      Dream 1
      Started off with me talking about lucid dreaming with my cousin Les, who was preparing to give a speech at this banquet hall we were at, that or he already had given one. Then I remember receiving odd texts from someone I beleive we decided was the Devil (lol), but I can't remember what was said.

      Then we were in a bus moving fast, but I can't remember the transition into the bus, may have been a separate dream. Noticed that we were in the top layer of a double decker bus in which the top layer was horizontally across the other bus, but crossed at the back making a T shape, but remember thinking this was odd because there was nothing holding the busses together. Was getting flashed scenes of a SUV of people travelling fast, presumably trying to catch up to our bus, and they were on the phone with someone who wanted them to go faster. I think I deduced that this was the devil, whom I was texting earlier.

      Was talking with a friend about the weirdness of the bus, who told me it was just a new kind of bus, although I still found it odd as the lanes were still the same width. Eventually SUV caught up with us and I now realized that my cousin was still with us. The man in the SUV was moving out of the sun roof with a knife, planning to kill my cousin with it by jumping through the open window at him. My cousin pulled out a skinny looking pistol, if that makes any sense. Turned in a weird fashion and shot him, and I woke up.

      Dream 2
      I was at school, about to open my locker which was at a different location than it usually is. A very tan old guy came up to me and told me that my dad did a job for him (my dad works with cars) and asked me if I could get something from my dad for him. I agreed and he then asked me how I was doing. I realized I was opening the wrong locker and I moved over to another one and the code worked on that one. He kept talking, telling me a bunch of weird sounding business tidbits, like that the "middle market is falling out" and that we need to "get back to the local polish market", and I woke up while he was still talking.

    2. First Entry - Wanderer

      I recorded this dream and the others in a few entries that follow this one on paper, but I'm not putting them online here.

      First recorded dream in my notebook.

      I was in my room playing video games with my one friend named John along with another person I can't remember. The room was cramped and I went to turn on the lights because of this :P, even more odd that the lights were already on until I arrived at the light switch. The lights would not turn on, so I went outside to the hallway to try the lights there because it might be that the power was off. In the hallway were a bunch of bed frames, without mattresses, or baby cribs, not too sure. In the corner of my eye, I could see a man who I remembered from an earlier dream walking into our house down on the first floor (I was on the balcony hallway). He was wearing all turquoise clothing for some reason, and from the earlier dream I think I deduced that he was harmless but, known for wandering people's houses. I started screaming at him to leave, but he would not respond nor leave, I woke up as I was screaming.

      Tigress and I are in a bar in California with animal heads on the walls. We are getting shitfaced drunk.

      We are talking about how stupid dreams are, and we hate having? what?

      Are we reallly drunk?

      I wake up in bed in my old house in Massachusetts.

      Nate? Is that you? No, it's MoSh. Uh... Raven and Tigress walk in.

      Then we are suddenly on the Moon.

      Weird.

    4. If it isn't love, it's not worth leaving.

      by , 02-06-2011 at 11:59 PM (Insights from Id)
      I am moving into a new apartment with my family. There are other people living there, a man and his adult son. The son ,whose name is David, is a few years younger than me and attending college. After moving in, I go out onto a walkway that faces a courtyard in the middle of the building. The courtyard is completely filled with water, and it is very deep. The walkway has no guardrails. As I walk, I see my daughter heading for the edge, before I have time to react, David pulls her from the edge. After securing her inside, David and I continue to walk. Suddenly, he pins me to the wall. He leans in to kiss me. I shrug out from under him. "Don't be silly," I say. "I'm married."
      "So what if you are?" he answers.
      "I love my husband." I look at him with sad eyes. I hate hurting people.
      He stops and looks at me. "If I were more fit, had abs and stuff, would you want me?"
      I sigh. "If I were single, I'd give you a chance, but anything that might be between us is not worth losing him over. I really do love him."
      I continue to walk. As I walk past an open closet. David backs me into it and closes the door. He pins me again and starts to kiss my neck. I push him off of me. "You just don't get it, do you?" I look at him angrily, my eyes demanding an answer.
      He looks defeated. "I'm sorry. I'll stop."
      I try to open the door, but it is locked. I bang on the door and scream, but nobody seems to hear. I decide that nobody is coming, so I sit on the floor next to the door. I see a figure drawn on the door (I don't remember what it was) and markers in a case affixed below it. I begin to color in the figure. I am almost done when the door opens. It is my husband. I throw my arms around him, glad to see him and glad to be saved. He pulls me aside. "Did he do anything to you?"
      I glance at David, naked defeat in his eyes. "No, it was an accident," I answer.
      After we all leave the room, I pull David aside. "I'm sorry I had to hurt you," I tell him. "If I had met you first, maybe there could have been something between us, but I love him. I can't lose him."
    5. Model ships and dumb sex

