Once Upon a Midnight Dreary- Hazel's Dreams

[Hazel]

1- Schedule
It is the first day of the new school year, and I am trying to learn my schedule. I see that my first period is in room 205, but when there is no classroom where it is supposed to be. Instead, there are a bunch of desks sitting out in the hallway. I stand there for a moment, confused, when a teacher walks up and says, "Ah, Hazel. You sit over there." She points to a desk that has my name on it, and I go sit down. I was thinking that this seemed like something that would happen in a dream.

Later, I am trying to compare my schedule with Shelby's, but somebody keeps bugging her about a very inappropriate subject. Finally, Shelby makes a very snide and rude remark, and I stare at her like she's crazy. It definately doesn't sound like something she would say.

2- Washed Away
I am a young teenaged boy living with my foster parents. I have been preparing for some coming-of-age task, and finally the day has arrived. I say a heartfelt goodbye to my "parents," then get swim out in the ocean towards a large, latter like platform that will serve as a boat, along with a group of my friends..

Suddenly a large, evil looking man who I recognize as my biological father swims out after me. "Sam, you'd better get back here!" He yells.

I yell back that he'll never be a father to me, and to get lost. He climbs up on my "boat" and starts trying to throw me into the open ocean. I fight with him, and he eventually ends up drowning.

The ship lands near the place where I live IRL, and we am now myself rather than a guy named Sam. Our neighbor's chihuahuas try to attack us, but I lead my friends to my yard and we jump the fence.

1- Etheric Murder
I am with Shelby and Taylor at their relative's house, and I keep seeing a creepy little kid walking through a certain hallway. Upon asking, I am told that there are no little kids there. Eventually someone else sees it too, so I know I am not just imagining things. I somehow find out that it is a type of ghost, and I end up absorbing it's energy into my MP3 player.

Later, I am running with my brother late at night along the side of the road when it starts to rain. We take shelter underneath a bridge. It feels really cool being under there with cars speeding past and rain clouding the air. Suddenly some cops show up and jump out of their cars, about to arrest us. Stevie takes off, but I have the feeling that they think we're squatters, and I want to explain that we're just taking shelter from the rain.

Instead, one of them grabs me and says, "You are under arrest for the murder of ((name I cannot remember))." I am about to protest that I haven't murdered anyone, when I suddenly realize I'm dreaming. Finally, I think, a dream that's not boring. This should be fun.

The cop drags me to the station house, and as soon as we get there I break free and make a run for it. I am doing flying jump kicks into the cops' heads and punching them fiercely, and although they cannot get a grip on me I am doing no damage to them whatsoever. ((Can't remember what happened after that, but there was more.))

2- Little Kiza
I am talking to a little kid who happens to be Kiza from the past. He is already on DV with another account, and I am giving him advice on how to seem like he meets the age requirements. He is a short, red-headed 7-8 year old who is missing his two front teeth. ((Awww!))

3- Trek to Ohio
I am trying to take a shower, but it is not working out very well. It is way too small, and I can barely move.

Later, we have to go to Ohio for some reason, but we can't take any vehicles. My mom is leading my brother and I along the road, asking me to guess which direction we should go in. I point out one road, and she says it's getting too dark to go that way, because it leads to a bad neighborhood. Instead, she takes us to the railroad tracks and tells us we just have to follow them.

As we walk along the tracks, I say, "What if a train comes?"

"It's too late for trains to travel," she says.

Just as she says this, a train is suddenly headed right towards us, and another is coming from a place where the tracks split. "Well that's ironic." I say, doing my best to side step the danger. This seems like something that would happen in a dream," I remark offhandedly.

We make it past the trains and ((I remember nothing afterwards.))

Good DS, being accused of murder!  And you caught it. 

I've had two rat dreams lately!  (Big giant rats, as big as cats.)

Wow, I would love to see those! Oh, and you just reminded me of another dream I had last night about a GIANT spider web.

1- School Daze
It is the first day of school, and I have none of my supplies. I start throwing old notebooks into my backpack, hoping this will suffice until I get to the store.

At school, I am continually worried because apparently I'm on both the swim team AND the cross country team, and the schedules are conflicting. I'm not sure which to choose...

I go to the store and get another swimsuit, because the one I have gives too much resistance in the water.

Later, I am taking care of some really creepy dolls, because they seem like they'd come to life and kill me if I didn't give them some attention.

2- Wild Web
I am trying to get my grandparents to take us to school, but we get extremely lost and don't even know how to get back home.

When we finally get where we need to be, I start to walk inside with my friends. We come to the awning and stop, because there is a GIANT spiderweb blocking the way. There are other people on the other side of it, including my cross country coach. "I wouldn't like to see the spider that made that," he remarked.

"I would!" I said, staring at the web in awe. It was so intricate...

