I didn't find out until recently that we were supposed to be keeping a dream journal in the workbooks section. I have been using the DJ Blog feature so if you would like to check out my dreams from the past week you should check that out. I like keeping my DJ in the blog section so I will just be copying my posts from over there. Thanks and I'm so excited for the class!

I was expecting to dream chain this morning and I even woke up from a dream and stayed still with my eyes closed, but I waited for over 5 minutes with no indication of SP or anything, so I gave up. I don't think I was tired enough. I do have two dreams to share with you! Dream 1: Who wants some pizza? I was at school, and I can picture exactly where I was standing and exactly the way everything looked because it looked exactly like my school actually looks, down to every detail. I won't sit here describing my school for you though. I was standing at a table with my really close friend and two senior girls I've never really spoken to. We had about 6 pizzas from California Pizza Kitchen, 5 of them were cheese and one was veggie. We were trying to sell them for some cause. We also had a ton of candy we were selling. All of a sudden I ate 4 pieces of cheese pizza, and I paid a quarter for each one. Then I tried to buy a veggie one but as I reached for the piece I wanted, an African-American lady that seemed like she was a parent or teacher walked up and took the piece I wanted. The only one left barely had any toppings on it. I remember taking a mushroom that had fallen off another slice and putting it on mine and eating it. That was the whole dream. I find it odd considering I can only eat about 2 slices of pizza at once. Dream 2: Project Runway/Top Chef I was in a show that was a combination of Top Chef and Project Runway. That is, it was a show where there were designers who designed things based on food. I wasn't actually a contestant, it was as if I was just watching it, but in person. The challenge was to create a pair of shoes (why would clothing designers be making shoes?) based on button candy. One of the designers were making these really ugly shoes in this shade of purple which I find really ugly (and isn't related to button candy at all).

No recall last night. I laid motionless in bed for about 5 minutes without the slightest fragment of recall so I called it quits and got ready for school. I did discover something fascinating about my dreams though. I had a dream that should have been in my dream journal entry for Friday, and I forgot to post it because I wrote it down on a separate piece of paper and then completely forgot about it. It involved my math teacher handing back a quiz (the one I took on Friday). I got a 90%. Then for some reason my really nice math teacher turned evil, and not "oh I hate this teacher, he's evil" evil, but super-villain evil. Anyways, today I actually got my quiz back and I actually got a 90%. Even weirder is that one of my dreams from yesterday had to do with my day today. My family never eats California Pizza Kitchen, but my mom picked up a cheese pizza from CPK after work today. Two precognitive-ish dreams in the span of 3 days? That seems pretty bizarre.

[JessieTea]

Again, I do not remember any dreams from last night. I didn't feel any emotions about a dream I had woken up from this morning, and no matter how hard I tried I could not get any sort of memory.

Sometimes you just don't remember anything no matter how hard you try =/

So I very rarely have dreams on a normal school night, I just don't get enough sleep to be rested enough to remember my dreams. Until now I thought the only way to combat this was to go to bed around 9, which I doubt will happen again for the rest of the school year considering my workload. This was until last night... I had a dream and I remember a large chunk of it pretty well. I stayed up quite late last night and I was stressed so it can't have anything to do with being well rested. Then it hit me what was different about last night. I was listing to music! I always need some sort of background noise so I'm always playing some sort of "meditation" music when I'm falling asleep, but yesterday I listened to this rather sad and calm mix CD I had made. That is the only thing I could think of effecting me, lyrics. I'm not sure if this would make any difference at all, and one night isn't enough of a test for sure, but it might help. Needless to say, I'm listening to the CD again tonight. Dream 1: Woodshop + Tumblr + Party? There were three sections to this dream, and I have no idea what order they went in because they weren't really cohesive. I'll just post the parts in seperate paragraphs. -I was with two girls that I am okay friends with (in real life they kind of hate each other, or just mutually dislike). They were kneeling next to a bed on opposite sides in a purple room. They each had pieces of wood about the size of a paperback book in front of them. I think they were supposed to be decorating them but they were both very plain, if not completly plain. These weren't supposed to be art though, they had some purpose. There were other people making these too, also kneeling against the bed, about 15 people in total (it was a really long bed). I walked into what felt like a class and the "teacher" (who was standing in the middle of the bed pacing back and forth) told me I would have to catch up. -The same two friends were on the website tumblr making a blog (this segment of the dream will make more sense if you are familiar with tumblr). I asked if I could reblog photos with them. They said no. I walked over to these two boys I'm friends with (I have no idea where we were). They said I could post on tumblr with them. (this shows how totally and embarassingly I am addicted to tumblr) -I was at a party with one of the girls from the other dreams and both of the boys. We were outside on some sort of patio and there were lights strung between the trees. The boys had one glass bottle between the two of them and I had a glass bottle that looked identical. The bottles looked like the kind you would fill with colored sand and closed with corks. They were both filled with a clear (possibly slightly pink tinted, probably alcoholic) liquid. I asked them if they wanted to mix them even though they were the same thing. They said no. Then the two boys started talking about some game like World of Warcraft.

