Mainly a dream about running around and not actually stopping in one place for very long. I went from school, to a building across the street from it, discovered someone who had stolen clothes and hidden them there. I think for some reason I needed to change clothes or I needed clothes because I started to pick them up and put them in my bag. The guy that had stolen them came back and I think he got mad. The police showed up soon and took him away and I slipped away unnoticed. 

On the other side of the building was a group of I guess ninja chefs. I think they were trying to get me to join them, but I decided not to and I think I started home. I went to two restaurants and got enough to eat for my family. I think there was something odd about this as well because the people in the restaurant thought it was strange that I had stopped by two of the same chain of restaurants to order food. I did have a reason and it was well thought out, but right now I don't remember what the reason was.

I went back home and this is where I discovered my mom had taken our greenhouse and was trying to sell plants from the inside. I think I was upset about this because I think a lot of my own plants were sitting outside of the greenhouse and I think I had just bought quite a few young plants (or they just appeared and I accepted that I had just bought them). I asked my mom where I was supposed to put my plants and I don't remember what her answer was, but I'm sure it wasn't very helpful.

I met some strange guy outside by the front of the house who was trying to fix his truck. I've never seen him before. Oddly enough my jeep was parked behind his truck and I wondered how he got his truck in between my jeep and my parents van. I looked at my jeep and discovered that the back bumper was missing. I questioned the guy about this and he denied any knowledge about it.

I think he turned into a hawk because I saw a hawk later that was him (you know how in dreams you just know who someone is even though they may have morphed into someone else).  He was feeding some chicks inside a pet carrier. Next to that pet carrier was another pet carrier with a sick owl inside. After feeding the chicks the hawk flew off and I was really sad for some reason.

When I wiped my eyes I saw a leopard (not a jaguar) stalking either me or the owl, he was just staring intently in my direction but I was right next to the owl. I screamed for help and someone that was working for my mom got out a shotgun and shot the leopard and it died. I walked up to the body and next to it was the body of a lioness or a young lion. I thought why did I ask him to shoot it. I regretted it, especially after seeing the lion's body. Luckily, the guy knew some magic and brought it back to life, but with a human consciousness. I'm not sure if the lion was also brought back to life.

I think there was a little more that happened after this but I woke up soon after, so the rest is a blur.

Sad dream

Last nights dreams was just kinda depressing.

Basically, somehow, the whole dream was about me spending a lot of time on vacation in this strange place that I have been before. I think it was a tropical place or somewhere by the sea. I remember visiting a museum that specialized in geology and paleontology. I think the first time I visited this museum I was more impressed, but this time around I got the feeling I was bored. Everyone I've known before was there. I can't really remember much else about this theme.

The next part of the, which was entwined within the entire thing, was me getting married to my husband again. This would be nice except for some reason he was split into two different people, twins. One twin was into technology and the other seemed to be into religion or spirituality. I spent most of the dream planning on marrying the one had I had married before. Unexpectedly, I think the one I was planning on marrying left. I don't remember if the other stayed or left the resort but I stayed.

Around the end of the dream (which was the really sad part) somehow I changed my mind to marry the other one. But the first one called me and told me he needed to speak to me, so I was like uh oh. I think he was going to plan the marriage or ask me to marry him formally. Either way, I was going to tell him when we met.

We all ended up meeting somewhere that had white patio furniture with large white umbrellas over the tables. I told him that I was going to marry the other twin and he was very upset. It was so sad. I didn't want to leave him behind because he was so familiar. I wondered what he was going to do now that things had changed. I think he even cried, but I'm not sure. I just know he was really sad.

At the end I ended up leaving with the other twin, wondering how he was going to step into the life his "brother" had left. Then I figured because they were twins, it wouldn't really matter much. (Flippant, I know, lol).

Throughout this entire dream I had a vague feeling of familiarity. I even wanted to keep both of the twins, even though (really) they were the same person. I have an idea what this dream might mean, but I'd rather not wake up feeling sad about it. Meh.

By the way that was just the summarized version, in case anyone was wondering. Which they probably weren't.

