Rare Earth Bugs, Dreamed 2-26-11

I was at a shopping/residential complex with a bunch of people. There were stores and old houses and a bunch of other random buildings. I was grocery shopping with my mom when I felt a pinch on my back. I went to check and found a small bug latched on to the outside of my shirt. It was beetle shaped and had two pincers shaped like 'L's coming from the bottom of it's body. The 'L's were facing away from one another. The bugs would stick their little 'L' pincers into you skin so they were hard to get out. The bugs were all different shapes and sizes but had the same coloring.

I pulled the bug off and it really hurt. All of a sudden I felt more pinches and notices I had a lot more bugs attached to me. I was trying to get them all off. By this point I was freaking out because I hate bugs. Someone mentioned that the bugs ate rare earth elements and that's why they were so abundant here. I spent the rest of the dream trying to get rid of the bugs. Though they were supposed to be everywhere, I didn't notice anyone else covered in them.

At one point I realized a small bug had gotten under the skin in the palm of my right hand. There was a bump under my skin. I asked someone to get it out for me. They didn't believe me since my skin was too soft. Apparently the bugs like to burrow into rough surfaces.

There was a house in the complex where a bunch of younger people were living. The cops were coming through to bust up a party. I went through the hallway to warn some of the kids. By the time I got there mostly everyone had left. In the last room at the end of the hall two people were poking their heads out from the door. I told them that the cops were coming and they got very flustered. They thought they were going to get in trouble for being roommates of the opposite sex. They made it a point to let me know that they were both gay. I told them the real reason the cops were here and I carried they both down the back stairwell.

Sad Song, Dreamed 2-22-11

I was Mr. Shu from Glee (even though it didn't look like him) at a bar in my dream. I was talking to someone in the army. I was looking as Mr. Shu from the army man's perspective but I didn't know what he was saying. Every time I returned to the conversation he/I looked worse and worse. I was more ragged and bloody. The final time I spoke with the army personnel I told him I was dieing.

They let me sing a very heartfelt song on stage while people came by and tried to comfort me. After the song the woman at the bar got an email from his/my wife saying she would be there right after she puts some gears away. Up until this point I hadn't told her he was dieing.

Look Under the Bed, Dreamed 2-21-11

On the same day of every week (I want to say Tuesday) my brother and I would set a trap under our parents' bed for our dad to trigger. We would rig up a combination of frogs, snakes and iguanas. They were all tied to the trap and when he's step on it they were set free. We would set it every single week with a different animal combination. Eventually my dad started to get mad because our prank was getting old. We had a revelation that we shouldn't have done it so regularly because it ruins the surprise.

Apartments and Crafts, Dreamed 2-9-11

I was apartment hunting with a friend. We found two nice apartments with a great view of the city. A large group of friend and I were with the apartment complex employee looking at the inside of the apartment. My friends burst into song and the apartment lady got mad. I was yelling for them to stop singing because I knew if they didn't we wouldn't get the apartment.

I ended up going with another friend into the city to make an arts and crafts project. We needed a large roll of drafting paper and were choosing between different types. I was also trying to go into a co-worker's parent's furniture and spice store to find a specifically shaped piece of foam.


(This one was another quick dream I had that night)

A friend of my brother had graffitied the outside of our parents' house. One of them was dedicated to me. It had aliens in it.

Pig Trauma, Dreamed 2-9-11

(Recently one of my 2 guinea pigs passed away in real life. He's the little brown one in the picture.)

I was cleaning my guinea pig cage. I couldn't find my living pig and I thought that he had died too. I was chatting online with someone speaking as my guinea pig. I went to find him and eventually did. I was trying to give him a bath in the toilet and he pooped in the water. While all of this was going on the person online was still chatting with me, telling me what my pig was thinking.

Sleeping Zoo, Dreamed 2-9-11

I was at a friend's house. There was a long, wide hallway scattered with live, teddy bear sized 'koala bears.' They were fluffy and pastel colored with light speckles. There were also similarly colored and sized horses and jungle cats. People were scattered around in the hallway either sleeping or playing with the animals. Some of the animals were ferocious.

My friend was at the end of the hallway bundled up and cuddled up with her housemate. Her housemate woke up while I was standing near them. He shook his head and suggested that I didn't wake her up.

I was sitting on a bed when an article of clothing, also on the bed, began sliding off. One of the pastel animals was sleeping inside of it. I grabbed it in time to pull the animal back on the bed before it hit the floor.

Rough Day at the Office, Dreamed 1-25-11

I was at my parents' house for the holidays but I was still scheduled to go into work. (I work 4ish hrs away from my parents' house...) I was making my lunch and getting ready to leave when I realized it was 3 pm and I should have been at work hours ago. My dad still insisted that I be home early from work that day.

The office was very sparsely populated. There were no cubical walls or desks anymore, just chairs at round tables. One of my coworkers was using a stair stepper in the middle of the office while working on her project. I was sitting at a table working on something when another coworker sat down next to me with a children's book.

I was receiving angry emails from a coworker who I am on very good terms with. He was mad that I missed his deadline by coming in late. I was trying to still get my part of the work done despite the fact even though I was afraid he'd take the credit away from me.

Mini Dream, Dreamed 1-24-11

I was working with the cast of Glee, specifically Mr. Shu, to help a supersonic transport to take off in the middle of a city street. Some of the other members were scattered around the street busying themselves with other tasks. I don't remember any of the details, just that.

Beach Front Property, Dreamed 2-5-11

I was at my parents' house. The front yard, instead of grass and streets, was a beach. The trees were still present, they were just growing out of the water. I was sitting in the surf pulling shells and unusual rocks out of the water. The water was very clear and the sand was a peachy sort of color, very clean looking.

The very impractical bathing suit top I was wearing came untied. The strings were made of hemp. A friend in the dream came over to help and retie the strings. He started to get a little too handsy in the process. Later in the dream he and I were married and had adopted a child. We were shoveling 'coal' the was mined from the water. The 'coal' looked like iridescent pink and green rocks mixed in with a few small, colorful seashells.

A bunch of people were in a classroom playing hangman on the chalk boards.
