    1. Charity shopping and a pool

      Lucid
      Non-Lucid
      No lucids... But still ecstatic about my second one!!!
      ----------
      I was ina large undercover but outdoor area with my entire grade. We were all eating lunch in our little groups when one group suddenly ho9pped up and ran out. They left behind all their stuff. One of our teachers, Miss H, picked one of the lunch boxes up and started auctioning it off... for free. She gave away all of their items and then proceeded to bring out a bunch of clothes. The first shirt that I got I showed it to a girl called Daniella beside me, "Oh! That's Chloe's!" she said.

      "I thought so, that's why I got it," I lied.

      I gave it to her and went up to get another item. Then I got a third. They were pooh bear pajamas. Apparently the teacher didn't like it when people got three items so she made me stand on the table and hand cuffed me to it.

      ----------
      I was with my mum in a little kids clothing shop. I looked at all the frill dresses they had and a pink one I saw was $200! I was so surprised but I looked at the one next to it.
      "That one looks so nice," I said. Then I looked at the price tag - it was only $30.
      "I could get that for you," my Mum said.
      I hadn't been expecting that but I still wanted the dress. I laughed and told her I was completely sure that that was the one I wanted yet and continued looking around the stoor.

      ----------
      I was at Shelley's house, I was going to go swimming. I knocked on the door and she opened it (this wasn't her real house). She showed me a room with a closed door, "You wanna look at the giant moths inside?" she asked eagerly. I declined and we found the living room. She then went off into another room to change into her togs. I changed out there in the living room and I didn't notice until I was done that her Grandmother was there sleeping on the couch. Her grandmother had a funny expression on her face, but she was still asleep.

      Suddenly my sister Laura came around the corner and asked me something. I replied and then she left. I stood up to go look around the house while Shelley finished getting changed. I found a room and I didn't know what it was, but I opened the door and saw Shelley's mum in a red shirt, making her bed. I quickly shut the door and ran away. I came to the door which Shelley said the giant moths were behind. I opened it, expecting them to be all over the wall, but the room was more like an art studio. On a countertop were figurines of all different kinds of moths that Shelley had made.

    2. "Still... Wondering" January 31, 2011

      by , 02-01-2011 at 09:58 PM
      Last night's dream was so weird. I remember I went to a meeting where I was being honored for something. Girls were screaming my name saying nice things to me about how they have always liked me and how I have always been the cutest boy and such. Later, girls began to hold up cards or something still giving me compliments.. don't remember too much of this dream and don't understand what is was about.
      Anyways, non lucid

    3. Swiss village, voting

      by , 02-01-2011 at 09:57 PM (Tomas's DJ - "Exploration of the inner Self")
      In this dream, I live in a small uphill village. It reminds me of some strange merge of a Swiss and Czech village. Swiss for the surrounding nature and Czech for the structure of the village and the type of architecture. There is a curvy road running up the village and old houses scattered around.
      I know that there is some sort of voting taking place. I am not sure what for. I remember getting an information (I think on TV) said by a man, that "there are two parties competing for our votes - Christmas and Easter". I am laughing at this in my mind! :-D thinking 'what a nonsense' (strangely don't realise it is a dream!).
      I am walking up the street, when I notice a girl and a guy. He is wearing green shirt and a green some other green top over that. I see them running across the street, running into a house and then out on the other side. I am standing dumbstruck there, trying to make some sense of it (yet no dreaming realization). I carry on walking up the hill. I get to a village train station. There are several lines. One train passes by fairly quickly.

      Then I am still in the village. There is Dustin, the dog we used to have. Small, sand-like colour, really cute dog. I remember that he always runs away as soon as he is off the dog-lead. We are taking him for castration. I think it has something to do with it. We are coming from the vet-hospital. I am looking at the wound. It looks just like a small white spot.

