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:  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: Brief mix of subconscious with reality. Foods Eaten: Pizza and Rum Dream Location: My house The Dream: I was laying in bed, presumably I had just woken up. I could hear a clamor down the hallway, then my sister came in my room. I asked if everything was okay, she said, "Yeah, but Rob just threw up." That's literally all I remember... My sister and I had a mini-party for new year though, and Rob was a little young and drank probably quite a bit. Also, my dad had said he didn't want anyone throwing up earlier in the night, so think my subconscious might have been trying to pick a fight. Rob hadn't actually thrown up, fortunately.

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: Pretty sure Mac n' Cheese is the cause of some of my weirdest and longest dreams. And if your curious about why I dream so specifically of Pomeranian dogs, I really want one, but parents nor boyfriend will let me keep one at their house right now... I clearly enjoy dreaming about them though. Foods Eaten: Mac n' Cheese Dream Location: At a hotel or apartment complex that was right on a very large lake. (The place seemed familiar... but I can't identify it) The Dream: I was in either an upscale hotel room or an apartment/condo. All the furniture was very fancy, there was a balcony outside, and the outer most walls were lined with windows and elegant white curtains. The carpet was a plush white, and my cat, Cinnamon, plus a Pomeranian puppy were sitting on it, along with two other dogs (that I now can't identify in my awake state) . The puppy was calm at first, but then bounced up and bolted into the other room. I called, "Pom Pom!" and it came r...

Notes: Nothing of mention. Foods Eaten: Brocoli, Cheese, Chicken Casserole Dream Location: My house The Dream: I was having a party with my coworkers, the members on the Creative Team only. My boss, Jenn, Granger and I were all standing in my downstairs hallway, my boss was talking about letting Granger go. I was only vaguely listening, but Granger didn't seem to care too much. She was just asking why and what the problem was. I remember suddenly feeling bad, because I had forgot to invite our other Creative Team-mate, Leila. I didn't mention it out loud because no one else seemed to notice. I got a phone call, it was my dad. He told me to clean up the house a bit and get ready for my Aunt Loretta and Uncle Dave, plus their three kids (my cousins) to come over. I said okay and hung up. All my coworkers disappeared after the phone call, and I went up to my room. I looked out my window and there was a fold out table set up in my driveway. Everyone that was coming to vi...

Notes: In a spurt of short, undetailed, dreams, it would appear. Foods Eaten: Ramen Dream Location: My downstairs patio/backyard The Dream: I was having a small party or get together, the doors to a room in my basement were open, most people were hanging out in that room or outside around the patio area. I don't recall seeing anyone in particular - I never saw any of my friend's faces. I was talking to one of them though, we were inside, having a somewhat grim conversation about death. He said, "The Grim Reaper will only hurt you if you don't believe in him." I relaxed and said, "I believe in him." A couple other people around us were laughing... I turned around for a minute, looking outside at all the people. I noticed movement right outside the fence in my backyard. I watched the figure, which came through the gate into my yard. He was wearing all black, including a hood covering his face. A few of the people around me froze in place, terrifi...

Notes: I hope I am not foreseeing my birthday in two weeks! Foods Eaten: Chicken Fajitas Dream Location: Unsure, random lake and random house The Dream: I was sitting on a boat, in the middle of a lake. Now that I've processed the locale, it almost looked like the street I live on had turned into a giant puddle. I jumped out of the boat, and was swimming around. A blue, circular, float appeared, and I climbed on top of it. I looked back to the boat, and realized my sister and boyfriend were there, however didn't see anyone else. It was apparently my birthday party. Somehow we all got to a house... the house was unfamiliar, though I don't recall much about it aside from the back yard. I remember tip-toeing around outside because of dog crap mines being every where. I was trying to get to my boyfriend, who was filling up water balloons. When I got to him, we started arguing about something, though I don't recall what. I just remember using the excuse that it wa...

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: There was actually a technical name for this party that my friend used to call it in the dream, though I can't remember what it was now... Foods Eaten: Buffalo Wings (with ranch) Dream Location: My old bedroom, an unidentified restaurant, and an unidentified house The Dream: This is another one I don't remember a lot of, just specific parts. I know I was in an unidentified restaurant at some point, and I was playing with a new iPod. Dream relocated itself to one of my old bedrooms in my house, except it was laid out slightly different. My coworker (Granger again... why do I keep dreaming about her?) was there, I told her she could lay in one of the twin beds, I would take the queen. She said that was fine and asked if I wanted to go to a midnight party. I asked her what it was (but I can't recall the answer) - I ended up agreeing to go. I'm not sure if we slept or if we ended up going straight to the party, but when I got there, I had brought what loo...

Notes: I am transposing this over from a handwritten journal. I had this dream two years ago while I was on vacation in Grand Cayman. My cell phone had gotten stolen the day before, there is a note in my journal saying that I thought the dream reflected my furiousness about that. Dream Location: "My house," "TJ's House," Drug/Grocery store The Dream: It started at "my house," although I have no idea who's house it really was. We were in the basement. It was my birthday party. I don't remember too much of what was going on at that point... A lot of people were playing pool, Dylan House (an old friend) was sitting on the piano bench (an object that used to be in my basement) , he was reading something out loud for what ever reason. The work "kiss" popped up (I had sat down next to him at this point) and we sort of looked at each other and dodged locking lips twice, but ended up making out on a third try. I don't know why tha...
