Bee infestation! Wait...Am I the only one who cares!!??

Friday 1st August 2008

The house was infested with bees. I became hysterical and started screaming, running around, batting them away with my hands.

I ran into the kitchen, where my sister, Stephanie was. I was still worried that i'd get stung, as the kitchen was also infested.

Stephanie didn't seem to mind, only telling me to calm down. She herself, was utterly calm.

I ran back into the living room, and bees were all over the chairs.

I ran outside, screaming.

A bad start to college! Endurance of 17 hours!

Saturday 2nd August 2008

It was my first day of college, however before I headed there, I decided to visit a shop. Oddly, an old primary school friend, named Elora was with me. We browsed for a while, surveying the shelved fleetingly before leaving empty handed.

Later, I arrived at college; I sat down at a desk and I suddenly came to the unfortunate realisation that'd I hadn't brought a note book with me. I raised my hand and notified the teacher -- Giving me a stare of disappointment, she handed me an A5 piece of pink paper.

I began to grow extremely annoyed at myself for not picking a note book up at the shop I'd visited earlier.

Suddenly, the scene seemed to change into a different classroom. Two high school friends, Daryll and Ross were sat at one of the tables, and the teacher began to hand out A3 sheets of paper -- on them, a Geography puzzle. It was something involving measuring motorways which were indicated on the map with red lines.

I attempted the puzzle. I tried to measure it in every way I could think of but just couldn't do it. The teacher towered over me from behind and helped me with it.

Ross later mentioned the words, "big wave" which was, bizarrely, the answer to the puzzle. There was a huge answer box at the bottom of the sheet to write it in. Ross recieved praise and countless "well dones" for getting the answer.

I began to get worried again because I didn't have a note book -- the thought popped into my mind of leaving the school grounds and lunch time to go and pick one up from the shop.

I then turned around to my friend, Sarah who was sat next to me and asked her how many lessons we had that day.

To my horror, she replied, "17."

However, none of us had timetables to follow, and had no idea where we were supposed to be heading next.

And as if on cue, a woman walked in carrying a pile of A3 sheets with timetables printed on them. Promptly, she directed students to their classes. But for some reason, some students, including myself remained in that classroom.

My friend Larissa was sat on one of the chairs at a desk, and another friend, Kestrel was sat under the window, on the floor.
I continued to worry over having no note book, so I approached Kestrel and asked her for 5 sheets of A4 lines paper from her book.

She lifted up her pad, and on the first page there was a pencil drawing scribbled on it. She added a few more lines to it, and I gre frustrated because we didn't have much time before next lesson - we'd be late!

I hurried her and I got the paper.

Computer Troubles! I need some Privacy!

Saturday 2nd August 2008

In mine and my sister's bedroom there were 3 PC's -- two where they usually are, at opposite ends of the room, and a third in the middle of the room near our bunk bed, on the floor.

Stephanie was on one of them, I was on the other -- we were back to back, and no one occupied the one on the floor.

I was visiting various sites and writing word documents, looking behind me every now and then to see my sister.

Something then happened to my computer and it suddenly logged out. Confused, I logged back in and the third computer was now on. It had two small, minimised wondows opened in the middle of the desktop.

I moved the cursor on the computer I was using, then looked around to the other computer -- it was mimicking the cursor movement I was making on the computer I was actually using! Anything I did, any files or sites I looked at all appeared on the other computer.

I attempted to rectify the problem. Something popped up to notify something was being installed but oddly, it wasn't in English, eveything but the words, "I agree" were written in something like Japanese Kanji or Chinese.

I clicked on random options to see what would happen.

I then said to Stephanie, "It wants me to install something."

To which Stephanie replied, "You best just close it, then."

Help me! Get me away from him!

Sunday 3rd August 2008

I was in some sort of boarding school, and a new, male student arrived. Myself, him and another student sat at a table for a while and chatted.

Later, it was time for bed. The fact that I had to share a room wasn't strange, however, the fact that I had to share a single bed with this male student.

