Lucid Tattoo

Notes: I had an excessive number of dreams last night, and amazingly remember them all. I'm going to say alcohol helped induce these.

Foods Eaten: Can't remember what I had for dinner, but I had a snack of Jalapeno chips and a good number of rum and cokes...

Dream Location: My bedroom.

The Dream:
I was laying on my bed in my room, though my bed wasn't in it's usual spot. TJ was in the room with me, standing near my door. He took off his shirt, then announced he'd be back in a second, presumably going to use the bathroom. As he turned to walk out the door, I saw his bare back, and noticed he had a tattoo on his right shoulder blade. It was very fine-artsy, inked in all black. It was a lighthouse with a landscape drawn in front, and to the right, was just a black box... like a small house for the lighthouse keeper or something. Examining the tattoo, it looked brand new, the skin around it red with irritation. I was puzzled, trying to figure out when and where TJ had gotten this, seemingly new tattoo. He returned to the room a moment later while I was still puzzling. He turned his back on me again to shut the door, and the tattoo had changed. It was now just a pattern of lines running parallel to each other, straight down, rounded corners, running horizontally and vertically (I remember the pattern so well, I could draw it on paper).

Suddenly, I came to the realization that TJ has no tattoos and that I must be dreaming...!
I "awoke" to find myself laying in bed (now in its usual spot) with my sister. There was a laptop in front of me, and I proceeded to tell her about how I had just gone lucid in my dream (I find it interesting that in the majority of my false awakening dreams, this is the first action I take). However, as soon as I finished that statement...

I came to the realization that if I was actually awake, it would be TJ in my bed, not my sister...!
I "awoke" in my bed again, this time next to TJ. I proceeded to tell him my dream and go back to sleep.

I don't think I ever actually woke up from this dream, but that last bout of lucidity was so realistic that I didn't process it was another dream until I was truly awake.

Running Away with Chevelle

Notes: I woke up and remembered this, but I feel like I knew more about what was happening while I was in the dream. Foods Eaten: Salad, Macaroni and Cheese Dream Location: Parking Lot The Dream: I was inside of a tall building, it was all white, with a few glass windows. There was a glass elevator. The floors of the building were spiral shaped, there weren't actual stairs anywhere... it just gradually went up. I was running up the spiral building, and looking across from me I could see the members of the band, Chevelle, following me. We were all running away from something, but I don't know what. I found a door that led outside into a parking lot. The lead singer of Chevelle, Pete Loeffler, pointed at the band van and told me to run for it. We all ran across the parking lot and jumped into the back of their van... I heard loud noises, like explosions, but I don't remember seeing them.

From School to Blood

Notes: I'm going to guess this was my pre-Halloween dream... Foods Eaten: Chicken Fajitas Dream Location: No where in particular The Dream: I was back in high school... but it didn't look remotely close to my high school. It was the first day back, I was carrying around a schedule with my classes written on it. I think I was sitting in an Earth Science class... looking at my schedule, my next class was with a teacher named Mr. Davis (this was actually a gym teacher I had in middle school) . When the science class ended, I didn't want to go to Mr. Davis' class because I thought it would be boring. A few other kids with the same class had the same opinion, so we all just stood around the science room trying to decide whether to go to the next class or not. Finally, the Earth Science teacher came up to us and we asked him if he knew what the next class was called. The Earth Science teacher said, "Verizon." We wondered what on earth a class called "Ve...

Mushrooms to Restore Sanity

Notes: This dream was pretty funny. I was carpooling with 5 other people up to DC to go to Jon Stewart/Steven Colbert's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. We left at around 4:00 am, so I was dead tired... fell asleep on the way up. Foods Eaten: Muffin Dream Location: Inside a car The Dream: I was laying on my boyfriend's lap, in the backseat of a large car. Mike and Craig were in front of me, Alex was driving and Casey was in the front passenger seat. (This is actually how we were all sitting in the car, too). I had just woken up from a nap, and was thirsty. Casey passed a glass of grape juice to Mike, who then poured a bag of Shrooms into the glass (this happened without my noticing in the dream, even though I saw it happen. Hard to explain?). Mike passed the glass of juice back to me, which I quickly drank all of. I started drifting back to sleep, but suddenly started feeling very strange. I quickly recognized the feeling as the body high of mushrooms. I sat straigh...
