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: 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: 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: Having lots of dreams with band members in them lately. Clearly excited for ShipRocked. The Dream: I was at an Amorphis concert in an unknown venue. Papa Roach's vocalist Jacoby was off to the left of the stage, on the general admission floor, rocking out with everyone else. I noticed him and went to talk to him, subconsciously thinking about the photo book I made that I wanted to show him. He was excited to see me, gave me a hug and proceeded to talk to me in his typical, over-hyped manor. The conversation didn't feel like it lasted long before he said he had to go, but that we could catch up later. I debated following him out of the venue and running to my car to get the book to show him before he totally disappeared, but I didn't want to leave the show, so I stayed through the end. I'm pretty sure the "venue" ended up just being in someone's actual house. I vaguely recall talking to a few women while I was hanging around after the show, but ...

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...

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: I mostly want to note that I watched a mini-documentary yesterday about a woman who was somewhat brutally killed by her boyfriend. She was somewhat of a hero, saving a younger girl in the process - and the video showed a photo of her post-mortem. I kept waking up last night, not because the woman was actually in my dreams, just because I would picture that exact photo in my sleep. I don't feel like she was trying to haunt me or anything, I wasn't generally scared, just genuinely disturbed and felt/feel sorry for the loss of her, despite not knowing her. Foods eaten: Stir Fry The Dream: I was in a building, it felt familiar, like a work environment (in consciousness, I don't recognize the building at all) . I was sitting at a round table when someone walked by and asked if I was coming to join the potluck. I must have agreed, but before leaving, I recall kneeling on the floor near a bookshelf. I want to say there were toys on the ground that I was playing with......

Notes: I had to get up at 5am, so this was one of those dreams where you're clearly just paranoid you're going to miss your wake up time the whole night... Foods Eaten: The Dream: I was at a bar somewhere in Florida with my friend (and ex) Nate and his girlfriend Marlese. My sister was also in town hanging out with us. I looked at my phone and realized it was 2am so I said, "Shit, I have to get up at 5am, I better go home and get some sleep." Making the decision, I start walking to my car. Nate and my sister are in tow to say goodbye. My sister hung back a little ways, letting Nate and I walk down a flight of stares into the parking lot by ourselves. Halfway down the stairs, Nate turns to look at me and our eyes lock and we had one of those moments where our past relationship was clearly flashing through our minds. Although I'm consciously aware that his girlfriend and my sister are only a few steps away, Nate and I lock lips anyway, spending the ni...

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 ...

Notes: This one seemed pretty random. The Dream: I was standing in a parking lot, near a car. A friend who is also a band member appeared near by and walked over to me. We engaged in conversation that I can't recall. I remember seeing a group of people in the distance - some that I could put a name to and some that seemed unfamiliar. I don't remember getting there, but the next thing I remember is laying on a bed with the friend. He was semi-propped up on a pillow and my head was on his chest. It seemed to be a somewhat affectionate moment, but he was crying quite heavily. I seem to remember wondering why, but I'm not sure if I asked or found the answer...

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: I really don't remember much of this dream at all. I know I had another dream (or perhaps a further continuation of this dream), but I forgot it promptly after I woke up. Foods Eaten: Spaghetti Dream Location: I very specifically remember this being on N. Greensboro Street in my town, at the apex of a turn right before a grocery store. The Dream: I'm pretty sure I was in a car, and I don't think I was driving. But I was on N. Greensboro Street, looking out my window. As we went around an all too familiar turn in the road, right before the grocery store, I saw the drummer of the band, deepfield, walking out of a house on the right.

Notes: My mind was active last night, I have a number of vague memories of dreams, but not a very complete recollection of any of them. Foods Eaten: Eggplant Parm Dream Location:  Part in TJ's parent's truck, part in a parking lot outside a hotel or motel? The Dream: I was sitting in the back seat of TJ's parent's white truck. TJ was sitting at the left window seat and I was in the middle, his mom was in the passenger seat and his dad was either driving or missing in action. His mother pulled out a cigarette and started smoking (she doesn't smoke) , and then TJ rolled down the window and started smoking a cigarette as well (he doesn't smoke either) . I became quickly irritated with TJ and resisted swatting the cigarette out of his hand... Somehow we ended up standing around a parking lot outside of a building that appeared to be some sort of motel or hotel. I was facing TJ with my arms wrapped around him, snuggling his chest, when he lit up another ciga...

