Mydera

I thought the night was going to be a bust for dreams as I went to sleep at 2, and woke at 8:30 with not a single dream to recount. But it was raining so Terminix canceled our 11:30 appointment and I got to sleep in after all

Dream One: I need gas, so I pull into a gas station, but all the pumps were pulled out except for one. The one pump that was there had no card reader. So I went inside the gas station and told the attendant (a pleasantly plump middle aged woman with frizzy curly grey hair) that I needed to pay with credit but the car reader was missing from the gas station. The woman told me they were renovating the place and could only accept their own gas cards as a credit payment. I tell her it's actually a debit card, so she's welcome to scan it as Debit I just won't get my visa extras points. The woman then starts telling me that if I don't use my gas card it will ruin my credit. I tell her I don't have a gas card, and she threatens me again saying that if I don't apply for one she will personally ruin my credit. I storm out, pissed off, but pretty sure she can't ruin my credit because I refuse to apply for her gas card.

Dream Two: I'm walking around Sam's club with my husband and I see these really cute Disney bowls for kids. They're shaped like Mickey mouse heads, and have princess and mouse designs in the center of the faces and ears with crowns and characters around the borders. I decide To buy some for the kids to eat their popcorn in when we watch Disney movies. I end up loading like 5 or 6 in the buggy, but for some reason most of them are the different princesses for my daughter and there's only one mickey design for my son. I feel bad about this, but as they only have one boy design I think I'll buy him something else to make up for it. I get a phone call from my grandma that Terminix has shown up, so I go around the next aisle and suddenly I'm in my kitchen. The bug man hands my husband a bill, and my husband goes off saying it's supposed to be cheaper than that because he's an annual member of some program through his work that makes all deliveries and driving fees of services in the south east free. He calls it a "stomping fee" and says we should have free stomping fees through this membership he supposedly has.

Dream Three (Fragment):I'm watching some tv show in the living room, and my kids are there with me as is the little kid next door we babysit after school. The kid next door says, "this crap is weird!" I pay attention to the show wandering whats so weird about it. On the screen a little cartoon tanuki like the one in Inu Boku SS:


(yes, I'm hot linking so that picture may not work, lol)

Is praying to "the Great Goddess, Mother, and Lady Saint" to help him protect the forest where he and his fellow animal friends live. I love the show immediately and tell the neighbors kid that this is the kind of stuff I wish my kids would watch more of! That we don't see much that can even remotely be considered pagan programing here in the bible belt, and this is about as pagan as you can get. The kid then asks me what Pagan is, and I go into some long explanation about how pagans are nature loving people who worship multiple gods goddesses and spirits instead of just one god, then go on about how it was once the most popular religion around the world. Looking back, it was probably mostly a bunch of bs because I'm really not that knowledgeable about it, I just generalize, ha ha.

Dream Four: I'm in the basement, and the neighborhood kids show up. One of them is looking around the basement which in this dream has lots of glass shelves with Anime Figurines on them (this must be my husbands dream basement, lol ) The kid is asking me about them and I'm trying to tell him what each figure is and what show they're from. I end up giving the neighbors kids a tour of our anime collection and trying to show them how cool it can be, while trying to skip past all the not so kid friendly stuff that is in our collection.

Dream Five (fragment): I'm dropping my kids off at the elementary school I went to so they can start school and it looks exactly the same. (That building was torn down 13 years ago, lol) I go into the girls bathroom, and marvel at how it hasn't changed a bit. The stalls are still falling apart and it's still pretty beat up looking.

