circular floorplan

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.

Last night I dreamt my hands were covered in bees

I dreamt I was in prison with the students from my school and my job inside was working at a pharmacy or hospital, we spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to steal the drugs

I dreamt it was raining inside my office job and I had to sit at my desk under a golf umbrella

I dreamt I was in a game that was a mix of Farmville and World of Warcraft and you could kill people to steal their farms. I made a tree fall on a man while he was driving his tractor. also in the dream, I looked like Tom Cruise from the movie Far and Away.

I dreamt a drunk Superman was crawling down the sidewalk to the restaurant he owned now that he was retired. Inside there was a man who wanted to kill him but of course, Superman didn't care and insisted on eating a snack while the man threatened him. Superman dug around in the cooler eating pepperoni and other things until he fell asleep. He wasn't worried bout the mad man since no one could hurt him more than he'd already hurt himself.

I had to write a fashion blog.

I dreamt I left homemade cupcakes at the supermarket in some Tupperware and when I came back no one had eaten any so I just took them home again

I dreamt I was driving with my seat fully reclined and I navigated based on what I could see from the sunroof

I dreamt I was trying to make falafel and the kitchen was full of dogs I had never met before, also I couldn't find the feta cheese. And I couldn't find a place to lock up my bike and two men were barbecuing on my lawn.

Last night I dreamt about great horn owls, taking my dog to the vet, and a house with many garages that were hidden by transforming doors.

I also dropped the knob came off my windshield wipers and they ran perpetually

My dreams last night involved a lot of running, stairs, lockers, lock and clocks.

I dreamt I visited a high school and for some reason, I lied to them and told them that my high school was older than I wanted to tour of their high school. They were big holes in the walls but instead of going into the classrooms they were just big open spaces like black holes.

I know you aren’t supposed to interrupt a funeral procession that’s on the road but last night I dreamt I interrupted graduation. Fortunately, no one was hurt and it turns out I know how to drive my car up steps

no options

December 27th, 2013

I dreampt I saw two girls that are eating ice cream for dessert with peanut butter when they hear yelling they say it’s in Bulgarian. They look to a window where a truck is parked among farm fields and a line of men is being unloaded. The men have green drab uniforms and backpacks with bedrolls on top. And they are here to be killed maybe shot. One man in line begins to cry he looks back at the leader who I know is the cruelest. The leader says if the man can reach the next field they will let him live the man says thank you. The man thinks all he has to do is run fast and he will reach the other side. He reaches for the fence to climb over he feels the sting of the electricity and knows then that he will die anyway. He knows he will stay trapped on that fence until the electricity kills him or that the leader will shoot him if he is able to get free. Then I just sort of snap awake. 

Star Wars Librarian

*I had this dream in two parts, separated by several days. 

I dreampt that Luke Skywalker was on a ravaged planet and that everyone had to leave due to constant attack.  Luke met a librarian (who was dressed like the Priors from Star Gate SG1) on the planet who kept all of that world's knowledge in himself. He was not able to escape.  He insisted on making sure everyone else got away.  He gave Luke the knowledge of the library.  He was supposed to put the knowledge in Luke's mind but somehow he didn't upload it properly.  Luke flew away with the last of the refugees and was fine for a while.  About a week later he began to get sick.  He seemed distracted and forgetful.  It was revealed that the information should have been safely stored in areas of the brain that humans do not usually access so it wouldn't have made a difference to his other functions.  Instead, the information was roaming his entire body, overwriting systems and taking over both his body and mind like new programming. Eventually, the library would take over his either gaining full control as a new sentient life form or putting Luke in a coma. They had to contact another librarian but they really need just one librarian.  They needed a man called Lantern.  He came to the ship through space and entered the airlock with no suit.  He was an Asian man of age indeterminate who seemed both older than he appeared but also very strong and in no way tired from his trip. There was a sense his appearance had changed over the years as if shadows of his other looks were lightly overlayed on his most current appearance.  It was clear he had once had very long hair. He also had a shadow of facial hair mostly about his jawline.  The man was named Lantern. (yes I realized that its racist to use a word associated with many Asian festivals and traditions, in my dreaming mind Lantern was used to represent how he was able to guide people with knowledge and also this was a dream not an intentional slight).  Lantern was able to use the force to help the knowledge in Luke coalesce in his abdomen. As the information was gathered it was visible running along his limbs and as more information was collected the light seemed to rise from deeper inside his body like seeing a submarine surface at night. Lantern was able to retrieve all the knowledge simply absorbing it through his hands.   After he left with the library, Luke returned to normal.   

