By my current average I should be due a lucid any day now, so sit tight and trudge on through my boring non lucids for now if you are interested
20th March 2012I am at some sort of family gathering, I can't tell what it's for but I believe it is a funeral for my grandma (thankfully she is still with us IWL though). Everyone is chatting and there is a barbecue with food, but my Grandad is sitting alone at a bench, not talking to anyone or moving. He looks unbelievably depressed. I already know what is wrong, he is upset because his wife has died and he knows that it will be his time soon. This, in turn, makes me upset also. I walk over to talk to him and he just says "Go away and leave me alone". I can't remember what I said back, but it was enough to convince him to actually talk to me.
I walk away and he says "Wait... Pull up a chair kiddo". I grab a plastic garden chair and sit next to him. We start talking for a bit when I notice we are next to the ocean. I watch the waves, they look very different to IWL but I do not catch on. They are much bigger and darker, and are moving side to side instead of out and in. I remember being worried that we are far too close to the waves. After I think that, the tide comes in and I tell Grandad we have to leave as it's too dangerous. As we are scrambling off the beach the tide gets worse. It sweeps my Grandad out to sea. I scream and jump in to try and save him. However as quickly as it came, the tide goes out again and he is lost.
My family come running over to see what happened. I don't tell them anything, instead I am staring at lots of strange inscriptions in the sand. There are some words, as well as a picture of a man and a woman holding a balloon. I also find various pieces of metal (big nuts and bolts) as well as a claymore MINE!?!? I decide it's not best to dig around any longer, so I stop playing about with it. I also assume that the metal was to allow metal detectors to find this buried stuff...very weird. I follow these clues and it leads me into a building. Here I meet a butler, and a chef. They are preparing food (maybe for the funeral) while I try and solve this puzzle.
I go home where I am staying with my friend J. He doesn't have a couch, so I push together two armchairs for me to sleep on, seems comfy enough. He has big massive windows all around his living room which you can see out of. I ask him to leave the curtains open as I quite like the view and I don't really care if people can see me, he obliges and bids me goodnight. It is now the morning in the dream, and I head back to the building alone to try and find out more about what happened.
There is an article on the news that is saying something lost treasure. I guess this is referring to the stuff that I found on the beach. I talk to the butler about what is happening, and he says he doesn't know much as he only just started working here. I then go and talk to the chef about it. The chef is down a staircase (that leads out to a stadium???) so I walk down the steps and start talking to him. The butler is watching us from the top of the stairs. I mention that the butler didn't know anything and the chef says "Are you talking about Tom? I don't think Tom told you anything". I turn to the butler, Tom, and say "What does he mean?" The scene goes dark and sombre and the butler says "Tom has been dead for 20 years".
I am horrified by this, I panic and run away. I reunite with the chef who hands me a knife and a sharpener so I can fight this guy. However he passes it to me blade first and I cut myself. The butler seems nice enough, he grabs some toilet paper and asks me how many pieces to stop the bleeding. I say 3, then he grabs 3 pieces and folds that in half. When he lets go, it suddenly has a poster drawn with my blood! It looks horrifying. He tosses it away and walks towards me. My perspective changes and I see a girl catch the poster. I knew this was bad news, as soon as she caught it a lorry/truck came along and killed her. I don't recall going back to the scene with me in it.

I wake and fall back to sleep, where I dream of being in a McDonalds store somewhere that I do not recognise. I work at McDonald's part time IWL so I ask them if I can make my own food and they say yes. I head into the back where I am staring at the options available. Some guy is shifting big heavy boxes around which is starting to annoy me as he is getting in the way. It is taking me a long time to decide what I want to eat, but the other workers don't seem to be getting annoyed so I continue to decide. I finally settle for chicken nuggets, however as I go to put them in the bag I notice they have cheese melt dippers, so I decide to get those instead. However one of them has burst and there is cheese everywhere! I scoop the cheese out as well as the other dippers, and take my bag to go and pay for it.

Fragment: Cooking curry but accidentally making spaghetti instead of rice, I wonder whether it will still work or if my meal will be ruined.

Fragment: On a bus and the driver turns sideways too quickly, the bus topples over and everyone goes flying

Dreams are starting to scare me now, I hope this stuff about my Grandparents is not some sort of premonition. Not sure if there is any deeper meaning in there too. Also I am almost 20 years old which is how long 'Tom' has been dead for. Who is Tom anyway? What does this all mean?
