a teahouse inside my head.

I was talking with people in my grade about driving to school (our brand new privilege). I went to sign out on the sign out sheet (which was in some type of garden, sitting in bright green dewy grass). Then I was in the hallway of the church my school rents rooms from for english and history classes, but the hallway looked like one of the classrooms. Gabe and Max R. (I don't want to put the full name, but since there are two Max R.'s, so I know in the future, NOT CURLY HAIRED YOYO MAX) and other boys were talking about some gross driver's ed movie (the kind they use to make you scared of accidents) called "Concrete" (which is funny because the real one we watch in California is called Red Asphalt). Gabe insists that it is actually called "Santa".

Tiny bit of precog (it's a little bit of a stretch) but we talked about asphalt in history class today.

No dreams from friday night on account of the fact that I don't even remember what I did while I was awake friday night.

Last night I remember three not-so-detailed dreams
1: I was adopting a neopet from someone, but the pet was two socks that had been made out of seaweed. When I was adopting the pet the water conditions were not right (read: pH and temperature) so the pet didn't evolve correctly, but I happened to like the messed up one better.

2: I was going to some event in downtown LA and so I was staying in a hotel there. I was really excited because then I could go to Little Tokyo and get yummy japanese food. There were a bunch of details about my excursions that I remembered, but then I fell back asleep and couldn't remember them.

3: I was talking to this girl on a facebook inbox. We usually recommend indie music to each other. She sent me a message saying "You should check out Taylor Swift and Eminem". It was weird because that is the opposite of the music we usually send, + obviously, being a teenager, I know who they are already.

Dream 1
I was at my friend Jacob's house and we were talking about some TV show and he said he hadn't seen the new episode yet because his TV was stolen. I looked over and there was a stand for a flat screen TV but no TV. He told me that he left his window a crack open and they got in that way. Then I freaked out and went home because sometimes I do that. I got home and closed the window, and then looked out the window for a moment. (I live in an apartment building and my bedroom window looks out onto the balconies of another apartment building) I looked at one balcony that had the actors that play Serena and Eric on gossip girl and waved at them (Or it could have been the characters, I'm not sure because I only waved at them) and then I looked at the other balcony and just stood there staring at the people on it for a while.

Dream 2
Kind of a fragment, I made some kind of study guide for my english final with my friend Maxx. There was some kind of panic over it either going missing, messing up the information, or just the test itself. I don't remember.

This was one of those dreams were I felt like I was just watching a movie or something. I wasn't IN the dream.

There were these twins at a party who collapsed because of intense leg pain. One of the twins was obsessed with girls, the other with video games. It turned out that they had been in an accident or had some kind of disease which they knew at some point would cause their leg muscles to atrophy. Someone called 911. It cut to them being at home with their parents (they were either in their late teens or adults that still lived with their parents). The doctor was also there and told them they would experience bouts of extreme pain for the rest of their lives and they would have to go to a care facility. It then jumped to their parents asking questions that they would use to choose the perfect facility for them. Every time they asked a question it would turn to the kind of screen you would see when making a decision or talking to someone in the Animal Crossing game series (at least the DS version) and the background of the menu was a pale yellow. One of the questions was whether they wanted to stay local (and it then zoomed in on a section of land that seemed to be around where they lived. it looked to me like the area near palm springs, CA) or go international (those were the two options). One of the twins wanted to stay nearby and the "game" chose a place for them right away. The other twin wanted to go to Japan. The screen then turned to a google maps type thing with the same pale yellow menu. It zoomed in on an area in Japan and I remember seeing labels for individual businesses (for example, there was a little pink fish with the name of a fish market next to it, etc). Then I woke up.

Then today in History class this article we were reading used atrophying muscles as a metaphor for something we were learning about.

I have found that school+dream journaling is very difficult. I've been writing down things I remember with ease but not working extremely hard at it due to a simple lack of time. I only have a few weeks of school left though, and I thought I would get started now with getting back into dreaming.

The other day I remembered a fragment. This boy I like, who likes me back.... let's call him Daniel, was talking to me about college. He said, "I think I'm just going to go to art school. That's all you need to be a plastics engineer anyways."
This is funny for three reasons. 1) He's really into math and science and computers, so he would never go to art school. 2) Art school is NOT all you need to be a plastics engineer. 3) Here's the big kicker.... he's incredibly anti-plastic (as am I, in fact that is why we know each other).

Last night I was at a party and my friend had calea z. I smoked some and I think it had an effect on my dreams, although they aren't as substantial as I am used to, just substantially better than the past few weeks. I am actually thinking of buying some myself. Anyways...

Dream 1: I was at the party from last night, and someone rang the doorbell. I went to answer it and two eighth graders from my school walked in. I turned towards the back yard and made a really confused face. Then they looked at each other with a look that seemed to mean "I thought this would be a bigger party".

Dream 2: I was at this after school volunteering thing I do with my friend Jacob. We were doing something with a maze. This girl I'll call "A" who also does the program walked in and said "Not feeling it" and left. *This one was a lot more detailed but it's so foggy that I can't put it into words, but I can picture "scenes" from it

Dream 3: I was at the grocery store with my dad and I snuck off to buy some stuff by myself. I got a few thrift store dresses (from the grocery store? whaaa?) and a couple of cans of red bull. The cashiers were 60 year old women who looked at each dress, commented on how they loved it, and made me try it on over my clothes. The pile of dresses seemed never ending.

Dream 4: (First, real life background. I was supposed to visit Daniel in a few weeks (he lives kind of far away) but he wasn't going to be in town for the dates I was going for, so I'm not going anymore) Our mutual friend called me and said "You have to come the day after you were planning on leaving before. Daniel is having dinner with President Obama and we need four more teens and we want you to come!" These dates would have been during my finals, and so I tried to find a way to reschedule my tests. (Sorry if this makes no sense but this is heavily based off of true plans that are already confusing so it's hard to explain them)

The first and fourth dream from last night felt like they were real. I woke up thinking they had happened.
