FRUSTRATING!

I had an AWESOME dream today, I remember it being extremely epic. I want to say it had something to do about fighting a giant skeletal dragon, but I only get bits and pieces when I try to remember it...

Dream on 12/13/10

I had been playing soccer for Mr. Castle. Kip and I went were dropped off after the game at the guard house at EHS, and I still had the key to the gator from my summer job in grounds crew. We took the gator home and then drove it up the next day. We wanted to be careful because we weren't supposed to have it. After we parked it (right behind Mr. Rice), Mr. Castle ran up and kicked a soccer ball to me. The pass was a little off, so I would have had to stretch to get it. I tried and then felt the pain in my leg. All of my muscles were so strained, like I had pulled everything in my body working out (this is probably due to how out of shape I feel right now). I jogged painfully over to the ball and kicked it back to him. We began to pass and speak in French to one another and then he told me he was going to a conference with my teacher Mr. Benitez.

Dream on 11/26/10

I was fighting in Stormwind. I had a round gray foam shield and a long pole with a foam blade at the end. I was in a courtyard of some sort that looked like St. Peter's Square from the Vatican City. There was this huge red ball in the middle of the square and smaller red bubbles were coming out and floating towards myself and someone else who was with me. I would bat the bubbles with my foam spear to destroy them.

DREAM 2
(I had a nap)

There was an RA community devo. Our residence hall was apparently Santa's workshop or something because it was very gingerbread house looking and was located at the north pole. Myself and another RA were in red shirts, and everyone else was in green shirts. We were going to play out some espionage scenario. I was playing the role of Santa, and everyone else was supposed to infiltrate my "north pole" place and seduce me so they could get this little snow globe egg from me and smash it. The snow globe thing had a model of our residence hall in it and fake snow stuff. It was sort of shaped like a cylinder with rounded edges.

Dream on 11/20/10

I only remember bits and pieces of this one. It all took place in the WoW universe, and I remember being in a party with an Undead rogue, and a Draeni magic user of some sort. I just remember going in and out of this portal for something, and when I tried to go back through the last time, the Draeni grabbed my ankle so that I couldn't go all the way through the portal and he told me I had to wait for the paladin and that I wasn't allowed to go through yet.

Dream on 11/16/10

This dream was really cool! There were multiple parts, but I only really remember one vividly. It was just like the movie Treasure Planet. I was in this huge room full of loot, and these two pirate captains were in their hover boats, duking it out over this treasure! I was there with an ambiguous teammate who I believe was a robot of some kind, and we were rigging up this little skiff to race the two big pirate ships to this one boat floating in the middle of the room. Our skiff was behind a crumbled wall, so the pirates couldn't see us preparing, but we could watch them. We got in the boat and were just starting to cast off. I said something like, "I'll show them just what I'm capable of!" or something corny like that. One of the big pirate ships reached the ship in the middle at that point though, and the dream ended there. It wasn't the end of the story though, I could feel that "Dream Eric" was about to do something dashing and insane!

Dream on 11/13/10

In the dream, I was walking to class with Johnston, and I had forgotten to work on the project for his class. I was wishing I had my jigsaw in my backpack too for some reason. Johnston was talking about a piece he was working on too, something he thought I would really like. He eventually decided that he would show it to me now, so we went down an alley so he could show it to me, and it was a room full of boxes of magic cards and Warhammer stuff. There were some models painted by Elizabeth Person (who went by a different name), and Johnston mentioned he would spend around 2000 dollars on M11 drafts, then give the cards to me. The models weren't painted very well, but there was something awesome about them at the same time. They had an extreme vintage look and atmosphere about them, and I just knew that they were valuable.

Dream on 11/6/2010

This all took place on a little hill with a ramshackle old house on top. There was a barn farther down the hill with a window facing the house. Looking out from the window was the point of view for most of the dream. I was werewolf, and I killed the people hunting me. There were these mice men came that then to cook the remains. From here on out the "camera" angle was very low, and looking up at the mice men. The head chef cooked something awesome, and said whoever ate it and was taller than him he would teach the recipe to. A mouse man behind him ate it as he was saying this, and this swirl of brown, stuff came out from under him and made a huge, solid tornado tower with him on top and the crowd just looked up in amazement. The tower wasn't poop, but I don't really know what it was either...

Dream on 11/2/10

Knees! I was just drawing knees the whole time in my head! All this figure drawing is kind of making me crazy! It all took place on Adobe Illustrator, and I just couldn't get it right! The auto-correct thing was really bugging me too!

Dream on 10/30/10

I was in a futuristic city that reminded me of the main city fro Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers. I remember running around hiding from the nobles, going up and down huge elaborate elevators, and eventually escaping to the train, which was a place I had been before. The conductor recognized me and I recognized the place.
The Dream then switched to this post-apocalyptic future zone. There was a shelled out building and the remaining people had formed small groups to fend off the zombie hordes. I was freaking out in a very realistic manner (I thought). I explored the building that everyone was holed up in. The barricades were good, but most people were going to die. There was very little chance we would survive. For some reason the bottom of the building was a little, grassy park. I went down to talk to the people. An old man who new me and saw how scared I was came up to me and picked a little ball of dried grass off the ground. He said that if I wanted to kill myself, an easy way to do that would be to put the wad of grass up my nose, and then smash my nose in with a 2x4. It wasn't malicious, he was just trying to show people a way out if they didn't think they could handle the zombies. I actually considered it, but I didn't just want to kill myself, so I found the best place for me. I thought this was an ingenious solution. I was going to go to the top of the building with a sniper rifle and pick zombies off from above. It was pretty straight forward actually, but for some reason I was the only one who had thought of it. So I waited.

Dream on 10/29/10

There was this big party at a cabin in the mountains with a ton of people from my class at EHS. The place was way up at the top of this hill, with a cobblestone road leading down to a small town below. Everyone was dressed in a contemporary manner, but the whole dream definitely took place during medieval times. There was a magic pool at the bottom of the house, it looked like one of the Great Fairy pools from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Everyone from the party disappeared though all of a sudden, and I was in the cabin with one or two other people that I don't really remember. One I think was an old man that was teaching me how to use my sword for a brief period of time. My sword was the same wooden one from my house in Canada, the only difference was that it had three sections on the blade, right above the hilt. The three slots were for elemental abilities like from the game "protector IV". I had a poison element for the top section and for the bottom section, but the middle section was sort of a strange element. It was a special one that was called Akroma's Sun Sabre. The sections were just a little sliver on the back of the blade, and the special Akroma one looked like it had been hit with a hammer or something repeatedly because it had little circular dents all over it. I thought it was damaged so I tried to peel it off, and it splintered off somewhat in my hand, but then the old man told me what it was so I stopped. I went outside, mounted my horse, and fought off some of the enemies that were right outside the cabin. I then rode down the hill at full speed, swinging my sword at anything that was in my way. The enemies in front of me were skeletal, wrapped in black armor and tatters of skin, but golden light revealed the outlines of their former glory. I hacked my way through them as I shot down the mountain, but I did so quickly, and was soon galloping through the blockades set up by the villagers at the end of the hill. I wasn't attacking them, but I was going too fast on my horse, and I couldn't stop it. This last part was a direct result of my long-boarding down the main drive at EHS. I remember the feeling of mostly being in control of what was carrying me down the hill, but not in control enough to be able to stop myself when I wanted to. It wasn't scary, just extremely awesome. I loved crashing through the enemies on the way down the hill, it was totally badass.

Dream on 10/23/10

Well, I had been watching Guren Lagann a lot that night, so the first part of the dream was not a huge surprise. I was a small gunman robot that looked like these little spinning robot people we had when I was in Italy many years ago. I basically looked like a squat, little red knight, but I had a big blade on my head like a horn that I could cut stuff in half with. This part of the dream was pretty short and it was mainly just an action shot (very anime) of me cutting something in half with my horn. It was from the perspective of behind whatever I was cutting in half, so the halves were nondescript black shapes in the foreground and there were lots of speed/energy lines flowing around me.
The second half of the dream was a little stranger. It took place at the EHS campus, but things were a little rearranged. It was like real life Call of Duty, and I was playing with a lot of my classmates from St. Stephen's. Everyone was running around with guns and shooting at each other, but when you got shot, you respawned at a random location with nothing but your underwear on, and you had to go find guns (this was a really difficult game, looking back on it now, it was super hard to start back up after you respawned). I remember hiding in the locker room and looking for guns in the lockers there. It wasn't a scary dream, it was just like video games and reality had become one. Crazy stuff.

Dream on 10/22/10

I was infiltrating this Spanish drug cartel, and I was running around and hiding in this desert town (this town has been in a lot of my dreams as of late, and I'm not sure why, I don't really know what it means yet, but I'm working on it...), but it was really more like a game of hide-and-seek than a real infiltration mission. I was about to be caught in this one house by an old woman who was secretly a robot or a monster or something, so I was pretty scared, but not nightmare scared.

I woke up because my alarm clock rang.

