Strange Engagement

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Pizza Dream Location: Part not sure, part my house. The Dream: I was in a classroom, or something of that sort. I was feeling anxious, because Richard had apparently just proposed to me. I was unable to give him a yes or no answer, but I was panicking about what to do. I remember running out of the room... And ending up in my own bedroom. Richard was laying comfortably on my bed. I started changing my clothes in front of him, but suddenly realized the window curtains were open. There was some strange, large automobile outside the window, and there were two guys and a girl inside of it. The guy in the back was pointing at me and grinning wide as I was getting naked. The other two were laughing. Richard noticed that they were staring at me, but didn't even move to close the curtains. I quickly ducked down to hide behind my bed frame, with only my head staring over it to watch the people in the large mobile. I'm pretty sure the people from the...

Hair Dying

Notes: I can't seem to sleep long enough to really have a dream, thanks to the cold I'm currently suffering from. Foods Eaten: Chicken Noodle Soup Dream Location: Moshi Moshi Hair Salon The Dream: I've just walked into the hair salon I went to to get my last hair cut/dye, Moshi Moshi. I'm sort of nervous, because the last hair cut I got from them I hated. I see the lady who works on my hair, Julianna. She had a much shorter, but prettier hair cut than the last time I saw her. She saw me and shyly waved hello, motioning for me to go sit at her spot. I sat in the chair, she came up to me. I complimented her new hair cut. She thanked me, then asked if I was ready. In my head I assumed that I was only there to get my hair lightened, so to confirm, I asked, "We're only bleaching my hair, not cutting, right?" She nodded. Though I don't remember this part happening, it was assumed that she had taken me back to shampoo/condition my hair before worki...

First Intentional Lucid Dream

Notes: So, my boss bought me an awesome book about Lucid Dreaming as my Christmas present. I started reading it two nights ago - I barely got into the second chapter last night - and low and behold, I already had a lucid dream. The experience is pretty fascinating, so I'll probably have to be more narrative than I usually am with my dreams. Foods Eaten: Lemon Pepper Chicken Dream Location: Dirt path then Richard's Bedroom The Dream: I am walking along a dirt path, surrounded by lots of people. Everyone is smoking cigarettes, except for me. Lining the path are lots of vendor tables set up, with people selling tshirts, lighters, cds, and other assorted random objects. I stopped to look at something on one of the tables (don't remember what I was looking at), I quickly got distracted by the two women that were running the table. One of them was normal, but the other one was pregnant, and hanging out of her belly button was a lit cigarette. This struck me as strange, a...

That Wasn't Water...

Notes: I had this one in a car nap on the way to SC to see the band, deepfield. Wondering why the dreams I have in cars are so amusing... though this one is slightly gross, too. Foods Eaten: Wendy's Snack Wrap Dream Location: In Richard's Mustang The Dream: I was sitting in the passenger seat of Richard's mustang. I had just woken up from a nap and was extremely thirsty. I reached for one of the cups of water that were sitting in his cup holder. There wasn't very much left in it, and I quickly chugged it down. Right after I set the empty cup back in the cup holder, Richard looked at me and said, "Ummm..." I was quizzical, responding with, "What?" He said, "That wasn't water..." Still not understanding, I gave him a puzzled look. He continued, "Don't you remember what we did before you fell asleep...? That was the cup you spit it in ..." I immediately understood and got mad, yelling at him, "Why did you give m...

On A Mountain

Notes: I was beat last night... went to a Sister Hazel concert and passed out hard. I remembered the dream this morning, but not much of it anymore... hoping something will re-trigger the memory. Foods Eaten: French fries Dream Location: Mountain? The Dream: We were in my recently ex/in-limbo boyfriend's mustang, he was driving. I was in the passenger seat. We were going up a steep mountain, with no railings on the side. Every time he turned around a corner, I thought we were going to die. We reached the mountain top and got out... Memory currently ends there.

Airport Birthday

Notes: Alarm clock woke me up, and I knew I'd had a dream - it took me a good five minutes to go through a million different thoughts about what it could be before a thought about a dog shaped cake crossed my mind, and that was it. Foods Eaten: Eggnog Dream Location: Airport The Dream: I was walking down an airport terminal with my cousin Rachel. There were a bunch of guys I didn't really know following us. Rachel walked into a big room that branched off the terminal, but it was set up like a classroom. There were lots of tables with chairs behind them, all facing the same direction. Teenagers were sitting at them. Rachel sat down at one of the desks, and I followed her. I don't think I sat down on anything, but I don't remember standing either. Actually, I don't remember a class happening at all after that, but I knew time had passed. We got up and Rachel walked to a table across the room. There was a guy there that I had never met, but he took the for...

