Enid Goes Panning for Gold

Don't remember my dream last night or the night before. but before THAT i dreamed a new planet came into the orbit of Earth and we (the people of Earth) sewed a terry-cloth cover over the sky because seeing this new planet, which was planet-sized and only as high up as an airplane on maybe a two-hour journey, would freak us all out too badly. Where the planet was, we had sewn a circle of a different colored terry cloth and there was some saying about God's love on it. You could see the planet turning against the cloth. I remember flying quite a bit throughout this dream. The weather, the sunshine was identical to the light of the next day in RL! Most of this dream was outdoors among the public-- at a large city park or city square or something. Very peaceful mood except for that freaky planet thing. it was all over the news i recall but not in a threatening way.

only remember maybe a minute of last night's dream. perhaps it's because i went to bed extremely late and drunk on "inglewood mimosas" (my own recipe-- 2 parts boxed chablis, one part orange-pineapple juice) TRY IT! All i remember is getting behind the wheel of a large van, like the ones used by daycares and senior citizens' centers, and i had a styrofoam bowl or plate of vanilla ice cream in my hands which toppled over when i got in the van. someone was outside trying to talk to me and the country of turkey was involved somehow-- they were talking about it or were from there, or the ice cream was turkish-- but i was trying to deal with the icecream that was now melting and filling up the floorboard under my feet and running under the seat to the back of the van. there were other people in the van at the time. i went to the back of the van to do something, clean up the ice cream or get a coat and suddenly i realized or remembered that i had been driving when i felt the van round a curve and there was no one behind the wheel. this is where i should've caught on that it was a dream and become lucid, but no. i just ran up to the driver's seat and took the wheel. i remember being amazed that the van had stayed on a very curvy road and somehow even taken turns on its own. i wondered if it had some kind of auto-pilot setting. then i thanked God over and over for taking the wheel for me. the meaning seems pretty obvious to me. the van is my life. i get distracted and relinquish control, then suddenly remember i should be steering or it will crash. then i find that another unseen force, higher hand was keepin' it on the road, lookin out for me, the whole time. i've had dreams of finding myself in the back seat of a moving car with no one at the wheel many many times throughout my entire life. before i could drive, the driver, usually maybe always my mother suddenly vanished from the driver's seat and i felt helpless and terrified. this dream was a wonderful reckoning of all those past ones! a new feeling of security is with me today.

