Two dreams again last night. Don't really have too much detail on the first one, but here we go.
***
Dream One
Me and my brother were really hungry and there was nothing to eat in the house. So we decided to go to a local pizza place and pick up some pizza. I don't remember what happened, but I know a quick walk turned into a long and tiring journey. Eventually, when we got there, we were about to order and my mom called and said she was picking up some food. We were pretty pissed.
Dream Two
I was at a car dealer with my mom and my aunt I guess. I think there were some other people there too. It was a car dealer that I went to recently, looking for a new car. When we got there, the cars I had been looking at were all gone. And something weird was happening. I remember my aunt and mom fighting with a bunch of people, and the cool guy who helped us last time was missing. Eventually there was a gun fight or something, and the FBI showed up. And then I remember driving out of there in a pretty sweet car, but it wasn't the car I wanted. Oh well.

Consume Everything
So, I had a pretty long day, and just got back from seeing Sucker Punch (which is now officially my favorite movie of all time) but I did have a pretty cool dream last night. I had two, but can only remember one now. If the other comes back to me, I'll edit this post.
***
I was in a parking lot in my friends car outside of the college I recently got accepted into, and I'm transferring over from my two year school. I was talking to him about something, and then I went inside for an interview. Inside, I was given a test to take, and sent upstairs to a cafeteria on a balcony. I found an empty table, and started doing my test, when a student approached me and started bothering me. I don't know what he was saying, but I know at one point he stole my bag and hid it from me. I said something like "what are you, two?" and he said something stupid back, but I just let my anger settle and moved to another table. I thought that it might have been part of my test to not get angry at people like that, but when I moved someone else started harassing me too. Eventually someone came up to me and said I had a gift like most people accepted into this school, and when something like that happened, I was supposed to destroy them. Then they lead me through consuming them, making me grow stronger. The power felt amazing. And I was shown a grid with how my power would grow with each consumption. But then I woke up.

Almost There
I feel like I'm getting closer to a lucid dream, I keep thinking things in dreams that I would only think outside of the dream, like "why am I doing that? I could just do this" but then I'm back to following the story of the dream instead of breaking off into my own. Here's one from last night.
***
I don't know if this happened first or if it was a completely different dream, but I was outside my house and some friends showed up. They showed me an invention they had where if they pointed it at two of the same species of something, it would create a clone of the two. To show me an example, he pointed it at two different trees, and then pointed it in the middle, and it created a third tree. After that, one of my other friends showed up with a similar invention, except you could just point it at one person, and then it would clone them, instead of needed two similar specimens. Some weird stuff happened that I don't really remember all the way, I had a toy giraffe and I went into my room and there were some friends in there vacuuming for some reason. I don't know what happened with that.
What I remember next is getting ready to board a train, and it was like we kept going back in time to investigate what happened. The first time the train took off, it was shot down by terrorists or something. When we rewound we would view everything from different angles and we eventually found out that one of team members (we were now like a special ops force or something) was escorting V.I.P. targets onto the train, an important man and his son. This time, since we knew the attack was coming, we had two units mounted on the front of the train with RPGs to take them out. Eventually, they were chasing our train, and I was hanging on. It was actually a pretty awesome chase, it was like a train on roller coaster tracks, going really fast. I had to duck under certain things and lay flat on my back, but at one point the train dove underwater (it was completely fine though, as this was a planned escape route) but I sipped off. I swam after it, still avoiding the men chasing me, and following in a current that was dragging the train through the water. Outside of this one cave was the leader of the bad guy group. I could tell right away that's who he was. I think he said something to me, but I was unarmed so I swam fast past him. Inside, the cave was still flooded with water, and I had lost the train. I had to keep stopping at these little holes to breath in some air. There were arrows pointing in all directions, I guess used to confuse enemies which direction to go for the exit. The arrows were even moving around at one point, and I felt like I was trapped in a maze. Eventually, I managed to find my way out into an exit, and there were some of my family there waiting for me. I think my special ops force was there as well. At this point I knew there had been an apocalypse (though, it could have happened way before, my character was conscious of this the whole time, but I as the dreamer was just finding this out now). We found ourselves in an abandoned kitchen, and we managed to find some food. We started taking what we could, but while we were looking around, we found a freezer with a few dead bodies in it. We realized it would be best to leave as soon as possible but as we were heading to the door, the house owner came back. When he found us in his house, he pulled out a gun and was shooting at us. A crazy fight emerged, I remember fighting some hell hounds and stuff like that. At the end of it, we learned he was only killing people who came to his house in order to protect his family. He didn't realize we were friendly. He gave us a few guns to take down the bad guys, and we went on our way. Also, during the fight, we had thought some of our family member had died. He thought he lost his daughter, and I thought I lost my aunt and her daughter, but in the end everyone was okay (except the demon dog I messed up). We continued walking until one of my task force member said he recognized the area we were in and that we were going to visit his Grandpa Waldo. We entered the house and Waldo was a crazy man, but we were all happy for a little while. Unfortunately, I woke up at this point and was not able to see if we took out the evil man in charge.

Let's Get it On
Alright, weird dream, but here we go (aren't they always weird?)
***
Dream One
I woke up in the middle of the night and I guess my girlfriend was sleeping over, and then we had "relations". After that, we went into my moms room, but her mom was sleeping there instead. We went back into my room and her phone was ringing. She picked it up and said it was her dad and he wanted to talk to me. So I answered the phone and he told me to meet him in the kitchen. I went into the kitchen and there was a bunch of monitors set up, like a security office and they were being used to keep an eye on the entire house. He showed me the camera in my room and then we freaked out. Yeah, he definitely wanted to kill me. I tried to talk to him and explain to him that we loved each other and whatever, but he didn't want to hear it. Her mom came out and asked what was going on and he showed her the tape, but she laughed and said she was impressed (in reality, she would have killed me too). I remember finally sitting down with her dad and talking to him, and he kind of understood and left it alone. And the next thing I remember, I was at a gay club (my friends go there and I sometimes go along, but yeah) and that's all I remember.
Dream Two
Forgot about this until just a little while ago. I was hanging out in a parking lot with the cast of Glee and I guess I was on the show with them(don't ask me why) and then my agent called me for some reason and I was walking down the road and had to take out some people in the building across the street. So I was shooting at them Grand Theft Auto style and took most of them out but one started to run and got in a truck. So I chased him down and shot the car until it burst into flames and blew up. The end!