Bunches of things

I slept a lot better last night, thanks to taking a melatonin. Anyway, my dreams were a jumbled mess; but I think they were rather random anyway. Things I saw:

• cats
• kittens
• a puppy
• cleaning up after puppy
• people I know
• people I don't know
• dogs
• bell peppers
• tomatoes
• my front yard
• my house
• street
• people mediating in a circle
• some exacting revenge on me
• animal abuse (implied)
• comforting people
• some empty house or warehouse

I have no idea where I actually start remembering my dream(s) from last night. I vaguely remember being in a room that is a combination of my childhood house and my current one, well my bedroom at least. I get a puppy, but I forget who gives it to me. I remember having to sorta hide it because my mom doesn't like animals in the house. I don't name the puppy but I say "my little boy" but I find out that it's a girl dog but I don't change what I say. (lol)

I spend some time in my bedroom calling to the puppy while trying to hide it at the same time, but it mainly stays under my bed so it isn't much of a problem. Eventually the puppy makes a mess after I wake up the next day and as I am cleaning it up, I think my mom walks in.

Someone else walks in and exacts revenge on me. I don't really feel like describing it, but it ended up not working. I'm not really sure why this person did this. Emotions that ensued: surprise, anxiety, sadness, feeling of betrayal, and then stubborn indifference.

Sometime later, I think I must have heard a sound of dogs barking outside. This usually means that they are trying to get at our cats so both my husband and I rush outside to protect them. What happens is a bunch of running around and trying to find the kittens they are trying to kill. Oddly enough the kittens are grown up cats in real life, but in my dream they are all kittens and hiding in the weird places the mother cat used to put them.

This is where I see weird things like kittens running out from under plants missing tails and another cat who appears mutilated giving birth to kittens that appear dead or like shiny round toys. This was actually a female cat we used to have but something killed her. She was ripped open and in pieces (so my nephew told me).
The kitten missing its tail kinda runs around sorta like it's drunk, but as I picked it up the tail grew back.

The tomatoes and bell peppers are things I fall into. For some reason in my dream my dad is growing these vegetables where you'd normally grown flowers; in some planters next to some steps leading up to our deck.

I'm not sure what happens first, but I do see people running on the street in front of our house in the middle of the night. I end up tracking some people down who I feel are doing things I don't agree with in a building somewhere. I've never been to this building in waking life or in dreams. I think what happens is this person I used to know disappeared and so I went to find him.

I ended up in this building where these people gathered from time to time, but I got the feeling they weren't very nice for the most part. I found a group of them meditating in a room with a person I've never seen before leading the meditation. He had somewhat long, wavy blond hair wearing loose fitting white clothing. When I walked over to them I felt as if these people were gathering together in secret and in protest; they didn't agree with what they others were doing. I felt that they were nervous to see me and I walked over to them. I must have appeared to be suspicious, dangerous or both; because they shifted a lot and the leader gave them a meaningful look and got up to meet me. This is where I stop in front of him as he stood up and I patted him on the head. I dunno.

The others come back and the person whom I was looking for also appears. He is upset and I go to comfort him and he tells me he was away because he was made to help his parents all day and couldn't come back (back to what I don't remember, but I think at the time I understood). I helped him do whatever it was he was doing, I think it was putting things up in a refrigerator, or organizing some plants on a counter top. 

All in all just another set of weird dreams. I did enjoy the puppy bit, however.

Dreams about a pool, a river and a building

I'm going to try to post anyway, even though I can't really remember much of what I dreamed. In a case like this instead of posting a story, I think I'll post images of things I saw.

• a pool with green water
• a river running up the side of a mountain, with white water and rock
• some family
• some other people I know
• a catalog of things that could be ordered
• a tall white building or house with windows overlooking Mexico
• a separate river bank, one next to a river that was very easy going and beautiful

A note about the pool:
In my dream, a Japanese company owned the pool. The pool itself is just a round blue above ground one that a lot of people may have seen in people's yards. Apparently only the pool was owned, while the surrounded area was owned by someone else who was quite upset that a Japanese company had control of the pool and would only let people use it if they paid. I should also note that when I first saw this pool, it appeared to be clean and clear, but my vision was somewhat blurry. As my vision sharpened, it turned out the pool was dirty and green.

I can't really add much more due to the fact that the internet was down 'til about now, and I can't remember anything else.

Unfortunate (lengthy) first post.

So.

I am pretty sure that I had some dreams last night. Normally I have no trouble recalling what I dreamed about but this time I had some problems sleeping.

Sometimes, something will wake me up in the middle of the night and I have problems falling back to sleep. I guess it doesn't help that I am a pretty light sleeper.

