Scenes from my Dreams

Foods Eaten: A couple jalapeno-pickle chips as a midnight snack and a cup of chai tea. Notes: I had this one between 8:00 and 9:00 am, after my alarm went off. The Dream: I was in a small house, more like an old trailer with wooden walls, floors, and decorations from the 80's. My family was there, I had just given dad a gift. It was a large photo print, though I don't remember what it was of. He had sprawled it across the floor and as he was looking at it he asked if I could get some paint to fix some spots. When I went to look at what he was talking about, I saw that some areas that should've printed green had printed with pinkish-red spots instead. I blamed it on the printer... I know there was more to this snippet of dream as I remember being in a parking lot full of cars with my sister and I remember being on a bed in a bedroom with someone but I don't remember any other details... ...Next thing I know,  I was at a party in a familiar house (I now recognize it to...

Notes: Active brain last night, don't quite recall what connected where. The Dream: ..I was in a room, sitting on a bed. Unsure who's room, but it seemed like a hotel room layout. The bed was a double and there was a second double bed to the right, and a mini-kitchen past that with counters along the far wall. I was wearing a wedding ring, but after having a conversation with my dad, I took the ring off and threw it in a nearby trash can. It didn't seem to be a sentimental or emotional moment. At some point I ended up with another wedding ring on and Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch walked in the room to tell me that the person I had just married had died. I removed the ring and threw it in the trash, as well, proclaiming that it must not have been meant to be. -- (I woke up, shared the briefs of that dream with Trevor, then fell back asleep after he left for work.) I was driving in a bright yellow Challenger on an interstate. It was at night and another car w...

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: Is it possible to be allergic to cereal? I get EXTREMELY tired after eating it in the morning, when I was otherwise fine. Had to go take a nap and I was only awake for an hour! Foods Eaten: Cereal The Dream: I was at Trevor's work building, in the cafeteria area. One of the employees gave me a little white wicker basket wrapped in plastic and full of stuff, as if it was a welcoming gift. A small, clear jar of a thick liquid that looked kind of like cotton candy caught my eye and I pulled it from the basket. I turned it upside down, watching how the liquid moved, trying to figure out what it was. It almost looked edible but it also looked kind of like soap. I held it up to another employee and asked, "What is this?" The person just smiled in response. Although I wanted to eat it, my lack of knowing what it was stopped me. I walked from the kitchen to the bathrooms. An older woman held the door open for me to let me in and as I walked down the bathroom hall, I...

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 ...

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: The Butcher Babies have been interactive with me on social media lately and I wonder if seeing a notification from them before falling asleep influenced this one at all. Foods eaten: Quesadillas The Dream: ...There was context prior but my memory isn't sharp on what it was...  I was sitting outside at a picnic table - there was a group of picnic tables, maybe six of them together. It must've been a pool party or BBQ of sorts, people were in bathing suits and towels. Heidi of the Butcher Babies was dancing around on top of the picnic tables, bouncing from one to the next. I also recall the guitarist, Henry, being there. I vaguely remember someone offering me a can of coke to drink, and me accepting after some argument and discussion, insisting that I don't drink soda. At some point, I needed to use the restroom. I don't recall walking there, I just remember being in a very elegant mansion that I just knew belonged to one of my family's longtime friend...

Notes: The repetitively appearing deodorant element has me questioning my hygiene today. The Dream: I was in a house with an unfamiliar layout. I was standing on a platform area of a T-intersection of stairs (I could draw it, but no idea how to explain it with words...) . There were wide banister railings on them. At the top, there was a container of pear scented deodorant sitting on the banister (probably my subconscious imposing a dose of reality in there, seeing as I really do have a stick of deodorant on my banister right now) . I don't know why it caught my notice so much. I don't remember the upstairs layout, but I ended up in a bathroom. There were three more sticks of scented deodorants on the counter. Aimlessly, I walked back downstairs, and went down to the right at the T-intersection. As I did so, my ex, TJ, came walking out of a closet. He was wearing a large baggy shirt, and pulling a wife beater over the top of it. I laughed a little bit, as he looked so ridi...

