Thread: Queen Zukin's Dream Journal

Black Cat

I was at my mother's house. She told me that she thought there was a wild cat in the house. I started looking for it, since I assumed such a thing would be easy to find. It wasn't. I looked all over until I saw something scuttling that looked like a mouse. I followed it and discovered that it was a kitten! It ran back to his mom, which was a black cat. The cat had another kitten who was smaller than the first kitten.

This wasn't very well thought out.

Kestrel and I decided to sail the mid-Atlantic on a blow up shark. It was a shark raft made for kids, and we were both trying to fit on it. We ran into a cruise ship and hopped on board for some free food.

Pizza

I had a lot of dreams last night about pizza. I don't remember how so, but it there was definitely pizza.

Sure Fine Whatever

I was working at a grocery store as a pharmacist intern. I saw someone that I hadn't seen since I worked in a grocery store after my freshman year of college. He asked me if I would go to prom with him. Uhhh, what? I didn't even pay attention to the fact that he and I both were about 5 or 6 years late for that (that statement...just made me shed a small tear).

He begged for me to go with him and said that he had no one else to go with and that this was the last oppurtunity he would get in his life. I reluctantly agreed and I wondered if I could still fit in my dress from high school. Probably not. My butt has gotten too big for that.

We waited in a long ass line that went through the grocery store. I decided to drink some beer since I was definitely going to need it. He kept getting in fights with other guys standing around in line and I was just like...c'mon...


Piano

A lady was teaching me how to play piano. She was apparently an expert so I felt embarrassed trying to play.

I had a dramamine sleep last night, since I had an exam early in the morning. Slept so so good but completely forgot about writing down my dreams or anything. I had something remembered but now it's all left the building. Shit. Well I will edit if I remember. It's been a long, long day.

Stuuuck

I was in a real-life version of our minecraft server (Kestrel and I). I kept thinking that I was in Germany again and wanted to go out and get a donner. But I was soooo tired I could barely get out of the apartment. I kept falling asleep where I was. When I finally made it out of the apartment, I decided it was a great idea that since I have a BROKEN FOOT I should rollerskate to my destination. Yep very smart.

New Apartment

I moved into a new apartment. I discovered a colorful wonderland in my closet.

How to Conjure in German and Other Communication Skills for Witches

Kestrel, my mother, my sister, and I were at my grandparents' house. Kestrel was commuting to work so I never saw her because her commute was so long. But in my grandparents' attic I had found some very interesting and oddly specific books about witchcraft. One of them was titled, "How to Conjure in German and Other Communication Skills for Witches." Lol what?? Since they were so oddly specific, they actually made for a good read.

Throughout the dream my sister and I kept fighting, as usual. We are the two most opposite people you'll ever meet.

Purple and Ugly

I remember looking into a mirror and noticing that I had on the ugliest make up. I was wearing purple eyeshadow and purple lipstick. I definitely couldn't go out like this.

Doku Man

A filmmaker had come to my hometown and was making a documentary about the people who live there. I remember helping him film the documentary. And also something to do with shopping carts.

Wishful Witches

I was walking in a very affluent neighborhood. It was warm and sunny and I was admiring all of the unique houses. The houses weren't just wealthy looking, but they were also all unique in their own right. The houses seemed to have their own personalities. I noticed an alligator slither into some bushes and decided to walk on the opposite side of the street. Alligators are creepy.

The road ended in a cul de sac. In the backyard of the last house on the street were horses. They were chasing each other. I watched them curiously, surprised when the homeowner came up behind me with her groceries. She told me about the horses.

I had noticed before that there was a cathedral neighboring this house as well and I made a point to visit it. When I walked inside, I saw that it was multi-level. The ground level was a foyer that lead downstairs into the main cathedral area. I leaned against a railing and looked down into the church. I noticed that there were a lot of old women with candles praying in different parts by the altar. One of them walked up to me, gave me a candle to light, and insisted that I make a wish.

I had decided on my wish (which I can't tell, or else it won't come true!). The old woman only said to me, "be careful what you wish for."

Akira

I saw Akira's name somewhere.

