Frag 1

At a rather large hotel (I notice I have a lot of hotel dreams lately), my brother was doing something illegal that would get him in trouble. We had a race to our room, in good fun. But after, I time traveled backward to join the FBI (or some other organization similar to it) to try and capture my brother. We got him in the room after he ran to it, but he had a gun and had to be talked down.

Frag 2

A bit of an odd one and I really hope it has no merit to existence or anything, bu a dream about a man that had eluded the police and hadn't killed in 90 years (likely some kind of time travel thing involved since he was still semi-young). He was back and usually only killed "once a year on a Tuesday", but now he was killing someone every Tuesday. Somehow he was connected to a mystical game, so they decided I should play the game to try and find where he was. On the first roll, there was a map that showed he was in Denmark, a placed called Hibai (not geographically correct in the slightest, Denmark was apparently above Canada and looked a lot like the Phillipenes, but smaller). We managed to call him and talk to him, and he said someone had pissed him off so they would be dead by the end of the day (since it was Tuesday). Talked about alerting people in Denmark but knew it didn't matter because he killed and then left right away.

Dream 1

Into Sleep Position: Laying on stomach, facing right, arms tucked under head
Out of Sleep Position: Laying on left side

It was a Hangover-esque dream. A group of four (myself included) were walking on a road with a movie in our hand, wondering why we had the movie to start with but knowing we were trying to return it from wherever we had gotten it from. As we walked, we were joined by a man dressed as Santa Claus, but he seemed a little odd/different. He was in a car and zipped off ahead of us to "show off", as he put it, when the car crashed and threw him out of the vehicle and into a small cluster of cartoony trees. We ran over to check on him and while searching around a tree we thought he landed near, his hand shot out from a thick spot of bushes and grabbed the tree, only to wither away and turned into a jagged branch. We looked around the tree and found his coat, and a big water bottle inside it with some kind of pinkish liquid partially filling it up. We all started talking at once about what to do with it. Passed around the idea of drinking it, taking it with us, dumping it out, taking it back to where we had come from, etc. While debating, a child/cartoon version of Tarzan showed up out of nowhere and started to look at us funny.

We were in a car, driving toward a nearby town, which ended up with us stopping at a gas station. We were outside of it (without any transition) and inside of the gas station. It appeared to be almost like a biker gas station, since many of the people inside were causing a ruckus and dressed in leather, bandanas, and shades. They all looked at us without much approval as one of our group tried to ask the cashier woman if she could help us. She rolled her eyes and wandered away from behind the counter and leaned against a wall next to me. I asked her politely if she could help us, and she rolled her eyes and walked back to behind the counter. Somehow the third guy in our group got her attention and finally managed to get her to help us out with the movie. She said she could see if it was from another gas station, but that was it. She punched some stuff in and we found out that it was from a gas station, but not hers. So we left, asking "how many stations did we pass to get...wherever we are?"

We were walking through a small tow yard that was near the station (why we didn't take our car from before, I don't know). We passed a white Pontiac Grand Prix, and one in our group said it was the first car he ever had as a kid and loved it and wished he could ride in one again. We were heading past it when I had a "remembering flash" regarding the car and stopped the other guys and told them the car was somehow important. They were skeptical, but decided to give it a try. We got in the car and I started to rummage around. We found some random items in the center console, but nothing substantial, so we wanted to check the trunk. We looped around, opened it, and all stepped away as soon as we saw what was inside: Mr. Cho, sleeping. One guy stayed and kept muttering "please don't jump up and grab my face" over and over. Eventually Mr. Cho woke up kind of groggily and greeted us warmly, which got a relieved "thank God" from everyone that he wasn't mad about being in the trunk. Mr. Cho got out and stretched his back painfully as he joined our group. We were about to head off when the guy that mentioned it was his favorite old car said he was going to drive it.

There was a "shift" of events and we were now running through the tow yard toward a wooden fence. I decided to be a battering ram and slammed into it, which knocked the whole thing down (it was really flimsy). There was another fence across a kind of play yard with kids gym equipment, and we heard the car roar to life as we ran for the second fence. I rammed into it again, knocking it over and tumbling myself. As I got up, the guy in the car yelled out to watch him as he drove for a third fence at full speed and we cheered him on. He broke through, but found out quickly that there was a lake just on the other side of it less than a football field away. He did not stop in time and the car rocketed off a small ramp of dirt at the edge of the lake and crashed into the water. The driver had jumped out just before it, standing up and cursing as he looked at the car sinking.

Back on the shoreline, we all stood and stared at the car and laughed a little before turning around to decide where to head next. There was a large, rectangular "pond" in the dirt that the guy driving had barely missed. We looked at it and saw two big, strange looking eyes pop out and stare at us. We all got closer and tried to figure out what it was, and it eventually came up out of the water enough to see it was a bullfrog (odd looking). We all said it looked like the "Budweiser frogs" from the old commercials and tried to get it to say something (someone kept repeating "Bud-" over and over). Eventually, the frog said "-Weis-" and we finished with the "-Er" and broke out laughing. There was a small time jump where the guy driving the car and I stood on the edge of the rectangle pond and were figuring we'd have to get passed the pond. The other's in our group had grabbed some bamboo reeds and were trying to walk through the pond underwater, cartoon style, with the shoots for breathing apparatus. We both shared the thought to each other of "why not just go around?", but didn't think too much about it. Suddenly, one of the breathing things disappeared under the water and we both tried to see what had caused it. All we could see was a strange looking blue fish right next to where the guy had disappeared at.

