What do you think of this dream?

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 20:42:23 GMT

I am making myself get up out of bed to type this one out... I have had quite a lot of strange and epic dreams lately about people I know that have been providing me strange insight into what is going on behind the scenes in their lives. So last night (or this morning, as I fell asleep around maybe 6am?) I decided to start recording my dreams again in some type of way whether recording them in a book or on a tape and keeping a way to record these dreams beside me or near me in some way that would/will be easy to convince myself to get up and write these ideas down.

Somewhat recently I received an email from some stranger who says he goes by the handle of “seerinc” on many of the sites he has run across me on. This name seems vaguely familiar but I can't think of what specific instances I may have actually spoke to him in. He goes onto say he has some what of a psychic ability and had a strange dream about me and my grandmother and was warning me to cherish my time with her.

I really just put this email out of my mind deciding that the illustration of her that he described in his dream couldn't be her and I even spoke to her about it. I responded to his email saying that it couldn't be her, halfway expecting another email back offering his services to investigate further for some fee I wouldn't cough up and that would be the end of it. Well no such email came... Maybe he forgot about me?

I will now try as best I can to recall the dream I had last night in some type of linear fashion that will be easy enough for anyone to follow because it corresponds with the email he sent me and obviously because of this dream being frightening as hell for me.

So at the very beginning...

My Grandma “Patsy” announced to the family that she will be giving up her partial residence here in the world and taking up full residence in the after-death/under world because her mother is finally ready for her there. (My great grandma is dead and has been for... 16 years and right after she passed I remember Patsy having a hell of a time with it.) In the dream Patsy didn't seem surprised or saddened about leaving this world as apparently she had been visiting the underworld for some time and even had an apartment there she would stay at during her visits.

So in an effort to change her mind and possibly talk to my Great Grandmother and perhaps talk her out of this as I need Patsy here... I followed her one day to the underworld. This would be her last trip there I learned as I arrived and she wouldn't be coming back and the dream shifted to other subjects...

So in following her I was in a hospital and saw she was taking an elevator to the basement and thus did the same and caught up with her as she was turning a corner down a hallway. There past the turn were two doors both leading to the underworld. She entered them and I followed. She was welcomed by many people that had grown to know her there after her many visits. At the other side of the doors were a bunch of “inbetweeners” that to me were mainly represented my drug addicts or those “living on the edge”. Basically they were people that could go either way at anytime yet for some reason decided that being closer to death was worth it to do what they did to end up there in the first place.

This is where I learned that the longer a person was there the more life energy that would deplete from them and if their energy was allowed to fall low enough would trap them there killing their physical body in the “real world”. I saw a girl there near the doors and made up a story about how I was there to see a friend that may live in her neighborhood and I even made up a name. She said she knew this person and asked me some questions about her and I made up some sad story about her being the homecoming queen. So we started our journey through the underworld to find this person. I kept seeing glimpses of Patsy in different places and having flashbacks to my Great Grandmother's funeral during this time. But Patsy seemed to not notice me being wrapped up in the next step of her existence and my purpose slowly faded of bringing her back.

The young girl who was taking me to see this person I created slowly became more and more friendly and I was enjoying her company. She showed me that the underworld was just a labyrinth of bushes some you can see over and others that you can't. We stopped to talk to an older man and he confided in us that he was only there to use what he got there to gain money when he visited the real world. He was evil and we got away from him after he made us very uncomfortable. He was half alive like her, meaning they could go back and forth between worlds and he did although for some reason the younger girl chose to stay there.

WE met another girl who was friends with my (then) guide. She was pretty cool too but something seemed more amiss with her but nothing evil or “dark”. Then I kind of was staring over a part of the labyrinth and thinking for awhile and they were talking behind me or something and I realized there was a dark man to the right of me and although totally not touching me was holding me there and sucking my life energy all away. I realized then I had been standing in the dark, or like a shaded area of the labyrinth where the light couldn't get to.

I instantly was afraid and trying to pull away from him but couldn't scream for being so weak. The girls noticed and pulled me away and we started running back through the labyrinth to get away from the dark and as we were running noticed there were many parts of the labyrinth that were dark and light and we tried to stay in the light.

The dark parts were like sticky paper for flies or something there were dark miserable spirits there all in shadow they would try to pull you in and take your energy from you. I got stuck a few more times before getting back to the doors with the two girls. I insisted they come back with me but one girl the girl that had something strange about her she couldn't even see the doors she had no idea what we were talking about and I realized she was fully dead. The other girl who was ill or close to death COULD see the doors and another girl who seemed to be waiting for us there told us to say goodbye to our friend and walked us through. Someone handed us a baby to take with us.

We ran through the doors with this mysterious girl and the baby who seemed to get bigger and bigger as time pasted at a alarmingly fast rate laughing joyfully and I noticed all the people arriving from the elevators were so somber and I remembered that when I came there were people coming and going in joy and in sorrow both. Now I knew why.

