Hiroshima

Saturn = restuarant downtown
Fuzzy = really wierd kid at UCSC

I was somewhere with my dad listening to a presentation. I went to the bathroom for a minute. I looked in the mirror and noticed that my hair had grown back down to about chin-length. I thought it looked nice and I was happy about it. I came out of the bathroom to point it out to my dad, and when I opened the door there was another guy waiting to use the bathroom. He was very rude to me and was asking why it took so long for me to use the bathroom. He accused me of being bulimic and said I was probably just throwing up in there. I yelled at him for being such an ass hole and told him he had no right to say that. The guy felt kind of bad.
I went up to my dad and told him what happened. My dad said I shouldn't be upset because that guy just has a lot of emotional issues. Then he told me a story about what happened to the guy. I could see the action like I was watching a movie. The guy and his dad were on a fast-moving sail boat in the middle of the ocean. The dad was trying to climb across the boat to take a swing at the guy. In doing so the dad fell off the end of the boat. I wondered if he had gotten chopped up by the motor.
I was in a third world asian country. I was helping a group of people, most of whom were children. Some planes started to fly over and the people said they were going to bomb us. We all ran inside a room and started hiding. I hid under what looked like an operating table. Once I was under there the older guy there asked if he could hide under there with me. I said of coarse and moved over. The people who had been flying to planes burst into the room yelling. They pulled us out from under the table and one by one began to find everyone else.
I was standing next to a huge Manzanita tree. The tree looked like it had been used as someone's hangout spot, most likely for smoking weed, because there were a couple lighters stuck on it. And there were other funky little things around it. I found a film-tube full of black paint and a brush, and started painting little stripes and things on the tree. I felt kind of bad about putting paint on it but was enjoying painting it.
I was at Saturn and Fuzzy was the waiter. I ordered a beer and Fuzzy reluctantly got it for me, telling me "this is the last straw". Right as he brought it to me, the restuarant said it was closing for some event and they were telling all the customers to leave. I was kind of pissed about that.

Saving Everyone

Daniel/Yahoo = friends from school
Kirsten = girl ive been seeing

I was with my mom in someone's house. There were a lot of people there. I think her new husband lived there. He was kind of a sleezy guy; I didn't approve of him and felt like he was making my mom sad. I was talking to my mom about this.
A bunch of people from school were all congregated in a forested area in a different country. They were trying to figure out whose house (party) to go to. I was looking around at all the wildlife that was there. There were little orange and grey lizards running around and a lot of bugs on the ground. I ran around quickly as opposed to walking, so i wouldn't step on anything because I didn't want bugs on my feet. There was a huge boa constricter in the tree. I tried to point it out to everyone because it was lurking around waiting to bite someone. It was hard to get everyone's attention but I finnaly did and they moved. I then realized I was in danger of the boa biting me too, so I moved.
Everyone had left and a kid drove by in his car. His car just hit something and flipped over onto it's back. I ran over to see if he was okay. He was trapped inside the car unconscious. I wolk him up and helped him get out of the car. I told him to be careful not to move too much because he might have a concussion and not to lean on or touch the broken glass. I got him out and carried him in my arms. Daniel and Yahoo drove by and asked what happened. I told them he was in a car accident but I had everything under control.
I was in a house with my sisters. There was a gigantic spider that looked like a huge tic. I was really afraid of it and thought it was super discusting. No one else seemed quite as phased by it. I was spending time with my sisters. I put mattie to bed as if she were much younger. Just as I did, Kirsten showed up with her siblings. She said that we had made this arrangement a while ago. I remembered what she was talking about and felt really stupid for forgetting.
My sisters and Kirsten's sisters were hanging out together while Kirsten and I babysat them. I left for a while and got a hamburger. I noticed as I was eating it that I was eating meat. I decided that I didn't really care. Kirsten drove up with her sisters and mine in a van. She said they were going to go somewhere and asked if I wanted to come. I felt like the person in a situation who doesn't really care as much as everyone else does, and everyone else knows that. So I said I didn't want to come and they left.

More reptiles, and a bit more baby imagery.

I Forget

uhh...something about Stanley from the office eating steak with a nickel...? nah, i lost it.

