Krista's Dream Journal

Dream - Lucid - AP

I was in my bed. I looked over at my phone, which was charging. The front screen was blinking on and off. I took it to my mom to see if she could fix it. She did, and gave it back. I went back to sleep, and woke up and it was again messing up. I repeated bringing it to my mom, and she fixed it again. This process repeated one more time.

Then, I went into my mom's office. She had found some weed I had apparently had, and had it dumped out on her desk. She was making it into a big pile. I told her not to mess it up or lose any of it because I was going to smoke it. She got up and left the room. I started to collect it back into the baggie it came in.

I was in a car. It was very dark, and I couldn't figure out where I was at first. Then, I started to hear Jenny's voice very vividly. She is a girl that I went to high school with and who comes into the coffee shop from time to time, but we've never really had a conversation, or acknowledged each other's existence. She was sitting in the passenger's seat, and Caitlin was driving and talking to Jenny. In the dream, Jenny and Caitlin were best friends.

We ended up at what was apparently my new apartment, which I was sharing with Caitlin and Katie. I remember my room being the first one on the right, closest to the living room. I had my own bathroom, while Caitlin and Katie shared one. There was a party going on at the apartment. I saw my grandma there, and she was walking outside to what looked like a bunch of gas pumps. The ground was very icy, and she was trying to avoid the ice so she didn't slip and fall. A lady came up to me and started saying how my grandma couldn't do it, and was saying some other things about her. I got very angry, and started yelling at her, defending my grandma. Someone had to hold me back so I didn't hit her.

Then, I wanted to smoke some weed. Everyone was ok with it, except for Jenny, so we didn't smoke (this was never voiced in the dream, it was just understood). The party then started to clear out. I saw Ryan sitting in a recliner. We went off to my room, and I asked him if he wanted to stay the night. He said
"Yeah, I have to get up in an hour."
I looked at the clock, and it was 5:30am. We put on our pajamas and got in bed.

~

I was in what was, again, my new apartment. Lynsay and her ex-boyfriend, Parker, were there with me. We sat on my bed in a circle, ready to smoke some weed. We were trying to avoid others in the apartment from knowing that we were smoking. I started talking to Lynsay about my pipe, which, in the dream, she had given me (I bought it myself in waking life). Then, we started talking about my old pipe, which she also got me in the dream (again, I bought that one too). It's gone in waking life, but in the dream, I still had it.

Then, we were at an outdoor church. My brother and mom were there as well. There was a stage with a podium on it, and instead of pews, there were fold-out chairs for everyone to sit in. The collections envelope came around, and my mom put a few coins in, and so did I. Beside me was this clear, plastic nightstand type thing with 3 drawers that I have in waking life. In the bottom drawer is where I keep the container with my pipe in it. The preacher came down and asked me if the container in the bottom drawer was full of loose change. I lied and said yes, thinking that he would leave it alone after that. He tried to get into the drawer to get the container, but I told him no, don't touch that. He kept trying to sneak over to get it, and I kept telling him no.

After all that, Lynsay, Parker, and I decided to get out of there. We were in the car, but it was dark, and none of us could remember how to get back to my apartment. I called my mom to ask her, and she told me we had to take this very confusing and specific route to get out, or we'd just end up back at the church. I knew if that happened, the preacher would catch me.

I was looking into some room, it looked like a dressing room. In the corner of my vision, I saw a little picture of 2 cartoonified bears, one in a red box and one in a green, each with gauges in the boxes, again, one red and one green. The red one kept filling up and the bear kept getting angry, while the green one stayed calm. Then they switched places.

Then, I was looking in the mirror of the dressing room, shaving my face...I thought I was shaving my upper lip, but I looked again, and I was shaving my cheek (weird). I could see the detail of the stubble. Then, I dragged the razor over my upper lip and a clump of hairs came out.

Then, I was in my room, sitting on my bed. Two young women walked into the room. They were about my age, maybe a little older. Something clicked in my head, and I realized I was dreaming. Everything became vivid for a second, then started to darken again. I said to the women:

"Hey! This is a dream! I'm dreaming!"

They looked at me with these confused smiles on their faces. I stared to fly up through the ceiling, and everything went black. Then, I was back on my bed and the girls were still in the room. I told them I'd prove to them it was a dream, and took each one by the hand and tried to fly with them. I hovered, but they stayed put because I could not lift them. I let go of their hands and went up through the ceiling again. This time, the ceiling turned transparent, and there was a duplicate of my room above me. Then, it turned into a blue space, with water upside down on the ceiling. I splashed into the water, exited, and then repeated that a few times.

~

I was at some geisha training thing with Kacey, who was apparently very skilled at the art. Though it wasn't typical geisha training...it was a mixture of ballet and gymnastics. I'm pretty sure we were outside. I was with a big group of girls, and there were two courses to take: the easy one, which I don't remember what the training for that was, and the hard one, which was a gymnastics beam, and we had to learn how to walk over it in different ways. We tried out, and I was picked for the beam training, the one that Kacey had taken. There was a very strict man teaching the course. He showed us what he wanted us to do on the beam, and it was some weird jump thing...I can't explain it. I told Kacey I couldn't do that because my legs were too short, so she told me to roll across the beam instead.

