Scenes from my Dreams

Notes: I recently made some canvas art with "dream" written on it and hung it next to my bed as a morning reminder. I actually think it's help with dream recall. The Dream: I was in some sort of small restaurant, it was built in the center of a movie theater. The wings to each movie screening were around the restaurant, so if you stood in the middle and turned around, you'd see double doors in all directions. There was a bar area in the center, where I was standing when my friend/co-worker, Daniel, walked up to me as if he was meeting me. A woman bartender came up to us and asked what kind of menu we wanted. I looked and Daniel silently as if asking him if he wanted food or not and he said, "I'd rather eat after the movie." I wanted to eat at that moment, but I said, "Okay." and went along with it anyway. Instead, I tried to order a drink, asking for a "Dirty Shirley." The woman looked at me annoyed and confused and asked what was ...

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: This was probably the most interesting dream I've had in a while... been slacking in the dreamer department. The day before this dream, there was some solar flare hitting the Earth, and I'm pretty sure that had something to do with the first part of this dream. The Dream: I was walking around a mall with a couple of my coworkers. We turned into what I think was a Spencer's gift store. There were a myriad of items, notably books, posters, wrist bands, etc. - all about solar flares. Those items were being showcased on a table that was positioned directly under a window. It seemed we all came to the sudden realization that there was actually a solar flare happening at that very moment. Stupidly, we all looked out the window and directly into the sun, curious if there was anyway to actually see something "different" happening on the sun during a solar flare... but as usually expected, we only got momentarily blinded by it. There was some sort of transition...

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: This one was the most vivid I've had in quite a while. I've forgotten some of the details already though, unfortunately. Dream Location: Around Charlotte, NC The Dream: I had just entered a large and classic style building with my coworker, John. The building seemed rather upscale and hotel-like, except there was a very classy Subway Restaurant inside of it. Apparently John and I were grabbing a bite to eat together for lunch. I remember ordering some food, a Turkey Sub, I think. And when I went to pay for it, the cashier seemed very secretive and on-a-mission like. He had a somewhat evil grin on his face, and he told me something important, though I don't know what it was he said. I promptly got up to leave, I don't recall whether I ate my sandwich or not. Right as I was about to walk out of the doors, I noticed TJ leaning on the right wall and almost glaring at me. He called me over and began a serious questioning of me, asking why I was getting lunch w...

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Cheesey stuff Dream Location: Mostly in a parking lot The Dream: As far as I can trace my memory back, I am sitting on a hardwood floor somewhere with TJ. He is holding a bag of Starburst, which he opens up and proceeds to eat one. Now I'm in a car with my parents, I think it's our Jeep. My dad is driving, my mom is in the passenger seat. I am sitting in the back with TJ. I look out the rear window and notice my friend, Wes, is driving behind us. Though I don't remember the conversations that were taking place, I do remember that we were on the way out to eat - and for some reason, I feel like it was probably going to be at an Italian restaurant. Looking to the right, I saw my sister filling up a car (not sure which one) , at a gas station. She waved at us, and my dad turned right into the gas station. Wes followed. We all got out of our cars to talk about where we were going to meet. The conversation some how turned into my mom breaking ...

Notes: This one was weird, like I was lucid without actually being lucid... Foods Eaten: Mashed Potatoes & Ribs Dream Location: My House and Some Restaurant The Dream: I was at my house, all was relatively normal looking. My parents were hanging out in the kitchen, I don't specifically recall my sister being there. I don't remember what conversation was going on, but my parents ended up getting into a fight. My mom was physically hurting my dad, slapping him and pushing him. I eventually stepped in, yelling at my mother to stop. Both my mom and dad resigned themselves from each other, glaring past me in furious anger, but allowing me to speak. I took most of my frustration with them out on my mother, yelling at her about how different she's been since her surgery last year (long story short out of dreamworld - she had a brain tumor). I told her that all of her personality traits had been emphasized, especially her stubbornness and attitude. She didn't respond...

Notes: This dream was actually sort of creative. Foods Eaten: Eggnog Dream Location: In a quaint sort of neighborhood The Dream: I was walking with my boyfriend along a sidewalk in a very typical American sort of neighborhood. The houses were small and cute, all white wood paneled, with the white picket fence in front. Most of the people that lived in the houses were outdoors doing lawn work, whether it be watering and/or planting flowers, or mowing the grass. Each house also had a street sign in front of it, and on the metal pole attached to the sign, were some sort of indescribable object. I knew that the objects were some sort of prank, and if you touched or activated it, there was also a hose attached to the pole, that would shoot water at you. My boyfriend and I had been joined by my co-workers, Alex, Casey, and Leila. I warned them all to not touch the objects attached to the street signs. We all laughed about them being prank jokes. We ended up walking through a very lu...

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: Grrr... another work dream? Foods Eaten: Enchilada, Quesedilla Dream Location: Not a clue The Dream: I was on my way to a meeting with my coworker, Alex. I had a sketch of a redesign for a page of our company's website that I was working on, Alex was going to give me some feedback and tell me what he needed on the page. We were meeting at some restaurant, I was apparently walking there. To the left of the sidewalk I was on, there was a huge/tall fence, holding back hundreds of people. They were holding signs, and rallying (I presume this was some leftovers in my head from going to Jon Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear in DC on Saturday) . When I got to the restaurant, it was just a bunch of picnic tables with waitress walking around. I sat down at one of them to wait for Alex, and this girl I barely know, Jessica, walks up to my table and sits down. She immediately started jibber-jabbering away at me, though I was mostly ignoring her. I noticed she...

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: A bit of this dream was merger with reality, as my boyfriend did get a bunch of text messages from work last night, and kept having to get out of bed and deal with them. (He is a network admin, so if any of our servers goes down, he gets a text message telling him to go fix it.) My boyfriend also said he wanted Mexican food last night... and he and I usually do go out to eat with our coworker. Foods Eaten: Orange Chicken Dream Location: Boyfriend's Bedroom, Post Office, Mexican Restaurant The Dream: I was laying in bed with my boyfriend. He kept getting text messages from work, having to get out of bed and fix the servers. While he was in his office fixing the servers, I dropped my phone between the crack where the headboard and the mattress meet. No idea why. My boyfriend came back to bed, but I guess I decided I had some errands to run. I grabbed my phone from under the mattress, stuck it in my purse, and left. My transportation method of choice was a bicycle. I ...

Notes: For some reason, this dream vividly popped into my head while I was writing down another one. I'm not sure exactly how long ago I had this dream, and I don't remember all of the specifics. For me to have just remembered as much as I do though, I wonder if I wrote it down somewhere else... Dream Location: Totally Unsure, Random Restaurant The Dream: I was running down some very widely space concrete steps, outside, with my boyfriend. The steps had water running down them, as if it was an elaborate waterfall/walk way. He told me to be careful, it was slippery and I might fall. We kept walking down them until we got to a wooden bridge, it was over a small creek. I remember walking around in it for a minute, before my boyfriend said we needed to go because it looked like it was going to storm. We quickly walked back up the waterfall steps, and we're running to a restaurant. The restaurant looked vaguely familiar, I was reading the cheap menu that was tacked up on ...
