Just Another Dream Journal

Now that I’m back to my own schedule, I’m dreaming a lot more and actually remembering them. I missed that so much.

I woke up too many times throughout the night, so I mostly have snippets.

I was a sea creature in one of them, swimming through the water at great speeds. I find a small squid like animal trapped in a net. I become myself again, and I pinch off the head of the squid to eat it, similar to a crawfish. But then the squid is a small woman. I pinch off her face and she then resembles an old woman. I pinch that off and she’s left with just her skull. I then feel sad for her and put the layers of her face back on (even though I had eaten them lol, they were in my hand again.

In another dream, I was driving home and saw the smashed shell of a very large turtle on the tracks. His head was all that remained and I thought about stopping to put him out of his misery.

In yet another dream, I was talking to someone about death or danger. I think I said I didn’t want to be caught unaware, that I wanted to know ahead of time so I could react. Then I see an ocean of water coming down on us. We were in a room. I looked at a teen boy and told him to keep it together; to take a deep breath and follow me as we squeezed out a doorway. He glanced back, as the three of us walked hand in hand through the door and he he saw a teddy bear in a sink.

Turns out, the teddy bear was actually a baby he had been left to look after as we fled. I knew she must be dead, but we went back to search for her anyhow. A man cried that we must find her. We found a flipflop and there was some side bit about someone working machinery but we found her. She was alive but I knew she’d have impairments.

There were many other dreams and snippets but I’ve forgotten them as I wrote this... except for men quickly spinning in circles (a sort of stress release in my dreams, though it’s typically me spinning)

The water in my dreams came from 1) a Facebook conversation about a starfish out of water and 2) a show I’ve been watching that takes place in the Keys and has a lot of ocean and snorkeling scenes.

The removal of the woman’s face hints at a removal of “masks” that a person wears and is very curious to me.

Ah yes, I also dreamed of snakes. Huge python type snakes. One crawled on a man and bit him. A boy was hunting them but in trouble.

I also dreamed of the Kingdom Hall; of cleaning it with a group and looking for some milk for Artie (a man).

Okay, that’s it I think lol

I took a nap from 12PM-1:44 PM. It felt like the best sleep I've gotten in a long time.
Yet, my Fitbit tells me it took me 41 minutes to fall asleep ( ) and that I spent 60 minutes being restless. SO, I actually only got 44 minutes worth of sleep.

I also had some of the best/most vivid dreams I've had in a long time. Too bad they were scary.
In the dream, I was standing in the driveway, talking with my husband. The sky was lighting up with lightning. Hubby kept missing it because it was behind me (lol). Just as he finally noticed, fire and fireballs started raining down from the sky in the distance. I ran for the house. Hubby seemed unconcerned. I wanted him to come inside, but he wanted to go back to his house.

The next thing I recall is of being in the car with Paula. I was telling her to buy as much non-perishables and water as possible because who knows how long a war would last. She scoffed and said it would be over in 2 weeks. Then I saw massive infrastructure and crop damage and I told her those no way to know how long it would take for repairs and to be prepared.

Then I was in my yard. The outside was an apartment complex I lived in a long time ago. The inside of my house was a weird mesh of mine, my hubby's, and my grandmothers homes. In the yard were 2 snakes. I was worried about them, so I brought them inside. I found out later that the big one was a python and the small one was poisonous. There was a little girl and many animals with us and I was afraid the snakes would kill them but I couldn't find the reptiles to bring them back outside.
We did find a cockroach though (major phobia of mine). There was another couple with us and they helped me look for and squash it.

Then, I found the python. I had a cane of sorts and he went right on it. But went back and forth across it, toward whichever hand was holding it at the moment. When I brought him inside, he was brown and yellow colored. As I dropped him off at what looked like a decaying whale tail in the weeds, he was purple and blue.

In another dream, I was walking the mall with my family. My (deceased) grams was there. I went down a couple water slides- the slides of which that formed with the push of a button at the start... then the dream transformed into a sort of Sonic the Hedgehog game. I was a character, racing around a board, fighting bad guys and finding secret levels which were like the Sonic loops. You'd have to time everything perfectly and jump off the heads of the bad guys to platforms above them. I kept dying and losing my weapons lol.