hmmm...let's see... one false awakening where i was lying in bed talking to my husband or listening rather, he was saying,"it's just like the time when i was dating kim and she..." something sexual involving a restaurant or a date that started with dinner, except he hasn't dated anyone named kim in his adult life as far as i know. one of my ex-boyfriends, the worst of all, was almost engaged to a girl named kim before he met me-- maybe that's where it came from. it was daylight, morning. i sensed something strange about the situation because i was viewing the room upside down but i was just lying or reclining in bed. I carry a wooden cross about half my size made of a stake and a light post. i'm carrying it to the curb from the house. halfway through the yard, i realize its a kerry/edwards sign. i glimpse another short sign in the yard wonder if it's bush/cheney, no a real estate sign or landscaping sign or something. jody is at the edge of the yard talking to a neighbor. this very quiet, suspicious, nosy redneck guy wonders up while i am tryiing to get the stake in the ground. then there are two signs im posting at the same time. the second sign does not say kerry/edwars. it's white and has more words, maybe a couple of long sentences. i didn't even read it in the dream. i wonder if he is from the house down the street with the giant "fonda/kerry" banner hanging between two trees and a sign that says "why peace? wage war!" (that house has those signs in real life) . The neighbor jody is talking to is a tall, thick lady prob in her late 30's with long lightened hair with the roots grown out down to her ears. black t-shirt, denim or white shorts, reebok sneakers. she may be the redneck guy's wife. she says something to jody and me about the signs being hard to get in the ground. i agree. but the earth is soft, i was just on a rocky spot near some kind of concrete thing in the ground. the ditch is really steep-- which it's not in RL. the stakes go way to far down on the second try, so that i can't see the signs and only the tops of the stakes are sticking up and leaning. i struggle with this for a bit. its very overcast weather. weather today is partly sunny-- very different. i was talking to some kid, dark complected, black hair, dark eyes, skinny and not tall, italian or some mediterranean descent i think, cap or visor cocked deliberately crooked on his head, baggy clothes and a jacket. he was a stranger to me. he's with a group of friends. he's asking me how to do something. seems like it involved money or dealing with some minor authority like a bank or admissions office or parking cops, i dunno, but i told him one way he may be able to do it, then said, "well, since this is a dream, i don't know why you couldn't." i think i jst kept walking though, didn't go lucid. it was night and we were approaching some place like an airport terminal or major city downtown shopping mall, still outside coming from the parking lot or garage. it was dark wherever we were. then i was on the boat (the General Jackson Showboat-- where i work, for anyone else reading this) and the water was too high to go downstream and then turn around and go downtown (that makes no sense in real life since there are no bridges in the distance we go downstream before turning towards town) so we turned around at the dock. the boat was completely different. it was much smaller and the inside was all rows of seats like church pews or benches facing the bow. the whole fore wall was a window. the walls on the sides were open windows on the upper half. i was sitting near the front , maybe jody was with me. i know a couple other servers were there. the weather looked exactly, same light, like it does today. we turned around just like a little speed boat and the bow smacked the water, causing us to bob to a nauseating extreme. it scared me a little. i think jody said "watch what the boat does when we turn around" before we turned. he thought it was fun. then i did, too. the river was much different, too. it was not even half the size it is in rl, somehow the water was unusually high, but the banks were above the boat and they were cut away rock and earth, not grown-over cliffs and inclines. we rounded a bend really fast and there was a sheet of water running along the wall of the bank there so i stuck my hand out the window and let my fingers go through it. then i was present in a small gathering of people. seems like we were on down time from some project. this really tan, really blonde girl was doing contortionist tricks just cause she could on a table, naked or almost naked. she wasn't pretty and she wasn't ugly, just kind of athletic, she was by no means a tan, blonde barbie girl. i had my digital camera with me and started photographing the poses because they were a cool sight to capture. but then i started to feel bad because i didn't ask her first and she was wearing maybe nothing-- couldn't see anything taboo so i don't know if she was all the way naked or not, whatever the case she looked like she was and i thought i might be creeping her out or offending her privacy, though there were at least five other people in the room and she was having fun showing off. i was taking the pictures from maybe only about three feet away. there was a mid-aged lady with her, her mom? tall, short curled auburn hair, smiley warm lady in a dark suit watching beside her. when the girl fixed a pose everyone would shout and applaud and we were all sort of laughing like good friends just being silly together, she wasn't there to entertain us, she was one of us, being silly, too. she stopped after a bit and she sensed i felt bad about snapping shots of her so she said, "you've got great hair!" and i was like "really?! i think its starting to feel kind of dry, it gets frizzy on the ends..." and she was like "no! i get good hair vibes from you!" and i was like, ohmigoh-OD! no i wasn't. but i was looking in the mirror kind of across the room at my myself as she was saying this, looking at the ends of my hair which did look frizzy to me. i thought it was very sweet of her to reach out and say this since she could tell i was worried i had offended her.

[Enid]

don't 'member much. again. except i was in some kind of parade i think, trying to keep anyone from noticing my big, red, plastic laser gun.

[Enid]

did a reality check because i noticed something odd at some point, and realized i was dreaming. i remember saying "ha HA! BAM! i'm dreaming!" and then i started whirling in the air and chanting as loud as i could "i will maintain lucidity" and "i will master lucid dreaming." i know i was up near a ceiling but somehow sort of outside and there was a spiral of colorful stars like you see on your eyelids when your falling asleep sometimes, turning around my head. i tried to change the scene but didn't get much success, i guess because it's so hard to believe i can change it since it is my reality at the moment (even though i realize im dreaming.) did get part of my head through the cieling. the whole thing kind of fell apart as best i remember, despite my chant. oh-- i was so determined to have a long lucid dream. now it's just a short blur.

[Enid]

ran into my ex-boyfriend (my first college relationship and my first, uh... you know). He walked into the room and i perked up. i ran over to him and took his face in my hands and shouted his name. I couldn't believe i'd run into him since he moved back up to pittsburgh after graduating. he said he'd come back down for a reason. he seemed really desperate and sad. he got down on one knee and took my left hand, then saw the diamonds on my finger and went "awww, girl!" "i was about to say, if only you'd caught me a couple months earlier, but then thought, no, i'm happy with jody. i've found the one." he stood up and embraced me, saying, "i can't go home without a girl..." i felt really sorry for him. that's all i remember. my dreams have been so boring lately.