Estrogen Injection

Notes: ...I'm sure this one was interesting if I could remember more of it. Foods Eaten: Greek Salad (I think?) Dream Location: Not sure The Dream: I had a thought about the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert I went to last Wednesday that triggered a sense of "dream deja-vu," but I couldn't remember anything else. The only other thing I remember was... I was outside on what looked like a road through the middle of a lush, grassy field. I was running, full of adrenalin, but I was in dire need of what I'm going to call an "estrogen injection" - I needed a straight shot of estrogen. Now that I'm in awake land, I have no idea why, what, where, or anything about the rest of the premises of this dream. Unfortunately.

Pill Thief

Notes: Fell asleep on a couch, had this one. Foods Eaten: Bojangles Breakfast Biscuit thingy Dream Location: Nate/Greyson's house The Dream: I was sitting on the couch nearest to Nate's room, with Nate. Matt Wynne had just showed up and walked in the room on crutches. He said he'd just got in a car accident and also broke his ankle. He then proceeded to ask Nate if he could have some of his Percocets to kill the pain. Nate opened up his coat and pulled his prescribed pills out of one of the inside pockets. He handed two of them to Matt. Relatively uneventful, but sort of funny. The back story here is that Nate was in a car accident with Matt driving, and Nate got his ankle broken. Matt suffered minor bruises. My dream gave him payback, I guess.

Earthquake

Notes: Went to a friend's house last night... then had this dream when I got home. Foods Eaten: Steak Dream Location: Friend's house The Dream: I was in an older house, it was made of brown wood, and was raised by large pillars off the ground. It had a wrap around porch/deck on it, and from that a swinging bridge that connected it to another piece of house. I had just walked across the swinging bridge to the main part of the house. There were a couple of stairs leading up to the door to go inside, and I started walking up them. I was almost inside, when suddenly the entire house started shaking. It was definitely a noticeable shake, but not strong enough to knock me off balance. After the shaking ended, I quickly ran inside. Lots of old friends were there, including Hannah, Dylan, Nate, Greyson, and a few new people, Daniel, Robin, and Alyssa (people that I actually met for the first time last night). I asked all of them, "Did we just have an earthquake?!" ...

Sheets and Hair

Notes: Slept like crap last night, I kept waking up because of heavy rain and wind. Foods Eaten: Pizza Dream Location: Not Enough Info to Identify The Dream: The first thing I remember is looking in a mirror and pulling the front of my hair back. I had apparently just bleached that part of my hair, and I noted it looked a lot more white than it did the last time I bleached it. The second thing I remember was myself laying in my boyfriend's bed. An old aquaintence from grade school, John Holt, grabbed a sheet from the floor and threw it on top of me. The end. I know, pathetic.

The Coffey House

Notes: What I remember is vague. Foods Eaten: Probably eggnog or a cookie. Dream Location: Skewed version of family friend John Coffey's House The Dream: I was at my family's close friend, John Coffey's house. The house wasn't really a house, but more like a stand alone apartment. Maybe a townhouse. I remember John and his wife, Ting, were in the process of selling the house, but it was really gross. The carpets and walls were filthy. I remember walking into the bathroom, then sitting on the toilet. I was wearing all my clothes, and wasn't actually trying to use the bathroom, I was just sitting on the seat. An unidentifiable friend of mine came in the room, which surprised me. I remember talking to them for a minute, then running out the door. I remember something else about opening a garage door, but I don't remember what that was about either...

Panera and Interactive Menus

Notes: This dream was actually sort of creative. Foods Eaten: Eggnog Dream Location: In a quaint sort of neighborhood The Dream: I was walking with my boyfriend along a sidewalk in a very typical American sort of neighborhood. The houses were small and cute, all white wood paneled, with the white picket fence in front. Most of the people that lived in the houses were outdoors doing lawn work, whether it be watering and/or planting flowers, or mowing the grass. Each house also had a street sign in front of it, and on the metal pole attached to the sign, were some sort of indescribable object. I knew that the objects were some sort of prank, and if you touched or activated it, there was also a hose attached to the pole, that would shoot water at you. My boyfriend and I had been joined by my co-workers, Alex, Casey, and Leila. I warned them all to not touch the objects attached to the street signs. We all laughed about them being prank jokes. We ended up walking through a very lu...