Notes: I swear I remembered more of this... I forgot to write it down earlier today. The Dream: I was standing in a wooded area. There was a four door car parked near us, though there was seemingly no road for it to have traveled on. Nate (an ex-boyfriend) was with me, as was my mother and an old friend, Leroy. The atmosphere seemed very lighthearted. Nate was chit-chatting with my mom and I was catching up with Leroy, but suddenly I noticed Nate kiss my mother on the neck. I stopped focusing on anything else and just watched for a moment. I wasn't feeling jealous or even angry, even as he kissed up her neck and got closer to her lips. When he finally started to go for a full on lip kiss however, it suddenly occurred to me that something was very weird and I interrupted by saying, "Hey! What are you doing?" (I notice in my waking state that this is a form of semi-lucidness, but I didn't get quite there...)  The way it came out was still quite casual and non-accusat...

Notes: It's been forever... I haven't been actively trying to dream recall lately. I strangely thing it's one more thing for my brain to do, even though I'm sleeping for it. My schedule has been so packed recently... Foods Eaten: Salad The Dream: ...as usual, I know there was more than this, I just don't know what...  I was standing on pavement, in somewhat of a rush. The pavement I was standing on seemed to be outside, but not far in front of me there was an enclosure with a garage door on the other side. I ran at it full speed, and just before I would've crashed into it, jumped in the air and took flight. I started to do a 180 to flip around and get out of the enclosure, but the garage door automatically opened, so I continued straight through it. I seem to recall talking to someone else, maybe my sister. You know how when you dream and sometimes you just have a realization that doesn't really come from anywhere, but you go with it anyway...?  I see...

Notes: When I woke up, I remembered a strangely large amount of detail from this dream. It was definitely one of my more vivid ones in a while, unfortunately I seem to have forgotten a bit of it since I failed to quickly transpose it. Foods Eaten: Chicken and broccoli Alfredo Dream Location: A very large and upscale version of our family friend, Lynn Wilson's house. The Dream: I don't remember where it started... but I was walking down a vast hallway. The ceilings were extremely high... something you would see in a castle. Everything seemed so elegant, the doorways were mahogany and nearly the height of the ceiling, and curved and pointed at the top... like what you might see on a church. The walls were half paneled and half covered in a tan and brown scroll patterned wallpaper. One of the doors to my left opened, and looking inside I saw a black and white tiled floor with restaurant tables and waiters walking around the room. There was a busboy collecting dis...

Notes: I find it strange that I had this dream, since I have absolutely no celebrity crush on Keanu Reeves what-so-ever. Dream Location: On a road, in my house The Dream: I was in a car, driving, with my sister in the back seat. It was a metallic blue color, but I'm not sure what type of car it was. I was talking to my sister and I referenced from what she was saying that Keanu Reeves had apparently given me the car and was my boyfriend. I'm not sure how I responded, but I recall suddenly driving through a thick foresty field. The "road" was more of a narrow dirt path that continually curved about. And then I was at home. Keanu Reeves was there, and this time he had apparently just proposed to me. I had accepted the proposal, but I was wondering to myself if it's what I really wanted to do. I even recall thinking "...he's a bit older than me, I'm not even sure how we met and got together, but he's a nice guy and he's famous..." I...

Notes: I really am not sure if this was in some way attached to the other dream I had last night or not, but this part stood out distinctly. Foods Eaten: Steak Dream Location: An older style bathroom The Dream: I was in side of a bathroom with wood paneled walls. There was a medicine cabinet/mirror hanging over a sink. I was fiddling with my lobe piercings as I looked in the mirror and pulled my hair back, realizing that all of my ear piercings had no rings in them except my lobes. I started panicking because my rook piercings and double helix piercings aren't fully healed and I was afraid they would close up. I think I woke myself up in my panic. But as a side note, I have 18 ear piercings - my rooks are my newest (2 weeks old?), with two double helix piercings in my right ear the second newest (3 months old maybe?).

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...

