So I Disapperated...

What do you get when you mix True Blood, Glee, and Harry Potter together? The dream I had last night. So I was friends with Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) from Glee, and he had gotten in trouble for letting some of the girls in his class skip to go buy dresses for prom. One of the girls was picking on me, and we got into a fight. Well, he wasn't going to do anything about it because he let the kids skip school and he would have gotten into trouble. I know there were some other elements in there, one having to do with a TV. and some other things involving interviewing with some gangsters or something like that. Really weird. Anyway, the principal found out, and everyone was called into the office to discuss what happened. I didn't want to go, so I went for a walk. Schuester left his meeting and was a little frustrated. I decided that we should just leave, so I grabbed his hand, and my friend Carol from high school, and we disapperated. And guess where we landed? Yup! Las Vegas! What was strange was that as soon as we landed, we were rounded up by the guy and his friend playing miniature golf. It was funny that it ended up being Sookie's father from the episode when she went to some fairy world and saw her father (Gary Cole), and he was Schuester's father, just that he didn't know it. I figured he was because supposedly he resembled him, had mannerisms like him, and I could read minds and I was all magical, so I just knew. Anyway, he had Schuester put for him because he made a bet with his friend that he could pull anyone off the street and have him put and win the game for him. Well, the golf ball was a trick ball (it had a jumping bean in it), and I caught his friend in a lie, and we needed up winning for Schuester's dad. He then treated us to a really nice meal at one of the casinos, and I woke up.

Don't know why I had that kind of dream. May be I want to go to Las Vegas and buy jumping beans. Anyway, I need to get back to work. So keep dreaming and see you all next time!

I'm Back! Sort of...

First of all...HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am SO sorry I haven't posted in forever. It's not that I haven't been dreaming, because I have. It's because I've been busy. Work is crazy, people are crazy! I just haven't had the time to post.

So really quick - last night's dream. I had a dream that one of my friend's had a pug/bull dog mix, and he was adorable. Just a little on the ADD side. Well, I was staying at her mom's house, and the dog got a little excited and bit me on my butt. Now I could feel that, and man, did it hurt! Don't you hate when you feel things in your dream, you actually think it's real? He eventually let go, but he had to go to the dog whisperer for training.

Then I had a dream that Nintendo came out with a new game. It was based off The Matrix, and (SPOILER ALERT)it picked up where Neo died at the end. The little machine bugs got inside him and revived him, and it was right before he blew up Agent Smith, who was actually the Oracle and got inside Neo. Well, he went back in time, defeated all of the Smiths, and was back kicking butt all over again. If you can recall, they had rebuilt humanity about 6 times.

Well, other than that, I wanted to post something that I sent earlier today. If you have ever experienced taking order from really picky people, check out what my request was to my co-worker. Enjoy!

The Request:

Good morning everyone –

We are trying something new with Jason’s Deli. I have attached their menu. If you plan to be at this Lunch and Learn, please look at the menu, make your choice as to what you would like for lunch and get your order back to me by tomorrow (THURSDAY) at 4:30. Thanks so much!!!


My Response:

I would like a Club Royale with no ham. I would like it lightly toasted, but not toasted by a regular toaster or on a grill. It must be toasted on the hot rocks found in the Arizona desert. Only a shaman should be the one to toast my sandwich, for it will be a holy sandwich.

I want light mayo, and the mayo should only come from a jar that was not touched by human hands, but that of an angel – the purest of all. The Arch Angel Michael!

The honey mustard must be made with pure honey, taken from the queen bee herself. Not that processed crap.

Only ice berg lettuce shall touch this sandwich, and the tomatoes should have been ripened by the Tuscan sun!

Real Swiss people should have made the cheese. If not, you should have them start over, and get a Swiss man name Sven to put it on my sandwich.

The bacon must be turkey bacon. My body does not consume the meat that comes from a dirty animal. As a matter of fact, I don’t eat things with faces, to the bacon should be veggie, and the turkey, soy!

It shall be wrapped up in paper that was recycled. It must have the “Made with 100% recyclable products” posted on it.

And finally, it must be delivered to me personally by Rupert Grint. I know that it will cost more to get him than to order all of these sandwiches, but you can handle it.

But seriously, I want the Club Royale with no ham. Everything else on it is okay.

THANKS!

The Brain Is Alive with the Sound of Music!

Have you ever had a dream where the entire dream featured one thing, and one thing only? Well, for some reason, during my entire dream last night, I did nothing but sing. I sang while it rained; I sang while I was swimming in this really dirty pool; I even sang while I was on the phone with an old friend. And it was basically the same songs. I'm not sure if it was because of a song that I had been singing to myself for the last few days, but it was as if I were in a musical, but just one song was the main song, the title song, the climatic song, and the end credit song.

