Threesome in the Name of Conan O'Brien


Night of: December 30th
People Involved: Chris C. (coworker), Katharine McPhee (second place American Idol), Conan O'Brien
Number of Dreams Remembered: 3
Length of Sleep: 10 hours


There was some sort of competition, where a ton of people were paired up and had to eliminate the other person. It was intense because there were people everywhere, and I didn't know what my "partner" looked like. I came across a girl and somehow knew she was the one I was to eliminate. My objective was to stab her. When I was close enough to her, I pretended like I didn't want to do it, got her close, and stabbed her about 20 times. It didn't really look like she was bleeding, and I was wondering how she was still alive.
-----
I had a huge party at my old house. People started taking over my room, and that really pissed me off. There were about 20 people in my room, so I went in, and said everyone needed to get out. Apparently there was a guy in there that was kinda like "Party Security," and he was like, "You can't do that." I said, "It's MY room! Look... here's a picture of me." He studied it, and I noticed Kyle was cut off in the picture. I said, "See that person over there on the edge of the picture, he's allowed in, too." Party security man said, "I can't see who that is."
He started kicking everyone out, and I noticed a hot girl was leaving. I told her, "Stay here." She looked like Katharine McFee, but apparently she was an ex girlfriend or something, because we had a past relationship. I saw another girl and tried to keep her in the room, too. She was very attractive as well. I made out with one of them, but I don't remember which.
With all the chaos, the girls kinda disappeared, but I found one in the bathroom. The other came in and started flirting with me... she made it clear that a threesome was going to happen. More chaos and confusion... and the girls disappeared again. I found Chris C. and told him that he needs to find the girls and bring them back because it would be an orgy.

In Retrospect: This totally had something to do with Kyle's cookie tin: "All I Want For Christmas (Is a Threesome)." Maybe the other dream has something to do with "Killing in the Name."
-----
I was sitting at a table and Conan O'Brien was talking at the head of it, standing up. It didn't look like him, though... close, but not him. The people at the table had a list of what guys they would do if they had to, and one of mine was "the real" Conan O'Brien--the one that actually looked like him.

In Retrospect: That one is confusing.

Topless Neighbor

I went outside for a little while and was hanging around my block with no shirt on. I decided I just didn't really care enough to put on one, and I didn't care if it bothered anyone else. Later on one of my neighbors came by and told me that he had seen me without my shirt. He never got mad at me for it, just kept talking about how shocked he was and that he had to do a double take and was really surprised. I apologized for it.
I was in New Zealand and we had just arrived at our first destination after our work project. Everyone was getting settled in the place we were staying, which looked like a huge house. I was looking out the window at this vast expanse of marshland. I saw my work project leader out there in special shoes so she could walk around. It looked very mushy and interesting, and I wanted to go out there. Everyone else had unloaded their stuff by now, so I went down to get mine. I couldn't find my bag anywhere. I was really bummed because now the only thing I had for the next two weeks were the clothes on my back. I got over it, and rummaged through this lost-and-found kinda box looking for anything that might be mine. I saw some shorts that looked like they might be, but they were a little different and I decided that I shouldn't take them. I also saw a cowgirl outfit. I gave up the search. One of our leaders was talking to us about how all these extra clothes were going to be auctioned, and that the really priceless item was the cowgirl outfit. I wanted to say that I had seen that in there, but I thought maybe it would be best to keep its location a secret.
Later on we were all hiking through a hilly forest area. I was climbing up the side of a dirt hill with my bare hands, scrambling up it like a monkey. I realized I was just wearing a tank-top and pants, and that I should have brought a jacket.

Can You Take Me Jon-oooooooooo

I believe i was at Jon-o's house. There were a few of us in what seemed to be his backyard, and we were climbing a tree and talking about stuff. I can't remember what we were talking about, but i think it was very late at night/early in the morning. When it was time for me to leave, i realized that i had bird poop on both knees of my pants. I was bummed.

Stretching

I was with Shayna and we were hiking through these strange bushes along a street somewhere. It was sunny out and the light was reflecting off of these really long, sleek blades of grass. There was a field next to us. It kind of looked like the path off bay street in Santa Cruz. I was very happy and was having fun with Shayna.
I was running somewhere in Santa Cruz with a group. I think I was in trouble for being disobediant. I was stretching with this really hot black girl. For one of the stretches she had to lay down on top of me. I was really attracted to her, and just from having someone laying on top of me I almost instinctively put my arms around her. Then I realized that would really give the wrong impression. Then I thought about how wierd it is that people have to decide when something is sexual.