I say it was "Hangover-esque" because the people in the dream kept suddenly changing from friends of mine to the actual guys from The Hangover. It was too confusing to try and put all the times it switched, so it made sense to just leave it out.

Inside luxury cruise liner, mostly just exploring it and meet a few interesting people. Eventually there's the cavern part of the ship that's absolutely beautiful and has the hot tub area and the rest of it like a big pool. Decide that going to be hanging out there a lot. Next day, go to pool area after talking to people and finding out something strange was going on and end up finding a demon-y person there that's trying to destroy the ship. They have minions all over the ship, but the demon-y thing decides to conjure up a gigantic tidal wave and tip the entire ship over. Everyone's afraid and thinks we're going to die, but I do the Jack Sparrow thing and get everyone on board the enormous ship to rock it back and forth untilit eventually flips over (the wrong way, though; the long way instead of rolling over a side, which is totally plausible...). Had to do the flipping in the pool area where a lot of people had gathered and there were hordes of old people, most in wheelchairs. After that, it was a mission to stop the rest of the demon's people that were trying to take over the ship (after a trip up to where the captain was sailing the ship in an almost lighthouse-esque tower). Go to a hold/storage area of the ship and get into fights with guys dressed in cameo that is almost yellow colored. At first I have to use a very high powered water gun that shoots a small, but very effective stream of water (unlimited supply). I get to where a "boss" type enemy is and he sends a bunch of guys at me. Somehow, there are women that get caught in the cross fire, but they don't die from the water, they just get wet and fall over before running away. Eventually the boss guy comes out of his room and I beat him and take his weapon: a gatling gun. One of the women stays around and "joins me", as in she stands back and lets me do the killing while she tries to encourage me (and possibly supply me with ammo). I go back out the main door I came in to get to the boss guy and there's a wall of the enemies with hostages. Sort of a "bullet time" moment and I use the gatling gun and get some rather accurate headshots on all the guys to take them all down and save the hostages. After that, I go back into the other room that I fought the boss guy in and go through it to a grocery store. The dream ends shortly after with me holding three pictures overlapping three other pictures so that when I move one picture, it gives an illusion of movement. The pictures are: girl on right with blonde hair, girl on left (black) with brunette hair, both girls in middle on a piece of grilled chicken...

This is sort of a collaborative fragment because I had way too many dreams to figure out which came from which, and not even sure if some of them are connected to the same dream as some others.

Frag 1(kinda)

I was doing handstand push ups in my room. My brother came in and was impressed and wanted to know what I was doing so he could do it too, because clearly it worked. I did a few more and stopped after my mom said we had to go somewhere.

I was in a small contingency of military men on a mission at some kind of airport area. I was doing some sneaking around and found a couple badguys, and one bad girl. The guys were easy, but the chick and I got in a brawl and she very nearly kicked my butt, but I just eeked out a win. It was like with Metal Gear Solid, where beating them just knocked them out temporarily. I was trying to safely store them in a locker when each of them woke up twice and had to knock them out AGAIN. Finally got the guys put away but the chick got away (turned out she wasn't a bad guy either by the end).

I was half watching, half a part of, a TV show called "Top 100 Celebrity Faces", about funny/interesting faces celebrities make, as voted on by kids. One was a lady that looked somewhat like Betty White (not any actual celebrity I recognized, though) and she was doing an interview and made a random odd face in the middle of it. She was number 48. Number 47 was from a movie called "9 Ounzes" according to a small thingger in the corner. An Asian woman was at the top of red velvet carpeted stairs in a black dress with some sparkles. Richard Gere was walking up the stairs, talking to her. He asked for her (and myself, somehow now in this movie) to wait nearby. He walked down the stairs and kept spinning around saying stuff, but it was harder and harder to hear every time. No clue what the "face" was for this one.

This is going to be a bit of a long one, and slightly disjointed. Busy things have been keeping busy with, so most of the stories are very choppy and possibly confusing to read because of the haste they were put down in. So, without further to ado, here's some new tales:

Dream 1
Into and Out of Sleep Position: Unkonwn

In train, friend and other friend and self looking at "personal videos" on laptop. After, friend with videos tells me about how stripper club owner person picks like 20 people and takes them on special trip, and has videos. It's train surfing/stripper moves. See her slip and almost fall but somehow other train saves her. Then, guy she explains as named "Smear" does the same and falls down off train and bounces between two until grabbing onto thing on side of train and flapping. Saved him. Then talks about Duke, big black guy in skirts/tutus with his "rod and tackle" hanging out still. Only see him in a passing panning shot, no detail. Then more of video she didn't see before about how Smear fell off train and was killed (Smear got smeared!) Afterward, we all on top of slower train that's steam engine. Guy arguing with other guys about the time, where the train is going, etc. Storms off, climb to front of train, hear conductor saying we are going somewhere like Colorado Springs (not where we were headed, obviously). Have to pull into station so hop off and run after train going in other direction to see where headed, find out going to/through where we were headed so talk about us 3 jumping on. Guy in train wanted to get on calls into transit authority. Train stored in warehouse area to refuel, police surrounded building, dude freaks out and goes on "I have to do it!" and yadda yadda yadda give him a psych lecture about it being proving to himself or his dad or proving to someone and its getting to him. Start making a plan to work with them to make him get what he needed done.