So the girl and I that I felt like I helped rescue and the baby got into an elevator. A weird looking dude who was obviously alive but had evil intent said if we gave him the child we would be able to live. We didn't let the little boy go who was nearly 4 or 5 now but as the elevator door closed the child disappeared from my arms and he had him. The weird evil guy took him (the child) into a different elevator and up they went. Our mysterious girl who was waiting to escort us by the doors of the underworld took the ride with them but somehow hidden at first. At a stop the little boy was maybe 20 years old now and carrying a back pack got off of the ride and the man that stole him turned into that old evil man who was using the underworld to gain money and power.

I now understood the 20 year old guy was his grandson whom he (the older evil man) originally went there to save and got swept up in the fact he could cheat life using the knowledge he gained there. The grandson got off on a floor in the hospital and off he walked. He had been there in a coma for sometime because of a drug overdose or something like that and was going to return to his body. He was evil too though and I wished I hadn't aided his return.

The old man and the guide who had now appeared were in the elevator going to another floor even higher up and the man had some type of case with all of this money and symbols of power. A puppy appeared to come through a crevice in the elevator door and he pet the animal and the animal went back out the way he came. This of course was impossible as the elevator was moving...

The old man stuck his hand out the door somehow by squeezing it through a crevice to get the dog as if he was hypnotized by the animal and wanted to grab him and he obviously wasn't thinking straight. The girl/guide screamed out for him to stop and he became lodged in the elevator gears and slowly the elevator was pulling him out and crushing him piece by piece. The dog had been a trick of the dark part of the underworld that had been depleting his life energy in all the times he went there for the wrong reasons... and the girl was a guide making sure his soul got back there and was punished for what he had done.

My friend and I reached our floor and got out intuitively knowing what had happened to them and picked up a news paper that talked about both of them being crushed in the elevator together as if it had happened days before. However she was okay and so was I and we were happy for that! This is when I woke up...

I don't want to lose my grandma and this is why this is scary for me. The other parts are just sort of weird that it played out in a complete story... What is your take on this dream?

Last night, I had the first full-on, panic-inducing nightmare that I've had in years... not fun.

I was dreaming something or other, and then I was on the ground, trying desperately to crawl away while zombies clawed at my feet. I could feel their claws tearing through my flesh, catching on the small bones in my feet and scraping over my ankles. I kept screaming "get them off! get them off! get them off!" and also screaming wordlessly at the pain. I was definitely panicked in the dream, but when this had gone on about twice as long as it seemed like it should have taken them to simply kill me I managed to pull myself awake. I could feel the pain slip away as my waking mind took over from my dreaming mind, but I was still panicked - I nearly jumped out of my skin when my husband sat up and asked what was wrong, and then I just started bawling - sobbing, hiccuping, tears, the nine yards.

I calmed down pretty quick, but was on edge the rest of the night, just kind of dozing on and off until it was finally light out. Then I got about an hour of sleep before the alarm went off :(

Not sure what triggered it. I was dreaming something less terrifying before, but can't remember any details. I'm hoping this has gotten it out of my system so I can go a few more years before the next one!

What does my dream means?

This is my first time posting here and I just joined because I really wanna know what is my dream about.

I just dreamt of myself giving birth to a son, he's a little playful. My relatives came to my house to see him and then came a bunch of guys including 2 adults and ther rest all kids.
I can't really remember the how many were them..

but I know that the 2 adults are celebrities which are not my idols, they are just actors from my countries.
Including my son, there are more guys than girls at my house.

Please help me to interpret my dream and I'm not married or attached so I really wanna know about my dream. Thanks to everyone in advance~

Have you ever had a dream that the fact that YOUR subconscious inventeted it is scarier than the dream itself? I had a horrifying, terrible gruesome dream...I don't even want to say what it was about it freaked me out so bad...the most I can bring myself to say was that it involved a gruesome, heartless murder that looked like something out of Se7en or Phantasmagoria.

I had a dream about ricin.

I was somewhere- a big park of some sort- and these military men, 4 or 5, came up to this little boy and said "put this little drop of liquid on your tongue and drink this vinegar later" because apparently they discovered that vinegar is the antidote to ricin. Anyways, the kid starts crying. I overhear two of the men talking, complaining that since scientists can't get legitimate human test subjects, they had to rely on military force and basically make people unwilling human guinea pigs.

Then there were protestors or something and people screaming, the news vans were there, a real circus.

Next thing I remember is being on my laptop reading a Wikipedia article about vinegar being the cure for ricin. Interestingly enough, the dream-wiki article also said that the poison was inorganic and created in small batches in a few laboratories across the world (in reality, this is not true; it's present in castor beans so it's part of the waste product of castor oil production).

