Scenes from my Dreams

Notes: For as much as I remember, I don't remember just as much of this dream. Foods Eaten: Spaghetti and like 2 bites of caramel ice cream right before bed. The Dream: I was walking down a trail that reminded me of one behind the house I grew up in. There was a group of people, I don't remember most of them, but I kept closest to my friend Josh (who I've never actually met in person) . Whatever walk we were going on was quite a long one, but eventually we got to a little gas station style mini mart. I don't recall opening any doors to get in the mini mart, but we were suddenly inside. I spotted an old high school friend, Lindy, sitting in a chair across the store. My old friend Tana was now with me as well, and I nudged her and said we should go surprise Lindy. We walked across the store in sat in some small wooden chairs that were arranged in a circle, where Lindy was. I sat in a chair that was diagonally across from Lindy. Tana sat to my right. I looked to my ...

Notes: Uh... I didn't seem to have any concept of time or order in this dream. I can recall "scenes" in detail, but I have no idea what sequence they happened in. Foods Eaten: Chai Tea The Dream: I was in a very dimly lit room. The wall to my right was lined with bookcases of varying heights. There were two other people in the room, but I'm unsure of who they were... and then there was Marilyn Manson standing on top of one of the shorter bookcases. He was dressed in his typical black, with large platform boots on. He had a pair of sunglasses on as well, and was holding a microphone. I don't really recall him "singing" but I do remember he became the focus of my dream, and he moved his face within inches of mine. His head was tilted down, so I could see his eyes peering at me over the sunglasses. He stared directly and said something in his raspy whisper voice, but I can't remember what he said. I remember it struck me as strange and I gave it a...

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Shrimp with Rice The Dream: Obviously there had to be some sort of prelude, but I don't recall anything until... I was outside, it was probably around 8:00, right after the sun had gone down. I was walking down a very lush grassy field that had two college basketball teams playing on it (one of the teams was UNC, but no idea on the other). Though they had a basketball, there was a second one sitting idle in the middle of their grass court. I was apparently on a mission to get this basketball ( though I don't recall it being mine, I guess it was ). I stealthy walked around the outskirts of the court, so as not to get in the players way. As I was about to run in and get the ball, one of the players got to it first, accidentally kicking it to the opposite side of the field. I began my long walk back around the court to the opposite side... Halfway to the other side of the court, I ran into my old friend, Tana. She asked if I was able to get the bal...

Notes: ... Dream Location: Some sort of restaurant? The Dream: I had this dream a couple days ago, and unfortunately I can't remember what happened up to this point.  I was sitting at a round table with bar stools. My old crush from middle school, Pieter, was sitting to my right. TJ was standing behind him. I'm not sure what we were talking about, but I'm pretty sure I had just done something slightly significant and Pieter leaned over the table and kissed me. I pushed him away and exclaimed, "What are you doing?! My boyfriend is standing right there!" I don't recall TJ having any reaction and I don't recall anything else either...

Notes: Another very vivid one, but I seem to be unable to remember some key details in it. Foods Eaten: Alfredo Dream Location: In a house in the middle of a field, in a different house, in a candy factory and in a restaurant/bar. The Dream: It all started in a little house on the prairie. The house was old, typical white sideboards, and located in the middle of a very large wheat field. I think TJ was working at the field as a job, but I don't really remember seeing him there or conversing with him. In fact, I don't remember much about being in the house, except that there was a violent thunderstorm... And then I ended up in another small house. Apparently TJ had gotten a new job, working for an older man. TJ let me tag along with him to his first day, where the man was instructing him on how to build something. We were all standing in what seemed small enough to be a little hide away in a basement. The ceiling of the room was slanted, and there was a storage door. ...

Notes: When I woke up, I remembered a strangely large amount of detail from this dream. It was definitely one of my more vivid ones in a while, unfortunately I seem to have forgotten a bit of it since I failed to quickly transpose it. Foods Eaten: Chicken and broccoli Alfredo Dream Location: A very large and upscale version of our family friend, Lynn Wilson's house. The Dream: I don't remember where it started... but I was walking down a vast hallway. The ceilings were extremely high... something you would see in a castle. Everything seemed so elegant, the doorways were mahogany and nearly the height of the ceiling, and curved and pointed at the top... like what you might see on a church. The walls were half paneled and half covered in a tan and brown scroll patterned wallpaper. One of the doors to my left opened, and looking inside I saw a black and white tiled floor with restaurant tables and waiters walking around the room. There was a busboy collecting dis...

Notes: This dream was pretty detailed, but it didn't make a whole lot of sense. I wasn't making any smooth transitions. Foods Eaten: Steak Dream Location: Scattered around, a track, a fancy house and a restaurant The Dream: I recall being on a track of some sort and running around. TJ was running around with me, or I was following him or something.. For some reason I specifically remember being sweaty and my mom showing up and commenting on it. She also said something about somebody's husband, but I didn't know exactly what she was talking about and had somehow inferred that she was marrying someone else that wasn't my dad. I ended up following her, I guess, into a house. It was very elegant and mansion like, with high ceilings and expensive looking floral patterned furniture. I chose to sit on a couch. My mother was no longer around, but some very nerdy looking guy walked in the room and sat on a chair across from me. He started talking to me, but I was co...

