Don't Eat Reese's Before Bed

Very often, the first thing that will come out of Derek's mouth in the morning is some nonsense that turns into a crazy dream plot, which in turn refreshes my dream memory. Last night, we both had some strange ones - to the point that we gave up on sleep...

Foods Eaten: The last thing we ate before going to bed was this Reese's peanut butter bar dessert thing. I blame the peanut butter for the dreams that ensued.

The Dream:
I was sitting in my own living room, on my own computer. Derek was next to me, also on his computer. We were each doing our usual thing - game playing and internet browsing, and it appeared to be sometime late in the evening. I decided it was time to go to bed, and announced so to Derek. We both went upstairs, but upon reaching the top of the steps he pushed me to the ground in front of our washer and dryer. As I laid on my back, I looked up just in time to watch Derek slam his fist into my face, punching all my teeth out.

Suddenly realizing I was dreaming... I tried to wake myself up. The dream snapped from the setting it was in to a black void, but I was in a panic trying to get out of the dream. I remember trying to wake my fiance up through my thoughts, repeatedly going "Derek, wake me up! Derek, wake me up!" I can't remember how, but eventually I did come to consciousness, realizing that I had been shoving my face so deeply into Derek's back that I was biting him. Explains the teeth dream.

In my nightmare induced paranoia I stayed awake for a few minutes. It was raining outside, so I was listening to the drops fall. Eventually I drifted back to sleep...

And then I was very abruptly awoken by Derek bellowing the words, "GET OUTTA MY HOUSE!" and it was only upon the word "house" when he came to his own consciousness, a moment too late to stop himself from finishing his exclamation. I had already looked at the clock and noted that it was 6:15am and that he was dreaming. His first words to me were "What did I just say?" - I filled him in, then he filled me in on the dream he was having that a bunch of witches were breaking into the house and he was preparing to attack them with swords. We had a good laugh about how confused they neighbors he probably just woke up were, then decided between our dreams that we'd had enough sleep for the time being.

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.

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...

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...