I made it out of the game and was in a locker room. There were shower supplies in ziplock baggies and the toothbrush was extra long because it doubled as a loofa holder to clean your back with I was extra sweaty and my nipples ripped holes through my shirt so I was trying to discreetly cover them.

A phone call and the heat from my bedroom woke me up. But that's for RRCC

I've been awake for 2 hours now so my recollection is going to suffer. But, wow.
I had the first truly great dream in a very long time.

My memory starts out sexual. We were under covers on a couch, trying to be stealthy. My grandmother starts firing off a list of stuff she wants the guy to pick up from the store lol. I pretended to be asleep until he was gone and then my grams told me he was engaged, that the marriage must take place and I needed to forget and stay away from him.
Next thing I know, I'm back in time to the early 1900's. I was with a wealthier class of people in nice gowns and social standings. I was paired with some girl and we talked about favorite songs. I then told her about Jekyll and Hyde and sang part of a song for her. I told her it wouldn't come out until the 1990's but she HAD to see it even though she'd be 105
The dream gets vividly sexual but we're interrupted by something else. Turns out he was married and his wife was ushering him to a car. She told me they both had their own sexual kinks and secrets. I told them I was pregnant and they'd never see the child because WV was much too far away for that.

We were crammed into a ancient car with another family. It was a poor family and they were selling their children and babies.
Then I insist on driving but the steering wheel is on the wrong side and women weren't supposed to drive so I fought for the steering wheel.
The roads were insane. There weren't any stop lights or signs so everyone was just doing their own thing and a bus full of orphans barely avoided a train, but crashed into the side of a factory.

Someone ended up finding a book I had about cars. It had a logo (Motorolla lol as a car company) which was a car just then being invented. They were fascinated by everything they read.
The dream just fizzled out.

A tidbit I don't know how it fits is that I had a gummy substance stuck in my mouth and throat. I had to grab it with both hands but also be discrete. It made several appearances in the above dream. I've had that event throughout the decades but rarely. I've never really known what it signifies.

I also had a zombie dream at some point. I loaded myself into a wrong save game and it was horde night. I was rushing to the roof access to avoid the horde when a giant hornet attacked. I grabbed it and tried stabbing it but kept missing. My health was very low and I eventually died. I saw an error pop up saying my bedroll had been destroyed. Great. They destroyed my base and there was no telling where I'd respawn.
I came to in a nice neighborhood. I saw one of my earlier build with a staircase that didn't connect to an upper floor. I wondered if I had enough stamina to make the jump. I did. When I landed, there were bicycle's tied nearby. I approached the door and heard something like breaking glass. One of the bikes fell over and shattered. People lived in the house and thought I broke the bike until they reviewed a recording. We had a good laugh about me mixing up the homes and I noticed it was 11:30AM and horde night was over.

I had those dreams between 7:30AM-9:30AM.

I recall lots of fragments:
living my new game Starbound- terraforming, fighting creatures; vaping in public and being charged a fee for "smoking" in a room; vaping in a theater and feeling the publics scorn; traveling abroad and running out of e-juice
Ugh... there were so many others and just like that *poof*

I had a great multitude of great dreams last night.... but woke too frequently and lost most of them
Now all I have a fragments and snippets.

In one, I was on a roof with my step-mom. She stomped and hissed at a kitten and it fell off the roof into a pond. It was swimming in the water but crying to get back on the roof. There was a weird earthen area on the roof. A couple of cats were sun bathing on it, but one was starved almost to death and had flies buzzing around it.
(I had that dream, on large part, because there was a male cat outside my window caterwauling for females).

In another dream, I was trying to sell a porcelain head. I told them I found it in a bunch of stuff my grandmother left behind and it occurred to me that I had way too much stuff too and had to part with some. I told them I wished I could find all my uncles coins.

In another dream, I was fighting with my dad. Someone left mildewed dishes behind and I accused my brother. Hate and rage filled his eyes and I kept pushing 'you can't stand that I've said something against your precious little boy?!' My dad raised up to hit me and I dared him to, then left, saying he was dead to me.
(I don't understand that dream at all... I was the "precious" one to my dad. He and my brother never got along)

Another dream was of driving and getting lost and seeing cargo loaded onto flatbeds and big rigs and gas was under $2.00

Ugh... there were so many others, but I've lost them completely....

