Lucid Failure

Alright, kind of weird as usual. I'm just gonna jump right into it.

***
In this dream, I don't remember exactly how it started but I ended up watching Jim Carrey in my dads backyard trying to kill someone. It was like a video game though because I had done all these tasks before hand and saved my game up to this point. I had to stop Jim Carrey from killing whoever he was trying to to kill so I had to lay traps out for him to trip over and get tied up in. I failed a few times and eventually I beat it and tried to get a few endings or something. After that, I ended up in the front yard of the house. I realized I still had my save files, but I was no longer playing whatever game that was. I was now in real life but I could restart if I did something wrong. The thought passed through my head that I was dreaming so I needed to someone to figure out if I was. I looked up and started a small fire and realized I was dreaming at that point. One of my little cousins caught fire from the fire I had started and my other little cousin grabbed him and rolled around until the fire was put out. After that, I was trying to manipulate other stuff, but it was very hard for some reason. The dream world looked very very realistic though. I saw all of the colors of the world, I saw little bugs flying around and landing on me. I felt like my eyes were actually open. It was weird. After that, I saw these girls come out of my neighbors house and I was trying to control everything, but I was failing pretty bad. I think I woke up a few times and then fell back to sleep and resumed the dream at my "save point". After that though it was pretty messy and I couldn't really see things clearly like before. Oh well.

Rain on a Wedding Day

Alright, I only remember bits of pieces of this dream but just a bit of back story, my cousins grandma can be a little...mean sometimes. But in this dream she was kind of combined with my great uncle and his wife. I'm not sure how my cousins grandma actually feels about homosexuals but I know one of her sons is gay and they still love him. My great uncle and aunt though are very religious so I don't know how they feel about it. But in this dream they were all projected into one person, simply because of the setting of the dream.

***
In my dream, my cousin was going to be married and we were setting up for his wedding. I remember walking around his huge house and looking at some stuff, but I don't remember too much else about what was going on. The next thing I do remember was sitting at a table with his Grandmother. She was playing a song on the radio and told my brother to pay very close attention to it. The song said something about God hating gay people and my brother is homosexual. He sat their quietly, not saying anything (which is the opposite of what he would do) and she was talking down to him a lot, until I stood up and cursed my head off at her. I don't think I ever yelled at anyone that much before. Of course this was only a dream, but I was still yelling like an insane person. I don't even know what I was saying, but her and her friends were so insulted they said they were leaving and skipping out on the wedding. My uncle got furious and said he had to call off the wedding because she wasn't going to be there but I was glad she was gone. After that, I saw my cousin and told him what happened and said I was sorry but I wasn't going to let anyone talk to my brother like that. He wasn't too upset about it and we told him we had to leave. While we were leaving, it started raining, and we got in our car and went home. Me and my brother were talking about something, but I don't know what, other than what just happened.

Work and Play

I had two dream last night.

***
Dream One
I was in some sort of theater group or something. I think it was like a camp where a bunch of kids were sent away. I have never been in any type of singing or acting class before so I was terrible compared to the other kids and wasn't given any kind of good part. Eventually, some woman came from whatever company sent funds to the theater group and wanted to shut the group down for some reason. She was asking some people questions in private but completely ignored others. We were all sitting in front of the stage when she was going to make the announcement we were shut down and some people started saying she wasn't fair because she didn't even talk to all of us. She ignored that fact that some of us were even there. I stood up and started talking about what the group had done for me. I told her how amazing it had been and that I had never even been on a stage before but this place made me feel really good. Some other people started get up and talking to try and convince her and then we all ran up on stage to do the latest play we had created. I normally had a very minor part, but I think this time they let me take some other parts because it was just for fun. I think at one point I was singing something and after that me and this other guy were two comic relief characters who were using their silly talking to distract this one character who was trying to have the main character hanged. While we were distracting them, a bunch of characters in gold armor came in to start a battle with the bad guys. We jumped in to try and help fight, but were swiftly knocked away. They let me get into a suit of the gold armor and help out in the fight, which we were actually playing out. It was kind of like a game where if one member of the other team got hit, they were dead, and there was no definite winner so anything went. At the end it was me and two other guys left and I was parrying them with my sword and blocking with my shield until I sliced both of them at once with one lucky shot. After the play we all went back to our dressing rooms and I felt pretty good about about myself and was smiling at all the girls. We were all changing out of our costumes and I guess we were saying goodbye until next time.

