I don't like bugs!

I may not remember my dream from last night, but I remember the one(s) from a couple of nights ago. So have you seen the movie "Ransom", with Mel Gibson, Gary Sinise, Donnie Wahlberg, yada yada yada? Well, for some reason, I condensed a two hour movie into may be a few seconds...and last night's dream, or part of it, just popped into my head! Anyway, I dreamed about the movie "Ransom", and the girl, the one who helped kidnap the kid, she was meaner in my dream than what she was in the movie. It was strange. Donnie was all like "I ain't killing no kid - that wasn't a part of the plan!" And the dude that played his brother was the same way - you know, the guy who played Cotton Weary, in the Scream movies, Liev Schreiber. Man, I think I watch way too many movies.

Anyway, another part of my dream took place on this island. It was like a retirement community, or almost like a Key West, FL, looking place. I don't know. All I know is that it was on the beach, it had a golf course, and it was beautiful. Deserted, but beautiful. I was on this cruise with a bunch of folks, and Jeff Goldblum was there. I don't know about you, but anything with Jeff Goldblum spells trouble. So we dock at this island, we are admiring the view and everything, and noticed that there were no people around. Cars empty, houses empty, no one playing golf. We all kept walking inland, and the men were like "Well, let's go back to the beach and see if there is anything there to help us out, give us some clues to this mysterious island". So they all leave, and the rest of us continue to look around, go into the shops, and no one is around. Suddenly we see the men running back from the beach, shouting. We were all like what's going on, then as they got closer, we could hear this rustling sound, almost like little feet pounding on the ground. The men were actually telling us all to run, and we saw one guy go down and was immediately covered by bugs. They looked like beetles, just eating folks up. We all ran, hid in cars and houses, covering up cracks in the doors and windows.

After they finished off a couple of the people who were with us, the bugs went back into the water. We discovered the secret of the island - the water gods were sending the bugs up for the sacrifice that was promised to them every three months. When the other people were either wiped out or escaped, the gods got angry, and plotted to lure folks to the island. Well, we had to think of a way to get rid of the water gods and the bugs, and one lady had killed off her bug with fire. Even when it went back into the water, it still died because the water wasn't really water, it was some kind of poisonous substance. Mixed with fire, it made things worse. So that was the plan: build something bigger than matches and a lighter that would set all of the bugs on fires, and some how surround the water with it. Before we could move forward with the plan, I woke up.

So that was basically what I dreamed about a few nights ago. Last night's dream, well, consisted of me wondering around my old elementary school, yet again. That's about two nights in a row, really. I'm getting tired of having to go back to that school. NOW I REMEMBER! Last night dream was all about school. I had a dream that I was running late for school, and I was trying to drop some of my co-workers off so that they could get to their class on time, and I was late because I was trying to park the car, and it wouldn't park straight. Then when I finally did get the car parked, I went inside and I had to take a math test - some freaky, out of this world type of math. Not your basic addition and multiplication, but some quantum physics and algorithms crap. I guess it was some form of anxiety for today - I start my residency for my graduate program this afternoon. It shouldn't be that hard, but goodness! That dream freaked me out a bit. No wonder I was trying to forget it. Well, that is all!

Three, three, three dreams in one!

Now that the storms have passed, I can get on here and try to blog about the dreams I've had for the past three nights. First, the 50's Pin-up dream:

So I had this dream that I was Annette Funicello, and Marilyn Monroe and I was competing in a talent show and a beauty queen contest. Well, I won the talent show, so I opted out to not compete in the beauty queen contest against Marilyn, which made her happy because she thought she was going to lose against me. Well, the judges of the contest convinced me to enter anyway, and I did. So we're competing, and she wished she was me because I was young and talented, and I wished I was her because she was so beautiful, and we ended up switching bodies for a bit. I think eventually we switched back, but I can't remember, so on to the next part of the dream.

So a friend of mine just recently got married, and I had a dream that she and her wife (yes, I said her wife) we stationed in Georgia because one of them was in the Army (actually neither of them are in the military). Anyway, she was driving this car that had to be parked next to a wall or some flat surface because in order to get in, you would have to punch in a code that would reflect onto the flat surface when you clicked on the keys. Well, one day, me and two of our other friends were driving the car, and she called and asked us to come back to the house because she just got orders that she was being stationed in Colorado. Well, the guys had forgotten the code, but I didn't (it was 234, very simple). For some reason, they were typing in complex algorithms or something. We eventually got in, and started driving back to my friends house when one of the guys that was riding with us tried to kiss him. I was like nuh uh because his boyfriend would get mad, and my boyfriend would toss him out of the car. That was a weird part of the dream.

