Thread: Adventures in Dreamfollowing

I can remember 6 dreams from last night:
1. I am with the 4 celebrating St's birthday. she gets some plastic sunglass pieces and they all act like they're lame.
2. I am at my parents house in my old rooms, getting ready for work. I have a short skirt on but look out the window and see it's snowing so I go to find pants to change into.
3. JC is fighting someone and gets beat up. his son shows up with two oxen pulling a flatbed which they ride home. JC asks where the tent is and son says we unloaded it at home. JC seems to think they will need it. then a giant white fluffy dog is coming after them. it is destroying things and crushing people but just playing. it comes towards us, and we hide. it turns the other way and we hurry to move away from it.
4. JC is playing with a band, but it doesn't sound live, it sounds flat and tinny like a bad recording. they play a few songs, then More than Words, then break up and JC plays a christmas song.
5. I am working in a clothing store at a mall. I have 2 shirts I want to buy for 2 dollars each from a shop across the way but the shops are closed, the women who run them are sick. then I'm driving around cg and I see a guy in a green bigfoot suit.
6. we are somewhere and JC is telling us he was working in the yard of Js parents with someother people. he talks about the man who he thought was mowing,he was going really fast and he wasn't surprised but then saw it was his wife and we all laughed. then we're in a car and my mom asks how well I know JC and another lady asks about my kids. I tell her he has two kids, not me, I have two dogs.

I am Harry Potter and I'm in the library with some other students. We look up 'Ron' in a really old dictionary and find an elaborate entry about Ron with charms and decorations. Hermione put it there. we ask her about it and she acts embarrassed and says, I did it in my first year here, it was the trend to put entries of your friends in the dictionary. We look up Hermione and there is an entry for her too, with a definition and history of the name. we leave to pack to go somewhere, saying goodbye to a teacher we are familiar with, using his first name. I go to pack extra clothes, we'll be gone overnight somewhere.

As much as I don't like Harry Potter dreams, that one was pretty interesting. I like the dream wiki entries.

J and I are in a shopping center. we go to a counter with a Simpsons display under glass. we are trying to organize it and put characters back in, I stack them all on top of each other. J has a gun and is trying to find a place to turn it back in to get a deposit. he keeps going to the wrong counter and they won't give it to him. then we are outside. there is a car with an opening in the top and a bunch of kittens are stuffed in there together sleeping. there are a bunch of ducklings heading towards a pond. then another group of slightly bigger ones are walking around. we start to pick them up and take them to a different pond where they'll be safe. there is room for all but one. some ladies from work and I are crocheting flowers for the pond. mine is blue and all the others are pinks and oranges so I decide to make a new one that will match.

J and I are sleeping on the floor of the guest room in my parents house. the room is huge and has carpet like grass. there isn't much furniture but a few tables. we try to fall asleep when a voice comes from one of the electronics nearby. it says a warning, something is not working and makes some sarcastic remark. J gets up to see what's wrong. my mom comes upstairs. I go to use the bathroom. I come back and J is vaccuming. I tell him we should go back to bed but then notice it's light out. I say I'll never go back to sleep now, we may as well stay up. I look outside a window and see a brick house with nice landscaping. I am on the bottom floor now. everything is green outside but it's snowing and I see a red tree near a fountain with 5 streams of water that have frozen. I comment that it looks really cool and I should take a picture of it. I pick up vaccuming now and SSSC are there. there are a bunch of small toys on the floor and I'm trying to avoid them. the vaccum is having trouble picking up piles of grass. I tell everyone to pick up everything on the floor that's not trash. later, J and I are at a bar where everyone is dressed in 1800s clothes. we go around a corner and come back and the barman is different and now everyone is in 1980s clothes. the barman has a pink mohawk. we ask about the other guy and he says, there's a picture of that guy down there, from 1517. we say we must be time traveling.

J and I are at an office building, in one room is a nursery. we have returned from somewhere and are waiting to hear news of E, who is being a surrogate mother to our child. we find out that while we were away she had the baby and no one told us. it was a girl and she named her curly from the three stooges.

J and I are flying around an island city which J owns or is president of or something. I am sort of controlling this dream, thinking of things and they change. we change from riding a broom to a sort of speeder bike. I imagine us landing on a high cliff over the island with trees around and we do.