Dream Two
For some reason, my mom owned a 7-Eleven in this dream. I was working there and she was training me to use the cash register and I had a pretty big line in front of me. I rang up the first customer I had and his total came to like $16.40 or something like that and he gave me $20 and left. I didn't know what to do with the change since he didn't want it and I was also really confusing myself because for some reason I had my wallet out and was trying to put money into it. I accidentally put the money the man just gave me into my wallet and continued to try and help the other customers. No matter what happened though, there was always something I was calling my mother over to help with me. Later that night, I had remember that I accidentally put the money into my wallet so I went back to return it. I walked in and there were a bunch of people there and as soon as I started touching the cash register they started yelling that I was stealing and that they were going to call the cops. I put the money back and asked one of the people there if I was allowed to work another shift now, but they said I couldn't. The cops showed up because someone reported me stealing and I tried to explain but the background of my dream shifted from the store to a police questioning room. I ended up telling them everything and I think they let me go.
***

Portal to the Afterlife

Alright, I don't know what happened, it could have been because blogger went down and removed some posts or it could have been because I submitted this post wrong from my phone, but this long post I had got erased. So, in order to keep my dream logs accurate, I have to repost it. It was funny because I originally thought I was going to be making a short post about the portal dream, but that dream reminded me about the second dream I had. Then after writing and posting the second dream I put down my phone, looked out the window, and something reminded me of the third. When I finished that, I remembered the fourth and was at the supermarket by that time and was too busy to write it in. So, here we go at attempting this again, and hopefully this time it stays.

***
Dream One
For a while I had been debating on whether or not to buy Portal 2. When I think about wanting something, sometimes I dream about it. In this dream, I was playing Portal 2 co-op with my brother. I remember us being in space and jumping around pretty much just playing with the portal guns and having fun with them. Eventually, a huge bear monster was about to be released so I shot a portal that he would fall through and then land somewhere else. It worked and he took some damage, but then he came at us again so we had to finish him off. I know there was a lot more to this dream, but that is all I remember clearly about it.

Dream Two
After having that dream, I ended up at the mall that day and I decided it was time to buy Portal 2. That night, I had a dream that found me in the same mall. In this dream, I started out in a classroom where this woman said it was Spanish class. For some reason, everyone in the class got really angry. I know I was angry because I had already taken Italian as a foreign language, but in reality I wouldn't mind learning Spanish since my girlfriend speaks it fluently. I asked my friend if we really needed to be in this class and he told me we didn't so we got up and left. Outside of the classroom was actually the mall. Me and my friend met up with some of our other friends and we were having a good time hanging around the mall. Eventually, this group of kids showed up and the "leader" of the group was a big hulk of a man-woman. I couldn't really tell what it was, but I'm going to call it a man. Eventually, he started picking on one of my friends about something and so I stepped in and told him to back off. Not being able to understand reason, the creature took a swing at my face. I'm pretty sure it hit me so I grabbed him and threw him across the mall. After beating him up for a while me and my friends went back to enjoying ourselves at the mall.

Dream Three
This dream was incredibly creepy at the time. In the dream I believe I was having a sleepover with my cousins or something at my dads house. My cousins all fell asleep in the guest room, so I went into my dads room to sleep on the floor. I walked in and saw my brother already asleep on the floor and I saw that the computer was on. I went over to it and saw a whole bunch of porn on it so I shut it off, but for some reason it jumped over to my phone and I couldn't get it off. After a while I ignored it and realized I had to use the bathroom. I left the room and walked towards the bathroom when I heard what sounded like my grandfather laughing with this woman he had recently broken up with. Since I thought they were no longer together I went downstairs to check if she was there. I walked downstairs and saw that the only thing down there was my grandfather asleep on the couch. I was wondering what I heard and was looking around but found nothing. I think I might have gone outside and looked around too, but found nothing. When I returned to the stairs, I saw my grandfathers dog laying dead on the steps. This was creepy because the dog had actually died a few days ago. I stepped over him and went back into the bathroom. After using it, I was washing my hands at the sink and looked up into the mirror. I felt a really weird presence there and then my face started looking very evil in the mirror. I said the words "Grandma?" aloud, I guess thinking it was the spirit of my grandmother who died in that house a while back. After saying that, I was flung up into the air by something and hung upside down. I was screaming for help but my voice was very raspy and faint. I continued to scream until my dad busted into the bathroom and got me down. That's all I remember from that dream.