The next dream: Vampire Live Action Games!

So this one is going to be short because I can only remember a portion of it. I had a dream what I was a character in a video game. I was fighting vampires - I was a werewolf, so guess who my favorite Twilight character is? Anyway, I'm trying to defeat this chick, who so happens to be this girl from high school who is currently upset at me right now. Anyway, I was fighting them, and then suddenly I ended up in a bathroom, fighting her, and one of her friends, and some old hillbilly guy. I guess I need to go ahead and finish my book I'm writing. I don't remember much about the dream, except continuously going around and around the corner to fight vampires. So I woke up. That's about it with that dream.

Finally, Attack of the Aliens at Raleigh Station Apartments!

So I had another dream, about being in my old apartments, and we were again, being attacked by aliens. This time, they were setting the apartments on fire with lasers and stuff. The only was to hide was to be on the bottom floor. They burned out the apartments to the right of us, and the guys that lived on the left of us were almost trapped in their apartment, but they got away. The lady downstairs with her kids were a lot of fun, kept us entertained. Finally the aliens got out of their ships, and they tried to fight us. We, of course, defeated them. But the apartments were destroyed. That kind of sucked because I wanted to go swimming, but we had to move because the apartments were being condemned.

So that's about all I have for now. Let's see what tonight will bring me...hmmm, dreams of Harry Potter? I'm actually reading book #7 for the hundredth time - not really, but I have ready it several times. There are times when I dream about how the movie will play out, and it's completely opposite from what I've read. Yeah, I'm worse than the directors, putting in stuff that's not even in the books. But my movie was way better! I can't wait for Deathly Hallows 7.2! WOO HOO! So good night everybody!

Random, but it has a point!

Have you ever had a dream where your mouth was filled with gunk, and you're trying to get it out, but it's just not all coming out? Well, I have that dream often, and the other night, I had that dream. For some reason, whatever this stuff was, it just wasn't coming out! I had the GRAND idea to try to pull out as much as I could, and just cut the rest out. Well, I did that, and ended up cutting off part of my tongue. I couldn't speak for a while, my tongue was all crooked, but it soon healed itself. Just that I was trying to prevent my tongue from bleeding so badly. So note to self: If I even get anything stuck in my mouth, do not use sharp objects to get them out, or I'll bleed.

Another reoccurance, I don't think that's a word, that happens in my dreams is that the dreams sometimes take place at the apartment complex I lived in for a majority of my elementary/jr. high school days - the Raleigh Station Apartments. I guess it's because I had a lot of fun living there, especially since my cousins lived right across the street from us. So, if it's not aliens about to attack us and land in the play area behind us, it's seeing tornadoes form to the south of us going towards Mississippi, coming to pick up our entire apartment. Seeing people surf in the ditch next to the complex, ending at the back field that runs behind it, or leaving the complex to get to my old high school, I mean I have a lot of dreams about that apartment complex. Last night was no different. I had a dream that the back part of the complex near the pool flooded, and right in front where we parked was flooded, so my friends, who drove this huge Dodge Ram, had to drop me off at the apartment. Speaking of Dodge rams, I had a dream once where I had traded in my old eclipse for a black Dodge Ram, and my brother took it from me. Two years later I get a text message from my mom, telling me that my brother just got a new truck, and guess what it was? A black Dodge Ram! I had a dream about that thing, and it's currently sitting in our garage now! Now, if only I could dream about the Powerball numbers, and remember them when I wake up!

So that's about it. I had to fight with my 2 year old to get her to take a nap. She's finally down for the count, so I guess I'll try to go to sleep while she's napping. Until later!

They're Just So Scattered Now!

Okay, so the main reason, I believe, that I haven't been able to blog about any of my dreams is because it has been pretty difficult to try to remember any of them. They're all scattered all over the place, pieces here and there, it's a mess! Do you know that it took me crossing over Summer at Waring this morning to figure out my dream from last night? Yeah, I couldn't remember a thing about it. And just now, I remembered there were other parts of the dream, but I think those parts happened during the snoozing session. Anyway, on to the dream, or at least what I can remember.