Math

Max = neighbor/friend

I dreamt about math all night.... it was everywhere.... nothing in particular happened though.... just math. I saw pictures of equations and numbers everywhere, they were surrounding Max.
I was with Theo in a woman's backyard. We were watching a family of mice that lived in her tree. I really needed to spit but I didn't want the woman to see me, so I decided to hold it in my mouth until she left.
I was in a huge stadium with Theo. We were watching something formal like a concert. Some of Theo's friends were there.

I had a math midterm yesterday.

Precursor to Halloween?

Some of my friends had turned into werewolves, so some of my other friends and i had to kill them. They told us themselves, and we thought they were joking at first, but then we realized they were serious. However, before killing them, we decided to have lunch or something. When we were done eating, i went outside, and the rest of my non-werewolf friends stayed inside. I think they were gathering supplies or something. I started mixing myths around this time because there were some wooden crosses on the lawn that i used to burn some of the werewolves. It worked, but it was working too slowly for me to take on all of them by myself (My other friends still hadn't come outside, and i was starting to get worried). Scott Hendrix was one of the werewolves, and he came at me with a two-pronged...barbecue...skewer...thing. I was able to steal it from him, and i started fighting him with it. This part was really difficult for me. I found myself easing up every time i got a good stab at him. Also, i was a bit disgusted by it, because there were some of them where i got him, and then i felt myself hitting a bone or something. That kinda made me shudder every time. Then, Scott started getting irritated because it was hurting him pretty badly, and what bugged him the most is that he thought if i stabbed him in the head it wouldn't hurt as bad as in the arms and torso like i had been doing. So, he kinda stopped fighting and gave me a free shot at his head, so i started stabbing him in the temple as hard as i could. He confirmed that this did NOT hurt at all, and that's about when i woke up.

Steve St. Handshake

I dreamed that i met Brian Stack, and i shook his hand, but he wouldn't let go. I don't really remember much else except that i told him he was my favorite character on Conan's show or something to that effect, and i only remembered about the dream when i was watching "What I Like About You" today, and Holly went to shake Vince's hand, but then that turned into them holding hands or something...

Second Thoughts

Kim = my CA (living assistant/RA/thing)
Ryan = friend from NZ

I was at my grandma's house with Theo having dinner because I was going to Thailand the next day. We had to rush to finish dinner because I had to go catch my plane.
I was inside the plane, which was really just a huge room we were all sitting in. I realized I hadn't given any thought to the fact that I was leaving, and suddenly felt really scared of being disconnected for a month.
I was now getting there in a car somehow. Kim was driving and we were talking about the trip. All I had with me was one little backpack. She told me she was the project leader for the trip, and that made me really happy.
We got to the project site and I came into the room where people were meeting. Everyone seemed really bored, and it was kind of a depressing way to arrive. Ryan was sitting at the table, and when I said hi to him, he kind of jumped and said he hadn't recognized me. There were animals everywhere. There was a sea otter sitting outside, and inside were these little birds that looked like Kiwis. I picked one up and was petting it, then one of the girls in the room said "eeeew". I looked down and saw that the bird had peed on me. I didn't really care, but was kind of embarassed.

I applied to go to Thailand next summer with the same group I went to NZ with last summer.... in case you didn't notice from my dreams.... I'm kind of having second thoughts.

Pop Culture References

I was in Theo's car and we got in a wreck on highway 17. No one was hurt, but we were sitting there forever waiting to get everything taken care of.
I was sitting in someone's house drinking a beer. The label was the Cardinal's symbol. Some really ghetto guy came up to me and asked for a sip of my beer. I gave him one and then we talked about how the Cardinals make the best beer and that's why they're gonna win the world series. Then the guy left and I was talking to Theo. "Californication" started playing and I was singing along in a harmony. Theo stopped and looked at me, listening to me sing, and said that was the most beautiful harmony he had ever heard. It made me really happy that he thought so and I smiled as I kept singing.
The dream went back to the wreck and the work crews had just finished clearing everything up so we drove away. It felt good to have the car moving again.

