Tonight was certainly a better night. I had two dreams that were interesting. The first one took place in some strange setting and the other at a gym and band room.

Breaking In
I am on some island with a few people. I don't really recall what we were supposed to be doing though. It was in the afternoon, and the sun shone brightly on the grassy hills. I don't recall any trees, just grass. One of the hills is positioned in the center of a tiny gulf, making a crescent shape of water. The hill then turns into a mountain and erosion eats away at the ground making ravines. I am still exploring the area with those few people, but then the dream "plot" changes. The hill is now a mine in which people have been working at. Making use of the emptied part of the mines, a building resides on it with underground rooms.

I can't recall specifics of the topside building, but I know it spanned from one side of the hill to another. I was standing near the building with the others when the ground suddenly began to shake. Some sort of cave-in had occurred, but nobody really paid mind to it. Details get fuzzy, but I recall going down into the mines and examining all the damage, but then coming back up for some reason.

The group I was with, included the owner of the building. Nobody on the island cared for him, but suspected him as the cause of the cave-in. He'd left to head to town, or some grocery store, and the party I was in dispersed. All but two other people stayed with me, and we had decided to go into his house to see what it might have been that could have caused the collapse.

We then made our way down through the mines and came across his entrance to his living space. The building was like some underground laboratory, with long glass corridors crossing a large chasms and with many rooms in between. Once again, recall gets fuzzy, but I remember that the owner made sure to keep the rooms as secure as possible. Each door had a unique lock that took all three of us to crack, it we didn't, it would either kill us or alert the owner and we didn't want to take a chance finding out which one.

Some rooms had robot prototypes in them, others had genetic experiments, all of which were benign when we examined them. After crossing the large chasm through the corridor, we turned left and then made a right, bringing us to his room. I don't know what was in this room sadly, just that we found what we were looking for. At this time, one person was on guard to make sure we weren't caught, and the other was helping me explore the room. We stumbled across an extra opening that led to the surface and all decided to go up, but that's where my dream recall ends.

Jazz Band
This one is relatively short. I was in my school's band room getting ready for some concert. My teacher told everyone that there were some new instruments that came in. One of them was a weird piano looking instrument. I got on it and started playing a song, and everyone joined in. Nothing as exciting happened in this dream though.

Conclusion
Well, my recall has been getting better. I notice that a recurring theme seems to be settings that take place underground, and have futuristic technology to them. Overall though, I think the reduction of stress in my life has contributed most to my increase in recall. Happy dreaming!