Tri-Frag-Ta
Into and Out of Sleep Positions: Unknown

Dream jumping back and forth all the time between awake and asleep and all that shit and ending up going through three different faded dream characters all connected to the others: first one shows up sanding over bed by my trenchcoat, an African American kid, who is apparently dead. Then a girl, mid-length black hair, talk to her about the guy before and she’s confused/excited knowing he’s dead? Third guy shows up,  but not as important.

Dream 2
Into and Out of Sleep Position: Unknown

Dream about going to a friend of mine's (Amanda) house, talking to another friend of hers (Kwan) but he no talk just shows pictures of shit he painted on walls that’s weird looking (huge smiling face with teeth but no eyes or nose or hair), climb stairs but hide on them as Kwan hides around corner, Amanda comes out and sees him and confused and then I’m like tiger in plains and she might see so she does same until finds me and ruins fun, talk for a while and tells me “I broke my calf”, ask how the heck it happened, she says “quickie in shower” rolls eyes at Kwan behind her because he scoffs or something, goes on and says fell and broke calf but is walking normally and everything, hang out for a while and eventually she talks about going to do something with Kwan, so I figure I should leave so not to impose.

Dream 3
Into and Out of: Unknown

Dream about being on snowy mountainside, zombies implied but never seen. Go to a cabin and say going to stay there for a while/maybe the winter, others looking around and outside and see a ski lift building, decide going to check it out to see if have supplies and food. Team splits up, leaves 3 of us behind. Three of us start to clean up cabin (total mess, shit thrown everywhere, looks like tornado went through it) and find some random stuff that is useful and lots of junk until we come across a TV in a box. Turns out the TV is a “Death TV” and shows how a person is going to die Turn it on and see sort of idiot of the group accidentally shooting the female that stayed with us so I grab his gun and push it away just as it goes off and would have shot the girl. Keep seeing stuff happen on the TV and stopping it just in time, end up realizing there’s a “1/4 second delay between the TV and when it happens”, which not much time to stop it. Think the dream was headed in the direction of us destroying it since suddenly everything seemed to be almost going to kill us.

Frag 4
Into and Out of: Unknown

Frag dream about Pokemon going to a Pokemon heaven, and people just become sparkling dust in their world when they die. Told by a fat guy with a bald head and glasses at a hotel/motel reception counter.

Dream 4
Into and Out of: Unknown

Dream 1 about being in the place that’s cold, northern area inside giant crater with natural lake. There’s a dangerous rockwall climbing thing that people have never “completed”, but that’s because there’s a floating pirate ship of pirates at the top people have to beat to say they conquered the rock wall climbing. Guy shows up saying he’ll do it, I somehow get roped in, we have a “competition” of going through basic stuff/”training” stuff (one of which I won easily just cause I was tall enough) and play a Pokemon “shooter” game. Ends up skipping to the end and me and the guy made it to the ship. I don’t do well (the ship ends up being like a 16-bit Mario game where I look like Toad), and the other guy doesn’t beat them either, but he just barely did better than me (final score sheet where he has 537 and I have 523)

Dream 5
Into and Out of: Unknown

Dream 2 is a “music video” with Lonely Island at first, at my old school. Everything in slow mo, I pick up a blue painted missile looking thing and roll it toward the guys of Lonely Island but it rolls in a big arc and ends up in a street in front of a bunch of kids in front of my old middle school. One kid runs out to play/check it out while a guy looking like a priest tries to run after her. I look away like “oh shit” and there isn’t an explosion, but by the time I look back the kid and priest are gone with others still looking where it had been. Spend a while doing slow mo backflips and cartwheels while Lonely Island does their stuff with the chick while they wear green jumpsuits. Eventually they catch up to me doing my shit and I try to do some freestyle lines but don’t do well. Andy ends up falling on me and says something like “going to do a Senator move and lay here for a while”. Chick comes up with a wooden paddle and whaps him on the arm, then on me in the arm too. Andy says no biggie at first but I tell him it grows on you and he agrees. Then it switches to a cartoony thing where they are the “kiss masters” or something and an insect/woman/snake hybrid talks about how kissing was bad for her in the past and Andy and group are going to show her how it’s done right.

Dang, I had one hiding I forgot about too.

Frag + Dream correlation
Into and Out of: Unknown

Small fragmentish part of the dream where something feels odd in mouth, suddenly feel tooth come loose and pop out. Pick tooth out of mouth confused, but tie it back to apparently a vomiting fest earlier in the dream (that wasn’t known/experienced). Slowly start to check my other teeth, as they feel a bit odd, and use tongue to lightly push on them. Manage to push and almost dislodge left incisor with tongue. Try to push it back in place, but manage to knock it out accidentally. Remember that they say you can put the tooth back in the socket if you do it quick enough, so try to wedge tooth back in place. Little bit of pain, but goes in, but more teeth falling out. Spit at least two more. Find a mirror, open mouth to try and see where they are to try and put them back. Mouth starts feeling like teeth are in water/jello and would fall out in a heartbeat, so trying to use jaw/teeth to push them back in place to keep them from falling out. Look in mouth, see where teeth were missing (the one’s I had, others were missing and no clue where teeth went). Try putting one back, it goes in, but feels wrong/painful. Take it back out, try other one. Doesn’t look right, so not sure what to do. See part sticking out that looks odd, so push on it and it breaks off easily but looks more like normal tooth, but now it’s suddenly transparent…and attached to the other too…and looks like it’s a sharpened plastic cast for replacement for missing teeth. Try to shove it in my mouth, but it has a long tube (sort of like a substitute jaw section) that makes it impossible to put in mouth. Eventually, teeth end up feeling normalish, like they won’t fall out.