Meth Smugglers

I was in a museum with Ginger and we were smuggling meth, for some brilliant reason that made sense at the time. The museum was covered in ice (HA. I get it subconscious! You made a pun!!!!) and was super dangerous to be in. Outside of the window were heavy waves of water.

Substitute Donkeys

I was at a dance club with Kestrel. The dance club was odd though, because it met in a foresty park but also in the water (like the wavey coastline, but in the middle of a forest). A lot of different age groups were there. Kestrel and I sat down on a bench and I wondered if I could find anything to eat. Suddenly, cake appeared on the bench next to us. Hell yeah!

While I was scooping up a handful of cake, I looked into the trees and noticed that people were riding donkeys on the trails. Unfortunately, the donkey-supplier must have ran out of donkeys because some other people were riding on humans dressed up as donkeys. What a terrible, terrible job. They must have been working their ass off.

Kes and I went back to our respective homes and chatted online while I was trying to finish a quiz for class that was due the next morning. I couldn't understand any of it!

Whoops

I was being bussed to a different medical campus with my peers. We were having a review for our exam. We started working on problems and I quickly realized that I had no idea what was going on. We were trying to solve pharmacogenetic problems with integrals! No! We haven't even learned pharmacogenetics yet! And hell if you are going to solve them with integrals.

I decided to leave and took an elevator out. The elevator got jammed and something scary happened that I don't quite recall, which set the building on fire. I took a bus home like nothing happened and then watched the med building burn to the ground from my apartment.

Ebola

I had Ebola. I was surprisingly not even worried about it though, since we had found a blood transfusion donor to donate antibodies.

Chess and Vodka

I was at a surprise party where we played human chess and drank vodka.

First Lucid Since My Life Went Cray

I took an hour-long nap and had this dream.

In the dream, I false awakened and felt super high. I just assumed that I had taken some acid, a natural assumption of course. I stumbled to my computer and then sat down and actually thought about the situation on my hands. I thought about how I still needed to study for my exam, but that was going to be much more difficult now.

I then realized no way in hell I would be that dumb to take acid the night before an exam. I deducted that I was dreaming.

I slept unusually well last night and didn't remember much. I had a dream remembered but now it's gone.

Here's an emoticon instead.

Conglomerate of dreams from the past few nights. this room is super cold so my hands are freezing. I keep them short.

Big House

Kes and I moved into a new "apartment." There were super huge rooms and super tiny rooms. I looked for my assigned room, only to be thoroughly disappointed that it was one of the tiny ones. So tiny, in fact, that when I tried to lay down I couldn't even stretch out all the way. Oh, also there wasn't a mattress. Or a wall separating the bathroom. So basically I was living in a tiny ass bathroom. The other rooms in the apartment/house were disproportionately huge. In a corner, I found a tiny door. I wanted to go through it, but I was distracted by a kid.

More Surgery

I had to undergo more surgery for my foot. I don't remember the dream well, but I do remember waking up in a field of grass.

Little Party

I was hosting a small DDR party.

Spooky Planet

I was Minecrafting. They had released a new monster that would stalk you. The monster was made of blue flames and was pretty terrifying. I fell asleep somewhere and false awakened in a black 3D grid. I realized I was dreaming and decided to the planet ToTM. I expanded into a planet. I was a hollow planet full of magma and strange masks. It was super creepy.

Boats and Stuff

I was at my undergraduate campus. I was in a ship that was parked in the tree-y area. From the ship I was watching people do a play in Spanish. The ship took off and I started talking to a friend I haven't seen in awhile. We hung out at the ocean and just talked.

Late and Stressed

I was running half an hour late for an exam. I got there and started working on my exam, but it was really hard to concentrate because people were so loud. I thought to myself how this might be a dream, because this was an unusually stressful situation, but I didn't take the thought further than that.

I had a dramamine sleep last night, but was plagued with thoughtmares (where I 'wake up' unable to think my own thoughts).

Floating in Space

I was doing something that caused me to think about doing a reality check. I discovered that I was dreaming. I knew logically that I was dreaming but still had that nagging what if so I ran outside and flew into the air to prove it to myself (rather than jumping out a window). I flew into space and noticed two very strange looking spaceships. They were shaped like two spiky gears fused together. The middle parts of the gears were hollow, and I decided that would be a great place to sit. I flew up to the purplely spaceship and had a seat.



