Mar 30th.

-I just got out of school and was walking with 2 other guys from my class, although I didn't recognize them. We made our way to a parking garage and we were on the top level and needed to get to the bottom. As we made our way down, each level was filled with either junk or really kick ass stuff. For example one level had a bunch of old tires and other junk but it also had numerous pinball machines and cars made out of solid gold. We finally made it to the bottom level and were climbing a steep hill when a security guard yelled for us to stop. The other guys I was with panicked and scrambled to get out of here. I then panicked and tried to get away, but the hill was giving me trouble. The guard ran straight past me but tripped and fell all the way down the hill allowing us to get away.

-I was outside of a small creepy house in the middle of the woods in the middle of the night. Not a good start. Luckily Chris, Jeff, Greg and Ben were there. The place was lit up only by a dim porch light. We made our way in through the second story window and turned on the light only to find an empty second floor and the ground was a thin piece of plywood. Moments later, the ground began to shake and the floor gave in plummeting us to the first floor.

(The floor giving way was very vivid although I wasn't lucid dreaming.)

Knowing this house was haunted, we had to stay the night. We were all creeped out and knew something bad was going to happen yet we needed to sleep here for some reason. The first floor was also an empty room, not very big, with a short hallway leading to a bathroom and a closet on opposite sides. I was very nervous and tried to find the most strategic spot to lay my sleeping bag. I camped out next to a wall above everyone else. That's when the sequence ended.

-I was at the beach, I had a football in hand and were meeting some friends there. I made my way into the sand only to find out that it is packed. Thousands of people were here. I made my way through the crowd down to the water and followed it down until I saw Jeff. He was by himself.

-I was outside a big restaurant with a briefcase. I had a crazy watch on where I heard a voice say that I needed to take out a major crime lord and plant this briefcase bomb on the restaurant balcony. I made my way through the small lobby and into a tiny elevator that had red velvet decorations. I was then on the balcony, which was giant by the way, maybe half the size of a football field. I pulled out a silenced SMG and shot the crime lord a few times and then his body guard. I had saved the day. One of the restaurant patrons grabbed the bomb and threw it over the side. He claimed I was being tricked and that this restaurant shouldn't be blown up. I was invited to have dinner with everyone in the restaurant and lined up for the buffet. I grabbed a ton of breaded chicken and that's when this dream ended.

Being an action hero in my dreams is pretty cool, except for the completely anti-climactic ending.

Mar 29th.

-I was driving down a busy road. I was heading to an amusement park while traveling through some nice neighborhoods and then through a barren farmland. Once I got to the amusement park I met up with Ben and Jeff and we rushed through the park entrance. The park was very narrow with rides on the left hand side and a great ocean on the other side. We made our way to our first rollercoaster, which looked EXACTLY like one I had seen in another dream (I will look back and see which entry it was) I found out the name of the ride was Thunder and it had a picture of the sun and moon under it. Odd. Before I was able to go on it, I woke up.

This is one of the extremely rare times in my life where I have had an element of one dream pop up in another. Its a weird feeling when it happens. When you have a lucid dream, it is amazing and truly a great experience, where as this is more weird and you don't know how this could happen.

Had some crazy ass dreams this night.

-I was downtown SC one night when I went into a busy bar towards the Beach end of Pacific Garden mall. This bar was very crowded as I made my way upstairs to a bar where I met a very attractive girl with shorter hair and lots of eyeshadow. I eventually told her that I didn't have a place to stay and she suggested that I stay at her apartment. Sweet.

The next part of this dream involved a map that I was looking at which showed a dense residential area with some nice apartment complexes. I noticed on the map that there was a big hippo looking creature on the end of one of the streets. I thought it was just the cartographer's sense of humor or just doodling. Anyway, I was on a moped going through the dark parking lots when I saw a neon car and couldn't take my eyes off of it. The next minute I heard some weird carnival music. (The last time this happened, bad things were around the corner.) I then saw two people on a moped in front of me, I couldn't tell who or what they were. I turned around and raced off. Luckily, this sequence ended before anything bad could happen.

-I was in one of my culinary classes. The room was very bright with a futuristic look to it. Hard to describe but the walls were paneled and shiny and the seats were all chrome and modern. The class had a demo going on so we all gathered around a table in the front of class. I noticed I was wearing a black suit with red velvet undershirt and one of my classmates, Sean, took a sharpie and started writing stuff on the red part. Couldn't tell what he was writing.

