Scenes from my Dreams

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...

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: Foods Eaten: ... The Dream: I was in North Carolina, visiting my parents. I was sitting on a bed, but I wasn't paying enough attention to recognize if it was familiar or unfamiliar surroundings. I was on the phone, talking to my friend James on speaker phone when my mom walked in the room and asked, "Who is this new guy you're on the phone with all the time?" I half smiled and replied, "Uhh... that's James." My mom gave me a condescending look and questioned, "Should you be on the phone with another man?" Annoyed, I exclaimed, "Mom!" She started to retort and I was now becoming embarrassed that James was still on speaker phone and listening to my mom and I getting heated, so I whispered into the phone, "I gotta go..." and hung up. After mom and I cooled down, I went outside. The surroundings were not my parents backyard, but more of a lake with a secluded beach. I walked into the shallows and sat down in the wa...

Notes: I feel like I've been having some intensely long, random dreams recently. It's kind of weird. Especially given that I'm remembering them so well. The Dream:  I was in a large room, with numerous other unidentified people around. We were about to start some sort of game. I seemed to understand what I was doing in dream state, but now that I'm awake I have no idea what the rules or objective were - I can only assume it was akin to a scavenger hunt. I headed out of the room, which lead directly onto an outdoor cement sidewalk. It seemed like it was on a college campus. I followed the sidewalk, which lead down a slight hill into an area heavily shaded by large trees. I continued following the path, until I was lead right into a house. I automatically knew my way around the house (though I cannot relate to it in waking world) . My sister and mother were there, and acting strange. They very vaguely told me I needed to help them dispose of something. They climbed ...

Dream Location: Somewhere in Hawaii The Dream: I was walking along an eerie, seemingly abandoned bridge or peer over an ocean in Hawaii. There was a group of people walking down the peer with me, including my mom and sister. The ocean wasn't pretty like you'd expect, it seemed like a hurricane had recently come through. The ocean was a muddy dark blue, and the sky was dark and cloudy, verging on a storm. I remember thinking that we should turn back, but continued going anyway, at least until the bridge came to an abrupt stop where part of it collapsed. We didn't have any choice except to turn back now... The next thing I remember... I was sitting at a bar. It was crowded, the floor was carpet, the room was dimly lit and the counters were red. There was a bartender, minding his own business. A guy I did not know approached me and struck up a conversation.

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Greek Salad, Frozen Yogurt Dream Location: On a boat The Dream: The first thing I can remember was swimming around some very clear blue ocean water. I had my camera and my huge new lens, which I was about to take some pictures with. My Aunt Sue had just climbed up a ladder onto the back of a platform, which I'm not sure was a part of a regular old speed boat or a part of the cruise ship we were apparently on. Whatever the case, she posed, as I shot a couple pictures with my camera. The camera was going slow, and I kept missing because my Aunt was moving by the time the picture was actually being taken. I checked to see if the flash was open, because sometimes that causes my camera to be slower. Naturally, it was, so I closed it. I was then able to take my pictures with no flaws. Transitioned... to being back on the cruise ship. I was at a lower floor, and there was a security guy checking ID's as people were coming into the ship. There was an ...

Notes: I'm really slacking with updating this lately... been busy. I've been trying a new method - setting two alarms in the morning, spread an hour apart. The objective here has been to try to induce more lucid dreams and improve dream recollection. I think if I would actually wake up and write the dream that I remember down when the first alarm goes off, I would have higher success ratios. But I do notice that after the first alarm, I tend to be more aware and wonder about a lot more things. Foods Eaten: Eggplant Parm Dream Location: On a boat The Dream: I was laying on a bed that wasn't my own, or a familiar one at all. I believe I had just woken up. I sat up and noticed a small round window. Peering out it, I saw beautiful large blue ocean waves. TJ was in the room with me, and I immediately pointed the waves out to them saying, "Wow! The current is rough today." He agreed. Pondering out loud I said, "I'm surprised I don't have sea sickne...