So, I have a group of friends from high school that I still keep in touch with, not just through social media, but people I have known for years. I guess this dream happened because I was talking about them yesterday. Anyway, one of them was pregnant (she's not anymore, the baby is a few months old now). We were all vacationing at this little cottage on the beach, and she had been playing pranks on everyone, and we were like, someone has to get her back! Well, some folks came up with the idea of scaring her one night when she went out on the porch. I thought it was a bad idea, being that she's pregnant, and she'll probably get emotional or something. Well, needless to say, my opinion was vetoed and they went ahead with the plan. My friend Brandon (his actual name is Chris, but he, for some reason now, goes by Brandon) was going to be the one to scare her. So she's out on the porch, listening to nature, when suddenly the porch light went out. She started shouting "Turn the light back on, I'm still out here", but nothing happened. Then all of the lights in the house went off, and she started freaking out. She got up out of the chair, and Brandon comes around the corner and scoops her up. She's starts screaming and yelling for help, swinging her arms and punching at him. Well, he puts her down and goes "It's just me, calm down!" She didn't. She's still screaming, talking about it wasn't funny, how dare he do that to her, that was mean, and all of this junk, forgetting about all of the pranks she pulled on everyone else while on vacation. Well, he kept trying to get her to calm down, and she just started punching the crap out of him. Now this guy is pretty big, and Ash, we'll, she's taller than I am, but she's probably about 5'7 to his 6'0 or so. But she managed to do some damage, and even pulled out some of his hair. Well, we all decided to go out there and try to help calm her down, and she was like "They would have never approved of this." Well, everyone was in on it, and that just set her off even more. She started going off on folks, trying to fight people. She even tried to fight one of my friends, who is a black belt in Tae Kwan Do. Yeah, she was that upset. We all tried to calm her down, and some chick, I guess a former co-worker of hers because I had never seen her before, was trying to help us, and Ash pushed her. The woman pushed Ash back, which caused me to jump off the porch and put the woman in a headlock. No matter what, never put your hands on a pregnant woman. That's just disrespectful! I remember telling her that and told her to go on home. Then I got everyone together and just went off. I was like I told you all not to do this, but no, you didn't want to listen. I like to have fun as much as the next person, but come on! And then I went off on Ash, telling her she only got back what she was dishing out, and if she couldn't take it, don't do it anymore!

All of that just to say to myself that some folks are still stuck in a juvenile mentality! We are all still kids at heart, but there are times when we all need to grow up! These stupid antics and attitudes are getting old, so get over whatever issues you may have had in the past and grow up! Now, I don't have an issue with any of my friends, but I guess this stemmed from dealing with folks on a daily bases who are still stuck in that on being child like, helpless, can't do anything for themselves. It's sad, really. I wish some grown folks would just act right.

And then I had a blood-diamond dream. We were in Africa, the part where the diamond minds are located, and there were just diamonds everywhere! I mean strewn all across the grounds, you couldn't step anywhere without stepping on a diamond. Suddenly I'm in the gift shop (there's a gift shop in the middle of Africa), and I was picking up little trinkets to buy, when suddenly some dude in a samurai suit just starts swing his sword at me, and I almost dropped my jade elephant I wanted to get. And there were like tubs of diamonds in the middle of the shop, and I hid in one of them. The samurai dude disappeared, and I got up to leave when my brother shows up in his truck, and took me home. Yeah, what did I eat last night before I went to bed?

There were some other parts of the dream, one part that is a frequent visitor to my dream - the wonky stair cases! Seriously, it's a play off of that picture, the house filled with stairs going in every direction, some stopping just short of the floor I need to get on, others going straight into a wall. All kinds of messed up! This image shows up in my dreams often. May be it represents something I'm trying to obtain, and I fall just short of getting it. Oh, well, just wish I would stop having to jump to the next level, only to discover I should have been going downstairs rather than up.

And that, my friends, is that! Tune in Sunday, after judgement day, to see if I had an Armageddon dream. I haven't had one of those in a while. Until next time!

Sorry...

I've been on a long hiatus due to school and work, so I will be back soon with a plethora of dreams. More to come. Just wanted to let you all I was still thinking about you. Besides, I have forgotten the last few dreams I've had. I guess that's the whole purpose of me blogging about it because if I don't, I'll forget them. Anyway, I'll be back. I promise! Keep your shirt on, I don't want to see all of that hair. Eww!

Before I Drift Off to Sleep...