My Girl
Last night had two dreams involving my girlfriend, possibly because me and my friends had an entire day for her yesterday. But there was plenty of weird stuff going on in these dreams, so enjoy.
***
Dream One
I was at my great grandparents house in Florida, and there were a lot of people outside who live here in New York. Recently, we had a funeral in Florida and it seemed like that in the dream, so I'm going to assume that's why we were all there. One of my aunts came up to me and said my girlfriend was missing back home, because she ran away after punching her little sister in the face. I got worried so I called her a few times, but she didn't pick up. I was panicking, and some stuff was happening (I don't remember what, I just know stuff happened), and I think I eventually ran back to my house. When I came home, she was in my room laying under a blanket on my floor, and I asked her what happened, but it turned out nothing was wrong. And the only other thing I remember was playing Monster Rancher 2 (a PSOne game) and getting further than ever with her...yeah...
Dream Two
This dream was really weird...I woke up and turned on my computer, and was browsing a webcam site and I kept seeing people banging on webcam. I heard people running around outside my bedroom, and when I looked I saw my brother trying to peek in, then I heard him unlocking the door. I was trying to close all of my tabs and my girlfriend came in and asked what I was doing on the computer. I don't know what I said, but then she wasn't there anymore, and my brother was. This confused me in the dream, and sometimes this happens to me, where I can't remember who I love, and I think I love someone else, but don't want to. So because my girlfriend was there a second ago, but it was now my brother, I thought I was in a relationship with him (yeah...) but I didn't want to be, and I felt lost and confused but couldn't remember that I had a girlfriend. But, then I woke up, and everything was normal again and I sent a text to my girl reminding her how much I loved her.

Busy Day
Ok, I'm editing this post now because yesterday I had people at my house all day from the moment I woke up until about three in the morning, and I didn't feel like typing up a dream then. But, this is all I remember about it.
***
I was on this very site, creating a new blog. This time, I was going to create a blog about anime I think (Majin, you essentially were in my dream, since I believe I'm dreaming this since I read your blog every day haha). Then I remember reading something about a new Kingdom Hearts game and I remember setting up the new blog. The banner on my blog was a picture of a moon in space, with stars surrounding it, but it remind me of Sgt.Frog for some reason (which is my favorite anime and if you haven't seen it and are into anime, I would suggest checking it out) and then I remembered I used this image for my other blog (which I clearly did not). Then, I remember something about porn that I was trying to get rid of (I really don't know what the hell was going on in this dream) but later when I was reading the comments on one of my blog posts, I saw a picture of BEN (again, from the Jadusable story). This was a picture of the Elegy of Emptiness statue, staring up at the moon from my banner. It was as if he was coming up from my computer though, and not part of the picture. You could only see him from behind, but his face was reflected in the moon, and it was a very creepy evil grin, as opposed to the blank creepy face it usually has. And that's all I remember.

A Second Chance
Two dreams that I can remember last night. The first one has a little bit of bad content in it, but keep in mind this is only a dream that I had no control over and I was actually omnipotent in this dream, not really playing a character. The second dream was actually VERY scary while I was in it, but probably won't really sound like it.
***
Dream One
There was this big, muscle guy outside his house with his daughter, she was probably about sixteen, maybe a little younger. I'm not sure what they were doing but he looked abusive. Eventually, some skinny guy who looked like he was a drug addict showed up, and tried to have his way with her or something and I'm not sure if he did or not. Her dad grabbed him after and I thought maybe he actually did care about his daughter, but instead he started beating him up asking for payment, because I guess he sells his daughters body to people. The skinny guy started to run away and tried to escape through the garage, but the dad caught up to him and shot him.
Now, I think a whole bunch of people someone got caught up in all of this, but I don't remember what happened. The next thing I remember was after all of that happened, and everyone saw the consequences of their actions, they were given a second chance. Everything went back in time, and I could hear a narrator explaining what happened. The skinny guy this time did not force himself on the daughter, but the dad still went through with killing some other guy (I guess after he killed the skinny guy, he went on to kill someone else for some reason). And the dream explained how certain people realized what they had done was wrong, while others did not. And I'm pretty sure in this dream, they were shown a glimpse of hell to prove it existed and if they did not change, they would end up there.
Dream Two
I saw a preview for Grand Theft Auto V on TV, and it was really weird because it involved time travel or something. Then I was playing it and I had to protect these two buildings in the past, in order to change the future or something. After that, I was playing what was supposed to be a DLC expansion, but it was like I was actually living it. In the expansion, there had been a murder, I'm going to assume it was a little girl because of what happened later. I remember walking around to different crime scenes, and one of them was the father of the killer saying "yes...that's my gun" to one of the officers. I was walking with my friend saying "I think it's cool that we get to see what happens after the story. We never get to see much after the bad guy gets arrested or killed". We were walking to different places on the map (because I could pause the game and create a waypoint) and exploring different objectives. At one point, the game started getting a little creepy. We found this cracked sidewalk, and we were jumping around it, but at one point I found this ledge with a little crack in it and a little girls voice said in my head "Don't step on the crack or you'll break your mothers back". I purposely jumped on the crack, thinking it might advance the game because we were stuck at the moment, and the crack broke off from the ledge and I fell backwards. I landed hard on the ground and couldn't move. At this point, both of our avatars were little girls, but in the dream I was looking through the eyes of the girl. Laying there on the ground, I felt like I had broken my own back, and I thought I was going to die. Me, not the little girl. The other little girl (who I think was now being played by my girlfriend, because I would occasionally see me and her sitting on the couch, watching what was happening on screen) helped me get up, and we went to a different waypoint to see if we could figure out what to do. We arrived at this old womans house who pretty much just pointed us back to the sidewalk with the crack. When we got back, I missed the jump completely this time, but landed on my feet. Looking straight ahead, I saw what looked like a portal with a giant eye in it, and when I looked at it, my vision started fading. I told my partner to come down and look with me, and when we both looked into it, we either saw a cutscene, or were teleported to another area. Here, we learned that the two little girls were orphans or something for this creepy old lady (it might have been the one who pointed us back to the sidewalk) and they were abused daily. I think the lady was sorry or something though, and the little girls wanted to stay with her, so we brought their souls peace or something. I don't really remember what happened inside the portal, but I remember it being very creepy.