      NON-LD
      Dream I; I am a secret agent and we are on a mission to save animals from the forest. There are Mankeys (Pokémon), trying to steal away some animals, so I go out and be brave. I hide the animals behind a tree stump and stand in front of it, looking at the Mankeys. “Hey there. What are you looking for?” I ask them, trying to get on their good side. “An animal about this big and this wide, it’s blue and small.” They reply. I shake my head and make a small, “Tsk tsk” noise. “I think they just got taken away to a zoo.” “Oh, okay. Thanks for your help.” They reply and walk back to their van.
      Dream II; I smile and walk back to where I came from, looking at a street. The agent bus was there, so I got on it and looked at my friends. “I warded them off, I’ll try to catch up to them later.” I say, sitting on a small seat. A few minutes later, we can see a small town. “Hey, I think I see them!” I shouted. “Go get them!” Everybody cheered. I smiled and hopped off the bus, going toward the bus that had the Mankeys on it. The bus stopped and I climbed aboard, holding a small burr I picked up from the ground. “Hey! I think you dropped this a while ago.” I smile. They chatter in confusion. “You know, when you were looking for that animal? It’s a weapon that can be thrown and it sticks to the enemy.” They all nod and smile. “Thanks!” They respond. I get off the bus and walk back to my own bus.
      We arrive at the town and I get off. All the kids from my school are there! I smile and look at all the buildings, looking around. I saw this guy named Richard; he was sitting on the roofs of people’s houses. I approached my friend and asked, “Why does that guy always sit on the roofs?” She responded, “I don’t know, he just does.” I shrugged and entered a building. I don’t know how I got up there, but I appeared sitting on the window sill outside. I stayed there and looked up at the sky. Richard appeared sitting next to me and he smiled. “You know, I was thinking about getting you two a birthday and Christmas present.” I didn’t say anything and stared into the sky. “I was going to get you fdklfjdhglkdjsair and pehgislfjbeng.”
      [That’s what I heard him say, all gibberish to me. I woke up in the middle of the sentence, how rude am I? :-)]

    5. A Dark Goddess

      by , 02-01-2011 at 09:44 PM
      I found myself in a strange land. I was alone, in the middle of a road. The ground had been beaten to dust by the countless feet of men and horses. To my left was forest, and to my right stretched a vast, golden wheat field. Among the wheat, not too far off, had been erected an arch made of crudely-hewn wooden beams. The structure was not very impressive; it stood no higher than my neck. Yet, I knew it had been constructed with an earnestness that told of its sacred duty. It was a tribute to the local god, a god of agriculture. A god of harvest, peace and light. I approached the construction; I stood before it and considered it. “What kind of god do these people devote this to?” I asked. “What kind of god has only wheat and peace to offer? A weak god, surely; a god of farmers and cowards. A useless god.” As I stood before the wooden thing, there appeared a figure beside me. He was clothed in pure white, fair and beautiful. His head was adorned with short, golden curls.

      “Who are you, to question me?” he said. “What can you provide? Nothing. You are not fit to judge me, nor my people. I provide light, bread, warmth. I provide all they need. There is no better god to care for a people than me.” He continued to talk in this way, telling of his power and ability, until a second figure appeared. Along the treeline which surrounded the wheat field, there appeared the form of a woman, dark and terrible. Her beauty was that of the raven, or the night itself. She wore all black, and her skin was of such a dense darkness that no light played upon her features. The upper portion of her face was an intense blue, the color of woad. She was fearsome to behold, yet I believed her to be most beautiful. She only showed herself for an instant, and was gone. Yet it was long enough to stop the speech of the god. He had caught sight of her and was rendered silent. I could see he was stricken with fear.

      I had gone on my way, down the road. I stopped to sup at an encampment I came to, a small stockade on the countryside. I sat at a wooden table, eating my bread. The land stretched out before me; in the distance I could see the warriors preparing for battle. To my right, a large pen contained all the animals: swine, horses, dogs and cattle. I watched as I ate. Presently, I became aware of a form beside me. The god I met earlier sat close by me. He was angry about the trick played on him. “Without me, there would be no bread for you to eat,” he told me. He wanted to convince me of his power, of his worth. He wished me to believe he was the most powerful and worthy of worship. “What power could you possibly have?” he challenged me. He looked at me, and for an instant my face took on the appearance of the dark goddess. He became startled, but he continued to challenge me, asking what power I had. I decided to show him.

