Scenes from my Dreams

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: 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: Not feeling great, took a random afternoon nap... The Dream: (I'm pretty sure the beginning had to do with a conversation at my boyfriend's parent's house last night... his dad wanted us to check on his sister because she hadn't replied to any texts that day.)  I don't know where I was to start, but I had my phone in my hand. I just received a text from Trevor's dad asking us to check in on his sister Sandy. I had this terrible feeling in my gut, like something was really wrong, so I did a quick Facebook look up and saw people were commenting things like heart emoji's and "We'll miss you," on her profile photo. I decided I needed to go check on her. Although I don't know how I got there, I ended up walking down a long gravel road, clearly in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by forest. I could see a small little house through the woods in the distance that resembled Sandy's house, but something got jumbled along the way. ...

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...

The Dream: I was standing in a hall with a guy figure that I could not see in detail, but I knew was not my fiance. Though I don't directly recall it, my brain wants to say  he was "holding" me in a romantic manner. The guy gently took my hand and walked me up to an elegant bar down the hall. He took a seat at a bar stool, and I sat down next to him, noticing that his figure now looked like a real life version of the cartoon character Cyril from TV show "Archer". Though there were no other physical interactions with him, our togetherness was assumed to be a date. My phone was now sitting on the bar counter, and it vibrating gently, signifying a text message. I opened the message, and it was from my mom. The text read, "Is his [presumably referring to the guy I was with] car at the house?" I gave the question a significant moment of though before coming to the conclusion that we had driven "his" car, so I responded with an nondescript, ...

Notes: I quite literally JUST woke up from this. I kept some odd sleeping hours yesterday/last night. More on that later. Foods Eaten: Uhh, I had some mixed nuts about 30 minutes before this nap. The Dream: I was walking around what appeared to be a large and pretty upscale hotel lobby. The entire interior was a deep sapphire blue color, and there was an elegant spiral staircase in the middle. I recall walking up the stairs and ending, then walking back down them and through the lobby again with my parents. Except this time someone called my name out from the stairwell. Looking up, a male, a familiar face that I can't seem to put a name to, made eye contact with me. He appeared to take off running down the stairs toward me, while I made my way back to the stairs to run up them to him. We must have missed each other and I got distracted by something else, as I ended up in a sort of break room type area. The left wall had a microwave and small fridge with a nice looking brown co...

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Popcorn, Scotch The Dream: I was in my bedroom with Juice (Theo Rossi's character in Sons of Anarchy) . He looked at me sort of flatly and said, "This isn't going to work right now." I guess it was assumed we'd been dating , and I felt my heart sink a little bit when he said that, but wasn't truly upset. I simply just smiled at him and said, "Okay." He hugged me and then went out into the hallway and laid between it and my bedroom door. He seemed overly pensive, but wasn't saying much of anything. I think I was doing the laundry and I remember talking to my dad at some point, but that's about it...

Notes: Glad to be dreaming (and recalling) a little bit again. Foods Eaten: Broccoli The Dream: I remember being at the top of a large hill or mountain, that immediately dropped off into a cliff on the north side. All of my family members were there, and my dad was fascinated by the "crater". I seem to recall him trying to get to the other side, and my sister was helping him. My mom was hanging out near me. There was some sort of loud speaker system that called out a number. (This is where dream brain just kind of went along with and assumed things that don't make sense now looking at it from a waking state.)  I excitedly chimed, "Hey dad, isn't that your number?!" My dad looked down at a ticket stub in his hand with a number on it. (He never replied yes or no, it seemed it didn't matter whether it was or not his number...)  I said, "Hurry up! Go!" He quickly walked off with my sister in tow, while my mom and I stayed put. Though I can...

Notes: I think the excessive amount of potatoes I ate at my parents house yesterday influenced this one... Foods Eaten: Steak and corn Dream Location: A random kitchen The Dream: I'm sure there were things that occurred before this, I recall it being a pretty adventurous dream, but this is the only part I remember... I was standing in a kitchen, it was large, but old. I don't remember many details aside from those about it. I was cooking potatoes, covered them in olive oil and italian spices. I'd thrown them in the oven, and I think I forgot about them until my dad appeared to remind me that they were probably done... And again, I'm sure there was more that happened after this...