Dream Four
In this dream I don't remember too much. I remember being in a hotel room in Las Vegas with a bunch of my cousins and some of my friends. I think one of my aunts was there too. We were sitting around a TV watching The Room  for a while, and then I think I was looking for something else to put on TV because everyone else had fallen asleep and I was getting tired myself. I couldn't find anything good and then I think I said aloud something like "Wait! We're in Vegas!" and then some of my cousins were awake and we were outside of the room ready to go downstairs. Some of my younger cousins were running around the hotel floor before we went down into the lobby which looked pretty awesome. But then I woke up.

Deadly Sharks and Deadly Dads

So my mom and brother burned out the charger on my laptop after they burned out the charger on theirs leaving me without a computer, which makes it semi-difficult to post my dreams among other things. But I'm going to try my best. I have two dreams from two different nights, but I'm going to post them in one post since they are relatively short.

Also, I noticed my last three dreams all involved song titles, which I thought was interesting. I probably could have kept the theme going but I try to go with titles that feel natural, even when they suck, and I didn't want to force it. I thought it was really cool though haha.

***
Dream One
I was watching some kind of live show with my girlfriend and some others in the audience. Two of the main characters were joke arguing about something around a shark tank that was part of the show. They cut their backs open and jumped in and said whoever was eaten first would lose the argument. I think this was actually part of the show and therefor no one was actually going to die. However, me and some other members found ourselves a little too close for comfort because we were sitting on a step leading into the shark tank and there were sharks swimming by our feet. A bunch of us panicked and got up and began to run and jump away from the tank but when I tried to do that, I fell in. At this point, I was sinking in the water and feeling nothing but absolute fear. I don't even think I can describe the amount of terror I felt in the dream. I attempted to swim up but eventually felt so terrified that I passed out under water and began to sink even deeper into the tank, sharks swimming right beside me, circling me. I'm also terrified of fish being near me in the water so this was terrible. Eventually, I was out of the tank, though I don't remember how, and found myself in some kind of sewer labyrinth. An evil old looking wizard told me if I got through I would be able to find my girlfriend. I eventually got through all of the obstacles but when I reached her at the end, the wizard trapped me somewhere else and said it was up to her to save me. But that's her story, not mine, so I woke up.

Dream Two
I was at my girlfriends house and was wrapped up in blanket in just a pair of underwear. My girlfriend was sitting on the same couch as me, fully clothed, and some other girl was sitting on a couch across from us. We were all watching something on TV when I thought I heard a car door outside. I told my girlfriend I should get dressed incase her parents came home and got the wrong idea. I stood up and dropped the blanket and at that exact moment, her dad walked in the front door. He started exploding with anger as I tried to explain myself, but he wouldn't hear it. Eventually, after I think what was a long car chase and attempted escape, I sat down with him and explained to him that I was very much in love with his daughter and planned to marry her someday and that even though nothing happened between us, I cared about her very much. I don't think he cared too much though.

Bad Romance

Alright, I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say that I had this dream because I fell asleep with HBO on right after hearing a commercial about Lady Gaga's tour at Madison Square Garden. It was really weird so forgive me if I describe it and it's hard to follow.