I lay beside him, teetering on the edge of consiousness, when the next thing I know he whispers, "Can I touch your boobs?"

And, cheekily, he reached over and grabs one of them, sqeezing it tight.

Distraught and frantic, I leaped out of bed and glared at him. In return he gave me a smug, self satisfied grin. I immediately burst into tears. I told him that I was going to the bathroom, and he became worried that I'd tell someone what had happened-- but I left for the bathroom regardless.

I stand sobbing in the bathroom doorway, eying the bedroom door, watching for me to come after me -- and he did walk out. He notices that I see him coming.

"I knew you'd come and check up on me!" I yell at him frantically.

He scowls and storms back into the bedroom. I then spot another bathroom on the opposite side of the hallway. Golden light seeping out of the space of the ajar door. I dash across the hallway towards it, shouting, "help me! help me! Please help me,"

A young male and female were stood at the sink. They turned around to face me; their faces were amazingly friendly. They both had black hair and wore black clothes. They run over to me from the sink asking with genuine concern in their voices, "Whats wrong? What's wrong!?"

I whisper to them through gritted teeth and tears, "Please help-- he'll kill me. He's going to hear me -- he'll come get me!!"

I remember thinking to myself, 'what could they possibly do to help?"

I walked out of the bathroom and noticed the bedroom door was closed. I stood remembering that my cousin Chloe was in one of the rooms next door, and another cousin, Gary was strangely curled up sleeping in the hallway.

I headed back towards the other bathroom on the other end of the hallway, but to my surprise it was no longer a bathroom, but a bedroom, my brother's bedroom.

I climb into bed (which was empty) feeling violated and frightened -- expecting him to burst through the door any minute wanting to cop another feel, or worse.

The next minute I know, I'm in the gym which looked exactly like my old primary school's gym. There were two or three trampolines lined up, I was bouncing on one of them. I noticed there was a woman jumping on and over the trampoline wearin stilts. I looked around and noticed that many other women were doing aerobics and jumping around on their magnificently long, red and white stilts.

I begin to leave the gym, navigating my way through a sea of stilts -- almost getting hit once or twice.

Suddenly, the scene changes again, and the gym is now filled with tables. People were flooding in, filling up the seats quickly. I sit down and burst into tears again, remembering what happened.
My sister then arrived, and I tell her about the guy groping me.

(Note:- I literally woke up scared because of this, It's the first nightmare I've had in ages.)

-------------------------------------------------------------

Of Sausages and catsuits!

Sunday 3rd August 2008

I was stood in the kitchen of an old house I used to live in, with my mum. She was cooking sausages — She commented on them being really nice and “usually only served in nursing homes.”

I break one of the sausages open, and something that looked like bean juice seeped out from within it.

At that moment, someone walked into the kitchen carrying a black catsuit which donned a white belt; it looked quite big in size. My mum hung it up and said, “the poor girl is just too big busted.”

Sanba Banba Festival! Witness the rainbow filled sky!

Tuesday 5th August 2008

After our cousin, Janet falls asleep, myself and my sister, Stephanie leave to go to our mum's house.

Upon arrive, we sit down and start watching TV with our mum and Uncle Alan. The program we were watching featured two girls walking through water which had flooded the room they were in. One of them was wearing a T-shirt saying, "Every one-PEACE!" in yellow and red letters, and was wearing black sandals with a picture of Luffy on the inside.

We then decide to have something to eat, however I begin to feel guilty because we were supposed to be on a diet. Therefore, me and Stephanie both scramble to throw any leftoevers away; I remember throwing a piece of bread in the bin.

The scene then skips to me being in a huge canteen, filled with tables and people eating at them. I was now with my friend, Sarah, and we were both late for lunch. The tables were emptying quickly- people were already finishing!

Nonetheless, myself and Sarah take a seat at a table which had two or three read markings painted atop it - they looked like thick brush strokes.

Sarah then stands up, taking a booklet with her, she begins complaining to a nearby teacher who was sat down on a chair to the left of us.