Creation of the Universe
Weird dream last night....
***
Me, my dad, and my brother were on a road trip down to Florida for some reason. Typical driving in the dream, nothing weird about it. I remember getting out of the car a few times to go into a place to use the bathroom or eat or something. I asked him if we could see my favorite band (who is currently touring) if they come near a state we are going to be in, and he said yes because he likes them too. The next stop they were going to be in was Washington D.C. but we had already passed there so we were going to see if they were going to be close on our way back. We pretty much reached Florida and turned around right away. I don't remember the road trip back, but I do remember that we were in his house, hiding from drug dealers. Now, my dad was not in any trouble, but some drug dealers were after my cousin, who again was not in any trouble but was connected to someone who was. No one in my family did anything wrong, but the drug dealers were led to believe so. I looked through windows and saw that they had finally found us. My brother was sleeping in my dad's bedroom, and the dealers came busting through the doors shooting people up. There were other people in the house with us, all armed to the teeth.
I saw a big, towering, fat black man come in, and I shot him with my airsoft gun (I really don't know why all I have in my dreams is an airsoft gun...) and he turned to look at me. I ran into the guest room, and I was panicking and crying and begged him not to kill my family and I told him I would explain everything if he would just listen. He heard me out, and told the other guys that we were innocent in all of this, and we thanked him for understanding. Some people died though, and I was pretty upset, asking where my dads body was. They pointed downstairs to a couch, and out popped a guy who was my dad in the dream, but not my dad in real life I was happy, but then I saw my real dad upstairs, and for a split second I knew the other guy was my dream dad, but didn't connect with the fact that I was in a dream. After the chaos, police showed up and starting searching every single house on the block. The drug dealers ran (at this point, we were actually pretty cool with them though) but the police didn't chase them. They had come for something else.
I ran after some of the police officers, but suddenly had roller blades on, and I asked him what they were here for. One of the officers said they were looking for dwarf houses (I honestly have NO IDEA) and some high up government agent was coming to test an invention. I skated back to my house and as I was skating, I fell backwards but continued to glide to the house. I guess the scientist who had created the invention was helping us defend against the dealers, because he was inside and came through the front door. The government agent showed up, holding what looked like a bazooka. He aimed it up at the sky, and fired a shot. A blast propelled through the night sky, hitting a star, and exploding it. The star then formed into a solar system where we could visibly see the planets, and more stars erupted from the blast as well. He explained that the planets could harbor life in the event that the planet was going to be destroyed, and we saw an image of the planet already growing trees. Everyone was happy and excited about leaving the planet and went into the house to gather some things to leave. The man took another shot at a different star, but something shot out of the back of the invention as well, causing the house to explode and burst into flames. I was devastated, as everything that I had just got back was now destroyed. All of my family that I thought I had lost, but had actually been saved, were now gone for good.
Somewhere in all of this, I disappeared, it's possible I ran into the house. The only thing left was a woman sitting on the stoop, and her toddler. I'm not sure if her toddler was actually there, because someone ran into the fire (again, it might have been me) and different people continued to be shown living. It was like they were all talking to each other, in their own voices, but only one person was seen at a time. The final one was the womans toddler, and she grabbed her from the flames saying never to do "something" again (I don't remember what that something was) and I knew she said this because it would change who the little girl was. I'm guessing everyones spirits had been sealed inside of the girl, and she could change into them by doing "something" and the mother just wanted her little girl. I guess all of us were trapped inside her, like a bunch of multiple personalities.

Me, my dad, and my brother were on a road trip down to Florida for some reason. Typical driving in the dream, nothing weird about it. I remember getting out of the car a few times to go into a place to use the bathroom or eat or something. I asked him if we could see my favorite band (who is currently touring) if they come near a state we are going to be in, and he said yes because he likes them too. The next stop they were going to be in was Washington D.C. but we had already passed there so we were going to see if they were going to be close on our way back. We pretty much reached Florida and turned around right away. I don't remember the road trip back, but I do remember that we were in his house, hiding from drug dealers. Now, my dad was not in any trouble, but some drug dealers were after my cousin, who again was not in any trouble but was connected to someone who was. No one in my family did anything wrong, but the drug dealers were led to believe so. I looked through windows and saw that they had finally found us. My brother was sleeping in my dad's bedroom, and the dealers came busting through the doors shooting people up. There were other people in the house with us, all armed to the teeth.
I saw a big, towering, fat black man come in, and I shot him with my airsoft gun (I really don't know why all I have in my dreams is an airsoft gun...) and he turned to look at me. I ran into the guest room, and I was panicking and crying and begged him not to kill my family and I told him I would explain everything if he would just listen. He heard me out, and told the other guys that we were innocent in all of this, and we thanked him for understanding. Some people died though, and I was pretty upset, asking where my dads body was. They pointed downstairs to a couch, and out popped a guy who was my dad in the dream, but not my dad in real life I was happy, but then I saw my real dad upstairs, and for a split second I knew the other guy was my dream dad, but didn't connect with the fact that I was in a dream. After the chaos, police showed up and starting searching every single house on the block. The drug dealers ran (at this point, we were actually pretty cool with them though) but the police didn't chase them. They had come for something else.
I ran after some of the police officers, but suddenly had roller blades on, and I asked him what they were here for. One of the officers said they were looking for dwarf houses (I honestly have NO IDEA) and some high up government agent was coming to test an invention. I skated back to my house and as I was skating, I fell backwards but continued to glide to the house. I guess the scientist who had created the invention was helping us defend against the dealers, because he was inside and came through the front door. The government agent showed up, holding what looked like a bazooka. He aimed it up at the sky, and fired a shot. A blast propelled through the night sky, hitting a star, and exploding it. The star then formed into a solar system where we could visibly see the planets, and more stars erupted from the blast as well. He explained that the planets could harbor life in the event that the planet was going to be destroyed, and we saw an image of the planet already growing trees. Everyone was happy and excited about leaving the planet and went into the house to gather some things to leave. The man took another shot at a different star, but something shot out of the back of the invention as well, causing the house to explode and burst into flames. I was devastated, as everything that I had just got back was now destroyed. All of my family that I thought I had lost, but had actually been saved, were now gone for good.