[JessieTea]

I think I've found something. I only have a fragment of my dream from last night but the rest is "on the tip of my tongue", which doesn't really fit here, but it has the same feeling. Dream 1: A fleeting memory I only have one image left in my mind from this dream, and I can't really explain it. I do know it involved a boy from my english class and one of the girls from the dream last night. I have this feeling that it might have had something to do with a boat or a rollercoaster but I'm not sure. I can also slightly picture a room that we were in.

[JessieTea]

Last night when I got home I was way too tired to post my dreams, but I did have two and I still remember them. I will post those plus my two dreams from last night now. I don't know if it actually is the CD I've been falling asleep to that has been allowing me to remember dreams on school days or if it's just a coincidence but I am definitely happy about it! Yesterday Dream 1: A train I was on a train in Japan with a Korean girl in my grade at school that I am not really friends with. The train looked more like a bus than a train. Although we were already on the train we were just then deciding where we were going. I wanted to go to Korea but for some reason I thought it would be weird to say that because she was Korean (though that makes no sense) and I didn't seem to realize that it is impossible to take a train from Japan to Korea. My second choice was Osaka but I could not remember the name Osaka for the life of me. I thought it started with a D so I just sat there trying to remember what it was called. Dream 2: A "normal" school day I was in history class and my friend Jacob gave me a piece of 5 Gum. Then the class ended and we walked to our lockers. This boy who is on the track team started talking to me about how he got new socks that had actual gold woven into them and how they made him super fast. Today Dream 1: Who left me home alone? I was home alone. The first thing I remember from the dream is everyone leaving a party I had while my parents were gone. I just hung out in my house for a while (it was daytime) and then my friend came with me to go buy a car. The place we were buying a car looked like a mix between a platform in a subway station and Tony Stark's garage in Iron Man. Apparently I purchased a new car. Then I was at home. Then my mom got home and everything was normal for a while. All of a sudden my mom comes out and starts yelling at me for drinking. Apparently I had left some sort of clear alcohol (for some reason I think it was coconut rum) in a glass just sitting on the table and my mom had taken a sip. (I wrote out some notes when I woke up for a second and it mentions my English teacher's name but now I do not remember what his role in my dream was) Dream 2: Untitled I was walking with two of my friends. One of them is pretty but no one ever says anything about her, and the other is the girl that guys go CRAZY over. We were going to the movies but then we decided to go to a bike store instead. We ran into three average looking boys in our grade, one of which I happen to have a crush on. We were looking at these bikes that had some sort of Japanese print on them, one was a blue-turquoise color and the other was red. I really loved the red one. The boys then said to us, "Hey, we'll buy you that bike because you're so cute." My friend that all of the guys love just said, "Oh, thank you so much!" because she was so full of herself and assumed he was talking to her. They just said, "No, we meant Jessie." It made me feel really good about myself (but now makes me feel like my subconscious is narcissistic). Then I somehow got in some accident (while walking, not on the bike). When I "woke up" I had apparently had my arm amputated because my shadow showed me with only an arm up to my elbow. I freaked out and said "I'm a guitar player! What will I do?" When I looked down my arm was there, but my fingers on my left hand had all been cut until halfway through the nail, yet had already healed. I felt better. Sorry if they make no sense grammatically but I'm not really in the mood to edit these.