For some reason, during the 2nd lesson, I sat out with another girl who was on the other training course. I watched both training courses from the picnic table I was sitting at. My feet were aching from the training. I felt like I was going to be very behind when I went back to the training since I was sitting out on the lesson.

~

I was looking at a black woman's Facebook page. She looked like a woman who frequents the coffee shop I work at. Her picture was of her standing up with a huge smile on her face. I read the posts on her wall, and they were all very inspirational. Apparently, she was very well-liked. After every wall post, the woman wrote back "Thank you!". I remember one wall post saying something like "Her house is at the end of the street!", but she meant it in a symbolic way, it's hard to explain. It's like her house was the be all end all, it was the end of sadness, something along those lines.

~

I think we were in a hotel. I remember seeing all these Barney the Dinosaur stickers, all stuck together, that said "Don't do drugs!". I pulled the stickers apart as I watched a TV program, but I don't remember what I did with them.

Then, I had apparently stolen 3 car motors, and was driving away from the mall with them. I felt guilty about stealing them. I can't even remember why I needed them.

I also remember asking my brother about my 2 closets that I apparently had in the dream. Something about clean clothes being in one, and one of them was locked. I remember answering my own question.

Then, I saw a picture of my brother, taken by my dad. My brother was sitting on his knees on the dry, dirt ground, and he was looking up at the camera, neither smiling nor frowning. He looked like he was longing for something. You could see my dad's feet in the picture.

I really need to do something in my LDs other than fly through the ceiling. I always think of all these awesome things to do in them when I'm awake, but I rarely remember to do them in the dream. Grr.

I was getting up and getting ready to leave the house. I wanted to go out for breakfast, so I got in the car and drove around town, looking for a place that wasn't too crowded. IHOP was packed, and then I saw Chef Raymond's, a place that just opened up at the mall, and they were pretty busy too. I decided to just go back home, since all the places I apparently wanted to go were too crowded, and besides, I had to go to class.

I know I had at least one more dream last night, but I can't remember at all. I didn't sleep very well last night unfortunately.

Just a random update, I did a guided relaxation about an hour and a half or so ago, and towards the end of it, I was very close to projecting, I could feel it, it felt just like the other night when I did project. However, my heart started to beat very rapidly and my breathing became very erratic, which brought me out of the meditative state I was in.

After that, I decided to try to sleep, and all that kept happening is I kept falling into a meditative state, and I kept feeling my body start to fall asleep. I kept entering sleep paralysis, I got the crazy hypnogogia and the tingly feeling, but it only lasted a few seconds each time until I became fully awake again. This has happened like...4 times tonight already. o_o

I was in what was supposed to be my friend Kacey's room, sitting on her bed. My butt was hurting (weird). Later, I took off my pants and there was a lot of blood in my underwear because I was bleeding out my butt (ahhh!!). I told Kacey and she said "Well that explains the stain on my bed." I was then told by someone that I needed to switch to softer toilet paper.

I also remember someone wanting to have sex with me, but that was not going to happen in my condition at the time.

I know there was more to this one, but that's all I can recall.

~

I was in my living room, watching my brother, who in this dream was much younger than in waking life, play with some toys. My friends Courtney and Caitlin wanted me to go to the mall with them. I had already been, so I didn't really want to go, but I went anyway. They went to Forever 21, and I went in there with them and browsed.

Then, we were in an indoor cemetery. We walked by many graves, and went through many different rooms. I think Caitlin was looking for a certain one. As we were walking, I saw cemetery workers taking these boxes out of the graves; boxes of the deceased people's internal organs, and they were cleaning them. It really grossed me out, so I turned around to leave.

~

I feel like this may be a continuation from the first dream.

I was at my boss's house, but it was much smaller than in waking life and kinda looked like Caitlin's house. Caitlin, Courtney, and my old friend Stephanie were there. My boss was standing in front of a glass sliding door. Outside the glass door was a huge field. It was dark and very cloudy outside. My boss was talking to us, when, in the distance, I spotted a tornado. I told my boss to turn around and look. She did so, and we all went outside to find the tornado shelter that was built into the ground. I herded everyone in there, but my boss didn't come in. I pointed out where the benches were. I remember I was sitting on a bench to the left, Caitlin was on the right bench, and Stephanie was on the back bench. I can't remember where Courtney was sitting.

We knew the tornado was coming closer, but my boss was still not in the shelter. Someone looked through a crack in the shelter door and said they saw her, and that she was alright. Then, the tornado picked up the shelter, and we were spinning around through the air. This lasted for a few minutes before the spinning stopped. I remember thinking to myself that it probably didn't last near as long as it felt like it did.