J and I go into a junk shop and look around. we see a shelf full of parts to those pooh tree houses. MS from work is there wearing a suit with apple cufflinks. he is missing one and asks J to come upstairs and help him find it. apparently we both work there. a customer wants to check out but I haven't learned to use the cash register yet. a girl with glasses comes and shows me and another guy how it works.

I am looking for a book I used to have in my dream by tony diterrlizzi of alphabet animals. we are wanting to see one in particular for an art style. I spend the whole dream looking in different closets and the basement for the book and never find it.

I am putting on a mermaid costume for a party. I'm worried it wont fit. It has a white shirt with it that I put on, it is tight and see through. I put another white shirt on under it then the mermaid bra top. the costume also has fake eyes but I decide to just use the lashes. my grandpa is there. he asked me to undo the dress he's wearing in the back so he can go to the bathroom.

I am riding in a car with L from work. the road we're on is over grown with tall grass and there are lots of branches in the road.

I am in a large room with lots of other people held hostage. there is one main bad guy and some guards. the group is divided in half, the guard at the front of our group is wearing business casual clothes and holding a gun. s from work sneaks over to me and hands me a gun under a stack of papers. then our group gangs up and starts moving toward the guard. he looks nervous. a few guys in front pull out circular saws and start cutting him around the legs. he just stands there trying not to show he's in pain because the main guy will notice. then the main guy starts shooting a gun towards the crowd that sends little explosives. one lands near me and I kick it away. it doesn't do much damage when it goes off. then I see a clear way to escape and start running. I tell people to come along but they mostly just sit there watching the bad guys.

I am sitting in a church like building in rows with other people. I have a small plastic bag that says instant dress or something like that. TS from work is sitting next to me and takes it and opens it. it is a purple plastic evening dress with a pattern and chocolates printed on it. I say 'I dare you to wear that tomorrow.'

I was practising staying conscious as I fell asleep but instead of a WILD I just went from the buzzing into a regular dream. I was lying on a couch at my parents house and we were trying to sleep. my mom came in to wake me and ask if I was going to a Bible study before work. I said no I wanted to go back to sleep. then we hear loud voices and singing in a room next door. the room looks like the inside of a bus. people from my work are there.

I am Ginny weasley and Harry and I are running from a dementor. it looks like a grey ghost type thing, I think it was on a horse. I realize that since voldemort had possessed me,he can see harry through my eyes and the dementor is chasing him. I try not to look at harry and yell for him to run ahead. then a fat toady guy is there and seems to be controlling the dementors. I try to distract him by leading him through a room full of large mushrooms growing. I pick up some and smash them in his face as he chases me. he doesn't seem to mind and starts eating them. then we're at a worksite with some large equipment. Harry is trying to switch places with a worker to throw the toady guy off. we get on a tractor with a trailer and strap in. we get ready to drive off and the worker comes over with the toady guy. he says, not very convicinly, sorry, I foiled your plan. we drive off and I'm trying to push the guy off but he holds on tight.

J and I are in a room with several people and computers. the tech guy where I work is there, telling people to turn off their computers and take them with them so he can do some maintenance. I start saving stuff and go to shut down but it won't let me, it's looking for some lost file. I get it to give me some info on the file, and it tells me when it was downloaded, the size and an image, it's a photo of george cloony and another guy. it was corrupted during download so I have to find it and throw it away in order to shut down. I'm doing a search for the file and feeling rushed, like I'm forgetting something important.

WILD: I slip into a dream state and feel like I'm floating around but everything is black. I imagine trees, like I'm in a forest. the trees appear below me like I'm flying over them. I think, I'm going to fall to earth in a big crater like on stardust, then I see a bright light on the ground. I land nearby and go to the light. I don't remember what the light is, maybe a big rock. there is a puppy there, like a yellow lab. she seems lost so I pick her up. she is very soft and hot from being near the light. I see a tiny glowing stone on the ground, then another further away, and more on in a row down a path. they lead in two directions away from the big light/rock. I follow one into more darkness. we go through what seems like a covered bridge. I am talking to the puppy and say, I think I can see some light ahead and immediately, light shows ahead like the sun starting to come up. it gets lighter fast and we go out the other end of the tunnel. we are at a beach and some other people are around. there are beds of beautiful colorful flowers and where the water meets the shore I can see lots of colorful exotic fish. one man catches a big round one, comments how great they all are then throws it back. I walk out onto a pier and don't remember any more.

