I dreampt that me & Mia were laying around in a dark room away from the other people who were there, desperately trying to figure something out... and I'm quite certain we were talking about men.

Barry White

Last nite I had a dream that I found Jamin (as in Jamin of Jamin & Leah) on MySpace and was suprised to see that he had the *exact* same music that I'd recently added...Barry White's "Can't get enough of your love, baby"...then I realized his entire profile was like mine, and it felt very weird.

i was at some random girl's pool party. i brought a can of baked beans and after joking about dropping them into the pool with megan, i actually did (by mistake). the rest of the dream consisted of us draining and cleaning the pool.

More "movie" dreams...

Ok, so last nite I had a dream that we were all filming our movie, except that it wasn't our movie, but rather, some dumb teen horror flick. (I keep having horror film nitemares! I guess given what I was thinking about last nite before bed, that's not *so* suprising though...)

Anyways, so we were all on location at some swamp, and we each had our own rowboats. The water was crystal clear and me, Kim & Emily were debating on whether the animal we kept seeing swimming under our boat was more like a large squirrel or more like a small fox. (I voted for squirrel.) There were also very large, furry, black spiders and they could swim too! All these creatures were swimming underneath and all around us. I don't think these things had anything to do with the horror film...we were all more fascinated by them than we were afraid of them. They did however cause filming to have to be postponed, so we all went to a thrift store. Me, Beth, Jason, Joel & Dan C. found really super soft worn-out long-sleeved T-shirts for everyone in our movie to wear, then me, Beth, Em and Mike Nine all fell asleep on a pull-out couch...and that's all I can recall...

i'm sad that waking up early equals not remembering my dreams.

Dreams they Dream-

eastto31: beth, in my dreams you live in a tool shed behind a mansion and collect things you find in the bottom of the swimming pool. you also are in a band called corduroy facelift.

Shula: I had a dream that the sunglasses guy from jurrasic park was gonna rape me if I didn't quit swearing.

i wouldn't be a part of 'the team' until i sent a pointless 'page' across the store... that's all i remember.

Last nite all of my hair cut dreams were comin' true!! I had not only darkened my hair and seen what it would look like with longer, slightly straighter hair and ideal layers, I then had it lighter and shorter, and both worked... I wish that dream were reeeaaaaaal!!!! ("Why am I so *bored* with my husband? [remove: husband, insert: hair] It's all so complicated...")

i was in new york city with everyone who is americorps with me. there was a terrorist attack planned and somehow, it was going to help for all of us to go to the top of one of the skyscrapers. it was late at night and we all got into a room that was also an elevator and began the long trip to the top of the building. there were refrigerators everywhere in the room/elevator and i suggested that we turn them onto their sides so they wouldn't topple over on us. no one would listen to me and the building started to sway and lean. i have no idea how we were helping in any way. i wished i was far away from the city in the country, but i knew that the attack would hurt everyone everywhere.

then my dream cut to a huge house in the country where a king and his family lived. it was christmas eve and they were having dinner on the lawn. the king was announcing that all of his children were engaged and was introducing their fiancees and fiances. one of his children was lloyd from undeclared. the king didn't realize there was going to be an attack, but his children did. suddenly, i realized that this was an x-men movie and that the "terrorists" were actually the u.s. military planning an attack to rid the world mutants. and all of the people in americorps were actually mutants. some of the kings children were mutants but he didn't realize it. it turns out that he wasn't their original father, that the real king had been killed by giant magical swans that lived in the forrest. the real king had gone into the pond they lived in, which was surrounded by a ring of huge beautiful fir trees, and tried to kill them. in self-defense, the swans who were good, had killed the king, who was actually a little evil, and the queen had them killed. the current king was just a stock king brought in to keep the appearance of normality in the kingdom (which was somewhere in the u.s.) . the youngest son started to argue that this wasn't the plot of an x-men movie, that it was stolen from the last harry potter movie. i couldn't remember anything about the x-men or harry potter movies so i decided when i woke up i was going to have to watch them both to figure out which one was happening.

also, at some point, i had been taken photographs of the tentacles of a giant squid and a few octopi.

