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: 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:  After previous dream, and before waking up, I had this one. And don't read if you have a fear of losing teeth. Or don't like gross things. Even writing this grossed me out a little bit. Foods Eaten:  Pretzels dipped in aforementioned cream cheese buffalo crab dip. The Dream: (Previous dream was me waking up from a dream...)  I fell back "asleep" , in the same single bed in my old bedroom at the house I grew up in. I again, went into the state of half awake, half asleep. As I gained some level of consciousness, I felt some strangeness in my bottom left canine tooth. I pushed my tongue against it, only to realize the tooth was loose. Of course, this caused considerable raise for concern, and I got up to go find my mom so she could take me to a dentist. Even though I don't recall being able to justify what time of day it was, I "just knew" it was in the middle of the night, and chances of a dentist being open were low. As I talked to my mom, ...

Notes: The repetitively appearing deodorant element has me questioning my hygiene today. The Dream: I was in a house with an unfamiliar layout. I was standing on a platform area of a T-intersection of stairs (I could draw it, but no idea how to explain it with words...) . There were wide banister railings on them. At the top, there was a container of pear scented deodorant sitting on the banister (probably my subconscious imposing a dose of reality in there, seeing as I really do have a stick of deodorant on my banister right now) . I don't know why it caught my notice so much. I don't remember the upstairs layout, but I ended up in a bathroom. There were three more sticks of scented deodorants on the counter. Aimlessly, I walked back downstairs, and went down to the right at the T-intersection. As I did so, my ex, TJ, came walking out of a closet. He was wearing a large baggy shirt, and pulling a wife beater over the top of it. I laughed a little bit, as he looked so ridi...

Notes:  Whoa. I didn't immediately remember this dream when I woke up, but it after recalling it it was kind of like meeting my inner child or something. The Dream: I was standing in the hallway of the basement of the house I grew up in/lived in for the vast majority of my life thus far. I was facing the room that had been my mom's office, and I walked into it. The room was arranged exactly as it had been when I lived there, down to the ratty old blue couch against the left wall. There were no lights on, but the computer on my mom's desk was emitting a soft glow making the room vaguely visible. I don't actually remember anyone else being in the basement with me, but I heard one of my family members say in a hushed panicked voice, "Hide! There is someone in the house!" Instinctively, I went to the closet that was in my mom's office. I quietly shut the door, but not quite all the way. As soon as I got in the closet I realized that I had picked the most ob...

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: Pretty wasteful use of lucidity, but hey, I went lucid, so I guess that's an improvement. Foods Eaten: A scavenged mix of chocolate, mixed nuts and Parmesan cheese... The Dream: I was standing in a pretty desolate looking room. The floor was a light gray, and the walls were a darker shade of gray. The place appeared to have been completely ransacked... a clutter of broken items around the perimeter of the room. I walked around, occasionally taking a closer look at a particular grouping of broken items, but before long I heard a distant throaty rumble noise. At first I paid it no mind, but it quickly got louder and I thought to myself, "Is that a tornado?" Immediately I called out for my family, "Mom? Dad? Mel? Are you guys here?" Quickening my pace, I began to search the house, hollering up and down staircases trying to make sure my family was safe. I wasn't feeling overly panicked, but since I wasn't getting a response I came to the conclusi...

The Dream: I recall being at a large amphitheatre, and there was an obstacle course on the stage set up with stairs. There were races being held, to see who could run fastest from the back of the amphitheatre through to obstacle course and to the end first. Apparently I was involved in this race. Before starting, one of the other participants pointed out some stairs that I hadn't even seen. I said, "Ugh, we have to run through all this? No way I'm gonna win.." One of the organizers responded, "It's not just getting through, when you..." (I've failed to finish transposing this dream until months later and I don't recall the precise details anymore - only the concept, which is as follows...) I ended up running through the obstacle course at lightning speed. I remember the exit of it went through a garage, and there was some sort of fight for a key. I also recall their being fire pits, but inevitably, I did win the race.

Notes: Picked my lucid dreaming book back up, didn't read it last night, but the two nights before. Finally remembered a dream in somewhat better detail than late. Foods Eaten: Pretzels The Dream: I was in the entryway of my old next door neighbor's, Sue and Rory, house. My sister was there, and I seem to recall TJ being with me. We had just walked in and I wasn't sure whether to take my shoes off or not. Rory had just walked in the door as well, and took his shoes off. So I followed suite. Rory went to the kitchen where Sue was; TJ, my sister and I all followed... Then I was walking down a staircase behind a door, it was to a basement, though I seem to remember having to go outside to get to the door. My Aunt Sue was suddenly at the top of the stairs behind me. I remember walking down into the basement... Alarm woke me up.

Notes: Well, I guess this is since I just bought a house and was having my first vacation away from home since then. Thought it was strange. Dream Location: In a twisted version of my house. The Dream: I was standing upstairs in a house that belonged to me. The area I was standing on was carpeted, sort of loft-like, overlooking the bottom floor. There was a set of stairs near me. (Once again, this is all I left myself saved as a draft, so I've forgotten most of this dream...) I seem to recall various people showing up at my house, which was going well for a little while, until everyone seemed turned against me. I remember the house suddenly feeling eerie, as a large black creature came out of no where and attacked me. Fortunately I was able to escape, but as I was running down the stairs, a vampire-zombie creature knocked me to the ground. The thing was on the verge of biting my throat when I abruptly woke up.

Notes: This was definitely one of my more humorous dreams as of late. I laughed a little bit when I woke up from it, but yet another night where I had multiple dreams after a few days of none. Foods Eaten: Greek Salad Dream Location: Department Store... sort of The Dream: I had just walked into a large building, with white walls and tiled floors. TJ was with me, we were casually walking along, holding hands. On each side of us were platforms, which I guess were supposed to be like stores. They had signs hanging from the ceiling labeling what each platform was for. We passed one that said "Frame Sale" over it, and I pointed it out to TJ explaining that my company must be having their monthly frame sale. The next platform was labeled "Clearance Dresses". This one, of course caught my eye, and I had to go browse. Getting on to the platform, it turned into more of an enclosed store. The entry way was nothing but a flight of steps, which we walked up. There were...

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: I <3 x-files. I <3 Sons of Anarchy. Apparently when you watch too many of both in one day, this is what you get. Also, I wasn't actually in this dream at all... just watching it like it was a TV show. Foods Eaten: Don't Remember Dream Location: Scattered... A body of water, a house with rooms similar to mine The Dream: A boy and girl are standing on a dock, next to a large river. The water is flowing quickly, and the dock is wet, as if it had just rained a large amount. There is a contained stairwell at the right of the dock, the girl walks up to it and falls into it. She screams. Fast forward. Agent Scully and Agent Mulder show up, they are scouting the dock. The girl's body is found at the far back edge of the dock, she is covered in blood, beaten to death. There is no sign of the boy. Transition. Agent Scully has just walked inside a house. The front door of the house is exquisite, two stories tall, windows surrounding it. There is another guy wi...

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 ...