      by , 02-06-2011 at 11:41 PM
      Future wife (Fragments)

      I was in a house, with this fat girl. She was my girlfriend or wife and all of my family was there. We were really close on a bed and were having sex. We woke up in the morning and my family was still there. We were often close.

      Cop outside

      Me and my friend Rex were in a house that I've never been in before. It had an up and downstairs to it and seemed to be very block like. I noticed when I looked out one of the windows that there was a cop sitting in a car with his lights on right outside our house. He looked at me and didn't seem happy. I knew we had alcohol and weed in the house and this scared me. For some reason I found out that he would come in and search the house soon. I told Rex and we went and grabbed the stuff. I suggested putting it in the attic, but we decided that it would be better to put it somewhere outside. We went out the opposite door of where the policeman was. We walked down a sidewalk, to another house and put it in the houses bushes. When we were walking back a guy came up to us and told us to take it away from his house so he didn't get in trouble. We apologized to him and he seemed okay with it. We never ended up going back.

      Model ship

      I was outside on the beach making a model ship. It was actually really big but I was putting it together with my hands. They were huge block pieces and I was fitting it together to make a long landing craft. I stepped back from it and there was sand all around, where there used to be ocean. The ship had sucked up all of the water when I made it. Sand even lined the sides of the ship. I knocked some off and it uncovered a really bright green design.

      Later, somebody came and said that I had put it together wrong. This guy had been a jerk to me earlier. He was taking it apart, not like blocks, but piece by piece, tearing clunks of wood off of it and pieces of plastic. He said that it wasn't supposed to be as long. I went to the top of the boat to look at what he was doing. He had made it half the length as it was. There were lots of people carrying parts of the boat and rebuilding. He made a dome with an entrance that waves were coming into. The top of the boat now seemed to be on the same level as the ocean had been. He then started to be pretty nice to me and explained how it worked. He said that every couple of waves that would enter, would spin around the dome. Waves came in and rapidly spun around hitting me. It was pretty fun, like a ride at a water park. It did it another time and I jumped into the wave. It wasn't as strong as I thought it would be.

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      There were various zones. I didnīt like the one with dark monsters because they were disgusting. (I think the zones had something to do with the magic the gathering colours). [Blank]

      Because of aliens Earth was the last planet with humans alive and because the sun was getting bigger humans were becoming more like parasites of the planet. I saw some people in a building get grabbed by vines and thrown down into the inferno bellow. [Blanck]

      Grandpa simpson was a harpie, a member of an organization from both nations that just wanted to end hostilities. Then we were at a dinner and people were seated in round tables. On the tables closest to us everyone was nude, on the far away tables they were clothed. My borther told my father that some of them appeared on TV, and he mentioned Richard Dawkins. I started to explain to my father who Richard Dawkns was and his selfish gene theory.
    7. oops, I blew up your car

      by , 02-06-2011 at 09:53 PM (redisreddish's mess of dreams is still messy)
      Hehehe. Spent the night at my grandma's and had a kind of funny dream. I was at my friend Wesley's house and we were looking out the window at his mom's car. Somehow I had attached fireworks to the bottom of it and they were starting to go off. The car was flying all over the place and crashing into the ground amidst a bunch of explosions of color. His mom walked in and I yanked the shade down over the window. She walked around for a minute or so, making coffee or something, and then came over to the window. She put the shade up and looked outside.
      "MY CAR!!!" she cried. It was lying on its side, partially melted, in a smoldering crater.
      I just said, "Oh, my. How did that happen?" while Wesley tried not to laugh.