However, because we were late the tables turned from white to black, still baring the red markings. Unfortnately, because we were late we weren't served.

Later, we were outside, and festival was taking place, in a huge field.

I was looking up to the almost cloudless sky, where the first signs of night were starting to emerge. Nevertheless, beautiful rainbows kept appearing in the sky; the colours were extremely vibrant - glowing, even! I took out a camera to get a picture of them. I lay down on my back on the grass, however I moved the camera before the flash went, and I didn't get a picture of the rainbows.

Undaunted, I try again, and a friend, Daryll appeared next to me to my right. I attempted to take another picture of the other rainbows.

Oddly, as I was about to take a picture, the rainbow formed into two aeroplanes -- one with two red lights and another with two red lights.

Daryll was then looking through a sketchpad with various drawings in it. He begins praising them. Behind us,Janet was under a canopy on a random couch, sleeping soundly.

For some reason, me and Daryll grabbed her legs and she slowly woke up.

[Dream Fragment] Bad hair day

Wednesday 6th August 2008

I was sat at a computer at school, and a group of girls were making fun of my hair and saying it was a mess.

[Dream Fragment] Fish attack!

Thursday 7th Agust 2008

Sanji was tied with ropes onto a water ski, and so was Robin -- They rode with the Thousand Sunny while Sanji chucked Clams in front of him and Robin threw fish.

Results Day!

Friday 8th August 2008

I was walking towards the school building -- towards the reception doors. It was results day, and I felt very excited that the day had finally arrived!

I walked inside and there was a group of teachers there to greet everyone.

It was time to pick up the results, I begin to walk towards a door to get them and everything faded.

[Dream Fragment] Disguise?

Thursday 14th August

I was sat in a car, in the passenger seat -- There were four other people in there, one next to me, and two in the back. I had never seen these people before in my life, but I appear to know them well.

I put on a pair of glasses made of red and black bendy straws, and it had the effect of holding a pair of binoculaurs the wrong way round; everything seemed really far away.

(Note: - Haven't been remembering a lot of dreams lately - every time I woke up from a dream, I'd remember them, however I didn't have the energy to write them down because I was too tired. Therefore I fell asleep and upon awakening, I didn't remember them anymore.)

I know those sorts of dreams. Has results day come for you yet? I hope you didn't waste too much time worrying about it.

Not yet. @_@ It's next Thursday, and I'm finding it hard not to think about it pretty much every day...

This dream decided it wanted to be extra real so I'd wake up extra annoyed... >.>;

Zero Gravity! A strong bond emerges!

Friday 15th August 2008

I was in a park that's near a house I used to live in. I was running across the grass and the path in order to do a huge leap to jump over the swins themselves -- I jumped really high and I felt weightless like there was no gravity when I did. As I ran, I often did forward flips, too.

Sometimes I didn't jump high enough to make it over, so I just ended up grabbing the pole at the top, then letting go to try again.

Three people then occupied three of the swings and there ws one free -- but the free one had been chucked over the bar so no one could go on it. Nevertheless I carried on jumping right over the swings and the poles. I thought that the zero gravity feeling felt amazing.

At that moment, three girls walked across the path holding tickets in their hands. I approached them adn appear to know them well.

"Where are you going?" I ask them.

"We've got tickets to a lesbian wedding." One of the girls answered, handing one of the tickets in her hand, "You coming?"

I scoffed, "Tch, why would someone go to wedding when they don't even know the people getting married?"

I placed the ticket on the floor, and the girls went on their way.

Meanwhile, three men were making their way into the park, one of them was wearing a priest's white cloak and a thick gold chain, while the other two were wearing slighty greyed white tops. The priest had thin, sort, grey hair and stubble on his old looking face, and the other two had short, black hair.

Suddenly, the four of us ended up in a bedroom. The three of them were trying to catch a naked person that was crawling speedily around the floor, but to no avail. The person's naked bottom stuck out from under the bed and times then completely disappeared under it as they fled from the three frustrated men.