I went back to sleep and the dream continued, sort of. I was now parked outside this house on a mountain with lots of woods surrounding it. There was a blond Russian girl there (I think because I had talked to Uly the other day), but it wasn't her, and this girl wasn't very attractive. For some reason though, in my mind I kept taking pictures from different angles of her face to find one that made her look more attractive. I really remember it as sort of a photo montage of Polaroid pictures that stacked on top of each other. There was someone tied up to a tree in the woods that the focus would flash to occasionally, but I couldn't tell if they were a friend or foe. The Spanish drug cartel had been replaced by these little red Goblins in this part of the dream. I went into the house with the girl and talked to an old woman (a different one) dressed all in gray. I went back out to the car for a second with the Russian girl, and she asked me a question and I ran to the car to pull out my iPad, which I was super stoked about in the dream for some reason. I also had some sort of nondescript super power, and when I reversed it the ground beneath my feet would start to melt like ice, and I would run/skate on it really fast. The Russian girl had a power too, so I showed her how to do what I could. The dream switched to a sort of action, anime shot of me running on what looked like the top of a brown rock wall towards the camera (angle of the shot was tilted towards the left), lots of speed lines, with the ground starting to melt under my feet. It switched to show the Russian girl doing the same thing, but the camera angle was tilted to the right, and the rock wall beneath her feet was dark turquoise. The dream switched back to the house, and it was like the man tied to the tree was also present in the house, tied up to a column (he was in both places at once) and his power was conjuring these needles into his hands that he could throw, and the version of him in the house had done just that, and thrown the needles through the wall of the house and into a tree just outside. We knew the goblins were coming now, and now they had a way in (through the hole he made with the needles).

Dream on 10/16/10

I was playing Magic the Gathering with some girls in this building for a little bit, one blond, one brunette, both had long ponytails. The dream suddenly switched to this desert town. I remember Grace Chesson being there. I was with two other people, and together the three of us went into the "Cave of Wonders" from Aladdin. Somehow we were at the bottom of it, and there was this sheer wall in front of us. It had little, maze-like ridges sticking out here and there. There was a rope hanging from the top that we had to use to climb up, but we couldn't put too much weight on it, or it would pull this sandbag off this lid, and evil would be unleashed upon the world. We had to climb up the wall to find and sign this book though, so we did it, slowly but surely. We got back to the town, and went inside a building. Some people were having a Nerf war, and I wanted to play, but I was supposed to be listening to someone. I decided not to though, and tossed some of the darts back at them. I went outside and it was now daylight. Grace was in the back seat of a car that whizzed by and almost ran me over. She stuck her head out the window and spoke to me before they drove off. One of my partners noticed the huge supply pack I had set aside, and I told him it was for my next journey. I was returning to the "waking" world.

Dream on 10/15/10

Two Bramblesnaps were fighting, one green, one black. It was JUST like the scene from Darksiders when the main dude fights the shadow version of himself. The two turn into demons and fight each other. It was a huge, drawn out battle. The green one was the good guy, and the black one was pure evil. They were made out of twisted chords of pure mana. The Bramblesnaps had huge horns and giant teeth, it was an awesome fight to be a part of, for I was the green one!

Dream 10/7/10

Magic in canada. New Cards (silver lining like unhinged). Monsters were real and attacking my house. I remember two cards (fish flying through ray became bigger fish, a pill you could attach things to). I sped off to buy new cards, caught by police after weaving through lanes. He didn't give me a ticket when I told him I was just learning, he gave me a clear box of magic cards. I looked at three and morphed into the latest drawing of Hermy I was working on. I got these crazy gray strap boots that changed shape, a cool black feathered cloak with a hood, and some sweet gloves that made my hands look like bandaged puppet hands.

Dream on 10/6/10

I was a paper-maker, specializing in cigarette papers. I invented this one kind of rolling paper that had crushed up match heads in it, so it was sort of off white with small red spots on it. You could just strike them against a wall and they would then light. Someone was after us though, so I remember running down this downward spiraling column of moving sidewalks. We were hiding out in some building from these creatures, and then another building next to us blew up I think. It looked like we were in Ravnica, the city of Guilds.

Number Two (took a nap later):
I was in the movie theater with my credit card papers, I left them. I went back for them, they were gone and Obama had taken them and changed them around. He's so sneaky...

Dream on 10/1/10

This was a crazy one. I was a younger version of me in medieval times. I was in a fort wooden fort with a man who was using this metal cylinder that looked like the thing Rasputin used in the movie Anastasia, but it was all metal and glowing green. He summoned these demons that were all in Doug-esque colors. They had these really terrible spears that were basically fence-posts with rounded points sharpened to a mild edge on one side. The army we summoned fought the humans in this nearby town in a wooded road right outside our fort. Both teams were really terrible and ran away from the fight screaming. I asked the leader guy to summon more, but he said that he couldn't use the whistle (the metal rod) again so soon. The humans (in their knight armor and red-and-white tabards with gold decorations on the front) realized this and came after us. We ran and all of a sudden we were in this bathroom in an apartment building at the end of a road in an Italian looking city. I looked out the window of the bathroom we were in, and saw a van pull up to the front of the house and some men in black suits show up. I knew they were this time period's version of the red-cloaked knights. We were freaking out. As soon as the men knocked on the door a woman in a pink shirt with brown hair opened the door and let them in. I saw a way out. I climbed through the window in the bathroom that I totally shouldn't have been able to fit in, but I sort of just busted through the window frame and broke it out of place. I ran across the roof outside the window (roof 1), and on to the one next door (roof 2). I busted through a Window on roof 2 and was in a spacious attic all of a sudden. I walked around and Amanda Bynes was sitting on a crossbeam, trying to hide from her mother. She wanted to run away with a boy or something like that I think, and the mom came up and yelled, "So this is where you've been hiding!" I helped Amanda get across the floor away from her mother and to a ladder that lead to another small window I was going to help her through. The sun poured in bright and orange, casting light upon all the dust hovering in the air. You could see that ripples through it as we passed across the beams. It was very surreal and movie-like. She turned and asked me why I did it. "Because you're just so adorable," I replied. She was really hot, adorable sounded really stupid, and I realized that after I said it. She laughed, leaned in, and gave me a kiss and climbed the ladder.

Dream on 9/30/10

I think this one was the result of watching an episode of the awful Garfield cartoon on Cartoon Network. I was running through to woods to get to this summer camp I was in charge of. The woods looked like they were in the Seminary right next to the track at EHS. The camp was one little room in the woods full of fish in little aquariums and stuff. The kids were all trying to eat or play with the fish, and I ran around trying to stop them.

Dream on 9/27/10

This one was about Sarah. Not really sure what happened, I just remember talking to her. It has been a while since she showed up in a dream, not really sure what it means this time. Kind of disconcerting though, because now I'm going to be thinking about it for a while...

Dream on 9/26/10

Another Magic dream. You could throw down a card in real life on this sort of imaginary, table-like plane that followed you around. I was running and I threw down a black spell and it shot out this huge, oil covered razor blade at the person following me. Pretty sweet. It made me feel like a real planeswalker, and my deck was my spell book. Awesome.

Dream on 9/24/10

I went to my first FNM last night, and it rocked my world, so I didn't find it surprising that I dreamed about playing Magic. I was playing a mono-white deck (white weenie probably) and I was up against someone playing a black and red deck. I had out three white creatures, but one was sort of in limbo between being in my hand and being on the field. I saw it as both though. The strange card was just Infantry Veteran, but he played a large role in my games last night ( I had him out pretty much every game) and he seemed really important for this turn. That's about all I remember. I also saw it from the same angle as my facebook profile picture.

Dream 9/18/10

This was another dream about Shafer Girl. I invited her over for dinner or something. We went through a haunted house that was pretty cool, but she seemed kind of distant. It was sort of awkward. The haunted house looked really home made, and Kyle was the ring master of the whole thing. It was a white, circular room with a floating chair of some sort in the middle of it. The room wasn't completely circular though, it had panels on the walls, so it was some kind of many sided shape. You had to jump through this little pile of cardboard scraps under Kyle's raised seat. I jumped through ( a total of two times) and passed both of the horror tests. I don't remember what they were though. One I think was some kind of creepy fun house with some crazy ghost monster in it. After I finished though, I was in this strange apartment building that was supposed to be my home. I offered to walk Shafer Girl home, and she said yes, but didn't really seem to care. At this point, she warped again (like in the last dream) but this time she turned into a specific person. She turned into Alexandra Mannix, my best friends ex. I think she turned into Mannix because I would be afraid that the girl I like would turn out like her. I walked her back to her house/apartment. It looks like the place on the way to Panera or Gamestop near home. I recognize it from the movie UHF though as the place the Karate instructor punches though the wall and stuff. I ask her, "Is this the place from uh...that movie?" She just sort of shrugged it off. We go into the apartment and it's absolutely incredible. There is some gorgeous food set up all over the place, a real feast set out. There were some other people there in the rooms beyond the first. I walked past an old man sitting on the couch, and I saw two middle-aged guys in a room to the left. She just walked past them, went and picked up a bottle of wine. I took that as my cue to leave. I turned around and headed out. The end.

Dream on 9/17/10

There were several hills in this one area. I think there were five hills, like the pentagram of colors from magic. Each hill had a staff. It was a long brown cartooney pole with an upside-down cartooney smooth tree stump. That's just what I thought the shape looked like. I am given the green one, the last one left. Now my family is stuck in a snowy mountain. Our bus (the same one from the wolf/rugby team dream). We wandered around lost in the mountains for a while. We had been warped there for some kind of trial or something. We started climbing the snowy, wooded mountain, but were warped back before anything happened.

