Last night and the night before, I took 2 tablets of 3 mg melatonin. The first night/morning I noticed there was a lot of REM activity. Like, the last 4 hours of my sleep was REM and waking up every 30 or 10 minutes or so, and waking up out of dreams when there was a noise. Last night/morning, same situation, though it was like one really long continuous dream, and I would wake up with having been asleep for shorter periods. The long dream did not happen like I was asleep, woke up, fell asleep, and continued dreaming.

It began as if I were in the movie Hugo. I was with the main girl character, named Isabelle, though to begin I might have actually been here. I first remember walking with her through the plot of the movie (not the real plot IRL) and I knew everything that was going to happen. We were walking down a park street, under a brick bridge that was round and archy in the through-way. I knew what was next in the plot, so after we walked under it, on the other side on top of the bridge was a man, who looked like Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf, but in period attire for the setting of the film. (this man represented Melies, at first at least). And since I knew he was going to be there, I looked up and waved. He waved back. Soon I realize that this really wasn't like it was in the movie, it was me and Isabelle walking around and Hugo has not shown up. I remember in the dream thinking, "where is Hugo?"...and eventually realizing that the plot was not the same as the movie. This man, that looked like SIMcK, was now on the ground, off the bridge. I think I told him something like I know who you are, I don't really remember. (I wrote this down on a note after I woke up): I told him, that "I already know the end of the story". And I don't remember if this was something he said, or a realization of mine, but I wrote on the note...every time I (watch) it, the ending changes. (**I think this might have to do with life, every time I live a new life, the ending changes or it's not the same plot, so i don't know it**).

Next part of the dream I remember, I am out of thinking I am in the movie, and am in some type of real life. Isabelle was there still, as were a bunch of other girls age 11 or 12 or so (I do not know what age I was supposed to be). We were in a park type place still, but it was wooded with some largeish trees. I remember seeing what I thought was an eagle land on one of the trees, and I remarked it out loud. But when the 'eagle' left, I noticed the two long legs behind it, and realized the bird was a heron. Next I remember a heron, maybe this same heron, flying down to me and opening its wings, and embracing me. I think we danced for a little, its wings around me like a dance. It lasted maybe a minute in this dream-time, and the heron left. I felt good about it, the dance left me feeling good even if it was short. Next I remember going into a restroom-house type building, and I had my new green hoodie on and noticed some gooey stuff. I thought it was mud at first, from the heron's legs, but I think the consensus with the others in the restroom was that it was poo. In the mirror, it looked white on my hoodie.

The next part of the dream I remember, I was in a school. A large school, for kids younger than 13 I think. I don't remember much about this, but at some point I broke away. This whole part in the school is really foggy but it was a main part of the dream plot.

Next part, there was a race. These devices looked like little saucer sleds, with a vacuum pocket in between the top and bottom, like a cushion. We rode on them down a dirt road, the laws of gravity did not apply here. I started out with the race, but then I kept going down a bunch of other branching roads, alone. I don't remember my motive for doing this. I was in a rural area, on dirt roads, riding this saucer thing. I do remember that eventually my goal was looking for the "wizard", who was the SIMcK man from earlier in the dream. Turning down different dirt roads, I remember on one sign there was a list of locations, and the only one I could read was "Benzie County". I turned down a road I could not go farther on, until the only options were little path type roads on private farms. During this time and maybe a little before, there was a tornado way in the distance. I didn't know if I would be welcome whre I was at. I turned down the left, and it was a private farm. I remember being there and a rancher was doing something with cattle, and I remember he was driving a tractor that was like a false/mechanical bull. This machine had a tail that twitched like it was swatting at a fly. Either this guy didn't care if I was there, or he didn't notice me. But I did not get my answer. So I go back to the main road, cross it, and there is a largeish barn-type place that looks like it is used for meetings. I am told or I know that this is where "the wizard" is. I go in, no one is there. I look around a while. I get out, and the tornado is very close. I don't know what to do because I don't feel I belong anywhere or I am not "allowed" here. I walk down the road path by the barn to look for some cover. I remember seeing deer trying to get cover too. I har a voice saying something like, "you can stay with us" or be with us. It was a darker-skinned large woman. She and some other people were sitting outside under a large awning, attached to the barn. So, I sit with them. And, some others had metal walls, like a contraption to catch something large. And they caught, or harnessed, the tornado. I remember telling tis woman and the others how I got there, and about the little sled-cushion that I rode to get there (I don't remember when this happened in the order of the dream events). People were going up to the tornado. I was encouraged to, as well. I got in line. There was a girl who kind of cut in front of me, though it was a casual line. I was waiting for her to go, and she was looking at her friends who were "behind" me, and was hesitating, like she was wondering is she should go. I was ready, so I went. I was staring at the tornado. I knew my options, that some people put their hands in it. But I stood there in front of it, with my arms up a little and palms facing the tornado. In my note I rote "harnessing he power of a tornado"....its energy was being transfered to me through my palms. I remember in the dream feeling a "rush", like I was getting the power. it lasted maybe a minute or 2 in dream-time, and that was it. I went back to sit down with the women, and maybe this is when I talked to them about general stuff like the cushion. I didn't realize it as it was happening, but there was some "work" being done to me, I remember hands being passed over and around me, never touching me, and something with a pendulum. And then I knew the "work" was done, and that it had been done to me.

The last bit of the dream I remember, I was done with the work. There was a woman who looked to be a "head" of the 'work'. She said something like who is next, and my friend Mattie was next. He wasn't there in the dream at all...but she said something and the term "manigma". She asked a question, and the answer was "manigma". I don't know if it was the name of something or someone. And then I woke up from he alarm.
