Mydera

I battled with insomnia again last night, so I didn't take notes. The result is I can remember a few dream scenes, I just don't know if they all take place in the same dreams or different ones, lol.

Dream Fragment One: I'm flying with Kurasawa who has wings (that's a first, lol) It only lasts a few moments though because my husband and daughter came to bed and it woke me up. I felt like I was falling back into bed before I actually woke up though, and my heart was racing like a tiny fish flopping around in my chest. It was not a comfy awakening, and spurred the insomnia for the rest of the night.

Dream Two: My BFF and her husband come over (they live states away, so this should have been a big reality check) because they're having car trouble and I need my cars AC fixed. We decide we're going to a nearby mechanics shop to get our work done together. My kids don't want to go though, so dream me decide they can stay home alone if they're good (WTF?! They're 2 and 5, noooo way is that a good idea!) We get to the mechanic shop and run into trouble because my BFF is from a different state so they want her ID to accept her credit card, only she's forgotten it. I tell them not to worry about it, I'll cover all their repairs. She asks me if I need to move money over to cover the costs first, but I assure her I have enough in the bank and it's all good. Then I get a bad feeling about my kids, and realize it was really stupid of me to leave them alone! So I hope back in my car and drive home. At home, the kids are being great and are safe and sound. Then I see a commercial about learning to weave hammocks on tv and my husband says he didn't know hammocks were woven. The lady doing the commercial was an older lady in a big weird straw style hat with all kinds of ribbons and fake birds and random crap glued on top, lol.

Dream Fragment Three: I'm walking through down town of this little country town I live in. Apparently there's going to be some sort of biker rally or something and my BFF wants me to go. It seems more like a community event than something you'd associate with Biker Gangs or anything. It's like a bunch of dads and grandpas and mom and grandmas on bikes, not a bunch of violence hungry punks, lol. I'm carrying a green box with a packed lunch. Someone stops me and asks me what's in the box. I tell them it's my lunch. They inform me that there are concessions, and I thank them and tell them I didn't know that's why I packed a lunch. Then they get all uppity with me, "Well take that lunch back. You can buy our concessions." when I don't take it back to my car, he gets pushier, "What's wrong? Afraid we poisoned our food? Take the lunch back or get lost!" I tell him I'm supposed to meet someone here and I can't take the lunch back because I'm already running late. Then I hug the lunch box (which strangely looks like a lego variety box, lol) to my chest and start running. I see my BFF sitting on a set of steps next to a water fountain with a bunch of other girls. They're all in fairly immodest clothes (short skirts and tube tops and spaghetti straps) which is weird for my bff b/c she's such an old lady about how much skin is showing. We start talking, and I tell her about the guy who was trying to make me take my lunch back. She laughs and says not to worry about it, it's not a big deal, I can eat my packed lunch and the others will buy enough concessions to cover my share too. Then I realize I forgot my camera, and she offers to go back and get it with me.

Dream Fragment Four: My BFF and her husband, me and a male behind me (whom I am 99% positive just by the way he had an energy abut him and how that energy felt) was Kurasawa. My Bff and her husband went in first, then I was about to go through the door into the hotel room and my BFF's husband put his arm in the door frame blocking me. He said I couldn't come in, and called me a monster Then Kurasawa says that I'm tired, and I need to rest and recharge. My bff's husband refuses, and Kurasawa stops being nice, and just says we're coming in whether he likes it or not., the pushes through. My BFF's husband then says fine, but we're not allowed to sleep on the bed because he doesn't want monsters on the furniture he has to use. He says if I'm tired I can sleep outside on the balcony. Kurasawa balls his hands up into fists, and I think he might have been about to hit the guy, but I reach out and put my hand on his arm and tell him it's ok, we can leave and stay somewhere else. He goes from ready to fight to completely concerned in half a second, a total instant shift in attitude. He tried to tell me I need to rest, but I don't listen, instead I walk out the door and apologize for causing trouble.

Dream Fragment Five: I'm running downhill, following behind a cop and a guy on a bike. The cop is driving a car, and the guy on the bike is holding onto the police cruiser letting it pull him through the street. They're not going very fast, and something happens and the two have to stop, but I just keep running ahead. I see a bridge, and on this wooden bridge there is a rabbit hutch. There's a fluffy white mommy rabbit and a couple of bigger baby rabbits in the hutch, then there are some TINY bunny babies that have squeeze through the hutch's wires. One hops across the bridge and into a horse pasture below. I'm afraid the horses will trample it, so I jump into the pasture to rescue it. However, the painted horses below aren't happy with this, and start to attack me. (By painted horses, I mean the ones with white black and brown cow like spots!) The horses are rearing and kicking, and I'm not even sure how I was avoiding getting hit as I scrambled back to the fence against the bridge. The cop and guy on the bike have caught up with me now, and they reach through the fence and pull me up and over it to the bridge. I try to tell the cop he needs to rescue the baby bunny, but he doesn't care at all about baby bunnies. He tells me two other babies were trampled earlier and that he's already cited the rabbits owner with animal abuse for having an improper cage, but there's nothing else he can do and if I go back in that pasture I'll be trespassing on private property and he'll have to take me to jail.

These entries always turn out so much longer than I expect them too, lol. I feel like I don't remember much from my dreams at all compared to usual when I do it this way, but apparently I remember more than I realize.

Dream One (Fragment): All I can remember of this was images of my favorite pokemon, Dragonair.