I've been so busy today, I thought I would finally sit down and discuss what happened in my mind last night. Occasionally I have dreams about the end of the world, Armageddon, the end of days, however you want to put it. The world never ends in my dreams, but they come close. For example, last night's dream was damn near close. I guess it wasn't really the end of the world, but working on getting there. Let's start with the first part, where I was with a group of friends, and we had to run through Wal-Mart to get away from a gang or something, and we ended up going through the back door of the store, looked like the loading dock (I have a lot of dreams like that, going through the back part of a store, coming out at the loading dock). But once we went out the back door, we ended up in an alley in the Bronx (yes, New York), and we walked out unto the streets, only to find ourselves on the strip in Las Vegas. Craziness, I know, but that's where we ended up. So we were walking down the street, and we had to go upstairs to this loft, where one of our professors was hanging out. All of a sudden, it got dark. We were all like what's going on, and the professor started talking in Bible verses, talking about the starts falling from the sky, angels of darkness and death were coming, and the goblins across the street were going to get us if we went out after dark. So we were like what are you talking about? We looked across the street, and there was something flashing a mirror and a light at us. We were freaking out because it was just so dark out, no stars in the sky, no moon, nothing. It was literally pitch black outside, but we were still able to see the outline of these goblins that were feeding off of the humans that were dumb enough to venture out after dark.

So we had to wait out over night in our buildings, something like safe houses for the remaining humans. We were able to get out the next day, like any other day. One of my co-workers and her husband were walking around with me. This time, we were walking down the streets of St. Louis. We spent the day shopping, having fun, but then it started getting dark. We had to hurry up back to the Regions Bank building (our loft was in there) before 7:00. Once it turned 7, the guards would lock the doors, and anyone left outside had to survive the darkness. Some homeless guy who was trying to rob my co-worker got trapped outside, and he was yelling for us to let him in, or he would kill us. We were like no! Needless to say, the goblins got to him pretty quickly.

I ended up waking up from that dream, but then going right back to sleep to start another quick dream. This time, we were at the renewal of vows ceremony for one of our choir members. It was strange because they were all being introduced like it was a play - the bride, the groom, the maid of honor, the best man. It was crazy. And then while the bride was up on the stage, renewing her vows, why was she sitting right next to me in the audience? I was like why aren't you up there? She said that was her twin sister - the girl doesn't have a twin sister, but she does have a younger sister. Anyway, my mom for some reason what just talking so loudly through the ceremony. Finally I asked her to talk softer, but that seemed to piss her off. She started screaming, yelling at everyone. Finally my brother and I had to escort her out of the sanctuary. I took her to her room, and she just kept screaming. I shook her, asked her to stop, and she looked at me like I was wrong (she actually does that sometimes, but I've never shook her - that would be death for me). After she finally calmed down, I woke up.

Now, let's go back to the first dream. Usually in my end of the world dreams, I try to make sure that everyone I care about are safe - friends, family, the usual. It was the same in this dream - had to make sure my baby was safe, brothers, mom, dad, nieces and nephew, several of my friends from high school, those I meet after high school, and so on. I swear that loft was crowded! We survived though. I guess I'm always thinking of ways to try to make sure everyone I care about is safe, thus if the world ends, everyone needs to meet me at the Regions building on Poplar. Now, if they don't have a loft, we'll just have to build one.

A Little Light on the Dreams Last Night

Ironic right now that I'm watching Dora the Explorer with my pumpkin, and they are talking about the dream fairy. I would have needed her last night because I didn't dream about much last night. Basically Kayla and I were hanging out with some of my church members, singing and dancing, and Kayla kept trying to destroy my homework. So not cool, kid! Other than that, nothing much happened in my dream last night.

I guess I could talk about some other dreams that I've had. Right now, I can remember bits and pieces of dreams I've had several years ago. One that really comes to mind is the ones I had about Kayla - well, sort of because I had the dream several years before I had her. I was in a car accident and I was in a coma for several years. When I woke up, I saw my niece holding this little girl that looked just like me. I was like wow, of course my niece would have a child that looks like her aunt. Nothing out of the ordinary because I look a little like my aunt(s). Well, my niece told me this little girl was my child, not her's. I was like how? I didn't know I was pregnant when I had the accident. Now all of a sudden I have this little girl. She was such a little doll! I had several dreams like that in the months that followed. When I found out I was pregnant, my dad told me I was having a girl. Grant it I was only 8 weeks pregnant, so how would he know. Needless to say, I have a little girl, and she looks just like the little girl in my dream. I do believe that some dreams a premonitions, but that's just me. May be there are others out there that think the same, but I thought it was fascinating that this little girl that's in my life right now, I meet her in a dream.

Enough with the mushy, I will try to have something better tomorrow. If not, I will write about some other dreams I've had - like the one with the tornado that was nothing but a column of hair, or the dream I have about Summer Avenue is this huge bridge, almost shaped like a roller coaster. Man, I have a lot of crazy dreams. Oh, yeah, I think I'll talk about the one I told my boyfriend about the other night. That one was crazy. But now, I must go - my dream baby has an appointment.