Main part of dream was separate from the rest of it, like a dream transition within the dream. I was standing on a stairwell, listening to some pastor/preacher talking about going to a service in the basement of the hotel we were in. We go down the stairs, into a sort of assembly hall. There are chairs, an altar at one side, with a religious symbol I don’t recognize. As I join the group gathering, the person I was with takes his place at the altar and begins to preach as everyone sits down. It takes about 10 seconds of him ranting and raving before I realize something is seriously wrong with it. After a few more seconds, it becomes clear they are more of a cult than a religious organization in the traditional sense, and I was sucked in at a time when they were going to start a very malevolent action. They had brought me in as part of the “ritual”, but also had the Necronomicon (pocket size edition), and some type of liquid substance that was part of the ritual. I…wasn’t about to stay around, so I took off like a bat out of Hell, sparked by the fact that the leader’s head suddenly changed and he looked like a black skull inside of an orange body (like if the skin was bright orange and see-through). At first, they all gave chase. I ended up rather quickly in an airport stairwell. Not wanting to worry about the mass amount of people going up and down the stairs to slow and get in my way, I went over the rail into a really weird spot. There was a slanted way leading up to the top, but it was bumpy and hilly and bowl shaped and swooping and…hard to explain without being in it. There was a weird spot that had a waterfall that I passed earlier, and the hill spot had the hole that fed the waterfall. However, there was no water coming from above from the bowls and stuff to actually feed the waterfall. As I was climbing up, I almost fell into the hole for the waterfall, but climbed back out. I got the rest of the way up the hill (it had difficult to get to flat spots/ramps that I used to climb most of the way).  Apparently I managed to get away from them, because they gave up. I was still on the run, and ran into a guy that told me since the ritual had been started, I know possessed certain “power” afforded me by the Necronomicon until I was actually (basically) killed for the ritual. I got to put it to a test, because a woman that looked sort of like a Hagraven in normal clothes came up to me and was threatening me. I remember she had almost no hair on her head, a pointed/beak-like nose, long and slender fingers with clawed tips, and a pale blue hoodie. She came at me and I grabbed her and she went almost totally limp, like she was paralyzed. The person with me said that was part of the power, and that I could actually destroy her (she was otherwise “indestructible”). So I did what I thought was the best idea and tried to slam her body out a glass window on a 3rd+ story floor I was on and throw her out it. However, She would not break through the glass on the first few hits. The person with me said I had to not think of her as a human, cause she no longer was. I had to accept that she wasn’t a human at all, or ever had been, so that I could truly do what I had to do. I came to accept it, and the next time she easily broke through the glass and flew out the window, disappearing as she fell to her death. When I turned back, the person with me was gone, but I kept talking to myself that she hadn’t been human, and that life had been wasted on her because of how terrible of a person she was (part of me thought this was resulting from the effects of the Necronomicon). I decided then and there that it was warpath time, so I went hunting. It did not take long to find some of the worshippers, but they either didn’t recognize me or were scared, because they saw me and paid little attention or even backed away. I found where they were setting up their final ritual: it was in an alcove between two stairways set up to be a small dining area with tiered sections. I climbed past the worshippers as they stared at me in shock and awe. I found where the new “altar” was and saw all the stuff, plus a small sword (like a small gladius) but it had rivets all along the blade.  When I got there, I didn’t see orange-head, but I was feeling cocky…so I turned to the worshippers, picked up the liquid that was part of the ritual, said “Here’s to you, bitches,” and chugged it down. They all went wide-eyed and terrified. I picked up the Necronomicon, Pocket Edition, and the gladius thing and a pool stick that was apparently around. I told myself I needed to burn the book, to really put an end to it all, and I went up another tier or two and found orange head at a low table eating. He said something about the fact that I’d messed up the ritual, and I smacked him with the pool cue. He toppled forward a little as I ran past and was trying to find somewhere to burn it, but the worshippers were close and I couldn’t throw it in a fire that wasn’t strong enough or they would just pluck it out again, so I had to find a big, strong fire. But I woke up before finding one.

Dream 1
Into Sleep Position: Laying on stomach, facing right, arms tucked under head
Out of Sleep Position: Laying on left side

Early part of the dream that isn’t quite remembered, but tied to the rest of it. The start was someone being trapped in a “base of operations” for an evil corporation. The person escaped, which made the evil people concerned about security, but didn’t see the events. The dream shifts to “Eureka”, which is a somewhat similar correlation to the Eureka from the show, though this one is more like at the very close outskirts of a major city. I was both myself and Jack (jumped back and forth between my own person and him), and hanging out with Jo, and Henry’s wife (don’t ever remember her name) and someone else I can’t recall. Henry’s wife was showing us an invention she had done, harkening back to the olden days of DaVinci. It was a contraption reminiscent of his designs: a triangular shaped “cockpit”, with two large “blades” like for a helicopter coming out the top. The whole thing was enormous: probably a 50 feet platform of the cockpit, easily 30 feet tall, and the blades spanned 100+ feet from one side to the other. We hopped on, having to take it for a test drive. It took almost nothing and the flying contraption was airborne. It gained altitude at an alarming rate, having us up a thousand feet or so in no time. As we began to fly over some of the city and see some cool places, Henry’s wife began explaining how it worked with movement, saying that even the slightest shifts in bodily gravity would cause the machine to move left, right, rise and fall. And that it would take some careful practice to properly be able to use it/maneuver it.