      I stood, and made a grasping motion with my hand. All the animals before us began to writhe in pain, wailing and crying out as had never been heard before. They kicked and bit at each other in their agony. The god looked uneasy, but he did not seem impressed. I uttered the word, “die.” Soundlessly, they all collapsed to the ground. They did not stir. The pen was littered with the bodies of the animals. “What good is that?” the god asked me, though he had gone pale. I stretched out my arms, and the dead animals all rose up again. They broke out from the pen and rushed at the warriors, and a battle between man and beast broke out. My body became as a great raven, I flew over the scene and chose the men who fell. The god of light was speechless and horrified.

    6. The first Magician.

      by , 02-01-2011 at 09:42 PM
      This dream I had when i was about 15 (nearly 10 years ago). I don't want to forget it.
      I was a man. I was tall, but i don't remember what I looked like. I was new, all Humans were new to the world. I was on this large island with a tribe of people. I felt i was one of them, but yet separate. They looked up to me, they were smaller than me. We built huts near the beach out of the wood and palm leaves on the island.
      One night, however, there came a great noise from the woods. A huge boar ran out and into the village, destroying nearly everything. It was a sore loss, we had to rebuild a lot of it. We lost quite a few villagers. A week passed. In another night out from the woods came a many-headed serpent creature. I fought it this time and killed it. A week later the villagers came down with a disease, boils etc. This was too much for me, I decided to go into the woods. I did not know what I was looking for, but i felt there was something behind this.

      I wandered far into the woods, almost to the other side of the island. I took my spear with me. All of a sudden i saw a strange wooden structure. I looked around and saw that there were many of them. Look out posts? I looked up and saw odd flying circles with people in baskets (now i know they are like hot air balloons). I looked into the distance and there was a huge wooden tower. At the top of this tower there was a figure looking out the window at me. He was sallow-skinned and had long straight black hair. I knew he was behind everything that happened to my villagers. I took up my spear and tossed it at the flying circle. It fell to the ground and i slit the throats of the men inside. I ran for it.

      The magician was chasing me, catching up with me. I was good at running through the thick woods, but he was faster. I stopped and turned around. The magician launched a huge light-ball at me. I felt that i could fight this way. I made a barrier around me that split the light in two. The magician was astonished. We fought long and hard. Ages passed. The magician and I were constantly fighting on and off. There was a conflict in me. I loved the magician deeply, more than anyone could love another human. We were like each other, we were equals. But I was fighting to defeat him.

      A blind woman one day came to me. She told me that there was a lion born in the mountains on the island that was the only thing that could defeat the magician. I felt that i had him now. I went to the mountains and found the lion in a cave. It was more like a manticore. It followed me willingly, knowing it's purpose for being alive was to defeat the magician. I lead it to the magician's fort. It killed him.

      I felt empty. My other half, my equal, was gone. What have I done? What will I do now?

      I woke up.

    7. Breaking things

      by , 02-01-2011 at 09:15 PM
      Dream Lucid Partially lucid

      February 1, 2011: I attempted the same WILD method as the night before.
      Slept for 6 or so hours, awake for 20+minutes, focused on breathing while lying on my back.
      I felt close to success several times, but no vibrations. Eventually I moved to my side and had regular dreams and a partially lucid dream. I did not remember to do any of the things I meant to do.

      Dream: Ricky Gervais (I think?) was swimming in a small pool. strange things started happening. His body did impossible things and a few times there were two of him. I was seeing this from a first-person perspective.

      Then I was in the kitchen, on the floor. I knew I was dreaming, but I was not fully lucid. There was a cat who was being mean and scared of me. I had a false memory that the cats always act that way in my dreams. In fact, they don't.
      I got up and walked to another room, saying dramatically that I had full power, but then remembered that I didn't because I was still learning.
      The house looked like my grandparents' house (mother's side) but I thought it was someone else'
      (I was not thinking clearly because I did not seem to be fully conscious).