Probably Just Stress

I dreampt I was driving on the freeway and in a city and water was flooding across the road in front of me and behind me.

I dreamt my car died and the bank gave me a busted up station wagon.

I dreamt I woke up and I went into the bathroom and I had a tank top on and on my shoulder there was this large brown crusty almost like a giant wart. I could tell that the mass was moving and I stuck my hand or fingers into the wart and I pulled out what was either a very large mouse or a very small rat.

Mad Cow

I dreampt I was attacked by at cow.  I was walking on a trail in a grassy field.  There were a lot of rolling hills so the view was obscured in places.  As I came around a curve I saw a calf in the road that maybe had been hit by a car.  I approached the calf when I heard another cow, I assume it was the mother.  She charged me, knocked me to the ground and began to trample me.  I felt I could not get up , if I tried the cow would just keep pummeling me.  I heard someone yell and try to stop the cow.  What I remember next is seeing a young man on a stretcher because an ambulance had arrived.  I heard someone talking about "going into shock."  I could feel my body shaking with fear and pain.  

Balance

I dreampt I was blowing my nose because I felt congested but with each blow another nose piercing would come out of my nostril. 

I dreampt I had to go to a funeral that was also at my job and I had to work at my job right up until the time of the funeral.  All the other staff had to set up the services so I was alone on a very busy desk and miserable because I was so busy and miserable because I had just lost someone. 

I was taking a shower in the closet in the guest room, all the contents had been removed so they wouldnt get wet but nothing was protecting the walls or wood floor.

I dreampt I was riding on the back of my father's motorcycle that was also amphibious and when we rode into a marsh I saw that the bike was being pulled but a very large rabbit.  We had to stop at a station at one point and get a new swimming rabbit.  As we biked we debated the height of some local hills.

I dreampt a tornado came straight down out of the sky and it hit the ground and the ground exploded and it was super fast but the explosion was in slow motion so you could see the concussion wave obliterate everything.

I dreampt I was driving on a narrow dirt road that was along a river and the road became even more narrow but I just kept driving.  The road was washed away and my car fell in the river.  Some water got in my car but the engine didn't die.  I was able to bob along until I found a low bank and I drove my car back up on the road like nothing had happened. 

No idea

I dreampt I had a body suit that made me look like a strip of cooked bacon.  I just sort of wriggled around in the dream it didn't really have a point beyond bacon.

I dreampt I worked at combination post office and dryer cleaner.

I had a really dark dream about a woman looking for her husband. Everyone in the dream had older clothes from a sort of indeterminate period in the past, I think she had a small bonnet on. I feel like her husband was dead and she was using a spell to find out if he was ok and when he contacted her she was so happy because she thought maybe he was still a alive.  She opened a portal or maybe he did that part and he called to her and she cried and reached for him and only when when her arm was through did she realize it was a trick.  Whatever grabbed her arm was not only not her husband but also not even human.  She had been tricked by a devil or demon and then her whole body was pulled into hell.  A young man witnessed this whole ordeal but could not stop it and was terrified that the demon knew he was there.  The man and a friend went to a gathering but an interrogator who looked for sin was there and the young man fainted.  I remember he was quite beautiful and how fair his hair was and how dark his coat was, not black but an impossibly deep blue with details at the cuffs like a stripe and some buttons. The interrogator was not there for the young man but his terror of both the demon and possibly being tortured to reveal he was witch was too much.  I got a vibe from the dream like it was related to the movie The Scarlet Letter with Demi Moore but I haven't seen that in a long time.  It was sad how many people in the dream were miserable.

I dream a lot about buildings and especially places where I lived previous or in the dream I currently live.  I dreampt I was in a dorm or apartment building and they were adding rooms in odd places so that everyone would fit.  At woman at the end of the hall had only two walls but they were outside walls and the other walls of her dorm were made of chicken wire.  I don't know how she slept because there was a road right outside and the rights cut through the walls and of course you could hear the road noise all the time.  She had a very nice desktop computer that surely would have gotten wet whenever it rained.  She seemed very proud of these corner shelves that attached to the wall and gave her extra storage.  I liked how she had lofted her bed a bit to make more room.  Even the ceiling of her room was chicken wire and if you looked up through the mesh you could see a nest of skunks so on top of everything the room didn't smell great.  