Argh!

Definitely had another dream last night, and I woke up early this morning and remembered it, but I went back to sleep and now I cant! I hate it when that happens! I think I remember a man with black hair though, and some kind of puzzle, but that's all I got.

Sunday, September 12, 2010

Dream on 9/11/10

This one was kind of short, but interesting because it pertained to what happened just before I went to sleep. At the Inflatable Games night, they had a rock climbing wall outside the Field House. I didn't actually go on it, but it looked pretty sweet. I think I had also talked about climbing with someone recently, so I think that's what prompted the dream. In the dream I was set up at the climbing wall, but it was daytime. I tried climbing the first part, I don't remember specifically what it was, but I want to say it was some weird sort of rope I had to shimmy up, and for whatever reason it wasn't working. I could have done it, but the rope or whatever it was was broken so it didn't work. I decided to go up the other way though, which was this huge, upwards zig-zagging path covered in these little plastic things. They would have looked something like this ===O== but were vertical. They reminded me exactly of the little plastic connector bits from chemistry sets that they use to model chemical compounds. I know exactly how they should have felt (and it should have been a little unpleasant) but I just climbed right up them and didn't really physically notice the texture at all. I find this interesting because this isn't the first dream I've been conscious of how something should have felt, but my dream self doesn't actually feel it at all.

Nightmares

God, I've been having the same nightmare several nights in a row, and I'll wake up from it and remember everything about it and realize that it's the same one I've had before, but I can never remember what it is afterwords! I just remember it's really scary, and I think my conscious mind is trying to shield me from it. It always feels very real and scary!

Dream on 9/9/10

I was at a party leaning up against a fence talking to Kyle about how pumped I was for the Cataclysm midnight release that was happening later that night. I pretty blond girl who doesn't exist in real life comes up and gives me a quick peck on the lips and starts talking about her sorority party and how we should both come. I sort of disregard it though after she leaves and I tell Kyle about how I saw a girl named Emma the other day who we met last year. I turn around though and she's leaning on the fence next to me, my arm over her shoulders. She gives me a smile and a quick kiss on the lips and walks off. As she walks off though she sort of morphs into a less attractive version of herself which kind of put me off, because she's really gorgeous in real life. At this point I don't know whether to go to the party or to the midnight release. I decide to go back to dorm, and I stumble home drunkenly even though I hadn't had anything to drink. I meet Rob on the way home (who was wearing the same thing he was wearing when I met up with him the other day). I make it back to dorm and head to the bathroom, but something happened there, I'm not quite sure what though. I wanna say a resident caught me acting drunk or something, but I don't really remember.

Dream on 9/5/10

This was pretty interesting. It had more "That 70's Show" aspects to it as well. I was in some desert town at night talking to Donna, who was my girlfriend. She wanted to fool around but I had to go out into the desert to do something with Fes, who didn't sound like normal Fes from the show. I explained to her that we could fool around when I got back. Fes and I attached this weird string to ourselves that connect us to one another. it would extend a certain amount and looked like thin metal wire, but could hold a huge amount of weight. To prove this, Fes pulled me up to the ceiling and I was hanging there by my waistband for a couple seconds. Fes and I left the city, but as we were leaving, some ruffians were messing with my skateboard (which I had left by the main entrance to the city). It was all black and neon green, and the wheels turned sideways and folded up into the board for easy storage. The dude was trying to get my bearings so I told him to stop and took my board away. We walked swiftly into the dunes, following a group of other people who were going off to sand-board or something like that. The gang of ruffians started walking after us though. The leader caught up with me and I knew he was going to hit me. "Nice night," I said. "Sure is," he replied. He grabbed me by the shoulder but before he hit me we both mutually understood that he didn't really want to beat me up, and that we were just going to make it look good. He said something like, "I'll give it four out of five," and then sort of threw me backwards. I jumped back and spun, landing on my stomach. Now, it was understood from the beginning of the dream that these desert cities were all famous for making this sort of green, yogurt-smoothie thing that looked like Trix yogurt. I had drunk this before I left the city, so I threw it up in the sand to make it look like the gang leader had hit me really hard. It didn't hurt or anything like throwing up normally would, it was almost like I just sort of pushed it up out of my stomach. I did this a couple of times for good effect. Somehow, the strange wire that connected Fes and I broke. The gang leader had left me after the first punch, and saw that the ruffians had caught Fes and were probably actually going to hurt him. He went back to help him escape while making it look like he had been run out of town. Fes and I ran off into the desert, but Fes also left the dream at this point. I found myself going to a house way out in the dunes. There, I found myself. I was a little older than me, and my own father. The father me laid out some couch cushions and wrapped them in sheets to make a bed and told me to stay for the night. He was dressed in bluejeans and a gray sweatshirt that was a little too big for him. It reminds me of one that was Grandpas.

Dream on 9/3/10

It was a "That 70's Show" dream where I was Eric Forman. The core group of friends was putting on a big musical event for a Honda sale in this large blue, lego-like structure in an unspecified location. We were all wearing blue jump suits singing Rolling Stones songs. Kelso got really mad because he didn't know any of the words and looked really frustrated and like he was about to cry.

Then, I was in a car with Kyle and Nico and a little dog (Porkchop I think) and we were driving through some city. We went down an exit lane and all of a sudden we were looking at these HUGE snow-covered mountains. They were extremely vivid and absolutely gorgeous. An avalanche started on the slopes to the side of the exit ramp we were on though and began to pile on top of us, but it didn't feel particularly heavy, or wet, or dangerous, or even that much like snow at all.

Dream on 8/31/10

I was "on duty" at my old high school. I was walking around with some teacher who reminded me of Mr. Cetrullo, but wasn't anyone that actually exists. He was trying to get me to take the walkie-talkie from him earlier than I was scheduled to. Beau Perona was also on duty but was really tired all the time. We were down on the field next to the main drive closest to my house. There was some sort of Parthenon-esque tomb in the woods there too. Beau went and took a nap on a couch in the tomb, and I was still talking to this teacher dude. It looked and felt like it was going to rain soon, and we could all hear thunder in the distance. My dad came running up and told me to get the walkie-talkie so that I could head up the hill and report for duty before the thunderstorm hit. For some reason it felt like a mix between grounds crew and RA duty, I think because I had to wear the walkie-talkie for both of them...

Dream on 8/29/10

This was a really interesting dream. It had all the same characters the whole time, but the locations and scenarios changed a lot.
Smiley Face: The first location. I was in here by myself I think trying to figure out what snacks to buy. that's about it.
Black Cat: Second location. It was a music shop (kind of like Plan 9) and was a having a blowout sale. I lived right nearby so I got there first way early in the morning. I forgot to wear my Black Cat t-shirt though (it was beige with the black cat firecracker logo on it, pretty cool shirt) so I ran home and got it and then went back to the store.
Late to class: I was watching videos on youtube even though I had an assignment due in class the next day and I had done nothing for it. I was watching them on my computer out in the hall, but when a friend came up, I closed the computer because I didn't want him to see what I was watching. It was early in the morning the day the assignment was due (maybe about 2-3 am) so I went out with my brother to get supplies to complete the assignment. It was really snowy, and I had this vision of him getting hit by a car, so I went first to try and clear the way. I made it up this one hill, but a car almost backed into me. I scrambled past, and then my brother came up. I turned around just in time to see him get run over by the car.
Plane Crash: I was in a building with a lot of people I don't really know. One blond woman with pearl earrings and a black business suit on seemed to know me though. I leaned out the window and watched the mushroom cloud rise on the horizon. It was strangely peaceful for me. No noise, nothing. I looked over to the blond woman and she was crying. She looked at me and said, "I'm so sorry..." Then I was on a plane, and it was going to crash because of the explosion. I was sitting next to one of my co-workers and I was hoping that we would crash into a building because I didn't want some post-apocalyptic, "Book of Eli" type future to go down. I really didn't want her to get raped. I remember that specific thought. We didn't crash into a building though, we landed relatively smoothly on a road. I was upset because I thought she was going to get raped now, but things looked alright. We got out, ran with a bunch of the other people on the plane (all kids) to go find some snacks in some of the ruined buildings. We found some cereal, it was great. It became night though, and we needed a place to sleep. I remembered that Justin, Kyle, and I had all spent the night one in a batting tent that actually looked like a tent. I took my co-worker there with a few of the other kids, but these big athletic black guys were throwing the balls at each other. The balls looked like those squishy fake baseballs people use in practice sometime. When I got close, I got hit right in the face with one of the balls and fell to my knees. I tried retaliating by throwing balls back (it felt like dodgeball) but I wasn't good enough. Just before the barrage of balls hit me I woke up for good.

Dream on 8/27/10

I was doing floor walks with three other people from my RA staff, but we were doing them in the house from Saw II (which I saw just before going to sleep). All of the doors were locked when we checked the handles and stuff. There was also no noise or smell or anything so we didn't think anything of it. We got to a metal spiral staircase though and Kelly Bragg was there (a girl I went to lower and middle school with) and she was talking about how one of the other RA's with me had walked right past this one dude on the staircase. He was in a black hoodie and looked like a total junkie, but was locked out of the room and the RA was supposed to let him in. She said that she hadn't done that, but then all of a sudden there was a flashback apparition type thing that appeared on the stairs above us that showed here saying she wouldn't let him into the room because he was a junkie. Crazy shit...