Chasing an Escape
Had some weird dreams last night. I'm just going to write about them, not sure how much I can type about them since they felt short, but I guess we'll see.
***
Dream One
I was playing Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies with my friends, except it was like I was actually in the game. I was running around on the Ascension map. I lost all my weapons and stuff, so I was waiting for someone to open the door to the mystery box, and they eventually did. When I went to open the box, someone else had just opened it and they got a big fist, which when selected it...gave them a big fist. Anyway, when I opened the box, it gave me...a box of chewy sprees. They were very yummy but, didn't help much with the zombies...also, when I dropped them on the floor they changed into different weapons...like paper shurikens. Again, didn't help much. All of a sudden though, I was inside the guest room at my dad's house and the zombies were breaking in, and I was killing them but my friends were busy texting or not paying attention. I was yelling at them to help but yeah. We lost.
Dream Two
I was outside my house with my friends, and we were walking around looking for something. I don't know what, but we were just exploring the snowy backyard (don't know why it was snowy, but it was) and we decided to go inside. But we then realized we didn't know how we got outside. I have two doors in my backyard, a sliding glass door up on a deck, and under the deck there is a door leading to the basement. We needed to know which door we went outside from because the others were most likely locked. I went to the front to see if we had come in through that door, and while I was on my way there I realized that if one of the other doors was opened it would set off the alarm instantly, and my brother was sleeping in the house. As soon as I thought that though, I heard the alarm go off and I yelled for one of my friends to unlock the front door so I could type in the code. He opened it and I entered the code, but it wouldn't stop. Then it said I needed to speak the password (which usually happens if the alarm goes off and the company calls me to make sure no one broke in and forced me to shut off the alarm or something) and I said it, but the alarm system told me it was incorrect. So I was pretty much at a loss. The next thing I knew I was sitting on a train with some old guys who looked like...I don't know how to explain it actually. They looked like the people high up from an evil organization who had a secret reason for doing what they were doing and were going to use me as a pawn. They told me my mother made an invention that could instantly teleport people wherever they wanted, and that was how we ended up outside my house without realizing how we got there. They wanted me to take it to a college and use it to get something, but I don't remember what. And I don't know what happened after that.
Dream Three
All I remember about this one is that my Dad was cooking something for my cousins birthday party. He went to culinary school, so he knows his stuff, but he was making something weird...like chocolate chip cookies cut up with gravy poured over them. And the only other thing I remember about this was a rope tied to a tree used for swinging into a pool.

Back on Track
Last night I had three dreams, but for most of the morning I could only remember two. But, in the shower parts of the first dream came back to me. Also, there is a part of the dream that I'm not sure which dream it belongs to, or if it was an entirely different one. I'm just going to link it together as the beginning of dream two.
***
Dream One
I was in a house, I think it was my girlfriends in the dream. I believe I was house sitting for her. While checking inside, I saw a man on the couch, I guess he was trying to rob the place. I pulled out my airsoft gun, which looks exactly like a real handgun, except for the orange tip, and quickly put it against his head so he would not be able to see that the gun was fake. I searched him and found a real gun, and picked that up and pointed it at him instead. He started saying something, but I don't know what. Eventually, I was lead to some kind of headquarters. Inside, it looked like there was a task force or something. I found out they were actually working on Jadusable's Haunted Majora's Mask story/ARG (if you don't know what this is, I wouldn't be surprised but it is pretty popular on the internet. If you love Majora's Mask and want to get involved in something creepy, start reading up on the arcs here http://jadusable.wikia.com/wiki/Jadusable_Wiki). I learned that they wanted me to become part of the ARG but for some reason, I didn't want to. In my dream, it also seemed that the leader of the group was a girl, and the picture of what BEN was supposed to look like was extremely creepy.
Dream Two
I was at a party or something, and my favorite band was there for some reason, sitting at a table, but I was too nervous to go talk to them. I also spotted my grandmother who was wearing one of my hoodies of the same band. As we were leaving, I asked for it back, but she got angry or something for seemingly no reason.
After that, I was home, sleeping and I was woken up by my friend and my cousin playing playstation in my room. It was about four in the morning, and I was angry that they just showed up. I asked how they got in and if they shut off the alarm, but they just stared at me. My mom was leaving for work and asked me when they got there and I got mad and yelled at them to get out. Outside there was a cop, I guess responding to my alarm going off and I tried to answer the woman through the speaker but I couldn't hear her at all. I let the cop inside and he was talking to me but seemed really suspicious for some reason. At one point when he was talking, he disappeared, but was still talking to us. Then he tried to attack us and I managed to grab him by his invisible leg and swung him around a bit. Eventually we ended up at some restaurant or something, and at the time I was scared of him. But then I realized it was a dream in the dream, but it wasn't really lucid. I didn't have control over myself in the dream but I knew I could beat this guy easily. So I thrashed him around DBZ style for messing with my family.
Dream Three
In this dream, I found myself in a room and my aunt was showing me some anime she found inside a dresser that her husband bought at an auction (which really happened) and was asking me how much it worth to sell. There was an asian guy in the room who left and locked us in the room for some reason. This chick in the room starting panicking and was searching a candle with one of those lights that can pick up blood and pushed it over setting the whole room on fire. There was a lot of people trapped in the room all of a sudden and there was no escape. Accepting our fate, we all began to party. I was dancing in a circle with my girlfriend and somehow I fell through a glass door that led outside to a beach. We were relieved that we weren't going to burn alive. I ran into the water for a second and got taken back by a wave (I hate when this happens in my dreams because waves in my dreams are really scary, like I can never escape them and I usually lose things in them or can't escape them, and I almost drown every time I get hit by one in my dreams) and I kissed my girlfriend as everyone was escaping from the room. After I left I found the guys who locked us in the room and was going to have a nice fight with them, but I woke up.