[JessieTea]

I forgot to mention that I had another precognitive experience. I had another possible precognitive experience that I forgot to mention in my last post. I had a dream about button candy the other day (it's in the second post in this thread if you'd like to see it). I never really get to eat it except for at Easter (my mom always seems to buy it around Easter). Today my dad got home from a long work trip. He had been to New York and various other places. He had stopped at Dylan's Candy Bar while he was there and got me some candy. He pulled out a bag from Dylan's Candy Bar and one of the items he got me was giant button candy (each dot is about an inch in diameter). This is getting curiouser and curiouser...

[MadMonkey]

weird how that happens. It seems it happens to everyone that who has good dream recal. Maby our subconcious minds are just REALY good at guessing things. ^_^

[JessieTea]

I was too busy last night with homework. I didn't have any dreams last night because of my measly three hours of sleep. I was too tired this morning to even remember that I was supposed to try and recall my dreams. Yesterday Dream 1: Driving I picked up my friend Kristina from her swimming practice (IRL I don't drive and she doesn't swim). We were at a pool, she got in my car (some kind of volvo) and we were driving around just talking about random things. Dream 2: Stressed Out I was driving to school in my carpool but instead of my normal driver (a senior at my school) his mom was driving us. For some reason we were going the opposite direction of the school and we were on the freeway (which is not necessary to get to school). Then I got a frantic call from my mom that my dad was missing. She also told me that I forgot to do most of my history paper and she emailed me a copy of a worksheet I was supposed to base it on. I tried opening the file on my blackberry and it wouldn't work because the file was saved as .x (I find this funny because I have a problem with being unable to open .docx files and doc x sounds like dot x). I seemed to be stressing about finishing my entire paper in my one study hall period way more than I was stressing about my dad being missing. Then my carpool pulled to the side of the road and I got in my dad's car. He was driving us in the correct direction but went way too far past my school. I feel like there was more but I don't remember. Dream 3: Jewish Holidays A little background info: I go to a secular (non-religious) school that happens to be about 85% jewish. I am not jewish. It was a jewish holiday (I think in the dream I was saying Yom Kippur but the holiday was clearly a different one, I just don't know which/if it was even a real holiday) and I was going to school. My mom had made me a ham sandwich that morning for lunch. As I was reaching out to grab it to put it into my bag, I realized it might be a little insensitive to be eating ham on a jewish holiday (a note: barely any of the jewish people at my school keep kosher). I took out the ham and cut it into little bite sized pieces and put them into the sandwich (I have no idea how this helped at all). Fragment: I was commenting on the fact that no matter how hard I try I cannot get rid of the acne on my chin/the second it clears up new pimples appear and no medicine helps. (though this is pretty much true, it hasn't been true lately, I have clear skin. I don't know where this came from, I haven't had to worry about it at all lately. I just have a clear image in my mind of my chin in the dream)

[JessieTea]

I have two fragments from last night and one dream. I know the dream was really long and vivid, but when I woke up I forgot it all. I only remembered it a little while ago when I was making cupcakes for my school bake sale (you'll see how it is related). Fragment: I was with some other girl who was wearing the same shirt as me (which happened to be the shirt I had worn yesterday). Fragment: I was flirting with some cute new guy at school. Then I walked to my class and my friend pointed out I was wearing my retainer. I was embarrassed. Dream 1: A new form of Geocaching? I had this dream that I went to the library and there was this whole section of stuff this girl in my math class was giving away. There were folders full of things, a naked barbie doll, and an easy bake oven computer game (I had it when I was little and loved it, this is why the baking reminded me of the dream) among other things. I took a couple of things. Then my other friend was in the dream. The library turned out to be the one near my house, though it looked like a library I went to in Michigan from the inside. I remember going back to the library all of the time, getting more things, writing notes, etc. I really wish I remembered more from this dream because it was really interesting. Sorry I forgot to post here yesterday. I posted in my dream journal blog thing, but I forgot to copy the post into this thread. It wasn't anything interesting anyways.

No dreams from the past three days. Sorry for the lack of posting, I've been incredibly busy.

