Scenes from my Dreams

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...