[NobleGaz]

I've seen these pinpoints of light when drifitng off, kinda like a laser pointed at me, just a flash, but bright. Always wondered about that. Anyone else have repeating phenomena when they are falling asleep

Lucid dream in the morning! YAAAAAAAAAY! I was riding bikes with my husband and this other guy we know down Murfreesboro rd. near the airport except the road was much wider, livelier, and very hilly. we were descending a hill when i looked up and saw a plain crossing to the landing strip very low overhead, i was amazed at its size. i held out my feet and hands, feeling so exhilerated when i realised how high off the ground i was, over fifty feet my bike seat had risen and then i knew i was dreaming. when i was ready i lowered myself to the normal height and the busy main road ended at grass and (night though it had been daylight a moment before.) we rode into the grass and i leapt from my bike to the top of a wall as narrow as a table edge and shouted to jody and warren to look as i jumped up and down on the narrow edge "look what i can do! it's just a dream!" i still fell off the wall, but with control so it was very slow and easy to land. i flew a little, above them, just cause i could and then we decided to get something to eat so we walked into a fast food restaurant. i got a dirty idea. warren had faded away and i coaxed jody to commit with me a conjugal act right there in front of the counter because no one could see us since they weren't real. it was so much fun! we tried to balance ourselves on top of the trash cans and then on the tables, but it was still a little difficult, even knowing it was a dream. i lost lucidity after a bit and the scene changed to some venue where my newfound friend was to perform in a play. it was like seeing a band bc the audience was free standing and roamed and chatted with each other during the performance. my friend turned out to be a marginal actress and singer, (it was a musical) but it was fun to watch. i turned to see that a girl i'd once had a crush on, the only female i'd ever had a crush on, had returned from NYC and was standing next to me. she said something flattering and sweet that made me blush and turn away to hide my huge smile. i was disappointed that now some old temptation had entered the ring of my new marriage but elated to see her again. she had grown her hair out to be long and curly just like mine (though it's always been in a straight, black bob.) these dreams occured just a while before i woke. i had already woken up once a couple hours earlier and decided i still had a little sleeping time, but new not to indulge too much or i would miss class. perhaps this is why the lucid dream happened.

[Damascus]

go you! that was a...uh interesting ld well congratz on it, hope you have more!

[NobleGaz]

Thats a good key actually. Part of your mind knows you can't sleep too long, or you need to be attentive about someone visitng or whatever. Thats how my last Lucid occurred.

<span style="color:violet"><!--sizeo:18--><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--> a few dream fragments <!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--> Life has come at me full force this past week, so journaling has been neglected. However, several fascinating nocturnal films have starred myself in the past few nights and these are the pieces i remember... 1. Traversing some country two-lane interstate highway but it seems foriegn to me and high-schoolers have the day off school in celebration of graduation week. i am not in a car though moving at car speed. there are teenagers hanging out in high places above the road: crevices in rock, overpass roads, under the overpasses. seems like whenever i look up, there is a teenager or two hanging out up there looking down mischeviously at the road as i pass below. i get the suspicion they are going to drop stuff on cars which i think is an unbelievably cruel crime-- innocent people have been killed at random this way. suddenly i'm not on a highway anymore, though still traveling, but in an underground, cave-like tunnel which is lit as bright and plain as an office or a store, not with the dramatic lighting you see in cave tours. it's also very clean and dry and the floor is smooth as if it's a production, not nature. the kids are up there in this setting, too, and finally one drops an empty bottle on me. it lands on my head and hits my eye as well. the pain is shocking and very real, as bad as being hit by a softball with the power of a coach's bat behind it. i cry out and go after them. don't remember the rest. 2. My friend Chas is planning a wedding ceremony (which she really plans to do on their year anniversary.) She's going to have it on the same site her mom had hers (in May. Chas got married almost exactly a month after her mom did.) I remember, in the dream, thinking she's just doing the exact same thing her mom did. In real life, their ceremony, if they really have one, will be much different than her mom's, but she did do a courthouse wedding this summer, which is how her mom's first and disastrous marriage started. Chas' husband looks very similar to her new stepdad, and everyone we know agrees on this. Chas looks just like her mom, so Chas and her husband look like her mom and stepdad would have twenty years ago! my best friend and i are bridesmaids in the dream-version of Chas' ceremony-- they were both my bridesmaids in reallife: I'm living at home with my folks in the house we moved out of when i was 14 but i'm this age (25.) (Dreaming about living in this house again is pretty common for me. In fact, i never dream i'm back in the house they live in now and was my home during high-school. From now on I will refer to the former as "the yellow house".) I look out my bedroom window and see my best friend and her boyfriend walking up to the next-door neighbor's door all dressed up, apparently meeting my neighbor's daughter, who is four years my junior to go out or something. i get pissed because i realize that they have passed my door without knocking to go see HER. they disappeared on the way to the rehearsal dinner and never showed up and that is where they went. 3. Same night and NOT connected: we have a double day-cruise on the Jackson. somehow, some of the workers get separated from the rest. the boat is departing and my husband, who works with me, gets left on the boat while the dock is sailing away or-- OH! there are TWO General Jacksons and he's on the other one where there IS no function and he's supposed to be working the function on the Jackson we're all on and somehow he didn't cross over before the two separated so he's gonna be in trouble with management. I yell at the top of my lungs to him to get on our boat before it's too far for him to jump even though it's already way too far. just happen to see him, he's finishing up his work from the last cruise and didn't finish in time to board this boat. he chucks whatever he's doing nonchalantly and jumps in the river and swims to shore. I am laughing in amazement at how gutsy he is. he jumped in the river, parka, shoes, and all and just swims off! current be damned! i may have jumped in to go help him. not sure. 4. different night: i'm driving with another person or a group and come upon a place in the road where a mine or bomb has exploded. there are many, many, many pieces of human bodies scattered everywhere. the scene is monochromatic; a mauve color. i feel sick. something about it says "not real", though. it is a simulation, or i know it's a dream, or i'm just in shock and covering with denial. <span style="color:red">[size=24]THE END</span></span>

