Dream 07-04-16

I don't remember how it started or where I was. I feel like there was some huge misunderstanding. I had slept with a guy who used to be involved with this blonde girl. I think she caught us (near the end or after) then her husband came in (was her husband Kevin Smith?) and thought she was having an affair. Did they? I don't know. They head off to their room arguing - she insists she didn't do anything. The guy disappears. I go to my room next to theirs (is it a dorm?) and I can hear them. Muffled. There's an older man in my room. I ignore him but he keeps watching me. There's a glass patio door and I can see that it's raining. I'm happy I can wear my new poncho. It will match the tan paisley shirt I have on. After finding my poncho in the pile on the floor (I notice I'm already wearing socks; I don't think about shoes?) I leave through the patio door. The man keeps watching me.

I meet up with Aaron at some sort of shopping mall. A few people stare. One petite Vietnamese girl in particular. She's sitting at a long table selling something and I feel like she's friends with the blonde. I start to leave, but Aaron's talking to her. I miss most of the conversation, but I hear him say "I just lost my job, so..." to which she replies "good". Good? I want to let it go and leave, but I guess I can't. I find myself standing over her, not quite yelling, but loudly berating her. She's an awful person who has no right saying that to anybody - least of all a customer. I go on for... longer than I probably need to. I don't know if it affected her, but at least I said my piece.

Now it's night and I'm going to some party at a warehouse. People outside (in cars and on foot) are cheering me. Is it because I slept with that guy? Why do I think it is? Inside Sandy finds me. She's excited about some cupcakes she made and drags me upstairs. This area (the stairs and hall at the top) seem familiar. Like the theater dream. There are three platters of cupcakes. She tries to give me one and drops it. Then she knocks a whole platter. I don't laugh. I reach to grab one myself, but I have a compass in my hand. I don't think it's odd to have it, but I'm concerned because the directions seem off.

Dream 06-28-16

I'm not sure where I was other than "home". The house and location didn't seem familiar. It was very dark and starting to drizzle. Onyx was sitting out on the porch. I picked her up to bring her inside and give her some medicine. She was fat and furry, but when I picked her up she was listless and weighed almost nothing. I don't remember anything else.

Dream 06-27-16

We were at a mall that was mostly abandoned. Didn't start there. Something about clothes and food and weather. I was walking around on practice stilts which I think I've done in a dream before. In the parking lot some guy in a truck scratched my car and my brakes wouldn't work if I was in reverse. Josh was telling me how to get tires for cheap. I remember trying to put on makeup from a small palette. The foundation was really thick and streaky. I was using a small brush and with enough effort got it to blend.

Dream 06-24-16

I was living in a small shack far away from almost anything. I believe there was a beach nearby. Despite the isolation some chick and her boyfriend came by with a ton of dogs. I went to my room. Aaron got one of his female friends to come over. Something about a car. She sat on my stuff and kept trying to get close to me.

Dream 06-20-16

The whole area was confusing. I wasn't sure if the "rooms" were apartments or houses. Towards the back on the right was some kind of restaurant. I wanted to eat there, but they were trying to get rid of a demon. I ran away, cutting through several "yards" until I found a hedge I could hide behind. I must have fallen asleep because Fernando found me later. He said I kept mumbling "voodoo" over and over and doing something with my outstretched hand. He said, "That was right". He escorted me back to my "room". The entrance was covered by a pair of large shelves. Normally I would squeeze in between the stuff, but since he was with me I just pulled a shelf back to walk in normally.

Dream 06-18-16

We were getting a new, smaller couch for his mom so it would fit better. There were some people near us also moving a couch that was pink and cute. Ours was yellow. There was a chair part I liked and wanted to keep because it fit nicely. Some burglars showed up. I tried to get rid of them by throwing stuff, but I kept missing.



I was trying to talk to Matt, but he was really freaked out. Somehow he had thought that it wouldn't be right for us to fool around because we could be related. He would barely even talk to me so we finally just went to a doctor and got tested. It would be a week before the results came back.