We haven't sung this song in such a long time at church, so I thought I would just play it before going to bed, and share it with you all. PS - my child is trying to sing it as well. Go to bed, child!



Not only did I sing the above song, but the following one:



I used to sing this song everywhere I went! I love this song!

I mean music is my thing. I never wanted to major in it because it was something I enjoyed, and school kind of ruins things for me when forced to have to do it. Like when I was in dance ensemble at UT-Martin. Didn't like my instructor at all. Enjoyed the people I danced with, but hated the fact that we had to choreograph an entire program. Well, not really hated it, but I hated the fact I had to register for the class rather than volunteer, when other folks were not forced to do that. Made me sick! But anyway, hope you all enjoyed what my brain had to go through. So good night all!

My Dreams Be Weird, Yo!

So last night, I had this dream that I was at my grandmother's house, playing with some Legos. For some reason, my bridge that I built from the dresser to grandma's bed would not stay up! I mean I pretended to have the Lego people walk across the bridge, but it just kept falling apart. So finally I decided to have the Lego nurse fly across in the medi-copter - upside down. Suddenly we were in our old house, but it was in mid-town (the house we lived in when we lived in South Memphis). Really, it was a nice house, just that the neighborhood sucked. Anyway, the house was in a cove, on a hill, and some guys tried to rob the place. Then this giant hamburger came out of nowhere with a Muppet inside of it. It looked like Janice, and something ended up eating her and the backside of the burger. We tracked it down to the guys that tried to rob us earlier, who was trapped in the back yard by Charlie, my little Pomeranian. They thought they could get away by jumping over the fence, but she jumped right behind them and got to them. The dream ended with Charlie barking at the guys as they tried to drive away.

Some of my other dreams consisted of my family packing up to head on vacation. I think we need to go on a vacation. I say we go on a cruise, so what do you think? Sounds like a plan. Anyway, going to go to bed. Later gators!

I've missed my dream boat!

Dear Dream Readers,

I have not forgotten about you all. I have been quite the busy little bumble bee, with classes, and of course, having some really vivid dreams, but I have not been able to document the wonderful things that go through my brain. Fortunately for you all, I will talk about a few of them. Unfortunately, it will be the short, short version.

Dream 1 - So last night, I had a dream about a house that my sweet man and I saw, in reality. It's an absolutely gorgeous house that if we had the money, we'd buy it in a heartbeat. But unfortunately, it costs about as much as about 5 houses put together, and it's about as big as my parent's house, with one extra bedroom. Anyway, I dreamed we got the house, but for some reason, John Travolta, in his "Welcome Back Carter" get up was trying to get some kids he was babysitting to brush their teeth, and he did, but he managed to get them to use the toilet water. See they were asleep and dreaming that they were in the bathroom using the sink, but they were hypnotized and were using the toilet. When they woke up, they saw that they were using the toilet instead. Needless to say, they felt sick.

Then my child was running around the house, a head full of hair that needed to be combed, but she would not sit still long enough so that I could do it. That was a part of the John Travolta dream with the kids brushing their teeth - everyone was getting ready for school. When we all woke up from being hypnotized, my child's hair was normal - short and easy to manage.

Then, we were at my mama's house. For some reason she had these black tiny wormy things that were all over the house and in the carpet. They were about the size of fleas, but they were worms. We had to bomb the house with bug bombs, and kill them all off. They were everywhere - clinging to folks like leaches. It was horrible!

Dream 2 - this was the fun dream. I had a dream what I was on The Apprentice. I don't think I talked about this one, so here we go. So it was the girls against guys. Me and my friend Ketha - my editor - were on the girls' team, and my man, along with his boy Chris, Justin Timberlake, Rupert Grint, and Daniel Radcliffe were a part of the guys's team. There were others, but these were the ones that were recognized. The first task was to created a model sized house with decorations for the front yard. we had to use the materials given to us. We had some stuff from Garden Ridge - wreaths, broom sticks, Popsicle sticks, etc. Well, I decided that our group would take the wreaths, fluff them out to look like tree tops, and put them on the broom sticks. The Popsicle sticks were used to build the house. The guys straight up copied my idea.

When we were almost finished, I noticed one of my trees was missing a top. One of the girls tried to hide it, but I found out that the guys had taken one of the wreaths and hid it. I managed to get it and fix the tree before Trump called time. When he saw that we both had the same design, he was like who came up with the idea first. I wanted to say me, but I didn't want to seem like I was tattling. I went ahead and said I did, and we won the game because of course, he knew I did.

