DOG

So I found this grey stray dog running around. It was wearing a collar. I vividly remember grabbing the collar and reading the name and address of its owner from the tag.

I intended to return the dog to its owner, so I got Chewy, my mom, myself, and the dog all loaded up in our van and we went to find this person's house.

However, we got lost and never found it.

Then,

My band director left and we got a new one, Mr. Lewis from Clarkston. That was right before I woke up.

That's all.

Mellophone Worry

First off,

This girl who plays mellophone in my band, Zoe Rudich, was trying to frame me for destruction of property or something for getting nail polish all over her yearbook (??) and I know why, because in real life I yelled at her at the game on Friday. But she didn't succeed because she was clearly trying to frame me.

Then I somehow knew how to play mellophone and I was so happy because it meant I could march mellophone in college and I could even do DCI if I wanted... I was really disappointed when this part of my dream wasn't true. If I had more time in my day I'd definitely learn mellophone.

Then there was a big chunk of dream, I was walking around some town that looked like a cross between Oxford and Midland with someone who alternated between my brother Joe and Joe Dorman. I had to call my mom to get directions at one point and I distinctly remember the whole scene:

I was standing at a street corner looking up at the street signs. A female police officer was standing behind me because apparently that was her post. I called our house phone first and it went straight to voicemail (which doesn't actually happen with house phones in real life.) so I called her cell but she was on the house phone with some guy from our church. But I told her the streets we were at (one of them was Westview) and she told me to turn right, but I saw this little music store to the left so I went that was to go check it out.

We walked through some stands that looked like they'd been at the renaissance festival on our way over. The music store was a huge disappointment, it was mostly just pictures of people for some reason. I determined while in the music store that I was in Midland because the kids in the marching band photos were Midland High students. There were mostly pictures of the sousaphones, who for some reason were wearing a bunch of PVC pipe in addition to the sousaphones.

At this point my mom showed up and was looking around the music store too and talking about relationships. First she told me that I needed a new boyfriend because a girl shouldn't just have one boy her whole life. Then she was talking about her relationships and for a few minutes I was under the impression that she was a lesbian.

Then when I was ready to go, I went to get my mom from where she was talking to the shop owner. I just said, "I'm ready to go" to her and walked away, then realized that the shop owner was my old band director Mr. Reinhard, but I kept walking away because I'm still pissed off that he left.

Finally, we were walking down a sidewalk and for some reason I couldn't stop walking in a diagonal line and pushing everyone off so they all got really mad at me.

This was a long one.
The end.

The Result of Sleeping for 13 Hours...

...especially after a week of sleep deprivation.

The dream started out introducing this guy character. His background was weird and sketchy, apparently he had been struck by lightning and was left deaf and mostly blind. He had black hair and looked kind of like this weird exchange student from my school.

Then it turns out I was dating him. We were walking around somewhere but he was embarassing me with his bumbling around.

At some point I met his mom and it turns out it was her fault he had been struck by lightning, because the lightning travelled through her and hit him.

Then the plot got really weird and it turned out that his parents had endangered him by making him get some famous euphonium (I know, weird.) from a really dangerous spot in a movie theatre.

After a while, the guy turned into my ACTUAL boyfriend, and I wondered how I had never noticed he was deaf and blind before.

Then I was at his house and he for some reason had two small houses instead of one big house. There were multi-colored squirrels everywhere because his dad is obsessed with squirrels. (Not really, but strangely enough my mom's boss really is obsessed with squirrels.) I think that's about where the dream ended. There was something about a euphonium-shaped cookie.

Somewhere in the middle of the dream my dog got arrested, which was strange. At first I was protesting his arrest but then I gave in and admitted that he deserved some jail time. I have no idea what my dog could've done. He's the most innocent dog ever.

Flute anxiety

So I felt really guilty yesterday

because I hadn't practiced flute in three days

(Background info: I intend to be a flutist when I'm all growed up.)

So I had this dream that I was practicing, for a long time. I was so proud of myself for all of the practice time I put in.

Then I woke up.

I was mad.

FUZZY GREEN OSTRICHES?!?!?!

Hopefully that title caught your attention.

I had a dream last night.

A very strange dream.

Kind of embarrassing as well.

Anyway,

I was standing outdoors, strolling around with some other people around me but not with me. I walked past this patch of grass with these two strange-looking birds on it.

As a side note, I think I might have an irrational fear of large birds. (Although now that I think about it, it's pretty rational.) Did you know that ostriches and emus can kill you?!?!? They can kill you!!

Back to my dream.

The birds looked like they had ostrich legs but their necks were thicker than ostrich necks and their heads were bigger. It looked like their fur was bright green turf growing out of them. Their heads reminded me of something from Alice in Wonderland because their beaks were actually those goofy horns that you always see clowns using, that have the rubber ball and the metal horn stuck to each other.

So I walked past these birds, and one of them looked up and right into my eyes.

I froze in place. I've heard you're never supposed to look an attacking animal in the eyes, but it was too late, I couldn't seem to look away.