We exited the shelter, and it was sunny outside. We were in the middle of a field. I remember seeing a family in a garage holding a wedding ceremony. We were trying to find my boss's house again. I can't remember when or if we made it back, but I feel like we did.

~

Yet another continuation.

I was back in the house, but my friends were gone. The house was now my grandparents's old house, but it didn't look like it. My grandparents were there. I wanted to take a shower, but I knew I had to time it so as not to waste water (my grandparents used to make me time my showers with a kitchen timer when I was little in waking life).

I started the shower, and then I realized I had to eat dinner with my grandparents. I sat at the table with them. I don't remember eating, but we all talked, I think about the tornado. I know I was thinking about the tornado at any rate. I then went back to take my shower, but my grandpa had turned the water off. I was just about to turn it back on, when a very big, tall, older man entered the bathroom, and asked me if I was going to take a shower. I said yes, I was. I think he wanted to take a shower first. Then, he started asking me more and more questions.

Dream - Lucid - AP

I was at a mall with my friend Rachel. My mom was there too. We were in a department store, I think it was supposed to be Sears or JC Penny's. Rachel and I were picking out shirts that we liked so we could go try them on.

Then, a voice came over the loud speaker saying the store was going under lock down because a man was in there who was going to rape and molest women. He was described as wearing a big, black jacket. I saw a picture of him walking on a TV screen that was on the wall. After that, all the lights in the store went out, and everyone scattered to hiding places. I called out to my friend Mary Katherine, who was there now as well. I kept calling "Mary!" and she finally answered me, and I hid with her behind a shelf. I had also been separated from my mom, but I couldn't do much about that, since I was already hidden.

I had my cellphone out, and I think I was trying to contact my mom, when someone came around with a box of these huge, bulky, silver flip phones. We were supposed to use them while the store was under lock down if we needed to make any calls. I took one, and entered my mom's number in the phone. I can't remember if I got ahold of her or not, for some reason, I don't think I did.

Then, everyone was running outside, so I did the same. A young man with blond hair and a striped shirt, he kind of looked like Draco Malfoy except for not as pale and a little skinnier, came up behind me and asked me if I wanted to get raped. He asked because I was running so slow and was confused about where to go, and was in danger of getting caught. I put my arm through his arm and we ran together to hide. When we were hidden, and I don't remember where we hid, we laid down, with me on top of him. He started to blow lightly on my lips, and I kissed him. This happened 2 or 3 more times. I also figured out the young man's name was Caleb.

Then, I was back in the store, and the lights were back on. I then got attacked by a middle-aged man. He was going to rape me. I yelled out..."Help me! HELP!!" over and over again. A lot of people just stared at me, but someone came and got him off of me before he could do anything. I tried to find Caleb, but couldn't. I then realized that I didn't have my cellphone with me, I still just had the big silver one. My mom found me, and we searched for my phone. I picked up a couple of other phones that looked like mine, but when I looked at the front screen, they had different backgrounds. I finally found mine, which, in the dream, had a background of a world map on the screen.

EDIT: There was a shooting on my campus today, and we are now on lockdown. Sounds like my dream was kind of precognitive....

Dream - Lucid - AP

I was at some sort of carnival with Ryan. There were carnival rides everywhere, I especially remember some virtual reality ride that made it feel like you were riding through space. I also remember some ride that swung you around in these little pod things, and there were birds in all the seats.

I was walking with Ryan and we were talking. I got on the virtual reality ride, and this group of people, both guys and girls, who had it out for me for who knows what were on there too. They were just being mean to me the whole time we were on it, saying nasty things and such. I got off the ride, and walked down a path with Ryan. The group started throwing rocks at me, and saying more nasty things. I yelled back, getting quite angry at this point.

Then, I was at home, and one of the girls was in my room, trying to steal my stuff. She had a huge, black mesh bag with her. I caught her and told her she wasn't going to do that. I grabbed the bag from her. At one point, I was trying to hit her, but I couldn't hit, it felt like my fist was going through water. I thought about that for a second..."Why can't I hit? That happens in dreams."...when something distracted me from the thought.

Then, I was back at the carnival with Ryan, and the group of people still wasn't giving me a break. They were saying more nasty things to me, when Ryan cut in and started to defend me. They kept trying to make a point, but he would throw it back in their faces.

Dream - Lucid - Other

Last night before I went to bed, I took a Tylenol that had codeine in it, because I was in a lot of pain (thanks to mother nature). I should note that I very rarely take these, this is probably the 3rd or 4th time in my life that I've taken one. Let me tell you...I had a very intense experience. For now, I'm going to categorize it as "other" to separate it from the "dream" and "lucid" categories.

I was in sleep paralysis. I started to sit up slowly. I thought I was doing so in waking life. I thought it was my real body sitting up. But then, I seemed to float. I could still feel the sleep paralysis and heaviness of my body. I opened my heavy eyes, and looked in the mirror. I saw my body lying in bed in the reflection. I kept feeling this "tugging" feeling to go back to my body, and, after trying to resist the feeling, I inevitably returned.

