04.06.07

One or maybe two dreams, I couldn't remember it when I woke up but it came back to me while taking one of my many breaks from housework.

I was at a place where they have loads of little stores like a mall or airport, maybe an indoor flea market. The first store that came into view was a mundane, white walled store with bamboo shutters at the entrance, shelves of mundane things, and a white sign on the middle wall that had the store name on it in green. "No wonder there's no customers," I thought as I watched the shopkeeper in her kimono pace through the aisles.

Moving forward, I found a nice store with something there that I must of liked, I know that the tables/counters were a rich, polished brown, made of wood I think.

Next thing I know, I'm home with my school bag, rushing to my room. I find it extremely odd that my bad was empty once I peered into it in my room that lacked all things that would imply it's a bedroom at all. I found a piece of trash in it, a sliver of my bag, and 'planned' to throw it out since if it were gone, it'd be perfectly clean. Like many of my dream 'plans' it was never carried out, I think I decided that either it wasn't worth my time or I could do it later [I'm veering towards the latter of the two].

Sadly enough, I was so close to being lucid here because I know when I took a good long look into my bag I thought, "Could this be a dream?" Dream logic pounced onto me and said, "Nah, I just emptied it earlier and that's why it's so clean."

I find a toilet in my room and flush it since, grossly enough, there was urine in it. The toilet had to fight with me. It wouldn't flush. So I tried again, this time closing the lid... It worked, but not in anyone would want it to. Water gurgled up and forced the lid to open up. The toilet water attempted to soak me several times, only succeeding once [no urine in it by then, only water, it's still a yucky thought though]. The rest soaked into my carpet.

I screamed for my dad, who came. I explained to him what happened and he said he'd call maintenance later. I asked why couldn't he do it now, he said that they don't work past 4. At that point I was wondering why a toilet was in a carpeted room, let alone my room, but I shrugged it off with an urge to go to the bathroom.

When there, my mom told me to "get closer to Mrs. Johnson."

My response? "You mean L-chan?"

Brows furrow, "No, Mrs. Johnson." [Note- there are no Mrs. Johnson's I no of, I only know of a Ms. Johnson who is L-chan]

She walked off and I headed to the kitchen, which happened to magically be L-chan's kitchen in my house.

Her- "Watch you up to?"
Me- "Nothing much"

We stay there and talk, it ends there with me thinking about how yucky choco pop tarts are.

The other part, the possible second dream; I was sitting on a rubber coated metal bench in Disney World wondering indifferently when Mickey's parade would get over here.

It switched to third POV and I see Mickey Mouse with large round foiled wrapped things of chocolate that reminded me of golden-foiled vanilla wafers.

'Kristine' ran off once it went off into 1st POV and I ran after her. She wasn't the real Kristine I know, just some DC who my mind said she was. When I caught up with her, Mickey Mouse gave me a rectangular shaped one that was wrapped in normal foil. He peeked under the foil for a moment before giving it to me. When he gave it to me, the thing was twice my size in length, before it was only the length of my forearm. I tore off the wrapping to find lots of heavy, huge, 9x6 inch dark choco bars that registered in my head as expensive.

I tottered back to the bench where Kristine was there, sitting on my mom's lap. I could have become lucid then too since I thought "the real Kristine isn't this short," but my mind labeled her in as my little sister. She wore a cue dress that was either a western dress with Asian styled stuff on it [because it sure as hell wasn't paisley though it was a soft turquoise] or a puffy kimono.

Wondering if it's really good to eat all this junk, I sat down with my 'family' [still on Lent though in my dreams my brain never seems to include it]. before I the thought to eat the candy ever crossed my mind, the lovely alarm clock of time telling told me that this was the time to get up.

So, no trees or Easter Bunny, but I did get to see the ever so irksome Mickey Mouse.

I had a very short lucid though the dream overall was really nice... well, if you consider highly realistic and very unusual 'nice' then it definitely was.

Dream- As soon as I entered the dream, I was lucid [though this dream was not a WILD, either a WBTB that required little wake time or a DILD that came my way]. It wasn't too vivid so I shouted, "Lucidity now," and the lucidity went up though I realized I yelled out the wrong thing and focused on my words yelling out, "Vivid increase." It may be really embarrassing but it's my dream and if any DC laughs at me for that, I'd probably yell at them or run off embarrassed [go figure].

There were no trees or Easter bunnies in my dream so I never remembered either one of the dream tasks for this month [otherwise I have a hard time remembering goals I have IRL]. After a few long minutes of staring at the world around me; the road, the wheel in my hands, the fact that I was sitting, I became aware that I was in a go cart... that my friends... is sadly where my 3-4 [extremely] short lucid ends. I realized someone was chasing after me, well, following me, and I drove off like mad.