      There was another dream, but I forgot it as soon as I started typing this. I'll probably remember it in a few minutes.

    8. Brilliant dream recall!

      by , 02-06-2011 at 09:52 PM
      No lucids last night but I remember three distinctly different dreams.

      The first one involved me being given a verrry nice new car. I remember driving it from a holiday spot back home because I'd forgotten something. There was another car full of some old friends who were trying to keep up, they did surprisingly well until I got used to the car. I remember the view of my journey being similar to a sat nav at one point as it was birds eye view and I saw a dotted red line due to the fact we were going under a mountain through a tunnel. Tried some risky manouvres which nearly got me run over by a lorry. I ended up at my friend Brad's house and I remember admiring the car from the window. I was faintly worried about whether or not I'd locked it because I've done this in RL recently. Important dream sign could be that the logo for the car was an "s" for Saab, which is not their actual logo.

      The second dream involved myself and another guy in iron man style suits (recurring theme?). I have written down something about stealing his drink which I do not recall but I do remember that a part of his suit was missing, I saw his flashback where he had detached this part from his suit and it robotically killed another man.

      The final dream I recall involved me going to see Derren Brown live. I missed a very important dreamsign here as I remember being worried I wouldn't get in as I thought the tickets (which I own in RL) weren't for until June, not February as the dream suggested. When we arrived the interior was actually a theatre from my hometown, despite the fact the rest of the dream was in Bournemouth. I distinctly remember seeing that Derren had a black badge which said W.I.L.D's - 999. He then sat with me in the audience instead of performing and we had a conversation about lucid dreaming. I'm kicking myself now for not using that opportunity to RC. I also distinctly remember him wearing a grey jumper instead of his usual smart suit.

    9. Semi-Lucid Dream Number 2

      by , 02-06-2011 at 09:48 PM
      Hello, everyone! My second Semi-Lucid Dream starts here: It started with me on a sidewalk, walking down it. I became Semi-Lucid and climbed over the fence that was by the sidewalk and into a small area with trees. I started to try to climb the the telephone cable, you know, the ones that have a yellow wrapping over it? yeah... I stopped after a minute and went back to the sidewalk I was on earlier. Suddenly, a creepy man looked at me with a smile and then tried to kill me... yeah... weird Semi-Lucid Dream, right? I ran to the nearest store, put my hat on, and acted casual. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to lose his tail. So I ran into the store when I was going to call for help but he teleported right in front of me. I woke up and the Dream ended. The End

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING

      22:00

      Helping out
      Someone wants me to save someone else from something, but I clarify we’re just in a dream, so no point to stress out. This person cries. I promise to help.

      0:00

      Feeling two bodies simultaneously
      I was falling asleep, but then something strange happened: I felt I was lying on my bed, but although I know my BF was lying by my side, I could not feel him, so I stretched my hand out to reach him. At first I felt nothing, but then I felt his knee. He moaned and asked “what?”, I say it was nothing, but I was in such a state in between sleep and vigil, that I felt myself dissociating from my body: I felt simultaneously my “real” body on my bed and I felt myself floating above the bed on a dream or astral body. I made some sound like “wooow” and he moaned to me “are you ok?”. I was hardly able to speak or even hear my own voice by then, but I kinda moaned back “wow, I have two bodies!”, then he replied something like “you’re sleepy”, I laughed exhilarated and fell completely into the “dream body”.
      [in the morning I asked him about this and he doesn’t recall it happening. It might be that it was all a dream from the beginning, that the conversation we had was already a dream or that he simply forgot.]

