Scenes from my Dreams

Notes: Went to a CKY concert last night, had someone creepily staring at me through the car window for nearly an hour afterward. Got home at 3 AM. I dunno if any of these things actually connected to the dream, but this is the only journal I've kept semi-consistently in life, so it seemed worth noting. Foods Eaten: Salad The Dream: (I'm certain there was more before where my memory kicks in.)  ...Looking around, I was in a large hallway with white tile floor and white brick walls. The kind of hall you see for concession stands in an arena. There was a girl on the floor with one of those plastic containers you use to hold paint in when you're using a roller... except hers was filled with water. And a lobster. I recall thinking that was an odd choice for a pet, but when I got closer and was watching it move around, I could see how it could be kind of cute. I walked away, probably made a circle around the presumed arena. I may have even gone into a seat, it felt like I ha...

Notes: Again... in a cereal coma. Foods Eaten: Cereal The Dream: I had just woken up, abruptly, from a dream. I had to use the bathroom, so I got out of bed, but I was so groggy I immediately fell to the floor. I was trying to shake the sleep state off, but I couldn't get my eyes to open more than a squint. All I could see was the bathroom walls, as I sat on the bedroom floor. I was in a semi-panicked state, trying to figure out what was wrong with me and simultaneously trying to recall what I had been dreaming about. It suddenly clicked... "This is a dream!" Everything went white around me. I took a deep breath and tried to stabilize the dreamstate, looking where the bathroom walls had been. I wanted them to come back so I could continue onward in the dream, but it wasn't happening. While I was in the lucid state, it turned more like semi-lucid. I became aware of my actual body and sounds around me, the dream state seemed confused. I was wondering if my actual...

Notes: Is it possible to be allergic to cereal? I get EXTREMELY tired after eating it in the morning, when I was otherwise fine. Had to go take a nap and I was only awake for an hour! Foods Eaten: Cereal The Dream: I was at Trevor's work building, in the cafeteria area. One of the employees gave me a little white wicker basket wrapped in plastic and full of stuff, as if it was a welcoming gift. A small, clear jar of a thick liquid that looked kind of like cotton candy caught my eye and I pulled it from the basket. I turned it upside down, watching how the liquid moved, trying to figure out what it was. It almost looked edible but it also looked kind of like soap. I held it up to another employee and asked, "What is this?" The person just smiled in response. Although I wanted to eat it, my lack of knowing what it was stopped me. I walked from the kitchen to the bathrooms. An older woman held the door open for me to let me in and as I walked down the bathroom hall, I...

Notes: It's getting annoying that I can remember so many different parts of a dream, but not the bridges that connect one part to the next. Foods Eaten: Greek Salad The Dream: (Everything is out of order, I don't know what came first in the sequences, going off intuition...) I was standing in a dirt parking lot. There didn't appear to be any major buildings around, and didn't look like anyone had parked in the lot for years. I was with a group of people (friends, I think) and one of them was leading a horse. My sister was standing far opposite us, on the other side of the parking lot. She was riding one of her horses and a few of the other girls that work at her barn were with her, also on horseback. The person near me that had a horse wanted to let it go check out the other horses. Somehow my sister heard and advised that it was a bad idea and not to do that. The person let the horse off its lead anyway and it bolted across the parking lot toward my sister. There ...

Foods Eaten: Apparently Mint Cookies & Cream Milkshakes make for some impressive dreams. The Dream: There's a lot I seem to remember, and a lot I don't seem to remember, and some parts that are out of order or I don't know if they were connected to the same dream or if they were completely different. I'm starting at what I think came first, and would make sense in logical world. Trevor and I were in my car. He was driving and I was trying to use my phone as GPS and relay the directions to him. The GPS image had done that thing where it flips you around before it knows what direction you're really headed, and because of that I told him to turn the wrong way. I didn't immediately realize my mistake until we were a mile down the road and I said, "I think we went the wrong way." Trevor made an annoyed sound and gave me a frustrated look to go with it, but I told him to just keep going. He argued with me for a minute, but I urged to just go the new...

