Sweatshirt Brawl, Dreamed 1-29-11

I was with my mom walking along the sidewalk outside of my apartment complex. I spotted a girl wearing the same sweatshirt as I was. It was a shirt from when I was in a play about 7 years ago. I called her over to see if we recognized each other. She came over with my high school pre-calc teacher. The teacher started yelling at us, trying to pick a fight. Another girl came over, a school mate from elementary school, and hit my mom in the face with an apple juice bottle. That started an all out girl brawl.

I could only remember bits and pieces from last night.

1) I dreamt I was living in my parents house with a white fluffy pet llama. It would follow me around and nudge me so that I could pet it. I started petting the llama and it rolled on the ground so I could rub his tummy. I called my brother into the room so he could see how friendly the llama was. The llama was leaking and squirting bodily fluids all of the walls of the house. My brother and dad were really grossed out by the llama so I had to go around and clean up the walls.

2) I was trying to think of ways to decorate my walls and decided that I wanted an Arlen Spector wall (several random pictures in frames arranged all artfully). After a min or two I decided better of it and decided on a space themed wall instead. I also discovered I have 3 more pairs of dress pants to wear to work that I couldn't find. (I really wish they were real pants so I didn't have to buy new work pants.)

3) The final set of dream fragments dealt with a soap opera that took place in the middle of a canoe race. I was in the water with the villainess and the object of all the ladies's affection. We weren't in the canoe's just treading water while the race was going on around us. I don't remember too many more details except that the villainess killed the heart throb. He drowned and sunk to the bottom but when I went to look for him I was in a kitchen looking in the bottom of a soup pot partially filled with soup. He wasn't there... :(

Train Sewer Bed Frame Bomb, Dreamed 1-12-11

I was riding in a train that didn't really look like one on the inside. There was a large round central room that contained the guts and random equipment of the train. I saw that it was filled with shelves and small squat canisters (maybe 4-5 inches in diameter and 4-5 inches tall).

An evil guy replaced (or changed) one of the canisters. It was glowing yellow with a red digital clock readout on the front. He informed us there was a bomb in it and around the bomb was a gaseous neurotoxin. The evil guy managed to escape.

I was part of a team to get a rid of the canister. Somehow it had fallen into a hole in the train's floor. It rolled along a series of pipes and conduits (like a mini sewer system) down and away from the train. We followed it's location by looking for the glow.

I ended up in a room in my parent's house filled with bed frames. The frames were hollow metal with open ends facing towards the ceiling. The canister had some how gotten stuck in the walls or under the house. We realized it was there because of the bed frames. My digital clock was keeping track of the bomb countdown.

We figured out that the detonation was pressure based. We had to keep it under pressure by holding the top of one of the bed frames shut with the palm of a hand. There were a bunch of people in the room (presumable the other people from the train) watching. I said I needed someone to keep their hand over the frame opening. A little kid wanted to do it and I told him no. Some of the adults got mad at me for 'not being fair.' I got mad at them for not understand the seriousness of the situation. I let the kid try but he wasn't able to plug the hole properly. I took it back from him and let a few other people try.

I don't remember leaving the room but I must have left and returned. When I came back the hole was covered in several different colors of duct tape. The pressure had started to leak out so I tried to fix it with more duct tape. Someone came in and yelled at me for being in that room alone.

The clock started ticking down really fast. I started running and yelling for people to evacuate the house. When I was at the front door I saw that there was a whole bunch of people outside running toward the house. I yelled at them, telling them they were all idiots and they should be running the opposite way. At that point everyone did turn and run away from the house.

When the countdown ended we all fell to the ground (as a result of the release of the neurotoxin). I was only at the end of the property. I looked back and saw a skinny black kid carrying a frail elderly black man on his back out of the front door.