Dream 06-17-16

Alexis was visiting and I got to spend some time with her. I think it was her last day. Aaron and I went to visit Sandy. I'm not sure if she was even there or not. I guess there was a small fire. I remember thinking that this guy was a fire chief, but he kept trying to grab my tits. When he finally left we made sure to lock all of the doors. I'm not sure if we fell asleep, but the sun started to rise and I heard noises like that guy was trying to break in. It took me a long time to call 911 because I forgot that from my cell phone I had to dial #944.

Dream 05-24-16

The house was Carrollton, but the location was all here. Jet managed to wiggle out of the window and I ran outside to grab her before trouble started. The neighbors had our yard filled with people and animals. They were having some kind of barbecue in our yard. ugh. I ran around the house to find Jet, but she was fast and got around me. She jumped at Aaron and he ducked. "Why didn't you catch her?!". AJ was out there having barbecue at the side of the house. I gave up and went inside for ice cream.

Dream 05-02-16

That was a mess. I just wanted to get Aaron used to doing stuff for the car so I wouldn't always have to, then everything happened. The car guy started acting pervy. There was a psycho killer that everyone was just kind of ignoring. I found out one of my friends was in a weird church cult and she didn't even know what any of her "beliefs" meant. Some cats went crazy and kept attacking me. There was one guy that I knew always carried a gun. I tried to get him to shoot the killer. He went to talk to the guy and got captured. Mom didn't believe anything was going on and left for her own church thing, but it wasn't really her because after "she" left the real-her came out of the bathroom.

Dream 04-24-16

I was in a van with a few other people. Between three and five. We were sitting at an intersection someplace I don't think I've ever been - awake or dreaming. There was a box truck across the street in front of us trying to back onto a trailer. The guy misjudged and the back wheel came off the edge. I could see the whole truck start to topple and looked away. Somehow he was able to maintain control enough to try again.

I looked out the side window and noticed antlers. The top of very tall, very intricate wooden antlers. It was a statue of some famous character. I reached for my camera and the van tilted. Somehow we ended up on top of a skyscraper and the statue was topping the building next to us. "It's not finished", someone said. 'Who cares?' I thought, 'When am I ever going to be this close again?' I tried to move carefully so the van wouldn't topple. Not sure if I got the picture.

Dream 04-22-16

I was in an unfamiliar neighborhood and it was night. It was a long dream, but I don't remember much of the beginning. I was hanging out with some cousins (don't know them waking, dream-cousins) and I think we were getting drunk. I thought "there's someplace nearby to be" and began walking. One of my 'cousins' walked with me. She was in a really good mood. That was nice.

We walked a few blocks in the silent darkness. Finally I saw it. "Matt's House". A small blue pre-fab hardly the size of a shed. On the outside. He left the door unlocked which was good because I really had to pee. The inside seemed really spacious, lots of white and rich woods, and well lit. I passed him on my way to the bathroom and he smiled.

The bedroom and bathroom were dimly candlelit with rose petals everywhere. I wished I didn't have to pee so badly. There were to toilets separated by a shower curtain. I picked the one nearest the door to relieve myself.

Then, again, about 20 people showed up. Several actually barging into the bathroom. I made my way out of the bathroom and found Matt in the kitchen. He started telling me about a girl he was seeing. I said, "Thanks, but I really don't need details"... and then she was there. Petite, brunette, very cute. They sat together at the coffee table making jewelry. Oh. Okay. Someone (I don't know who) remarked, "love can grow doing things like this regularly". She giggled. I left.

Dream 04-13-16

It was weirdly disjointed and random. Starts with me as an adult and AJ's a kid. She keeps following me around trying to get me to wear a Spiderman costume because she's wearing one, but it's way too small for me. She gets mad and starts throwing things at me.

Then I am a kid superhero. My power is balance and something to do with bridges? A train derailed somewhere so a superhero buddy and I go to help, but everyone is okay and just walks away.

I'm an adult again at some kind of birthday party. I'm not sure if it was for someone I knew in real life or from tv. Everyone is just sort of hanging out and there are balloons. The birthday girl hands me a flier to read, but it's sticky and there are some (3?) bugs stuck to it. I pick off the bugs and I guess everyone left.