I had my standard zombie dream, except I was moistening some sort of canister with spit on my hands so I could stick them onto the side of a trailer to give me more space There was a zombie cop in a house right beside me and needed more space to maneuver and avoid his acid spit.
Then I loaded someone else's file and it was horde night but it also had the baby mutants from The Forest.

I had another dream I only recall partially. My brother moved into my bio-dads house. It displaced my step-mom though and she was lashing out over FB. I asked if she had left anything behind and he said they got everything- even one of the cats.

Fitbit: 7AM-1:30PM restless 2hrs 39 minutes for a grand total of 3hrs and 56 minutes worth of sleep

I had a strange dream about being in bed with my p-doc. We were just snuggling but it could've turned into more but I saw my hubby's lights come on across the field and jumped up terrified he'd see a different car in the driveway and come investigate. As the dream evolved, hubby didn't live there, my mom did. She knew who was over and she was furious because he broke into her house, knocked over the Christmas tree, stole 2 boxes of gifts and a loaf of bread. I kept trying to tell her he didn't do that, that he'd been at my place the whole time, but she wasn't hearing it.

In another dream, some girl cut off her arm with a knife. I told myself that couldn't happen because it wasn't strong enough to get through bone, but it never occurred to me that I was dreaming

More tidbits:
An alternate reality; a strange tunnel (more like a tram track as it was very high above the ground) with missing sections you had to jump over; a girl changing her skin texture but it glitched and looked weird for certain ones; getting lost while running through a huge building but severed heads showed the correct path after a woman yelled at me for going the wrong way... ah yes, but first I was in a vehicle. A group of bad guys kept firing EMP's at me to stall the vehicle I was in. It was a water vehicle and I finally made it to the building. There were mutants in the wide halls and they were going to attack me with a lasso-like appendage but I told them I was on their side and to attack the people pursuing me.

All of those seem to be mostly inspired by Under the Dome and my new game The Forest.

Fitbit: 3:34AM-11:54AM 12 times restless for 2hrs 25 minutes. 5hrs 55 minutes proper sleep.
I think my silent alarms were confusing the device. I turned them off before bed last night and I had no conflicting times.

I had a lot of amazing dreams last night... but I forgot them almost as soon as I woke. I recall only tidbits:

In one dream, I was pregnant and excited about it, but someone shoved a knife between my legs repeatedly to give me an abortion (I had that dream thanks to having a pro-life/pro-choice convo with my daughter and then seeing a news headline about an abortion survivor speaking out before Congress)

In another dream, I was stuck in a dream loop, changing history over and over again until I could get it right (probably inspired by "Under the Dome" which I've been binge watching).

I was flying in another dream and that's the one I wish I could recall most of all. I love flying dreams.

Yet another dream was, of course, zombies I haven't even been playing 7D2D lately. My son says it's withdrawal but I have the dreams even more when I do play my game I enjoy them, though, so I'm not complaining.

Fitbit: It's been very bugged lately. I even manually changed it, but it just changed itself back. It *says* I was asleep at 1:19AM (it was really 2:30AM ) and that I woke at 1:25PM (it was really 2PM) But going on what it says, I was restless 15 times for 2 hrs 48 minutes which means I got 9 hrs 18 minutes worth of sleep.

My son has an appointment... and of course I recalled 3 dreams upon waking but have no time to write them.

To jog my memory later: dildo; Christmas; zombies

I slept wonderfully last night. I remembered to take some pain meds beforehand. But I don't recall many dreams.

In one, I was at a mall restaurant looking for something to eat. A kid was in front of me at what looked like a deli counter. But it was like a Hibachi bar. Only he was "pretending" to be gross by acting like he was licking the edges of her sandwich, sneezing and coughing on it. The kid squealed in delight but I kept thinking that was still gross because he was bound to be getting spittle all over it.

In another dream, I dreamed I had slept til nearly 5PM and hubby was irritated with me. I then woke up 25 minutes before my alarm for 10:30

Fitbit: Bedtime 2:52AM-9:56AM 12 times restless for 1hr 46 minutes Total proper sleep 7hrs 4 minutes.
Much better than usual.

