Two Quick Dreams, One Long Night, Dreamed 12-28-10

1) A guy I knew from elementary school was sleeping in my bedroom at my parents house while I was away from homw. He told me my closet was haunted. There was orange mist that turned green and was practicing opening my closet door. He said there was also something in my closet singing Christmas carols. I took my baseball bat and used it to threaten the things in my closet while I yelled at them. I couldn't find what was haunting the closet.

2) I was hanging around with a scary looking monster guy, sort of like in the 2nd Resident Evil movie. We were teleporting from town to town by touching an obelisk. Our objective was to shoot these guys wearing a specific red symbol. We ended up in small, dusty Mexican town where the citizens had to be careful what they said and did since they were constantly under surveillance. At that point in the dream I think we had already killed 3 symbol guys.

Protecting Their Identities, Dreamed 12-21-10

In this dream I was a little girl. I was over a neighbor's house in the basement with a list of names. The people on the list were all members of the Nazi party. The little girl who lived in the house was trying to get the list away from me so the authorities could have it. (She didn't disclose to me why she wanted the list but I knew anyway.)

She tried to trade me a gossipy, girly note in return for the list of names. I folded my list, tucked it into a notebook and said I didn't want to share. She accidentally let it slip that she knew what was on my piece of paper. I started screaming at her and yelling about the note. I was asking questions (still yelling) about how she knew and other specifics.

I ran out of the house (the neighbor's house was actually my parents house in real life). At the front door I pretended to be upset and crying that the other girl wanted the list. I said the other girl was mean to me.

I ran next door to my house and was greeted by my parents (who didn't look like my real parents) at the door. The dad had fire engine red hair and dark eyeliner. My parents were Nazis too. I handed him the list. He told me I did a good job and that we had to protect those people because they were careless.

Mom took me aside and said that if I gave the note to the authorities that she would be alright with it since she was sick of running.

Mystery Train, Dreamed 12-20-10

I was on a really slow moving train traveling through the woods with a community theater group. The sides of the train were open. A little girl fell off the train and face planted in the woods. When we went back to get her she was gone. Another little girl showed up claiming to be the other girl that had fallen off the train. The leaders of the theater group said it was our job to find the first girl. It felt like the whole thing had been planned.

I was larping in my parents' backyard with two friends. The game I was playing was following the rules of one of the actual games I play. I think we were still looking for the little girl though the two people with me weren't on the train.

There were two angry, real apes in the woods fighting with each other. We were too scared to venture near the apes. A game villain came out and attacked all of us. My character died first and was revived by one of my friends. His character died next and I covertly revived him and the other guy who had also been killed. We all played dead in a pile on the ground until the villain left. I couldn't remember my character's stats so we went in the house to use the computer and look them up.

Unsuccessful Audition and Sleepover , Dreamed 10-25-10

I was in a show that forced me to dye my hair black and orange.

I was about to audition for a scientific demo in my home town. I had watched some of the other demos taking place in the woods. I accidentally locked my keys and phone in my car. After realizing this I started looking for someone to help in my old high school (the dream building did not look like the actual building). I found my brother inside of the school and he let me use his phone so I could call someone and get a hold of another set of keys. He wanted me to get him some juice.

I never made it to the auditions. I then realized that my car wasn't actually locked so I drove back home. My bedroom was messy and in it was a male friend. I moved a pile a blankets aside and the cat crawled out of it. I also found my guinea pig and put him in his cage.

My friend wanted to stay over and sleep in my bed but I told him my dad would get mad. I set up a futon just in case. I went to ask my dad if my friend could stay on the futon in my room but he got really mad. He said that his suitcases were too heavy and had doubts. I told him that my friend was actually going to be sleeping on the futon but my dad wouldn't believe me.

Stadium Seats, Dreamed 12-16-10

I was in a house with a bunch of people. The room we were in was very open and furnished. In one of the walls was a garage door. A person drove their car into the carpeted room and almost backed out into the door after it closed. There was also someone riding around on a tricycle.

A classmate of mine (from elementary school) had gotten into trouble and was no longer allowed to drive. There was a group of small children lining up to go on a field trip. For some reason the classmate had to get in line and go with them. Since he is pretty short he blended right in.

After a little while I went looking for him. At this point I was no longer looking for my short classmate but my younger brother who isn't short by any stretch of the imagination. I went outside and noticed a bunch of people all walking in the same general direction so I followed. They were heading toward a stadium for what I assumed to be a football game. On my way I started singing "Bust Your Window" into a microphone that magically appeared in my hand.

The people were in the stadium were all hanging out and listening to music. I met up with a guy and girl and talked to them for a while. I told them I was looking for my brother and that I thought they'd be watching a football game. They both ended up following me back to my apartment.

My brother ended up in my apartment. He was holding a newspaper clipping. In it was a picture of him mid air leaping toward a person wearing a soft drink cup costume (think Shake from ATHF). He told me the story of how the picture was taken.

He was at an actual football game at a law school. He was sitting in the bleachers behind a club and in front of another large club of people all wearing navy blue shirts. When he turned around to look at the people behind him he notice the drink container guy all the way at the top of the bleachers. For some reason he decided it would be a good idea to march up there and launch himself at the mascot.

At this point the two people I'd met at the stadium had gotten bored and decided to leave. While they were going I told them to call me even thought I knew neither had my phone number.

Random Snippets, Dreams 12-14-10

I only remember a few random snippets from last night so here they are.

Snippet #1 - I was driving down a rural road in my car. To the left there were a series of ponds spaced several hundred yards apart. In the first I saw a large fish jump out of the water. It was 3 or 4 feet long and narrow. In the next pond another large fished jumped out of the water and landed on a big rock. It was maybe 30 or 40 feet long with the girth of a whale. It got stuck on the rock and had to wiggle itself back into the water. In the third pond there were giant ducks or geese or maybe swans. They were the size of a car and were attacking a police car.

Snippet #2 - I was at my parents house. A group of my friends and some assorted animals (including my two guinea pigs) were on the deck in the back yard. I came outside with a cucumber and a knife. I was slicing pieces of cucumbers and feeding them to the animals and the people.

Snippet #3 - At some sort of river or bay in NYC with my parents, brother and a friend. It was fenced in and there was a whole lot of garbage stuck up against a fence. We were trying to fish and swim in the water. We had to get on the island on the other side of the fence to do it. I remember feeling really disgusting being in the water. There was also a point in the dream when I tried to climb over the garbage and climb over the fence.

Dinner with Friends, Dreamed 12-7-10

This dream is proof I've been watching too much TV.

I was in an Indian restaurant. The tables were all situated at the end of large beds. The tables had these fancy green table clothes that matched the bed spreads. Sayid (from Lost) and Emma (from Glee) were having dinner together at one of the tables. There was sauce or food all over the bedspread next to their table. Every once and a while one of them would fling their food onto the bed.

A friend of mine from LARP was a wise talking tree (like in Pocahontas) in the middle of the restaurant. She winked at me and I pretend to be surprised to see here there as a tree.

There was an apple thing on the table. It was several apples of different colors (red, green, purple) squished and growing together. They were attached by the roots that grow out of potatoes. I pulled one apple out of the conglomeration and saw that the back of it was moldy.

Crafts, Dreamed 12-5-10

The people who used to live next door to my parents had renovated their house. They turned one end of it into a craft store. It was called 'In Out' (or something like that. There were red letters hanging over the entrance to the store.

My mom and I walked past the store to peek inside the window. They converted the carpeted floor to wood like you usually see on an outside deck. The bedroom they had converted was much smaller than the size of the craft store. We went inside to say hi. (I haven't actually seen the real people in years and that was reflected in the dream.)

There were a bunch of people in the house. I was introduced to the baby (which they don't actually have in real life) who was a few years old. I met their college age daughter who I haven't seen since she was in junior high. She told me she was majoring in algebra. I asked why algebra and she became confused. She said she only needed 3 more credits in algebra at the local community college to finish her freshman year.

She and I were sitting on a bench that overlooked what seemed like an endless body of water. It has buildings and infrastructure in it like a city had sunk partway into the water but it was absolutely stunning. My section of the bench lifted off and flew through the city several yards above the water. I could see that there were creatures swimming around in the water. When the seat got too close to the water, on the return trip, the creatures started jumping out of the water. I was sitting with my legs straight out in front of me.

Something that looked like leeches were jumping out of the water and attaching to my legs. I tried to shake them off and got most of them. I was taken past another area where different creatures were swimming and got pretty freaked out. I willed myself to just fly the rest of the way back on my own without the seat.

When I returned we were no longer looking at water but were at the end of a hallway in some sort of shopping mall/office type building. There was a bench set into the wall so whatever was down the hall couldn't see us.

Hidden Pregnancy, Dreamed 12-3-10

I was in a grocery store with my parents. During the dream I was aware that I was very far along in a pregnancy but it wasn't showing (when it should have). My mom said I was 'holding the baby in' and 'wasn't letting it show.' I tried to relax and allow the baby to drop down to the normal position. It had been residing in my chest right below the rib cage.

I was wearing white and green stripped shorts. My lower back was bleeding and the blood soaked through the shorts. My mom noticed it while we were in the grocery store. Throughout the dream I was filthy and bleeding and didn't make any effort to shower or change.

I was in an apartment using the bathroom. There was a door with a large window on the opposite side of the room. A man came up to the door and tried to get in. I ran across the room and locked the door but no matter what I tried I couldn't keep it locked. He was yelling and screaming about something to me.

Playtime With Hitler, Dreamed 11-29-10

Hitler was in the basement of my parents house playing with action figures. They weren't normal action figures, they were evil action figures. He would cover up the window in the room (there isn't actually a window since the basement is below ground level) with some wood wrapped in fabric, instead of pulling the curtains or blinds shut.

