Dream on 10/30/10

I was in a futuristic city that reminded me of the main city fro Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers. I remember running around hiding from the nobles, going up and down huge elaborate elevators, and eventually escaping to the train, which was a place I had been before. The conductor recognized me and I recognized the place.
The Dream then switched to this post-apocalyptic future zone. There was a shelled out building and the remaining people had formed small groups to fend off the zombie hordes. I was freaking out in a very realistic manner (I thought). I explored the building that everyone was holed up in. The barricades were good, but most people were going to die. There was very little chance we would survive. For some reason the bottom of the building was a little, grassy park. I went down to talk to the people. An old man who new me and saw how scared I was came up to me and picked a little ball of dried grass off the ground. He said that if I wanted to kill myself, an easy way to do that would be to put the wad of grass up my nose, and then smash my nose in with a 2x4. It wasn't malicious, he was just trying to show people a way out if they didn't think they could handle the zombies. I actually considered it, but I didn't just want to kill myself, so I found the best place for me. I thought this was an ingenious solution. I was going to go to the top of the building with a sniper rifle and pick zombies off from above. It was pretty straight forward actually, but for some reason I was the only one who had thought of it. So I waited.

Dream on 10/29/10

There was this big party at a cabin in the mountains with a ton of people from my class at EHS. The place was way up at the top of this hill, with a cobblestone road leading down to a small town below. Everyone was dressed in a contemporary manner, but the whole dream definitely took place during medieval times. There was a magic pool at the bottom of the house, it looked like one of the Great Fairy pools from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Everyone from the party disappeared though all of a sudden, and I was in the cabin with one or two other people that I don't really remember. One I think was an old man that was teaching me how to use my sword for a brief period of time. My sword was the same wooden one from my house in Canada, the only difference was that it had three sections on the blade, right above the hilt. The three slots were for elemental abilities like from the game "protector IV". I had a poison element for the top section and for the bottom section, but the middle section was sort of a strange element. It was a special one that was called Akroma's Sun Sabre. The sections were just a little sliver on the back of the blade, and the special Akroma one looked like it had been hit with a hammer or something repeatedly because it had little circular dents all over it. I thought it was damaged so I tried to peel it off, and it splintered off somewhat in my hand, but then the old man told me what it was so I stopped. I went outside, mounted my horse, and fought off some of the enemies that were right outside the cabin. I then rode down the hill at full speed, swinging my sword at anything that was in my way. The enemies in front of me were skeletal, wrapped in black armor and tatters of skin, but golden light revealed the outlines of their former glory. I hacked my way through them as I shot down the mountain, but I did so quickly, and was soon galloping through the blockades set up by the villagers at the end of the hill. I wasn't attacking them, but I was going too fast on my horse, and I couldn't stop it. This last part was a direct result of my long-boarding down the main drive at EHS. I remember the feeling of mostly being in control of what was carrying me down the hill, but not in control enough to be able to stop myself when I wanted to. It wasn't scary, just extremely awesome. I loved crashing through the enemies on the way down the hill, it was totally badass.

Dream on 10/23/10

Well, I had been watching Guren Lagann a lot that night, so the first part of the dream was not a huge surprise. I was a small gunman robot that looked like these little spinning robot people we had when I was in Italy many years ago. I basically looked like a squat, little red knight, but I had a big blade on my head like a horn that I could cut stuff in half with. This part of the dream was pretty short and it was mainly just an action shot (very anime) of me cutting something in half with my horn. It was from the perspective of behind whatever I was cutting in half, so the halves were nondescript black shapes in the foreground and there were lots of speed/energy lines flowing around me.
The second half of the dream was a little stranger. It took place at the EHS campus, but things were a little rearranged. It was like real life Call of Duty, and I was playing with a lot of my classmates from St. Stephen's. Everyone was running around with guns and shooting at each other, but when you got shot, you respawned at a random location with nothing but your underwear on, and you had to go find guns (this was a really difficult game, looking back on it now, it was super hard to start back up after you respawned). I remember hiding in the locker room and looking for guns in the lockers there. It wasn't a scary dream, it was just like video games and reality had become one. Crazy stuff.

Dream on 10/22/10

I was infiltrating this Spanish drug cartel, and I was running around and hiding in this desert town (this town has been in a lot of my dreams as of late, and I'm not sure why, I don't really know what it means yet, but I'm working on it...), but it was really more like a game of hide-and-seek than a real infiltration mission. I was about to be caught in this one house by an old woman who was secretly a robot or a monster or something, so I was pretty scared, but not nightmare scared.

I woke up because my alarm clock rang.

I went back to sleep and the dream continued, sort of. I was now parked outside this house on a mountain with lots of woods surrounding it. There was a blond Russian girl there (I think because I had talked to Uly the other day), but it wasn't her, and this girl wasn't very attractive. For some reason though, in my mind I kept taking pictures from different angles of her face to find one that made her look more attractive. I really remember it as sort of a photo montage of Polaroid pictures that stacked on top of each other. There was someone tied up to a tree in the woods that the focus would flash to occasionally, but I couldn't tell if they were a friend or foe. The Spanish drug cartel had been replaced by these little red Goblins in this part of the dream. I went into the house with the girl and talked to an old woman (a different one) dressed all in gray. I went back out to the car for a second with the Russian girl, and she asked me a question and I ran to the car to pull out my iPad, which I was super stoked about in the dream for some reason. I also had some sort of nondescript super power, and when I reversed it the ground beneath my feet would start to melt like ice, and I would run/skate on it really fast. The Russian girl had a power too, so I showed her how to do what I could. The dream switched to a sort of action, anime shot of me running on what looked like the top of a brown rock wall towards the camera (angle of the shot was tilted towards the left), lots of speed lines, with the ground starting to melt under my feet. It switched to show the Russian girl doing the same thing, but the camera angle was tilted to the right, and the rock wall beneath her feet was dark turquoise. The dream switched back to the house, and it was like the man tied to the tree was also present in the house, tied up to a column (he was in both places at once) and his power was conjuring these needles into his hands that he could throw, and the version of him in the house had done just that, and thrown the needles through the wall of the house and into a tree just outside. We knew the goblins were coming now, and now they had a way in (through the hole he made with the needles).