Objection To School Uniforms

I was with a group of people and we were on a weekend trip somewhere. Apparently, we were going to go snowboarding the next day, and I hadn't originally known that about the trip, but I was really excited because I've always wanted to try snowboarding.
I was at work with Ian and gave him my work schedual. My dad was there.
I was with my mom and sisters, but we also had a little brother and another new baby brother. We were all walking to this middle school where my mom was going to register us. We sat down at a lunch table, and met with this lady who worked there. She started talking to us about the school, and said that everyone wears uniforms. I stood up from the table and said that I morally object to uniforms. My mom and the lady tried to tell me that that's just too bad, but I said there was no way I would go to that school if I had to wear a uniform, then I ran away. I ran to this park, and my sisters started chasing after me. I turned around and hit Mattie, and she fell to the ground and I kept running. I climbed up this tower on the playground and sat up there, feeling kind of upset and stupid. My mom showed up with the baby and my little brother. I was looking down from the tower watching my little brother, whose name was apparently Acton, sitting in the sand. I really didn't want him to hate me, and realized that he probably thought I was really mean and crazy after the way I had been acting. I was trying to act nice, and was making faces at him from the tower and telling him I loved him. My mom climbed up the tower to talk to me. I was really glad she was coming up there because I really wanted to talk. But when she got up there she just started scolding me for how I had acted, and I was really sad because that's not what I wanted to hear.

I think it's really wierd that I keep dreaming about babies, I don't know what that is. I also finnaly got that job I keep having dreams about.

Reptile Rumble

I had tons of different kinds of reptiles that I was trying to set up aquariums for. There were bearded dragons, tortoises, and various lizards all over the place. At first it was going well and each animal was getting neatly placed in a spacious cage. After a while though the animals started getting wrestless and were crawling all over the place and it was really hectic. Eventually I was just trying to grab as many of them as I could and put them somewhere where they wouldn't crawl away. As I was grabbing animals, there were bugs and a lot of brightly colored plastic things that started to appear and got mixed in there. Little pins from the animals and plastic things were getting stuck in my fingers. I eventually gave up. When I came back later there were a bunch of kids around and my mom said that they had taken the extra animals and put them into the photo albums. I looked in the closet and saw that there were numerous photo albums. It kind of bothered me that it turned out that way, but I didn't want to go through trying to organize the animals again so I decided to just let it go.
I was interviewing for the maitenance job. The boss was this lady wearing safari gear. For part of the interview she took me out into the forest to see the cottage that she worked at. When we got there, we went inside the kitchen and I noticed she had a really wierd clock on the wall. It looked like a Dali clock and the minute and hour hands were turning as fast as the second hands. Each time they went around, the hands would dip into a pot of honey that was under the clock, and as they came back up the honey would get pulled and kind of melt and drip everywhere.

Christmas in...October?

My nephew was hanging out at my house for the day, and it was time for him to leave, so he was getting a ride home with his friend. The friend's dad was really intimidating and scary (played by Christopher Plummer). However, before he left, my nephew wanted to get a Christmas tree because he had an ornament that he was really anxious to use. We walked up to the dirt lot at the top of my street, and, strangely enough, they were selling Christmas trees. Most of them were really crappy looking Charlie Brown trees. We were asking the people about the prices, and they were (apparently joking around) saying they were like $1000, and then they talked about an insurance plan that was another $400 or something. The friend's dad yelled at my nephew and said, "just pay them!" Ivan was sad, and he told them to just pick one for him. I was happy because they picked the one that i liked the best. They said it was $21 and change, so i paid for it with a 20 and a 2 (and it looked like i had about a zillion singles in my wallet). I got the change and put the tree in the back of the friend's car. My nephew decided that he wanted to sit with the tree in the back. I thought this was a really dumb idea, but i thought it would be funny if he broke it and had to tie it back together in true Charlie Brown fashion (now that i think about it, i think i'm mixing my Christmas movies). I woke up as they were driving away and i was saying goodbye.