Then I woke up.

I could make a horror movie out of this

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 15:53:26 GMT

I was in a one-story house that was kind of surrounded by jungle, or at least lots of plants and trees and animals that made it seem that way. I was inside with other unspecified people and we opened the door to a room and an evil spirit that had the face of Tom Cruise floats toward us, cursing us for trespassing. He couldn't attack us then and there because he couldn't cross that threshold, which was protected, but he and his other ghosts would get us.

People start dying, though I don't see it happen. I just know they're dead, and I'm the only one alive. Except now I change perspectives to another girl in her twenties and a little girl, about 8, who were apparently hiding in the house for some time, the last survivors of another group that had found the house. The little girl realizes there are others in the house so she convinces the older girl they should try to escape. While they're looking for me, the older girl sees something and loses it. I find the little girl, but when we turn around to look for the one in her twenties, we're too late. She hung herself somehow in front of the doorway, and her body is spasming.

The little girl and I try to make a run for it. We're outside, in all the weird foliage. The little girl hides while I look around and I find a "good" spirit in the body of an elephant. This part doesn't make sense, but she says that if she can touch the little girl before the Tom Cruise evil spirit finds her, she can find the Light. And if she can do that, she can defeat him and cleanse the house. So I tell her where the little girl is, but the Tom Cruise spirit hears this because he was nearby in the body of an alligator. He confronts the spirit in the elephant and touches her before she can get to the little girl, so she becomes just another ghost trapped in the house.

I grab the little girl and we run a lot more. We get clear of the "jungle" but we're running downhill, on a road that looks like a hiking trail. At a fork in the road, the little girl takes the fork, which climbs uphill, while I run straight downhill because I'm running to fast to stop. When I get to flat ground, at another fork, I wait for the little girl to show up. I get worried and start to climb uphill. I find her trudging along, crying because "he touched me". I knew she meant Tom Cruise spirit touched her, and that meant that when he summoned her, she was going to have to go back to the house and die a horrific death, and be a ghost there forever. I tell her I won't let that happen, I grab her arm and we run a bit more. Of course, since I touched her, now the curse is on me too.

The perspective changes again. Now I'm a guy that has joined them and is telling them where to go. We end up walking on what seems to be the roof of a parking structure. The little girl is a few feet ahead and the older girl (that used to be me) is explaining the curse to me. "Did she touch you?" I asked her. She doesn't answer, so I ask again. "Did she touch you?!" She turns around and says, "Yes, okay? She did. We're going to die." And then she touches me (the guy). Bitch.

The little girl turns around to face us and says, "I don't want to be a ghost." The former "me" says, "Neither do I. If I'm going to die anyway, it's not going to be at that house, where I will be trapped forever. I'm going to do it right here. You two don't have to do this." Then all three of us climg on top of the railing. The older girl counts, "1, 2, 3," and both her and the little girl jump. I start to, but I look down and I stop because I'm a coward and I can't do it. Which I realize means that when Tom Cruise summons, I have to go to the house. I'll die a horrific death, and be a ghost forever.

Then my alarm rang.

Bizarre Dream

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 23:18:38 GMT

I got on a plane with Sterling, who had the plane ticket.
This plane had seating and couches.
I sat on a couch and a guy came up and asked me for my ticket.
I motioned for Sterling to show me the ticket.
It said "Complimentary Full/Half trip"
I believe Full was circled.

The guy didn't know what to do with it, or how to handle the ticket, so he asked if we would talk to the ticket station when we got off the plane.
So I sit down and then find myself on a couch in a very large home.

Sterling and I get up and roam through it and she says "I know exactly where we are, this is the place Aunt Carolyn was talking about." I remembered then we had been visiting with this Aunt Carolyn who said she was either related or knew someone who had a place where the walls were so far apart.

As we are looking around several people appear. Two small children, a teenage girl, an elderly man with one fake eye, a younger elderly man who looked like a younger version of him, and a youth, which appeared to be an even younger version of the elderly man with the fake eye. There was also woman in her 30's and one in her 50's or 60's. All of them except the man and all of his versions were black haired. All of them also wore black, except the multi-version man.

They asked who Sterling and I were. We explained we were relatives of Aunt Carolyn. Then I noticed a painting of a woman. Her eyes were the same shape and intensity of the elderly man. I walk past the multi-version men, they were all standing one behind the other, from shorter to taller. It was almost as though the girl and women in black couldn't see him. As I looked from the painting to the elderly man, recognition dawned in his face and he cried "I know you, you were looking for me! I was in the mirror!"