And it was goddamn beautiful. Usually when I am in chilling out in space, I am flying past everything. And even if I stop for a moment, it's not for long. But this time, I got to experience just sitting down and floating in space, with my feet dangling in the air. Dimensionality came alive.

After a couple minutes, the universe and all of its pinkness started swirling around me as I realized I was falling into a black hole. My little cubby hole seat became increasingly tight and I decided it was time to evacuate. I flew off and false awakened.

I woke up next to Ginger. He recited to me the dream that he had just had, which was about cupcakes.

Brain Surgery

I was sitting with two other people and we were in a trial group for some kind of physical therapy that would reprogram our broken nerves. In the dream, my nerve damage was a lot worse than it is in real life, extending all the way up my leg. I told the researcher that I had undergone a type of brain surgery to reprogram my neurons, but it didn't work.

Thursday Already?

It was Thursday. Already.

Red Haired Girl

My mother, Ginger, and I were riding in the car when we had an accident and drove ourself into a ditch. We couldn't find the road so we drove through someone's field, hoping they wouldn't notice. We left tracks so big they were definitely going to notice.

We finally managed to find a dirt road. We drove past a single house and on the lawn was a man who looked completely stumped as to why someone was just driving through his field. He hopped in his car and drove after us. My mother and him got into an argument and suddenly I was sad about my sister dying, out of nowhere.

I walked down the street and into a random house. At first glance, I thought that a bunch of homeless people were camping there, but then I realized that I had run into a human trafficking joint. Slumped in the corner was a young girl with red hair. I felt the immediate urge to get her out of here. The other prisoners warned me that if the pimps found out then I would be hunted down and killed, but I didn't care. I got the girl to run away with me and we made it safely back to my house (which was unfortunately only down the street). She lived with me for awhile before the traffickers discovered her new home.

They invaded our house, guns blazing. We hid in the basement and actually did manage to escape.

Eye Contact

I was in a fast food restaurant with a couple other people. There were some teenagers sitting together at the side of the restaurant. They had shortish black hair. I kept accidentally making eye contact with one of them and it was weird. Weirder was, seeing them again later in the dream.

September 24th

Shitting in the Bathtub

I was living again in the shared house thing I used to live in. I wanted to take a shower, but people kept shitting in the showers. I was real mad and about to have a...shit fit.

Study Abroad

I woke up in the UK. I realized that I had signed up to study abroad. My host family consisted only of a woman who was super drugged up. I walked outside until I found a store that sold strange blankets and posters. It was like an IKEA for blankets. I called Kestrel on the phone and she said she was in the UK too, and also in a similar shop.

Little Film

I had a small part in a film. My role was just to hula hoop for a few seconds and do a trick.

September 24th

Sick Babies

I woke up 6 hours too late for my exam. I had waken up in the afternoon, and I felt embarrassed about calling my professor and trying to explain to her why I had woken up so late. My reasoning wasn't even good. I had had a party the night before. I did manage to get things cleared up with her, though, and realized that I only had about an hour until my fraternity met. I rushed to put on clothes, which was surprisingly difficult.

I ran to our building but everyone had left already. I was too late. I walked out and into a plaza in a city. All around me were mothers standing around next to hospital beds. On the beds were sickly (and some of them were dead...) babies.

this guy again

I was in the backseat of a car. Two guys were in the driver and passenger seat. They were telling me that they wanted to show me something cool, but I had a deep feeling of dread. They were driving the car somewhere steeply uphill, and the terrain seemed desert-y. I just knew I had to get out of that car, immediately. And I did. But I don't remember how.

Later, I walk into a white/grey room. In some water was an Asian girl who had seemed to drown. I pulled her out of the water and checked for a pulse. A few seconds later, she suddenly came back to life and started screaming. She was panicking and telling me about a man who had just been here. He had tortured her endlessly and then tried to drown her.

