were then in a small room with a table. I don't know how we got there. There was a girl sitting in a chair to my left; she had wavy, dark hair pulled back into a ponytail. Her eyes were very big; her irises were heart-shaped. They were changing colors as I stared at them.
"You have beautiful eyes.", I said to her.
"It's because of you.", she said with a smile. At that moment, her eyes were cheetah-print with red patterns moving through them. They were gorgeous. I understood her to mean when she said "It's because of you" that whomever looked into her eyes affected their appearance. For some reason, this girl's eyes seemed very familiar to me.

I sat down in between Hyu and the girl. There were all these black papers all over the table. They were laminated with magazine cut-outs of letters all over them, scrambled up. Hyu told me I needed to decode them.
"Anagrams.", I thought to myself.
I had a pencil, but no paper to start trying to decode them with. I asked Hyu for some paper. He gave me a dark blue piece, but that wouldn't work. So then he gave me a brown piece. I told him that should be fine. I started to look at the anagrams, wondering where to even begin. There were so many, I didn't know where to start.

I then started to see a a glare on the page I was looking at. I looked up at Hyu, because I knew I was about to wake up. He looked back at me, and then, I lost the dream and woke up.

~

I woke up in my room, and I knew I was dreaming, but everything was all blurry and it was hard for me to keep my eyes open. The top half of my vision went black. I woke up.

~

I woke up in my room. I knew I was dreaming immediately. I had felt myself enter the dream. I got up out of bed, and walked into the hallway. The house seemed big and empty; all the furniture was gone. I then remembered my previous dream, and started yelling for Hyu.
"Hyu! Hyu! I'm back, where are you?", I yelled.
I then tried to draw a portal on the wall. I drew it with my finger, though the edges were not straight at all. As I completed it, I touched it. It rippled, and as it did so, it looked like oil with all the rainbow colors it reflected. I tried to enter it, but I don't remember what happened after I entered it. I think I just woke up again.

I was in my family's garage, on the side my dad's car is usually on, but it wasn't in there. I was looking at some photos in an album. I knew I was about to get married, and my heart sank for a minute, because I thought that I was marrying someone other than Ryan. Then, I saw a photo of Ryan and I together, and I knew that I was, in fact, going to marry him. I got excited, and stayed excited throughout the entire dream.

Then, I was at some place that was going to do a photoshoot of our engagement, and my bridesmaids. We were sitting outside. There were some of my friends whom I would like to be in my wedding sitting in chairs. Courtney is one that I remember vividly being there. But there was a girl there whom I rarely talk to in waking life, Erica. I wondered what she was doing there. I also didn't see MK or Caitlin there. I figured they were off busy with something and couldn't make it.

I then remember looking through a photo album of pictures that were already taken of my wedding party and I. In a lot of them, I was sitting on a bed with a light, seafoam green shirt on under a wedding gown. A lot of my bridesmaids were around me in a lot of the photos.

Then, I remember seeing a program/menu for the wedding/reception. I then knew why Erica was there--because her mom was helping with the food for the reception. On the menu I saw something about crawfish (which I've never eaten in waking life). I thought that was interesting. I also looked for my bridesmaids' names on the program. I saw some of them, but some were hard to read.

Then, I was sitting next to Ryan inside this building that the photoshoot was in. We were sitting on chairs inside the edge of this pen that was fenced in with a low, black, fence made of metal bars. We were waiting to do this photo of him throwing the engagement ring to me, and me catching it. The thing was, he hadn't formally proposed to me yet. We just knew we were getting married since we had talked about it so much. I wanted a formal proposal, but it wasn't neccessary. At some point, I called him my boyfriend, and then said "Oh, I mean fiance". He then slipped the ring on my right ring finger, but it was too big. In fact, my pinky fit in it as well. I tried putting it on the left ring finger, and it fit better, but I was supposed to wear it on my right until we got married. I figured I needed to go get it sized at some point.

Then, Jeanne, a lady I work with, called us over. We walked to the other far edge of the pen, and she started giving us instructions on how the photoshoot needed to go.

