Sept 23rd

1- Running Town Line

A few others and I were jogging up Town Line. For a reason I can't remember now we split up. Everyone esle wanted to go back. I wanted to go forward. They all turned and left me standing alone. I was nearly tempted to go with them but needed to go forward, even if alone.
Moved on, by myself. The road became unfamiliar to me and wondered if I'd get lost. Kept glancing back to see the others moving off far in the distance in the opposite direction, nothing but little specks on the horizon.



2- Tina's Place

((may actually be a continuation of the above))
Was outside Tina's house, (formerly my aunt B's house, the one aunt nice enough to take me in when I had no where else to go) and decided to go in. Went in the 'front' door. (she had no front door, just a side and back door). Got inside and kids were everywhere.
Tina was blathering on about something or another, her man kept interupting and making her mad. I felt horridly out of place. The house didn't feel comfortable anymore. Went to find the kitchen and discovered the inside of the house was changed. The walls and floors were crooked or warped or made of rough looking wood. Dont remember much else beyond being really disappointed that everything had changed.



3- Knocking

Was living in a second story apt. Kids were scattered about the place. Everything in the room was earthy toned which I didn't like. Reminded me of dirt and made me want to obsessively clean. Some kids were watching tv, some listening to the stereo, I simply sat on the couch thinking.
Someone knocked on the door downstairs. One of the kids jumped up to answer. "NO" i yelled. Had the feeling that to answer the door would mean something bad. The kid sat back down. I moved to the rail and looked down the stairs at the door. Whoever was knocking pushed the mailslot in the door open and yelled through asking if 'so and so' was there. I ignored.
Laid on the couch and watched tv. The knocking continued...continued... continued. I sat straight up all the sudden, realizing that someone was knocking on the door irl.
"Im dreaming...someone's at my real door!" I muttered out loud. I theorized that as long as I ignored the knocker in dream I would stay in dream, but if someone anwered the door I'd end up waking up.
I also remembered that there was something I was supposed to do... and spent a great deal of effort trying to recall what that something was...but the knocking on the door continued and kept shattering my concentration. I was getting incredibly pissed off. I began to think of ways to be rid of the person banging on the door but realized that no matter what I did to be rid of them the knocking would continue because someone was actually knocking irl.
The knocking suddenly upped in volume. I looked over to the right of the room and a huge wooden door had appeared. Whoever was knocking was now nocking really loudly at that door. I closed my eyes and tried to ignore the sound. The kids kept asking if they could answer. I kept yelling NO!
I then heard the door knob ratting around as if someone were trying to get in. One of the kids ran to the door and tried to open it. I ran across the room and pulled the kid away from the door.
"That's it!" I muttered. I turned the doorknob and it seemed jammed. Kept twisting and turning it till it loosened. I ripped the door open and saw this little girl standing outside. She opened her mouth to speak and I shoved her down the hall, "Get the FUCK out of here you little bastard! Some of us are trying to sleep. FUCK! GO! LEAVE! Dont' come back you little annoying shit..." I continued yelling at the kid until I suddenly awoke.
Woke up to see that D had actually answered the door and was talking to some kid. "You wanna visit with your bastards, go to their house." I yelled at him then rolled over to try get back to sleep. Was sleeping on the couch btw.


<<< 500th DREAM >>>
4- Bird & Lion

Driving along, noticed a huge bird of prey in a tree, it&#39;s wings spread out as if it were sunning them. Whipped out the camera to take a pic but just before I could a huge lion came bounding through the trees, across branches. It leapt onto the bird and began mauling it.
I snapped non-stop pictures of the attack knowing that no one would believe what had happened unless they had pix to prove it. Proof the lion attacked the bird.
The lion finished mauling the bird and charged for me. Was in a vehicle and I told the person who was driving to go faster but they wouldn&#39;t. The lion quickly caught up and I woke up just before it reached me.
