Milk, Milk, Lemonade...

Dreamt that we lived at grandma's old house. It was pretty much the same as in real life. Sarah was on her laptop and Rachel, who had gone outside, returned with a fox that had light tan fur and some sort of white marking on its side. Grandma had other "dogs", so she accepted the fox as a new pet. The fox and I got along; just as I do to my cat in real life, I began playfully sniffing around, and the fox started sniffing around as well. At one point in the dream, I was in the guest bedroom with Sarah and Rachel...I don't remember too much after that, but there was something involving a tin can, sliced tomatoes, milk, and possibly my own urine. Yeesh.

Dude, Where's My Cell?

Also dreamt that Jaron, Trent and I went to some event (I'm guessing we drove there ourselves). I got bored after a while so I drove home without them. Once I got home, I remembered that Rachel and Michael were going to the same event (through the gap in the apartments I could even see the truck heading down Park St.), so I frantically looked around for my phone to call Mike's cell, but when I tried to text him, I realized it wasn't my cell, and I didn't know how to use it.

Eye Wish Eye Could See

And yet another dream...disturbing because it was so closely related to events in the waking world: After I woke up from the second dream, I went online to meet this guy on Messenger so that I could send him this file (Macromedia Flash, to be exact). He wasn't online yet, so I just left Messenger on and went back to sleep. I then had a false awakening, dreaming that I woke up later, but couldn't open my eyes all the way. I could open them just enough to make out the shapes of the furniture in my room, but it was all dark and blurred. I tried to look at the computer screen, seeing something flashing, meaning that he wrote something, but I couldn't read what he wrote, as desperately as I tried to get my eyes all the way open. Then I guess I started imagining that some Silent Hill-type stuff was going on, as I remember saying something like "Oh that's just great. I can't see anything, I can't see what this guy wrote, and now there are zombies in the house!" thinking all the while that one was going to burst into my room at any moment.

Yeah... false awakenings are just scary to me. I hate 'em.

Practical Jokes You and Your Sweetheart Can Enjoy

I dreamt that we lived in some kind of luxury suite or apartment of some sort. There were rotating rooms where you could get crushed at the entrance if you stepped into the doorway while the wall of the room rotated past the door. There was a lot of gameplaying going on, and I was playing some medieval-set game, and Rachel was, for some reason, listening to music from the old Nintendo game Faxanadu. Amber came over and, as a joke, we climbed into the bathtub and closed the curtains so that whenever someone walked in, we would move around a lot and make moaning and various other types of sex noises. I remember that startled Rachel and pissed my mom off.

Survivor, American Idol, Who Knows...

I dreamt that I and basically everyone I knew were at some big, deserted parking lot outside of some big store (probably Wal Mart). It was night and, for some reason, people were passing out finger foods and stuff (I remember Mike trying to go back for thirds, but they wouldn't give him any more). Then I had a TV remote in my hand and all the sudden there was this huge 18-wheeler truck doing donuts around me and everyone else - they were all badgering me into turning the channel to this one popular reality show. I was like "NEVER! I will not conform!" Then everyone was just like "Eh, let's just watch a sitcom" and we all went inside the store.

Scooby Doo, Where Are You? (No Seriously, Where'd He Go?)

Here I dreamt that my "stepdad" (i.e., some guy I wouldn't know in real life), Scooby Doo and I went through a lot of hazardous areas with snake pits and stuff. It was all side-view as if it were an old Atari game... sort of reminded me of Pitfall blended with Donkey Kong. We met and made friends with these two sisters who were living puppets, who sort of looked like this. They decided to accompany us on our travels. At one point, we were in this small library-looking area with bookshelves, and we saw this crazy old professor-looking guy in a wheelchair. He had two huge white-furred tigers as pets, one on each side of him. I guess we did something to piss him off, since he sicced the tigers on us, and we fled, weaving through the maze of bookshelves to get away. When we finally escaped, the puppet sisters were missing. So I went on alone to find them. I finally did - they were in a lone room and the the more vain of the two (surprisingly, the less attractive, "slothish" looking one pictured left) was holding a crystal. She said it had mystical powers, but it wouldn't activate unless I flipped a certain switch (they were both too short to reach it themselves). I seem to remember hesitating because there were a bunch of little black spiders hanging around the aforementioned switch, but I flipped it, and the puppet girl holding the crystal turned into a human woman. Her sister, however, remained the same. The now-human girl was now vainly spouting off stuff about how much more beautiful she was (which wasn't much more pretty than her puppet form) and she walked off. The one who had remained a doll was obviously envious, but like a good sister, she was not jealous, so I consoled her and offered to let her come with me on my travels. She agreed and we went back to traversing evil snake pits of doom....

Later, I was in "my" neighborhood (had never seen the place before in reality), and it was late at night. There was this sort of renaissance fair place in front of the neighborhood. I went inside this castle-like structure and looked for the bathroom. There was a corridor to the left and it led to a tower, the door to its entrance reading "The Yadda" (???). I climbed up the tower about halfway but stopped, hearing voices coming from the top. Don't remember much after that.

Quick...to the Highgrounds!

Then I dreamt that Rachel, Sarah and I rented a room at a lakeside hotel in some town. It was this nice little place built atop a hill, elevated above the rest of the town. Sarah even brought Johnny (her cat) along. The weather was rainy and pretty windy, and there were flash flood warnings on the radio. We paid them no mind. Then soon the water was getting ridiculously high (the rest of the town was underwater), and we had about an hour to pack up and get out of there before the water reached our hotel on the hill. Sarah, I guess, was in denial because she didn't want to leave. That was when Katie showed up and talked some sense into her and we all left in time to escape the flood.

