Dream - Lucid

I was in a hospital. Dr. House was there, and told me that my feet weren't getting enough blood, and that's why they hurt a lot (they don't hurt in waking life). He said we should amputate them because they were basically useless, and I said no.

I then was somewhere else, in a room somewhere, and Dr. House walked in with 2 prosthetic legs that looked completely different from one another. He was still using his cane. He sat down on a chair by the door. The reason both of his legs were prosthetic was because of some mistake made in trying to treat the original blood clot in his thigh.

Then, I saw a regular customer at the coffee shop I work at sitting in a chair. He too had 2 prosthetic legs.

I looked down at my own bare feet. The skin looked red, like they were inflamed or something. I still refused to get the surgery. I needed my feet.

I was somewhere, but I can't remember exactly where. Something did seem a little off, however. I decided to do a reality check. I looked at my hand, and my index finger looked disconnected from my hand. I tried pulling on it, and it stretched kind of like bubble gum. It's a dream!

This dream already seemed pretty stable, so I didn't do much stabilization. I took off to fly a bit, as per usual. I looked up toward the blue, cloud-spotted sky as I took off, and saw what looked like the tops of telephone poles and wires disconnected from the rest of the poles. It was like they were floating. Weird.

I was then on the ground, standing in a driveway next to a drab, silver car. I looked away for a second and imagined it being a neon yellow. I looked back, and it had completely transformed into a shiny, sleek, new yellow sports car. I hopped in, and gunned it down the road. I watched my speedometer climb up to 70, and I kept pressing down on the gas. I was going pretty fast, and, it being a dream, didn't have to worry about any cops! I remember passing many cars as I zoomed down the road in my shiny new sports car.

I remember being back in the driveway, and transforming the car again. This time, it turned green for a second before it turned yellow.

I also flew again at some point.

~

I was on some team that did lots of chemistry and other science experiments. We were outside somewhere, like in a mix between a forest and a cave. I picked up what looked like a small ant farm with no ants in it. It was important for some reason.

This dream went on for a bit, and I remember trying to get the other scientists to listen to me. That's all I remember, though.

In waking life I watched my son's photo journey through Alaska last night. It sent me into one of the longest dreams I've ever had.

It started with me being brought to an Alaskan home in the wilderness. A large family wanted to see if I could help them find some relatives who were lost on a river fishing trip. They were several days overdue and no one had heard from them.

I woke from the dream but quickly re-entered it.

I took part in their family activities as they told me about the missing members. I ate dinner with them and watched as they washed their kid's faces and sent them to bed. This part of the dream lasted a long time as I followed them through their daily routines.

I woke and then re-entered the dream and I asked if they had a deck of cards because I wanted to do a tarot reading on the situation. I expected that they would only have regular playing cards, which I can read, but I was surprised that they had a tarot deck.

The deck was different than any I've ever seen but I asked the father to pick a card and he did. The picture on the card was unusual but I was able to tell it was the 5 of Rods. I told the father that it meant some kind of minor conflict or argument had lead to them being missing.

Then I woke from the dream but quickly re-entered it again. I re-entered this dream at least 4 times that I was able to count. Now I was talking to the father again and he showed me that he had a knee injury and that he couldn't go searching for the missing family members.

I told him that I was in pretty good physical shape from running and bicycle riding and that I could go searching for them. Then I woke and re-entered again and now I was hiking through the wilderness and I had a rifle to scare away the bears. It only made a loud sound, it didn't fire bullets.

I woke again and thought that this was one of the longest dreams I have ever had. I wasn't even trying to re-enter it but it just kept happening.

Now I re-entered again but this time I found myself in a pine forest in Florida. I knew I was still in the Alaska dream but now I watched as large pine trees began falling into one another like dominoes. I knew that something like sinkholes were forming under the trees, causing them to fall.

I thought to myself that Edgar Cayce, the sleeping prophet, had predicted that half of Florida would sink in the future. I felt like this was it.

The first dream I had involved me and my family at some sort of underwater zoo. We could breathe underwater but i forgot to do a reality check. We started diving around and looking at the animals around in the water. Then the feeding show started for the alligators however my mom and younger brother were still inside the water. I didn't know what to do. I saw the employees making a circle of people around the alligators so I guess they won't attack any spectators. My dream ended soon after.

I also had many thoughts this night. When I woke up I started thinking about my old dreams and being in them. They felt real for very short amount of time and vanished away. I first thought about NYC and the WTC attacks, and then I thought about flying in the universe.

