Ihaven't posted in a while, but not because I haven't had any dreams but because I kept forgetting what they were. Here we go then.
A few nights ago...
I was in large mall parking lot and I was waiting or looking for someone, maybe my dad or some friends, maybe both. I ended up walking in and around the mall. I ended up finding a Peruvian food stand and I ordered some food, which was alright but I suggested to the chef that they stick to cooking a Peruvian style of chicken instead of trying to cover so many dishes. The chef then became very upset with me and told me I had no right to make that suggestion. Then I remember talking to my dad who confirmed he thought that stand was pretty bad.
The night after I found myself dreaming about being on a trip with my mom and brother. At one point we had to get on a triple decker train, but my brother had to go to the bathroom before we boarded. Then we boarded without him and the train left without him. Then I remember being in a desert, walking around with my mom and Michael and maybe my brother, apparently on some sort of tour. We walked around a bunch of plateaus and mesas. But we were alone, tired, and didn't have any water. But then Michael found an abandoned stand and somehow found ice cream in it. My mom didn't have any but I did. Then we kept walking around and we reached a rocky stretch of land but then we found a flattened out stretch of land with a velvet rope lining the edge.
Last night was one of the weirdest dreams of all. I don't know everything that occurred or the order. I remember there was at some point snow. I had a cottage in the woods during winter. A group of kids that I went to high school with was going around the neighborhood door to door asking for donations for a charity. At some point I baked a chocolate cake and maybe gave it to an old friend. I also went to my high school and worked out with the basketball team. I remember seeing a bunch of people I hadn't seen in a while. I don't know why I saw the people I did. Weird.

Family and Death
The night before last I had a dream where I spent some time with my cousins in Peru. We pretty much did a bunch of sketchy teenage things and ate some food, and then went to a sketchy teenage party. It was a pretty cool college party. I remember eating some chicken and rice.
Last night I had a dream that some I knew died, and I thought it was my dad. I think I remember seeing him in a coffin. But then I realized my dad was still walking and around and alive after I went to the burial. At the burial I threw petals of multicolored flowers into the grave. It was strangely beautiful. I don't know who it was that died. I also remember hearing something about my ex boyfriend's new girlfriend. I don't know her, but I have wondered about her. In my dream, I heard her name.
What's weird about my death dream is that two girls died in a car accident early last night, very near my house. I didn't find out until this afternoon. My mom says a lot of people brought flowers to the place of the accident.

Dream Within a Dream
Last night I began my dreaming as a student who was attending a sort of blend between college and high school, and I was the last pick for the orchestra, but I was in. So everyone was getting to know each other when all of a sudden the director came out of his office and told everyone we had an hour to practice before chair placement auditions and then handed us the music. Everyone panicked and went to different classrooms to practice. I was freaking out and also went into a room to practice, but it took me forever to find a room. After playing a few notes I realized my violin sounded terrible. Then I went to find the director to tune it, and on the way there I broke my violin bow. At that point I "woke up" (in my dream still) and I was surrounded by the orchestra. I told them about my dream and they laughed.
At some later point in the dream I had to submit a proposal for a science project. Everyone's proposal was great except for mine, because I had forgotten to use some weird physics equation which was essential to the project. So the teacher asked me to do it again. I went off to the library and I cried in frustration. Then I remember focusing very hard on the equation and what it was talking about, and I figured out a new proposal, and went back and turned it in to my teacher.
Additionally, I had another dream during the night where I rode around in a homemade vehicle, and I had to find my brother somewhere in the city, and I ran into my cousins.

Acne Nightmare
Before I went to sleep at Alyssa's house last night, we ended up talking about Accutane acne medicine.
I ended up having a dream (nightmare?) where I had some really intense acne all over my face when I woke up the next morning.