Later again, I was sitting on a bed with Kestrel. She was really upset, telling me about a guy that she had been dating shortly. She told me that at first he was a real fun guy, but when she discovered that he was torturing small animals, he became hostile and aggressive. I had memories of this guy, and I remembered that he had made an appearance in my dreams several years back. I even remembered the bastard's name.

September 25th

recovered memories

This was a weird dream that I am going to keep vague.

I was skating down the street at my undergraduate campus. I was skating to where I used to live, in order to visit Ginger. I ran across someone that I knew and we had a talk about how things had changed already. After she left, I discovered that I was definitely secretly a ninja, as I could run and fly in the air. I think this was a small hint that I was dreaming, but it didn't go full-thought at that point.

I finally arrived at Ginger's house but remember barely anything about that.

Later, I was walking down a long hallway. I sort of knew I was dreaming? My goal was to visit memories in my past, and so I walked into a classroom and found myself back in 2nd grade. It was really vivid, and I actually re-remembered something that I can confirm. In the dream, I sat down next to a girl who was always mean to me, and she had the same name as I. I had totally forgotten about her until I woke up.

Kes was there later? I don't know it was strange.

Going to Museums Naked

I was with Kestrel and we decided to go to a museum. Naked.

Blah blah blah and later I had lost her somewhere so I decided to go sit outside by a water fountain. I noticed that I was only mildly anxious about being naked, which triggered the thought, "I think this might be a dream...because in reality, I would be a lot more concerned about being naked." I did a reality check, but was surprised when it passed.

Covered Wagons

My mother and I went to a store that sold interesting hippy clothing. Nothing fit though, so we decided to hitch up a covered wagon (Oregon trail styled) to the back of our car and go to grandma's house. It was super duper hot outside.

void of echoes

I had become lucid and found myself in a black void. Despite the darkness, the dream itself was as vivid as day. The void was like a dark room with no walls. I could walk on a surface but didn't see anything beneath me. In the darkness I decided to call out for Kestrel. I heard echoes of voices around me and ran to her when I heard hers. I could hear her and feel her presence but I couldn't see her and she wasn't aware of me. It was pretty strange, but what was stranger was waking up and seeing how not even thirty minutes had passed since I had first gone to bed for the night. I was also sort of sitting up in bed.

Spear Fishing

I was at a campground with Kestrel. We must have been pretty far north, since we were concerned about grizzly bears. On at least two occasions, bears had come up to us but hadn't given us any trouble at all. If anything, they were friendly to us. We decided that we were going to fish and then eat what we caught. For some reason I decided I would go spear fishing, and was just as surprised as Kestrel was when I actually caught a large fish. Kestrel and I prepared the fish for dinner and somehow it turned into a beautiful big plate of salmon. It was delicious.

Same Campground, Gone Bad

I was at the same campground at a later time with my mother. I had come back because I had realized that I left some food sitting out and I wanted to retrieve it before it became a mess. There were a lot more people at the campground, this time. I went inside the main lodge to talk with some of the other visitors who were preparing to camp. Somewhere in the lodge I made the discovery that there was some kind of evil presence haunting the camp ground. And we needed to leave. Now. I don't know if I saw something or heard something, but I just knew we needed to leave.

I tried and tried to get my mother to leave with me, but she was stuck like glue. And I mean this literally. I would pull on her to come with me and leave, and she would elastically snap back into the lodge dreamscape. It was so strange. The entire time I felt like the presence was laughing at my futile attempts to save my mother.


-----------------------------------------
some dreams from the previous nights

München

I was with Kestrel and we were staying at a dorm in München. The dorms had a very open-floor plan, which was actually annoying since we had no privacy. The 'principle' of the dorm was a total creep. We were both very upset when we discovered that we would have to take an overnight freight train, every school night, to get to our classes on time. Our classes were across the country! I remember that my upsetness was almost offset when I learned that we were going to get free breakfast and lunch everyday.

These Lights

I tried to turn on a light and it wasn't coming on. I did a reality check. It passed.

It storms a lot in my dreams

I was sitting in bed working on an online course that I don't even have. I was on such a roll that I was slightly disappointed when the course said that I would need to read two specific books to continue. BOOOOO. Oh well, I would have to go to the library to pick them up. It was storming real bad outside, but whatever. Storms are cool.