      Chemtrails
      Already disconnected from my waking body, I watch hypnagogic imagery. I got caught on some image where I was looking through a window to the sky. Although everything I see around is dark and undefined, the night sky outside is very clearly defined and I see an airplane passing low and leaving a large trail. When the airplane comes back and leaves another trail, I am sure he is leaving chemtrails. I know I am not awake but I am also not sure that I’m dreaming. I go through a short blackout and then I find myself outside on the street under that sky. My mother is with me. We look at the trails and I tell her we should go inside because it might be some nasty chemical. She is very worried. I pinch my arm to do a RC, I confirm I’m not awake, so I don’t feel so worried.
      I turn back and face a large residence. We’re on the back yard. I talk to some DCs who seem to be college students. I go inside.

      LDers secretariat
      I meet my BF on some room, but he is very agitated and leaves right after. He goes down some stairs to the front door. I go after him but I halt on the corridor, because I see 3 doors all with signs on the door saying ”Lucid dreamers” or "lucid dreams". One is closed, the other is open and there's some guy inside but he is busy talking to someone, so I enter the last one. There’s a lady there, but she says I’ll have to come back later because she is on her break. I see she has a badge with her name, so I ask her if I can check her name once more, just so I can recall who she is on waking up. She is in a hurry and with very little patience, but she turns to me once more before closing the door and I read: Eliza Dias.

      Students protest
      I walk to the stairs and I pass by some window that I open to see what’s going on down there after all. The police are taking some kid in custody. His colleagues are protesting. I fly down to meet them and I ask what’s going on. They say the police came with a list of names and is taking away one by one. They say they did some demonstration days before and they are coming for them. Others don’t agree it is because of that and say a smaller group of protesters invaded a bank to stage some action there and the cops are only taking them. Meanwhile the police comes back and starts calling for more names. The kids form a block together, not allowing the cops to take them. I join them for support.

      3:00

      Bus ride
      I enter a bus and it is my friend M. Silva who is the driver. I had just bought a ticket at a counter at the bus stop but now I’m having troubles finding it. She says it’s ok, but I must sit on the seat across from her and talk with her. I was followed by friends – Zilla and others – who want me to sit with them on the back but I tell them to go without me. Don’t recall what happened in detail, but either she or some other lady who sat by my side freaks me out, because through her ears I can see the inside of her head, which has a big fire raging. I run to some seat somewhere in the middle of the bus, which now seems like some conference room. My seat has a board over it full of pens and pencils and I have to organize them all before I take the seat. Then I see my friends in the back who signal me to go meat them. I go. Outside is raining and my clothes are all wet. They hand me over something to wear. I change. I wear something apparently too sexy with large boots. Someone comments I shouldn’t wear those improper clothes, but I say I have nothing else and won’t keep the wet clothes on.

      5:00

      University
      Walking around some university, wearing a white robe, like that of doctors. I feel like I’m studying medicine there and I’m looking for a colleague because I’m worried about a paper we should have worked on. I pass by some open and circular room which is like a small projection room. All is dark, but I see people sitting on the seats as if waiting for something. I turn the lights on and the projector which plays a movie. They thank me. I spot some guy I have a crush on but he doesn’t say a word. Instead, some geeky guy I don’t like, grabs my arm to thank me and asks me for a kiss. I shake him off and say no. I run to the restroom. When I see myself in the mirror, I look awfully tired. I put some make up on, but I exaggerate and then have to take it off. I go out and bump into the girl I was looking for. It’s Mónica M. I tell her I’m worried because I didn’t do anything on that paper and neither she did say anything to me on that. She smiles and says “Hey, we’ve finished our courses already. Forget about the paper.” I suddenly recall it’s true, I have my degree for years. I become lucid.