Relation to Eminem

Notes: I have no idea why my subconscious was thinking about this. Foods Eaten: Shrimp Fried Rice Dream Location: Outside in between an elementary and middle school, likely in New York The Dream: I was at a family reunion for my Mom's side of the family, presumably in New York, as that's where most of those family reunions are held. The reunion is outside, in a grassy area, but there are two, large brick buildings on each side of the designated area. Somehow I knew they were both schools, though they weren't any school I went to or was familiar with. There was a small river running straight through the field, and there were monkey bars that crossed over the river. I went to the monkey bars with my pregnant cousin, Rachel. She went up first, swiftly crossing to the other side. I climbed up the ladder, but just rested against the first one. There was no way I was getting across without falling in the river. Rachel asked if I was coming, I told her there was no way. ...

Twisted Video Game

Notes: This one was slightly sporadic. The beginning is a bit gruesome. Foods Eaten: Taco Salad Dream Location: Inside a video game, inside a random house, and outside a twisted version of my house. The Dream: First, I was playing a very twisted video game with my sister. We were actual characters, inside of the video game... not actually using controllers of any sort. There wasn't terribly much of a plot line, but the characters were supposed to represent some sort of hunter, each having a pet dog. The objective of the game was to get to the next level by finding the hidden upgrade dog in each level and catching it to become yours. This doesn't sound so bad, except, in order to catch it, you had to kill the dog. Then you had to rip out the dog's entrails to be used as some sort of magical armor, which allowed you to summon whatever type of dog the organ/intestines armor came from. At any rate, my sister and I were playing and about to finish the first level. I ...

Cell Phone Paranoia

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Eggplant Parmesan Dream Location: A strange version of my boyfriend's house The Dream: I was in what was obviously my boyfriend's house, though it looked nothing like it. I was sitting on a couch when my boyfriend walked in the room. He had my cell phone in his hand, which he promptly handed to me, and then said, "I just read 200 text messages in your phone." I got extremely paranoid and afraid he had read something that he shouldn't have, even though there is nothing incriminating in my phone.

Snowy Watery World

Notes: This is some continuation of yesterday's scatter-brain-ism. There was some sort of plot in the dream, but it didn't make it to my memory. Foods Eaten: Buffalo Chicken with Bleu Cheese Sammich Dream Location: A unfamiliar neighborhood, unfamiliar body of water, and my house The Dream: I was in a moving vehicle (I'm not sure if it was a car or what, and no idea if there was someone driving it) . My buddy from high school, Matt (aka Penguin) , was in the car with me, along with another unidentified person. I distinctly remember driving down a hill in an unfamiliar neighborhood. It had recently snowed, the roads in the neighborhood had none stuck to them, but all the lawns of the houses were blanketed in snow. We drove outside the neighborhood, and I specifically remember taking a right turn. We went down another hill, but I looked behind us, and at the top of the hill was a very fancy looking house. I saw someone behind the house somehow making a vertical snow...

Scatterbrain

Notes: Another scatter-brained dream. Foods Eaten: Fruit Smoothie Dream Location: No where recognizable. The Dream: (I'm just going to write paragraphs for each of these, because I can't seem to recall the sequence of events. They all just seem like mismatched ideas.) I'm in a family room with my dad. Apparently, I'd collected some loose change and dollar bills from around the house and asked him to deposit them into the bank for me. But he said he counted the money I gave him and it didn't add up right, he said there was some missing from a box. He started making accusations of someone stealing the money from me. (I'm not sure how this makes sense in hindsight,) but I told him that I had added the money from the box to the entire total. He accepted that as fact and said it all added up right after that. I'm riding a horse down a street, it's dark out. I don't seem to have an objective, but I get to a cul-de-sac where my sister is standi...

Sneaking Through

Notes: I don't remember a lot of this one, but what I do remember just seems weird. Like my subconscious is trying to sneak things into my head. Foods Eaten: Pesto Pizza Dream Location: Unfamiliar house/building The Dream: I am in a basement. I'm not sure what I'm doing there, but there are jail cells, and apparently some of my friends had to stay the night in them. I'm not obligated to be there, I'm just walking around. The guards eventually let my friends out of the cells. My friends walk out, happy, but then they just disappear. Now I am in a room with strategically placed windows. I don't seem to have a mission, I'm just walking around the room. I suddenly notice something move outside one of the windows through the corner of my eye. I look and see nothing, but I can sense that it is a person. I go back to pacing around the room, and then it happens again. But I get a better look this time, and definitely make out the shape of a male person. I s...

