Jan 1st 2008

*coughing kept waking me
>early to bed and late to rise 7 hrs spotty sleep


1- Daeva Online

Woke up at some point during the night and simply remember dreaming of chatting very extensively with Daeva. Can't remember what we were talking about.


2- School Bathroom

Was at some sort of pep rally. I grew bored and left to find the bathroom. There were only two stalls and both were in use. I grabbed some paper towels and started making origami animals out of it while waiting for the people to come out of the stalls.


3- The Small Bus

I had to catch my Niece's bus to go to her school for something. I was late, ran through the snow to get to the bus stop but missed it. I continued walking and when the bus came back around the corner it picked me up.
Other adults were packed onto the bus. They were singing kids songs and at one point the bus driver pulled over and made us all take turns reading a book out loud. I felt stupid beyond belief because I couldn't make sense of the jumbled letters in the book.


4- The Mall Ferret

I walked to a very large mall and as I entered it's doors I saw a white ferret trying to get out. It was my ferret, I picked her up, she was spattered with mud.
I took her to the nearest bathroom and put her in the sink and washed her off. A girl next to me offered to help and together we lathered up the little rodent and got her clean again.



5- Wind Wind Go Away

Was a kid at my aunt B's. A bunch of us were in T's play house that rocked in the rabid wind. Across the field an old barn collapsed. They started singing, 'Wind, wind, go away. Come again another day.."
I then had the brilliant idea to fly, ran out into the wind, spread my arms and the wind carried me up into the sky. The other kids were amazed but were afraid to try.
To get back down I imagined I was landing in a pile of bird down and that's what it felt like as I fell back to earth. One of the other kids wanted to fly, I grabbed a big plastic shopping bag and let the wind catch that and it carried me up into the air again. It took me toward power lines though so I let go, went back and tried to get the others to fly with me.


6- Music and Choking Brad Pitt

I was outside a huge plantation type property. There was a piano on the lawn and I fiddled with it, jotting down strands of music. The keys were different colours and also numbered and instead of music notes I wrote down numbers across the page, jotted them down like they were equations. This made sense to me but to no one else.
A guy who looked like Brad Pit came along and accused me and someone else of cheating. He went after the other person first, I ignored him and continued writing music. He then came to me and tried to snatch my music book out from under my nose. I held tight to it and we had a tug of war over the book.
I finally snapped, stood, grabbed a heavy binder and whipped it at his face. He ducked and took off. I grabbed another book and chased him around, clubbing the hell out of him with it. He doubled back, grabbed my music book but fell, sent it skidding across the floor. I retrieved it, stashed it safely away then jumped on the guy, knocked him to the floor and started drilling him in the face with my fist. That didn't seem to do very much so I started choking him, my nails latched immovably into his throat as I continually berated him while he died.

*alarm woke me from this dream and I was still pissed off for a few seconds after waking

Fancy fancy, having the ~'s. Glad to see you decided to put up a new journal for this year and yeah this post is totally to get a subscription/first post here

Why hello there glittery one.
Welcome to my new digs.
If I didn't know any better I'd think you were stalking me.



Wed Jan 2nd

((So much for more detailed... lost my original notes))

1- Shooting Ferret-roaches

Was taking photos of MJ with some semi famous guy. I directed them down a cobble stoned alley and started firing off pics like no tomorrow.
Under some old cars there were these odd half ferret, half insect looking things that scurried all over. I'd never seen anything like them and thinking they were a new species of creature I started taking photos of the odd animals instead.
MJ and the guy were annoyed by this and left as I followed the little creatures through the city.
((missed out on annoying sibling induced lucidity))


2- Construction with D

At a construction site with D. He was the supervisor and was ordering everyone about.
I was supposed to be shingling but it seemed to me that D was taking extra care to piss me off by pointing out my non constructing skills to everyone else.
I threw in the hammer, literally. I tossed it though the rafters and climbed down. I just sat back and watched everyone else slave for him, totally ignoring D when he'd try order me back to work.


3- My Corvette

I was shopping for an extended period with some family members.
When we were done we all retreated to our vehicles. I made my way to a deep red corvette and loaded my stuff into the trunk. Everyone gathered around and asked when I'd got the car and for the life of me, I couldn't recall purchasing it.
We all went back into the store to shop for some clothes. When I came out into the parking lot I nearly had a heart attack, my pretty car was gone. I ran frantically around the lot searching for it, opening the car doors of other vehicles and asking if their occupants had seen what happened to my car.


4- Aunt B's and the Shrunken Big D

At my aunt's place. I didn't feel I was welcome as people went about their businesses as if I wasn't there.
I tried to call for a ride out of the place but the telephone didn't want to work. I sat dejectedly on the couch as everyone passed me by.
After a while the phone rang. I answered and it immediately switched to an answering machine. It was T's boyfriend saying a bunch of idiotic stuff that made no sense but made me laugh. Only when I started laughing did anyone in the house notice me. They took the telephone.
My cousin Big D showed up. I rushed up and asked her for a ride home. She said sure, after a game of cards. I was amazed that she was so thin. She was only a shadow of her former self and the sight of her was kind of disturbing.

