Fight at the highway exit

I was on the exit from 480 to State Road. It's a ramp that goes up to a traffic light. We got through the light, and there was this black or hispanic or something guy turning onto the ramp in the wrong direction. He looked over into our car, at my wife in the passenger seat and made leering faces at her. I was mad and wanted to yell something at him, but I knew he couldn't hear me. Then we were on State Road on foot, and we knew the guy was coming. There was a group of kids there, and my wife tried to hide next to one of them and the rest of us formed a tight circle around her so hopefully the guy wouldn't see her. The stupid kids kept squirming and moving, so he did see her. Then I got right up in his face and told him, "She's married!" He was much taller than me. Then the guy pulled out a $50 bill which was a funny color, like european money, and said, "Let's make a bet," and something about if I didn't back down, I would win the $50. I didn't really want to, but agreed because I didn't want to look weak.

It was apparently some kind of game where we grabbed each other's wrists and then did a staring contest. I didn't know how to play this game though, and he kept saying "Chase!" and I was like, "WTF are you talking about? Chase?" Then he said to look into his eyes, then I understood. Other people joined us too. All greasy-looking guys, and we would form a ring. The other guys always dropped out, because they wouldn't look into my eyes. Then it was just me and the first guy, who was now definitely black. I was trying to be better than him, so I said, politely, "I'm sorry that my hands have gotten sweaty."

That's all I remember.

Sailing and cemetery

I was in a cemetery with some girl. We had picked up a sociology book for my mom for her class at school. We were reading it, and it said something about "sails, sailors, and _______." The book then led us to the grave of this woman who had been murdered. Someone hit her with something, and she already had had a scab in the place where he hit her. I said, "That's a scab she won't have in heaven."

That's all I remember.

Construction fragment

I remember I was in my car, and there was an excavator in front of me on the road, it was digging up the road, and there was only a narrrow way to get past it on the left.

Hawaiian volcanoes in Alaska

We were in Alaska, at Mt. Kilauea. I was in this hotel room that overlooked the side of a hill and down into a valley. I looked down and there was a lava erupting. I thought this was really cool that we'd get to see this, but was also kinda worried that it would be dangerous. There was also a wolf in the valley, and he was stalking something. I saw other wildlife, but IDR what they were. Maybe a squirrel. At one point, I was talking to my mom about scrubbing the floor, but I really didn't want to.

In another part of the dream, all these black guys were carrying me captive in a wooden cage attached to poles. IDR much about it.

In another part, I was watching as Talim from Soul Calibur and some other chick were fighting, then they started making out with each other and then having sex. They were next to the refrigerator in my kitchen.

Dog rider and badgers

I was at this school, and I got in trouble for having drugs. A teacher was there, and someone pulled out a strip of pills that looked like probably actifed from my pocket and gave them to her. There was only one left in the pack. I also got in trouble for having a secret video recording device. It looked home made, like I had made it myself. Someone said something about it being able to record a "flat signal."

Then I was in the cafeteria, I think, and there were badgers in there. Then they went outside, and I went with them. There were dogs out there, and they started fighting. There was a strange looking guy riding on a dog, and I either jumped on with him, or he captured me and picked me up. Anyway, me and someone else, maybe a badger, were fighting with the guy and his dog. We were trying to punch the dog in its long neck, but it had this wide, hard leather collar that protected it.

[Burned up]

That second dream sounded like two separate dreams.  I like the way you make your own home-made gadgets in dreams as well as IRL. 

And the battle between badgers (the good guys?) and the dogs (bad guys?) has an apocalyptic quality to it.  It's a struggle for you to overcome your foe, who is well-protected at its most vulerable place.  Also I wonder whether the badgers, being black and white, represent truth but the angry dogs represent chaos?  Depends what each of these DC(reature)s mean to you I suppose.

[unseen wombat]

Yeah, I guess I really don't like dogs too much. They're always so noisy and obnoxious. I much prefer cats. I never really thought about my feelings towards badgers.

Windsurfing lessons

I was downtown in a boat or in a car. To the right, there was a sign for windsurfing lessons for $25. I really wanted to do that. We got in a line next to some boats. I saw a really big boat and got on.