Dream Two: I'm leaning back against the back of a truck as though I don't want to be seen and I'm sneaking around. I look to my right, and I see Altair leaning against an SUV a few feet from me. I realize he needs a distraction to get away, and what ever reason I'm hiding for isn't really that important. I motion to myself, then to a turret I can see nearby to let him know I'm going to go over there and make a distraction. I slip quietly between the vehicles, then start to walk towards the turret. When I get several feet from the vehicles so they're not immediately suspect as being where I came from, I holler out really loudly and run towards the turret, arms flailing in the air. When I reach the turret which seems to be made of regular modern bricks (odd, lol) I start to climb it by using the uneven bricks as hand and foot holds. Only get about six feet up before out of all the people commenting how crazy I must be, I hear a girls voice saying, "I can not believe she's doing that, doesn't she have any respect for her own life and how dangerous that is? It's sickening how people who want to live are dying from illness and people who are perfectly healthy would throw that away by pulling stupid stunts that could get them killed!" I jump down, because I recognize the girl as one of my neighborhoods kids. I go over to her and ask her what she's talking about, and she tells me the oldest kid in the neighborhood has lung cancer or something and how he's going to die, and here I am practically throwing my life away in front of them all. I don't even bother to go into how I'm pretty sure I won't die, instead I tell her it's hard to feel sorry for him when He's been smoking since I moved in a few years ago. It's common knowledge now that smoking leads to cancer, and obviously he didn't care then. In my mind I see no difference, because like I would know climbing a tower could kill me, he also knew smoking a cigarette could kill him. Just because it took longer for the cigarette's poison to sink in doesn't make him less guilty of throwing his life away. I wake up, kind of mad, lol.

Dream Three: Took a while to fall back asleep, damn insomnia, but I managed. This time I'm at the beach in a shop looking at over priced shirts. I leave and come back, and suddenly the shirts are all only a dollar but they're very picked through so I can't find what I like in my size. I leave, and am in a car with my Grandma and my son now. Usually I drive, but in the dream Grandma is driving. It starts raining so we pull over. I open my door to get out of the car, and I hear someone yell out, "It's coming!" suddenly the rain turns into sheets of water and hail and the wind is blowing like crazy! I can't pull the door closed, so it's pelting me with all of this, then the car starts to lean to the side like it's about to flip over! I put my leg out to push the car back down, and it works, then I get the door closed. It rains so hard I can't see for a moment longer, then it stops and I realize we're not in the parking lot anymore, but in the road and my grandma has bee driving through the rain we can't see in. I fuss at her telling her she could have driver into a ditch or off a cliff or run over someone or something! She tells me, "I had to get us out of there so we wouldn't die!" I try to explain she could have killed us easier than the storm could have, but she won't listen. Then she nearly runs over a girl on a bike. I start screaming, Stop Grandma! Stop! and she doesn't stop! The little girl luckily jumps out of her way, then she nearly runs over a man carrying his baby! He luckily gets out of the way too but I'm screaming at the top of my lungs, STOP THE DAMN CAR GRANDMA!!! RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!! She stops, and gets mad at me for cursing, but I tell her I tried to tell her to stop nicely, and she didnt and nearly ran over a little girl, a man, and his baby! She says she never did any such thing, but I refuse to let her drive anymore! I take the wheel, and call my mom who I think is at the beach with us. She's alive, but she's broke her ankle in the storm and needs us to take her to the hospital. I go to pick her up, and the sirens blare warning us there's another storm coming. My son turns into my brother, only child sized, and we dive under a couch trying to hide from the hail and debris. I use my phone to try to see the weather, but my dad calls while the page is trying load to tell us about the bad weather -_- I wake up.

Dream Four: I walk out onto the front porch, and I see something sheer and iridescent green wrapped around the porch swing. On close inspection it's a snake skin... then I see movement, and it's a second green snake shedding it's skin near this first skin! I jump back kind of surprised, but I know green snakes aren't dangerous and have held them before so I'm not terrified like of copperheads that can kill you It sheds it's skin, then slithers to a nearby basin of water. My grandma comes out side, and I tell her that I just watched the snake shed it's skin, and she tells me that that green snake has been soaking in the water and shedding her skins all day. Apparently the first skin belongs to the same snake. Then I watch the snake rise out of the water, shake like a dog, then slither up the wall to the roof of the house and then slither along the roof to the other side of the house. I hear my kid scream in the back yard when he sees the snake, and he comes running towards me crying and terrified. I wake up before he gets to me.

Dream Five: There's a present on a grey plastic fold out table. I go to look at it, and some guy tells me that's for mike (who ever Mike is, lol) I ask him what book it is because it looks like a book. He tells me it's called something like, "I am Flannagan" or something. Then someone asks if some guy didn't write a book with a similar titles, then the first guy says yeah, he's giving a copy of that book to Mike for his birthday. Everyone starts laughing, I think that this mike guy doesn't like the author of that book so this is like a gag gift to piss him off. I notice a cake on the table too, don't remember it being there in the beginning. Then the door opens and this mike guy walks in. He's got really long brown curly hair and a full bear so he kind of looks like a modern cave man, but he's smiling and I get the impression that he's one of those genuinely nice guys who just likes to have fun and make the people around him happy. There's a little girl with him (now that I look back, probably the same girl from the dream the night before) He picks her up, and he's so big she looks tiny in his arms even though she's close to my own height. He lets her blow out the candles for him then goes to open his gift. Unfortunately I wake up too soon to find out what his reaction was I bet it would have been funny!

