5-7-08Pretty fair recall last night. I actually woke up and didn't have to have an epic struggle to dredge up some little details. It mostly just came back to me. I hope this means my recall is back. I went to bed at about 12. I ate at Cici's last night, then spent like an hour moving my great-aunt's ancient washing machine out of her basement, then we were hunting for my mom's car keys for another hour and finally I did some work on Multisim trying to figure out why my 556 timer lucid dreaming mask circuit wasn't working IRL, but was working on there. (I didn't figure it out, but now I do know how to make it work IRL. It's gonna be awesome). I forgot to take my vitamin last night too.
Planning a party for rich kidnappers/visit to steel mill
I woke up from this dream at 5:11. I knew I had dreamed, and concentrated for a moment, then remembered just about everything.
It started off that I was this peasant girl. I had been kidnapped by these rich people because they thought I had noble blood and that I was rich too. They wanted me to plan a party for them. I guess they thought I knew about throwing parties because I was a rich lady. So I was going about planning stuff, but the only thing I really remember is I was wearing this kinda funny-looking sweater and I was with an assistant looking at a dress. She said, "So you'll have to do a brocade or something," and I said, dreamily, "No, this sweater will be fine..." She was horrified that I was going to wear that to the party.
The next thing I remember, I was in this classroom and I was trying to teach some people about complex numbers. I didn't know what I was doing, even though I understood the material. I guess I was a substitute or something. Then Dave M. from work walked in and he was the real teacher of the class. He took over and did a much better job than I did. I remember he drew a square on the chalkboard with some fat chalk and then wrote in the real and imaginary parts of two complex numbers inside it.
The next thing I remember, and I'm certain this was part of the same dream, is that I was myself again, and I was going to this steel mill with Dave M. It was also a school, and the people who worked there were all like, college age, and were learning physics I think. We came in on a cable car and I vividly remember looking out at the warehouse where they were storing the steel. There were all different sizes of W sections. Some were really huge. I actually had a little control, even though I wasn't lucid, which is strange. I wanted to see the metal being poured, so I looked around until I found a huge crucible spilling out molten steel. I thought it was really cool.
I don't remember getting off the cable car, but then I was on the ground, looking at some of the students operating the crane that held the crucible. I noticed that they were pouring the steel pretty close to where they were standing. They poured it into a vat that was just above eye level, right next to them, and some steel splashed out, all over the guy who was standing closest to it! I was shocked, but he seemed okay. The steel froze right as it hit him. It then looked more like aluminum, because it was bright and shiny. He had strands of the stuff hanging all over him. This happened to another guy later, who purposefully stood under the steel.
I somehow knew that we weren't supposed to be there, but I pretended to be a worker. A female student noticed I was shocked that the guy had molten steel poured all over him, so she said that it was okay, he just had to be careful to not get it in the space between his pant legs and the top of his shoes. I assumed that his hair and clothes protected him from the heat. She told me about the second guy, that having the steel poured on him keeps him from getting scratches on his fingers while he's working.
Then we went inside the mill, and my old physics teacher from BW was in there. He started a lesson about how to set a piece of foam on fire. All the students were gathered around and the girl who had just talked to me was called up to try to work the lighter, because the teacher couldn't get it to work. The lighter was really complicated too. It had a lever in the back that had to be pulled out, and a button that had to be depressed or it wouldn't light. I saw that she was having a hard time too, because she wasn't pushing the button down. I gave it a try and lit it on the first try. I then held the flame to a piece of grey foam, but it didn't start on fire. It just smoldered. We tried to blow on it to get it to burn better, and at one point there was a weak flame on it, but then it died out.
I'm pretty sure it was at this point I woke up and wrote this and then the next dream down.
Watching videos of Mortal Mist members and posting
Yeah, another MM dream without getting lucid. It's okay though, this happened last week too, then I had a great weekend. I actually had this dream before the last one, but didn't remember it until after i had written that one down. Strange.
I was reading posts in the dream journal section, and remember I saw a video that
Raklet had posted. He was standing there talking and was in long underwear. I never saw his picture, so he looked like a guy I used to go to college with, Eric, who had kind of reddish hair and freckles. He was standing in front of the camera talking about something, then he said "Look at this!"
: semi-raunchy content show He pointed to his legs and in the fabric of his longjohns you could see the "slit mark" from where 2 women had been sitting astride his legs and rubbing on him.
I then posted a response to his video that said, "Well, I didn't actually see the girls, but you are the coolest person I've ever met!" (I assumed the girls were hot). At one point later, I think I did see them, and they were, in fact, hot.
I went to another part of the forum, and I posted somewhere, "I miss
Two Shadows." I made another post that said "I miss
Burns." I apparently thought they hadn't moved to MM from DV. Then I looked at the list of dream journals and saw both Two Shadows' and Burns', and realized they had come here. I was happy for that.
Random misplaced fragment
I'm not sure if this isn't maybe a part of one of these other dreams, but I remember being outside of a Wal-Mart. It was pretty small though, and I thought that it was a shame they had turned the store into a Wal-Mart, because it used to be a different store that was much bigger and had more stuff.
Revisit of first dream - Fragment
In this one, I was back in the first dream, trying to light the foam on fire. I struggled a little with the lighter, but got it to work, then I blew on the foam to try to get the smoldering to start an actual flame, it glowed a little brighter, but eventually just turned ash white and died out. I was trying to get other people to blow on it, but they weren't doing any better.
I think my alarm went off at this point, so that's about all I remember.
