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.