      I pulled out a drawer from a dresser and dropped it on the wood floor. It bounced a couple of feet and surprised me. I dropped another one and it bounced higher.
      There was a small mirror that I tried to break with the handle of a hair brush. It didn't break at firs. I saw my reflection and I looked crazy. The mirror did break after a few hits. Then I walked through the house breaking other things, like a glass table.

      Soon after that I woke up.

      I have noticed that when I am only partially lucid in a dream, I tend to start breaking things for no reason. I wonder why....

    8. Mini LD

      by , 02-01-2011 at 07:49 PM (Nom nom nom, Mmmattelicious...)
      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Good morning! Did a few mantra's before I fell asleep last night. "I will lucid dream" and I actually managed to get one! LD's during the weekdays are very rare for me, and even though it was extremely short I'm still glad I had one.

      22.20: Sleep

      02.00: Fragment
      *I'm watching two people having sex. The girl's ontop.

      04.00: Cancerhospital MILD
      I'm with my mom and my sister and we're walking through different doorways in a huge place. We're going to some hospital and after some time walking around we arrive at a ramp. At the top is the main entrance and we walk up to it. I remember meeting an old lady a while ago, some kind of relative. A couple of very old women greet my mom at the door. They smile at us and I can tell they've all got cancer. They're pale as ghosts and thin, with dark circles under their eyes.

      Suddenly I get dizzy and head down the ramp again. "What's wrong Matteh?" my mom asks me, following. "I don't feel like being near death when your cat died just two days ago" I tell her. I can see clearly again and my mom heads back up. Suddenly my cellphone starts ringing and I pick up. It's my dad and he tells me I have to enter the hospital. I don't care what he says, and I give him a long "Nooooooooooo" in a calm tone until he hangs up. I check my phone and pocket it. I decide to do a RC to make sure I'm not dreaming.


      My hands are very dark and I count six fingers. "Oh cool I'm dreaming" I think as I watch my hands for a while. My thumb goes completely black. I realise my vision isn't the best and that I need to increase the light. "Light! Light!" I yell and the whole world lits up. I'm glad it worked like a charm, but suddenly the whole world starts to crumble.

      05.10: Fragment
      *I'm sitting on a toilet and doing my business. I try to flush while sitting on it and suddenly water comes rushing through my legs. It's clogged and I desperately try to scoop the water up and funnel it into the drain on the floor with my feet while still on the toilet with my pants down.

      05.10: Wake up

      Amount of sleep: 7 hours

      Supplements before bed: 2 x Omega-3

      That's it! I'm hoping for another LD tonight, will ingest some B6 so I'll atleast have some long and vivid dreams.

      Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

    9. Afternoon nap

      by , 02-01-2011 at 07:18 PM
      Very annoying experience! Had an afternoon nap (with the intention to LD!) and when I woke up found that somebody was trying to get into my room. One of my flat mates friends came in and I tried to usher her out as I was just in boxers and in my bed, so didn't really want her seeing me. She decided not to though and kept pushing me to get off with her, I didn't take the bait as I have a girlfriend and have no intention of cheating on her.

      I woke up again.

      All of the shenanigans turned out to be a FA which prevented me from being able to RC.

    10. Crazy method for go to the disco // Showing the town of my grandparents to a friend

      * Special feelings and other things *

      Crazy method for go to the disco

      I don't know why, but in the most of my dreams, all the people are friends, or people of the RL ( Real Life).

      I was in a room with a lot of friends, and all we were going to the disco, then, I didn't know why, but people went to a rural house and we were in a muddy courtyard ( te rear part of the house ), queuing in front of a bodyguard for buy the tickets.
      Suddenly, I appeared in an other queue, with all my friends, outside of a very modern local. A handsome girl of my high school put her arm around my neck and said me with a seductive voice:

      - You've got girl for the disco - she winked smiling.

      In this moment, I was feeling so good, in love.

      Then I remember myself inside the disco. It was a modern site, with neocontemporary architecture (this style: Arquitectura neocontemporanea ) with a big pool in the center, and sexy gogos dancing with very little clothing (hell yeah!).