Well, At Least Its Broccoli

I was in a dorm with a bunch of first years. The dorm looked exactly like my dad's house... but they were building a floor between either wall, that was in between the ceiling and the floor. In order to do this, they had taken the rails off of the staircase. I was with Theo, and as we approached the stairs I mentioned to him that I used to have nightmares about being on staircases with no railings, and how creepy it is that it's happening in real life. I crept across the stairs staying really close to the wall, and yelled to the other people around that they really shouldn't fuck around on these stairs. Just as I finished saying that, a guy sprinted across the stairs and his friend chased him. I figured it was a lost cause.
I was still at my dad's house, and was watching a family that was staying in our house as tenants. They were in the kitchen encouraging their grandma to eat some dinner. I noticed she had broccoli on her plate, and praised the family for choosing to give her broccoli. They said that it was actually a special kind of broccoli that the grandma insisted on having, and it wasn't as nutritious as normal broccoli. I said, "well, at least its broccoli".
I was in a room at my dad's house and was working on some homework. Another guy that I had met earlier, and who i found attractive came into the room to do some work. I sat there and made small talk with him for a while, and then left so he could work.

I really did used to have nightmares about staircases with no railings.

New Babies

Erin and I were going to go surfing the next day. We happened to be walking by Cowell's with our boards so I decided to try anyway. Mike was already there surfing. It was basically flat so I didn't catch any waves.
It was nighttime and Mike and I were sneaking into this YHA to look for a special wetsuit-dryer that they had. We found what we were looking for, and some employees walked by. I was scared they would kick us out, but they had no idea we weren't actually staying there, so they just showed us how to use it and were really nice.
I was on my trip in Thailand. Theo and I had been hanging out, and I decided I should get back to my group. I left for a little while and told him I would be back later. When I came back, my leaders explained to me that we were doing some kind of activity that involved having a group sleepover with some of the Thai students. One of Theo's friends was in the room, and said he would go back and tell Theo I wouldn't be coming over later. I got kind of freaked out and told him not to do that, and started working out in my head a way I could get around that.
My mom was pregnant with four kids. My whole family was in a room to meet the kids, and I was sitting with two of the babies, a girl and a boy. Somehow they could communicate with me even though they were supposed to be infants. I had a dictionary with me, and the girl told me she knew what one of the words meant. I indulged her by asking what it meant, and of corse she didn't know. Eventually they started falling asleep and i wanted to hold both of them while they slept. I picked up the girl and put her in my arm, but I couldn't pick up the boy while holding the girl. I asked my mom for help. She came over and picked up the boy and noticed that he was cold. Then she said I couldn't have them sleep by me because she wanted to have them by her when she slept because they were her babies. As my mom picked up the girl and took her, I wondered if she had had these children with her boyfriend or my dad. In the dream, I felt like if it was with her boyfriend then it would be cheating on my dad.

Hooray for Toothpicks

I was at the beach with my sisters. The water was really blue like we were somewhere tropical. I walked down the shore for a while looking for a spot for us. The beach was divided up into sections by little cement walls for individual groups. I picked one out, but then my sisters called to me to come to the one they had found. It was a very nice spot, and I was glad I was with them because they obviously knew what they were doing. There was also a little cement wall between the shoreline and the ocean, and the water came right up to it and was very deep. I asked them if it was deep enough to jump in and they said it was, so I did and started swimming. As I was swimming my body felt very heavy and I was having trouble breathing. I started to get really fatigued and turned around to get out of the water. I decided I was dehydrated.
Me, my sisters, and my dad were trying to go to Saturn Cafe. We walked inside and they said they were closed until two in the afternoon on saturdays... this made me sad. I asked if I could have a toothpick to get out the food in my teeth. The guy thought for a minute and told me no. I pointed out that there was a giant basket of them right behind his head. He still said no, and that really pissed me off because I felt like he was just being an ass hole and there was no reason he shouldn't give me a toothpick. He had already had one in his mouth the whole time, so he offered to take me to the bathroom and he would use his toothpick to get the food out of my teeth. I told him that was wierd and discusting and it would make more sense for him to just give me one. He still refused, so we left the restuarant. As we were leaving I thought that it sucked I was fighting with all the employees because now I could never get a job there.
Me, my dad, and my sisters walked to Mimi's Cafe and went there instead. As we were being led to our table, Mattie stopped in the middle of the staircase and started singing. Everyone at the tables around her could hear her, and her singing wasn't bad or anything, but it did upset me that she was being at attention whore and people didn't mind that. I ushered her up the stairs. The waitress sat us at our table and we were the only people on the floor. Mattie ordered two deserts, and when they got to her table she mixed them together. At first I thought it was gross that she was getting two deserts, but her mixing idea worked very well. I left our table and sat at the one next to it, which was by the window. Just as I did that, the waitress brought up another customer from downstairs and told her to pick a table. The lady picked the exact spot I was sitting in. I thought that was rather rude of her since she could have had anyone and picking this one would displace me. But I moved for her.