-I was in a parking lot late at night with a bunch of people, maybe 100 or so. There was a portable basketball hoop in the middle of a crowd. I had found out that it was a massive gathering for a trick shot basketball tournament. Basically everyone that made some kind of wacky, crazy shot was here in the mother of all tournaments. In a random parking lot. One of the players was pumping up the crowd by yelling and cheering. That's all I got though.

-I was out at sea at dusk with some random people, maybe 3 or 4. We were trying to save a whale that was having breathing problems. One of the guys had a breathing apparatus that I needed to put on this whale. I jumped over the side of the boat and hooked this thing up with the help of the other guys. Just as we got back into the boat, The leader of the group got really angry and turned transparent and glided out to sea. It was as if he was a speedy ghost traveling along the top of the water. Weird.

Mar 27th.

This was one of those nights were I had one surprisingly vivid dream and a few other dreams which I forgot about once I woke up. If at some point I do remember what happened, I'll edit this. But for now I'll just post the one I do remember.

-I was alone in a large cylindrical chamber that had blue/purple rock walls that seemed to make everything faintly glow and light up the room in its respective color. I heard a faint countdown from somewhere and began to panic. I noticed a small set of stairs on the wall and ran up them to a platform with a set of transparent dishes. They were very similar to petri dishes except each one was a different size. What I needed to do was to form a volcano of sorts with the different sized dishes, with the base being the largest and getting smaller as I stack them.

At first I didn't know how to do it. I got frustrated and began to move more slowly and precise, which was working...until I got about halfway and then a door in the rock wall opened and a bunch of people ran out into the chamber. That was the end of that.

-I had a vision of a room in a castle with the same blue/purple glow as the rock chamber. It had a spiral staircase in the middle with a big window looking out towards the midnight sky and two huge bookcases on each side. That's all I remember.

The big Five Oh.

Can't believe I've reached the half century mark.

I'm still trying to compare my dreams to others in terms of wackiness, and some of them are really bizarre. I remember the dream where I built a graham cracker house with Seth Green. Lulz.

-I was atop some mountains that had a big field on top of them. There were other mountains with fields all around me. The edges were steep and were covered in a thick fog so you couldn't see the bottom. But from what I remember in the dream, it was pretty much bottomless. I was with some other people I didn't recognize and there was a thin bridge connecting one field to the other. We needed to cross that of course. I saw myself in a third person perspective and began running along the bridge. About halfway I jumped over to a large cove in the field with torches burning everywhere. There were little goblins in this cove waiting for us. I jumped too far and hit the inner wall of the cove and that ended the sequence.

Mar 17th.

Been a bad week to have dreams I guess. My mind has been filled with stuff and I guess when that happens, I can't dream for some reason.

-Amsterdam.
I was in a small hotel room with a big bed, a big cooler and the door was open to reveal a beautiful ocean with crystal blue water in the distance. It felt like more of a tropical location than Amsterdam. Whatever. Not much of interest happened in the hotel, I just remember being in it.

-I was with a group of friends. I saw Joel, Hana, Jeff and Ben. We were in a big mall with black marble floors and walls, very modern and really interesting feel to it. We eventually got to a flight of stairs and stopped at the top. We all got scared and tried to walk down them but started falling. We had to grab onto the railing and kind of slide down them. I guess we all just didn't know how to walk down stairs. Bizarre!

Mar 11th.

This dream felt weird. Really weird. I guess that Moose Drool really took it to me last night.

-I was in SV during a huge rain storm. There was a threat of landslides and massive flooding. I was in a big SUV with Ben as my passenger and we were driving down a residential road with a whole bunch of people trying to leave their houses and go to higher ground. I carefully drove around them and reached a field where people had started to gather. I began having fun just four wheeling around the field while everyone else was frantic and tense. I saw a big Jeep climb up some rocks and wanted to do the same. But I went against it. End segment.

-I was in front of the SV theaters. I had my ipod in hand and was walking out to the big parking lot looking for my car. I stood in the middle of the lot, and looked around. I saw maybe 3 or 4 cars but they weren't mine. Then things got a little weird...

