Queen Zukin's Dream Journal

Dream #1: Eating rocks

I'm hiking along a nature path in the desert when a dad and his two kids pass me, running down a hill instead of staying on the path. They climb down to what appears to be a hole in the ground.

A little intrigued, I follow them. I find that they are standing in front of a ~20 foot hole that looks as if it may lead into a cave system. The dad doesn't even hesitate and jumps down into it. I cringe when I think about his knees. The first boy jumps down as well, but when he lands he collapsed and loses consciousness. The dad doesn't seem to concerned and explains to the second boy that his brother should regain consciousness in a few minutes.

I'm not really sure if I want to risk the 20+ foot jump, so I observe along with the second boy. The first boy wakes up and goes into the cave system with his dad.

The other boy and I slowly descend the hill and find another entrance into the cave, except its covered with some red rocks. I decide the best way to move these rocks is to eat them. Logical. :chuckle:

When I arrive in the cave, it seems like a farmer from the 1800s lived there and farming artifacts remain. As I continue through the cave, it becomes increasingly more modernized and suddenly I am standing in a fully built modern kitchen. In fact, there is even a back door that leads to a porch with a swimming pool.

I get into the swimming pool and float around for a few minutes before realizing that the water around me is disturbingly orange. Not sure what I am swimming in, I get out. I pass back into the kitchen and the father and his two boys are playing video games in the cave-den.

Dream #2: Biking fragment

I was biking down a dirt path.

Dream #3: Graduation

I was graduating from grad school. Instead of walking down the aisle (or whatever they do) we sledded down.

Dream 1: Anger and frustration

I think I had just come home from running a marathon and I was bathing myself and the dog in a bath that was on a balcony. Enjoyed the bath, did not enjoy the old men staring.

When I came back inside, I walked to my room with my towel & robe as in the dream I still lived with my ex-room mate. Upon opening my door, I found that his psychotic ex-girlfriend was asleep in my bed. I was enraged that he let her do this again and went into the main room and started yelling. My room mate was high off his rocker and didn't seem to understand what I was telling him.

I managed to get her out of my room. My room then turned into a fenced off outdoor patio, and she was walking around it. Ugh.

Dream 2: Hamsters

I went to a pet store and looked at mice and hamsters.

I had one of those nights last night where I fell asleep wearing headphones and woke up mildly confused and didn't write down any dreams, but I do remember some fragments.

Dream #1 Presentation fragment

I was about to give a quick presentation that I wasn't 100% prepared for, but I knew it would be okay anyways.

Dream #2: creepy door

I keep remembering fragments in which my bedroom door keeps spontaneously opening at night. I'm really hoping it's a fragment and not some weird paranormal-doing when I'm asleep. :paranoid:

Dream #1: The Missing Computer

Kestrel dropped off the computer at my parent's house, but we completely lost track of it. It was in the box it came in - somewhere. There were boxes scattered across the house so I wasn't even sure which one to look in. Had it been taken out of its original box and then put into another box within the house? It was a mystery. I almost found the computer on at least 5 separate occasions, but it turned out to be a computer-look-a-like. In fact, on one occasion I even found a mini-computer. I opened it up and found some of my old files on there.

Dream #2: Walk around the neighborhood

Some (very) old neighborhood friends and I decided to go for a walk around the 'hood. As we were walking we found a baby kitten, but both of its parents had died of dehydration due to a drought. We discussed rescuing it.

We kept walking and instead of walking past a neighbors house we walked literally through it. We opened the door, walked into the kitchen, talked with the owner of the house, and then walked through a glass hallway and into a barer looking kitchen. This kitchen seemed emptier and had more cabinet space. The cabinets were pale blue and may have overlooked some scenery. Across from these cabinets was a glass staircase that lead to a glass slide back to the main kitchen.