I was at work, but we had changed locations. Instead of being in the coffee shop, we had moved into a huge house ("coffee house", ha). It was on the square. It had many, many rooms and levels. It was easy to get lost in it. I was scheduled 2-close, and my friend, Rachel, had just been hired on. She stuck by me the whole time. My boss and our consultant were there. The consultant was dictating all the changes we needed to make and all the cleaning and moving that had to be done (very true to waking life events as of late). Rachel and I were just walking around while all the employees worked. I couldn't find anything to do, nor did I really know what they needed help with.

Rachel said she was going to leave early; she said Chad, her husband, was going to come pick her up. I wanted to leave early, too, but I didn't think I could get away with it without getting fired. I knew Rachel could because she was new. We went into a bathroom with many stalls, and the first stall was trashed; there was toilet paper everywhere. I said
"That's really gross." Rachel agreed. I wasn't happy about us having bathrooms with stalls as opposed to the small single-person bathrooms we had at the other shop.

At some point, I saw a flash of people trying to enter our old location, and seeing that it was closed.

I wandered off alone into an empty part of the house on an upper level. I ended up walking outside and down the street. As I was walking, I decided I needed to go back before I got lost or they noticed my absense. I turned around, and the coffee house was on top of a hill up a long driveway. I tried to run up the driveway, but my legs felt stiff, heavy, and tired. I was wearing rain boots, so I took them off, and carried them as I ran up the driveway and back to the coffee house.

Then, I walked into the room where everyone had been previously, and everything was quiet. I didn't know where everyone was. I walked into a living room-type area, and everyone was sitting down on and around a couch. They were celebrating someone's birthday. They didn't notice I had come in at first, and when they did, they didn't acknowlege the fact that I had been gone. I think someone invited me to have some birthday cake.

Then, I was outside, and I think Rachel was with me again. A girl asked me to come smoke some weed in the car with her. I had some with me, and I told her I would. I wasn't sure how Rachel felt about it. We got in the car. I don't remember ever smoking the weed.

I was watching some people walk down the street. I noticed that one, who was acting particularly silly, looked like Katherine. I commented on it, and Jarrod, and ex, who was apparently sitting next to me, said "Yeah, she does." I turned to my right, and he was there. We were sitting outside, and had been for a long time.

Then, we were inside his house, which was huge; it looked like my best friend MK's family's house. We were in the bonus room, sitting on a bed and watching TV. We saw this show that was showing cheerleading bloopers, but they weren't really that funny. It was middle and high school cheerleaders doing stunts, and they were falling and messing up. I didn't think it was funny because they were getting hurt. Jarrod and I were flirting with each other. He was being much more respectful towards me than when we previously dated; I noticed he didn't call me "girl" as much anymore, which I was happy about. We watched TV for awhile, when some people came in to clean the house. Jarrod said I had to go, but he'd see me the next day. Then, he said
"Oh, when they finish cleaning the 475 bathrooms, we should go get a cookie."
I pondered this large number for a minute, but didn't think much of it. I agreed that that was a good idea. We hugged. He then started to talk to me about the girl he's currently dating, who wasn't me (he got together with her in waking life after we broke up), saying he didn't know if he wanted to marry her. I don't remember what I said, or if I said anything. I knew I was thinking about the "honeymoon phase" of a relationship, and that he had passed it and didn't know what to do anymore. I think I commented on this. He kept saying, in reference to his relationship
"I don't know, I don't know..."

I left the room, and Katherine was there. She was talking about what we were going to do when we got back to their house (she was dating his roommate, who was bald with glasses). Then, I figured out I left my golden stiletto high heels (lolwut? I hate high heels in waking life) in the bonus room with Jarrod. I went in there to get them, and we ended up talking some more. I thought to myself something along the lines of
"He may be fine with us today, but tomorrow he may not be. I need to be on my guard." I was remembering the last time we were together, and the sudden change that I had noticed in his attitude before we broke up.

I looked at Jarrod, who didn't have a shirt on. I saw a tattoo of a purple and maybe green diamond on his chest. I figured it was a new tattoo, and looked down at his stomach to try to find the tattoo that I knew he had; one he has of a skull in waking life. I didn't see it, but I thought maybe it was lower than I had remembered and his pants were covering it. I also remember looking down at my legs and seeing how tan they were from sitting in the sun all day. Jarrod was very tan as well. I looked in my purse, and my wallet was very faded from the sun, but my purse was fine.

