non-lucid

I dreamed that I was at work. I wasn't doing my usual job, I was helping out in another department as I have done for the last two weeks. I put down the frame that I am inspecting and my tools, then turn around and start walking towards the door. As I walk through the plant towards the door, it gradually changes into a night forest and my coworkers begin to follow me, transforming into beautiful ladies around my age maybe as young as early twenties, all dressed in toga like dresses with a rope tied at the waist. My own clothes also change to this outfit. We stop at the edge of the forest, and a beautiful woman appears facing us. She stands taller than all the rest of us by a foot or two, but it doesn't seem odd to us. It just gives a physical representation to the power we can feel radiating from her. She names herself as Athena, and tells us that she has called us there to choose two of us as her champions. She chooses a beautiful blond girl and myself, and promises us that if we are victorious in the coming battle then we will win what we want the most. The trees on the edge of the forest grow together and form a large black wall with a white door. The blonde girl opens the door, we we both walk through. The room is the size of a tennis court with black walls and floor, with a thick white line cutting the room in half. On the other side, two more women walk through another door followed by another goddess who's name I can not remember. Athena follows us in, and declares to the other goddess that we are her champions, and the other goddess announces that the fight will be three rounds to the death. I definitely don't want to fight to the death, however two curved knives that reminded me a great deal of bolines appeared in the hands of all four of us champions. The girl directly across the line from me leaps towards me with her knives out. I fall back, scramble and dodge and try to argue my way out of the fight. I didn't agree to fight to the death, I don't want to do this! The girl leaps in again and I throw my own hands and knives forwards to block her attack, but end up cutting her hand off as well. The hand's momentum doesn't stop though it drops the knife, and the hand ends up grazing my arm as it keeps moving in my direction, smearing blood and fleshy pink gore on me. I jump back as the handless woman screams out in anger and pain, and look to the other champion of Athena. She's used the moment of distraction to take out her opponent, then looks to me and yells to finish her. I start stuttering that I don't want to kill anyone, but Athena reminds me in an eerily calm and motherly way that this is a fight to the death, it's her or me, and I am not doing her any favors by prolonging the battle and the pain. Realizing I have no way out and that she's right that a quick death would be far better than a slow and painful fight, I accept this fate and glide quickly and gracefully the ten feet between me and the staggering handless girl, and I slice her head clean off with both my blades. Then the other goddess calls out two more champions. I start to argue that she can't do that, we've already defeated her champions, but she reminds us that we have only won one round, we have to win three rounds to claim a victory. Once again, the blonde quickly jumps into the fight with her new opponent. My opponent is a quiet girl who looks a good deal like a stereotypical library chic who would do better with a book in her hands than knives. She is hesitant and I can tell she is scared, but I also know there is nothing I can do, it's her or me. I leap forwards like my first opponent had, catching the girl completely off guard and try to cut her head off for an instant painless death as well. I fail, and only manage to cut half way through her neck. Her face contorts in surprise and pain, and I curse under my breath as she starts stumbling backwards and farther away from me. I leap in again, this time finishing the job. I catch her body in one arm and her head in the other, and gently lower her to the ground and apologize to her corpse for not making it a clean death the first time. The third round goes much better, the girl is aggressive like the first, and I am able to simply hold my knives out as she leaps towards me and use her own momentum to decapitate her as she attacks. then the other goddess calls out another set of champions and I advance towards the other goddess with my knives defiantly telling her NO. She said three rounds, we have won three rounds, this stops NOW. Athena walks up to me, and smiles in a motherly way and nods gently to me saying, "Yes child, you are right. We said three rounds, and you have preformed exceptionally. Whatever it is you want, is yours." Then I wake up.

Can't remember much now that I have worked all day and am about to go to bed again, so I am going to type in my senseless dream notes and try to fill in anywhere I can remember.

Dream One - Argument with Mom, hardware store, bad parking, re-park elsewhere, dude comes out with computer, game returned he didn't ask for, print outs are gorgeous, Snake and mouse. I can remember speaking to some guy at the end of this dream, and he just made me feel like he was cornering me or something. The moment I drew the analogy in my mind of him making me feel like a mouse trapped by a snake, I saw the very image of a snake attacking a mouse and woke up.

Dream Two - I am playing a game of some wort where I am playing as the bird adviser from the lion king, flying through rings that make a path through the sky and even down into the ocean. It must be some sort of Kinect or motion control games because when I struggle flying through the water I start waving my hands wildly and reaching out as far as I can and that helps me move through the water. After I come up out of the water I am suddenly an inkling from Splatoon and shooting easter themed bad guys shaped like robot bunnies and robot baby chics.

Yuuup, that's all I have. One dream that I have notes for that I can't even remember now and one dream that I can remember that was just plain weird o.O I figure this will be closer to my normal since I only get about 6-7 hours of sleep on work days.

Dream One - I am at work, but I am not at my usual station. Instead of inspecting furniture at the end of the line, I am at the front of the production line where the insiders do the seats and arms of the furniture. I push a chair all the way up the line and to the shipping belt. The lady on the belt at the time, D, tells me that chair is going to be sold at an employee only auction for $45. I think about what a great deal that is since it usually costs around $300 to buy the same chair in stores. She pushes it to another section of the floor where there are many other chairs of the same style but with different fabric, all marked up for sale at $45. I go back to the station in the front of the line where insiders usually are, and this time I have a wooden headboard foot board combination set at the station. I look at the travel ticket on it and it is also going to the employee auction. it's really pretty light wood, and has old country style sunflowers painted on it. (I have the dream note "Pictures for mom" here, but can't remember what that meant now that I have been awake for a few hours) I really like this bed, so I walk over to my boyfriend's station and ask him to come look at it. If it costs less than $200 I want to buy it to replace the bed we have in our room right now. before he makes it over to look, I wake up.