I sat on the bed, amused, and stopped the three in their tracks and began,

"You know what makes me think you guys have a strong bond?"

They looked at me, inuqisitively.

I continued, "You're a priest, who is a catholic," I pointed to the priest, I then moved my finger to point to the chubbier man, "What are you?"

"A sausage maker," He answered quickly.

"And what are you?" I ask again.

"A luff." He answered enthusiastically.

I asked the third man what he was, but I don't remember clearly what he said.

But I continued, "I just think that those are the things that keep you guys bonded and close together."

(Note: - Now that I'm awake, the part where he announces he's a luff, doesn't make a single bit of sense! It made sense in the dream, though! A luff (pronounced "Loof") is described as the following in a dictionary, "to bring the head of a sailing ship closer to or directly into the wind, with sails shaking.")

My favourite game. What does a sausage maker, a luff and a Catholic have in common?

Catholic "Of broad or liberal scope; comprehensive: “The 100-odd pages of formulas and constants are surely the most catholic to be found” (Scientific American).
Including or concerning all humankind; universal: “what was of catholic rather than national interest” (J.A. Froude)."

Sausages are squeezed, constricted objects containing flesh and blood. Catholic priests squeeze the universal into the flesh and blood of Christ in the ritual of Mass.
And a Luff as sailing could mean to bring the ship in line with doctrine in the way that a sausage maker shapes meat or a catholic shapes the universal.

Luff is also a surname, meaning "Love".

So we have three types of answers. Catholic = a religion. Sausage Maker = a profession. Luff = a family name.

They could all be Luffs and they could all be Catholics. There's a bond there, if they are all catholics they all need the priest, if they are all family they all need a Luff (in that they need someone who is enthusiastic about the family connection and love) and they are all going to need sausages. These three people, with their three disparate ways of viewing their identity, need each other.

Also. Please don't worry about results. I know its hard. Good luck. I honestly do wish you all the best.

Wow! That's a spectacular interpretation! Never would I have ever of thought of thinking of it that way! It's awesome, and so interesting to think about, thank you so much! : D

And I'll try, hopefully if I do, I'll stop dreaming of school so much! xD Thank you so much for wishing me good luck, I really appreciate your support! : )

Saturday 16th August 2008

I haven't actually slept at all, and I'm absolutely shattered. Obviously I haven't had any dreams, but I did have some experiences.

~ Key ~
Sleep paralysis
Hypnogogic/Hypnopompic hallucinations

I lay absolutely still in bed after going to bed at around 10:00PM. Later, I began to feel tingling sensations running up and down my body; I ignored every itch and didn't allow myself to get distracted by any noise. I soon began to feel weightless yet heavy at the same time. It felt as though my arms just wanted to float up into the air. When I looked at the top bunk, it was shaking from side to side. Unfortunately, I think my mind was just too awake, and on top of that, I could hear my brother's music playing, the Guinea Pigs sqeaking in a fight and and on top of all that, I really needed to pee.

By this time it was 11:20PM. I went to the bathroom, then back to bed to try and get to sleep.

Everytime I was about to doze off, I heard a strange noise, can't remember what the first noise was, but the second was a random, out of tune, tune that sounded like an old mobile phone ring tone. (All these noises were happening in the room, so I know that they were in my head.) Again, trying to sleep, I heard my sister's voice shout clearly, "Nicole!" and my eyes snapped open. It certainly wasn't my sister, or anyone else for that matter. (My sister is visiting her boyfriend in a totally different part of the UK!) Then, I felt the end of my matress dip down (and heard the springs sqeak) as if someone had sat on it.

My body starts to feel really heavy, and I could see flashing, dots and streaks of lights. I didn't like this, and ended up getting out of bed, again. Looking at the clock, it was now 12:15AM.

I decided to stay up, and watch a movie, which I did. I watched the first hour of it, and decided to try and get back to sleep. But to no avail. My body just kept feeling heavy and getting tingling sensations (at one point I heard a buzzing noise, and felt a vibration in my foot.) I was still extremely tired, but everytime I closed my eyes, something like a bang, anything, really would make them snap straight back open.

