Twisty's Gallery of Dreams

December 3, 2011

More old dreams. These all happened in the same night, and I was able to remember all of them. These won't have my regular analyses, categories, or ratings.

1.) I was in some sort of barber shop, where a bunch of people I know were sitting on a gymnastics mat. I was talking to my friend Dean, who was trying to convince me to join the soccer team (which is weird, because he plays football). I told him that I already run cross-country, but I used to play soccer. I then put on roller skates, and my friend Sam and I began to skate around the room. I tripped and fell onto Sara, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor. I then looked up at the television, where a commercial for women's lingerie was on. Suddenly, the tv became my vision, and it was really happening, although I wasn't there. The woman was swimming through the arctic ocean, wearing the lingerie advertised, and it began to show her circulatory system. Then she was back to normal, but was now a mermaid. Fins began to grow on her arms, but the dream faded.

2.) My brother and I were in our backyard, looking over the fence at our neighbors, who had this huge swingset-type thing. There was a speaker box on their tree, which I explained to my brother was for neighborhood broadcasts.

3.) I was in an old underground room with my brother and dad, that was supposedly underneath my grandparents' house. There was a huge switch box that supposedly used to control what shows aired on Cartoon Network.

4.) I was in a forest with this wolf pup, and we were being pursued by some unseen force that hid in the treeline. We eventually got away, and ran down some stone stairs into a park.

5.) My mom, grandmother, aunt, and I were at some sort of gardens/amusement park in London. We got on a train that went around the rim of this oval-shaped lake. At one point, I though that we were going to hit this Indian woman who was sitting in the water, but we never did. We got off, and I spent some quarters on an arcade game. The object of the game was to tilt the case so that the little balls would roll into the hole. I won a bunch of times. Among the prizes were some cards that built a castle, a super ball, and lots of coins. There were dollar coins, foreign coins, one with a cartoon version of Obama on the front, and one that supposedly was a spy camera that showed what Justin Beiber was doing. My mom was frustrated that I had spent my money, but I showed her that I had won more money than I had spent.

November 25, 2011

This is the first in a long series of entries that I am transferring from my written DJ to this one. This deals with yet another encounter I had with Jaggers', and is the only one I've had since then.

I was at my house, sitting on my front porch, when three of my cross-country friends, Mike, Will, and Parker, came jogging up to me. They wanted to know if I wanted to go on a run with them, and I agreed. This next part was sort of hazy, but I remembered going a far distance.

Eventually, we came to Bruno Lane, a narrow side street that I haven't actually been down myself. We turned down that way, and it turned out that it was more of a trail than a street. There were some tire tracks that showed that cars did, indeed, use it. There were lots of branches in the way, and I had to keep pushing them out of my face. There was a small footbridge that crossed over a thin creek, and the ground was all saturated, as if it had just rained.

When we got towards the end of the trail, Will climbed up onto a pile of dirt. Parker walked off the trail and down a slope to a little pond, where he proceeded to start singing "We Are Family," while Mike beat boxed to the tune.

I turned around, and saw a group of girls riding horses down the path. I recognized my friend Sara, who I haven't seen for a while, as one of them. She was talking on one of those Bluetooth earphones to so sone who was supposedly her supervisor.
"Hey," I said, trying to get her attention.
"Oh, hi Ben!" she responded. "Are you on a run for cross-country?"
"Yeah," I answered. "We were just about to get going." I motioned to the others, and they came back.
"Well, I'll see you around," she said.
We waved to each other, and the group of riders headed off.

Mike, Will, Parker, and I kept running, and just as we stepped out of the woods, a familiar face appeared: Jaggers.

"Hello again," he said with a malicious glint in his eye. "Don't worry. I've changed my evil ways. You have nothing to worry about."

My friends didn't seem to think so. After being turned into animals by him before, they weren't going to take a second chance. They fled as fast as their legs could take them. Jaggers facepalmed.

Just then, a woman dressed in a black gown came out of the trail. She engaged Jaggers in an argument of some sort, although I can't remember what they said. After a few minutes, they stopped, and began to make out. Then, she dipped her hand in a nearby puddle, and transformed into a mermaid! I was shocked, but Jaggers told us to get in his car. It was a VW Bug, so there wasn't a lot of room. The mermaid's tail kept hitting my face, and it became quite a nuisance.

When we pulled up to Jaggers' mansion, he was shocked to find that it had become a giant gingerbread house.
"Whose idea of a prank is this?!" he cried.

We all went in, and Jaggers began a conversation with the mermaid. While they were talking, I went out to the back porch, and tore off a couple of gumdrops. I popped them in my mouth, and they were quite chewy, but very bland.

The mermaid asked me to come help her out on the front lawn. I found her with some bronze pieces of armor, which she asked me to help her put on. I pulled it up onto her tail, but she immediately began to scream, and her flesh smoked. I pulled it off right away. She said something about it being poisoned by some sort of dark beast, but the dream began to fade.

Analysis: I'm not entirely sure here. Sara does ride horses, and Will is a showoff, and would certainly run up not top of something, but Parker doesn't sing, and Mike doesn't beatbox. The mermaid, I'm not sure about either, even though it's one of my dream signs. Jaggers as well. And cross-country. I'm surprised that even though all three of my major dream signs were there, I still didn't become lucid.
