Scenes from my Dreams

Notes: Very random celebrity appearance. I must be excited for his new album? Foods Eaten: Salad, a few rum and cokes The Dream: I was at my office, in a room with my boss and coworker, Nadia. I recall asking permission to take an extended lunch hour, which my boss was fine with. I somehow ended up sitting in my car in a parking lot outside of a mall. Mark Tremonti (guitarist for Alter Bridge/Creed) was now in my passenger seat. There seems to be a large gap in my memory but this is what I can recall... It had gotten late, and I'd forgotten about work until I got a text message from my boss that read something like, "When are you coming back? There's a lot to do and I'm really stressed out..." I replied to her with a lie of, "Sorry! We are on the way." But at that point,  Mark got out of my car and turned his attention to a crappy white car parked next to me - which was apparently his car. It was having troubles starting, and he had the hood up ...

Dream Location: On a cruise ship The Dream: I was wandering around a cruise ship with TJ. We got in one of the elevators together, and I guess decided to pick a random number and hit it. The floor we happened to pick was the 13th floor, and when the elevator doors opened up to it, it had been completely demolished, and seemed as if we walked into it, we would be sucked into a black hole. We quickly closed the doors and went back to the main floor. On the ride down, I was thinking about how strange the missing floor seemed, and the thought that I might be dreaming crossed my mind, though I didn't actually seem to process it. Exiting on to the main floor, there seemed to be some kind of award ceremony going on. I passed by an old family friend, Emily Murray, who had just won some sort of prize. My mother's name was also called, and she walked up to a podium, where she too, received an award. While receiving it, I ran up to her and hugged her and had a teary, sentimental mome...

Notes: I read my lucid dreaming book last night, the section I read about "what you expect" is what happens. Though I wasn't lucid, I can see sort of that playing in this dream. (Expect TJ to be angry, expected his mom to not know if I played innocent, expect TJ to not know if I pretended.) It's curious. Foods Eaten: Ice Cream Dream Location: TJ's House The Dream: I was at some variation of TJ's house. He had just left to go to class or some such, and I was the only one at his house. I walked into the kitchen and pulled out a plate and fork, preparing to find something to eat. I opened the fridge and set the plate with the fork on top of it down on a shelf in there so I could get something else. I'm not sure what happened with the food idea, but I guess I abandoned it. While TJ was out, some daring part of me decided I wanted to put my 350z in their garage. When I went to the garage, TJ's Trans Am was already there. I went inside and grabbed...

Notes: I don't remember terribly much about this one. Foods Eaten: Pasta, Salad Dream Location: On a road The Dream: I was in a car, driving along an empty road in the dead of night. It was drizzling rain out, which didn't bother me. But as I continued to drive, the rain got heavier, and I decided to turn on the windshield wipers. I flicked the switch, and noticed that I accidentally pushed it too far and had turned my windshield cleaner thing on. I moved the switch back, so that just the wipers were going. As I kept driving, I realized that even though I had turned the cleaner off, it was still spraying on my windshield, and it was spraying so much that between the rain and it, I couldn't see the road at all. I hit the switch a couple times again, frustratedly trying to turn it off... but every time I hit the switch it just kept coming out faster. And suddenly it kicked in that something wasn't right and I was dreaming... and unfortunately woke myself up.

Notes: Sporadic memory. Foods Eaten: Taco Salad Dream Location: Field, Shed... The Dream: I was standing under a shed in the middle of a vacant field. There was an area to the back with a desk/podium thing. A lady was standing behind it, checking passports or some such, as if we were at an airport. I walked over to her and handed her something, I'm not sure what. Moments later, my dad showed up and walked over to myself and the lady. I'm not sure if he said anything to her, but she told him to, "Go over there (pointing) , flip the gray switch, flip the white switch up, and then pull on the black switch." My dad went to the area she pointed and followed her instructions. Upon completion, a flood of lights in the room came on... (Not sure if this was a completely different dream or a transition or what...) I was in my 350z, with TJ in the passenger seat. We were trying to get somewhere, but I had taken a wrong turn. I suddenly realized that we were in a fiel...