I Wish I had cooler dreams

There was a guy sitting in front of a fire playing guitar.
Something about running around campus at night.
Spiders fighting with each other, me closing my blinds, and trying not to fall asleep.

... been too stressed/tired to have coherant dreams

Bowling For Justins

I had planned a bowling night with some friends, and i was waiting for people to meet at my house (which was not actually my house, but some random apartment looking place). Adam Plost was the first to arrive. The whole time he was there, i kept checking my email hoping to get some confirmation from Justin that he would be coming. We engaged in some idle conversation like the mere fact that he was now married. Lucas, Art, and Greg all arrived at about the same time, but not in the same car. They came up to my "apartment," and we continued to wait. Somebody wanted to take a shower, which seemed to be in the kitchen. I believe there was a girl there, and it may have been Heather Petty. Justin was never seen or heard from.

A Marquis Event

I was on my way home from somewhere, and i decided to stop at the Marquis' house on the way home for some reason. I started walking up to the house, but then i decided not to, and i was hungry, so i turned around to get in my car and drive home. Before i got to my car, Lindsay got out of the house and saw me. After she stopped me, Brad came out as well, and then a bunch of kids from the neighborhood came out, and Brad suggested we play a game. When asked what game to play, he said, "Super Dodge Ball." Now, i couldn't resist. I had to play. It was an interesting form of Dodge Ball that involved many teams of two. Every big kid (like me) was paired up with a little kid (like my niece). If you were out, the only way to get back in was if your partner caught a ball thrown by someone else. At one point, my niece and i had both gotten out, and i was still really hungry, so i decided to run home and get something to eat really fast, and then run back. When i got home, the first thing i did was go to the bathroom. It was strange because the toilet was in the middle of the hallway for some reason, but i didn't think this was odd at the time. The only thing that bothered me was that there was an open door leading outside behind me. I peed for like 2 minutes, and then i looked around for something to eat. I couldn't find anything, and i was getting frustrated. My mom got home (she had been over at the Marquis' too), so i asked her what was going on over there and if they were still playing. She told me they were having a huge pillow fight. I still couldn't find anything to eat.

I was in some small town's downtown area. I was walking around with a gang of ruffians (like, a tough guy gang from the 40's), and we saw a sign on a door across the street that said something like, "Toy rings: $.75, Diamond Rings; $1.25." We decided to investigate, so we started to cross the street, and as we got closer, we could see more writing lower down that said, "$2,775 to enter." I thought this was a genius idea because it kept little kids from going into a jewelry store. Somehow, I ended up in a store after closing time that Paul Marquis was in charge of. I believe Brad was there with me as well. However, it could have been Zachary Burkett. It was time to leave, and i went out to where my sandals were, but there was only one. There were three OTHER sandals around, but they weren't mine. I was mad, and i said, "why is there only one of mine, and 3 of yours???" Then, i looked down, and i realized he was already wearing shoes. Now i was even more confused. Paul told us to hit the repeat button on the dvd player before we left, so i went over to do it, but i was still distracted by my sandal situation, so i couldn't concentrate. I don't think i ever found the repeat button.

I was watching part a movie that i thought was Lord of the Rings part 4. Orlando Bloom was riding a horse, and then it zoomed out to a bunch of horses riding on a picturesque green hillside.

Heaven? ...or Hell?

I was at another Junior High all-nighter, but all the students there were girls. We were doing some sort of game involving dropping candy and having the girls scramble for it. Ryan Christian and i were in charge of dropping the Reese's Pieces in the middle. After the (GIGANTIC) bag was opened, i noticed there was a last bit that was about to fall out on Ryan's side, so i dove underneath it to catch it in my mouth. I quickly found myself in the middle of the scramble, and i couldn't move. Ryan and i were trapped with our heads connected at the temples. After a while, i decided it was time to try and get out of the mess, but when i looked up, there was no one around except Ryan. I was a little embarrassed, but i didn't let it bother me too long. The next day, i found some TERRIBLE burns on my face, and i decided they were rug burns from that game. I had planned on taking a walk on the beach that day, but with the burns on my face, i didn't think it was a good idea.