I slept rough last night. I had a lot of good dreams, but I woke so frequently I only partially recall one of them

I had a laptop that needed charged, so I took it to the kitchen and plugged it in behind the sink. My charger had to plugs on it and one hung down into the sink which was full of water. I realized everything too late and wondered how to unplug it. I got an oven mitt but hesitated because I didn't know if I was grounded.
Then I remembered the multi-plug outlet and shut it off (It was nowhere near me lol and I had plugged directly into the wall ) I kept hoping I was in a dream. I finally pulled the plug out of the wall and the prongs were warped. My grandmother chastised me and in trying to straighten the hot prongs, she wiggled them too much and broke them off. I grabbed some glue and tried to put it back together.
I had JUST renewed my EQ2 subscription and the laptop was new and my only source for the internet. I was very stressed out and miserable and then I woke.

*whew* It took me a moment to fully grasp that I had been dreaming The dream was so real but so weird. First: there's never a wall plug directly behind a sink; the multi-plug outlet wasn't even being used; I've not owned a laptop for more than a decade; I've not played EQ2 for a year or 2; glue. Seriously I was going to glue the prongs back on and actually use it? I am so glad my waking self is a bit more intelligent than that.

Fitbit: 2:46AM-1:06PM 19 times restless for 3hrs 58 minutes. Total sleep: 6hrs 22 minutes.

I actually had some great dreams last night, PLUS I remember some of them.

In one, there was a pregnant woman in a deep bathtub. She was going through something dangerous (?) and wanted to ensure her baby survived. I watched as the water hardened to ice. I heard the baby's heartbeat slow and then stop. There was a man, a doctor, beside the tub and I then heard his thoughts 'the child will live. It's too bad about the mother though'. My view zooms out and I see the water covered the woman above her nose and she drowned to death. The man was about to cut the baby out of the woman but then time sort of froze.

There was another man. He wanted to save the woman even though he had been shot. He reversed time until right before the woman died, then froze time so he could get her out of the water. The doctor could see the ripple though and was about to stop him.... and the dream ended.

Another dream was of me at the Kingdom Hall. A favorite Elder had returned and I was very happy to see him.

I dreamed one of the girls came into my room to take some milk (I have a mini-fridge in here).

Gah! I had one other awesome dream but I have forgotten it.

Oh yes, Fitbit: 5:49AM-2PM Restless 11 times for 2 hours 2 minutes. Total sleep 5hrs 2 minutes.

I had a ton of interesting dreams last night, but I've been interrupted so many times since waking that I've forgotten most of them.

In the last dream, there were butterflies which indicated a portal which was in a pool of water. I was with a hunting party and we had to swim to the bottom of the pool to find ourselves. I was a packet of red/brown and green siracha (sp) spices like at Taco Bell
I vaguely recall another dream where I was pushing my hubby on a gurney. He was partially wrapped like a mummy and I was looking for the mens restroom for him.

In another dream, I infiltrated some large and secretive building. I only got away with it because I ran into a blind woman who mistook me for someone else who had never been there before. I loved that dream. It was very clandestine and interesting, but I've forgotten everything else other than tidbits: secret elevators, medical experiments, clones, nearly getting shot by a booby trap when I was on a roof, breaking into a safe.

There were so many others. I flew in one of the dreams. I wish I could recall more.

BUT, I actually slept and I slept fairly well.

Fitbit: 12:44AM-12:54PM restless 17 times for 3hrs 6 minutes. Actual sleep: 9hrs 4 minutes.
My average sleep this week has been 5 1/2 hours a night.

I managed a couple stress dreams this morning.
In one of them, my mom was verbally bashing my youngest. She said she used to be my clone but now she looks terrible with her dyed red hair and lesbian relationship. I yelled at her for being so mean and told her she was crazy, that Zee's still beautiful etc etc.

In the other dream, I was driving down the road as a passenger and I saw something small fall out of a moving car. The car I was in stopped, as did the one in front of us. A woman was scurrying about, picking up money that was blowing away in the wind. I rushed over to what had fallen out: a little girl. I bundled her up, looked her over and she looked completely fine. I asked her if she fell asleep against the door and wasn't wearing her seatbelt. Then I buckled her in and told her not to go to sleep in case her brain had a boo-boo lol

Fitbit: 4:20AM-12:22PM sleep. 12 times restless for 2 hours 15 minutes. Sleep 5hours 47 minutes