Notes: My sister is dating someone she actually likes and apparently my subconscious is implying they are moving too fast. Dream Location: In a restaurant? The Dream: I was sitting at a booth table in what seemed to be a Texas Roadhouse Steak restaurant with my old grade school friend, Tana. I had just gotten news that my sister had gotten engaged to her new (by new I mean one-two weeks at most) boyfriend. For some reason, I was the one holding on to her ring, though it was not a typical ring. It was ornate, silver and double banded, studded with diamonds, but it could expand and contract. I was wearing it around my wrist. I was essentially venting at Tana about my disapproval. I seem to recall going up a flight of stairs with Tana, and encountering my sister and TJ, though I don't know what else was going on.

Notes: When I woke up, I didn't remember being lucid at first. It took me a few minutes before I suddenly realized I had gone lucid twice during the night, though I only remember one time. Somehow I am just positive that I had gone lucid again afterwards. Dream Location: A random room The Dream: I don't remember much, I remember being in a bedroom. There was a white ladder that lead up to what seemed like a loft bed. An old grade school friend, Val, was sitting on top of it. Somehow seeing Val triggered immediate lucidity, though I'm not sure how. My visions turned into a strange strobing white and black light, and I recall being slightly surprised by the lucidity. I remember wondering how I got into lucidness and I remember thinking about what I should do. Apparently I spent too long thinking instead of doing and accomplished nothing.

Notes: I was so excited I actually went lucid in this dream, even though... as usual, I couldn't manage to make anything cool happen. Dream Location: Somewhere random, outside. The Dream: I have no idea what was going on leading up to this, however I very distinctly remember standing across from an old friend (now murderer in jail...) , Matt Johnson. I'm not sure how it clicked, I think I thought something like, "Wait, Matt is in jail, am I dreaming?" After the thought that I might be dreaming, Matt's face turned into a smile in response, and then it clicked that I really was dreaming. I remember thinking "Oh cool! I'm actually having a lucid dream." I think I tried to ask Matt a question, though I'm not sure if he responded with anything other than a facial expression. And then my mind started wandering, eventually it came across the thought of what I have really been wanting to lucidly dream about for a while, but of course as I was c...

Notes: So the night before last, I took a B-vitamin, drank orange juice, and ate a banana - all which are supposedly helpful inducing lucid dreams and dream recall. In case you didn't notice, yesterday I didn't remember having a single dream, much less lucid. However I definitely had one that was all over the place last night! Foods Eaten: Greek Salad, Ice cream Dream Location: Some sort of apartment room, in a car, a downtown somewhere... The Dream: For some reason, my first memory is inside of a sort of distraught disheveled room. The carpet was a murky brown color, and it had that really fuzzy shag texture. The walls were a lighter sort of brown, and they were paneled. There was an ugly sofa in the room. My parents were sitting on it. I'm not totally sure what the situation was, but I seem to recall accidentally pushing my dad or leaning on him and him responding in pain. I asked what was wrong, and he said, "Internal bleeding around my chest." I asked ...

Notes: Not that this has anything to do with what happened in my strange dream, but one of our family dogs passed away last night. =( Foods Eaten: Lots of bread and a salad Dream Location: In an upstairs hallway of a house, outside The Dream: I was roller skating around a hardwood floor that seemed to be the upstairs of a house - though I'm not sure who's. My old school friend, Tana, was with me, also roller skating around. We were talking, though I don't remember the conversation. There was a staircase to the right, which Tana disappeared down. I went to follow, but the staircase seemed to have led me straight outside - with Tana nowhere to be seen. Instead, I found my soon-to-be cousin, Debra. We began chatting, though I, as usual, don't remember what about. I do remember her pointing across the very lush lawn that we were now in, at her fiancée (my actual cousin), Josh. I then remember her talking about creating framed presentations for all of his photogr...

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Spaghetti Dream Location: Airport, Car The Dream: I am in a large building, which I just know is an airport. I am with a handful of friends, including TJ and Tana - there were more, but I don't know who else. We were walking  through the airport at a leisurely pace, when suddenly my phone rang. I answered it, and it was an old freelance client of mine, Linda. I told my friends to hang on one second, and proceeded to walk to a quiet nearby corner in the airport. Over the phone, Linda wanted to know if I would like a job as an art sales representative. I tried to explain to her that I already had a full time job and wasn't really interested in a sales job, but I was being too nice about it and not getting the point across. I could see my friends getting impatient with me taking too long on the phone, so I waved at them to signal they could move on and I'd catch up in a minute. I ended up telling Linda that I was too busy for another job and I...