      In this moment, I wake up and i did the semi-WBTB ( because i continue with the dream, but whitout being LD ).

      I started to search my sweet girl, but I don't remember anything more...

      Showing the town of my grandparents to a friend (frag)

      *This dream was before the disco dream*


      I was with a friend showing the town, it was night, and some beautiful girls greeted us. (yup, i feel pro º,..,º ).
      Suddenly, i was in the house of my grandparents with some oncles and aunts, showed me their new pet. They said that it was a dog, but i saw a mouses, and then , the whole floor was full of mouses. But everyone thank that they were dogs! LOL

    11. Aliens and LDs

      by , 02-01-2011 at 06:31 PM
      Ok. The 1st dream I had, I only remember the part where I was Lucid. So here it is:
      I was at a picnic area, and i tried to control fire. I wasn't able to and I woke up after seeing a meteor shower.

      Dream2: I was in my living room, my older brother with me (in this dream he looked like Ben Kasica lol). My brother was sick. I went to the window and saw that there were 2 aliens in the front yard. I immediately knew I was dreaming, because I knew that aliens didn't exist. I made the aliens go away, and i made my brother feel better. I also made some Dr. Pepper appear, WOOT! Then I ran outside, it was light now, and I wanted to go to the moon. I believed that I could fly, so I jumped and said that I'd grow wings. I did!!! I flew up and up, through a mile of clouds. I kinda got confused and ended up at some little girl's house. If you've seen Wizards of Waverly place, the little girl that Max turned in to was there. She asked me how I got wings. I told her that I was dreaming and that I made myself grow the wings. She asked me if she was too. I told her that I wasn't sure, so I had her take my hand. I took us to a place. It was a city. I told her to look at her hands and tell me what she saw. She said that her fingers looked stubby and that it was really weird. I nodded and said, "Ok, I guess you're dreaming too!" So she asked me if I could teach her to fly in dreams. I made my wings go to her back and I grew new ones. Before I started teaching her I said, "Ok, what we're doing is Lucid Dreaming. We can do whatever we want ok?" She nodded and I said, "Look, if I see you in another dream I'll help you out ok?" Then she nodded, the dream began to fade and I said goodbye. She looked sad as I woke up.

      WOOOOOT BEST DREAM CONTROL I'VE EVER HAD!!!!!!!

    12. Sharks

      by , 02-01-2011 at 05:54 PM
      I am on a bus heading down a street. Everyone on the bus has the magical power to turn into sharks. We do this by diving into the street and become shark shaped shadows that can swim along the pavement. We are heading to face off against the evil sharks. We see a bunch of them heading towards us. We jump out the windows to go battle the enemy sharks. I didnt jump out the window because I was afraid to. After the fighting ended I jumped out and joined my comrades. We start walking down the street and we see some more enemies walking towards us. We dive into shark mode and battle. I go along with them and fight some sharks. Our side wins and we keep waking. We come to a Culdesac of sorts with parks on both sides. There is a swarm of enemies hanging around the Culdesac so we dive into shark mode and go to battle. I am about to jump up and attack one of them when I realize it is my sister. I swim around horrified as I realized they are all girls I know. I cannot kill them! I swim into their camp and I see one running towards our camp. I bite her neck and kill her. I feel absolutly horrified with myself. The dream fades out.

    13. The First Casualty

      by , 02-01-2011 at 05:34 PM
      2-1-11: I was walking and I saw a giant hill of couch cushions for some reason so I decided to climb them, and when I got closer to the top it got narrower and narrower, like a pyramid, then one tier from the top a couple of cushions started to fall and I almost fell with them, but kept my grip and I got to the top and became lucid. I remembered what I wanted to do, (Destroy a city) but I wanted to try something out on a smaller scale. I looked at a cushion and used telekinesis on it and it started to levitate, satisfied I glided off and headed for a building. I found one and walked inside. There was a corridor and a man standing at the end and he was apparently teaching a class. The corridor was about 15-20 feet wide and the man was in another room, the doors were glass. Lining the hallway were computers and people were sitting at them and typing. I walked past and opened the doors.
      “What are you doing here?” The man asked
      I chuckled evilly. “I want to destroy a city and you’ll be the first person I kill!”
      He laughed and a blast of air hit me and I flew back into the doors and they shattered. I stood up and glared at him. A staff appeared in my hand and I pointed the tip at him and shot a fireball out of it. He flew back and hit the wall and slumped to the floor and he didn’t get back up. I made my staff disappear and I tried to create fire in the palm of my hand. Nothing happened and I decided to put some energy into it. I did, but I didn’t get the desired effect, instead flames came from my fingertips, like a miniature flamethrower. I thought it was pretty cool and lost lucidity.
      The rest is a blur from there. I remember pieces and parts, like going across a rusty bridge and shopping at a hardware store.