I had a clear vision of where I was. I could see all around me as if I had just woken up. I clearly remember saying "What the fuck is going on?" I felt like I was fighting with myself trying to realize that this was a dream but I totally knew I was in one. It was different than the other lucid dreams, sorta in a way that I slightly knew I was dreaming. This one I was almost 100% aware I was in a dream world.

I saw a nearby building and decided I wanted to jump on the roof. I took a running start and jumped up maybe 20 feet on the roof. I began running toward the edge to try and do another wicked jump. Before I got near the edge, I slowed down and started to stagger and then woke up before I got to the edge.

Very cool experience. All of this recording and experimenting with sleep and dreaming is definitely worth this dream.

Mar 9th.

-I was in a large, barren field. There was nothing in front of me for miles except a tan landscape and a blue sky. I turned around and was in a fantasy city with buildings painted in pastel colors. It looked like I was in a Hello Kitty world. There were a few people standing next to me whom I didn't recognize. They all started running, and I chased after them. I ran into a park center with a small fountain in the middle, and that's when I realized this was a race. I ran down a street and was in front of an apartment building and raced up to my apartment and found my sister there. I was a little frustrated because I thought I was winning this race, only to be back home and nothing happened.

-Next I was playing a game and had a third person view, but was completely immersed in the game world. (Much like previous game related dreams). I was in a small car, in a snowy suburban area. I drove around for a while until I got to an overpass and drove back and forth underneath it. I would make a U turn and just drive under it, that's it.

-I was in a bar. The bar had a log cabin feel and look to it. The room was very long and narrow and there was an odd glass on the bar, going its entire length. I saw the bartender who looked alot like a real life version of Kenny's dad from South Park.

Mar 7th.

-I was in a complex of tennis courts, with some chain link fences and a few trees. It was just me and a girl, whom I didn't recognize. We were playing a casual game of tennis, and I noticed that every so often, people would start to show up and play. Slowly, more and more people showed up and it started to become crowded. I then found myself being crammed near the fence and some guy pushed me aside because I was too close, although it was crowded so I didn't really have anywhere to go. He said something mean and then let me be. I overheard somebody say there was a zombie outbreak and that everyone that wasn't infected was gathering here. That's all I remember.

Mar 5th.

Ughhh what a night...

-Me and Jeff were in a classroom, we sat near the back and to our right was a giant aquarium that spanned the length of the classroom. It was huge. Anyway the teacher asked to pull out our homework which everyone did except for me. Thus begun my night of terror. I quickly tried to do my homework on the spot before the teacher came by to collect it. I don't really remember the subject, but I finished about half of it before the teacher came by and picked it up. End segment.

-I was in a small lab under water with some other people I didn't recognize. The water was dark, and we found out there were a few sea monsters lurking. This lab had clear walls so you can see in every direction. It was a real creepy feeling. I saw the lab from a distance as some of the monsters were gathering around the lab while an underwater vehicle that looked like an orb floated around the lab. End.

-I was walking up a creepy hill at night, with a light rain and a rough wind. This hill had a narrow path with some trees on both sides that I had to push branches out of the way to get through. The hill curved and at the top was a flat piece of land with a buffet table. My dad was there along with a few other unrecognized people. I sat with them at this buffet table and my dad started talking about food presentation. So there was a table outside, middle of the night, with some strangers with a lot of food. Weird.

-This next part felt like a music video sans the music. I was watching my cousin Jeff roll around disneyland in a go kart. I saw many different angles and he looked like he was having a good time, letting the breeze fly by him. There was a minimal amount of other people there, so he had an easy time getting around and going fast. I think there was a piece of a speedboat that had been placed on the go kart and gave it kind of a cube type of look.

-Not sure if this was part of the same dream, but I was in an alley just outside of disneyland, a few buildings on each side with a gate in front of me and a girl working there as a ticket taker. I went up to her and explained that my ticket was torn to shreds. I pulled the shreds out of my pocket. She laughed and told me to follow her. I followed her into a building to our left and the inside was very fancy. Nice carpets, nice wall decorations, everything looked very elegant. She gave me a new ticket for free and I asked her about any secrets in the park. Unfortunately it all ended after that.