Fruit of the Golf

Notes: Finally had an excessively vivid and detailed dream. Foods Eaten: Eggnog Dream Location: It was at a sort of strip mall, outside. Lots of stores. The thing that seemed most out of place in hindsight was that there was a stadium attached to the strip mall... with a regular sort of store entrance. The Dream: I was at CVS with my dad. I'm not totally sure why I was there, but I knew my dad was dropping me of at a UNC basketball game after we left. I also knew that the stadium where the basketball game was at was right next to the CVS. My dad asked me if I was ready to go, I told him to hold on a second. I was walking through the aisles until I got to the back of the store and noticed that they had a relatively nice looking buffet bar. There was tons of food, but I was suddenly looking specifically for yogurt, which was conveniently lined against the back of the buffet. I picked up a cup of cherry flavor, and promptly told my dad I was ready. When we left the store, m...

Drinking with Monsters

Notes: My memory of this dream is interesting. I remember tons of pieces of the dream, but I seem to not remember the parts that would piece it together. So it seems just like a bunch of random, separate thoughts. Foods Eaten: Eggnog Dream Location: Boyfriend's basement, some sort of Tavern, a hotel room? The Dream:  I was sitting on a couch in my boyfriend's basement. He was sitting next to me. I felt crappy, I was stuffed up and sneezing. I knew I had a cold... I'm in a tavern of some sort. It's a party, I guess. My boss is there and a handful of other people that I couldn't put a name to. I have a drink or two, and begin dancing on the table we were sitting at. After my dance, I promptly rush myself out the door and head back to my boyfriend's house, worrying the whole time that he will think I am wasted. But now I'm watching some girl in a hotel room. She is sitting on the bed, and she has a kid with her. I'm not sure if it's her kid,...

Games Mixing Again

Notes: You know you've played too many video games when... Foods Eaten: Eggnog Dream Location: Inside a video game? The Dream: I had just logged into a game I used to play (and probably mentioned before in dreams) , called Avalon. One of my friends that also play, Christian, immediately ran up to me (in his character form) to greet me. He was excited to see me, asking where I'd been. I don't remember answering him. Somehow my boyfriend was also there, even though he doesn't play Avalon. I ran up to him and showed him that we could use "runes" to "level up" our "skills" like in Sacred 2. I remember exclaiming at him, "No wonder we suck at this game so much! We didn't even know about the runes!" No clue what else happened.

Rain, Tattoos and Big Cats

Notes: It was really weird, I saw a black smudge mark (probably from my eye makeup) on my arm while I was in the shower this morning, and it triggered my memory for this dream. Foods Eaten: Eggnog and Cookies! Dream Location: Foresty area, Hotel? The Dream: I was in a car with my parents, we were driving through a very grassy and foresty area, with a river running beside the path we were on. It wasn't a solid road, just a dirt path. It was pouring rain, we could barley see out the windows of the car, but I pointed out some sort of clear tube/tunnel that crossed over the river. It had water running through it, it looked sort of like a water slide. We drove past a clearing that had tons of mushrooms in it. I remember someone talking about it for a minute, but I don't think it was anyone in the car, and I don't know what they said. Next thing I know, I am in a large room (imaybe a hotel lobby?) with my best friend, Mary, and our other friend, Angela. They are both a...

What Video Games Do To Me

Notes: So, my boyfriend and I bought the game Sacred 2 for xbox this weekend, and we probably spent about 50% of the weekend playing it, so I'm pretty sure this is where that came from, even though I don't remember almost any of the dream. Foods Eaten: Chicken Alfredo Dream Location: Nowhere recognizable The Dream: All I remember was standing around a huge dragon with a bunch of other people. My boyfriend was there, and we were both attacking the dragon. I was floating in the air above the dragon's head, I remember seeing a health bar over it... No clue what else happened.

Underwear

Notes: To be honest, I'm not even sure if this is worth mentioning, because the title of this journal is seriously all I remember about the dream. I know there was something with underwear. I don't know why, I don't know where and I don't know why...

Scully's Average Day?

Notes: I'm really failing with the dream memory lately... Foods Eaten: Hot Buffalo Wings Dream Location: Large Building/Mall? The Dream: I was immersed in a TV show or movie, I think. I was watching Agent Scully, from the X-files, standing with three other girls. They appeared to be outside of a large building, probably a hotel. The three girls caught a bus or taxi to go somewhere, Scully said she would catch up with them, and started running after the bus in her high heels. Suddenly, I was in a large mall, with my little sister. We had just run up an escalator, and ran into a large department store. There were shelves surrounding us, and they were stacked high with cans of soup. My sister grabbed a can of chicken noodle soup and exclaimed, "OH! I looove chicken noodle soup!" Most of the rest of the guts of this dream are lost in my memory. The dream ended with an actual credit roll, right before the alarm clock woke me up.