Drunken Frat Party
Last night I had a dream where it was the last few days of college. My mom had come over to help me pack up my stuff, and then she'd gone to sleep at the hotel. Soon after my mom left my friend Alyssa and I collectively decided we wanted to get really drunk. So we walked around campus and ended up finding my friend Matt J., who was partying it up with his frat, which in reality is DKE but in the dream it was AEPi. So we when into some room where he was but we decided not to drink there because it looked sketchy. Then we talked to a very drunk Matt who said very few words. The girls who were also there also said very little, which made for a very awkward moment overall and Alyssa and I decided to leave, and then I decided to split and go pack some more things.
First few dreams
Here are some dreams I haven't posted yet. They get progressively more interesting.
I. For some reason, the Olsen twins invited me to some high-end fashion show. To get in I had to say I was with the Olsen twins and the security guard asked me what their names were. In my dream, I was apparently an idiot and said "Mary...and Kate" ... "oh wait, Ashley." Well I got in anyway and they took me around the show helping me pick out some ridiculously expensive things I could never afford and then they sent me out at the end of the show. At the door some cashier started ringing the items up and I had to stop and say I couldn't afford all the couture jewelry and stuff, so I picked one item out that I like the best and payed too much for it. Then I stepped out and I was like in a village market or something.
II. I was sitting in a classroom at Duke, which in reality does not exist, that was mostly gray colored and shaped like a semi circle, with long tables curving around with seats evenly spaced out behind them. I was sitting in class and my boyfriend came in, late, holding a rosemary chicken drumstick which he was eating, and it smelled delicious. It made me think of some chicken dish they used to have at my elementary school. So when class was over we went to the cafeteria for lunch to get me some chicken and low and behold the cafeteria was just like my elementary school one. I got in line, bought my chicken, went to sit down next to my boyfriend, and then hesitated and sat in the seat across from the empty one next to him to test him, and then his friend Derek came and sat in the spot, talking quite loudly and excitedly I might add. Then my high school principal came into the cafeteria and made some forgettable announcement.
III. All I remember about this dream is seeing my friend Alyssa laughing hysterically. And as weird it is to type this, especially following that sentence, at some point my dream took a different turn and by the end of it I was essentially doing what I guess was masturbating in my dream, although there wasn't a real-life motion attached to it. Please don't put the two together, as tempting as it may be for you.
IV. I was visiting some friend's house who doesn't exist in real life, but in the dream we were buds and he had a mansion in Colorado or something. So he essentially owned his own little ski town and his multiple cottages were connected through a trolley that ran alongside a canal built into his home. We rode on it and at some point decided to go swimming in the canal and all of a sudden I found myself going down a slide, which led to some imaginary famous press conference room in Japan. My boyfriend was there and we apparently were all of a sudden taking a trip there. My friend David S. showed up at some point and he was applying to get a job there so I showed him around or something because I was temporarily in access of the behind the scenes. Then I went to find my boyfriend and we ended up finding lodging in a hotel that had an integrated water park, so you had to ride slides and etc. to get to your room, which was awesome. Then at some point we were naked at the top of a slide and to our dismay we discovered some onlookers soon after. Then we slid down the slide and ended up in the press conference room.
V. So this one only makes sense because I had been watching TV on the couch before I fell asleep and I had seen a combination of crime investigation shows about murders, an animal planet show about zebras, and various news stations, which lulled me to sleep. The dream is as follows. First I realized I was in a reality TV show and competing against a group of adults. On some sort of first task we ended up having to go to Ted Kennedy's house and ask him about his tumor (with all due respect). Then we looked outside his window and realized he had a forest as a backyard, which wouldn't have been all that extraordinary if we hadn't heard a gun shot in the distance and then seen a herd of zebras run through the forest. But we didn't have time to pay attention to that because then a bat flew into the room. At first we thought it was a huge moth but then realized it was a bat, which then died but we never paid much attention to it because then one of the women competing in the reality show wanted to show me some special pills she had. After swallowing them, her voice became able to change into that of a different newscaster every ten seconds as she was talking. Then two gay guys also competing came out of the closet randomly.

When I'm in the middle of a dream
Hello readers. In Christmas of 2007, a good friend at the time gave me a very nice journal he had purposely stolen through a White Elephant Exchange at a holiday party. As time has passed since then, it turns out we are no longer on the good terms we used to fall under and so until now, the journal had been largely unnoticed. Recently I decided it was about time I put it to good use. I was going to fill its pages with records of my dreams, every night that I could remember them.
That idea failed.
Although I have to admit defeat and surrender to technology, I just can't write in it every day with the ease I have with an online blog, where thoughts quickly become nicely typed words, and the journal is always at hand in the form of my laptop or Blackberry browser. It really is very paradoxical of me, a self-proclaimed romantic, but shoot. I must wave my white flag.
Don't worry, I'll try not to let the freedom of a keyboard make my entries as long and cluttered as my college paper drafts tend to be.
So from now on, I will share my dreams with the Internet, you, and in the future, myself. I guess when I dream something I can't really post, I'll go back to the poor tangible journal.
*for kicks, here's the first few entries I wrote:
5/12/08
It's been a while since I got this [the journal] as a "gift," as you may be able to say, by the dedication. But now I'm ready to put this to good use. Dream journal - begin. (Date goes by the day which preceded the night that the dream took place unless otherwise stated.)
5/10/08
I dreamt [no spell check on handwritten journals] an asteroid was supposed to hit the U.S. At the time I was at Duke for summer school/Howard Hughes and I decided that if I was to die by the asteroid it was fate so I didn't bother hiding. So as I walked outside I saw a big rock fall from the sky into a construction site next to Central Campus, which was deep. Deep enough for the rock to fall in and then bounce out, and back in. Nothing else seemed to happen. When I went back to my apartment I decided to go by my boyfriend's room and and see what he was up to. But as I stepped out the ground was covered in a fine green powder that smelled toxic - some sort of fallout. So I went back inside and I was directed by a student to a route that led me to my boyfriend's room from the inside. My recollection stops there.
