Dreamscapes X

7/23/07
I was at the Renaissance Fair with my g/f. Constructed from wood, a new theatre had been built in the likeness of the head of a man wearing a plumed hat. I went over to see it and as I approached some chick told me to tell Mr. Brian (?) my preference for the first video showing that was about to take place inside the theatre. I entered the open mouth of the man's head theatre and sat at the bar where Mr. Brian stood. I asked him what my options were for the video, and he instead told me which beer he was drinking which was a blue Pabst Blue Ribbon. I ordered one and sat down and drank it with my g/f who had since come to see what the hubbub was about. I think I drank two and we left and headed towards the buses to catch a ride home. Suddenly CAS, MDT, and T.S joined us as we waited for a bus. Soon after, the bus came, a yellow school bus, and picked us up. There were a bunch of people still coming to get a ride, but the bus driver took off, whipping a donut as he left. Then he whipped another. Then another in the other direction. Soon I found myself on the hood of the bus doing break dancing spin moves with my hands to break beat music, emanating from the bus, while the bus whipped donuts. After enjoying this for a while, I was aware that no one was driving the bus, nor was there anyone in the bus, and I had to drive the bus myself, whipping donuts as well as dancing on the roof - it got quite complex and difficult, trying to switch between the two. I was now doing this on the playground yard where I went to elementary school, bus and all. Imagine seeing that! I remember then a commercial with a small kid with long dreadlock hair telling viewers to buy his newest release on CD. He promised that there were no "repeaters" on the disc and that the tracks were totally rad. It was my commercial.

I was dreaming of being at home, shoveling out the front yard so my dad's truck could park there. The truck kept sliding off into the street and I had to quickly get in and drive it on the lawn so as not to cause traffic on the road. I then tried shoveling out a bigger spot, but it kept slipping back onto the street. Aaron from work came driving up and and offered to pick me up to drive me to my Grandma's house, but after driving away I decided that he drop me off at home again because I forgot something. He told me that he was going to drop off his g/f first, but after some time on our trek, he came to a stop in the middle of the road and let her out along with a friend of mine who had been along for the ride the whole time. I decided to get out as well and Aaron followed suite; it was about 5 am. We were now going to get breakfast together and he knew some place around the corner (his g/f and my friend had since disappeared). I followed him to this little shop where the menu was practically non-existent. I asked if they accepted credit cards, but they did not, so I was suddenly wandering this strange city to find an ATM. Aaron was trying to help me, but we parted ways and I walked into the warehouse district of town. After entering many buildings looking for the ATM, I stumbled upon L.Y. from my Chinese classes. She was BMX biking in a small room with a tiny 2 foot half-pipe pulling off some sweet tricks. Suddenly I was also BMX biking and I went onto the pipe and struck up a conversation with her, while we were doing tricks. I talked about music and how I got into BMX biking (something I don't do). I became aware of a group of people following us. They were after L.Y.'s eyes because they were a light blue (I have no idea what color her eyes really are, for those readers who will give me grief for knowing another girl's eye color). The dream morphed into an action movie, where we were running from this group of people. We were separated, but eventually met up again in the maze that was the warehouse district. In the last part of the dream I had to let someone else watch over her and protect her because the group had targeted me instead and I couldn't risk her being caught. This has to be one of the funniest dreams I've had, now that I'm reading it. What nonsense!

CAS and I were chillin' near the spot where the Chuck Wagon used to be. It was a valley of blue pillars of jagged ice and standing water at various depths below. We would traverse small areas in the landscape where there were good sized holes, and we would have to cross it by walking along the sides of the ice, on the rim of the holes. As we did, some ice and snow would fall off into the water a few feet below, and we would slip in, our legs and boots getting soaked. As we traipsed this hazardous course, with snow falling out beneath our legs, almost falling many feet, I discovered a tree house constructed between three trees that grew up through the ice. I climbed up to examine it, and Chuck kept exploring. I saw a bear running after me a few feet away, and I jetted up one of the trees for my life. A wooden ladder was standing against one of the trees and I had to climb it to get away. The bear kept jumping and snapping at my feet, but he never got me. I even remembered that bears climbed trees in the dream, except this one did not.