***
I was at what was supposed to be my great grandfather's house, who lives in Florida, but in this dream he did not. In the house was much of my family and I was on my laptop doing something. I got up and went into the kitchen and when I got back, something had caused a fire. I saw my two little cousins sitting on the couch playing with their Nintendo DS systems. I rushed and yelled at them to get up and leave the house, quickly evacuating everyone I could and me and some other of my aunts were looking for a fire extinguisher, but my grandfather said there wasn't one in the house. I grabbed my computer and left some of my other stuff in the house to burn. The fire was moving very oddly though, it wasn't spreading like a real fire would. More like a Minecraft fire. Square to square, except very slowly. Outside of the house, I guess we were waiting for the firetrucks to come. We were standing on some train tracks and avoiding trains as they passed us by. I tried to keep my cousins away from the trains, and I wasn't sure why we were on the train tracks, especially since they were so busy. I found my brother and he said he wanted to go into the city, so we left everyone else and headed for the city. I was either flying at this point or I was jumping from building to building, but eventually I heard some woman announce on a radio that I guess I was listening to that Lady Gaga was playing right now at Madison Square Garden (I'm going to assume it was another commercial playing at that point and the voice was actually projected into my dream). The woman also said that she was spotted in the back of an alley nearby getting ready for the show. I told my brother to meet me there over the phone, since we had split up or something, and I saw Lady Gaga in an alley, just like the woman on the radio said. She saw me and told me to come down (since I was still on top of the building) and I climbed down a fire escape. She said that I was going to help her out with her show and I would be allowed to go backstage with her and be on stage with her and I agreed that I would and thought it was pretty cool.

Things are going to start getting increasingly more weird from this point on. I don't know what happened at that point, then she said she wanted to kiss me, or I asked her, but I really don't remember how it came up. I told her that I had a girlfriend though and I didn't want to cheat on her. She said something like "I'm sure she wouldn't mind" and I said "Yeah, you're right" so I gave her a quick peck, but then she shoved her tongue in my mouth and I pulled away. She said "That's how Gaga kisses baby!" and then continued to kiss me. Eventually we stopped and I don't know really know what happened, but I think she was upset we couldn't be together. I asked if I could have her phone number or something because I thought it would be really awesome to be her friend and I would love to keep in contact with her. She gave it to me and I guess she went on to do her show.

I don't know what happened exactly at that point, but I believe I was following the rest of this story watching a young blonde woman. This blonde girl had information that the mayor of whatever city (I don't know where the hell this was, because it sure wasn't New York, it was almost like England because I think there was a queen there) was having an affair with Lady Gaga and she wanted to get the story out. I believe that the mayor was married to the queen, which doesn't make much sense, but that's how it was. I only remember little fragments of this, but I think the blonde girl was getting into some magical fights inside a library and eventually ended up at a tower where she tried to talk to the queen. The queen said she knew about the Gaga affair and that she was trying to keep the whole thing quiet. It was then revealed that Gaga was with the queen and the queen didn't mind...or something. But the queen did care about the story getting out, so she trapped the blonde girl in some magical bubble that made her float towards the ceiling. After that, I think an agreement was reached and everyone was friends.

And during all of this, Gaga wanted to be with me (I know, dream me is such a stud) but this romance could never be. I felt connected to her, but loved my girlfriend too much to leave her. Sorry Gaga.
***

I asked my girlfriend if she would care if I made out with Lady Gaga, and she said she wouldn't. So, good for me...I honestly don't know why I dreamed about making out with Lady Gaga, but hey, none of my dreams make much sense. Guess we'll see what I dream about tonight...

Sweet Dreams Are Made of This

Had some crazy dreams, felt cool at the moment but was also kind of scary feeling at the same time. It also felt incredibly real. 