All Over the Pretty Mountain

Notes: This was the most vivid dream I've recalled having in a couple days. I had one the day before this, but I forgot to update and that dream has now been sucked into the memory void. Foods Eaten: Salad and Onion Soup Dream Location: It was on some sort of gorgeous mountain, I remember it with great detail. It was tree-less, but covered in brilliant green grass, except for the snow-capped top. The Dream: I was standing next to a path that leads to a creek in my backyard. I was with a couple of my relatives (though I don't remember which ones specifically), we were waiting for my parents. Apparently they were on a bike ride, because we were only paying attention to people that biked past on the path, announcing "not them" as each one passed. After a few moments, I finally see my mom and dad on the path in the distance. They talked to each other for a minute, but it was odd. I could see my mom as two people, they both looked exactly the same, but they represe...

Unfaithfully Innocent

Notes: I had this dream a couple weeks ago, but failed to write it down. Oddly, I was looking at someone's facebook page when it sparked the memory back in my head. Foods Eaten: Don't Remember Dream Location: At a friend's apartment (I've never actually been to) The Dream: (I'm sure there was a preface to this, but this is where my belated memory remembers) I'm inside a friend from college, Rob's, house. I know he had been dating a girl that I have never met before, Samantha, for a couple of years now (oddly, when I had this dream, it was a couple days after they broke up, but in the dream, they were still together) . She wasn't there, and Rob and I were just chilling and chatting. The conversation we were having evolved from just friendly chit chat to him admitting he had some attraction to me as more than friends, and had since college. He just never acted on it. I didn't act awkward or anything, I think I actually felt somewhat flatter,...

Can't Catch a Break II

Notes: Grrr... another work dream? Foods Eaten: Enchilada, Quesedilla Dream Location: Not a clue The Dream: I was on my way to a meeting with my coworker, Alex. I had a sketch of a redesign for a page of our company's website that I was working on, Alex was going to give me some feedback and tell me what he needed on the page. We were meeting at some restaurant, I was apparently walking there. To the left of the sidewalk I was on, there was a huge/tall fence, holding back hundreds of people. They were holding signs, and rallying (I presume this was some leftovers in my head from going to Jon Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear in DC on Saturday) . When I got to the restaurant, it was just a bunch of picnic tables with waitress walking around. I sat down at one of them to wait for Alex, and this girl I barely know, Jessica, walks up to my table and sits down. She immediately started jibber-jabbering away at me, though I was mostly ignoring her. I noticed she...

Mushrooms to Restore Sanity

Notes: This dream was pretty funny. I was carpooling with 5 other people up to DC to go to Jon Stewart/Steven Colbert's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. We left at around 4:00 am, so I was dead tired... fell asleep on the way up. Foods Eaten: Muffin Dream Location: Inside a car The Dream: I was laying on my boyfriend's lap, in the backseat of a large car. Mike and Craig were in front of me, Alex was driving and Casey was in the front passenger seat. (This is actually how we were all sitting in the car, too). I had just woken up from a nap, and was thirsty. Casey passed a glass of grape juice to Mike, who then poured a bag of Shrooms into the glass (this happened without my noticing in the dream, even though I saw it happen. Hard to explain?). Mike passed the glass of juice back to me, which I quickly drank all of. I started drifting back to sleep, but suddenly started feeling very strange. I quickly recognized the feeling as the body high of mushrooms. I sat straigh...

Can't Catch A Break

Notes: Ugh, I hate these kinds of dreams. Foods Eaten: Wild Carolina BBQ Wings Dream Location: In my bed The Dream: I was laying in bed when my phone rang. I answered it, and it was my boss. I remember her specifically asking me to make a change to the coding of our website's search area on the homepage, and I had to explain to her how the page was set up and why I couldn't change it until last minute. That's all I can remember, but it sucks when you wake up by alarm clock and have to go to work and deal with those kinds of questions and explanations all day.

The Wendy's Receipt

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Wheat Thins with Cream Cheese Dream Location: My house The Dream: I was standing outside my neighbor's house. Glancing across the street, I could clearly see a young girl in my driveway, looking at a cat. I walked back to my house to talk to her. She more or less ignored me when I got to her, she was just focused on intently watching the cat (not even sure if it was my cat). I got distracted when my ex-boyfriend, Nate, showed up. He walked up to me and asked me to go get him food from Wendy's. I, in an annoyed tone, told him no. A few minutes later, my current boyfriend showed up. I was still outside, but Nate had gone inside. My boyfriend and I exchanged our usual greetings, then we walked up on to my porch to go inside. I noticed there was a receipt taped to the outside of the door, and I could tell it was a Wendy's receipt. For some reason, I started getting paranoid that my boyfriend would think something was up between Nate and I,...