The SLO Bus

Eric = kid from high school
Max = neighbor at ucsc

I was staying in an apartment somewhere in New Zealand. The furniture was all brown and the walls were made of wood, it was very seventies. Eric was there and said that he wasn't looking forward to the flight home. I asked why and he said it was going to be 19 hours long. There wasn't much to do there and everyone was just running around this big apartment trying to occupy theymselves. Max was there and I wished he weren't.
I was now at Cal Poly SLO. I left the aparment I was staying in for a minute and when I tried to find my way back I couldn't. I hithced a ride with these random guys and we were driving down a hill toward the base of campus. There were a bunch of really shady guys standing around on the road. When they stopped the car all the shady guys would look at me and some of them would walk up to the car and harass me. One of the guys in the car with me offered to come sit back there with me. I told him no thanks, that I was fine. He insisted upon it, and I told him that I really didn't trust him and that I would rather be back here by myself. We kept driving and when we got to the end of the road I asked them to let me out of the car. I asked them for directions back up to the campus. They told me to just walk down this street and make a right at the street beggining with the letter "S". I asked if they were sure they didn't mean take a left, they said no it was definetly right. I thanked them, and as they were driving away I thought that about it, and if I made a right I was almost positive it would take me even farther from the campus. I wondered if the guys where telling me the wrong directions on purpose. I decided maybe it would be best to take the bus, considering the shady people that were hanging around. So I ran to catch up to a bus stop. When I got there I tried to look at the scheduals but they were built very high up and were very complicated. The bus pulled up and I asked the driver if the bus went to the top of campus. She said it did. The floor of the bus was at about cheast-level, so I had to climb on to it. As I did so I heard some of the people on the bus laughing at me and say something like "she could have just used the stairs". I figured there must have been stairs on the door that I didn't see. I asked how much the faire is, and after thinking a little while, the driver and what must have been her student assistant said 5 dollars. I said bullshit, there's no way it could cost that much, and gave them two dollars, which was still too much. I still didn't remember where my apartment was, but I got off the bus in an area that looked familiar and started walking.

Going To The Store

Austin = Jared's Friend (Jared = ex-boyfriend)
Ian = my boss

I was driving around and going by a lot of different bands playing in random places. There was a band set up on a street corner, playing as we drove by.
I was driving Justin and Brian somewhere. I was driving a white SUV and they were both sitting in the back seats. I pulled into a parking lot and started backing into a space. When I turned around I saw that there was already a car in that space and I had to slam on my breaks so as not to hit it. I looked at Justin and Brian who had been watching the whole thing happen, and asked them why they didn't tell me about the car. They responded with some excuse. There were no other parking spots, so I ended up parking in a handicap space, but at that point I didn't really care. When we parked there was an old guy getting into his car a couple spaces down the way. He asked me if I knew where to find a particular show he was going to go to. I told him about the band I had seen on the street corner a few minutes ago.
We went into the supermarket and all went in different directions. I wandered into a room and saw Austin there. I was really excited to see him after all these years and asked how he was doing. We talked for a while. I felt this really overwhelming attraction to him for some reason, and by the time I was about to leave I had an overwhelming urge to kiss him. So I did and left. I found Justin and Brian again and we all left the store.
I was helping decorate this room for christmas. It was apparent that the other people there didn't really need my help. I wanted to help them so I put up a couple things and then left.
I was with Ian and was in trouble with the law.

And He's Back... But Not For Long

Night of: December 22nd
People Involved: Carley, a VP of HT, Rusty (a DC Supervisor at HT)
Number of Dreams Remembered: 2-?
Length of Sleep: 6 hours

Carley was driving home, and I was in her passenger seat. She started scratching the back of my head, which felt really good. I was now somehow driving, so I drove to her house to drop her home, although I ended up parked in a commercial building's lot. She laid down across to my seat, so her head was in my lap. I scratched her head and/or back, and then she said she should go. She climbed out over me through the driver's side, and I was bummed.
-----
I got the bridge of my nose pierced 2 times, with a barbell going through. The piercing guy put cotton balls on either side. I apparently went to bed, because the next morning, I noticed that the cotton balls had fallen off, and the barbells were missing. I was pissed, because I figured that the piercing probably closed up.
I came to work at 9:50 (instead of the usual 8-8:30), and could feel the tension of everyone knowing I was late.
There was also something about one of the VPs looking pissed off at me, a weird maze thing, and I remember one of the Distribution Center supervisors talking to me.

In Retrospect: I remembered a lot more about all of these dreams when I woke up 3.5 hours ago. Now it's blurry.