Dream Six: I'm in a shiny black car, I think it was a Cadillac. There is a man in a black suit driving, and a woman in a black suit with a pony tail in the passenger seat. I'm in the back. We pull up to a grey square building that's very plain and government looking. The woman gets out, she has to go inside to get something. I'm sure in the dream that I am friends with these two people, and I trust them, and apparently they trust me because this is a top secret area or something. I'm looking out the window and I see a boy with blond hair and a girl with long dark brown hair walking towards the building. They look like teenagers, and I notice they're carrying books like they're on their way to class or something. The girl stops, and turns to look right at me. I feel like ice runs down my body, all scared and panicked that I was seen. The girl rushes over to the car and knocks on the window I'm sitting at. The guy in the drivers seat rolls the window down and tells her to get on to class. She says she will, she just wanted to introduce herself to the new student and make her feel welcome. I try to tell her I'm not a student, I'm way too old for school, and she tells me that's nonsense, she could tell as soon as she felt me nearby that I was to be a student here. I try to tell her I'm not even supposed to be here, so it'd be best if she just ignored whatever she was feeling and went to class. She tells me again that it's nonsense, that if I wouldn't be here if I wasn't supposed to be because the security here is too tight to let just anyone in. The woman comes out of the building and tells the girl she will be late if she doesn't go inside now, then climbs into the car and rolls the window up. I ask the woman and man in the car what that was all about, saying I'm 25, there's no way I'd be going to class with those kids. The lady says nothing, but looks at the man and he looks back in the mirror and tells me to "just ignore it, those kids are weird." Then the car is moving and we're pulling away from the building. There's mountains and a lake in the back ground, and I see a few tall pine trees as well. We're trying to go through the big concrete main gate but are stopped on the way out. I either wake up here, or I skip to another dream, I didn't take notes last night so I can't be sure and will treat it as waking up

Dream Seven: I'm in the woods with a group of people ranging from teenagers to adults about my age, hiking maybe. I feel like I'm on the older end of the spectrum at 25, but there are people who definitely look older than me. There's a woman with me, she looks about 22, and she's dressed in all black. She has red orange hair braided down her back, and a face that reminds me of a young Angelina Jolie with smaller lips, lol. She's dressed in all black, leggings and long sleeved shirt, with a bulky belt holstering a gun and sword and a couple pouches around her waist. She seems to be my protector or body guard, and I call her Pandora. There's a sound like wind, and then these people in black robes are attacking us. One girl in particular has blond and curly hair like Dakota fanning in that Twilight movie (don't ask which one, I haven't seen it so I don't know, I just remember the ads) is trying to attack me. She has a sword and is lunging at me. Pandora blocks the attack, and tells me to run. I don't want to run because I don't want to leave all the other people at the mercy of these robed figures, but Pandora tells me that it's me they are after and if I run I can draw them away from the others. I tear through the woods as fast as I can and come across an old barn. I run past what looks like empty rabbit hutches and into the barn. The blond girl is right behind me, and I have no sword to fight her with. She swings at me wildly, and I keep stumbling around managing somehow to dodge her attacks. Then she slices into my left arm, and it HURTS, but it's not deep as she only just barely caught me with the swords tip. I think to myself I can cast a sword spell, and try it but it back fires and doesn't work, instead the other girl tells me that If I'm going to use magic so will she, and she summons her own swords spell that causes swords to fall from the sky. I see a round piece of metal laying nearby, and decide to use it as a shield. I imagine it acting as the Hyland shield from Zelda, and tuck up under it to keep the swords from hitting me, and it becomes the shield. I peek out from under the shield when everything goes quiet, and I see the swords have stopped falling but the girl is standing over me with her sword held high about to hit me as hard as she can. I shove the shield towards her as hard as I can and slam her with it. She staggers back a bit, and I proceed to keep trying to bash her with the shield until I'm able to knock her down unconscious with blood dripping from her mouth as though I've knocked some teeth lose. I'm exhausted and barely standing, but I teeter out of the barn and am greeted by Pandora running up the hill. She steadies me, and asks me if I'm ok, apologizing for taking so long to get there as she was being held back by the other attackers. I tell her I'm ok, and that I was able to bash the blond with a shield but that she was unconscious, probably not dead and may get up to fight us again. Pandora tells me to relax, that I'm safe now, and that the others were ok as well. I can see the group climbing up the hill through the woods at a slow pace. A blue bird lands on one of the empty rabbit hutches and tweets. Pandora tells me that "everything will be fine now, that is a Blue Bird of Happiness, and a sign that the fight is over." I wake up.

Dream Fragment (???): Not sure where this one fell in the night, but as I was getting my cheerios this morning I remembered having a dream that my kids wanted me to read the books from the Cheerios Box to them (they're giving out books in the cheerio boxes right now, or were when I bought them last week, lol) I go to the bookshelf to get them, but when I pull on the books, they rip in half! I'm so upset because I bought double the cereal I normally do so I could get my kids one of each book since they thought it was so awesome their cereal was coming with a book!