All of a sudden we are sitting down for dinner. The two younger children which are boys were behind me playing and talking to Sterling. the older lady told them sternly, "That's enough, go sit down and eat your food!" I turned to the older of the two boys and gently caressed his cheek and as I did so, some kind of static noise, like white noise came out of my mouth. I was trying to tell him how adorable I thought he was.
The older woman just looked at me with a look like "What in the world are you doing?"
As I turned around I found myself in a great hall with them. I overheard the oldest version of the man telling one of the boys to get my purse and hide it, that he couldn't let me leave. Then all of a sudden my purse was missing. I couldn't come right out and accuse them of stealing it, I was a guest in their house.

So I began trying to figure out how I could get my purse back, when one of the older women who appeared to be about 30 said, "you must know eerie." I was shocked to hear the name, then it was almost like I could see his grandmother. I nodded and said, "yes I know eerie, though he told me his name was eric. I didn't know until I spoke with his dear grandmother that his name was eerie." Then the oldest woman said in contemplation as she looked at me, "So you are about as close to eerie as the sun is wide." That statement was just odd to me, and I realized something weird was happening and I had to get out of there. I was about to start searching for my purse so I could leave, then I woke up.

ugh my head hurts

I had a dream that I went to another realm...well i think it was me since I was watching it in third person and she resembled me. This woman kept bringing me back and forth and no could know about it...there was some sort of connection, some sort of thing she attached to me and I think some sort of animal. Then we were in a like a dance hall and she was dancing with me. All around me were people of that realm dancing with people from earth and it seemed that there was nothing but girls (and they had a look of sadness and defeat about them). As people got tired, they were brought off the dance floor to stand off to the side while whoever was dancing with them went off to talk or something. Then there was only two people, myself and this other girl. The woman had me led me off the dance floor because i was getting tired. I looked at the group of girls who were standing looking horribly like they were going to fall over and thought that was where the other realm people expected me to go but instead, I sat on a couch and laid my head in my arms on the arm of the couch. The other girl who was dancing was just kinda standing in the middle of the dance floor. My eyes were closed (but since I was watching in third person, I was able to see a group of about three guys come back into the room and stand watching me.) They were saying that this one was pretty and I knew that the woman who brought me would get horribly angry if they tried to touch me or something. Another guy in the group said that the girl who was standing in the middle of the dance floor was also pretty and the third guy said that I was prettier because the area of skin in my shoulder areas was unblemished. I felt bad because the other girl quickly put on a shawl to hide the really intricate fairy tattoo on her shoulder. It was quite cool looking to me. Then I woke up feeling horribly groggy. I don't know if it is because I got too much sleep because I had at least 9-10 hours and I usually don't get that much or something. If I keep having similar dreams I'll have to look into it because like a week and a half ago, I dreamt about protecting someone or something for several nights. Then a few days ago, I dreamt I protected this girl from getting attacked by beating this guy (who looked like my ex) with a bat. There seems to be a recurring themes in my dreams and I want to try and make sense of them.

Aaaaaaaaaah!!

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 18:33:05 GMT

So I had this dream where one of my LJ friends (I don't know for sure which one) and I took a quiz that predicts the day you will die and we both got the same result: something along the lines of "You will die in 666 because you have no life left", and it had a picture of some really creepy-looking guy on it. And at one point, the picture had the words "FROZEN PETS" on it even though I don't know if that had anything to do with anything - apparently, even my most sinister dreams have at least one non-sequitur phrase.

When I woke up, I thought it was another of those dreams that scared me more in the dream than it would in real life. Then I realized something; it was a dream with 666 in it. I dunno what that means, but if it doesn't mean anything, I'll eat my Wii remote.

Plus, it said "You will die in 666"... Now I have to figure out what unit of time it meant.
I've already survived my 666th second after waking up from that dream.
~~If it was 666 minutes, that would be 1:52 PM according to my computer's clock (I'm in Central time). Not that much time left...~~ Came. Nothing yet.
~~If it was 666 hours, that would be just before 8:46 PM on July 5 according to my computer's clock.~~ No death here, but I did manage to give someone a big scare about it by accident.
666 days would be April 5, 2011, which is over a year after my apocalypse dream's predictions (which is now only 85-114 or 290 days away) - first things first, I say.

My dream last night - weirdest one in a while

Big Crayola Mess

Context to real life: My reading exam was last Wednesday, and the next day I found out I had made a 96, making the grade in this dream off by 124. I also watched the Star Trek movie recently, but I dunno if that's why Star Wars was involved in this dream.