      by , 02-01-2011 at 05:16 PM (Short Stories with Tragic Endings)
      I am in a building that is laid out pretty much the same as my high school music wing.
      According to the dream however, it was Millersville. It was an indoor practice and we had
      just gotten a break so we left the room we were practicing in which was for some reason
      the choir / orchestra room of my high school. I'm doing something with my friend Sarah,
      from college, but I don't remember. I see another one of my friends in the hallway outside
      my high school's band room, still supposedly Millersville University, and he shows me these
      playstation controllers and we play a game where we have to use something on the controller
      to pick the buttons out of the opponent's controller and the person who loses all his buttons
      first loses... It was strange but then we started playing and at closer look the L and R buttons
      turned out to be razor heads. I said "This probably isn't a very good idea." but kept playing
      anyway. I was winning by far, I guess I was good at it. Each time I beat him, I would take the
      controller he had and throw it into a pile and he would grab another. Eventually I had exhausted
      all of the controllers and won by far. I then went to the window on the door of the band room
      and see the orchestra practicing. I wonder why they are rehearsing in the band room and walk
      away from the door
      and the dream ends.

    15. 01/31/2011 - "Extinction-Level Event"

      by , 02-01-2011 at 04:46 PM (Oneironaut Zero: Dreamwalker Chronicles)

      01/31/2011
      Dream One (a)
      "Extinction-Level Event"


      (This was the most horrifying, emotional set of dreams I have had in a while...)

      The Earth had been invaded.
      High above what could have been every major city in the world, as far as I knew, massive alien spacecrafts hovered. They had come on the scene and looked down upon us, over the span of about 3 days. We never once got to see what these aliens looked like. Instead, they communicated with us telepathically, without ever having to leave their vessels. At first, they didn't say much. I really don't remember if they said anything at all, the first few days. They just kind of loomed over our heads, apparently observing us. Their intentions, at this point, were completely unclear.

      Life somewhat continued, even with the presence of our 'visitors,' looming overhead. One day, I had made a few rounds to see some old friends. I know I saw quite a few of my people, but the only ones that really stood out were my baby's mom (who I'll call "G"), and an old "friend with benefits." There was another ex who I believe I might have seen as well, but I'm not exactly sure. Anyway, at one point, G and girl #2 sort of merged and became one person, with different attributes from both (and, of course, I didn't find this strange enough to become lucid ). We went to a fast-food restaurant and either the person on the drive-thru headset couldn't hear me, or there was some other reason why the girl(s) ended up having to go inside through a back door, while I pulled the car around front. Later that night, we were back at an apartment that we were apparently sharing, except I had my own room, and she had one. Despite the knowledge that there were enormous, city-sized space-ships hovering high over our heads, it seemed like a pretty normal night. She ended up going to sleep early, and it wasn't until well into the night that I remembered she had the bag of food with her, and it was now locked away in her room. I didn't feel like waking her up to get it, though, and just shrugged it off. The next morning, she was simply back to G's normal self. All resemblance of the other girl had vanished. It was on the third day (I believe) of their occupation, that the aliens finally decided to give us some insight. Not bothering to pay us any door-to-door visits, the beings simply beamed their thoughts into our heads. We were informed, rather matter-of-factly, that our entire species was about to be exterminated, and that, since they had took up positions that would allow their weapons to sweep over the entire planet, any attempts of escape were completely unnecessary. Armageddon was upon us, and there was nothing we could do about it.