About Last Night
No real dreams last night. I had a few, but forgot them as soon as I woke up. I slept at my cousins house on the floor, so that's probably why I don't remember much. It was a fun night, despite being in the moment where I was just about to fall asleep, and I heard my cousin scream "OOOOOOOOOOOOOO" from his room, like he had just woken up from a nightmare. Scared the hell out of me at the time, but I was too tired to get up and check on him. However, when I asked about it in the morning, he had no idea what happened. Hopefully I'll have some new dreams for tomorrow.

I Won't See You Tonight
Had two dreams, but seeing as one of them involved...innapropriste things with my girlfriend, I'm just gonna log the other one. iPhone posting again, might need some editing later.
Just some background info. Tonight, I'm going to sleep at my cousins house, which is why this dream involves a sleepover.
***
I was driving in the car with my girlfriend (who randomly changed from my girlfriend to that chick from the Lamborghini dream, so I don't know why she was with me) and we were going to pick up one of my cousins to bring him to my other cousins house for a sleepover. When we arrived at the house he had to get a few things from his room upstairs and for some reason that other girl went with him. I noticed a guy who looked like he was in the mafia guarding the door to the kitchen and I heard someone arguing with my uncle about gambling debts. To get away from that, I decided to go upstairs to check on my cousin, and I found him in bed with that girl. I was speechless, but proud, because she is pretty attractive. I left them alone for a bit and then we were all ready to go. Something was said, and it was stated that out of all my cousins, she was going to pick the cutest one and date them (excluding me, because even in my dreams, I don't cheat on my girlfriend, even though I can't control it). So, we were on our way and as we were leaving I could hear my uncle taking a fierce beating from the mafia guys. I guess they thought we were going to get help or something because they chased after us. Being the action hero that I am, I jumped out of the car, guns blazing, to intercept them making sure my cousin and the girl got away safe. I managed to take down most of them, but one guy got passed me on a motorcycle. There were about three guys left but they stopped shooting at me out of respect since I took down their whole crew. But they took me hostage and brought ne back to my uncles house to ask me about some stuff. They took mento a room where I told them about my uncles son who passed away because of his ex wife, and they sympathized with him saying they were gonna forgive his debts and called off the guy on the motorcycle. It flashed over to him chasing my cousin, but even with the order to stop, he kept chasing. My cousin and the girl escaped into a subway, and the guy chasing them triggered something that made all of these dead bodies surface, and it made a lot of people happy by giving them closure.

Bullet Fragments
I had a lot of dreams last night. Probably about five. But after each one, I would fall right back to sleep and forget it. Two of them I can remember clearly, and the third one I only remember a single piece of, but it's possible it was part of the second.
***
Dream One
I was in some English class in college, and for some reason went to another room. In that other room was my high school Creative Writing teacher, who was AWESOME back when I had him. When I went into the room, everyone said my name, surprised. They had all wondered why I hadn't been in class for so long, and had begun to miss me. I didn't know why I wasn't in class, but maybe it had something to do with the fact that we all graduated? Regardless, I told my girlfriend about it, and we both transferred out of our other English class into the awesome Creative Writing one. Inside, the class was fun and we were talking to people, but I think there was a kid in there I didn't like. I don't remember anything much for a while, but I think my girlfriend was getting close to the teacher or something, and I didn't like it. The teacher kicked another kid out of his class for doing something, and the kid came back and shot up the classroom (I think I need to stop playing Grand Theft Auto IV, because I keep having dreams about shootings). I felt like I was watching this guy shoot for a good ten minutes in my dream, but I was watching from first person. Could it be that it was actually me, in a jealous rage over my girlfriend? I don't really know. The next thing I remember is a wounded teacher laying on the ground, but he was alive, and my girlfriend was helping him out of there. I don't remember anything after that.
Dream Two
I was driving on a highway with my friends in the car. I guess we were just coming from a play they had at the college I used to go to, and were going out to eat to celebrate because I guess some of my other friends were in the play. When we arrived, I was having trouble parking. My brakes wouldn't really work, no matter how hard I pressed on them. The car just kept moving. I kept trying to park, getting angry that my brakes weren't working, and when I eventually found a spot I could park in, some guy cut me off into it. I parked into another spot, and flipped the guy off. When I was inside, I met some of my friends and my dad was in there too. Now, in real life, today I am going to be going to dinner with my dad, so my subconscious projected this into my dream, and my friend said "You're going to eat here, but then you're going to out to eat with your dad right after, so you won't be able to eat anything". I also really hate eating at restaurants, so in my dream having to do this twice in a row made me really pissed off for some reason. My girlfriend was there too, and I was yelling and screaming and cursing, and she got upset as I stormed off. When I went outside, my car was also gone, and I believe it was stolen by the guy I flipped off. Well, actually, in the dream, I KNEW this was going to happen, and it did.
After that, I don't know if this was part of the dream, or a fragment from one of the other dreams I had, but I found myself at the local mall in the store Hot Topic. I had a little rewards card that my girlfriend usually carries, so if this was part of the same dream I think I was there to buy her a gift to make up for what I did. After that though, I saw the characters Dexter and Rita from the forensic/serial killer show Dexter, and they were making out or whatever, and Rita told him about a threesome she wanted with her cousin or something weird. Don't know WHY but...that's what happened. And that's all I remember of any of the fragments.

Stealth Missions and...Monster Ranchers?
Had two more dreams last night. Both of them felt weird in their own ways, but the second one was actually really creepy while I was dreaming it. I felt like their was a satanic ritual or something going on.

