Four Dreams, phew !

ONE
---------
My sister and I were riding on a bicycle or a motor bike, she was driving. She was telling me that her doctor told her she needed to cut back on her intake of corn. She then made a joke that she wasnt sure how she would do that considering she had to fill her truck up with gas soon (brain thinks of [bio]ethanol fuel that can be made from maize portions). I want to get her into using other oils such as EVOO for cooking in hopes it will help.

Somehow it turns into an Arrested Development episode. The Mom, Lucille and Maeby were drinking EVOO for some reason. They wanted to irritate Michael (they were acting drunk) and so they started running around the house with their tea cups of EVOO. When Michael enters the room they abruptly stop and Lucille spills the cup on the floor. Pretty much on purpose. She looks at the floor, then at Michael then turns to leave the room. As she leaves she says "I charged it, and I am NOT leaving a tip." For whatever reason that was so hilarious to me and I woke up laughing and could not stop for a while.

Two
---------

This one I think is in conjunction with dream number THREE but I will only put the portion I remember...

There was driving I am sure, but I dont know where or why or with whom. I only remember the end with Daniel driving up with some girl in his car. They get out and the girl leaves. Daniel is drunk. He openly admits to cheating on me with her and basically breaks up with me. I ask why he didnt break up with me BEFORE being with her, and I am very very upset. We have words and I think I mention that I want to hurt him, or maybe he asks me to hurt him as a repayment. But I say to him "I want to hurt you like you hurt me, but I can't reach that deep." Meaning that my fist can't make it down his throat far enough to reach his chest/heart. I think at one point in this segment he has no head and just a very very skinny, bloody throat... but that doesnt last.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THREE
---------

There was a lot to this dream, but I really dont remember much. I was with a group of people, mostly guys. We were a team of some sort. Like at school or work. One of our members had disappeared and none of us could reach him by phone or anything. I think his name was Lee, or Chris? Something short. We are looking around for him, and I think eating or playing poker or... doing other things in the meantime. There was one part with a bunch of snakes of different colors. I think the white snakes were poisonous, but they were everywhere.

Eventually we get a hold of him or he calls one of us back (i remember getting a text or call at one point, and assumed others did too). We talked about how he was having an affair with a married woman, Danielle Swim. We find the guy who is doing something outside and we see Danielle inside with 3 children and we have "confirmed" our suspicion.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOUR
---------

I was either not in the dream, or the main character of the dream. I really feel I was the main character, although knowing that I was NOT him... just seeing things through his eyes. He is a male that has died, set around maybe the 1950s. He has been given a chance to come back and do something. Either find his killer or get revenge or ... something along those lines. I am driving in an old old pick-up and I can't break in reverse very well. If I drive slow I cant break at all. I have to speed-demon reverse and slam on the breaks to get some stopping. I have a long barreled gold gun in the cab with me. And something else, but I am not sure. Maybe it is a lighter.

Cops are chasing someone and I am trying not to be seen or caught by them because it would be disastrous for some reason, although I am not sure why.

I go to a bar and wait for someone to show up or for something to happen. They are not allowed to serve alcohol, but most people in there are watching a game. I see kids, and even the man as a young boy comes in. He meets a girl at a bar, and he/I wonder if it is her I should go seek out. I wonder what has happened to her, since he never got her name, but wanted to. They never saw each other again.

I see the man as a young man, maybe in his early 20's with his friends. I think he has a scuffle or a fight (maybe just verbally) with one of his friends.

There is no resolution and I dont remember leaving the bar or doing anything else.

Cant find a Disney cup

Travis C and I were driving in a car, he was driving. I think it was going to be a trip, but i am not really sure. I wanted something to drink so he pulled in this very crowded / busy lot with a convenience store at the end of a small strip mall building. I go inside and he stays out in the car.
I am looking for a water bottle like mug to fill up with the fountain soda. They have many options and they are all Disney designs. I see one I like but there is a woman already there and after i grab it she and the store clerk are talking and she mentions that it is the one she would like to buy (in a very nice way). She was there first, so I let her have it and I keep looking for another one. I see one I like but it has no lid so me and the store clerk spend forever looking for one. It is taking a very long time, and I know Travis has to be getting frustrated waiting.

