Scenes from my Dreams

Foods Eaten: A couple jalapeno-pickle chips as a midnight snack and a cup of chai tea. Notes: I had this one between 8:00 and 9:00 am, after my alarm went off. The Dream: I was in a small house, more like an old trailer with wooden walls, floors, and decorations from the 80's. My family was there, I had just given dad a gift. It was a large photo print, though I don't remember what it was of. He had sprawled it across the floor and as he was looking at it he asked if I could get some paint to fix some spots. When I went to look at what he was talking about, I saw that some areas that should've printed green had printed with pinkish-red spots instead. I blamed it on the printer... I know there was more to this snippet of dream as I remember being in a parking lot full of cars with my sister and I remember being on a bed in a bedroom with someone but I don't remember any other details... ...Next thing I know,  I was at a party in a familiar house (I now recognize it to...

Notes: Went to a CKY concert last night, had someone creepily staring at me through the car window for nearly an hour afterward. Got home at 3 AM. I dunno if any of these things actually connected to the dream, but this is the only journal I've kept semi-consistently in life, so it seemed worth noting. Foods Eaten: Salad The Dream: (I'm certain there was more before where my memory kicks in.)  ...Looking around, I was in a large hallway with white tile floor and white brick walls. The kind of hall you see for concession stands in an arena. There was a girl on the floor with one of those plastic containers you use to hold paint in when you're using a roller... except hers was filled with water. And a lobster. I recall thinking that was an odd choice for a pet, but when I got closer and was watching it move around, I could see how it could be kind of cute. I walked away, probably made a circle around the presumed arena. I may have even gone into a seat, it felt like I ha...

Notes: It's getting annoying that I can remember so many different parts of a dream, but not the bridges that connect one part to the next. Foods Eaten: Greek Salad The Dream: (Everything is out of order, I don't know what came first in the sequences, going off intuition...) I was standing in a dirt parking lot. There didn't appear to be any major buildings around, and didn't look like anyone had parked in the lot for years. I was with a group of people (friends, I think) and one of them was leading a horse. My sister was standing far opposite us, on the other side of the parking lot. She was riding one of her horses and a few of the other girls that work at her barn were with her, also on horseback. The person near me that had a horse wanted to let it go check out the other horses. Somehow my sister heard and advised that it was a bad idea and not to do that. The person let the horse off its lead anyway and it bolted across the parking lot toward my sister. There ...

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: 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.

Notes: This one seemed pretty random. The Dream: I was standing in a parking lot, near a car. A friend who is also a band member appeared near by and walked over to me. We engaged in conversation that I can't recall. I remember seeing a group of people in the distance - some that I could put a name to and some that seemed unfamiliar. I don't remember getting there, but the next thing I remember is laying on a bed with the friend. He was semi-propped up on a pillow and my head was on his chest. It seemed to be a somewhat affectionate moment, but he was crying quite heavily. I seem to remember wondering why, but I'm not sure if I asked or found the answer...

Notes: Very random celebrity appearance. I must be excited for his new album? Foods Eaten: Salad, a few rum and cokes The Dream: I was at my office, in a room with my boss and coworker, Nadia. I recall asking permission to take an extended lunch hour, which my boss was fine with. I somehow ended up sitting in my car in a parking lot outside of a mall. Mark Tremonti (guitarist for Alter Bridge/Creed) was now in my passenger seat. There seems to be a large gap in my memory but this is what I can recall... It had gotten late, and I'd forgotten about work until I got a text message from my boss that read something like, "When are you coming back? There's a lot to do and I'm really stressed out..." I replied to her with a lie of, "Sorry! We are on the way." But at that point,  Mark got out of my car and turned his attention to a crappy white car parked next to me - which was apparently his car. It was having troubles starting, and he had the hood up ...

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Sour Cream and Cheddar Chips Dream Location: No earthly clue. The Dream: Par for my dreams lately, I know stuff happened before this but don't remember what. I'm in a parking lot. My boyfriend shows up - he's driving a mustang, but it isn't a new one and it isn't his usual one. I thought he was supposed to be getting a new mustang, so I asked him what was going on. He explained that the dealer offered him a better trade in on a mustang newer than his, but not brand new, so he took the deal and figured he would just wait a little longer for the brand new one. I didn't really understand. I briefly remember being in the attic of a building or house... there was a strange contraption that I don't know how to explain, except that you had to wiggle your way through it, and that hair easily got stuck in it. I don't remember the significance of it. I also remember the HR at my job, Jeff, showing up in my cul-de-sac, driving...

Notes: I woke up and remembered this, but I feel like I knew more about what was happening while I was in the dream. Foods Eaten: Salad, Macaroni and Cheese Dream Location: Parking Lot The Dream: I was inside of a tall building, it was all white, with a few glass windows. There was a glass elevator. The floors of the building were spiral shaped, there weren't actual stairs anywhere... it just gradually went up. I was running up the spiral building, and looking across from me I could see the members of the band, Chevelle, following me. We were all running away from something, but I don't know what. I found a door that led outside into a parking lot. The lead singer of Chevelle, Pete Loeffler, pointed at the band van and told me to run for it. We all ran across the parking lot and jumped into the back of their van... I heard loud noises, like explosions, but I don't remember seeing them.

Notes: I'm perplexed by this dream because usually when a family member dies in my dream, it traumatizes me to the point that I realize it's a dream and I wake up - but I stayed asleep throught his one. Foods Eaten: Macaroni and Cheese Dream Location: Parking lot at Jordan Lake, Hospital The Dream: As usual, I don't remember where I was deposited into the dream. My memory starts inside of a big red truck in a parking lot near Jordan Lake. My sister, myself, and my two friends Aaron and Wes, are all in the car, but I don't remember who was driving or who was sitting where. We got out of the car and were just hanging out in the parking lot, when my dad showed up to drive my sister somewhere. I remember my dad leaving with my sister, and my looking at one of my friends and shrugging. Next thing I remember is being in a hospital over a friend's bed. I'm not positive on which friend, but I think it was Aaron (judging by the fact that Wes was ...

Notes: Slept forever again last night. I must be paranoid about my car because I just got the bumper and hood repainted about a week ago. Foods Eaten: Pepperoni & Banana Pepper Pizza, Salad Dream Location: In a skewed version of my neighborhood. The Dream: As usual, no clue where it started. I had apparently given my sister permission to drive my Nissan 350z (weird aspect number one, she doesn't actually know how to drive a manual). I got a phone call from my dad saying that my sister had crashed my car into some electrical "vault" (I don't know what this was actually referring to). My dad and I walked up the street I live on, then took a left turn onto the next street. There was a parking lot on the right side (not actually a parking lot there in reality) that my sister had pulled my car into after the accident. My sister was not hurt at all, so I immediately was furious with her. I was most pissed off because she had ruined the paint job ...

Notes: I'm assuming the location of this dream is due to me going to Buffalo, New York last week... Slept forever last night, though I don't know why. Went to bed at 3:00 am. Dream Location: Buffalo, New York in general. Airport, inside a car on the way to my Aunt & Uncle's house The Dream: Memory of this dream is skewed, I don't remember the exact order of events. Just a bunch of events thrown around. It started in Buffalo Niagara Airport. My boyfriend and I had come off the same flight, though I don't think I ever actually saw my boyfriend throughout the dream. We were in search of the airport parking lot. No baggage claim came into play. For some reason, I was slightly lost in the airport, the explanation I remember (I don't know how I remembered it, I don't recall talking about it in the dream, is it possible for a dream character to think? anyway...) is that we took a different flight than the flight I "normally" take ...