Fairly Normal Dream...Sorta

In this dream I was looking through a window and saw Katie, Rick (Katie's ex), Aaron (Rick's son), Aunt Kathy, and Ryan sitting on a couch watching TV. Ryan looked up at me through the window and nodded as if to say "hey". I nodded back and went back inside the apartment and heard something through my bedroom window. It was Josh in the apartment next door, leaning out the adjacent window and whispering "Jay!" (my nickname), trying to get my attention to tell me something. We talked for a little bit before he left and I went into the kitchen waiting for the water on the stove to boil, eating green Sour Patch straws all the while.

Dude - She Doesn't Like You

In another dream, I was Terron Fisk (a fictional character I created) and I was at some sort of convention where prizes were being given away. I won so many things that the other people kind of started throwing me dirty looks, so I kind of backed off. The only thing I remember next was being on a boat. I saw some girl who had ghost powers walk through a locked door down to the ship's hold, probably to escape her suitor - this nerdy guy with thick-rimmed glasses. Upon losing her trail he said something nerdily poetic like "Oh mysterious girl, how I love thee!" Or something.

There's a Reason For Expiration Dates

In my third dream, I was Megaman X in some type of new game. In one level, which was more of a top secret military base than anything, I had to run around and dodge enemies and climb walls and crap really fast, for there was a wall of flame chasing me (kills you instantly if it touches you), which I got killed by once or twice. At one point I picked up one of those tiny, pint-sized cartons of milk you get served at elementary schools. I made it to the boss area which was outside the base. I vividly remember the scene as having a dark, stormy blue sky, and the rocks and distant mountains that made up the landscape were also tinted a dark shade of blue. Anyway, the boss appeared, and it was Dr. Robotnik. He sprayed fire at me, which I dodged. I blasted him quite a bit with my arm cannon, but it didn't seem to be doing much. Then I remembered I had milk. I took it out and sprayed it into his mouth. He gagged and said something like "UGH, this tastes like cat piss!" before exploding.

Bingo Saves The Day

Dreamt something about a trial which was taking place against an innocent police officer. His accuser was the police chief, an unpleasant fellow. At one point, a dog entered the courtroom and somehow carried with him something or other that served as evidence against the police chief, causing the jurors to acquit the officer and convict the chief. Don't remember anything else about it, other than it was in black and white.

Fire Drills Are Pointless Anyway

Was at the high school. I was in a class which was being taught in the school ag barn with Mr. Krause, my old metal shop teacher back in high school. He proceeded to ask the students questions about The Belgariad series, as if it had been given to us as assigned reading. I remember answering one of his questions about which character did this or that, and as I recall it was "Silk". Another one of the questions asked "After what did the medieval event occur?" (which was funny to me not only because of its vagueness, but because that whole series is set in medieval-ish times). Then the fire alarm went off and, as is predictable, the kids eagerly scrambled for the door in hopes of getting a chance to mess around and talk with friends. Mr. Krause, however disabled the barn's fire alarm, proceeding at some length to tell them how to use their senses; the fire was, if existent, obviously elsewhere and no danger to the students there in the barn, and how it was pointless to waste valuable class time to stand around outside on the grass and chatter with friends.

Violation of Nature

In this third dream, it was mid morning - about 7:00, judging from the sun. I was getting ready for school and I stopped by my father's (who is deceased in reality) apartment. I found out that he was dating my Aunt Kathy. By this, I seem to remember feeling morally outraged and disgusted. In some warped attempt to quell my outrage, he bought me some Taco Bell. That's all I can remember for that one (thank goodness).

At Least She's Honest

There was this big, clear vase-looking thing that was filled with a purple liquid that bubbled perpetually like an aquarium. The surface of the liquid seemed to act as a portal to another dimension - I seemed to remember dropping something into it and it disappeared. After screwing with that for a while, I got dressed up in my black slacks and heavy black jacket, placing my ushanka atop my head. I went into the bathroom and my reflection showed that, with the exception of the ushanka, I wasn't wearing anything at all. I went out into the living room where a woman (who I supposed was my girlfriend) and her daughter were, and I asked them what they saw when they looked at me. Confirming what I had seen in the mirror, their response was "A naked man in an ushanka cap." At one point I seem to remember putting this white powdery stuff in my hair to make it look grayed, as if I were an old man, in an attempt to surprise my "girlfriend".

I Play SMS

So in this dream I was playing Super Mario World (Gameboy Advance version) and I was finding out new levels and other secrets I had never known were there before. At one point I got up and walked over to this little pond and opened up the Gameboy, which had this liquid in it. I emptied it into the water. For this, I received some sort of device that allowed me to do whatever I want (sounds suspiciously like a lucid dream... only it wasn't). Then I was Luigi, and Mario and I still had the device. So we turned ourselves into women and called ourselves Maria and Luisa - the "Super Maria Sisters". For some reason I seem to recall there were a bunch of Japanese schoolgirls standing around on our porch, looking solemn for some reason. Then some monsters appeared from out of nowhere and attacked us - I used the do-whatever-you-want device to create a couple ray guns with which to fend them off - we blasted them all and were victorious. For that, we were awarded a chance at a bonus level, where Mario (now a man again) was walking and jumping around on elevated clothesline-like ropes, like in Mario Sunshine. But he fell off into a pit and failed the bonus level. On a side note, throughout the whole dream, the lighting was always dim, even dark.

