Scenes from my Dreams

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: 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:  Well, I've slacked off on my dreaming for the last year. It's weird to think that you can be "too busy" to dream, considering it's something you can do whether you're busy or not... But I've recently opened my lucid dreaming book back up and dream memory has slowly started working again. The Dream: I had just arrived at a house, with the knowledge that I was there to be celebrating a friend's return to freedom after serving time for three months. (There is some back story behind this, I met this guy and we really clicked... or so I thought (another long story)... but nothing committed happened because he was going to jail soon.) I was very excited about him being free, but when I walked in the house and he saw me, he made a face of absolute disgust and inquired as to who invited me. A guy standing near us said he did, even though I didn't recognize him. I could tell my friend didn't want me there and I said, "I can leave."...

Notes: I actually remember this dream being a lot longer and more detailed, but memory didn't serve as to what those details were. Foods Eaten: Taco Salad (lunch), Pretzels The Dream: I was standing in a well kept gravel driveway. It was outside a small house with strangely beautiful landscaping. I was standing next to a black car, and my old family friend Kathryn Wilson was across from me. I'm not sure why, but I remember taking a pair of shoes from her... There must have been some sort of transition before this next piece? I ended up inside of a house, it was a downstairs that had a brownish color scheme to it, and the walls and flooring were wood paneling. I don't remember much, just that Richard was there and he had gotten Erin, his significant other, pregnant. For some reason, I remember making fun of him about how he was always getting girls knocked up, even though I don't think he ever has...

Notes: I half wonder if me wearing TJ's hoodie to sleep last night had any effect on this dream, since his ex gave it to him. Foods Eaten: ACP Dream Location: In a fancy house, and on a gravel road The Dream: I was in a very fancy and large, but old victorian style home. It was white, with columns in the front, and TJ was there, along with my exes, Richard and Nate. Each were there with girls, though they were unfamiliar girls. And all of the guys were passing around the girls - including me! I don't recall actually doing anything with either Richard or Nate, but talking to them and asking them how they were and what they were doing. But when I got back around to TJ, he was sitting with a new girl - who I recognized promptly as his ex, Helen. He had his hand on her thigh, and she was kissing his neck. Even though I was angry, I was strangely calm. I asked him what he was doing, and why. I don't think he gave me an answer, before I ran out of the house. I was runni...

Notes: Another really random odd one. Foods Eaten: Don't remember... Dream Location: Richard's kitchen-ish. The Dream: I was standing in Richard's kitchen, everything was pretty normal, except it seemed much brighter than actuality. I was walking around the kitchen, with what appeared to be pizza dough in my hands, except that it was much more gooey and yellow - like it had been covered in eggs. I just kept pacing around the kitchen, kneeding the dough and dropping pieces of it everywhere. Richard came in the room and immediately got upset with me for leaving disgusting goo all over his kitchen... I only remember him yelling at me for a minute, then I walked out of the kitchen and down his upstairs hallway, still moulding the dough. Woke up?

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Mashed Potatoes & Ribs Dream Location: Not fully sure, inside a car at some point The Dream: I don't remember much in particular about this dream. I know the my co-worker Dan and his wife Lynn were there, and two of "his" kids were there - but the two kids were actually my cousins Mary Anne and Nate. At some point, we were in a car. Dan was driving, his wife in the passenger seat. I was in the middle of the back seat, with Mary Anne to my left and Nate to my right. I think we were trying to run away from something... like the end of the world maybe. I remember we stopped somewhere, everyone got out of the car. I think we were camping for a night. I'm not sure why, maybe I dropped something, but I ended up having to crawl underneath the car for whatever reason. When I got underneath it, the car started lowering itself, trapping me under it and then sealing itself to the road. I was struggling to find a way out, with no luck... a...

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Pizza Dream Location: Part not sure, part my house. The Dream: I was in a classroom, or something of that sort. I was feeling anxious, because Richard had apparently just proposed to me. I was unable to give him a yes or no answer, but I was panicking about what to do. I remember running out of the room... And ending up in my own bedroom. Richard was laying comfortably on my bed. I started changing my clothes in front of him, but suddenly realized the window curtains were open. There was some strange, large automobile outside the window, and there were two guys and a girl inside of it. The guy in the back was pointing at me and grinning wide as I was getting naked. The other two were laughing. Richard noticed that they were staring at me, but didn't even move to close the curtains. I quickly ducked down to hide behind my bed frame, with only my head staring over it to watch the people in the large mobile. I'm pretty sure the people from the...