Well, the game went on, and me and Ketha made it to the top 5 girls, and Chris, Richard, Rupert, Justin, and Danie were the top 5 guys. The girls had to sell a product to an executive, and we sold animal crackers. We dressed up in outfits I made, and we were convincing enough that he agreed to work with us. The guys sold beer that they had made. The executives also liked their idea. Unfortunately one guy and one girl had to go - Ketha was eliminated, and so was my Richard. I was a sad lady!

Fast forward to the end, it was me against Justin Timberlake. A few months before the finally I had given birth to our son - we had a boy, yes. Dear, Lord, PLEASE do not take me saying I had a boy as meaning I am ready for another one. I love my little pumpkin, but she is enough for now. Also, I had finished my degree, so I was Dr. so and so! Anyway, He asked what we were going to do with our winnings, and I talked about opening up an advising center for kids in the midsouth that wanted advice about applying to and enrolling in school - a center open to all students in the area. I, of course, won the prize and I became famous!

Other dreams consisted of preparing for our impending doom. Oh, we had an earthquake and we had to prepare for the final one that would take out the whole planet. Forget getting on ships to sail us to a new coast - we got onto ships that sailed us to new and better planets!

So that's about it. I cannot hold my eyes open any longer. So on that note, good night!

And I'm Back!

I've been on a dream fast lately. I wonder if you can actually have a dream fast. I mean there are times when I completely forget what I dreamed about the night before, but actually fasting, don't think so. But I at least remember a large majority of my dreams from the last few nights.

One example, I had a dream that I was at Dragon*Con with a bunch of my friends (the usual crew), and several of my family folks made it down as well. We had a ball, and met a few of the Potter people - the main characters this time. It was a lot of fun, and my friend who is obsessed with Rupert Grint ended up going out with him for a bit. Yes, there is actually another that is more obsessed with the ginger than I am!

The another dream I had was that I was trying to get home, and I was taking several wrong turns to get to get to the house. I stopped at the gas station that's at the corner of Yale and Covington Pike (the Texaco, not the Mapco), and I was trying to buy five $2 lottery tickets. The guy was trying to give me everything other than what I was asking for - $5 lottery tickets, $1 ones, all of the ones that I didn't ask for. I tried to get the manager to listen to me, but he was too busy with his dog. When I tried to get away, I was stuck inside of the store, which suddenly turned into an apartment. Every time I would open a door, another smaller door would turn up, and so on, and so on. Finally I was fed up with being stuck, I just blew the thing open - some power punch I used with the rage I had growing inside me. When I stepped outside, I was at my grandma's house! What the heck? So I eventually woke up, from staring at the hole in the wall to my grandma's house.

Now last night I had a variety of dreams! The first one starts with me watching one of my old favorite soap operas that just went off the air this past Friday. Well, all of the characters developed a disease brought on by some radioactive leakage in the area. Their eyes, nose, and mouth all shrunk, basically their entire face were just sunken in, really tiny like! It was weird! Everyone looked like that! We were trying to figure out how it all started, and we discovered that it was a government experiment went wrong, and I was a part of the research. I told them what not to do, and they did it anyway, thus causing the disease to spread. So we all had an opportunity to save people and go off to another planet. They asked who I wanted to save, and I said take a look at my Facebook page - all of those folks, plus the people on their pages. With exceptions of course! Brother's ex wife and ex girlfriends - some of them, that is. I still like a few of his ex girlfriends. Their kids can come, if tested. If they are tested positive for the disease, they are to be treated and healed.

There was this one scientist who took in his daughter from a previous relationship. She had just made the cheerleading team at school, and was on her way when she got a phone call from her half sister - her mom was pissed because their father had not put them on the list to get on the ship. The girl didn't know what she was talking about. Apparently the other girl and his ex wife had basically blown him off because he was a scientist, and wasn't rich enough, so mom went and married a really rich man who apparently didn't have the sense enough to get on the list that his office had for months told them about because there was an emergency, and everyone in the office was supposed to sign up. Well, he thought it all was a hoax, even after the girls' father told him to do it. Needless to say, they didn't make it on the ship.

With everyone on the ship, we all made it to safety. The rest of the people left on the planet died. Earth dried up, and that was about it.

The next dream, I was in school - taking 12 hours of course work on the undergraduate level. I was in a government history class and a calculus class. The problem was that I had been going to the classes at the wrong time. I was registered for the courses, and the instructors were right, but I was just going at the wrong time during the day. When I finally got everything together, I tried to tell my government instructor what was happening, and not to be alarmed if I showed up twice for class that day. He basically was ignoring me because he was trying to set up the classroom to fit the number of students remaining in his class. He made the seats form an S, which eventually turned into stadium seating - we were about to listen to some speeches from some political figures, like Hilary and Chelsea Clinton, Martin Luther King, Jr. - he was alive in y dream - Rosa Parks, and that Wallace guy from America's Most Wanted. When I sat down, I was sitting next to one of my former co-workers, who was now my classmate, and some older woman. Suddenly the seat started moving, and we went from the overflow room into the actual room where everyone was sitting. Not just in the audience, but we ended up sitting behind the speakers. I got a chance to get pictures with everyone on the panel, it was awesome, until I got a phone call to come home for some reason. That's when I woke up. Right before I woke up, I was taking a picture with Wallace. I gave some girl my cell phone, which was inside of a salad and was covered with shredded cheddar cheese.