The second dream I had involved me and my mom sitting at a table in some kitchen where I have never seen before, and she shows me a wine bottle that has a picture of the Matrix on the front and I asked her how much the price of the bottle was. In the dream I had a thought of the price and it was $47.00, however my mom said that it was $48.00.

My third dream was me standing on the Brooklyn Bridge and looking at an Al-Qaeda member and I saw a bomb strapped to his chest and neck. I jumped on him and removed the bomb and threw it in the water. I also had other New Yorkers hold him down and I went to go look for more of them. I found about 3 members of this terrorist organization and I had done the same thing to them. We killed them all and my dream ended soon after.

non-lucid lucid comment

Tonight I properly worked out my wake back to bed time, using 90 minutes per REM cycle I chose the third REM to wake up. I also used sleep cycle with a wake period of 15 minutes, so I get the maximum REM period, wether this helped I do not know. (Going to upload my WBTB Sleep Cycle pictures from now on.)




I am in tesco with some friends, this guy searches me, and some staff tell me that he is there to find hazzards, one tells me he's really creepy and annouying. I become weary of him. For some reason we all decide to see how many of us can fit in one toilet cubical, the cubical is blue and large, there isn't enough of us to fill it. Hazzard man comes instantly and makes a massive fuss, chucking us out. I tell him to back off, he says no and grabs my motorbike helmet, and begins peeling off the sticker, I push him off it and tell him to back off again.
Vision changes and I'm charging at him, we are having a massive fist fight in the middle of the store, it's quite fun.

Quality = 6/10
Recall = 3/10

I am sitting in a circle of people, I think we are all dressed like warriors from games, I know I am wearing plate mail although I feel no burden (even when lucid), there is a women across from me wearing brown/green cloth clothes.
I can't remember why, but I become aware, I do not do a Reality Check, I don't need to, I know I am lucid, it is very unstable and bad quality.
The second I become aware I feel pushed back on my real life body, as if it has gone completely stiff. My arms feel forced into place, like in iron man or dead space 2 when you change your armour, a machine holds you in place, it was like that.
Impressively the first thing I attempt to do is stabalise, it's hard to describe, but the dream was only appearing in the top right of my vision. I grabbed it and brung it down, then I fell to the floor, eyes pushed up against the floor hands grasping the surroundings, this stabalised the dream.
I go round a corner and fade out, ergh.

I'm in this house where a single dad and son lives, I get the feeling I am the dad's brother, I remember sitting in a dark room discussing whats going on. I am sleeping in this large childrens bedroom, I have a laptop, I put the laptop down to go to the toilet, when I get to the toilet all there is is a kids potty, I begin, but realise why the hell am I doing that.

Quality = 8/10
Recall = 7/10

I'm in my bad, it's not a false awakening because I know I'm dreaming, again no reality check needed. It's my room now, and the laptop I was previously using has changed colour to white (from black) and is gigantic, wedged in my room. The dream is already fairly stable, as I am calm and not too bothered.
I decide to try flying, it comes very naturally to me but there is one problem, I can only do it on my back, for so my back is facing the floor. This is quite annouying as I can't see where I'm going, I explode out of the roof of my bedroom into the street outside, I float down to the pub. I observe the surroundings, it is very clear, but there are bits of blackness, abit like google road view thingy.
I consider doing the ToTM I imagine a dark night lake, but I don't go there for some reason, then I'm in this fog. There is a voice narrating whats going on. Apparently I am too close to my eye ball (yeah I know it doesn't make sense) and I am begining to fade out. I have to swim to stay up, I'm loosing control, strange monsters begin to swim after me, they are composed of an eyeball and a tenticle to swim, there are hundreds of them, I attempt to swim away. The voice says "if you see cars you will be coming out of the fog." I look desperately around for car lights, none. I attempt to teleport by closing my eyes and spinning but before I spin, a monster bites my on the hand (doesn't really hurt but puts me off) I keep swimming through the fog... CAR LIGHTS! I swim towards the car lights, and a dream scape begins to appear, I look down and DCs are helping me away from the monsters by carrying me. I look around considering to ask them for a gift, I lose thought and see a beautiful women in front of me, I've lost so much concentration I fade out.

i had a dream about my fiancee giving birth outside in a waste land and i ran to my home to get help. i returned and the baby was born and it was a boy. we took him to my mums house and then i went to get something from my brother. when i got back the baby was a girl, i just assumed i had made a mistake. i was then outside and people were walking by me and before they got to me i recognised them but once i took a second look it was not them

i was gutted i did not become lucid as there were loads of oppertunities to do this.