I passed my brother on the stairs. He was bringing Hitler another armful of dolls. I asked him what he was doing and he shushed me and told me to get away while I still could.

Hitler and his followers (a fairly small group of people) were organizing on my front lawn. While he was distracted a group of mothers snuck away. I was getting the vibe that people were becoming uncomfortable around him.

I can't remember the rest of the dream but I do have the following written in my journal as part of this dream: Pick up packages in cages w/ crawly stuff. Hole in wall, peanuts.

Alien Impersonators, Dreamed 11-27-10

I was walking through a crowd of people and thought that I spotted two aliens, one green and one gray. I yelled and pointed at them and they ran away.

I was hanging out by a bridge over a stream with a small group of people. I don't remember what we were doing but it was some type of game or role playing activity. Out of nowhere the aliens showed up and captured us, tying everyone up. I tried negotiating with them, explaining the 'game' my friends and I had been playing and offering to let them play.

It turned out that they were people in alien costumes. The faces, from the beginning, looked like cheesy alien masks.

For the Birds, Dreamed 11-20-10

I was LARPing with some friends in either a parking lot or a vacant lot. A group of NPCs entered with a flock of crows. One of the guys retreated with the birds by actually flying away. I asked his girlfriend if he was actually flying (since it was a pretty amazing feat) and she said yes. She mentioned that the birds were flying too high and he didn't like it.

Another wave of NPCs came to fight. They were dressed like jesters and were lined up against a building. There was a guy there I'd met once who I didn't particularly like. He refused to take damage and accused me of cheating even though he was cheating. There was another guy next to him who was also being a jerk.

Old Friends, Dreamed 11-20-10

I was hanging out with some friends of mine from elementary school. The person whose house we were at was on wooden stilts. The basement was built around the stilts but was not flush against the house. There was a gap of several feet between the basement wall and the wall of the rest of the house so that you could sit on the edge, dangle your legs into the basement and see into it. One of the guys was in the basement. He threatened to suck someone's ear into his nose as a punishment for something.

Shuttles, Dreamed 11-18-10

I was with a coworker and someone else I didn't recognize. This unknown person and I were launched in a 'space ship' into a body of water by my coworker. The vessels we were in were small and not enclosed, they were more like ejector seats. I held my breath and my senses blacked out, I thought that maybe I drowned. The other person and I ended up in some underwater dome/lab alive.

At some other point in my dream i was sitting on top of the Saturn V rocket. It was enclosed in a really tall narrow dome. At the bottom of the dome were a bunch of people. The rocket was tipped to the side slightly, leaning against one of the walls of the dome. I was afraid I was going to fall off and plunge to my doom. The people below were trying to help by steadying the rocket.

Mice, Dreamed 11-14-10

I was a little girl with a white mechanical mouse that my mother hated. I puked near a vacuum cleaner, apparently I was always getting into some sort of trouble. The mechanical mouse turned into a real mouse. I brought it near the vacuum and it seemed to be perfectly fine. The mouse had turned black. I gave it a belly rub.

I was in a field with the mouse picking grass. He was looking for a very specific type, it had a strange name. The mouse said this particular type of grass tasted bad. A few other people and I were helping.

I brought some of the grass into a building to give to the professor. I wasn't wearing a shirt and I was no longer a little girl. The university and the people looked like something out of the 1800s. At this point the dream was sepia toned.

The professor was taking orders for luggage from the students to keep their books in. I looked at some of the examples he kept on the shelf in his office. There were a bunch of guys in the office picking up their luggage or placing orders.

I went back downstairs so I could put a shirt on. A friend of mine was sitting on my bed (which was in the middle of a common area) chatting with me. We discussed how it was easier to set an alarm 1.5 hrs before having to be somewhere and hitting the snooze for a half and hour rather then setting it for 1 hour before needing to be somewhere and having to get up right away. He had ordered a really flowery purple bag for his books, not typically what you'd see a guy carrying. He said it was Russian.

I went back upstairs to place my luggage order with the professor now that I had a shirt on. There weren't enough stairs to get into the room, just a big gaping hole. It was difficult getting back into the room. As I was trying to get through the door he started asking me questions. I think he asked what inspired me. I replied that I inspired myself to dream.

A Day At the Park, Dreamed 11-5-10

I was in a park with my parents. We were holding these hand held helicopter blades. They looked like hairdryers but with a blade about a foot in diameter surrounded by a pretty big fan shroud. They did the same thing as a jet pack would, personal propulsion. We were using ours to fly around the park. There were other people watching us and asking questions.

There was a kiosk in the park (kinda like a newspaper stand) where my dad kept some of his collection of toy planes. He found out that someone had been taking pictures of them and posting them online. He took their business card from the kiosk owner so he could contact them and complain.

My helicopter jet pack somehow got all soapy and wouldn't work anymore. I was trying to shake the soap out of it.

We were under a tree that had tarantulas and weird organic growths hanging from it. I freaked out and made dad take them off the tree. There was one growth very deep within a branch, it had to be dug out.

Transportation Woes, Dreamed 11-5-10

I was admitted into surgery because I was starting a new job. I didn't know what they were operating on until the surgery was over. Luckily they fixed some of my back problems. My mom wanted to take a plane home from State College by going through the Philly airport (Philly is still a 2ish hr drive away from home whereas driving from State College directly to home would be faster). I told her that didn't make any sense and we ended up driving. We watched the plane we would have taken take off. It was airborne for a few minutes than it landed on the interstate and started driving.

Larp Dodgeball Nipple Putty, Dreamed ??-??-??

The entry in my journal for this dream was "Larp dodgeball nipple putty." Luckily that was enough to jog my memory and remember the dream.

I was in my house with a bunch of my larp friends. We were playing dodgeball. One of the players was extracting green putty from his nipple and using is as a dodgeball projectile. There was no sense of side versus side, just a bunch of ppl throwing stuff at each other.

Wedding Presents, Dreamed 10-16-10

I was attending a wedding with my family. I can't remember how I was related to the couple but I'm assuming they were family since my parents and I were obligated to leave gifts for them during the ceremony. The groom had introduced himself to me as I was making my way up to the front of the church.

Several ppl lined up to present their gifts to the couple in the church by leaving it on the raised area in front of the building and saying what it represents. The wedding party left a series of oval shaped dishes with random stuff in there. The dishes were supposedly some traditional gift. My dad went up completely naked except for a cloak and mooned the audience. He said it was revenge against someone in our family. When he said what his gift was I didn't believe he'd do it but he did. I went up shortly after with a small, brightly painted chair. It had an empty candle holder and a few other random things hanging off of it. I said my gift represented happiness, creativity and a healthy dose of insanity. It didn't seem like they were as amused with their gift as I was.

Never Seen the Bride, Dreamed 9-13-10

I was getting married to a man I've never met. The wedding started out at my parents house as a wedding for several couples. There was a structure in my room that was shaped and painted like a chimney. It ended up behind the house so the brides could stand on it. There were 3 or 4 brides on the roof.

When it was my turn to be married the wedding ended up at another location. My mom called while I was waiting in the lobby of the venue, she told me she was waiting at an elementary school for me. I told her to come to where I was NOW!

There were a bunch of people, especially little kids in the dressing room. The kids were running around and eating all of the candy.

While I waiting for my cue I bumped into my fiance. I had no memory of ever meeting him before but he was cute and I got good vibes from him so I went through with the wedding. His name was Vinny and he was from a big Italian family. It was a BIG Italian wedding since both of our families were Italian. The wedding took place on Halloween and all of the food was appropriately festive.

He and I snuck outside. It was cold out and there was snow on the ground. We stood in the warm exhaust of an A/C unit. We chatted for a bit. There was a cat watching us. When we went back his family started making jokes about the wedding night. They were convinced he was still a virgin though apparently he was not.

I started to think that maybe we had known each other before the wedding but I couldn't quite remember.

Dorm Life, Dreamed 8-15-10

I was in a dorm style building washing my face in the bathroom sink. I was standing between 2 sinks with my butt resting on one while using the other. An old guy came by to use the sinks but started making lewd comments towards me. I told him how rude he was and I walked back towards my room. He followed me trying to think of replies to was I had said to him. He met another guy along the way and they started yelling at each other. They faced off in a knife fight. After a while they decided it would be better to team up and go after me. I ran back to my dorm and locked the door. I jumped into my roommates bed and told him what had happened.

Zombie Night, Dreamed 8-12-10

I was with four other people. We all blanked out for a while and when we came too again I was separated from the group. I was wandering around through trashed streets and they ended up in a house. I was trying to avoid being seen by the zombies so I walked along the river for a while. I felt like I was trying to make it to Venice, Italy because a scientist told my friends to go there. The zombie hoard had just started so things hadn't plunged into total chaos yet.

I saw an apartment building and climbed the steps to the roof. There was a guy there (the actor who played Boone from Lost) laying on the roof. He was covered in black dust, not his clothes, just his skin. I asked why he was so filthy but he couldn't remember the answer. We started wrestling. He kept making us stop so he could get more comfortable and then we would start wrestling again. He stopped again and sort of blanked out. I realized he was turning into a zombie so I got out of there fast. He tried to follow me but I snuck away.

I walked into a house full of Italian people eating dinner. Half of the men were wearing the crest of one family and the other half were wearing the crest of the other family. The Boone zombie followed me in but I hid and he eventually left. The mass invasion made it to the house. There was a woman upstairs in a canopy bed. Water was pouring through the roof. On the main floor zombies were coming into the dining room. They all got bold and the lady upstairs thrust a pole through the window, breaking it so the water could get back out. The people downstairs started fighting back with similar poles. At some point I turned into the Alice character from Resident Evil.

