Crappy Situations

Notes: My dreaming seemed to be pretty active last night, although I don't remember full details of many of them except the one that was going on right before I woke up. Foods Eaten: Taco Salad The Dream: I recall this dream having far more to it than I can actually remember. I was in a house and someone or something (intuition tells me it was a large dog) had crapped everywhere. There was piles of it on the floor, on the walls and even somehow on the ceiling. Something urgent was going on in the dream and I remember dialing 911. I second guessed the necessity and debated hanging up, but by the time I had decided, a responder had answered. I don't remember what I told her, but I ended up walking in a room and there was at least one (maybe two) dead bodies wrapped in black mesh bags. There was another person in the room that I can recall nothing about, and I advised them to set fire to dispose of them. We left the room after that, but when we returned, the flames were out a...

Time, Stove, and Phone

Notes: I'm almost certain this dream tried to get me to go lucid twice - first with the noticing of the clocks and secondly with falling asleep while food was cooking. Damnit brain, why didn't you catch on? Foods Eaten: Taco salad The Dream: I was in a car, I cannot remember whether I was the driver or a passenger. I was at a T-intersection with a stop light and there was a house on the right. The house looked fairly old and entirely symmetrical, with a partial concrete gate at the front and a paved (but not well taken care of) sidewalk leading up to it. I remember thinking the house must be divided, like a duplex, and for some reason I knew it was an AirBnB. Although I don't recall thinking about the house being a place where I was supposed to stay and I don't remember pulling into it, I eventually ended up inside of it. It was two stories, with a "floating" staircase. There was a bedroom on the lower floor that I went in and noticed a shelf with a dig...

Fantasy Butterflies

Notes: Short dream, but the one particular scene was worthy of memory. Foods Eaten: Greek salad The Dream: Trevor and I were together, somewhere the seemed sort of dark and damp. When we rounded a corner, it opened up into a room, and the walls made it apparent that we were in an underground cave. The room was massive and set up like a cheap movie theater, with fold out plastic chairs in rows in 3 sections. There was even a projector and a screen. We opted to sit at a row fairly close to the screen, and the lights dimmed and a movie began to play promptly after we took our seats. I remember a handful of other people being there, but not who they were and it certainly wasn't a full room or like a traditional movie screening. When the movie started, the dream zoomed in on the screen, and revealed that I was in the movie. All I remember is one scene, being in a very fantastical world with vivid green, blue, teal and turquoise colors. There were massive, vibrant butterflies flyi...

Hiding from the Post-Apocalyptic

The Dream: I remember being outside somewhere and walking in the opposite direction from a really massive line of people. I passed by the guitarist of Killswitch Engage (I think) and for whatever reason, swapped earplugs with him (it was a quick swap, like we were both already holding them in our hands and just reached out and did a high five exchange when I walked by). Continued walking, go to the end of whatever road we were on and it went from being in a populated and well taken care of city to being some desolate looking street. I remember a school bus across the middle of the road and a McDonalds that looked like it had been abandoned. Looked like video game graphics when there's a war going on, basically. There were other people with me at this point and they started pouring oil on everything... like we were running from something and creating blockages/deterrents. So the school bus gets set on fire, along with various other objects and buildings in the perimeter. We had p...

Movie and a Walk

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 ...

Two Moons

Notes: Active brain last night, don't quite recall what connected where. The Dream: ..I was in a room, sitting on a bed. Unsure who's room, but it seemed like a hotel room layout. The bed was a double and there was a second double bed to the right, and a mini-kitchen past that with counters along the far wall. I was wearing a wedding ring, but after having a conversation with my dad, I took the ring off and threw it in a nearby trash can. It didn't seem to be a sentimental or emotional moment. At some point I ended up with another wedding ring on and Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch walked in the room to tell me that the person I had just married had died. I removed the ring and threw it in the trash, as well, proclaiming that it must not have been meant to be. -- (I woke up, shared the briefs of that dream with Trevor, then fell back asleep after he left for work.) I was driving in a bright yellow Challenger on an interstate. It was at night and another car w...

Middle Schooler's Nightmare

Notes: One of my goals for progressing my photography this year is better engagement on Instagram... as such, I've been spending too much time scrolling on my phone paying attention to it. My cousin called this dream a "middle schooler's nightmare." The Dream: I was laying in bed as if I had just woken up. It was still dark out, but I rolled over to pick up my phone. The screen lit up the room and I unlocked the phone and opened Instagram. I clicked to my profile page and my number of followers just started dropping. Slowly at first, one at a time, but then the speed picked up and I was just left to watch my number of followers drop down to zero.
