Dream Log #10

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay in between posts. Just been having another round of dreamless sleeps and otherwise boring things going on at the moment. I remember this one being sorta long, but I only remember the last few bits of it.

 I was in some sort of ruined temple (again, I've been playing too many video games lately) and suddenly I see a quest pop up to my right. So even though I can move around in first person and know that I'm myself, I see a quest log to my right of the "screen". There are these little shiny white birds flying around that I was supposed to be catching for this quest, but if I wasn't fast enough, they'd turn gray and die. As I was trying to do this, the room fills up maybe a few inches with water, but I didn't notice until a blowfish wriggles onto the platform I'd been standing on and tries to eat the little birds that were hopping around on the ground. I remember being particularly disgusted by the typical fish-gasping-for-air look and kinda scrambled away from it. I then made the comment "Well, at least he's small" to myself, and then I realized my horrible mistake. By then I knew I was dreaming, so I sort of backed away from the fish to one of the exits of the room. He said something to me, but I can't quite remember what it was, and right after water started pouring from his mouth at a scarily rapid rate.

I ran into the next room, only to find that a chasm was blocking me from going any further. When I turned around, the fish was now considerably large, and when he opened his mouth in that terrible gape again, it took up almost the entire doorway. The water had risen by then, so I was pulled with the current towards the fish. As he swallowed me, I tried to alt+f4, even though they wasn't a keyboard or computer in sight. The strange part was that I didn't end up in his belly or anything, I was back in the room and the fish's mouth had some sort of weird portal spinning in the middle of it, so I grabbed his uvula and pulled it back, causing him to essentially swallow himself. He returned back to his tiny form before disappearing under the water shortly after. Then I woke up going "What the fuck?" as I normally do.

Another weird one, eh? Seems to be my specialty. Have you ever dreamed that you were inside of a video game, or played one so much that you dreamed of it? Let me know in the comments!

Dream Log #9

Hey everyone! Seems like my dreams are coming back on a regular basis! I'm really glad I'm updating this thing a lot more than I did before. Last night's dream was a little weird, but not as long as the last one.

Apparently, a friend of mine that I haven't seen for a really long time was wanting to take me to get a massage and other girly things I usually never think about doing. As we were walking down the street towards the building, I noticed that it looked like it was inflated, like one of those play-house things you rent for little kids' birthday parties. We head in and find that not only do they offer massages, but there's a built-in Dairy Queen in one of the corners. Ignoring it, we go enjoy our massages and stuff. Though I don't remember that part at all. Then, I remember "waking up" and stumbling into the kitchen, only to find the refrigerator full of boxes with the DQ logo, as well as ice cream cones in the freezer. I was oddly excited about this prospect, so I sat there deciding which one I wanted to eat first. Unfortunately for me, that was the exact moment that I woke up, and I was very disappointed to find that the fridge was ice cream free.

Have any of you ever had a similar feeling, finding something nice in your dreams and be so convinced that it's there, only to realize that it isn't?

Update

Hey guys, apologies for not posting in the last few days. I've been busy with a few things of late, and I've been sleeping a ton with no dreams to speak of. Kinda sucks that most of my entries are reliant on that, but it seems to be working for now. Anyway, just wanted to make a quick update on that. I may be looking into getting a driver's license soon, so that'll be exciting. And stressful. Yay. I'm gonna go try and pick up one of those booklets and read the living shit out of it. Maybe test myself or something. What do you do when you need to study? Leave a comment below, and as always thanks for following/supporting!

Dream Log #8

This dream was really detailed and long, and I don't remember as much of it as I did this morning. I was tempted to get up and record it so that I'd be able to refresh my memory, but my bed was much too comfy to leave at the time. So I guess I'll try and remember as much as I can for your amusement.