Dream Two - I dream that my boyfriend and I are walking into an orphanage to look into adopting. The place has an old Victorian exterior, but seems really empty and almost unlived in on the inside. we do see plates of food on the table, but no people. we step out the front door, and then hear some woman screaming, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" and I instantly feel terrible for the kids there, sure she must be yelling at one of them. I turn around to look back inside, knowing now it can't be empty. A small boy, maybe 3 years old is hiding in a bush under the window and peeks out at me. Before I can say anything to him, my attention is drawn behind me. Jay and Silent Bob are standing against the fence asking me if I want to buy any weed. I tell them no, and then reprimand them for selling weed at an orphanage. Jay angrily throws money at us and shouts, "Vacuum it up bitches!" and I wake up.

Dream Three - I am walking into a castle, holding hands with Cinderella. She's so excited to be bringing me home now that we are married. I feel a mix of excitement over being a princess as well as sadness that I married a princess and not my boyfriend. Cinderella takes me into my new room. The room is decorated in mostly blue and shears, with big fluffy covers that nearly swallow you when you plop into bed. There's a giant window on the right side of the room, and I walk over to it. Cinderella excitedly tells me that she was so excited for me to notice that window. It looks down into another bedroom. She tells me that she arranged that room for my boyfriend, and that prince Charming's room is connected to hers similarly. Just because we are married doesn't mean we have to part from our beloved boyfriends. I instantly feel much better about the whole situation. I don't mind being married to a girl, and definitely don't mind being married to a beautiful and well off princess! We walk out of the castle to view the gardens. The sun has gone down and the moon is up high in the sky, casting a beautiful pale glow on everything. I notice a shadow moving to our right and go to investigate. It's a heartless from Kingdom Hearts, only it's tiny, about the size of a Rabbit. At first I think it's adorable and bend down to pet it, but Cinderella screams and I remember that the heartless are actually bad guys and could steal our hearts! We run back inside the castle. Cinderella gets ahead of me and I am stumbling through the castle looking for her. I go through a dark empty ball room, and then find myself in the kitchen. Cinderella is in the dinning room looking out a giant window. I think she looks so pretty, even in danger like we are. I wake up.

Dream Four - I am in a blimp with my boy friend. Through one of the windows we see a giant Charizard coming towards the blimp, it's claws extended and it's mouth open wide. Suddenly I am simply an observer, and I watch as Ash, Misty, and Brock fall from the giant hole ripped in the blimp. Ash shouts out to Pikachu to use thunderbolt, and the to Moltres and Zapdos to use fly to save everyone. On the ground, Brock sees a nasty puddle of something on the ground. He shouts to Ash and Misty that there's a strange energy in the puddle. They walk over to him, and a stray fireball from the Charizard in the air hits the puddle evaporating it into a stinky cloud instantly. Under the puddle was a magic silver Magikarp statue, to which Ash has the mate. They are excited to have both statues and jump in the air, putting the statues together at the same time and causing a bright light that wakes me up.

Dream Five - We've bought a Frozen themed Easy Bake Oven for my 8 year old son. It has a moving cylinder on it that you can use to change the "theme" and look of the oven just by spinning the dial. My son wants to make brownies, and has already mixed up the mixture, but he needs help pouring the batter. The oven's instructions call for some crazy brownie methods, pouring the batter into four cupcake papers and then trying to fit them all in a square pan. I think it'd be way easier to just pour the batter in the pan and cut it later, but then decide it might not cook right, there must be some reason they want it done in cupcake papers. I pour the first three just fine, and then when I go to pour the fourth I find myself adding legos to the cupcake paper before I pour the batter. I stop myself in mid pour and think that it isn't right, I shouldn't be adding legos to the brownies, that's not right! Then I wake up.

Dream One - I'm at a concert inside of a mall waiting on my ex husband to bring my kids to me. There's loud music, lots of people really close together, and fog machines making everything look hazy. I'm trying to look around for them, but the crowd is so thick I can't see through it and have to start walking around the outside perimeter hoping to catch a glimpse of them when they get there. I walk around a group of six or seven people and see my kids and their dad behind them. I walk up and say hey, and apologize for not being able to see them through the crowd, I hope they didn't wait long. My ex husband leaves, and I show my kids some sort of meter that I have in my hand that I got from hot topic. It's linked to the concert somehow, that whenever you attend the concerts with this meter it gets you free merchandise credit. I have two more meters in my pocket, one for each kid. We talk about all the cool pokemon and pony merch they have and start planning what we want to spend our concert attendance points on as we walk out of the large concert room and into the main mall. The mall is bigger than any mall I have ever seen, and I've been to a pretty big one in DC when I was a kid. As we are walking through we see lots of stores already closed up for the night. We go down an escalator, and there's another escalator across from it. Music starts playing, and a slightly heavier than average woman in a sexy tight red dress starts dancing through the mall. She's wearing some sort of paper mache TV mask that makes her look like she has an old TV from the sixties for a head. She's singing as she dances about how much she loves shopping and how wonderful the mall stores are. We hurry towards the exit of the mall and I wake up.

