Scenes from my Dreams

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: I'm almost certain this dream tried to get me to go lucid twice - first with the noticing of the clocks and secondly with falling asleep while food was cooking. Damnit brain, why didn't you catch on? Foods Eaten: Taco salad The Dream: I was in a car, I cannot remember whether I was the driver or a passenger. I was at a T-intersection with a stop light and there was a house on the right. The house looked fairly old and entirely symmetrical, with a partial concrete gate at the front and a paved (but not well taken care of) sidewalk leading up to it. I remember thinking the house must be divided, like a duplex, and for some reason I knew it was an AirBnB. Although I don't recall thinking about the house being a place where I was supposed to stay and I don't remember pulling into it, I eventually ended up inside of it. It was two stories, with a "floating" staircase. There was a bedroom on the lower floor that I went in and noticed a shelf with a dig...

Notes: Short dream, but the one particular scene was worthy of memory. Foods Eaten: Greek salad The Dream: Trevor and I were together, somewhere the seemed sort of dark and damp. When we rounded a corner, it opened up into a room, and the walls made it apparent that we were in an underground cave. The room was massive and set up like a cheap movie theater, with fold out plastic chairs in rows in 3 sections. There was even a projector and a screen. We opted to sit at a row fairly close to the screen, and the lights dimmed and a movie began to play promptly after we took our seats. I remember a handful of other people being there, but not who they were and it certainly wasn't a full room or like a traditional movie screening. When the movie started, the dream zoomed in on the screen, and revealed that I was in the movie. All I remember is one scene, being in a very fantastical world with vivid green, blue, teal and turquoise colors. There were massive, vibrant butterflies flyi...

Notes: Went to a CKY concert last night, had someone creepily staring at me through the car window for nearly an hour afterward. Got home at 3 AM. I dunno if any of these things actually connected to the dream, but this is the only journal I've kept semi-consistently in life, so it seemed worth noting. Foods Eaten: Salad The Dream: (I'm certain there was more before where my memory kicks in.)  ...Looking around, I was in a large hallway with white tile floor and white brick walls. The kind of hall you see for concession stands in an arena. There was a girl on the floor with one of those plastic containers you use to hold paint in when you're using a roller... except hers was filled with water. And a lobster. I recall thinking that was an odd choice for a pet, but when I got closer and was watching it move around, I could see how it could be kind of cute. I walked away, probably made a circle around the presumed arena. I may have even gone into a seat, it felt like I ha...

Notes: Again... in a cereal coma. Foods Eaten: Cereal The Dream: I had just woken up, abruptly, from a dream. I had to use the bathroom, so I got out of bed, but I was so groggy I immediately fell to the floor. I was trying to shake the sleep state off, but I couldn't get my eyes to open more than a squint. All I could see was the bathroom walls, as I sat on the bedroom floor. I was in a semi-panicked state, trying to figure out what was wrong with me and simultaneously trying to recall what I had been dreaming about. It suddenly clicked... "This is a dream!" Everything went white around me. I took a deep breath and tried to stabilize the dreamstate, looking where the bathroom walls had been. I wanted them to come back so I could continue onward in the dream, but it wasn't happening. While I was in the lucid state, it turned more like semi-lucid. I became aware of my actual body and sounds around me, the dream state seemed confused. I was wondering if my actual...

Notes: It's getting annoying that I can remember so many different parts of a dream, but not the bridges that connect one part to the next. Foods Eaten: Greek Salad The Dream: (Everything is out of order, I don't know what came first in the sequences, going off intuition...) I was standing in a dirt parking lot. There didn't appear to be any major buildings around, and didn't look like anyone had parked in the lot for years. I was with a group of people (friends, I think) and one of them was leading a horse. My sister was standing far opposite us, on the other side of the parking lot. She was riding one of her horses and a few of the other girls that work at her barn were with her, also on horseback. The person near me that had a horse wanted to let it go check out the other horses. Somehow my sister heard and advised that it was a bad idea and not to do that. The person let the horse off its lead anyway and it bolted across the parking lot toward my sister. There ...

Foods Eaten: Apparently Mint Cookies & Cream Milkshakes make for some impressive dreams. The Dream: There's a lot I seem to remember, and a lot I don't seem to remember, and some parts that are out of order or I don't know if they were connected to the same dream or if they were completely different. I'm starting at what I think came first, and would make sense in logical world. Trevor and I were in my car. He was driving and I was trying to use my phone as GPS and relay the directions to him. The GPS image had done that thing where it flips you around before it knows what direction you're really headed, and because of that I told him to turn the wrong way. I didn't immediately realize my mistake until we were a mile down the road and I said, "I think we went the wrong way." Trevor made an annoyed sound and gave me a frustrated look to go with it, but I told him to just keep going. He argued with me for a minute, but I urged to just go the new...

Notes: We've been watching a lot of The Walking Dead lately... Also, I finally finished working on all the "urgent" things flying around in my head. I think my brain leaves room for dream memory when I have a clear mind. Foods eaten: Spaghetti The Dream: I was laying on a bed. My childhood best friend Mary was sitting on the edge of the bed next to me. We were joking and laughing like we hadn't spent a minute apart. I said to her, "I've known you over half my life." I don't recall her response... Next thing I know I was outside of a house on a street that felt familiar (I don't recognize the street at all in consciousness) .  I was staring at a house across the street with Trevor standing next to me. One of us refers to the house as "our neighbors." It had a pool behind a short fence, but the pool hadn't been used in so long that the water was greenish brown and the consistency of mud. Somehow my dog ended up in a different...

Notes: Definitely suffering from post-cruise depression. Foods Eaten: Feta, Olive, Tomato Pizza with Buffalo Sauce The Dream: My boyfriend and I were at what appeared to be a bar with the counter and seats directly facing out the windows of a cruise ship. I was trying to get him to focus on choosing some daily events and excursions with me, but he had a friend that kept distracting him and pulling him away. I seemed to be under some guideline of only being allowed to choose two daily events and one excursion, and the excursion had already been chose. Trying to stay organized, I scanned through the list of events myself while Trevor had his attention elsewhere. My eye caught on one that was called "Atheist Meetup" and I decided that might be an easy way to try and meet and associate with others on the ship. I went ahead to the customer service area and signed us up for the meetup. When Trevor finally caught back up with me, I told him I had signed us up for that and his...