 The "start" of the dream began with me being charge to house-sit or something. I don't recall doing anything up until it starts to get a little strange. I decide to walk around a bit and open some doors. Some rooms are empty, and others have wargs in them for some reason. This part made me laugh a little, but I briefly debating on whether or not I needed to kill a few of them for some deeds. I've been playing  LoTRO way too much. Anyway, when I come back out, a lot of people are standing around in the kitchen, surrounding an island table with some sweets and beverages on it. Everyone is holding some form of container, and some are even reaching for the chocolate and baked stuff and putting them inside. Most of it looked really delicious, so I grabbed a small bowl and started filling it with bags of tea and chocolate bars. Apparently there was some sort of crisis that was about to take place, and confectioneries were the best form of sustenance.  

Some time later (I'm not really sure how long, must've been during a gap I don't remember) and I'm not in the same neighborhood anymore, and I'm not alone either. Instead of the nice suburban area I'd been in previously, I somehow end up in some trashy trailer park with my boyfriend in tow. What I recall the most in this part of the dream was that it was raining pretty heavily and it was dead quiet. Thinking that a little strange, we wander around to some guy's house, where a large number of ravenous dogs and wolves were being hoarded by him. I suppose we let the police/animal services know about the situation, because all of a sudden, I managed to pull all the doors on the pet carriers they'd been kept in simultaneously. The man doesn't like this very much because he starts shouting at us, and even worse, all the dogs start coming for us. Both of us ended up circling around the trailer and find the next trailer over unlocked, so we hide in there. As I was shutting the flimsy door behind us, one of the dog's jaws clamp around my wrist for a second or two, though this doesn't seem to effect me for the rest of the dream. I wasn't even bleeding. 

There's another gap in my memory at this point, but it seemed like the time lost wasn't as much. Still in the trailer, we find that we're now perched somehow off of a freeway overpass or some other wall. It's raining even harder now and in an instant, the metal sheet walls melt away and we're left on rusted support beams, clinging to them for our lives. Turns out that we're actually not too high up, so we slide down and start walking down the streets and sidewalks. At this point in time I assumed that the impending disaster was happening, but looking around I don't remember seeing a whole lot out of place, other than it still being eerily silent. After plodding on for a bit, we find this huge treehouse-esque fort thing standing on several beams. We check it out for a minute and climb inside after deciding that it's safe, or at least better than wandering around in the rain. The strangest part is the next time lapse. It's the shortest of all of them, hardly a few minutes, and it makes the least amount of sense. Suddenly, we're walking down a normally busy area of an unnamed town and I spot a portly guy who smiles at me, only his teeth are sharp with two short prongs where the ends should be flat. I'd been so jarred by this that I stood still for a moment until my boyfriend pulled me along, unaware of this creepy man until I nodded over to him. Then, he guided me in front of him and pulled up my hood, and before I turned my head away, I noticed the man slowly step behind us and begin to follow. That's the very last part I remember, but it was so chilling to me that I didn't really notice until after I'd woken up a little bit and remembered it.

I think this may be the longest entry to date. I like it when my dreams are really detailed and I'm able to remember so much of it. As always, if you have any questions about anything, feel free to leave me a comment below!

100 Followers!

Thank all of you so much!  I've had a lot of fun writing in this blog, and all the feedback I get makes it that much better. Let's hope for 100 more, yeah? I'll try to get back to my dream logs soon enough, but in the meantime, keep being awesome guys!

Lots of Literature

So, one thing I came home with was books. Lots of them. At least for me, anyway. I've always enjoyed a good book, despite not reading a whole lot independently. Currently I'm in the second book of A Song of Ice and Fire series. It's pretty damn good so far, I can hardly put it down. Apparently a new volume is coming out not too far from now, so that's awesome. Before I found out, I always figured there were only four books in the entire series.

Next in line is the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I've seen the films plenty of times, but I've yet to read the books. I've been hearing from people that it's a little bit of a tricky read, but I'm excited to finally see it in its original form. I hope I won't be comparing it to the movies the whole time. Even in that case, I'm sure I'll enjoy it nonetheless.