I wasn't going to deal with insomnia last night, I was too tired and too cranky. So I had a drink before bed, and as a result my dreams were pretty scrambled when I woke up this morning (er, afternoon, because I slept so well I slept in an hour and a half longer than usual, lol)

Dream One (Fragment): I'm on a boat (and now that songs going to be stuck in my head, ha ha. ) it's not a tiny one, but it's not a big boat either. It's about the size of a larger boat you'd find on a river, or a smaller boat you'd find in the ocean. Like personal boat size (not cargo sized, lol) and I'm moving things around on the boat. For some reason I think that this is my job.

Dream Two (Fragment) : I'm in a wagon, being pulled by horses! I'm in the back, and it's uncovered. The driver is a chic with long brown hair. There's a guy with short blond hair in the back with me. Something is chasing us, actually it looks like a bunch of somethings, lol. We decide we have to jump to safety, and let whatever keep chasing an empty wagon. I'm scared to jump at first, but then I see some Bandanas in the wagon and decide I can tie them together to make a little parachute to slow my descent so I'm not injured. I tell the guy, and he thinks this is a really good idea. He takes the bandanas, and ties them for me, then hands them to me and tells me to jump first. He says if there's enough distance between us and the enemy that I need to run back to the wagon and give him the bandana so he can jump, but if the enemy catches up to the wagon I am to stay in the woods. I nod, and notice the wagon is closer to the woods now than before, the girl is giving me the best possible chance of making it to a place I won't be seen or can hide. I take a deep breath and jump, I float for a few long seconds, then land perfectly. I turn around and see the wagon, but the enemy has stopped chasing it, so I run to catch up and give the guy the bandana so he can jump. The wagon slows down just as I realize I will never be able to run fast enough to catch up to it, then it stops completely. I grab the back of it and drag myself in. I realize when I'm in the wagon that the guy is gone! I ask the girl driving the wagon, and she clucks on the horses and we start taking off really fast again. She tells me that he knew I wouldn't let him jump out to go stop our pursuers, so he came up with this elaborate plan for me to jump then run back to the wagon to give him the bandana so I wouldn't be on the wagon to see him jump off and run to face the enemy, but he knew I'd end up either in the woods hiding safely or on the wagon getting the heck out of there while he held them off. I'm pretty distraught over this, I tell the girl we need to go back to get him, but she says no, we're already too far an almost to our destination and he wouldn't want us to go back and put ourselves in danger. Then we're coming up to this giant log wall with a log gate. The gate opens and the girl drives the wagon through the gate. Inside, there are a lot of people and even non human Star Wars style aliens. The wagon is going slow now, so I jump off again, but when I try to go back I realize the gate is closed and I can't get back out to go help the guy. I turn around, very disappointed and start back for the wagon, but it didn't go the direction I thought it had. I think I'm lost, but then a wagon (not sure that it's the same one) pulls up to my left and instead of the brown haired girl it's my BFF. She offers me her hand and helps pull me to the drivers seat of the wagon with her rather than leaving me in the back like cargo as the other girl had done. She starts telling me as the wagon weaves through the city that we're ready to try to sign up again. I have a vague memory of trying to enlist in some sort of small army or something, but her not having something necessary so us both not signing up b/c I wanted her with me. I ask her if she has what she had forgotten last time, and she does. I'm really happy with her answer, I'm excited to join whatever cause we're signing up for, together. She stops the wagon, and we walk over to this little white fold up table with two people in casual clothes sitting behind it. There's already a guy with dark hair singing up, but one of the ladies behind the table asks if she can help us. She looks younger than me, maybe even still a teenager. Ambies tells her we want to enlist, and then she asks for something and Ambies gives her a bunch of papers. The woman/girl takes the papers and starts flipping through them. Then she says she's not sure what kind of job Ambies qualifies for, but that they have a spot reserved for me because I'm highly qualified for this fight. I shake my head and tell her no, I want to fight with my best friend or not at all. She kind of twists her face like she's trying to figure out how in the heck she can manage that, then the second woman at the desk says, "They're both short, We could put them on to help us with the faeries." The girl isn't sure how to do that, so the woman tells her to take Ambies to see someone and they'll arrange it. Then the woman hangs a sign from the table saying they're out for lunch before walking back to me and saying, "It's been a while? How have you been?" I suddenly recognize her as my teacher, but I don't in waking life recognize her at all, lol. We start waking towards a window, and I'm telling her how it's going ok, I just feel really stressed out lately. She nods and tells me that it's hard sometimes to juggle a normal life, but that she knows I can do it. Then, looking out the window I see a white truck drive on a lawn, the driver throws four yellow daffodils out the window in anger, and speeds off. The flowers look so sad broken and scattered on the ground with a white ribbon streaming in the wind where it can't quite be blown free from the weight of the three flowers on top of it. The woman tells me that the man is unhappy, she says that she told him she wasn't interested in him romantically, and he was so upset over it that he left our cause. She says more that I can't exactly remember, but the lesson I took away from it was that we should follow what we believe in, and not fight for a cause just because someone close to us is. I figured this had something to do with me not wanting to join without Ambies, and that if I really believed in the cause I shouldn't need my best friend to back me up. If I only do it for her, then if she leaves or we have an argument, then I'm likely to end up like the man who left because my teacher didn't share his romantic interests. The teacher asks me what my jobs were right now, and the dream fades with me watching out the window thinking of logs and how they must have cut them to build the fort. I apparently ignored her question, lol.