Dream One
I was going on a road trip with two friends. The only problem was, I had never seen these two people in my whole life. But my dream created friends for me, so there's nothing I can do about. We were going to visit...someone, might have been my grandmother or grandfather, and the drive was at least three hours long, as this number was repeated a few times. When we arrived, we did something, I have no recollection of what, and I remember playing with or looking at one of my friends collections of Monster Rancher figures. If anyone used to collect these, they were awesome. They came in little yellow plastic containers shaped like Monster Rancher discs, and every pack had a mystery monster. But I digress. The next thing I remember is driving home with one of my friends, talking about something, and then saying "Oh no! We forgot (Friend Two)!". But my other friend decided that since we had already drove three hours from where we had just come, we weren't going back. The dream flashed over to the friend we left behind, but then instead of him being my friend, I was him. So they left me behind. But my friend also left behind his bag of monster rancher toys. I was going through them and put them all in my bag of monster rancher toys in order to bring them back because he loved them a lot. I guess. But then I felt like I wouldn't know which ones were his since I mixed them all up (even though all of his were a see through purple color, and none of mine were) and once I separated them all, I somehow began heading home.
Dream Two
In this dream, I was at my dad's house and there was just a dark feeling about the whole thing. In his crawl space was a tunnel that lead to a room full of women who were kidnapped for the purpose of human trafficking. My dad's house had also been taken over by weird guys in cloaks. I realized I had to get a key that was hidden in my dad's room by one of the cloaked men, and I found a knife with a button on it. When I pushed the button, I became invisible for a certain amount of time. Using this, I stealthily searched around the room, and found the key to the crawlspace. I returned to the room later, uncloaked, to talk to a fortune teller who was inside, and he tried to read my fortune, the room shook and quaked. I then went into another room to talk to a shopkeeper (who was INSANE) and ended up purchasing a bullet proof vest and some other stuff for the mission. With that, I went into the crawl space. Using the cloaking knife, I was sneaking around better than Solid Snake. The knife also doubled as a ballistic knife, like the one in Call of Duty: Black Ops complete with the in-dream message of "Press Square to retrieve knife". I took down a few guards, and would sometimes be flashed over to the bosses of this operation, saying stuff like "We need to find a way to stop him!". I was also flashed over a few times to my crazy grandmother, sitting on a bench, and a lady with a crying baby sitting next to her. Eventually, my aunt showed up to take my grandmother on a train, and she started mouthing off about how she can't stand how people can't shut their kids up. And the lady was nice about it and apologizing, but my grandmother wouldn't hear any of it, and kept mouthing off. I was then flashed over to the boss men again saying that they needed to capture or kill my grandmother and aunt, for the purpose of destroying my mission. And that's all I remember.

Shoot em up!
Two dreams shared a similar theme last night. So, here it goes.
***
Dream One
I was at a school heading for gym class. On the way I found a scared little kid so I was trying to help him find his mom. I eventually found her and she was happy and all that, but I looked at the time and realized I was fifteen minutes late. So I ran to class and my teacher said something like "I'm fed up with you, go to the other gym teacher". So I went, and he was a really mean looking bald guy, who looked like an actual gym teacher I had back in high school. In the class room he was teaching some art class and for some reason he was really really pissed at me. He was saying a lot of stuff to me and picked up an art stool and got ready to swing it at me. I picked up my own and was ready to fight back when he pulled out a pistol, and aimed it at me. Me and another student managed to fight the gun away from him and became school heroes. Not too shabby.
Dream Two
My Ex called me on the phone crying saying that her husband had killed himself after shooting up his school. She was coming to see me for whatever reason so I agreed to pick her up from the airport. When I met her at the airport she looked like one of those no good girls from those mystery movies. Red dress, long hair, the whole deal. I don't remember what happened after that but the next thing I do remember is being in a high speed car chase. It looked like all of the buildings were made of glass, and I remember gunfire. These dames, they ain't no good for ya.

Love, Teachers, and Lamborghinis
I had three fragmented dreams again last night, and high school seemed to be popular for some reason. Well, here we go.
***
Dream One
I guess it was the end of the year in high school, because I ran into an old friend of mine and we were talking as she was burning her text books and spitting on them. In the dream though, she was much more of a...bad person I guess, than in real life. In real life, she is very sweet, but in this dream, she was a spoiled brat. I was talking to her about whatever, and she told me about her new Lamborghini. I asked to see it, and it was pretty awesome looking, so I asked if I could drive it home. For whatever reason, she let me, and I drove it home all excited, even though I live about five minutes away from the school. When I arrived, I fell asleep in my driveway in the car, and then I remember waking up, turning around, and she was just sitting there staring at me. I said something like "sorry, I was so tired, and I forgot you were there" and then I got out of the car and thanked her for letting me test drive her car. I felt like I left something in the car though and was searching for it, but I couldn't find it so she said if she found something of mine, she would bring it back to me. She started to drive away, but I called her phone really quick asking if I left my blanket in the car, and she said "no, I didn't pick you up this morning, so how would your blanket be in my car?" and I said "Sorry, I just had a feeling it was and I didn't want to lose my favorite blanket." She replied with something about having a favorite blanket too and then drove off. I remember going inside with one of my good friends, and talking about something but I don't know what. And that's all I remember.
Dream Two
I remember sitting in a classroom, and knowing what's going to happen in the rest of this dream, I'm going to assume it's high school. We had a substitute teacher in what I would learn later to be Physics class, and the sub was a professor I had in a college history class. The sub was trying to teach, and I remember her actually making more sense than our actual teacher and she was using a slideshow projection to keep it interesting, but the class was way to loud and not paying attention, so she stopped and was talking to us about something else. Next thing I remember, I was at a supermarket with my brother and my mom, and we were walking around when I saw my 12th grade Physics teacher. I said hello to her and so did my brother, even though in reality he had no idea who she was. After that, we were outside and the teacher approached us, and starting talking about how she hated the sub, and was laughing at her because she couldn't do her job right. She asked us something about it and I said that I liked the way she taught because I could understand the subject but she couldn't keep control of the class. The teacher agreed that the class was out of control, but continued to laugh at the sub. After that, I was in the car with my mom and brother, and they actually let me put on one of my CD's, while in reality, they can't stand my music. I put in the CD and most of it was working, but when one track that I really wanted to listen to came on, it was messed up and Lady Gaga started playing instead. After a while, I gave up, and my brother put his music on.
The one thing about that dream that stuck out to me though, is how detailed it was. I remember at the time, looking at my Physics teachers face, and she looked exactly like her, as if she was really there. And at that point, it was like I realized I was dreaming and thought "wow, look at that detail" but wasn't lucid because of it. I also remember the CD being very detailed, but I don't know how accurate it was.
Dream Three
This one s mostly fragments, but I remember something about diamonds being stolen, and I think I was sent to recover them or deliver them or something, and this group of bikers stopped me when I was getting off the exit to my house. The took the diamonds, because I had them for some reason, and told me to do something else, that I can't remember. I remember being at a bar...or a bakery...or a bakery with a bar in it, talking to this female bartender, and she was telling me about how she used to be in love with the biker gang leader, and how for whatever reason they weren't together any more. Something else happened with some game or something involving love, but I don't remember too much about this one.