My dream last night was lucid. I was in a house, about mid-Renaissance Era, and sitting by a fire. It was about December, I think--around the holidays.

All I could really think about was wanting a really good book to read and an unfamiliar male walks up to me.

He smiles slightly and hands me a book that I look over. After that, he disappears.

I open the book and there's a hole in its center. In the hole is a diamond ring and a necklace with an inset sapphire blended with emeralds.
When I look up to see if the man's still there I open my eyes into the waking world.

What do you people think it could mean?

11th Entry:
Date: 09/12/11 (for 9/10/11 and 9/12/11)
Sleep Times: 11:46-6:00, 6:00-7:00, 7:00-7:30, 7:30-8:00. 8:00-8:12

Per usual lately, my dreams have been getting a little dusty. I think I'm hiting some sort od dry spell... I'm going to however remain optimistic!

Last night, In recall the vision of painted faces. I remember my face being painted I believe like one of the skeleton people symbolic of El Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead). I remember further my dream being sort of inspired by the music of one of my favorite bands, Ludo, from their album Prepare the Preparations (namely the song "Skeletons on Parade"). And quite possibly, their song "The Horror of Our Love" from their album, You're Awful, I Love You. I was supposed to be prepared to fight against something which I don't recall...I remember seeing the faces of my friends, and they were evidently captured by it or were supposed to help me.... I don't exactly remember how, but they WERE there and had mud on them at one point... As I said, my recall has been a little funked up this days....I think maybe because when I stayed the night at my friends, I threw my schedule/routine out of whack. However, I am definately getting it back on track now!

END ENTRY

I drempt that i was in charge of heading and taking people to meetings. I remembering wlking to take my dad to a drem in millbrae and we walked through a hotel and there was a buffet but we ke kept walkinga and did not stop

So the one good thing about sleeping through a few alarms and snoozing? I jumped into some dreams. I don’t remember being lucid, but it was fairly vivid. I’m in a game shop with tons of people ranging in ages from 10 year olds to adults. We are all there for something and then they started giving away packs of pokemon cards. I hadn’t played pokemon since I was a 10 years old (I’m 22 now). I can vividly remember opening up a bunch of packs. I assume the job was to make a deck to play with out of a certain number of booster packs, because we started playing soon after with our new cards. The shop is crowded and I just can’t seem to make a full deck. I have to run and ask for 2 more packs that I saw left behind the counter. The clerk gives them to me reluctantly but he seems to understand my frustration. I can remember many of the cards I picked up. A lot are exsisting cards I’ve recently seen and cards that I used to own. I remember getting that feeling of joy when opening a new booster pack. I felt excited and anticipated getting some great new cards to stomp everyone in the tournament with. I play a DC that I apparently knew and he wept the floor with me. Then things transition into a friends house. I see a chess set which is themed the University of Texas VS. A&M University. It also has dice that are themed appropriately. He explains that I can have it if I wanted.

Move-In Day
I am a college student and it is move-in day. When I get to my dorm room, it is FULL of stuff. There are boxes piled very high. They are "bank boxes", the kind with lids and handle cut-outs. They are not all the same color - there are lots of different looking types of boxes. At first I think that it is because Jenny must be my roommate and she has a lot of crap that she thinks she needs to bring to school with her. I am a little disappointed to find out that Jenny is not my roommate. There is a young, thin blonde with short, wavy hair. She is holding a baby in her lap. I think she is sitting on one of the boxes. There is a young blonde guy there too. He is trying to put a fish tank on top of one of my little, black, wooden tv trays. I try to tell him that the fish tank is too heavy for it. It is top heavy and will tip over. He doesn't pay any attention to me.

Can't Find My Class
I am in a high school. It looks a lot like the highschool I graduated from but different. I have lost my registration form. I spend a lot of the dream trying to find out where my next class is supposed to be. I finally make it to class. It's a topic I am not familiar with and I feel like I am already falling behind. When class lets out, I again struggle to find out where my next class is. There is an administrative office but they don't seem too helpful. I find myself wandering the halls. I end up in the bathroom, staring at the inside of the stall door and I realize that bathrooms are one of my dream signs. I say aloud, "This is a dream!" but panic as things start to go dark. I lose the dream and wake up.