Dream Three: This one is really confusing to me and very broken up so I'm apologizing in advanced for how confusing it is. It starts out I'm walking through a hallway with a mane and a woman and a little girl. The little girl seems to be around ten or so, and has light blond hair like my daughters. I don't think she's my daughter though, and she seemed really quiet and distant, like she was depressed and in her own little world or something. We pass by a little alcove like area, and there's a car wrecked inside the building. There's someone inside the car dying, and a man trying desperately to get the woman out. The woman I'm with says she can save the woman with a spell. Her and the man I'm with tell the other man that he needs to take the little girl somewhere and let her show him the things the woman needs for the spell. In reality, it's a ploy to get the man away from the car so the woman can work her magic without someone else's energies interfering. The man I was with walks outside with the other man and the girl and me. The other guy and the little girl get in a car an start to drive away. Then the man I am with says he forgot to tell them to park in the right pattern so they don't accidentally park in the energy field when they return. The he's pretty sure the little girl will tell him so it's ok. Then, (this is where the dream gets uber confusing) the guy takes my hand and starts to walk me out of the parking lot and down the street. The dream shifts completely. The busy street in front of the hotel becomes a quiet back street in a quiet little town. It's no longer dark, but now bright and sunny. I look at the guy, and realize he is Kurasawa, but I fail to become lucid at this revelation because he's talking to me. He's telling me that he's some sort of caretaker. He says it's his job to cut the grass, tend the flowers, deal with trees that fall down around the city. Then he tells me that another lesser known part of his job is to help the elderly in the area. I think he says these elderly people are council members or something. He tells me this is how me met someone, the old woman who introduced him to this whole world? He says she needed something fixed and he was sent to fix it. He gestures to a house on a hill above the road with little steps and flowers on it. He looks really happy, and at peace here, like this is his second home kind of thing. Then he smiles at me and takes both my hands and says it's time to go back. When we turn and start walking again, it does goes from day to night in the blink of an eye, and the quiet road becomes the busy road in front of the hotel. I can see lights on the hotel's facade, and I know everything is the way we left it, only the woman is done with her ritual and the man's car is back so he and the little girl must be back. We walk into the hotel, and then just like that Kurasawa is no longer at my side. I'm with someone, but I think it's my BFF, and she's on my other side not the one Kurasawa had been on. I don't notice it being odd though. She's asking me about unpacking from my trip, but I tell her we're still at the con I'll unpack later. I see people wandering around in costume as if I'm really still at Animazement. I see a guy that I kept seeing during the con, it's not that he was in costume or anything, I just felt an over whelming energy sometimes and would turn to see where it was coming from and there he'd be. This happens on occasion with people, it's not negative or anything... it's just the seem to hold a lot more energy naturally than others. Any who, I don't feel the energy from him, so I know it's not the same person, and then I think to myself that I'm hungry. I tell my BFF that I'm going to get breakfast. I wander off on my own to one of the concession areas at the con. I ask the girl for cookies and bacon, but she tells me they're all out of bacon and gives me almonds instead. Then someone asks for strawberry cheerios, and she tells them all they have left to sell is almonds, everything else was sold out. I had bought the last cookies, lol. I turn to find a table, and see someone left a half eaten bowl of cheerios in pink milk on a table. I think those must be the strawberry cheerios, I've never heard of them before but I guess they make your milk strawberry milk. Then I wake up.

I slept so hard last night, probably because I didn't sleep much at all the night before, lol.

Dreams One and Two (fragments): I'm playing the pokemon trading card game.

Yup, that's it for my dreams... Yesterday I took my son to a local card shop to play Pokemon cards and it left me more than a bit anxious. I've discussed how it bugs me that I can't find the ones from when I was a kid to give my kid, and apparently I had a lot more fun that I initially thought helping the little kids because I just can't wait to go back. I will definitely get a nap later, because I only slept a couple hours last night! ha ha

I had a hard time sleeping last night, so I didn't take notes whenever I woke up, rather than move and spend another two hours trying to fall back to sleep, I tried to lay as still as possible so that it's only take a half hour or so to fall back asleep. I did jot down the notes I could think of when I woke up, but by then most of the details had left me.

Spoiler for Music:

Dream One: I'm glowsticking in the street again. (We live on the end of a street in one of those round turn arounds, so we never get any traffic except our close neighbors) I've got yellow glow sticks this time, and I'm alone. My husband walks up and tell me I need to stop so he can show me something. I think I'm semi lucid at this point because I stop, and I get this feeling that makes me very excited and happy. I'm thinking he's going to take me to Kurasawa because that's what I usually ask dcs to do, but then instead he takes me where our yard would be... but our house isn't there, all that's there is the ten we camped in at the beach a couple weeks ago. Inside, the lap top is set up and my husband is trying to show me something on the lap top. I'm only halfway paying attention, it's a video about glow sticking, but it's not a tutorial it's just some chic swinging her stick and I'm quickly growing bored and want to go back outside so I can do it myself. I feel my attention being pulled to outside, I just know Kurasawa is out there now. I rush out of the ten and a few steps towards the road, then I stop. Kurasawa is there, and he's glow sticking?! He's only spinning them forwards at his sides, but the circles are so even and his speed doesn't vary at all. I think, damn, he looks like he knows what he's doing... not just playing around like I am. Then He smiles at me with a mischievous smile, and I think he asks, "Miss me?" But them I woke up >.<