Next I'm driving down a road, almost a highway. It's bright out and I'm doing a pretty good job in spite of the road splitting and signs being very vague. I picked up Matt from work and took him home. He lives with some girl in a decent sized house. He flops onto a couch and I'm not sure what to do so I sit on the other one. The girl (lady?) keeps talking and pacing around. Then she picks up one of the cats to let it outside, but when she lets go the cat just stays floating in the air. She grabs the cat and takes it to the back room. I look over and Matt is squatting to my right, smiling. He texts me a heart and when he hits "send"...

My alarm goes off.

Dream 03-23-16

(This morning I woke up for a smoke. When I laid back down he said "yes", moaned and started breathing heavy for a bit)

I wanted to ask him what he had dreamed about so I could see if it was related. We ended up at a parking garage across from a mall (pretty sure I've been there in dreams before) I asked him what he had dreamed about. "256 pages of" some project? He was explaining but it didn't make sense. Then two people he knew pulled up. Female - one taller and older, one much shorter. They parked and he was still talking about the papers dream so I held the door for them... They just stood outside the door staring at the floor so I let the door close. That made him mad. "Why did you do that?" "They were just standing there" Whatever. I left to find the car.

I hate this garage. It makes no sense and the people are mean. A group of girls made fun of my hair. Ugh. I try to find an empty place to sit. There's a small bench in a corner. Some kid comes up behind me and starts talking to me. I ignore it. This makes the dad angry. "You gonna just ignore my kid when he's talking to you?" Yup, you too. I walk away.

I find the car, charge my phone, grab a smoke - and lose the car again. I hate this garage. I go to check the lower levels. It's dark and a lady at a desk yells "you can't smoke down there". Fuck off. I make my way down one set of stairs and look over the railing. It's a nursery. Oh. That explains that.

We get back to his house. So close we could have walked. May have since the car was there. I re-park it just to be sure. Of what? I don't know. There are so many people and animals. I try to explain why I asked about the dream and he blows me off. Fine. There's something wrong with one of the cats. It has a huge hole in it. "That's from the worms". Okay... The hole is stuffed with a fishbowl full of water. A dog tries to drink out of it. That's disturbing. I wake myself up.

Dream 03-12-16

I was getting a tattoo on my back. It was supposed to be a giant spider. I didn't feel much at first, then there was some pain. Like someone pressing on a bruise. I was angry because it ended up being a werewolf instead of a spider. There was a commotion outside, but I don't remember what it was.

Dream 03-11-16

There was a sort of cafeteria inside a grocery store. I didn't have much appetite, but they had the big, soft pretzels and I had three of those. Jackie (Aaron's cousin) spotted some decadent treats, but the calories were insane. Somehow she talked me into splitting one with her.

Dream 03-09-16

I was trapped. I don't know how it happened. My hiding spot was GOOD! I was supposed to go for help. Instead I was taken with everybody else (and all of our stuff) to some weird compound on an almost-island far from anything. One of us got away. There was part of a fence he was barely able to squeeze through. I felt in my heart that he made it. He should have sent help. Help never came.

Years passed and the compound grew. I became some kind of teacher. I never forgot that hole in the fence. One day I'd had enough. I don't know what set me off. I managed to gather the others from my group into a small hall by the hangar with all of our stuff. We had to be quick and quiet. We were going to get out. The hangar door was cracked open and I could see the fence hole. Easy. There was a noise and the others scattered. Except one. A woman. My only friend. I climbed over the mass of stuff. Gremlin. I caught him and my friend found a backpack to trap him in. We made our way outside and managed to get her car open so we could stuff him in there. Hopefully no one would hear.

Days passed. Our captors decided to clear all of our stuff from the hangar and sell it. It was all set up in the yard. On display. So much stuff. Now we couldn't take anything. Back at the house part of the compound we waited. Watched while other groups bought up our stuff. One trio was particularly annoying. Maybe they helped get us captured? I couldn't remember. I looked through a window, following the road with my eyes. I thought I knew which way to go once we were beyond the fence. That way, to the right. South? Maybe. It was a long road and not much cover. Not even sure if the town by the bridge is safe. We'd need a car, but they were all on this side of the fence...

Dream 03-08-16

Deadpool dream. He never wore the costume and kept flirting with me. I don't know what we had stumbled into, but we kept getting separated and someone was always after us. Us and one other woman. I tried to avoid confrontation as much as possible. Mostly running and trying to find new weapons.