Back at the house where my friends were... People were using it as a refuge. It was a brick house with a few steps up to the from door. Inside right as you walked through the front door was a fancy staircase to the second floor. There were lots of windows. The survivors would drive up to the front and we'd let them in. We would also fight off the zombies from inside of the house. Occasionally we would go out to the grocery store.

The streets were crawling with zombies. There were a few dead dead zombies in the house. At one point they started to reanimate. There was a group of people wearing the same t-shirt, a team of some sort. One of the girls managed to get tangled up with one of the reanimated zombies. We had to re-kill them and the girl.

Some people started becoming very selective of the people we were letting in but I made sure we let all non-zombies in the house. Everyone was hiding upstairs while I stayed downstairs with a few other ppl to man the door.

Can't Run Can't Hide, Dreamed 8-10-10

I was in my parents house with a group of people. We had some sort of plan to discuss that was very unpopular with the people outside of the house. I think we had money or items that we were divvying up.

We started locking the doors. People were surrounding the house. They were pressed up against every window (even the second story ones) and door. I was nervous during the negotiations and I kept trying to hide where they couldn't see me but they could see me everywhere.

Something happened allowing people to start piling into the house. I went into my bedroom with one of the people from outside. We were looking in my closet. He spotted four stuffed animal Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle wrapped in plastic. The dolls didn't have the colored eye bandannas. I gave him one of the dolls because I was afraid of what he'd do if I didn't.

Leisurely Day Trip, Dreamed 7-30-10

I was really in a hurry to get somewhere in my car. I was driving through a road that was under construction. There was only a skinny strip of drivable road amidst the bigger mess. The road collapsed and my car was stuck in a big pile of rubble. I got out and pulled the car free of the pile like it was a toy car.

I was driving in a parking lot. Another person I knew was also in a hurry and I offered them a ride. I couldn't find him anymore so I started driving up the ramp and out of the lot looking for him. He started chasing the car so I let him in.

I was sitting in my parents' driveway in the backseat of another car. My good friend was meeting some strange guy so a couple of car loads of people were going with her. A guy (bit of an oddball) I went to school with was also part of the gang. We ended up at a restaurant/charitable organization. My friend somehow transformed into a different female friend.

We started eating at the restaurant. The food was great. The building started getting really crowded. My friend left to use the bathroom and came back with more food. She starts pigging out and admits to sneaking back into the kitchen. The restaurant was so crowded she said she had to sneak in through the back.

I got up to go to the bathroom. It was huge! There were drawers under the sink filled with makeup. A girl in the bathroom was looking for a portable mirror. Another girl in the bathroom must have been 9 feet tall. Outside of the restaurant I was introduced to the tall girl and her normal sized sister.

Now my dream took me to a warehouse/factory. The place was really clean and bright inside. There was a person in there surrounded by fake feet with all different shades of toenail polish. It was part of a game to guess which feet were real. There was another game similar to the foot game but it had fake hands holding colored glass beads.

Surprise Baby, Dreamed 7-29-10

I had a baby with a friend of mine. There was no pregnancy or birth, the baby just appeared. I took care of it like I would a guinea pig. I kept it in a pig cage and would leave it alone for hours on end. It's name was Colbert.

Someone suggested to me putting it up for adoption when I told them I didn't want the baby. The first time I tried to go to the adoption agency it was closed. When I went again there were a bunch of people there. There was a strange woman who looked like she was trying to persuade the clerk to give her a baby. Other people were complaining about the strange woman.

New Pets, Dreamed 8-10-10

I was looking into buying a pet. I still had my guinea pig but I wanted a dog. The dog I found was a cross between a pug and a pekineses mix, it had a ridiculous breed name. (I'm not sure if it actually looked like the mixes in real life but my dream dog was adorable)

My brother also had a guinea pig in the dream that he kept in a cage with a floppy eared goat. He wasn't taking very good care of his pets so I was hoping he wouldn't also try to get another one. I had the impression that his goat was mean.

Grad School Reject, Dreamed 8-10-10

I was at my house with a guy I haven't seen since elementary school. He had gotten 3 letters in the mail from different graduate schools he applied to. They were small, yellow and slightly transparent. He asked me to read them to him because he was too nervous. At one point he changed his mind and asked to hold them. I told him he would be able to see through the envelope and read what it said.

At the time I was convinced by what I saw through the envelops that he was accepted to at least one of the schools. He re-changed his mind and I opened the letters. The first letter was a flat out rejection. The second said 'maybe' and the third, from Georgetown his top choice, said maybe and cited administrative errors for not saying yes. I told him he should contact them to straighten things out.

Date Night... Or Not, Dreamed 8-9-10

I was supposed to go on two separate dates with two separate boys whom I haven't talked to since elementary school. I was getting ready so I looked into my closet to choose a dress. All of the dresses had faces on the front and an outline of a woman's butt wearing a thong on the back (like these t-shirts).

I wound up missing the date with boy #1 and I was really upset about it. I saw him playing a casino game surrounded by girls when someone told him I missed our date. He wasn't too upset. The man who was supposed to be boy #1 didn't actually look like him.

I passed out before my date with boy #2 and missed that one too. When I woke up I made my female friend call a male friend of mine from college to tell him I was alright. She had just taken a shot of alcohol. When she was on the phone with him I knew he was drunk by what I could hear him say and because I could smell the alcohol on my female friend's breath.

Department Store Super Hero, Dreamed 7-26-10

I was dressed like a superhero and my counterparts were dressed like Batman and Robin. We were in a department store. Our costumes were very shabby. I had a weapon that looked like a cat-o-nine-tails with big thick metal chains (instead of leather or rope) and large round metal pieces attached at the end.

I was walking through the store destroying things with my weapon. There was another, larger, group of superheros roaming around in the department store. I realized that my team used to have more people on it but they had been captured by the other group of superheros. I snuck into the stairwell to see where the other team was. When I saw them I remembered that I used to be on their team.

Running Errands, Dreamed 7-23-10

I was at the end of a line of a bunch of people. We were in the woods, it was a very LARPy setting. I was holding hands with my travel buddy. We had fallen behind the group and he started running to catch up, pulling me along. We found some of the other people rummaging through the garbage looking for dimes. They were ignoring all of the other change in the trash.

I was in a restaurant, I'd ordered shrimp and hush puppies. The people I was with decided that we needed to get into the back door of the kitchen because there was a portal to another universe in there. We went back into the restaurant and kicked a few people out of their booth so we could sit there. Since it was a 6 person table we called over a few more people to join us to fill up the booth. A woman asked me about my LARP props and costuming.

Adam Sandler and a large African American rapper were driving around in a pickup truck dressed like the Little Rascals. The rapper was riding around in the bed of the pickup. They were driving around trying to accomplish something to do with the portal in the back of the restaurant. They were talking to other people about it but when they wouldn't listen the rapper would start talking in his real voice to scare them.

Prime Real Estate, Dreamed 7-21-10

I was looking for a place to live and found what I thought was the perfect house. It was 3 floors but didn't have any bedrooms. On the main floor, in the center of the room, was an island couch with very uncomfortable looking cushions. That is where my 3 housemates and I were supposed to sleep. We were often visited by aliens while we were sleeping. The window would light up and I would try to block it from my site by looking at the window from behind a pole or column.

Religious Omens, Dreamed 6-23-10

I was in a car with a priest. We were talking about something, it felt very urgent; the dream almost had a doomsday quality to it. I told him I might need to check out the basement of the church. He replied that he might have to check out the basement of the church too.

In the basement there were characters, Chinese or some other character based language, on the wall that were supposed to have some religious significance. The priest said he might have to look at those characters too. We were looking at a collection of glass panes. They were textured and covered in religious drawings. I was under the impression that the drawings were supposed to move or change but the majority of them were still. The priest and I felt that it was a bad sign.

He or another priest gave a sermon. Some of the words in his speech were lyrics from on of my favorite (yet obscure) songs. I wanted to play the song for him so he could hear the similarities. In order to play the song I had to take a check out of a checkbook and slide it into some device. The device looked liked a grinding wheel with a plastic cover over it. I was supposed to insert the check between the wheel and the plastic cover. I was having a hard time because the check had become wet and dirty. Part of it had also been ripped before someone eventually helped me insert the check into the machine.

The priest was amazed at how similar the song was to his sermon. Before I could say anything else to him he walked into a near by buffet restaurant. I followed him in after a few minutes. I passed by a lot of people as well as a giant larva in a baby carrier.

LARPing Artists, Dreamed 6-16-10

I haven't posted dreams for a while... It's been crazy with the move and starting my job soon. I also haven't been sleeping too well which makes it hard to wake up in the morning and remember my dreams. I figured it is time to start at least entering the older dreams that I'd written down. Hopefully when my body gets into a new routine I'll be able to write a few more dreams down...


I met up with some of my friends from LARP who were all working on their respective art projects. One girl was working on a painting, her canvas has a penis painted on it. Another girl was wearing old fashioned clothing writing in a diary made of parchment paper.

Two of the guys were filming a movie. One had captured a big fat adorable black and white bunny. He also had a pelican that was wearing a costume made of feathers taken from another bird. I pet the pelican. He told me that he was having a hard time competing with the bunny.

One of the guys brought the bunny out to where I was talking to the pelican. We were in a courtyard with a bunch of stone statues scattered around.

I was in my house (which wasn't actually my house) when I noticed that the side basement door was open. I snuck in and saw one of the guys who was filming the movie. He was painting on a canvas stretched over a PVC pipe frame. I told him he didn't have to break in to the building, I would have let him in.

