Scenes from my Dreams

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: Uh... I didn't seem to have any concept of time or order in this dream. I can recall "scenes" in detail, but I have no idea what sequence they happened in. Foods Eaten: Chai Tea The Dream: I was in a very dimly lit room. The wall to my right was lined with bookcases of varying heights. There were two other people in the room, but I'm unsure of who they were... and then there was Marilyn Manson standing on top of one of the shorter bookcases. He was dressed in his typical black, with large platform boots on. He had a pair of sunglasses on as well, and was holding a microphone. I don't really recall him "singing" but I do remember he became the focus of my dream, and he moved his face within inches of mine. His head was tilted down, so I could see his eyes peering at me over the sunglasses. He stared directly and said something in his raspy whisper voice, but I can't remember what he said. I remember it struck me as strange and I gave it a...

Notes: Pretty wasteful use of lucidity, but hey, I went lucid, so I guess that's an improvement. Foods Eaten: A scavenged mix of chocolate, mixed nuts and Parmesan cheese... The Dream: I was standing in a pretty desolate looking room. The floor was a light gray, and the walls were a darker shade of gray. The place appeared to have been completely ransacked... a clutter of broken items around the perimeter of the room. I walked around, occasionally taking a closer look at a particular grouping of broken items, but before long I heard a distant throaty rumble noise. At first I paid it no mind, but it quickly got louder and I thought to myself, "Is that a tornado?" Immediately I called out for my family, "Mom? Dad? Mel? Are you guys here?" Quickening my pace, I began to search the house, hollering up and down staircases trying to make sure my family was safe. I wasn't feeling overly panicked, but since I wasn't getting a response I came to the conclusi...

Notes: This was probably the most interesting dream I've had in a while... been slacking in the dreamer department. The day before this dream, there was some solar flare hitting the Earth, and I'm pretty sure that had something to do with the first part of this dream. The Dream: I was walking around a mall with a couple of my coworkers. We turned into what I think was a Spencer's gift store. There were a myriad of items, notably books, posters, wrist bands, etc. - all about solar flares. Those items were being showcased on a table that was positioned directly under a window. It seemed we all came to the sudden realization that there was actually a solar flare happening at that very moment. Stupidly, we all looked out the window and directly into the sun, curious if there was anyway to actually see something "different" happening on the sun during a solar flare... but as usually expected, we only got momentarily blinded by it. There was some sort of transition...

Notes: I slept like crap last night, so I'm sort of surprised I remember as much as I do about this one. Foods Eaten: Eggplant Parmesan Dream Location: In an apartment building The Dream: I was outside, next to a vertically large building. There was a staircase leading up the side, which I quickly ran up. I was in a bit of a hurried panic. I don't remember how I actually got inside, but I do remember running to a corner of the first room I entered. It was an apartment building, and I don't know who it belonged to. I decided to walk around the other rooms and scout what I was dealing with... As I walked around, I noticed a bunch of windows. It was dark out, and there were no lights on inside, but I felt compelled to shut the blinds for further protection. As I was quickly running around the rooms closing every blind, I noticed a small red laser dot on the floor. I immediately assumed there was someone trying to aim at me with a gun, so I rushed through the rest of ...

Notes: I most certainly was woken up by my alarm clock during this one, but holy crap it's a lot of senselessness. Foods Eaten: Mac & Cheese Dream Location: New house? The Dream: I think there were things going on before the part that I remember, but my memory starts inside of a car, with a girl I met from a game - I know her better as "Narissa", though her name is Jessica. We were driving up an unfinished rocky road, when I looked over and saw an old acquaintance of mine, Ryan Whitehead. He was sitting in a chair, under the porch of a very freshly built house. Jessica and I stopped and got out of the car, then walked over to Ryan. Some part of me knew that there were other people nearby doing construction work on the gravel road and more houses, and Ryan was supposed to be working for them, so I simply told Ryan, "Lazy bum," then continued on my way. We walked straight into the house Ryan was sitting on the porch of. It was elegant, with a large e...

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Pizza Dream Location: Part not sure, part my house. The Dream: I was in a classroom, or something of that sort. I was feeling anxious, because Richard had apparently just proposed to me. I was unable to give him a yes or no answer, but I was panicking about what to do. I remember running out of the room... And ending up in my own bedroom. Richard was laying comfortably on my bed. I started changing my clothes in front of him, but suddenly realized the window curtains were open. There was some strange, large automobile outside the window, and there were two guys and a girl inside of it. The guy in the back was pointing at me and grinning wide as I was getting naked. The other two were laughing. Richard noticed that they were staring at me, but didn't even move to close the curtains. I quickly ducked down to hide behind my bed frame, with only my head staring over it to watch the people in the large mobile. I'm pretty sure the people from the...

Notes: Nothing of mention Foods Eaten: Cheese Enchilada and Chicken Quesadilla Dream Location: Colorado... not really sure on the specifics, I know there was a random creepy house The Dream: As usual, I don't remember where it started. I was driving my 350z, following my best friend, Mary, and her boyfriend, Jay (who was driving in his car, separate from her). I knew we were headed to some house, we had heard about some strange happenings there, and felt the need to go check it out. Mary and Jay started to get way ahead of me, I was losing sight of them. I tried to catch up, but it felt impossible. Suddenly my dad appeared... I guess he was floating beside my car as it was moving. He said something along the lines of, "Colorado makes it feel like you are going a lot faster than you really are." I guess it was supposed to be offering an explanation of why I couldn't keep up. I had totally lost sight of Mary and Jay by that point, but continued driving anyway. I...
