Bowl Full of Skittles

Jan = My ecology professor

I was with Jan and we were in a field. we knelt down to look at the bugs in the grass. he asked me if i knew what kind of bugs they were. i saw that they were ticks, and told him that, he said yes and then held my arm down to the ground. the ticks started to crawl all over me and i was screaming in protest for him to let me go.

Jan assigned us all to go on a scavenger hunt. there were really random objects on there and most of them were stuff you found in a drugstore. so we went into the drug store and I started finding a lot of stuff. When the time was almost up I had found almost everything and I was proud. However I was pissed that I never figured out that a "ball composed of cotton" was actually referring to a cotton ball.
I was downtown with Theo and his mom. There was a war going on between two different sects. It was basically the beggining of a civil war. The fighting was moving closer to us and I tried to run but it was too late and I got caught in the crossfire. I had to hide under an awning with this guy while we were being shot at. I had a big bowl full of skittles with me. Luckily I didn't get hit and I ran somewhere.
I was walking through a forested area with a bunch of people including my sister Sam. One of the warring groups showed up and a representative of them said that he needed volunteers to be tied up and left for the other warring group to find. The guy picked a bunch of people at random, including myself and Sam. Everyone was afraid so they felt forced to obey. When I walked up to the rope I just held it open for everyone and they all went in. Sam however got tied up in a different group. The guy started talking and was brainwashing everyone into believing it was a good cause. He showed them all a trick to do with each other's hands and everyone was mesmorized by it. I was talking to this red-headed kid whose sister had also been tied up. The red-headed kid and I ran for it, we vowed to go back for our sisters.
We got to a house and went inside. We sat down with a bunch of kids that lived there. The kids were watching TV and didn't really seem to care that we had showed up. When the dad came in we just acted like everything was normal. The dad was too stressed out to notice that we didn't seem to belong. One of the kids had gotten soaking wet because she fell into the pool or something. We brought her up to the dad so that his scolding her would distract him while we ran for it. The red-headed kid and I were outside and running now, but my pants were soaked from the girl and were falling off, so I took them off so I could run better. The dad had now realized what we had done, and called after us saying that he should call the cops. The red-headed kid and I started hopping over fences to get away. I could kind of float and was able to glide over the fences and do tricks and whatnot really easily. The red-headed kid kept stumbling and was pissed that he was having a much harder time than me. The dad caught the red-headed kid. He put him in his car and said that they were going to go to the car dealership together. I kept running.
I got to a freeway and a big ravine. It was really hot outside and the sun was beating down on me. I walked along the ravine while I tried to decide what to do. I knew I had to get out of the area fast because the Dad was driving around, but I didn't know where I was. I stopped at a strip mall to see if I could find a map. I found one inside this place, and realized it was actually the car dealership. I figured this was the place that the dad was going to so I had to get out fast.

Waitaminute, I'm Not in High School Anymore...

I had to get to school for an AP Chem mid-term. First, i was at somebody's house in the morning, but i don't remember whose. Then, I was waiting at a bus stop. Then, I ran all the way across town to wait at a different bus stop. After getting on the bus, i tried to pay the driver 2 dollars, but she said she was already driving, so she couldn't handle the money, so i had to stand there next to the door for the whole ride. It was very strange because i could see her driving all over the place and running into things, but i couldn't feel it. I figured the bus must have really good shocks or something. At some point, i believe the bus broke down or tipped over or something due to the erratic driving, and i ended up waiting at the original bus stop again. The ice cream man came, and we asked if he could give us a ride to school since the bus hadn't come yet, but he said no. The bus finally came, but everyone at the stop started walking the other direction. I asked where they were going, and they said they were gonna take the transit instead, which arrived at the exact same time. I followed them, and we got on the "transit" bus...thing, which i was happy about because it was free, and i thought i was gonna have to pay for the bus AGAIN even though the first bus never got me to school (i had forgotten by this time that i probably never even paid the first bus driver). The transit took us near the school, but it was right in front of my friend's house, so we all went inside. We started a poker tournament, and Matt was raking it in. I saw a clock that said "10:30," and i said, "oh shit! i missed my AP Chem mid-term!" This prompted everyone to stop playing in the middle of the tournament, and that made me even MORE pissed. I yelled at them, "WHAT??? you're gonna make me miss my mid-term, and then we're not even gonna finish the game??? Well, fuck you, i'm leaving," and i flipped over the table. On my way out, i apologized for flipping over the table, but i didn't offer to help clean it up. After that, i just got lost in a series of backyards. I was hopping fences and stuff, and there were animals around, and that was about it.

