E'Katerina's Dream Journal

E'Katerina's Dream Journal Hello Everyone! With advice from my good friend and ex-roommate, I have decided to write a dream journal! She's been peer-presurring me a lot, whenver we talk, and even in my last dream! In any case, I'll do my best to keep up and write down everything I can recall. I'm going to begin by writing down the dream that finally convinced me to start this (which was from about a week ago). So, here I go! In the Beginning..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I don't remember the beginning of the dream to well. I think I was exploring some ruins or something. In any case, I was walking around alone when I suddenly remembered I had to go to class. I was afraid that I was going to be late! So I rushed over to my class--which was apparently a lecture held in the outdoor ampitheatre in Millienium Park in Chicago. There, I took a seat close to the front next to Yelizaveta (who has a dream journal as well on these boards. In real life, we used to be roommates, but then we went to seperate colleges. Apparently in this dream, we were attending the same college and were still roommates). Yelizaveta and I were chatting normally about random stuff when suddenly something came over her. She became very serious, like she suddenly knew something incredibly important that I didn't. She seemed to know something cosmic and powerful--almost Matrix-y-like. She obviously wanted me to know, but she couldn't just tell me outright--I had to somehow figure out for myself. Yelizaveta leaned in close to me and randomly said "Look into my eyes..." and my dream started zooming more and more into microscopic levels. I suddenly zoom out again and I know what it all means--she was trying to tell me I was dreaming! (pretty strange, huh?) Of course, rather than using this new found lucidity to do something cool and interesting, I promptly freak out because it now means that I am going to be late for class and I have to wake up and hurry off. Well, I didn't ACTUALLY wake up--I had a long false awakening of me getting ready and hurrying to school. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In any case, I thought this dream was really interesting because the night right before I had it, Yelizaveta was talking about how much she dreams of me that she wanted to use me as a dream signal (which I did that very same night.) We also talked about how cool it would be if we could have 'shared dreams,' so when I woke up, I asked her if she dreamt something similiar--unfortunately she said she didn't. Oh well, maybe next time

The Night of February 6th, 2008 Alright--so there is this really amazing act in town--and admission is almost free. The performer is a musical magician- inventor-comedian I have a large 'click' of friends in real life, so in the dream, all of us are going to go see the act together. He's somewhat funny looking, like a splice of Svengoolie (when he was thin) and Klaus Nomi (except with long hair), in a really weird outfit with strange makeup. But his show is phenominal! He pulled out this huge piano-like contraption from nowhere (and we were all sitting outside watching this--so it was really from nowhere)) and then he creates this giant pipe/wind instrument that he attatches to the piano horizontally (apparently this strange windpipe-piano is his own inventio). And he begins to play--and oh how he played (and sung)! And while he was playing--he was still perfoming magic! There were colors and pretty things flying around everywhere; it was truly gorgeous. So we were watching and I was thinking "oh shoot--I forgot to bring my camera to record this guy and get pictures!" because apparently i'd forget the entire performace if i didn't have pictures or somekind of memorabilia. so i start asking a round my group if i could borrow their camera so i wouldn't forget the performance. and of course, pretty much no one has one except nick--and i could tell cuz he was letting jess (his girlfriend) take pictures. Anyways, i ask him if i could take a picture and have a copy of whatever it is that they shot as well. He goes all thoughtful and says "You know what--no, i'm sorry. i can't. my camera is too valuable to let you touch it." I was really pissed because first of all, his camera was not that hot, second i am his 'friend' and i take good care of things (i only wanted 1 damn picture!) and third he was letting jess take pictures, and she was being really careless! Well, I was pissed. But then my friend Crizz came over and let me borrow her camera so I could record something....except the whole performance I was so busy trying to get a camera, I missed the majority of the show. I recorded only the ending song (how disappointing!). Well, apparently, our group the only audience he had, so we got to go up and talk to him after the performance. Being thoroughly impressed with him, I decide I want to buy something so he can sign it and I can have his autograph....except I have no money (I didn't bring my pursue either?) I start searching for some random flat thing and i eventually find one of those really cheap paper fans (which they gave us as it was hot outside) and ask if he can sign it. Which he does...and I'm both happy and dissapointed (happy I have an autograph, unhappy it's on a cheap paper fan that'll probably end up wrecked somewhere.) End of Dream!!!

wow I think it's funny how you said I 'peer pressured' you..makes it sound like i'm trying to get you try some new drug! I love you magician dream, I kind of wish I had shared it with you...but it seems you didn't have the courtesy to invite even a dream version of me along. hmph. :p cant wait to read more!

sorry yelizaveta, seems I didn't have any dreams last night

Night of February 10th, 2008 I don't remember this dream to well, but it looked slightly like I was in a SIM game. Yelizaveta and I were applying to this college--apparently admissions was passing a metal detector test (like the kind you see in airports.) I went first and passed. In a rather comical fashion, Yelizaveta set her alarm and the police came and took her away. when the police took her away, they put her on her side and carried her off like a cardboard cut out. I'm pretty sure I just laughed and waved. After I got into the college, I decided to check out the library. Another feature of this school was that it accepted aliens as students. I started talking to this black alien who was about 1.5 times larger than the average human. It turns out on his planet, everyone is really religious. I know this because somewhere in our conversation I said, "God Damnit!" Even this was more of a slang-phrase, he became really offended and started to talk about the greatness of God and how I was terrible and ungrateful for everything. Trying to calm him down, i tried to explain that I didn't really mean it that way, but it was just something people said when they are frustrated. It didn't matter and I was lectured for the next hour--and when he didn't convince me, he wrote off the entire human-kind as being egotistical biggots.