The three of us managed to get to the same park where we were going to regroup. We sat near each other trying to look inconspicuous. Some asshole was hassling the people who lived in the apartments nearby. Deadpool grabbed my arm and stuck it between his legs. When I got my arm back there was a small pistol up my sleeve. He managed to pull that off right before we were rounded up with the tenants.

"You go over there, on the right. Sucks for you with all that glass"
"yeah fine"

I made my way, slowly, towards a scared looking group huddled by a fire. I tried to look casual while scanning the area... there. A large shadow to the right. I ducked in and rounded the corner. Stopped. Two thugs had seen me. I pulled out the gun and waited. As soon as they came around the corner I shot them. Four times in the chest each. No way I had many more bullets in this tiny little pistol. There was a tree sitting just inside the shadow. I climbed up and found a place to sit where I could watch the corner for trouble and count my remaining bullets.

Dream 03-03-16

I'm not sure where I was. The building kept changing. It seemed part hospital, part warehouse, part pet store. There was a huge storm outside and we couldn't leave. At one point there was a very loud alarm and Aaron had to leave to help hunt down some dangerous guy that was loose in the building. The alarm startled a bunch of the animals. I noticed there was a baby kangaroo thrown into a case with some small bunnies. Who could be so careless? I scrambled to find some food and a bottle for it. I had a really hard time and kept knocking things over. The food was in a kind of syringe that was supposed to snap into the bottle. I don't think I made it back before waking up.

Dream 03-02-16

A lot happened that I don't remember. I was in an unfamiliar place, but the people seemed familiar. We were in a house. The one thing I remember very clearly is that my teeth started to feel really weird. I touched one and my two front top teeth feel right out. They were huge. I tried to put them back in, but they wouldn't attach. A woman told me "it happens" and gave me the number to a guy I could see right away to fix me.

Dream 02-27-16

I was crouched down between a building and a fortified camp that I was trying to get my group to. It was dark and I tried to stay hidden in the shadows. There were a few injured people along the way that I tried to patch up as best I could. There were also mines placed randomly along the path. I'm not sure what was supposed to set them off, but they were easy enough to disarm.

A stern looking woman appeared at the end of the road directly between us and the camp. She demanded we surrender. She couldn't see me. I shot her. I stayed hidden in the shadows, disarming mines and shooting out spotlights while the rest of my group made it to the safety of the camp.

Dream 02-24-16

I was sharing a fairly small apartment with maybe 10 other people. I feel like it was supposed to be some kind of reality show? Everyone was so lazy I really didn't mind much when the numbers started dwindling. I tried so many times to take a shower, but whenever I got into the bathroom and locked the door someone would attack the apartment.

The first attacker came right up to the bathroom window. I shot him in the head and warned the others so they could be on alert. Got back into the bathroom, got undressed, three more attackers at other windows. I walked out naked and dispatched them with a shot to the head each. Then they tried to steal our dog. I ran outside, still naked, and chased their truck down the street. I was never going to catch it, but was able to convince the dog it was safe to jump out onto the grass. He was okay, but shaken up, so I carried him back to the apartment.

Finally I was going to get my shower, but there were two people having sex in the bathroom so I settled for eating a squished cinnamon roll in the hall while I waited.

Dream 02-16-16

There was a fishtank with three fish and a horizontal pane of glass. One fish was agitated and kept trying to get on the other side of the glass, but one of the other fish (a betta) kept moving it. The betta was gripping the edge of the glass with its fins and pushing it back and forth to keep the smaller fish trapped. The third fish was swimming all over cheering on the betta.

There was a small grey cat with white feet and a collar. It ran away from me. I had a bag with some stuff for somebody. I got into a little white car and drove down what looked like the path by our apartment in Germany, except wider. Partway down I realized the trunk was open and got out to shut it. Someone on a bike passed me.



Went to a Target or something to return our pizza spinner. A bunch of other people were, too. After putting the box on the stack I went by the in-store diner because Sandra was working there. She was showing a kid how to make shakes. I heckled her and some guy behind me heard. I told him she was my sister.