[JessieTea]

Hey, sorry I've been really busy with school lately so I haven't had time to post online. I have been keeping track of my dreams though. I didn't have any dreams for the past two nights but last night I had one long and very vivid dream and one semi-vivid dream. I do not have the energy to type those up now (especially because the first one is quite long) but I will post them tomorrow. From now on I probably won't be posting every day but I will be posting about every day.

[Baron Samedi]

No dreams from the past three days. Sorry for the lack of posting, I've been incredibly busy. No need to apologize to anyone. You are doing this free class for yourself.

I do not have the energy to type those up now (especially because the first one is quite long) but I will post them tomorrow. From now on I probably won't be posting every day but I will be posting about every day. Just write a few quick notes about the dreams, then write them out fully when you have time. All the time you spent writing the above, you could've wrote a few short notes about your dreams. Even just a few phrases or words is enough. I know you can type at least five words about your dreams once a day.

[JessieTea]

Alright, I do have a bunch of notes for each dream but I find it much more satisfying to post the whole dream, especially when I have a long one. From 10/6 Dream 1: Flea Market/Operatic Theme Park (I am using first names of my friends because there are so many people in this dream that it would be really confusing) I was at some sort of mixture between a flea market and a corn field in an abandoned empty lot. I was sitting in one of the rows waiting for the guests of an unknown friend's party to arrive. It was about noon. The first people there with me were my friends Madison, Evan, and this girl I met twice Bella. There was also some other girl who was friends with Bella that doesn't really exist. Then my friend Adam walked up and everyone jumped up and started rubbing his hair because he got a new haircut. Bella and I got really annoyed with waiting so we went back to her house. It looked more like a purple hotel room. The made up girl was also with us. We were talking for a while when both of them said, "It's time you went to the bathroom and took your hair down for the party" (my hair had been in a bun). I went to the bathroom and took my hair down and it wasn't at all poofy like it usually is when it has been up for a while. I went back into the purple room and they asked where the party was going to actually occur. I looked at my phone and I had texts from my friends Hannah and Helen. They were both telling me that the birthday girl wanted to eat at this really gross and tiny hamburger place right near our school. I told Bella and the other girl that I refused to eat there. I texted Hannah and Helen back saying that I was going to find a good sushi restaurant near school so we could eat there instead. I left the hotel and started walking. I walked past our school and somehow ended up on a different street that runs in the same direction on the other side of town, even though I didn't ever turn. I looked ahead and I saw this big arch/bridge over the street. I walked through and I was at a zoo. My friend Anna was looking at the penguins. I continued walking and there was a giant rollercoaster going over me. My friend Daisy was also standing under the rollercoaster, but she was filming in my direction with a video camera. I started skipping towards her. Daisy's best friend Willa was hiding behind Daisy and started singing a high opera note. Dream 2: Dessert Research Lab I was some sort of waitress at this restaurant. All of the walls were covered in window, and it was in some sort of big city. Everything on the inside of the restaurant was white, and there were flowers everywhere. I walked up to one table full of elderly people. I was trying to show my boss something. I then announced, "Donuts for old people!" They were eating these weird donuts on sticks. 10/7 I have three fragments. I remembered a lot more detail but the second I got up to write them down I barely remembered them. Dream 1: Scandal I was at some sort of villa and this boy Jacob wanted pictures from Japan. I was offering him pictures from my trip but he really didn't want them. He kept saying that he needed some kind of scandal. Dream 2: Dr. Liar Someone was pretending to be a doctor, I'm not exactly sure what else happened. Dream 3: Twin Liars My friend and her twin brother were both lying to me about something, I don't remember what. Today Dream 1: Slightly surreal I was at school but I didn't have class. It was last period and my friend Anna was in dance class and she was supposed to take me to a party after school. I was getting really impatient so I decided to take her car and drive myself to the party early. Not only was it weird because I was just taking her car, but I have never driven in my life (and I hadn't in the dream either). When I got to the party Anna was there. We decided we would go to a park in the woods that Anna said she loved to go to when she was little. It was in the woods. We were standing in a dry riverbed. There was a slide into the riverbed and then a slide down the hill (the hollywood hills) into the San Fernando Valley. We went up to the double sided slide and one of the people at the party decided to slide into the river. I started telling them not to because we had just been standing at the base of the slide and there was no water so they'd crash into the ground. They went down the slide and landed in a pool of water. The rest of the party decided to take the slide into the valley.