[Enid]

wake up (falsely)-- room looks just like it should, and get up in a panic, need to turn the lights on, only a few of them in the house work, i start freaking out. Jody's out of town and the lights won't come on! (dreamed the light thing before) what's going on?! finally get one on, but need to turn as many as possible on. *Sleeping without Jody for the first time since we've married...he's visiting his hometown overnight <img src="http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/cry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle"/> hippies are making jewelry with conch shells in a room i don't really have, and i think they were doing this in the dark (?) i walk outside to some kind of summer camp-looking grounds which is my yard in this dream to find a large gathering of my peers that my male roommate (doesn't exist iRL) has invited over since i was asleep w/ the bedroom door shut and jody is out of town. it's the middle of the night in the dream, but daylight out. everyone's hangin' cheerfully when we hear the sounds of a gathering storm. they all take off and i grab the hand of a girl i was talking to, looks a little like a chick i knew in high school, and we run, huddled together laughing and holding hands like girls could've done 100 yrs ago but would seem strange today (i'm currently reading Jane Eyre when i realize we may look gay, i let go of her hand. we're runnin down a wet gravel driveway towards some shelter, then we're runnin down a grassy slope instead, the girl is gone everyone else's still there, towards a mess hall with it's huge double doors open. i see kenny, the black vietnam vet night galley cook at work inside, i wonder why they're runnin there and i'm going to run to my cabin cause i think they're overreacting-- it's just rain, not a tornado, but jody says (suddenly he's not out of town anymore but beside me) there IS a tornado. then i hear the whistling wind and follow his finger and see it coming towards us from around the side of hte mess hall. looked like i had enough time, but it's upon me in an instant (and you can only see the bottom of it, like only a foot from the ground of it) i try to run to the side to avoid it's path, it follows me, every direction i run it's right on my heels, now it just looks flat like a swirl about twenty feet wide, and get this! i think of OpheliaBlue posting that she dreamed a tornado blew her and her bro. all ove the neighborhood and she said, "relax, Will. it's just a dream, man!" i knew i was gonna sucked in, then it was on me, and it just lifted me a little, i whirled around to see Jody standing behind me and the setting changes around us to a dept. store in the lawn equipment section and he's holding a remote control for the tornado! he was making it do that! he starts raggin on me for not doing something about it since it's just a dream. "why don't you fly away from it or just change it or change the scenario? it's a dream! you can do wonderous things!" he would never say "wonderous things" in real life. LOL! so i fly above it and up to this big wooden support post in the middle of the lawn mowers and there are riding mowers vice gripped to it at the top so i remove one because riding mowers are protection against tornadoes (?) and it becomes a weed-eater. i fly around above the cieling fans which are spinning full force with this weed eater going and jody teases me for doing something so silly and useless with this dream. so it changes... and i'm driving an old wooden school desk around the halls of an older building at school at high speed w/ one foot dragging the ground and swigging a root beer- pretending to be driving a car really fast and reckless while drinking a beer, and laughing at what a funny prank this is. i pass people in the halls who seem to get a kick out of my antics and then notice a work schedule taped but hanging by a bottom corner from the wall, stop to check it out and hear my poetry teacher's voice behind me say, "i've kept hidden from you all those who won awards and now i'm going to bring them out, so..." and she starts reading names, then i realize i've won an award for poetry i've written in class. she gathers us around her, she was sitting in a student desk against the wall in the hall, but now she's standing behind a teacher's desk just outside the door of the classroom which is difff from the real one and we all look for our names and the title of our poem under them on this sheet of paper. i saw the titles clearly but can't recall any except one. One of the student/poet's name's was Brett Lee but next to it is a another name with a poem title under it which is "Brent Little" something is wrong here, i notice. it shouldn't be there or something and then i see on the paper the vision of an empty high school baseball field wooden bleachers. Dr. K. starts telling us what now that we've won an award and as i'm listening to her notice that some of the buttons of her sweater are not closed here and there and she is wearing an ornament on it looks like, may be the glass globe for an overhead light with a crocheted spiral design glazed to it. i think how odd. my phone starts to ring in my purse just as she adresses me personally, i get frustrated at the timing, start digging for the phone and wake to find my phone is really ringing at 5 in the freakin' morning! it's jody, he's half-drunk and needs his buddie's phone number cause he's standing outside the apt. complex and doesn't know which door to knock on. grrrrrrr. somewhere in all this: 1. at a hotel for some event and enter a room find my godmama (nancy, chas' mom- see post before this, reader) standing there, half dressed watching a couple that i thought was her and her husband at first slow dancing on her balcony. they are older and somewhat haggered looking, but in love, and nancy suggests i should be still and quiet so as not to disturb them. 2. in class before it starts, notice people are dressed like it's st. patty's day, shamrocks and all. i ask if it is and someone says they think so but i say it's autumn! turns out it's just a coincidence. 3. jody and i are standing in a parking lot i cross to get to class, the sun is bright, late afternoon. he says he's irish, and i say no, your'e welsh! he says same thing. i say, no-- I'M irish! 4. i return to the room where the hippies were making conch necklaces and found they abandoned their project when the storm came and didn't clean up the shells. i complain about the mess i have to clean up.