What are your favorite books? Leave your answers in the comments!

Chaos

It seems like all these feelings I've been trying to keep a lid on are overwhelming me. Ever since I left California, there's this terrible yearning and bitterness I can't shake. It's only been 10 days, but it feels like so much longer than that. At the airport I had no choice but to pull myself together, and a few days after coming back it seemed like I was starting to be okay with being here. Then when I have nothing left to occupy myself with, all the memories and feelings and everything else sneak up on me. I still have so much to do here. I've been putting off getting a driver's license since I was 16, so I really need to get that situated. Also, due to financial matters, I would pretty much get a free ride through any college in the state if I chose to. I realize that both of those things are imperative and anyone else in their right mind would be all over it, but god damnit. I don't want to be stuck here for 4 more years. These thoughts have been swimming in my head for longer than I'd like, and I need to make a decision about something soon. Maybe it'll be a goal or something. All I want is to be back in San Francisco with the wind and the vicious seagulls and my heart.

 Gah.Suppose it was time for one of these venting posts. Starting a blog means these things are an inevitability. Hopefully I'll get back to my dream logs soon enough.

Change of Plan

So, my plans of permanently staying in California have been put on hold for a bit. I've been back in Ohio for a few days now and I really miss San Francisco, even those damn steep inclines. I did enjoy myself while I was there, so I guess that's not such a bad thing. I also feel a lot better since I got a ton of exercise and ate properly. I even got to see the ocean. All in all, it was awesome and I can't wait to go back.

Have any of you been anywhere exciting recently? Share in the comments!

Goings On

So, I'm not even going to say I've been particularly busy for almost a month. Honestly, I've simply been forgetting to update this thing. Though I suppose the lack of actual dreaming is also a little bit of a hindrance. Anyway, I do have some awesome news I've been dying to write about. On the first of February, I'm going to be relocating across the country to California. It'll be the farthest I've ever been away from home, and some parts of me are nervous, but I'm still very much excited all at the same time. Best of all (sort of) is that it's a late afternoon flight, so I won't need to wake up at an ungodly hour in the morning!

I feel a little dorky for admitting this, but I've had my little suitcase packed for a week or so with things I don't really need at the moment, so it's just been sitting in my room, perilously close to tripping distance. That actually happened once a few days ago, but luckily I didn't die or anything.

Since I'll be without my own computer for a little while, I'm not sure I'll be able to update this thing very often, if at all. Still, I figured it couldn't hurt to post this. Yeah. Anyway, take care everyone! I hope to check back in a few weeks or something.

New Years!

Just popping in again during the last stretch of the holidays. Mine wasn't too exciting, but somehow it was still one of the best I've ever had. Strange how the smallest of things can make big differences, eh? 2011 is going to be the best year of my life.

Anyhow, feel free to leave comments and questions below. How was your New Years? Have any resolutions to share, even if you're probably not going to follow through with them?

Merry Christmas!

Hey everyone, just wanted to post a little something for the holidays. I had a great Christmas, and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves! I should get back into the swing of posting updates more often, so keep checking for more stuff. In the meantime, I need to sleep off my food coma. Take care, everyone!

