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.