We continued past the kitchen and into a room that was full of thousands of trinkets. I remember thinking about how much dust these things must accumulate and how difficult it would be to clean all of this. The room seemed like an antique store, in that it was rooms upon rooms that didn't really seem to make logical sense and were just filled with thousands of trinkets.

We went back to the kitchen where the owner of the house was chopping up some vegetables on a nifty cutting board and then exited the house. We decided to walk through the lawn of the neighbor's house instead.

Dream #3: Taco

Dream fragment of a taco. Literally nothing except the image of a taco. :chuckle:

Dream #1: Dark Field:

A rusty bus dropped me off in the middle of a field. It was nighttime and pitch black. There was no one around for miles.

I turned on the flashlight on my phone and saw a wire fence. I walked up to it, guessing that maybe I could follow it until it lead back to a house or something.

My phone was dying. It was at 8%. It usually dies at around 14%. I started running, trying to cover as much ground as I could because once this phone died I was effectively blind.

The flashlight on my phone shut off and my phone was dead. I realized the gravity of my situation - here I was, out here alone, possibly tens (or hundreds?) or miles away from any one else. The night was so black I could not see more than 3 inches away from my face.

I traced the wire fence with my hands, using it as a guide of where to walk. I fished around in my bag for anything that might help me out. I found a pair of glasses. I put them on and the scenery around me did not get brighter but it did get 100 times clearer. In fact, now I could just barely make out the framework of a house in construction. But something didn't feel right about this object instantly appearing before me when I put the glasses on, so I did a reality check. Dreaming. I flew away, and then probably woke up.

Dream #2: Apartment Switch

My ex-roommate and I swapped apartments. Neither of the two apartments looked like the originals that we lived in after the swap.

Later in the dream I was in an antique store, that seemed to represent a neighboring town. I opened up some drawers and found some moldy food in a plastic container.

Dream #1: The Child

I had a child - a little girl. Someone one day dropped her off at my house and said she was mine. I wondered if I should do genetic testing, because I didn't remember being pregnant, and then I realized the absurdity of that statement. But I took her in anyways.

I also had two husky pups. The pups were interacting incredibly intelligently with the little girl (as in...doing handstands with her and playing patty cake). I think the puppy may have even spoke to me??? I remember a human voice coming from the puppy and then seeing the Eye of Horus coming at me. This dream feels very significant.

Dream #2: Children's Hospital

I was touring a children's hospital. They went outside and between two buildings to show the group where the rain collects when it floods. They had build an irrigation system that took the excess water and made it into a lovely little river.

Dream #3: Asbestos Bomb

I was visiting a large swimming pond. Everyone was enjoying their day when planes started flying over the sky. They were dropping giant bombs made of asbestos. People were running out of the pond, totally not expecting to be asbestos-blasted. A kid asked me what was happening and I explained to him that this was completely normal, they did it to get rid of 'bad' bacteria. :chuckle:

The asbestos created an ice-like layer over the pond and people started walking on it. I was walking on it with my mom and a friend or two when it breaks and we fall in. A small girl also falls in and we notice that she hasn't come back yet. Alarmed that she might be stuck under the ice-like-layer, I swim under the water and try to find her but it is so dark that I can't see anything. She didn't come back up.

Later in the dream I am trying to find out what happened to her. There is a department store build over the pond now and I am looking in their filing cabinet for any documentation of her. Couldn't find any.

My friend asked me to explore the dreams of her step-child and see if I could get any perspective into what she has been going through. I think that's what prompted all the dreams I had about a little girl the other night. I've known her for awhile, and she is a sweet thing, but comes from a troubled past. I knew I needed to start on this soon, and was putting it off, since it takes a little bit of effort before bed to cause dream synchronicities between people. I started last night, and woke up so drained this morning, I felt like I didn't even care to write down any dreams. It's normal for me to wake up tired sometimes, but not drained.

Sloppy Joes

I was making sloppy Joes, but had a broken leg and couldn't move. Someone had brought me the meat, but it was not the meat I needed (not ground beef) and it came from several different animals (including goat). I tried with what I had.