Tattoos

Sam = my sister
Mango = my guinea pig

I was in a greenhouse with my mom and sam. We were wedged in between different aisles with potted flowers on them. There were bees in front of me and I was afraid they were going to sting me. I sat down and layed my head down in my arms to hide my face. I could feel a wasp land on my eye. Right when I was about to ask my mom to swat it away it flew away.
I was in my room about to take a bath. I noticed there was a tattoo on my left arm, I thought that was wierd because I didn't remember getting one. When I looked in the mirror I noticed 5 or 6 more in various places on my body. But when I looked closer I saw that some of them were paint. I dumped water on myself to get the paint off, then looked in the mirror again. I figured that whatever was left must be real tattoos, but some of them were just paint was still stuck on me. I called Theo and told him about my tattoos.
I had a baby white guinea pig and I was going to keep it as a pet. I wanted it to live in the same cage as Mango. When I put them in the same cage, Mango didn't seem to care but the baby just sat in the corner trembling. I took it back out and put it on my shoulder as I continued to look at my tattoos.
I was in New Zealand. Me and the rest of my group were ascending a mountain covered in ice. The ice was melting and it was very dangerous. People kept slipping and falling into crevices. I slid all the way down to the bottom of a hill and got inside a car with two other girls. The driver was considering weather or not to wait for everyone else. I was thinking that we should really wait. A rescue team came to get us. They were handing out plastic bags and things to use to save people. They had a really cute dog with them that looked like a dalmation except with brown spots. It smiled like a person. Like it had a normal dog face, but then when it smiled it had a strangely human quality to it, like a cartoon. I showed this to everyone and they thought it was very cute.
Something about a guy jumping out of a plane into a river, while attached to a cable. I was flying in the plane.

Back To School

I think it was February. I was staying in some random apartment with some random people. It was mostly college students, and i was one of them. I got worried when i found out that two of my roommates had already registered their classes for next semester. I thought, "How did they register before me? I'm supposed to have priority registration. Did i miss it?" They started talking about this weird priority registration that we all had, and then i remembered that i had already graduated, so i didn't care about priority registration. I guess i was just taking a couple classes that semester for fun. I was having trouble with my internet, and i kept having to restart my computer. I believe Jill started making fun of me for this. A little later, Anastasia came out, and we were talking a little bit, and she said something like "I want us to hang out more," and i enthusiastically agreed. She had to goto work because it was 6 AM, but i didn't have to get up for another hour and a half, so i set my alarm and tried to go back to sleep. Apparently, i lived on the couch, and a bunch of people were walking around the living room, so it was hard to sleep. A couple naked girls walked by. That's about all i remember.

Yo-Sushi

I was in a food court at what must have been a yo-yo contest because there was nothing but yo-yo people around. I was hungry, so i needed to buy some food. For some reason, i was gonna buy sushi, but i wanted to ask about it because i had never had it before, so i had no idea what to get. I asked about one thing i saw, and they said i couldn't buy that because they didn't have any left, so i said i was gonna eat the one that they had left, and they said sure. I believe i was talking to Jason Lee, but then he left. The only people that remained at the sushi place were guys who didn't speak english, so i wanted to go find Jason so i could ask him more questions before buying something. I lost him in a sea of people, and then i decided the one thing i ate was enough, and that i was no longer hungry. I felt kinda bad that i had satisfied myself with their product without actually BUYING anything, but i got over it. I heard someone call my name, so i turned around to see Matt Schonert with his pants down. He excused himself, and i don't remember much after that. Someone said something about giving Mr. Feeny a ride.

Study Session

Carissa = one of my roomates this year

It was finals week at school, and Carissa and I were going to study for our math final. Her and I were getting really confused, so I called Theo to ask him for help. He reluctantly agreed after i begged him for a while. We all met in the science library and wasted an hour doing absolutely nothing, part of this time consisted of trying to find a table where the three of us could work cooperatively without bothering anyone with the noise. I was wandering around and found a claw machine filled with stuffed animals. I figured out how to reach my arm in and pull on the claw so it would drop a toy. I got two giant elmos and cookie monster out of it. I brought them back to the table and gave the giant elmos to Theo, and gave Carissa the Cookie Monster. Somehow we ended up in a grocery store, and I kept accumulating cans of beer on the desk we were working at. I was thinking about stealing them, but then I got scared and tried to discard the evidence. The store was closing and all the lights were off.
I had gotten a job in a little place in a very empty-looking urban area. I got there just as the sun was rising. I went inside and the room was just black with nothing in it, I wondered what this business does.
I was in the bathroom with Erin at my house and Erin was putting makeup on me. I remember thinking that she put on a lot of it, but I kind of liked how it looked. Erin leaned over the counter and I accidentally moved something that cut her head. The cut wasn't very deep but it went all the way across her forehead. I felt really bad. A girl walked by the door and Erin said that she was my new roomate and that she was a lesbian. I was pretty excited about this, and I asked if she was hot. Erin said she was okay. The girl walked by the door again and I got her attention and introduced myself as her roomate.