Dream Log #7

I haven't updated this in a long time, but I hope this one will make up for it a little bit. So, this dream (which I've just woken up from) starts with me going off to ride a bike around my city, even though my parents didn't really want me to. At first, everything was normal. Other than a small feeling of being lost, nothing much was happening. Then, I decided to try and take some sort of shortcut through what appeared to be a construction site. There was gravel on the ground for a mile or so it seemed, and I figured that it wouldn't be such a good idea after all, but before I could turn myself around, a bunch of the men working there came into view. I immediately got this sinking feeling in my chest as they started smirking at me. Then two girls came up near me while this one man tried to approach and I begged them to help me. They seemed nonchalant, but they told the men to back off before disappearing somewhere behind me. That seemed to stop him for a moment until I got up - I don't remember how I'd fallen - and made for the door. He tried to grab me and I somehow jumped up into a top shelf of a closet that I guess was next to me, kicking my legs and lashing belts and anything else I could grab at him. After a few  minutes, he sort of fell over and I ran back out the door I'd come in from, only to find that I was now in my neighborhood. I could hear my mother calling my name as I tried to get to my house. I saw flashing lights as I turned the corner to my driveway, but instead of a regular police car, it was a limo with a bunch of lights attached to it. Then, I noticed that Lady Gaga was standing right in the middle of my driveway. I ran up to her and she hugged me before stepping back and beginning a speech that I couldn't seem to make out. As if that wasn't strange enough, Wanda Sykes and Barack Obama joined her. I was a little stunned that these people knew about me being lost for a day, let alone would come to my house right as I returned.

And that's when I woke up. It was the clearest dream I've had in a while, and I literally woke up ten minutes before posting this, so it's definitely fresh in my mind. As always, feel free to comment or ask questions below, I'll make sure to answer!

Holidays

It's been a disgustingly long time since I've updated this, yet again, and I apologize for that. To be completely honest, I haven't been having very many dreams lately and I've been busy with some other things. While I still don't have anything to report now dream-wise, I thought I'd post since Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Are any of you looking forward to it? Who are you spending it with? Leave a comment below, and as always, questions and comments are deeply encouraged.

Have a good turkey day tomorrow!

Dream Log #6

Last night's dream was another weird one. Sort of funny, but weird. I was in some sort of classroom, no one really doing much of anything, when me and a few other girls randomly transformed into Pokemon. From there, we all began to fly around the room, screaming and laughing. It seemed to last for quite some time, at least a few hours.

I know it's a little short, but there wasn't much else that I remember aside from that. Has anyone ever dreamed something weird like this? Ever turned into your favorite Pokemon? Leave a comment below!

Dream Log #5

It seems that lately I've been going back into my pattern of not dreaming a whole lot. When I first started this log, I was dreaming almost every night and had at least something that I remembered to write down. Apologies for this, as I've noticed quite a few people are interested in this subject. A bit of good news, however,  is that I do remember a little bit from last night's dream.

The first thing that comes to mind is seeing and hearing a lot of birds. It wasn't for very long, barely a glimpse, but I noticed they were black and irritatingly loud, most likely crows. I also recall being in the back parking lot of my dad's apartment complex looking at the sky, which seemed unusually gray, as though it was about to rain. It was one of the few times out of these logs that I was actually seeing things in the first-person perspective, as I normally see myself in the third-person.

I know it's not a lot, but I didn't want to go a week or more without at least a small update, so here it is. As always, thank you for the interest and support. If you have any questions, make sure to leave a comment below and I'll answer it.

Dream Log #4

Last night's dream was a little weird, even considering the others I've posted on here. It's also a bit brief, but I remember a couple things from such  a short amount of time.

The first thing that comes to mind is that I'm suddenly on a ship. A big ship, filled with pirates. They didn't seem to be the pillaging sort, though, and instead they sorta just mulled around the deck and sang songs. None of which I remember, of course. All of a sudden, the waves start to pick up and the waters turns to this ominous gray color. We're all holding onto a part of the ship, and for whatever reason, I decided it was a good idea to cling to the mast and throw this big sword into the ocean. Almost immediately after this, I hear a crazy techno song playing, though it doesn't seem to affect the pirates in the least. I can also vaguely remember some sort of accident that involved a larger type of car and me somehow pushing it off of the harbor that it crashed near to.

Despite not remembering a whole lot from this dream, I can somehow feel that there was a lot going on. Tell me what you think. Thanks for all the support.