No dreams posted the other night due to not sleeping 95% of the night. Ugh.

Dream #1: Scimitar

Pretty sure this was a lucid - but I only remember this fragment. I was walking towards my parent's living room when suddenly my mom jumped out from around the corner with a knife. I summoned a knife myself, but didn't want to hurt her. 99% sure even though it's a dream I'll still get emotional.

When she ran off, I had fun making the knife into a large version of itself and then into a scimitar. Pretty sure I got a chance to battle with my scimitar as well.

Dream #2: Rotation fragment

I was at the hospital with my preceptor and she was hosting a party or a gathering. It lasted a really long time and I kept sneaking food whenever I could.

Dream #1: How About Not.

I dreamed it was 2 or 3 am and I woke up to a phone call from a prior preceptor. She was asking me to email her all of my documents from last month STAT. I laughed at her ridiculous request, told her I'd get to it whenever in the morning, and hung up.

Dream #2: Injection

I was at the doctor's office and they were going to inject me with a medication to stimulate bone growth. I hate injections so I was tense. I was afraid of anaphylaxis as well. Nothing bad happened, though later in the dream I couldn't open my mouth - though that was probably due to me clenching my jaw IRL.

Dream #3: Here, but not here

Kestrel and I were at a festival, yet she said that she had to fly to Colorado tonight to go to a star park.

Dream #1: Doesn't Feel Right

I was moving back into my childhood home - alone and on my own. My mom and I walked back into the old neighborhood. There were hedges on every lawn and they fenced off every house very elegantly. We walked past a woman who wasn't nice. I don't remember what she said to us.

When we went inside the house, everything was familiar yet nothing like I had remembered it. The furniture from my current parent's house was overlaid over the rooms from my childhood home. I felt very uneasy and I suddenly wasn't sure that I wanted to move in here, alone. On top of that, there was this spooky feeling as I remembered that this house has a history of being...haunted.

I was having some serious second thoughts of moving in.

Later, my mother and I went to the grocery store. The cashier was rude, and I called her out for being on drugs.

Dream #2: Bathbombs

I was at a mall with Kestrel and some other people. We ran into a store where they sold bath bombs. I was elated, because where I live IRL, you would have to drive at least 2 or 3 hours to find a legit bath bomb. She told her not to buy them, because she knew of an even better place...

Dream #3: Potential lucid

Brief fragment of flying over clouds.

Dream #4: New Year's Eve

I was with my mother at a liquor store. The liquor store was ridiculously crowded and only in one aisle. My mom and I found what we needed and left. I suddenly remembered that it was New Year's Eve and I texted Dom that we need to kiss at midnight since we missed it last year.

Dream ~#5: Rollercoaster Tycoon

I'm convinced that I played Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 in at least half of my dreams last night. I made it so that the entrance was full of decor and the guests would be so wowed at the design and then a few blocks later they would buy a bunch of wearable souvenirs. Love that game and blessed I have the chance to still play it in my dreams. :chuckle:

No dreams for August 15th 2018

Fragments last night

Dream #1

I was watching from my window the girl who lives next door (who I have never seen before) getting a new insulation for her apartment. The insulation was supposed to be taped on the wall to stop noise from neighbors. Oops.

Dream #1

Strange parking lots.

Dream #1: Pneumonia

I don't remember much from this dream, except that I had pneumonia. I suspect that I had this dream because of the allergies I have been having recently. I watched my ex-roommate's dogs last weekend and let them sleep in my bed even though I'm allergic to dogs. I've been feeling a little short of breath and hard of breathing every time I crawl into bed because of it.

August 18th 2018

Dream #1: Haven't Studied

I was about to take the board exam and I hadn't prepared for it - at all. I was briefly looking over some notes but I knew at this point it wouldn't do any good. So I went to the store and bought some poptarts.