The bird started trotting towards me and I was sooooo scared.

Suddenly, my friend S ran up from the side and I assumed he was going to tackle the bird, but instead he lifted his leg and peed on the bird's leg like a dog.

Which was really gross.

But the bird left me alone after that.

The end.

Boyfriend's House Dream

Spent the night at Boyfriend's last night.

First, I was with my friend Annette and she was returning my t-shirt to me that she had worn. It was grey and pretty cute, but when she returned it it had a big rip in it. I pointed it out and she was like, "Oh, that's so small."

(This is all very uncharacteristic of her.)

Then she offered me this hockey jersey to wear instead and I took it and put it on but it was so huge on me I looked like a was wearing choir robes.

Then I was in a bus with my Aunt Roseanne and Uncle Brad, and a bunch of my Korean cousins got on and then my 3 yr. old cousin Penelope ran up to me and hugged me and I was so happy and lifted her up and did this thing that my Aunt Janet does when she lifts up a kid where she goes, "Oh-ho-ho-ho" which would not be weird if you heard it in real life and if I were to do it out loud everyone would think to themselves, "That's that thing that Janet does."

Then the dream took a bad turn and it may have been the influence of Boyfriend's house because apparently he has lots of dreams like this.

We all got out into the parking lot and my extended family all started getting into their cars, none of them calling me over to get into theirs. I went for a white car, but when I neared it, I realized that all of the seats were full.

Then I saw Brad and Roseanne in their car, accelerating backwards for some odd reason. I ran after their car and they started accelerating faster and faster backwards and Roseanne was giving me odd looks as if she didn't know who I was. Then I realized that I had been looking at them through the windows of another car, Janet and Jeff's van. I was surprised so I stopped running and they both shot past me.

When I finally saw my own family I started running towards them in slow motion, just to be funny. I can't remember if they left without me or not.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

...was actually Mr. H, the choir teacher at my school. He looked just like Joseph Gordon-Levitt. We had a weird conversation and he told me that he had had cancer a bunch of times.

Then I was driving around my church's church van and for some reason trying to hide it from my dad, who had the other church van.

Renaissance Festival stress dream

So Boyfriend and I went to the Ren Fest today and had an absolute blast - we went all out dressing up and saw the Royal joust and a ton of other neat things.

ANYWAY

Last night I had a STRESS DREAM about the Ren Fest!!! Ridiculous! Why does this always happen to me? This wasn't even something vital to my future and I stress dreamed about it!

So

When the dream started out I was leaving for Boyfriend's house. (Our plan - go to Boyfriend's, then Ren Fest from there because he lives much closer.) On my way I realized that I had forgotten all of my money and both of our costumes other than a random green bathrobe. When I got to Boyfriend's, I was freaking out and demanding to go all the way BACK to my house (45 minute drive) to get our stuff, then to the Fest (55 minutes from my house.)

So we hopped on his motorcycle (He does not have a motorcycle) and started driving back to my house and for some reason he decided to take a shortcut - through someone's house!! I was like, "What in the world are you doing?" and he said, "Oh, don't worry I know them." Which I guess he thought was a valid excuse as we drove the motorcycle through several rooms of their house and then out the back door.

The dream was never resolved and was very, very weird.

Gah.

I dreamt I was 9 months pregnant. I was about to go into labor and was being taken to the hospital by my mom and some other woman. I was looking through my drawer for a shirt to wear and Shannon was with me for just a moment, and I pulled out the pink shirt with her name on it but the letters were falling off.

Then I was at the hospital and I called Boyfriend to tell him I was pregnant because I guess somehow he didn't know. Then I suddenly remembered that I am a virgin, and I said really loudly to my mom, "But I've never had sex!" a bunch of times.

Then I realized that I had been impregnated while in a hot tub with Kevin, like what supposedly happened to Quinn on Glee. Boyfriend laughed as if he somehow already knew it had happened when I told him, and I got really mad and broke up with him. Then I decided I was giving the baby up for adoption and I was ready to get it all over with when I woke up.

For a minute after I woke up I had a little freak-out because I thought it was real, but then realized it was a dream. (I hate that!)

A not-bad dream! :)

Not bad, but weird.

Just as a note up front, I'm not a huge Twilight fan. I enjoy the books and movies as an innocent form of entertainment and I like them a HEALTHY AMOUNT!!

On that note, my dream was full of the characters from Twilight last night. I was not Bella, I was just me, but I was in Bella's position of being the only human with the Cullens. This other vampire clan started moving into the Cullens' attic for some reason and wanted to fight them for the property.

So Edward for some reason was going to face all of them all on his own, and I was sent away for the duration of the fight but at that point I was woken up by my dog licking my face because I was sleeping on the living room floor because I was having a sleepover with Anna. The End.

Quick Add-On

I had another brief dream last night that I just remembered... I saw my old band director who has been in jail again, and I always wondered if he would look different but in my dream he was a literally a completely different person, he was this old man with a kind of fat looking face and hair like Mr. Spresney.