Dream 02-10-16

There was some kind of... thing? Someone had done something to this town's water and everyone was acting weird. Not necessarily bad, just off. Many were being quarantined. I think I was Lisa Simpson - except taller. I was making my way around the town on foot trying to make sense of it. I ran into Scooby Doo and had him lead me to "where we could do the most good". He led me to one of the quarantine buildings which was actually a pretty posh spa... but it was packed full of people. We snuck around looking for clues. Unsuccessfully. I tried finding a door to get out, rode an elevator that swayed a little too much. Poor Scooby fell off a stair railing; several in fact. He wasn't hurt and ended up grabbing a talisman shaped like some kind of bird. There was an inscription on the back. I couldn't read it, but he could. It sounded longer than it looked, but when he finished the lady nearest us popped back to normal! We went floor by floor. I got everyone's attention then held Scooby up as high as I could so he could read it. Eventually we got the building cleared out and had to work on a plan for fixing everyone else.

Dream 02-09-16

I was driving to HEB, I think. The road was unfamiliar and had two traffic lights in a row. I ended up running the first red light, but managed to stop in time for the second. Aaron was freaking out and berating me. When I got the car moving again I heard crunching and grinding even though there was no impact and weren't even any cars nearby.

Dream 02-08-16

I was enslaved along with several others. There were seven of us in total, five men and one other woman. We were huddled in a fairly small stone room. One of the men was instructing the rest of us. At one point he paired off the other woman with one of the larger men to instruct us how to fend off a male attacker. She was not doing well so I stepped in. She was too fresh and I felt like I knew this large man from before and believed he would go easier on me. I was mistaken. I held my own for a moment, nearly gained the upper hand, then he called over another very large man and they overpowered me easily - slamming me forcefully onto the hard stone floor and raping me. I didn't fight, couldn't fight, and just waited for it to be over. When it was the one in charge sent me away. I managed to grab the other woman and ran down a hall. No one tried to stop us.

I held onto her wrist and we ran down corridor after corridor, winding this way and that. Finally I saw a glimmer. I'm not sure if it was real or figurative, but beyond an archway and through the darkness was a friendly face. I could sense him. There was also danger. That was obvious the moment we stepped through. There was a winding path with guards and a creature down below. Fortunately it was very dark. Unfortunately we had to dangle from the edge of the path and slowly make our way around. I pulled myself up a few times to check on the guards and was nearly caught once in an unfortunate patch of light.

Luck smiled on us by the time we reached the end. The creature, it looked like an aquatic deathclaw, had managed to climb up onto the path and had decided one of the guards was food. The others ran in that direction. Despite incredible pain and exhaustion I managed to flounder myself up onto the path before helping the other woman do the same. We were at another doorway and I saw a large, stoic dark-skinned gentleman beckoning us through. The friendly face. Again I grabbed the woman and pulled her along with me.

The next room was not really a room. We were climbing along tree branches. It was still mostly dark, and hot. Really hot. It was the heat that woke me up.

Dream 01-27-16

Matt and I were lovers. Actually, at the beginning of the dream we didn't even know each other (odd since we lived very close to each other for a short while - even going to the same school), but once we met we got very close very quickly. This was problematic. Not just because I was married, my husband was never around anyway. His family was a tribe of nomad gypsies, mine was some kind of vampiric witches. The truce between the clans was uneasy at best. We spent most of our time together at his place. The only person around was his little sister and she didn't care about the clan politics.

Aside from being extremely physically close, we also shared parts of our family's rituals with each other. At one point he smeared blood on my arm (just a few drops) while showing me... I think it was some kind of leather shield. He was going to put it on top of the house "like it used to be" for when his brother came back. That's when I remembered seeing the big yellow house with the "big bear shield" as a kid. I think my 'remembering' is also what started the following trouble.

We spent the night curled up together in a big comfy chair. At first light someone kicked in the door and grabbed him. His sister was crying but managed something about someone building some kind of factory on their land? I tried to keep up, but there was a lot of commotion. We ran into a brand-new building, it was large and grey. I thought, "this doesn't make any sense" and suddenly I knew why. It wasn't some weird land takeover. It was a trial. My grandmother saved a seat for me, but then an elder counsel member told me to "grab the counter"... with an unspoken "like when you were a kid". That's when I realized I was the one on trial.