Dream Two - I'm heading out to my car in a big parking lot outside of a medium sized building. I think it might be a school or college that I am leaving, perhaps some sort of educational convention. There's a lady and a dude who are waiting on rides and I offer to take them home so they don't have to wait. Both accept my offer, and my car is parked in one of the first few parking spaces so we don't walk far. I decide to take the T tops off and ride them home in style. I get in the car, and the man gets in the passengers seat and I start driving off. I realize the lady got distracted and didn't get in the car when I hear her yelling at me to wait while she chases down the car. Unfortunately I had just pulled onto the main road when she was close enough to hear. I try to stop and put the car in reverse as there is nothing coming, but as soon as I start backing up the car a bunch of other cars start coming up the hill behind us and honking their horns at me for driving like an idiot. I ignore them and back right back into the parking lot anyways. The lady is no longer there. I drive a circle back through the parking lot looking for her, and finally find her back at the front of the building waiting on her ride. I try to apologize, but she's not mad at all. She thanks me for forgetting her, and tells me that by staying there a little longer a great opportunity opened up for her. She doesn't elaborate on what the opportunity is. I offer again to take her home, and she says she needs to stay there another half our or so, I can take her home only if I am willing to wait that half our. I don't want to wait, I want to get home. The man I was giving a ride home to starts talking, and while I can't remember what he said, I got really aggravated and annoyed by it. I stop the car just before I leave the parking lot and tell him to get out. he argues, and I start cursing and yelling at him until he gets out and slams the door. I drive off and wake up.

Dream Three - I am once again leaving a college, this time on foot. There's a hill very much like the one at my late Grandma W's house that I am walking up. I look at my hand and think it looks weird. I start counting my fingers, and realize I have 8 on one hand. That's not right, I count again. Once more, 8 fingers. I realize I MUST be dreaming! I try to concentrate once more on my hands, now curious how I can have 8 fingers and it look almost normal. This time however, I only have the normal 5 fingers, and decide that maybe my counting is off in dreams and not so much that my hand actually had 8 fingers. At first I continue walking up the hill, then decide that I am not going to continue the path of the dream, I am going to go out looking for K instead. I turn right and head towards an older building that I recognize from a dream in the past. In the dream I am pretty sure I had seen K in that building before so it's a good place to start looking. Lucidity starts slipping but not completely. The building has different little shops in it, one of them being some sort of bass pro shops home store that I have never dreamed of before. I walk into the bass pro shop home store as it looks like the main entrance, and then go up some stairs into a little office lobby. There are different little office doors with different titles on them, one of the is the Faerie Arcane office. I knock on that door, thinking that K must have something to do with magic that we meet in dreams as we do. Lucidity is mostly gone, but I at least follow my purpose to find K. The door swings open when I knock and there are three ladies in the office. All three are middle aged, with tons of makeup and jewelry and their hair styled with tons of hair spray and gel. One is at a desk, and the other two are standing in the corners, and they are all chatting fervently. They turn and look at me, the one at the desk demanding to know what I want. I tell them I want to speak with the faerie arcane office about someone I am seeking, and they tell me they are too busy and I will have to come back tomorrow. I close the door disappointed, and start walking out of the building. I wake up.

Dream Four - My boy friend and I are working. I realize it's getting about time for our doctors appointments so I got to tell him it's time to leave. He tells me his appointment isn't until three, even though I am so sure it's at 2:30. We leave anyways. I don't remember any drive, it's like we are just suddenly there. The building looks like a grocery store building, however it has a neon purple sign on the front that says, "Mydera's" I also notice my exhusband and his new wife and their families chilling out on the roof of the building. I have a brief flash back memory of putting the "Mydera's" sign on the building in The Sims 3, then we get out of the car and walk in. We are late for my boyfriend appointment, it was in fact at 2:30 not 3:00. Also, the appointment I thought was there was with a different doctor an hour away and there's no way to make it there in time. We decide instead to go into the movie theater in the building. There are rows of sofas and love seats instead of movie chairs, and the movie screen has Splatoon on it. Everyone in the theatre is playing on the same screen, but the screen doesn't split off into individual character views, it just shows the whole stage making it impossible to tell who you are and where you are going. I get frustrated that I can't figure out which character I am or see around most of the stage and that frustration wakes me up.

Dream Five - I am at work inspecting a chair. There are two slubs on the outback of this chair. One at the top and one at the bottom. My boyfriend comes up behind me as I place red tape on the slubs and asks what I put the tape on there for. I tell him there are slubs in the fabric, then he sarcastically replies, "No, those are fine, they're supposed to be there!" I shake my head and then set down my red tape. If my boyfriend is there then it must be lunch time. He's putting huge pickle chips on a hamburger. The pickles look weird, they are all huge and lumpy. Realizing they don't look right wakes me up.

My daughter who was visiting family out of state had to go to the er last night for a sparkler burn. I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep b/c I felt just awful about being four hours away, even though she was only at the hospital for an hour and was just fine, it was just a precautionary measure on the part of my family to take her to the ER and be checked. So I took 5htp as well as a couple of Benedryl to help me sleep. Having had the dream of K a few nights ago, I also took a prenatal vitamin to help build back my dream recall. Usually I have to take the vitamins a week straight to get good recall, but I guess mixed with the medicine and the attempt to take notes the vitamin worked immediately. I also got about 10 hours of sleep thanks to the medicine, where as I am normally lucky to get 8 full hours. I also had a few almost dreams early in the night where I was awake enough to hear my boyfriend on the computer, but still seeing little movies behind my eyes. The moment I would acknowledge however that I must be falling asleep, I'd wake up fully and not even remember anything other than, "I was dreaming of splat rollers" or something equally vague. All in all though, it was far more productive a dream night than I anticipated. If I am able to keep up with my dream journal, I won't expect such good results most of the time lol.