Notes: Really odd one this morning... I was definitely in the middle of some deep REM sleep when the alarm clock went off. I still haven't shook off the grogginess. Foods Eaten: Chicken Parm Dream Location: Unsure The Dream: I know there was some sort of prelude to this, I had witnessed (or possibly participated in) the killing of someone (unsure who). I fled the scene with a few others who were there, but ended up with a handful of other people that had not been at the killing. My dad was driving our Jeep, I'm pretty sure Melissa and TJ were also in the car, though we had just arrived at a location I'm not sure how to explain. It was a light wood platform with stores connected to it. There was an octagonal shaped picnic table that we walked over to sit down at. As I approached the table, I noticed odd indentations in the shape of bottle caps. Within each indentation was a coin. I said out loud, "Hey, look at the tables." But everyone else was already takin...

Foods Eaten: Chicken Pasta The Dream: I had just walked into an open white room with a number of office desks in it. The building seemed to be shaped like a modern church more than anything else. A secretary type woman greeted me and handed me some papers to fill out, which was a prequel for a job interview I was about to have. I sat down to fill the papers out, but my mom came into the building and interrupted me. I asked her if it could wait, in an irritated tone, but she said she had something important to tell me. I dropped the paper work and we went for a walk elsewhere inside the building. From what she was telling me, she was implying that I was not my father's child, I was someone else's and dad had adopted me. I was furious with her and refused to talk to her, even though we continued walking together. We went outside and walked down a paved sidewalk that ran straight through an empty field of grass. The sidewalk eventually continued into a small forest of trees t...

Notes:  I've been very slack on my dreaming lately... I have too much going on, which is a poor excuse considering how little effort it *should* take to dream. I've been trying to coax my dream memory into working properly and regularly again. Dream Location:  A large brick house... familiar, but not my own. The Dream: I was wandering around some lush grassy field in front of a very large and beautiful brick house. The house had a small front porch with three brick steps leading up to it. My dad was standing nearby, I think he was gardening or landscaping or something of the sort. My sister suddenly also appeared in the yard, holding a large brown cardboard box. She appeared to be in a state of urgency, as she ran over to me and very quietly exclaimed at me, "Liz! Help! I got this box from the next door neighbors, it's full of 200 snakes! They were going to kill them all but I felt bad for them and took them. But how do we get them inside without dad noticing?...

Dream Location: A restaurant parking lot The Dream: TJ and I had just exited a restaurant we had apparently ate at for dinner with my dad. It was dark out and we were walking around the parking lot. For whatever reason, I ask my dad if I could borrow his car. Right around that moment, my mom also pulled into and parked in the parking lot. She got out as if we were just getting ready to go in to eat dinner, but before we can even exchange hello's, there was a really loud noise that kept continuing and only growing louder. I recall thinking to myself, "That sounds like a tornado." But apparently my mom was having different thoughts, as she asked, "Is that a train?" My dad chimed in, though not in much of a panic, "No, that's a tornado. Take cover." My mom grabbed hold of the side of her car, and I just stood there in a bit of a trance watching the tornado come closer. All I was thinking about was how much I was going to hurt if I survived this. Bu...

Notes: Really strange one. It was detailed, but I've forgotten some of it, or the logical reasoning behind most of it. Dream Location: Fancy hotel The Dream: I was in a very expensive looking hotel, walking through a hallway at a quick pace. I wasn't really me though, I think I was seeing through the eyes of a male character from a TV series (I never really saw "myself", I just get the feeling it was a guy's eyes I was looking through) . I passed a classy looking lady who handed me a small piece of paper. I don't remember specifically what she said when she handed off the paper, but I presumed it was something important. Opening the paper, I read two names - one I knew was the name of the lady that had handed me the paper. I also knew that she was my boss. The other name I wasn't familiar with, but it was a female's name. I felt a need of urgency... so I quickened my pace and walked straight to an elevator. I pressed the button to go down, but...