Cocaine, Acid, and Pool Parties

Carly Christenson = girl I went to high school with
Paul = was in my elementary school classes, some high school
Pedro = Brazilian kid from my New Zealand trip
Andy = one of Theo's roomates
Taneen = ex-girlfriend
Diana Regal = elementary school rival (I hated her guts)
Theo = ex-boyfriend, good friend

I was planning a trip to Brazil with ISV. There had been many months of preparation, and me and a few other people were leaving from Santa Cruz tonight. I was throwing all of my things together very quickly and felt disorganized. I had bought cocaine recently, and me and one of the guys I was going with were combining our stashes into one bag, and were going to take it on the airplane with us. As I was putting all of it into one ziplock bag, I told the guy I didn't want it and that he could just take it all. I figured that it really wasn't worth trying to sneak it on the plane, but I didn't want to tell him that because he might get scared about it. He happily agreed and took all the coke. I felt relieved, and went to finish packing my things.
One of the guys had agreed to give me a ride to the airport with him. I was getting more and more second thoughts by the minute, and finnaly just decided I didn't want to go. I got on the bus to go downtown instead. While I was waiting for the bus I started talking to a girl, Carly Christenson, who was saying she had to take a special bus to get to a certain off-campus housing development. I couldn't figure out what she was talking about, but after a while of her explaining it to me I finnaly understood where she was going.
When I got on the bus, it was kind of like being in zero gravity, or at least half-gravity. The bus was very jerky, and I had such a big bag with me that every bump we went over would put me way off balance. At one point I started to fall off of my chair, but kind of started to float around. The guy who had been sitting next to me, who was actually Paul, took my hand and guided me back into my seat. I was greatful to him for that.
When I got downtown I ran into Pedro. I told him all about the trip I had been planning and how I backed out. He was bummed for me but said I should just come stay with him in Brazil some time. I told him that would be great and that I would love to.
Somehow all of a sudden I was on acid. I told Pedro I was on acid, and he said that it was going to be very crazy. The things he was talking about were kind of stressing me out, so I said goodbye to him and found Theo. I told Theo all about the plans I had made with Pedro. One of the effects of the acid was that everything I heard in my surroundings was amplified in my head, and I could hear a lot of voices in my head talking to me. I thought it was kind of cool. I also felt very good physically. Theo and I walked over river street to neary lagoon. There was a beautiful forest there, and there were lots of people walking around, Andy was there. I found a little tunnel made of trees that looked absolutely beautiful. I showed it to Theo, and then started to crawl through it on my hands and knees.
I had come back up to campus with my mom and we were on a cliffside admiring the ocean. She asked which college was closest to the beach, I told her that none of them were close to the beach, but I guess the closest would be Porter. Then I had to leave for an event. I walked up a path with Taneen. We arrived at a pool party and were all swimming. Diana Regal was there and she slipped on the wet tile and slid into a pole. I said something to the effect of, "well at least you didn't fall in the pool". Halfway through the pool party I changed from my bathing suit into this blue one-piece. I thought to myself that this bathing suit must be infinitely less-attractive than the other one, and then tried to forget that thought. This whole thing was somehow related to one of my classes or school, so at the end of it, a lady rounded us up and was talking to us about the succesfull quarter. As she was talking and going over a few key points, the water in the pool started to drain. I pointed this out to her, and she said she didn't know why that was happening and kept talking.

Chickens Can't Fly

I was somewhere that looked like San Clemente High School with a couple of friends, and there was this really strange bird that was flying over our heads. It looked like something out of a video game. Then, the bird decided it was going to swoop down on us. We all ducked behind a short wall to avoid it. It started doing this back and forth, and i decided it would be fun to play chicken with it, so i waited until the last possible moment to duck out of its way (I also did this in order to get a better look at it). I did this about 3 or 4 times before i ducked too late, and it hit me in the neck. I could feel it, and it woke me up.

I was at church, but it was really weird. Most of the chairs were gone, and i was sitting on the top of a very tall ladder. I finally got down, and i went to sit with my mom. She was surrounded by old ladies, but there was one vacant seat next to her. However, they were all having some sort of vegetable eating party, and the vacant chair had a plate with food on it and stuff. I was working on removing all the food on and around the chair, so i could step over it and sit down. Once i was just about done, the lady sitting next to it squirted some hummus or something on to it. I was pretty pissed as she seemed to be completely oblivious to what i was trying to do, so i stormed outside right away (this was a bit odd because when i went outside, it looked a lot more like the Community Center where our church USED to meet like 7 years ago). After going outside, i decided i would go sit in the sound room, so i went upstairs, and this room looked nothing like either church building. Also, while i was up there, i realized that i was supposed to work that sunday, and now i was late.