We started to fly over an area that first looked like scattered lakes, but we realized it was actually reflective tarps covering lots of buildings and some power transformers within a fenced in area. As we hovered over it, someone in the group realized it was the evil corporation’s headquarters from before (recognized the layout, some of the buildings). We decided we needed to investigate, so Henry’s wife started to maneuver the ship toward compound, to one building that looked the most decrepit even though there wasn’t any people perusing the internals of the compound. It seemed more than a few times like the “aircraft” was going to smash into something and kill us all, but it managed to get to the top of the building safely (it was only about a 1 story building/warehouse). We all got off, and somehow the aircraft just immediately disappeared for some reason. As we landed, we all got down and tried to be quiet, not wanting to get caught. The roof of the building seemed kinda small at first, maybe 20 feet from one side to the other, and shaped like a narrow rectangle attached to a slightly bigger square part that we did not jump on to.

We tried to be sneaky, crawling across the roof until we could see over an edge. There was someone walking through the courtyard area of the place, so we needed to figure out how to get down without being seen. I got a feeling that something bad would happen if we all started moving around too much on the roof, like the roof would collapse in from out weight since it was a pretty cruddy building to start with. Jo, Henry’s wife, and whoever the third person got up to go to the far side of the building and all walked over one part of the roof and it cracked and nearly broke. I/Jack looked at them and had a “told you so” look on my face. They grabbed some kind of wooden plank and put it over the edge of the roof and climbed down. Needing to not be seen and caught right away, we decided to duck into the building we were on since a door was nearby. Inside, the building was a lot bigger than the outside (size displacement ftw). The inside looked at first like it was a communication building: lots of large machinery and rows of things out of a sci-fi movie that had tons of switches and dials and a large circle window with a green line across it like it was going to pick up frequencies. We had a choice to go left or right, and decided left since right only looked like more run down equipment. We rounded a corner and instantly came face to face with someone.

She was medium height, dirty blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail, wearing a dark navy blue jumpsuit and holding a box with unknown contents. She looked at us for a second, we looked back at her, and I made a move. I said “Hi, we’re your relief for the day, where do you want us to start?” She got a look of complete relief over her face and told us she hadn’t had a break all day and was ready to be done. She ushered us over to the room she was in. We walked in and saw what she was doing: tending numerous animals in small habitat areas (small as in extremely small, there was one that had two great owls in it that were black and white colored side by side on a branch in a spot and they were literally squeezed in next to each other…and these owls were about the size of a decent sized watermelon as well). The lady with the ponytail fed something as we wandered around and I/Jack started looking at the cages and saw they had all the info needed on them: times to feed, what to feed, proper procedures for each. There were also listings of experiments, meaning it was an animal testing lab as well as a holding habitat for them. The lady told us she just finished a round of feeding so there was a good hour until the next one, and asked if we wanted to join her for a quick meal before she left. She had two small animals in her hands and started to walk by, but wanted to show me what she had: two very tiny baby kangaroos. She tried to hand them to me to hold, but the one she held out kicked at my chest and pushed me away with a lot of force. She laughed a little before taking them to a small back section where they went into a tiny pen with what I assumed were other baby roos. Cautious glances later, we agreed and followed her back out of the building, through the courtyard, and into a bigger building that would be the cafeteria.

We walked inside and it was a buffet style, with easily a couple hundred people already sitting an eating or working. Instant high alert as we went up to the line. The lady was already powering through it, and we didn’t know what was up, but we grabbed a tray and started to move through the line. The lady running a register asked if it was our first time, and after affirming, she handed me something extremely odd: it was a small, flat, disc-like object that looked like it had been cut from a geode (circles of dark green, light green, and black on the shiny part) with some kind of strange black and pinkish colored thing in the center. She told me to put it in my/Jack’s mouth. After a little hesitation, it went it and felt odd to start with. The lady kept making gestures with her hand about her mouth, and I couldn’t figure it out until she finally just said “don’t close your jaw, leave it open a little” and immediately when I did I could feel the object start shaking/vibrating in my mouth. I didn’t know what was going on, but got distracted as a man in a suit with short brown hair walked up, toting a bulky big guy with a military haircut for his blonde hair and wearing a high school letters jacket (red and off white colored). The man told me that two of my group (who had wandered off with the lady with the ponytail) were not who they said and were spies, so he was going to ask me and my other friend to come with for questioning. I/Jack basically made a huge scene, saying I just met them when they got here today and we were supposedly going to work together due to the increase in layoffs that had been going on and we didn’t know anything about each other. He eyeballed me but accepted it and walked off, taking the two people with him. I turned back to the line and realized that while talking, the vibrating feeling had stopped. I spit the remnants of the geode thing out as the ladies laughed at me. I didn’t know what they were laughing about but they said something like “if you had your way, you’d be here all day letting those things clean your teeth.” Confused, I walked off with my one remaining friend.