Notes: So, my boss bought me an awesome book about Lucid Dreaming as my Christmas present. I started reading it two nights ago - I barely got into the second chapter last night - and low and behold, I already had a lucid dream. The experience is pretty fascinating, so I'll probably have to be more narrative than I usually am with my dreams. Foods Eaten: Lemon Pepper Chicken Dream Location: Dirt path then Richard's Bedroom The Dream: I am walking along a dirt path, surrounded by lots of people. Everyone is smoking cigarettes, except for me. Lining the path are lots of vendor tables set up, with people selling tshirts, lighters, cds, and other assorted random objects. I stopped to look at something on one of the tables (don't remember what I was looking at), I quickly got distracted by the two women that were running the table. One of them was normal, but the other one was pregnant, and hanging out of her belly button was a lit cigarette. This struck me as strange, a...

Notes: I had this one in a car nap on the way to SC to see the band, deepfield. Wondering why the dreams I have in cars are so amusing... though this one is slightly gross, too. Foods Eaten: Wendy's Snack Wrap Dream Location: In Richard's Mustang The Dream: I was sitting in the passenger seat of Richard's mustang. I had just woken up from a nap and was extremely thirsty. I reached for one of the cups of water that were sitting in his cup holder. There wasn't very much left in it, and I quickly chugged it down. Right after I set the empty cup back in the cup holder, Richard looked at me and said, "Ummm..." I was quizzical, responding with, "What?" He said, "That wasn't water..." Still not understanding, I gave him a puzzled look. He continued, "Don't you remember what we did before you fell asleep...? That was the cup you spit it in ..." I immediately understood and got mad, yelling at him, "Why did you give m...

Notes: I was beat last night... went to a Sister Hazel concert and passed out hard. I remembered the dream this morning, but not much of it anymore... hoping something will re-trigger the memory. Foods Eaten: French fries Dream Location: Mountain? The Dream: We were in my recently ex/in-limbo boyfriend's mustang, he was driving. I was in the passenger seat. We were going up a steep mountain, with no railings on the side. Every time he turned around a corner, I thought we were going to die. We reached the mountain top and got out... Memory currently ends there.

Notes: Fell asleep on a couch, had this one. Foods Eaten: Bojangles Breakfast Biscuit thingy Dream Location: Nate/Greyson's house The Dream: I was sitting on the couch nearest to Nate's room, with Nate. Matt Wynne had just showed up and walked in the room on crutches. He said he'd just got in a car accident and also broke his ankle. He then proceeded to ask Nate if he could have some of his Percocets to kill the pain. Nate opened up his coat and pulled his prescribed pills out of one of the inside pockets. He handed two of them to Matt. Relatively uneventful, but sort of funny. The back story here is that Nate was in a car accident with Matt driving, and Nate got his ankle broken. Matt suffered minor bruises. My dream gave him payback, I guess.

Notes: Went to a friend's house last night... then had this dream when I got home. Foods Eaten: Steak Dream Location: Friend's house The Dream: I was in an older house, it was made of brown wood, and was raised by large pillars off the ground. It had a wrap around porch/deck on it, and from that a swinging bridge that connected it to another piece of house. I had just walked across the swinging bridge to the main part of the house. There were a couple of stairs leading up to the door to go inside, and I started walking up them. I was almost inside, when suddenly the entire house started shaking. It was definitely a noticeable shake, but not strong enough to knock me off balance. After the shaking ended, I quickly ran inside. Lots of old friends were there, including Hannah, Dylan, Nate, Greyson, and a few new people, Daniel, Robin, and Alyssa (people that I actually met for the first time last night). I asked all of them, "Did we just have an earthquake?!" ...