The Broken Surfboard Cult

I had started a new quarter at Santa Cruz and was getting confused about my schedual. I would go to a class and then be uncertain as to weather I should be there or not. I would also forget to sign my name in on the roll sheets. I was taking a math class and a spanish class and something else. The spanish class was very difficult and I was unable to recognize anything they were teaching me.
I went back to my house and was taking a bath while talking to Theo. I was telling him how hard everything was and what had been going on with school. He encouraged me to keep trying because it is important.
I was trying to drive home to Orange County for break. I wanted to take my own car this time. But I wasn't so sure on how to get there after I got on highway 17. I stopped and talked to the guy who had taken me down there for thanksgiving. He tried to explain which way I should go but I was still confused. I asked if I could just follow him, and he said he would be stopping in Capitola for dinner and that I was welcome to join them but it might take a couple hours. I thought about it and decided I didn't want to wait so I would just try to figure it out. I asked the guy to wait around for a second because I was gonna go pee in the forest next to the parking lot, and it was kind of dark in there so I wanted him to just make sure I didn't die or something.
As I was walking toward the forest there was a bright light that flashed through the trees and a group of people came running out. I said "what the hell was that", and turned around to see the guy I had been talking to running away. These people started to advance on me. Most of them were carrying sticks and broken surfboards. One girl came at me trying to stab me with the stick, I grabbed it, broke half of it out of her hand, and gave her a good whack across the face. The people were all dressed strangely, like the lost boys or something, and acted somewhat like zombies. I realized they were a cult. Most of the people in the group wandered off to find other victims, but two girls stayed. Each of them had half a broken surfboard as a weapon, and were talking to each other about how many souls they still needed to collect. I tried to talk to them and figure out what was going on, but they were somewhat unresponsive. I realized I had dropped my car key when the people had come running out of the bushes earlier, and was afraid they would find it and steal my car. I found the key and hid it in my pocket. The girls were still coming toward me, once they started to attack I was able to wrestle one of the half-boards away from the girl, and tried with all my strength to hit her, but I couldn't hit her very hard. It seemed to work well-enough though.

Heeeeellllllllllllll No!

I was in line with some friends for some sort of video game system promotion. I wasn't sure what it was for, but i had a feeling it was a PSP thing. I wasn't even sure if i wanted one, but i was trying to rationalize it as we waited. When we got inside, there was a bin with "bonus games" in it. I guess these were really rare games that we had the first chance to buy because we were waiting in line for that other thing. The only game i remember in there was the Zelda game that i've been playing recently except it was the "Flying Edition." It sounded kinda cool, but i put it back when i realized it was 99 dollars. Right after that, they handed me a bag which was apparently what i had been waiting for. I thought i saw a PSP, but when i looked inside the bag, it was just a bunch of stuff i already had like Gamecube and Nintendo 64.

Late For Franz Joseph

I had gone back to New Zealand a second time. I was up really late with the people in my group, and we were all in a public bathroom. I was waiting to pee, and the girl in front of me was taking really long to pick a stall and I didn't like her very much anyway. I decided I was going to go first because she was screwing around. When I tried to she got mad and jumped onto the bathroom stall, like an animal gaurding it's food. I decided she was crazy, and just stayed out of her way. Eventually everyone just started hanging out in this bathroom, and there were tropical birds flying around. One of them was grey and pink and had really crazy designs on it.
We all stayed up really late that night, and when we wolk up it was time to leave for Franz Joseph. I was telling Rhea that I was thinking about just going home from Franz Joseph because I know what happens in queenstown and it's not that fun. The room was a complete mess, and I was scrambling to find my things. I got back on the bus having left a lot of stuff behind, and I was really bummed about that. When I got back on the bus I asked my project leader if I could go back to get things. He said that was alright. I went back to the bedroom and started going through piles of stuff. There were a few things that I was trying not to forget, one of which was my sleeping bag. As I searched through all the stuff and found things I needed, the important things kept slipping into the back of my mind, and I would keep trying to remind myself of them and not get distracted.