Normal
Nothing too unusual last night, mostly fragments I can't remember, but I did have one short dream so I have to record it.
***
I was with my girlfriend, her mom, and her sister in a therapy session. Her sister was crying and the therapist was talking to my girlfriend and her mom about something, but I really don't remember what. I was there but not really acknowledged. Eventually the therapist said something like "why don't you comfort her? She's been crying this whole time." and her mom held her and ran her hand through her hair. Then I remember leaving and being in the backseat holding hands with with my girl.
***
Again, nothing really interesting, but I'm going to record everything I remember.

Memory Fragments
Sometimes, dreams are like forgotten memories. You can remember pieces of them, but not much else. I had three dreams last night, but can only remember a few pieces of each. It's also interesting how different each dream was, and the character choices in my dreams are completely bizarre. I don't know why I dream of such random things, but I can't help it. I don't have a choice. Well, not yet anyway.
***
Dream One
All I remember was being trapped inside a bathroom stall, something evil desperately trying to get in. I don't know what happened there. Then I remember being at some weird camp. But it was more like the inside of a school, or a prison. And all the people there were like animals from the game Animal Crossing. But it was a much darker tone. Nothing was happy there.
Dream Two
I only remember one thing, really. Being in my Dad's backyard at a party, and having a friend from my past show up. That's all. I don't remember what she wanted...actually, I think she might of been trying to kiss me but I kept saying no. But I really can't remember.
Dream Three
This is the probably the weirdest, but I remember it the most. I was at a house that my aunt owned in the dream, and she was throwing a party or something. I remember all of my clothes being in bins and being carried to the house, but being left right outside the door. I was walking around the party, and I think there was more that happened, but I can't remember it. The next thing I do remember is walking up to a bedroom with Pauly D from Jersey Shore. I honestly cannot tell you why. When we arrived in the bedroom we found a drunken Situation, and Pauly said he wanted to play a prank on him. I don't know what we were going to do, but I think I suggested shooting him with my airsoft gun. Whatever happened with that, I don't remember, but I was going to get changed into something to sleep in, when I remembered my clothes were all outside the house in bins. I ran outside in my underwear, but it was not one of those dreams where you are embarrassed by being in your underwear in front of a bunch of people, because I really didn't care. But when I got to my bins of clothes, they were all gone. And that's all I remember.
***
At one point in time, I tried to think about why certain people had been in my dreams, but at this point, I think that anyone or anything in your subconscious can be thrown into a dream and given importance. Seeing as these three dreams had completely different subjects and characters, and I had not seen or used anything related to any of them too recently, that's the conclusion I am going to draw.

Tips
I'm going to post some tips here for people who read this and also want to try to have lucid dreams by keeping a journal.
My first suggestion would be that if you wake up in the middle of the night after a dream, and remember the dream in detail, keep notes on it. Once you go back to sleep, it is possible to forget almost everything about the dream you just had. For example, in my apocalypse dream I would write somewhere (I use notepad on my iPhone) "red mutant, dads house, neighbor house, people inside, cold, stone, fortress, television, baby, green, life, trees, cure, new start, God/Devil, mom, blanket, burning". These are key words that trigger my thought pattern and allow me to recall them and go into detail about them. But I only use this if I wake up from a dream and I'm too tired to write up the whole thing. Sometimes, a dream will have you thinking about it for a long time, so you won't really forget it, but this is just in case.
Another thing I would suggest is finding a way to wake yourself up, or using a reality check. People use reality checks when they are really trying to trigger lucid dreams. A reality check is when you constantly do something throughout the day, to the point that it becomes so routine, you even do it in your dreams. The most popular one that I have heard of is looking at a clock and checking the time, looking away, and looking back. In real life, nothing will change. In a dream, if a clock says 2:00 one second, it could say 8:45 another. Sometimes, this will make you realize you are dreaming, and trigger a lucid dream. My "reality check" actually wakes me up...I don't really know how to find a way to wake yourself up. When I was little and in a scary nightmare, I would shut my eyes as tight as I could, and open them. This would wake me from my dream. Sometimes I do this in dreams even when I don't know I am dreaming, and it saves me from some scary stuff. I do this in real life on occasion, when something really good or really bad is happening to me, to make sure I'm not dreaming.
*WARNING*
The next thing I'm going to talk about might plant something in your subconscious, which is very powerful when dreaming. Simply by reading it, even though it might not matter to you now, may surface in a dream, lucid or not. If you don't like being scared, I would suggest avoiding this...but know that there ARE "dangers" to lucid dreaming. Nothing that can harm you, just things that can be REALLY scary.
*READ NO FURTHER UNLESS YOU DON'T MIND THE POSSIBILITY OF BE SCARED*
When I was looking up info about lucid dreams, I came across a post about someone talking about theirs. They said something like "I found myself looking into a mirror, thinking 'man, I sure hope nothing' but it was too late. I had already thought about it". Whatever you think at the time, WILL happen in a lucid dream. When I was a kid, nothing scary EVER happened in a lucid dream, probably because I never thought of the possibility that it could. However, after reading that, I had a lucid dream recently, and the first thing I saw was a mirror. As soon as I looked into the mirror, one of the scariest faces I could ever imagine popped out at me. It scared me so much, it knocked me right out of the dream. I woke up, but fell back to sleep instantly, and was actually right back into a lucid dream. This time, I personally made mirrors appear and thought at them "nothing scary will happen" and nothing did. I did this with a bunch of mirrors to make sure.
Something else that I guess is a possibility is something called sleep paralysis. I know sleep paralysis is a real thing and I have experienced it, but people say that sometimes this happens when you try to have lucid dreams. I've never had it happen as a result of that, and mine was not that scary, but my brother had one that was terrifying. With sleep paralysis, you sort of wake up in the middle of the night, and are wherever you fell asleep. But, no matter how hard you try, you can't move. It is also usually accompanied by what feels like the inability to breath, a sense of panic, and sometimes hallucinations. It is essentially dreaming while awake. And I have never heard a case of a happy sleep paralysis. My brother was away on a trip recently, and had woken in the middle of the night. His friend was laying in bed next to him and he could see him there, but he could not move or speak. He then began to hear a loud noise, like thumping, from the ceiling, and a buzzing sound from the room (which a lot of people state they are hearing). Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a dark shadow of a man standing over his bed, looking at him. He tried to wake his friend, but was unable to. He blinked, and the shadow was gone.
So those are some tips as well as risks. I hope they help anyone trying to have lucid dreams for themselves.