Why was I avoiding him? I have no clue. I think in that dream the reasons were along the lines of he's a cop. What was it that made my mind think that? That's another one of the many questions I won't get answered [I mean I could next lucid, but it's not worth it]. So, as I was saying, I was on the road, speeding off in my go cart when I got back to the start area of the go cart driving course. Noticing that the guy wasn't there yet, I sprinted off to a fancy hotel.

At the hotel, the bell hop doesn't bug me as I stare at the two rooms I have to choose from, Room 1 and Room 2 [so properly labeled by their name plates]. Both of them I had checked out so it didn't really matter, but I was compelled for Room 2 so I took it. Closing the door behind me, though not locking it, I went off to the giant walk-in closet that included a vanity to talk to a woman no older than her 20s.

She informed me to go swindle someone, I do believe, and I was just about to waltz off to Room 1 to prepare for my next job as the man who was chasing me earlier barged in. In the nick of time, I hide. He asked the woman where I was, she responded with a "no clue." Exasperatedly, he let out a sigh and just stood there for a bit before he left. All the while I found myself chastising myself for blushing from involuntarily checking him out.

I continued to Room 1 and when I opened it, it took me a few long seconds to register what was wrong with the place. Men were there, really gross, slickster and modern day greaser guys, about 6-7. They hissed at me, so my great mind assumed the worst. Vampires. [Maybe this is a result of watching too many vampire shows with my mom when I was eight?]

They locked me in and I tried to defend myself against them. Nothing seemed to work so I poured holy water on them in desperation. Everyone stopped what they were doing. The guy I had doused looked at me, the vase, then his wet white T-shirt before laughing.

His pals joined in with the laughter as I took the opportunity to throw cooking oil on them [Canola oil]. I caught them on fire somehow, I didn't light them on fire with anything or willed it to be, it just happened. They all were burnt to ashes and I was left in a room that, albeit the ashes, looked perfectly fine. The guy from before popped up again and I happened to, before anything else happened, wake up.

Hah, I finally get a chance to do a WBTB and it breaks my dry spell! I had three dreams, the first two forgotten because I didn't bring my dream journal with me, I remembered it the ten minutes I was up but that was it...

Dream-
I was in a cave again, but not alone. I, along with six other 'amateurs,' to be evaluated by eight 'upper class men.' What'd they do? Use magic to fight us, I don't know what they called it or if it was magic or what-er-not but it used the elements in pseudo-scientific ways. I became lucid while continually, and narrowly, dodging attacks that mainly where focused on me from two guys.

I tried to use magic to fight back, but this was a low control lucid, for no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't use it at my usual level. I tried a bit too hard trying to make my gale stronger and the dream faded, so I quickly focused on the first thought that came to mind [oddly enough, it was pokemon... stupid nephew] and reminded myself that I was dreaming.

I found myself at a nurse's house with one of the pink pokemon, not the one with the egg, who was talking to me. I suggested that, since it sucked at elements, to learn some basic healing magic as I flipped through one of it's charm books, thinking about what'd it'd be like to re-enter my previous dream scene.

While trying to read the charm out loud for the thing to memorize, I thought to myself rather firmly that after I'm done saying this chant, I'll end up back in that cave.

It worked! I had little time to celebrate as one of the DCs tossed a job upon me to go fight some ice elemental demon that lived to the right of this tunnel in it's underground mansion. I tried to decline and toss it on one of the upper class men, forgetting that I had absolute control over this dream, so they ended up sticking it on me anyways. One of the 'teachers' said to me something about how they know that I'm strong or something or another.

I guided sixteen or so people to the mansion full of iced walls. At the stair case, lucky me has to free two of the girls who get stuck on some forever melting/re-freezing ice blocks. I try to make them float onto safe land, but the weight of them and the sections of floor make it too heavy and they end up falling into oblivion... Well, one does, the other I managed to telelport back to us in time. I think the other girl just ended up a prisoner or died... [well I didn't think of her dying but it was a long drop]

We continue up the stairs where we branch off to make this a quick job. I screw up and run back to the beginning area of the dream where I reset time so that I'm re-energized, that one girl's back, and I know where I should start putting up my guard.

The girls get stuck again so this time I just teleport them to my side. We went back upstairs and I fought a load of ghost/demons while the others went off to clean out the place while searching for some chains needed to get rid of the owner of the mansion. I learned, rather comically, that in the dreamworld I need to work on my fire abilities more, I tried to fry a ghost and all that came out was a white flame small than ones found on candles. I ended up freezing him with liquid nitrogen I summoned and blowing him to bits with a tornado...

So yeah, in a nutshell, that was my dream, hopefully this lucid means many more to come.