1. went to an old saloon late at night, almost empty except for two modern couples of out-of-towners. i felt like they were laughing behind my back bc i kept trying to throw things away in a waste basket that i kept thinking was by my chair but wasnt there at all. even dumped the ashtray on the floor, thinking the can was there. others left, then my group left, heard one talking in the parking lot on his phone about meeting at the Old Country Buffet instead of going downtown. Saw jody's watch on the guy's wrist. 2. i was in a commercial, just remember that fact but nothing about the dream 3. outside a busy old west saloon at night, most people were on the porch. i was outside, it was 19th cent. but there were cars in the gravel and grass outside, pitch black the further from the porch i went, grass very high, i start freaking out about the possibility of stepping on a snake. there's a dog on the porch, i get a bobcat which looks like my boycat only bobcat-style and intro him to the dog as a playmate, bobcat attacks dog. stupid idea. i go and get a viscious copperhead snake from the tall grass and to break up the bobcat/dog fight, drop the snake on the gravel cause it strikes at me, then chases me-- i run inside and shut the door behind me. my dad gets mad that i've dropped a copperhead amidst a crowd of people and then shut myself inside away from it. there is gunfire in the saloon, maybe i was the one doin' the shootin'. think i was shooting out with some kind of gangsta rap thug ???

[Enid]