Notes: I had this one a few days ago, so my memory has gotten unfortunately foggy on it. Dream Location: In my "room" though it was actually a house or apartment. The Dream: I was laying in my bed, but it was in a very modern looking room. Probably an apartment that belonged to me. I was sandwiched between to guys, one of them was an old friend, Cameron. The other one, I don't remember or didn't recognize. Nothing affectionate or naughty was going on, we were just laying in my bed chatting. After a few moments, I removed myself from the bed and walked into another room, which looked exactly like my old bedroom at my parent's house. The carpet was the same bluish green and the ceiling walls were slanted. I recall my sister's long deceased cat, Shadow being there, as well as my cat, Cinnamon, though I don't remember what sort of interaction went on with them. I also seem to distinctly recall sitting down at a vanity in the room.

Notes: Cruise backlog. Dream Location: I guess my old friend, Tana's house. The Dream: I was driving my 350z around, seemingly aimlessly, but I eventually ended up at my old friend, Tana's house. Her driveway somehow wrapped around her house (which actually looked nothing like her house), but it turned into another street running parallel to the one she lived off of. Unfortunately, the driveway was in terrible condition, and I decided to pull my Z off of it and into the grass on the side instead for safety. Apparently, I was bringing an unfinished puzzle to Tana. The puzzle had a picture of a mother and daughter painted on the left side of it. When I got in her house, Tana's mother had just handed her a present. Tana opened it, revealing a poster with the same mother and daughter pictured on it. She adored the poster, giving me a quick spiel on why it had so much meaning to her, though I don't recall what the reasoning was. I told her, "Well that's cool...

Notes: I most certainly was woken up by my alarm clock during this one, but holy crap it's a lot of senselessness. Foods Eaten: Mac & Cheese Dream Location: New house? The Dream: I think there were things going on before the part that I remember, but my memory starts inside of a car, with a girl I met from a game - I know her better as "Narissa", though her name is Jessica. We were driving up an unfinished rocky road, when I looked over and saw an old acquaintance of mine, Ryan Whitehead. He was sitting in a chair, under the porch of a very freshly built house. Jessica and I stopped and got out of the car, then walked over to Ryan. Some part of me knew that there were other people nearby doing construction work on the gravel road and more houses, and Ryan was supposed to be working for them, so I simply told Ryan, "Lazy bum," then continued on my way. We walked straight into the house Ryan was sitting on the porch of. It was elegant, with a large e...

Notes: Alarm clock woke me up, and I knew I'd had a dream - it took me a good five minutes to go through a million different thoughts about what it could be before a thought about a dog shaped cake crossed my mind, and that was it. Foods Eaten: Eggnog Dream Location: Airport The Dream: I was walking down an airport terminal with my cousin Rachel. There were a bunch of guys I didn't really know following us. Rachel walked into a big room that branched off the terminal, but it was set up like a classroom. There were lots of tables with chairs behind them, all facing the same direction. Teenagers were sitting at them. Rachel sat down at one of the desks, and I followed her. I don't think I sat down on anything, but I don't remember standing either. Actually, I don't remember a class happening at all after that, but I knew time had passed. We got up and Rachel walked to a table across the room. There was a guy there that I had never met, but he took the for...

Notes: Slept like crap last night, I kept waking up because of heavy rain and wind. Foods Eaten: Pizza Dream Location: Not Enough Info to Identify The Dream: The first thing I remember is looking in a mirror and pulling the front of my hair back. I had apparently just bleached that part of my hair, and I noted it looked a lot more white than it did the last time I bleached it. The second thing I remember was myself laying in my boyfriend's bed. An old aquaintence from grade school, John Holt, grabbed a sheet from the floor and threw it on top of me. The end. I know, pathetic.

Notes: This is some continuation of yesterday's scatter-brain-ism. There was some sort of plot in the dream, but it didn't make it to my memory. Foods Eaten: Buffalo Chicken with Bleu Cheese Sammich Dream Location: A unfamiliar neighborhood, unfamiliar body of water, and my house The Dream: I was in a moving vehicle (I'm not sure if it was a car or what, and no idea if there was someone driving it) . My buddy from high school, Matt (aka Penguin) , was in the car with me, along with another unidentified person. I distinctly remember driving down a hill in an unfamiliar neighborhood. It had recently snowed, the roads in the neighborhood had none stuck to them, but all the lawns of the houses were blanketed in snow. We drove outside the neighborhood, and I specifically remember taking a right turn. We went down another hill, but I looked behind us, and at the top of the hill was a very fancy looking house. I saw someone behind the house somehow making a vertical snow...

Notes: It was really weird, I saw a black smudge mark (probably from my eye makeup) on my arm while I was in the shower this morning, and it triggered my memory for this dream. Foods Eaten: Eggnog and Cookies! Dream Location: Foresty area, Hotel? The Dream: I was in a car with my parents, we were driving through a very grassy and foresty area, with a river running beside the path we were on. It wasn't a solid road, just a dirt path. It was pouring rain, we could barley see out the windows of the car, but I pointed out some sort of clear tube/tunnel that crossed over the river. It had water running through it, it looked sort of like a water slide. We drove past a clearing that had tons of mushrooms in it. I remember someone talking about it for a minute, but I don't think it was anyone in the car, and I don't know what they said. Next thing I know, I am in a large room (imaybe a hotel lobby?) with my best friend, Mary, and our other friend, Angela. They are both a...
