Hi, my name is Calli and I am a 16 year old student from New Zealand. This is my first entry to my dream journal

Last night I had three dreams, but I could only remember parts of two of them, hopefully my recall ability will improve with time.

Dream 1:

I was in some kind of mountain environment. It was an area with a road of yellowish dirt, winding up a hill and tall vivid green grass on the sides of the road. It felt like it was at high altitude. There was thick fog in a wall around me, I could see about 300m in either direction very clearly, but after that, nothing.

Our old family car was right in front of me. This car is a maroon Mitsubishi Magna station wagon, which we had for many years, but scrapped a few years ago. This was just before I learned to drive, so I never got to drive the ‘old faithful’, even though I heard from my parents how powerful and great to drive it was. We scrapped it because it used too much fuel.

I got in the car and started driving up the mountain, I was pleased to get to drive the old family car but I didn’t question where I was or what the car was doing there.

The car was powerful and drove well, I was driving fairly fast up the hill road, but I didn’t appreciate the handling because my head was pressed up against the roof which was quite uncomfortable. I also couldn’t rev it too high because I was paranoid about using too much petrol. The pain from my head pressing the roof became too much so I pulled over to the side of the road.

I turned around to look at the back seats and boot and saw an aftermarket amplifier and some big speakers, covered in cobwebs. I got a surprise at this, I never knew these were there, but when I turned on the stereo the bass heavy sound seemed familiar. I then pulled back onto the road and kept driving.


Dream 2:

I was at a local high school (not my own). I was walking along a path along the side of a block of buildings. I see a female friend standing talking with a group of friends. I walk past them but smile and make eye contact with her. She runs back and yells at me to wait for her. Then she starts talking to me. I cant remember what she said, but it was fairly quick because she had to go.

I keep walking, to find a toilet. I go up some stairs to a deck on the side of one of the buildings. I see a door with ‘international student office’ on the label, but no toilet. I walk back down the stairs, and see another friend Matt (a student of my school). He was dropping off an asian student. I meet him and we start walking back along the row of classrooms in the direction I came.

He is wearing my schools uniform, but for some reason I thought it was the new uniform of the school we were at, and I was amazed at the similarity. The logo on the shirt was exactly the same, but I couldn’t read the schools name as it kept changing and the letters were blurry. We are still walking all this time and then we head up onto a playing field.

The unreadable writing should have alerted me that I was in a dream, but I didn't realise. Hopefully in the future I will realise I am dreaming and become lucid.