I took a nap and had a dream. I recounted it to a friend, so I'm just going to copy paste that recount rather than retype the whole thing again

I don't remember much of the dream at first,

though later during the dream I "remember" and earlier part of the dream, so it may be a bit confusing

THe earliest I can actually remember I am sitting in a rectangular tent

THe tent seems to be in yellow with green banners

and it's a very canvas type cloth like stalls from the Renaissance festival, no surprise there because that's where I've been all day

there are wooden benches all around the edges of this tent, and people are sitting on them listening to a woman in the center

the woman is very small and graceful, and she turns as she addresses the entire tent,

so while she's talking with her hands and turning. it almost looks like she's dancing

and she's talking about the future of the craft

and how we need to be teaching our children, or it will die out. That the majority of craft members were younger folk who stumbled into it
in the dream a notebook is passed my way

and it's a planner, turned back a few months to an old month, and in the notes is written a single line asking me what I think of the womans speach

I look the direction the notebook was passed from, and sitting almost caddy corner to me is a really pretty boy with long dark hair and a thin almost feminine face

He smiles gently, he looks younger than me, but in his movements and facial expressions he looks much older

I take the pen that's in the spiral of the book, and write that I think she's right and I have heard the same from another high priestess

then I pass it back to him, and he writes back asking me who I heard it from, and passes it back, I write it I heard it from, he then changes the subject to my hands and tells me he can't help but notice how small they are, to which I start to reply, but then my attention is brought back to the lady in the center

she's talking now about how most of the council members are old and none of the newer folks can relate to them, and that we need more young council members that the newcommers can relate to

or else we'll never keep new comers in the craft and it will die out

Then the guy whos been passing the notes speaks up that he is the youngest council member, and that the second youngest council member is five years his senior, and the one after him is 10 years his senior

Then I realize that I am not helping the case for younger people being responsible enough for a council position if I'm passing notes back and forth like a child

so I close the book, pass it back to him, stand up and walk out of the tent

I start to walk up a grassy path up a hill, and I see my dad who is VERY anti craft, lol

and my younger brother, only instead of being 22 like he is now, he's 10

and they're waiting for me at the top of the hill. They ask me where I've been and I tell them, but then instead of getting angry my father tells me I need to go back so that I can learn more and find out how I can help

He tells me that while it's true I am not helping by passing notes, there are ways that I can help, and if I just stand up and walk away, that help will never be realized

SO I turn around and start to go back. I have to step over some train tracks to get back, and as I do a cloud starts to cover the sun, and it's a HUGE dark cloud, and I can see as it slowly covers the sun the shadow it casts moves over me, and then down the hill in front of me until the afternoon sun looks like evening

I look up into the sky, and it's suddenly very stormy looking, and I get a bad feeling, like something bad is going to happen. I wonder for a moment if a plane will crash from the sky or if lightening will strike the place on fire

But then I remember the tent of witches, and that in my heart I really do believe in magic and I have seen it work in the most direct indirect ways possible lol

so I decide to continue back to the tent where I am sure everyone's energies will keep everyone safe.

My father starts trying to talk me out of it though, telling me that I can just walk away like I originally planned, he didn't think it was safe to walk back in a storm

to which I tell him that my help is no less needed just because it's storming. IN fact, if things are rough, they need my help more.

and I start walking back, confident that I will be safe when I have reached the tent.... the wind blows and the scarves I'm wearing fluter out in front of me, and I look up to see people stepping out of the tent some fifty feet away... then my kids came into the room and woke me up

Finally recalled another dream. I need to get back on my vitamins and note taking regime, badly.

I dreamed that I was standing in a city square of some sort in a small town. It's really crowded, and we're looking up towards a mountain behind the city to watch fire works, but it's day light. Somehow though, we're able to see the fireworks in the daylight. Someone to my left points towards my right and away from the fireworks, and I look up. I see a flying saucer in the sky flying around the square like it's watching us and trying to get a better view of something in the square. I start making my way towards the front and the fireworks in an effort to get away from the saucer because it's freaking me out. Ambies is there, and she's more interested than scared. Suddenly everyone seems to have noticed it, and there are screams and pushes to get away, but then there are also people who are interested in it. I duck under an awning and start filming it with my cell phone. A man with long hair and a beard jumps up as the saucer dips down and somehow manages to grab a hold of it. he pulls it down, and then people start piling on top of it. It bucks and throws some people off, and even knocks some bystanders over, but ultimately it's pulled to the ground. People start ripping it apart trying to see if there are aliens inside, and I'm scared that if there are they're going to get mad and kill us all or something, but Ambies drags me forwards and tells me to come on and get a closer look because this is history in the making and I'm the only one filming. When we get closer, I can see the saucer is really only six to eight feet in diameter and maybe a foot at it's "tallest""widest" or whatever. It looks like two really BIG really shallow bowls or plates with the eating surface pressed together. The people manage to get a few layers of metal off somehow, and there are tiny little chairs and such inside that are like barbie doll sized, but no aliens. I wake up.

