(It's been one month since I published an entry. I know, I should remember to do this more often...) Anyways, I could only remember some details from last night, and I don't know if they were part of the same dream or not. Well, here I go... The first part I could remember was that I was in a hotel. The lobby was about two stories high, and I walked out the back doors into a small outdoors area. The area was fenced, and from what I knew, there was some sort of Dubstep concert going on beyond the fenced area that only people 18+ could attend. (I believe that you had to be 18+ just to walk in the fenced area...) However, the only person in the area was someone who looked exactly like my band director. I knew that it was not exactly my band director (considering that I saw her inside the hotel), but the look-alike only looked at me and looked away. After that I decided to head inside. Later, I decided to head back to my room on the tenth floor of the hotel. This time, I decide to take a different elevator. In this elevator, all of the buttons are near the top of the elevator. I somehow reach to press the button to take me to the tenth floor, but when the elevator stops, I arrive at the eleventh floor! I correct the elevator's mistake by pressing the button to take me to the tenth floor. While going down, I somehow float to the top of the elevator. (Was the elevator going ultra-fast? Could there be lots of space between floors 10 and 11?) When it got to the tenth floor, I hit the floor, almost hurting my crotch in the process. When the elevator opened, I arrived at something strange - a restroom with both men and women in it. The people inside paid no attention to me, but as I walked out, I noticed the restroom was labeled as a restroom for both men and women. Finally, later in the dream, I go to some form of restaurant. The person seating the people decides to seat me with another family. I realize I forgot my phone, but my mom managed to come. I started to play on my 3DS, but as my mom told me to turned it down, I slid the slide down to the bottom. However, when it reached the bottom, it still played sound! (Gah, dream sign...) Eventually, I pressed down hard on the slide, and the sound finally turned off.
(I haven't done these in a while!) First Dream (Non-Lucid) While I couldn't recall much from this dream, I do know that I was in the basement during a family reunion of some sort. Off to the side, I notice a Nintendo Wii system much larger than what it usually is (with a lot more buttons). Luckily, the mega-Wii would help me become lucid in my third dream. Second Dream (Also Non-Lucid) I was able to recall this dream better than the previous one. I don't remember exactly who appeared in this dream, but I do remember two people - a substitute teacher, a high-school sophomore man, and a high-school sophomore woman (And possibly a high-school freshman woman). I find myself in the school rushing towards the business computer lab in order to get some items I forgot to pick up for fourth block. (They were mostly electronics such as my laptop and my tablet.) I manage to get into the class (while it is in progress), and I come across the substitute teacher. The substitute teacher is one of the grouchier ones of my school, and when she asks what class I just came from, I told her that it was from this class - boss battles. I would have said Computer Applications in real-life but since this was a dream, I said boss battles. After that, she started going on about how my class was "useless" but somehow, we started playing what my class played. It was based off of a Blockland gamemode called "Boss Battles", and in that gamemode, one person was the boss and tried to kill others before he could be killed himself. Of course, there was respawning and the boss had more health than the rest of the players. I was the boss and I got a ShockWave weapon (Which I associate mostly with Blockland), and while I tried to push people out, the ShockWave would only lightly tickle them. However, as I advanced on them, rather than fighting back with their own weapons, they simply ran (which I don't know why since in Blockland, you would respawn if you died). Around this point, you're wondering where the two sophomores came in. They had minor roles, for the male one was the one that was tickled by the ShockWave and the female was one of the people running away. Third Dream (Lucid) I find myself in the basement of my home. I notice the mega-Wii from my first dream and realize that I am dreaming. To confirm my suspicion, I tried pushing my finger through my hand. While it it didn't go through, it did go farther than it was supposed to go. I started making my way upstairs after that. Along the way, I said "Oppa Dreaming Style" and began dancing to Gangnam Style. Once I arrived in the kitchen, I decided to dream spin. However, once I span, I was still in the kitchen. I realized that I didn't have a destination in mind, so I decided to go with a snowy place. I started to imagine snow in my mind while spinning, but I was still in the kitchen. However, this time, there was some snow on the ground outside. I decided to spin again and this time I started to think about Skyrim's snowy lands. While I didn't land in Skyrim, I did notice that the ground was completely covered in snow. I told myself "Close enough" and proceeded to spin again to remove the snow from the ground. When I opened my eyes after spinning I noticed that some snow was melted. I decided to melt "All of it", and when I span again, the snow wasn't completely melted yet more was melted than previously. Those were the three dreams I remember. Also, next time I have a lucid dream, I should visualize my dream the day before so I'm not completely lost.
Before getting into the dream, I was sleeping in a slightly more uncomfortable position, ready to give WILD another spin. I'm doing pretty good, and just as sleep paralysis is coming on, I suddenly get this urge to pee. I'll survive, I thought to myself. But as time went on, the urge got worse and worse. Eventually, the urge won, and I went downstairs to pee. Turns out, I peed for about two to three minutes before finally returning to bed. At that point, I'm like, forget it, I'm sleeping comfortably. After that thought, I get in the most comfortable position I know and doze right off. When I get into my dream, I land in the bathroom, right after I took a shower. I look right to the towel rack and on the left I see four towels stacked on one another covered by a huge piece of paper with green font about 'How to dry off'. This stack was for four steps, while the one to the right was for three steps. My shower went under the four-step category, and I reached for the first towel to begin drying. Afterwards, my dream skips over to where I find myself in the front hall of my county's elementary school. Apparently, I'm going to the library to help out with... something. I turn right into the library and notice a sign-in sheet in front of me. I put down my name and my grade (And it was pretty funny to see the order go 2, 3, 1, and then 9). After signing in, I notice my friend Jaret, another helper. He walked me over to this machine that would make really good waffles from bread. I put a piece of bread in, and when it was done cooking, I took it out. Turns out, it was still soft bread, only that it looked like it was buttered. After that, I look over at the clock. Now, while you might begin to suspect that I'm about to get lucid, I don't. (Sadly.) The clock reads 7:30 - only five minutes until the high school day started. I walked over to my English teacher (Who was also in the library), and asked her if she could call in a bus for me. She went over to the phone and ringed in a bus. After talking, she asked me a few questions, and that was the end of the elementary school portion. Next, I find myself back at home, and I begin to try to heat up the pieces of bread... in the fridge. I should have seen this as a dream sign, yet I didn't. (Silly me) After that, I woke up. Funny thing is, I don't remember the dream when I woke up, yet when I took a shower, it all came back to me. (Woo!) So, I guess I have my daily shower routine to thank for reminding me that I had a dream last night.
Last night, I tried to have a small go at the WILD technique, yet I did something the webpage warned me not to do - get too comfortable. I managed to get myself to do that, and turns out, while I didn't have a lucid dream, I did have two dreams. However, while because I slept again after waking up after those dreams, I completely forgot them. (Silly me!) But as I fell asleep the second time, I almost had a lucid dream. I was beginning to remind myself that this was a dream, and I think I reminded myself to the tune of the Bohemian Rhapsody. (I may have even saw a faint outline of the singers while dozing off) However, as I began to dream, I began to wake up as well, getting more distant from the dream. Eventually, I totally wake up, only to remember the previous dream rather than the two I had earlier.