[JessieTea]

Not really any dreams lately because I've been so crazily busy that I haven't even had time to lay in bed for a minute to attempt to recall any dreams. Today while taking the PSAT I did remember a little bit of my dream from last night. I also had a very vivid daydream yesterday in which I made a fireball. Dream 1: Tongues Well I have this thing called Tongue Thrust where when I swallow my tongue pushes on my teeth and it is pushing one of my teeth up into my gums. In the dream I was standing at my locker at school and my friend Anna walked up to me and asked why some of her teeth were growing up into her gums (all of the effected teeth were on her left side). I asked her to show me how she swallowed so I could see if it was the same problem. She swallowed kind of like a horse does if I'm remembering correctly (I can picture her swallowing and it just feels like I've seen a horse do that). Her tongue was pushing on that entire side. I told her that was the problem and she was denying it. I told her the correct way to swallow and she kept insisting that she was doing that and then swallowing in the same horse-like manner. Fireball Daydream I was at one of my extracurricular programs where I teach science to 6th and 7th graders after school on Wednesdays. We had forgotten to plan something for that day so I decided to make a fireball even though it wasn't really science. I threw it across the room and one of the other student teachers caught it and "put out the fire".

[JessieTea]

Thursday: Dream 1: Religious? I decided to reread a series of books that was very popular in the dream. They looked like a mix between the Series of Unfortunate Events books and the Chronicles of Narnia books. I was reading them near a pool in the middle of nowhere in California. There were mountains and it looked like the kind of area you'd drive through on some kind of road trip within California. I was rereading the books so I could make a religion based off of them. I "read" the first of the seven (I never actually thought about the contents of the book I just remember telling someone I just finished the first book). Then I was looking for some type of white bird or something to fly overhead. Dream 2: Hairstyles I was in a small white room. My friend Maxx decided to french braid my hair. He was braiding it when my english teacher Nathan walked in. He said that when he french braids hair he likes to "earl" it sometimes. (I do not think there is such a thing, but in the dream it was taking a piece of hair and just wrapping it around in the middle of the braid and then continuing). Dream 3: Ann I was at some kind of pool party. This english teacher that some of my friends have and hate was there just walking around. I was standing with two boys in my math/chem classes Jake and Ian. Jake was telling Ian that if he looked up from his house he'd see Ann M___ (I'm not giving her full name, she's a boy in our grade's mom) because she was going to be at a Grizzly Bear concert. (In the dream this had something to do with the fact that it was supposed to be at the Hollywood Bowl and Ian lives close to the Hollywood bowl). They started laughing. Dream 4: Tumblr for Homework Help I was on tumblr and a girl in the grade below me named Maddie (who doesn't have a tumblr in real life) was asking how to do something in biology on her tumblr. I started responding to her even though I've never taken biology. Friday: Dream 1: Stuck This one's a little foggy. I was stuck in some kind of pod thing that kept going underwater (in this pond) and then being flung into the air or something. Either I had to be in it or one of my friends so we were trading off. That is all I remember, but it was one of those dreams where it is pretty boring, pointless and annoying and it seemed to go on forever. Saturday: Dream 1: Paper Dresses The whole school had some assignment to make dresses out of paper. They were due the next day. I asked where we would get the dress forms and they said they would order them tomorrow. (obviously that makes no sense because they were due that day) The assignment was to make one on a water bottle (a tiny dress) and one that was life size. I just remember that the school looked different and that my friend Siena finished hers early and was standing on the other side of the street. I also remember having to go into the P.E. office to get something. Finally, a note. The dream I had before about project runway being inspired by top chef that ended up being slightly precognitive is eerily similar to something else. The challenge in this week's episode of Top Chef was to make a chocolate DRESS. It was Top Chef inspired by Project Runway!

