Scenes from my Dreams

The Dream: I remember being outside somewhere and walking in the opposite direction from a really massive line of people. I passed by the guitarist of Killswitch Engage (I think) and for whatever reason, swapped earplugs with him (it was a quick swap, like we were both already holding them in our hands and just reached out and did a high five exchange when I walked by). Continued walking, go to the end of whatever road we were on and it went from being in a populated and well taken care of city to being some desolate looking street. I remember a school bus across the middle of the road and a McDonalds that looked like it had been abandoned. Looked like video game graphics when there's a war going on, basically. There were other people with me at this point and they started pouring oil on everything... like we were running from something and creating blockages/deterrents. So the school bus gets set on fire, along with various other objects and buildings in the perimeter. We had p...

The Dream: I recall being at a large amphitheatre, and there was an obstacle course on the stage set up with stairs. There were races being held, to see who could run fastest from the back of the amphitheatre through to obstacle course and to the end first. Apparently I was involved in this race. Before starting, one of the other participants pointed out some stairs that I hadn't even seen. I said, "Ugh, we have to run through all this? No way I'm gonna win.." One of the organizers responded, "It's not just getting through, when you..." (I've failed to finish transposing this dream until months later and I don't recall the precise details anymore - only the concept, which is as follows...) I ended up running through the obstacle course at lightning speed. I remember the exit of it went through a garage, and there was some sort of fight for a key. I also recall their being fire pits, but inevitably, I did win the race.

Notes:  Going to have to attribute this one to having dinner with TJ and his parents and half the discussion revolving around pranks involving fireworks... Even though it seems mean, the entire dream had a very playful and fun nature to it. Foods Eaten: Eggplant Parm Dream Location: A road and then in a field... The Dream: I was in motion going down a one way asphalt road, I don't know if I was in a car or running or what. I saw my dog running down the road ahead of me, and I was chasing after him. He veered off the road onto a sidewalk in front of some old town shops. I know for sure I was running on foot at this point, jumping over plants and various extrusions in the sidewalk. My dog approached a busy corner at full speed, and ran straight across the road with no regard for the cars around. He ran into the outside patio area of a McDonalds, and I was cursing under my breath at the dog for not listening to me. There was a line of small hedges surrounding the pati...

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: 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: Dream memory is sporadic this morning... wish I remembered more. Foods Eaten: Fried Rice, Crab Rangoons Dream Location: Not sure The Dream: I was outside a building, maybe a school. I saw a girl I knew from college, Lacie. I'm not sure how the conversation between us started, but I remember her asking how I could be so popular and so nice at the same time. I explained to her that it was because of how I was in high school. I wrapped my arm over her shoulder, and we walked together down a sidewalk. Complete transition. I was in a bedroom. There was a bed (or maybe a bunk bed?) on the right side of the room, I was laying on it. There was a window on the opposite side of the room, that I was looking out. I could hear planes flying over me, they sounded abnormally low to the ground. My dad came in the room, I think we had some sort of dialogue exchange about the planes. After a minute of him being in the room though, I saw a plane coming straight towards the w...

Notes: This dream started out like I was reading a book. Like I had read a prelude or something and got dropped off in the middle of the book. Foods Eaten: Having trouble remembering what we ate... Chocolate Cake, that's what I remember. Dream Location: Mt. Helena (except it was an island) The Dream: I was dropped off on an island, except it was also a mountain. There was an old woman standing there, she came over to talk to me. She told me that a couple had come to the island we were standing on, years ago, thinking that it was a Caribbean island, but they realized they were wrong when it got extremely cold, discovering that it was actually Mt. Helena. She was laughing happily as she told the story, as if she found it very amusing at the mistake. After I talked to her, I walked around the island-mountain. It was covered in being rocks, and there were objects, like mini-volcanos - they had hollow centers, filled with a bubbling beige substance. It looked like it was boili...