In a video game/I'm Mitsurugi

I was in this video game, and my mom was there too. She did magic, and was controlled by a tiny witch who was pretty scary. Then I was Mitsurugi from Soul Calibur. Someone said I was a 1.5 blade samurai. I figured that meant I used a sword and a half a sword. I was then with my mom underground, and it was scary. I was fighting someone with my sword and a blanket. Then I saw my swords were on the baby's changing table.

5-23-09

Just a few fragments. I remembered more, but it's been so long and I haven't written them up, so I forgot. Mostly dumb dreams anyway.

Zombie drug

Someone made a drug to bring back the dead. I was in a sanitarium, and there were zombies in there. I ran upstairs to try to get away from them. Some guy was up there throwing people into a boat to escape. That's all I remember.

I'm Luke Skywalker/Fighting the queen

So, I was Luke Skywalker, and me and someone else were out in tents, then we were in a cave running around. There was this girl, and she wanted sex from me. IDK what happened with that. In the cave, there were these bodiless ghosts.

We were fighting against this evil queen. She called her horsemen after us, and we ran to a building. In there, I managed to knock one of the riders off, then we were running in circles. Then Vince was there, and we were trying to get in an elevator to escape.

Surrogate mother

My daughter was like 8 years old now, and I somehow knew that Vicki, my wife's friend, was her surrogate mother. I had a flashback about how nice it was to have sex with both her and my wife at once.

5-24-09

This was a great day. Two really nice dreams, and they both were really realistic. I'm not sure if it's the reason, but I only ate once all day, at about 1:30 for our picnic, but I ate a lot. I also got up at 6:00, had a bowl of cereal, and took 3 ginsengs with 2 cholines. I stayed up for a full hour.

Massage parlor with Paris Hilton

This was from before the WBTB. I was with some people and we went on a field trip to Google. It was actually the Marc's discount store at Brookgate plaza. Inside, they were teaching something about investing strategy.

In one part of the store, there was this room and inside it was a bath house. There were 4 round tubs there, and there was a hot babe in each one. I really wanted to get in there with one of them, especially the last one.

I got in one of the tubs, and it was Paris Hilton there with me. She was naked and I started to wash her. It was really arousing, and then I gave her a back rub. She didn't do me though, she just leaned back and closed her eyes and said, "I'm having a really hard time staying awake." I said, "I think I can help you stay awake," and tried to kiss her. She pulled away though and said, "Only Brian can do that to me."

I resolved to come back to this place again, though I felt guilty about it.

Heroes/Afterlife gas station with Holly

I first remember being in this truck, and Denko, the bad guy from Heroes, was there trying to get in. There was someone he was trying to capture in the truck and I was in the passenger seat trying to keep him out. The door was locked but I saw him take out a remote control that opened the lock. He pressed the button, and I immediately re-locked the door so he couldn't get in. Finally, he did get in, but IDR what happened.

Then I was behind my car, and was trying to hitch a trailer to it. This hillbilly guy came up in his car and said his hitch was busted. I told him to try to use it anyway. Then Denko came back up and this time he was a cop. I thought I was gonna get in trouble for illegally hitching trailers, but he actually just wanted to give me someone's phone number. We were now in a gas station parking lot.

I went into the gas station, and was now with my mom. We were in a basement, and there was a cafeteria down there. This gas station was also somehow the afterlife. Carl T., from church, was down there, and I knew he had died. Me and my mom were apparently there to see him. We had to wait though, because his wife, Delores was sitting at a table with him. We knew she was actually still alive, because she had a table cloth in front of her that had lumps of food folded in it. My mom said we had to wait because this was actually Delores's dream and we were just in it.