I don't remember much about the first part of the dream. I can remember recalling earlier dream events later in the dream, so I know at some point in the begining of the dream K was telling me some history of a bridge. The first part of the dream I can really recall thought is being in the middle of a very small town, but the town had several really old looking Japanese buildings as well as a couple of newer looking buildings. There weren't really paved roads, it was mostly gravel and dirt drives. I was running around in a dirt square playing with some young kids like I was baby sitting or something. The kids were all ten or younger and wearing Kimonos and such. We're running around picking up rocks and playing tag. K is standing by a set of double doors at a new looking building watching us but I don't pay him much mind. When it's starting to get dark, I decide to go inside the building. K follows me. The first room inside was fairly small and looked like a den or a waiting room. There was a corner couch on the left with end tables and lamps. There's a young man with longish blondish brown hair on the couch talking to a little old woman. The woman tells K and I to sit, so I do sit on the other side of the couch but K positions himself against the wall watching the double doors we came through. Beside him is another set of double doors and I see that the guy on the couch has a clear view of it, and briefly think they're in spots to keep an eye out for danger or something. The woman is talking about our clothing not fitting in, and that the village would be happy to dress us like them so we'd blend in a bit better. I'm not really paying attention, instead I'm looking around the room. I notice a gift bag and some Bath and Body works things on the end table next to me and I "remember" that we brought them as a gift to the women of the village. Then someone comes in with kimonos and such for us to put on as well, and the woman leaves so we can change. I'm not at all bothered by changing in front of K or the other guy, and the old woman didn't seem to care that she was leaving me in the room with them to get changed either. I am facing the double doors we came through when I change but that's all I remember about changing. I know I had a jacket and pulled it on over the kimono because I felt odd and awkward in such clothes, and I had a pair of black gloves on as well, with red tips or stripes or something on them. When we're changed, we go through the double doors K was standing next to, not the ones we had entered through. There was a hallyway, and on the left was a gymnasium with folding chairs set up and people sitting in the chairs listening to a woman speaking. On the right were some drink machines and a door to a game room. The game room had a pool table by the door, and we went inside there. K and the couch guy took off their jackets and laid them on a chair then started playing pool. I stand next to the door and can sorta hear the lady in the auditorium talking, but can't make out what she's saying. I want to go listen, and so as much. K tells me to be careful and leave the door open so he can see me. I walk out and leave the door open, and peek into the gym. Its a highschool girl talking now, but what she's saying doesn't really register with me. Instead I get a gut feeling to look left. I glance to the left without even thinking, and see a white man with normal clothes on and a big expensive looking watch walking towards the pool room. There are two men dressed in black behind him. The man looks right at me, and then says something about the kimono being a good try to blend in, but that my coat and gloves give me away. He motions to the pool room and tells the two guys in black "The others would be in there" then starts to slowly walk towards me. K comes walking very quickly from the pool room to put a hand on my back and lightly push me so I'll start walking along with him. The man frowns and starts to follow us, so K puts hi arm around my shoulder and pulls me closer as he starts walking faster. I make the comment that if we're supposed to pretend to be brother and sister for this cover it's never going to work if he's holding me like that. He tells me not to worry about it, that it doesn't matter right now bc it's already blown and all that matters is keeping me safe. Somehow the couch guy is keeping the guys in black and the man with the watch busy so they can't follow us, but I don't look back to see how. K rushes me to the door we entered the building through, and stands me by it and tells me not to follow him, but to run away if the guys in black or the man with the watch show up, he has to go back and help the other guy. I stand by the door, and hear some people talking outside about being late for the town meeting bc they were out hunting for food. I took it as hunting game, not like looking for a place to eat lol. I look out to see whos talking, but it's so dark I can't make it out. The K comes walking very quickly again from the hall, takes my hand, and starts pulling me outside. I follow him, and a girl comes up and follow us as well but I don't catch her name or anything. We get in a car that I "remember" putting my rocks I collected in earlier, and we drive a couple of blocks, then park the car and start to walk away. K jokes that if he'd had a sword we wouldn't have needed to leave the village, but then I tell him I think owning weapons is illegal there and a sword is a weapon. He tells me that to be honest he doesn't know much about this place, that he only knows about the bridge because he wrote a paper or something about it for class once. Then I remember I wanted my rocks, and go back to get them. Neither K nor the girl are happy that I want to go back, but they don't argue with me really. When I open the trunk of the car I find that my rocks have been cut into shapes. There's a wizard made of quarts and a rabbit made of some sort of quarts crystal or something with brown spots. I marvel at them a minute, run my fingers along the rabbits rough surface, then realize I can't carry them all b/c they're too heavy. Around this point my mom called and woke me up >.<

I'm back writing for the night before last because I happened to have a K dream and I like to keep a record of all those It's been a couple days so I don't remember as much as I did when I woke up, and there's some stuff to explain about my waking life as I go so parts of the dream will make sense.

