Flying energy vampires, unwelcome guests and Oneironaut!
I had all of this typed up on my laptop, but it's become apparent that thing isn't going to work any time soon (I know what I need to do to fix it). It's been a couple days, so I might have forgotten some detail.

I was at school studying for a trig test, but there were questions about chemistry on it. This was a huge end-of-the-year test, and I was freaking out a bit because I hadn't studied AT ALL. There were some weird formulas like "T1T2 = -|T1 + T2|" and other things that didn't make any sense. All of the text and numbers stayed constant, and they made sense gramatically. There was a word problem that said something like, "If Sally has a leopard print umbrella and wants to add trim to it, how should she measure the material?" The answer was "fold a 3x4 boot cut pattern." There was also a question asking what a "winterized" windshield would cost versus a "summer" windshield. When I woke up I was thinking, "What the hell. I've already graduated high school. Can't I be done with it already? "

I was watching this dream in third person. A winged boy flew up to a window in a grey stone tower that was at least 25 feet off the ground. The nearest entrance was a door 20 feet up that was made of iron bars, kind of like a bird cage. The room was a large, open space with blood red rugs and other medieval decorations. The windows were open-air, nothing more than gaps between the stones. A girl was already in the tower, and they talked about moving in together. I watched as the boy walked over to the window ledge and sat down saying, "You're better off this way. Please believe me..." and jumped.
However, his suicide attempt failed miserably. He landed on a rooftop three stories below, and tried to jump again. His body tumbled downward from roof to roof. I was watching all of this from the sky above, and I felt the tight grip of falling just as he did. He must have fallen at least 15 stories, when he eventually stopped on a roof 20 feet above the ground (yeah, these numbers don't quite match up). For one final attempt, he jumped again and had a clear shot to the ground. Just as he started to fall, his blue parachute deployed. (Um, who brings a parachute when they're trying to jump to their death?)
(It was about thiiiis high up.)
He gave up and flew back up to the tower. His roommate had changed the locks on the door and renamed his green pet parrots. He begged to be let in, but she coldly said, "Aren't you supposed to be dead?" He broke the door down and went inside. I was now looking through the eyes of the boy, and the roommate was a man. We had split the room in half and agreed to stay on our own sides. We each had something that looked like a digital clock on the wall, but the numbers looked like a scale. The "clocks" measured our energy levels. The average number was 10-15. Flying took energy, while eating and having sex replenished it.
My roommate was kind of chubby and looked like a deadbeat pimp. He always had women over, usually two or three at a time. I got sick of it, and from across the room I whispered, "As I breathe in, their energy, their life force is now mine." By taking deep breaths, I had reduced the girls to nothing more than mummies. My energy level got up to 60.533. My roommate kept bringing girls over, and he never figured out what was happening until the last girl. I tried to drain her, believe me, but every time I started to take her energy he replenished it. By stuffing his face and then having sex with her, he refilled her energy. The struggle wasn't worth it, so I just gave up. They got married, and he kept up his routine. He had eaten so much and she had so much excess energy that they both became obese. I just had to laugh a bit because in the end I had still won. By gaining well over 200 pounds, they'd lost their wings and the ability to fly.