Dream on 8/26/10

I was in a house with my family and this other family. I think it was with Carlos, one of the guys on grounds crew I worked with over the summer. They were keeping us there against our will and were being really mean and thought it was really funny. For some reason I was looking for a little wooden bowl with what looked like some dried holly leaves in it. It was all kind of confusing. I think I was there for a girl, but her family turned out to be way evil, not so cool. I remember looking around through the basement for the bowl while her family was looking for me on the floor above. And I distinctly remember seeing Carlos laugh. No idea what this dream meant though...

Dream on 8/22/10

This one had three parts, but I only really remember one, sorry. I was having this huge debate with another scientist about metaphysics. I was holding this dragon made out of stone in my hands. It was rainbow colored and reminded me of one I had seen at a multicultural festival in fourth grade I think. It looked oriental in nature, and the marble was a little rough cut, or maybe sand blasted or something so it had a weathered feel to it. We were arguing though, about whether or not the dragon could be placed UNDER a hole. It sounds stupid, and probably was, but we were seriously about to kill each other over this argument.

Dream on 8/18/10

I was at the PRC (an arts and crafts room available only to RAs) with all of my staff, and Josh (the nicest dude ever) was being a HUGE asshole. He was being really mean to everyone and talking about how much all of their door decks and posters sucked. I got really frustrated with it so I punched him in the face. His head turned with the impact, but it was like he didn't even feel it. He then hit me with his cinder block of right hand, broke my jaw and put me on the floor. He left the PRC to get more materials. I ran to the door and tried to figure out how to lock it then closed it and braced myself against it. Apparently I hadn't locked it though and Josh just opened the door like there was nothing in the way at all. I had been shouting at everyone about how we need to do stuff and confront him about this, and when Josh came back in we all talked it out.

Dream on 8/14/10

Melisandre is the name I remember most vividly. She was either our blood witch, or the enemies. She would slit her wrist, put a drop of blood on some parchment, and the blood would stretch across to form a line. She could write any name in the blood and that person would die. We were in the King's room. He looked like the guy from Dragon Age, but with long hair. I was just there (maybe a knight or guard or something). Our blood witch fought the enemy blood witch and ours died, and incapacitated the enemies (or so we thought). While preparing for battle in the King's room though. Blood started pooling on Melisandre's (I'm pretty sure she was on our team) books. the King said, "With Melisandre gone, I hate to think what foul creature is doing this..." and all I could see in my head was the enemy's blood witch coming for us.

Dream on 8/12/2010

Oh man this was a good one. I was helping a girl I recently met through this huge underground maze that went from looking like some old attic or boathouse to this huge underground factory. She was crying the whole time because her parents were going through some serious shit that she had never told anyone about before. It felt really good to be there for her too. At the end of the dream right before I woke up, she had just said, "You go on without me, I want to be alone for a little while," but at that point there was no where for me to leave, so I was just going to keep walking her the rest of the way to catch up with the rest of our staff.

Update

Despite the change in location, and all that has been going on recently, I have had no memorable dreams as of late, but I'll post them as soon as I get them!

Dream on 8/4/10

So I was putting on a play, but it was all actually happening in real life too at the same time, and I was telling people about the play in the future. This was the play. I was in a group of ninjas that were set up strategically all over what looked like a WoW instance, but was some priests hideout. We waited for the monks to walk past a certain point, then we all jumped out and scared them. They dropped this book (which is what we were looking for) and my captain jumped down and said that we had the "foot". I asked him why it was called a foot (i think there was a foot in the book) but he just sighed like he was tired of explaining and said that the book was the foot and now we had the foot. I congratulated the other "actors" on my way out of the maze and then I was in a summer home where everyone was trying to get to a different room all the time, but there was something fishy going on between these two grandparent couples. One was cheating on his wife with a young girl who, when the wife saw, came at the wife yelling mean things like "You skank! You whore!" and the wife was all like, "No, YOU'RE the skank! Not me!"

Plane Ride

I met the coolest guy on the ride home from Canada today. He started off the conversation by cracking a joke, and then burst into this deep conversation about meta-physics and spirits and perceptions of life! It was totally awesome! I mean, I'm not sure I agree 100% with all the stuff he was saying, but it was totally cool!!

Dream on 8/2/10

So this one was very WoW-like. I was fighting evil Draeni and those creepy bird people pretty much the whole time. The only weapon I had were my fists and this strange rock I could put between my middle and ring fingers to make a sort of fist weapon. I made lots of lightning though so it was pretty sweet, but the Dreani's were always much bigger and cooler looking. Somehow I got away from everyone (the Dreani were evil here I think). I was on a beach (Schoodic Point I think) and I was giving someone a gift I think. It was a guitar pic that was meant to be used as one of those rock fist weapons. It was brown and had a strange red rune on it, and I was teaching the person how to use it. Lol, heirloom items....

Dream on 7/31/10

This one was probably a result of my just having seen Toy Story 3 (totally awesome by the way), but I was Woody and I was running around in the desert, trying to hide from what looked like an alien cow skull or something. It looked like those cow skulls you see in western movies and stuff, but it had glowing red and yellow lines that made it look more like a spaceship than anything made of bone. I finally got away from it by hiding between a huge cardboard box and a large boot.

Dream on 7/27/10

First, I was in a strange underground city. I looked like Killerbee (or whatever his name is from Medabots) and there was another one that looked like a saber tooth tiger or something. We morphed out of our armor to look like our normal human selves, with some of the medabot parts still there. I had two swords in my left hand, and one flimsy rapier in my right. There were three of us running around killing these gray humans that were bad for some reason. Zombie vampires or something. I had to cut off their heads or stab right through them, and I couldn't do it with the rapier. It just kept bending, which was really dangerous because I could have died from vampire bites or something.
Then, I was with my family and we were going through the city that the Alajas Ajani zombie massacre happened in. We were trying to find a place to stay so we were going to my friend Chris P.'s house. As we got to the door I remembered that he had turned into a junkie and he opened the door pouring sweat and in nothing but some old tighty-wighties. We came in, I saw his eyes were beet red, and there was paraphernalia all over the place. There were a bunch of other people there too playing video games.
This last part is a little blurry, but I remember it being much like Final Fantasy for the DS (same sort of aesthetic). I was a knight in a big city of knights. There were three levels for each person. Level one was very ornate looking armor. Level two was less armor, but huge fiery wings erupted from your back. Level three was more cartooney, had even less armor, and had smaller white cartoon wings. I was level one, fighting four level threes. I was super awesome though because I was trying to save the queen of the purple tower. The level threes ran out of mana or something though and morphed back to level two. That's about all I can remember.

Dream on 7/24/10

This was like a 20 part dream, so I only remember bits and pieces. First, I was looking for houses with the younger of the two Salazar brothers from 24, season 3. They were all on a relatively flat plain, white-trim, white everything really, and the inside looked a little rundown (college student kind of rundown) but it all had nice white furniture that looked really new. Me and Salazar were both wearing white suits to go with everything. We sat down on a couch and Salazar said, "You know, [name] was killed right here, in this exact spot." and then a fine red mist bursts from the side of his head and he slumps to the floor dead. A swat team busted in and I was freaking out, and that's where that part of the dream ended.
In the second part, I was just questing in World of Warcraft as my level 63 Tauren Death Knight. It was sweet. I was in Hellfire Peninsula and I was just running around killing ambiguous monsters for some quest or another. There was one more major part to the dream, but I forgot it. I should have written this down earlier, my b.

Dream on 7/23//10

I was leading a group of kids across this mountain. We got to a swimming pool that had a helmet in it (looked like the Daft-Punk one) so I dove it to get it, but as I held it up it turned into ash. The focus went away to this little animal that was exploring the woods. He came across a metal container of some sort and opened it to see what was inside. Inside was a Cantaloupe with a triangular mouth and three huge triangular teeth that came off the bottom jaw. In a cage behind him in the corner was a watermelon with the same sort of mouth. They both had eyes and little tiny hands and feet, but they were really kind of scary. I think the cantaloupe at the creature that found him and released the other guy, but by then we were swimming across the shallows of the river. The cantaloupe was close on our heels though so we ran back to EHS where we started to put on a play with some real animals. We had a bear, a lion, two white wolves, and some other animals. The parents were waiting for the play, so while everyone got ready, I got the wolves out of a wheelbarrow, where one had been kind of smushed so It ran out, skittered on the street, made it to the grass and then fell down with a whimper. I climbed a tree to start painting the lion black, then climbed down to a lower branch to see if I could reach the bear on the ground, but he didn't like being painted so much, so he just got a few stripes. A girl was supposed to be painting the children's eyes black, but she was no good at it so I stepped in. I took them to a mirror and found she had just done a big outline, some swirlies, and written a name around one boys eye (I really want to remember what that name was. It was an author I think). I started getting to work on the eye, but woke up before I could finish.