Back to School, Dreamed 6-28-10

I was at a school in Maryland for summer classes. It was sort of a performing arts school but not in a traditional sense, it is hard to explain. I was flying (like a superhero) through the campus. It was like an amusement park, there was a roller coaster and the big swings.

I got to the class; there were 2 rows of folding chairs set up. We were watching one of the students perform. She was in the center of a carousel. Instead of horses there were people standing against the poles where the horses should be. She did some sort of dance/lip syncing routine. She didn't get very far into the routine, claiming that it was all she had learned. She also blamed the people on the carousel for screwing up their part… which was just standing against the poles.

After the show a few of the professors came by to welcome us to the school. We were inside of a building now. The professors were taller than normal people, maybe 7 or 8 feet tall. One was wearing a smoking jacket. He said we could stay in his room anytime we wanted. His room was like a lobby in one of the campus buildings. His bed was a fancy, older looking couch with a red and gold paisley pattern. I told him that that was inappropriate. One of the other teachers who didn’t like smoking jacket guy was happy that someone spoke up against the other teacher. He went away to check if students were allowed to stay in the other teacher’s room and found out that they were allowed.

My boyfriend and I got really mad and started lecturing the other students. We were telling them how very few of them would actually work in the performing arts and that they should get useful degrees like engineering like he and I had. The teachers and other students weren’t really happy with us.

At some point he and I were in another location and there was a wooden shack. They fired a cannon and the building collapsed. We put the building into cloth bags (like the ones the cloth lawn chairs come in). It was in the form of a bunch of connected poles.

Hatching, Dreamed 6-14-10

I was in the backyard of my parents house with 2 boxes. One box was full of tiny caterpillars and the other was filled with newt eggs. I was taking care of them until the caterpillars transformed and the newts hatched.

Eventually the caterpillars transformed into tiny butterflies and few away. The newts also hatched. They were more angular looking then actual newts. While I was tending to the creatures there were a bunch of people outside at a party.

In the dream I finally saw what I looked like, I was a 2 or 3 year old blond boy. My dad had to change my diaper.

A Trip to London, Dreamed 5-30-10

I flew to London with a group of people from school. We were at a bar and I was trying to figure out what to drink. I ordered a New Castle (which is actually a delicious English beer). The bartender stuck a sticker on the glass and almost poured the wrong beer. He said the cost was $3, I gave him $4 including a tip. The bartender yelled at me, he sad that 'We don't tip here!'.

There was some sort of war (Civil war style) reenactment going on that my friends and I kept getting stuck in the middle of. The first wave of one of the armies were dressed similar to Wookie costumes. We kept having to hid or run away so we wouldn't get attacked. At one point we were chased into a bathroom stall and threatened by one of the participants. We eventually met up with some of the other people we came to London with, they were dressed in all sorts of crazy costumes, none of which resembled any sort of war appropriate/military uniform. Three of them were dressed like pear shaped whoopee cushions.

We were standing near the field where the two armies were facing off. First someone announced the opponents of the actual war. Then they announced the opponents of the silly wars. One of them was 'Revenge of the Sith' and 'Return of the Jedi'. They were all dressed in Star Wars costumes. The two sides would stand up and the people from the previous war would sit down. One of the teams was called and dressed like 'Toy Story'. There were a few other match-ups that I couldn't remember.

Cannibal Sandwiches, Dreamed 4-29-10

My mom, Chef Lou (a local celebrity chef) and a bunch of other random people were living in my house. They were running a very successful, very famous establishment selling human lunch meat. My dad and I were living somewhere in the woods behind my house.

People were requesting that my dad get a hold of some of that famous human deli meat. We would sneak into our house, open up the meat storage and steal slices of it. The meat was stored in a table with 2 round doors on top. Sometime people would request meat made from specific people or parts of people.

We almost got caught on our latest attempt. Chef Lou kept coming into the room while we were taking the meat. At one point he was boxing, there was a boxing rink in the same room as the meat storage table. I keep trying to hurry my dad up.

We were talking to mom on the back deck of the house. She told us that Chef Lou refused to keep producing his deli meat because he suspected we were stealing it. Lots of people were very upset about the refusal to continue making the meat.

My dad wanted to discuss the issue with Chef Lou but I told him no. He said he wanted to show Chef Lou a shirt of his. I was afraid to let my dad be alone with Chef Lou. We left and returned to our hideout in the woods.

Dean Cook's Assistant, Dreamed 6-16-10

I was Dean Cook's assistant and my job was to fill the machines that you put a quarter in to get a piece of junk toy (or candy). I was in a hotel room and was having a hard time for whatever reason. I made a huge mess and was very flustered. I realized he was trying to spy on my through my phone so he could make fun of me. I keep turning off the phone so he wouldn't see what a mess I made.

I started mumbling to myself how all he ever does is use me as comic material.I was mad that he would never help me accomplish something, just make it more difficult so he could laugh at it. I then noticed that he was in the bathroom mopping the floor, helping me clean the hotel room. I pretended I didn't notice he was there since he was actually helping for once. I called the company that filled the machines to place an order.

He came out of the bathroom and stood by while I ordered toys for a crane type game that were boy scout themed. It had pocket knives, utility stuff, toy mazes, and woodsy stuffed animals (like snakes and squirrels and stuff).

He was now a little kid with a bunch of other little kids trying to win things out of the crane game.

Just Like the Movies, Dreamed 3-21-10

Me and another person were trapped in a house with a bunch of evil people. We both had a 'percent' (kind of like a stat in a video game) that would slowly decrease. When the percent reached a certain level the people would start terrorizing and torturing us. To bring the percent back up the other prisoner and I would have to touch. I can't remember exactly what they would do to us but it was gory and sick.

I went into the basement with the other prisoner. She found and followed a mysterious wire. It led to a box filled with some sort of gross 'food' that we knew was for their leader. That was when we realized that these captors were not human.

We tried to escape but they caught us at the front door. There was someone driving by outside and we yelled for help. The leader (who was Betty White) came out of the house.

The dream replayed again but this time we realized that were were all actors in a movie but the cast kept changing every time it replayed. At one point Sandra Bullock was the other prisoner and Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz were both the leader of the creatures.

One of my good friends and my boyfriend were with me in my room at my parents house. The room was set up like it used to be when I was little. We were rehearsing for this movie. My boyfriend was playing my friend's dad. He told us his character was having a heart attack. I jumped on top of him and said I was applying heart compression. My friend called 911 and they eventually came and took away her real dad. On his way out of the house with her dad and the paramedics we saw the leader of the beings that has trapped us at the beginning of the dream. We tried to expose him to the outside world. We had to get to the outside to be saved.

After the movie my boyfriend told me he didn't like the movie. I told him that I liked it.

Screen Door, Dreamed 3-12-10

My mom was mad about the new glass that was installed in the front screen door. The glass was so thin it was like a piece of plastic wrap. She was so mad that she threatened to call her parents in Italy and complain about the new glass.

Germany Apartment, Dreamed 3-11-10

I was living in an apartment in Germany but I didn't know anyone there. The apartment was filled with a whole bunch of LARPy props. I was wondering how I was going to get the rest of my LARP stuff to Germany.

The window in my bedroom had a hole in it and a pipe sticking through it. It was raining and the water was running down the pipe, through the window and onto my bed. I tried to move it but I couldn't because I was afraid to accidentally open the value on the pipe allowing more water to come through it.

Elephants in the Attic, Dreamed 6-8-10

I was in an attic filled with rows of book shelves. There was also an elephant in the attic. The elephant was chasing me around while I tried to hide from it. Needless to say a stampeding elephant caused a lot of damage to the room. I got the feeling that the elephant was very nice and felt sorry for the destruction that he caused.

When we left the attic a group of gnomes started rebuilding it. The attic was completely removed and they had started with the wooden frame.

I was in a downstairs room of another building with a large group of people. They reminded me that I was supposed to go on a date with Daniel Radcliffe. It was really awkward since I had forgotten. He started to tell me what we would be doing tomorrow. We sat on stools next to each other at a long dining room table while other people wandered around making (good humored) noises and comments about the two of us being together.

Musical Numbers, Dreamed 6-7-10

I was watching a performance taking place in a huge glass enclosed auditorium. It wasn't quite like a normal auditorium, there were no seats for the audience, just a big glass wall to look through. The performers were stacked in rows that were vertically arranged, attached to the back wall. They were either puppets or children dressed like puppets. There were also infants placed on the ground wearing the same sort of outfits. It was understood that the infants had been recruited to be in the troupe when they were old enough. They performed a few songs but the only one I remembered was "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred. Later on in the dream another group of people played a large instrumental number in the same place. The performers were all humans and all dressed in white.

Another Planet, Dreamed ??-??-??

This was a really strange dream I had years ago but it has always stuck with me.

I was on the front steps of a building waiting for the bus to pick me up to go to a strip club. The bus pulled up and all of the people in it looked sickly and miserable. Someone mentioned that their appearance was a result of being on another planet without oxygen for 2 hours. I got on the bus and was brought to a skyscraper in the middle of a city somewhere.

In the building there was a line going up the stairs to the top floor. A friend of my was tending to the door to the movie theater on the top floor. Another friend and I went into the theater to watch the show. I can't remember what movie was playing, but it wasn't a normal movie. During the show I could see someone wheeling a cart into the corner of the front of the room.

They paused the show and turned the lights back on and asked for a volunteer to come up of the front by the person with the cart. The person who wheeled out the car held up a brown piece of material and then swished it around in a big bowl of water on the cart. He told us that it was now sulfuric acid. He then grabbed the volunteer and shoved their face into the bowl.

When they shut the lights off and turned the movie back on they were preparing some other sort of demonstration in the front of the room. My friend and I were scared as to what they wanted to do and quietly got up and left.