I walked down a spiral staircase and into the next dream, and I was drinking some delicious iced coffee to boost my energy. As I passed people by, I could feel myself unintentionally absorbing their energy. Some picked up on it and became wary of me. I overheard one person thinking, "He had a dark look in his eyes... as if he was watching his shadow, not the ground." To erase his suspicions of me being a vampire of any sort, I briefly walked in the sunlight. It's not that I couldn't go into the light, it's just that I liked the shadows better.
When I got to the bottom of the stairs, I was in a stone courtyard of a university. Another set of stairs led to what looked like a fallout shelter where people throw booze bottles and other garbage, but I knew that there was an underground (in both senses of the word) rave. I kept walking until I got to the elevators. Just outside the doors was a computer on a desk. On the screen, a guy was on webcam. I think I knew him. By this point, I was finally female again, but I was wearing nothing but a red and white checkered apron and a pair of shoes. I leaned over to turn off the computer that somebody had carelessly left on, and a teenage boy walked by me. I was completely embarrassed because I thought he'd assume I was going to camwhore myself. I somehow wasn't embarrassed by the fact that I wasn't really wearing any clothes. 
I walked into the elevator and was in a store where my mom and sister were shopping. My mom asked me, "If I get this shirt, would you want to borrow it?" I said no, because it was a really ugly pink and yellow, oversized tank top. She wanted to justify buying it, but she just put it back. I decided to get it for her since it was 67 cents. I also grabbed some edible pasties (no, not pastries) that looked like candy-coated chocolate gemstones. I was going to give them to a friend for Christmas in hopes that she would model them for me.

My sister was living with my mom and I, and my brother came to visit. He ended up staying for a few days, and then he started bringing all of his friends over. They were always partying in the backyard and blasting techno (not that I minded the music ). They started coming inside and eating all of our food and sleeping in our beds. When I went up to my room, there was a couple sitting in my closet making out. I barely saw them, but I kept thinking, "Please don't be having sex, please don't be having sex..." There was a big black dog sitting on my floor, and I screamed at it to get out. I was going to take a nap, but there was a guy in a sleeping bag on my bed.

(I have a river in my backyard!)
Frustrated, I grabbed my car keys and a few other things and stormed downstairs. When I saw my brother, he was going through our mail and filing cabinets. I screamed at him, "I'm so sick of you! I'm sick of your friends always being here! I'M LEAVING!" I instantly regretted saying that first part, but I stormed over to the garage anyway. I went through the house to the garage, and he tried to block me off by going outside. He ran shouting, "OH NO OH NO NO NO!" I closed the garage door and held it shut with my foot while I hid behind mom's truck. Through the window, I saw him looking for me outside and prayed he wouldn't see me. I went back into the house and tried to go out the front door.
(This is the best part...) Oneironaut was at my front door trying to get in! I put two wooden bars on the track of the sliding glass door to stop it from opening, but O forced open the door and cracked the sticks right in half. My best friend was with me at this point, and we ran into the living room and locked the second door, which we couldn't close all the way. O punched a big, meaty fist through the "shatterproof" glass and reached in to unlock the door. He reminded me of the hulk... Sorry O. You're cute, but you were one scary dude. please don't hurt me. 
My friend and I ran through the house and locked ourselves in the room between the kitchen and garage. O was in the kitchen stomping around and clawing at the door, and my brother was in the garage screaming and growling. His glowing red eyes shone through the glass window in the door and onto the wall just above where my friend and I cowered.
We were trapped, and that's when I became lucid. I tightly shut my eyes and shouted, "None of this is real, nobody is here! I'm all alone in my house, and when I open my eyes everybody will be gone!" Thankfully it worked. I walked out to my car and then remembered my friend. I made her reappear, and she got mad at me because I made her vanish. I felt myself starting to wake up, but I clung on to the dream. I was thinking that I should do something cool since I was lucid, but we just got in my car and drove off. I wasn't sure where to go, so I floored it and drove over several lawns.
(I was only semi-lucid from here on.) We ended up at a gas station, and a little boy with fox ears walked in with us. He begged us (in a childlike way) to buy a Pepsi Blue for him (holy crap, I miss that stuff!). I walked around and grabbed a pack of wine coolers. I just figured, "I'm underage, but hey. I'm dreaming. I can drink and drive and buy alcohol."
I think by this point I'd lost lucidity. I walked around the store some more and started eating a Jello cup from off the shelf. It was really gross. There were shards of plastic in it, and it was really congealed. There was a big lump of solid gelatin in the middle. I tried to spit out all the plastic, but when I got to the lump I just said screw it and spat all of it out.