Dream: There were two halves to this dream. The first half I don't remember enough of to post here. In the second half, I was in a computer lab in some business that wasn't a school of any kind (I'm wanting to think it was the dentist's office I go to) and was at one of the computers taking my reading exam, which was done on Crayola.com for some reason. The prompt was to write an open letter to the director of Star Wars (whom I didn't know the name of in the dream) about...I forgot what, but it wasn't about Star Wars, and considering what my other dreams are like, I probably just wrote stuff like "author cancelled" and "no education for singer" anyway. While I was writing, some girl behind me at another computer was taking an algebra exam of some sort that my mom was helping her with (even though in real life my mom doesn't understand algebra). At one point, that girl mentioned Bob Barker for some reason; if I remember correctly, it was because she had a crush on him. Back to my exam: it was timed, and when there were only 10 seconds left, I had almost finished and so I just put "Matt Aaron" at the end without bothering to think of a closing. Then Crayola.com automatically graded it and it said, "star wars: a big crayola mess" (with no capitalization or even the ® you'd expect to see after "crayola"), gave me a grade of -28, and then Wario showed up on screen for no reason. Now that I'm awake, I think "a big crayola mess" would probably describe the letter perfectly, but in the dream, I was insulted by it; in fact, when I got home, I thought about not using Crayola crayons anymore and using other crayon brands like RoseArt instead.

I think Nintendo and George Lucas are gonna sue Crayola now...</recycledjoke>

hi...

what does it mean when -

someone is sticking out their tongue out at you, but it is visibly infectious looking?
The person also had a tongue ring on..

later on in the dream, I was wearing a red hat... I looked over at the person and they were reading a book.

Sick day.

Wed, 20 May 2009 09:05:50 GMT

Last night I had a false awakening where I woke up and decided not to go to work and phone in sick instead. I could hear my family getting ready in the house and I didn't want them to hear me on the phone so I went over to my window to lean out and talk -- and when I got there it was the most vivid and spectacular view I've ever seen. Everything was ten times more colourful and defined than it is in waking life. This really caught me off guard and I was stunned for a couple of seconds, I realised I didn't feel normal and probably came pretty close to acheiving lucidity. Then I just phoned work and told them I didn't feel well and wouldn't be coming in, and that was either the end of the dream or I can't remember any more.

i have reoccuring dreams about missing the bus and going to the wrong class my last period.

Thu, 14 May 2009 21:15:08 GMT

Neonazis

Sat, 09 May 2009 17:11:37 GMT

I had a dream that Neopets had a rule against talking about Christmas, coloring, or eggs (among other things I can't remember)...

...Wonder why I would dream about that? Neopets does have some strict rules, but not THAT strict. In fact, in waking life, Neopets celebrates Christmas, has coloring pages, and some foods for Neopets are eggs or egg-based. I'm thinking the dream means I feel that I am having very little freedom in my life right now, because that's actually what I'm feeling.

Any thoughts?

Wikispecies in reverse?

I had a dream last night that I don't remember much of, but I remember that it involved insects being trained to edit Wikipedia articles. And as the dream progressed, it changed from insects to penguins, then to my sister pathvain_aelien's cat.

Definitely one of my favorites. Any idea what it means?

Weirdest Dream!

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 01:24:37 GMT

Quick reference:
I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where right now a lot of the towns in the south part of Manitoba is flooded from the recent melt, Almost meeting the Flood of the century in 97 records.
I love watching "The Young and The Restless"
My grandmother passed away at Christmas

So I had a dream where I was apart of the Young and the restless, I think I was portraying Victoria Newman... LOL, Adam was in trouble and Nick didn't want anything to do with Adam, but then Nick turned into my actual brother and I for some reason grabbed a bone my sister in-laws dog was eatting and it turned into a big piece of chocolate, and I broke off a piece and gave it to my brother...then gave the rest back to the dog LOL.

Then I was in some ceremony where I was sitting next to this overly sized guy who said he had a plane and can fly us somewhere (I forget what was being discussed) And when he took us to his plane, and it was.....LOL a minivan with wings hahahahha. But nevertheless, it flew like a plane and we flew over Winnipeg;

Then It turned into just me flying over Winnipeg Manitoba, I was sitting on a seat with armrests, probably from the van, but there were no wings, was not confided in a space or anything, nothing protecting me and I wasn't even wearing the seatbelt! I could feel the adrenaline go thru my body.... But I had my camera!! LOL someone somehow told me I guess I had headphones on, but they told me to take pictures of the water surrounding winnipeg. So I took a few pictures, then decided to capture it on video, so I am flying around in this contraption of a flight vehicle and took video footage. I even videotaped beneath me and got part of what I was flying on on film. There were a few sharp turns where I was scared I was going to fall out of the seat. And I got pretty close to the water where one point I was at a spot where the water was flowing very quickly almost like rapids, When it came to landing, I had no idea where to land or how to land as I had no wheels! I ended up landing in a big train yard where they store their cars... It was a rough landing but I made it....

next, I was showing people I work with the footage I took of the water around the province and they were amazed. By the time We were done watching one video, all the pictures I took and videos disappeared! It was like I woke up from that dream, but people saw the video and were sad the videos disappeared, and I some how said "sometimes I wish there were cameras that if you took pictures in your dream, they would still be there when you wake up"!! LOL

I somehow got back to the part with Adam and Nick in it and I was telling them what happened, then I somehow started talking to my grandmother who happened to come back from the dead, she literally said she couldn't believe she came back alive....