I find lids I like and I think might match, but when I take it back to the mug I either cant find the mug or they dont work. So I eventually just settle on another one that was my back-up plan when I first arrived. So I grab one and walk away and notice the lid is sort of chipped. And I think if I am going to spend the money on it and all the time looking for one, it's not going to be broken, so I put it back and get another one just like it, also chipped. I grab another still, and this one is fine so I leave the bottle aisle and head to the fountain drinks and when I get there I realize my red sparkly bottle has turned into shoes, like the red ruby slippers in the Wizard of Oz. Since I cant fill a shoe with soda, I have to go put it back and get another, which I do and this time I just grab practically anything since it has taken so long.

I go get my soda, which turns out to be a sort of carbonated milk drink. It tastes yummy and I remember thinking "they had this in that one movie" and I think the movie was Son in Law but it was definitely a Pauly Shore movie. Travis now comes in the store because I am taking so long to buy a soda. I get ready to check out and there are two women working two different check out counters. Both are older women, ragged looking, a little trashy. They make comments about cutting Travis' hair, like they are the ones that normally did it and when is he going to need it cut again. Then somehow it's no longer Travis and it is now Justen Andrews and the women are making quiet remarks about something that I dont fully understand. Justen gets it, I think, and the most I can conjure is that they also sell him weed.

Fin.

In France with Amy ... maybe

I was in France with Amy Glew.. at least I think it was France. We were outside on the street. Many people were on the street too. It felt very much like a college campus, but many people there were speaking other languages. I remember seeing someone that looked like Jared J and I told Amy I thought it was him, and I kept looking. I am pretty sure it was not him. I remember having a very small room to myself where I slept.

Don't dare steal my car

I know there must have been more....but I mostly remember my going to see a play/theater performance with my brother and roommate, Nick. I feel like I originally WAS seeing the performance with Collin Jensen as well, but later it appears otherwise. We go outside, and I walk up and down the street to find my car, and it is NO WHERE to be found. I feel like I am on the phone with someone, somewhat narrating, but I don't really know...

I can't find my car for the life of me, and my brain tries hard to make a white Honda Civic appear.. and it works ! However, it's a 2-door white civic, the license plates are for Kentucky (as are the Civic's that I am looking for), but it's not my car. I even try to keys because MAYBE it's my car and I jsut can't recognize it.

Ultimately, I need to accept the fact that my car is stolen. I find my purse and other "important" items in a parking spot, but my car is not there. I phone the police and try to relay the facts. They are talking to me, and I come to terms with the fact that it is Collin that has set me up to steal my car. The last time (in my dream) that I was at a theater show, my car was broken into, and I was telling the police that I remember Collin going to the bathroom for a very long period of time during that performance. [This is where I understand that the LAST performance was with Collin and THIS performance, Collin had just given me the tickets to go and was not in attendance himself.] So they want to talk to my brother, Nick. And I try to correct that Nick was not my brother, but Andrew was my brother.

I don't believe there was much of a resolution to the matter before waking up....

Multiple short dreams from when

I was traveling. I think by car. But my travels mostly consisted of my brain conjuring up some sort of a map, not actually being on a road. There were a group of people (like hippies) that would start walking once from Interstate 11 and take that road out to LA. I remember I-11 being closer to MD or PA. I remember comparing the distance of where the 11 started from New York.
------------------------------------------------------------

I was on some sort of bus, I think. I dont know where I was going or why I was there. It was full of people. I noticed that New Kids on the Block was sitting on the bench at the back of the bus. They caught me laughing at the thought that they were there. I tried to explain that I wasnt laughing AT them but at the thought that NKOTB was on the bus I was riding.

Later I was holding my right side. I had hurt myself, or I had pain. I think there was something on my jeans or belt that had pierced my body and I was bleeding. I tried to tell my parents about it, and they did not seem concerned in the least.