***
Dream One
I was inside some kind of video game or something, where I would spawn inside of an egg and have to push my way out. Once I popped out, I was fighting some monster or something, who was way too strong for me, but I kept attack him without thinking and kept respawning back in the egg. Each time I died though, I would have to wait for a timer to reset before I could break out of the egg. The last time I was in the egg, I started to realize how closed in I felt and I really wanted to break out of it. I didn't want to stay inside of that egg an longer but the timer to respawn felt like it was taking forever and I was started to get claustrophobic and panicking. I saw an "abort game" button and I pushed it, and it let me crawl out of the egg back into reality. Out in reality were some of my friends (even though they were just dream friends, not people I have ever met before) on they congratulated me on getting some treasure, which they showed me. I think they split it up between us and I went on my way. The next part is very fuzzy, but I ended up at a party or something. My dad was there and pretty drunk and was hanging out with his girlfriend. I went upstairs and there was an orgy or something going on (I don't really remember this part of the dream but I'm going off the notes I wrote down after waking up) I was trying to protect my girlfriend from creepy guys who were trying to get to her and someone touched her and she disappeared. People start to leave the party and I start saying goodbye to people I know like I usually do when I leave a party and I went to hug this creepy little kid goodbye, but he wouldn't say goodbye to me because he seemed afraid of me. I remember this kid being very scary looking. He was small and was missing both of his eyes, but had bandages over them. It was like he was actually dead. Everything started to rewind and I find myself at the beginning of the party, much earlier than when I had originally arrived. I saw my girlfriend at the top of some stairs and I realized I had to find her. I think this time things will be different and she will come with me. But I also think she may think I'm creepy because she has only met me once before this (I guess in the dream, the party was the second time I ever talked to her) and she hasn't fallen in love with me yet. I realize we are at a brothel and she is a pure girl that everyone wants. There is also something else going on, and the dream shows me her sitting in a hidden room surrounded by mirrors about to be beat by the female owner of the brothel. I also see my girlfriend start to sing "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" except it sounds more like the version from Sucker Punch and the dream fades out while I hear her singing. 

Dream Two 
I remember that there had been an apocalypse and I woke up in a room that was completely white. The ground was white and the walls were white and there was nothing in the room except for a few people. There was also some weird fuzzy monster thing in the room who I asked to kill me because I didn't want to live in this world anymore. Even though they were never seen, there were also terrible monsters lurking outside of the house we were in. The fuzzy monster put his hands over my mouth and nose and tried to suffocate me, but I was unable to die from that. I guess I left the white room, because the next thing I remember, I was in my cousins house. They had all survived as well and we had candles lit, even though there was a backup generator ready to give us electricity in an emergency. Outside I saw a huge amusement park that looked absolutely beautiful, even in the destroyed world. The lights from the park were enough to illuminate the entire house but I knew it would be attracting the monsters out there as well. I decided I didn't care much, since I wanted to die anyway, and I wasn't afraid of anything. I walked into an office that my uncle was in and he had some lights on. I don't know what he was doing, it looked like paperwork, but I don't know why he would be doing that. The office looked really awesome though. After that, I was hating that I was in this world, but I started to think about dreams. I was wondering if I was in a dream and thought of a trick that someone once told me about clocks. He told me to look at a clock, check the time, look away, and then check it again. If the time has changed or is weird then you will know you are dreaming. I did this, and the time on the clock read normal at first, but then it read something like "7-8" which I knew was wrong and everything around me changed. I realized I was dreaming, but I kind of "woke up" inside of the dream. I was able to control certain things but not the entire dream. At one point, I was on my computer and members of my family were trying to stop me from using it and insulting me, but I pointed my hand at them and said "freeze" and they were completely petrified, leaving me free to do whatever I wanted. Eventually, I woke up.
***

The Lucid Dreams are getting easier and easier to control, and the more I write and think about dreams each day, the more likely it is for me to realize when I am dreaming. I'd have to say my little experiment is a success, but of course I'm going to keep recording to see what happens. 

Here's the video of the song I heard in my dream, just thought it was very fitting.

The Little Things Give You Away

I had a dream a little while ago. It was one of those dreams you can't stop thinking about, even though it wasn't too crazy until the end. It was like one of those movies you see, where it's all you can think about for a while. It may not seem that way in the description, but it was so full of emotion. 

