MORNING OF APRIL 30, 2012
I remember being at the home I lived in as a teenager. Though I don't remember interacting with her, I know there was a fictional woman who lived next door. She was a cute, brunette single mother.
At one point I was in my car. I specifically remember listening to music as I drove. I suddenly remembered that I'd not packed any water for whatever trip I was taking, so I stopped at a convenience store to buy some bottles. Inside the store, I saw the neighbor woman again. She looked gorgeous in her outfit, and I remember especially noting her sexy black heels he was wearing.
Suddenly, I was walking through a mall with my dad and once again the brunette lady appeared. She was very distraught, and informed us that her son was missing. I vaguely remember we tried to calm her and help her look, but the memory is less clear here.
At some point, I came across a crazy old lady whose behavior was very much like the "crazy cat lady" from The Simpsons (minus the actual cats). I was trying to get away from her, but she somehow ended up in the passenger seat of a car I was driving, ranting all the way.
In a second dream, I was in a barbecue restaurant that was apparently run by the improv comedy troupe from whom I'm currently taking classes. The troupe leader was serving the food at a front counter, and another member was placing an order. I ordered a "barbecue and chicken finger sandwich". The food was good, and I asked "which restaurant does this stuff really come from?". My final memory is that I tried to write down the answer to that question on a scrap of paper, but somehow was having a very difficult time of it...

Logitech
MORNING OF APRIL 29, 2012
I kept seeing recommendations for a band called "Logitech" when I would log into Facebook. (I didn't recognize the name as being the same as the real life company that makes computer accessories.) All of the images associated with the Facebook ads for this band featured retro, 8-bit computer artwork.
Later, I saw my friend Eric along with the guys from the band he's in. They explained to me that, as an experiment, they'd created a different band called "Logitech". They wrote and recorded an entire EP in one session, and what I had thought were "ads" was actually Facebook trying to invite me to hear the live EP session they'd just created.

Wild Animals
MORNING OF APRIL 28, 2012
First I remember being at my grandmother's house with my cousins. I don't specifically remember my own supposed age in the dream, but they were definitely much younger, as we were in the days when we more frequently spent time there.
We were standing in the backyard looking off into the open lot beyond the chain-link fence. We suddenly noticed two bears up in one of the trees. The bears began to climb back down and we saw, just up above them, a wolf also beginning to descend the tree (the fact that wolves don't climb trees didn't seem to be important).
Initially this sight was just impressive to us because of the sheer unlikeliness of it. True to form, I was trying to snap pictures. Then we began to notice there were more and more wild animal nearby, so we ran back into the house.
Once safely inside, I remember looking out the widow into the backyard and seeing it filled with wild animals of all sorts! There were bears, wolves, various wild sorts of wild cats, etc.--a veritable zoo! All of the animals were at perfect peace with each other, despite their close and crowded proximity.
Finally, I remember something very bad happening. Either the animals suddenly turned on themselves, or people showed up and started killing them--something caused a sudden, violent bloodbath. It was so upsetting that it woke me up.
In another, obviously more pleasant dream I was supposedly at Disney World again. There was a new ride based on the Tangled/Rapunzel movie. I remember the queue was designed to look like you were slowly ascending Rapunzel's tower. The ride began with some sort of expository short film starring the characters. From the theater, you entered into the actual ride. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the ride itself was like once it began.

Costume Shopping
MORNING OF APRIL 27, 2012
I remember driving out of town to meet some friends one night in a little (fictional?) town. Once there, I can remember driving past a variety of shops and strip malls, and one very large facility that looked like a huge Victorian style house.
Ultimately I ended up in a store that sold Halloween costumes and supplies. For some reason my parents were there. There was a rack that sold nothing buy "Pee Wee Herman" costume suits in various sizes. My parents were each trying on one of these suits over their clothes, and were recommending that I should be Pee Wee for Halloween (I've actually considered this on past Halloweens, and was considering it again in the dream.)
Then I saw some accessories that I thought would make for a good "Woody from Toy Story" costume (another I once considered in real life). The next bit of the dream focused on me looking to see if I could find enough items to put that costume together successfully. I couldn't find an appropriate hat, but I remembered I'd seen a hat store on my drive into town, so I went to look at the hat store.
The inside of the hat store was basically like a maze or labyrinth, and it was impossible to find anything. One portion of the maze ended in a room that looked like a very stripped-down, basic version of a fast food restaurant--I think it was a Wendy's.
I think I did eventually find the hat portion of the store, but at this point my memory gets pretty vague.

The Hunger-ish Games
MORNING OF APRIL 26, 2012
I remember I was with a large-ish group of people and we were supposed to be taking part in big game of some sort. We split into two teams and ran off into the woods from two separate points. Each team was racing to reach some particular destination.
If opposing team members saw you as you ran through the woods, they'd try to catch you and tag you out. The goal was to reach the destination with the most surviving members. This game was actually being touted as being a tie-in to the Hunger Games craze. Like, getting "tagged out" was like you were a "tribute" who'd been "killed" in the arena.
It was pretty hectic and intense, running through the woods, trying to reach the destination as quickly as possible while trying to take the time to decimate the other teams numbers (and avoid being taken out at the same time). I remember a lot of close calls, running like crazy from opponents, but then I woke up.

Shirts and Shoes
MORNING OF APRIL 24, 2012
I was eating with someone, possibly my dad, at a mall food court. A little boy sitting at a nearby table was wearing a T-shirt with artwork of a colorful tree frog on it. I don't know why, the she shirt was really attention-grabbing.
Soon after, elsewhere in the food court, I saw a little kiosk which sold T-shirts with various animal prints like this one. The one I liked best had a chameleon on it. Again, I can't explain why I liked these shirts so, but I did. I don't think I ended up actually buying one, though.
I vaguely recall a part of the dream in which I was just walking through the rest of the mall by myself. I visited a couple of the shops, one of them being a music store, but I don't clearly recall anything that happened.
Eventually I ended up out in the parking lot. Some people a few yards away were having a loud argument which was quickly escalating into an actual fight. Suddenly a car driven by a couple of my friends (though I can't remember who) pulled up to the curb. They told me, "This looks like it's about to get out of hand--get in and lets go!" So I did, and we did.
A few minutes later my mom called me to ask where I was. I told her I'd already left the mall (apparently she was there, too). She told me it was too bad I'd left, because they were having a sale on athletic shoes in the store she was in, but it was about to close (in real life it's time for me to buy some new walking shoes for the track, and I've been putting it off).

Improvisational Trumpeting
MORNING OF APRIL 16 2012
In real life, as a few other recent dream entries will attest, I'm currently taking a level two improv comedy class hosted by a local troupe. In my dream, I was attending a performance by said troupe, only I was supposed to be taking part in it as well. This made me extremely nervous, as I rightly didn't feel prepared to put on a real show!
When I was called upon to appear in my first skit of the evening, I began it by pretending to be a trumpet player, first pantomiming the trumpet and then speaking in a Louis Armstrong type voice. One of my fellow classmates was in this scene with me, but I don't remember much more about it.
After my first scene, I took my seat next to the other players who weren't currently on stage. One of the girls and I got into a conversation about photography, which turned out to be a mutual interest. Then she began to talk to me about gardening, which was apparently another hobby.
