redisreddish's mess of dreams is still messy

I haven't been on in a month! I feel terrible! But good news... I had one lucid and one somewhat-lucid! And I completed a personal goal! Okay. I didn't write down all the dreams I had, () but I did get a few. I'm just going to copy and paste from the DJ I keep in Microsoft Word, so here's a few quick things:

Sam: a friend.
Animorphs: book characters.
VBYC: a camp I go to.
Kid's Club: a church thing I go to.
Short Stop: a little store in my town.
Hanna & Sophie: my little sisters.
Village Market: another store.
Lincoln Lake: where band camp was this year.
Justin: another friend.

~~~I Should’ve Written This Stuff Down~~~ date: 8/13/10

I’ve had so many dreams, and haven’t recorded them! Grrrrrr! *deep breath* Okay. Some dreams I can remember:

~At Sam’s house, I had this dream: The Animorphs were there. Apparently I was part of the team. We were running all around this place that was kind of like VBYC. Now that I think about it, it looks strangely like a camp-type place I’ve dreamed about before. Then… something that involved morphing, or not morphing because of something / someone. We were in some bathroom area, not unlike the bathhouse at VBYC. We found these glowing green tracking device thingies. Then we all morphed… or at least, everyone else morphed and I tried to. I was aiming to go tiger, but all that happened was I felt muscles get stronger and my shoulders do something, then I couldn’t get any further into the morph. Typical me. I wasn’t even the slightest bit lucid; I don’t know why it didn’t work. I’m pretty sure there was more.

~Also had this one at Sam’s house: I was at Kid’s Club, only it wasn’t at the church. It was some weird amalgam of a little building and our barn and a big field. (Why is it that locations can never just be themselves in my dreams? They always have to mix and merge with other places. Confusing.) There was a big statue thing with a bunch of rules on it. I walked over to the barn, where there were a few crates of things like shields and swords. Everything looked kind of battered and worn. Most of the swords were bent up. Sam was there, along with some guy. They both managed to find not-bent swords and shields and started sword fighting. Not for real, just playfully. Anyways. I couldn’t find a good sword or shield. I stood around for a while and waited for Sam and the guy to be done, but the dream either ended there or something happened that I don’t remember and that’s how I ended up…

~In a bedroom. It was relatively dark. There were… eight other people, I think. We were playing some insanely weird game. Here’s how it went: 1.) Two people sit on the bed. 2.) Everyone else gathers around the bed, kneeling or sitting. 3.) Little symbols start appearing randomly over the people around the bed. 4.) The people on the bed have to ‘poke’ the symbols to get rid of them before they take effect. 5.) If symbols take effect on a person three times, that person it out. Okay, here’s an explanation for that stuff. The symbols all made something happen to the person they were above if they weren’t ‘poked.’ For example, a symbol of a coughing person would make the person its above start to cough if not ‘poked.’ Then you had your more… odd symbols. One was a fan. If it wasn’t ‘poked,’ it would turn the person’s head into a fan. We played that game for a while. Nothing happened to me.

~Okay, from before those dreams. This was pure epic-ness. I was in some super cool world. There was another person with me, but I can’t remember who it was. I’m positive it was no one I know IRL, though. We went into some building that the Mad Hatter made hats in. Then… I WAS FLYING! FINALLY! I had some help, though. There were these things like launch pads scattered around that you could stand on, and they would launch you into the air. I went on one, and once I was up, I STAYED THERE! HOLY COW! It was so fun. Me and the other person landed at my grandma’s house. At this point, I wasn’t quite lucid, but I was aware that something was up. I think it was enough to call it a lucid, though, because I was trying to use powers and explore a bit. And—as usual—as soon as I became the tiniest bit lucid, everything got more difficult. I tried to fly up onto the roof, but I could only manage to float a little. I floated high enough to grab the edge of the roof and pull myself up. I stood up and looked around, and there was a girl standing there. She had sparkling pink and blue wings.
“Are you a fairy?” I asked her. She said yes. I asked if I could be a fairy, and she told me that I could, but that I would have to get my wings myself. I think that was it.

~Last one. I was walking down the road that goes straight to/from Short Stop. My mom and Hanna and Sophie were with me. There were big flowerpots all down the sidewalk, but the flowers looked sort of droopy. I had a sowing needle with me for some reason, and when I poked the flowers, they would instantly perk up. I did that for a while until I accidentally dropped the needle down a grate.
“I have to go to the bathroom,” Hanna said.
“Of course you do,” my mom said. She took Hanna and Sophie down to Village Market so Hanna could go to the bathroom. I kept walking down the road. A biggish dog with curly black fur came up to me, and I took an apple out of one of the flowerpots (that entire ‘flower’ pot was filled with fruit, actually) and gave it to the dog. He happily ate it. Then a whole bunch of stray animals started coming up, wanting stuff to eat. Across the road, one of the buildings had a huge, gaping hole in the side. I could see biscuits and more fruit inside. I went in, grabbed some food, ran back out, and fed the animals. When I went to get more food, tons more people were flooding into the building to get some, too. As I was leaving that time, something caught me leg and I had to tug kind of hard to get free. I looked back, and this mist-looking stuff was wrapping around people and dragging them into the building.
“Run!” some guy who hadn’t been caught yet yelled. I got to the other side of the street. The people who had been grabbed by the mist stuff were coming out. Their eyes were all glazed over in a weird, white-swirled-with-blue color. The tried to take other people back into the building. A tendril of mist wrapped around my torso and started pulling me in. I couldn’t break away.
Then I woke up. Whew! That’s all. All that I can remember, at least.