We got to the salad bar of the buffet area and no one was near, so we talked about what we were going to do since they had two of our people. We were both stumped, so just decided to play along for a bit to try and get things figured out. I was looking for the dressing, and just as I found it, I was tapped on the shoulder and turned to see the guy from before with his friend in the red and white jacket. He was smiling smugly as he said “Did you honestly think we don’t know who you are? I’m practically your biggest fan around here.” (there was clear implications that somehow I/Jack had been really infamous with the group to begin with, but not so recognizable that everyone knew who I was right off the bat). He said I had to come with him. I stood there for a bit, dumbfounded and just sort of speechless for a minute until I took the plate I had and tossed it down a rolling clean up cart for trays and stuff, muttering what was both hilarious and weird as I quickly and angrily pushed past the guy for the door “I didn’t even get any fucking pudding…” I was walking fast and in a huff, with the guy close behind and his friend close behind him. Pushing out into the courtyard area, the guy was telling me he was taking me to a quiet place to meet with their head boss person when I took my chance and booked it.

Booking it didn’t work too well, they were both pretty fast and kept a close pace, so I had to do the only thing I could think of. I planted my right foot in the ground at an angle, lowered my body so I was practically in a baseball slide and reversed direction. They weren’t prepared, so the guy in the suit slid past and tried to grab me but missed, and his bigger friend with more momentum went skidding even further (the ground was gravel, so it allowed for more slide and less instant stop and go). I got a little distance but they were closing again, and I was only heading back toward the cafeteria. So, hoping for a repeat, I did the same thing, this time managing to gain even more distance somehow. As I took off running, the bigger guy in the red and white fell behind and ran out of breath and gave up. However, the guy in the suit seemed to get even faster as he started to close ground quickly. He got within earshot and yelled “I’m faster than you, you won’t escape” and that was apparently all I needed to somehow go into hyperspeed and made him eat dust hard. He feel behind quickly and gave up as I disappeared into a line of trees near the fence around the perimeter. Then things got a little confusing.

No longer focusing on myself/Jack, the dream went to a woman in a red and white jacket (same look as the guy’s from before) dove through the tree line and through a hole in the fence that was basically invisible without looking directly for it. She saw me/Jack running and started to run after, but she was changing, transforming. She was looking wolf like (never a full transformation happened, but looked like turning into a werewolf/lycanthrope). As she was transforming, she leaned back and howled. From the outside perspective, I could see that someone ran out from the fence between her and myself/Jack, but she didn’t. So she got super speed while transforming and jumped/pounced on the person that got in the way and flipped him over, to see that it was the guy from before ALSO transforming into a werewolf. The woman got mad and howled again before taking a big bite out of the guy’s neck and collarbone before getting up and running again. However, there was now a crowd and I had disappeared into it. The dream sort of went back to focusing on me: I had apparently mugged someone and taken their royal blue hoodie and jeans to change my outfit. I started to double back, taking the chance of walking past wolf woman while in the crowd. The dream went odd again as I sort of just evaporated and in my wake, the OTHER friend that hadn’t been taken was in the crowd, wearing a black hoodie with a skull and crossbones on it, pretending to talk on a phone. She was standing against the fence, and I must have still been “around” somehow, as she was talking EXTREMELY loudly on the phone as a signal. She said “No, get the car here in an hour if that’s the best you can do!” and a few other “no”s and other things to make it seem like she was fake talking…except soon after, she started blatantly just saying “blah blah blah” into the phone loudly. It caught werewolf woman’s attention and she looked back at her, but must have just thought she was crazy because she stared for a second before continuing on.

Other girl in black hoodie went to the nearest building that was the “entrance” building to the fenced in compound and walked inside, planning to get back in because I think she assumed I had gone back in to wait for the car as well. It was a small reception area, with a guard behind a desk with bulletproof glass. She walked to the door that would open to the compound as nonchalantly as possible like she belonged there, saw there was a magnetic lock, and started to reach in her pocket for a wallet. She fiddled around and acted exasperated. She told the guard she left her passcard. The guard asked her to sign in, and get her name and enter her code, and she told him she was new and hadn’t memorized it yet. So he started to go to the back to do something when she saw a card and a sheet with the codes on it and was going for it when, sadly, I woke up.

Frag 1

It involved my stepdad, some kind of twirling weapon with a heavy end (not a flail, it was like a string with a rock tied on one end), and attacking two animals: one was a pig, the other a white cat/bunny hybrid. Both of the animals were somehow human as well as animal.

Frag 2

Playing Team Fortress 2 as a Heavy, on the "blue" team (even though we all had on white coats for some reason). Manage to dominate the other team completely somehow. Only noticeable differences were that the place looked more cartoony than the normal TF2 maps, it was a place I've never even come close to seeing in the game, and the Engineer on the red team was completely different. Instead of building turrets slowly or anything, they were building entire buildings that looked like tents, which apparently boosted their abilities, because they built one turret that both shot straight forward pretty much all the way across the map, but also occasionally launched a flying ship that would hover right over the top of the turret and shoot from above for a while as it slowly drifted back down so it could be relaunched.

I was with my mom and had somehow lost my entire lower half (everything below my ribcage). At first it was almost like it was normal, nothing special. I had a wheel-chair attachment to my lower half with motorized wheels and a "spine" column for controlling the movement that went into a smaller box below me. I opened the box at one point and saw what was now my digestive tract: a series of connected bags of some sort of plastic material stitched together. There were compartments like I would have with a body (a stomach, a tract, etc.) By the end, I broke down with the thought of not living a normal life and never having a lower body again.

