Thanks. I pay great attention to detail when I'm awake so I guess it is natural for me when I'm asleep as well. Also when I'm writing down my dream in the morning I may only remember a small segment, but then as I near the end of the segment I remember two or three parts that come next until I'm done with the dream no longer remember the dream.
July 14th, Sunday
The Concert: A Night of Annoyance Setting(s): Saint Louis, Missouri, A club venue, elementary school parking lot, my house.
Characters: Brian (Best Friend), Jen (Friend), Danny (Younger Brother), Mrs. Hoffman (Teacher), Nicole (Girl at School).
Dream Characters: Tracy
Time of Day: Sunset - Night
I was sitting in my living room on my couch watching King of the Hill. I was waiting for my friend Brian to pick me up for a My Chemical Romance concert. I wondered why we were going, neither of us are fans of the band. I didn't mind going though, I didn't have to pay for it. I opened up my cellphone to see if he had left any messages. He didn't. I was concerned that we would miss the concert if he was not on the way to pick me up. I slumped back into the couch when my dog started barking at the door. I assumed Brian was at the door. I opened the door only to find Brian standing outside next to Jennifer.
I was surprised Jen was coming and Brian's girlfriend was not. I didn't bother asking any questions. I greeted them and stepped outside. I was excited to get into the car, I had burnt a new CD to listen to on the way to the car. Brian seemed solemn and Jennifer seemed excited about it.
I don't remember what happened next, I assume we got to the club and got in. I don't remember the car. I wonder if I even dreamed about it or my brain got lazy and skipped to the good parts.
The club was dark and small. I doubt that the club could hold over 60 people yet there were nearly 80 or so people crowded around the stage. I was sitting at a long table close to the front of the stage which was only three feet off the ground. The music wasn't My Chemical Romance at all but some band I had never heard before. Brian and Jennifer weren't at my table, they were across the room close to the stage. I don't know why we got separated. I sighed, disappointed that I wasn't over there with them. I didn't attempt to walk over to them as there was quite a large crowd in between us. I was feeling anxious as to why they weren't hanging out with me. I quickly forgot about that when a middle aged woman started a conversation with me. She had a medium build and was about twenty pounds overweight. I didn't like the vibe I got from her, though I continued talking to her. Her hair was turning gray, I noticed this detail but tried not looking at her hair and focused on her words.
She did not give me her name, but when I was writing down this dream the name Tracy popped into my head, so I will call her Tracy.
She was talking about kids and the society they were being brought up in. I wasn't very interested in her view points and quickly became bored. Somehow we started talking about me. I bullshitted about being a straight A student, and bullshitted about many other aspects of my life and world views. I didn't feel like getting into an argument with her. Her views were clearly the opposite of mine and if I wasn't in such a depressed mood I probably would have punched her in her throat.
For some reason my behavior in my dreams never mirror my behavior in life. Part of me must know it is a dream because I usually break, punch, and kill people in my dreams. No harm no foul right? I'm very curious as to finding out more about my dream behavior. I will have to take more notes on it.
She eventually came to the conclusion that I was a great kid. She had a snobby atmosphere around her. She asked if I would like to participate in a Straight A+ Student Program of some sorts. I politely declined and she seemed to take some offense to it. I came to the conclusion that she was a board member or the creator, she acted as if it was the end all be all. We stopped talking for awhile, I was relieved. I ate some food at the table and stood up to see where my friends were. They were still standing in the same spot having a good time. I was regretting coming to this concert and sat back down. I would have had more fun at my house listening to music I like.
Hours passed in a matter of seconds. The club was nearly cleared out. There were maybe fifteen people crowded around the stage. Brian and Jennifer were standing in the same spot. I was glad I didn't have to wade through a crowd to get to them. I stood up and walked over to them. I asked if they were having a good time and they nodded. Then Dead! by My Chemical Romance started playing. I was happy that there would be some music that I am familiar with. Only ten seconds into the song the crowd, all fifteen of them, were booing. I didn't boo, I just watched. There was a good ten seconds of booing before the band continued to play. Instead of questing why they were booing I just looked at Brian. We both busted out laughing. After we were both wiping the tears from our eyes Brian said we were leaving. I nodded in agreement and walked over to my table to grab my stuff.
At the table I had left my Ipod, cellphone, wallet, and cash all over the table. I crossed each item off of my mental checklist when I had grabbed all of my stuff I walked back to where Brian and Jen had been standing. They were gone.
Surprisingly all of my money was there. Strangely, now that I think of it I don't have a slight clue who else was sitting at the table. I really wish I had remembered some faces but all I could remember was Tracy. Atleast I didn't drop my Ipod in water like in a few of my other dreams, I mean nightmares.
Next thing I knew I was outside of the building. It was dark outside. and in the parking lot were a line of school buses. Loads of people were filing onto the buses. I was annoyed that Brian and Jennifer hadn't waited for me. I looked in the school bus windows, trying to spot Brian and Jennifer. They were no where to be found and the buses had filled quickly. I was left alone with a small group of other people. I watched the buses depart and then moved to the group of other people. I saw my brother Danny and approached him. He saw me too and blurted out, "Whats up nigga?".