      Panic. It barely even had enough time to set in, before the bombing began. Thunderous booms shook our apartment, each one seeming as if were right outside our window. I was absolutely terrified - not so much of death, itself, but the thought of suffering until death. G was, surprisingly, not very affected by the situation. She seemed 100% sure that we were not going to suffer; that it would be quick, painless and peaceful. The chorus of explosions - stomping around the area outside - didn't instill the same sort of confidence within me. With my eyes wide with fear, and my voice the epitome of hysteria, I screamed at her the possibility of our building collapsing, and the two of us being caught in the rubble for God knows how long, our bodies broken, buried, and left to die, waiting for hope that would never come. Amazingly, she responded with a scoff. "Pfft. That only happens in movies," she said. I was floored, immediately switching from frightened to furious that she would just dismiss such a likely scenario. I said "what are you talking about?! Being get trapped in collapsed buildings all the time!! Don't you watch the news?!" My tirade was cut short by a few more deafening blasts, even closer than the previous ones. The entire building shook, and I was actually thrown off of my feet. This one apparently rattled G as well, because we both grabbed each other and huddled together on the bed - our heads ducking in unison; hearts jumping out of our chests with each successive bang from outside.

      I was a complete wreck. I don't know that I've ever been so scared. Unable to control my fear, I burst into tears, absolutely terrified of the horrible death that would soon be coming for us. But, once again, G remained rather stoic. She held me close, cradling my head to her, and actually began singing to me to console me! (It was just the most incredible situation, seeing as how I'm usually the one with my head screwed on during stressful times.) Suddenly, there was one final BOOM, right on top of us, and everything went black. (The whole thing reminded me of the final scene in Cloverfield.)

      In the 3 or 4 seconds of darkness, I received a message. I can't recall if I saw it in my field of vision, or if it was just telepathic. The message was just kind of 'there.' The message was "You and your daughter..." and that was it. I have absolutely no idea what it was supposed to mean, or where it came from. (Oddly enough, my daughter never made an appearance in the dream.)


      Dream One (b) (FA)
      I suddenly 'awoke' on the same bed, eyes full of tears. I looked around the room, which seemed completely undisturbed, and found G sitting on the floor. There were pizza boxes stacked on some of the furniture, and G looked as if we'd just been lounging around the house, shooting the shit all day. Sitting up with a start, I frantically asked her about the aliens, and why the bombing would have just suddenly stopped. She looked at me like she didn't have any clue what the fuck I was talking about. My mind raced. I was thinking that there was just no way I could have imagined all of that. With an extreme sense of urgency, I asked her to tell me what the date was. She didn't know it, so I asked her what day of the week it was, and she said Tuesday. Tuesday, I remembered, was the day that the aliens had actually showed up. I had been transported back to Tuesday...but there were no aliens this time! The only thing I could keep asking myself was 'How is this possible??'

      G looked over at the window, a bright light flooding into the room. Passively, she said "that's really pretty," and I was immediately alarmed. I looked out the window, myself, expecting to seeing the bright, swelling light of a nuclear explosion, ready to brace for yet another inevitable shock wave. However, there was no explosion. It was just the sun, rising into the sky, at the beginning of this new day. There really were no aliens, this time. I wasn't able to believe - for one minute - that what I had experienced was a dream. Instead, I figured that I was somehow given another chance at life. I had somehow been transported back to that Tuesday, but without the threat of attack. The human race was no longer in danger of being exterminated. Relief doesn't even begin to describe how I felt. I was practically shaking. The emotions flooded back into me, and I began to cry softly. My eyes remind dry, but if the tears had come, they would have been tears of joy for simply being alive.

      (When I woke up from this dream, I felt like I had a hole in my chest. I was completely emotionally drained, and I just sat and stared at the floor for a good five minutes. There is really nothing like honestly believing you are about to die, and then suddenly waking up, safe and sound in your bed. I was numb for a good portion of the day, after coming back from this insane trip.)