After that, I was transitioning in and out of this state over and over again, every time feeling my body in sleep paralysis even though I wasn't "in" my body. Sometimes, I could manipulate the light in the room, like I could "turn" the lights on and off. One time, I pulled myself up out of my body, and was looking over my body in bed, and I saw myself blinking my eyes open and shut. This freaked me out, so I went back. I kept wanting to fly through the ceiling, to get out of my room each time, but the "tugging" sensation always brought me back.

I also sleep with a sleeping mask on, and in one of these experiences, I felt like it was covering my eyes and I couldn't see, so I kept taking off "layers" of the sleeping mask to improve my vision, which only worked slightly. Each time prior to this, though, I could feel the sleeping mask, but could see pretty clearly.

I also started trying to "roll out" of my body. I would feel myself turning over and over, and when I felt ready, I'd "roll out" of my body.

Each one of these experiences was pretty brief, with the first few being the longest. I finally decided to dream, and stop trying to project, or whatever was going on.

Then, I had a lucid dream, where I was in a different version of my house, trying to project like I had been doing previously. I dreamed I was sitting up in a chair, trying to exit my body. I remember my mom being in the room too. This kept happening over and over again. It was like I was trying to show my mom what I was doing.

Then, I was in the street of my dream neighborhood. It was nighttime out, and very vivid.

All the sudden, I was flying through space, and then, there was the moon, right in front of me, rotating, looking very different, like there was some sort of community built there. I thought about WakingNomad and his visits to the moon. I kept feeling like I was going to wake up or lose the dream, but I was determined to stay in it. Everything blacked out, and then I was on the moon in one of the buildings. I examined my hands to induce clarity. Two young men approached me, and asked if I knew where WakingNomad was. I told them no, I was actually looking for him myself. I turned one of the windows in the building into stained glass. I didn't have any particular pattern in mind, but what came out was a cross in front of an airplane. Then, I entered the room into which the window looked into, and there were those stained glass windows,with the crosses in front of the planes everywhere in the room.

At one point in this dream, I tried creating a portal by saying "Portal, appear!", as I usually do. I think I was already on the moon when this happened, and I either woke up or entered another dream upon doing this.

Dream - Lucid

I was in my room, lying in my bed. My room was dark, as the sun hadn't yet risen. I saw, through the crack in my closet door, someone climbing up through my closet. I had, in waking life, heard some noises as I was falling asleep, and I thought to myself in the dream "So that explains the weird noises..." I yelled at them, saying that my dad had a gun and I was going to go get it. I opened the closet door, and it was a young woman dressed in all black with short, dark brown hair, trying to climb up through some passage to the attic that was apparently in my closet. She was then with my father, and was apparently a patient of his. He just let her go, and I wasn't sure why, since she had broken into the house.

She had apparently stolen a Super Nintendo game, a Mario game to be exact. One of my friends was there with me now, and I turned the SNES on without the game in it. It turned on the system, but a lot of the aspects and words in the title screen were missing. I let it sit there for awhile, and saw a video of an old man and a younger woman, the woman holding a young Princess Peach. The old mad was molesting the young princess by sticking his fingers up her ass. It was disturbing and gross. He took off his pants and had a hard-on, but his hard-on quickly went flaccid. Even more disgusting. My friend was commenting on how gross it was, and I thought something alone the lines of "Oh those silly Japanese people and their games," haha.

Then, my mom had the game, and was watching the actual opening title screen in her office. I watched some of it with her, and it was pretty normal, though I can't remember any details.

~

I was watching some cartoon, I think it was The Fairly Odd Parents, and a couple of the boys in the cartoon were having some kind of competition. A grown man told Timmy that he had to sell a warm can of ginger ale in a certain amount of time. He was at a lemonade stand type thing, and poured the ginger ale into 2 cups, one much more full than the other. He was yelling "Ginger ale for sale!". There was a cooler behind him, and I think I somehow opened it, and inside were small bottles of rum, marked at $12.00 and $13.00. It was the grown man's liquor. Couldn't sell that, so he shut it. He then ran out of time to sell the ginger ale, and his friend won the competition.

Then, I saw some monkey bars on a playground, and from one angle they looked very high and treacherous, but when they were showed at another angle, they were just normal, safe-looking monkey bars. I also saw who I think was Cosmo from the cartoon flying over them.

Dream - Lucid

I know I had more dreams than this last night, but this is all I can recall.

I was with my mom and brother in the car. We were going to eat at Subway. We drove up to the Subway, and it looked closed. There was a note on the door, saying they were moving locations or something. We went in anyway. There were still people working there, and they took my mom's and brother's orders. When my turn came, the girl behind the counter was going very slow, taking her precious time. We were talking as I told her what I wanted on my sandwich. When I told her I wanted a few jalepenos, she said something along the lines of

"You've gotta watch out for those jalepenos!", and then something about the owner of the restaurant.