Zombie Games
I am playing a zombie game at night, outside with a lot of people. Most of the other players are kids or teenagers. I recognize a few of them, like my cousin and some of my friends. We get "infected" by players that are zombies. They throw a grey cloak over us when we get turned into zombies. Then we have to go back to the base and shamble out to infect other players. The players just run around in the dark and try to avoid the zombies.

The scene shifts and now there is a game show host that is surrounded by a crowd. We're here to see someone defeat the zombie on stage. I get impatient as the previous contestant fails to kill the zombie. They take so long that my buffs start to wear off and I need to reapply them. I am apparently my BloodElf Paladin tank character from World of Warcraft now. I can't wait for my turn to smash the zombie up with my holy hammer.

Strange Cat Lady and Deck Building Project
I am at my Grandmother's farm house. At first there are only a few people around. In the living room it is just one of my guy friends and a woman I know from the roleplaying meetup. She's different though, she is very slow witted and very socially awkward in this dream. We're playing some kind of game where we are all three on the couch. I'm at the far end and she is in the middle. My guy friend is at the other end.

As we play she decides to put her head on his shoulder and snuggle up to him. I get very jealous, because this is something I would like to do. She is using her stupidity and awkwardness as an excuse while he tries to tell her to get off his shoulder. I say something rather mean to her and she gets up in a huff to leave. He gets mad at me for being so rude to her. He defends her saying, "The cats like her enough," as if that is a good way to judge someone's personality.

There is a cat here in the dream now. It is a black and white cat with long fur. It's very friendly and keeps pestering me. I'm now sitting on the floor when some relatives come in. Uncle Gary and my cousins help me set up an electronics device. At first it looked like a laptop case but it turned out to be something smaller like a PDA.

Everyone goes out the back door of the farm house to work on building a new deck. They tell me not to bother. I try to remind Uncle Gary that I helped build a handicapped-accessible ramp for my dad and that I had used his power drill before. I go out the back door to help. I grab onto the railing - it is not level. (This is how my uncle actually builds railings for porches and decks in real life. The top railing is tilted to drain water better). On top of the railing is sitting a big piece of wood that has a heart carved into it. I carefully reposition it so that it doesn't fall to the ground.

Night of 09/10
I'm playing basketball on a team. I'm pretty terrible at it. There is a lot of bench time for me. I don't feel too disappointed because everyone seems nice about it. After the game they video tape me as I take some shots, to improve my skills and coach me.

Night of 09/11
I'm in a hotel room with my sister. We must be on a vacation or a road trip together. The comforter on the bed is dark blue with a light, flowery pattern on it. I slip off the bed and end up sleeping on the floor for a while. One of my guy friends is there on the floor too. I pretend to sleep with my head on his shoulder. It feels nice.

Had several dreams last night, some of them fragments.

In my first dream (fragment), I am at a hotel or office somewhere with some friends of mine. All I remember from it is that I had several bumps or welts on my face, neck and arms, like from a bug bite. But on closer inspection, the bumps seem to each have a little window on top of them and inside you can see tiny mechanical or electronic components. They look something like small Borg implants from the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation.

An interesting side note: I actually AM staying at a hotel right now in Roatan, Honduras. And you have to constantly stay sprayed down with insect repellent because there are these little no-see-um bugs that bite and leave welts like mosquitoes. I’ve been lucky and haven’t gotten bitten but some other guests at the hotel are covered in bug bites.

In my next dream, my soon-to-be-ex wife and I are in a car and I’m driving us somewhere. When my wife finds out what route I took, she makes a comment that I should have taken a different route because it’s much shorter coming that way from where we live. I agree with her and suggest that next time we use her Garmin and follow the route it tells us to go. She likes that idea. This dream seems to repeat itself a couple of times, or maybe we’re just going to different places.

In my last dream, I am riding a bicycle. I had parked my truck and was trying out riding my bicycle from where I had parked my truck to a specific point, either work or home, I don’t remember. There is another man on a bike following behind me and he gradually catches up to me, since he’s going a little faster than I am. We greet each other and I explain to him what I’m doing, telling him I’m doing it to get more exercise. He tells me that’s a good idea and we end up giving each other advice and pointers about riding on the roads. I stop at a point along the way to meet some friends and eat lunch (or dinner) and invite the man inside to join me. As I’m inside, taking to some friends about a book I just read, I notice that the man I invited in has the exact same book in his hand. I don’t remember the title or author of the book, but I think it’s about bike riding.

