Scenes from my Dreams

Foods Eaten: An excessive amount of collard greens. The Dream: I was just waking up to find myself laying in my own bed with a woman. She was definitely someone familiar (gut instinct says it was a girl I just met, Courtney, or my friend Matt's long time girlfriend...). She had her back to me, but upon realizing I was waking up, she rolled over to face me, wrapping her arm around my side. I accepted it but began to question what she was doing there. I said something along the lines of, "What are you doing? What if Derek comes upstairs and sees this?" Her response was only a mischievous smile. Looking over her shoulder and through the doorway of my bedroom, I saw Derek lying on the floor right outside the room, above where the stairs are. He appeared to be sleeping, but one of his arms moved and I began to panic, pushing the girl away from me. Within seconds, Derek was standing at the edge of the bed, and all I had done to conceal the other girl was push her under the c...

Very often, the first thing that will come out of Derek's mouth in the morning is some nonsense that turns into a crazy dream plot, which in turn refreshes my dream memory. Last night, we both had some strange ones - to the point that we gave up on sleep... Foods Eaten: The last thing we ate before going to bed was this Reese's peanut butter bar dessert thing. I blame the peanut butter for the dreams that ensued. The Dream: I was sitting in my own living room, on my own computer. Derek was next to me, also on his computer. We were each doing our usual thing - game playing and internet browsing, and it appeared to be sometime late in the evening. I decided it was time to go to bed, and announced so to Derek. We both went upstairs, but upon reaching the top of the steps he pushed me to the ground in front of our washer and dryer. As I laid on my back, I looked up just in time to watch Derek slam his fist into my face, punching all my teeth out. Suddenly realizing I was dre...

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 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: I had some really elaborate dreams last night, but for some reason I can only recall details about the locations of each - I don't seem to have a clue about the plots or actual happenings in either dream. Foods Eaten: Salad covered in very spicy salsa. The Dream: It was night time, I was at what was a very large and elegant white house. There were three symmetrical octagonal areas at the front with large, full wall windows. Inside each of the three rooms were two tiered floors, decorated with lots of lovely fern plants. One of the areas had a hot tub on the second tier. I seem to remember both Derek and TJ being in the house. I also remember going semi-lucid at some point. I was fully aware that I was dreaming, but I remember trying to push or pull an object and being completely unable to. I even remember thinking to myself, "I'm dreaming, but why can't I interact?"

Notes: Napping while the boyfriend works. Hadn't had one of these jealousy type dreams in a while. Foods Eaten: Eggs and kielbasa Dream Location: A sort of (?) run down gas station at the bottom of a hill surrounded by forest. The Dream: I had just driven up to a gas station in a truck. Derek and Bradley were with me, but meandered off somewhere else. I had parked at a fill up spot, but went inside the store instead. I walked to the employee only area of the shop, which was entirely run down and devoid of pretty much anything. Hearing voices at the store front, I walked to the register area, though I stayed out of sight. Two girls walked up to the counter, they said something, and I recall interacting with them, but I don't recall what the interaction was. As the girls walked out, Bradley walked in and said that we'd be carpooling in the truck up to the bar for the charity bike wash (my boyfriend does actually work at a bar and they were actually having a charity ...

Notes: Frustrated and paranoid. Wonderful. Foods Eaten: Taco Salad The Dream: I very clearly remember standing in an area with brick flooring outside. I'm pretty sure it was a plaza type area, and it was night out. The lighting was streetlights. Derek was standing pretty far away from me, and he was lividly angry with me and yelling at me. I don't remember why, but I remember the yelling stopping for a while and other events (that I don't remember) happening, then it returned to the exact same spot and he resumed yelling at me...

Notes: Another one I had a while ago and failed to transpose. Only details I remember are because of a text I sent to someone special. The Dream: I was standing in a mildly wooded area that was sort of the backyard of a house, which seemingly belonged to my parents (it was a familiar house in the dream, but I don't recognize any aspect of it in consciousness) . It was early evening out and there seemed to be a small get together going on at the house. I'm not sure what I was doing out in the woods, but an acquaintance of mine, Chris, suddenly appeared and approached me. He made small talk for a moment, but I zoned him out as I saw Derek walk out of the house. He took up conversation with some people that I didn't pay enough attention to to notice who they were, but I could see all of the silhouettes lit up as they were standing outside of a window. Chris was still trying to talk to me, I'm pretty sure he was making suggestive comments, but all of my attention was foc...

Notes: I had this dream quite a while back and only vaguely remember it now. The Dream: I don't recall the surroundings or exact people aside from Derek. I saw someone through Derek to a paved surface with a curb, presumably in a parking lot. The group of people shoved his face against the curb and violently began to literally stomp on it. I was bawling, and yet somehow unable to interact with my surroundings to help.
