Dream 01-07-12

I think I started on some kind of cruise ship. I think it was a big group trip, like a field trip or something. We hadn’t departed yet so I was walking along the railing just looking at the water for a bit while the rest of the people were getting on board. Clint came up and we started talking for a bit. He mentioned needing or forgetting something and since we had time (I assumed) I offered to drive him out to get it. We were making our way through the Carrollton neighborhood (or near it) when he said it was further out. I started driving faster. I thought we were going to Wal-mart maybe, but we ended up at some kind of shack out in the boonies. There was an ill-tempered older lady and a younger lady. I think I took my shoes off because of all of the mud, because I remember putting my shoes back on when he came back out of the house. I think we got in the car, but I don’t think we made it back to the cruise ship.

The next thing I remember is standing outside of Ahtram and Melissa’s place. They were living with another couple and two little kids, boys, and it was really late at night. I snuck in. I’m not sure why. The house was almost like a maze with doors and halls everywhere. I made it back towards their bedroom where Melissa was sleeping. She woke up and saw me and I made the “sssshhhhhh” sign. She smiled and nodded before going to the bathroom. We sat on one of the kid’s beds to talk for a bit when Ahtram came in and I made the “sssshhhhhh” sign again. He nodded and sat on the floor next to us. Then while we were in the middle of the conversation (I don’t know what we were talking about) the lady of the couple came in. I didn’t have time to hide, but she didn’t quite freak out the way I expected her to. Before even meeting her I didn’t really like her, but then I saw her and liked her even less. It wasn’t because of the way she looked, just this energy she had around her. She was putting one of the boys to bed and then just invited herself into the conversation. I was about to leave because I did not want to talk to her. Last thing I remember is looking at my socks. I guess I had taken my shoes off again.

Started out at some kind of service kiosk. Dad was standing there with me for a while before he left. I was dropping a car off to get something fixed. It was a slow day so the lady was able to fit me in immediately. She started saying something about natural disasters and so I chatted with her for a bit. There were some teenagers. in the line. There was something off about them, but I didn’t think they were dangerous. Just…. off. I headed down the street. I think Sandra lived next door to us. To me, at least. I’m not sure who all lived where exactly. But Sandra was setting up for some party. I think it may have been her birthday. Even so she was kind of young to be living on her own. Anyway, there was a fish tank outside and two huge metal drums in the driveway. They were actually metal drum casings, inside were multiple different xylophone bars arranged in sets. I grabbed a drum stick and started trying to hit the bars, but it sounded so bad. I gripped the stick differently and that sounded a little better, but I couldn’t keep hold of it. Then Paul showed up and started laughing. I explained that’s why I never played, because I couldn’t keep a grip so it never sounded right. I was a little wistful because I was sure if Eleanor was there she could have made them sound fantastic.

I left for a while, I’m pretty sure I ran into the teenagers again, but I don’t think anything came of it. I went back to the kiosk, but they were very busy this time and the lady didn’t have a chance to get to me. Sandra showed up saying she was sorry I missed the party, but she had a cup with some fish in it for me. The prizes that didn’t get won. I went back towards home and the drums were still set up. Paul was playing one of them and I was suitably impressed. I had forgotten he was in band, too. He was setting up some background rhythms with an electronic keypad attached to the drum. I sat and watched for a while then went inside so I could find a baggie for the fish so I could start acclimating them to my tank. This ended up being difficult. There was some side-project going on, but I can’t remember what it was. I think I was going to take a trip. There were also a couple of cats that kept following me around and getting in the way. One of them was really fat. Or perhaps dense? She had a certain kind of presence.

I was at an old house for some kind of flea market or garage sale. I had been there in a dream before, no problem. And I’m pretty sure last time we went through the house in groups as well. This time I didn’t find much except for some eye shadow that was really candy. I talked to a couple of people. Ahtram was there and he was complaining saying someone else (someone specific) should have been there instead and I told him I had just seen that person (I forget who) there yesterday. I also talked to a lady who was a contestant on one of those cooking challenge shows. She was pretty nice. Anyway, after the buying tour I stayed after to wait for some friends who were still going through. The seats we were waiting in (those of us who were) were church seats. There were people worshipping in part of the building and apparently the “shopping” group got too loud and was kicked out. I was about to leave with the rest, but I noticed a blind man (about my age, maybe younger because I may have been younger in the dream; and not too bad looking) trying to go through the shopping tour. Because the building was so crowded with stuff and there were stairs and walls everywhere he was having a hard time, but nobody else noticed. So I helped him out and even carried him part of the way when he (jokingly) said something about how hard the stairs were. Which part of them were, they were practically a ladder they were so steep. By the time we made it through (he didn’t buy anything either) I think he was going to ask me out or something, but then I woke up.



Aaron and I had a little cubby in our home with several computer terminals and beds and little swivel stools on the floor. We had the computers set up to look at all kinds of different stuff. Including porn. A couple of people passed through, mostly in the bathroom where I’m pretty sure I saw dad, but the only one that ended up staying for a while was Josh. I think he was about to jump on me when suddenly he said “goddamnit Merle!” and ran out of the house. I was a bit confused and followed him. Turns out he had some kind of big truck (not a semi, but close) and Merle (from Walking Dead) was his cousin or something and was sitting in the truck waiting for him. They exchanged words and the truck started moving so I tried to move this red convertible that was in the driveway out of the way. I got it moving up the driveway but then it started rolling back down again. Someone (I don’t know who) started pushing it back up. I pulled what I thought was the emergency brake, but that didn’t do anything.

At one point I remember being at a gas station. I was getting gas. The inside was L-shaped and the guy running the place had three different cash registers going for different purchases. One for gas, one for food and one for other stuff.

Dream 01-03-12

I think at some point it was my birthday? There was some kind of philanthropic Hindu or Buddhist monk who was obsessed with weddings and was working on mine. I heard a rumor that if I fell asleep while he was working on something he’d do it all for free. I think Saleen may have been there. I know there was a lot more, but I can’t remember now.

Dream 01-02-12

I think I was in another video game. I was driving around very erratically and talking to someone trying to get information about the map. There was a warehouse and I was hiding under the stairs. The “enemies” walking over me to get into the building so I was trying to stay hidden. I had kind of a HUD and I could see their red dots on it. I was texting somebody (possibly the same map person) and making a joke about Jet being “one of them” or something. They were actual words on the screen that I could read. I even remember backspacing a couple of times and fixing what I said so it would make more sense.

There were cats and small dogs milling around through most of it. Started out in this small town where Aaron and I had this barn. Barry was down to visit and I went up into the hayloft to show him, but there were wasps and hornets everywhere. I managed to outmaneuver them while Aaron started spraying and killing them. There was a part where mom was there and she wanted me to pick up a few things. I was looking at this giant wall of plastic jewelry but didn’t end up getting anything. There was a guy who needed a ride to the T-Mobile building to trade in his phone and the creepy guy from the McDonald’s in Wal-Mart was working there. I got bored waiting (since I didn’t know where the Sears in this town was and mom wanted a sales paper from there) so I went inside with a tray of cheesecake squares and started giving them to people. That was kind of the weird part at the end. From outside it didn’t look like anybody was in there, but when I went in there was a lady with some kids and a couple and another guy.