Dream on 7/22/10

We went as a family to go see this strange museum. We went with Gram, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Waver, and Ben. I helped Gram down the tiles, which weren't very slippery for me, but were much more so for her for some reason. I sort of ran ahead to an exhibit about tools, hoping to find one that would sever a chicken's spinal chord and make all its feathers fall out at the same time. Everyone caught up was was really interested in this long, flat, hard to use device that was used for pulling VHS tapes out of jammed VCRs. Dad pulled out some kind of orange rasp that looked like a cheese-grater out of his pocket and began sawing off the end with his knife to make it look like one of the tools there. I went out the door, down this long rocky staircase that was more of a wall than anything else. The rest of the family had gone another route to look at this exhibit about these first, holy people. I came around a corner and was in the exhibit with all the holy people. They saw me and started talking about how I was special. A piece of a package had fallen into their cage that had some numbers on it. They had used those numbers to create a holy language that spoke the truth. I tried to crawl up the wall and they stopped me, and drew a weird (sort of stupid) looking symbol on my face. I finished crawling up the wall and got back to my family and told them all about it but they didn't believe me. I left the zoo and everything turned into a sort of 8-bit "Pokemon" style view and I went to this club that I was "king" of where everyone knew I was a holy/chosen person. I was talking with a guy who didn't have a girlfriend so we both bonded over that and then went to the store to pick up a magazine. This was a special magazine though, and if a girl saw us buying it then she would want to go out with us. He was wearing some really tight underwear shorts that showed off his junk and I was wearing the same sort of thing. We decided to leave though and go back to the clubhouse behind the bush in the 8-bit zone though because we would have had to walk past a bunch of embarrassing magazines to get to the one we wanted. I went into my chamber and changed into my dragon-skin suit (which was really flamboyant and ridiculous), then we headed back to the store. We made it to the magazine. One girl who worked at the store saw my friend and liked him, but then another came over and sent her away because she also wanted my friend. I was looking in the magazine that got us the girls and I realized that I could see the future in it. I felt bad for the girl who had gotten there first but was then sent away so I went to find her.

Dream on 7/21/10

I don't remember too much about this dream other than it was cool. I was on horseback along a rocky, lava-ravaged stretch of land at the base of a volcano. I was commanding a large group of knights also on horseback, and I had an ancient black crystal spear (throwback to the 7th Tower book I'm reading), and we were waiting of the Bogordan Hellkite to emerge.

Dream on 7/19/10

I don't really remember the start of this one too much, I only remember sailing (or maybe windsurfing) at night from little island to little island across choppy water. The water was rough but for some reason I was really good at whatever I was doing. I got to one Island and there was a funeral taking place. There was nowhere to sit other than next to this mean fat woman, so I sat there. For some reason they started talking about religion and how no one really knew a whole lot about the Muslims. My 8th grade drama teacher (Mrs. Brown) stood up and said that she was from the "New" Jamaica (this was a post-apocalyptic dream I guess) and that the "New" Jamaicans were all Muslim. She started going off about this whole religious movement that really didn't sound like Islam, but the fat woman next to me was trying to silently convince her even fatter daughter across the row that she should try to marry me.

Dream on 7/20/10

This one felt very familiar too, but I don't think I've had it before. I was running through some fields towards an old barn. I got there and was looking around quietly, trying not to wake up the zombies I knew were somewhere nearby. Finally I was called upstairs by an old man. I locked the door behind me and waited in the loft of the barn (which was on a street much like a house would be) for the zombie threat to pass. Apparently they only come out at sunset, not even at nigh, so it was all over pretty quickly, but it was scary nonetheless.After that, I left the house with a shotgun and a few shells to do I don't know what, but that's all that I can remember.

Dream on 7/18/10

This was actually the second time I've had this dream, it was just a little longer that time. I was Leomon and I was fighting other digimon in a dungeon. I was weaker in this version of the dream though. Some digimon that looked like a Kitsune Samurai from MTG. I escaped the basement where they had put me and I was climbing up this snow covered hill when I saw two busses coming though the snow on either side. I quickly buried myself in the snow on the hill, but the bad digimon found me, hung me up by my foot from a platform over the cliff and then let me drop.

Dream on 7/17/10

This was a crazy one. Dakota Fanning and I were fighting goblins in a very World of Warcraft-esque manner. I had an axe and was landing critical hits left and right, it was way sweet other than the fact that I fucking love goblins. We finished the all off and then we were going to go with the white cycling dude to go expose some politician or something or do a news report I think. Either way, we took a car down to the river near the overpass in Richmond to meet this middle-aged black dude. We were talking about stuff when all of a sudden a tornado formed out of the sky and began funneling down towards the water maybe 200 feet from us. We all started freaking out so we got in the cars. Dakota and the cycling dude got in the black guy's car, and the black guy and I got in Dakota's van, but neither of us had the keys for either car. We were all freaking out for a sec. Then I looked at the shoreline and I saw a little monster. "Is that a Tyranid?" I asked. No one answered. "IS THAT A TYRANID?" I asked again louder. I knew it was though. It was a Ripper, but for some reason I kept saying Genestealer, maybe because those are the creepiest. I found the keys next to me and started the car. The black guy came up to the front seat to drive so that I could look out the window at what was going on. I couldn't see Dakota, but the cyclist was riding his bike in front of a HUGE swarm of Hormagaunts, Termagaunts, and Rippers. They took the front wheel of his bike and I thought he was a gonner, but all of a sudden he and Dakota jumped forward and landed on the back of our van, holding fast to the doors and crouching on the back bumber. We hauled ass into the city. Turns out the Tyranids got there before us though. Everyone knew about them and they had been stealing animals' skins to look like our house pets. Grandma made me take out the bunnies we had and kill them, then I went back in and looked at my kitten. He was fine but he had a HUGE caterpillar stuck to his head so I pulled it off. That's when I woke up.

Dream on 7/12/10

Alajas Ajani. The zombie outbreak in some latin country. I got an extremely vivid depiction of small children being torn apart by their bloodthirsty parents. One little girl made it out alive and ran off into the fields, covered in blood much like that scene from Inglorious Basterds.
The second part of the dream was way crazier. I was with Don and we were supposed to be going to a nice restaurant, but i guess that changed. I was on a huge buss that was taking a large group of EHS people up north. We had done it before with less people, but now there were more for some reason. A lot more. I tried to go sit up next to Anne Pennington, but ended up sitting next to Marshall Weisiger and her friends. I think Anne said she didn't really want to sit with me. Well, somehow I ended up on a net outside of the buss. there were wolves and dear all around as we tore down the snowy road. The wolves kept jumping up to bite me, but I dodged each time. We finally got to this big right turn across a small river. For some reason there was a big fence with people (and wolves) on the other side. As we came around the turn, ALL the wolves came at the buss and the people couldn't hold them off. Luckily they didn't get me and we drove off pretty fast. We came to a rival school for safety, but they started beating up the kids that got off the buss. We were also in a stadium and thousands of people were watching this happen. A bunch of dudes (the rugby team) put on big leather arm-length gloves with metal studs all over them and started beating people up hardcore. I decided I wasn't about to watch my friends get kicked around so I ran in and tackled the captain. I punched him in the face a couple times, and apparently I did it really hard because his face was all mushy and bloody and pale. He tried to do a double-legged take down but I sprawled. He felt so weak. I wrestled him down and got him in a head lock (with the arm inside too) and kept him pinned. After I was sure I had won I walked out and stood in a line near the buss with the other students. Their coach saw him and asked "WHO DID THIS?" so I stepped forward and said "I did..." They gave a speech about how the boy was captain of the team and how he was in the student government and now people would have to see him like this. I was about to explode with retorts about how it wasn't very mature or presidential or anything like that of him to beat up our students with a big mailed glove, but my Mom woke me up, so I never got to say anything.

Dream on 7/8/10

I had been invited to go to the pool with Megan Pierce and Beth. I went and I was going to go off the diving board like everyone else, but the tip of the diving board was bent into the water. I jumped anyways though because people were yelling at me to do it. The diving board split in half and everyone was all aghast. The Life Guard was some dude with puffy black hair, aviators, and a green shirt. He was getting mad and I was being really defensive because it was a piece of shit diving board and what did he suspect? It looked like it had been broken for a long time before I got there. I walked out of the pool because he was still getting really angry and I was outside and walking past the fence when he said, "I wrap my wiener around my finger," I don't know why he said it, but I knew that he was french, and I was in Canada so I yelled, "C'est trop court!!!" which means "It's too short!!!" which apparently was a huge insult because he started yelling about how he was gonna beat me up and started chasing after me. I ran away and ran into the EHS Health Center. I was going to run through, and I ran past Mrs. Moore in one room but I came back to say "Bonjour Madame!" and then kept running.

Dream on 7/2/10

I was an Injured panther in my house and I was trying to save this girl from an angry mob of dudes outside. I climbed into a cupboard near the stairs that had a clear view of the door. I had one shot in a shotgun and a fully loaded desert eagle. I let the door open and I took out the first wave with the shotgun. There were twelve people in the angry mob though, so each shot of the pistol had to count. I never got to see if I got them all and saved the girl though. And don't ask me where a panther learned to shoot guns.