Notes: If only lucidity had clicked. Foods Eaten: Way too much fondue. Dream Location: The Beach The Dream: I was walking along a very large and very vacant sandy shore. The ocean was a few yards away, with a few droningly small waves. I passed underneath a pier or bridge of sorts, and as I was walking under it, I looked out into the ocean... and saw a large brick church. It had a huge double door entrance with a circular stained window above. The church was about a foot underwater, and though it didn't look like it had been abandoned or forgotten about, it certainly didn't look used either. I recall thinking, "That's an odd place for a church? I wonder what it's doing here?" But not giving it much of another thought. I continued walking along the beach for a minute, then sat down. TJ was now with me and I was talking to him, though I don't know what about. I reached out and drew TJ's initials (TJM) into the sand with my finger. After writing...

Notes: Don't remember a lot of this one, which seems strange, because I swear I slept forever and like a rock. Foods Eaten: Steak Dream Location: Around a small pond or lake The Dream: I was floating in some clear blue beautiful water in a small lake or pond. There was someone, who I think was my friend Aaron, sitting to one side of the lake. I swam towards him, and he told me about some pearls in the bottom of the lake. He asked if I could get them for him. The lake wasn't deep at all, just floating around I could see straight to the sandy bottom. I swam down to the bottom and picked up a round white object that looked pearl-ish. When I brought the object to the surface and examined it above water, I realized that it was actually a small white chocolate egg candy ( I had a couple of these during the day at work yesterday so... ). I dropped the candy back into the water and swam down to look for the real pearls. I came across a very shiny purple object, it was almost l...

Notes: Another dream from my excessively dream packed night. Still blaming alcohol. Dream Location: Outside on a pier over a body of water? The Dream: I was walking down a wooden pier over an unknown body of water. My mom and TJ were walking a few paces behind me. I notice there is a large, round metal tube about a foot off the right side of the pier, running parallel down the entire length of the pier. Looking ahead in the distance, I can see a bunch of people, all in similar bulky uniforms. Looking to the left, I see red lights flashing, and presume it to be a fire truck. Watching them, I can see that they are putting a fire out that had erupted in the metal tube somehow. I continue walking, and walk right past the scene. I observe momentarily, but don't say anything, the continue walking along. Once past it, I somehow end up falling between the pier and the metal tube into the water. I swam to shore, climbed up a rocky wall, and got straight back on the pier. I continue...

Notes: A bit of randomness in this one! Glad I'm starting to remember my dreams better again, and also intrigued with the indirect magic I seem to be incorporating in my dreams lately! Foods Eaten: Cheeze-its! Dream Location: Haunted-ish Forest of Some Sort? The Dream: My recollection starts at being on a path or deserted road in a sort of gloomy forest. It wasn't night out, but it seemed very dull, not full of life like you would expect a forest to be. The trees were all brown, not a peak of green anywhere. TJ was with me, and we were walking down the path up a small hill. We got to the top and the path split. There was a weathered old sign with city names etched into it pointing in each different direction, but I felt deja vu and instinctively said we needed to go down the path to the right. We walked down it and passed some cars parked off the side of the path on top of a pile of dead leaves. One of the cars was distinctively a cream colored convertible VW bug. I jum...

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: It was really weird, I saw a black smudge mark (probably from my eye makeup) on my arm while I was in the shower this morning, and it triggered my memory for this dream. Foods Eaten: Eggnog and Cookies! Dream Location: Foresty area, Hotel? The Dream: I was in a car with my parents, we were driving through a very grassy and foresty area, with a river running beside the path we were on. It wasn't a solid road, just a dirt path. It was pouring rain, we could barley see out the windows of the car, but I pointed out some sort of clear tube/tunnel that crossed over the river. It had water running through it, it looked sort of like a water slide. We drove past a clearing that had tons of mushrooms in it. I remember someone talking about it for a minute, but I don't think it was anyone in the car, and I don't know what they said. Next thing I know, I am in a large room (imaybe a hotel lobby?) with my best friend, Mary, and our other friend, Angela. They are both a...

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: 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...

