Dreams

24/12/14

Oh great, it's 3am. Tonight was my first attempt at lucid dreaming - unfortunately however I didn't realise I was dreaming (or even asleep for that matter) until I woke up. But it was a pretty interesting dream nonetheless.

It first started in my stepdad's car, I'd probably just missed the bus as we were going towards Daventry, where my school is. I was in the front seat, looking at number plates as I often do. The winter sun was shining and the sky a pale blue. Hey, that rhymes!

But anyway, as I'm looking through the cars we're stuck behind (must be some roadworks somewhere) I spot one I've never seen but only heard about; Kyle and Jacob's dad's car - a silver (or white, in the case of my dream) L-reg Vauxhall of some description. I nearly had a fit of excitement!

So I was chattering excitedly to Richard and the next thing I knew I was in the living room of the Trigger household. It was just me, Jacob, and his dad. Jacob was sat on his phone, Kyle was probably upstairs - even in my dreams I know it's not a good idea to walk in on a teenage boy alone in his room. Kyle definitely, and I've heard one or two things about Jacob's spare time...

Anyway, so I was sat in their living room rather bored at this point. I'd expect Jacob to not really be interested in conversation - he doesn't talk much at school - but Kyle's a definite friend who'd talk to me if I turned up at his door. I was sat on their leather sofa with my phone out and randomly took a photo of a wall and started tracing it on SketchbookX on my phone. As I woke up I kinda realised I hadn't saved the last thing I was doing yet and was a little worried! But that came in a minute. By this point, even Jacob had gone to his room and I found another bedroom. It was an extension of the ground floor into the garden and as the garden was sloped it felt like it was on the first floor. There was no one in it, and I was looking out of windows and actually becoming rather fond of this little room. Weird old me decided to snuggle into the bed (after first removing a plastic razor - only now I'm awake to I understand the implications of that...) and just as I'd gotten comfy the owner of the room turned up - a nine year old boy who I didn't know existed let alone met was at the doorway. I sheepishly got out of the bed, complimented the boy in his room, commented on the fact that small children suddenly seemed to be popping up everywhere all of a sudden - there was now a five year old lying on his stomach on the floor. Walking through the living room a stream of about three kids run past me. Then, my stepdad walks past and up some stairs I hadn't yet noticed - they were quite wide with a railing down the middle. They went up half a level to a rather blue themed room with doors leading to other rooms. My stepdad went into the bathroom, saying something about it being time to do the dishwasher. My first thought was "Great, now I've got to get the boys to help because I don't know where everything goes" but I woke up before I found the kitchen, let alone the dishwasher!

Upon waking, I went to get my phone and write this down before looking up more about lucid dreaming. After scaring myself silly while dropping off - the combination of white noise, nonexistant flashing lights and a "shadow" on my wall that looked suspiciously like the Were-Rabbit I gave up and came back to this 'chapter' to find it hadn't saved. Now that should have been a cue. It had saved and I was in fact dreaming again. A while later I'd got up, still thinking I was awake and freaked out because there was someone looking in at the window, which was open. Coming up to the window I saw that he meant no harm, our street had turned into a Winter Wonderland attraction over night and the people crowded at the window thought we were some kind of elves as part of the thing.

There was a lot more that happened too, something like walking up a narrow street and some wide open room with water and seaweed but I can't remember much of that at all.