Lost

I tried to make coffee from the beans that Shayna had. I was wondering I could just boil water and put the coffee beans into the water and let them soak. Shayna showed up as I was doing this and she said I had to ground them up. So I did, but when I tried to pour the hot water over them the filter moved and so I just got a bunch of grounds in my water.
Later on, I was still in Kresge East and some kind of battle was going to take place. Part of it may have had to do with spilled coffee beans. The balcony was just a big plank connected to all the other houses, and we were very high up in a canopy. After the battle was over, there were corn kernels everywhere and I was going to leave after I swept them up. I went to go take a shower. Everyone had orange bath towels and we were all fighting to get into the door and shower first. I realized that this wasn't even my own house and I could go take a shower in my bathroom.
So I went out the back door of this person's house. I tried to go in the direction where my house would normally be, but since I went out the back door everything was switched around. I wandered for a long time and was just getting progressively more lost. All the while I am in a bath towel. It was night when I started and I was climbing over balconies and asking people where to go. This black security gaurd lady asked me if I needed help and so I asked her how to get to Kresge East. She tried to explain it to me, but kept tripping on her words and would say something then realize she was wrong. I got fed up with her and started being kind of rude, she said she would come with me to help me find it. I apologized to her for being rude, and said that I wasn't mad at her, I was just pissed off about this whole situation. She said she understood and we started walking.
We were walking through the Cowell Apartments and they were like the ones near Kresge, but absolutely packed with people. They fit about twice the number of apartments into the same space, and some of the apartments on the first floor were actually shops and resturaunts. The streets were crowded with students, mostly surfers and pot-smokers and the like, and I noticed that these apartments were built right on the beach. The surf was huge and people were walking out to it from the street. I decided that this has to be the best housing on campus, and that I really wanted to live here. The security gaurd lady and I decided to cut through a shop.
We went inside, the security gaurd lady now had a stroller with a baby in it. And were going by windows filled with brightly-colored stuffed animals. I could see the baby looking at all of them, and she started to smile. I commented on how cute that was. We got to the end of the store and came to a stairway on our right, and a way out to the main street on our left. The stairway looked like it led into the apartments, and I didn't know where the main street would take us. I was very very scared of choosing the wrong way, remembering how easily I got lost to begin with.

Attack Dogs and Attack Sisters

Mr. Gates: my cross-country coach and english teacher from high school
Ms. Atkinson: another teacher at my school
Mattie/Sam: sisters

I got on an airplane. Mr. Gates was on the plane too. At first he didn't recognize me but once I told him who I was he jumped out of his seat to give me a hug. We were very excited to see each other and I started asking him about his life. I asked him how things with Ms. Atkinson were going. He got a very sad look on his face and told me that she died. I felt so bad for him and told him I was very sorry. We all got back to my house and I went upstairs.
I was with my sisters and trying to wash my face and get dressed and whatnot but they kept making everything difficult. Mattie kept getting in the way of the sink and I really wanted to smack her. Sam started bothering me too, and grabbed a curtain rod off the wall and was trying to hit me with it. I tried to kick her.
I was outside with my sisters in a very rich neighborhood. Fire alarms kept going off in different people's houses because they were all attempting to cook turkeys for some holiday. I contemplated how stupid they were, and thought they should just figure out how to cook a turkey. I layed down on the ground and some people's dogs ran up to me. I wanted to pet them all but I was afraid they might bite me. I stood up and pet them for a little bit. Then one of the dogs jumped up on to Mattie and was about to attack her. I grabbed the dog and pulled him off of her, grabbing his mouth and telling him he was a bad dog. The owner came up to me and told me that that was a bad idea. I thought to myself, well what else was I supposed to do, let it attack my sister?

Mr. Gates married Ms. Atkinson a couple years ago.
In the dream when I tried to kick sam I actually kicked in my sleep and ended up kicking the wall very hard.
Yesterday someone's dog came sprinting out of the house toward me. I'm usually not afraid of dogs, but I was pretty sure this one was gonna bite me. He didn't though... primarily because I basically ran away.

Miss Orange Juice of America

Theo employed me to work in a factory for his orange juice company. His factory was actually a random shed and there was a trough full of water and sand on the ground. Theo instructed me to use a cup to pick up the water from the trough but try not to get any sand in it. I tried a few times and would get sand in it every time. He pushed me and scolded me.
I recieved a call from a guy saying I had been seleted to compete in the Miss America contest. I thought he must be full of shit because I never signed up for anything like that, and was trying to remember if I had filled out any forms. He convinced me that it was not a scam and then started asking me questions. I wondered if he knew that I had cut my hair. In the middle of his questions my phone cut out and I couldn't call him back.