My next dream, I had received a FedEx envelope full of checks and a diamond ring. I was like what the hell! Then I read in the memo that they were from a bunch of high school kids that were flying into Memphis for a choir contest. The checks were all made out to me for some reason, but I was not the contact person for this contest. Well, the kids all started filing in, and I was like I do not want these checks. Why were they sent to me? The teachers didn't know why, so I just gave them their checks back. As for the ring, some kid was going to propose to his girlfriend, and he was about to use some old aluminum foil ring he made because he lost the ring. Come to find out all of this mix up was his fault, but he got the ring back and proposed to the girl.

When we all tried to get out, we got lost. The school turned into a maze, and then it all stated to feel like a really bad high school horror movie. Every turn we made, one of the kids would get lost and would die. I would finally get out of the room, but I would end up in another old dream or in the past somewhere. I finally got out, and was in the right year, but I ended up being someone else. My body was occupied by the girl whose body I was occupying. I was like look, I'm not going to try to get back into that body. We are just going to have to make due and learn to live with what we got. I wasn't happy because I had smaller boobs. Did not like that at all. Made me look all lopped-sided and stuff! Kayla at least knew who I was because I was like "Hi mama's Peanut!" She knew her mama, but didn't like the new body. Wonder if I would have just stayed asleep if I could have gotten back into the right body? Probably not. May have ended up dead with the rest of the choirs.

That was about it. I think I'm going to go read about why technology had cause such a financial crisis for most universities. Later gators!

Dreams Inspired by the Con!

So I've been down in Atlanta all weekend for Dragon Con - funny that they already have it advertised for next year. And when you spend most of your time looking at strange pictures, people, costumes, etc., you start to have fun and crazy dreams. I had one that was really cool, except that everyone dies. It all started with a virus that was airborne. We were all told that if we got a shot, we would be immune to it. Needless to say, there was still a possibility that we would all get it, and we would die. No one knew how it would happen, or when it would happen, but it was going to happen, no matter what. The way it would happen is that the virus would get into your system, and starting from the feet up, your body would start to dissolve. The last thing to go would be your brain, so you can see yourself as your body dissolve.

I watched many friends and family go before me, and finally, it ended up being my turn. I was holding my daughter as I was saying good bye to one of my friends, and I was telling her that since my family was now gone, she had to take care of her either until she died, or until my daughter died. Again, no one was going to make it at all, so it was inevitable that Kayla would be dying soon. So as I died, I could see the skin dissolved from my feet, and then the bones, and when it finally reached my head, I felt it take over my chin, and then my mouth, my nose, eyes, and finally my brain.

After the few seconds when I died, I suddenly found myself somewhere else. It was like earth, but it wasn't. It was a completely new planet. Apparently when we died on this planet, we went to another one, completely alive. What was happening was our old bodies could no longer function on earth, so we had to be transported to our new home. Unfortunately we had to dissolve in such a gruesome manner. When I made it to my destination, I found my mama waiting on me. She told me what was going on, basically scientists knew that earth was no longer inhabitable, so we had to me transported to our new home. I asked was everyone else there, and she said yes. What about Kayla? She told me that she would be along soon, so not to worry. Apparently I gave her the virus while I was holding her. Opps! But at least my baby was coming with me!

Now, another dream I had, well, it entails yet again the end of the world. This time, I had some friends to join me. One of my old roommates from undergrad (the first time) was a hall monitor at my old high school. Apparently we all had to line up before being dismissed to catch the bus or leave for the day. My mom was with me, so I thought that I could just bypass the whole having to line up thing. Apparently that was not the case, so one of the other hall monitors tried to make us get back into the line. Mom and I ducked out of the school, running into Bre at the library exit. Well, when I saw her, I was like sorry, but since the world was ending soon, I didn't think I would have to wait in line, wasting any more time. She agreed, and let us go. We made plans to meet up later for dinner later on that evening with some other friends, but I never had the chance to make it. We all had to get on the shuttle that was going to take us to a safe place that would protect us when the world ended. That kind of sucked because I was ready for some margaritas and nachos.

Other than that, dealt with a lot of dark spaces and having to close curtains to keep the light from getting into the house - the light brought in bad aliens or something. Light was not good in this dream. Light was evil. So that was about it. I hope you all had a wonderful time. Until the next dream!