For me to actually sleep, I have to:
be cold, be entirely covered up, have some sort of noise in the background, be in an entirely dark room, everything that should have been done before laying down should be done (I can NOT go to sleep unless the kitchen is cleaned for the most part, unless I'm dead tired); pillows, sheets, and blankets must be in particular spots. I guess you could say I'm a fussy sleeper.

Now the noise I had for last night had been the History channel; my husband Scott and I were watching something about Jesse James and his buried treasure and we both just fell asleep. Normally I have an audio book playing but he really wanted to see what happened with the treasure. Cute. :)

I guess after that show there was something with loud noises and high pitches and it woke me up, which was the first time, but it didn't really bother me. I just changed the channel to something I figured wouldn't bother me as much, Animal Planet, and I turned the volume down as well; at least enough to where I can hear the fan pretty well. I went right back to sleep for the most part and then some weird noise woke me up around 3:26 am.

OK, I have no idea why but this noise made me really nervous. I've had weird things happen in this house, and I've had a few weird things wake me up.

For example: (mini story incoming)

After going to sleep one night to the sounds of a rain forest CD, I woke up to a man talking in the room. I have no idea why I woke up. I remember the time was about 5 am, because I looked at the clock when my eyes opened.

At first I wasn't really bothered by hearing a man because normally, like I've mentioned before, I have an audio book playing, but usually from the computer right next to the CD player, but I did have part of an audio book in the CD player as it can hold 6 discs.

I was actually kind of annoyed because I had the rain forest CD on repeat so it would just play over and over again, but then I was hearing the man talking and I thought "ugh, something must have gone wrong and it went to the next disc, so now I'm going to have to get up and fix it". I was about to get up when I realized that the man was talking over the rain forest CD, which was still quite happily playing rain and jungle sounds at me.

I can't really remember anything that he said, all I can remember was that his voice was very gentle and calm sounding, and it sounded just like someone standing in the room talking. The last word I do remember him say was "tenderness".

He didn't talk very long, I'd say maybe 3-4 sentences at most. I didn't feel threatened or anything, just spooked. For good measure, I checked to see if the radio had been playing, or my computer magically loaded an audio book on its own. Nothing of the sort had happened.

Other examples include hearing my mothers voice call my name and I go to see what she wants and she's not even home. One time that happened and I realized this, and like less than 5 mins later my parents arrived home.

Now back to last night. Normally stuff like that doesn't really bother me. But the noise just made me very uneasy. I just felt like something was in the room, plain and simple. I'd have to say that as far as psychic and mediumistic abilities go, I'm pretty much as dense as a brick. I'm guessing that's why last night bothered me so much because for once I could feel something. I'm not easily spooked as well, and I don't think that every little noise I hear is something. After feeling that though, I tried to get my husband to come closer to me but he was being difficult so I just rolled up into a cocoon in my blankets. I kept feeling that feeling and now everything I was hearing was making me nervous so finally I got up and turned on an audio book and made sure all the lights were covered up and turned off the TV. Oddly enough, the complete darkness makes me feel secure.

I realized that because of all this I forgot whatever dreams I had been having and I even overslept. ; ; All I get to do now is write this ridiculously long post and try again tonight.

A blog for my dreams

So I have yet another blog, but not simply because I thought it would be cute to post my nocturnal gnashings for all to see, but because something told me that I should start one today. Yes. I had a feeling.

The purpose of this blog is to try to record whatever dreams I may have the night prior to writing in this blog, but I pretty much know most of it won't make any sense. Only sometimes do my dreams seem linear, or I remember enough of them for the to be written as such. I have a feeling I will be using the word 'something' quite a bit in a few entries. I just know it.

What I hope to accomplish is to find some themes, or meanings in some of my more epic fancies, especially those that seem to reoccur from time to time. I've noticed that I can remember being in a dream that I was in before many years after having it, even going so far as to know the environment, people, and events that happened, and changing them so as not to repeat something I consider to be a mistake this time around.

This all interests me, and I can't seem to find anything specific about this anywhere on the net, or maybe I'm just too lazy to enter in the right search words into Google. I tend to only browse the first page or two then give it up as a lost cause.

In any case, my primary interests are my inner workings, and finding (if any) significance to my ever expanding dreamverse. (No that is not a word, but NOW it is. Why? Because I say so.)