Too Sad To Title

Shayna = friend

I was with Brian and we were hanging out at my house in Irvine. We were going to watch a movie and were trying to decide which one.
I was with Shayna in this really strange rural town. There was a big river with ropes suspended over it. Shayna's brother was out on the middle of the rope. She tried to walk out to him, and slipped off the rope into the water. I now had a view of her from underneath the water. The water was freezing cold and when she fell in she couldn't move. She started to look like a rag doll and I watched her sink to the bottom.
I ran to get help and no one really seemed to understand the urgency of the situation. I felt like she still might be alive if someone could get to her fast. The police eventually went and found her and asked me to identify her.
Throughout the rest of the dream I was crying and people were talking to me about Shayna. I found one of her sweaters and it was covered in dirt.

Leonard Bernstein

Este = Erin's little sister
Elliott = highschool friend

The world was going to end so everyone in Kresge gathered in this apartment complex and was having a party. The idea was that impending doom meant no responsibility and we might as well live it up while we can. Eventually everyone started to leave and was talking about what might happen. There was an air of resigned panic and acceptance. I was happy and felt confident.
I went to a different apartment complex and was hanging around in an apartment with a women and her children. The woman had bruises all over her and was beating her kids. I killed her. Another woman showed up and she was kind of trashy looking. I asked her if she was a porn star and she said yes. She gave me a form to fill out.
I was in a different apartment in the same complex with Theo. We had found a dad who was abusing his daughter. When the daughter left Theo killed the dad. We were sitting in the apartment afterward and heard a loud rumbling noise. I looked out the window and saw a silver sports car go by. Theo asked if that sound had something to do with the end of the world. I told him that the sound was just a car going by. There was a knock on the door and when Theo answered it it was the girl with the abusive dad. She was mad that Theo had killed him, and stabbed Theo, once in his feet, once in each arm, and then in the stomach. Theo fell to the ground and was dying.
Erin was running and I caught up with her. We were running along a residential street that overlooked the ocean. It was very beautiful. We got to some of the houses and went inside one, which was Este's apartment. The apartment was very big and had two stories. The second story had really nice posters all over the wall and christmas lights. I complemented Este on her decorating job. There were three elephants in the house. I went downstairs and was talking to an elephant that had a purple hat. I petted it's head and it kissed my stomach.
I went to a place with Theo and the people from my NZ trip. I knew that I had to go there. The room had blue walls and wooden paneling, which an orange carpet. It reminded me of a library. I went there because it was my time to die. I went to the front desk with everyone and one of the ladies working there handed me the form that the porn-star had given me earlier. They asked me to write down when my last menstrual cycle was. I filled it out (and actually wrote down the real date). They asked me the first step: if I had to go to the bathroom. I said that yes I actually did, so my group and I went to the bathrooms. There were multiple bathrooms depending on how badly you had to go. I couldn't find one that fit my actual needs, so I ran down this other corridor to find different bathrooms. I was worried about taking too long or getting separated from my group so I was kind of in a hurry. I came to a bunch of doors that had a boy's name on each one. I went inside one of the doors and saw Elliott in there in his boxers. I wondered if he was a prostitute. I ran past him and told him that I was about to die. He said he didn't care. I went and peed and when I came back I was wearing a silk karate outfit. As I was walking past Elliott to leave he asked if he could just look at me and I said no.
I got back to the front desk and they asked me if I wanted a cookie, which was the second step. They handed me a bag with three sections and I shook the bag for a while to find out which kind of cookie was in each section. Somehow the rattling noise denoted that there was more or less space between the raisins or chocolate chips and I could tell which kind was which. I found a chocolate chip cookie and ate it. As I was standing at the desk handing them my jacket and putting things in envelopes I started to feel very strange. Kind of tingly and excited but at the same time very afraid. I wondered if the cookie was drugged somehow to relax me. I started to feel destined, and like I had to do all of these things, kind of posessed by this feeling of purpose that scared me at the same time. The people at the desk told me I was ready to go now. I took my water bottle and my cell phone and started to walk away. As I was walking away the people at the desk told me to not be afraid and just forget about the past and that everything that mattered was in the future.
I got to the elevator. Theo was sitting there trying to pick his way inside of the elevator, and my NZ group was sitting on the floor scowling at me. I didn't understand why they were mad, and told them that and told them that I hadn't done anything wrong and that everything was going to be fine.
Theo and I were at the elevator alone now. We were naked and had wrapped ourselves together with toilet paper. I finnaly put down my cell phone because I realized since I was going to die I really didn't need it now and that it wasn't going to matter. Thinking about my cell phone made me thing about my sisters and my mom and I immediately tried to push them out of my head because I felt like I could completely break down at any second. Theo and I heard a rumbling sound in the distance and thought that the world must finnaly be ending and that this was the sound of a bomb or some destructive force coming closer to us. We kissed each other and told each other that we loved each other, I was happy to be with him and that I didn't have to be alone. As the rumbling sound got closer we realized it was actually the elevator coming down for us. A light went on and the elevator doors opened.