Aww, that's quite a sad dream

Mostly just descriptions of a place, I was living in a house that was the one I had normally been living in, but it got a huge overhaul. I did not even realize it at first, simply walked to my normal couch in front of the TV to kill some time with the day. I should have known right away things were up, because the couches were replaced with very nice ones covered in some kind of velvety upholstery and the TV was in the middle of a huge entertainment stand (it was as wide as both of the couches pushed together, and both couches were 3-cushion couches). After watching TV for a bit, I finally realized things were different and took my first look around. I was in what could loosely be called the “living room”, which was just a humongous section of the house that had the couches and TV (and almost nothing else) somewhat close to the front door of the house but slightly off to the side. When I got up to look around, I went to the front door and saw down a slight “hallway” (in quotes because it was more like just a big wall separated the living room and the other area, but not not a barrier, more like a big L shape).  The secondary area on the first floor was flat, had huge two story windows to see the outside, a stairwell at the back that winded up the far wall to the second story. There was a depression in the ground in a circle shape (like it could have been an indoor pond, but not any water in it).

I went up the stairs and found my old roommate and he wanted to show me around some of the work that was still in progress. We went through one hallways that made sort of a J-shape (in the door, down a really short section, turn left to a slightly longer section, turn left again to the main part) that was going to be the main shower. It was easily 50 feet long, with the shower part at the far end opened up, a bathtub near the shower, and the toilet closer to the entrance than the other amenities. We went back out and started to walk through hallways that were blank white walls with brick underneath (the structure parts) being painted and the walls put up to cover them. It looked like the rest of it would be done soon, but was still a ways off. There was not much to really mention other than the construction stuff made discerning rooms impossible. A few confusion twists and turns later, we were back to the living room area (and somehow it had magically jumped up to the second floor). I noticed now that the floors were a redish-brown color, and the walls were a dull orange (actually quite beautiful). Another tenant, apparently my roommate, was sitting on the couch now watching TV. She was pretty short, maybe 5 feet and a few inches. She had a darker skin tone, but I couldn’t pick out a nationality since I only ever seemed to see her out of the corner of my eye. She had almost platinum blonde hair in tight braids, and wore a denim jacket over something else I couldn’t really make out. She told me about the renovations a little, and that we had other roommates too and that the house had a “grandfather” clause so I wouldn’t be paying any more for all the work done on it than I had before it was all going on (which was insane, considering what the price difference would have been).

Eventually I met up with another of the tenants: a woman that was married, but her husband was almost never around so she was extremely lonely.  We decided to hang out and were going to go to the local YMCA. When we got outside, I realized I didn’t have my card for the YMCA and wanted to go back in, but the door was locked. She told me we could just get in around the back because of a window she kept unlocked (so safe). As we were walking around, we ran into an older woman who was gushing info that I couldn’t keep up with to the wife. After the woman was gone, she told me the buildings across the street (older looking apartment complexes) were just purchased by the other woman’s husband and he was going to do something similar to what had been done to our house to try and turn a profit. We got to the back of the house, found the window, and I climbed in to find the maid vacuuming the lavish carpet. I was in a part of the house I hadn’t seen before, a long corridor lined with display stands for busts and vases. There were also some paintings on the walls, but I didn’t get a chance to look at any of them closely as my alarm went off and woke me up.

I was in a kind of "love hotel" that was extremely expensively designed. Had ceilings that were easily 25-30 feet high. Each floor had anywhere from 5 to 10 individual rooms, as well as larger "communal" rooms. The communal rooms were for people needing a place to go to "take care of business" on their own (not very private for something like that...). I had meandered into one of the communal rooms, and ended up meandering right back out because there were a couple people partaking of the services in there. When I went back out into the hall, I realized the place wasn't actually a "legitimate" business. The reason it was so large and lucrative was because they allowed for a private place to pay for illegal sexual acts. I found this out as an older, balding man in a white button up shirt and black slacks walked into one of the individual "private" rooms with two clearly underage kids: one girl with brown hair tied in a pony tail, and one very young boy with dirty blonde hair. Both were already disrobed as the man hurriedly pushed them into the room and closed it, right after his "bodyguard" stepped in behind him.

I got very pissed at the idea of what was happening and ran to the room and broke into it. The man was just getting into bed with the girl and I ran in and tried to stop him, but the body guard grabbed me and threw me back out of the room. I got somewhat lucky as the older guy got annoyed at me barging in and stopped to go complain to the management while I had the bodyguard to deal with. The bodyguard was none other than Danny Trejo, dressed in a light blue denim top, wife beater under shirt, and jeans. He was, obviously, a lot bigger and stronger, so I ran to find something to fight with and managed to find something from where I work (it was the base to wardrobers, heavy metal rectangles with a few parts sticking out for where the actual part that clothes hang off come out). They were a little awkward to use and heavy to swing around, but once I found the right way to hold them I was able to use them as decent weapons. Whenever he got close, it only took a couple of swings to catch him with a hit or two in the sides and send him reeling back. After enough hits, he ran back and disappeared in an elevator shaft that went up to some other place. I ran back into the room to the kids and told them to get out while they still could. They were hesitant for some reason, but eventually decided to make a run for it before the guy got back. I left the room they were in and went into the hall to see yet another guy bringing and underage kid into a room. Lucky for me, I still had the big metal bases on my hands.

I had a Facebook message. It was one I had been both hoping for and greatly concerned about getting. I read it, which was in multiple parts, and pretty much sunk into a really strong depression. It was not what I had hoped to hear in the message. I woke up briefly afterward, with the feeling of defeat/depression carrying over for a while until it settled and I fell back asleep.

I've listed this as "two" dreams, but in reality it was probably 8 or 9 separate dreams that were all sort of connected. The distinction is between the first set of dreams and the second set of dreams.

