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...