The dream starts out with me in the house I spent my preteen and teen years in. I'm in the little entrance way (Foyer?) about to go out the front door. I notice that what should be a solid door with a stained glass window is instead the glass storm door we have at the house I currently live in. I stop myself and say, "This door shouldn't be see through.." But before I can continue that train of thought I notice there are people outside. My mom is on the porch sitting in an adirondack chair with my grandmother, and my kids are in the yard playing. However after I note them I feel that familiar tugging feeling that I need to look to the side followed by the warm and familiar feeling that I know all too well from my dreams. The first thought I have is, "This feeling that I am going to meet him soon was right. He's here!" (Now, to explain, randomly during my days I've started having that same warm and familiar feeling like K is close by, but without the tugging telling me where to look. I like to look at it as a reminder that I'm getting closer to unraveling these dreams and finding him again) So in the dream I go out the door, and as I do he turns and looks at me. I say hey, and he tells me I look familiar, and I tell him yeah he does too, and I am pretty sure we know each other even though we've never met. He asks me if I'd like to take a walk and talk, and I say yes. So we walk along the sidewalk in front of the house to my uncles property next door. There's a fancy playhouse/swing set/slide combination thing on the property, and none of the kids are playing on it, so K starts to climb up the ladder into the little club house part of it. I ask him while he climbs up what his name is, and he replies with Kale. Before I can question him any farther, I notice there's someone climbing a tree across the creek that splits the property. K asks me whats wrong because I have a funny look as I watch this person in the tree. I tell him there's someone building a tree house on my uncles property and I don't think they're supposed to be there. He offers to go an tell the guy to stop, but I say I need to ask first. I start to go ask my grandmother if that person has permission to build on my uncles lot, but then a kid kicks a ball into the creek and I run to get it, but the kid gets it first. Then I am distracted talked to the kid about the ball, then I wake up.

Lots of water dreams last night, an indication of how stressed out I am right now. Water is usually a comforting element for me, though it may not seem like it the way it's portrayed in these dreams lol.

Dream One (Fragment): I'm in a trailer that I think is supposed to belong to an aunt. It doesn't actually look like any trailer I've ever been in though. It's storming, I can see the rain and lightening in the dark outside the windows. I think that at some point me and whoever was there with me were throwing pokemon balls to have a pokemon battle or something. My aunt calls me, and at some point I leave and I see the trailer from a car window. It's daylight then, and the trailer is white with a gravel driveway and very well kept law and flower bed.

Dream Two (Fragment): I'm in a store that had a lot of wood and fancy lighting giving it a golden upscale feel. I'm looking in a glass case at a kit that you buy that will allow you to make your own cream and fruit filled chocolates.

Dream Three: I'm in a restaurant with my best friend, whom I am actually not speaking to right now in waking life. We're sitting down at a table and we've ordered our food but it's going to be a while before it will be ready. There's a girl we both sort of knew in highschool with us, as well as my kids. My kids are getting restless and I am uncomfortable so I decide to take them outside to play while we wait on the food. my best friend, Ambies, decides to come with us even though I don't want her too. I'm too nice to tell her as much though and just bear with it. Outside my kids start drawing with chalk on the sidewalk and I notice that we are at the beach. An ex boyfriend walks by heading in the restaurant, but I ignore him and am relieved he didn't seem to notice and recognize me as I am uncomfortable around him. After a bit, I decide we should go inside to see if our food is ready yet. Inside, I notice that my ex is seated at a table near ours, but am happy to see that where he's sitting my back will be to him so he can't see my face and my hair is very different from when we dated and I doubt he'd recognize me from behind. I sit down, and suddenly he's walking over to our table. He ignores me though, and instead leans over the table with arms and elbows laid out across it and he's talking to my best friend about fixing something. I feel angry because I'm being completely ignored and she's getting the attention that I excepted to get from someone I know. Not that I expected positive attention, I had been expecting him to be an ass, but I still expected some sort of reaction, not being ignored -_-

Dream Four: I am riding in a car with my husband and kids and my mother. We're at the beach, and the lighting is bad, like it's not quite dark or it's very cloudy and overcast. There's water everywhere, everything is flooded. I find it beautiful to see the water rushing over fences and streets and such. My mom is talking about how she can't get to her house because the driveway is flooded. Somehow my car becomes and SUV though and we drive through the flood to her house. Inside her house she's freaking out over needing to get her dogs out of here and to a place where she can get to them to feed them everyday. I walk into the kitchen with her and help her get her dogs out of the kitchen, then I notice a cage with a lizard in it. The lizard is hissing at me, and I notice there's a net around the cage, and a potted plant near the cage is growing up and through the net. I walk out of the room and find my husband in the living room with my mom and an animal control officer. My mom is thanking the animal control lady for helping her rescue her dogs, and then saying that my husband and I will help pay have the cost of their services. My husband agrees and goes along with it, but I'm mad because we're the ones who rescued the dogs not animal control and even if they had been the rescuers, I feel like it's moms responsibility to pay it. Then my husband hasn't got any cash and we're freaking out because we don't know how to pay our "share" that my husband agreed to when we have no money. I wake up.

Really wishing I had written some notes last night. I had a dream I didn't want to forget and was so sure 'd remember the whole thing that I didn't take notes. Now of course I don't even remember what was so great about it, lol

Dream One(Fragment): I'm somewhere that reminds me of a marsh or swamp in the idea that there's water all around and just little bits of land and a path here and there. I walk along some land path until I see a small boat. I half step half jump from bit of land into the boat. On the boat is a table. I set down at it, and then my friend J is there and he's sitting down across from me at the table. I can't remember now what we talked about, or even what happened after that. I do remember waking up feeling so happy and content. thought to myself I don't want to forget this dream... maybe I should take note? But then I though no, I couldn't possibly forget something so good. And of course I forgot >.<

Dream Two(Fragment): I am on a dusty dirt street. There's a man there in an aggressive stance. He's thin, and is wearing just a black speedo and a black cape. I'm not laughing though like I think I would have in a normal scenario, lol. Instead I am trying not to run away, but just avoid the whole thing. I walk behind a building nd I see three nail files laying on the ground. There's a big one, and two little ones. They have comic characters on them. I know one is Spiderman and another is wolverine, I don't remember what the bigger one was. I look up and see another guy in a speedo and cape, only this one is much much heavier than the first, floating above the building I am next to. The building has a collapsed roof and the wall in breaking. It's made of like cream stucco or something.