A Perfect Day for the Beach

I was in a house for homeless people. It was set up by one lady whose name started with an "M". All of the homeless people there knew her and thought of her like she was a saint. When I asked someone who she was they started telling me all of these wonderful things about her and what she has done for everyone. So all the homeless people were just hanging out doing whatever. A few of them were watching tv. Some of them were sitting around begging for someone to share their food with them.
I was sitting in a truck with Theo waiting for someone. An asian guy in a big van pulled up next to us and was saying how he is on his break right now.
I was standing in front of a sink with Eli doing dishes and this guy my age came up and started washing a bowl that previously had protein powder in it. He did a really half-assed job washing it and I made fun of him for it. He was a little offended, but when he looked at the bowl again he agreed that he needed to wash it more. I then recognized him from the homeless house, I told him that and he realized he remembered me too. I introduced myself, and he said his name was Frog. When I shook his hand he held his fingers in wierd positions to make his hand look like a frog's hand.
I was on a short cliff overlooking a beach. The water was perfectly clear like in Costa Rica or something. It was incredibly beautiful. There was a surfer in the water and I said to Erin, who was next to me that it made me want to go surfing so bad. Then I noticed there were a bunch of rocks in front of the break and that made me really not want to surf there. Carissa was there too and we were all discussing the water and jumping off the cliff. Somehow all of a sudden I felt myself falling and hitting the water very hard, and when I opened my eyes I was deep under the water. It was really beautiful under there and it felt good to be in the water. Carissa (only she looked like a little girl) appeared in front of me, and said to me in a water-muffled voice and sympathetic way that I can't jump off the cliff like that and that I have to curl up more or something. She then tried to encourage me to swim back up to the top but I couldn't really move. I conveyed to Carissa the urgency of the situation, and she started trying to pull me. She told me she didn't think she could, and I think she was about to go get Erin for help.


When I wolk up I wanted to go to the beach so badly.

Survivor Football

I was at some sort of men's retreat type thing, and we were going to play football, but Pronier was there, and he gave us a bad "grade" for participation or something, so we had to go back to the base area, get everything figured out, and then go back. Before we went back, there was someone who needed help with some math. It was a really funky matrix problem with fractions and stuff. I advised him to just multiply out the matrices and see what happens from there, because that was the best i could come up with. We went back outside to play football, and somebody had to step up and divide the teams. However, that person would not be allowed to play.
This transitioned me into being on Survivor. I was digging around the camp with a shovel, and i thought i had found the immunity idol, but it turned out just to be some old weird simpsons game. I got some help setting up my hammock, but then like four people tried to sit on it, so it fell down. Then, a bunch of little kids decided to be really helpful and hang it WAY up high. I was like, "Umm...could you NOT do that? Thanks." I watched one of the kids jump off this huge...castle thing and land in the sand. I thought he was dead for sure, but he popped right up and started running around again. Then it occurred to me: why are there a bunch of kids running around on SURVIVOR??? After that, i noticed there was a city street, a train, TV's, and all KINDS of stuff right next to us. I was flipping out over how stupid this all was, and that's pretty much when i woke up.

