Krista's Dream Journal

Dream - Lucid

I was in my kitchen, and an episode of "How I Met Your Mother" was going on in my house, though the only two characters involved were Barney and Lily. I was somehow involved too.

The plot was weird, it was like Barney thought Lily was going to sleep with him or something, and something about him thinking I was going to sleep with him, I don't know, I can't quite recall. We were in my room, and Barney and Lily were arguing about something, probably Lily sleeping with him.

Then, we were in the kitchen, and around the same thing was going on. I was somehow involved, but I'm not sure how anymore.

I was then upstairs, on the couch in the bonus room, cleaning my pipe. So much resin was coming out, it was disgusting. There was tons of it, way more than any pipe or really any kind of smoking apparatus could hold, and it was all formed into these big, stinky, sticky balls. I then started pulling it out of my mouth; there was so much of it, it was really just nasty. There ended up being so much of it, I had a giant trash bag full of it, PLUS a mostly clear tupperwear container with some in it.

I was trying to get all this done without my mom noticing. I went downstairs, and noticed there was resin all over my fuzzy black and white socks, like in big sticky rings around them. I was trying to get it all off, but it was like bubblegum and stretching and sticking to me. I finally got it off of me somehow, before anyone really noticed. I could smell its nasty smell on myself.

I then remember my mom yelling for me from my room. She seemed angry. We were moving, and I guess she found or noticed something.
"Hold on!" I yelled back, exasperatedly.

I was then hauling the trash bag and the tupperwear container downstairs and to the garage. I was going to throw it out; I don't need this nasty mess.

I set it down in the garage, which is where Lily and Barney were now located. My dresser was down there too. Lily pulled my pipe out of the dresser. I don't remember really what she said about it. I think the "episode" of How I Met Your Mother that was going on in my house was concluding. I still had a part in it, and I think it had to do with me sleeping with Barney, but I cannot remember.

I then remember walking past my room and seeing it being very empty. The window looked bigger for some reason. I think my mom was over by the window. She didn't say anything.

Then, I was in another room, a cluttered bedroom, in another house. A guy I went to high school and college with, David, was there. He was always kind of a quiet, quirky kid. Anyway, I was cleaning some things up off the floor with my back turned to David, and he asked me
"Krista? Would you like to go on a date to Chuck-E-Bitch's, I mean Chuck-E-Cheese's, on Saturday?"
He was a little flustered from the mistake he made, but I giggled a little because I thought it was adorable. I then remembered seeing one of his Facebook updates that said "I'm going to ask a girl out", or something of that nature.
I don't remember what I said immediately, but I was debating it in my head. I didn't see a reason not to go, simply because he's a very nice guy and deserved a chance, but I kept thinking I had something to do on Saturday, though I couldn't remember what.

I then had to leave the room for a minute, I don't know why, but I said to David,
"I'll be right back, David."
I was smiling, and still trying to think of what I had to do on Saturday.

I don't think I ever actually saw David's face, just his legs and his torso.

I didn't even watch How I Met Your Mother last night before bed, and I dreamed about it. Sigh. I watch too much Netflix.

I was about to race Austin underwater, though we were on two separate courses, though they were both underwater. I remember seeing his face, and he looked so much younger, like a 12 -year-old version of himself. He was smiling and his face looked bright and full of life.

I knew right off I couldn't beat him. He was well known for his great swimming skills. I decided to try anyway.

The course started out on land, but only briefly. It was in a cave that had a part of it submersed in water. I stood right where the cave lightly sloped into the underwater portion on a white line that had been drawn to designate the start. I stood prepped like I was about to run a race, with one foot behind me in an almost kneeling positing with both my hands on the ground. I got the signal to start, though I can't remember what that was. I went straight into the water and swam hard through the underwater cave. There was no chance to breathe anywhere, for it was, well, an underwater cave, but that didn't seem to be an issue. I was surrounded by underwater plants, anenomes, and gray rock. I swam into another part of the cave on my right.

I was in the dining room at my family's house with Lily and Marshall from How I Met Your Mother (this is what happens when I fall asleep watching Netflix). They were doing something on my laptop, some kind of game, and I kept pushing a button repeatedly, trying to fill up some bar to win. Every time I'd get close, they'd shut me down. I then remember sticking a pin or a needle inside part of the computer to push some small button (think the 'reset' button on some electronics where you have to stick the head of a pen inside a small hole to push it). I kept doing that really fast and had a couple more to go when, I again got shut down.

I was supposed to meet Jake at a restaurant. He suggested a local hookah bar that I used to frequent in waking life, but I haven't been to in a couple of years. I was surprised he suggested it, but I agreed to go. I got there first and waited on Jake for awhile. I ordered my food and it got there before he did. Finally, he got there and sat down at the table diagonally across from me, to my left. I feel like there were a couple of other people there too. We were sitting outside in the porch area of the bar.

Then, Jake looks at me blankly and says
"I had sex with you because you're an emotion."
This really pissed me off. I was infuriated. I was so mad, my vision started to blur as I looked under the table for my black flip-flops. As I was slipping them on and standing up, I said, angrily,
"Well I hope you want to pay for dinner then!"

And with that, I stormed off. Jake went after me. We started really getting into it. I vaguely remember us having plastic yellow baseball bats and hitting one another with them (I own one of these in waking life). The restaurant briefly looked like my family's house as we fought through it. During the fight, I felt like he had the upper hand, like he was winning; I felt inadequate.

We sat back down at the table and the waitress said something to us, though I can't quite remember what exactly, but it was something about us fighting. We were still angry at this point, and I still felt strangely low, like he was going to break it off with me or something, I'm not sure. It was not a good feeling though.

Then, I remember driving on the interstate, waiting for my exit to get there. I was driving back from Nashville. I then suddenly remembered I had no idea which exit to take, and I had forgotten to set up my GPS. I quickly, while driving, grabbed it out of my glove compartment, hooked it up and turned it on. The exit was coming up soon, though it was at an odd place on the GPS map. I knew it was a spirally ramp that I was looking for. The GPS then showed me driving inside a spiral, heading towards the center.
