Last night was a better night in terms of recall, and I'm looking forward to how tonight will turn out. I have plans to use some isotones I found off of a site called iso-tones.com and will see if they help at all. But on to last night's dreams!

Abandoned Shack
Recalling the past parts of the dream is hard, and I can only offer a summary of what happened. I am with a party of people, possibly from my classes, who are investigating this abandoned, wooden shack. We are searching for some girl, but can't seem to find her and give up. Somehow, I learn that this is the only semi-habitable building located outside of a city.

The Mechanic and I
While I'm still with the group of people, there seems to be a "leader" who is making an effort to break into the city. He was like a cross between some mechanic and crazy inventor man who was trying to break us into the city. Something was said that there was a defense shield or barrier of some sort that kept people out, and we had to try to find a way in.

The dream took a slight, but apparent turn for the surreal for only a brief second as there was an oil well, that instead of shooting oil out, it was shooting out macaroni and cheese. I still don't quite understand the significance of it.

We eventually broke into the city and somehow managed to get a map of it all.

Inside the City
As the dream progressed, I soon learned that the abandoned shack was located inside of the "Projects" of the city. The reason why they sectioned it off was because of the prison located next to it and the terrible crimes that were committed.

I was now walking alone it would seem around a general urban area that looked semi-futuristic. The cars still looked normal, but the buildings had large screens on them and fancy architecture.

Things took a turn for the worse as a police task force began to "zombify" people walking on the streets before beating them down with batons. Why they were doing this is unknown, just that they were making arrests of some sort. There were two officers that started chasing people across a bridge. I jumped into a car with two other people and they drove after the officers. When one officer stopped and looked at the car, the man driving the car floored it and tried to hit him. The officer phased through and disappeared leading us to conclude that it was a hologram.

Later I learn that the officer employed the use of a hologram so he could attend his wedding, but his soon to be wife used a hologram at the wedding because she was an officer too hunting people down.

The Old Business Square
Things jumped a bit, as I found myself at a business square purchasing things at stores. It was a short fragment, but I do remember making a purchase but being told that they made a price mistake. The price went from about $400 to $80 something bucks. As I walked away, I reminisced about what the place looked like in it's heyday.

Conclusion
I think 3 dreams and 1 fragment is pretty decent given that dry spell I went through. I feel like if I keep forcing myself to write/type these things down, then I'll be able to maintain a consistent recall and start working towards lucidity. Figuring out more recurring dream elements besides the whole sci-fi thing would help too. Tonight will most certainly be better. Time to strive for lucidity! Happy dreaming everyone!