Richard's "New" Mustang

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Sour Cream and Cheddar Chips Dream Location: No earthly clue. The Dream: Par for my dreams lately, I know stuff happened before this but don't remember what. I'm in a parking lot. My boyfriend shows up - he's driving a mustang, but it isn't a new one and it isn't his usual one. I thought he was supposed to be getting a new mustang, so I asked him what was going on. He explained that the dealer offered him a better trade in on a mustang newer than his, but not brand new, so he took the deal and figured he would just wait a little longer for the brand new one. I didn't really understand. I briefly remember being in the attic of a building or house... there was a strange contraption that I don't know how to explain, except that you had to wiggle your way through it, and that hair easily got stuck in it. I don't remember the significance of it. I also remember the HR at my job, Jeff, showing up in my cul-de-sac, driving...

Not My 350z

Notes: ...I'm going through a phase of only being able to remember small portions of my dream. Not sure whats up with that. Foods Eaten: Eggplant Parmesan Dream Location: Random House, Race Track The Dream: I know there was more before this, but don't know what it was. My memory starts at... I appear to have just arrived at a vacation house of sorts. There are a number of people there, but I really only notice my Dad. All of us are standing on the wrap around porch attached to the house. I look over in the driveway and get really excited to see a silver 350z. I got my dad's attention and pointed at it, then ran over to it. My dad said, "The owner of the house gave us the key to use the car while we're here too." He then handed me the key. Getting closer to the 350z, I realized that it wasn't silver, but actually a very ugly and very metallic green with metallic orange accents. I pondered how it could look colorful close up, but silver far away....

Hitting on Heroin

Notes: Slept like crap last night. Surprised a dream came out of waking up once an hour. Foods Eaten: Chicken, Rice, Brocoli Dream Location: In a handful of houses in a seemingly random neighborhood The Dream: I *know* there was something going on before where my memory really kicks in, but I don't know what it was. I was walking up some steps built into a rather steep hill, that apparently lead to my neighbor's house. I'm not really sure what the purpose of my journey was, but when I got to the top of the steps, I was in a dark, dreary, and foresty backyard. The house was hidden from view of anybody looking from the bottom of the hill I'd just climbed it, it was behind a thick line of trees and bushes. The backyard seemed almost like a blacksmith's shop. There was a counter with a woman pacing behind it. She ignored me. I kept walking until I ran into a person I knew and haven't seen or talked to in years, John Palumbo. He appeared to be actually black...

Work as Usual

Notes: ...boring in comparison to some recent ones. I don't remember a lot of it, either. For some reason I swear I remember something about the band Anberlin being in this dream, but I have NO idea where. Foods Eaten: Chicken Parmesean Dream Location: Work The Dream: I was sitting at my usual desk, I don't recall doing anything in particular. I remember there was a new person in the room with me, plus my other coworker, Leila. The catalog manager at my company came in the room and said she was leaving. She asked if I needed anything, but I said no... she promptly left the room. I think I had this between alarm clock snoozes or something... not sure, but I know the alarm clock woke me up.

Beyond Mindfuck

Notes: I have NO idea what provoked this dream. I cannot begin to express how badly it fucked with me - and as far as I know, it is only the second lucid dream I have ever had. If you can call it that. I'm going to try and italic this post up a bit so it will hopefully make more sense to the reader. TLDR; I had a lucid dream within a lucid dream. Foods Eaten: Subway and Eggnog (yummmm! I think this may be the culprit for this crazy dream.) Dream Location: Boyfriend's House... plus other various... The Dream: (It begins as a dream inside my dream) I am at my boyfriend's house, in the bedroom laying in bed, completely under the covers - head included. I feel something jump on top of me, it starts to claw gently into the covers on top of me and purr, and I realize that it's a cat. (The dream inside a dream becomes lucid) I suddenly notice that something is completely off - I'm not sure why there is a cat jumping on me, or who's cat it is, because my b...