      Trying to rip the dream fabric
      Dream fades and I end up on some place on the countryside where medieval dressed people seem to be building up a fair or a tournament site. There is a very high podium where two big guys are holding down some black guy and telling him he can choose either to be decapitated or thrown down that podium. He thinks the fall might give him some chance of survival so he chooses it. But it’s not going to happen yet, they are still rehearsing for the big date. I notice the black guy is some known comedian, so I guess this is all just a movie set and not a real thing. I walk down a road and at some point some people pass by me running because someone stepped over some beehive and the whole colony is after them and now after me, because they brought it in my direction. But I feel no stings, because I am still ware I’m dreaming. I am bored, I jump really high over some rice paddy fields and then decide to rise in the air. From up above I try to rip apart the dream fabric. I wish to get out of the imagery but not end in the blackness. Instead I wish to go to the luminous state of mind, free from imagery, where I can meditate free from distractions. But it doesn’t work. The best I can achieve is opening with my hands a little gap on the scenery from where a brief flash of light irradiates. I give up and decide to just plunge in the rice paddies, visualizing the light, hoping to meet it.

      Slaughterhouse
      I go through the blackness and suffer brief SP vibrations and sounds (a long time since it happened), then I find myself on a belt of a slaughterhouse, among dead bodies of cows, heading to a giant saw. I know it’s a dream, but still the idea of being cut in half creeps me out so I jump out of the belt. There are parts of animals everywhere, blood splattered on the walls, the image is horrendous, but I try to keep calm. I make a prayer for those beings and recall the light once more. Some light invades this dark creepy room through some slits on the walls.

      The Light
      Dream fades again and I go through SP one more time. I hear a Bollywood song playing in my head and I feel gentle vibrations throughout my entire body, rising from my feet to my head. It ends with vibrations on my 3rd eye. I hold on and find myself on a very luminous landscape. Below I see grass and trees, but above the trees there’s only a very bright, radiant white light pervading everything. I wish there was only the light, so I rise up in the air, to leave the ground behind and be totally immerse in the light, with no images to distract me. I imagine myself sitting on a lotus flower in mid air. But once there’s only light in all space, my mind starts to drift and I am dragged once more into SP. Then my BF moved and woke me up.

      7:00
    11. A whole lot going on...

      by , 02-06-2011 at 09:23 PM
      I'm on the corner of the two streets by work and it's night. I'm running, and I run around the block, but come up to my street. There are two people behind me and I feel kinda freaked out by them like they're chasing me. I run up to my house, and I see the two people (this is so random) are DR and MB from high school.. (they've been together since they were 15, I think they're engaged now). They say they want a recipe for linguine and clam sauce, so I'm at my front steps and I think I can just look in one of my mom's cookbooks for that since I don't know the first thing about making that. Then I'm standing in front of the TV in the family room with them and I have my phone out. I'm taking a picture of myself, but I think it's really odd that I can see myself on my phone as I'm taking a picture... hmm.. I look at my hand and it's kind of out of focus, like when you wave your hand in front of a computer screen... a ha! Dreaming! I feel like I don't have a lot of time.. "what can I do, what can I do..." I start to walk into the dining room and I hear my mom say "Ohh look who's here! Hi G---!" I'm smiling as I walk by the dining room table, and GB is coming in the door from the garage. I say "I can't wait to tell you about this!" and I walk over in front of him. I can see his eyes very clearly, and I tell him "Just stay" and I kiss him. I'm very, very aware that I'm kissing him, I can feel everything, even his body against mine. At this point my mom says she's going out. I hear someone behind me, I look and see a kid from school DC, and he's just normal.. but I think he's drunk. I say "You've got to be freaking kidding me". GB sits on the couch in the room behind the dining room and I hope he waits for me. I think at this point I lose lucidity, because I became absorbed in getting DC out. I try calling a cab for DC, but I keep getting a sex hotline. The numbers I'm dialing aren't showing up as I dial them on the phone, like I press 4 and it shows up as 8. I try a few times and I just don't understand why I can't get through. I go downstairs and there's a shower at the very bottom of the stairs, but I walk through to the other side. I see lotion by the big TV, and I put it on my arms and hands.. and DC is following me around. I feel like I'm rushing around and kind of frustrated. I never made it back upstairs.