In the lobby we realized that we were locked in and that the building was starting to shake. It was about to launch and take us to another planet. She and I began to panic, the feel of the dream at this point was frantic. We took the receptionist's newspaper and threw it at the door to break the glass. She was mad that we ruined her newspaper so we threw a bunch of money at her to replace it. My friend and I escaped and rode bikes through the city to get out. There was a lot of road construction going on at the time.

Twilight Vampires, Dreamed 3-9-10

I swear, I've never seen a Twilight movie or read the books ever ever in my life, I guess I just know about it from all of the talk about it.

The dream was Twilight-esque. The main characters from the movie all seemed to be there. We were in the woods hanging out and talking but our activities weren't being video recorded. Some of the people were vampires and some were the shape-shifting animals. I gave Robert Patterson a nosebleed when I accidentally kicked him.

We were in a banquet hall and were ordered to move all of the chairs to the wall of the room. Only the girls were doing the work while the guys were just sitting and watching. The head of my department at school was there handing out thank you cards so that we could fill them out and distribute them. He also told me to pick up my gum box from the store. I had a book and a pin attached to me.

Zombies, Dreamed 3-9-10

Zombies were taking over the world. In order to stop them you had to cut the power to the building they were in then you had to injure them. I was in my house and there was a box of frozen meat that they were trying to get at. I was having a hard time finding something sharp or heavy enough to kill the zombies. At another point in my dream I was not in my house but fighting zombies at various other locations.

Spring Cleaning, Dreamed 3-5-10

Sometime it's tough to read my dreams after I write them down first thing in the morning and sometimes they can seem pretty delirious. I thought I'd share one particularly entertaining dream entry, a direct quote...

"Arnold Schwarzenegger chases us. Peeing on things. Comic strips."

Ok... now onto the Spring Cleaning dream.

I was with a bunch of children and other young people on a flight of stairs. The person closest to the bottom had a shovel to take the sand and remove it from the stairs. The rest of us had other tools to clear the stairs off more, like brooms. We would advance farther down each step to clean them.

There were a bunch of men in the room. One was telling us to clear off the stairs. There was also an old Chinese man man handing out jelly beans. They weren't just jelly beans though, they had some sort of strange properties.

While we were cleaning off the stairs, one of the kids fainted and turned into a wax doll. There was a section of floor that the men wanted us to clear off. It felt like an ancient burial ground. We didn't want to clean it based on what just happened to the other kid. Someone threw the jelly beans. There was an evil, unsettling atmosphere in the room.

Public Restrooms, Dreamed 11-3-09

I was at a public restroom that boasted a 'quick and automatic toilet system.' In order to use them you needed to buy a ticket. First you had to wash your hands and dry them by shaking hands with the hand dryer. In the stall there were instructions. The toilet would allow you to go and then wait for a certain color change before it flushed. I was too nervous to pee so I left. Afterward the person I was with wanted to buy another ticket to use the restroom.

Soccer and Snakes, Dreamed 4-23-09

I was part of a professional soccer team and lived with one of my teammates. This particular teammate had a pet snake. The snake could walk like it had legs by twisting itself into loops and 'walking' like each loop was a leg. The snake cage (which was more like an open cardboard box) was right next to my bed. I was mad at my roommate because the snake would sometimes get under my covers.

I quit the team so that I wouldn't have to be near the snake. My ex-roommate still visited me but would bring along that damned snake. He would let it slither around in my presence and I would get really really mad. It would also come in my direction.

An older woman came by one day looking for the snake. My ex-roommate and and I looked for it everywhere. I got nervous thinking that it might be in the pants I was wearing and frantically checked them to make sure. All of a sudden I realized that the snake was in my hair. I leaned over so he could take it out. It was wrapped in my hair like a hair tie. I started crying and wandering around trying to find someplace to take a shower.

Are Old Ladies Considered "A Dirty Job"? Dreamed 4-29-10

In my dream I was Mike Rowe (from Dirty Jobs) and was being shown around a room by this elderly lady. Each quarter of this rather large room was brightly decorated in a different color. The room was empty except for the red section of the building where there were a few dressing rooms.

In another room in the same building I laid down on a padded table (like the ones in doctor's offices). She laid down next to me and started drooling all over and licking the front of my shirt. I had to gently push her away. Once I managed to escape from her I met the young woman who was responsible for taking care of the old woman. The girl seemed very apathetic about everything. She admitted to sometimes locking the woman in one of the rooms to prevent her from wandering around.

After I left the building I discovered that I had been in a big red barn. At this point in time I was not longer Mike Rowe but myself. I was waiting outside of the barn. He and I took a nap in the back of his pickup truck.

Shape Shifters, Dreamed 4-28-10

So Today I just defended (and passed!) my MS thesis :D and after have a nice lunch and a beer with my awesome boyfriend to celebrate I took a much needed nap. The following dream is a product of that nap.

I was watching this part of the dream as an outsider. 3 cartoony robots were in a space ship traveling somewhere. They reminded me of the x-men. I was under the impression that they were supposed to mimic personalities of people, one of which was professor X from the x-men. They wanted to try and be humans so they all put on these really stupid masks.

The masks were long and thin, like a paper mask little kids cut out of construction paper and strap to their faces. These masks has a very detailed picture of a human face on them.

The robots then started turning into these humanoid cartoon/not cartoon creatures. I was not watching from the perspective of one of the things in my dream. These beings were sort of born/programmed. I was a girl one with a husband or boyfriend. He wasn't into the whole idea of having a partner and has this plan to reprogram me. I wanted to be nice and earn his robot affection. As he was trying to reprogram me I offered to do some tasks for him and I think he eventually warmed up.

There was lots of other activity going on too. We were in a big building full of robot people things. One of them was Nicholas Cage and he has shape shifted into an elephant because he was sad.

There was a trophy of some sort in the room with the elephant that I was looking at, considering using it as a basis for one that I was going to make to give it to my robot man. The the actor (Paul Gimani?) who was the human-salesman from planet of the apes was pretty much being the same character but as a robot person told me he stole ideas all of the time from that trophy. When you stole an idea it actually altered the piece.

At one point I was in a really long hallway and a few other "people" needed to go attack something so they turned some non robot, run of the mill household stuff, into big cartoon Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons. They didn't have strings and they were autonomous. Tons of balloon people were floating down the hallway.

Nap Dream, Dreamed 4-24-10

My family and I were helping my brother set up in his dorm room at college. At some point in time his roommate (which was a cartoon character) was killed by having it's head sliced in half.

I was back in my apartment sitting at my desk with my back to the floor lamp. I see a skinny shadow fall across the wall in front of me. I realized it was the shadow of a skeleton that was supposed to be crossing over into another realm. It realized I was here and tried to attack me. (It turned out that this was the skeleton that killed cartoon roommate) I grabbed him (he went from full sized to mini-skeleton) and broken him in half then I threw him out the window.

Some Quickuns, Dreamed ??-??-??

Little Pet Shop of Horrors

I was looking to buy a new guinea pig in this particular pet store. It was really crowed with animals and very gross. There was one featured animal called "Tiramesu" being hailed as art. It was a rabbit with a toy implanted in it. The toy forced the rabbit to do flips. It was one of those acrobatic toys that click until they flip.


P. Diddy, Vampire Hunter

The world was being overrun by vampires, they were everywhere. I stumbled upon P. Diddy (in his house maybe?). He had quiet an arsenal to his name. I asked him if he would be willing to help hunt vampires and he agreed.

The Apocylpse, Dreamed 9-21-09

The tone of this dream was very weird. Groups of people began forming to prepare for the end of the world or world reset. Water in a glass would spin out if the glass was set flat on a table. There were also lots of crows everywhere.

I was at my parents' house eating dinner on the back deck. It was foggy and there were lots of birds around. We decided to take the food inside since it was attracting the bird. They managed to get a hold of the bread on the table that was in the middle of the backyard. The birds started turning into people, one of which was a friend I knew from preschool.

My family was inside the house talking about what was going on. I mentioned to my dad that this reminded me of some bible reference and he agreed. I suggested it could still be the work of aliens. A man then walked into the kitchen with a gun.

There was a LARP in my backyard that started out like any 'normal' LARP. We took a break from playing when people (who had just been LARPing with us) started wandering in talking about the current strange events.

There was an 'informer,' a little girl in pink that was killed by a boffer axe and a lady with braces. More people wandered in as we continued to talk about the strange current events. There was even a sing along with Nick (whoever Nick happened to be...). He was a good singer.

Easter Party, Dreamed 4-14-10

I was at a large gathering in a house I've never seen before. The house had a second floor that was really far above the first floor. The second level was a partial level where you could look over a railing and see the floor below. I was looking over the railing when I leaned too far and fell over. I though the fall would kill me but it didn't. I ended up being pretty banged up with a big lump on my head. One of my friends and my boyfriend came over to make sure I was alright.

I was then in another room of the house. In this room and wandering around other places in the house were these really soft furry awesome looking sheep. They had long thick necks and small heads. They had the look of stuffed toys but were real and wandering around. Since I was still hurt I was hanging out with the sheep to make me feel better. The sheep were there as Easter decorations.

Nap Time Dream, Dreamed 9-23-09

I was driving in a car with my parents to the top of our no-outlet road. It was not quite the same as it is in real life. We saw my research advisor who happened to be a cop and was smoking a cigarette. He and my mom start talking like they were old friends.

An older woman I used to work with at a grocery store was there too. She was getting shot at. People started shape shifting into creatures dressed in camouflage with helmets that covered their entire faces.

I was then in a room with the camouflage creatures but they started to vanish. I saw a bunch of shacks with military people guarding the outsides. The insides of the shacks looked like little kid play houses.