In parts of another dream, I was at a bar with my g/f, J.S., an old roommate and schoolmate, and a few other people. We stole four seats at the bar when their owners left and kept telling other people we were holding them when they approached for a seat while we waited for our other friends to sit down. Ozzie Osbourne, Billy Corgan, and other famous rock stars came down from a catwalk above the bar, down behind the bar, and everyone was going crazy with excitement because this was unexpected. J.S. was asking me if I ever saw some movie where the protagonist consumes a multitude of drugs (I think we've all seen that movie). I remember having to stand in line for a bathroom because one of the other three was out of order and the second was closed for some reason.

I was eating breakfast at elementary school. The school was a log cabin. I had to choose from a menu that was impossible to pick from due to all the good stuff they had. I noticed J.V. was there but she was ignoring me.

This next one was flipped! I had checked into a hotel for the night, and was walking around trying to find the ice machine. A giant T-Rex or gorilla that filled the halls with its sheer size was wandering around the building looking for victims to maul. It could get you in the halls, but you were safe in the rooms. Somehow, it could enter the stairways and get to other floors, although the doorways were too small for it to fit through. I entered rooms whenever I could to escape the beast, and eventually made it back to the front desk. The night manager was unaware of any large beast in the building and didn't really do anything about it; he was quite apathetic about the whole thing.

7/4/07
I was in Jamaica and Bob Marley was performing for many days in a row nearby. I was able to get some free tickets for all of the shows. The first performance was ok, but subsequent ones were sub par (I don't recall hearing or seeing Bob Marley in the dream). I was on a dirt road near a forest, and some fields were nearby. A guide told us (I don't remember who was with me) the police were after us, so we had to wait by one of the open fields where it was safe for white folks (don't ask, I have no idea), while he investigated what was going on. I saw hippies and such living in the fields growing crops as I walked along the road trying to find a spot to hide.

Before that dream, there was one with a talent show at school. I dropped out of it at the very last second. Later, I was at the cabin performing with Dome and a few other old band mates. We were improvising a song. Someone told me that I had true talent because I could just make something up and make it sound good.

6/30/07?
My house was on campus, and I had forgotten to get my car to go to work. I decided the best route of transportation was to take a green plastic bowl and slide down I-94 off Huron. I tried many times to take running starts, but it wasn't working very well. He exit soon became a green hill and it led down to a lake and some docks. The smash hit single, "Hate Me" from Blue October was playing in the dream, or in my head, but in reality although it was actually their song, the band was someone else.

Was in the tropics and saw snails or crabs that had huge (5-7 feet tall) rainbow colored shells in the shape of stacked square containers, each segment of the shell smaller than the next. Those shells that had animals left a black slimy residue behind them as they progressed forward. I had some group activity thing with about 6-10 other people. They were a clique' and I was out of their circle at first. We climbed this concrete tower, which box spiraled to the top (somewhat similar to the rainbow shells), that had those same strange shells strewn about the path to the top of the tower, and we were careful to avoid even touching them. Once we reached the top, we started discussing some personal issue and I said my experience with whatever it was. We all formed a great friendship due to the bonding and returned to the base of the tower.

The last dream of the evening involved my Mac computer. It came to be because I had awoken from the previous two dreams and I was trying to tell myself to get up and write them down before they were forgotten. I fell asleep while doing this. In my dream, I was trying to find a website to analyze my dreams before I wrote them down. I went to dreams.com and then the fun started. Suddenly, my web browser continuously opened new web pages. I couldn't get it to stop, I tried force quitting and using the auxillary power button turn off technique, but to no avail. I kept getting messages that said the computer couldn't quit because there were running programs that couldn't be quit. Then I got the idea to pull the battery out of the computer, but for some reason, I didn't do this. The computer began playing music from whatever websites it was opening. I then proceeded to quick command close all of the websites. I eventually caught up with the computer, but by this time, it had already downloaded and opened other programs which were further destroying my computer. The cycle continued until I pissed myself off enough to wake up.

6/25/07
The college exit ACT was upon everyone and that included myself. I took it thinking I was going to fail, but my friend who happened to be the character Zach from The Gilmore Girls took it with me. Playing up to his character, he ended up doing terribly - I somehow saw his score, and ended up not doing so bad.
