I dreampt I was riding my bike on rocks in the dark. I was wishing I had a mountain bike instead of what I was riding.  I got to an empty city and I found my way inside a house.  I could hear voices but sometimes where I heard them was where I had been but I could not get back. The doors seemed to lock and unlock at random. All of the windows were sealed.  Some of the doors where in places I could not reach like over staircases in the ceiling. I felt I was running from someone but I also thought the voices were not who I was running from.  I found a family of only children.  The oldest girl was taking care of everyone and their parents were gone.  The parents must have found a way out and not a way back in, or they left deliberately. Everyone was terrified of being separated in the house so we all went everywhere together. One night during a storm I was reading the children a story and there was a ghost of a woman on the outside of the window and we were scared she would come in and take the children.  Everyone ran and of course, things got mixed up with people on different floors of the house.  The house seemed to rearrange itself to keep us apart. When I looked out the windows I never saw people but sometimes I saw things change like one night a house would have Christmas lights up. I don't know how we all escaped but later in the dream, we were all in a field for some sort of festival and we had to climb these very tall trees to scare a mass of crows away. The field was covered in marshmallows and some of the kids stopped to eat them but the adults ran for the trees and climbed up with wasps nests on sticks to make the birds leave. From the top of the trees, we could see that one of the children in our family was eating the marshmallows.  When we looked back again she had disappeared.  The girl never appeared again and I don't know where she went. We reminisced about this later in the dream and years later in life on a phone call.  I was on the other end of the call with the oldest sister who was now married to a man who was helping raise her siblings and their children.  The house was decorated for fall with the banisters all done in garland and leaves.  As we talked the sister looked at a replica of the wasp nests used to scare the crows away.  She wondered where her little sister was and then I woke up. 

Closer to danger, further from harm

August 14, 2017

I dreampt I was sleeping and that I couldn't wake up.  I knew I had to wake up because we lived in a haunted house and the presence in the basement was trying to keep me.  I kept telling myself to wake up but my mouth wouldn't move and the person in bed with me could not hear me.  I had an out of body experience where I could see me frozen in sleep.  I did finally wake up or was awakened and the other person didn't realize that I had been in danger at all.  We got up and I realized that the front porch lights didn't work, you could flip them on but they made a strange sound. Oddly the sound they made was like a whirr with the a clacking and it was like these noise makers we had outside to scare away the spirits or maybe just to warn that they were coming. I think we had some sort of sprinkler system that was also meant to keep spirits off the property. I knew not to go outside to change the lights at night time.  I knew I could only go outside during the day and then only then with someone to watch my back. Outside was full of spirits who both wanted us and feared our house at the same time.  The spirits wanted us to leave the house so they could have the thing in the basement.  We had to stay in the house to keep the thing safely away in the basement even though we were very scared of it and it could easily pull any one of is into a coma which was certain death. A spirit boy came to the house and asked for something we didn't have.  Someone at the house told me you have to give them just the right thing so they don't get angry but also so they don't come back.  I have him the bottoms of some green onions but I was told to tell the boy they were rampions. We went to the basement to get light bulbs, we had a tiny wooden shaft that was like an elevator but really small enough to be a dumb waiter and at times it felt like it would stop or that it would go too far down to be in the house anymore, lower like way down in the dirt where the presence was. 

Buildings

May 13, 2017

I dreampt about a lot of buildings.  I was walking around town climbing into old buildings and trying to guess what they were.  One of the buildings was a small one room church and it was missing a wall and also half filled with dirt so there was a giant mound of it in the center of the building.  I dreampt about a house with a garden in the backyard and also a big city with bridges over water. I dreampt we were on a driving tour like a safari but we had to leave and we couldn't figure out how to get to the exit so we drove places that we weren't supposed to. There was a building that I knew was a bar but the roof was curved so that the walls went up and then came back down on the other side so really there wasn't a roof.  It was more like an airplane hanger.  It wasn't very tall though so maybe it was a polebarn?  I know I had a drink while I was there and I met a friend from another job so I think is still too young to drink. 

I saw a house that was haunted, there were dead people under the house.  If you wanted to escape the house you had to put someone else under the house to take your place.  I saw a very stereotypical haunted movie girl with long, dark hair and a white dress and she was being dragged under the house but it seemed like the house was an illustration while the girl was real so it all seemed like the prologue to a movie with narration.  The girl had her hands up over her head and as she was pulled lower and lower her features started to disappear and like first her eyes went one at a time and I think they had Xs on instead like she was becoming a doll.  Then while she was sinking lower she was crying and the man who was escaping was yelling "who do you choose," because she could put someone else under the house as an offering instead.  The girl was really scared to make someone else go through this so she just stayed under the house. 

Stories and sports

November 18, 2016

I dreampt a man, a woman and a child told me a story about three haunted buildings and how the haunting at each were connected. In my dream I walked by three buildings that were empty and surrounded by chain link fence.  I think they used to be part of a collect campus.  I realized that the family I met each of them was the spirit for one of the buildings.

I dreampt I got a participation medal for playing field hockey and later I dreampt I was at a field hockey camp. At one point I was late for practice because I went to a garden center and there was a snake under the bench I was sitting on.
