Scenes from my Dreams

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...

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: 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...

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: 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 slept with my hair up in foils last night (dying it), so I didn't get the best sleep in the world. Woke up a lot. Foods Eaten:  Just snacked on random things throughout the day... my hair took too long and by the time I finished I just wanted to go to bed and not eat. Dream Location:  Hotel of some sort The Dream: I was standing on a floor of a hotel, in front of the elevators. There were staircases that spiraled around each side of me. A random, older guy walked out of the elevator and proceeded to complain about foreigners... but he had some sort of European accent. I was kind of amused by his hypocrisy, so I just smiled at him as he walked by. Now I've noticed TJ and my sister are with me. The elevator seems to be taking forever to get to us, so I decide it will be quicker to just go use the stairs. TJ and my sister decide that it's now become a race, especially since right as I started walking up the stairs, the elevator arrived. I ran quickly ...

Notes: I know this dream was pretty in depth, but I can't remember a lot of it. Foods Eaten: Nachos Dream Location: Some hotel The Dream: I don't remember most of it, I have a vague recollection of running into a hotel room after a fire or explosion of some sort, and I remember there being a young boy in the room. I'm not sure what happened, but my dream went on repeat or something, because I remember thinking "didn't that just happen a few minutes ago...?" but after thinking that I can remember what was going on... I had just run out of a shabby old hotel, it was dark out, save for some eerie lighting from street lamps. I was running down the road, which was surrounded by old style buildings and shops. I don't know what I was running from, but after a moment, a lasso type rope was thrown around my neck and pulled tightly so that I was struggling to breathe and talk. I remember seeing the boy that had been in the hotel room and trying to mutter...

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: 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,...

Notes: I'm really failing with the dream memory lately... Foods Eaten: Hot Buffalo Wings Dream Location: Large Building/Mall? The Dream: I was immersed in a TV show or movie, I think. I was watching Agent Scully, from the X-files, standing with three other girls. They appeared to be outside of a large building, probably a hotel. The three girls caught a bus or taxi to go somewhere, Scully said she would catch up with them, and started running after the bus in her high heels. Suddenly, I was in a large mall, with my little sister. We had just run up an escalator, and ran into a large department store. There were shelves surrounding us, and they were stacked high with cans of soup. My sister grabbed a can of chicken noodle soup and exclaimed, "OH! I looove chicken noodle soup!" Most of the rest of the guts of this dream are lost in my memory. The dream ended with an actual credit roll, right before the alarm clock woke me up.

Notes: I swear this dream felt like it just kept going and going forever... Foods Eaten: I've forgotten... Dream Location: Hotel? Beach? House? Ocean... The Dream: I'm laying on a hardwood floor in a sleeping bag. Looking around, I see my sister in the room and my cousin, Rachel. I get up and walk into another room, there are more people there, all relatives. I notice my cousin, Dave, and my Aunt Sue. We appear to be in a hotel room. The door to the room opens, it's my dad. He tells us all to be quiet, something about the guy on the floor below us wanting to kill somebody. I'm not sure how I ended up where I was next, but I was standing in waste deep ocean water with my mom and dad. They were talking to me, maybe arguing, but I can't remember. I decide to walk into shore. When I get there, I notice an upscale looking beach house. There is a set of stairs outside, leading to a porch and the entrance of the house. Behind the stairs is a small pond of ocean w...

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Mac n' Cheese Dream Location: Too many places... The Dream: I was in a cafe of sorts, when I noticed an old friend, Matt Johnson (this is particularly weird, because he is now in jail with no bond, on trial for murder) . I was sort of excited to see him, I ran up to where he was sitting and asked if he remembered me, and he said of course he did. I asked him how he got out of jail, what he was doing there, etc. I don't remember his answers, but I remember him pulling a gun slyly out of an inner jacket pocket, and telling me that he was going to kill Mary - my best friend AND Matt's ex-girlfriend. I didn't outwardly act concerned, but I inwardly I was trying to figure out what to do. The next thing I knew, I was standing in an open parking lot area, still with Matt. There was a sort of brick wall across from us, leading up to a second story of parking lot. Mary was standing there with her boyfriend, Jay. Matt had a gun pointed at her. I w...

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: None, had a bad headache Dream Location: Hotel... Somewhere The Dream: (I don't think this is where the dream started, but this is where my memory starts.) I was standing inside a giant room - it seemed sort of like a cafeteria... except not quite. On the wall I was standing closest to, there were tiny showers - like slightly bigger than locker size rectangles with shower heads in them. The doors on them were clear though... people that used them to shower were hanging towels on them so that people couldn't see through the doors. I was in the room to take a shower, but realized I had forgotten my towel. I walked out of the room, into a large hallway with doored rooms on each side. I realized I was in a huge hotel. While I was walking down the hall, I bumped right into my boss. She was with my other coworker, Jenn. They told me our manager, Robbee, was working further down the hall at the gift store. I decided I would go say hi to her before g...

Notes: One I had a couple days ago, forgot a lot of the details. Foods Eaten: Don't Remember Dream Location: New York, Kernersville The Dream: I was in New York, at one of my mom's annual Family Reunions. As usual, my younger cousins, Emily and Elise, were clinging to me the entire day. They needed to use the restroom, so I said I would walk them there. On the way, Emily lost her shoe somehow... she ran off into the woods to find it. A few minutes later, she came out of the trees and continued walking with Elise and me to the bathroom. Apparently the bathroom we were walking to was inside a very upscale hotel. There was a lady managing a window outside (kind of like a movie theater). I asked her if my cousins could use the bathroom, she said I would have to pay for tickets to get in. Emily and Elise were chattering, and I didn't understand or hear how much the lady said I had to pay, so I just handed her some money from my purse. She gave me some change back in pe...

Notes: Longest dream I've had in a while. Foods Eaten: Pizza, Cherry-Apple-Peach Pie Dream Location: Random Store, Random Hotel, Unknown Beach The Dream: From what I can remember of the beginning, I was walking around a store, with many white shelves set up. There were objects on the shelves, though I don't know what they were. I was walking with two people, one of them, I believe was my friend, Aaron. The other was Asian, he appeared to look like Jet Li's Character, Ying Yang, from The Expendables (which I watched the night before) . The Asian was telling me that I had been voted as president of the store. For some reason, I remember looking at a digital screen, that had a list of the candidates and votes (it was set up similar to a game I used to play, called Avalon) . The two guys and I continued walking, and ended up in a lake. It was rather shallow, deep enough for us to swim, but shallow enough for us to stand. We were swimming through this river, and cha...