When she said that, I knew that it was actually my dream, and I was lucid. I now found myself in the main gas station, and thought about what I wanted to do. I had Holly in the back of my mind, but thought first about doing the task of the month. I said out loud, "Okay, I want to see things in ultraviolet!" and this blue haze formed around everything in front of me. Then it dissipated, so I said it again, and again the haze formed. I was like, "okay, I guess that's ultra violet." I wanted to go find Holly, but thought, "I really should try to go farther." I then said, "Okay, I want to see in X-rays!" I had to do it a couple times, but then most things in front of me turned into black boxes with a red "x" in the upper left corner, like an "image cannot be displayed" image from the internet. I thought, "Okay, well that didn't work. Oh well."

Now I was going to find Holly. I went out through the open door, and it was just like real life. I was completely aware, but the dream still felt really stable. I was surprised by this but didn't think about it too long. Anyway, I said, "Okay, Holly is right around that corner." I walked to the end of the building and turned the corner, but Holly wasn't there. Then I said it again, and walked around the next corner, still no Holly. I did it a third time, but this time said, "Okay, so I hear that Holly is right around that corner." Then I turned the corner, and there she was! She was wearing a women's brown leather jacket and looked really cool. She was out on the pavement, and I was on the sidewalk next to the building, and I ran towards her, but she started running away. I stopped and she stopped, then I tried again, and she ran away again. I couldn't close the distance. Then I stopped, and concentrated on moving towards her and it worked. She was facing away from me, and I put my arms around her and was so happy I almost cried. We just stood there a moment, then I woke up.

No lucids today. :( Even though I tried the same technique as yesterday for the WBTB, it didn't work. I ate more normally, with pizza for lunch and then a leftover hamburger and hot dog from the picnic for dinner. I did have one dream with epic recall though.

Noah Bennett in judo tournament/Zombie-making plant/Secret reporter kid/Shredder & pornstars at my house

This dream was all over the place but I remember most of it.

First, I was with Noah Bennett from Heroes, and we were at this martial arts tournament. Most of the people in it were asian, and Noah got up to leave, as he walked past, the guys fighting called him up to fight too. He took off his shirt and he had a uniform on underneath it. He then fought them and won. I figured this was probably staged because he had the uniform all ready to go.

Anyway, Noah was actually investigating this plant that had killed most of humanity. It follows movement, then attacks and kills people. Then it reanimates their bodies and tries to spread into other people. The zombies have plant tendrils growing across their eyes. I saw plant zombies in an airplane in a fleeting glimpse.

Then we were at a concert, and we sang the Star-Spangled Banner, with some kind of clapping rhythm. The plant zombies were listening, and were talking together about how to finish us off.

Then I heard about some kid who secretly recorded some drug-dealers selling drugs or moving them or distributing them or something. The kid had climbed up onto this huge pile of logs and had a video camera that he used to film the drug dealers on the ground below. He was talking about how he managed to do it, and he said he snuck from his house through the woods to the log pile, then ran back when he was done. "The woods" were really just a thin tree line between his house and the log pile. I watched as the kid ran back home from the log pile, across the tree line and into his house.

When he got in, I became the kid, and it was my house now. I found Shredder, from the ninja turtles show, there in my living room, sleeping next to my cat Crixus. I went into the kitchen and made myself some food. I called out, "Mr. Shredder, do you want something to eat?" hoping that if I was nice to him he wouldn't kill me. He said no, and apparently it was gonna be okay.

Then there were a lot of people in my house. These girls from some Disney band were on a computer updating a blog. Outside, I had a pool, and Kendra from The Girls Next Door was out there in a white bikini that was actually more revealing than wearing nothing at all. She was looking for someone to make a porn movie with, and there were a few guys there. She picked the richest one, and then gave the producer of the movie a high 5. She walked away, and the rich guy and some black guy went off to get ready for their movie. Shredder was out there too, but now didn't have his costume on. He was just a skinny asian guy.

That's all I remember.

Lucid again today! Again I had only lunch and no dinner, except for a bowl of cereal at like 9:00. We went to the rib cook-off at about 2:00, and I ate a lot there, then wasn't hungry at dinner time.

Running from the pervert

I was a little girl in this one. I was looking for this guy, he was a pervert and had killed my mother. I was asking around for him. He was apparently also my godfather. Then I had a flashback of him chasing me.