Dream on 7/3/10

First, I was a rat, the very first rat in a huge line of rats that was running across this huge field in the middle of the night. Then I was at school, starting my RA duties, but it was at EHS which was kind of weird. I set up my room and waited, but none of the new boys arrived. I left to go to Gamestop or something, and when I came back, one of my roommates had moved in and a bunch of kids were moving in. They were all really strange too. There was a really poor Oliver Twist looking kid and his dad sitting in the hallway. I asked a woman outside my room if her son had moved into my room, and she said "You're the RA aren't you supposed to know these things?" Then she got on the phone with some businessman and said she was the wife of the guy who painted the T-Rex with the hat on and she needed to know something. The man on the phone said ".....I thought that was a dog" and told her he couldn't help her. I walked around looking at the other guys on my hall. I opened one door though and it was full (floor to ceiling) with folders and papers. I touched it and it slid back. Behind it was a room!!! Jack Ballenger and some new boy were sitting there playing on their computers. It was a secret room that had all sorts of crazy stuff in it, including Henry Eschelmann's shoes and all of Khoury's shoes that he had peed on (weird right?). I walked out of the secret room and Mr. Watts saw me. "We're trying to close down the drug room Eric, not re-open it!" Then Jack and the other guy (who happened to be the brother of another Amish guy on the floor) came out and we all sat down to dinner. The other Amish guy tried to punish us or something so he put beans on our rice, but that really wasn't that bad....

Dream on 6/30/10

The front hall of the Dining hall had been turned into really awesome old classrooms. I was standing in one looking at a painting that was made of very thick glass so it reflected a lot of light. A man (who sort of looked like Mr. Epshteyn) came in and told me to stop looking in a mirror and get out of the classroom. I said "Excuse me? My family has been teaching here for almost thirty years! I go to school here, and I'm waiting for my class to start!" I turned around and saw another girl from my class sitting down. "Isn't that right?" I said to her and she nodded. I turned back to the old dude. "Would you like a tour of the school?" I asked the guy. "I'll take you around the classrooms here and we can end up at the piece of art i was just looking at.
I don't remember too much of part two. It was sort of like a video game and it was in my Canada House. I used these counters that looked like slices of cake to clean up the house. Mary MC came into the house and looked at the cake like someone had eaten it, but I didn't have time to explain otherwise.

Dream on 6/28/10

The first part was me fighting these things in the woods. I had a lantern in one hand and a sword in the other. There were these red flaming skulls were flying around trying to kill me. They were all see through and became invisible in the darkness. I had to hold my lantern up and shine the light on them to see them, but my candle kept running out. I put my sword under my arm and ran through the woods, changing the candle in the lantern as I ran. That part of the dream ended before I could see whether or not they got me.
The second part was I was working at a basketball place with Nick Styles. We were both on the sidelines, managing for a team, but the team game up so he put on a jersey and I just went out in my shorts and t-shirt. We totally schooled the other team. I scored a rockin' one handed half court shot to finish the game and then we spent the rest of the time wandering through the maze of a gym we had been playing in.
I think there was one more part that also involved Nick Styles again, but I really can't remember what it was.

Dream on 6/27/10

First we were fleeing this city for some reason. but everyone was leaving and I went to go say goodbye to Robb with my Mom. He have me a bunch of pot so I shoved it in my pocket really quick. The police knew a drug deal was going down somewhere near us so I quickly threw out the stuff in the first trash can we walked by. We left the city in the car and that's all I can remember of that part. For the second part I was in this one huge black dude's house. I think he was a famous DJ or something. There were a bunch of underprivileged kids from Africa there that were all watching this music video, and the big DJ would always come out of his room REEKING of pot. He was getting bummed out though because he was going to throw a massive party for the kids, but all they wanted to do was watch TV. He really, really wanted to play some Black Eyed Peas.

Dream on 6/26/10

This dream was pretty sweet. It was real life World of Warcraft. I was horde, but I still looked like me. I was supposed to be Tauren, but everyone online looked like themselves, not like their race. The only equipment that showed up was the shoulders and weapons. Everything else was just normal clothes (t-shirt, shorts, etc.). I just remember finding this really sweet red axe. The name was red because it was one of a kind. It was also an axe though and I couldn't use it yet so everyone wanted it from me. I went to Orgrimar and learned how to use axes from the weapons master though. I ran up this gorgeous grass covered cliff though and stared out at the blue sky, axe and shield in hand and looked out across the world....of warcraft...

Dream on 6/24/10

This dream started off in a back alley. It was really green and dirty and gross looking but we didn't seem to mind. Charlotte Savage (a classmate from MacArthur) and I were going to try to sneak into this club through this tube coming out the back. We never really got in though. The second part was at EHS. Chuck Onuaku and myself were walking around on move-in day. We were hanging out at the Shop which had actually been transformed into some sort of academic building or had offices in it or something. A teacher (for some reason I keep thinking it's Matt Lively) came up and asked Chuck if he had everything straight for the coming year, and he said he did, but I knew that he wasn't actually going to school at EHS that year. I'm pretty sure it had to do with a class mixup or something kind of stupid, but for whatever reason he wasn't going to EHS. The third and final part of the dream was a party. I want to say that it was the Grad Party that I'll be going to tonight, but I don't know. I don't remember too much about it other than the fact that it was a party.

Dream on 6/22/10

I was dead and Hell was a video game. It was pretty sweet too. I was at the final level with my girlfriend (someone I've never seen). There were actually a fair amount of people at the final level, they all looked like they were just trick-or-treating though. The final level looked like EHS if the hill near Penick was a graveyard and the buildings were all crazy. I kept running back to this one place where there was this creepy old woman who would bite people to kill them. She stole my girlfriend's soul though so she couldn't respawn at the graveyard like everyone else. She was mad at her because my gf accidentally got Jack (the pumpkin king) killed and the other bosses had to step up to take his place but they weren't ready so the place was going crazy. The old creepy woman would have tea parties and the only way to beat her was to send this ping-pong ball down through this crazy machine and into her teacup. And I ALMOST had it, but she moved it at the last second. There were finally some other people there who were distracting her, so I was going to try again, but then Jack came in and woke me up.

Dream on 6/21/10

First I had to put on a play for my English class. I don't remember any of the classmates really, but I know my teacher was a young black woman. I was supposed to have been working on it for a while, but I hadn't done anything. I stalled long enough to get out of class. I ran around the city that night looking for my friends to get them to help me out, but they were all out getting drunk. I couldn't find any of them, so the next day I went to class and my classmates there helped me out. They had all practiced and stuff so I at least passed the assignment. Then it turned into the Oprah race dream again. I don't know if I wrote that one down before, but I know I've had it. I was turned into a bee and was racing through this insane obstacle course with other bees collecting different kinds of healthy food. It looked like some place out of The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. I won in the end because I had collected the most fruit.

Dream 2 on 6/19/10

We were walking down the main drive and popped some balloons that were hanging out of two holes that just seemed to be floating in the middle of the sky. Dexter's arms came down and he was mad people were always destroying his inventions. I ran past the Halm's old house which actually turned out to be his laboratory. He got in the stretching machine (it looked like a taffy stretching machine), it worked so he got in again which made him too huge and stretchy. He sat down and huge dexter and began to cry about how his inventions never work.

Dream on 6/19/10

We went as a family back to Mopps and went swimming in their underground play pen. It was flooded and had fish in the central pillar. It looked like it was made of cardboard and found objects. It was starting to fall apart but Dad really didn't seem to notice. I finally convinced everyone to crawl out through a small tunnel. We ended up in a city that I don't think exists, but one that I had been in once before in another dream. We ran back to Mopps and tried to change into our regular clothes, but the only place we had to change had three little girls in it who were all giggling.

Dream on 6/13/10

I was trying to get this little girl to mow the lawn in a straight line so i set out this huge line of pink glowing dust (like the voodoo dust in the Princess and the Frog) but her dad kept talking to me and distracting both me and the little girl.

Dream on 6/11/10

I went to best buy looking for Wrath/magic cards but instead i got sucked into this Digimon game and i used some form of Terriermon to beat a much stronger Digimon. it was a sweet battle in a big blue square room (like the one in Ender's game).
The second part was I was some sort of scientist/artist on an island. i met these two hot girls that also worked in the same company as me and they ended up coming back to my hotel with me and my Asian co-worker, but the manager happened to be some sort of crazy serial killer with a thing for brutally mutilating people. I made a mask for him of a mutilated face (which I showed to the girls in my room because I thought it was creepy but all they did was laugh), but he made me wear a leather face mask while I was doing it. I gave him some back-talk about it and he held up a head that looked just like the mask I had made for him. He said that he would have done it to me, but I made a good mask for him. He said that he had only shown me kindness and that I had shown him disrespect. I left at the end, my cat turned back into a lion, then turned into a wolf creature (like a Gnoll, but reminded me of the Magic Card "Spirit Wall") wearing a little dress. The sequel was going to be called Revontulet.

Dream on 6/10/10

EHS hired some company to bring a bunch of fake zombies for a halloween party but they brought a bunch of real ones that were dying so they thought it would be OK. Dad, Sam, and I were going to use one of the school busses for something but there was a zombie on top. dad thought it was creepy but didn't know that it was still alive. I yelled at the zombie and it slowly turned to look at me. I told dad and he said "are you serious?" very concerned. It was scary.