Notes: So usually my boyfriend wants to have nothing to do with my dreams. Last time I told him one of them, he declared me insane and told me to stop telling him my crazy dreams. Well, last night, I guess he wanted to test out the Bleu Cheese dream theory (as in, he heard bleu cheese makes for crazy dreams). I happily obliged! And I dunno if he had any crazy ones, but here's mine. Also, this dream "felt" really intense and in the dream I felt scared - especially at the beginning, but my dreams don't actually scare me anymore. Foods Eaten: Buffalo Wings with lots of Bleu Cheese Dream Location: Boyfriend's House... elsewhere The Dream: I was in my boyfriend's basement, with him and someone else (no clue who it was) . My boyfriend and I were curled up together on his couch, watching X-files. It was an episode about aliens living on earth, and the government's conspiracy theory to destroy them. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, it shocked all o...

Notes: Pretty sure Mac n' Cheese is the cause of some of my weirdest and longest dreams. And if your curious about why I dream so specifically of Pomeranian dogs, I really want one, but parents nor boyfriend will let me keep one at their house right now... I clearly enjoy dreaming about them though. Foods Eaten: Mac n' Cheese Dream Location: At a hotel or apartment complex that was right on a very large lake. (The place seemed familiar... but I can't identify it) The Dream: I was in either an upscale hotel room or an apartment/condo. All the furniture was very fancy, there was a balcony outside, and the outer most walls were lined with windows and elegant white curtains. The carpet was a plush white, and my cat, Cinnamon, plus a Pomeranian puppy were sitting on it, along with two other dogs (that I now can't identify in my awake state) . The puppy was calm at first, but then bounced up and bolted into the other room. I called, "Pom Pom!" and it came r...

Notes: I <3 x-files. I <3 Sons of Anarchy. Apparently when you watch too many of both in one day, this is what you get. Also, I wasn't actually in this dream at all... just watching it like it was a TV show. Foods Eaten: Don't Remember Dream Location: Scattered... A body of water, a house with rooms similar to mine The Dream: A boy and girl are standing on a dock, next to a large river. The water is flowing quickly, and the dock is wet, as if it had just rained a large amount. There is a contained stairwell at the right of the dock, the girl walks up to it and falls into it. She screams. Fast forward. Agent Scully and Agent Mulder show up, they are scouting the dock. The girl's body is found at the far back edge of the dock, she is covered in blood, beaten to death. There is no sign of the boy. Transition. Agent Scully has just walked inside a house. The front door of the house is exquisite, two stories tall, windows surrounding it. There is another guy wi...

Notes: Overactive dream mind last night. Foods Eaten: Macaroni and Cheese Dream Location: Outside near a river, Inside OWASA (where my dad works, wasn't at all like what it looks like in reality) The Dream: My memory starts with my sister, my mom, and me in our black Toyota Prius. My sister was driving, but didn't have the car's lights on, even though it was dark out, presumably pretty late at night. I was in the passenger seat and noticed that the lights weren't on, I told my sister to turn them on. She started arguing with me, saying she didn't need them. I told her that it was night out, she had to turn them on. My mom, in the backseat, I guess got tired of our arguing and looked at my sister in the rearview mirror and said, "She's right, turn the lights on." My sister turned them on, revealing that we were actually driving through a forest. The dream transitioned, with the three of us walking on a path. The ground was covered in tons an...

Notes: I hope I am not foreseeing my birthday in two weeks! Foods Eaten: Chicken Fajitas Dream Location: Unsure, random lake and random house The Dream: I was sitting on a boat, in the middle of a lake. Now that I've processed the locale, it almost looked like the street I live on had turned into a giant puddle. I jumped out of the boat, and was swimming around. A blue, circular, float appeared, and I climbed on top of it. I looked back to the boat, and realized my sister and boyfriend were there, however didn't see anyone else. It was apparently my birthday party. Somehow we all got to a house... the house was unfamiliar, though I don't recall much about it aside from the back yard. I remember tip-toeing around outside because of dog crap mines being every where. I was trying to get to my boyfriend, who was filling up water balloons. When I got to him, we started arguing about something, though I don't recall what. I just remember using the excuse that it wa...