I remember me in a dark room with dark curtains surrounding the place and i was with my best friend, i then had a phone call off another friend and i said "yeah ill come roudn to yours" i left the building and began to walk, then i realised how far i was actually going to have to walk and thought "fuck this" so i walked back up to my house, on my bed was my dog, a little king charles spaniel.
As i pressed my face onto hers like i normally do she began to bear her teeth and growl (dream sign that the DC wasn't acting as it should because my dog is a complete wimp) she growled and got into an attacking position, so i left the room.

I walked back in and an ex girlfriend of mine was sat on my bed, but at the time - she wasn't an ex girlfriend, we sat on my bed and begsan to kiss, we then cuddled naked and began to have sex.
We werre cuddling again watching T.V and everything felt amazing and i was really in love.
Suddenly i heard a noise and turned over, my door was slightly open, this because my door was broken.
My parents were there saying "were trying to fix your door" as i was trying to shimmy over to the door under the covers to close it.
Then the door swung open and a bunch of my friends were there like "eyyyy!!!!" i was like "fuuccckkkk guys fuck off im naked!" they whipped off the cover and my girl grabbed my cock and pulled it and it stretched out to the door and richocheied back like elastic. (fucking wierd i know)


I don't remember much after this part at all during the dream i could remember and i rememebr it was very very long.

The next part i remember is becoming lucid.

I was levitating a person with my telekenesis - i was using a dream power which i think it's how it clicked. I was dreaming, i knew i was dreaming but i continued to levitate the person into this really dark musty room, i put him down on the floor and said "ok" i felt myself getting relatively exited and remembered what someone had said on a forum here on dreamviews when i kepy waking up too short from LD's despite trying stabalisation techniques.

i thoguth to myself "get lost in the dream, don't think about waking up" i looked down at my hands and inspected the creases in my palms, i knew this wouldnt be enough, i rapidly rubbed them down my body feeling the bumps in my shirt and then rubbed them really fast accross my legs, i felt the coarse material of the jeans and the sensation of the jeans on the palms of my hands made the phasing out turn into clarity.
I looked down at my hands again and licked one.
I then looked and i was standing on a white dirty matress so i said "what the hell ill do it anyway" i bent down and licked the matress, licking the floor being a stabalisation technique, the mastress tasted salty and of sweaty clothes (i used to chew the wrist section of my jumper in school, a bit like that.)

i thought to myself " this is cool, but i think i'm going to do what i've not done yet and i should do, explore the dream world and enjoy the experience"
Just to clarify i tried to push my finger through my palm - nothing happened i was ramming it through thinking in my head "i am dreaming though, maybe im not dreaming?" then i did the nose plug and it worked.
(the finger through palm decides not to work regularly)
I morphed myself through the window i was looking out of and floated down slowly into the courtyard past a bush, it was night time.
I looked up at the sky and the starts were brighter than i've ever seen then ever, they were like glittering diamonds on a black sheet, i decided it was time to change it to day time so i could see better.
I looked into the sky and said "day time" and clicked my fingers, also thinking of daytime in my head - nothing happened.
So i tried something else. i pointed my finger and the moon and swished my finger downwards, nothing happened.

I looked around and there was more than one moon, i pointed to them one by one swishing my finger down, on the last moon i thought of daytime and thought about the moon dissapearing, i swished my finger down and the moon quickly spun downwards and the sky got lighter, the stars almost exploded into dust, as if they had been pinged off the black sheet from a person on the other side, the sun swung up very quickly from below the horizon.
(this being the first time i've ever changed the weather or anything)

I then carried on walking through the grass and i got to a hole but just after the hole was a fog which i couldn't see past, much like the fog of war in RTS games, it was like this was the edge of my current dream plot, i waved my hand and the fog retreated and dissapeared, i looked down into the hole and everything was sort of pixelated, i laughed and said "this is just like minecraft".

I continued onwards and there was grass above me, like i was in a cave, i flew upwards and put my hand out onto the ground and charged my chi into my hand and began to completely remove the grass as i continued to fly upwards.

I got to the top on a hill and thought "what should i do then?" the first thing that popped to my mind is how ravenknight and wakingnomad meet on the moon, to see if i could indulge in shared dreaming, i have created portals before i thought to myself.

