non-lucid

This dream was very choppy, to say the least. I only remember bits and pieces:

- I was very close to a body of water the whole time.
- I was with a boy who kept diving into the water, and at one point almost jumped hundreds of feet into the ocean below the small pool of water we were at. At one point I was walking a bit close to the water and a wave shot by water cannons swept me away. I was terrified I would be pulled into the ocean, but I managed to break out of the wave.
- The setting wasn't the typical beautiful, tropical beach. It was more like a jungle or a swamp. Dark, with thick vegetation in the murky water. I saw three turtles swimming with each other, one in front of the other, and I touched them. They separated.
- Possibly in a beach house or some other room close to that location, I got 3 free packs of makeup from a basket. Not sure how this fit.

In this dream, Louisiana was trying to take over the United States. I was in Louisiana visiting some friends/family in a house that looked a lot like my grandmother's with my friend Sam when they started to attack. Sam and I were driving my mother's car, which was a big grey minivan. Some oil began to spill from our car and a line of fire raced up to our car. They set the car Sam and I were in on fire, and we walked back. We found a woman I guess we were friends with's home and we asked to borrow one of her cars so we could drive back home and out of the state. She said yes and we got a purple car. Now, we were outlaws or something in the house/state because we had to sneak in and out to get our stuff. Eventually I stood up and pretended to be someone else and the guard believed me and let us through. We went upstairs where we asked our siblings if they wanted to come with us, which I can't remember whether or not they did.


Fragment:
I was riding some sort of thing and in front of me was a really cute guy and we randomly started kissing then the ride stopped and I went inside of a building.

Night of June 10th, 2016: Gym Class // A Wild Ex Has Appeared!

Here are two dream fragments from last night:
In dream fragment #1, I was in some sort of gym class. It wasn't in my school's gym, but rather a huge, dark room with no windows and reddish-yellow lighting. Many other girls were in there, and we were told to do a few different tasks, one of which I remember. We were asked to run from one side to the other. My feet got incredibly heavy as I did this though, and it felt like I was moving through water or as if I had chains wrapped around my ankles: slow. I turned to ask the other girls what was going on but I got no response
In the second dream fragment, I was peering down a hole in the ground into the "bedroom" of my ex boyfriend (the one represented by the more intelligent gorilla in last night's dream). It was dirty and cluttered, and he sat in it.
//dreamcut// We are suddenly in my grandmother's basement, him on her couch.
I don't remember any more than that, but I'll update this if I do.

Night of June 9th, 2016: Terrifying Party / Mexican Vacation

Last night I was lucky enough to end up with two full dreams. One happened after I woke up around 9am and fell back asleep until around 11. Onto the dream experience...
a birthday party.
half of the house was for our party (AJ was there), and the other half was for a triplet’s birthday. The triplets looked around my age, and kept smiling at me.
southern guy who looked older than he was talked to me and winked at his parent off the deck
grave robbers apparently were prominent and some child died at age 8, stuff stolen
screams coming from the field, I rushed AJ back inside
a school bus charged through a field (a small one) followed by a police cart. An adult to my right mentioned he saw 2 people bleeding
I was in a swimming bikini top and underwear the whole time?

In the first dream, I was at a birthday party at an unknown house. Half of the house, which sported a patio/deck with a roof and a rail on the side, was designated for the party I was attending, and the other half for another party.
The other party was for three triplet boys who looked around my age. One of them kept looking at me and smiling, and I think I talked to one for a bit.
The people on my side of the house included: my little sister Emily, my sister's friend Jacob, my nephew AJ, a southern boy who looked a lot older than he was (he looked middle aged and quite large despite insisting he was younger), a strange boy who I can't quite describe, and a few others.
The southern boy approached me on the deck and flirted with me, then winked and said something to someone I assumed to be his parent off the deck.
//dreamcut// Everyone is now on the side of a backroad with a forest on one side and a bare farmer's field on the other. A schoolbus half the normal size came charging through and cut into the field. It was being chased by a police cart. I heard an adult off to the side make a comment about seeing 2 people who were bleeding, one man kept yawning/breathing onto his forearm to "show her what he really was". No idea what that means.
//dreamcut// Everyone has returned to the party, and I am now sitting on a bench/log/seat-thing outside in the back yard with AJ, who is 2 years old. The back yard is large and bare. Suddenly, a 'title' flashes across my vision. I don't remember exactly what it said, but it told me that AJ was going to die at age 8, and someone was going to rob his grave. I got really freaked out, and suddenly the sky went dark. Screams started coming from the yard. AJ didn't move, but he was clearly terrified. I yelled for him to get inside and he started running for the door. We made it inside. Dream ended here.

