Pack Your Bags

I dreampt I was at my grandmother‘s house in New Jersey, (which is weird because my grandmother is deceased and we don’t own the house in New Jersey anymore.) My grandmother said pack your things we’re going to Mongolia, but we took the house with us instead of just packing bags. When we got there, the house went from modern to made of stone. Also, some things inside the house were rearranged like the windows. In my room the window didn’t have a screen. This fact was important since the city we visited was having some kind of street fair so all these people from different countries and we were bartering with some of them through the open window.  My sister was a stilt Walker while we were there.  I also remember that there was another stone house next-door and the neighbor's dog was watching through the window while I was sleeping.  Also my mom was there but she didn't do any trading because she was on the phone while waiting for two checks to be delivered.

What's in the box?

I dreampt I was driving to a friend's house but I didn't have my GPS on so I drove through a farm field where I was chased by a cougar. Later I found out my friend and I were flying overseas but I hadn't packed. 

I dreampt people were squatting outside at my parent's house. i think they were using the internet.  we kept making them leave but they kept coming back.  Also, my dad was buying sod in these big white boxes and then hiding the empty boxes under the back porch which was really the deck at my house. 

I had a terrible dream I was in a class where the final was to compose a song with lyrics and then sing it in front of the class and it had to be at least a minute and a half long. It was absolutely terrifying but I did wake up before I had to sing.

I dreampt I inherited a furnished apartment in New York City. I think other families inherited similar units nearby in the buildings; some even on the same floor.  The area seemed very posh but the apartment was full of so much furniture and since I got the place from a family remember it was hard to get rid of anything because of the memories.  I found stashes of light bulbs and night lights all over the home. I took down all the heavy curtains and blinds so I could see the view of the city; after people protested I just yelled "it's not like I'm getting dressed out here."  People kept asking me if I played tennis and there was a huge organizer for tennis in the middle of the floor.  It was a tall black lattice structure that would hold all my rackets and clothing.  My uncle who put it together was going to show me how to take it apart and was helping me to tip it over when the dream ended. 

I dreampt I had to get to the university but navigating a roundabout that was over a set of train tracks. 

I dreamt I was at the library again and I had to plan summer reading.  Also, I was working with family at the desk.  I had to do a presentation but I only had shorts and sneakers to wear for it.   

Long Way Home

April 1, 2018

I dreampt I was running in the neighborhood around my parents house.  It seemed like hours.  I wanted to run a half marathon so I kept going but I got slower and slower.  I wanted to get the miles in so I stopped doing loops and just headed out.  I somehow ended up in the next city but I was too tired to get home. I stopped at a train station but I didn't want to ride the train I just wanted directions.  I was going walk on the wooded bike path that ran along the train track but it was so dark and I worried my cell phone flashlight would run out. Then I thought about walking home on the train tracks but it was still so very dark.  I think I took an Uber and they dropped me off at a dog shelter.  It looked so familiar but when the people came outside I didn't know them.  they wanted to hug and I worried they were fake.  Like they were supposed to pretend to know me but they really didn't.  I don't know how or if I got home. 

I dreampt it was Halloween and I had all these people at my house that I didn't know.  I kept looking out the peephole of the front door but I didn't see any children yet.  I did see a lot of cars parked up and down the street.  When I looked outside again I saw people congregating in the street and in the intersection.  They were all adults.  When the doorbell first rang I saw an adult but no child so I didn't open the door.  Every time the doorbell rang there were more and more adults on the porch and soon they were all around the house.  No one spoke. 

A boy was in bed in his room and he had a phone with an app that showed where people were.  It was like a special gps for family members.  He told his mom that his dad was on the app and in the house but mom said no that can't be true because they were divorced and didn't live withe them.  She said she would go look but I somehow knew that she she would not come back because the dad was going to kill her.  I don't know what happened to the boy.

I remember dreaming about eating barbecue.  

I dreampt I made these hybrid hermit crab creatures and some of them I was really scared of and they kept getting bigger.  I knew I had to kill them to stay safe but I still loved them too.