I was forced to stand naked in front of both tribes and the elder counsel with the "counter" and answer an onslaught of very invasive, not to mention painful, questions. Most weren't even about the affair, though some were. It took me a while to piece together, but I was being accused of summoning something. But I didn't! "you've been touched by the blood of a gimp"... I could feel the spot grow warm on my arm, but managed to maintain my composure. The only thing that saved me was the final part of the ritual involved sex. A certain kind. We hadn't had sex, though. My mother snarled, but the counter doesn't lie and I had to be let go. I dropped the counter and it was then that I 'realized' that this was the fourth time my mother had put me through one of these trials, the first when I was maybe four?

I looked to Matt for comfort, but there was none. At some time during the trial he had become cold toward me... or something, because he snapped back and chased after me when I ran (still naked) from the room. I searched for some place to cry in peace, but there was none. He cornered me easily, grabbed my arms and... I don't know. I suddenly found myself in front of a mirror with three blonde women vampire-witches of varying ages. They were talking about their hair. I woke up a little confused and somewhat upset.

Dream 01-23-16

I think I was out in California with Brak and Panda. Not together, just we were all there. Brak and I were supposed to go out to eat, I think, but she got herself whipped up into a hunger frenzy. I was writing about it to someone, but kept screwing up the words. My handwriting was not great.

While Brak ate all the food I ducked out to check on Panda at his apartment/hotel. It was getting late and kind of dark. I tried to call and got no answers. I heard ethereal singing coming from somewhere nearby and rapid footsteps. To my right I saw him coming around the corner looking frenzied; I thought he got locked out of his room, but he said "no". Maybe the singing got to him? Or maybe it was the bear that seemed to come out of nowhere stalking us around a van.

Dream 01-19-16

I was in a fairly swanky neighborhood hanging out with one of my girl friends after school. She reminded me of Bethany (except this girl was from India) and, now that I think about it - I feel like I've dreamt that neighborhood before. The large stone house in the center seems especially familiar. Anyway, mostly we just hung out at her place. She had a lot of brothers, a couple of sisters and her mom was there, too. I don't recall seeing her dad. A couple of times her mom had us help her try to sell these cordless headphones. They were a bit big and heavier on one side because of the battery pack. The first time we went door-to-door, but the second time we weren't allowed to do that anymore. Mostly we walked the neighborhood talking loudly about the headphones trying to catch someone's attention. It didn't work so we just talked about how it was our last semester at school and how we could probably rob some of the bigger houses and no one would notice.



Aaron and I were in a van - I was driving. It was really dark night time, but the neighborhood seemed really familiar. I was driving topless, at one point getting completely naked. I drove aimlessly, partly because I was enjoying myself, partly because I was lost. I wanted Aaron to pleasure me, but he was "doing something" and "didn't want to get caught".

Dream 01-17-16

I went to visit Matt who was living in a super swanky apartment highrise on top of a mall. The furniture was weird, all polished wood and no cushions. We were having a great time, though, just hanging out. I laid down on this very ornate... bench and was about to take a nap when the doorbell rang. I heard a female voice, but didn't think much of it... until she kept getting closer and closer. I scooched along the bench trying to keep some distance between us, but she persisted. Finally I got up and walked to the bathroom. She followed. Everywhere I went she was right behind me chittering away. Finally I asked him what was going on and he said, "I just want you to love her so we can all be together"... I ran. Right out the door. She chased me. For what felt like hours I ran up and down stairs, through the mall, pushing past people. So many stairs... elevators, ramps. Finally I got outside. There was a man with a gun. I told him he wanted the chick behind me. I don't know if he shot her or not, but he didn't shoot me so I kept running trying to stay in the shadows.

Dream 01-14-16

Mom was cleaning out the house. Seriously taking everything out, scrubbing the walls and floors, painting even. I couldn't even question it, just did what I could to help. I opened my car and started putting blankets and couch cushions (from our old, wood-framed couch) in the trunk. A giant roach the size of a dinner plate crawled out of somewhere and I had to use a cutting board to kill it. I was so grossed out I just left it there on the pavement. While I was trying to move the car seats mom came out and angrily shoved an ill-covered plate of food into my hands. She said something about wanting to reheat it and tupperware lids. John and Leila were in a car nearby. Aaron and I went to talk to them. I don't remember what was said, but I left feeling like trash. I noticed a bird pecking at the giant roach. We got into the car and drove off.