Notes: This dream was actually sort of creative. Foods Eaten: Eggnog Dream Location: In a quaint sort of neighborhood The Dream: I was walking with my boyfriend along a sidewalk in a very typical American sort of neighborhood. The houses were small and cute, all white wood paneled, with the white picket fence in front. Most of the people that lived in the houses were outdoors doing lawn work, whether it be watering and/or planting flowers, or mowing the grass. Each house also had a street sign in front of it, and on the metal pole attached to the sign, were some sort of indescribable object. I knew that the objects were some sort of prank, and if you touched or activated it, there was also a hose attached to the pole, that would shoot water at you. My boyfriend and I had been joined by my co-workers, Alex, Casey, and Leila. I warned them all to not touch the objects attached to the street signs. We all laughed about them being prank jokes. We ended up walking through a very lu...

Notes: This one was slightly sporadic. The beginning is a bit gruesome. Foods Eaten: Taco Salad Dream Location: Inside a video game, inside a random house, and outside a twisted version of my house. The Dream: First, I was playing a very twisted video game with my sister. We were actual characters, inside of the video game... not actually using controllers of any sort. There wasn't terribly much of a plot line, but the characters were supposed to represent some sort of hunter, each having a pet dog. The objective of the game was to get to the next level by finding the hidden upgrade dog in each level and catching it to become yours. This doesn't sound so bad, except, in order to catch it, you had to kill the dog. Then you had to rip out the dog's entrails to be used as some sort of magical armor, which allowed you to summon whatever type of dog the organ/intestines armor came from. At any rate, my sister and I were playing and about to finish the first level. I ...

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Eggplant Parmesan Dream Location: A strange version of my boyfriend's house The Dream: I was in what was obviously my boyfriend's house, though it looked nothing like it. I was sitting on a couch when my boyfriend walked in the room. He had my cell phone in his hand, which he promptly handed to me, and then said, "I just read 200 text messages in your phone." I got extremely paranoid and afraid he had read something that he shouldn't have, even though there is nothing incriminating in my phone.

Notes: I don't remember a lot of this one, but what I do remember just seems weird. Like my subconscious is trying to sneak things into my head. Foods Eaten: Pesto Pizza Dream Location: Unfamiliar house/building The Dream: I am in a basement. I'm not sure what I'm doing there, but there are jail cells, and apparently some of my friends had to stay the night in them. I'm not obligated to be there, I'm just walking around. The guards eventually let my friends out of the cells. My friends walk out, happy, but then they just disappear. Now I am in a room with strategically placed windows. I don't seem to have a mission, I'm just walking around the room. I suddenly notice something move outside one of the windows through the corner of my eye. I look and see nothing, but I can sense that it is a person. I go back to pacing around the room, and then it happens again. But I get a better look this time, and definitely make out the shape of a male person. I s...

Notes: Finally had an excessively vivid and detailed dream. Foods Eaten: Eggnog Dream Location: It was at a sort of strip mall, outside. Lots of stores. The thing that seemed most out of place in hindsight was that there was a stadium attached to the strip mall... with a regular sort of store entrance. The Dream: I was at CVS with my dad. I'm not totally sure why I was there, but I knew my dad was dropping me of at a UNC basketball game after we left. I also knew that the stadium where the basketball game was at was right next to the CVS. My dad asked me if I was ready to go, I told him to hold on a second. I was walking through the aisles until I got to the back of the store and noticed that they had a relatively nice looking buffet bar. There was tons of food, but I was suddenly looking specifically for yogurt, which was conveniently lined against the back of the buffet. I picked up a cup of cherry flavor, and promptly told my dad I was ready. When we left the store, m...

Notes: My memory of this dream is interesting. I remember tons of pieces of the dream, but I seem to not remember the parts that would piece it together. So it seems just like a bunch of random, separate thoughts. Foods Eaten: Eggnog Dream Location: Boyfriend's basement, some sort of Tavern, a hotel room? The Dream:  I was sitting on a couch in my boyfriend's basement. He was sitting next to me. I felt crappy, I was stuffed up and sneezing. I knew I had a cold... I'm in a tavern of some sort. It's a party, I guess. My boss is there and a handful of other people that I couldn't put a name to. I have a drink or two, and begin dancing on the table we were sitting at. After my dance, I promptly rush myself out the door and head back to my boyfriend's house, worrying the whole time that he will think I am wasted. But now I'm watching some girl in a hotel room. She is sitting on the bed, and she has a kid with her. I'm not sure if it's her kid,...