This is where I decided just to get up and watch the rest of the movie. That finished at about 4:00AM. I decided to give sleep one last try, but I just kept feeling heavy, especially my head.

So I just got up again, and have been wandering around and browsing the net. It's now 5:40AM and I've just got to the point where I'm absolutely shattered but feel wide awake at the same time. Even so, I'm really light headed...

I'm twenty-two. I haven't been to my old school since... 2002. And I still dream about it at least twice or three times a week! I dreamt about it tonight, in fact. So, yeah. I know how having to go to school in your dream feels. Argh.

I guess I might be stuck with it, then! haha!! xD

And as if on cue, I had another dream which was school related last night. xD

[Dream Fragment] Chocolate bars

Sunday 17th August 2008

I went into high school and I saw my history teacher and gave him a chocolate bar. He thanked me but I was worried about what he'd think of me because I had a bigger chocolate bar than the one I gave him.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Enrichment courses! Hurry up, we're gonna be late!

Sunday 17th August 2008

I was sat looking at a leaflet with enrichment course options from my chosen college. (I had plenty of chances to realise I was dreaming here, but I was still none the wiser!) One of the options was Karate, and in reality, they don't do karate. But on this leaflet, it had the word in bold, sky blue letters and underneath it there was a huge article.

I thought to myself, "Hey, they didn't have karate before..."

I imagined myself being able to fight with agility and strength with lethal kicks. I loved the sound of it, but then thought to myself, 'Ugh...This one is probably already filled up...I'm probably too late...hmm...what about self defense?'

Suddenly, I was in college with my sister, Stephanie and our dad. Dad had said that he needed to go somewhere for 9:30pm and me and Stephanie needed to be back at college for 9:45pm. (This is interesting to me, because my enrollment interview for college is actually at 9:45am)

We went back home, and we waited for while. This part of the dream was a blur until I was called into the kitchen to look at the time. The clock showed 10:45pm and I started to stress out because we were late.

Stephanie calmed me down, "Don't worry, the college is closing at 11:20pm we still have time."

Dad gave me a handful of silver coins, like 5, 10, 20 and 50 pence coins, and me and Stephanie left to go to college.

When we got there, we walked into a classroom and students were putting money in to a huge tray the teacher was holding at the front of the class. I walked over to it, and looked down, everyone else's coins were piled up neatly into seperate piles and I just proceeded to throw mine in the tray with zero care. The coins rattled on the bottom of the tray, and I went to sit down.

[Dream Fragment] Burning

Monday 18th August 2008

A pile of logs were on fire, like people would do at a camp fire. Small fire sparks were flying off it.

Unlocked emotions! Comfort the silhouette in the doorway!

Tuesday 19th August 2008

I was stood in the kitchen of the house, and I was pacing back and forth across the length of the room. I suddenly stopped at the doorway, and looked down the hallway to peer at the main door of the house, and saw the key hole go dark. Someone was putting a key into the lock.

I had no idea who it could possibly be, so I left them to struggle with unlocking the door and went into my bedroom and lay in my bed.

The bedroom was pitch black. This was until golden light flooding in from the hallway revealed the silhouette of a person. The person who was having apparent trouble with unlocking the door had finally let themselves in. It was my cousin, Janet.

I looked over at her, and she appeared to be upset.

"Janet," I whispered gently, while beckoning her over to me to comfort her.

She began to walk up to me.

[Dream Fragment] Look up!

Wednesday 20th August 2008

I was walking up to my friend's nana's house, and I heard a voice shouting,

"Hey! I'm up here!"

I looked up at a window at my left and my friend's nana was in a completely different house, waving at me from the window.

[Dream Fragment] Green paper

Thursday 21st August 2008 (AKA RESULTS DAY!)

I was sat in the living room of a house we used to live in, and my dad was sat in front of me holding a pile of paper. He was telling me that I shouldn't draw pictures on green paper.

Yeesh. Well done! Thats really good. Good luck with sixth form.