Beach Front Property

I dreampt I was at the beach.  I was sitting in the ocean about waist deep.  I had my back to the surf and I was facing the shore.  From time to time I would look over my shoulder to see the waves.  I would listen to the people at the beach and hear them yell about a big wave coming.  I would peak again to see the wave but I always turned my back to the ocean.  I would close my eyes as the wave came.  I guess I knew enough not to breath.  I would let the wave crash over me and the water would come up and over my head.  I didn't float from my spot though I felt my move with the tide.  Once I was submerged I would open my eyes.  The salt should have stung but it did not.  I could only see the blue/grey/green of the ocean with the light filtering through from above. Nothing passed in front of me just water. Eventually the water receded and I could see the shore.  I did this over and over.  I never got water in my nose or saw any jellyfish.  I can't recall any sounds of either gulls or the surf.  It was very pleasant. 

Squirrel!

I dreampt I was at a Journey concert but they put on a movie so I went home and did laundry.

I dreampt a friend from school was at my apartment in franklin and we were making Thanksgiving dinner but we couldn't get the turkey in the frying pan.

I dreampt the police were closing the road and they interrupted my street luge so I had to walk all the way back up this huge hill. 

I was in a gymnastics competition with uneven bars but instead of being parallel they were connected end to end in a large oval.  Some of the bars were near curtains and I would do these tumbling routines where I would end up end the curtain.  There were multiple competitors in the ring so we had to be careful not to run into each other. 

A woman gave birth at an outdoor revival but her baby died and she still had to take it home with her. 

I dreampt I was talking to a friend while doing laundry and my dad kept turning up the volume on the radio so that we couldn't hear each other. 

I dreampt we were camping but I had to go back to the house for something.  I couldn't get the door to the garage locked and when I went in the garage I found the entire backstage to a theater. They were getting ready for a hurricane. We had to lock all the doors on set with these giant mechanisms that ran a post through the ceiling and the floor. Then we had to use big straps to tie all the other equipment together. 

I was supposed to be using oranges to make tea but I made soup instead.

Evil Elves

I was watching a couple stand on the beach and kiss.  In the distance I saw a tidal wave forming. I tried to warn them.  I couldn't get there fast enough or yell loud enough.  I turned to run back up the jetty as they were swept away.  I realized that I was very short, like a hobbit.  At the top of the jetty it connected to a boardwalk and a house I had not seen before.  Trying to escape the water I met a man and woman who I had met at a trade fair before and who I did not like or trust.  I climbed up to the house and met a dark elf who was also the father of the man I had just met while escaping the tidal wave. Although the house was modern, I was wearing more period clothing and the dark elves all had complex costumes.  I already knew something was very wrong but i fainted and woke up later.  I realized that the dark elves were using medical technology to make beautiful slaves. Strange modifications were made to the people to make them slimmer and also not able to eat.  One lady had a modification in her mouth that made foods taste bad. Some of the humans were airline attendants. Which I knew because sometimes the humans would be sent back for upgrades and I could see their uniforms.  It was disgusting and horrifying and I spent a lot of the dream trying not to look at things or here what was going on. The man I met earlier was actually made of some of the dna of the first dark elf I met.  The elves had to keep kidnapping people to get more genes to work with. From the porch I could see them fixing the scene on the beach which was really a trap they created to flood on cue to kidnap more humans. A lot of the experiments they did on people didn't work and they caused a lot of pain or made monsters.  One man was able to change his skin and hair color to make himself camouflage and the elves tormented him by throwing him around so that he had to change over and over. At one point they threw him outside and he looked so much like a dark elf with strange magic that as he changed to suit the grass and trees a light elf spotted him and shot him thinking he was a dark elf or just to put the man out of his misery. 

Inside Out

I dreampt someone told me the door to the storytime room was jammed or stuck so i went to see what was going on. It was an accordion door and it looked like it had been smashed so that it stuck outward into the dept. When I got out it open I found all these thick black theater curtains that went up much higher than a library ceiling. As I pulled them all back I realized I could see the sky and that the track for the curtains was also for a roller coaster. The track was badly bent and warped. I could hear many coasters all on different tracks. When I turned back to the library all i could see was a field that had once been a paved lot so that patches of concrete were interrupted with grass. I called my coworkers into the room that should have bene set up for a big program and we watched the roller coasters crash into the ground one at a time. Later in my dream or maybe before I was at a garage sale and then the garage sale was in my program room so we moved the furniture all around and had this weird craft program and talent show thing.  It was very chaotic.  The garage sale from earlier had been happening in a house down the street but once inside it looked like the store Ollies and there was stuff just stacked everywhere.  i really wanted a specific chair and to look at rugs but no one would help me. I don't know how the sale got into the library.