Cheating Hos Never Prosper

This may very well fit into the category of "nightmare" (or at least it sure seemed that way when I was dating my ex). I don't know why I was there, but somehow I was at Trent's house (though Trent wasn't there and it didn't even look like his house). I was in what was presumably Trent's room, hiding under the bed, for I didn't know how I had gotten there, and I didn't exactly want to explain that to his mom, who detests me (in real life) for some reason. And for some reason, Amber and some dildo I've never met walk into the room and into a conjoining bathroom (which Trent doesn't have in his actual house... in fact, it reminds me more of the bedroom-bathroom in Sarah's old apartment). I crawled out from under the bed and found that there was a cabinet through which I could see through the wall and into the bathroom. The two of them were boinking vigorously in there. [Horror, horror, rage, horror, and more rage.] I went back under the bed until they came out. The asswipe left and Amber hung around, sitting on Trent's bed. That's when I pounced... figuratively, of course. I confronted her, and 'twas the priceless look of a cheating whore caught in (or rather, after) the act. We had a short argument and I remember saying something like "Well if you'll screw some random tool off a whim, why haven't you ever done me?" Then she got the hint I guess and we commenced some heavy petting, and I think I remember fingering her to orgasm. Woke up before any actual intercourse took place, though. On a side note, throughout the whole time we were sexing each other up, something inside my head was screaming "No! Leave her! You should feel betrayed! This'll only make her think you've forgiven her!"

True Crime: FFVI

I was in my bedroom and suddenly a blackbird flew through my window (which I guess was open - odd, considering I have a screen in my window). After vigorously chasing it around in an attempt to run it out of the house, I found a VHS tape that I had apparently been looking for for a while. I put it in the VCR, and then the dream goes "into" the movie. Or rather, it focuses on it, much like a viewer would. The plot centers around the legal system - a trial involving Terra Branford - she had come to our world and was on trial for some heinous crime, of which she was truly innocent. She was never shown throughout the better part of the movie - it mainly revolved around the investigators, jurors and such - everyone whose job it is to review the evidence. It especially dealt with the corruption in the legal system - there were dirty cops and investigators who were planting evidence in an attempt to condemn Terra for the crime (which was never mentioned so far as I remember). Throughout the slough of corrupted law enforcement officials there was one good cop who tried to thwart their plans in an attempt to free Terra. Unfortunately, his efforts were not enough, and Terra was convicted. Now seen in the movie, Terra was being taken to her place of confinement in a high-security prison by an escort of guards. At one point she made a break for it, taking one of the guards' guns and running. Eventually she made it to the top of the prison to a room where one of the walls was one big window (which looked to me like one of those places where guards are stationed to look out the window in order to spot anyone trying to escape below). In desperation, she fired the gun at the windows, but the glass was bullet-proof. She threw down the gun in capitulation as the guards burst into the room and broke down in tears of defeat as they took her back into custody. The one good cop who had tried to help her watched sadly as the innocent girl was taken to her life imprisonment (or execution, I don't know which) as he bitterly lamented that "The legal system fails again in the area of wrongful convictions".

[Though this is an older dream, it now strikes me as even more profound than when I first dreamt it, since I'm currently reading a book about wrongful convictions (True Witness by James M. Doyle) for my Psychology class.]

Penzoil - Kills Snakes Dead

This one was odd. Grandma and her husband Tony were at our apartment, and I had to help grandma assemble her breathing device. Afterward, Slip and I went into my room (which was a lot larger and more spacious than in reality) and noticed a square "map" (more like a graph) in the corner of the "screen" - the kind you see in games like Star Fox or other games where you have a small area map with radar. It showed our positions in the room, and the little arrows depicting me and Slip moved about the map whenever we moved. Then the cat came into the room (he had an arrow as well) and jumped into Slip's lap. The weird thing was that he was petting the cat with a "Hey buddy!". He hates cats in real life. Then two unidentified marks showed up on-map that we couldn't identify or explain, and they appeared to be underneath us (we were sitting on my bed). So I looked under the bed and saw a snake and some sort of big lizard hiding out under there. The lizard was striped red, black and yellow (like the poisonous coral snake) and the snake was striped red and yellow (almost like the coral snake). Because of this, I assumed them both to be poisonous, remembering the old Boy Scout saying about coral snakes: Red and black, friendly Jack. Red and yellow, deadly fellow. Slip left to get help or something but didn't come back. I went into the garage (which we don't have) and got a bottle of Penzoil, which was supposedly toxic enough to kill the two toxic menaces hiding under my bed. I went back into my room to find that a bunch of kids were sitting around watching a movie on my TV. They wouldn't budge, so I had to go around them. The lizard bit me - thus I grabbed it by the tail in a rage and slammed it against the desk until it was dead. I went out, got an antidote and went back to the room for the snake. I had the long stick with a with a claw that my grandma uses to pick things up and grabbed the thing with it, dipping it in the Penzoil. It died almost immediately. Then I went out to the living room and saw Tony actually playing Super Smash Bros.

Enough With the Michael Jackson Jokes Already!

Little do I remember of this dream - I was looking at a map of the Netherlands on my computer, which indicated where some prominent wharves on the Dutch coastline were located. I think I was looking at it through a program like Acrobat Reader or something, but it was called Vista-something or other. I remember having two other windows open - one was of a hentai picture (I remember the girl had red hair and dark skin...) and the other was one of the many Michael Jackson jokes out there; it showed him crouching over a sleeping young boy, about to put his hands on him with a weird smile on his face - the caption said "Quick! Do it while he's asleep!" Then I was examining a $13 bill, contemplating its existence (why did that not turn me lucid?) when my mom walked into my room. She took one look at the hentai girl and said something like "What the hell is this?" and walked out, obviously offended.

I think sometime after this I had a false awakening - I was dreaming the alarm clock was going off and I "woke up" briefly, but it seemed very faint and I slipped back into "sleep" despite it. [I know it didn't really go off because it was a Saturday, and I don't set my alarm on Saturdays.]