Dream #2: The Sims but in a nursing home

I was playing the Sims 3 but instead of playing a household I was playing a nursing home. One of the neighbors children was going to marry the heir of the nursing home.

August 19th 2018

No dreams - got way too drunk

Dream 1: Saving my little bro

I had a little brother in this dream, and he was about to be attacked on the beach. He managed to call us (my parents and I) before it happened and we all drove there in separate cars.

Dream 2: Sleep Graph

I was looking at a graph of how long I slept last night (had lots of trouble falling asleep) and it said that I got 54 minutes of sleep at 3:57, which would be totally wrong because I wake up at 4:15.

Dream 3: Levitating

I was hula hooping and started levitating - I realized I was dreaming.

[Dream 1: Lucid Fragment

I remember flipping a light switch but no lights came on - I did a reality check and confirmed I was dreaming.

Dream 2: Hoop Class

Mary and I were rushing to get to our hoop class in time but we were afraid we were going to be late and not be set up in time. My sister was also dating my boyfriend's best friend and they were getting serious.

This may have been a separate dream, but I was in a parking lot when I see a fellow hooper. She invites me to her class, which is at noon on Saturdays.

There is definitely something paranormal going on here.

Dream #1: You Let the Psycho In

My old room mate was living with me now in my new apartment. And he decided it would be a great fucking idea to invite his clinically insane ex-girlfriend over. I was irate with him - I don't want her to know where I live! THAT'S WHY I MOVED OUT.

Dream #1: Punish Me

I should have wrote this dream down as soon as I woke up cause this was hot.

I was given an assignment to journal the events of some happenstance, and occasionally report back to my supervisor. The first time I came to him with results, I was a little late, but I had worked hard. I was reprimanded for the lateness of my assignment, but praised on my work. He said that if this happened again, I would have to be punished. The way he looked at me I knew I was going to even later on my next assignment...

And so I was. And I was punished. And each time this assignment was due again I was sure to make it known that I hadn't learned my lesson last time. :doodletoss:

Dream #1: Forgetful Me

I forgot to wear a shirt to lab. And a tampon. :paranoid:

I was a lot more worried about the tampon than I was the shirt, since I was wearing a skirt and feared for the worse. Later in the day, our professor wanted us to meet upstairs for a lab on Klebsiella Pneumonia (which were actually venus-fly trap looking plants in the dream), and I thought this would probably be a good time to put on a shirt. During our break, I walked with my classmates around campus and my goal was to find my bag that I had stashed a shirt in. However, we started walking in some underground tunnels (one of which had an entire shopping center full of clothes!), I wandered from the group, and got extremely lost. I eventually found my way back to ground level and into our main building, and went to the bathroom. While I was in the bathroom I saw helicopter search lights. The helicopter hovered over the bathroom window. I waved to them, still sitting on the toilet seat. I saw the helicopter operator mouthing "found her" into a walkie talkie and then fly off. Later, I got onto a train and Kestrel handed me a tampon, except I totally didn't know how to use it because it looked like the foil from a reece's peanut butter cup.

Dream #1: A very long dream full of disappointment and drugs

Dom was with me and my parents house! We were getting it on in my old bedroom...when the door opened. Not sure if someone was there, we stopped. My mother was outside in the hallway looking for something...

Later Dom told me that he wanted to go to a flow arts workshop with me. I was ecstatic! He said he was going to take a nap and we would get ready. I was excited, so I decided to start picking out what I was going to wear. In less than half an hour I was ready to go, but Dom was still sleeping. I was sitting on the staircase, balancing my computer and my weight on a tall ledge when some dude kicked my computer to the ground. Thanks man. I believe he got swift karmic justice somehow, but I don't remember how.