That was probably one of the weirdest dreams I had, wish I was flying a bit longer!! it was fun!! LOL

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:57:08 GMT

I have this somewhat recurring dream about going back to high school, not being able to open my locker, and not knowing my class schedule.

The problem is that I graduated high school four years ago, and I'm about to graduate college in a month. I don't know why on earth I dream about high school, and I don't know why I dream that I can't open my locker, since the last time I actually used one was the day I left high school. Whenever I have these dreams, I always justify being back in high school by saying I need to take one more class. Weird, I know.

Any ideas?

Something I've been wondering

Has anyone ever fallen asleep in class during a lecture or video, and though their dream didn't have much (if anything) to do with the lesson, it could still be heard, albeit with parts of it possibly altered? I just did that today in history class - I was dreaming about doing random things like playing Mario Kart Wii, yet could hear the video and the lecture. I'm fairly certain Hitler never tried to have sex with a rabbit though :P

I was a young boy living in a camp. The people the camp belonged to didn't really like me, but allowed me to stay - another warm body to work and find food was worth putting up with me, I guess. Someone had recently found some books from ancient times that we hoped would lead us to something - either a permanent settlement or items of power or something like that. I was talking with the camp leader when she sensed something coming - all of us had some little connection to magic, and she could tell a Sage was coming - someone who had given up their humanity for a greater connection to magic. Sages were always treated with respect, because they could be very helpful, and very dangerous.

I went to wait by the path into camp that the sage was coming by, in the bushes off to one side so I would see them before the rest of the camp, and also separate from the more legitimate camp members who were waiting. My dog hopped up on a fallen tree and started cleaning her crotch. I thought about scolding her for showing disrespectful body language when a sage was coming, then thought better of it, realizing I wasn't respectful either. I hopped up on the fallen tree to watch for the sage and tried to act more like I knew I should, for show at least.

The source of power came closer, and we saw that there were a couple of sages. I stood by the path and bowed as was expected, and the lead sage gestured for me to walk with them into the camp, saying he had a vision of my future. Everyone gathered around and I felt a little breathless, expecting that it would be something grand and purposeful at last. Instead, he said he saw me being arrested and laughed. Everyone turned away from me.

Later, I tried to go to orchestra practice (doesn't fit the setting, but hey, it's a dream) but they handed out all the cello parts and there were none left for me. I knew they were rejecting me because they thought I was a criminal due to be arrested.

I went back to my tent, depressed. It was very dark, but something was wrong. I opened the flap carefully, ready to attack or run, and found a huge rocket there, as well as the camp leader's daughter with a box of books - the ancient books that had just been found. She said the sages told her to bring them here, that I was supposed to ride in the rocket to find the promised land and that the books would help me. I flipped through the books - roleplaying books from waking life, like GURPS and D&D. I didn't recognize them as such in the dream, though. I looked over the rocket, and was thinking there wasn't anywhere near enough fuel to carry me and a box of heavy books, when I felt a sudden pressure to look at the instrument panel. I resisted it, intent on putting the books aside and just grabbing my survival pack, when I felt the pressure again. I looked, and saw a message that I was *not* supposed to ride in the rocket, that I was just to load the books in and set it off with the pre-programmed coordinates, which would take them to someone who was farther along in seeking whatever it was we were supposed to be looking for and who could make better use of the books.

I did so, kind of relieved I didn't need to ride in such a rickety old rocket, and as I was sneaking out of camp I saw the rocket flying up in the sky and blowing up, destroying all the books. Somehow, I knew that had been the sages' intent, but even though I was happy not to have blown up, I was angry at being used, and knew I was about to be caught and arrested like they had predicted.

then I woke up.

My first weird dreams in a while

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 02:49:13 GMT

Yesterday night, I finally had a dream weird enough to post here. Here it is:

(WARNING: One scene has nudity - sort of)

Unnamed dream involving backwards music, Homestar Runner, Sarah McLachlan, two Enyas, and Disney

Cast (in order of appearance): Me, whoever I was originally listening to backwards, Strong Bad, Limozeen/Sarah McLachlan, Enya, Enya, some Disney characters

Context to real life: My interest in backwards music did spawn from posts on the Homestar Runner Wiki Forum that linked to this, this, and this, which are backwards versions of The Cheat Theme Song, Because, It's Midnite, and Different Town, respectively, possibly explaining why backwards Homestar Runner songs were involved.

