Scenes from my Dreams

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...

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.

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,...

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...

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....

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...

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.

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...

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...

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."...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...