~~~When Band Camp Goes Bad… Really Bad~~~ date: 8/15/10

~ I was at band camp, but it wasn’t at the Lincoln Lake place. I don’t know where it was. It was terrible, though. Any time we were supposed to be taking a break or having a meal, all the instructors would start fighting with each other, get really mad, and make us practice marching whether we had finished our meal/break or not. We always rode to wherever we were going on a little train thing, like the ones that are at zoos a lot. Then I’m standing with a few people in front of a guy sitting in a chair. He’s being held in the chair by the wrist and feet and head strap things, like on an electric chair. The people are using the guy to demonstrate what they’re about to do to me. One of them pulls out a hypodermic needle. I’m instantly running out of the room.
“Hey! Stop her!” they shout. Security people start chasing me. I’m in a mostly unfamiliar building, but some of the rooms look kind of like room from my house. I keep finding ways to elude the people chasing me, like turning corners unexpectedly and hiding until they pass me and then backtracking. But then I almost run into a horse. (?) I turn around and go to run through a doorway. Two guys reach out right as I go through and grab my arms, then one of them goes off to tell whoever that I’m caught, leaving me with the second guy. We’re in my kitchen. I bite the guy’s arm that’s holding me and bolt out the door, which leads outside. The guy follows but doesn’t try to stop me. I think he was under the impression that I was retarded or something and didn’t think I would try to escape.
“I left my stuffed animal out here,” I tell him. “In the car.”
He nods and follows me to the van parked in the driveway. I jump in and start it up. Then I stomp on the gas and fly right into a tree. Everything fades black for a second, then I’m back in the driveway. Now it’s snowing. Also, someone else is in the car.
“Hurry up! Come on, they’re gonna notice we’re gone!” he yells. A little confused, I hit the gas again. The van jolts forward into a big snow bank, and the ground starts splitting like a huge earthquake is happening.
“Great, now they’re really going to know we’re trying to escape!” the person in the car with me says. “Can you please HURRY!?”
I keep trying to drive and eventually get out of the snow bank. I get onto the road and drive as fast as I can without crashing. Other cars start coming after us. Somehow I get the pursuing cars off our tail. We get to my house and I stop the car and get out. Six or so other people also get out, though, instead of just the one other person that was there a few minutes ago.
“Come on, everyone come inside. I’ll… make some hot chocolate or something,” I say. We all go in and my mom says something about how she heard what a hard time we had.

~Frag. I’m in my room, and I have a spray bottle of stuff that can shrink people, but not objects. Needless to say, I had a lot of fun spraying myself with it.

~~~Apple Frag~~~ date: 8/22/10

I'm in my room with some other people. We split into teams, and I'm by myself. We all start throwing apples at each other.

~~~Fish~~~ same date

This entire dream consisted of carrying fish around and putting them in different tanks. They were orange and white fish.

~~~Lucid~~~ same date

I'm in a gas station with Justin. We're walking around, and suddenly he sees a bunch of Pokemon stuff. He goes ballistic. While he's taking most of that, I go to get something to drink. I look for vitamin water, but there's not any, so I get "cookie in a bottle." The instructions on it said, "Hold bottle upside-down and count to 100. Then shake violently." I just put it back and go outside. It looks like my grandma's garage. Then something happens I can't remember...
I end up in a car with some other people. I'm worried about getting in trouble, but then I realize I'm dreaming! I happily scream this fact to the others in the car. They all clap and cheer. I jump backwards through the side of the car and close my eyes. When I open them, I'm in some grassy place and I can hear a waterfall or a river somewhere. But that fades away and then I'm just outside somwhere. I try to morph into a tiger. ...Not happening.
"I should be doing something..." I say. I decide to go to Eluvi Island. I call for Blaze, but instead Boltron comes. He tries to say something, but some stupid jellyfish keeps floating in front of him. (???)

Well... that's it.