A little girl took a gun and shot at someone in the middle of the road. She missed and he shot her back.

I was then in an auditorium that had a really strange setup. The stairs were sort of floating in the air above the seats. I was a cartoon but did not look like myself, reading a book. A bunch of other people and I got up and began walking down the stairs to the front of the auditorium.

It felt like some sort of class reunion. Someone was holding a chain of foil balloons that looked like the kids. I had the feeling that these balloons were actually the shape shifters.

Some Quicken part 2, Dreamed ??-??-??

An assortment of short dreams that have stuck with me throughout the years...

I'm a Marine, Sir

A classmate of mine from a little while ago was a Marine. He's a very polite, no nonsense, very anti-affection sort of guy.

In my dream he grabbed my dad and put his kabar knife to his throat. My dad not being happy about all this demanded to know why he was doing this to him. My classmate's reply, "It's ok sir, I'm a Marine." This seemed to make the situation all better and my dad was no longer angry.


Demon Cat

The only reason why I remember this dream is because when it happened I told a friend of mine. She was so amused by it she remembered it for me and mentioned it a while ago, refreshing my memory.

My cat had been possessed by a demon. She was flying (not running really fast, literally flying) around the house with glowing red eyes. I always knew this cat was evil... (RIP patches <3 )


Teeth

This is a somewhat reoccurring dream theme.

The first time I had this dream my teeth had come loose and started falling out. I was collecting them in my hand. The second time I had it (a few nights ago) my teeth started to crack and fall out. I collected them in a baggie.

A Death in the Family, Dreamed 4/8/10

These dreams felt like a series of dreams with a reoccurring theme...

A very close friend's dad committed suicide by driving a heavy piece of machinery into the side of their house (which didn't look like their real house). Throughout the entire dream(s) I was very distraught by the news. The family had a gathering to mourn the loss. The house had a large beach ball colored igloo attached to the garage. My friend and I walked through the garage and was greeted by some other family members. A man came up to us to show my friend how to plant a plant using a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables.

[I think this is where the next dreams starts since throughout the rest of the dreams I couldn't figure out if the suicide actually occurred or if it was something I dreamed about]

In the beach ball igloo Marylin Manson and his henchman were printing documents. The henchman held up the printer like he was using it to worship something. There just happened to be a thunderstorm going on during this and I was afraid that he was going to get hit by lightning while holding up the printer.

Another friend (male) was supposed to pick me up from my house. Instead of pulling up into the driveway he wanted me to walk, at night, in the rain, down the highway to a heavily trafficed intersection 2 miles away so he could pick me up there. When he got to my actual house he pulled up in a HUGE van. I ran to my room to get my chapstick with one shoe on and the other 1/2 way on. I was also wearing sweatpants. When I got into the car it was actually another (female) friend driving. I told her about the suicide, after mentally checking that it happened and wasn't a dream, while crying my eyes out.

I was at a store in the mall when I found 2 coupons. I gave one to the girl I was with (not the same person driving the van). My coupon was good for a free container of medication that would prevent depression but wouldn't make me feel all loopy. The other coupon was for a $700 purse at the cost of $200. After we left the store she was really mad that she didn't get anything for free. She ended up going back into the store, returned the first purse and bought a cheaper one.

When I woke I had to remind myself that the suicide never actually happened.

(It was an unusual and very sad suicide since the family involve are a wonderful, happy, loving family and this seemed WAY out of character)

Assorted Aliens!, Dreamed ??-??-??

In light of the last dream I thought I'd continue with the alien theme. My favorite sci-fi topic is extraterrestrial beings. This is translated in the dreams I have. I will describe some of the dreams I've had in the past about alien lifeforms.


Protect Your Thumbs

A large group of people and I were standing in a corn field around a crop circle. It was understood that the aliens would be coming soon and they were out to take our thumbs. They might take both or just one. In order to prevent ourselves from losing our thumbs we made fists with out hands that wrapped the other fingers around the thumbs. This was assumed to be enough protection from the thumb-snatchers.


The Big Soda Factory in the Sky

It was night time and a bunch of people were sitting outside along the road in front of the (then) empty lot next door to my parents' house. It was a really clear night and you could see the starts really well. All of a sudden it looked like a section of the sky moved, instead of the stars there was just a black section. It was like someone slide a trap door aside in the sky that only looked like it was part of the starry sky.

It was, to our understanding, a spaceship that was in disguise. We all ended up on the ship and were subjected to tests. The only one I remember was a blood test, much like the ones taken on Earth. The ship also happened to be manufacturing soda.


Heads

I was in a old high school building and I walked into a room with a bunch of alien heads and body parts in it. They started to move when I was in the room so my companion and I ran. Strangely enough in order to get out of the room we had to make a full circle around the room instead of take the quicker path directly to the door.

They were chasing us through the high school / hospital building and we were trying to hide. I ended up in an auxiliary gym where there was a softball and volleyball game going on. There were racks of prop costuming all around. The gym was partially outside. My boyfriend came in (but he was an alien in disguise) so I had to fight him.

Just Thought I'd Let You Know, Dreamed 4-4-10

I was at my parents' house during the night when my dad looks out the window and notices "two odd looking guys" in the backyard. He let them into the house and I'm not really sure why. They claimed they were on the run from something. These "odd looking guys" turned out to be aliens.

These aliens were similar looking in size and shape to a small gray. They were whitish gray with thin pink veins all over their bodies. They were very goofy and campy looking, the kind of aliens you might see in a bad sci-fi movie. They had webbed feet and were inclined to stand with their feet pressed closely together. Their eyes were big black and shiny with both top and bottom eyelids. They were holding long, skinny dowel rods that had been sharpened to a point.

The aliens had come to kill me. We were standing in the foyer by the front door where I begged and pleaded for them not to. They said that in the past there were people they were supposed to kill but didn't and their failure to do so resulted in great catastrophes. My step mother was at the top of the stairs with one of the neighbors and someone else watching. I tearfully yelled to them what the aliens wanted to do to me and they just ignored me.

I went up the stairs and slapped my neighbor in the face a few times. I picked up my step mother and began yelling at her how much I hated her while holding a handful of her blond hair in my hand. I pointed out how she was only 15 years older than me and 15 years younger than my elderly father (even though those numbers don't result in an elderly father, me=23, her=38, him=53). I also called her dumb and evil and a string of other nasty things while also reminding her what the aliens intended to do to me. Before throwing her down the (half flight) of stair I ended my rant with "just though I'd let you know."

I walked down the stairs toward the aliens with my hands in front of me so that they could get done with what they had come to do.

(Dreamer's note: #1) I don't have a step mom nor did the 'mom' in my dream at all resemble my actual mother. #2) Those age differences do not exist within my actual family. #3) I'm not a violent person so this dream really freaked me out...)

The Danger of Jelly Beans, Dreamed 3/31/10

I was standing on one side of a rather large intersection, a friend was standing on the other side. I had jelly beans and they wanted some. I threw it across the intersection and it hit the windshield of a car (major clunker!). The jelly bean broke through the windshield, hit the shifter and pushed the car off of an embankment near where it was parked. My friend and I rushed over to look at the damage. When we looked down the car was no longer there but there was a touch screen. I remember being really upset about knocking the car down but I was even more upset to see the screen there since I knew I'd have to pay for it and the screen cost more money.

OJ and Waffles, Dreamed 3/26/10

A friend and I wanted to go for a ride into the city. He was riding a motorcycle and I was sitting on a mattress attached to the back of the bike. It was night time. I was worried about getting arrested so I told him to stay out of densely populated areas.

We ended up in a town (during the day, it was overcast and gray) and parked the bike and went on a bus. We were arguing about something when OJ Simpson mentioned to us that he and his wife fight too sometimes. (It didn't really look like OJ but it was one of those dream 'things' where you just know. He has 3 letters burned into his face that were now scars.) We somehow ended up hanging with him.

OJ was the operator of a really heavy piece of machinery. I can't think of what it is called, but it has a really long arm, going up at about an 80 degree angle from the ground, with a cable hanging down that has an attachment that looked like big metal jaws (a scoop?). He was moving dirt and my friend and I were in the cab (which seemed really spacious) with him.

After that we were in his family's mini van. His wife was driving and OJ was in the passenger seat. Their two girls were in the row behind them with me and my friend in the back row.

They took us to a place that was famous for their waffles. My boyfriend was supposed to meet up with us. My friend left town on his bike. I don't know how my boyfriend got into town but we didn't have any way of transporting ourselves back out. OJ offered to drive us at least partway back but left before we could get our waffles. We backed up and picked them up.

The waffles were thick and dark and crunchy. You could see them in the window of the store on some sort of elevator oven device. They came in halves. We ate them while OJ took us to the nearest bus stop.

I didn't recognize my surroundings and started to panic. We may have ended up at a bus stop in a town very very close to my house.

X-Files, Dreamed 10/3/09

(I must have been on a Sci-fi TV show dream kick or something...)

In my dream I was Scully and I had to find Mulder. I experienced a whirlwind of different people and places looking for him. He kept contacting me, calling for help. He was eventually found being held captive in a dismal basement/sewer cell. A psychologist was supposedly providing him with 'care'.

I busted him out and we went to a hotel. The town where the hotel was had weird bulbous, crumbly buildings. There was a shoot out on one of the porches in which I was involved. I had a really tiny gun (Noisy Cricket, perhaps?). We checked into the hotel where the shoot out occurred. The doors in the room would not close properly so Mulder found a different door and we were able to close that one. We discovered a baby in the bed.

As we were leaving we had to put foil over out heads so they wouldn't recognize us. We were accompanied by a small child.