We were in this residential neighborhood, and I was running across peoples' backyards. There were chain link fences between each of them, and I was hopping them. I was moving faster than the guy, but he managed to stay right behind me. This lasted a long time. Some fences were taller, and I had to clear them in two jumps. The guy could only climb them slowly and ease himself over. Still, one time he almost caught me, but I got over and away from him.

At the last house, the fence was really tall, like 8 foot. This yard had a dog in it. There was poop all over the place, and I tried to avoid stepping in it. The dog was running around barking, and I was worried he'd attack me. I petted him though and said, "Nice doggy." The guy didn't come in this yard, either because of the dog, or because he couldn't scale the fence. I went out the other side and onto the main street. I was trying to make enough turns to lose the guy completely. I started to go up the next street, but saw someone who looked just like him coming my way, I turned and ran to the original street, but there was the guy! He was on his hands and knees looking under houses, or under something, and I backed away and went up the other street. The dog was still with me, and we went back into his yard. It was getting dark, and I knew the guy wouldn't be able to see us way in the back in the dark, and would never know I came back to this particular house. I went to the back of the yard and tried to find a place to lay down and sleep that wasn't covered in dog poop.

Then I woke up.

Barely lucid in The Locker Room

I had dropped my mom off somewhere, and was with a group of people, and this guy was our leader. He was wearing like a white martial arts uniform, but it was a robe. He seemed like a pretty ordinary guy otherwise. Then we were on this street, and another guy came up and started teaching us how to pick up women. He told our leader to roll up the sleeves on his robe. The leader didn't want to, but the second guy started doing it for him. I noticed that under his robe, he was wearing a white flannel shirt that had dirt all over the sleeves. I was in his body for a moment as he was trying to brush off the dirt. It wouldn't come off though.

Then the teacher guy took us into this building, and our leader turned into Nathan Petrelli from Heroes. (This is getting to be a real dream sign). He was talking to the teacher about sanded grout. I knew he somehow used it on himself for some reason, and I thought that sanded grout was higher quality than others, but not the highest, so he wasn't so far above us. I knew he did it this way on purpose, so he could relate to us or something.

They took us to The Locker Room. Which, again, was smaller than I usually see it, with only one toilet stall in the back, but I recognized it right away as a locker room in a basement, so I thought, "Hey! This is The Locker Room! I must be dreaming!" But it was so unbelievably realistic, more real than real life, that I had to do a reality check. I looked at my hands and there were 6 fingers. I counted them to make sure, and sure enough, 6! I thought, "Wait, I can't be dreaming, this is way too real. I remember everything that just happened, I dropped off my mom, then the guy came and was teaching us about picking up women. Maybe I have 6 fingers because our leader has 6 fingers." (He did, I somehow knew). I looked at my hands again, and on my palm was written in faded blue ink, "getprophet" (some 4chan thing), so I thought, "Let's change it to 'getboxxy'." I looked away and back again, and now it said getboxxy!

I lol'd at this, and ran out of the locker room. I had a pillow and was in my underwear. Lindsay O., a chubby girl from high school was walking past and she looked at me like I was crazy, there were other people in the hallway, and they all looked at me too. I was nervous now, and went back into the locker room. I thought, "Okay, maybe I'm not dreaming." I sat down and started to put on my shoes. We were supposed to be getting ready for gym. There were a bunch of us sitting on the floor, guys and girls, I remember Christina R. from grade school was there, and so was my friend, Kevin B. In the back, this guy Joel S., a guy from high school who was so buff we thought he must have taken steroids, was in the back and he was being bandaged around his ribs by Rasheed W., a black guy I knew from college.

This russian woman with a little girl walked by the door, which was glass, and looked in. She said "OOoer!" at Joel, I was sure, and walked past. She came back and said to Kevin, who was sitting by the door, "Coame heare little boay. Do this foar me and I vill buy you hamboarger at MeekDonalds." She handed him a piece of paper. Christina said, "Why is it always a hamburger, never a cheeseburger?" I then saw Kevin get up and go to an ATM, or maybe a change machine there by the door, and get like 4 quarters out of it. He stepped across everyone and when he came close to me, I said, "Who does she want you to give that to? Joel, right?" and he said yeah. I said, "I knew it! I'm not stupid!"