Dream: I was listening to some non-Homestar Runner song backwards writing down the lyrics, when I suddenly decided to play Everybody to the Limit backwards on my radio. I listened to it for a while, but then changed it to the backwards Because, It's Midnite, which was different from the waking-life backwards version. I went back to my computer to finish the other backwards song, but realized I wouldn't hear it over Limozeen screaming backwards. However, I didn't turn it off; I just listened to it without writing any lyrics down. This is what I remember of the backwards lyrics to B,iM in the dream:

(four lines in which all I remember is that one mentioned "all we do")
(something about WeeWorld) (x8)
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Clearly, it's really based on the backwards lyrics to Vox by Sarah McLachlan, and I think Limozeen actually turned into her at some point (WTCN?).

Skipping ahead to the next thing I remember, I was looking at the cover of the album The Memory of Trees by Enya. It was different from the real one; the throne chair thing had two seats, one on the front and one on the back. It's reversible, apparently. (WTCN?) Enya was in the seat on the back, and her arms were posed sort of like Dido's are on the cover of Life for Rent. There was a blanket resembling my sister's electric blanket in the front seat, which I was somehow able to take out of the album cover (WTCN?). This got me to wondering if the Enya in the photo was secretly really an Enya figurine, and tried to take her out of the cover, but she disappeared, and a bath or spa or something with another Enya in it appeared in the front seat (WTCN?). I somehow zoomed in on this Enya and noticed she looked sort of like a mermaid, since her hips had some sort of bluish-greenish color that might have been the tail, and she wasn't wearing much - just a bra of the typical non-shell-wearing mermaid variety, which for some reason, only covered the bottom and outer edges of her breasts, yet her breasts somehow still lacked that one feature that makes them count as porn. It's like when a girl's wearing a low-cut shirt or dress and she bends down and you look down her shirt or dress and her breasts look sort of topless, sort of not. Except that Enya wasn't bending. Each side of her waist also had three silver metallic stripes of something on it for some reason.

Then, for some reason, the dream jumped to a Disney cartoon (WTCN?) in which random Disney characters (I don't remember any specifically) were apparently having a battle and kept shooting slingshots at the tops of buildings, knocking the tops onto adjacent buildings (WTCN?). Strong slingshots, apparently.

Sure, I have a bit of a crush on Enya, but that's going too far. And what's with the Disney part? Holy whole hand dealer.

Anyways, then last night, I had another weird dream:

Unnamed dream involving Pikmin, a PDA, and a TI-84 calculator

Cast: Me, Olimar (who only actually showed up in a part I don't remember), some Pikmin (who also only showed up in a part I don't remember)

Context to real life: I did drop my TI-84 calculator today. Thing keeps slipping out of my hand when I have a lot of books to carry. And a post I made to autismyesterday sparked an argument between two people that might have been foreshadowed by the first error message in this dream. This dream might also be a sequel to SMWL*R4 or Author Cancelled, two past dreams I have posted here.

Dream: I was playing Pikmin on a PDA (WTCN?). Apparently, this version knows the actual date of Olimar's crash (January 1), and Olimar has a whole year to find all the parts of his ship instead of just 30 days. I could also change the date it currently was in the game whenever I wanted (WTCN?), and accidentally changed it to January 2 (before the change it was still January 1). Then the PDA turned into a TI-84 calculator (WTCN?), and I tried to change the date back by entering a zero (WTCN?), but got an error saying "NO EDUCATION FOR SINGER" (WTCN?). Then I tried typing in some phrase that mentioned grass (WTCN?) and had some Greek letters in it (WTCN?). I got an even weirder error message, but I don't remember it :(

At least this one has no a whole new kind of nudity. (if you can't understand this sentence, this explains why I included "a" where grammar doesn't allow)

If you can name these, go ahead. I want the first one's title to have something to do with the Enya scene (and the Disney scene if possible) and either actually be or be a paraphase of a backwards lyric on Ours Will You 1-Up or one of the first three links I provided regarding that dream's context. You're on your own with the second one, though.

Countdown until end of world according to this dream: 146-175 or 351 days

Dream Of A White Sand Beach

Sat, 04 Apr 2009 21:11:30 GMT

In this dream last night, I was wandering about aimlessly down these footpaths and I took a particular turn. Ahead, around a corner, was a pretty steep path that I ordinarily would never take. I guess I felt brave at the moment and I was also quietly praying as I do sometimes when I walk, and I went down the slope. Halfway down the slope, I was able to see water ahead, beautiful blue water, and my heart jumped for joy.

I didn't know I was near a particular lake. I had it in my mind that it was a lake about an hour from here in real life, one that I hadn't visited in years. But, in the next few steps, I was able to see everything, this incredible beachline with white sand (I've never been to a white sand beach) and light blue water and fairly calm waves washing ashore. Even though it was obviously an ocean I still was thinking it must be the lake I had in mind. Not sure if that would means anything or not.