Notes: I actually had this one a couple days ago, but I just now had the (re)memory of it. Dream Location: Half on a cruise ship and half driving through Kentucky... The Dream: I was on the top deck of a cruise ship. There were some other people with me, but I don't recall who. I only vaguely remember running down three flights of stairs with these people... Transition... I'm now inside of my car, in the passenger seat. TJ is driving, I asked him, "How far away from Kentucky are we?" He responded with, "Not very, we can take a detour if you want." I don't think I responded, but moments later we ended up in Kentucky. We turned down a seemingly deserted road, surrounded by autumn trees. I noticed my sisters best friend, Sam, walk through a path in the distance. I pointed her out to TJ, who drove towards her. She saw us, and came over to the car. I rolled my window down to talk to her. She asked if we wanted to go inside, then pointed to an apartme...

Notes: Cruise backlog. Dream Location: I guess my old friend, Tana's house. The Dream: I was driving my 350z around, seemingly aimlessly, but I eventually ended up at my old friend, Tana's house. Her driveway somehow wrapped around her house (which actually looked nothing like her house), but it turned into another street running parallel to the one she lived off of. Unfortunately, the driveway was in terrible condition, and I decided to pull my Z off of it and into the grass on the side instead for safety. Apparently, I was bringing an unfinished puzzle to Tana. The puzzle had a picture of a mother and daughter painted on the left side of it. When I got in her house, Tana's mother had just handed her a present. Tana opened it, revealing a poster with the same mother and daughter pictured on it. She adored the poster, giving me a quick spiel on why it had so much meaning to her, though I don't recall what the reasoning was. I told her, "Well that's cool...

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: 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: Wish this dream would really happen! Foods Eaten: Hot Buffalo Wings Dream Location: Some concert venue (outside), A record store The Dream: I was walking into an outdoors concert venue to see a Sick Puppies concert. I walked down towards the stage, noting how small the crowd seemed, considering how well known Sick Puppies are. As I walked towards the stage, the lead singer, Shim, starting announcing the names of the winners to a contest they were apparently having. The first name he called was mine. I walked up to the stage, where Shim congratulated me, and told me that I would get to hang out with the band after the show. He also explained that I would get a magazine later, and gave me instructions to take a photo of someone at the concert, then find the person afterward and take three more pictures of them. I was told to report to the band when I was done. After Shim finished announcing the winners, they began the concert. Shim only sang the first verse to the song, ...

Notes: Longest dream I've had in a while. Foods Eaten: Pizza, Cherry-Apple-Peach Pie Dream Location: Random Store, Random Hotel, Unknown Beach The Dream: From what I can remember of the beginning, I was walking around a store, with many white shelves set up. There were objects on the shelves, though I don't know what they were. I was walking with two people, one of them, I believe was my friend, Aaron. The other was Asian, he appeared to look like Jet Li's Character, Ying Yang, from The Expendables (which I watched the night before) . The Asian was telling me that I had been voted as president of the store. For some reason, I remember looking at a digital screen, that had a list of the candidates and votes (it was set up similar to a game I used to play, called Avalon) . The two guys and I continued walking, and ended up in a lake. It was rather shallow, deep enough for us to swim, but shallow enough for us to stand. We were swimming through this river, and cha...

Notes: Nothing of mention Foods Eaten: Cheese Enchilada and Chicken Quesadilla Dream Location: Colorado... not really sure on the specifics, I know there was a random creepy house The Dream: As usual, I don't remember where it started. I was driving my 350z, following my best friend, Mary, and her boyfriend, Jay (who was driving in his car, separate from her). I knew we were headed to some house, we had heard about some strange happenings there, and felt the need to go check it out. Mary and Jay started to get way ahead of me, I was losing sight of them. I tried to catch up, but it felt impossible. Suddenly my dad appeared... I guess he was floating beside my car as it was moving. He said something along the lines of, "Colorado makes it feel like you are going a lot faster than you really are." I guess it was supposed to be offering an explanation of why I couldn't keep up. I had totally lost sight of Mary and Jay by that point, but continued driving anyway. I...

Notes: Slept forever again last night. I must be paranoid about my car because I just got the bumper and hood repainted about a week ago. Foods Eaten: Pepperoni & Banana Pepper Pizza, Salad Dream Location: In a skewed version of my neighborhood. The Dream: As usual, no clue where it started. I had apparently given my sister permission to drive my Nissan 350z (weird aspect number one, she doesn't actually know how to drive a manual). I got a phone call from my dad saying that my sister had crashed my car into some electrical "vault" (I don't know what this was actually referring to). My dad and I walked up the street I live on, then took a left turn onto the next street. There was a parking lot on the right side (not actually a parking lot there in reality) that my sister had pulled my car into after the accident. My sister was not hurt at all, so I immediately was furious with her. I was most pissed off because she had ruined the paint job ...