Slim Pickens

I had some kind of office job, and i met a new guy there who looked like a marine. He had a really nice car, like a 2006 BMW or something, and he let me borrow it for some reason. Some random chick (not hot) got in as soon as i did, and she was having some problems, so i was gonna give her a ride home. Instead, i drove the car to the beach and hung out with some people for awhile. I had a bunch of stuff in my hands (like some crappy DVDs), so i decided to go check on the car, and put the stuff in it. I was a bit worried because it seemed like a bad neighborhood, and i couldn't remember locking the car. Sure enough, when i got to the parking garage, the car was gone. I started to panic because i was responsible for that guy's car, and i had no idea how i was ever going to pay him back for it. I also wondered how i was going to get home, because i was about 45 miles from my house. I thought about calling the police, and i tried to think of what i would tell them, but i realized that i didn't even know the owner of the car's name. Also, i'm terrible with cars, so i wouldn't even be able to tell them what kind of car it was. I decided this had to be a dream, so i started to try and wake myself up. When i realized i was indeed waking up, i thought, "no! go back! go lucid!" I tried to get back in the dream to start flying around, but i couldn't see anything. I wasn't able to fly, but i was able to jump off of two walls facing each other to get really high, but then the dream just faded. I faded back into the dream, and i had forgotten about trying to fly, but i still had a slight sense that i was, in fact, dreaming. Somebody was talking to me about the car, and it sounded like there were some bad people that were after it. He also mentioned a rocket. I was relieved to see the car back in the parking garage, but there were two people inside it, and another near it. I didn't know what to do, but i suddenly found myself riding a rocket out of the parking garage, and i was going to follow the railroad tracks all the way home. I found it difficult to steer, especially to gain altitude, and the craft was pretty slow for a rocket, but i still felt that i had enough fuel to get home as long as i could keep the thing in the air. I had to dodge a couple trains as well as some kids playing on the tracks. I started to get the hang of controlling the rocket, but to no avail. I got knocked off the rocket while i was trying to fly through some sort of Christian Children Center. It seemed to be a place were abused or under-privileged children could go to get help. I was being shown around the place, and i woke up while i was inside.

Seashells for Shayna

I looked at the rest of the seashells I had brought back from New Zealand. I realized that there were only one or two left and that I wouldn't have enough to give to Shayna.

... I brought back seashells from NZ and wanted to give some of them to Shayna.

Saxaphone

Max = friend, next-door neighbor
Anna = friend, next-door neighbor from last year
Erin = friend

I was at a a show, but it was a very small setting, like at a town hall or something. A little girl's mom asked if anyone in the room could play the saxaphone. She said that if anyone could play a song, they could take care of her daughter for a little while. Even though I couldn't play the saxaphone, I raised my hand. A lot of people had raised their hands but she picked me. Someone passed me the saxaphone, and I put it to my lips and concentrated on what I was doing, and played a few notes. I was impressed with myself for even making a note, and improvised a tune. After a few more notes someone ripped the saxaphone out of my hand and started playing. Max and Anna were sitting next to me, and were confused as to how I pulled that off. Then the mom said I had won, and her daughter ran over to me and sat in my lap. She had blonde hair and when I asked her how old she was she said four. We sat and watched the rest of the show and were getting along very well.
I was in my bedroom with Erin studying. My studying involved looking at a map of Africa and drawing lines on all the rivers that led to the ocean. Theo called me and asked if we were going surfing. I got mad at him and asked him why the hell he thinks we would be going surfing. He was kind of taken aback by my response, but then he decided it was a stupid question to ask.
Theo was in my room (but he didn't look like Theo at all) and there were two other guys in there. Theo and I had been bickering and suddenly he just stopped and turned to the guys and said, look, here's proof that she hates me... I sat there bashfully and tried to object but he kept going. He started listing reasons why I hate him.