When I came down completely from the slope, my heart felt so light and I was thanking God, realizing that finding this place was truly a gift. (I love oceans with a passion, though I've only ever been to a few beaches in my life. The closest thing we have around here is the Gulf Of Mexico and I try to go annually.) I ran out into the soft sand and into water that had just washed in, about 2 or 3 inches worth, and let it cover my feet. I think I was so happy I was actually laughing, looking at all the beauty before me. I heard some people talking and I looked back onto the shore.

When I'd first seen the beach, it appeared to be empty of anyone else but it was just some very dense fog I could barely see through. I tried as hard as I could and finally saw, beyond the white fog, that there were plenty of people out there. I could even make out the big colorful sun umbrellas. This didn't disturb me in the least bit and I stepped back out of the fog and closer to the water. I could definitely pretend that I was the only one there, that this was a magical gift just for me, that probably miles of shoreline stretched empty into infinity, just for me. I was still extremely happy and thanking God. I should probably mention that I suffer from some pretty dark depression and, for the last few weeks, I've been extremely low.

Definitely a good dream. Made me feel very special. Anybody have any ideas???

Some more dreams

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 12:15:18 GMT

Wednesday night I dreamt my boss turned up at my house drunk with her three year old daughter. I said to my boyfriend I had to have a shower and he said, “what am I supposed to do just sit here like a lemon?” I whispered to him that I wasn’t having people round and that my boss had just turned up. The next thing I know this guy Malcolm who I used to work with and people I didn’t recognise were there and I was having some kind of party.

The next day I told Sarah at work about our boss and she said that our boss had told her that she was using the lines in the road to drive straight. I said to Sarah I knew it was a dream when Malcolm and others turned up and she said what it was a dream it didn’t happen and I said I didn’t know and we’d have to ask our boss.

Then something else happened I can’t remember like I was at a goth party or something and then I woke up. I also dreamt the other night I had thread in my mouth and I was pulling it out like dental floss between my teeth and I was worried it would never stop. My Mum and her friend Carole were there before I went to take the thread out and I think they were judging me.

Last night I dreamt the house was invaded. I was dreaming I was asleep and someone grabbed my leg. It was this fat woman. It turned out there were all these people in the house, mainly some kids who got in a crawl space we don’t have in real life. I managed to get them out and there was grass and crap all over the house and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get it clean before my boyfriend gets back (he's on holiday at the moment). This woman was shouting at her kid to get out of the crawl space. Then I realised it was just a dream and could feel these two hands pulling me back and I thought this is to wake me up but I dreamt a bit longer before being woken by the alarm. Now I think back to being pulled by the hands it is quite creepy. Were they pulling me awake or from the brink of death? It is more likely they were pulling me through different layers of my consciousness.

In another part of my dream I had a nursery in our house, I think I was supposed to be my character from my book (unfinished/unpublished) though the first two babies I saw laying in cots were white. They looked odd - red and blotchy. I picked one up and seemed comfortable and was talking in a high pitched voice to them. Then one of the babies turned black but like a black full grown woman rather than a baby. Then they turned into teddies. Sam from work was there and I was thinking in the dream whether she was going to breastfeed my babies. Then I said to her because this is a dream they have turned into teddies. I used to have a recurring dream where men would turn into teddies until I got a boyfriend in real life. The nursery was our spare room in real life but seemed to be able to have a lot more in it than in real life. Then I remember going through my knicker drawer sitting there in just my knickers trying to find a bra but picking up knickers instead. I’m thinking this is what I was doing just before I woke up.

Any thoughts?

Very Violent Nightmare

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:06:51 GMT

Had the weirdest, most violent dream last night.

I was in this enormous auditorium, like that of a high school. There were a couple of high school friends there. At first, we were getting our writing assignments back. I had the 3rd highest score, which made me happy. At some point, one of my friends got called out for something and it seems like she got suspended. Lots of weird stuff.

Anyway, somebody I didn't know from a couple rows back had a gun and he started shooting people randomly. I was on an outside seat, so, as he went down the aisle, he turned the gun on me. I thought for sure I was dead, but he asked me what kind of person I was. I started answering whatever I thought he might want to hear, like I'm loyal, etc. Sure enough, he chose me. He somehow connected my hand to his gun. Not by cuffs, but by a ring that squeezed my big fat finger, hahhah. Everytime he shot somebody, my hand was right there as if it were doing the shooting.

On and on he went, as "we" murdered a lot of kids. I was really confused as to why people weren't trying to run away. There they all sat, perfectly still in the rows, as if they were trapped. Something happened and I realized that the ring had popped open. I kept my hand in place anyway, so he wouldn't know, and when I saw my chance, I ran out the doors. Later, when people saw me, they were very panicked, and were telling others that I'd been helping him. One person believed me and got a news reporter on my side, and I just cried and cried and tried to explain that it wasn't my fault.

Pretty much some kind of a GUILT dream, huh?