More people started to come into the Subway now. In fact, a lot of people were in there, waiting in line. The girl that was making my sandwich was holding up the line. By the time she finished and gave it to me, my brother and mom were almost done eating. I walked over to them and said "Finally..."

Then, the Subway had two sandwich bars and two registers. They had opened up the "other one" because it had gotten so busy.

Then, I started to see these cloud dragons, with heads like Chinese dragons, but clouds as bodies. Their cloud bodies were just a long trail of clouds, trailing behind them. They had no limbs. They were floating through the air of the restaurant.

Then, I was in a cloud world, full of beautiful colors like a sunrise. The cloud dragons were everywhere. I was walking along some path in the sky, when I came across this tiny monkey-looking creature that was about the size of a guinea pig. I held out my hand, and it climbed on, scratching me a little with his nails, but it wasn't that painful, just uncomfortable. He started to talk to me, though I can't remember what he was saying. As I walked along, I encountered more of these, and talked to each one. Then, I saw a mini stegasaurus-looking creature, about the size of the monkeys. I called to him. He looked very sleepy, but slowly made it onto my hand. He didn't have nails, so he didn't scratch me up like the monkeys. He talked to me as well, though I can't remember what he said.

Dream - Lucid

I was in my room, trying to conceal a baggie of weed somewhere in my closet. I remember Ryan and one other person, a female, being there. I put the weed in my pocket. Then, I was suddenly wearing a blue jean skirt, and the weed was in my underwear? I was trying to hide the fact that I had it. Something was wrong with the shower head, and I think Ryan was fixing it. It was squirting water in a weird direction.

Then, I was in my middle school lobby. It looked kind of similar to how I remember it. I was carrying this huge bag of stuff with me. I saw to my left a glassed-in office, and the assistant principal was talking to a girl in there. I dropped the bag, and lots of things fell out. I distinctly remember two containers of yogurt falling onto the floor. I dropped down on my hands and knees to pick everything up. I was still concealing the weed in my underwear, and hoped that it didn't fall out.

The assistant principal came out of the office, and said he needed to talk to me, because I wasn't supposed to have food in there or something. I thought he would catch me with the weed. I told him no, I wasn't going to talk to him, because I didn't even attend school there. He said "Oh, alright," and walked away. I joked about this experience to Ryan and the female.

~

I was working at Kroger again. I was supposed to be a cashier, but I was on the wrong side of the register. The store was relatively empty. I was ringing up a lady, and she wanted to know how many points was on her Kroger Plus card. The store's system was messed up to where it told everyone that they had zero points, and I explained this to her. Then, she started telling me that I needed to do this complicated process to get her the points. I had no idea what she was talking about, so I left the store and let someone else take care of her. I was apparently going with my dad and brother to pick up my mom from the airport, because she had just flown in from Oregon. I remember being in the car with my family, saying that I needed to get back to work. I was worried that I was going to lose my job since I had just kinda up and left.

I returned to the store, and no one was at any of the registers. It was empty, apparently closed for some maintenance issues. I went back to my register, and they had moved it. My purse and other belongings I had brought there were sitting by the register. Then, there was an announcement that the store was reopening. At some point, I "remembered" how cashiers had to carry their extremely heavy, bulky-looking registers to the back to count them down, as opposed to just taking the drawer out to count it.

I was then at a table at the front of the store, dealing a game of Texas Hold 'Em, but it was mixed with Rummy. It was "Poker Night" or something for the customers. Apparently, this was my job. I was confused about the rules of the game, but did it anyway. I saw a girl at the table behind me, shuffling her cards all fancy, doing all these tricks and stuff. Then, half her cards fell onto the floor. There was a male employee sitting with me at the table, and he looked like Dr. Venture from the Venture Brothers. He looked at me with a concerned look, and I explained to him why I had to leave the store earlier. He said something along the lines of
"I rarely hire female employees, but you're the first that's ever had a fainting problem."
I said in reply,
"What? I don't have a fainting problem. Did I faint earlier?", but he didn't respond.

Then, I was looking at prizes for the game, or something. It was all meat, and was in a glassed-in cooler. I "remembered" seeing people chop off big chunks of the meats to give as prizes. One was just lobster meat shaped into the form of a lobster, and it was wearing bondage clothes. It was titled "Awkward Lobster". (WTF)

Dream - Lucid

I slept pretty hard last night, so a lot of my recall is shot till I had some dreams/FAs/weird experiences this morning. I do remember a fragment from the night though.

I was at my grandparents' house, smoking weed with my grandpa. I wasn't supposed to do it again for some reason, but I found some extra that I didn't know I had, and hid it away. I also almost took a whole bunch of my grandpa's weed, but decided against it.

I was in my high school's band room, but I think it was supposed to be elementary school. There were kids standing by the door, lining up like they were ready to go somewhere. The teacher, my old 2nd grade teacher to be exact, was standing at a podium at the front of the room. It was very quiet, and I realized I was dreaming. I examined my hands, and counted 6 fingers on my right hand. I looked at one of the girls standing in the room, Chelsea, and I said

"Chelsea! I'm dreaming!"