Im not sure if this is the same dream, but I remember something about Daniel being on a computer and playing World of Warcraft...and I wrote something down about a mall??? But that is not coming back to me at this time.
------------------------------------------------------------

The only part I remember is being at a diner table with Maranda and Bill and one other person. M and I were on one side of the table and Bill and the other guy were across from us. The table had a partition down the middle that separated Bill from the guy sitting next to him and me from Maranda. They were talking about how they were so right for each other. Or that they never found anyone better for themselves or no one good enough and that they were each other's best relationship.
------------------------------------------------------------

There were a lot of people at this house. Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes from Sex and the City) was there. She knew me somehow, and left me a gift upon her departure on this bulletin board that people were supposed to leave gifts on. I dont know what it was, but I have a feeling it was some sort of paper. Maybe an autograph.. or maybe there were a lot of autographs on the bulletin board, but hers wasnt?

There were a lot of dogs playing outside. There was a driveway / pool / lake area that they were playing in. Rick Ganz was there and I think had mentioned something about ADR.

While I was at this place, Kyle gave me a call. He brought it to my attention that it was our anniversary and our daughter's birthday. And there was one other event date, but I can't recall it. In the dream, we had a daughter named Alisha and it was her one year birthday I think. I told him I had thought about these events a few days before, but didnt do anything about it, because I wasnt sure if it was appropriate or if I should just let it be.

Many Dreams, part one

I had recently found or been given clothes that were in storage or had been borrowed. Either way, clothes that I owned but did not have access to until recently. I feel like there was a cafeteria, like an elementary school place. There were a lot of people in it. That and me trying to put on some of my clothes and make a cute outfit. I couldnt get past the tights it seemed ! I had too many options, and none matched my skirt options very well. And the ones that did, the skirt was too short for work or school standards.

-----------------------------------------------------

I was dying my hair red many different times. It wasnt coming out very well. The color would be okay, and then I would have large strips / blocks of hair that didnt have any dye on it at all.

----------------------------------

I was in a yard with my Mom and I think my sister was there. My parents had a baby, and they did not know where it was. I was distressed that they did not seem to care that they didnt know, either. There had recently been a flooding of the yard, and it was kind of swampy. My mother made a comment like "What, are you afraid of seeing the body crawling away?" It was not afraid in the sense of horrified by what I saw in the sense that I should be more relaxed about it, because there is nothing wrong with an infant child going wherever it pleased. I finally got my mom and sister to want to look for the child, and we were walking around the yard calling her name (Alisha, and Lisha Girl), hoping to hear her rustle if she heard her name. I finally came upon the baby, and it was dead. The head had been stuck underneat a beam on the back porch and she had drowned when the flooding happened. It looked nothing like Andrew's Alisha. It was just a pale-skinned baby's body. It had texture much like a lizard or snake skin that had been shed / molted. 

Earlier in the dream there was something about a woman or a teacher or class and it had a religious theme / purpose. I was supposed to go to the class... or I was NOT supposed to go, but I wanted to go or said I would go?? I dont remember much of this part except the feeling of being on a roof or balcony and looking down over a town.

What Have You Done to Solange?

So I was supposed to watch this film, or was starting to watch it. In any case, it started with the voice-over, male-voice descriptions that normal movie trailers have. Some of the actual "Solange" and other phrases from the real trailer were in play in my dream trailer, too.

It starts with a husband and wife in their basement. I don't remember if there was dialogue between them or not yet. But then whatever their normal interaction was stops and music begins. I think this is when the movie starts. (so I dont know where the trailer ends and the movie begins?) But the first time I see the husband, I think to myself "he is the one that does 'whatever it is' to Solange."

The basement is small and crowded. The wife is sitting in a recliner in her maroon / burgundy pajamas at the "far end" away from the staircase. I think one of their children is down there, too. When the music begins, the husband moves from being behind his wife and walks away, toward the staircase. I don't know if he goes upstairs or not. The wife is still in her recliner, watching her husband with a smile on her face, very adoring and loving and happy. Thie is when I think I see their child, maybe a teenager. Behind the wife there is small bit of room to walk before the wall and whatever is against it. To the left of that area is a cubby for the washer/dryer units, which later is where the freezer is.