I was at Michaels with my extended family sitting on the floor by the extrance (could have been either). There was a lot of people there, I think waiting for the Governor to speak or something. My Aunt Megan worked there. She was doing a planogram with a red apron on. All the sudden Christy Brinkley showed up with a plate of food and put it on the table. She yelled for David Spade, her husband, to come and eat it. He turned the corner of the aisle and came toward us, he had a young kid holding his hand walking next to him. I guess his kid. He went to eat it but it was so hot that the plate was sinking in to the table, denting it and cracking it. My Aunt Suzie made some wise ass remark.

I also remember putting up all these cosmetics, making the cosmetic section look nice. Then there was this video they showed about cosmetics and some people came to watch it. Jeremy, Keith's brother, was there watching it with his girlfriend. They sat on a cosmetic display, which wouldn't really be big enough for anyone. For some reason when they sat on it, it turned into theatre type seating.

last night i had a dream that one of my greatest dreams came true. i'll leave you to think about that one.

American Psycho Pt. II

This is what happens when you drink too much rum before bed...Ok, so this morning I woke up in Alicia's bed to the *most disturbing noise* **EVER**! And I was quite certain that it was the credits to my dream...which was the movie American Psycho, except it was an extended version and Alicia and I had been starring in it/living it! Yeah. So if you're still following, it (the "plot" to my movie/dream) went like this...

Alicia, Leroy, Marc Stasiowski and myself were on a camping excursion...Patrick Bateman was there...with snakes. The snakes were hidden under things and released into places to scare us. There were mountains and caves. Alicia took each of us up to the top of a mountain to show us something she found. She was ornery and mischievous, we could tell...but it didn't mean she was on Bateman's "side" or anything. When we got to the top of the mountain, she told us to get on our hands and knees and crawl back into this rock cave and "take a look". There were 3 severed fingers on the floor of this cave--my hand grazed them and I could feel they were still warm!!! It was disgusting!! But Alicia seemed only slightly bugged by this...she then told us to peek over the edge of the cliff and look down at our campsite. It was then that we started to think she might be in cohorts with Bateman. Bateman saw us peeking and started to climb up the mountain towards us...we stole Alicia's car and got out of there! But not without another encounter with a long, skinny, gray snake!

Alicia told us the way to escape was by water. I trusted her. She & I left Leroy & Marc and got into these large yellow innertubes and started down river. At some point, there was a fork in the river and to the left was a cement-lined, man-made "lazy river" like at a water park, but to the right the real river continued. Alicia and I decided to ride the lazy river into the water park...only it was really Cedar Point all the way in Ohio. We'd snuck in and decided to ride all the rides--only we didn't have yellow wrist bands, so we were afraid we'd get caught & thrown out of the park, and this meant we'd be back in Bateman's clutches!! So, we got back in the car and went to look for Marc & Leroy...while on the road, Bateman jumped out from the woods and blocked our car. We screamed, but then realized that he was dying. His head was smashed in and half of his face was eaten. And exactly as this was playing out in my dream...Bateman writhing on the road all bloody and half-eaten...I started to hear a weird beat and a word or phrase being repeated over & over in a robotic voice!!!! It was so horrifying!!! Half-asleep and annoyed, I thought "Oh, I guess I fell asleep and now it's the end of the movie...I need to get up, find the remote, and shut off Alicia's DVD player", but when I woke up, the tv wasn't on (and anyways, we'd been watching Sex & The City last nite, not American Psycho), and I was no longer dreaming....but the noise kept coming!!!