Dream on 5/28/2010

I was in a class at governor's school and the teacher had a red sweater vest, brown hair and glasses on. He put on a movie that we had never seen before, but that we were actually in. There was a little boy with brown hair and glasses (who was not the teacher) in the movie with two mean parents. They had cast some sort of spell on him and were mean so he ran away. He bolted through the town and absorbed people. WE didn't actually know what was going on though, we just knew that something was a little different about him. When he absorbed people his physical appearance didn't change, he just held that person inside of him. Eventually the kids parents caught up to him (roughly around the same time we did) he had jumped a chain link fence and was in a darkened doorway. The parents were in the light and pretending that they were so glad they had found him. All we could see of the boy though were his two glowing blue eyes. A third glowing eye opened up on his forehead, but then faded out after a couple seconds. The house belonged to a beautiful young woman who had been working in the garden around back. She was dressed quaintly, but totally pulled it off. She asked him "Who are you?" but it was really more like, "How many people do you have in you? Which of them are you? Who are you now?" She was wearing my Ganesh necklace, and brushed it aside to reveal a small tattoo or marking of some kind on her chest. I couldn't really make out what it was, it almost looked like the Horde symbol from WoW, or maybe something kind of like an ornate plus sign. Whatever it was, it meant that she had the same power as the little boy, but she could control it. "Who are you?" she asked again, but then the episode ended. Our teacher gave us a worksheet for homework that asked us to reorganize the national budget, using only $20,000.

Dream 2 on 5/25/2010

Abed from Community was all over the place in this one. He had an emo haircut and was wearing a red and white choir robe. He was a famous youth muslim leader and had a huge portrait all over this temple in the woods. I was helping another kid come to terms with the fact that he would never walk again in some cottage down the path from the temple. His father came and said all of the stories he had told the boy were lies and that he had never been sailing. Me and the boy's father walked down the path and went into the temple and talked to some of the people there.

Dream on 5/25/2010

I was in a car with a lot of people and Max douglas. An asian dude from one store over came to driver's window and said something rude that was directed towards Max. I gave him some backtalk and the whole car laughed. He came over and punched out my window, then backed up into the parking lot, took up a fighting stance and started calling me out. I called 911 but it was the office of the principal from Community and he was frolicking with some other dudes in his office. That's where the dream ended.

Dream on 5/22/2010

In the dream I was a goblin. I was with a group of two to three other goblins and we were fighting this one huge goblin. He was big and menacing. It was a fight that we knew we would lose, but we fought anyway. We threw punches that weren't our strongest, it was a punch held back by fear, fear and a premature acceptance of our own defeat. I liked being a goblin, but it just kind of sucked that I had to die.
There was another part of the dream too. We were all humans again, some random group of people I don't know. We were at a sort of halloween/farm themed park with lots of those metal slides covered by tarps. WE wanted drinks but the line was waaaaaaaaay too long. I remember lots of hay and long crowded lines the most.

Dream on 5/21/2010

I don't remember too much of this one, but it took place on some alien planet that was covered in a dense jungle. The main characters were this warrior druid and a shape-changeing cat person. They lured this crazy hydra beast out of its lair and into this little bubble city, to make sort of an arena for fighting it. But the bubble around the city broke, and the Razorback tribe (like in World of Warcraft) surrounded it with their huge thorny vines and created this spiky mayhem arena. For some reason though, they thought this was bad, but then the dream ended.

Dream on 5/17/2010

I was over in Stewart Feerick's garage. Stewart and his girlfriend were there, along with Stewart's nonexistent, bass-playing brother. He was a little pudgy, dark haired and grungy looking. We did an awesome rendition of the song "Black Water Alligator" which I'm pretty sure doesn't exist. "It was a black water aaaaaaligaatoor..." then it went "Livin' in a one night staaaand!" or "Livin' in a rock n' roll baaaaand!" or something like that....

Dream on 4/18/10

It started out with John Candy as the main "character". He tried climbing up this steep grassy hill with train tracks on top, but the grass he was holding onto broke so he fell down and everybody laughed. Eventually he made it up though, and on the other side of the tracks was this huge, sand covered valley. He and I (who was just a trailing presence) walked into the valley and then John went into a door in one of the walls. He stood in a room looking out a window, but I knew there was a dead person buried in sand behind him, and that something bad was going to happen so I stopped the dream.
The second part sort of focused on me a little more a guess. Sam and I went to this ice cream shop that was really good, but the guys behind the counter looked a little "fersnickety" if you know what I mean. The second time around I decided to buy all the flavors of ice cream for $19, so I handed them this $19 bill I had. It looked crudely drawn and like a shitty fabrication, but it was legit. The guy behind the counter was bald, had a black handlebar mustache, and was wearing a white button down with a black vest over it. He put the bill in a scanner and saw that it had a code imbedded in it for $19.00. We got the ice cream, but then for some reason we ended up having this really fast paced flying gunfight with the ice cream men. I don't remember much about why we were fighting, but I definitely remember them trying to shoot me and Sam.

Dream on 3/13/10

It looked as though it was around 1950 or so, and I was at a boarding school. It wasn't EHS, but the Woodberry game was going on. Me and a couple other guys thought it would be funny to dress up like zombies and scare some of the woodberry kids. We got on all the makeup and stuff, and we crept through the bushes. I jumped out and scared this one blonde lady who was sitting in a chair outside conversing with some friends (just like those wrought iron chairs everyone has in their back yard), but she fell over and broke her neck. She turned into the first real zombie. We ran away because we were scared of what we had just done, and then time fast-forwarded about a year. I was now in this war-torn desert town, living with an old lady and Sam. The zombies were in a big pit (that was really only a few feet away from our house) down by the river. The main difference with these zombies is that they still had emotion and capability for complex thought. They even felt bad about being zombies, but they had to eat living human tissue or else they would "die". I watched what was now called a "charity suicide". A pretty woman with blonde wavy hair walked through the crowd of zombies. She was smiling but had tears in her eyes. As she walked by, each zombie would pull a little piece off of her to eat. The dream then resumed focus on me. I was sitting at the kitchen table and I was worried. The old woman (Grandma I guess) was freaking out and ushering Sam in through the door. My "mother" was coming, and Grandma was trying to keep her from taking Sam back to the nice, big, civilized city with her. She stepped into the room I was sitting in through the front door. She was tall with short blonde hair and a gray business suit on. She was pretty I guess, but I could tell that she was all business, and had no time to be an actual mom. This is about where the dream ended.

Dream on 1/6/09

This was an extremely long and elaborate dream, and it happened some while ago, but I'll tell it as best as I can. It started off with me in some city with a group of random people that were supposedly friends of mine. After crossing the street, a cop warned me about homeless people with poisonous dice (which apparently was a big deal). He then explained that a long time ago in a Native American burial ground, some of the bodies had been contaminated, and while two of the indians tried to push the bodies off of the cliff, they accidentally pushed off their chieftain who was disguised as one of the bodies to see what they were up to. We then walked down the street and an angry homeless man threw some dice (just regular looking white dice) at me, but needless to say I was scared. We went to the burial ground and dug around in the mud to see if we could find any poisonous dice, but could not.
The second part of the dream was kind of crazy. I was alone, but then met a 30-something, lonely version of my future self who was very good at killing these zombie vampires that had become a serious threat. We ended up in a city which we believed to be filled with them and we went to one's house to kill it. It turned out to be the zombie vampire 2nd in command, so it was very smart and captured the older version of me. It put it in some sort of weird neck brace thing, tore open its head, and then proceeded to lift the brain up while keeping the spinal cord intact. It was very strange and looked very painful. I managed to escape, but the he sent his zombie dogs after me. I made it to a street which I was surprised to find busy. It turned out that all the cars on it had been coated with this liquid that repelled the zombie vampire virus. When they saw that I was human, one car stopped and let me in.
I then somehow ended up at the zombie vampire headquarters castle thing, whereupon I was captured, and the zombie vampires said that they were going to "do things to me". That's literally as specific as the dream got, which I frankly find to be much, much, much more terrifying than any detail they could have given me...

Dream on 1/9/09

I was with a group of strange, hybrid people things, and they were all getting absorbed by one of the members of our group because he had touched some strange plant or water or something. We were all very small, and were in some sort of woodland area with puddles and such. I told everyone to follow me, which they did. I led them to a large water-filled area. There was a blue, plastic piece of pipe in the middle of it that was very big. It rested on it's side in the water and was closed up at both ends. The only way in was through another smaller piece of pipe that sloped up diagonally into the larger one. It sloped upwards to keep the water out of the main pipe part. I got everyone inside the main pipe part, and then proceeded to climb the metal rungs on the outside of the large part. As I was doing so, a wave came and knocked me off as soon as I got to the top of the pipe. This turned out to be quite fun as I landed back in the water, so I climbed up the sloped pipe to tell the others about it. As I did this, another wave came and the water shot up the sloped pipe. I thought I was going to drown, but because of the slope of the pipe, the water only went up so far, and so I just climbed faster and soon enough I could breathe again. This is where the dream ended for me.

Dream on 1/3/10

It started off and I was in a tux looking at George Thorne and we were doing this dueling solo thing outside of the trolley from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, The Crystal Bearers. We were spinning around poles and snapping and doing harmonies for some song that I don't think exists but was kind of a play off of (or at least reminded me of) the Two and a Half Men theme song. The second part was when I was in the trolley, and all of the guys had to dress up like old Lilty women (like in the game) and got to pick out the outfits their dates wore, so they all chose excruciatingly skimpy outfits, and none of the dates showed up. So there we were, dressed up like old Lilty women, hanging out in this crowded (but awesome) subway car.