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: One I had a couple days ago, forgot a lot of the details. Foods Eaten: Don't Remember Dream Location: New York, Kernersville The Dream: I was in New York, at one of my mom's annual Family Reunions. As usual, my younger cousins, Emily and Elise, were clinging to me the entire day. They needed to use the restroom, so I said I would walk them there. On the way, Emily lost her shoe somehow... she ran off into the woods to find it. A few minutes later, she came out of the trees and continued walking with Elise and me to the bathroom. Apparently the bathroom we were walking to was inside a very upscale hotel. There was a lady managing a window outside (kind of like a movie theater). I asked her if my cousins could use the bathroom, she said I would have to pay for tickets to get in. Emily and Elise were chattering, and I didn't understand or hear how much the lady said I had to pay, so I just handed her some money from my purse. She gave me some change back in pe...

Notes: You know you've watched far too many xfiles when you are literally dreaming up your own xfiles with Scully and Mulder in them... Oddly, both my boyfriend and I had trouble sleeping last night. Foods Eaten: Cherry-Apple-Peach Pie, Turkey Sub Dream Location: Eerie looking street The Dream: I don't remember the premises of the dream, but I recall Agent Scully and Agent Mulder from the X-files, examining what looked to be a pile of trash on the street. A car drove by and someone got out, and started attacking Mulder. The scene switched to the same guy leaning backwards over a bathroom sink/counter... the guy started peeing, upwards into the air, splashing into the sink (I don't know why it was so graphic). When he finished, he started laughing, saying, "Haha, I peed in his sink.". I wish I remembered more, but I woke up at 5:30 am, recalling only this much.

Notes: I hate this kind of dream because when I wake up, I have to bolt to the bathroom to avoid any embarrassing moments. Foods Eaten: Turkey Sub Dream Location: Unsure, Inside a Car, Inside a Random House The Dream: I was sitting in the back seat of a van... and there was another seat behind me, where this guy who claimed himself to be one of my cousins was sitting. He looked like a guy I knew (not more than by name) in high school, Christian Tardeau. Nothing of significance happened. Relocate to a random house, I don't know who's or why I was there, but I was focused on staring out a window at the pool in the backyard. My cousin, Rachel, was swimming in it. For some reason, I noted that she was wearing the swim suit version of a purple and black dress I own. Suddenly, I really had to pee. I ran to the bathroom and sat down, still looking out the window at my cousin. I was unable to get the relief I needed. Woke up and ran to the bathroom.

Notes: Extremely tired after 11 hour drive home from New York. Fell asleep on my boyfriend's office floor right around noon... Was only asleep until 12:33. Dream Location: Bathroom. Three stalls, two normal, one handicap. One mirror, large counter (didn't notice sinks or accessories). Random fancy black massage chair toilet outside of stalls to the right side of the counter. The Dream: Can't remember where the dream started. Memory starts at pushing open a Woman's Bathroom door... Was about to look in the mirror when a random girl (sort of short, average weight, black hair - presumably Asian) busted in the bathroom and wrapped her arms around me in a big hug, mouthing the words "Wow! It's cold!" (My dreams are mostly mute, mouths move but I hear nothing, but I some how know what people around me are saying.) I agreed that it was cold. Looking to the left in the bathroom was a toilet not inside a stall... Who appeared to be my boss was ...

Notes: While writing down one of my more recent dreams, this one popped into my memory. I have no idea when I actually dreamt it, but it was a while ago. Dream Location: Family Friend's House The Dream: I was at our close family friend, Lynn Wilson's, house (it was nothing like her house actually is). One of her daughters/my old friend, Rachel was there, with her best friend, Lisa Mette. My best friend, Mary, was also there. I remember Mary and I were upstairs, everyone else was downstairs. Lynn was downstairs in the kitchen, talking on the phone. I decided to take a shower, and when I got out, there was a shirt that wasn't mine, laying on the floor. The shirt looked familiar, I recognized it as one of my sisters, so I picked it up and put it on. I have no idea what triggered this memory, or what else happened.