Dream Two: I'm again on the road, this time after spending a good two hours trying to relax and fall back asleep from waking up the first time. My husband is there and we're walking. For some reason though, I think I become semi-lucid. I realize I can just leave my husband standing there on the road and it won't matter. I walk up to this strange house that I've never seen and is far too upscale for this little redneck "housing" development that has more trailers than houses. I knock on the door, and realize that I can open the door and it won't have any repercussions. I also realize that I need to visualize the inside of the house as I open the door, and what kind of person I want to find there. I imagine a guy who looks like Johnny Depp in the movie Sleepy Hollow being there when I open the door. For some reason though I'm scared someone in the house will see, so I slowly open the door, when I see the sleepy hollow guy walk by, I call out to him, and he comes to the door. He quickly but gracefully slides out the door and closes it without making a sound. He takes my hand and starts walking me towards the street. I tell him we can't go too close to the street because my husband is there. He starts pulling me closer to the woods then. We stop at the tree line, and he looks around for a moment as if to be sure no one's around, then he cups my face with one hand and wraps the other around my waist. He pulls me closer and kisses me lightly as he holds me, and says something about how he cherishes these stolen moments. I wake up, lol.

Dream Three: I'm on a swing set, swinging with my kids. I'm at a strange house that I don't recognize though. A couple of guys, one with a lot of piercings, walk out of the house. They start talking to me, and I think they're related to my husband somehow. I ask them, and they tell me that they're not related, just share the same last name or something. Then they tell me I need to go inside and check out what they made. I walk inside, and my mom is at the kitchen table and there's a Christmas tree on the table made of green jello?! My mom claims the guys who just left showed her how to make it. Then she starts talking about what a pain in the ass it was to carve in all the little pine needle details. For some reason I think the thing needs to have more pine needle details and less "snow" because the snow makes it look weird.

Dream Four: I'm in some sort of Classroom, then I leave and come back. When I come back, there are people arriving dressed in cosplay. There's one girl who's actually got four pony legs and feet instead of her normal arms and legs. I marvel over her cosplay for a moment, and think I've seen her before with shorter "legs" and ask her about it. She tells me that yeah she's put them on stilts to look more life sized. I see a box on the floor nearby, it's a box with the Disney movie Tangled's princess on the front (Rapunzel). For some reason I run over and grab it and try to open it. Then a guy comes up behind me and says, "Hey! That was my box!" then he sees I tried to open it and starts crying. I'm not sure what to do about a full grown man crying, then he cries, "That was my birthday present! I was supposed to open it, not you!" I appologize and make some weak excuse that I thought it was a classroom puzzel and didn't realize it was his, then I ask him if I could tape it back closed would that make him happy again? He says yes, so I start looking for tape, and he starts crying again, "There's no tape! You can't tape it back together!" I tell him there has to be tape we are in a classroom after all, and all classrooms have tape! Then I see some on the teachers desk and tape the box back and give it to him. Then I walk to where I think my seat is, and notice everyone is opening their text book. The textbook has Black Butler on the cover! I start looking for the page, number 835, but my book only goes up to 350, then I flip back through the book looking for a page that looks like the page everyone else is on, and I find it, but book 835 is out of order and in the 250s. The teacher starts talking about Japan and I realize this is a Japanese class. Our first lesson is on Desu, and when the teacher says desU, I point out that "Don't they say Des? isn't the U silent?" and she tells me she doesn't know where I heard that but it's not the case! And she goes on talking about japan with a horrible southern woman drawl... not the sweet kind you'd hear in a movie like gone with the wind, but like the catty and snobby white and trashy woman kind. I think to myself that there is no WAY I need to learn to speak Japanese from this woman, it'll only get me laughed at if I ever actually have to speak it! But then I realize that I can ignore the way she says shit, and just learn the meanings of the words so I could read Japanese manga and not have to wait for someone to translate them. Then I wake up.

Dream Five (Fragment): I dreamed that my best friend went to her sisters house and washed her hair, then posted the video on face book. I was watching the video in the dream, so it's hard to remember exactly what was being said and done. I just remember her sister being uncharacteristically happy about having her wash her hair, and her normally straight dark hair looked lighter, curly, and frizzy. Oh, and they used the sink, so no one was naked lol

Dream One (Fragment): I'm sitting "Indian style" on the ground and I have pink glow sticks in my hands. I'm just fiddling with them, giving my eyes something to focus on while I'm listening. Vesta is walking circles around me, and we're talking. I'm telling him about what's going on in my life right now, and apologizing for not calling him lately. He doesn't seem angry though, I'm not even sure if he's capable of being angry, lol. I can't remember what he said back to me though, it was mostly an emotional unloading for me.

Dream Two: I dream that we're going to the beach again (my husband, kids, and me) but we decide to stop at a zoo on the way. When we pull in, it's obvious this isn't your typical zoo. The parking lot is small and made of dirt. There are two white tigers by the zoo entrance. Instead of having black stripes though, one has sky blue stripes and the other has cotton candy pink stripes. They're real, not statues, and when we park they slowly make their way towards us. They sniff me as I get out of the car, and I tell the kids to stay in the car until I've checked out if this place is safe or not. It scares me to think they let these tigers run loose because even though they may mean well, I've heard that tigers can think your playing with them and accidentally injure or kill you because they don't realize how much weaker than them people are. I walk to the gate to talk to proprietor, and I am assured that the zoo is safe and that the tigers wouldn't hurt me... they're just guarding the place. This seems like a contradiction, guards would hurt intruders... how do they know where not intruders? I start to go back to the car to tell my husband and kids that we should leave, but they're already out of the car walking up a wooden ramp into a side entrance in the zoo with my bff and her husband. I start to follow them, and there's a beeping sound at my side. I reach for it, and it's a pokewalker (the little things that come with Pokemon heart gold and soul silver that are like pedometers) It's beeping to alert me that there are hidden places in this zoo that I need to find to earn some sort of prize in game. I decide that since my family is already inside, I might as well go in also. A map appears on the pokewalker screen to lead me to the first point, but then I have to find the others on my own. The paths through this zoo are made of wood planks and some are even enclosed. The animals aren't in cages that I can see, they're just roaming free. What keeps the visitors separate from the animals is that the walkways are all up high. I remember seeing some rhinos, elephants, and giraffes in a field from one walkway. I also found a pond at one point full of giant goldfish. I think these are Goldeens (the pokemon) but then my rational brain kicks in for a minute and I realize that pokemon aren't real... so they must be regular goldfish or koi (that was such a missed reality check!) Then I pass a couple who are standing over a wooden door like what you might see leading to a cellar. The guy is telling his girl friend that through that door, under ground, is where the zoo is breeding it's snakes. He says something about how it was too dangerous for the snakes to be frozen and shipped here, so the zoo started breeding it's own. I walk back into an enclosed walk way wanting to put distance between me and the snakes, and I wake up.

