Genre Mashup

I dreamt I worked in a cafeteria. I leaned under the counter to collect dropped change. As I stood up I got my head and knocked myself out. I woke up nearly an hour later and a coworker drove me to urgent care in his jimmy buffet themed classic car. Then I woke up.

I dreamt I helped a friend cut up a designer bag while we were in the store so she could have the zipper. 

I dreamt I made this pineapple dessert where you removed the core and filled the center with almonds and other ingredients.  Once you baked it, you could eat the pineapple by pulling off a segment at a time like monkey bread but because of the inside filling each section was a little a tiny pineapple upsidedown cake. 

I dreamt I was on break at the grocery store and the only thing we were allowed to eat was fried chicken.

I dreamt I was trying to get two bicycles out of my bedroom but I kept marking the walls. While I was cleaning I also found a cute elephant figurine in my room that was blue and gold. 

I dreamt I owned a light grey/silver suit with a white vest and blue tie. We were at a hotel with an indoor pool and a glass ceiling. 

Of course, I also dreamt I was in college again.

And I dreamt about my favorite television show Smallville.  Clark was trying to get high on drugs but the drug had kryptonite in it.  He collapsed at work, it was a park or a nature preserve. He wouldn't let anyone call 911 so the staff, including a friend of mine from grade school, got him into his truck so he could drive home.  I noticed that his boots were untied.  No one realized how badly Clark was shaking and that he couldn't drive so they just walked away and left him sick in his truck in the garage. 

I dreamt I was doing a dance routine, mostly tap, with Ray Charles.  We sang his music, mostly Busted over and over while dancing in the hallway at school.

I had a long dream about high school that combined elements of the school I work at now such as being in class as a student with my actual students from work.  I dreamt that I took my lunch bag to school but didn't pack a lunch so I planned to go home on my lunch break but instead  I left in 3rd period and skipped math. On my way home I couldn't go straight down the road because of a detour so I turned left only to realize the road was flooded and frozen.  I managed to veer around and miss the water.  I careened through the intersection I had just been in and ended up in frozen water on the other side of the road. I had to get my ice scraper from the trunk so I got out of the car and waded in the frozen water so I could get to the trunk.  After this, I just went back to school without my lunch.  I also somehow ripped my pants.  I spent recess stuck on a giant indoor swing for two people. I got very dizzy but the other person would not stop the swing to let me off and we were moving too high and too fast for me to jump.

Long Walk

March 7, 2018

I dreampt I was in the tv show The Handmaid's Tale.  I knew my group of men and women had been captured.  We were too be executed.  We didn't have to wear handcuffs.  Where do you hide dressed like that?  Red robe, big bonnet? I was in a school walking down long tiled hallways.  I wanted to do one last act of violence against the state before I was killed.  I saw candled along the walls for school children.  They were tiny votive candles.  I thought I could start a fire.  I tried to smash the candle holders but they were unbreakable.  Defeated I relit all the burnt out candles in the hallway and kept walking.  I didn't have a guard, I don't know how long it took.  I stopped to look into classrooms and no one noticed.  As I walked by windows I saw an image of a woman dressed like me but it was not my reflection.  As I entered the window, the imaged appeared at the opposite end, we closed paths at the middle where we again exited at opposite ends. I never did see the other woman's face.  At the exit to the building I began to head down some steps when I saw a pile of discarded clothing, maybe lost and found for the students.  I thought about using a candle to set it on fire.  I visualized many scenarios but chose none of them.  As I got to the door two things happened.  The my executioner appeared and I found a family festival outside in a common area.  Despite is uniform and strange weapon meant to kill me, no one reacted to either of us being in the crowd.  As we walked the man showed me his weapon.  It was not a gun and meant for defense.  It was supposed to kill me by decapitation or by slitting my throat. He had half of the weapon with him and half was in the building we were headed too.  Once inside the building he offered me a piece of cinnamon pastry he has made.  The man talked a bit about how the layers were uneven and what he would differently next time.  As we talked I heard noise from outside.  I knew my friends were being executed as part of the family celebration.  I begged him to stopped it.  He went to the window and I grabbed ahold of his jacket which oddly enough felt like satin.  When it got quiet the man turned around and I knew it was my turn. 

