After two nights of zero recall, early this morning proved to be my best dream recall yet. I woke up at around 5:30 (remembering nothing ) to attempt WILD, but my environment was too distracting, so I gave up and eventually fell asleep around 6. About every 30 minutes after that until 8:30 I woke up and recorded a dream -- that's FIVE dreams in total!
I'll skip the shortest ones and type out the longest three.
14 Days, 10 Weeks
January 11, 2009
My dad was driving with me in the car down an extremely narrow New York City street, and there were tons of squirrels and pigeons. There were dozens at any one time -- on the streets, in the trees, on the buildings, everywhere! We turned into a lawn in front of a building and parked behind a sofa there. I think I was nervous because I thought we were trespassing. I step out of the car and I'm on a walkway in front of a totally different-looking house than the ones were were parking near. My dad is talking to the woman who answered the door, and he says that something happened (maybe they first met, or last met) "14 days, 10 weeks ago." October 19? Doesn't ring a bell. I was trying to figure out in my head when that was in relation to some other date (maybe someone's birthday?), but I don't remember what.
Ramonan Philosophy
January 11, 2009
Pat Robertson was in a private library, like that of a mansion, with his wife. He was wearing an elegant purple robe. Basically, he looked like a rich asshole. This was all animated and looked somewhat like a Flash cartoon. He had a book on the floor, and poured hot tea all over it to show his contempt for it. I noted the title (don't remember it now) and looked it up on Wikipedia. It was a philosophy book written by the Ramones.
Then I was looking at a website that talked about the characters on The Office. It mentioned Pam as an "iPod baby" who was fighting the "mean old girl." I guessed this mean old girl was Angela (although I had to look up her name when awake). It's weird because she's not that old.
Pay Phone Adventure
January 11, 2009
I decided to take the car and go for a ride without telling anyone. I showed up at a motel-looking place and rang one of the doors' doorbells. A young guy answered the door, and he made it clear that he wanted to come with me, along with his young son. I tried to make excuses since I wanted to go alone, saying I didn't know where I was heading and I didn't have a GPS, but he insisted on coming, in a different car. When I was getting in my car, I discovered the GPS sitting right on the driver's seat.
I drove to a building that was in the middle of the road.
I had to get off here and pass through the house on foot through the left while the car went through the right entrance. I got out and walked in to find E having a meeting with guys in business suits. I apologize for bumping into them, since the room was incredibly narrow and I had to, to get through. I'm about to go out the back into an icy area, but all of a sudden I have to go do something else. I go through the door to the left of the back, and I find EB and several others cleaning up a room with a big rabbit cage. EB has rabbits IRL. She tells me to get a dustpan and help clean up, so I pick one up and start to help. As I do, the rabbit litter gets blown around and gets in my nose and eyes, and I'm completely disgusted.
Now I'm driving, and then walking, in a sort of city harbor area where a nearby car has that godforsaken Soulja Boy song playing at full blast. By this time I really want to use a pay phone. I want to call my parents so they know where I am and wouldn't freak out. I see one, but I thought waiting to use a different one, since the song was so loud and I would have had to yell to be heard on it. As I walked towards the phone, some tough-looking guy approached me and asked me, threateningly, if I've ever been mugged. I say no, and he asks me to turn out my pockets. I do, since I know I have nothing. Wait, then why did I assume I would be able to use the pay phone?
Now I'm walking down a city street that I assumed to be in a ghetto, even though the neighboorhood actually looked very clean and nice, nothing like a ghetto. I see another pay phone, but I decided not to chance it because of the guy's comment before about being mugged.
The rest of the dream is loosely related fragments.
I remember watching two Hispanic parents go into each of their children's rooms to wake them up. Meanwhile, I would paint letters on each bedroom door. First I wrote ZZZ, then YYY.
Then, an Asian family were arguing in a sort of abstract, minimalistic black room. The father said something that I clearly recognized as Mandarin Chinese, and the son responds in Japanese. The father then starts speaking in Japanese as well. I understand most of what they're saying in Japanese; the son wants to do something, and the father is trying to convince him against it. Eventually, the father says something totally nonsensical in English, and the son looks at him weirdly. I could tell he knew English much better than his father.
The very last thing I remember is Amanda Bynes exploring a sewer.
Altogether, the dream had a general feeling of standing up for what's right, somehow. I woke up with a vague feeling that my character in it had been part of something big... if that makes any sense...