The second dream takes place on a Mexican beach area where, I assume, my family is staying on some sort of vacation. The house is very open and is surrounded by a jungle on both sides, and a beach to the front. On the beach there is some sort of white boardwalk/dock thing that was about 2-3 feet in width. Some parts were slightly submerged underwater, and others were above it. We all walked along it, Emily and I (my little sister) at the back. I was wearing my black Uggs (important soon.) A while down the dock, Emily jumps into the water and pulls me in with her. I somehow avoid going under and walk across the water with my Uggs, slipping a few times but never falling under. I step back onto the walk and we all continue.
Somehow I am alerted that my older sister Jenn and my mother have reached the end, and Emily and I must go. The boardwalk goes from a white wood to an older looking brown wood. We have to travel up a few steps, and through the cracks I see a crocodile in the now very clear water. Freaking out, I order my sister (who is in front of me) to speed up. We continue, me on high alert for crocodiles. I step in front of my sister. We turn left and are faced with a few more steps, where a smaller alligator sticks it's head through the side and latches onto my lower calf/upper ankle. I hear someone in the background say, "It's hopeless. If she moves at all, that crocodile is going to eat her alive. She's done for." I tell my sister to back up before she is attacked too.
In my racing mind, somehow my brain said, "turn off your computer." So, apparently, I did that and I ended up (with everyone else) back at the house with a large brown bruise where the crocodile had bit me which was perfectly shaped like a rectangle. As I walked in, I spotted a silverback gorilla standing next to the door. I point it out to everyone then move inside.
Two gorillas entered after me (these I think might represent my ex boyfriends who were (best friends) both 17-18 when I was 14. One of them was a bigger guy and seemed very in love with me despite me being uncomfortable around him. Yet I never was willing to break up with him.), following me in. They took something off the table (a cup filled with some sort of small snack) and chucked it toward the other wall. This is when the gorillas start to speak. I ask, "You speak... us?" Not the best choice of words, I know. The larger gorilla in my mind keeps switching from human to gorilla. I'm not sure my mind registered it as either. The other is smaller and seems to be more intelligent.
The larger gorilla is infatuated with me, apparently, and latches onto me in a hug. I move to my mother, repeating one word: help. She ignores me, and the gorilla continues the hug for a few more minutes. I go over to the couch, gorilla following me. I sit down, it sits down. It asks if I want it to leave, and I say no, so it smugly smiles and stays. The gorilla then states one cryptic phrase: "Man. I CANNOT wait until you're older."
I somehow already know the gorilla is (very specifically) 31 years old. It presents a list of stuff it likes about me. The other gorilla takes it.
My memory gets fuzzy around here, but they both end up leaving. Later, I look out the window and I see my laptop up in a tree, the little Apple on the front glowing. I go outside and scale the tree to find the two gorillas holding some of our devices. The intelligent one is closer to me and is holding my laptop and next to him is my older sister's laptop. The other one is holding a red and black phone which I don't recognize, and through a slight struggle I manage to retrieve all of the devices. When I got back home I tried to find a place to hide them as I knew the gorillas would try to take them again. Drawers wouldn't work... under my pillows the devices kept sliding out. I found a video recorder with two videos on it: a man and a little girl going down a zipline, and a man exploring an abandoned farm-like area.
Memory gets fuzzy again, but the gorillas yet again have my devices. This time, though, they are on the left side of the house in the jungle trees. I yet again go to retrieve them, when the gorillas say something along the lines of "but we want to remember you." (In the dream I was going home the next day.)
I appease the gorillas by offering to order them a laptop and have it sent to the house. They agreed, and I got my laptop and other devices back.
The dream ends there.
Bonus fragment from sometime that night: I was in a room with someone who had been apparently bullying AJ and I yelled at her, throwing rainbow-colored, small plastic balls at her. They kept turning flat (instantly floating down or missing her), but the girl started to cry.



My dreams seem to be very strange, but luckily I remember them all very clearly. It is truly a wonderful gift to have to be able to experience a different world every night, and I can't wait until I go lucid during one.

Night of June 8th, 2016: Missing Shoes / Fishboy

So, in this dream I ended up on my school bus without any shoes on (I had black socks). As I arrived at school I decided I would go to the gym and take my tennis shoes out of my gym locker. On the way there, I ran into a police officer who offered to open the locker and retrieve my shoes for me.
Here, the dream cuts away from me and instead goes to a 3rd person view of the officer, with me nowhere to be seen. He is seen walking into some sort of mall/store/restaurant thing and getting sidetracked, but I heard him say something along the lines of "It's too much trouble to open the locker; it'll be more cost effective to just buy her new shoes."
Not sure what happened after this but I switched into a completely different dream. I was being chased (in my front yard near the tip of our pond) by 4-5 teenage guys with unknown/fuzzily remembered intentions. Possibly to hurt me? Either way, one was British and seemed to take a liking to me. He, jumping into the water, turned into a strange black fish resembling a catfish without the whiskers, but more blob-like, and started singing. I remember saying, "Don't you dare turn this into a musical," despite my fear of the whole turn of events. My whole yard flooded, and he was following me through the water. The water was murky and dark, and he went under. I, of course, was very freaked out and hopped onto the back of my friend Mallory (no idea where she came into the dream, but who cares) and tried to hold my feet out of the water.
I desperately pleaded her to help me take my feet out of the water so the fishboy couldn't get me, and she suggested I just take my feet out of the water. Oddly, my feet were stuck and my vision suddenly impaired.
I then woke up.