[Hazel]

1- Stolen Heart
I live in a community where doing magic is the norm. A lot of weird things are happening, though. For one, there are these giant black beetles everywhere, attacking random animals. One of them is attacking a baby crocodile, while another has attached itself to a turtle's foot. The turtle "runs" around frantically, trying to get it off.

Also, someone seems to be out to get me. My heart was stolen and locked away somewhere. After a bit of digging, I find a large, hollowed out book. My heart is there, beating as it normally would. But I read some of the writing on the pages that remain, and learn to my horror that if my heart were removed from this book, I would die.

I rebury it, but the patch of dirt doesn't blend in with the rest of the ground, and I don't want my brother digging it back up out of curiosity. Someone I am with (that looks a lot like Simon Baker) points his wand at the ground and yells, "Summersand!" Nothing happens. He sheepishly explains that it was a very complex spell, and that he isn't powerful enough to cast it.

"Maybe I could try?" I ask. He shrugs, so I point my wand at the spot where my heart is burried and say, "Summersand!" Some "sand" starts to form all over the ground, though it looks more like styrofoam. Some styrofoam palm trees also form. I have to continually guide the stuff to spread out with my mind, though, or else it willl start to wither. Finally I can't hold it anymore and it withers away. But the spot where I'd been digging did look like it blended in slightly better.

"Very impressive," the guy said, nodding and giving me a pat on the shoulder.

A bit later Shelby informs me that school is starting up, and that we need to head over there before we're late. What? But I don't even have my schedule yet. I haven't gotten any supplies... Duh, I'm dreaming. ((Isn't it odd how all that abnormal stuff was happening, yet I become lucid from something much more mundane?))

I inform Shelby that there's no point in going to school, because it is all a dream. She looks doubtful but doesn't argue. I walk up through my back yard with her, and someone who resembles the lady from The Devil Wears Prada says a lot of hurtful things to Shelby, then stalks off to the front yard. I decide to have a little fun, so I sneak to the edge of the house and try to use a levatating spell to send a golf ball flying into her head. It doesn't work, and after a bit of trying I decide it's not going to.

Later I am telling my brother that it is a dream, and I think it would be cool if this were really him and not another DC so that we could say we had a shared dream.

I am about to take flight, but something happens and I wake up.

2- Competitive
Someone challenges me and another person to see who can collect the most muskadines. The person I am competing against won't even let me pick any, so I travel to all different locations (I can see myself on a map!) to get them. End the end, though, I only get ten, so I lose miserably.

[Hazel]

Haha, awesome dreams last night. As a result of my life being in constant danger (in my dreams, of course), I am now feeling really giddy.

1- Let Your Light Shine
I am standing on the side of the highway talking to my parents during a storm, when I notice a gargantuan black tornado on the horizon, growing closer with each heartbeat. My parents continue to talk as I try to get their attention. Finally my dad cuts himself off and says, "What is that noise? It sounds like a freight train!"

"Hm," I say, pondering sarcastically, "Maybe it's that GIANT TORNADO HEADED RIGHT TOWARDS US!!!" It is now only about half a mile away, and growing closer still. I am about to run when I do a nose-pinch RC just for the heck of it, not really thinking that it's a dream. But I can breathe... What the heck? I do it several more times and conclude I'm dreaming. I take flight, but my parents warn me against it and I instantly see why. The wind from the tornado throws me around, making a controlled flight impossible. I make it back to the ground and decide to walk until the storm ends.

As I am headed down the road, it gets darker. Whenever a car goes by I can see because of its headlights, but then it gets dark again. Finally I think, "I really need some light or I'm going to lose lucidity." I instantly hve a brilliant idea. I hold out one finger and say, "Lumos," (which is the light spell from Harry Potter) and a bright blue light appears on my fingertip. I laugh in triumph. "Well, that's convienient!"

I continue down the road, using my finger to light the way. Eventually my vision gets weird and the dream fades.

2- Humans, the Energy Source of the Future
I have just come home from somewhere important, and I go off into the woods behind my house. Suddenly I feel a vile prescence and a dementor appears. ((I've been reading too much Harry Potter lately. I want to read the whole series before I see the rest of the movies.)) I instantly hold out my hand and shout, "Expecto Patronum!" It works, but just barely. I only seem to stun the dementor enough to be able to run away.

I go back to my house and my mom tells me to drive to the store to get something. This makes me nervous, because I am a horrible driver, but I comply and go to the car. Somehow, the gas and the brakes are in the margin between the drivers seat and the passenger's seat, so I have to twist my leg at an odd angle to reach them. I make it to the store and back without much of a problem, but I did have several close calls. Especially due to the fact that something evis is after me.

When I get back, I learn that the dementors have eaten the souls of my parents, leaving them as lifeless shells. I am trapped in my room with a dementor, a half-crazed werewolf, and someone who is actually somewhat sane (compared to the others, at least). I am armed with a pencil which I use as a makeshift wand. Whenever the dementor comes near me, I use the Expecto Patronum spell to keep it away. I use this on the werewolf as well, though it is not nearly as effective.