Pregnant Exploration, Dreamed 1-6-11

I was wandering around with a group of people in some sort of maze/building with lots of doors. Through each door there was a different 'world' completely discontinuous from anything else in the building. One of the doors led to a world flooded with about 4 feet of water. There were a bunch of wooden beams and things built out of wood in the water. We needed to pass through a gate in the fence but the wood was rotten and broke when I tried to get through.

Anytime we transitioned from one world to the next I never dreamed of a way out. We just ended up back in front of another door.

Four other girls and I were the only ones left in the group. We were all newly pregnant. We continued to explore different worlds through the mysterious doors. As we continued our bellies were showing the pregnancies more and more. At the point when I was just starting to show one of the other girls told me that I would be able to feel the baby. I touched my stomach and could feel a small baby shaped protrusion under the skin.

Two girls eventually miscarried. The fetuses had been cleaned and were displayed on trays, they looked like giant mouse fetuses. Later in the dream I was aware that I had also miscarried by willing myself to do so. I didn't actually see it happen, I just knew. The other two girls were significantly showing near the end of the dream.

One of the doors we went through brought us into a house fill with Caribbean men obsessed with candy. Though there was candy in the house a few of the guys were sent out to find candy. We took it as an omen that it was time to get out since something bad was going to happen. The last door we went through took us into a sort of Elk's Club for pregnant women.

Bedroom Aquarium, Dreamed 1-6-11

I was in my parents' bedroom which was filled with about 4 feet of water. There was a hologram map floating on the surface of the water. You could point at different areas on the map to change the location. There was a mini (a few feet long) orca whale swimming around under a blown up map of Alaska. While playing with the map and the whale a terrifying looking (full-sized) octopus floated out of the depths of the water. The octopus has huge yellow eyes and a creepy smile.

I left the bedroom and went out into the hallway which was not filled with water. The octopus followed me. It deflated and sort of flopped to the end of the hallway. Since there was no water it just kind of laid there all deflated and gross looking. I was so freaked out I started calling for my mom who was downstairs in her sewing room. After a minute or two it managed to get up and walk back into my parents' bedroom.

A similar event happened to my brother. A man that was the same size and shape of the octopus but wearing yellow plastic coveralls had followed him out of my parents bedroom telling my brother that they could be friends. A bunch of muscular little people (a few inches tall) wearing the same yellow coveralls came out of the room and attacked the floppy man with paint balls. In the dream I sensed they were somehow related to the floppy guy. After being attacked the floppy man deflated. My brother had the man's body on a platter. He was very disappointed to have lost his new friend.

Pool Party, Dreamed 1-4-11

I was leaning against a swimming pool that came up to about my armpits. It was only deep enough to fill it with a foot and a half of water. It was L shaped, the size of a standard rectangle pool and looked like it was made out of black marble speckled with white. They was also a bridge over the short leg of the L. The pool was inside a house. The room it was in was scattered with clothing and other random objects on the floor. There were also a few people milling about the room.

The pool was filled with scalding hot water. A dog and two little gum creatures were swimming around in it. I was afraid that the gum creatures would get lost in the pool or eaten. At one point I think I was also in the pool.

I went to go with some random guy to change our clothes. He told a friend of mine that he could use the back room to change since we were going to change in the bathroom. We were both changing in the bathroom (among other things) when my mom bust open the door. I got freaked out and curled into the fetal position on the floor.

I went back to the room where the pool was trying to collect my belongings. I found one of my guinea pigs buried in a pile of clothing on the floor.

I was walking home when I passed two African people selling raffle tickets. The tickets were attached to random objects contained in a fish tank. There was a small vase, some really strange stuffed dolls, tiki idols and other trinkets. The guy I was with bought us two tickets. The first ticket was on the bottom of the vase. The 'lottery number' was actually one number and a bunch of television show names. It took the lady a while to decode what prize the ticket corresponded to.

We ended up winning a glass tree about a foot tall. It was clear with red apples on the branches. All of the prizes were in a china cabinet. The lady was about to move on to her next customer when the guy I was with reminded her that we still had one more ticket to choose.