Too bad I didnt get into college lol!

that's a hilarious dream! Too bad I didnt get into college lol! don't you just wish ALL college admission tests were walking through a metal detector? life would be so much easier. though apparently fate doesn't EVER want us to go to the same college--even in my dreams, lol!

[yelizaveta]

nice to hear I apparently have the emotional and character depth in your mind of a cardborad cutout...lol, jk

The Night of February 11th, 2008 Well, I had somewhat unusal dreams last night. They seemed to follow a trend--they both had this odd gothic fantasy feel going with them. Which just strikes me as odd. As I am not goth, nor intend to be. Ah yes, and both of them were from the 3rd person point of view, involving random characters I don't know. Dream 1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The dream followed these nonsensical adventures of an ancient vampire and the Goddess of Death, and her messenger of death, in the form of a large, black cat. The three went everywhere--the vampire was pretty much acting as a tour guide of the mortal world for the goddess. In another way, it looked rather pretty in this weird, dark way. The vampire was very much a romantic, so everything he set up for them was very extravagant. It was rather funny as well because even though everything looked really dark, the vampire had an unusally flamboyant and colorful personality--and acted very metrosexual. I can't exactly remember the plot or much of what happened and why, but I remember towards the end the vampire started trying to make something creative for the goddess to impress her. He tried his hand at Shakespearan poetry (in which scene he abruptly showed up in 14th century clothing holding a skull), but he was really bad at it. I think in the end he drew her this really kiddish stick figure drawing in crayola crayons of them with smiley faces and rainbows. The cat grinned as this amused him, but the goddess just stared at him like 'you're an idiot.' ~~~~ Dream 2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This one is incomplete and very short as my alarm clock woke me up before it could begin. Basically there was this woman with completely white skin and only black clothes (this is why I say it's goth themed) who was a commoner. But she somehow managed to get married to this important nobleman (also with a goth look....) and they lived in this big [goth] castle. As the goth nobleman, being noble, considered himself to be higher quality than his lowly wife, he put her to work like a cinderalla (apparently, even with all his wealth, the had no servants). She was very upset, and went downstairs to clean the basement. however, when she got there, she found a vagabond or hobo or something had been living there for a while. (I think the feeling was that the hobo figured that the castle was so big, so unoccupied, and it was cold outside, so he just snuck in figuring no one would realize he was there. Of course she was shocked and frightened and--- Alarm clock wakes me up. the end!

Your first dream gave me a strong feeling of nostalgia- it reminds me of the stories we used to tell each other at night before falling asleep in our beds. As we got sleepier they got wilder and wilder...remember lucy and the queen and wizard, the twin babies, and marilyn? Also, the large black cat as the consort of the devil sounds like Behemoth from Master and Margarita...

Sorry for not posting in such a long time. I've been really busy with stuff, which I think has affected my dream recall. Here's a little bit of what I remember from the last night.... The Night of February 18, 2008 This dream was rather strange. I ran into some old childhood friends I haven't seen in years. They were two boys (who were siblings) I played with in my youth. We almost always played in or around their house--they never visited mine. They were both very rambunctious and played wildly. While we were sort of a trio, the older one and I were sort of friendly rivals. In any case, the dream begins in my house, in my sister's room. Despite my ability to recognize the setting, it was still implied that I was over at their house (maybe we had a house switch). We had just set up DDR, and the eldest and I (once again, rivals) were competiting against each other. It suddenly became unbearbly hot, so we all decided to strip down to nothing but underwear. This may sound strange, but it the feeling was actually very light and innocent. Even though we were all older in this dream, we were still acting like children and us going half-nude was more of a non-chaleunt thing since we were all (apparently) so comfortable with each other. Of course, as soon as we got undressed, almost EVERYONE shows up (including some random strangers). Apparently our parents wanted to show us off to some people, and here we were standing around half-naked. They were all horrified, thinking we were doing something really terrible of course and rushed away before we could explain anything. The boys' father then shows up and grounds them. He looks at me and tells me to go set up his excel program for him. (Kind'a strange ending....)

(Kind'a strange ending....) haha this dream was really fun to read..I can understand the "innocent nudity" thing- your dream almost feels like a social commentary. then again, you know my attitude towards nudity pretty well. Maybe an interpretation could be that you are feeling restricted by something in real life and feel the need to "strip" it away, without figures of control punishing you? (or asking you to do Excel spreadsheets for them, lol)

It also didn't help that in my childhood, our parents use to joke we were going to be an item when we grew up. hence another way it ties into "looking like we were doing something we weren't."