Nap Time Dream, 10/4/09

Olivia Dunham (from the awesome show Fringe) was exhuming coffins in my parents' backyard. She then buried them again at the bottom of the deck stairs with her bare hands. Two of the people that had been assumed dead had ended up in my apartment building. There was something about them that make me think that they were/had been dead. They may also have had some sort of 'condition' giving this same impression.

Eel Sushi?, Dreamed 10-6-09

A friend and I wanted to have some eel sushi so I went to pick it up from the restaurant/store. I drove to a big garage. The guys there covered my car with GIANT octopi and proceed to use them to wash the car. They then sprayed the octopi with some sort of white substance saying it was supposed to help them ferment. The finishing touches were to cover the octopi with sauce.

Island Hut, Dreamed 11-3-09

I was on a little island somewhere with 13 little huts on it. There were lots of people hanging around along with a bunch of cats and rodents. There was also a 'bell thing from space' on the island.

I watched a very long, thin ship in the ocean sink (Titanic style) and pop back up with all of the people still on board. They were all dressed for a wedding. A bunch of people then got off the ship into the water and tried to tip the ship back over. The water was very deep where they were. A woman from the ship swam out to the island and I helped her out of the water.

Reoccuring Dreams, Dreamed ??-??-??

Since I didn't get enough sleep last night to have any dreams I'm going to dig something out of the vault. Recurring dreams aren't very common for me (though I do notice reoccurring themes). The two dreams I am going to describe happened very often when I was younger. I haven't had one in years that I can remember.


'Elevators'

I would see a big building that was only made of the steel scaffolding and had sort of a slightly see through blue wall surrounding it. If you were in the building you could see the shadows of the beams outside of the building and vice versa. The Knoebel's mascot would run around in the scaffolding building and go up and down the elevators. It was very reminiscent of that Mario game where you have to climb the ladders to get to the top level.


'Don't Lose the Balloons'

In elementary school we had the most awesome playground ever, it was a big wooden maze a lot like this one.

In the dream it was a beautiful sunny day. The air was filled with balloons of all shapes and sizes floating by. I was by myself and it was my job to grab them out of the air and tie them to the playground.

Trouble on the High Seas, Dreamed 3-12-10

Two other people and I managed to get ourselves into space and onto a ship using what looked like my car key. We would point them into the night sky and press the button a few times. It would 'activate' some sort of gravitational force that would pull us to our destination. We were not in a space craft nor were we in space suits, we just traveled as we were.

The ship was not a space ship but a pirate style wooden sailing vessel. We were in a room on the ship that looked like a regular indoor bar. There were a bunch of people chatting and hanging out when we were attacked by a giant octopus. We could see its eye up against the glass of the window. It was bigger then the window so we only saw part of it. It would grab the ship and shake it. We were all knocked down and as it continued to jolt the ship we tried hard to keep out balance. At one point I remember seeing it crush the mast and the crow's nest with its tentacles.

To defeat it my car key toting travel companions and pointed out keys at it's eye through the window and emitted some sort of force that caused a painful jolt. It backed off in surprised so I started attacking it with my magical powers. I pointed my fingers at it and issued more pain. It retreated and was chased by a monkey. Someone mentioned that this was how Planet of the Apes was probably started. We used our car keys to take us to another location.

Going Out of Business Sale, Dreamed 3-11-10

There was a going out of business sale at a furniture store that someone else and I decided to stop by and check out. All they had was poster boards. When my friend left I found that they were also selling big boxes of Dunkin' Doughnut bagels and boxes of DD doughnuts. I grabbed a box of each and a piece of poster board and went to the register. There was a family checking out with small children.

I was now on a boat traveling through choppy seas. The water was shifting in such a way that it would form shapes of different things, sort of like when you look at the shaped in the clouds. I remember seeing a pumpkin and a dinosaur. There was more to this part of the dream but I cant remember it.

Mystical, Dreamed 3-11-10

I was in this big yellow circular plot of land with a bunch of other people. Everyone was running to the center, picking up these glowy, blue, ethereal orbs, running a specific distance away, and throwing it back into the center. The purpose was something along the lines of sending an object of some sort back to another dimension/universe. When the orb landed it took whatever we were aiming at with it to this other destination. If you accidentally hit another person they would glow blue and start shaking. It was important to remove it from them before something bad happened.

London Dreams pt 5, Dreamed 1-??-08

Last installment of my London dreams.

'Aliens'

I was with a group of people in the middle of the road. We had a parked van and were waiting to defend against a pending alien attack. For some reason a bunch of the other people and I weren't wearing any pants. When the aliens arrived and started shooting blue laser bullets at us I started pulling pants out of the van and tossing them to the others. I offered my pair of pants to someone since I wasn't on the front line. I was captured by the aliens and they surrounded everyone else in an invisible force field. The aliens zapped my pants back onto me.

London Dreams pt 4, Dreamed 1-??-08

Part 4.

'Confused'

This dream was sort of all over the place. At one point I was in a museum. At another point I had found a new Darren Hayes (love!) CD and someone had offered me a special additional CD with extra songs or bonus features on it. When looking at the CD I found a bunch of pictures of a well dressed, pompous looking, chubby, blond guy who looked around my age in the cover booklet. Each picture of him was closer then the next and at one point there was a picture of his naked hairy thigh. The last thing I remember was eating turkey with 2 people. One of them was an army hardened man.


'Bugs and Mammals'

I was with a group of people and we were being introduced to small, cute, house cat sized animals. The animals were shy and needed to trust you before you could get close to them. The catch was that they were covered by bugs. There were large roach bugs and small fleas. When we got close to the animals the swarm of bugs would overtake us. I was grossed out so I flinched and scared the animals away. At that point I had no desire to be near the animals.

I was in the backseat of a car and the person in the passenger seat had their window open. A swarm of bugs flew in and she frantically closed the window. Between the front and back seats there was a taxi style sliding window. I slammed the window shut. Some bugs were squished against the window. It was gross. :(

London Dreams pt 3, Dreamed 1-??-08

More dreams from across the pond!

'The Birds'

I was being chased and attacked. I don't know who was chasing me but they were controlling animals to do their bidding. One of the attacks that I remember clearly was when I was in a church. A flock of birds flew up to one of the high windows, arranged themselves into the shape of a giant hammer and smashed the window in.


'Tents and Hampers'

I was in my front yard with someone else selling tents and collapsible clothes hampers. We were selling them for quite a large profit. Eventually we started selling more stuff. I sold a very lovely long sleeve shirt to an Asian lady. Later in the dream we were getting on the bus to go to the mall or a dance. One bus was filled with older kids and another bus was filled with younger kids. I got on the wrong bus on purpose. I was wearing a pretty dress that was full of defects.

London Dreams pt 2, Dreamed 1-??-08

More dreams from when I was on my London trip...

'The Smoke Alarm'

This one was semi-dream/sleep walk/hallucination...
I woke up around 5 in the morning from a dream where I had been suffocating or choking. When I woke up I was convinced that the room was filled with smoke. I was alarmed and tried to see if I could actually detect smoke. I wandered around the flat checking to see if there was actually smoke anywhere, there wasn't and nothing smelled like smoke. When I got back to my room I was still unnerved and cracked the door open a little just in case. I turned my phone light on to try to dispel the 'smoke'. At one point the thought crossed my mind that it may have been a ghost.


'Cats'

There was a building surrounded by a tunnel a few feet high and a few feet wide. It was filled with cats and it was my responsibility to take care of them. There was a litter box in the tunnel that I think I had to stop people from using it as a toilet. The people would have to pass through the cat tunnel to leave the building.

London Dreams pt 1, Dreamed 1-??-08

I took a class a few years ago that culminated in a trip to London. It was a fantastic class and London was so much fun. Part of the assignment was to keep a journal about things we did, how we were feeling and if we remembered them, our dreams. These are some of my dreams from another country.

'London?'
I was watching a weather broadcast where the weather man was talking about the temperature being a 'frigid' 70 degrees F. He said it was so cold that the ground would freeze and erode away. My dream then took me through some random montage adventure of a strange dream London.


'Interview'
I was at an English college to do my interview for the class. I was with a guy and girl I didn't know. The girl was the Champion of Microscopy so people wanted her to interview them. We were being served food in a cafeteria or a restaurant when someone told us that while we were in England we needed to try some 'good English sex.'

Blast From the Past - Part 2, Dreamed ??-??-99

Some more dreams from my late elementary school days...

1) I was in a Slushie stand when the aliens landed. They landed at the house of a former softball coach. The aliens didn't want us to look at them. The humans said that we looked the same so that they wouldn't feel bad. The aliens had flat stomachs and boobs that stuck straight out.

I even have a diagram drawn of what the aliens looked like... it's a pretty awful, non descriptive stick figure.

2) I was at one of the softball complexes in the winter while it was snowing. There were people at the field planning to blow themselves up. I was standing near them and announced that if anyone didn't want to blow themselves up they should come stand by me. The boy I had a crush on and 3 other ppl came to stand by me. My crush and I walked away holding hands. His clone then came up to us and started yelling at my crush.

3) We had hired a guy to drive our ship, only we didn't actually have a ship, but we kind of did. We went to some place and found treasure and aliens. They were evil aliens. When we dug up the treasure, which ended up being colored paper, the captain turned on us. Two seconds later he unturned on us.

Blast From the Past, Dreamed ??-??-99

I am spending the weekend at my parents house in order to start packing up some of the crazy junk I've collected over the year. Someday, hopefully within the next few months, I will graduate and be employed at a great job and will therefore benefit from having all this stuff packed up already. (The great job part is very wishful thinking right now...) Anyways, I was going through all of the fun stuff I wrote and drew when I was young and found an old dream journal. I am now attempting to translate what I wrote about 11 years ago.


