I hear a lot about lucid dreaming and being able to do all the crazy stuff you can't do in real life with wild abandon. I've had semi-lucid dreams before, but like most I usually wake up shortly after realizing I can do anything I want. Irritating, to say the least. But I read that writing down your dreams helps you remember them, and that can help you along with the lucid dreaming somehow. Anyway. I had two significant dreams last night, one between midnight and 3, after which I woke up, and then another between 3 and 7. In the first one I was sitting on a coach bus in a larger version of my town, and for some reason all the exchange students I was with the previous weekend started yelling when I opened my mouth. I think they thought I was going to give away some big secret. The pretty girl from Argentina said she had never heard her coach say so much in her life. It wasn't clear whether I was the coach or it was simply a comparison. Eventually I got away from the bus, much to the students' chagrin. I met up with my friend Keith and we had lunch, where I paid him back for a sandwich he gave me the day before. I wasn't planning to pay him back in real life, but I figured it would gnaw at me if I didn't. So I paid him back the 2.50 for that crappy sandwich. I vaguely remember something about the set of a TV show in a slightly off version of my school, but that's a blur.
The next dream was shorter and less elaborate. I was in a larger version (common theme, apparently) of my high school health classroom, which I haven't taken a class in in two years. We were arguing with the teacher to try and watch a movie on the screen pulled down in front of the blackboard. I think we won the fight, but I woke up before the movie actually started. That one I remembered without writing it down.
So what do these mean? Everything seems to be larger in my dreams, possibly expressing some subconscious dissatisfaction with the size and scale of my life. I also speak with a lot more people. Maybe it's a signal that I want to do that in my waking life. Or maybe I just think that girl from Argentina is really pretty. No matter what it is, I'll look up some stuff on dream interpretation and maybe pick up a book on it when the opportunity presents itself. Hmm, I always wrap these up at just the right point. Until tomorrow.