Then, I went up a small set of stairs leading down the hallway. I went into another bonus room, and Jarrod's roommate was in there sitting on the couch with a lot of small children. He was holding a little boy in his lap. He said if I was going to get a cookie, I wouldn't be able to experience "this", and when he said "this", he started to ruffle the little boy's hair very quickly. I laughed and said
"My hair would be a static mess!"
Then, one of the little boys said that if we all went out to get cookies, we'd have to come right back so he wouldn't miss some TV program.

I was in a computer lab at a library. My brother was doing an assignment for school. My mom was there too.

Then, I remember I was outside, at something like band camp. I borrowed some markers from my brother to write on this poster with. I was with some friends. My brother was on the other side of the parking lot we were in. I remember using an orange sharpie to write with. My brother came back for his markers, and he tried to take the orange sharpie, but that one was mine, and I wouldn't let him have it. He tried to pull it out of my hands, but I kept it.

Then, I was at a restaurant. It was nighttime. I was sitting across from the bar at a tall table by myself. My family was in the restaurant somewhere. My friend Bret showed up, and took out a bag of weed. He gave it to me, and I took a huge nug out of the bag. I wondered where we could even go smoke it, since I live with my parents again. Then, the restaurant manager, a short, stout woman with short, red hair and glasses, came up to us and politely asked us to leave. She didn't say why, but we knew I knew it was because of the weed. We got our things together and got in the car.

At some point during all of this, I realized I was dreaming, but I quickly forgot and continued on with the dream. -_-

I was at my house, sitting in my pajamas on my bed. I was on the computer, looking at this computer program that would insert videos of people into music video-type things, and make it look like you were singing a song. I was playing with it, when my mom yelled for me. I ignored her. She continued to get more and more angry.

I went downstairs, and she was at the kitchen table. She was trying to get me to take my cat to the vet, because I had said I was going to, but I kept ignoring her yells, and responded by telling her to hold on, and that I was busy. I felt so irritated, but I kept a calm front.

Then, I went back upstairs, and my brother was using the computer program. There was a video on it of Austin and I in a studio, me with a microphone in my hand and him beside me with headphones, and we were singing "Celebrate Good Times". I was wearing a dark turquiose shirt with silver things on the front of it. We were smiling and having a great time. I was trying to remember when exactly a moment like that happened when Austin and I were together, beceause what I was seeing had happened about 2-3 years ago, when Austin and I were still together.

My mom then came upstairs and calmly talked to me about my cat and the vet. I listened and told her I'd take her to the vet. She asked me about something else then, and I told her I hadn't done that yet. We were both trying not to get too irritated with one another.

Then, she left, and I was in the program on the computer. I was walking through a restaurant by the beach. There were many people in there eating. I knew it was in the past. In fact, it was my mom's past. I walked through the restaurant, and saw my mom sitting at a table with a black woman with very short hair. They were chatting away. For some reason, I thought they might be on a date (weird!). Behind them was a table of my mom's old friends. They were all sitting at a booth in a corner. They seemed like they were having a good time.

Then, someone asked if they all wanted to go sing on the beach, and they all agreed that they wanted to, but they wanted to do drugs first. I started walking towards the exit of the restaurant to get to the beach, and I saw one of my mom's female friends, who had long, black hair, take out some cocaine and form it into a line on the table. I thought that was odd, because she was in the middle of a restaurant.

I was then outside on the beach. It was a cloudy evening. The sand was damp beneath my feet, and some of it closer to the shore had a blue-green tint to it. I turned around, and many of my mom's friends were standing outside with me. One of them, a man, was smoking a cigar and sitting at a table right outside the restaurant. At first, I thought it was a blunt, but he said something about his weed getting blown off his balcony. His two front teeth were stained black and blue, they looked bruised and rotting. A man walked up next to him with a joint. I was going to ask him for a hit, but I decided not to. They were all overlooking the ocean.

~

I was at Universal Studios with my family. My mom wanted to go see this show, and we had to wait for the next one to start. I decided I needed to use the restroom at this point, and went down a flight of stairs to get to the bathroom. I entered a stall, and sat on the toilet.