Only got about 3 hours of sleep last night so no real dreams to speak of. However I did wake up to my daughter crying thinking I was in my friend J's house and was pretty disoriented for a moment. Pretty sure that was due to thinking about wanting to hang out with him soon. Just writing in an effort to correct my recall.

Still not much going on in the matter of a dream life right now. Waking life is getting in the way lol.

Dream One: I'm at the Cabin at the lake with a bunch of other people. It's got to be a party or something. I decide to walk down to the water, but when I follow the path to the water I end up at my moms old house instead. I go inside, and there are a lot of people there too. I turn left and go into the living room where my husband is talking to my friend L. They're talking about anime, and L is saying he likes bleach. I'm pretty sure in waking life he's never seen it lol. I start agreeing that I like Bleach as well and we talk for a bit about how bad ass Ichigo is. Then I get up to go to the bathroom. When I get to the bathroom though I decide I need to do laundry not use the bathroom. I open the bathroom door and it's dark inside, but when I go to turn on the light I hear someone say Woah! Some how L has gone from being in the living room to being in the bathroom and is completely naked. I try to apologize, but he tells me to turn the light on and get a better look. I laugh and shake my head not daring to turn the light on now that he's told me to, and then grab the laundry and duck out quickly and embarrassedly. I duck into a room that I seem to think is mine even though I never lived in that house with mom. I take off my clothes and put them in the laundry basket and grab a pretty dress with rainbow stripes. I throw on the dress and grab a bandana off the dresser next to me. I start trying to figure out how I'm going to wear it, wrapped up as a head band or folded in half to cover most of my head. As I look in the mirror trying to figure out what looks best, I find that my hair looks like it's shrinking. It's like it's growing in reverse, getting shorter instead of longer and at a really quick rate. Then I lean in closer and my face is getting dark and I have a five O'clock shadow coming in. I rub my hand on my face and freak out that I have a beard coming in! I watch as my face starts to morph and look more and more like my husband. I start to flip out and panic, thinking to myself that I don't want people to see me like this, looking like a guy. Then I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I start telling myself over and over to calm down, there is no way that I am growing a beard. I do not look like my husband and I do not have facial hair. This will go away. It works, and my face is back to normal when I open my eyes, though I haven't realized it was a dream. Then L walks in, and tells me that my dress is the tackiest and ugliest dress he has ever seen and he loves it. I make a sarcastic crack about how sweet that was, and then I wake up.

Dream One(Fragment): I was in a tangle of bodies. I think they were Band aids from Almost Famous. WE were just laying down and singing Pendulum songs, lol.

Dream Two: I'm with My bff Ambies. She's eating cup cakes with yellow and green frosting. Sudden;y she starts acting funny and I think she's been brainwashed by these cupcakes. I wish that where ever the cupcakes were made was destroyed to that no one else could get brain washed. I see it happen on a nearby tv, a cupcake factory blowing up. Ambies gets up and leaves, and then I take the wrappers and the left over cup cake and start to throw it away. Then I think better of it and instead glob the frosting off the remaining cupcake and use it to write a message on a tray. I can't remember what the message said, but it was for my mom so she'd know to reverse engineer whatever was in the cupcakes and find a cure for Ambies. Suddenly the house goes dark and the tv starts flickering. I go into the living room to find the tv isn't even on. The flicker is coming from flashlights out the window. A group of guys in suits like Agents from the Matrix burst through the door. One of then starts walking lazy circles around me and talking to me about my involvement in blowing up the cupcake factory. He wants to know where the cupcakes are and I tell hi I don't know. He tells me they can't find a cure for Ambies without the cupcakes. I finally decide to just let him have the frosting and message meant for my mom to look at. My mom suddenly shows up and she's with him. The promise to find a cure for Ambies. I wake up.

Insomnia is striking me tonight. I slept maybe 4 hours :/ now I'm awake several hours earlier than usual, oh well. I have a dream fragment from today and one from yesterday that I didn't remember until this morning.

Dream Fragment from yesterday: I was looking for Hentai (anime porn, lol) on the internet and couldn't find what I was looking for. I think I was looking for something that had a character similar to the Red eyed guy in the dream prior to this fragment, but I couldn't find any with characters that looked like him. Not an important dream, but I'm hoping not to lose my recall and it gives this entry more length.

Dream One(Fragment): I was writing on Facebook, only my facebook looked different. Instead of a blinking line that showed me where my curser was in the text box, I had a beautiful burgundy flower with a gold outline and swirls on it. I typed something about being the queen of fairies, and how my favorite part of the job was my pretty new magic Facebook scheme. Then I went for a walk and I saw tall grass and a horse laying in it. I turned and walked away not wanting to spook the horse. Then I thought about my facebook post and wondered if my friends would think I was weird because I was a fairy now.