Springtime For Hitler

Don't remember too much about how it started off. The initial part seemed to revolve around what seemed like a female Plucky Duck (if you've ever watched Tiny Toon Adventures...) who was constantly verbally abused by her mother. They were in a place where the walls were constructed of beautiful tiles of dark purple glass. Pluckietta(?) wandered off, throwing a baseball at one wall, running around to the other side of the wall before it came through, in an attempt to catch it. It broke through the glass and hit her in the face, sending her flying into an elevator. There she met a clone or impostor of herself (who was much fancier and way more well-behaved), who stepped out of the elevator. She threw some kind of flammable into the elevator, setting it on fire with the real "Pluckietta" inside, while at the same time cutting the cable that held up the elevator, so that "Pluckietta" undoubtedly burned and/or plummeted to her death. Then the clone/impostor finds Pluckietta's mother, and the two of them have a better relationship with each other than did the original Pluckietta. Turns out this all was just some warped video game I was playing in the dream, because now there I am holding a Game Cube controller in my hand. I remember that I was griping about how the soft part of the control stick had fallen off again, and briefly tried to put it back on. Then I realized that it was actually easier to play without it. Sometime later, I was walking home from somewhere on a certain route I usually take when coming from my friends' houses. For some reason, there were these big, miniature hill-looking mounds on the grass behind the sidewalk, which blocked my view of the street. I passed by these three weirdos (I think they were emos) and at some points attempted to climb the 15-20ft high mounds, but I kept slipping down. As I got closer to the town bank, these mounds turned into tall hedges, which ended a few yards away from the bank. I emerged to the other side and accidentally knocked a section of hedge over, trying in struggle to put it back right. Then President Bush walked by and complained about how the way I had reassembled the hedge looked like the letter R. Then we each got out a set of laser-tag-like guns. I tried, for some reason, to shoot the ring on his finger, but he shot at my arm, which hurt, and he started laughing at me like I was stupid (in comparison to YOU? Ha!). So I shot him in the arm - over and over again. Eventually it killed him. Now there was to be a new president, and only one man could fill Bush's shoes - none other than Adolf Hitler, who was somehow still alive. He rose up and took his place as president. When I went to bed that night, this young boy who was staying with us kept wanting to come into my room. At one point I locked him out, wondering why he didn't just go bug Rachel. Some time later I got up, left and spied on Hitler from afar. There was a sort of "new swastika" he had placed upon the flag. Don't remember too much after that, other than Hitler (or one of his underlings) catching me spying on him and ordering me to go home, and for some reason I felt a strong compulsion to draw the original swastika on the wall (it seemed to me as though this might have insulted Hitler) before leaving.

So That's Where Doughnuts Come From

Firstly, I remember putzing around an apartment complex in some ghetto, where I guess I lived. The place was full of black gangsta guys. After I got to my own ghetto apartment, I went into my room and laid on my bed. After a while, my acoustic guitar, which wasn't in its case for some reason, started playing notes by itself. That pretty much freaked me out and I went to go get someone (my mom I think) and when I came back I tried to replicate the notes that it played. I also seem to remember learning about how custom boxes of doughnuts are made. I was on a balcony looking down into this big room where there were thousands of doughnuts (of all types) strewn across the floor, and ladies (my mom included) were just milling about down there, picking them and putting them in baskets as if they were picking flowers or something.

Forgive Me, Father, For I Know Not Why I Fap...

This second one was sort of odd. Jaron invited me and Slip to a sleepover at his house. We went over and probably did what we usually do, play video games, and stuff... I seem to remember watching some news report on his TV about how President Bush was "coming out of the closet". As soon as Slip fell asleep, Jaron went into the area connecting the downstairs bathroom with the garage. I think he thought I was asleep or something, but I sort of followed him in there, so I guess he didn't know I was watching him as he pulled out some pics of Vieras (a female race from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance) doing lesbian things. Then he went into the bathroom with those pics, and I just knew what he was about to do (which shocked me, since in real life he's this anti-masturbation-Nazi Mormon). Sure enough, behind the door I could hear the characteristic fap-fap-fap and I went to wake up Slip to tell him about it. He couldn't believe it. Then Jaron finished up, and he seemed to know that we knew, since he sorta broke down, weeping "Father would be so disappointed!" [Slip and I laughed our asses off after I told him about this part in waking life.] Then somehow I was at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, and the outer walls of the building were gone, so that I could see the night sky. Then I was Peter Griffin (from Family Guy) and I was racing Meg Griffin through the place as if it were an obstacle course. Then we found ourselves at a dead-end and were cornered by two zombie versions of ourselves. As Peter I said something stupid like "Hey look, Meg! Clones! Nyeheheheh!" As our zombie Doppelgängers began to bare down on us, one of those "Technical Difficulties" screens came down to censor the scene, but rather than hear pleasant music, you could hear the sound of the zombies eating our flesh and us screaming.