I have now been waiting so long that we have missed the entire event. Dom says he just wants to sleep. I am disappointed, so I decide to go for a walk. I mean to only walk around the dirt roads surrounding us, but I take a wrong turn and wind up in a college town. I have been here before in another dream. It doesn't exist in reality. I ask a DC how to get out of this maze of college buildings and they say that they used to leave through that street across from us, but now a building has been placed over it and it blocks passage to the other side of the road.

I start wandering around the town, and quickly realize that this is not the town I want to be wandering in. DCs are flashing guns at me through their cars, and it feels like literally everyone is staring. I find myself in a parking lot, and a friend of mine pops out of a car and tells me she is totally fucked up on drugs. She says that the police are probably after her.

I decide to text Dom and wait in the parking lot so that maybe he can pick me up.

Dream #1: Ghost House

I was in a house that I owned but it wasn't my house. It was very tall but very narrow and there were tiny square windows everywhere. A ghost lived inside. He seemed pretty friendly as there were plenty of opportunities to scare me pretty bad.

Dream #2: Throwing up Mac N Cheese

I was trying to make a long drive across the country to get back to Kestrel's, but I kept getting sidetracked. I went to a party and got into a man n' cheese eating contest, but I threw up all of the mac n cheese in the garden. People were talking about a convention and I was trying to download an audiobook for my trip. I think I went back and did a double check that I didn't forget anything before I left again.

Dream #1: Electric Dreamscape

I was at a music festival with Kestrel. It had been raining hard all day and we didn't have any set in particular that we wanted to see that night so I sat down and asked a guy what he was seeing tonight. He gave me a raised eyebrow look, and then told me the name of an artist that I will never remember.

Kestrel and I continued walking on the festival grounds until we came upon a large raised platform. On the platform were little drones. It was some kind of game in which the drones would beep and come after you if you moved certain objects, which you had to in order to win the game. After a couple of dreams the drones fly away and we were left talking to strangers. I realized all the sudden that Dom was with me, and that I hadn't seen him in ages, and attacked him with love. Except, before I could finish my entire attack, he got distracted and walked away. :cry:

Dream #2: On a Train

I was on a long train ride with my family. I sat down next to a teenage boy with dark hair. There was a seat inbetween us and he had the window seat. I put in my earbuds and listened to music. It was a long train ride.

Dream #3: Wasted Lucid

I suddenly became lucid - I think I had it in the back of my head that this was all a dream when the dream went unpleasant and I decided to ditch it for something better. Well, nothing better came from this dream because I flew away and into darkness. I had tried to fly through the ceiling, but I got lost in the ceiling and was in a dark place. I looked up (still in the ceiling) and saw a full moon, and overlaid on it was a purple skull. I had thought this would be a wonderful opportunity to do the task of the month BUT I FORGOT TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT IT WAS. I think I false awakened into my old bedroom.

Dream #1: Foreign Land

I was out in a foreign city with Dom - I think we were somewhere in Spain. It was very hilly and the streets were cobblestone and brick. We were renting a small apartment in a very large mansion.

After we got situated, we went for a bike ride in the city and tried to figure out what we were going to do that night. A local told us about a foam/glow party that was happening. Trying to get through the city, we had to walk through a tourist-trap like building that was an obstacle course and a playhouse put together. This building specifically boasting very nice padding for the knees (ugh, I'm getting old if I am actually dreaming about!!!!) but it was total lies. Absolute lies. The "padding" was actually just towels that, after many uses, were not evenly placed anymore.

Later, I was out biking around in the city on my own but I got lost. Coming back to the apartment I missed the street I was supposed to turn on. Dom had to come and find me and rescue me from my poor navigational skills.

Dream #1: Stars Fragment

Last night was one of those nights where i thought I wasn't going to get any sleep. Luckily I did, but I only remember a fragment of looking up to the stars and being in awe at how many of them there were.

Dream #1: Dreaming of Dreaming

I got a text from Kestrel that said that she had a dream the other night that may have been a shared dream. The rest of the dream I am dreaming that we are in the same dream together.