The Sand Dollar

Notes: I swear this dream felt like it just kept going and going forever... Foods Eaten: I've forgotten... Dream Location: Hotel? Beach? House? Ocean... The Dream: I'm laying on a hardwood floor in a sleeping bag. Looking around, I see my sister in the room and my cousin, Rachel. I get up and walk into another room, there are more people there, all relatives. I notice my cousin, Dave, and my Aunt Sue. We appear to be in a hotel room. The door to the room opens, it's my dad. He tells us all to be quiet, something about the guy on the floor below us wanting to kill somebody. I'm not sure how I ended up where I was next, but I was standing in waste deep ocean water with my mom and dad. They were talking to me, maybe arguing, but I can't remember. I decide to walk into shore. When I get there, I notice an upscale looking beach house. There is a set of stairs outside, leading to a porch and the entrance of the house. Behind the stairs is a small pond of ocean w...

Hanging out with HIM

Notes: I wish! Foods Eaten: Hot Chocolate with a big ass marshmallow and two alcoholic beverages Dream Location: Skewed version of my house, Banquet Hall The Dream: I was on a sidewalk in some sort of  city neighborhood. It reminded me a lot of Buffalo, New York; where my Grandma lives. I crossed the street and entered a house - apparently a strange version of my family's house - it was laid out exactly the same, but seemed more... vintage, I guess. It was extremely messy and cluttered inside, there were boxes and paper everywhere. I felt compelled to clean up our foyer table, at least. I seem to recall talking to my dad, and arguing with my sister, though I don't remember about what. I ended up storming out of the house. Next thing I know, I am inside some very large banquet hall... apparently they were having the VMA awards there. I bumped into a girl that I did not know, she asked, "Do you know the band HIM? They're from Sweden or something, I think."...

Dogs and Rope Swings

Notes: For some reason, the thought that triggered this memory was my best friend's name, Mary. But I can't seem to recall her being anywhere in this dream. Weird. Foods Eaten: Apple... I think that's all I really had for dinner Dream Location: In a car, at an unfamiliar lake house The Dream: I was in a car with my boyfriend, my ex-boyfriend, John, and my Dad driving. We were talking about pets, particularly me wanting to adopt a Pomeranian. When I mentioned adopting a Pomeranian out loud, my boyfriend made a face at me, so I appended my statement - changing Pomeranian to American Eskimo - the kind of dog my boyfriend wants. My boyfriend and Dad didn't seem overly enthused by the conversation, but my ex offered some support, talking about how his parents let his twin sister adopt a dog, and also let him adopt his own dog as well. Transition... I was now standing outside in the backyard of a small lake house. My dad and boyfriend were still there, now accompan...

Running Away from Nothing

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Mac n' Cheese Dream Location: Too many places... The Dream: I was in a cafe of sorts, when I noticed an old friend, Matt Johnson (this is particularly weird, because he is now in jail with no bond, on trial for murder) . I was sort of excited to see him, I ran up to where he was sitting and asked if he remembered me, and he said of course he did. I asked him how he got out of jail, what he was doing there, etc. I don't remember his answers, but I remember him pulling a gun slyly out of an inner jacket pocket, and telling me that he was going to kill Mary - my best friend AND Matt's ex-girlfriend. I didn't outwardly act concerned, but I inwardly I was trying to figure out what to do. The next thing I knew, I was standing in an open parking lot area, still with Matt. There was a sort of brick wall across from us, leading up to a second story of parking lot. Mary was standing there with her boyfriend, Jay. Matt had a gun pointed at her. I w...

From School to Blood

Notes: I'm going to guess this was my pre-Halloween dream... Foods Eaten: Chicken Fajitas Dream Location: No where in particular The Dream: I was back in high school... but it didn't look remotely close to my high school. It was the first day back, I was carrying around a schedule with my classes written on it. I think I was sitting in an Earth Science class... looking at my schedule, my next class was with a teacher named Mr. Davis (this was actually a gym teacher I had in middle school) . When the science class ended, I didn't want to go to Mr. Davis' class because I thought it would be boring. A few other kids with the same class had the same opinion, so we all just stood around the science room trying to decide whether to go to the next class or not. Finally, the Earth Science teacher came up to us and we asked him if he knew what the next class was called. The Earth Science teacher said, "Verizon." We wondered what on earth a class called "Ve...

Cat Lady Roommate

Notes: I think I dream more in the morning... like right before the alarm clock goes off. Because I could swear I had this dream in between a 10 minutes snooze. Foods Eaten: Grilled Chicken Sammich Dream Location: South Carolina, Neighbor's House The Dream: I was in South Carolina, visiting my cousin Josh. I'd met him outside on a main street of a city during night time - Josh was taking photos of the night life (he is a professional photographer). We went back to his house after not too long, but his house turned out to be my next door neighbor's house. As we walked down the driveway, a girl came to open the door. She was a very pretty girl, and I was sort of surprised. I looked at my cousin and said, "THAT'S your roomate?!" He just grinned and said "Yup!" in reply. I said, "Wow, she's hot!" (I have no idea where that came from...) Josh laughed and responded with, "I know, isn't she?!" (It really sounded just li...