Swamp Water Blues

Not sure where it all started, but here goes. I remember fixing some old lady's... I don't know what the hell it was. Looked like a wooden toybox with two sections, one of which was filled with water. Anyway, Josh was there helping me; we were taking baseball bats out of the water-filled compartment and placing them in the dry one (for the water-filled one seemed to want to break apart with all the bats inside). Not sure what happened directly afterward. Later, I was living in some house surrounded by an evil-looking swamp - the sky was always black and the swamp water/sludge glowed a bright teal color. I remember watching some sort of cartoon which was like Invader Zim, but instead featured Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. Nny was piloting a ship through this space station in an attempt to blow it up or something, but the evil alien guy who was in control of the space station was pursuing him in his own ship. I remember the chase taking them through the inner infrastructures of the station. At one point, though, Nny was forced to flee for some reason. I was interrupted watching this by seeing that Rachel had lost her mind, being taken over by some evil spirit that came from the surrounding swamp. She went to school to terrorize the other kids. My mom told me to follow her to school to keep an eye on her. As I was leaving, she asked me something about why I didn't put on some fresh clothes. I remember retorting with something like "Well, it'd be pretty pointless for me to dress nice if I get eaten my a swamp zombie out there." Anyway, at the school (don't know what school it was, it was one of those sort of schools that is predominantly indoors) I was walking down halls and stuff, which were filled knee-deep with the glowing teal ooze from the swamp. There were not only zombies, but other monstrous horrors, many of which had numerous tentacles (a Japanese schoolgirl's worst nightmare). Then I was in space for some reason and was in an Arwing [I had played way too much Star Fox prior to having this dream], facing Leon in a dogfight, in pretty much exactly the same way as in Star Fox 2 (the "graphics" even looked similar). We were fighting in an asteroid field. Then he landed on a big asteroid and morphed his ship into it's "walker" form, and I did the same. We fought like that for a while before returning to the space dogfight. I eventually blew him up and won - however, my ship was then infected with the weird teal ooze from the evil swamp, and my ship, as though suddenly alive, turned into this half-organic, half-mechanical monster with a long tail that could fly and use all of my ship's original weapons. I assume I was about to unwillingly conquer mankind with it before I woke up.

I Wish I Could Sing Like You

So here I guess Gaia Online became more MySpace-like, and my German speaking friend, Engel, wanted further info from me (phone number, etc.). Then I was lying in this huge bed with Till Lindemann and another Rammstein member (can't remember whom) and Till was singing new song ideas and stuff. Then he stopped, wondering why he was singing for me, and I told him "Engel ist meine Freundin" ("Engel is my friend") and he was simply like "Ah..." and continued singing. Then I "woke up" to everybody celebrating my birthday in the living room. I was about 10 again for some reason, and I remember my mom was talking about my "fear of public toilets". Then I got a puppy as a present, but there was some girl there who I guess I liked, and so I gave it to her. Everyone was like "Aww..." and the girl's father, who was for some reason an anthropomorphic wolf or fox or something, seemed touched that I had... well, 'chosen his daughter' as it were.

Son of a Beach

First I dreamt about being at some beach. Upon getting in the water and submerging, I found that I could open my eyes and see perfectly clearly underwater. I could also breathe. The continental shelf sloped down a bit, and further below I could see what looked like a normal-looking area - a few houses and some warehouse - only underwater. Then it became some sort of game; there were different things down in the buildings and such that I would collect and bring back to the beach, all for a score. Don't remember too much besides that.

I Am the Ice King

In this one, Trent and I got into a fight over something. We were at some party at what seemed like my old apartment, and some people he knew came to take him home. He didn't want to go so soon, so he told me to ask them if he could stay. I told him I didn't want to. So he got angry with me and called me a jerk every chance he got whilst getting his things together. I retorted by calling him selfish, throwing a piece of ice from my drink at him. He came at me and I shoved his head in the freezer and closed the freezer door on his head as hard as I could, all the while saying something like "Oops, my hand slipped." I went into my old bedroom and he followed as if to hurt me, and I pinned him against the wall, holding a sharp, knife-like shard of ice against his chest, telling him to knock it off.

Would You Like Your Cards in a Bag or a Tin Can?

In this first dream there was a woman and her mother (who I think were Polgara and her mother Poledra) brought me to this weird cafeteria place. There were crane machines with snow globe prizes and big tin cans with packs of baseball cards inside. Eventually they took me out to a secluded area where they revealed to me that I was Belgarion himself. We went to this clinic-like place and I was told to stay put. Of course, being me, I got up and wandered around, bored. When they found me again, they were a little annoyed with me. Before we left, I remember realizing that if I were indeed Belgarion, I would be married to Ce'Nedra, and I wondered about what I was going to do about Amber.

I Believe I Can Drive...

In this one I went solo in the truck. [I was learning to drive in real life at the time I had this dream.] I came to a turnoff in the San Juan area and I knew then that I needed to make a U-turn. I didn't, though, because I was inexperienced and flat-out afraid to (there was an abnormal amount of traffic out in that area). I eventually parked, since I was out almost out of gas and there had been cops in the area writing tickets and stuff to discourage bad driving - there had apparently been a lot of (non-fatal) accidents in the area as a result of poor driving. I found a skateboard on the side of the road and rolled on my stomach (I'm not much of a skater) toward the nearest town - it was easy because it was all downhill, so I could just coast down. I eventually made it to a town that was predominantly Asian, looking for someone to help me. I got help from this Asian guy and next thing I knew, we were back at my apartment complex. We were in front of the last apartment on the north side, and Andrés hollered at me from the upstairs balcony, wanting me to check out this Styrofoam crossbow he made. For some reason, the Asian guy freaked out at the sight of it. As I began to leave the complex, Mike pulled furiously into the driveway with the truck, and mom came out of a nearby apartment. They yelled at me, but I yelled right back. Then when Mike turned away I chucked the keys at him. He was like "What the hell are you doing!?" and I said something to the effect of "Giving you your damn keys, jackass!"