She just looked at me and smiled. The look on her face and on the faces of all the other kids who were now staring at me, was one of pity, like I was crazy and they felt sorry for me, but they were going to humor me by smiling and keeping silent.

I examined my hands again to induce some clarity, but I felt myself losing the dream. I shouted "Increase vividness!", and I still felt like I was losing the dream, but a little more slowly now. I felt one of the chairs closest to me, and felt the hard plastic material it was made out of. I started to fly through the ceiling, when I woke up into an FA.

I woke up in my bed, and looked at my phone for the time. 8:30, right when I was supposed to get up. One of our cats, Pounce, walked into the room and jumped on my bed. I pet her a little, and she started to scratch herself. She drooled everywhere (she drools in waking life, haha). I said "Are you drooling, Pouncer?". Her drool got all over one of my green school notebooks that she was sitting on. I looked up, and there was a TV in front of me, with some weird episode of Family Guy where everyone looked like purple aliens.

After this, I really woke up. Tossed and turned a bit to get a little more sleep before I had to get up.

~

I woke up again, this time to my alarm going off. I looked at my phone. 8:30. I tried to turn the alarm off, which was barely going off in the first place, and ended up accidentally resetting it to go off. I finally got it turned off, and got up to get in the shower.

I entered the bathroom. It was very dim, and the sinks were missing. It was also bigger than my waking life bathroom. I went to turn on a light switch, but the wall around it was covered in these light brown moving spots. I went to the other side of the bathroom to try to use the other light switch, but it too was surrounded by these light brown moving spots. I wondered to myself if they were bugs. I repeated the process of going back and forth a couple of times, now trying to turn on a light to see if the spots really were bugs. I decided that they were, even though I never got to touch the light switches to see for sure. I thought to myself "I could go to another bathroom without these bugs in it if I were dreaming."

Then, I was in my bed, but it took me a minute to figure out where I was. There was a mirror behind me, but when I tried to sit up to look in it, I couldn't see my reflection. In fact, moving itself was a chore. I could barely keep my eyes open, they were very heavy. I was trying to look around, but it was so difficult to keep my eyes open, just looking around my room was a chore. I closed them for a minute, but forced them open again, because I knew I'd wake up if I closed them. I wondered if I was having an OBE. I tried to fly, but couldn't. My body felt very heavy. I fell onto the floor, still with my eyes struggling to stay open. I don't remember seeing my body on the bed, so I was then very unsure of what was really going on. I knew I wasn't awake. I then got up off the floor, put my feet on the edge of the bed, and was lying down in midair, with nothing supporting my weight but my feet on the edge of the bed.

Very strange experience...very strange indeed.

I was at work, but I don't think I was on the clock. I saw Chris come in, and was trying to avoid him seeing me. I only saw his back, though. Never saw his face. He was standing in line wearing a black polo. I ran to the back, and there were dishes soaking in pink sanitizer in the first of the 3 big dish sinks. Usually they soak in the 3rd sink, though there were dishes also soaking in pink sanitizer in the 3rd sink as well. There was a guy working back there, setting many dishes in the 1st sink. I looked in the sink, and every dish that was in there was cracked and breaking. The guy didn't seem to notice. I started to freak out. Every time he'd pull one out, it would crumble and break. I went and got my boss. I told her she wasn't going to like what I was going to tell her. I showed her, and she said they had been having that problem all day. Apparently, the excess sanitizer was causing the dishes to break. I took some of the dishes out, or rather, pieces of dishes.

Then, Caitlin called me up and told me she wanted me to be maid of honor at her wedding. She was supposed to marry a guy we knew awhile back named Jarred. I was confused, because I thought Courtney was supposed to marry him (they dated back in high school). I told her I would be honored to do it. The ceremony was on Friday.

I then went back out into the dining room at work, and saw Chris's back again. He was sitting down, drinking a double shot of espresso. I went back into the back to avoid a confrontation.

I talked to Caitlin again, and she said she wasn't going to marry Jarred anymore, because he moved to New York with some girl, but they were still going to have a ceremony/party.

I was at school, taking (another) statistics class. Caitlin was in it with me. I commented on the teacher, and how I had had her before, and since she was very Chinese, it was very hard to understand her. The teacher started to teach and write on the white board. I looked at her again a little later, and she had turned into this very southern, red-headed woman I know that frequents the coffee shop. Still couldn't understand much of what she was saying.

Then, I was walking down the hall of what looked like my old middle school, trying to find my literature class. It was room 306, and I was in the 340's. I went down to the other side of the hallway, and found it. A girl I went to middle/high school with, Lauren, was there. She was commenting on some guy she was dating. I thought that was interesting, since she had been married and had a kid. I assumed they had split, and I didn't ask any questions. I also saw Nick, a guy I had briefly dated in middle school and had a quiet falling out with last year. He ignored me completely.