I Can Has Towel?

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: None, had a bad headache Dream Location: Hotel... Somewhere The Dream: (I don't think this is where the dream started, but this is where my memory starts.) I was standing inside a giant room - it seemed sort of like a cafeteria... except not quite. On the wall I was standing closest to, there were tiny showers - like slightly bigger than locker size rectangles with shower heads in them. The doors on them were clear though... people that used them to shower were hanging towels on them so that people couldn't see through the doors. I was in the room to take a shower, but realized I had forgotten my towel. I walked out of the room, into a large hallway with doored rooms on each side. I realized I was in a huge hotel. While I was walking down the hall, I bumped right into my boss. She was with my other coworker, Jenn. They told me our manager, Robbee, was working further down the hall at the gift store. I decided I would go say hi to her before g...

Running Away with Chevelle

Notes: I woke up and remembered this, but I feel like I knew more about what was happening while I was in the dream. Foods Eaten: Salad, Macaroni and Cheese Dream Location: Parking Lot The Dream: I was inside of a tall building, it was all white, with a few glass windows. There was a glass elevator. The floors of the building were spiral shaped, there weren't actual stairs anywhere... it just gradually went up. I was running up the spiral building, and looking across from me I could see the members of the band, Chevelle, following me. We were all running away from something, but I don't know what. I found a door that led outside into a parking lot. The lead singer of Chevelle, Pete Loeffler, pointed at the band van and told me to run for it. We all ran across the parking lot and jumped into the back of their van... I heard loud noises, like explosions, but I don't remember seeing them.

Chased at the Beach

Notes: My dreams are sort of uncreative lately. Foods Eaten: Greek Salad Dream Location: Beach...ish? The Dream: I was inside the garage of a house - I don't know who's. The garage doors are open and I can see that the house has a very long black driveway - it's deep into a forest. (I was doing something in the garage, but I can't recall what.) I saw my boyfriend walking down the driveway, and I ran to go greet him. We turned around and walked back up the driveway, though I don't remember a mentioning of where we were going. My boyfriend was agitated with me about something, for some reason I recall it being whatever shoes I was (or maybe wasn't) wearing. We ended up walking about half a mile, and then we were in a beach-side town. There were lots of buildings and restaurants, and no matter which side of the road I looked on, I could see the ocean behind the buildings. We walked onto a long pier/dock. There were guards lining it, they were guarding a...

Zombie-Alien Dream in a Dream

Notes: So usually my boyfriend wants to have nothing to do with my dreams. Last time I told him one of them, he declared me insane and told me to stop telling him my crazy dreams. Well, last night, I guess he wanted to test out the Bleu Cheese dream theory (as in, he heard bleu cheese makes for crazy dreams). I happily obliged! And I dunno if he had any crazy ones, but here's mine. Also, this dream "felt" really intense and in the dream I felt scared - especially at the beginning, but my dreams don't actually scare me anymore. Foods Eaten: Buffalo Wings with lots of Bleu Cheese Dream Location: Boyfriend's House... elsewhere The Dream: I was in my boyfriend's basement, with him and someone else (no clue who it was) . My boyfriend and I were curled up together on his couch, watching X-files. It was an episode about aliens living on earth, and the government's conspiracy theory to destroy them. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, it shocked all o...

Birthday Pool Party at a Lake with Danishes on Top

Notes: Pretty sure Mac n' Cheese is the cause of some of my weirdest and longest dreams. And if your curious about why I dream so specifically of Pomeranian dogs, I really want one, but parents nor boyfriend will let me keep one at their house right now... I clearly enjoy dreaming about them though. Foods Eaten: Mac n' Cheese Dream Location: At a hotel or apartment complex that was right on a very large lake. (The place seemed familiar... but I can't identify it) The Dream: I was in either an upscale hotel room or an apartment/condo. All the furniture was very fancy, there was a balcony outside, and the outer most walls were lined with windows and elegant white curtains. The carpet was a plush white, and my cat, Cinnamon, plus a Pomeranian puppy were sitting on it, along with two other dogs (that I now can't identify in my awake state) . The puppy was calm at first, but then bounced up and bolted into the other room. I called, "Pom Pom!" and it came r...