I think we ended up at a Walmart in Canada. Nina was working there and so was some guy who looked familiar. Jaime, maybe? There was some big scandal about Walmart taking certain stock, filling up a warehouse and renting it out for bigger profit. It was common knowledge in the dream, and mostly frowned upon, but the employees had to make it sound like a huge great deal and get people to sign up for it. Nina asked if we'd heard about "what they (Walmart) are doing for New Years". I said I had and she got all excited and grabbed a paper to try and sign us up. It was a loan application to entice us to rent more stuff. I kept making excuses when a guy walked by and handed her a piece of paper. It said "they're POOR". She went on a rant about how "you people should have to announce yourselves when you walk in so we don't waste our time". Aaron was incredibly upset and I was mortified. I wanted to retort, but just couldn't...

On the ride back Aaron was about to start in on his "I hate money" rant and I cut him off. I tried explaining how much he could make and all the stuff we could do. We ended up driving home, on an appropriately icy road, in silence.

Dream 01-13-16

I had a fish tank... sort of. It was flimsy plastic and the bottom fell out. I tried hard to save the fish, but then I realized I couldn't put them in just any water. I fixed the tank and got it ready for new fish. They came like brine shrimp all dehydrated in bottles and came back to life when I put them in the water.

Dream 01-11-16

I was running and gunning through this huge, old, messed up building Fallout-style. It was dark, which helped my stealth. The thing I din't get is that I was hiding from (and shooting at) my friends, too. I don't know what happened, but I was in a panic to get away from everyone. Whenever I heard someone I recognized I hid deep in the comforting shadows hoping they would go away. If they persisted I had no problem dispatching them. I could see, and grab if I wanted, stuff that was in drawers or boxes - just like the game. In one eerily moonlit room, however, I came upon a locked desk drawer. I tried to pick the lock, but couldn't figure out how to get it to work. I couldn't stay there all day, so I left down a dark, empty hall and made my way onto a rickety bridge outside. I shot at, and missed, an enemy three times before waking up.

There was some kind of disaster. Earthquake, maybe? Sandra was missing. I guess it was dark when we went looking and mom said we (she?) couldn't get into the school where she was supposed to be. It felt like days later when she decided to find someone "official" for help. On the way to (or back from) the offices I decided that I had to check the building myself. There were people going in and out, so I went in. It was pretty crowded and seemed like the kids thought they had formed their own community. I didn't find her before I woek up, but I remember thinking she could have been there because of the Girl Scout rule that if you get lost or separated just stay where you are.

Dream 01-09-16

There was a part where I was texting Billy and he was super excited about talking to some other chick who had three nipples... or boobs... not really sure. He just kept bringing her up.

Most of the dream was me, my mom and my sisters were "babysitting" some store. It was like a movie theater with part of a Walgreens in the back. It was really dark, nearly pitch black, and at one point I was sure everyone was asleep so I started just grabbing stuff and putting it in my backpack. At one point my mom woke up and turned on the lights, but no one caught me and she was just trying to change the movie or something.

Dream 01-05-16

In the beginning there was some guy that disappeared. People weren't sure if we were going to be okay, but we were. There was some other guy who was being mean to everybody, and I tried to keep everyone cheery and together. There was a weird exercise machine on a hill that looked like a large alien bug that I was trying to teach this girl how to use.

At one point I was in a public bathroom. I snuck into a stall that was behind the normal row of stalls so I could eavesdrop on a conversation two other ladies were having, but then a group of people came in and the front of my stall came off. I tried to hold it up, but it was warped and broken.

There was more. A part with some kind of housing simulation and a part when I think I was working in a grocery store, but I don't remember much else.

Dream 01-04-16

So many bits and pieces. I remember a stack of boxes. Big stack. I tried to move them and discovered they were hiding a door or something. There was some kind of clinic. Something about a little girl. I think it rained.

Dream 01-01-16

There was a movie playing on the wall to my right. I hope it was a movie, because it was pretty disturbing. There were several sick, elderly Asian women with vacant eyes being "treated" by someone "off camera". Some women had hot pans pressed to their ears, I think others were being electrocuted. I tried not to look, but I could tell it was still playing.