I entered the room, and the desks were pushed together in groups of 5 or so. There were few seats left, and Lauren invited me to sit with her. There wasn't a chair there, so I got one from another group and positioned it under the desk. The legs of the chair had to fit under it in a certain way, it was weird. The male professor started to lecture about some weird stuff, and drew a diagram of the inside of a mouth on the board. He was explaining how, to be good at literature, you had to talk a certain way and position your tongue a certain way. I copied the diagram, which had a weird, sparkly, optical illusion look to it on the board, and on my paper. I thought about the class, and how I had skipped it many times. I zoned out of the lecture.

Not gonna lie, I am so sick of dreaming about work and school. When I'm not there, I'm dreaming about it. Ugh. -_-

I was giving birth to these silk worm type things...it really freaked me out. Chris was there, and he told me that they needed a dry place to make a nest, and they'd come out as caterpillars.

The worms were very tiny, and so were their nests. Chris showed me 3 of them on the back of some kind of weird chair. He warned me that they had to stay dry, or they would die. I examined the little white nests on the weird, blue chair. A man sat in the chair, and his head came down on the nests. He then saw them, and started splashing water on them. I was upset, because he was killing them! Only one of the 3 ended up hatching into a big, fuzzy caterpillar.

I remember being at a crowded bowling alley. I was on my way out, and I saw these two Pentecostal teenage girls sitting at a bench, talking shit about someone or something. I thought this was very contradictory to their faith, so I was a little upset. I sat down next to them. One of them looks at me and starts talking to me. I say something kinda bitchy to her, and she gets all offended. I get up and leave, feeling satisfied with myself.

I went out to the parking lot to leave. For some reason, I passed my car and started hopping on top of the cars down the row. Then, on my way back to my car, I noticed that I was holding someone else's keys. I thought they must be the Pentecostal girl's. I dreaded going back in there to return them. I also couldn't remember where my keys were. I decided they must be in the front seat of my car, which they were. So then I was holding both my keys and the other keys. I decided to just give the other keys to the front desk, which I went up and did.

EDIT: Changed my mind and decided to type out the dream. I think I have it a little more ordered in my mind now.

I was texting some guy that I knew long ago, in elementary school actually. I didn't want my old friend, also from elementary school, to find out, because they had dated. I don't even remember what I said, I think I asked him to hang out. I was sitting in my elementary school's cafeteria. My brother picks up my phone, and I have a text from "josh ___ " (can't remember what his last name was). He announces it to the table, but it's not the same guy I texted. It's actually my friend Jared from waking life. He tells me he can't hang out that night because he is busy managing his club, called "Crazy Girls".

I then "remember" seeing a picture of a huge group of my femals friends in bikini tops, sunglasses, and cowboy hats. The back row is skinny, attractive girls, and the front row is bigger, less attractive girls. I remember the back row having my friends Courtney and Caitlin in it, and then the front I remember Rachel and Laura. There were about 10-12 girls in all. I "remember" getting invited to go rollerblading with them the summer that picture was taken on this walking path in my town, but I turned down the invite. I saw them, in particular a girl I was acquainted with named Casey, and then Laura again, rollerblading down the path, and then getting "discovered" by Jared, and getting their photos taken. They were now famous, and performed at the "Crazy Girls" club, which was named after them.

Then, everything was like a video game. I was in my brother's room, and I signed up to be part of this random selection mini-game type thing. Everyone participating (and there were hundreds participating) was assigned a cartoon character's picture for their avatar. I was some sort of cat. I watched the process of the random selection, which was the pictures of the avatars flying by on a screen with certain ones lighting up. Mine was apparently chosen, and I was in a mini-game in my brother's room.

Everyone in the game was shrunken, and we were trying to avoid being eaten by these giant cats. I remember being face-to-face with one. I was not worried about the outcome though, since it was only a game.

Then, I was in a Starfox-type game, though it was just a cheap ripoff. I was shooting enemies, and I heard faulty, fake Starfox music in the background. Then, I got to the boss, and he was supposed to open these huge metal doors and fly out, but he refused to open the doors for some reason, so the game ended.

Dream - Lucid

I was in my old apartment, in the bathroom. I had a record player and some old CD's I was playing on it. I think I was trying to play an old Eiffel65 CD. Everything was dark, and the remote for my record player wasn't working. I wondered to myself what made me want to live alone again, since I had moved home because I didn't want to live alone. I tried the remote again, and it tried to make me enter a password on the digital screen of the player. I didn't know the password. I left the apartment, and tried to call my mom because I was lonely. I got some weird hold music and a weird pre-recorded hold message. I saw many people in beds as I was going down the stairs. I had to step over them, because it seemed like their beds were just kind of in the middle of nowhere. I remember one of the sleeping people being an old friend, Alex.

I was shopping for bargian Christmas decorations and ornaments for my mom. I found a few, but they were ones she had bought and returned because she ended up not liking them.