Dream Three: I wake up in a hammock, in a little two room house (not two bedrooms, but the bedroom is one room, then a kitchen/livingroom combo is the other room) I walk out onto the porch, and my uncle is walking up the steps. He's telling me good morning and saying that he came up for a visit. He says he arrived late last night and all my lights were off so rather than wake me up, he slept in the car. I express that I'm worried about him because it's dangerous outside. I tell him that some sort of animal has been breaking into the yard lately ripping apart my kids toys and digging holes. (true story actually... must bother me more than I thought if I'm dreaming about it) He asks me what sort of animal it is, and says he never saw anything while he was sleeping. I tell him that the rest of the family thinks it's a wolf (we are actually thinking it's the neighbors dog) but that I was wondering if it could be a fox. Then I talk about how I feel really bad for the foxes around because people are hunting them and I don't want them to die out then go on to tell him about Kitsune supposedly granting households their protection in legends. I'm pretty sure the dream the night before influenced this one, but I'm not sure why I dreamed of Kitsune then because I haven't read any manga or watched any anime with them in it in months. None the less, something has sparked them to appear in my dreams. Suddenly my uncle becomes my dad, and he's telling me that if I want to protect the foxes, I need to do something about the hunters hunting them. He leads me down the road, where I see this hut with tv cameras and such set up. A big hefty redneck man is walking into the hut carrying a couple dead rabbits over one shoulder, and three dead foxes over another. I learn that there is a reality TV show where hunters are competing to see who can kill the most animals and get the most points. Foxes are apparently the highest points, so the hunters are mostly going after them. My father asks them to stop hunting the foxes, and they tell him the show makes too much money to quit and they won't do it unless he can find them another profitable venture. My father tells me and the men to follow him, and he leads us through some woods into a field. The field looks like a normal grassy yard that hasn't been cut in a week or two, except that everything is HUGE, as if we've been shrunk (Like in the movie "Honey I Shrunk the Kids") There are some yellow flowers that remind me of tulips but they are shallower and have orange centers that fade to yellow and lots of little brown spots. My dad is saying that these giant flowers look similar to tiger lillies, but they're not. Still he says, they are very unique and the man could make a huge profit from them. The hunter man says that we can hold a competition to see what makes more money, our giant flowers or his hunting show, and if we win they will stop hunting foxes. I start to walk to another giant flower, they're so pretty and I'm shocked I've never seen them before if they're so close to home. I hear a sound at my feet and look down to see a copperhead at the base of the flower, I jump back as it lashes out. I barely miss getting bit and I run back to the tv station to escape. When I go inside the tv station, I end up inside a room with another girl who is sitting alone in the only chair in the room. She's really cute, and she has her bleach blond curly hair in pigtails as if she's trying to appear younger. She's offering me my prenatal vitamins, but I look at her and she is so skinny and I can just tell that she needs it more than me. I tell her no thanks, she needs the vitamin more than I do, she looks like she's about to cry and starts talking about how she's pregnant and how she doesn't want to be, apparently she thinks starving herself to death is going to solve her problem :/ I get down on my knees, and I hug her and tell her it'll be ok, having kids is actually a lot of fun and she'll feel differently when the baby is born. She's got to just barely be preggo though because her stomach looks normal. She starts crying more but smiling at the same time, and I lay my head in her lap for some reason, but it seems to help her relax. She' petting my hair and I realize that we're inside the tv station and they may be watching us. I remember that my dad doesn't have a clue that I get crushes on chics too, so if he's watching I'm going to get yelled at. Then suddenly I remember the foxes. I have to win. I look around and all the doors are gone. All I can see is a door above my head set into the ceiling. I can't reach the door, but I have an idea. I ask the girl if I can stand in her lap to reach the door so we can rescue the foxes. She nods, and i try to carefully stand on her knees, avoiding her body and belly, and reach up. I pull a cord hanging from the door, and the door falls open. Plushie rabbits with big empty hole like black eyes start falling through the door filling up the room. I can hear the redneck hunter man yell out, he's angry because I've somehow beaten him by opening this door. I wake up.

