February Dream Journal

Well my trick with the car did not get me lucid so I tried another tack. I decided since I often see my mother in my dreams, that the next time I saw her, I should realize it's a dream and become lucid. Well only a few sleeps after making that decision, there she was so I tried it! She was standing there with me and my best friend Dianne and I said, Mom!  You're here! That means this is a dream! This is a dream!

When I said it the second time, Dianne changed from her ordinary Caucasian self into a black person. I found that interesting to note.

Even though I had the realization it was a dream, I did not fly, remote view the winning Powerball numbers, or go visit any of the people I intended to "drop in on" if I ever gained lucidity. Oh well, tonight is another night.

Two other really memorable portions from the dream:

1.) I was working in an office building. I was out back for some reason (smoking?). Out back were two town workers (I had two town workers in my house this morning, before taking the nap that gave me this dream) in a gigantic blue vehicle/machine type contraption on tall skinny legs. The thing must have been fifty or sixty feet tall. It towered over me. The two workers were sort of having an argument. I think one of them did not want to drop their load while I was standing there watching. Someone else was outside too, but I think she had her back turned to the workers. She was pretty with short, dark hair, but I did not recognize her. The one who wanted to drop the load finally said something to the effect of, well are we gonna sit here and argue all day, or are we gonna do this thing? At which point the machine/vehicle backed up a bit, and the load it was carrying came down from the back of it and was deposited on the ground, and the workers immediately ske-daddled out of there. I walked over closer to the thing they left behind, and it was a blue nest of sorts, quite a large one, sort of sized and shaped like a hot tub, with what appeared to be a mother and several baby demon/dragon/dinosaur beings with scary red eyes. Somewhere I had seen these before, possibly on YouTube or in a movie. I knew this was not good and it became my responsibility to let everybody know. I went upstairs to where one of my co-workers sat on the 7th floor, and persuaded her to come to the window with me, but I knew so much time had passed, the nest and the critters would be gone by the time we got to the window and I was right. But I said I wouldn't have believed it either if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. I believe I was wishing I had had my camera (I've wished I had my camera handy a couple of times recently in real life.)

2.) The office building changed into a hotel and back into an office building. Someone had died and people were crying. Again I was smoking a cigarette and so could not go past the entryway, and I told Dianne, who had gone ahead of me, that I wasn't going in. She came out too and we watched as someone tried to hit someone else with a car. Then a guy named Jerry was in another car, a black futuristic Mustang-looking type car, and he came after me and Dianne in it! But luckily he did not allow enough clearance for a big pillar and slammed into that with the side of his car, not hurting him but preventing him from hitting us with it.

I will try again if I see either of my parents in my dreams and let you know how it goes.