Then, a group of 4 or 5 girls came in. They were about my age, maybe a little younger. They all came into my stall, even though I was obviously using it. They started making fun of me and being mean to me, pushing me around and such. I didn't say much of anything, but I felt chewing gum in my mouth. I took it out and stuck it in one of the girls' hair. She didn't notice as I wound it up in there nice and tight. They all left, and as they were leaving the bathroom, I heard the girl scream as she discovered the gum.

I continued to sit on the toilet, and I saw a black tube that looked like a tube of hair product sitting on the toilet paper dispenser. I picked it up. The writing on it was in purple. I read it, and it was instructions on how the girls were going to get revenge on me for the gum. It said something about them getting one of the girls really drunk first. It also said they were going to attack me in the 2nd stall, or something like that. Thats as far as I read before I discovered my phone had gone off. It was a man I know in waking life, Mason. It was a picture of him, the way he looked before he cut his hair. The message said something about him cleaning up and thinking he looked much better with his hair cut.

The girls then came back in the bathroom. My things were scattered all over the stall. They came into the stall, and tried to take all my things. I gathered them up as I was trying to leave from under the door in the stall. The only item of mine they got was a light blue denim jacket. They threw it in a fire they had set in the corner of the stall. They almost set one of the other girls' purses on fire, but she stopped them in time. I remember one of the girls being black with short hair and a yellow hat.

I was then outside with my parents. They were talking to someone. We were sitting in a circle. The dream started to fade, and as it was doing so, I realized I was dreaming, but it was too late. I woke up.

Something about band, about me playing my clarinet. Austin, an ex, was there, I think he was encouraging me to practice.

I was at Austin's house. I was spending the night with him, thought it was morning in the dream. We were laying in bed, and I had to get up to pee. I got up, and I was naked. Austin said to go quickly so his roommate wouldn't come out of his room and see me naked. I went into the bathroom. The walls were all cut out, kind of like in The Sims games. I could see the door to his roommate's room. It was moving, like someone was about to open it. I sat on the toilet. I figured out that Austin's roommate was, in fact, another Austin. Weird.

My family wanted me to go to this museum to see this giant, yellow bird. His head was almost always buried in the sand, kind of like what an ostrich does. But on that day, from 2-4pm, the bird's head would be out of the sand, and he could grant you 3 wishes. I saw this on a sign by the museum. I didn't want to go, and I let my family know this. That led to some arguing. I couldn't figure out if this bird was real, or if it was mechanical.

Then, my brother went. I remember seeing him running down the back bone of some giant, prehistoric animal. Another giant bone tried to hit him, but he evaded it. He never got to see the bird, however, because it was after 4pm.

I was at school, sitting in Data Analysis (a real class I'm currently enrolled in in waking life), though the classroom looked like one of my high school classrooms. I was sitting down, doing some of the work. I felt like I was doing a great job; I understood everything pretty well. I remember looking at the board, and seeing this spiraly background behind some of the words, and it was moving.

Then, as I was passing my homework in, I saw written on the board that we could use pen or pencil only on the homework. I looked down at my assignment, and I had written, in orange sharpie, the directions on not using anything other than pen or pencil. I couldn't really fix it, so I handed it in, hoping that my teacher would understand, even though I didn't follow directions.

Then, I was at my house, in a weird closet. Ryan was with me. I asked him to help me pick out a shirt to wear to Data Analysis. I was, for some reason, wearing a navy blue 2-piece bathing suit with tropical-looking white flowers on it. He picked out this one shirt, and I put it on. You could see the bathing suit right through it, so I took it off and asked him to pick out another shirt, one that you couldn't see through.

I was walking into Old Time Pottery. It looked kind of like Hobby Lobby the way things were laid out. I glanced to my right, and I saw Katherine. I wanted to avoid a confrontation, so I started walking to the left. I saw my friend/coworker Tim in front of me. He was walking on crutches. We said hello to one another, when Katherine walked up. She started talking to Tim, and I tried to ignore her, when she said my name and asked how I was. I avoided looking at her and said I was good, and asked how she was. She responded.

Then, Katherine and I were walking down an aisle. She was pushing a shopping cart. I asked her if she still had her cat, and she said yes, and started talking about him for a bit. She then picked out these two chocolate chip cookie cream sandwich treats and put them in the cart. She said they were for her cat. I was going to tell her cats aren't supposed to eat chocolate, but I decided not to, because she'd just disregard what I had to say anyway.