I am supposed to plan a birthday celebration for JC. I get sent to the bank to get a special money order but it's not called that or a cashiers check. I go outside and it's cold and snowy and I don't have a coat. I think, it's so nice inside, too bad it's so cold outside. I walk down the sidewalk by the store in cg. there are christmas decorations, characters stuck on the sidewalk. then me and someone else are in an art room. the students and artwork look like they're from the 80s. everyone is intensely working, in fast forward on paintings and stuff. one guy is working on several paintings at once. except one guy with long messy hair. he's sitting at a desk drawing on notebook paper. we go to him and he gives us something. I have an envelope from cc with a check for $3044 and ask if it's for him. they sort of shrug and nod so I hand it to him and say thanks for what youve done for us. he seems surprised. we get outside and realize the check is not for him, we see him and try to get it back but he puts up a fight. he runs off toward the bank where he's going to try and cash it with false id. I tell Jeff to follow him since he has real id. they almost get run over in the road.

I am getting dressed for my wedding, straightening my hair with a curling iron. my hair is really long. the curling irons thumb protector comes off so I have trouble using it. I use it to iron out a crease in the bottom of my dress. it lands on the floor in some water and starts sizzleing and doesn't stop. people come in and are worried but it's not hurt too bad, just the edging came off.

J and I had the same dream of trying to make each other quit smoking (neither of us smoke or ever would.) his was more involved and took place in the car, mine was at home and shorter, there were ash trays everywhere and everything stunk.

I am in a town, a big parking lot near a school or something. I am watching a commercial but it is taking place in front of me. In it, several cars are doing amazing stunts, flipping through the air and carrying each other around. then at the end it changes to a little boy playing with toy cars, he was making them do those things. it was a commercial for toy cars.

I am at church and someone calls me into a room where a girl is having a fit. I am a teacher or something. I go talk to her, she wants to wear a halloween costume but they won't let her. I give her a pair of mickey mouse ears and she calms down. then another girl gets some too but she has to wear a pair of underwear on her head to hold it on. It is raining, my hair is wet and I'm in the parking lot looking for people from my class to give me a ride. instead I ride with my dad. we drive around the building and see a amy w. walking with an umbrella. it looks like part of her butt is showing under her jacket and she has a big ice cream cone tattoo. we get closer and I see it's on her dress. along side the building three different families are set up selling puppies. my dad is telling me about some weird max lucado activity they did in sunday school where they built a model of his shoulders out of paper.

I am in a small room with a sort of cabinet. on top of the cabinet is a large silver fluffy cat. he is very affectionate and has extra toes on his front feet. I pet him and really want to take him home. a man there says Id never afford him, he's a siberian. the cat is really loveable and crawling into my arms. we have to leave so we go outside and we're at a boat dock. we get on a carrier type thing and start to float away. a german shepherd is back at the door locking it so the man can't get back in.

I am in a big cafeteria type room. people from work are there working on embroidery and asking me questions about it. one person asks how to do hair and I find a pencil and pad of paper to draw it.

I am driving in a car pulling crazy stunts and nearly missing cars around me. then someone else is driving and we are in a parking lot with several small houses. Jennys house in CA is one of them. it is small but has a nice garden and is not too close to any other houses. we go in and then it is ricks house. his wife and my parents are there and we're talking about having wine.
I am riding a motorcycle around a department store. it has mostly clothes so I leave and ride down a strip mall to a restaurant in the corner. I go in to a table where people are waiting. some women are laughing about getting old. P from work and another guy come and sit on either side of me, they are both talking/flirting with me.