-Ugh. Ok, I think I was still in disneyland in a very elegant mansion, maybe an extension of the last building. I was in the main lobby when I started to hear some creepy piano/carnival music being faintly played. I walked forward through a door on the other side of the lobby and found myself in a hallway. Down the hall was a statue of a woman with very little clothing on and in an erotic pose. The music got a little louder. I passed the statue and went into a large bedroom with a big bed and not much else...except for a bunch of halloween decoration type ghosts, the only difference is that their faces had very evil looking expressions, one had evil looking yellow eyes. The fact that they were all lined up in a circle didn't help the fact that this dream was taking a bad turn. I reached the bed and laid down and noticed that all the ghosts were looking at me. They had turned 180 degrees from where I initially saw them. After a few seconds, while I was still laying down, the ghosts turned greyish with yellow glowing eyes and quickly came at me. I woke up with my heart pounding. That sucked. I have had worse nightmares but the creepy factor was way high for this one. :(

no more nightmares plz. kthx

Mar 4th.

-I was in a big jewelry store where my sister was working as a salesperson. It had strange lighting behind some tan sheets and was kind of dark. Really hard to explain, but that's about as much as I can remember. Anyway, I was kind of bored until I saw a case that had video game figures. I saw one that had different kinds of crabs from different video games. (I think that beach level from Mario Kart has caught up to me.) The crabs all had unique art styles. I really wanted it, and I turned around to talk to my sister about it. She walked over to the case and just stood there. I took a closer look at the case and half of the crabs were missing or were broken. Really strange. That's when this segment ended.

-I was with some friends just outside a garage with a big TV, a 360 and a bunch of video games. Josh was there and we wanted to play some Street Fighter 4. I found the case but the game wasn't inside. I started checking all the other cases and ran into a few games that would'nt ever be on the Xbox. Like the Disgaea series. I remember the cover had a white background with a dark silhouette of someone, and a banner that ran vertically down the middle, with the title.

-I was in the new Cowboy's stadium in one of the main hallways. Tony Romo was there along with a few other people and a big security guard. I followed them into the locker room where Tony pointed out that all the clocks had the number 9 where all the other numbers would have been.

-I was in a supermarket. I was walking down an aisle and noticed an eight foot tall man walking down the aisle as well. A few cops started walking over to him and he immediately started to run amok in the store, hopping over shelves and running into things. It looked like a cartoon the way his body moved around. The cops eventually got him and I followed them out. Creepy.

Mar 1st.

-I was on a big dirt path. To my right was steep mountains and to my left was an endless ocean that looked like it was in the caribbean, it was teal and you could see the bottom. There was a character on a motorcycle as if I was playing a game, but I was in the actual world. I started to motor down the path, hitting small jumps and splashing through puddles. Eventually the sky started to get a little cloudy in the distance and I felt I needed to get to the end of this track soon. I hit a large bump and sail over the edge and into the ocean.

The character respawns on top of an icy mountain filled with other riders and motorcycles all around, trying not to fall off the mountain. The weird part was everyone shrunk down to micro machine sizes while I remained the same size. The background was the inside of a house, like a well lit attic. Anyway, I looked at a map and realized that the end of the race was very near, so the main character found an unoccupied bike and drove off.

(I wasn't sure if this next part was of the same dream, but I'll treat it as a new instance.)

-I was in a room, all alone, with some random junk all around me. It looked ODDLY similar to the attic in the previous segment. Some parts of the floor ODDLY had a smooth ice surface and I felt the whole premise of this room was to solve some sort of puzzle to get out. I wasn't sure why or how but I instantly thought of that.

I was instantly outside now, there was a thick fog and I noticed a few houses. I entered one of them and found no one inside. I went up a flight of stairs into an odd room with a small stage and some BBQ equipment, real fancy high tech BBQ stuff. Instead of a normal ceiling, it had a tent like cover, all white.

I was instantly in a hallway and I noticed something moving out of the corner of my eye, in the bathroom. I take a look and see a spatula and a big fork resting on the toilet seat, but they were wobbling back and forth noticably. (I started to feel very alone at this point, and now with these inanimate objects moving on their own caused me to feel a little uneasy.) I went into the bathroom and saw these objects up close and then the segment ended. (I had a weird feeling that this also could have turned out bad had the dream kept going.)

-I was in SV, over by the shell station and for some reason, there was a ton of people there. I was with Alex and we were talking about a job as a signholder that had to stand on a podium high up in the air. That's all that really happened before I woke up.