Apocalypse
I had a nightmare last night.
***
Everything seemed normal at first. I was at my father's house, and he lives in a suburb where everyone's lawns are green and perfect. And that's exactly how it felt while I was there. Everything was quiet and peaceful. Then, I saw something. It was running after me, deformed. Mutant is the only word to really describe it. It was similar to a zombie, disfigured and decayed, but the skin was completely red, like that of a burn victim. And it's face was melted. I don't remember if I fought it off, or if I just ran from it, but eventually, I was pounding at my neighbors door. It was a friends house that I used to play with when I would visit my dad on the weekends. I begged for her to let me in the house, and she hesitated. She didn't want to open the door. The house was her fortress, and letting me in would risk letting in the creature. But she couldn't watch me die. So she opened the door. Inside were people I knew. I couldn't tell you who they were if I tried, but I know I knew them. But the world was no longer bright and happy. Inside the house, I felt like we were in a stone cellar. The walls were grey and I felt cold. I remember sitting there with my girlfriend, holding her hand. I had learned that there had been an apocalypse. Those creatures were mutated from it. People we had once knew, but were no longer human. They followed the rules of zombies, I'm sure. Anyone bitten or scratched would slowly become mutated themselves.
I don't know how much time had passed in the dream...but I remember someone being pregnant. I remember looking at a television set, and the baby being on the screen, kind of like a sonogram, but not really. We saw something inside of him. Green. Life. That's the only way to describe it. When the baby was born, one of the survivors in the house tried to kill him. For some reason, he didn't want use to cure the disease plaguing the world. But this was one of those things in dreams that was either unimportant, quickly forgotten, or forgotten once I woke up, because I do not recall what happened with him. The next thing I remember, was being somewhere else. The mutants were so close to us, we had just escaped them. We were inside another stone building, but there were trees growing inside and there were green markings everywhere, glowing bright. The markings had grown like roots from the trees, across the ground, and there were mutant bodies laying on the floor, lifeless. This sanctuary held the key to putting the world back the way it was. It held the cure, and the redemption of mankind.
I don't know how we did it, but I remember us living is simple villages. It was close to medieval times, but without the castles and knights. I remember straw buildings, a campfire, and a peaceful village. It was as if we had all learned a lesson, like we knew not to cause war or fight. But, with everything that had happened so far, I wouldn't consider it to have been a nightmare...if it wasn't for what happened next.
Time had been fast forwarded again. This time, life was back to the way it was before the apocalypse. I was in the kitchen of my current house. Then I remember staring at a TV screen, playing a video game, I believe, the text was similar to a Nintendo 64 Zelda game. And through it...Satan was talking to me? He was saying something evil and creepy, which had scared me in my dream, and then God was talking to me too. (Now, I'm not overly religious, as the context of my dream might suggest, but for some reason this is what happened) After that, I remember running to my basement with my mother, and she told me to get under the blanket. I hid under a comforter, and that's when I began to feel it. I was being burned alive. We all were. After all this time of living in peace, after everything we had went through to save the world from the first apocalypse, it was happening all over again. I don't know why. But I remember feeling trapped, as the heat of the entire world was burning down on me. With nothing to shield me from the flames, except my comforter. Oddly, though, it had been enough. I had survived...again. I'm not sure if I wanted to, but I had.

Introduction
When I was younger, I used to keep a handwritten journal. It was a simple black spiral notebook, with a soccer ball on the cover. I remember the first day I got it, exactly where I was and what I was doing. Some days, I would carry the journal around with me, and just write down my day as it happened. Even now, I still have it in my dresser draw, all filled up with memories, and it's wonderful to go through it every now and then, seeing the thoughts that went through my head as a child.
But in this journal, I would also keep track of my dreams. My journal entries would usually begin with something like "I had this dream last night" and then go on to describe it in full detail. And the rest of the entry would be about my day. I would also often have lucid dreams, which are much more popular these days. If you do not know what a lucid dream is, it is a dream that you have complete control over because you are aware you are dreaming. Recently, this has become more popular with the release of the film Inception, but lucid dreams are a bit different from that. A few months back, I was talking to my friend about lucid dreams, talking about how I used to have them a lot as a kid, but hadn't had them in a very long time. It got me wondering why I hadn't had them any more, so I decided to research what causes them. It was then that I learned that keeping a journal of your dreams can help to trigger lucid dreams. Especially if you read over them. By thinking about dreams a lot, you will eventually begin to realize when you are dreaming...possibly. There are various other tricks to trigger lucid dreaming, but this is the one that had worked for me.
So, this blog will be used to keep track of my dreams. I'm not doing this because I want to have lucid dreams, really, but actually because I want to remember the crazy dreams I already have. Even the nightmares. And if I start to have lucid dreams again (I did have one recently) then I know that keeping a journal is what triggers them for me. I don't know who will really care to read about this blog, but I know back in high school, in a certain class I had a group of friends, and we would usually have group work every class. On occasion, I would tell them about a weird dream I had the night before. One of my friends would always tell me I should write a book about all the crazy stuff I dream. I don't think anyone would really want to pay money to read someone else's dreams, especially when they can just create dreams of their own. But I do love sharing stories. So hopefully, someone will listen.