Thursday: Dream 2: Hairstyles I was in a small white room. My friend Maxx decided to french braid my hair. He was braiding it when my english teacher Nathan walked in. He said that when he french braids hair he likes to "earl" it sometimes. (I do not think there is such a thing, but in the dream it was taking a piece of hair and just wrapping it around in the middle of the braid and then continuing). Interesting. I have been trying to find someone to cornrow my hair for weeks. Also, my name is Nathan (and I am your dream teacher), and I want to name my first son Max. The Maxx is also the name of my favorite superhero. When I learn to cornrow my own hair, I am going to "earl" it. hell yeah!

[JessieTea]

Haha, that is very interesting! I have been really busy but I recalled a long-ish dream yesterday and a fragment this morning. Yesterday I was at a party for some kind of holiday at one of my friend's houses. It wasn't like house party but rather a family and friends gettogether. All of the kids ended up sleeping over after. The room we were sleeping in was the room we use for dance gym classes at my school but it was upstairs instead of downstairs where it usually is and it was part of someone's house. There was a giant stack of pillows in one corner. My friends Chloe, Madison, Cora, Jacob and the same Maxx were all there and we were all sitting on one long couch in the middle of the room. We were watching a movie. Chloe grabbed a pillow and walked into another room. Then all of a sudden the dream was in third person and I was watching Chloe in the other room. The adults were still awake and continuing the party but she took a ton of alcohol and poured it into the pillow. It turned out to be a mix between one of those hot water bottles and a camelback drinking sack. None of the parents noticed or cared. Then she came back. We didn't drink any of it. All of a sudden I was driving Maxx home (again, I can't drive yet) along with this boy Adam who wasn't at the party to begin with. Today I was with a couple of friends (a completely different group, 5 different people than above) and we were waiting to get picked up to go to a party. We were in a hot tub and it felt like it was about 6 PM. We were trying to fill up these two sign up sheets with people who wanted rides and then we could leave.

Only three dreams from the past week, one yesterday and two today. Yesterday This boy in my grade was getting married but everyone was still 15. His wedding was at school. We were sitting in chairs facing him in the courtyard at our school. He was trying to make a speech but he couldn't smile so he told me to sit in the front row and make funny faces. Much like in real life, he was trying to hold back laughter and that made him turn bright red. Then the speech was over and I was walking to math class (because it was a normal school day). They were soaking lady fingers in coffee to make tiramisu in big trays that covered the floor the entire distance to my math class. Everyone was stepping in the trays and messing them up because there was nothing we could do. I got to class. My classroom is usually white wooden paneling with green carpet and ugly grey desks. In the dream it was dark wood paneling, we were sitting on couches around a fire, and the room was half the size. It was a different teacher too, he had shoulder length hair and was wearing all purple. Today For background info, there is a music festival called Coachella that is near palm springs and most of the people at my school go every year. I have never been able to go. We were standing outside of Coachella but it was somewhere near my house (which is in los angeles). Somehow we just walked in and no one cared we didn't have tickets. We hung out for a while. I was finishing a writing assignment and I finally had it perfect. I don't remember what it's about but I remember that I made a footnote citing Harry Potter. I made sure I formatted everything to my english teacher's specifications and printed it out. I was walking to the bus (we were going to some kind of field trip) and I got stopped by a bunch of people in my grade who were going over their papers. I realized that for some reason I forgot the date. I walked around asking everyone the date and no one seemed to know. I was trying to figure it out when a bunch of people walked up and said it was November first. I started freaking out because I'm doing NaNoWriMo and it would be terrible to forget about a day. Then I was freaking out because we don't have school on Monday, November 1st due to a teacher in service day. I guess somehow I knew my real schedule and problems in a dream where that obviously wasn't the case.