Dream Four (fragment): I'm with two other girls. There's some sort of giant eyeball like monster with thick dark purple tentacles (anime fans, I SWEAR it's not THAT kind of dream, lmao) The girls have to defeat this monster, but they want me to help. They tell me I have the power, I just have to use it. Then the transform into animal like creatures. I can't remember what the one turns into, but the other one turns into a pokemon ( https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...xmhPjzBPfQ3JQJ ) and I feel like I'm glowing a whiteish blue, and then I feel myself falling forwards. Then I realize that I've transformed as well. I can see my feet are hooves, and I swish my head and feel like there's something on my head cutting through the wind. I'm a blue white unicorn! We charge after this eyeball creature, and I try to spear it with my horn, but I can't see to aim it and keep missing. I realize I need to practice before I can use my horn successfully in battle, and I should try something that I can see when I'm attacking with it. So I rear back and kick out my hooves and start trampling and kicking this monster while the pokemon chic tears into it with her teeth.

Dream Five (HI?): I'm in a car about to be hit by a bus, I realize I'm dreaming and wake up just before it hits.

Dream Six: I'm hanging out at Dominos, chatting with my old co workers while they work. My best friend's sister is there, and somehow she's now the manager. I'm talking about how much things have changed since I worked there six years ago. Ali (my bff's sister's nick name) asks me if I will come back and help because they're really busy. I say sure, I miss working there. I go back to find a shirt and hat, but I can't find them. I ask her where the hats are and she tells me that they must have run out and she's going to have to order some. I wonder if guys with long hair would have to wear hats only or pull their hair back in a pony tail under their hat like us girls, this causes me to wake up.

Dream One (Fragment): I'm in a room with a lot of tables and a bunch of guys that I can only call modern geek. Video Game tee's and hats and pins galore, my kind of people, lol. We're getting ready to play some sort of game. It reminds me of Warcraft in the way that there are little figurines that represent monsters. But, it we're pretending like the monsters are attacking us. At one point in the game I am on top of a table and the others are piling all these little zombie figures at my feet as though the figurines are attacking me and the guys are repeating over and over again, "Many! Many! Many!" as in there are many zombies all over the place.

Dream Two (Fragment): I'm spending the night with my kids at the church I attended when I was a kid. (I'm not actually Christian... I follow my own path that veers more to the pagan side though I at times attend church with my husband and kids) I recognize some of the people who are probably dead by now as I haven't been to that church in nearly twenty years and they were getting pretty old when I was a kid. At one point I went upstairs into the sanctuary and saw candles, then went back downstairs to the fellowship hall where there were other kids besides just mine.

Dream Three: I'm with a guy with long flowing white hair, he reminds me of how Kitsune are depicted in Manga and Anime.

We're in a big building that looks like a hotel or ritzy apartment complex. He's giving me a tour of the place, showing me the pool and amenities. He goes on to tell me all about how much money he spent on building this place. There are also two guys in black suits and sunglasses nearby, standing behind us like body guards or something. He pulls me close to him and tells me that it's all for me. Then, there's an explosion behind us, and another beside us and another in front. The building is blowing up around us, but because we're at the pool on the outside we're not in the path of the bombs or debris. Though everything is falling and burning around us. The guy smiles wickedly, and pulls me through the burning frame work of the building and out to a fancy car. He tells me to hop in and we'll go home, but I don't want to go. I'm worried about the people who might be living in the building. He tells me that if I can find him he'll tell me if the building was occupied or not, then drives off in his fancy red car. I start walking in the direction that the car drove off in, just to find that all the blocks around the big building are in poor repair and have no lights on or anything. I realize they have no power and the money spent on the opulent complex I had just been next to would have been better spent fixing these building and helping the people who livid in them. I see another big opulent building, and go inside. The Kitsune like man is in there, and he's lounging on a couch. There's a woman in a business suit nearby (the kind with a skirt not pants). She's got short hair and reminds me of the woman in the Dinosaur dream a couple days back. She's laughing with a cruel smile when she sees me walk in. She says something about how I won't enjoy the complex now that he's torn it down, and she feels sorry for me having something so pretty just to have the gift torn apart by the giver. The Man gets up and walks off before I can even say anything to him, as if he doesn't even care that I've found him and he promised to give me answers. The woman calls out to me and I stop following him to see what she wants. She tells me that He's going to fix the place back up for me and it will be just like it was before he blew it up. He's had his fun, and now he really does want me to have it. I start to run off towards the guy now, I want to tell him not to fix it, to fix the other buildings around it instead, but I see him in his fancy red car speeding off. I also hear the woman behind me talking on the phone, she's telling who I can only assume to be him that he needs to fix the complex if he really loves me, because that's what a good boyfriend would do. I don't bother to correct her and tell her I'd never have feelings for someone who would do all these crazy things, I just run towards the building hoping to catch him before he fixes it. I reach the building only to find that I'm too late, the place is fixed now. I find that my dad is moving into the building, and the kitsune man says something that leaves me thinking he's moving all my family in and if I don't do what he wants he'll blow them all up with the building.

Dream Four: I'm at an anime convention with my BFF. I'm not wearing any costumes or anything, just carrying my usual over sized purse with anime pins on it. Someone asks me if I can stop and let them take a picture of my bag because it's so awesome. I say sure, and they take a picture. My BFF and i go back to our hotel, and turn the TV on. The news is playing and their showing the picture of me holding my bag on the news and talking about the convention and it's lack of properly dressed people. I realize that somehow in the picture my shirt's gotten pulled up and my belly is showing. I'm relieved to see none of my stretch marks are showing, and I really don't look too bad in the picture at all. I look skinnier than I normally do! But then the news anchors go on to talk about how fat people are showing their bellies at the convention like in this photo... and I'm looking at my photo thinking I don't even look fat in that picture! I go back to the convention to complain, but everyone at the convention is throwing things at me and yelling that I ruined the cons image by being so fat and showing my fat belly on camera for the news crews. I wake up, feeling really negative about myself, and I'm really not fat. I'm in the healthy BMI range for my height and weight. :/

Dream Five (fragment): First I'm looking at a park thinking about how I could change it in buy mode in the Sims and give it a different theme. The current these is space and aliens but I want to make it an under the sea theme instead. Then I'm at a picnic by a pool in the park, but we're having to pack up and leave in a hurry for some reason.

