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.