The lady is getting angry that I am puttin up such a resistance. She slowly and maliciously pulls out a sharp knife, coming towards me. I rack my brain for a good spell, then shout out, "Expelliarmus!" The knife goes flying out of her hand across the room. She angrily comes at me again, now with the intent of strangling me. I say the first thing that comes to my mind. "Riddikulus!"

She stops and gives me a sarcastic smile. "What good will that do? Laugh me to death?" I am then taken to a large machine, where they show me what is going on. Apparently, the human souls and all their experiences/memories are inserted into the machine, which will run the world for the alien robots which have apparently invaded. The memories, etc. are divided up into different parts of the machine. For instance, memories of driving a car would be used to transport the aliens from place to place.

They take me back to my house and continue to try to take my soul, but I put up a good fight. They never manage to get my soul, but I never manage to escape, either.

The next time you're flying and it's stormy, just go with the flow. I have some of my best flying experiences when it's really windy. If I could conjure a tornado, I'm sure it would be a blast.

I might have to try that. A large majority of my lucids come from seeing tornadoes, so it shouldn't be that long of a wait before I get to try. Or I could just conjure one.

1- Reality Check Failure
I suspect I am dreaming, but none of the reality checks I do are working. I'm lucid anyway, but it irks me that these aren't working. Finally I try to poke my finger through my palm. It doens't work, but the fingernail mark imprinted in my palm is entirely unrealistic. This is one of those dreams where none of my powers seem to work, so I just decide to go with the flow.

[Hazel]

1- Shared Stupidity
I am lucid and with a group of my friends. For some reason I am convinced that we are all in the same dream and that they are not DCs. They say they are lucid as well, and that we should go do something fun while the dream lasts. Looking outside, we see that it is really dark, and Taylor asks what we should do. I use telekinesis to make the sun rise, but it suddenly goes dull and the sky goes dark again. I now make a huge, beautiful full moon rise, which gives off just enough light for us to see clearly. I really wish I had a camera to take a picture of this...

I take them all outside with me, trying to give them some basic dream control instructions and telling them we should probably stick together. We become separated, though and lose lucidity. Some really weird stuff happened afterwards, but it's too confusing to type.

[Delphinus]

If only your friends told you about their weird lucid dreams... In which you use telekinesis to make the sun rise.

I told them, but they didn't seem to remember anything of the sort.

I've been so incredibly slack lately. My friends got me addicted to Facebook, so now I'm trying to not go on there as much.

1- Death Approaching
It is dark outside, and I hear a demonic voice say, "Die, die, die!" over near my next door neighbor's house. I run inside to get weapons. It's just a dream, I can't really get hurt. I brandish two knives and go out to fight. Nothing comes except a talking cat.

2- Forgotten One
My mom leaves and tells me not to go outside for some reason, but I go anyway. My dog Fred and our "other dog" rusty have busted a hole through the underpinning of the house. Fred has escaped but Rusty tells me he doesn't want to disappoint "Master." (My dad.) I suddenly realize that I haven't seen Rusty in years and wonder how he's still alive.

3- Gothic Sedation
We go past a place where some goths are setting up a bunch of rock equipment. I think it's pretty cool, but my parents are extremely disgusted by it.

Later, I'm at my grandparent's house. I may be engaged to someone... I am laying in bed holding a medigtation ball. My right arm falls asleep, and my dad bangs on the door asking if I have cross country practice. ((When I wake up, my right arm really is asleep. Not sure if my dad banged on the wall or not.))

4- WILD One
((I concentrate on my breathing and enter SP.))I am stuck looking at a beautiful pattern. I concentrate on making myself have a body, which I finaly accomplish. I rub my hands together because I'm in 3rd person point of view, but I ((wake up.))

5- Phone a Friend
I am exploring a dense forest, and I have a strong sense of de je vu. I think I've been here in a previous dream, but I'm not sure. I randomly come across a phone. Maybe I can speak with my alien friend like I did in that other dream! I pick up the phone and say, "Hatu, can you hear me?" there is  no answer, and eventually a recording comes up telling me to hang up and try again.

1- Tornado
I am with Meg when a tornado approaches. She freaks out and says we should hide in the dog house, but I become lucid and prove that we aren't in any danger by letting the tornadow pass over me. Many more start to spawn, and we find ou that we can make them change direction by blowing on them.

[Lucidbulbs]

Hahaha that's cool! If only you could really control tornadoes by blowing on them, then we'd never have anything to worry about.

O.o Alien friend, is he nice?

[Delphinus]

 
Blow on the tornadoes to change their direction.
I love that.

That is a great draem.  I love those when the DC's seem real; those are best of all.  And you made the moon rise.

I am failing in my attempts to get there!  But this is some inspiration for me. And LB's beautiful pic she gave me.
