Another Korea Dream

I had a dream this morning, but once again I just laid in bed until 11:30 before I got up so it's kinda hazy.
Korean Army
The dream started off in America. I was at some sort of program to sign up for studying abroad in South Korea. Things were pretty normal until this one part in the application when I had to sign up for a draft card for the South Korean army. I was not cool with this at all, but for some reason I ended up signing up.
The next part I remember I arrived at Korea but I didn't have a place to stay set up when I got there (this seems to be a recurring part of my dreams). I kinda got this apartment in Seoul, but for some reason I couldn't speak any Korean at all in the dream so I'm not sure what was going on. My apartment was just this one crappy room, no bathroom or kitchen or anything. However it did have a balcony with an amazing view of the city and mountains. I think someone was in my apartment and I was talking to them about all the mountains in Korea or something.
The next part is when I got drafted. Some army people drove up to the apartment building in a jeep and made me come with them right away. I had to leave all my stuff at the apartment and I couldn't call anyone. We arrived at some base and they gave me fatigues, a helmet, and a big ass rifle (I remember the sights for the rifle were the same as this one in my cousin's Call of Duty game for psp). The dream kinda skipped ahead and I was in a big inflatable raft with a bunch of other Korean army guys and we were coming up on the American shore. I dont' know why Korea was at war with America or why I was committing treason, but I seemed to be fine with it. We got out of the boat and stayed low as we ran to some cover in these woods near the beach.
I don't know why but for some reason I lagged behind and by the time I got into the woods my unit was gone. I was looking for them everywhere but the woods had trails on them and regular Americans were hiking on them so it was super awkward trying to hide my rifle as I walked by them. They must have noticed but no one said anything. I followed this trail up to this building in the middle of the woods that had an observatory and a planetarium inside. Of course it was packed with people and things became even more awkward. I decided the best thing to do was run away and get home.
The next scene took place at home. I was wearing jeans and that t-shirt with the mexican riding a raptor, but I still had my rifle. Chloe and my dad were there and I told them I lost my unit. They weren't being helpful at all and it was pissing me off. I was looking for a number to call in Korea but all my papers had been dumped out of my backpack and were spread all over the dining room table. I got really frustrated looking through them all so I decided to say fuck it and just pretend the whole thing never happened. I don't remember anything else after that.

half forgotten lucid dream

I had a lucid dream this morning, and a really long one. But then I woke up and went back to sleep for 5 hours without writing anything down so I forgot most of it. That sucks.


I have no idea how this dream began anymore... so I'll just give the setting and what I remember. I was on my grandma's street, which is a big hill with a cul de sac at the top. My grandma lives on Long Island, but her street was in the middle of a big city with random suburban houses scattered here and there. Most directly near the street was a bunch of dark and scary looking factories and warehouses. It was mostly day time and warm during this dream except for one part where it was randomly night.
So I was hanging out with Karina, because apparently she lived on my grandma's street. Her house looked like Nina's house and her parents, probably since I've never met her parents, were Melissa Lowinger's parents (girl who went to middle school with me.) It was sunny when Karina and I left her house but by the time we walked to the warehouse area it was night out. Everything felt out of place as things often do in my dreams, but this dream was in first person so it was a little more convincing. When I dream in third person (majority of my dreams) I know the dream isn't real but I can't really control it. I told Karina something wasn't right but she just asked me, laughing, what I meant. As we continued walking I started hopping for some reason and on the last hop I didn't come down, I just stayed floating there. This is when I definitely became certain I was dreaming. Karina said something along the lines of "see you later" and I flew off into the sky, which was now day time.
When I was flying it wasn't like my vision was just moving through the sky, as if watching a movie from a camcorder mounted on a plane. I felt it through out my whole body. I felt like I had a body high as the warm wind blew against me. I got that feeling in my stomach you get when a rollercoaster drops from the top of a hill as I dove through the clouds. The whole experience was amazing. I landed on the roof of a house across from Karina's house, and her mom and her waved to me from their front door. I felt myself in my bed and that I was starting to wake up, so I tried my hardest to hold myself in the dream but it didn't work =(. Still that was a really fun dream.

sidenote: I've also noticed that I get the dropping feeling in my stomach sometimes in real life when I'm playing a video game and the character is falling from a mountain or something. As a little kid, at night I'd lie in my bed with my eyes closed and pretend my bed was flying. As the bed flew upwards or dove downwards, dipped to the left or right, I would feel the sensation in my body. It's crazy how much your imagination can affect your senses.

Justin is the Devil, Apparently

I had a crazy dream while oversleeping today! I even made sure to write some stuff down about it before going back to sleep for another 5 hours.

I was on the first floor of this giant house with Justin, Austin, Briana, Andrew, and Sean. I think there might have been more people there, but I only remember the people who talked in the dream. The first floor didn't have any rooms, it was all one gigantic room like a huge empty square. The ceilings and walls were all white, the floor was wood, and there were huge windows with white blinds. The house seemed to be in the middle of nowhere, no other buildings or even trees around it. Just flat land and mountains off in the distance.
At first it was day time, kinda cloudy and freezing outside. We were all talking about one thing or another when Briana yells "Guys its snowing outside!" and we all ran to one of the huge windows to see. I said that we should all put on snow gear and check it out. This is when the dream got freaky. Suddenly it turned to night and it was pitch black outside. Coming down slowly in the distance from the sky was this burning red object. We all ran to the window to see what it was. As it got closer to the ground we saw that it looked like the house we were in except floating down slowly from the sky and burning red. Justin suggested we should all run out to it and check it out and I said to him "What are you crazy?!". Then Austin gives me some sass about suggesting to go out just a couple minutes ago. Typical Sassquatch. A few seconds after I told Austin to shut up the floating, burning house hit the ground and caused this gigantic explosion, like a nuclear bomb. A shockwave started coming towards our house and I looked back at Justin in horror. He smiled and the color of his eyes changed from brown to red and he had like snake pupils. He disappeared in a puff of smoke, and when I looked back out the window the sky was red and rocks were showering down from the sky. However, the house protected us and no one really seemed scared. More like impressed, it was weird. Sean suggested we close the blinds to protect us from the rocks, so he and I tried but we couldn't get them to work. Andrew told us that his brother didn't get the blinds fixed yet. Apparently Andrew had a brother and we were in his house. Then I woke up, the end.