Magic Butt

OK, this one's probably gonna be a doozy.
I saw my dad coming home (in our old camper truck), but i was busy doing something, so i didn't immediately go downstairs. By the time i finally went downstairs, my entire family had arrived. It occurred to me by this time that i was the only one in the family who didn't know that he wasn't really dead. This made me pretty angry, and i intended to have a very interesting conversation with my mother once everyone had left. On my way downstairs, i passed a room where my mom and my sister were talking about my dad. They said something about either me or Hayden (my youngest nephew) hating my dad. Thinking they were talking about me, this set me off even more. I gave my mom a dirty look and continued walking. My dad was in the living room watching videos of the grandkids (to catch up on things, i guess). When he saw me, he said, "Oi!" This was extremely strange because about a second before he said it, i saw a subtitle that read, "Oi!" I responded by raising my fist with an excited "Oi!" of my own. I grabbed a couple yo-yos, and we exchanged a couple words, but i don't recall ever actually starting to yo-yo. The entire time i was in the living room with him, i was hiding my anger/sadness and putting on a happy face. Hayden was in the living room, and he was playing with something of mine rather roughly, so when it bounced over to me, i didn't give it back. This made him mad, so he climbed up a chair and jumped off backwards like he was trying to hurt himself to get back at me. He started climbing again, so i yelled, "HAYDEN! NO!" in a stern commanding voice. Of course, he didn't listen, and he jumped again. As he started to climb up the third time, i walked over to physically stop him, but before i got to him, my sister (his mother) walked into the room and said to my dad, "Oh, this is so cute, watch what he does!" (referring to hayden). I couldn't believe it. After i was trying to make him stop, she comes in and condones it. After that, i couldn't handle being in the house anymore, so i had to leave. I think i went somewhere with my friend, Lou. Afterward, i was wandering the streets in a tired drunken state. As i approached my car, a drunk woman was approaching it at the same time. I realized about this time that i was dreaming, so i had sex with her in the back of my car. After i "woke up" from this dream, i found myself naked in my car in front of my house, so i walked into the house and washed off my face in the kitchen sink. My mom came downstairs and kinda snuck up behind me. She said, "Wow, i HAD a headache, but now i don't...you must have a magic...butt." She then told me she wanted to "talk." I knew this was about the whole situation with my dad, but it was like 2 in the morning, and i was really tired, so i didn't want to do it then. She said that she was going to be having friends over the following day, so we had to do it right then. Then she said something like, "as a matter of fact, they're tailored just for you. They're 17 and really fun." I got really pissed when i realized she was talking about dogs and not girls. I ran upstairs to get a squirt for our "conversation," but just as we were about to start talking, the phone rang.

Wii!!

My old friend Brad got a wii. He only had the one controller for it, so I came over with my Gamecube controllers so we could play some games. It was me, him, and one other dude (Don't remember if he was actually someone i knew or not). We started playing, and we were doing some name entering stuff, but i was having trouble with it for some reason. Also, i had a wii-mote/nunchuck controller in my hand. The other two were losing patience with me, so the other guy started pummelling me while i was trying to enter my name and stuff. Obviously, this made it harder to do. Brad got really frustrated with how long it was taking, and he kinda stopped talking to me. At one point during the game (although i don't remember ever actually PLAYING the game), Brad's dog came up and started chewing on my controller cords. "That's it!" I thought, so i yanked the controller cord and flung the wii on to the floor near me. I unplugged all the cords and apologized to brad for flinging the wii on my way out. As i was leaving, they were playing madden, and they talked about a previous game they played between UCLA and USC. Also, in the loading screen, there was a ping pong ball shooting game that they were playing, and, apparently, they actually HAD those guns because i got shot in the eye by one.

I had another dream that i was at Justin's, but it wasn't Justin's. It was more like my house. The only thing i remember was that he had a 12 pack of "Winter Wild Cherry Pepsi," and i wanted to try it to see if they brought back the old formula, but i never got a chance.