Dream on 12/31/09

I don't remember much of this one, but it was mostly scary. I was in this house that was very run down, but there were lots of people in it, some of whom were dead, and some who were not. The dead people were of course the scariest, but some weren't so bad. I was doing something important for this one dead girl, and I remember the feeling of being chased, or running away from something, something really scary. There was lots of peely blue paint, and smashed cabinets. I think the thing I was running from was this weird floating skull baby thing. It was way creepy, that's about all I remember.

Dream on 12/29/2009

I had a dream that I was at a skateboard shop trying to buy some nice black wheels by Zero for a short-board that I was putting together. The wheels where nice and squishy, but the clerk kept on trying to sell me some hard white ones. People were not being very helpful. After that, I ended up outside with David Glaize. He was shirtless, wearing black shorts, and had a helmet on. He had long hair too, like in a picture of him I saw in the EHS magazine. We were just sort of walking. He had his board, and I had Nico's with the red wheels. He was skating just fine, but as I attempted to skate across the street to an unknown woman in a white suit, I just sort of threw my board down and it shot forward, so I just ended up chasing it instead of riding it. I tried again and got one foot on, but only for a few seconds. The board just rocketed forwards again and I flailed past a group of schoolgirls in grey uniforms and matching hats. They looked very English. I felt very discouraged in my skating attempts, so I stopped.

Dream on 12/25/2009

It was very Spore-like. I started off working at Shenanigans, but that soon ended. Then I was making the island. The island was relatively big. It had four different armies working on it, each with their own base, and each with their own strengths and weaknesses. The army I was working for had developed a happiness ray that would convert enemy units to our side. It was night, and one of the neighboring armies attacked us. I was up the hill in the main hanger with my girlfriend (some ambiguous blonde girl), and i had my assault rifle with me. I saw the enemy troops starting to attack, so I lay down and started picking them off as they came up the front hill around this little bend in the road. They were obviously trying to destroy (or at least obtain) our new weapon and were heading towards our headquarters, but that's not where the weapon was. I saw their tanks on the beach down a ways, far from their troops, but very close to ours. I turned the ray on and shot one of those. The tanks happened to be what their specialty was, so they were extremely powerful and very versatile. I shot the biggest one and it came up over the bank and started firing on it's own men. Our troops quickly overran the smaller vehicles on the beach and then joined the tank in finishing off the enemy troops. We won the battle that day, but I would like to see if my dreams continue, and if we win the war...

Dream on 8/8/09

I was in an English classroom at EHS, and Merrill Pishke was sitting next to me in a blue dress. It was mostly other freshmen in the class, except for Gene McArthy. One of them went on about a fight between Gene and Armor Shaw where Armor had been beating up on Gene like he always does. This was interesting because I think it would be Riley Wilson in real life, but what ever. So, Mr. Ferrell was my teacher, but he left the classroom, and in walks Jim Carrey in a purple suit. He comes up to me and whips out a butterfly knife and brandishes it in my face. Everyone else gasps, but I stay calm.
“Let’s put the butterfly away,” I say to Jim.
“What butterfly? I don’t see any butterfly!” he retorts.
“The butterfly knife in your hand…” I reply. We both go out into the hall, and he gives me a fake finger with blood on the end, and proceeds to cut off his right index finger. He then takes the fake finger (which obviously is not his real finger) shoves it back onto his hand where the bleeding finger stump is and walks into Mr. Ferrell’s office to play some sort of prank. I walk back to the classroom and sit back down, covered in blood, and holding his real finger.

Dream on 8/7/2009

This was a pretty crazy one. I should have written this down earlier, but I didn’t, so sorry if it’s a little fuzzy. I was in a building, a warehouse of some sort, and I was dueling with this girl. She was pretty, and had long black hair and was dressed in a sort of school girl/ sailor outfit. She went behind these plastic curtains and behind them was just this vat of what appeared to be muscle, and a lot of wires and metal rods. She then transmuted them to make these weird muscle-y skeletons that attacked me. I managed to fend them off somehow, I don’t really remember how, but I think it involved lightning…
Anyway, so I followed her out of the building after the duel was over, and I guess this was some sort of training ground for witches or warlocks or something because it just sort of had that feel to it. I feel as though I had gotten there by jet-ski or boat, and that it was on an island surrounded by very dangerous waters.

Old Dreams

Scott Caslow was standing on a porch in with a blue UVA sweatshirt on and he was holding his lacrosse stick. Chester the Cheetah was standing in front of him in a rainbow sweater and a red beret screaming “CRAZY GOOD!!!!” really loud and doing that cartoony ‘head zoom’ thing, and Scott was just leaning against the porch column like, “what the fuck? Hahaha…”

This dream was in 2nd grade when I first moved to Italy and right after I had met Tommasso. I was walking down the alley where our apartment building was, and right next to it on the street was a real life "live action" creche scene. Tomasso's family made up most of the players, but Tommasso was just sort of there. It turned out he was a vampire and he said he was going to bite me. I begged him not to, and told him that I would give him my little red tricycle if he didn't, but he could not be turned and he simply shook his head (eyes closed) and smiled while I continued to plead with him.

Dream on 3/5/2009

So this was a two part dream. The first part was like Igor, and I was the hunchback in the Evil Science Fair of Doom or whatever it was called, and I had to pit my invention against all the others. My invention was a giant, black, metal dragon that looked like the one from the Disney version of Sleeping Beauty (you know, all black with green eyes and flames and stuff). The second part of the dream was like Toy Story, but everything was Bionicles. They figured out that life was sort of like a “game” so they tried to get out, but then they found out that life was actually like a big computer (an upside-down trash can with a hard drive on top, and some circuits and wires surrounded by a wall down below, and everything but the wires is silver) on the hardwood floor of an empty room with blue-gray walls, and that in trying to get out, they would break the computer and life as they knew it would cease.

Dream on 3/3/2009

This was one of the coolest and most vivid dreams I have had in a really, really long time. It all took place in Dawn of War II, but it had “real life” graphics. I was an Ork Commander, and my men were trying to set up this really sleek machine (that looked kind of like the arc of the covenant) that they had found on some other world that would send out this huge beam to wipe out the Space Marines. In the dream though, I was in prison, but I somehow escaped and got beyond enemy lines at the back of the Space Marine base, and I had to get to my men who were getting stomped because I wasn’t there at the front of the base. So instead of going around the huge base, I ran straight through it, killing anyone and smashing anything that was in my way, and I actually made it. I came out screaming, “LONGEST RUN IN HISTORY!!!!!” and then I killed the Space Marine Commander, and summoned more troops to aid the Boyz that were around the special machine we found, who were getting quickly overrun by Assault Marines.

Dream on 1/22/09

I was hanging out with some people by the field behind the bowl, and all of a sudden I turned around and Alex Harris was there! I asked him if he still remembered our handshake, and he said, “Dude…of course I remember.” So we did the handshake and then Brendan and a bunch of other Governor’s School kids came over to hang out. It was a party!

Dream on 1/23/09

Unfortunately I don’t remember too much of this dream. I was me, but a little younger, and I had psychic powers of some sort. I remember I was always trying to run away from these two other kids who were secret agents or something that wanted to capture me. I had an older sister that was taking me around and helping me hide and stuff. There was this one part where the group of people trying to help me got attacked by a bunch of secret agents, and I didn’t like it. I got mad, so I stopped time, and I beat the crap out of them. It was pretty cool…

Dream on 1/15/09

I went outside dorm (which apparently was Anderson) and I ran into Chelsea Jack, who was dressed like a storm-trooper and holding her helmet. We had a quick chat, and she handed me a gun, and then we joined in a friendly firefight with some other storm-troopers.

Dream on 12/27/08

I was swimming under this torch-lit dock at night, and I saw this Rastafarian ghost, and I stole his doobie and smoked it as I swam away. A girl nearby had light shoot out of her eyes and mouth and through cracks in her face and she started to chase me, angry because I stole their weed. It was really, really scary actually, I thought I was going to die. After that though, I escaped to this cabin where Caroline and Sarah were. Caroline was on the top bunk of a bunk bed, and Sarah wrapped this blanket around her and put on this really scary (but badly made) paper mache mask with a really long nose and lots of pointy teeth and that really scared me too, she looked like some kind of possessed slug or something, or even (I just had this thought) representative of a “bad trip”….like a demonic doobie….

Dream on 11/27/08

So my family was coming back from some seminar on “how to be a warrior” or something like that, and we were walking back to the car. The car was parked on the other side of this huge muddy swamp thing that was covered in really tall grass, and was full of tigers. We decided at the end to not go through the tiger infested swamp grass, so we turned around. Sam was at the back of the group and I turned around to look at him and a saw a clouded leopard slinking out of the grass, so I ran and pushed Sam away, and began punching the leopard. This was a relatively traumatizing dream because I spent the majority of it punching a large cat in the head trying to kill it. Towards the end I ended up doing a sort of “knuckle-chop” repeatedly to the area between the eyes and where the skull begins to plane out into the nose until the skull cracked open. Then I held the leopard down and mom shoved a mechanical pencil into its brain to make sure it was dead.

Topic

So this blog will be predominately about dreams. I'll be posting dreams up on a relatively regular basis, but I might throw out some other things here and there as well. I'm not doing this for followers or anything, I'm just doing it because I thought it would be fun. Feel free to comment though if you have anything to say!