Dream(s) 1

Into Sleep Position: Laying on right side, arms out
Out of Sleep Position: laying on back

The first set of four concurrent dreams all had the same place, theme, layout, basic series of events: a group of about 7 or 8 people, including myself, were at the entrance to a building that was listed as a "gymnasium" (the entire dream set for both parts was in a high school or college campus type set up, with a lot of separate buildings). For this "gymnasium", we were required to go inside and stop a riot that had taken place from, what I could gather, were escaped prisoners (i.e., the gymnasium was actually more like a huge holding area for criminals). As soon as we went inside, everything sort of slowed down as we saw the criminals. Most of them were armed with guns, some with weapons like chains and bats. Most of the group I was in had a gun of some sort, some far more powerful than others (one I remember that was unique looked like a cross between a machine gun and a shotgun, and had 4 barrels, two side by side, one larger one on top, and one much smaller on on the bottom in a + shape). I had an assault rifle, an M4 or M16 or something along those lines. We ran in and went on a shooting spree, trying to take them down. I managed to shoot one guy, and take his weapon from him in the process: a pump-action shotgun. We spent the rest of the first round of the dream pushing through the waves, shooting left and right. I found out about halfway through that there was supposedly 500 of the criminals we had to get through. Each new door we went through led to a new room that had almost no furnishings, and a new wave of enemies. I can't remember if we made it to the end and got them all.

The dream reset abruptly and we were back at the entrance. This time, however, we had bludgeoning weapons instead of guns. I had some kind of huge pool cue, and the rest had other useful weapons of a varying nature. We did the same as last time, run in and beat them all down. About halfway through, I saw a new man in our group: Barry Weiss from Storage Wars. He was flashing a metal "ring" he had on his hand that covered most of his right ring finger. It was black, covered in v-shape patterns aimed like they were pointing at the tip of his fingers. He took it off and handed it to me. I put it on, and it was some kind of power gauntlet or something, because I went on a pummeling rampage that sent convicts flying back or reeling in pain every time I gave them a good punch with the ring thing on. When we had beat them, Barry wanted the ring back, so I gave it to him. Then, the dream reset again. This time, it was really straightforward: I was apparently feeling extremely confident form the last run through and I decided I was going to take on any and all of the criminals at once in hand to hand combat, as long as they were willing to keep it a "fair" fight. So it was another brawl-fest, but it never got to the end (beating 500 guys in a row is tough business).

Dream(s) 2

Into Sleep Position: Unknown
Out of Sleep Position: Laying on back

Out on the "campus", I was walking with friends and we decided to go to their house. They lived nearby, but we got a ride from their parents. At their house, it  was, for lack of a better way to try and explain it, a secret arctic laboratory. It had dips and hills inside that led to various different places of experiments, funny bubbling liquids, all kinds of crazy stuff. We were walking around and talking, and apparently it was sort of a haven for people because we passed groups of people on a regular basis, when an alarm started to go off. Out of nowhere, a bunch of slightly cartoonish people just appeared, all of them wearing futuristic, techno-jumpsuits (like a Batman-outfit, minus the cape and hood). Not knowing what they wanted, we did the only logical thing: get into a fight. I disarmed one of them (they all had swords, of various lengths, curvature, styles, etc.). I lost track of the other people I was with and just went around cutting them down left and right. I battled to nearly the entrance where people were being pushed out in careful order, but the bad people were stealing large glass vials of bubbling liquids. I was cutting through both the people, and the vials. Some tried to defend, but most were too slow on the draw. One of the people trying to get the innocent people out said that there was nothing to worry about, the vials were harmless. But as I cut one that was full of green liquid and it splashed on the ground, it started to bubble and eat through the ground. I pointed to it and said "does that look harmless to you?" as a noxious cloud of gas started to raise, and everyone panicked and started running. Woke up right after that, but went back to sleep and had a kind of reset again.

This time we were still on campus and still got a ride, but it was from different people (a couple friends I know IRL). We went back to the same place as before, same set up, but this time was for a pleasant dinner with the family. Except the pleasant dinner was quickly interrupted by someone I know showing up completely looking like they had gone through the ringer. I didn't get a good look, but they were clearly pissed at first and said they were going to take a shower. I finally caught a glimpse and saw how bad it really was: clothing torn, hair disheveled, coated in sweat and other "fluids", and graffiti written all over their body (some of the worse of it saying things like "Cox Ucker" and "Slut"). She had clearly been crying, was spitting up thick mucus. I asked what happened and she told me she went to a party/concert and went to the bathroom and got involved in a Jerk Ring, but she was knocked out and repeatedly taken advantage of. I saw, while she was explaining, that some of her teeth had been broken in during all of it as well.

Bit on the upsetting side, that was.

I had just very recently gotten married and was on some sort of strange honeymoon/business trip/something. I think I was supposed to be a musician because I looked a bit like Dave Navarro at times. I was either extremely tall, or my wife was extremely short (or both, though later events made me think the former was more likely). She had long black hair, tied back in a pony tail. She had glasses too. We were in a hotel, but it was some sort of mobile hotel (only known because there was a window in the bathroom by the shower that could see moving scenery outside). There was an actual plot of events, but I don't remember most of them. Sadly, my mind was clouded by a brief shower scene (nothing actually exciting happened) where the whole "I was super tall" came into play because I had to duck and still had by back pressed against the ceiling of the shower area slightly uncomfortably. The wife was non-too-pleased with the cramped space either, though she fit into it much nicer.