October 26, 2010

Update

Apologies for not making a new post in a while. I've been preoccupied with some other things, along with not really remembering much of my dreams lately. I'll start to post again on a regular basis with what I can remember, even if it's just little unimportant bits.

For instance, last night I could swear I remember I was shaving an orange. Make of that what you will, and thanks for following.

Dream Log #3

Aha! I remembered a good amount of the dream I had today. It seems that since I've been keeping this log, I've been dreaming more often.


So, the first part I remembered was being on a plane with a few people that I can remember seeing later. From what I can remember, the ride didn't last very long. It was me, two other girls, and a boy, all appearing to be in highschool. Some time later, I was hanging out with the group in the terminal while we waited for our connecting flight, when all of a sudden my mother comes out of one of the doors. I wasn't entirely sure how she got there, bit I distinctly remember her saying that she wanted to be with her mother, whom I suppose was somehow on the same flight as I was. I didn't see her for the rest of the dream except for a brief moment later on where I passed them sitting together in a cluster of chairs.

Between there and the next part I remember is a bit fuzzy. Though this next part is a little odd. However long it had been from there, I was suddenly in my middle school gymnasium, where everyone was dressed for prom or some-such. What I distinctly remember the most from this part was that the people I'd been with were there, and that I was wearing a bright red dress. It was then that one of aforementioned girls beckoned me to the floor (myself and everyone else had been sitting in the bleachers) where I guess some sort of choreographed dance number was going to take place. There, everyone on the floor opened with the chicken dance before breaking off into a waltz or something similar. I had no idea what I was doing from there, so I kind of just walked around in places that seemed like I would fit in with the dance. Towards the end, it was just me and the same two girls from before, and the one in the middle ran through the group of boys that I supposed was part of the routine. Finally, me and the remaining girl ran to our respective partner, where we were spun around a number of times. After that, I don't remember anything else from the gymnasium portion of the dream.

Now, the "ending" was a little weird. It was very brief, but I remember it clearly. A worn book with a burgundy cover shut itself, and two strange creatures appeared and started bantering between themselves. They were both snake-like creatures, though they appeared especially slimy. One was very large and the other, I assumed, was its offspring and much smaller. I can't remember exactly what they said, but they did talk for a short time before disappearing under this lake that had suddenly appeared. That's when I woke up.

Yeah, this was a long one, but I'm glad I remembered as much as I did. Any questions or comments can be left below. I didn't realize before now that I can comment back and stuff, so yay for me! Once again, thanks for all the advice and interest concerning this subject. I really appreciate it!

Dream Log #2

Today I remember my dream a little better than last time. It's still not very much, but considering I normally don't remember the majority of what I dream about, I thought it was worth posting. I saw myself in the third person running to the bathroom and being sick in the toilet. I was really hungry when I fell asleep, so maybe that has something to do with it. Another strange thing I recall is that parts of the roof of my house were missing. Everything seemed a lot darker too, despite the fact that it was daytime, since I could still see everything around myself. Now, this one could be attributed to waking up for a brief period, but I could swear I heard my mother's voice. Whether it was her trying to wake me up or if she really was in my dream somewhere, I don't know.

That's all I have for you guys this time. Tell me what you think! Also, once again thanks for the interest and comments. It really means a lot.

Dream Log #1

So in my last post, a lot of you seemed interested in my dream rambling. So I figured that I could keep a log of all the dreams I remember. Some of you guys even suggested this, so I shall do it!

I don't really remember much of the dream I had last night, though I do remember tiny details. Though it doesn't make much sense by itself, I remember seeing crowds of people moving around, perhaps like on a heavily-frequented crosswalk or something. Or maybe it was inside somewhere. I really can't remember that part, but I just remember seeing a lot of people around. I wasn't even sure if it was "myself"surrounded by people, or if I was even there.

I know it's not a lot, but I wanted to get this thing going. I'll definitely make sure to post any other remembrances of my dreams from now on. Thanks a lot for the comments and interest :]