I walked to the library but got completely distracted by a random mall. The mall was more like a festival. A festi-mall. I don't know. But it was distracting as hell.

While I was in the mall, I heard tornado sirens from outside. I don't know what the fuck possessed me to run outside like a dumbass, but I did. I decided I was needed at home instead of being trapped in the mall, I suppose. I started running home and saw tanks on the road. Maybe this storm was gonna be reeeeeeeeal bad. Cool.

I started running home when I noticed my shoes were like the worst thing ever right now. I looked down and noticed I was wearing flats. Of course. I kicked them off and ran down the road barefoot, just barely thinking, "hmmmm I can't physically walk/run IRL...but hey I am running for my life so I guess miracles DO happen!"

Once I got home, I saw that my mother, Ginger, and Kestrel were there and relieved to see that I had made it home. My mother told me that the neighborhood had decided to all take refuge in one of the foreclosed homes (which hasn't been foreclosed for like....8 years now). I didn't understand why our basement wasn't good enough!

Telepathic Animal Crackers

Some kid showed me a new brand of animal crackers. They were especially special, because when you had one in your mouth you could focus it to appear somewhere across the room. I thought this was the best thing in existence. I was having fun with my animal crackers when I heard loud motor-like sounds around me. I was high up in an apartment building, so this was strange. I looked out the window and saw cars flying towards me in the sky. WTF. I hid behind a wall, because that would definitely protect me from the car-apocalypse going on outside. I don't remember exactly what happened in the rest of the dream, but I know that it was full of colors and someone explicitly told me that I could do whatever the hell I wanted if I put my mind to it (in a telekinetic-awesome way, not in an inspirational-mooshy way).

Fuck Indiana

I was on a plane and so happy to be there, because I thought I was going to Brazil. I was severely disappointed when it occurred to me that we were going to Indiana instead.

Tropical Water

I only remember fragments of this dream, but Kestrel and Ginger were there. We were at some kind of tropical island and I was swimming about in the clear, blue water. I think that mermaids may have been involved. I'm not really sure, but I also remember large boulders in the water and something about them. And then we were threatened by someone? We were digging a hole in the sand and I think we buried someone.

I have some things in my notes about being in a forest, but I don't remember anything about it.

Alice and the Dragon

I was Alice from Alice in Wonderland and I was happily scaling a cliff face like a rad mountain goat.



A dragon was leading the way for whatever reason. I suddenly realized that I was up a billion feet in the air clinging to a cliff face so close to certain doom.

I pretty much panicked and decided it was time to not even move otherwise I was going to definitely die. To my luck, I noticed a window slightly above me. Ever so carefully, I opened the window and was so glad it was unlocked. I lifted myself up and crawled through the window and found myself in an empty apartment. The apartment was built into/inside the mountain.

I went to an adjacent room where I could see down the cliff. At the bottom, a bunch of cliffs came together to form a violently raging river. There was a massive whirlpool. It was definitely the fastest and most violent river I had ever seen. If anyone even got close to it, it would mean certain death for them. I really wanted to get to the top of the cliff so I could see the stars when night time came. And Akira was there.

Haunted Pyramid

I was semi-lucid in what appeared to be an elaborate haunted house. The entire thing took place inside an Egyptian pyramid.

To enter, you had to crawl hands and knees through a dark, muddy, slimy tunnel. Once you passed through the tunnel, you were in a small house. The electricity was cut so it was dark. You were left on your own to explore the dark house. I went in and out of bedrooms observing realistic corpses thrown on the ground like ragdolls. Their entrails were scattered across the room. In the closets were strange beings that I can't really describe.

I found a flight of stairs that took me to a level lower in the pyramid. I suddenly found myself in a completely different era.



I found myself in a ridiculously vivid late-1930s era bar. I took a seat and looked at their drink menu. I noticed another stairwell materialize next to me and went down it.