I was then in my house, looking at these things through the glass of one of our cupboards. I asked my mom some questions about them, asking if she had previously had this blue Christmas decoration that lit up. It had big, blue stars and a cartoonified Santa on top.

Then, my mom started trying to come on to me? (Fucking WEIRD), and asked me if I was a lesbian. I told her no, I was 100% straight. Then, she admittid she was a lesbian. WTF MOMENT. I was dumbfounded.

Then, I was at this scavenger hunt thing with a group of sorority girls, the leader of whom was an old friend I met when I lived in the dorms, Nicki. I was holding a cute little handbag with a swirly, multi-colored 70's pattern on it. A girl asked me how to open it, because she didn't know how. The prize for the scavenger hunt was gaining access to some secret sorority information, which I didn't care about. I was just doing the hunt to humor Nicki. We went around for awhile, finding hints and such, when I saw my mom and one of my female professors (who is very butch-looking in waking life) trying to attach some sort of tag onto a magent on a refrigerator, proclaiming that my mom was a lesbian. They were having trouble with it, and, with tears in my eyes, I helped my mom attach the tag to the fridge. It was like an ID tag, saying she was gay. I went into the next room, and my mom was laying on a couch. I was very upset with her. I yelled,
"You're not my mother!", and she didn't say anything.
I wasn't upset because she was gay, I was upset because she had hid it and tried to cover it up for so long. I was upset because she wasn't being true to herself. I asked her
"Why did you even marry dad?", to which I recieved no reply. She just gave me a solemn look.
Then, my dad appeared in place of my mom, saying that a divorce would be too expensive or something along those lines.

I was in some sort of videogame similar to Little Big Planet. I was skateboarding up some obstacles, and kept having to restart because I kept falling back to the bottom of the course. I got to this huge, blue slide, and took a carpet-type thing and slid down it. Someone I knew from high school, an obese guy, was trailing behind me, saying that he could go faster if he wasn't so big. I was flying down the slide, having a great time.

I then figured out that my cousin was going to Germany, and taking Belle, my kitten with her for a 2 week trip. She was going to take her as a carry-on on the airplane. I had apparently agreed to let her do this, because she didn't want to go alone. I had told her that Belle was very "travel-friendly" (she's not at all in waking life). I remembered telling her this when we were very young. I regretted this decision.

Then, I was in the car with my mom, going to our house. I was crying and very upset about her taking Belle, because apparently, she had come to get her already and was gone. I tried to deny ever letting my cousin take her, but my mom told me that I had already agreed to it. I told her I wanted to change my mind, and I wanted Belle back. Nothing worked. I then figured out that they probably wouldn't let the cat over there anyway for some reason.

I started to wake up, but my head screamed "I'M DREAMING! I'M DREAMING!", but I thought it was too late. I was then back in the dream, in my room. I examined my right hand. I counted 6 fingers. I flew around a little bit, frantically thinking about my dream guide. I went down into the kitchen, and wanted to find the young black man from my previous LD. I told him to appear in the broom closet. I opened the door, and he wasn't in there. I then yelled
"Dream Guide, APPEAR!"
Nothing happened.
I started trying to float up through the ceiling, thinking about how easily I could fly in LDs now. I broke the celing, and saw lots of insulation. I floated back down, examined my hands trying to prolong the dream, but I inevitably woke up.

I was at work, at another location we had apparently opened up. I wasn't working, just observing. It was all men who were working there, and all they were serving was cold coffee drinks and food. No hot coffee. I saw a nasty kitchen that was visible to the public through glass. I saw a little black girl, and she started telling me about how she didn't want a grilled cheese because it had so much stuff on it. I asked her what she got, and forgot what she said. She said something about her daddy buying her houses. I answered her and turned around, and a girl in line thought I was talking to her. I told her I wasn't.

Then, Andrew, a man who used to work at the shop in waking life, told me they could used my help. I said ok. I looked behind the glass and saw this nasty machine that squirted mayo on sandwiches. I gagged.

Then, I was apprently on break from work, and trying to clock back in. I saw a touch-screen computer station to clock in on, and entered my number to clock back in, and this little mechanical arm with a small arrow-point on the end emerged. It started to prod and poke my hand. It didn't hurt, but felt very uncomfortable. When it was done, it said on the screen "SPECIMEN RECOGNIZED".

Then, I was in the car at a stoplight of an intersection. My friend, Jase, was in the car in front of me. He was talking on the phone and smoking a cigarette. The car was red and submarine-like. He was trying to turn, but was very close to my car. I ignored him, when I felt someone hit my car. Apparently, Jase hadn't been paying much attention to the road. I looked up, and Jase was wrecked into my car and a jeep. The jeep was totaled. The guy inside, who was about our age, looked very annoyed. We all pulled over, and I put my emergency lights on. Jase apologized to me, and I looked at my front bumper where he had hit me, and there was nothing more than a scratch. I told him it was fine. I thought that I was probably going to be late for work, but I didn't care too much.