Bender Should Not Be Allowed in My Dreams

Here a couple other people and I were sort of participating in some sort of race. The object was to explore certain areas (forests and temples and the like) and...I dunno, find specified artifacts and various other things before the other teams did so in their own areas. We traversed this beautiful forested area, with a flowing stream which came from a pond (we were careful to stay away from the stream, as there were black widows floating around in the water). We made our way up to a higher area by climbing trees and such. We made it to this temple area, where there were these evil forces that wanted us dead. We ran as they shot at us from various types of aircraft. On a side note, the sky was orange in this area. Then we saw Bender from Futurama, about to be disfigured like a Slinky, but we saved him and as he ran with us, he sort of regurgitated this oily black stuff on us, which protected us from whatever it was the enemy aircraft was shooting down at us. We escaped and I don't remember too much after that.

An All-Star Cast

Slip and I were in a mall-like area, where it was pretty dark. Can't remember much of anything except that this one woman was being chased down by the police. When she was cornered by a couple of cops, she shot one dead (this cop is played by Samuel L. Jackson) and wounded the other (played by Dave Batista). A cop (played by Bruce Willis) who was a friend of those cops, in a rage, disarmed the woman and beat the crap outta her. He took her to the highest security prison out there.

Over That Boy Hand!

Was in some city and it looked somewhat like a post-apocalyptic world. The sky was orange and hazy with pollution. I was running through back roads and alleys and such, running through a fast food restaurant drive-thru every now and then. I got to this open area where the enemy (that "big-dumb-robots" type of alien race) was clashing with a group of rebels - and they had captured the rebel leader's (a woman's) young son. I came in with some friends (whom I wouldn't know in reality) and blasted the warship, which was hovering nearby, with my charge-up blaster. It went down pretty quickly. Then I went after the robots that were holding the kid hostage. I blew most of them away, and I noticed his lifebar had shrunk, so I used some sort of healing energy on him. Then I finished off the rest before they could regroup and succeed in abducting the child.

More Anthro Fun

Dreamt I was playing Star Fox with my mom, of all people. Afterward, it was late at night and Slip called. I think it was about 11:00PM. He said he would be able to do stuff until about 3:00AM. [This is probably because Slip has a habit of coming over to my house pretty late in real life.] I asked mom and Mike about it, and they said they'd think about it, and they left to the store...you tell me what store is open at 11:00PM. Anyway, I went outside and headed downstairs (for some reason the TV remote was in my hand), but they hadn't left yet, so I pretended I was taking something down to the dumpster and then went back upstairs. Then, Slip and I were on what seemed like a San Francisco trolley, and we had swords (I dunno why, but mine looked like a wooden, unsharpened scimitar). We were fighting off monsters and crap that were trying to attack the back end of the trolley. Then I seemed to be Fox, and Krystal was there beside me. Wolf boarded the trolley so that he could give us some assistance. Krystal, who was wearing a bikini, slipped off her bikini bottom and Wolf howled pervertedly like Deputy Dawg. I snapped at her to put it back on and we eventually got off the trolley at Wolf's house. He apparently had a wife. I think Wolf got into it with her, though, because Krystal was in the kitchen making dinner and he made some comment about how "at least she doesn't burn the food."

I'm Betting $50 On the WE's

Remember something odd. I was with Garion and someone else when I got this crazy idea about getting myself killed and being brought back to life. So we went into the orchard near the apartment complex (which I guess had grown back) and there I detonated three little bombs in my pocket as Garion and the other guy shot at me. Then, instead of my body lying dead on the ground, it was Ce'Nedra's. Garion lost it and became suicidal, but no one would let him kill himself. Then I was at the house of the person who made the Dutch lesson Flash movie on DeviantArt, and I briefly played an overly difficult Zelda game involving Link's sword being able to talk. Then at some basketball game, this black dude wanted to become a coach, talking to this black coach about it. He said something to the effect of "I do have the athletic form of a coach," to which the real coach replied "Yes, that you do." Then he got a job coaching a team with Adam West (as he appears in Family Guy) as the head player, and the team was called the WE's. [This is likely modeled after the episode where he can't find all his Lite Brite pieces, only being able to spell Adam We and thus becoming confused of his own identity.]

Note: I forgot where these ones had been, otherwise I would have posted them with the other '06 entries.

This is What My Life is Like...On 'SHROOMS

I had a very strange recollection of dreams recently. The dream I remember most was about a conspiracy to shrink people to the size of action figures and send them into the house of this Ms. Trunchbull-like lady to scare her out of town. I was a part of that team. I don't remember too much about my team members, other than there were a couple girls (one of whom was a real rich-girl ditz) who were pretty nice, and a couple other guys who were also cool to me. So there were about five, probably six of us. When we were shrunk, each of us had our own power. I don't remember what everyone else's powers were (except that one of them could shoot lightning), but I didn't get a real power. So I had my sword (ironically, a Kokiri sword) shrunk as well so that I'd have SOME way of fighting at least. Some part of me wants to say there was a part on our way to this hag's house where we had to cross some lake on a raft, it being night or possibly in some cave, I'm not sure... it was just dark. When we arrived at the house, I suppose it was sunset, as the color of the house was tinted a sort of ugly orange, kind of like this one pic I saw of the sunset light on an Egyptian pyramid. I remember making the first move: I went in through what was either a hole under the house or more likely a small ventilation duct, and once I got out into the house, I found myself under a couch. It was a low-to-the-floor couch, so even at my size I had to crawl n' scoot to get out from under the couch. I remember sticking my foot out from underneath the couch, and immediately heard the dog of the house (which as I recall, was one of those runty dogs, as a pug) via his jingling collar, heading for the couch. I quickly withdrew my leg, went back out and told the others about the dog. As I remember, we found some other way in, leading us to what was perhaps the lady's bedroom, where she was not. So we supposed the lady was currently out of the house, which was correct, and the six of us just hung around and explored the room and such. After a while we went back and explored around outside the house, and I found what must have been a tiny version of the master sword, for it was, to an action figure-sized person like me, a normal-sized sword. Though I couldn't pull it from its pedestal. So I went back to tell the others about it, but the lady had come back, so we went toward the house to do our mission.. but apparently, the lady had anticipated our little (pardon the pun) operation or something - I couldn't possibly know how - so she sent out a bunch of soldiers our size to dispose of us. My friends got right on using their new powers, yet I was stuck fighting for my life with a weak sword. Then I remembered the Master sword and ditched the fight to go get it. I was able to pull it out this time, and I could just feel in my hands how much stronger it was. I went back to the battle and kicked ass. We eventually disposed of all the soldiers, leaving the lady defenseless, so she fled town, which was our goal. No more Trunchbull-like lady to...well, bully children and small people, I guess. So we were all re-enlarged once more, and my comrades got to keep their powers. It was well enough for me, because the master sword grew normal-sized with me, so I got to keep it. We all became pretty good friends afterward.