Notes: For as much as I remember, I don't remember just as much of this dream. Foods Eaten: Spaghetti and like 2 bites of caramel ice cream right before bed. The Dream: I was walking down a trail that reminded me of one behind the house I grew up in. There was a group of people, I don't remember most of them, but I kept closest to my friend Josh (who I've never actually met in person) . Whatever walk we were going on was quite a long one, but eventually we got to a little gas station style mini mart. I don't recall opening any doors to get in the mini mart, but we were suddenly inside. I spotted an old high school friend, Lindy, sitting in a chair across the store. My old friend Tana was now with me as well, and I nudged her and said we should go surprise Lindy. We walked across the store in sat in some small wooden chairs that were arranged in a circle, where Lindy was. I sat in a chair that was diagonally across from Lindy. Tana sat to my right. I looked to my ...

Notes: Went to a bar with a couple members of Papa Roach after their show in Orlando on Tuesday this week. Foods Eaten: Shrimp, Spring Rolls, Carrot Cake (odd combo resulting in dreams. I'll take it.) The Dream: (I recall there being more before this, but my dream memory isn't clear of it...)  I was driving in my car, it was relatively late at night - dark out, probably around 11:00 PM. I had been in touch with the drummer of Papa Roach, Tony, and was on the way to his house. Somehow I knew when I got close, slowing down to a crawl as I drove by a few small townhouse/apartment looking complexes. The buildings were all on the left side of the road, one story, four houses per complex. All the buildings were painted white and definitely didn't look well kept. When I thought I got to the right building, I called Tony to verify. He told me to go one more building down and his would be the first house in the complex. He then said that he wasn't there yet, but was on hi...

Notes: We've been watching a lot of The Walking Dead lately... Also, I finally finished working on all the "urgent" things flying around in my head. I think my brain leaves room for dream memory when I have a clear mind. Foods eaten: Spaghetti The Dream: I was laying on a bed. My childhood best friend Mary was sitting on the edge of the bed next to me. We were joking and laughing like we hadn't spent a minute apart. I said to her, "I've known you over half my life." I don't recall her response... Next thing I know I was outside of a house on a street that felt familiar (I don't recognize the street at all in consciousness) .  I was staring at a house across the street with Trevor standing next to me. One of us refers to the house as "our neighbors." It had a pool behind a short fence, but the pool hadn't been used in so long that the water was greenish brown and the consistency of mud. Somehow my dog ended up in a different...

Notes: I mostly want to note that I watched a mini-documentary yesterday about a woman who was somewhat brutally killed by her boyfriend. She was somewhat of a hero, saving a younger girl in the process - and the video showed a photo of her post-mortem. I kept waking up last night, not because the woman was actually in my dreams, just because I would picture that exact photo in my sleep. I don't feel like she was trying to haunt me or anything, I wasn't generally scared, just genuinely disturbed and felt/feel sorry for the loss of her, despite not knowing her. Foods eaten: Stir Fry The Dream: I was in a building, it felt familiar, like a work environment (in consciousness, I don't recognize the building at all) . I was sitting at a round table when someone walked by and asked if I was coming to join the potluck. I must have agreed, but before leaving, I recall kneeling on the floor near a bookshelf. I want to say there were toys on the ground that I was playing with......

Notes: The Butcher Babies have been interactive with me on social media lately and I wonder if seeing a notification from them before falling asleep influenced this one at all. Foods eaten: Quesadillas The Dream: ...There was context prior but my memory isn't sharp on what it was...  I was sitting outside at a picnic table - there was a group of picnic tables, maybe six of them together. It must've been a pool party or BBQ of sorts, people were in bathing suits and towels. Heidi of the Butcher Babies was dancing around on top of the picnic tables, bouncing from one to the next. I also recall the guitarist, Henry, being there. I vaguely remember someone offering me a can of coke to drink, and me accepting after some argument and discussion, insisting that I don't drink soda. At some point, I needed to use the restroom. I don't recall walking there, I just remember being in a very elegant mansion that I just knew belonged to one of my family's longtime friend...

