Scenes from my Dreams

Foods Eaten: A couple jalapeno-pickle chips as a midnight snack and a cup of chai tea. Notes: I had this one between 8:00 and 9:00 am, after my alarm went off. The Dream: I was in a small house, more like an old trailer with wooden walls, floors, and decorations from the 80's. My family was there, I had just given dad a gift. It was a large photo print, though I don't remember what it was of. He had sprawled it across the floor and as he was looking at it he asked if I could get some paint to fix some spots. When I went to look at what he was talking about, I saw that some areas that should've printed green had printed with pinkish-red spots instead. I blamed it on the printer... I know there was more to this snippet of dream as I remember being in a parking lot full of cars with my sister and I remember being on a bed in a bedroom with someone but I don't remember any other details... ...Next thing I know,  I was at a party in a familiar house (I now recognize it to...

 Notes: This was surely induced by sleeping in the actual bed after sleeping on the couch for a week or two straight. The Dream: I was laying on the floor of a room that I'm pretty sure was indoors and carpeted. My old coworker Robyn was there with my coworker Stephanie, and they were discussing things completely unrelated to me. Stephanie had a notebook crammed full of papers, and as Robyn was asking Stephanie questions, the pages in the notebook were flipping like a gust of wind was blowing them to the next page. I moved toward the notebook and began flipping through the pages myself. Each page had a concert photo in the center of it with a paragraph or so of text above it. At first, the photos looked like they were taken from a cell phone. Simple photos from the crowd at low quality, but as I flipped through them they improved in quality, though were consistently a full stage shot with the crowd in them, taken from the back of a venue. I remember seeing my photography friend Jen...

Foods Eaten: Greek Salad The Dream: I was driving a car with Trevor and my parents as passengers. We were going somewhere called "The Domes." I had been paying attention to the road, and although my family was exchanging conversation, I wasn't absorbing any of the surroundings. At some point, I finally looked up and realized the road was going through these golfball-esque domes. At some point we stopped and got out while inside of one of the domes. There was a bunker-like building that we were walking around. My sister was now there, too. For some reason, we were walking around turning door handles trying to get into other rooms, but they were all locked. Except one, which my sister called out to me saying, "This one isn't locked!" But when we went to turn the handle, it got stuck halfway - like the feeling of someone else trying to turn it from the other side of the door at the same time. We backed away and sure enough, a tall girl dressed in a leather...

Notes: After just two hours of sleep, I was rudely woken up by the sound of a glass falling over in the kitchen. Trevor was already at work, so I was immediately freaked out that someone else was in the house, but my dog was on the bed with me and looked just as confused by the noise. If there was a person in the house, he would've been barking incessantly, so I didn't worry about it and went back to sleep after recalling the equally annoying dream that I'd been woken up from. Foods Eaten: Taco Salad The Dream: Trevor were in a house that more closely resembled the house I grew up in rather than the one we currently live in. It was storming wickedly, with frequent flashes of lightning and cracks of thunder shortly following (I wondered if it was actually storming while this dream was going on... it is storm season in Florida and has been doing daily lately). The wind was also whipping around, to the point that it caused a tree to fall. The tree fell on the roof of the ...

Notes: More from an active night of dreaming, and no surprise... another band involved. Foods Eaten: Taco Salad The Dream: I arrived at a concert venue I'd never been to before to see/photograph Bring Me The Horizon. It seemed like an upscale theater, there was a main level, but credential pick up and entry for photographers was on a lower level. The box office was surrounded by glass windows. I don't remember actually asking for my credentials, but I remember walking down a hallway with more glass windows and opening up a white envelope that had my photo pass inside. The hallway led straight into the photo pit in front of the stage. It was a massive pit, too. The floor was a light hardwood and there was even a small barricaded pathway through the center of the crowd to the soundboard like there would be at a large festival. I dropped my camera bag under a barricade to the right of center and went to pacing around the photo pit as I usually do before a show starts. Event...

Notes: One of many dreams last night... Foods Eaten: Taco Salad The Dream: I was on Discord talking to a friend of mine who goes by the screenname Sarvar. Mid conversation, he quit responding, which is a pretty normal occurrence with him, so I thought nothing of it. I don't recall what else I was doing, but I saw the red notification light up by his name after a few minutes so I figured he'd returned. The message exchange looked like: Sarvar: Hahaha, he fell asleep. Sarvar: This is his brother. Me: ...which brother? Sarvar: I don't know, one of them. We continued exchanging messages for a few minutes and eventually he said his name was Chris, although I don't think he (Sarv) actually has a brother named Chris. Somehow I became convinced that he was Chris Brooks from the New Zealand band Like A Storm and Sarv was actually his brother Matt... the conversation continued on until I eventually found it weird that I was talking to the brother I didn't know, so ...