Someone was trying to break into the house. I kept telling people but one person went back to sleep and one person never came and one just walked away. First I saw him at the back room and as i ran to check all the windows he appeared at each one as if he could get in at any time he was screwing with me. I called 911 but the voice of the dispatcher just got softer and softer. I remember yelling for help over and over but then I just woke up.

Last night I dreampt Sir Ian McKellen was in my basement doing laundry. I offered him a beer in a Harry Potter glass and he said oh well at least the beer is from Michigan.

Luke Skywalker and young Obi Wan Kenobi had a light saber battle in space while free falling from a ship to a hovering city.

Thirsty

I dreampt my family was from India and my mother was pressuring me to take music lessons.

I climbed up from the catacombs under a church and when I went outside people were lining up for a wedding.  I thought I recognized the church so I thought I would walk home but I ended up at the air port. I was going to bike home from there but I couldn't get my helmet to attach to my bike. Even though I knew this was wrong I kept insisting that the hardware was faulty.

I dreampt I was going to go swimming in a lagoon but I was afraid there might be alligators.  I went up a trail to a hill that was made of sand.  I climbed the hill to top so I could look down into the water.  Of course I could see the alligators in the water below me.  As I sat on the hill I knew one of them had come out of the water and followed me up the trail.

I dreampt the bathtub would not stop overflowing and I ran out of towels to sop up the water. When I left the bathroom I saw a smaller shower on the landing of the second floor.  It was old and rusty and the curtains were very dirty.  There was a curtain across the top so you couldn't splays the ceiling. You could see where the water was getting the carpet wet but I didn't turn the water off.

Things I Saw In the Dark

Scattered dreams from last night included sunglasses, scaffolding, driving around car accidents and in parking garages. 

I dreampt about my family and we were all in our pjs and eating fruit late at night as if we had all just come home from work. 

I had a nightmare about a woman in a harness and she was over a bed of nails or knives and the man was raising her up and letting her fall toward the spikes over and over.  She was screaming and crying and he just kept tormenting her over and I over.  I don't know how it ended.  I saw her in an earlier dream where she seemed to be hiding but i think that was from before she was captured.  I saw her laying on her side in the fetal position amongst some wooden shelves. 

I was exploring a basement, it had two or three levels.  I started at the bottom but when I got to the top i found a topiary garden and i walked those paths for awhile.  in a corner i thought there was a pond but it was a leak and i got two people to tell them about the leak and the water seemed to come from a spigot but also the ceiling and a clock.  i was going to get a hose to siphon the water the man began to collect the buckets and take them outside through the glass door.  he and the woman talked about using this gutter grates from the basement to help channel the water and as they talked they forgot i was there event though i was the one who found the leak. 

I was jogging in the neighborhood but I got on a city bus.  I thought it would go up one stop and let me off but we drive for ages.  As I got off the bus I saw a library and remembered I was supposed to be at work at 4pm.  I didn't have my phone so I couldn't call in.  I went to a tourist information booth and used their courtesy phone.  The first time i called i saw all these names on the voicemail that were for people I didn't know.  I let the other staff member dial for me and when I got through they said I was already at work.  When I protested that I really was going ot be late they said well just don't come in then. 

I dreampt we were at a store like IKEA that also had Christmas trees.  We got a bunch of food at the buffet and we had a picnic in the dairy aisle.  We went to get a tree but when we came back someone had taken all of our food and somehow we didn't end up getting a tree.

Accumulated Nonsense

May 16, 2018

I dreampt I lived in an apartment building without an elevator and someone on the top floor had planted trees on every landing of the stairwell.

I got my hair cut and they shaved one side but not the other and then wouldn't come back with my credit card when I paid. I broke into their apartment to get my card and I found all this felt board sets that they had never put away. 

My dad was carrying me on his back and we were on a metal corrugated gangway over dark, brackish water.  As we walked the water got closer and closer to the gangway. Soon the water was flush with the metal.  Quickly the path was hidden by the moving water and it looked like we were walking on the water.  Either the path disappeared or just a section was washed away.  We fell into the water. I drank in a lot of the water.  Eventually someone pulled me out but they did not save my dad.

I was at the gym and I was having a conversation with lady about religion and i thought she said she was a Nun but she said she was a Hun, which I think is an ethnic group and not a religion.  Then we had to move because the gym was having a church service.