WILD: I slip into the HG stage and wonder if I'm dreaming or not so I lift my arm. I try to put it back down but it floats back up. I grab my other arm and it feels normal so I decide it's real. I should have plugged my nose. I lie in bed and start to hear voices, children talking and shouting. I tell myself it's in my head. I roll over to J and ask why he left the tv on. he says, al gore was going to be on pokemon. then it turns into a dream but not lucid. we are in the bedroom and there's a sheet hanging over the doorway.

my mom and I are in a farmer store. my pants are too big and keep falling down and I'm looking for a bathroom to adjust them. my mom goes in a door to another room. I go catch up with her. there are tables with crates of baby chicks. we go look at them, I pick one up. there are also crates of other baby animals, even moles. I wonder why someone would buy a baby mole. I pick up a bunny from a box of bunnies. we walk past a cage with several large dogs. they seem restless. I feel bad for them.

I am at work returning with a group of people from somewhere. we're in a large room like a warehouse. some people are gathering for a meeting sitting on the floor. they start talking about something businessy and I excuse myself. I join another meeting a little ways away with my coworkers. MB is leading it and it's a discussion about not cutting pictures out of books and magazines. people are argueing that it should be allowed. I want to say, you could just scan it in then it won't destroy the book for others. the meeting ends and I go back to my desk. I notice banners hanging up advertising the meeting I just went to, they say prince on them. my desk is in a different place with low walls. some others are sitting right behind me. I'm packing up my bag and some girls come over and are waiting for me. we go sit at a lunch table. at the table next to me another group of girls are watching one girl unwrap a barbie. she is very solomn and doesn't say a word. the barbie has a weird genie outfit with gold straps around her and her mouth looks like a robot with slits on the sides. she is a transformer barbie.

after work I go to a pool. there is no one around. I'm looking for the changing room. there are doors down some cavelike halls but the signs are not very clear as to which is the mens or womens. they have close up drawings of children's faces on them. then a lady comes out and gives me my papers for membership. then several people start showing up. school is out and kids are coming. I think, if I want the pool to myself I'll have to get here before school lets out. I am in my swimsuit now and vaguely realize I don't remember changing and might be dreaming. everyone is floating in the pool taking up a lot of space. they are all sleeping. when I get it they tell me to be quiet and still.

I'm at my parents house, Jody is there with a book of photos she's having printed. my dad and I are looking at it, it has low quality photos that look digitized. we try to tell her that we could set it up to look better but she doesn't want to listen. I go upstairs to get ready for work. my curling iron is broken and falls in the sink and gets wet. my dog is lying on the floor.

J and I are in a grocery store, we have left a pile of food at one checkout to go look for some other things. we come back and the guy is still there waiting a little impatient so I get ready to pay. I bend over and see my wallet stuck up under the counter. I ask the guy to get it for me and wonder how it got there or who put it there. I wake up before I can check if anything is missing.

my two cousins and I are in a kitchen with a large island in the middle. I am making cambric tea and I give them two old fashioned looking cups full. they don't like it so go to throw it out without even tasting it. my uncle finishes both cups off with a spoon. then we are eating krispy kreme donuts, they are hot and glaze is dripping off into a big pile. we dip pieces of donut into the extra glaze. then we're watching something about a new movie. we're in a church and it says jars of clay will be playing the parents. we think it's weird then see the guy from joc in the role. there is a pomeranian playing under the rows of pews with some pieces of string.

my dad and I are on a back porch of a house. I am talking to stacie on the phone. she tells me their mom has told them to make some money this afternoon so do we have any jobs for them. I ask my dad and he says the neighborhood might pay them to clear a big ditch behind the houses where branches and stuff are. they want to clear it out to put ground coral there as a drainage ditch. I think coral is not the best thing to use as gravel, it's hard to come by andmay even be endangered. I tell stacie then I'm looking in a full length mirror. Im wearing an aqua tshirt and long skirt. I think, I want to be like their mom if I ever am one, she is fun a good friend and always giving them smart projects to do.

J and I are in a store where they're selling my book. the woman at the counter knows us and is copying patterns out of the book. I tell her I hope she doesn't have trouble with them at that size, they were ment to be copied larger. there is a spinning rack with books on it and a bunch of kids around and I try to see if my book is there but don't see it. then everyone is gone and I'm changing my clothes for some reason, hiding behind the rack. then I'm putting stuff in a cupboard with a sliding door that wont stay closed. the cupboard is talking to me in a womans voice trying to instruct me. finally I pull it all the way out and roll it up at the bottom. I have a tiny round box that I put on a brochure of cards. some of the cards are 3D.