I immediately through him a devilish look as a group of black girls from my school were standing right behind him. I was embarrassed and frustrated with my younger brothers mouth. Nicole approached us and asked him if he used that word all of the time. A simple NO would be the perfect answer so I answered for him, afraid that his answer would be something equally embarrassing and offensive. Nicole then told me that that word didn't bother her and just walked back to her group of friends. I was relieved but also aware that she was being very out of character. She is responsible for multiple rants about white people at school. Just to make sure, I told Danny that I was going to punch him in the face when we got home. I made sure to say it loud enough so that Nicole could hear me.
My brother Danny does in use that "term" a lot to describe me and his friends. He isn't racist or anything he has just adopted it into his language. Even though I haven't and I listen to more Rap than he does.
Danny silently walked past me and I turned around to see Mrs. Hoffman standing six feet behind me. It had been the first time I turned around since I had "teleported" outside. I was standing outside of my elementary school. I drew a breath of relief, we could easily walk home from here. The distance from the elementary school to my house is about 1/12th of a mile. I ignored Mrs. Hoffman and began to walk past her when she stopped me.
Mrs. Hoffman is a librarian at my high school. I'm not sure why she was at my elementary school.
She asked me where I was going. I told her that the walk home was short. At first she wasn't going to let me go but I eventually convinced her. She asked us to call her when we got home to let her know we made it safely. I could literally see my house from where I was standing so I just nodded even though I had no intention to call her. I began the short trek home down the gravel path. Danny was no where to be found. I didn't care, I just assumed he went ahead of me. The breeze was cool and I was enjoying it. I was finally able to relax after a night of bullshit, well I was almost able to laugh.
Tracy came bounding down the path towards me. I was growing more than annoyed with her but I held any negative remarks back. She began talking to me about her A+ Student Program. I politely declined once again and she grew defensive. I had a feeling I was no longer her friend and that she was observing me. She followed as I walked through my back yard and then through my backdoor. I was happy that I was finally home but that only lasted for a moment. Tracy stepped through the back door into the kitchen right behind me. She continued talking and I pulled out left over Chinese food from the previous night. I warmed it up and began devouring its goodness. Once again that only lasted for a moment.
Tracy asked me what I was eating. I replied, "Chinese.". She nodded and then commented about it not being very healthy. I agreed with her and told her that I normally eat healthy. She tried to inspect what was inside of the food pantry but for some reason the refrigerator was in front of it. I felt that I was becoming a target of some kind of investigation. She started asking me more questions about my life at home and how I like it here. I had the feeling that she was going to try and take me away from my family. She asked about my Dad and I explained that he worked late hours. Each question made me more defensive. I was trying to think of a way to get rid of Tracy.
Then I woke up. Thank God,
After Thoughts / Other Thoughts
I was woken up by my cell phone ringing and no matter how annoyed I was I answered it. It was my friend Brian. As weird as that may be I figured he would be calling me, we were going to go biking later that night. As soon as I hung up the cellphone I took my dream notebook into the living room and began writing down the dream. My last dream only took up a page and a half. This one took up three pages and I was quite surprised at that fact.
As far as the actual dream goes I had a feeling that if it lasted much longer I would have literally kicked Tracy out of my house. At first I didn't think this dream was worth recording but I'm damn glad that I did because it turned out to be pretty interesting for me at least. It also turned out to be pretty long. Hopefully tonight I will have 2 dreams and record both of them.
Also I'm going to try doing a reality check everytime I walk through a door. I only did it twice today, hopefully tommorow will be a huge improvement.
Interpretation
My Chemical Romance: I listened to one of their CD's earlier that day. I wasn't a huge fan before listening to their CD and I'm still not but they have a few OK tracks.
Concert: I went to a Rush concert last month, it was my first concert and I've been aching to go to a second concert.
Brian: He is one of my best friends so I can't say I'm surprised he is in my dream.
Jen: She is a pretty good friend and I think she is a MCR fan, that might explain a lot.
Tracy: I watched an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer last night before I went to bed. It revolved around an obnoxious person with authority. I think Tracy adopted this personality.
All My Stuff Lying on the Table: When I come home and walk into my room I drop my cellphone, wallet, loose cash, watch, and ipod onto my desk. When I leave I grab all of those things it is a habit.
Danny's Foul Mouth in Public: He has dropped some embarrassing words before in public, luckily nobody around has heard them. I could say this is one of my current fears so I'm not surprised this came appeared in my dream.
Chinese Food: We had left overs in the fridge and had plans to eat it when I woke up. Guess I was hungry and couldn't wait that long.
Elementary School: I'm still lost to why I still have dreams about this school. I dream about this school all of the time. I wish I knew an exact number, at least I'm logging my dreams so I will be able to find a pattern and maybe determine while I'm spending so much time in here.
Friends Ditching Me: I used to have a lot of social anxiety and I still have a little bit once in a while. One of my fears would be getting ditched.
Nicole: Girl from my highschool, probably the one person that would raise the most fuss over my brother saying something wrong. I see why my subconscious picked her, she is the female Jesse Jackson.
Mrs. Hoffman: I have two book reports I have to turn into her by the end of the summer.

Should I be censoring any bad language out of these dream posts?