If I manage to get back to sleep and dream I will post more later.

So I had a nap, and it was awesome. I'll explain why after the dream:

I was at my grandma's house and leaving. I walked out the door and it was instantly in the cracked map from Call of Duty Black Ops multiplayer. I saw a helicopter overhead, and I ducked under some concrete to hide. My phone makes a little noise, and I realize I have a notification or text message. I check it, and it's a message from a facebook friend. I don't expect one from him because I sent him a message days ago and never heard back so I thought he was ignoring me. I check the message, and he's saying something about gummy bears? lol Then he tells me to drop a line and talk to him sometime. I think this is odd, but then I read that he's the one in the Helicopter and I think this is even weirder and so I am wondering if he can see me. I step out from hiding to wave at the helicopter but he's flying away. I shrug it off and start walking through town. I find myself in a mall with my kids, and I start chasing them around the mall. Someone says Stephen King is there signing books. Eventually I find a Dollar tree where everything is a dollar, and I think I want to go in so that I can get some pretty printed stationary to write notes to my BFF. I can't find what I'm looking for, and a lady stops to help me, but she has no clue what I'm trying to explain to her. Eventually I realize that this Dollar Tree doesn't have everything for a dollar, in fact everything is like thirty dollars or more and it's a complete rip off. So I thank the lady for her help and then leave with my kids. I wake up.

And when I woke up, I really did have an unexpected message from the friend. I found that strange and cooley prophetic!

Dream One (Fragment): I'm with a bunch of people in some sort of storm. We're taking cover around a bridge or building with columns or something. I'm lucky that I survive the storm, and then go to try and find survivors to help.

Dream Two (Fragment): All I can remember is seeing an ex-boyfriend with some chic. The chic and I are talking, and she's very suspicious of me and doesn't want me to talk to him because she has no idea who I am. I tell her she doesn't have to worry, I don't want anything to do with him because I dated him once and he was an asshole.

Dream Three: I'm outside a city gate, it reminds me of Venice in Assassins Creed II, everything is old and there's water everywhere. For some reason I know I'm banned from this city, but I want back in. I have my kids with me. I tell them to stay put behind a small house, and I go about trying to figure out how to sneak into the city. I find a tower, and start to climb it, but then see guards coming, so I shimmy around tot he back of the tower, then climb up and back down. On the tower I saw that I could hop across some poles in the water to get back into the city. I make my way back to my kids to tell them, and I see my husbands ex-fiance there with her kids and husband. She stops me and asks me why I'm there since I'm banned from the city. I tell her I was just looking around trying to figure out how to get my things that are left in the city. She offers to help, but I decline saying I'll figure it out. Then I tell the kids about the poles, and we hop across the river and make our way to our home in the city avoiding guards surprisingly easy as we go.

Dream Four: I'm in a car with my kids and there is a man driving. He has long dark hair and facial hair, and I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be Ezio. He's telling me that as long as the men who are hunting me are alive, there's no where my kids and I can be safe except by his side. He drives onto the interstate, then rams into the back of a limo causing the limo to swerve, then tip over and roll a few times. He quickly exits off a ramp to the right that curves under the interstate, and parks the car under the bridge. Then He tells us we're going to go finish him. We follow him at a distance as he walks up the embankment and makes like a concerned citizen and acts like he's helping the dude out of the limo, but instead he shoots the man and then we get back in the car. We drive to a college, and get out. Ezio seems to think the next target is a professor in the building. We go inside, and then Ezio slips into a classroom and my kids and I stand against a wall and try to look like we belong there. After a while, I realize it's taking Ezio a long time and something must be wrong. I don't hear any shouts or screaming so I know there's nothing bad going down, but I wonder if he needs a way out, so I peek my head into the classroom and motion to him. He comes out and grabs my little little girl and pics her up and asks her if she missed him, acting like a father would. We move away from the classroom and to a bench, and he thanks us for giving him an excuse to escape and giving him cover by making him look like a family man and not an assassin. He believes that his target has figured him out. He kisses the top of my forehead and thanks me for coming to his aid. People are walking all around us at this point, but ignoring us completely. There's a table nearby with a bunch of men in suits talking, and a couple of skinny chics in flight attendant outfits walk by. Then I see a guy with dress pants and a pink button up shirt with a tie walking with another man. I know the pink shirt guy is the target, and he's got a folder open and showing it to the other man. He's telling the other man that he swears that the assassin walked into his classroom this morning and tried to kill him, he was lucky that the assassin was interrupted by the witch and her children pretending to be his family. The other man laughs at this idea, and tells him that assassins don't do jobs after they have settled into a family life, and that he probably just saw a man who looked like the assassin with his family. Ezio pushes me gently forwards on the bench, and I take that as my cue to get the kids and start moving. I walk right past the guy in the pink shirt, and am careful to catch his eye as I do so. He looks at me and turns pale then starts to say, "There she..." But he's cut off when he's shot by Ezio's secret gun. Everyone screams, and so do I, then I make like I'm trying to cover my children with my body to protect them from more shots, even though I know there will be no more. Ezio comes running and acts like the concerned husband, trying to block up from gun fire, asking if we're ok, and then finally telling us to run in case the shooter returns. We run a few hundred feet away to a bridge over the lower floor. We stand there close enough to still see where the target is laying dead, but far enough that we don't look like anything more than curious bystanders. Ezio starts to thank me for being a distraction and giving him his opening, but I wake up in mid-sentence.