This time, I found myself in a slimy, grimy, torture-prison cell. They were unlike normal prison cells, though. They weren't built into the wall, but were rather free standing groups of iron bars. Like this:



It was really dark in here, too. And mucky. And water was dripping from the black stone ceiling. I navigated out of the cell I was in and found solitary confinement cells built into the walls. The entire scene reminded me of the Amnesia prison area. Unnerving. And I was definitely not alone in there.

I opened the prison cells that were built into the wall to find piles of people in them, jumping out and pleading me to release them. At least they weren't dead.

I eventually crawled out of the strange haunted pyramid/haunted house/time travelling weird thing that I got myself lost in and sat down next to my grandpa on a chair. I could feel that he was glad that I was sitting next to him. I barely get to see him.


Badass Elevator

My apartment building replaced its normal boring elevator with a real badass elevator. It was similar to a waterslide/log flume. I loved it. Later they decided to expand it to the whole building by adding a wave pool. Which would definitely be inappropriate and annoying in real life, if random waves came where you were trying to live.

Icy Shards Project

I was working with my sister on a project. We were sitting at little tables working on the project and when we left it was icy outside, something to do with ice shards.

Long Building

I was walking through a building that had campus and apartment combined into a very long building. The building was uncomfortably hot inside. Some of my peers invited me to study with them in the cafeteria. I explored the cafeteria and saw there were a bunch of irrelevant shops inside. Some shops sold mattresses. One of them was an arcade. They had a Dance Dance Revolution machine, and I wished that I could play except I can't. Stupid broken foot.

Later I was in an apartment on the far side of the building watching tiny ghosts and fairies. A guy comes out of his bedroom and introduces himself. We talk.

Later-later I was in the mid-section of the building dressed up in Victorian era clothing.

No recalled dreams. Except one.

And what was that one?

Also I'm not sure if I've said this before, but I can't not see the guy in your avatar as Nic Cage for some reason. It just looks like him somehow.

Fine you loser I will change it.

Slept fitfully last night

Might want to get that checked out

I was boarding a bus, when the rocky movements made me suddenly motion sick. I threw up blood. Yikes. No one around me seemed to mind, and they started breaking out into song as if this was the beginning of a musical.

at a festival

I was at a festival. There was a lot of tropical fruit there.

test

I had a lab-test in a few days. Everyone said it was pretty easy, so I didn't worry much. I went to sleep in a closet.

October 14

Recurring Dream

I thought this recurring dream was over with, but I guess not. It followed the same basic suit as the others: I'm in highschool again and about to ride the bus home, which I will miss, but it won't matter anyways because I will discover that the buses don't service my neighborhood anymore.

This one started out in a lecture hall. In the front of the room was a lopsided bird statue. The lecture was mindblowingly boring. When the lecture got out, I wanted to get food for the bus ride home (the lecture was in my high school). I walked up to a quesodilla stand and noticed that their quesodillas were lacking. They were instead sausages wrapped in pita bread. There wasn't even any queso to the dilla. Frustrated I left the line and ran out to the busses, which I had already missed. I kept walking to a playground near a middle school or an elementary. I looked in the window and saw that the students were still there even though it was 4 or 5 pm.


October 15

The DEA

I was in a basement and some people were telling me not to go upstairs by distracting me with things to do. Eventually I was too curious so I snuck upstairs and saw that the DEA was raiding my apartment. WTF. They told me that my room mate had snitched on me. They were searching but couldn't find drugs. They came across an OTC drug and told me that having it in my possession was enough to convict me. I remember the huge smirk on the DEA woman's face. It was weird. I was really angry that my room mate had tried to set me up like this. My friend suggested to me that the DEA were abusing their power and this could be appealed in court or something.

kidnapped and stuff

I was sneaking around in someone's house. I think they were a famous painter or something. But I was definitely not supposed to be there. He came home early and wasn't pleased to see me, so I got my ass kidnapped. In my defense, I'm pretty sure there was some shady shit going down in that house.

working on the roof

I was at someone's house and we were rebuilding a roof.

in a tent with ants

I was with Kestrel and we were in a tent (not a tent that you sleep in...ermm....an...event tent...idfk what it's called) and it was full of ants. We were playing with them.

no lights

I flipped on a light switch but no lights came on. I did a reality check. Don't remember its outcome though.