Maybe I am stalking you.

Regardless, I'll be enjoying my new dream corvette...thanks for it

Enjoy that car while dream you is still in driving condition.



Thurs Jan 3rd

> 1:30 - 8am
> Mel.


1- Chatham St Apt.

Was living at one of my old apts except it was much nicer and larger. I had all of the curtains drawn and was being careful to pretend I wasn't home.
Knocking came and through the curtain that draped over the window in my front door I could see the silhouette of an adult and a child. I didn't answer.
As the forms moved away I realized they were my sis MJ and my niece N. I rushed to the door and opened it, ended up walking with them to a park. I pushed N's buggy, it was incredibly small and I had to hunch over considerably as I walked along.
((another sibling induced LD chance missed))


2- The Baby Bed

Was somewhere very public, a mall or something. I went into the bathroom and there was a large mattress inside. Upon it were naked babies and people would walk up and pick a child an leave.
I knew the babies were left there by parents who didn't want them. Random people would then come along and select a baby and simply take it. I found this rather disturbing but knew I couldn't do anything about it.


3- Infested Closet

Again, I clenaed my room. I moved to the closet. I started to clean it, when I picked a box off the middle of the floor there was a pile of white and brown maggots squirming in what looked like a partially liquidized pile of feces.
Disgusted I backed away and then noticed there were several largish brown segmented cocoons all over the place. One split up the middle and some white stuff puffed out of it. I backed out of the closet and told someone in the room with me about the stuff inside there.
I decided I needed to get rid of all the creatures in there so I went back in. Most of the cocoons were broken open and the maggot pile had decreased. I watched as another cocoon split up it's middle. The white stuff puffed out and to my amazement a white and purple kitten appeared. I scooped it up and wondered where the rest of the Cocoon Cats had gone.

The one image that stayed strongly with me


4- The Bubbly Cliff - DILD

Don't recall how I came to this scene but I was very high up on a sloped ledge. Below a very shallow river wound through the landscape. Jagged rocks jutted up on either side of the rivers banks.
Someone was with me and we were discussing the river. DC mentioned that the river looked like the one from Deliverance. This made me laugh. I knew there was no way it was the river from that movie.
The slope was suddenly very narrow and had bubble shaped rocks all over it. We slipped down the ledge and were left dangling at it's very edge, the river hundreds of feet below us.
"This can't be happening." I yelled. "I'm not stupid enough to climb out onto ledges."
I started fighting my way up the slope again, using the bubbly rock as hand grips. The rock was very slippery though and as I swung my leg up to pull myself back to semi saftely I slipped and was left dangling in an even worse position than I had originally been in. Like a backhand I remembered a thread I responded to about heights in DV, that next time I was up someplace stupidly high I should know I was dreaming.

"It's a dream." I yelled to the person dangling beside me. "We can drop off the ledge and we'll be okay."

The other person refused.

"Watch, I'll pull the river up closer to us and we can drop down into it."

I looked down and indeed the drop had lessened by about 3 quarters. It was still a considerable fall to take and I tried to talk DC into dropping with me. It wouldn't. It told me to go first. I decided to just do but as I looked down at the river again it had dropped away to even farther than it had been. This unnerved me and I doubted I could survive the drop even though I knew I was dreaming. I verbally argued with myself then that I could do it but I couldn't bring myself to let go of the ledge and ended up simply waking.

@Infested Closet - Gross, until kittens started coming out of the cocoons. What is it with you and purple kittens?

Two dreams involved kids/babies? Geez..way to waste dreams.

Fri Jan 4th

>2:30am - 8:30 am

*had recalled a bunch of dreams but couldn't find my bedside journal. I laid back down to recall where I'd put it and fell back to sleep. Lost all the dreams and could only recall the ones I had as I overslept

1- Haunted House

Went through a cheesy haunted house with some little kid hanging on my hand. The place felt familiar and I knew what was lurking around every corner.
We came to a room that was pitch black and the kid was scared. I told it not to worry as I lead it through the dark.
The lights suddenly came on and we were standing in a pool of what looked like blood. The kid started screaming and I said, "It's not real. None of this is real." The child calmed and we continued on.
I ended up physically wrestling around with one of the haunted house creatues as it had elbowed me in the back and annoyed me.


2- Spider Fest

I laid on a mattress on the floor of a place I used to live. As I was watching television I felt a burning pain on my arm. I looked and there was a tiny black 4 legged spider biting me. I squashed it and wondered if it had been a black widow.
As I was showing someone else the bite I noticed there were all sorts of spiders all over the carpet. Most were fighting each other but some i knew were just waiting to attack us. I got up and tried to stomp on them but they all were too fast.