[JessieTea]

I gave up on my dreams. As cheesy as it may sound in a normal context, it is a much more mundane thing to say on these forums. I still have my goals for the future, I haven't lost my way, but I have lost the time (for the past couple of months at least) to write in my dream journal. I told myself I would be good this time, that I would write up my dreams every day. I was good for a while but then it turned to writing a weekly digest of my dreams and then I just got lazy. I truly was excited about the Shared Dreaming class but I let AP Chemistry and friendship problems derail me from the class (though they probably were more important in the long run considering I can still learn shared dreaming). I feel ashamed to have given up so quickly. I am trying again though. I still am as interested in dreams as ever (possibly even more) and I am going to try even harder this time to stay on track. With almost every thing I do I fail the first time and subsequently get closer and closer to succeeding. What began as writing down about one dream every six months and giving up after that one night in the fourth grade blossomed into writing a detailed dream journal every day (with multiple dreams each day) for weeks. One could say I've been building up my dream journaling stamina. Hopefully I'm ready for the marathon this time. That's it, I just wanted to state that I'm coming back to dreamviews (though I don't think I am ready to jump directly into a class) and that I hope to disappoint myself less this time. xo. jessietea

I decided to re-read my dream journal and I not only realized that there have been even more precognitive connections that have occurred. I also remembered this morning 3 dreams from a couple of weeks ago, but I cannot remember if it was something that happened while I still was keeping the journal or if it was from after I stopped. Precognitive: I mentioned going to a party with a girl named Bella that I had met twice. I saw her two more times in the past two weeks (after not seeing her for two years). Random connection: I realized that the teacher in one of the last dreams I wrote about before I left for a while (about the wedding) actually looked a lot like WakingNomad. Dream 1: A group of friends and I were in Japan. We were shopping and running through this mall that was purple and matrix-esque (though I have never in my life seen the Matrix so I actually have no idea why I think that). We were trying to buy things for a party we were all having together. I also kind of feel like we were in the part of Monster's Inc where they have the doors on those clothesline like things but we were using them for transportation. Dream 2: A boy I liked and a couple of people and I were at what I thought was Knott's Berry Farm. It also felt like it was the theme park on the Santa Monica Pier but it was supposed to be Knott's. We decided to work there and we were in charge of running this small white rollercoaster. We just were walking around the track area for a while and then the boy I liked took his lunch break without me. For some reason it really hurt my feelings. Dream 3: I was on a field trip to knott's berry farm but we weren't allowed outside, we just had to stay in this giant tent that we shared with another school. There was a section in the front with silverware and some tables that was mostly for us and was about an eighth of the size of the whole tent. I remember runing back and forth the length of the tent and the other school getting mad. None of those were from the same night or recent at all, they just came to me today but I remember knowing of them in the past. It's kind of weird. All I remember from last night's dream is a single mention of the drink Four Loko.

I know I had multiple dreams last night but I don't know where one began and one ended or if I only remember one dream so I'll just write it as one long chunk. There was something about going to different classrooms in the outer reaches of the solar system (the space between each planet was a classroom, like the area between Uranus and Neptune would be one classroom). There was a lot about this but I don't remember much about it as it was in the beginning of the dream. At some point I was at "my school" and it was in this big field like space and a teacher or administrator walked up and told everyone to bring in rocks that were round because we would make planetary models out of them and they would become real solar systems (like we were playing god). I was happy because I knew I would have a ton of rocks for my project. When I got to school the next day I was mad because all of my rocks had been too oval or lumpy to qualify as planets. Then I was hanging out at school and a teacher (who does not exist in real life) who everyone seemed to like (though I knew I had never had) walked up and asked all of my friends if we wanted to go with her down to her car to get something. I decided to go with her and we went down a REALLY tall elevator to get to a parking lot out in an open field (not underground) where there was one car. It was a red hatchback and she opened the trunk, got something and then we returned to the elevator. It looked to be about 300 ft tall and looked like the glass was a portal to the stars (it looked midnight blue with stars and very realistic). The shape itself and the way it presented itself in the parking lot reminds me of the supreme scream at Knott's Berry Farm but only one of the towers. We were on our way up the elevator when we stopped on a floor where 3 cute 12th grade boys who are friends with my best friend's ex boyfriend were slumped up against the elevator eating blueberry pie with ice cream. They gave me a slice, the teacher a slice, and the teacher's toddler aged daughter (who hadn't existed until that moment) a slice. The one I like the most walked into the elevator with us after handing out the pies and then proceeded to spit melted vanilla ice cream up on the teacher's shirt. I high fived him and then we got back up to the "school floor".