Dream on 10/16/10

I was playing Magic the Gathering with some girls in this building for a little bit, one blond, one brunette, both had long ponytails. The dream suddenly switched to this desert town. I remember Grace Chesson being there. I was with two other people, and together the three of us went into the "Cave of Wonders" from Aladdin. Somehow we were at the bottom of it, and there was this sheer wall in front of us. It had little, maze-like ridges sticking out here and there. There was a rope hanging from the top that we had to use to climb up, but we couldn't put too much weight on it, or it would pull this sandbag off this lid, and evil would be unleashed upon the world. We had to climb up the wall to find and sign this book though, so we did it, slowly but surely. We got back to the town, and went inside a building. Some people were having a Nerf war, and I wanted to play, but I was supposed to be listening to someone. I decided not to though, and tossed some of the darts back at them. I went outside and it was now daylight. Grace was in the back seat of a car that whizzed by and almost ran me over. She stuck her head out the window and spoke to me before they drove off. One of my partners noticed the huge supply pack I had set aside, and I told him it was for my next journey. I was returning to the "waking" world.

Dream on 10/15/10

Two Bramblesnaps were fighting, one green, one black. It was JUST like the scene from Darksiders when the main dude fights the shadow version of himself. The two turn into demons and fight each other. It was a huge, drawn out battle. The green one was the good guy, and the black one was pure evil. They were made out of twisted chords of pure mana. The Bramblesnaps had huge horns and giant teeth, it was an awesome fight to be a part of, for I was the green one!

Dream 10/7/10

Magic in canada. New Cards (silver lining like unhinged). Monsters were real and attacking my house. I remember two cards (fish flying through ray became bigger fish, a pill you could attach things to). I sped off to buy new cards, caught by police after weaving through lanes. He didn't give me a ticket when I told him I was just learning, he gave me a clear box of magic cards. I looked at three and morphed into the latest drawing of Hermy I was working on. I got these crazy gray strap boots that changed shape, a cool black feathered cloak with a hood, and some sweet gloves that made my hands look like bandaged puppet hands.

Dream on 10/6/10

I was a paper-maker, specializing in cigarette papers. I invented this one kind of rolling paper that had crushed up match heads in it, so it was sort of off white with small red spots on it. You could just strike them against a wall and they would then light. Someone was after us though, so I remember running down this downward spiraling column of moving sidewalks. We were hiding out in some building from these creatures, and then another building next to us blew up I think. It looked like we were in Ravnica, the city of Guilds.

Number Two (took a nap later):
I was in the movie theater with my credit card papers, I left them. I went back for them, they were gone and Obama had taken them and changed them around. He's so sneaky...

Dream on 10/1/10

This was a crazy one. I was a younger version of me in medieval times. I was in a fort wooden fort with a man who was using this metal cylinder that looked like the thing Rasputin used in the movie Anastasia, but it was all metal and glowing green. He summoned these demons that were all in Doug-esque colors. They had these really terrible spears that were basically fence-posts with rounded points sharpened to a mild edge on one side. The army we summoned fought the humans in this nearby town in a wooded road right outside our fort. Both teams were really terrible and ran away from the fight screaming. I asked the leader guy to summon more, but he said that he couldn't use the whistle (the metal rod) again so soon. The humans (in their knight armor and red-and-white tabards with gold decorations on the front) realized this and came after us. We ran and all of a sudden we were in this bathroom in an apartment building at the end of a road in an Italian looking city. I looked out the window of the bathroom we were in, and saw a van pull up to the front of the house and some men in black suits show up. I knew they were this time period's version of the red-cloaked knights. We were freaking out. As soon as the men knocked on the door a woman in a pink shirt with brown hair opened the door and let them in. I saw a way out. I climbed through the window in the bathroom that I totally shouldn't have been able to fit in, but I sort of just busted through the window frame and broke it out of place. I ran across the roof outside the window (roof 1), and on to the one next door (roof 2). I busted through a Window on roof 2 and was in a spacious attic all of a sudden. I walked around and Amanda Bynes was sitting on a crossbeam, trying to hide from her mother. She wanted to run away with a boy or something like that I think, and the mom came up and yelled, "So this is where you've been hiding!" I helped Amanda get across the floor away from her mother and to a ladder that lead to another small window I was going to help her through. The sun poured in bright and orange, casting light upon all the dust hovering in the air. You could see that ripples through it as we passed across the beams. It was very surreal and movie-like. She turned and asked me why I did it. "Because you're just so adorable," I replied. She was really hot, adorable sounded really stupid, and I realized that after I said it. She laughed, leaned in, and gave me a kiss and climbed the ladder.

Dream on 9/30/10

I think this one was the result of watching an episode of the awful Garfield cartoon on Cartoon Network. I was running through to woods to get to this summer camp I was in charge of. The woods looked like they were in the Seminary right next to the track at EHS. The camp was one little room in the woods full of fish in little aquariums and stuff. The kids were all trying to eat or play with the fish, and I ran around trying to stop them.
