Korean Turmoil, Dreamed 9-27-11

A friend of mine from elementary school received an alarming text from her father and her boyfriend who, in this dream, was in the military. A friend of mine text me in all Korean characters. I managed to figure out from the text that he was scared.

I showed up in South Korea with my brother and found out that North Korea were communists and were mobilizing their forces. I told him there might be a war and there might be nukes. Trucks filled with people were driving by. I started running through the streets with a man I didn't know. We were jumping on trash cans and over fences while being chased by North Koreans.

Back home, with my mother, we were shopping and taking in the sights and sounds of wherever we were. Doom was in the air along with the feeling things weren't quite right.

There was a feast for Obama. We went to church. We had to write names on candles to help us get into heaven. I drew the face of the devil and a message that said it wasn't my fault that we were at war.  

Family Affairs, Dreamed 4-26-12

I was with a group of people in a very tall building that had motel style outside railings and overhangs. We were pretty high up on one of these outside hallways when a tornado started to form several hundred feet away. We all held on to the railing as the storm approached closer. It made an effort to come over and try to blow us away. It wasn't able to blow anyone away and soon dissipated.

I was in my bedroom at my parents house. I was in my pajamas and kept trying to close and lock the door but it kept swinging open so I laid on the floor on the far side of my bed. I could see the hallway from the space under my bed. My dad came in with a string of orange lights, (the bulbs were contained in plastic oranges, like the fruit) and started hanging them along the ceiling.

My brother came into the room. He had a tongue piercing and had his 2 canine teeth removed for aesthetic purposes. He was one of those people who like to hang heavy things from the holes in their body. He hung a glass mug from the hole in his tongue. At one point, he was dressed like a viking, showing me and someone else the sorts of things he could hang from his tongue.

Race to the Top, Dreamed 3-11-12

I was watching a competition with a group of people. There was a structure that sort of looked like a concave mountain face. At the bottom there was a huge, seemingly bottomless, pit, lined with mirrors. As you go upward the structure looked more like a rock face. Three people were competing. At the top of the 'mountain' there were 3 scaffolding style platforms loosely tied together. Once the first person made it to the platforms, they separated, jarring the other two competitors. It was an intense and dangerous competition. Each third of the 'mountain' was designated with different levels of difficulty. The guy in the middle (and in the hardest part of the 'mountain') won. We were pretty skeptical since he would have been the one to go through the bottomless pit.

After the race, I went looking for a ladies room. There was a building behind the competition arena. There were all sorts of different categorizes of men's rooms but not so much in the way of ladies rooms. I was still looking when the three guys I just watched race, walked down the hall towards me. I stopped to talk to them, telling them how awesome they did in the race.

There was a huge time lapse in the dream. I was now going to be competing in a different race in the same arena. There were four slots and five people. Two people were in their places already. I saw a very young girl behind me, I didn't take the 'easy' track so she could have it. I didn't realize the only track left was the hardest level. Another girl crammed into my lane with me.

The tracks this time were relatively flat with a gradual downgrade. Our track had slippery grass that transitioned into dirt and rocks and puddles. There were hand saws, and other assorted metal tools scattered across the patch. The other girl and I had been tossing them off the track as we ran, barefoot, to the bottom. I reached down to pick up a tool laying in a puddle and was zapped. We then realize that our course had been electrified which was why it was the highest difficulty level.

By the time I made this revelation, I was at the bottom and most of the competitors were halfway to to top again so I picked up the pace to finish the race. I thought I could have won if the other girl wasn't on the track with me.

Close Encounter of the Planetary Kind, Dreamed 9-27-11

I was trying to work with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) that wasn't functioning properly. This particular SEM was in a grocery store. My dad was helping me prepare the rods to work with our sample. Someone else was looking at samples on the microscope.

I put a girl I knew, and didn't particularly like, in the freezer in the grocery store attic. I let her out only when the SEM was able to look at my sample. I was leaving the store and trying to make a scientific statement but was cut off by someone in a higher position of power. I made a comment to a coworker about the cultural difference between our organization and NASA. My coworker agreed.

There were a bunch of people hanging out in the parking lot, looking at the sky. Jupiter was in a close orbit to the Earth. It's ice moon, Io, passed too close to the planet and landed on Earth several hundred feet from where we were hanging out. I tried to take my phone out. The air got cold very fast. I started to feel faint and sick, like the air was being sucked out of the world. I needed to get far enough away so that I wouldn't feel the moon's effect. I managed to get my phone out and take a picture of Io. When I saw him, I told my manager about the moon landing on Earth.

Apparently Jupiter had landed on Earth too. It was placed on display in a store. The 'Jupiter' was a plush ball, 20-30 ft in diameter. It's presence made the store hot and smelly.

I walked outside so I could buy an Io t-shirt. I saw an acquaintance I had been trying to avoid. They introduced me to a friend of mine. I showed my friend the picture of Io. The pictures were of small, fuzzy animals instead of what they were supposed to be. My phone was shaped like a Zune.

Sprucing Up the Yard, Dreamed 1-21-12

I was at my parents house at the end of the driveway. I was watching a bunch of guys cutting down a tree in the woods next to the house. They had to cut it down little by little, doing clumps of branches before taking more of the tree down.

I went into the garage to close the door because my parents had left the house for a little while. I wanted to leave it open just enough for the tree trimmers to come inside. One of the guys was holding on to the bottom handle of the door and when I lifted it up, he was carried to the ceiling by the door. There was a vending machine inside of the garage and a guy I went to high school with was inside getting a soda.

There were trees in the woods that looked like black snakes. They were strait until about the top 30% then they were bent like a snake when a snake slithers back and forth. The top of the tree was a snake's head with the tongue sticking out.

I went in the back yard. The back of the house was a giant mansion with an new addition that had snapped to the front. I don't think it was actually part of my parents house anymore. I went inside of the house. I think the people there were preparing for a party.

Not a Welcome Home, Dreamed 9-22-11

I was at an apartment complex that had a pool. The building was separated from the pool by a set of wide, stadium style concrete steps. The pool area was fenced in. The stairs and the area around the pool was covered with assorted junk.

I noticed sample patterns on the pool water when I looked at it through a blanket.

In the apartment I couldn't turn on the lights. The eventually came on automatically. There were photographs all around of the girl who lived next door to my family when we were kids and Disney characters.

In the living room was a Christmas tree surrounded by presents. There was also a stocking hanging from something. I dumped the stocking out on the floor and there were many little packages inside. A small silver ball started to chase me around the apartment. It wouldn't stop moving and I knew that if it got me it would keep going until it bored a hole through my body.