I am MISSING a journal entry!!! Could i have accidentally posted it in someone else's journal while reading theirs? Did i forget to submit? HEY-- WHA' HAPPENED? So, night before last: Jody and I are in the middle of some Earth-shaking <img src="http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/banana.gif" style="vertical-align:middle"yes, sixTEEN though they said six. don't see it. head to the back wall rack and try to figure out what i'm doing there. think i must look funny in this store, but the clerks probly think i'm gift-shopping. then i start to notice all these different blazers, jackets, and trench-coats that are leopard print. I realize i;m wearing a leopard print furry pimp coat, which i have iRL and tell the sales lady i'm looking for one in a size 16X so myself and someone else can have identical coats, but she doesnt have it. i was in a movie i think was called Eraserhead, which is real, though i know nothing about it. it's epic-length and dark, sci-fi action in the dream. can't remember much. the last scene was on a wall of tv screens in a city alley that was somehow also a huge filing room. i recall pulling one of the tv's out like a drawer and the face of a man who was speaking to my male opposite lead was inside projected on a white sheet of paper and he was kind of a crude charcoal drawing. the lead villain was so distinct i could pick him out of a crowd if i saw him today. ACH! i forget last night's. it'll come. Recall a little about trying to imagine what an alien world may be like. was traveling through an alien rainforest down a path on a mining cart maybe. saw alien fruit on an alien tree. tried not to see an alien face which was shaped like a bicycle helmet with a bug's face but the whole thing kept shifting. i was hearing what i thought alien music may sound like if they weren't too serious or advanced or just never thought of music before at all. it sounded like free-form modern classical to a sort of slower gypsy rhythm.

i just remember chiggers. except i thought they were some similar species i feel is inappropriate to mention here. they were burrowing under my skin and i could see them. THEN TODAY AT WORK-- this guy was talking about chiggers! He said Northerners sometimes think that a Southerner is pulling their chain when they warn them to "stay out of the weeds! you might get chiggers!". they think we just made up chiggers as a joke, like the elusive "snipe" or "jackelope".

Dreamed i cut my hair in a pixie and bleached it blonde like it was 5 years ago! i was sick about it cuz i've been growing it out for a couple years now and it's so long. i was looking in the bathroom mirror of a school and some lady with hair like that was poking her head out the bottom of a stall next to the sinks and trying to talk up the new hair. at one point i said, "please PLEASE let this just be a dream" but in my heart i knew it was real (haha! you sneaky brain...) Somehow i woke up, it was so fake i don't even know if it cøunts as a false awakening, and felt my hair and the long ponytail was there and i breathed a <!--sizeo:14--><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><span style="color:darkred">big sigh of relief<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->. okay, so i walked out in the hall and i was at some college, don't think mine, i'm always at school! and everyone was leaving. it was the end of the day and they were all going to a festival. i wanted to hang out and eat my great northern beans. i poured salt on them so they wouldn't melt. i was skating towards the front door of the school with the huge salt shaker in my hand, some lady was in front of me and i waited for her to go out the door before i sat the shaker and the spoon on this box fixture that was between the enter and exit doors and then left. then i was in some hick town but i don't remember really anything about that. my dreams were really long, but i just can't make them clear. OH! [size=14]OH!!!</span> at one point i was outside and looked up at the clouds. the clouds were in stripey form like a bunch of planes had gone over side by side and when i looked at that pattern, i thought "stare at that and see if you can float. of course you can't cuz yr awake, but when you see that pattern in a dream, youll know to try and float and you'll float and know your dreaming." <span style="colorrange">exasperated sigh</span>

1. standing in line at some counter and i just drop trou' and go to the bathroom right there in front of everyone. some hippy guy is standing behind me and it's embarrassing cuz of him to use the tissue but i do anyway. wow. look what i'm telling almost strangers. 2. in outskirts of Vegas at night. sitting on a couch in a sort of uncared-for living room with several people, friends in the dream, never met 'em in real life. tv is on. huge picture window showing city street opposite the couch. someone passes me a candlestand that they were smoking a tobacco cig through, but when i take a drag it tastes like pot resin smoke. i draw long drags and notice that people are lining up to the check-in desk at the hotel across the street and their right up next to this window so i try to hide as i smoke behind a person, i think, but this ghostly color apparition of an old lady's face grows larger in the window so i just quit. 3. in another hotel. what is it with me and hotels lately? i remember running up thiry flights of stairs and feeling okay. had to get something from my room and the elevator wasn't working. something important in the lobby i can't recall. maybe people were talking about me in my absence and i knew it. 4.

Well, well. No LDs lately. many many odd, long dreams forever lost bc i didn't fill in my journal. 1. Emad was imitating rednecks and sounded as American-born as anyone else. 2. i was in NYC and skipped school to wander the town. walked into a hardware store and a girl from Iraq who i knew in high school walked in after me. i was afraid of someone, maybe her, suicide bombing us. she would never hurt a fly. went back to this corner coffee shop and found hubby and daddy there with several other friends, and said, oh no! now they'll know i skipped school.