Baptist Church of Irvine

I was staying with my family at someone's house in a rural area. There was a school there where my boyfriend went. My boyfriend was a very studious black kid, and he was very nice. I was at the house and had to drive a couple of kids out to a camp they were participating in.
We drove in a little box-car kind of thing. The road was very windey and there was snow everywhere. I was looking at the grass on the side of the road and all the hills covered in snow and realized we were in New Zealand. I told this to the kids I was driving and they were surprised I didn't know that.
We got to the camp, which was in the middle of nowhere, and I came inside with the kids and took all of my snow gear off and helped the kids with theirs. My mom was working there, and I told her that myself and the kids didn't want to participate in the camp's hike, and that we had just come out here to visit. So after we had stayed for a while I told my mom that we were going to drive back now. She said that we absolutely couldn't do that because it had gotten too cold outside now, and that we would have to stay here until morning. I was kind of bummed about this because I had nothing to do out there, but I decided to make the best of it. I spent a lot of time around some of the kids at the camp that night, and developed quite an affinity for some of them. I really loved them and decided I would miss them when they left.
I was with Erin and Theo in a room at the camp. My sociology professor had given us an assignment that required Theo and I to take a huge dose of shrooms while Erin recorded our reaction to it. The mushrooms came in pill-form and I didn't want to take that big a dose, so i opened the pill and poured out some of the powder and took that. I was excited to do shrooms again, but I was kind of concerned about having a bad time. Theo sat down in a chair in front of a mirror, then I went over and sat on his lap. He nicely told me that I shouldn't be sitting there, and I ignored him. When we stood up from the chair and looked in the mirror, for a split second our bodies turned into one and the image in the mirror was a mishmash of me and Theo's features. We both said "wow" and jumped away from the mirror. When Erin came back we told her what had just happened, and described it as cool but kind of gruesome.
I was in the bathroom at the camp and heard Erin outside the door saying she had just eaten a really hot pepper and that it was going to make her throw up. Then she threw up. Then I heard a bunch of people laughing at her. When I came out of the bathroom I saw that the people laughing at her were a large group of British men, and someone was standing there scolding them.
My mom, my sisters, and me had all come back to Irvine and we were staying in a hostel. My mom was bothered by how small the room was, and I was bothered by how hot everything felt in America. I looked out the window and saw Sam wandering away. I yelled out the window to ask her where she was going, she pulled her headphones out of one ear and said that she was going to go explore. I told her that this is Irvine and there is absolutely nothing to explore. She was surprised because she thought we were someone else. I told her to turn around and look at the name written on the church behind her (which read "Baptist Church of Irvine").
The hostel we were staying at was very close to the beach so I went down there with my family. The waves were huge, and i would have to brace myself so they wouldn't slam me into the rocky cliff behind us. There was a huge Whale in the waves who I befriended. Or at least I thought he was my friend, and then as every wave came in he would sniff around where I was in an agressive way, and I thought he was going to eat me. I told my mom I was leaving, and she said "what, too much for you?", and I told her "uh, yeah... I mean the whale is trying to eat me".
Later on that night I was in the hostel with Theo and some people. I was avoiding the Whale, who had come by my house looking for me a few times. I felt really bad about avoiding him because I wanted him to be my friend, but I was just afraid. Then, for no particular reason, I realized I was dreaming and that I wanted to fly.
I jumped out the nearest window, which was about 8-stories up, and flew out over the ocean. The sun was setting and the whole sky was a deep purple and the clouds had a pink lining on them. The ocean also looked dark purple. I flew over the city with all of it's lights on. Flying felt so good and relieving, I felt completely happy. I saw the Whale as I was flying and told him I was sorry, and encouraged him to fly with me. He tried and did pretty well. The Whale asked me if I could do a "fairy circle". Which apparently meant do a backflip in the air. I told him that I could do pretty much anything I wanted, so I tried the fairy circle and I could do it. The whale then took the form of what he would look like if there was a person. There was a huge tree there and another guy sitting in the top of it. I flew up to the tree and asked the guy what he was doing. He was apparently examining his feet.

Stray Dog

Jan = my ecology professor
John = my mom's boyfriend

I was with Jan in a field with a few other girls. He found a centipede and skewered it with a stick, then told us we should try eating some. At first I resisted because that sounded discusting. Then he tried some and so did the other girls, so I did as well. The texture was very distinct, and it was a lot like shrimp. I told Jan I was a vegetarian, but then said that the centipede tasted like what i remember shrimp to taste like. He was impressed by me being a vegetarian. All of us were now taking bites out of the centipede and then getting too discusted by them and spitting them out. There was mushed centipede all over the ground.
Jan had gone somewhere with some hunting dogs. I found another dog, she was a very big huskie. We started trailing Jan. To my surprise the dog stuck with me and obeyed me even though she was a stray. It was starting to get dark and there were cars going by and I was afraid the dog was going to get hit. We tracked Jan into Kresge proper and there were a bunch of black guys hanging out in the higher floors of the buildings. I asked one of them if he had just seen some hunting dogs go by. He just stared down at me and made a strange hissing noise. Another guy told me not to pay attention to him, and that the other guy just wanted my dog to be part of the fight. I told him that I'ld rather not participate, and that I will probably keep my doors locked tonight. He said that was a good idea.
I got to my house, which was in Kresge, and my family was inside. They were all watching a movie, and i introduced them to the dog I had found. The dog and I were both very tired so we just sat down on the floor in front of the movie. The dog layed her head on my stomach and I was petting her. After a while she got up and was scratching at the front door. I realized that she was wild and it might be impossible for me to keep her happy if she was living inside. I tried taking her into the back yard to see if that would satisfy her urge to be outdoors. I kicked a ball around for her and she chased it. It was now getting light outside, and then the dog knocked the ball into some bushes on the side of the yard. I went over to get it, and when i emerged from the bush I was covered in bugs. There were little gnats all over me, and they started to fly all over the yard too. The sensation of them crawling on me was very strong. I took the dog inside with me and started brushing all the gnats off. John asked what happened and I told him. I was then going to go ask my mom if we had any dog food.

Greyhound

I was going to take the greyhound back to southern california. The ride was going to be very long and I was not excited about it. The bus was driving on a grass road on a hillside. It was very beautiful, and we all stopped to get out of the bus for a minute. The landscape looked a lot like New Zealand, and I think Anthony and Tommy were there. I went into the bushes to pee. When I came back everyone was getting back on the bus.
At one point the bus stopped in a house somewhere in the city. Theo was there. And I decided I was going to run from Monterey back to Orange County. I was talking to a girl who had biked it, and decided I could do this if I just took a lot of stops.
I was now on the bus with my family. We had stopped at a beach somewhere and the sun was setting. We got back on the bus for the last hour or so back home.