Notes:  I woke up and remembered this one in strangely vivid detail, and as usual, failed to write it down quickly and forgot 90% of it. Foods Eaten: Steak Dream Location: Some movie-like park The Dream: It was some time in the evening, in a park - like Central Park in New York or something. I was walking around, when I spotted Jessica Alba. I went to go talk to her, she said, "Hi!" in a very bubbly tone. Her hair was a brilliant blonde, and had shimmery metallic strands of gold and silver in it, it was very magical looking. The tips of her hair were also dyed a bright sky blue. I remember trying to talk to her, but she simply just kept saying, "Hi!" in the same bubbly tone. I concluded that she was dumber than a rock. I ended up going to a car (did not make note of who's car or what kind) , but TJ was sitting in it. I told him I met Jessica Alba, and also informed him that she was dumber than a rock. He still wanted to meet her. Don't remember th...

Notes: I must have went in to REM sleep quick last night, because I woke up at 1:00am thanks to a stomach ache and remembered this whole thing. Amazingly, I still remember it the actual morning after. Foods Eaten: Tuna Cerviche Salad Dream Location:  On a highway? The Dream: TJ was driving my 350z, I was in the passenger seat. We were on a highway, though not one I recognized. There weren't many cars out, and it was broad daylight. Suddenly, one of the few cars in front of us slammed on the brakes. TJ did the same, angry about the seemingly unexplained breaking - until I looked out the window and saw a severed arm laying in the middle of one of the lanes. I gasped and did a double take, while pointing it out to TJ. We both cringed, thinking about what kind of accident had to have happened for that, but tried not to stare too long, as there were no other cars fully stopped. There wasn't even police or an ambulance anywhere in sight. Continuing down the road a few miles, we we...

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: This one was the most vivid I've had in quite a while. I've forgotten some of the details already though, unfortunately. Dream Location: Around Charlotte, NC The Dream: I had just entered a large and classic style building with my coworker, John. The building seemed rather upscale and hotel-like, except there was a very classy Subway Restaurant inside of it. Apparently John and I were grabbing a bite to eat together for lunch. I remember ordering some food, a Turkey Sub, I think. And when I went to pay for it, the cashier seemed very secretive and on-a-mission like. He had a somewhat evil grin on his face, and he told me something important, though I don't know what it was he said. I promptly got up to leave, I don't recall whether I ate my sandwich or not. Right as I was about to walk out of the doors, I noticed TJ leaning on the right wall and almost glaring at me. He called me over and began a serious questioning of me, asking why I was getting lunch w...

Notes: So the night before last, I took a B-vitamin, drank orange juice, and ate a banana - all which are supposedly helpful inducing lucid dreams and dream recall. In case you didn't notice, yesterday I didn't remember having a single dream, much less lucid. However I definitely had one that was all over the place last night! Foods Eaten: Greek Salad, Ice cream Dream Location: Some sort of apartment room, in a car, a downtown somewhere... The Dream: For some reason, my first memory is inside of a sort of distraught disheveled room. The carpet was a murky brown color, and it had that really fuzzy shag texture. The walls were a lighter sort of brown, and they were paneled. There was an ugly sofa in the room. My parents were sitting on it. I'm not totally sure what the situation was, but I seem to recall accidentally pushing my dad or leaning on him and him responding in pain. I asked what was wrong, and he said, "Internal bleeding around my chest." I asked ...

Notes: Transposing this one from my dream notes the other day, I didn't remember much of it then, and I remember even less of it now. Dream Location: Some sort of depot store The Dream: I had been walking around a gigantic depot store, seemed most similar to a Target, but more empty than any store I've ever been in. The shelving was miles apart from each other. I recall playing with some random toys in one section, and talking to some random guys - though I don't know what was said or who they were. I seem to recall continually walking around the store, and it eventually turned into an outdoors area. It was a large field of grass, and in the middle there was a tree... with my sister's Jeep wrapped around it. I didn't seem concerned about this, and I think I assumed she was fine. I think I made my way back inside the big store, and ran into an unfamiliar guy who invited me for a drink. I was being my usual charming self, and laughed and accepted in a flirting...

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...