More Bad Dreams

There was this woman who sort of looked like Amy Poehler but evil and she was kidnapping the contestants of this pageant and torturing them. She had gotten two of the girls and I don't remember what she did to them, and she was going after me because I was in the pageant.

I never really finished that part of the dream, I guess the situation resolved itself. I think maybe the police came in a dream for once.

Then my mom and I were in our old across-the-street neighbors, The Wolickis', house, and their house was super awesome. We were bonding and eating doughnuts and for some reason I was wearing only a shirt and underwear, so when the Wolickis' daughters arrived at home I had to run around and find pants.

Then something awesome was going to happen, but my dad came in and woke me up.

Am I a morbid person?

Another dream in my litany of terrible dreams...
I had this dream that my friend Chris died. I remember seeing him in a casket and having that weird feeling when you see someone you know in a casket, that it's not really them at all but some sort of imposter. It was a bad dream.

Bad Dreams

Had a dream the other night that my dad and I were driving home from Kevin's house and we got car-jacked. This guy was sitting in the passenger seat and I was in the driver's seat and my dad was in the back seat. The car-jacker had some sort of accelerator on his side of the car and he was using it to make my car go out of control, and I was braking and trying to steer around obstacles.

Then I was out of the car and in my school and the car-jacker was in the car with my dad. Then the car-jacker called me and somehow showed my a video of my dad and my dad was having some sort of seizure and he had blood on his face and I started screaming and crying in the middle of the hallway at school.

Then I was back in the car and I jumped out of the car and the car-jacker hit me with the car and pushed me into some parked cars. Then I was back in the car again and I started to hit things and other cars on the passenger side because I was trying to kill the car-jacker and I still didn't know where my dad was.

:(

In my dream, I was playing some sort of handheld game (not electronic) and Ethan was running around by me. Then the dream started over again and Ethan was gone.

Ceiling Dwellers and Blood Donations

I had this strange dream that I was handing things to my friend SP, only he was inside the ceiling of a building and I was throwing them through a missing tile to him. It seemed perfectly normal that that's where he was living in the dream. Then I had some sort of a stress dream about getting to a blood drive on time to donate, it was in Clarkston and I was debating about what vehicle to take there. I ended up getting there on time but was ineligible, just like in real life.

Stress Dreams = Poop

I had a stress dream about my flute lesson today last night. It wasn't about the actual lesson though, it was about getting there. I get really anxious about getting places on time but not about the actual event.

In the dream I couldn't find the directions to Brandy's house. I searched all over my room frantically for hours, and then by the time I found them it was at least 2:15 and it takes an hour and a half for me to get to Brandy's house and my lesson was at 3:00 so I called her and cancelled. Then I had another mini stress dream in which I woke up several times checking the clock and each time the clock said something crazy. Also, I kept waking up and thinking my lesson was at 1:00 and that I was incredibly late. It was generally an awful night.

I'm officially creepy...

I had a dream that Neil Patrick Harris and I kidnapped this guy and tied him up in the back of a car. We then performed a sex change operation on his while he was unconscious to anatomically turn him into a woman. I don't know why we did this, I think we had some sort of task that could only be carried out by someone with a vagina. (Thought: I have a vagina...) When he woke up we somehow managed to hide it from him that his penis was missing. Then a few days later, we knocked him out again and reversed it.

Second dream. I went to pick up my senior pictures and saw a bunch of people there that I knew. Saw SS and her pictures had a flute in them, but she doesn't play flute. Saw CS and her pictures were all silly. Saw Old Band Director and he was kind of trying to describe a piece of music to me and I think it was from Carnival of the Animals. Then my parents and I went to eat some free food at a concert and it was a harpsichord concert and they were playing the demo song from my electric keyboard. (I've been hearing music in my dreams lately, oddly enough, the other two instances have been the Can-Can and "Somebody to Love" by Queen.) I got a sandwich that was really good and then we left.

Small dream on the end. I was watching Harry Potter with Kevin. There was a baby crawling around. I think the rest of my family was on some sort of dangerous mission and I was being left behind to watch Harry Potter and I was okay with that.

Band Party

So last night I hosted the end-of-band-camp party at my house, since it's tradition for the senior drum major to do so. Then I had a stress dream about it after it was over for some reason.

In the dream, my dad had said that everyone had to be gone by 11:00pm, just like it really happened. But in my dream my dad had gone to bed and a group of people had stayed until 2:00am, at which point he woke up and I tried to hide them somehow but just got into really big trouble instead. I think I was grounded, but I went to buy groceries instead and used a card of my mom's to pay. For some reason you had to sign in when you got to the grocery store and more than one person could not use the same identity. My mom showed up while I was shopping and I was rushing to leave before she did or else she wouldn't be able to pay and would find out that I was there and had used her grocery card. She found out anyway.

Cousin Dream

Dreamed about my cousin Hahnji. I went to South Korea where she lives and it was really confusing and there were other people around, possibly my grandmother.