Then I started looking at my hands again, thinking that if this was a dream, I just wasted it doing reality checks. I thought I wanted it to say getboxxy again, but instead, there was an american flag drawn on there in blue ink.

Then my alarm went off and I woke up. I was like, "I knew it! It was a dream!"

Then I woke up.

Great to be a little girl, but perhaps not whilst being chased by a pervert .  Great you got away, though.
I liked the flashback.  I had a dream with flashbacks recently.  Shows that dreams can be constructed in any way conceivable.

I looked at my hands again, and on my palm was written in faded blue ink, "getprophet" (some 4chan thing), so I thought, "Let's change it to 'getboxxy'." I looked away and back again, and now it said getboxxy!

That was clever.

Then I started looking at my hands again, thinking that if this was a dream, I just wasted it doing reality checks. I thought I wanted it to say getboxxy again, but instead, there was an american flag drawn on there in blue ink.[/color]

Interesting.  Like you've been branded?

Then my alarm went off and I woke up. I was like, "I knew it! It was a dream!"

And you were sure by then that it was no longer a dream?

[Moonbeam]

Yay!  Ribs as lucid-inducer.

Great to be a little girl, but perhaps not whilst being chased by a pervert

Yeah, it was kinda scary, but in more of an adventure-type way. I wouldn't call it a nightmare I don't think.

Interesting.  Like you've been branded?

Maybe. lol.

And you were sure by then that it was no longer a dream?

Haha, yeah. I should have checked. I didn't have any more awakenings after that, so I think I must have really been awake. It was all so real that I probably should have expected a false awakening to feel as real as real life.

Yay!  Ribs as lucid-inducer.

Yeah, that's the tastiest way to get lucid. I think changing my eating schedule probably had something to do with it. I should try it more often, but I always eat with my mom and wife in the evening. Maybe this weekend I'll pig out at lunch and then just not have dinner. See if it works again.

Sailing and Susan Boyle/Destroying a historic train

I was either with Susan Boyle in this, or I was her. I was in this boat house, and there was a little pram with a spritsail in there (just like this actually, but with a red sail). The mast was down though. I got in and there was a paddle in there. I paddled out of the boat house and into a fairly wide canal. The paddling kept making the boat turn, so I could only really paddle once per side and switch. When I got out though, I stepped the mast and the sail was already raised. I was trying to gybe, but the boat was so unsteady that I couldn't get up and switch sides without it rocking and making me think I'd fall out. Then there were some people who joined me, and we came to a shore somewhere.

We were on land, and were trying to get somewhere. I had a feeling they didn't really want me with them, but I was trying to keep up. We came to this one point where there were all these pipes and gears and wheels. I started to crawl through them, but the people I was with went a different route and came out much easier. I was still crawling through, and had to slide on my back for part of the way, underneath pipes. I grabbed on to this gear wheel to pull myself forward, and the thing started to turn. I didn't think much of it, but then when I got through and stood up, I saw that the gear had been to adjust the angle of these tracks that this historic caboose was sitting on. I looked as the caboose started to runaway down the tracks, down a hill. I knew it was going to crash and I felt bad.

We all ran to the bottom where there was this country general store. The people were looking at the train all smashed up against a wall. I felt bad about it, but no one else seemed to mind.

There was more, but that's all I remember.

[Burned up]

You've heard of Susan Boyle over there?

And, uh-oh, a train dream 

[Moonbeam]

I think changing my eating schedule probably had something to do with it. I should try it more often, but I always eat with my mom and wife in the evening. Maybe this weekend I'll pig out at lunch and then just not have dinner. See if it works again.

I've had nights like that; over-eat and get some good dreams.

You've heard of Susan Boyle over there?

Everybody in the world has heard of Susan Boyle.  I got so irritated, it was like OMG, look how hideous it is, yet it can sing so well!  Like it would have been OK how the audience was acting all derogatory before she started singing, cuz why is an unattractive person even alive, much less trying to sing?
