East of East St. Louis

There's a girl stuck in a glass box, unable to get out. However, she can cast astral projections of herself - and has sent one of them to find me. She asks me for help, and I gladly volunteer. I gather my Mom and a couple of my other friends and for some reason we can't fit in one car. So we take two, ready to free the girl and kick ass.

We find the place where the girl is being held. I go up to the glass and see the girl is terrified. "Don't break it!" my Mother tells me, keeping an eye out for bad guys. We don't see any, and I carefully go to the glass and place my hands on it. The glass melts away, and the girl gets out. She had a bad fear of glass - she'd fallen through a window once and had been badly scarred on her arms from it, and now she didn't like glass.

"Hurry up!" My Mom told me, and quickly we rushed to the car again. Our other friends had heard about some kind of supernatural fight thing going on, and so they had gone to help out while we helped the girl stuck in the glass.

We were on our way to the fight and my Mom said "Oh shit, we're almost out of gas. We're swerving off." We ended up doing this. The gas pumps were shaped oddly, and I got out to pump the gas. It took a short time and my Mom was yelling at me to get back in the car or she would leave without me. I had to lurch as quickly as I could over to the car and for a few minutes I was dragged along until I managed to get back into the car.

We were driving along a road at the bottom of a cliff of sorts, and above us were pretty houses that just felt wrong. Like they weren't normal. I mentioned this to my Mom.

"We'll have to check them out later," she said.

"I agree with her," the girl we rescued, who was in the backseat, said. "They don't seem right."

We finally got to where we were supposed to be. A huge fight was going on. There was a couple of dragons, too, and one person, being sneaky, slunk up behind the dragon and killed it. I was amazed at this.

Dream #1

My Mom has a favor for me to do - take some stuff over to Ms. Norma's apartment. I took the box and walked over to her apartment, although it looked more like a house. They showed me around and it reminded me a little of Mrs. McBee's house. I looked out the window (somehow the scenery had changed, and I was looking out at a kind of swampy-woodsy-wood walkway type thing instead of a street. After I talked Mrs. Norma and took a tour of their house/apartment I started walking home.

The next thing I knew I was in a van with four people - two men leering at me and I'm scared. I managed to get out of the van and I start running. I find a restaurant/bar I know and go in, and start asking around, determined and becoming a bit like hardboiled noir detective. I'm starting to get some information when my Mom comes into the restaurant. She and I start to walk home (... no, don't know why) and I admire the woods as we walk.

I point out to my mom that there is a wolf looking at us. Then I notice there are two. Three, four, five... There's a pack of wolves around us.

They're talking wolves. My Mom and I start to talk to them - it looks more like a pack of dogs being led by a wolf than anything. At the least they don't look like full-bred wolves. They walk us home and I scritch them a little, amused by some of the less shy ones.

Dream #2

I am in the aisle seat of a bus, which I hate. It looks like a school bus, and I'm going off to college. We're cutting through what looks like a mall - there's a thriftshop, a jewelry store, a few other things. The bus stops eventually and I get out, nervous and going into the library when I can. This is also the site of my first class, being taught by my old economics teacher, Mr. Davidson.

Within a few minutes of the class I have to pee. The teacher has already told us that we can't leave the class. I start to squirm and a man asks me what the problem is. I say, utterly embarassed, that I have to pee. The man leaves and I sit there, trying to focus on the lesson.

The man comes back and says "You've got ten seconds. Hurry up." and I quickly thank him and rush off, searching for a bathroom. For some reason there aren't any 'male/female' signs on the doors, and when I figure that out, I go in and discover there are no stalls. More than one toilet, but no stalls. I find some people in them and, startled and embarassed, rush out.

I find a room with a single toilet and take care of business. I ended up leaving the room and trying to find my way back to the classroom, but before I could, I woke up.

First dream of last night -

My family and I were at Denny's and I was showing off a couple of Apps for my iPod. I showed one about food to my Mom, who was supremely skinny. She said the sushi looked good and pulled a pair of chopsticks out of somewhere and reached into the picture and pulled out some of the sushi. I realized this wasn't possible and thought "Oh my god, I'm dreaming!" The ensuing excitement woke me up.

Second dream of last night -

first it started up a third person p.o.v and I was looking at song lyrics for a new Rasputina cd. They talked about this house, it was haunted and bad things had happened there. Then it was like I was watching videos of the stuff that had happened. there were a lot of turtles involved. and breaking lightbulbs.

A couple of other people and myself went to the place. When we got there we were told a bit about stuff that had happened.

In the dream I was a character I role-play. Some others and myself - four including me - went to the creepy house. We walked around first - it seemed like a hotel of sorts. Then I spotted a light flickering on and off like a signal. We went and found a secret passageway with cramped stairs going up, and we came to a place that looked like a jungle. There were wooden walkways and we followed them. To our right was a wide river and a walkway leading up to it and to the front of us was another river. We went to the river in front of us.

In the middle of the river was a big light that gave off heat, at one point making water shoot up into the air. I didn't want to go in at first, but one of the boys in our group went into the water and said it was fine, so we all went in, myself last.

I was looking around and there were these glass display cabinets with runes in them. They had the English translation of them, and at one point they told my (character's) beginning/ horrible thing that happened that made them the way they are. I turned to the other girl in the group and said to her "You want to know about me? Here." and waded away, annoyed.

There were now shelves on either side of the river holding beads and clay. I didn't really touch them but other people did. I saw a miniature clay loom and piano. We were starting to see more people, and it turned into a supermarket type setting, but there was still water around my legs. I got separated from my group and started looking for them. I saw a little girl, also lost, and for some reason it really made me sad, seeing this lone little girl. At this same time I heard "Playboy Mommy" by Tori Amos play over the speaker in the grocery store.

At that point I woke up because my Mom was calling me. I still had "Playboy Mommy" playing in my head.

Part of this is understandable - I can even pick out stuff that happened from the day before. My Grandparents took me to Denny's for dinner, I listened to 'Playboy Mommy' the day before, and of course I was looking at iPod apps. Some I'm not sure.