    12. Lucid Flying 05/02/11

      by , 02-06-2011 at 09:13 PM (My Wapped Dreamscape)
      Became aware of myself in Gainsborough Road, a place I used to live as a child, I was awair of hearing voices and took out the MP3 ear peace out but the voices continued and found I had another ear piece in there (I normally go to sleep listening to an audio book on my MP3 player) so took that one out. Mother next to me and I told het I think that I'm dreaming, tried flying but only managed to hover for a few seconds. Tried again by flapping my arms, felt more like I was swimming upwards rather than effortlessly flying, shouted to everybody arround that this was a dream. As I came back down, I noticed that there were several chest freezers on the grass, and decided I wanted to try and see what dream icecream would taste like, asked my mother for some, she said "anything for you" went to the freezer, but when I looked in, she had just scraped together ice in the empty freezer. Tried my hand at flying again, getting to about thirty feet up, looking down, noticed an upper class type making a political speach, let myself sink and landed behind him, and started mockingly gesturing pretending to be an ancient roman senate politition, at which point I woke up.

    13. Pretty awesome lucid dream

      by , 02-06-2011 at 09:13 PM
      Dream Lucid Partially lucid

      February 6, '11: Had another successful WILD. It took a long while, and I moved a couple of times. But eventually I imagined that I was moving, and I felt my dream body move.

      I got up. It was dark. I rubbed my hands together and on my body, and looked at my hands until my vision got better. I was in my old bedroom. I opened the window and stuck my head out. I shouted out to the sky "Hey dream!"
      I heard my own voice return from the distance, it said "Hey!"
      I shouted "What force is keeping me from doing what I want?" (thinking mostly of past lucid dreams, but also waking life.) It was a little difficult saying it right.
      There was pause and the voice just said "Hm."

      I almost woke up. I tried again and asked the same question. The voice answered and said "fear cells."
      I asked what that meant. It had something to do with internal fear.
      I asked "How can I overcome it?" but I don't know what the answer was, or if there was one. As I was asking these questions, the window opening kept getting smaller and I was somehow stuck.

      I looked at my hands throughout the dream to stabilize.

      Then I went outside, crossed the pond on some kind of tarp that was over it, and I climbed up onto the bridge (all of this is in front of my parents' house). I was barefoot and I felt the wood of the bridge with my feet. There were some guys walking around wearing what looked like hotel uniforms. The pond was now purple and boiling, with lots of waves and steam coming from it. I asked one of the guys what it meant. Either he responded or I concluded that it represented my "inner turmoil."

      But I said, "It's not always that bad. See, it's calmed down." It had calmed quite a bit, but was still very wavy.
      I asked how I can make it better. The guy said "grouse."
      I said "what's grouse?"
      Turns out it was a meat that a lady was handing out to people. I asked the lady if I could have a piece. She wasn't very outgoing or friendly, but she gave me a stick and a piece of the meat to put on the stick.

      Several people were going down to the water to fry the meat on their sticks. I kissed a girl in passing. I didn't want to get too distracted by sex.

      There I saw Julie. I said hi and told her that she was dreaming. She just said "OK." She was happy and friendly, but didn't seem to care about that. We went down into this little room area with a wooden floor, where the frying stuff was suppose to be. But it was all gone. Someone commented that the floor wasn't even warm.
      I shouted out for heat. I didn't feel any, but the other people said it worked.

      I sat between Julie and another girl, and talked. I noticed that the patterns in the wood floor looked like letters. But they didn't make any sense. Suddenly Julie kissed me and I got very aroused. She said that it was my dream making her do that.
      Gradually I was losing my lucidity. I told her that in waking life I like her but I don't want to have sex with her. And soon after that I woke up.

      This is a significant lucid dream for me because usually dream characters in my lucid dreams are not very responsive. But these were definitely responsive and conscious dream figures. Also because it's the first time I've addressed the dream with a question.