Notes: I'm just going to assume that this is due to the recent outbreak of tornadoes in my lovely state of NC. I want to see a tornado, but the closest I seem to get is miles away... Dream Location: A hotel, my house The Dream: I was outside taking my puppy for a walk. I distinctly remember walking along a black paved path with lush grass surrounding it. I seem to recall the ground being very moist, as if it had just rained recently. The sky was definitely dark and looked like it was going to storm soon. I think my mom was walking with me, though I don't remember any specific conversation, I seemed to acquire the knowledge that we were at a hotel. I don't ever remember being inside the hotel, but my next distinct memory was back at home. My family was a bit frantic, as it was extremely windy and rainy. I knew we were about to be in or near a tornado. My dad asked me to make sure the garage door was down. I quickly ran to the garage, and the door was in fact NOT clos...

Notes: ... Dream Location: My Front Yard The Dream: I don't recall much of this dream... I know I was in my front yard, and my dad was with me. There were bombs/explosives being dropped from the sky all around us, and when I looked up, there were hundreds of red UFOs. I knew I needed to head for cover, so I ran to our porch to go take cover in my house. As I turned the handle to go inside, I discovered the door was locked. I had my purse on me, which I started to dig through for my keys. As I was digging through it, another bomb exploded close to the porch. Somehow I came to the semi-realization that I must be dreaming, though I didn't seem to be fully in control. I just remember knowing that all I needed to do was get inside my house and I would be safe and the dream would end. As far as I know, I finally got in my house and that's exactly what happened.

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: ...I hate daylight savings time. Slept short and like crap. Foods Eaten: Stuffed Fish Dream Location: Some version of my house... The Dream: I think I had just returned to my house from vacation, and I remember it being some time in the middle of the night, around 1:00am. For some reason there were lots of chocolates and candy bars set up in dishes on our dining room table. I'm not sure why, but I was being sneaky about taking them, like I thought they were my dad's and he would get mad if he saw me eat them. Whatever the case, one of my parents ended up stashing them away. I kept pacing through my house, I must've been unpacking my stuff. I remember thinking that I should send TJ a text to let him know I got home safe, but I decided not to since it was late and I didn't want to wake him up. Eventually I ended up going to bed, I remember looking at a clock and it being 4:00 am. I thought about how I was going to dread going to work in the morning, so I ...

Notes: ... Dream Location: Skewed version of my house The Dream: I was at home with my parents, they were both sitting on the couch next to each other, and I noticed my mom was pregnant. I did not like this one bit, and I think I expressed it, or my dad reprimanded me for it anyway. He ended up leaving, and I decided I also wanted to leave. He disappeared first, then I went to the garage to get in my car, but realized I forgot something unidentified. I went back inside to get my unidentified object, but was disturbed by my mom horrifically screaming from the family room. I went in there, she was simply screaming "HELP!" at the top of her lungs. Somehow I get it in my head that she is about to have the kid prematurely, right there on the couch. I don't want anything to do with it, so I grab a phone and call the doctor, but as I am on the phone with the doctor telling him to come, I see the baby's head pop out of her. I dropped the phone, turned around and wal...

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Cheesey stuff Dream Location: Mostly in a parking lot The Dream: As far as I can trace my memory back, I am sitting on a hardwood floor somewhere with TJ. He is holding a bag of Starburst, which he opens up and proceeds to eat one. Now I'm in a car with my parents, I think it's our Jeep. My dad is driving, my mom is in the passenger seat. I am sitting in the back with TJ. I look out the rear window and notice my friend, Wes, is driving behind us. Though I don't remember the conversations that were taking place, I do remember that we were on the way out to eat - and for some reason, I feel like it was probably going to be at an Italian restaurant. Looking to the right, I saw my sister filling up a car (not sure which one) , at a gas station. She waved at us, and my dad turned right into the gas station. Wes followed. We all got out of our cars to talk about where we were going to meet. The conversation some how turned into my mom breaking ...
