Krista's Dream Journal

Dream - Lucid - AP

I was dating my coworker, Dakota, who is gay in waking life. I was also still dating Ryan as well. In the dream, I thought it was weird that Dakota and I were dating, because he's gay. I remember us kissing in the dream. I kept thinking about how weird it was that we were dating and he was gay. I felt like I must be a cover-up or something, though he is out of the closet in waking life.

I then remember getting ready to go to prom. Ryan and Dakota were going with me. One of them picked me up from somewhere, but I had to go back to my house to get ready. It was nighttime. I told them I wasn't going to dress too fancy, and it wouldn't take me too long to get ready. They parked in front of my house, and as I was entering through the front door, I saw a shiny red sports car in the driveway, with two ghetto-looking black men sitting in it. A little black boy with crazy hair got out, and started to approach the house. I knew what he was going to do: He was going to try to tell my family that his dog was lost, and try to exploit money out of them somehow. I knew he saw me go inside, so he knew someone was home. I entered the house and I remember hearing my brother say that no one should answer the door if the bell rang. The little boy rang the doorbell continuously for awhile, and my mom finally answered the door. As I went up the stairs, I was wondering why she did that, because she was going to get exploited.

I started getting ready for prom. I looked in my closet, and saw some very beautiful dresses that I didn't really remember having. My mind came up with why I had them, however. They were dresses that I had bought for a different prom or event, but ended up not going to. My actual prom dress from high school was in there as well. I ended up picking out this beautiful, strapless black and white dress. It was floor length. I put it on, and went to my dresser and started looking for some jewelery to wear with it. I found a pair of earrings that were dangley and sparkley. I thought they would look perfect with the necklace I wanted to wear. I put them on, but they looked funny. They looked almost like they were made out of hemp. I took them off.

Then, we were at prom. There were two dance rooms: One that was for calmer dancing, and one that was like a nightclub. The calm one was in a gymnasium, and all the lights were on, and the music was pretty calm too. It was to the left. To the right was the nightclub. It was dark with lights flashing and dance music pumping. I went into the calm one for a little bit.

I came out, and realized that I hadn't bought any tickets to this prom. There was a table of middle-aged people, parents I suppose, taking tickets. They were in between the two dance rooms. They didn't seem to notice that we hadn't given them any tickets. Everyone who had tickets had blue wristbands on. Ryan, Dakota and I did not have the bands. I started to talk to Ryan about this, saying that we needed to be careful, or we'd get kicked out.

Then, the music stopped, and people started to clear both of the dance rooms. I saw the calm one clearing out, well, calmly. I thought they were taking a break or something. I then saw some cheerleaders in there practicing some routine. The coach was there as well. I looked at my phone: It was only 5:45pm. Wow, they stopped early, I thought. I wondered why they had stopped. I think it was because someone was in there that wasn't supposed to be (us maybe?). I remember then being with Ryan and Dakota in the lobby by the ticket takers.

I was seeing some cartoon of these owls. They were in a castle. They were also different colors, like purple and blue. One smaller one, a child, was telling the king and another owl that he wanted to get taken seriously, and for him not to call him some name anymore. The king said something, can't remember what, but his eyes were all teared up. Then, when the view went back to him, his feathers were all fuzzed out. He commented on this.

Then, I remember the child talking to another child as they left the area where the king was. The other child told him that he didn't think that the king would listen to his requests to stop calling him whatever he was calling him. The child that talked to the king commented on the king's teary eyes, something about how he looked sad.