Dream Six: I'm in the car driving somewhere, when I see something in the road and swerve to miss it. It looks like a red mixing bowl, and I think it's one of ours and wonder how it got in the road. I tell myself it someone else's that just looks like ours, then I pass a red pot and I KNOW it's ours. I Pull over and find all these dishes that are our with food in the on the side of the road. I wonder why it's all there, and my mom who was apparently in the car with me tells me that they're the food from the picnic. She had handed the food to my husband and he was supposed to put it in the car. My husband pulls up in his car behind us and asks whats wrong. I confront him about the food and he says he must have set it on top of the car and forgotten about it. I start trying to gather all the dishes, and I find a watermelon and there are big bugs crawling in it so I throw it back down and scream EWWWWW! Then I find a chocolate cake, and my husband swears it's still good because it's in a plastic container. I don't trust it, but he opens it to prove there are no bugs inside. Then He grabs the watermelon. I tell him it's got bugs in it, but he doesn't believe me. We argue over it, then a bug crawls on his finger and he drops it. It smashes when it hits the pavement and bugs that are like 6 inches long come crawling out of it, yuck yuck yuck! Then we all get back in the cars, and my mom is telling me that at the picnic everyone figured out a way to cheat the system and win the lottery and they're going to split the pot evenly. She wants me to join in, but I refuse because I tell her it's dishonest and I don't want any part in cheating anyone out of anything.


Most of my dreams last night were on the unhappy and stressful side. Probably because I finally took some NyQuil for my cold because I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able sleep at all without it.

Posting these today for yesterday since the Dream Journal system wasn't working

Dream One (Fragment): I was dressed up in a pony costume :/ No clue where or why though

Dream Two: I'm on the beach at night looking up at a sheer cliff. There are about ten women hanging on the cliff so that their backs are against the cliff. They seem to be suspended somehow by their upper arms or chest and all are wearing dark but flowing dresses. One woman with long curly black hair is talking, "We are the mermaids of this isle. We will rescue our friends from the depths of this ocean, and protect them from drowning. However if you should cross us we will not hesitate to drag you to those very depths and drown you. Murder is not beneath us if you threaten our harmony." Then the women kick their legs out and the dresses become tails as lightning crackles, then turn back into dresses when the darkness returns. They leap one by one off the cliff and land safely on the ground. The one who spoke motions to me and says this time, "Come." She leads me up a gentle slope cut into the cliff, and then we're entering some sort of house on the cliff. I see a bed, and a man who has fallen half out of the bed. There's a girl there who reminds me of Fluttershy for some reason and she's holding a green bottle of what I can only assume is medicine. I rush over to the man to help him back up into bed. The fluttershy girl seems very stressed and unsure of what to do, and she's wringing her hands as she paces from side to side saying something like, "Oh I just don't know what to do for him! He's been so very sick, and he just fell out of bed and bumped his head on the night stand. Do you think he's going to be alright? I can't even get him to take this medicine." I tell her to calm down, for some reason I fell like I know this guy and he's been waiting on me. Now that I am here he will be ok. I sit on the floor, and pull his body up into my lap. He groans weakly in his sleep, and I run my hand across his head shushing him and hoping to offer some comfort. I hear a door open nearby, and look in that direction, a younger girl walks out, she seems to be in her mid to late teens. She looks at me and scowls then says something. I can't remember what it was, but the dream continues that now I know that I'm in trouble of angering the mermaids because they've fallen in love with this man and they want me here to nurse him back to health, but they're afraid he'll fall in love with me and not one of them. The rest of the dream is kind of a blur. I get him back in the bed, I am washing my hand when someone interrupts me and my hands are covered in slimy pink soap but I can't rinse it off because they've pulled me away from the sink. The head mermaid is furious because all of the mermaids are fighting over this man, but she can't kill him because she's in love with him too and she isn't sure who to punish or how for disturbing their peace.

Dream Three (Fragment): I'm hanging out with Tom Cruise in an apartment that he claims is his. We're talking about our kids, and then he starts showing off all the hard work he did in remodeling the apartment. I am flabbergasted to hear that he did all the work himself and tell him that celebrities should have enough money to hire someone else to do the remodeling for them. He tells me that He likes to do it himself because he feels accomplished in it and he knows it's done right. Real celebrities probably don't humble themselves this way, but the dream left me feeling like maybe they're not the stuck up and bad people the seem like on tv and in magazines. Maybe some of theme are like the rest of us, hard workers who take pride in what the can accomplish themselves.

Dream Four (Fragment): I find my pokemon cards from when I was a kid. I'm so sad because the binder they're in is tattered and dirty. I can't even find my favorite cards! This dream woke me up for the day because as silly as it sounds, it's something that stressed me out so bad. I am so sure I never got rid of my pokemon cards from my childhood because they were such a big part of my life for a couple years. I may have gotten rid of all the common cards, but I for sure kept the foil cards! Only, now I can't find them anywhere and I worry that they were thrown away and I just don't remember. The dream made me anxious to look for them again to make sure they're ok and I couldn't fall back asleep I would so love to find those cards now that my kids are into Pokemon cards. They would love to see them.