(the next part of this all happened this morning and is NOT part of my dream so I felt it fit better here, and not on DreamsWeDream):

i had another nightmare last night. and unlike most of my dreams, it felt very real and i wasn't aware of it being a dream. here it is: i was woken up by jason and teresa and they told me i had to drive somewhere. i told them i was sick and i was already asleep. when i woke up again, i was in the backseat of a car and it was driving itself. it was about to hit a cow that had wandered into the road so i jumped up front and steered out of the way. the passenger's side door opened a little and i tried to pull it shut, but something or someone was pulling it. the feel of the pull on the other side of the door was terrifying. i woke up and tried to tell jason about my dream but i felt like there was a hand covering my mouth. i heard someone rustling papers on our nightstand and walking around our room. then i actually woke up.

i was at like 3 sleep-overs. at one chris miskis gave me a stuffed cat to use as a pillow.
i was an incredibly powerful superhero. it was assumed that matt fuller was juggernaut and we had a foot war in my hallway.
all the boys who skate in the streets of oakland were in line at the bank. hat and sideburns dude kept telling me 'hello' in a very formal tone.
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

I was on a trip with BRad. We went to Antarctica. I was going to take a bath, but it was in a hot tub at the bottom of a stairwell inside a college dormitory. Brad had a desk job on the bottom floor of the dorm. His desk was in the hallway and while I was taking my bath I saw him working. I was excited when I saw him there cause I thought maybe he'd come join me in the hot tub. But instead he brought 15 other people in and this made me really mad and uncomfortable: they all had jeans on and wanted to splash around like it was a pool, which somehow made the water cold like pool water! Plus, I was naked and trying to take a bath! At first BRad didn't understand what was wrong, but then he felt bad when he realized I was upset. We left to go driving. It was me, Beth, Jason and BRad. Our car was a huge steel block that was sometimes an elephant. We all sat a-top it. We weren't really driving anywhere as much as we were entering & exiting parking spaces. I shifted gears and tried to park between two small white cars. There were only about 2 feet between the cars, but shifting these levers caused our car to narrow and we fit. There was the sound of scraping metal, but no marks were left on any of the cars and we were all relieved. We realized we were being chased, but because our car had narrowed, we were able to get away.

another school dream. in this one i had to read the great gatsby but forgot. i also took until 3 pm getting ready for school and almost missed the bus. i think i'm going to go back to bed.

I was at this dance party. We were sliding on these tables like slip and slides. All these foreign kids were there and I think Andy (sans broken foot) and a handful of people I knew. I really didn’t dance. Instead, I explored these rooms where people stored their rummage sales. Aaron was looking with me. I went back to the party where this girl I knew from high school came up to me. “ I always hated you in high school”, she said.

I had an amazing outfit on and was very pleased with it. I was going some place where this outfit would actually be considered "cool" and I was super excited about this. I could never describe it in a way that conveys how cool it was in my dream...but here is a sad attempt: I had a fitted white shirt on with a simple skirt...I was wearing a short necklace that had large, interchanging black & white beads (beads that were the size of golfballs mind you) and on my head was a cross between a top hat and a cowboy hat...it was my mom's from the 70's, but had been updated for "today". It also had interchanging colors, only the hat was brown & white (instead of black & white). Somehow, this worked. My shoes were also great. I awoke very excited...(about this dream AND about the fact that Brad had returned from having his cast removed and had brought me breakfast in bed! Gooey filled doughnuts with chocolate icing...mmm! ;)

i was outside on an unfamiliar street. jason and some other people were working in the basement of a building and i was about to join them when i noticed a huge terrifying white man starring at me from across the street. i jumped into the backseat of my car as he started walking towards me. i tried to get all the doors locked before he came over, but i had a hard time locking the front passenger side door. when i looked up from doing that he was sitting in the drivers seat. somehow he had keys and started driving. i had no way of getting any help. i knew he was going to kill me.

happy 100th post dream blog.

Something happened. I'm sure of it.

Debbie Wood bought me tattoos for my birthday. Only I did not pick them out. I ended up with cherries on my wrist and two small Disney characters on my forearm. I forgot to take care of them and the ink all washed out.
My whole family was going to church together but rather than go with them I hung out in my bathtub with my cats. Henri and Little liked to swim underwater.

jay and i lived in a wreck of a place behind a gas station. a little asian boy lived with us. he was sick and the only way he could get better was for him to be reborn. we drew a chalk outline of a woman on the ground and after he laid in it for a few minutes he was better.

we went to visit sharron and her girlfriend. sharron was about to have a book published at 3pm on tuesday. she had already recorded a album of instrumental music. she was very proud of her acheivements.