Just Call Me Phil

I was playing at a Poker After Dark table, but the strange thing is...it was in my house, and my mom and dad were also at the table. I was Short-stacked, but then i hit a huge hand (straight) against my mom and dad, and i tripled up. After that, i was back in business. However, i looked down a couple hands later, and most of my chips were GONE. I was pissed. "What the hell happened to my chips???" i yelled. I was convinced that someone had STOLEN my chips, and i couldn't believe it. I decided that instead of trying to work with what i had left, i was going to quit and cause a big scene. It wasn't fair. Just after i get enough to start working again, my chips mysteriously disappear. I started walking around behind people and examining their chips to see if they stole mine, and then i would apologize to them for accusing them individually. I still wanted to watch the match, so i didn't leave. I just stormed around. I didn't know how much i had left, and at one point, Johnny Chan tossed me a single chip that represented the amount that i foolishly claimed to have. I said, "thanks," but gave it back. A little later, the producers of the show came up to me and talked to me. They were trying to convince me to come back, but i said there was no point. "Why should i play if someone's going to be stealing my chips?" Eventually, they put out a plate of food with a restored bunch of chips at my seat. I still didn't think it was what i had before, so i decided that i would eat the food, auto-fold every hand, and then leave again once i was done eating.

I was at some sort of event where people's names were being announced, and then they were coming out into the crowd. As they cheered or something. There were a couple people i recognized, most notably a yo-yoer kid that i thought was kindof annoying, but his parents were really cool. When his name was called, his mom cheered really loudly, and then we heard a voice say something like, "We know who the kids' parents are, so please keep it down." We all thought that was pretty weird. I went to my seat next to...whoever i was sitting with, and there was a hot mom next to me (who sounded a lot like Caprice Helm, but didn't quite look like her). She greeted me, and told me she wasn't staying, but she had to do something with her kid for a minute there. The whole time she was doing whatever with her kid, she kept her hand on me. After she was done, she said she was leaving and asked me for a hug, so i got up, gave her a big hug, and said, "i'll miss you!"

New Year

I had started a new year at school. Theo and I were going to live at Crown, so we were walking around trying to find our dorms. Theo's dorm was only a couple doors down from mine. I went inside mine and was very disappointed to find out that I had five roomates, and that all of them had already gotten there and taken the better beds and desks. I found the remaining furniture and moved it to one area. Once I started to get my stuff settled I realized it wasn't so bad. I saw Theo later and was really pissed when I found out he only had one roomate who happened to be a very hot girl.

Pitch White

I was in some sort of drama class, and i had a female drama teacher. We were doing some sort of joint class thing with the head of the drama department who was a newer male teacher. At some point during the thing, the two teachers had a conflict where the head guy didn't want to do what the other teacher wanted to do. I asked him about it later, and he said he just flat out didn't like her. I had to do some sort of comedy monologue thing, so i decided to an immitation of Rob Schneider or something. I don't really remember what it was.

I was at church, and there were these canopy type things that were somewhat reminiscent of something out of Mario 64. One of them was destroyed somehow, and the debris fell over my car and stuff, and it disappeared. I was walking around trying to find my car for awhile to no avail. What made things even worse was that there were these GIANT spiders crawling around, and i had to fend them off as i was searching. Pastor Jim came outside, and he had something that was going to help. He turned it on, and a bright flash slowly grew out of it. It got brighter and brighter until EVERYTHING was completely white. It was like pitch darkness, but the opposite. After it went away, all the giant bugs were gone, but i still couldn't find my car.

I was running down the beach for some reason, and i found Anastasia. She had some sort of food covering her face for some reason. I went up to her, said, "I love you," and started kissing/licking the food off of her face. My nephew showed up, and he started doing the same. That made me feel a bit...off. Another girl showed up, and the two girls took off together. Ivan (my nephew) followed them, but i went the other way.

I have in my note that i wrote to myself to help me remember my dreams today the words "log ride," but i don't remember anything about that.