On Fire

February 6, 2018

I dreampt I was part of an enslaved people who was skilled with horses.  We used our skills to help our masters raise amazing animals.  In my dream the horses were huge, like draft horses but exceedingly graceful.  The large white barn that I worked in kept catching fire.  We would run in to save the horses and while no horses died many of my people did.  In the dream I could see from above the chaos of the fire, the horses tearing around like the running of the bulls, biting at each other and the people. Sometimes the horses would attack each other with such ferocity that they were nearly impossible to separate. We finally decided one night to burn the barn down ourselves and steal all the horses.  We ran through the fields planning to ride the horses far away.   As we got the complex of barns I went to a smaller building on the left.  I don't recall if music was playing the whole time but my dream had a soundtrack at this point. I peaked into a room filled with Japanese ornaments and probably art from a mix of other Asian cultures.  I saw a welcome cat. What impressed me the most was my first look at a tiny tv sitting on a chair. No one was around so I got closer.  I saw a commercial for the movie Thor. The tv was so luminous and beautiful, so captivating that I don't recall how the dream ends. Oddly I remember someone saying that our masters were Turks but since I never saw them I don't know how I know that this is wrong.  I know that despite the Western style barn, my people and the land seemed Asian, as if we were from Mongolia or Tibet.  Again these are just impressions from within the dream.  My clothes were long, long pants with a long shirt with long sleeves which seems highly impractical. Every hem had a thick embroidered detail. 

All Together Strange

May 5, 2017

I had a very strange overlapping sort of dream that kept coming back to the same house.  In part of the dream I had to change clothes but one of the bathrooms was in use and one of the bedrooms had a big puddle on the floor.  I found a bathroom to use in the house where there was a bridal salon attached but then the toilet broke and they blamed me when I all I did was put on a new outfit.  Then I went to work and we were hosting a viewing for someone who had died. We were running it like a party and I had a guest list.  The urn was on the front desk and it was huge, nearly two feet tall.  People came to the funeral with their dogs but then the dogs all got away so we had to find them. While chasing dogs I ran by the house from before and also out on the bike path.  I saw people trying to catch an injured cat and it turned out one of the dogs I had caught was really friendly.  Since the cat was badly hurt we imagined the cat would come out and lay down with the sweet dog just to get some rest. After all this I dreampt I took a nap but people kept coming upstairs to ask me things. Sometimes when I woke up I was in the dream house and others I was in my own house.  I didn't really wake up though I dreampt waking up too.  Later watched Big Bang Theory but the girl characters revealed that they had spies all over town who they could call to check in on the boys and they used them to get the boys to do the what they wanted like come home in time for dinner. Somewhere in the middle I dreampt I was a student at a Japanese high school and we had to go upstairs but each grade was on one floor.  This was labeled but not in a way that made sense to me.  After the meeting which was more like a business meeting we got to go home early but I couldn't figure out where the ground floor was.

Found and Lost

October 14, 2016

I dreampt I went for a run with my dog on the bike path and we ended up in the next town but somehow we also got lost.  I saw people working outside and they said I could come in and use the phone. In their office I found a car like my dad's only it was a convertible and they said they were fixing it up for me.  One of the mechanics was a girl I knew in high school.

I dreampt I was watching and also in the show Stranger Things.  My little brother went missing when he went outside and I was too scared to watch the show but I also I knew I had to find my brother.  We went to the police station for help and the office was full of horses and a tiny donkey.  Everything took place at night.  I remember my brother had blonde curly hair but I never saw his face. In my dream we had a land line phone too. 

Dream casserole

September 16, 2016

Things I dreamed about last night - teen programs at the library, the television show Star Gate SG1, having house work done but the contractors were my library coworkers, changing my nose ring but using earrings so it always looked wrong.

reruns

September 4, 2016

I dreamt I was watching a tv show that was a mix of Supernatural and Stranger Things.  They dressed Sam up like a scarecrow decoration and left him in a wagon and there was the scene with Barbara in the pool from Stranger Things. Only it was a girl with long hair and she was already dead because she was jumped by mean girls in the bathroom and they gave her an IV bag of something thick like pudding but somehow it dehydrated her until she died.  After that they threw her in the pool. It was hard to tell if it was still a show or if I was there too but I wasn't scared so I am guessing it was still tv.  

Then I dreamt I was designing a Harry Potter Teen program for the library and I invited a teacher called Professor Lambic, ironically my favorite Belgian beer.  We were going to make edibles wants and I was told that someone had been to a program where thats the only part the teens would do and nothing else.

Also mom had this giant contraption in the garage that used those ramp you drive a car up on so can work in it. The whole maze was made of metal from swing set slides and other random things. I don't recall what the device did.