Old War Dogs

I also had a dream about the Mario brothers. Actually, they were like old men versions of themselves, and Mario was pretty fat. Mario and Luigi were at my house watching the cats while my family and I were out camping or something. As we were coming back from camping, I remember first starting off at San Benito Bank, and we were walking home from there, and the truck was behind us, following as I controlled it with a remote (weird, I know). Anyway, we got home and for some reason we were angry at Mario for.. I can't remember what. But Luigi we were great with. Anyhow, they left...the scene now switches showing them, me nowhere around. They were talking about old times. Luigi asked Mario if he remembered the old days, and there's a flashback of them, younger, falling from the sky. Probably because they were in the war (WWII) and they fell out of their planes. Then on the way down, Luigi's foot hit a magic, green fireball and Mario's hit a red one. With this, Luigi kinda blasted off toward the safety of a buildingtop like a rocket, and Mario did the same, hence showing the beginning of their unique jumping ability and fireball-shooting power. Back in the present, there was a WWII veteran passing by, and Luigi talked with him, getting into this big spiel about pride, honor, and tactic in the war, and how WWII was such a great cause (which I suppose it was, assuming they fought for the Allies and not the Axis). That's all I really remember.

Runefable...Fablescape...

The dream I had this night was very cool, I must say. It seemed as if I were the main character in a video game, which was a cross between Runescape and Fable... but only slightly Runescape, it was much more like Fable, especially my dream's "graphics" and "gameplay." I remember killing many a bad guy with my broadsword. >< Unfortunately, I can't remember too much else.

The Tombstone...Why is it Orange?

This dream wasn't as cool as the one that will come next, so...well, I dreamt that we went to San Jose as a family, to visit my dad's grave. It was this huge, wide, ugly looking tombstone that was, of all colors...orange. Why the hell are some objects in my dreams the very color I hate? Anyway, Rachel and some of her friends who were with us stayed in San Jose because of some band competition or something that would last all day, so mom, Mike and I went home. As soon as we got home, I remembered that Amber was living in San Jose currently [not in real life], and I had an overwhelming urge to see her. I dunno where mom and Mike went after that, but they were out of the house and the truck was still outside. I took the keys and said what the hell - if ever they caught me, I could always tell them that Rachel immediately wanted to come home and I had gone out to get her in their absence. Though I doubt that would work in the real world, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I drove to San Jose. I don't remember much of the drive to San Jose, in fact, I don't even think the dream showed me the way. One minute I was pulling out of the driveway, and the next moment I was driving through the cemetery's main path, noticing my dad's ugly orange tombstone on my left as I passed it. I drove to what seemed like a shopping center. Amber was inside one of the shops, that looked like a salon. She seemed pretty happy to see me, though she was acting a little strange. After spending a little while with her I told her I needed to go back to Hollister (I was worried sick that my parents had already found out about me), and I left. Now my quest was to look for Rachel and take her home with me (the sun was already setting so I knew A. I'm in deep crap with mom and Mike, and B. Rachel's band function must be over). I could never find her, though. I got in the truck and couldn't find the keys to save my life. I desperately looked for them thinking "gotta get home before they find out..." despite the fact that at that hour, they likely already knew. On my way back, I was driving on a bridge-like road with water on each side (kinda reminded me of the original F-Zero's 'Big Blue' track) and at that point, since for some reason there were no barriers on the sides of the bridge-like road, I lost control and went straight into the water, where I blew up like an F-Zero racer would. Then, as if it were a video game, I "restarted" back in the cemetery next to the ugly orange tombstone. That's all I can remember.

The Final Battle...NOT!