1) My younger brother (who was 7 at the time) got married to the scary girl from the movie The Craft. Everyone at the wedding was dancing at the bottom of the hill. All of a sudden my brother and I were back in the house playing.

2) I was having a birthday party and my mom invited the gross smelly kid from my class. I begged and pleaded with her not to but she said I had to be nice. Not many people ended up coming. The friends that were there and I went to the pool (and I just happened to see the kid I had a crush on) and were having a good time. All of a sudden my 6th grade teacher showed up and started yelling and cursing at us.

3) My family and I were at the house of my old softball coach. Instead of neighbors their house was surrounded by miles of grass and woods. My coach and his wife were putting lawn chairs and umbrellas all over the yard. My coach's (or his wife's) dad was flying a kite with a rubber band string. The other end of the string was attached to another softball coach and a dog.

Me and my friends were now in the woods sitting on a big rock and talking. All of a sudden a bunch of trucks pulled up with huge speakers blasting the song "Every Morning" by Sugar Ray.

Sleep Antics, Preformed ??-??-??

It has become apparent over the years that I don't just have unusual dreams in my sleep. When I was much younger I used to sleep walk all over my house. My dad who is a light sleeper said he would hear me wandering around and would have to find me and bring me back to my room. I haven't sleep walked in a long long time but I have been known to sleep talk.

A few sleep talking examples that I can remember being told of:
1) I was on vacation, many many years ago, with my family so we were all sharing a room. My mom, who I was sharing the bed with, said in the middle of the night I sat up and said "It goes around and around..." and then laid back down.

2) My freshman year of college my roommate said I scared the crap out of here when I did this example. I had gone to bed and she was working at her computer. She said that all of a sudden I yelled "It's not fair!" and slammed my hands down on the bed.

I'm not the only one of us who did some sleep talking that year. One morning I came back to our room at 6am back from a late night of hanging out with some friends. When I walked in she leaned over her bed and beckoned to me like she had a question. She told me she was the captain of one of the fraternities volleyball team and then proceeded to tell me about her night the night before. When I told her about this later she didn't remember talking to me. She was also not actually the captain of any volleyball team...

3) Junior year I did quiet a bit of sleep talking to my roommate. One event in particular stands out in my mind. She had been up late on her computer after I was in bed. Our beds were parallel to each other and she had been in hers. She said I hung over the side of the bed and started 'petting' something, like if there was a dog laying on the floor next to my bed. While that was happening I said to my imaginary sleep dog "There you are!"

For the Good of the Species! Dreamed 3-3-10

I was on a school bus on my way to some swamp. When we got there we learned that we would be trying to help save 2 species of animals. One was a species of tiny (like an inch or two long) ducks and the other was some sort of tiny ferocious flat worm. In order to save the two species we had to get them to mate with each other.

For some reason Scarlett Johansson, the actress, was one of the driving forces behind this endeavor. She was in the swamp overseeing the work wearing a white down vest. When the vest got wet she became very upset since it was now ruined.

Whenever the creatures were put together, the flat worms would all fight and kill each other before one could mate with the duck. Eventually one of the flatworms was allowed to sneak away with a duck while the other worms fought each other.

Some Quickuns, Dreamed ??-??-??

I was in the kitchen at my parents house eating dinner. We were having pizza. A woman drove a school bus filled with lawn ornaments and pieces from a nativity scene into the dinning room (which is connected to the kitchen and living room) and parks it there. She got out of the bus and joined us at the kitchen table, talking like nothing was out of the ordinary. The rest of the people at the table were all sort of looking around at each other trying to figure out what to do. The woman reached out to take a slice of pizza. I managed to gently lead her back to the bus so she could leave all the while trying to subtly take a picture of it with my phone. She drove into the living room and out of the house. Her driving in and out of the house didn't bust down any walls nor did she drive through any doors.

**********************************************************

This one was from a really long time ago. It takes place on the front lawn of my house. A little bit about the layout to clarify things. If you are facing the house there is a short driveway in the middle, the steps leading up the the front door on the left and a pine tree to the right on the other side of the yard...

I was sitting on the top step in front of the front door with all my music CDs spread out around me. A man (who I knew was a hobo) dressed as a postal worker was on the other side of the driveway hiding behind the tree. When he realized I was there he started running across to get me. I tried to pick up all my CDs so I could escape into the house but he got to me first and killed me.

The dream then began to repeat a few times and I always knew what was coming even though I couldn't change the outcome.

Bugs and Dogs, Dreamed 3-2-10

There were way too many spiders in my dream last night.

The window in the basement of my parents' house is right at ground level but if you are inside it is at shoulder level. In my dream there were HUGE tarantulas crawling around right outside of the window. There was a hole in the windowsill and someone reached through and grabbed one of the spiders. The one they happened to grab was a cactus spider. It was a big disgusting spider with a cactus body. I'm pretty sure this spider lover tried to get me to touch it at some point and there was a chase that involved me running and screaming from the person holding the spider.

On the upside there were lots of puppies in my dream.

My brother was living in an apartment in my parents' basement. He would eat cookies and decorate Christmas dress. In the dream he bought the cutest puppy, it was sort a lab/something else mix. It did have some weird growth on its tummy... like super nipples or something.

At some point I was taking a boat ride with my boyfriend. Another group of boats passed by. The first was like a boat/train/trolley. There were several boats linked together and had windows like on a trolley or a fairy. Behind that was a small boat carrying puppies wearing identical sports jerseys of different colors. The puppies all pointed their fingers at us. The next boat was also filled with dogs and when we passed by them they stuck their paws out for us to high five them.

College Prom, Dreamed 2-18-10

I was at the prom and it felt like a combination of college and high school. I was at the table with a bunch of people, one of them being Daniel Jones. I was really excited that he was there and was trying not to get all fan girl on him. At one point he got up and left and I subtly went to find him.

The group of people at the prom was very ethnically diverse (this is the first time I've noticed such a variety of ethnicity in a dream).

It was announced that it was time for graduation so everyone had to line up. I felt disappointed that my parents weren't going to see my graduation since it was happening at the prom. There were a bunch of girls wearing the same dress. They lined up separately and did a dance like before a Miss America pageant.

I was excited that Daniel would see how smart I was when they announced my name for graduation. The entire time I had been holding a notebook (it was actually the green one I currently use for class) that I was trying to write down my dreams in. In front of where we were supposed to walk they were setting up scaffolding with a trumpet or another sort of brass instrument suspended in the middle of it.

After walking we had to get our picture taken in this awkward makeshift wooden hallway. You were supposed to pose in some way that described what you did (played sports, sang, etc). The two people in front of me went really quick, they posed, the picture was taken and they left. The photographer kept moving me around, making me change my pose, telling me to open my eyes more. I was still holding that notebook.

Big Dipper, Little Dipper, Dreamed 3-1-10

This dream takes place at my parents house. Someone had sent out the big constellation bear (Ursa Major) to find the little one (Ursa Minor). In the dream the bear looked like a full size bear but it was yellowish translucent with random bright spots all over. While this was happening I was taking a nap with my boyfriend in my bedroom when the family cat (RIP Patches) jumped onto the bed so I could pet her.

The big bear came back with his paws covered in chocolate. Everyone was horrified because it meant that big bear had stuck his paws in little bear. Chaos ensued. The people were required to entertain the big bear or it would do something bad. I participated in karaoke with a group of people to entertain the bear.

Fishies and Hamsters, Dreamed 2-28-10

Last night I had a ton of dreams! I supposed it was my body's way of rewarding me for letting it sleep for about 11 hrs, which might I add was fantastic! These dreams were all particularly vivid and long, there are a few that I remember quiet well (most recent) and I few I remember bits and pieces of...

The really crazy one I only remember bits and pieces of... so here they are:
It involved me getting through some crazy obstacle courses. I also dreamed that a mother of a young child became very mad at me for being a bad influence on her child. I think it had to do with a book I was reading. She wouldn't let me explain myself and I was in some sort of trouble as a result. I was in a classroom and people were being really weird towards me. I had fallen into a trance and told someone that the girl was swept away and was put with a good family. When I came out of the trance the person I had talked to repeated what I said. I was relieved that the girl was safe.
There was so much more to this one but it eludes me...
_________________________________________________

I was in the building where I keep an office. I had a small plastic fish tank on my desk. I got a larger one and wanted to transfer all the fish into that one. I ended up spilling most of the water all of the floor in the middle of the hallway by the mail room. I was trying to pour a little of the water from the small tank into the big tank so the fish wouldn't die from the transition. There was only enough water left to barely cover the two fish in the small tank. One was pink and the other white and they were very round and cartoony looking.

There was also a hamster cage on my desk that needed to be cleaned very badly. I was throwing pretzels into the cage which woke up the hamsters that were hiding in their bedding.

I saw my research advisor in the hall and he asked me if I was pulling an all-nighter, saying that he remembered the days when he did that as a student.

This dream does not in any way resemble how I treat my non dream pets. My guinea pig is happy and spoiled beyond belief. :P

New Species, Dreamed 2-22-10

This morning I could only remember bits and pieces of my dreams. I had a sweet super hero dream but like the sleep craving college student I am I opted to go back to sleep rather then write it down so I forgot most of it.

Anyway... In the New Species dream I was driving by a corral with a wooden fence. The animal on the other side of the fence was ridiculous looking. It had the body proportions of a corgi dog but it was the size and roughly shape of a horse. Where the head should have been was a hump in the neck with huge white cow horns jutting out. Tied to the cow horns were two purple broom bottoms. The neck continued a few feet farther past the horns to the actual head with another pair of giant white cow horns.

To sum things up:
(Corgi x horse) + (2 x cow horns) + (2 x broom bottoms) = My dream species