When the music begins, the camera is moving around the room, a little shaky- maybe hand-held, but not as shaky as something like cloverfield. The picture / movie skipped at one point during this short music intro to the movie as though the DVD may have a scratch or it was just poor quality transferrance from it's original film.

The music intro ends, and the husband is talking to the wife at the staircase. However the pajama-wife is still in the recliner, and I am the person the husband is talking to. Maybe she is not in the recliner, but I am not sure....

They are talking about bills and I have some bills in my hand. He asked about one of them, and I (although it still feels like "she" at this point... maybe I am not her until I/she starts to go down the stairs)...anyway the lady said something about taking care of it. The husband wanted clarification and said "So you paid it?" and this is when the woman ... who I am now looking through her eyes... goes down the stairs and says something about "No, but I took care of it." And she starts talking about how the meat was bad and she talked to the people and they took care of it. She said they probably only took about 4 dollars off, but that it was the principal of the matter?? The husband is saying things too, it is a clear conversation, but I don't remember anything of what he said. It was mostly questions. I am looking at the bills while walking down the stairs (the husband is at the bottom of them) and I take a right and walk toward the wife/recliner and go behind the chair to that wall, all the while looking at the bills. When I reach the wall, there is a counter there. I think I lay the bills down and I might mess with some red meats here? I really think so, but I don't know 100%. I go to the left where the washer/dryer is and I am facing away from everyone. (---Maybe now I am the husband....? and maybe when I was the wife- the wife was not there and the husband was there... but now that I am the husband, the wife is there and the husband is not. This makes the most sense because I don't recall the wife being in the recliner when I pass it with the bills to put away the meats. But maybe she was there the whole time, and I was just ME in the dream the entire time)

Anyway- I am now at the washer dryer area and I am putting a couple of large frozen chicken pieces into a plastic shopping bag and I am going to put them into the freezer (not a washer and dryer) but I don't know if I make it that far. I turn around and the wife is standing there, pale as a ghost. Clearly demented or mentally unstable. Her eyes are very wide. She looks like she has barely a thought in her head, very blank but cold and scary. The way I am facing, the recliner is in between the wife and I. She has a couch against the wall behind her and the staircase is to HER left but to the right for me, when I am looking at her. She is standing when I turn around.

There is a little girl about the age of 4 or 5 in a dress who runs from the right of my viewpoint. She maye have already been downstairs or she may have come down the stairs and I not have seen her. She runs in front of the coffee table (which is in front of her mom) and in front of her mom, but behind the recliner over to my area. She doesn't look at anything but the ground, and is playful in her run. She doesnt have an interaction with me, and the wife/mom doesn't seem to notice her at all.

After I watch the girl run through the room, I look back at the wife. She is now crouching and when she stands up (still the blank, wide-eyed stare) there is a very large brown pig behind her. I don't really know what to make of this, so I say something that seems to fit what might happen?? I say "Pig chase !" (at this point, I already realize I should not be here or that I am not the husband, I am me.... in this movie...or in this situation, or that I am me playing the part of the husband)

The mom and the girl get excited, but it seems fake... almost mocking (the girl is now taller/older and barely shorter than the mom). We all somehow run ourselves to the corner of the small basement that is directly across from the stairway entrance. The women's faces have changed. They still are wide-eyed, but they are now smiling. Their skin is saggy and tan/leathery.. but still tight against their face at the same time. Maybe like what a mummy, corpse, or zombie would be like. Their smiles / teeth are protruding out of their mouths because they don't have enough meat on their face, I suppose, to make their teeth look normal?

They are smiling and laughing with these hideous faces, and I don't know how to deal with this (because it's quite scary) so I try to make the same face and be excited like they are. The wife says to me "nice impression." The pig is somewhere around and I think I made fake gestures on the pig of cutting him open and his insides spilling out... I didn't really cut the pig, but I guess the women were excited and I wanted to mimic what I thought was GOING to happen once we caught the pig in the pig chase. I wanted to keep them happy with the pig chase excitement because I suppose I didnt want them to turn on me and hurt me. After much of the "excitement" in that corner, I wake up. It was too scary to sleep through. Haha