I was at a school, in the cafeteria.

I was then going to a wedding. I was outside in the sunshine, and I saw Tim and this other girl I am acquainted with in waking life, Caitlin L. They were hugging each other, and seemed very happy. I had thought that they were fighting and weren't together, but they had apparently gotten back together.

Then, we were all seated waiting for the ceremony. We were still outside. Except for now it wasn't a wedding, but it was a funeral. There was a man we were all looking at, and he was laying in a hospital bed. He seemed like a very strong man; he was very built. He had black hair, tan skin, and was wearing a navy blue shirt. There were doctors around him. Then, I had a flash of some Rugrats episode where Chuckie's dad got married in the desert. That's apparently where we were. I saw a skeleton of some sort of big animal.

Then, the man got up out of the hospital bed, and ripped out all his tubes, IVs, and electrodes. The doctors tried to stop him, but he was determined to get up.

Then, he was on top of this giant stack of books. Then, I was him. I was on top of the huge stack of books. I looked down, and it seemed like a very long way down. On the ground was a blow-up mattress. I was scared to jump, so I asked one of the doctors to slightly pull out one of the books in the middle of the stack to act as a step for me to get down onto. He did so, and I held my hand out to the doctor, and he took it and helped me to step down onto the mattress.

Dream - Lucid - AP

I was outside my ex/old friend Nick's house. I had to go there to get something, but I knew he would try to get with me while I was there. I knew he wanted to date me, but I didn't want to date him. I went in there, and of course, he was there. I went into his bedroom, and we started to talk about some older lady that went to elementary, middle, and high school with us, and now she was a literal star (not a famous star, but a literal white-blue star shape that floated around).

Then, his house went on lock-down. He put it on lockdown so I couldn't leave. I ran to the door as it went on lockdown. I caught it before it shut, but something made it shut regardless. I remember being like "...Really? He's going to do this?". I wasn't upset, I was more or less just calmly going with the flow of things, though it was reluctantly (this was my attitude throughout the whole dream). I saw Nick's mom through a sheet of bullet-proof plastic, and she was asking me why the house went on lockdown. I shrugged my shoulders, and she made a motion like she was going to try to break through the plastic. Nick chased me a little bit around his bed. I was then trying to find my sandals

Then, I left the room. I was going to leave the house, but I forgot I still needed my sandals. I had left them in his room. I turned back around to go back to his room to get them, and he had a naked girl with dark red hair on the bed. He was taking his clothes off too. I was disgusted, but not because I was jealous, but because I knew he was doing it to make me jealous. I walked in there anyway. I asked him where my shoes were while avoiding eye contact with him. The girl got up and went somewhere. Nick asked
"Do you know who that girl was?"
"Yes. Sabrina.", I replied.
Nick was now naked. He didn't look bad, but it was awkward. I found one of my black sandals, but I couldn't find the other one. There were other shoes on the floor too.

I then, for some reason, started to take off my clothes. I took off my shirt and bra. I was topless, stretching. He didn't say or do anything, but I knew he was looking at me. At some point, my shirt was back on.

Then, I was about to leave, when a bunch of his little siblings (he only has one younger sibling in waking life) and their friends, who were all about 7 or 8 years old, wanted me to stay and watch them play this food game. I decided to stay. Nick asked me
"Are you really gonna stay for this?", to which I didn't reply. I sat on the couch and all of them sat at a huge dining room table. There were some parents there too. They all had lots of food on their plates. It was a turn-based game, I'm not sure what the point was, but only the first 2 kids took their turns and then the game was over. It lasted a total of about 5-10 minutes.

Then, Nick's mom asked me if I wanted to take some Kool-Aid home that was leftover from the game. I told her I would, and she started to get it ready for me in a pitcher. She and I were standing at the kitchen sink. The Kool-Aid was purple. She had to leave to go get something real quick, so I started to fill the pitcher up myself. I turned on the water, and the sink wasn't draining any of the water. I started to panic a little, but I finally figured out how to drain it. It had something to do with turning something on the faucet. She came back, and started talking to me about how she was Church of Christ, but she wasn't like other people who were Church of Christ. I wish I could remember exactly what she told me, but it escapes me.