Here's the cool one. Kefka (main villain of Final Fantasy VI) was at it again, I suppose...He was obviously back from the netherworld and wreaking havoc that had once again drawn the attention of the heroes and heroines of FFVI. The mission: Get to Kefka's tower, setting up these electrical cables on the way (which I assumed must have been for running an electric current through Kefka tower's front door to disable the energy barrier that he erected around the place). It seemed to have started out miles away from the tower, however, and it was snowing. In fact, it was blizzarding. And there I was, on the team with them. Some of us, probably about half, were riding on what looked like high-tech...cookie platters. With little gleaming lights and buttons. Each went on one foot, so they were like skis...cookie platter skis. The way most characters interacted out on the skiing front kinda reminded me of how the X-Men (in the movies) interacted...all cooperative an' shit. The other half of the characters were riding what would seem to be some kind of air tram/trolley-looking vehicles (though they were on the ground...that is, snow), all heavily armored with a couple of small windows. For sure, I know Umaro (a big yeti) was driving one of those - perhaps the others who were riding their cookie platters didn't think he of all people was coordinated enough to handle them. I seem to remember Locke having a grand wipeout on his wannabe skis, landing him straight on his back. It was pretty funny, especially to some of the other members (namingly Celes, who helped him up, and me, since I don't really like him). A little further ahead, and the terrain turned into a narrow, ramp-like bridge that slanted up toward the elevated grounds of Kefka's tower at about a 40&#176; angle. It was about enough room for one tram-vehichle and one platter-rider beside it to go through at a time. How a skier could possibly go up at that angle, I'll never know. Perhaps it's the high-techness of the cookie platters we were riding. I went up alone on my platter (everyone else was still pretty far behind) and a tram-vehichle came past me in the opposite direction, and it was Umaro inside. I heard him openly lamenting something he regretted doing, I think, as he passed by. And in a civilized voice, too. In the dream, I had always seemed to have known that Umaro could really speak in a civilized voice and was, in fact, very intellectual - something he'd been hiding from the others for some reason. Then I got to the door of Kefka's tower. I took the electrical wiring that we had led all the way up there and wired it up to the door. Though I could see the electricity working on the door, I couldn't see anything dissolving the barrier. Then the rest of the team came up behind me and Relm was like "Where's Gau!?" Apparently, Gau was the only one who knew how to properly wire up those cords to dispell the barrier. Don't ask me why HE'S the one. All I could do was say "Beats the hell outta me!" So we all returned waaaay back to the very beginning where our snow base was hidden. When I got there, Umaro seemed to be explaining to them all in a civilized voice what had happened, and that he had taken Gau back with him to prevent him from wiring it himself for some reason (I can't remember the reason, exactly, but it did make sense). Everybody seemed more shocked that he could talk intelligibly than what he had done. I poked my head in the room where they all were and said something to the effect of "Hey, Umaro! My good buddy! How's it goin'?" and we gave eachother '5'. Then I continued: "I understand you had to take Gau back to prevent (such and such...) from happening, is that right?" Umaro said "Yes, friend, that is correct. Perhaps now that we know how to do things for sure, we can get down to the real thing and bring it to Kefka." I responded "Damn right, dude! But let's not keep Kefka waiting - as I seem to recall, he claim's he's not a waiter." Then I popped back out, followed by Umaro, Gau, and a shocked everyone-else, to make another run. That's where I woke up. Cool dream. [Just so you know, this was the dream that pretty much augmented my interest in FFVI from 'cool' to 'worshipful'.]

Time to Kick Some Shiny Metal Ass!

Liked this dream. I remember at one point I was in a dimly lit classroom with a bunch of younger kids and it was almost time for class to get out. The teacher was holding them up because there had been some class activity in which little wooden letters were used, and they were all over the floor; the teacher wanted everyone to pick up the letters he or she had used. It was easy for me, for I was the only one advanced enough to be using Cyrillic letters anyway. I remember thinking something about how the letters и and н look so similar (at least in the Times New Roman look of the wooden letters). After all that, I went to what I presume was Polgara's house and started talking with her. She was very friendly and a good artist, showing me her drawings. I can't help but notice now that the captions or signature or whatever the writings on her drawings were seemed to have been written in an alphabet I've never seen before. Then I wandered off and found two rooms, and suddenly I knew there was a decision to make. One room held powers of great darkness (the room on the left, unsurprisingly), and the other held powers of the light. A bit out of character, perhaps, I chose the light. (I remember actually going into both rooms just to examine - there were candles with dark blue flames in the dimly-lit room of darkness, and normal-seeming candles in the well-lit room of light.) Polgara seemed utterly surprised that I had been the one to find the rooms, and was delighted that I had chosen the "right" or "good" side. (Meh. Be grateful, Polgara; in rizzle-life, I so would have chosen the darkness.) Anyway, time passes; in other words, I can't remember what happened right after that. Polgara and I and a few other guys - perhaps one of which was good ol' Slip, but I couldn't tell - were in our neighborhood on E. Park street, outside what would have been my bedroom window to my old apartment. As we looked up there, the light was on, and I just knew Belgarath was up there. He seemed to be battling someone with will and word, but there were surprisingly few thunderous booms and explosions, if any at all. It was night, a very dark one at that, and for no known reason, the neighborhoods were in total chaos. For some reason, the people from our apartment complexes and the houses that line Rancho drive had an air of unity about them, and were helping each other out as best they could in the chaos. Some of the guys who were with Polgara and me set off to do other things, but I told them I was going back into our complex to see if any children got left behind, and, if not, to bring toys etc. from children's' rooms to the 'relief center,' or simply one big house where everyone was ultimately to meet up in light of this crisis. Polgara seemed to approve my intentions, and that sorta made me feel good. So, I gathered an armful of children's junk from various apartments and sprinted across E. Park street, across Rancho drive, and into the relief center. Many of the children did seem rather appreciative, actually. I remember thinking about asking Polgara if perhaps she could come back with me as I made another toy run, but I decided it better if I just checked some of the houses lining Rancho drive. It was the first house I entered that it happened. Upon entering (the fluorescent-lit atmosphere within seemed slightly green-tinted), I saw a battered woman and her battered young daughter cowering in a corner, and who I presume was the father (who had a bucket-like implement over his head) was standing over them, perhaps with a blunt object in hand with which to...I dunno, batter them some more? That's when The Jay Within came out (*Queen's Eye of the Tiger starts playing*). Suddenly I felt nothing but an overwhelming urge to kick some shiny metal ass...which I did. I beat the tar outta the mo'fo', giving the woman and her daughter time to escape to the relief center. It seemed that after that point it was all a bit like a video game or something, so afterward I reloaded again and again to the point before that fight to see how many different ways there were that I could kick this guy's ass. ^_^ I seem to remember doing a lot of punching, elbowing and kneeing to the stomach. And then I awakened. Rather nice dream.