    14. Car Park Hassle 04/02/11

      by , 02-06-2011 at 08:56 PM (My Wapped Dreamscape)
      Talking to someone sitting at a stall in an open market, then went to walk around rest of the market, interested in several of the home made cakes that were on sale, but remember thinking that I could come up with a better stall than the ones that were on display.
      Found myself heading to my car in a public car park, but as I was getting to the car, senced that there were a couple of thuggish men who meant me no good, tried to get into the car in a panic, but car wouldn't open, finally did when I felt them to be close, and got the car into reverse and backed out of the car park as the doors were decending. felt a crunch as I exied the car park and got out of the car in a daze to check the damage. A couple of old ladies were arround me, and I noticed I was in underpants, went to get into car but accidentally got into one of their people carriers only to realise my mistake when one of them started telling me off.

    15. Day 8: Recall Fail : End of week 1

      by , 02-06-2011 at 08:49 PM (A Penrose Mind)
      My recall failed me today. Well not completely but this is the worse it's been since I started recording. Right now I'm trying out different techniques of how to become lucid (I can't just try to poke my finger through my hand all day), so if you have any techniques (preferably ones that involve DILD) I'm all ears.

      Before sleep I thought about two things, Lucid me and my dream guide. Lucid me I only saw once on the elevator. He looked much tougher than me, and I can't help but think about him. Was he some sort of projection of who I wanted to be? Or is he an actual dream character, one I can have a conversation with? What are his hobbies? What's his favorite colour? Of course I haven't seen him since the elevator, but if I ever do see him again I'll be sure to ask him these questions.

      The other thing I though about was my dream guide. How awesome would that be? I know it's a bit early to be thinking about one, and you can't just necessarily make one appear, but it would be nice to have one. Someone to help train me, be my mentor. I'd like some help with this whole lucid dream thing, I have problems becoming lucid in the first place let alone fly. I was thinking about what my DG would look like, would it be male or female? Would it be as tall as me? As old? What colour is its hair? What colour is its eyes? Will it even keep the same appearance? Questions, questions...

      Anyway my recall was a bit crap today so I'll try to explain in better detail today.

      Fragment 1:
      I'm leaving my friends house. It's getting dark out so I start to head home. The neighborhood I'm in is unfamiliar and yet I know exactly where I'm going, it's almost like I'm being drawn to something. It's a suburban area (based off a place I've been before). There various pine trees, houses, and it's very quiet. I see a small girl, maybe 6 years old, jogging along past me. It appears that she is being chased by an old man, but she doesn't seem frightened, she actually seems quite calm. She goes through a shrub, taking a short cut to hide from the old man.

      "Be careful!" I call out to her.

      Now it's starting to rain. Not to heavy though, not yet. It looks like there's a storm coming in. More and more I'm drawn to this location. I find myself at some sort of corner where several houses are located. I've been here before. Now it's really starting to rain and it's getting really dark. There's no way I'm gonna make it back home. One of the houses, I know I'll find shelter in it. Instead of going to that house right away, I decide to go to the house next to it. I knock on the door and an elderly woman answers.

      "Do you know me?" I ask her.

      "No." she replies, a smile on her face.

      "Oh, okay." I tell her.

      She closes the door and I go to the house. The door is open a crack. I peak inside. My aunt, uncle, and cousins are inside. I walk in and greet them. We have a conversation about how crazy the weather is.

      Fragment 2:
      In this fragment I'm in a different body. I'm a cowboy, and I'm having a duel with another one, who kind of looks like Indiana Jones. At first I completely forgot how a duel goes so I just shot him (though no bullet came out). We then got to each others backs, counted down from ten, and turn around. Then a man from behind us draws a gun and shoots the building to our side. The whole front of the building falls off. We go towards him. He says that the ghost train is here and that we need to watch out. Suddenly, the building (or what's left of it) catches fire, except the whole ding is made of brick.

      "See!" He tells us.

      "Only the work of the ghost train could do that!"


      Those are the only two fragments I remember. Well it's been an interesting, to say the least, week of dreaming. This week I had 15 dreams in total, and two out of those fifteen were lucid. I guess I have a long way ahead of myself.