Then i remembered i had agreed to help someone on this website take part in his project on lucid dreaming, the first thing he asked me to do once i became lucid was to ask a tv to show me a new colour and to feel enlightened.
I spawned a tv and it was an old box tv, the screen blurred with static, i said to it "show me a new colour" it flashed a number of colours then an orangy beige colour was on the left half, and purple on the other.
They then morphed into each other and became static again, as if they had completely nullified each other out. I got confused, before i knew anything there were two creatures sat beside the tb, one was square with eyes like a childs toy, stuck onto him by glue and the other was a four legged animal in the shape of a horse but, not quite a horse.
The box one said "hahaha you're no longer dreaming", i realised i was actually looking at very intense HI on the inside of my eye lids at this point.

I remained still to try to DEILD (i wish i hadn't have done this it's led me to forget the bulk of my dream)


I got back into a dream and i could hear "snuff" by slipknot. A song i was listening to before i went to bed.
It was the same as in the video, where the guy was dressed up as a woman, corey taylor walked outside and i wasn't present in this dream, rather looking upon this DC's life from a third person perspective.
He was actually a detective, talking to his boss asking what had happened, the whole time he was doing this he changed in and out of womans clothes almost morphing between the two witout me noticing, the song snuff playing continuously.

I woke up



Things i acheived?
I broke my curse of waking up instantly from an LD through the mentality of thinking about waking up i will put a thanks note in to the guy that said the statement that helped.
telekenesis.
floating/levitating
flying
charing chi
changing the time and weather for the first time
moving fog away for clarity.
Helping someone on a project.
Seeing a new colour.
Second lucid within a week.

Good morning, everybody.

Dream #1

I was in a huge building like a church. The building was actually made up of a few different kinds of buildings, all joined together. Some of the sections may actually have been more like a school building. But the part I was in was like a huge, dim sanctuary in a church.

There were other people in the sanctuary, but only a few. I was at a distance from most of them. A priest was also in the sanctuary.

I was concerned because a girl (possibly H, though at least at certain points in the dream she may have been a blonde woman) was really upset about something. The woman was at the very other end of the building. But I knew she was so upset that she was planning on leaving this building, and the neighborhood it was in, altogether.

I knew I needed to stop her. But I didn't know how I could. I knew I'd have a chance to stop her: she'd have to walk past this end of the building as she ran away. I imagined the woman in a gauzy dress, almost as fancy and long as a wedding dress, running away through a mostly barren ball field that was just outside the sanctuary. A door in the sanctuary was actually open to this ball field right now.

Everybody seemed to be concerned about the woman. The priest told me, "Well you just have her come outside to meet me. I'll play some sports with her, and that'll get her to stay."

I thought the priest was being kind of stupid. I thought to my experience with people professed to be "analysts" in the business world. I thought how they always thought they had such great solutions to problems. But, really, I reflected, they just messed things up even more than they had previously been messed up. The priest kind of reminded me of an analyst. So I didn't want to trust him.

Soon the woman (who may now definitely have been H) went running through the ball field. I ran out and stopped her. For some reason, H, the priest, and I all started playing something like hockey in the ball field.

The three of us at first just seemed to be knocking the puck back and forth to each other. Then it eventually seemed like we were playing against each other, as if each of us were a separate team.

We each had a hockey stick made out of some kind of metal, like the metal on doors or coverings for sidewalks, with criss-crossings of metal nubs all along the surface. The sticks were painted red and blue. At some point, the sticks may have been made out of something like very thin balsa wood.

The priest, H, and I were all in a kind of fun scuffle, trying to get at the puck. I didn't feel like I was being brave enough about getting into the middle of things. So I worked my way in even more. The priest said, "What are you doing in the middle of things like this? You aren't supposed to be out here like this. You're a goalie!"

I realized the priest was right. I was a little ashamed of myself. I walked over to some area that I now designated the goal. I figured when ----- (I don't know which of the two) shot, I'd stay brave and do my best to catch the puck, no matter how hard the puck was or how much it hurt my hands. I also figured I'd stick my hand in amongst the fighting sticks to grab the puck, even if the sticks hurt my hands.

I looked behind myself. I may have seen a beige curtain of heavy, velvety material. The curtain seemed to be as big as the curtain for a big theatre.

I was with my friend from work, Sam. We were near my old middle school but walking away from it and towards my house. It was a cloudy day and it had been raining because the ground was extremely wet.

Sam and I were messing about. She was running and I was trying to keep up but being careful not to slip on the wet ground.