Notes: Easily the most worthless lucid dream I've had, but it was the first time going lucid in a while and the dream didn't collapse, so that's a positive. Foods eaten: Quesadillas The Dream: ...I don't remember the surrounding context ...   I was flying around, hovering over some trees outside, when I suddenly came into a line of conscious thought: "I'm flying. Wait a second, how am I flying? Oh! I must be dreaming!"  Suddenly the surroundings drop into nothingness, now replaced by white. I'm still flying, but I see a person sitting on the ground. I land and walk over to them. Although I haven't managed to identify who they are and I make no effort to ask, my immediate thought in lucidity is to try and change them into someone else. I touch the person's shoulder while concentrating on thoughts of, "Turn into Trevor."  Nothing happens. I try a different person. "Turn into James."  Still nothing. "Turn into Martin....

Notes: I watched the Crab People episode of South Park before going to bed last night and that clearly influenced this dream. Foods eaten: Stir Fry The Dream: Looking around, I recognize the place as the media area of the Welcome to Rockville music festival that takes place in Jacksonville, FL. There was some sort of music photographer reception party going on, I saw my friend Luke walking through a buffet style line getting food. Although it was midday, I was panicked and on the run from something (I never figured out what...) . Because I was on the run, I didn't stay to say hi to anyone, I just ran into the nearest building. The entry hall of the building was lit and a few people half-heartedly tried to stop me from going any further into the building, saying I couldn't go in because of the "lizard people". I ignored their warning - whatever I was fleeing from was apparently of worse concern. I went through a door off the entry hall, but no lights were on any...

Notes: Foods Eaten: ... The Dream: I was in North Carolina, visiting my parents. I was sitting on a bed, but I wasn't paying enough attention to recognize if it was familiar or unfamiliar surroundings. I was on the phone, talking to my friend James on speaker phone when my mom walked in the room and asked, "Who is this new guy you're on the phone with all the time?" I half smiled and replied, "Uhh... that's James." My mom gave me a condescending look and questioned, "Should you be on the phone with another man?" Annoyed, I exclaimed, "Mom!" She started to retort and I was now becoming embarrassed that James was still on speaker phone and listening to my mom and I getting heated, so I whispered into the phone, "I gotta go..." and hung up. After mom and I cooled down, I went outside. The surroundings were not my parents backyard, but more of a lake with a secluded beach. I walked into the shallows and sat down in the wa...

Notes: Vague memory, I had multiple dreams in one night and this one probably came earlier so less details were remembered when I woke up. Foods Eaten: ... The Dream: I was walking around a city that must've been somewhere in Europe. The roads and sidewalks were textured differently and the none of the signs were in a language I recognized. I didn't seem to have much of an objective or direction, but there were golden metal circles - almost like manhole covers, but hung on the sides of buildings and walls as if they were art. I seemed to be following them around the city, using them as some sort of navigation...

Notes: I had to get up at 5am, so this was one of those dreams where you're clearly just paranoid you're going to miss your wake up time the whole night... Foods Eaten: The Dream: I was at a bar somewhere in Florida with my friend (and ex) Nate and his girlfriend Marlese. My sister was also in town hanging out with us. I looked at my phone and realized it was 2am so I said, "Shit, I have to get up at 5am, I better go home and get some sleep." Making the decision, I start walking to my car. Nate and my sister are in tow to say goodbye. My sister hung back a little ways, letting Nate and I walk down a flight of stares into the parking lot by ourselves. Halfway down the stairs, Nate turns to look at me and our eyes lock and we had one of those moments where our past relationship was clearly flashing through our minds. Although I'm consciously aware that his girlfriend and my sister are only a few steps away, Nate and I lock lips anyway, spending the ni...