***
Something happened where I was back at high school. I don't know why, but I was getting on the bus for a few mornings in a row, even though I can drive. One of the mornings though, I missed the bus, and me and my brother drove to school together. I had a few classes, but ended up at a freshman assembly. The teacher for the class I was supposed to be at said this was an assembly for freshman who were late to class, but I was not a freshman. She was my health teacher from back then, so I headed up to my health classroom. I don't really remember what happened here though. I do remember seeing my girlfriend at some point during the day though. Eventually, the bus dropped me off and I saw my actual bus driver. She turned the bus around in a way she never did before and when I got off, I said "thank you" like I always did. I always thought bus drivers needed some appreciation. I was walking back to my house, but I can't remember what happened after that.

The next thing I remember, I was touring the college I was going to be attending. I met up with some people who were going to be my room mates, and I could hear someone explaining the way rooming worked, saying that there will be one television in each room, constantly playing Alice in Wonderland. Then it spat out some fact about how many times the movie had been played since it had first started doing this. My room mates seemed pretty cool, but they were really hard party types. I didn't mind it, and had some fun hanging out there. I don't know why, but we were staying at the college for a little while, and my mom and brother were in a room next to ours. It seemed like time had passed and I had known these guys for a while. My mom walked into my room and saw the other guys smoking weed. Before she came into the room, they blew some into my face and I started getting "high" but in reality all I felt was what it felt like to be buzzed off alcohol. She asked me questions about if I was smoking and I told her I wasn't. She went back into her room with my brother and as soon as she left me and the other guys started laughing uncontrollably. We were having a really great time.

After that, we were at some kind of assembly that the guys in my room were putting on. It was kind of like a show and these guys were really famous and they let me go on with them. I don't remember much about what they were actually saying, but I know it was absolutely hilarious, yet very dirty. My mom was in the crowd and wasn't very pleased. They were each telling stories about when they were drunk and stuff they had done, and one of them would leave and come back in a trench coat with a thong and make some funny jokes and I was laughing the whole time. Then my brother said something about me never drinking and the first time I drank was legally and I got drunk off one drink and they started making fun of me. I didn't want to correct them because I didn't want my mom in the audience to get mad at me, but I ended up doing it anyway. I don't know why I was so concerned with my mom, the only purpose in this dream she seemed to serve was being wherever I was, making me feel ashamed of things I was doing, which is the complete opposite of how she really is. During the show, the guys kept calling for this girl, Ashley, to come up on stage with them. Eventually, towards the end of the show, she was getting ready to come on stage, but right before that my girlfriend came up to me and said she had to leave a little early and I told her I would be right behind her. I said goodbye to my new friends as Ashley came on the stage and they started doing something dirty with her, but I don't really know what. I just know she was naked. I left to follow my girlfriend and my mom was pretty pissed about the show, but I didn't care much.

I was trying to find my girlfriend but since she went ahead, I couldn't catch up with her and she left without me. I found my mom and she had all my stuff with her already and we started walking down some stairs. She almost left her car keys in a door, but I grabbed them for her and when I saw another set of keys and asked if they were hers, some man passed by and said "No, your mom just want's all the keys in the world" which made no sense at all, so I looked at him weird and followed her down the stairs, with my brother trailing behind. We got into her car and began driving. I turned on the radio and heard the song that had been my girlfriends favorite before I met her. It was "I'll Be" except it was being sung by Corey Taylor (the lead singer of Slipknot) with his other band, Stone Sour. I tried to use the app on my phone to tell me what the song was, even though I knew it, but it wasn't working and as I was playing around with the volume of the radio, it kept getting messed up. When the song was over, I tried to call my girlfriend, but I couldn't get an answer. Eventually, I knew something was wrong and I believe I called the police and freak out as I report her missing. It flashes forward a bit to the police finding her car sunk in a flood, but she was taken before the car had sunk. 

At this point, I remember staring at the car, the door open and the car seat empty. I start hearing a song playing, titled "The Little Things Give You Away" by Linkin Park and I start seeing a lot of flashes of things that I can't grasp, but I believe the dream fast forwarded. The last thing I do remember, is holding my girlfriends hand, water surrounding us, and the biggest tidal wave I have ever seen about to crash down on us. I remember the water being a crystal clear blue unlike anything I had ever seen in my life. We were holding hands and staring into it as it towered over us, before it eventually crashed down on us.
